Chapter 942: I Must Squeeze You to Death
Gangcun looked at Ruth for a long moment, then narrowed his eyes. "That's a different price. If the price is right, I can still participate."
Sure enough, Ruth believed it.
These people in the 4th Division will sell anything, including their conscience, as long as the price is right.
"Tian Jing, send him to Du Xun and give him something as well." Zhou Weiguo glanced at Gangcun after saying this. "Let's have dinner together tonight."
George was at work and not at the villa, but Alice was.
In other words, she has been here these days because she is waiting for Zhou Weiguo and others.
The location of this villa is a bit remote, but it is well built, so Zhou Weiguo and his group will not arouse suspicion when they come here.
After entering the villa, Zhou Weiguo took a sip of tea and pointed to a small backpack. "Alice, that's yours. Congratulations! From today on, you don't have to look at anyone's face anymore. You are rich now."
Alice didn't look at the things. Sir George had said that even if Zhou Weiguo and his gang were wicked, their kindness to their friends was genuine. Although the money inside was allocated according to calculations, it would only increase, never decrease. So, there was no need for her to look. Instead, after serving tea to the others, she said, "General, something has happened."
Zhou Weiguo took a sip of tea. "The news has been suppressed, right?"
Alice nodded. "Yes, Edward suppressed the news. We don't know why yet, but he intends to let your city shoulder the responsibility."
Ha ha……
Zhou Weiguo smiled. "I didn't realize Edward had a knack for humor. His homeland allocated the area north of Mandalay to our Mountain City for our assistance, and he actually wants us to take the blame. He's truly adorable. What the hell did this guy eat?"
"Black bread." Ruth laughed beside her.
Takeshita Shun leaned against the doorway with his arms folded, as was his habit. He lit a cigarette and said, "Whether he eats shit or black bread, he won't succeed. But what I want to say is that once this matter is suppressed, then, Old Zhou, your future actions over there will be greatly reduced, and you won't even be able to arouse hatred between us."
"We absolutely cannot let this matter be covered up. However, we still need to first figure out the significance of Edward's actions. Only after we figure this out can we move on to the next step."
Zhou Weiguo decided to hold a small meeting temporarily, and the participants were those present.
George came back before the meeting was over.
He looked at the people sitting around on the chairs, then at the backpack casually placed on the ground not far away. He put his briefcase down, pulled over a stool and joined them, then asked, "What are you discussing so seriously?"
Tian Jing had already sent the person to Du Xun. Seeing that no one spoke, she told him what they were discussing.
"Is that so?" George said, taking a cigarette from the table. "I've figured out what Edward means. His idea is simple: to prevent the situation from escalating. In our terms, that's called appeasement, but in your terms, it's called saving the country through a roundabout way."
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "I understand. Edward wants to keep this matter secret so as to reduce the conflict between the two sides. This way, there will be fewer attacks from the Japanese army."
"I have to say, his considerations do make sense, but we can't let them succeed on this matter. Spend some money and release this news." Zhou Weiguo glanced at George; "This matter shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"Of course it's not difficult, but it is very likely that I will be exposed. You don't want me to be exposed, right?" There is no problem for George to find someone, but the problem is that if the matter is investigated further, it is very likely that he will be found, and then he will be finished.
Zhou Weiguo tapped the card on the desk and looked at the people present. "Except for Ruth, everyone else, use your skills and let the Delhi people know as quickly as possible that the money in the Delhi Imperial Bank has been robbed. Also, tell them that it was the Japanese who did it. I want to see if Edward can keep this secret."
Several people nodded, but George next to them screamed and covered his face.
The old man's tearless crying made Zhou Weiguo frown and ask, "What are you yelling about?"
George loosened his hands; "You are trying to kill me."
"What do you mean?" Ruth looked at George in confusion. "You're our friend. Even if we were to betray anyone, we wouldn't betray you. After all, if you're alive, you can give us more valuable intelligence. How could we possibly let you die?"
"If I have to die, I'd better squeeze him dry before I die." Shigeru Miyamoto chuckled beside him.
George's face changed drastically. Takeshita Shun raised his hand and gently patted Miyamoto Shigeru. "What are you talking about? How can you say that to someone who eats in the trenches?"
hum...
George could only snort in his heart. He believed that the people who were eating in the trench that Takeshita Shun mentioned definitely did not include himself. If something really happened, these people would definitely throw him out quickly.
Zhou Weiguo probably understood what George was worried about. He thought for a moment and said, "George, this isn't a bad thing for you."
what……
George looked at Zhou Weiguo, and these words made him feel a little nervous.
He felt that Zhou Weiguo was still unclear about the current situation. "Brother Zhou, my situation is different from yours. I'm the deputy governor. If this matter isn't handled properly, Edward will be held accountable, and as the deputy governor, I might be pushed into this position. You know, these are turbulent times. If he leaves, then I..."
Zhou Weiguo folded his arms, looked at him, and smiled, "There's nothing wrong with you going up there."
"Okay." George pointed at himself and said after a long while, "You're going too far. This is not good at all. I will become a sinner."
Zhou Weiguo just stared at George silently. George's voice gradually lowered after seeing this look. Finally, he coughed and said, "I admit, I am indeed a sinner. Ever since I followed you, I have ceased to be truly loyal to my empire. But between this veiled betrayal and the open betrayal, and becoming a sinner, I still prefer the veiled betrayal. At least I appear to be presenting myself well, and I am still contributing to the empire. But if I were in that position, I would have nothing."
Takeshita Shun sighed and looked at George, who looked depressed, for a while before asking in confusion, "I don't understand. What are you afraid of?"
