Chapter 62
Instead of rushing to leave, she watched the excitement for a while longer. After confirming that these people were even more confused than she had imagined, Weisheng, with a sly grin on his face, tucked the forklift parked in the corner into the space to confuse the audience. The matter was settled, and she disembarked the Edinburgh with a slight sense of pride.
Let’s not talk about Weisheng’s journey back to Hong Kong as planned, let’s just talk about the people transporting gold on the Edinburgh.
There was so much gold that it took them a long time to carry it into the cabin. However, less than half an hour after they entered the cabin, oh no, to be exact, ten minutes after they locked the cabin door, the gold disappeared.
These people, who never believed in ghosts or gods, first suspected that there was a mechanism in the cabin.
Perhaps after they left, someone activated some mechanism and moved the gold to another floor or room.
No, absolutely nothing. We searched the entire cargo ship but couldn't find any trace of the gold.
So these people were really panicked. While contacting the land, they continued to inspect the entire freighter.
Soon after, the team transporting the gold split into two. One group took a speedboat back to Hong Kong, while the other group remained on the boat and continued to track the gold.
Well, they still suspected the gold was still on the Edinburgh.
~
Weisheng returned to Hong Kong and went abroad with a fake identity. After that, he waited for the two female bodyguards to finish their crash course and returned to Hong Kong together.
At this time, seven or eight days had passed since the gold disappeared, but there was still no news related to gold from Hong Kong.
If word got out at this point that $2 billion in gold was missing, Hong Kong would be in uncontrollable chaos. But if the matter wasn't exposed now, the general manager of the foreign exchange bank, who orchestrated all this with foreign partners, would likely flee.
Pursing her lips, Weisheng deeply hated this kind of traitor but also knew what the overall situation was, so she kept her mouth shut about the matter, but secretly planned to kidnap the bank manager and then record a video of his confession. After the gold incident came out, she would make this video public.
Within a few days, Weisheng tied the man up and put him into the space. Then he interrogated him wearing a homemade mask. He first took a true confession, and then made up a more believable one based on the true confession.
For example, someone was loyal and devoted but ended up dying tragically.
"I'm Zhang Liangpu, General Manager of the Foreign Exchange Bank. By the time this video is released, I might not be alive anymore. They took 2 billion in gold and are trying to kill me to silence me..."
After recording the video, Weisheng threw the bastard into the sea to feed the fish.
After that, he stayed in Hong Kong and took the time to melt all the gold into gold ingots.
In order to let people know that this batch of gold ingots belonged to the Fang family, Weisheng also engraved the words "Zhoushan Fang Family in the 10th Year of the Republic of China" under the gold ingot mold.
Everything went smoothly, but what Weisheng didn't expect was that this batch of gold ingots were actually short in weight during the remelting process.
After 2 billion gold was transported into the space, Weisheng weighed it out of curiosity.
No more, no less, exactly 2.2 tons.
After being melted into gold ingots again, 2.2 tons of gold became 2 tons.
After cleaning the mold and furnace again, only five or six kilograms of gold were swept out, far less than the original 2.2 tons.
At this time, Weisheng couldn't help but suspect that there were too many impurities in this batch of gold, which was why it "shrank" so seriously.
After melting the gold, Weisheng remembered that she had not yet obtained enough old wooden boxes.
Not daring to customize them in China, Weisheng went to Chinatowns abroad several times and collected a batch of wooden boxes like a thief.
The gold was packed into a box, locked and sealed, and finally piled in the corner of the space by Weisheng.
Even if such a large amount of gold is to be transported out of the Fang family's old house, it cannot be put in now. Otherwise, it will be uninhabited for a long time and people will take advantage of it.
…
In June 1993, the gold scandal was finally exposed. The news shocked everyone in Hong Kong, and the panic and turmoil caused by it could not be deterred even by the dispatch of the Flying Tigers.
Weisheng waited for another half a month, and when he saw that the time was ripe, he took his bodyguards to the mainland and met with the central leaders there.
Weisheng said that she had 2 tons of gold passed down from her ancestors that she could use to stabilize the situation in Hong Kong, but she hoped that the mainland could send someone to Hong Kong to open a bank and escort her to transport this ancestral property all the way to Hong Kong and deposit it in the bank.
After that, Wei Sheng and Wei Zhensheng became household names in Hong Kong, mainland China and Hong Kong.
Wei Zhensheng once privately asked Weisheng about the matter of that batch of gold. Weisheng was close to him, so he picked out what he could say and told him the true origin of the gold.
Even after learning about this later, Wei Zhensheng remained true to his business principles, speaking eloquently of patriotism in newspaper and television interviews, and cultivating a patriotic image for himself. When Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, Wei Zhensheng and Wei Sheng donated the two tons of gold to the Hong Kong government after the handover ceremony.
For many years thereafter, Wei Zhensheng pursued his business while simultaneously expressing his patriotism by building a martyrs' cemetery. Wei Sheng explored various interests, enjoyed life, engaged in platonic love, and gave back to society by building several libraries.
Wen Keer's business is getting bigger and bigger. Not only does she manage the film and television base and hotel residences very well, she also uses the film and television base to enter the entertainment industry. Not only has she produced many well-received film and television dramas, but she has also created many variety shows that people watch repeatedly.
As she earned more and more money, Wen Keer invested it in real estate...
Even though Wen Ke'er is busy with work, she always takes her husband and children with her whenever she goes on business trips. If the children can't go to school, she will just take Sheng Sinian with her, allowing them to spend some quality time together amidst their busy schedules.
As a stay-at-home husband, Sheng Sinian initially devoted himself to his family and children. As his children grew up, he turned his attention to photography.
Maybe because he took too many portraits of his wife and children, he is better at this.
However, after holding two solo exhibitions, Wen Ke'er unexpectedly became pregnant again, so Sheng Sinian once again focused his life on family and caring for the pregnant woman.
Because they were both registered as Hong Kong residents, they were not subject to mainland China's family planning restrictions. Furthermore, they had always been very affectionate, so when it came to something like a death, it was inevitable that it would happen again and again.
Originally, the Sheng family looked down on a grassroots daughter-in-law like Wen Ke'er, but as Wen Ke'er's worth increased year by year and she became a sought-after legendary businesswoman, the Sheng family's attitude towards Wen Ke'er also changed drastically.
But...that’s nothing to Wen Keer.
However, Weisheng and Shen Hanchuan had never thought about registering their marriage. Both Wei Zhensheng and the Shen family had urged them no less than eight hundred times, but seeing that the two were still determined to do so, they were too lazy to say anything more.
Although she had 2 tons of gold and several martyrs' cemeteries, Wei Sheng emptied out all her family savings and spent huge sums of money to build two cross-sea bridges in order to allow Wei Zhensheng to be buried under the national flag.
When Wei Zhensheng was dying, Weisheng included the libraries built over the years in Wei Zhensheng's achievements.
Finally, thanks to Weisheng's continuous efforts, Wei Zhensheng was buried covered with the national flag.
However, according to Wei Zhensheng's will, his coffin was buried in the Fang family's ancestral tomb, and only a cenotaph was built in Hong Kong.
After taking over all the inheritance and Minsheng under Wei Zhensheng's name using the will that Wei Zhensheng had made many years ago, Weisheng found a professional manager to manage Minsheng and moved to the old house in Zhoushan to settle down.
Shen Hanchuan also followed, and after living together, there was a little more tacit understanding and intimacy between them than before.
But it didn't take long for Shen Hanchuan to fall down the stairs when he returned to Hong Kong to visit his relatives.
Because Weisheng and Shen Hanchuan did not register their marriage, and Shen Hanchuan did not make a will, his inheritance was divided among his closest blood relatives.
When Wen Ke'er found out about this, even though she knew Weisheng didn't need that much money, she still grumbled for a long time.
However, the Shen family was respectable and even packed up some of Shen Hanchuan's belongings for Weisheng to keep as a keepsake.
In fact, two years ago, many of Shen Hanchuan's things were moved to the old house in Zhoushan. The relics on the Shen family's side are not as many as those at Weisheng's.
Without Chen Hanshan as his companion, Weisheng's life seemed no different.
But sometimes I feel a little lonely and think this quiet house is too deserted.
When Wen Ke'er was fifty-three years old, she began to deal with the property under her name. She knew that Weisheng was not interested in this and had no children, so the share dividends did not mean much to her.
So after consulting Weisheng, she helped him dispose of all the properties and shares under her name. She then transferred the money to the designated account according to Weisheng's wishes.
Weisheng used the money to buy a batch of gold and silver, and then melted them into gold bars and silver cakes in the world in the painting, leaving them as her reserve funds in other worlds.
In addition to real gold and silver, Weisheng also bought a lot of silver dollars and exchanged them for many versions of US dollars, British pounds, Hong Kong dollars, and Chinese currency from different periods.
Because he had a lot of free time, Weisheng collected a lot of materials in his later years based on the idea of collecting whatever he could think of, and stored them in the space.
Because building a house in the world of the painting was too troublesome, and it was not very convenient to have someone build it and then put it away, Weisheng simply bought twenty-two 45-foot containers and converted them into warehouses himself.
The internal dimensions of a 45-foot container are very pleasant, more than 13 meters long, more than 2 meters wide, and 2.6 meters high.
Weisheng stacked the containers in a 7*8*7 pattern and built a U-shaped warehouse in the open space at the foot of the mountain.
A thick layer of steel plate is placed under the container, and a layer of anti-corrosion flooring is laid in the area in the middle that looks like a small courtyard.
There was a wide and long table and two swivel chairs on it.
Stacking the containers higher can save a lot of space, and stacking them on three sides will make it easier for microorganisms to classify the materials in more detail.
A safety staircase with multiple extensions was built in front of the stacked containers. To prevent them from moving, the ladder legs were welded to the steel plates below. This made it easier and safer to get on and off.
In her later years, Weisheng devoted most of her energy to figuring out how to fill these containers properly. Even at the end of her life, she hadn't spent all the money she had earned.
-- over--
In the summer of 1966, in a dry well in a deserted garden.
As soon as Weisheng was woken by the cold, he quickly looked around and found himself under a dry well that was dirty and smelly, with rats jumping out from time to time. His face changed.
I hate mice!
In order to prevent rats from destroying his warehouse, Weisheng also raised a cat in the space. Then the rats were gone, but the fish in the river and the birds in the mountains suffered.
Because her cats were mixed-breed, Weisheng had to sterilize them regularly. Because her medical philosophy differed from that of modern veterinary medicine, Weisheng, in a fit of anger, taught herself veterinary medicine.
Fortunately, she had a basic medical background. Although animals' physiological structures differed from humans', she was much better at understanding them than other beginners. Furthermore, she had performed surgery on small animals when she was studying medicine. So, Weisheng attended classes for two semesters and took a few practical classes, and she never took her cat to the vet again.
Anyway, when he saw the rats running around, the first thought that came to Weisheng's mind was:
Release the cat! Bite it!!!
But then Weisheng thought about why she was here. So he looked at his hands and carefully felt this young body in the moonlight coming through the well.
It’s great to be young!
After expressing his feelings about his new journey, Weisheng began to accept the original owner's memories and the story of this time in a good mood.
The original owner's Chinese name was Ming Jin, and he was born in romantic France.
In 1962, ten-year-old Ming Jin returned to China with his parents and settled in Xiangcheng.
Mingjin's father was a physics scholar who was hired by the Physics Department of Xiangcheng University after returning to China. Mingjin's mother also joined the Foreign Languages Department of Xiangcheng University.
With two university professors in the family, the Ming family's life is not as good as when they were in France, but it is still better than other families.
But the good times did not last long. In the second half of 1966, the school received an order from above to stop recruiting students.
In addition, after Xiangcheng University and other universities could no longer recruit students, they laid off faculty and staff with overseas study backgrounds.
Just clear them out. The Ming family still has some savings, so they can always make ends meet. But then something even more terrifying happened.
Ming Jin's parents were accused of several crimes and suffered the most brutal treatment during this special period. Many of those people were students that Ming Jin's parents had taught...
Mingjin was terrified. She didn't know what was going on. Why did the older brothers and sisters, who used to respect their parents, now abuse and beat them?
She couldn't understand why those students who usually came to her house for dinner and whose parents were very nice to her looked at her with such jealous eyes, hit her, and snatched her things.
Just as Mingjin was trembling with fear, someone lifted a heavy four-legged stool and smashed it hard at her mother.
Dad pushed Mom away and fell in a pool of blood.
With Ming's father gone, the chaos in the family seemed to cease. Ming's mother, overcome with grief, handled her husband's funeral, and huddled together with her daughter to survive. But even so, the cruelty of fate still befell the Ming family mother and daughter.
Ming's mother was reported as immoral and having problematic conduct because two years ago she wore a bright red dress to teach her students.
Afterwards, Ming's mother was dragged out of her home, had her hair shaved into a yin-yang style, and was paraded through the streets with a pair of worn-out rubber shoes hanging around her neck...
Later, someone came to tell Mingjin that her mother had also died.
