Chapter 278 The Liu Family Crisis
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Meng Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried about this before, and he was afraid that Li Yunsheng would be dissatisfied and that he would be held accountable, which would be bad luck for him.

Meng Dong is very afraid of Li Yunsheng. He has been in Tianjin for many years. The reason why he didn't think carefully is that he has seen Li Yunsheng's methods. He knows that if he has other ideas, he will definitely die a miserable death. After all, no one will allow the existence of traitors. .

At this time Li Yunsheng said: "Take out one of your radio stations and give it to Xu Bing to use from now on." After speaking, he introduced Xu Bing to Meng Dong.

Regarding Li Yunsheng's words, Meng Dong naturally didn't dare to disobey the slightest bit. He directly ordered one of his men to get the radio station, and then asked Li Yunsheng: "District Chief, how will you settle down after you come to Tianjin? Do you need your subordinates to prepare some places for you? Come straight to Paramount."

Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "No, I have my own arrangements. As for Paramount, I can't come here. After all, you people have been lurking in Tianjin for many years, and someone will watch you. If many strange faces suddenly appear, they will It makes people suspicious, you only need to send a few people for me to use, but you must send your own people."

As for how to arrange the people he brought, Li Yunsheng had already planned. After all, he knew that Tianjin would fall, so for convenience in the future, he bought several houses in the concession, and now they just happened to serve as safe houses for his subordinates.

Meng Dong immediately said: "Well, I will let Fang Wenhua and a few people follow you. They are all my own people, so you can rest assured."

Fang Wenhua was the one who led Li Yunsheng in, and he was also an agent who stayed in Tianjin before, so Li Yunsheng nodded, and then said: "There will be a lot of vehicles coming and going in Haiguang Temple recently, you send someone to watch there, look See how many cars are going in."

Haiguang Temple is located in the urban area of ​​TJ. It used to be the headquarters of the Japanese Garrison Army. Now the headquarters has moved to Beiping, where it has become an ordinary garrison base.

Since that generation was originally a Japanese concession, most of the people living in it were Japanese. It took a lot of manpower to keep an eye on it, so Li Yunsheng handed over the matter to Meng Dong. After all, he was under Meng Dong's hands, but There are more than thirty agents.

Regarding this matter, Meng Dong naturally would not hesitate, but he said in doubt: "District Chief, why are we staring at that place?"

Li Yunsheng didn't tell Meng Dong the truth, but said casually: "I have my own intentions, you can do it this way."

Meng Dong nodded, and then stopped asking. After that, Li Yunsheng left the name and address of the hotel where he lived, and the phone number in the room, and asked Fang Wenhua to be on call at any time, and left with Xu Bing.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Bing asked, "District Chief, what should we do next, should we let other people come over?"

Li Yunsheng said calmly: "There is no problem now, you can send a telegram to Zhang Hao and let them all come over, and Fang Wenhua will be responsible for responding."

Xu Bing asked again: "District Chief, if you don't need Meng Dong and the others to arrange a place, then where will our people live after they arrive? Now that Tianjin is an occupied area, it is difficult to accommodate so many people."

Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "I have prepared a few safe houses before, and it is no problem to accommodate dozens of people. This way, separating the people and not getting in touch with the original people can be regarded as more insurance."

Xu Bing said quickly: "Where are we going to live? Should we also be transferred to the safe house?"

Li Yunsheng said softly: "We will live in the hotel. In the future, I will find a way to let you all have a public identity, so that it will be more convenient for you to do things."

Xu Bing asked a few more questions, then turned to send a telegram, while Li Yunsheng was thinking about how to investigate the matter of antiques.

Finally, I thought of Zhang Tianlai who was in Beiping. He had been lurking in Beiping under the orders of Li Yunsheng before, and now he was working in the police station of the puppet government in Beiping. When looting antiques, the movement will never be too small.

So after Xu Bing finished sending the telegram, Li Yunsheng asked her to send a telegram to Zhang Tianlai at the appointed time to find out if the Japanese were looting antiques in Beiping.

While Li Yunsheng was thinking about antiques, in a courtyard in the French Concession, a father and son were worrying. After a while, the son said to his father: "Father, there is no money in the account now. I still owe you money." We have a lot of foreign debts, if we can't sell this batch of cloth, we will go bankrupt in a short time."

The old man sighed and said, "Is there still no one willing to lend us money?"

The son smiled wryly and said, "Most people now know that the Japanese are causing us trouble again, so there are still people who dare to lend us money. Isn't this a firestorm?"

The old man frowned and asked, "Have you gone to those state-owned banks? Are they also unwilling to lend us money?"

The son said helplessly: "The Bank of Communications is willing to lend us some money, but that is just a drop in the bucket. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that our batch of cotton cloth has been targeted by the Japanese and cannot be released at all. Now There is only one way, which is to sell these things to the Japanese, and the reason why the Bank of Communications is willing to lend us some money is probably also worried about this.”

The old man thought for a while, and then said: "Then borrow money from the Bank of Communications first, so that you can hold on for a while, and then I will find foreign friends to see if I can ship this piece of cloth out of Tianjin."

The son said calmly, "Father, Tianjin is the territory of the Japanese after all, and those foreigners don't dare to offend the Japanese easily, or they might as well sell the cloth to the Japanese, so that we can recover some of our capital."

After hearing what his son said, the old man cursed angrily: "I would rather lose my family and lose everything than sell these cloths to the Japanese."

The son said with a wry smile: "Father, we now owe hundreds of thousands of foreign debts. After a while, people who want the debts may come to our door. What will we give back to them? Is it really necessary for the family to be destroyed?"

As soon as the son finished speaking, there was a crisp voice from outside. The voice was very pleasant, but it was a bit deserted: "Even if the family is ruined, they can't sell those cotton cloths to the Japanese. They must be used to make these cloths." Military uniforms and quilts are for the Japanese soldiers on the front line, so we won’t become traitors.”

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, a young woman walked in. The woman was about 1.6 meters and five meters tall, and she looked very beautiful. However, there was some coldness on that face, which made people know that she was an iceberg beauty.

Seeing the woman walking in, the old man said quickly: "Qing'er is back, where have you been today?"

The woman is Li Yunsheng's fiancée Liu Qing, and the father and son are naturally Li Yunsheng's future father-in-law and brother-in-law.

After hearing what her father said, Liu Qing immediately said, "Father, I went to Citibank in the International Settlement today and asked if they could give us a loan."

Liu Zhongyi immediately asked, "What did they say?" Although he was asking, his tone was hopeless, and he just didn't want to dampen his daughter's enthusiasm.

Liu Qing didn't realize that her father's tone was wrong, and quickly said, "Citibank is willing to provide us with a loan of [-] US dollars, but our house and factory must be mortgaged."

Liu Zhongyi knew this would be the result, so he sighed and said: "These foreigners are all virtuous. If they don't see rabbits, they won't scatter eagles. Our house and factory are worth nearly [-] U.S. dollars. They have a good plan." .”

Liu Qing said calmly: "Father, I did the math. Our family's foreign debts that are about to mature are only about 10,000+ silver dollars. If we get the [-] dollars and add the loan from the Bank of Communications, we can pay it off." This foreign debt, so that we can persist for a long time, and then slowly figure out a way."

Liu Zhongyi didn't speak, but immediately thought about it, but Liu Hongyu on the side said: "mortgaging the house and factory is only a temporary solution. This batch of cotton cloth is still unable to be sold. Wait until the next batch of arrears is due. We still can’t get the money out, and not only will the house and factory be gone, but our family will be ruined.”

Liu Qing said sarcastically: "According to your point of view, it is impossible to sell these cloths to the Japanese, or to be a traitor."

Liu Hongyu said unhappily: "Now the Japanese have their eyes on this batch of cloth from our family, and no one dares to take it over. Doing what you said is just a delay for a while. When the time is up, what else can we do. "

When Liu Qing wanted to say something, Liu Zhongyi yelled: "Okay, stop arguing, I won't be a traitor, just do as Xiaoqing said, first borrow money from Citibank, first Let’s talk after this.”

Liu Hongyu said worriedly: "Father, if you do this, the danger will be great, I am afraid that this batch of cloth will not be sold at all, and the loss will be even greater, and the family will really be ruined.

Liu Zhongyi said coldly: "At that time, there is really no other way. I will take you out of Tianjin, and then set fire to this batch of cloth. Anyway, the Japanese will never be taken advantage of."

Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Liu Hongyu didn't say anything, but just gave Liu Qing a bitter look, and then left angrily.

As soon as Liu Hongyu left, Liu Zhongyi said: "My daughter, the situation our family is facing is very dangerous. Although I have made up my mind as a father that I will never seek refuge with the Japanese, I also know that it is difficult for our family to have a good result, so Weifu intends to let you all leave Tianjin and go to your in-laws to take shelter, and if Weifu gets through this test, you will come back again."

Liu Zhongyi has been in business for many years, so he is naturally not a fool. He knows that if his family goes bankrupt, the family will definitely not want to live in the concession, and because of patriotism, he will never compromise with the Japanese, so he wants his family to leave.

Hearing her father's words, Liu Qing said softly, "Father, there are no difficulties in life. It's great that you don't compromise with the Japanese, so no matter what happens, my daughter will stay in Tianjin and face it with you." .”
