Seeing that Li Mu handed the box to him without saying anything, he looked at Li Mu with a big smile and opened the box in his hand.
Hundreds of gold bars appeared in front of Li Mu.
"Sir, I've offended you before. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please be magnanimous and don't hold a grudge against me.”
Li Mu nodded when he saw this.
"Okay, I promise. I won't hold a grudge against you.”
"Bang!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, he shot at Xu Maoquan.
Then, Li Mu put away the gun and lifted the box to look at Shi Gandang.
"Embezzlement and bribery. This is an explanation. Tell that Xu Yun that if he has any objections, he can come to the Military Investigation Department to find me. I don't mind letting him go down to accompany his nephew!”
After saying that, Li Mu patted the box and turned to look at Qin Shi.
"Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to a drink?”
"Oh, oh, let's go. Let's go now."
The two of them walked out.
Shi Gandang saw the two of them leave and collapsed on the chair.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and picked up the phone.
"Ring, ring, ring!"
Xu Yun picked up the call.
"Who are you feeding? What was that? Who dares to touch my nephew? I know. I didn't say anything just now, okay?”
After saying that, Xu Yun hung up the phone and silently lit a cigarette for himself.
......
In a small tavern on South Street, Qin Shi sat across from Li Mu. He respectfully picked up the wine jug and poured a cup for Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled when he saw his rigid look.
"Can you relax a little? Wasn't it as good as the teahouse? If you don't feel uncomfortable, I'll feel uncomfortable looking at you like this.”
Hearing Li Mu's words, Qin Shi plopped down on his chair.
"This, this is what you said."
"Yes, I did."
"Whoosh!"
Qin Shi took a deep breath, wiped his sweat, and hurriedly downed four or five glasses of wine.
"Are you drinking to boost your courage? Are you going to fight a tiger?"
Qin Shi waved his hand.
"I have to drink some first. Otherwise, I'll be nervous looking at you.”
Li Mu laughed and took a sip from his glass.
"Tsk tsk, this wine is really not bad. The fragrance of bamboo leaves wraps around the tip of my tongue, sweet and moist. It's really as you said.”
"That's right. I won't lie to you if I treat you as a friend.”
"Alright, you're loyal enough. You treat me to a drink, and I'll help you fulfill your wish. How about it? Money?"
As Li Mu spoke, he placed a box of gold bars in front of Qin Shi.
"Yours!"
Qin Shi's eyes lit up when he saw the gold bars, but he closed the box reluctantly.
"I suddenly feel like I'm looking down on myself.”
As he spoke, Qin Shi touched the box.
"Teacher, do you know what I despise the most about myself?”
As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine.
" I've never accepted black money in my life. Now that I see these gold bars, I, I…"
As he spoke, he pursed his lips and suddenly sobbed.
"I've never seen so much money in my life. You know, I thought that I would have so much or even more, but I never thought that when I saw this dirty money, I, I was actually tempted!”
Li Mu didn't say anything. He quietly raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
"I, I want to kill the Japanese!"
"Alright, I'll give you a chance. From now on, you're mine, and I'll be your backer!”
As he spoke, Li Mu kicked him.
"Big man, don't cry. Where's your ruffian spirit?”
"I, I'm just happy."
Qin Shi wiped his tears as he spoke.
"Alright, let me ask you. With your personality, you should have many friends from all walks of life, right? I mean the reliable kind."
Qin Shi nodded proudly.
"Of course I do. Although I'm poor and my position isn't high, I don't have many other things, but I have many friends.”
"Alright, then go and do something for me.”
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Qin Shi patted his chest.
"No problem, brother."
"Reading the newspaper."
" What?" Li Mu said with certainty. Then, Qin Shi's face was filled with disbelief.
"Read, read the newspaper?"
"Yes."
As he spoke, Li Mu took out the portrait of the child.
"I've been catching a Japanese spy recently. I don't have much clues. I only know that he likes to use this child as a picture when he occasionally publish articles in the newspaper.”
"Don't worry, brother. Leave it to me. I promise to bring him to you.”
Upon hearing this, Li Mu smiled and waved his hand. He didn't mind Qin Shi calling him brother. On the contrary, he felt very close to him.
"It's not that simple. I don't need you to arrest him. I just need you to arrange for reliable people to go through the past issues of the hundreds of newspapers in the capital and find out which newspaper published it. That's enough. Leave the rest to me. Remember, you must not act on your own, or else it will ruin the big plan.”
Qin Shi immediately nodded when he heard Li Mu's words.
"Brother, don't worry. I won't act on my own. In the future, if you say go east, I won't go west.”
Upon hearing this, Li Mu raised his glass in satisfaction and clinked it with Qin Shi.
P.S.: As the magnanimous Will Turn White, I've kept my word and typed through the night. It's now five in the morning, and I'm going to sleep now. I hope everyone can support the monthly votes. As the magnanimous me, even if you don't give it to me, I'll at most give you a shot. Hahahahaha, I'm done playing around. Go to sleep. When I wake up, I'll continue typing crazily.
Oh right, I forgot to mention that I don't know if it's good or not. If it's good, can you mention it in the book review section? It will give me more confidence to write a story that all of you will like! Thank you, everyone!
