Chapter 508 I Care
Wang Meng did not comment. The Henan-Hunan-Guangxi Campaign started ahead of schedule, which was a mixed blessing for Wang Meng and the Independent Column.
The good news is that the independent column has made preparations in advance and has begun to expand its army. Moreover, with the strength of the First War Zone, it is probably difficult to resist the attack of the Japanese, so the independent column can enter Henan Province naturally.
In addition, the Japanese troops were gradually transferred to Hunan and Guangxi, and they would have no time to take care of the activities of the independent column in Henan and Shandong provinces. This was equivalent to letting the Central Army share part of the firepower.
What worries me is that there is no good news from Louis, the United States, and the troops have not been "borrowed". Moreover, once the Central Army learns that the Japanese are going to launch the "Henan, Hunan and Guangxi War", will it release the troops in its hands? Naturally, there is another question mark.
Therefore, Wang Meng now has to do two things. First, he must immediately confirm whether the "Henan, Hunan and Guangxi" campaign will really be launched within three months. Second, he must urge Louis to complete the "borrowing of troops"!
Wang Meng, who was lost in thought, was finally interrupted by Monk Wei.
"Boss Wang, the two bosses are asking you a question!"
Wang Meng shuddered, then he brought the wine glass to his mouth and took a sip absentmindedly.
"Alas, the world is not good now! Is there any way for people to survive?"
"Well, let's have a toast. Our most urgent task now is to chisel down this mural and make some money. Even if we don't make any money in the future, this deal will at least allow us to live comfortably for a few years, right?"
Wang Meng's face was filled with disgust as he looked at Yue Bin, who was still thinking of making a fortune by reselling cultural relics.
"Boss Yue, let's ask one question: is it necessary to chisel away this mural?"
Yue Bin and Ma Longtu were shocked by Wang Meng's sudden and cold question.
"This... Boss Wang, what do you mean by this? We are in this business. If we don't carve the murals, are we going to starve to death?"
"That's right, Boss Wang, didn't we agree on this? You are responsible for providing the men and the guns, and we will cooperate."
Wang Meng winked at Monk Wei, and then Monk Wei threw the cup.
"Hey, don't be so angry, Boss Wang. Even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still friendship! Don't throw the cup!"
"What do you mean by breaking the cup? I am breaking the cup as a signal!"
Monk Wei had just finished mocking them for being uneducated when six soldiers rushed in with guns in hand.
"Behave yourself! If you move, don't blame us for being blind!"
Ma Longtu and Yue Bin were so shocked by the sudden change that they were speechless for a long time.
Finally, Yue Bin was the first to react and was furious.
"Ma Longzi, what do you want to do!"
Ma Longtu looked helpless and spread his hands. Although he knew that Wang Meng and his group were not easy to deal with, he didn't expect that they would turn against him so easily.
"I don't know, this..."
"What's this? Isn't this your good brother? How come you don't know yet?"
Ma Longtu can’t clear himself of the blame even if he jumps into the Yellow River. He will definitely take the blame!
Ma Longtu frowned and turned to look at Wang Meng with a pleading look on his face.
"Brother Wang, is this a misunderstanding? Let's talk it out. This business is not a one-time deal. Even if you rob Boss Yue, you won't get much money. Why don't we cooperate and make a fortune in the long run!"
Wang Meng snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows at Monk Wei.
Monk Wei wiped the grease from his mouth, then he touched Yue Bin all over and took out a bunch of jade pendants, rings and a piece of paper.
Wang Meng took the paper, and the more he looked at it, the angrier he became, and he slammed the table hard.
"Yue Bin, you sold the mural to foreigners for 14,000 dollars. Just for this, I think it's not too much to kill you, right?"
When Ma Longtu heard the price of 14,000 oceans, his eyes widened!
"Mr. Yue, you took 14,000 yuan and only gave me 2,000 yuan? And you told me you were losing money!"
Yue Bin didn't have time to deal with Ma Longtu. He had realized that Wang Meng and his gang were planning to rob each other.
"I admit defeat. How much money can I pay to survive?"
"How much did you bring?"
Yue Bin took off all the rings on his hands and the jade Buddha on his neck. Together with the ones that Monk Wei had found, there were at least seven or eight items in total.
"Ancient jade from the Warring States period is priceless! The others are worth at least tens of thousands of dollars!"
"That's all? It's not enough!"
Yue Bin gritted his teeth and pointed underground.
"I have some friends out there, and they brought me a lot of gold. Is that enough?"
Wang Meng winked at Monk Wei, and Yue Bin was brought to the window, slightly opened a crack, and then pointed to a carriage.
Monk Wei quickly went downstairs with two soldiers, and then directly sent the guy and the carriage out of the city.
Monk Wei went upstairs and nodded to Wang Meng.
"Boss Yue, we have accepted the money for your life, but compared to the crime you committed, this amount of money is really not enough! Do you know that in a few years, we Chinese will have to go to Country M to see the sadness of these murals! It would not be a pity if you died ten thousand times!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he picked up a piece of paper and asked the soldier to write down Yue Bin’s crimes, and then looked at Yue Bin, who was shivering all over.
"On behalf of the Chinese people, I sentence you to death. If you refuse to obey, you can turn into a wandering ghost and come to me to claim your life! I am Wang Meng, the chief of staff of the Independent Column!"
"I'm Wei Dayong!"
When Yue Bin heard that it was the Independent Column, he knew that he was finished.
If it was the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, or even the Japanese, he would still have a chance of survival, but if he encountered the Independent Column, there would be no way out and he could only wait to die!
"Chief of Staff Wang, right? I know I'm doomed today. Ever since I started this business, I knew I wouldn't have a good ending. Dying at the hands of your independent column is a happy ending, right?
But I have a question, please let me know!"
Wang Meng looked at Yue Bin who seemed calm. Compared with those dying people, he still had some grace, so he waved his hand.
"Say it!"
Yue Bin picked up a pot of wine, tilted his head back to drink it, then wiped his mouth.
"I just want to ask a question. The Chinese people can't even protect their lives, can't eat enough, and can't wear warm clothes. Does anyone still care about this lofty Buddha statue? Also, you stopped me, but can you stop the millions of Chinese people who are greedy for money?"
Wang Meng thought for a while and then sat down.
“You asked two questions, but I will answer you out of mercy.
If you ask who cares, I can answer you, I care!
Are you asking me if I can stop the thieves who come next? I can tell you responsibly that if anyone dares to touch those Buddha statues and murals next time, I will do the same to him as he did to them!"
