Chapter 164: Rising Fame [4000]

"Have you caught it?"

"Caught."

"What about people?"

"Look down."

"What's up with him?"

"Both his legs are gone, and his knees were shot. If I don't help him, he won't even be able to get out of the jungle behind him. He will definitely die."

On a straw mat woven with rattan, Xie Laohu was lying like a toad, humming from time to time to prove that he was still alive. His legs were gone from the knees down. During the four or five days of the return journey, he had suffered multiple infections. In the absence of medical care and medicine, Gong Pingan had to help him treat it and re-apply medicine and simple bandages to him.

The tracking lasted four or five days, and the return journey lasted four or five days, a total of nine days. With a rattan stick on his wrist and dragging a straw mat woven with rattan on the ground, Gong Ping'an finally walked out of the devil's jungle behind him.

Arrived at the place agreed with my future father-in-law.

Old Wei opened the door of the Santana and got out of the car. He saw Gong Pingan walking down the mountain and a rattan mat dragged behind him. The person on the mat could probably still be considered a human being!

awful!
It's too awful.

What kind of hellish place is this that could make people so miserable?

In fact, Lao Wei was also very interested in the Devil's Jungle ahead. He heard that this mountain was the entrance for the Expeditionary Force to march into the South Asian continent and the place where fierce fighting with the Japanese occurred.

There are still many oddities in this place.

There are also many treasure legends left behind.

The simplest danger is that both sides had buried many mines and laid minefields in this primitive jungle. After the war, due to the special geographical location, there are still some minefields here that have not been cleared. From time to time, there are news reports that local "savages", illegal immigrants, and wild beasts in the mountains accidentally touched mines and were killed.

Old Wei knew very well that the reason why this prospective son-in-law followed him was because he didn't want to put himself in danger.

Just relying on my own ability.

If he really went in, with this 100-80 kg person, there is a high possibility that he would be lost in there.

So, he was left alone, staying inside the border outside the Devil's Jungle, guarding this borrowed Santana sedan.

Waiting for good news from the future son-in-law who used to be a soldier.

This wait lasted more than a week.

Gong Ping'an did not disappoint him. He really came out and successfully captured the person. However, the ending was a little different from what he had imagined.

"What about the rest?"

He remembered this Xie Lao Hu, and he had a team of bodyguards.

I’m afraid there are quite a few people.

"All dead."

Gong Pingan answered simply.

"Oh, he's dead."

Old Wei nodded subconsciously, then suddenly reacted, opened his mouth in surprise, looked at the calm future son-in-law in front of him and said, "They are all dead. How did you deal with so many people?"

But he soon realized that he had asked a very stupid question.

Those bodyguards, it doesn’t matter if they die, they are just minor characters.

And if he didn't die, given that those guys were now fully armed, no matter how powerful his future son-in-law was, how could he easily capture Xie Lao Hu?

So I suppressed my curiosity.

He went forward to check Xie Lao Hu's injuries and confirmed that he would not die for a while. It should still be in time to send him to the nearest large hospital.

He then called his future son-in-law and moved him into the car first.

Finished a busy day.

Wait until both of them got in the car.

Old Wei then said earnestly, "After all, you are not an active soldier now, so you should restrain your killing intent in the future. This time we are helping to capture criminals, and it is across borders. Those guys did not die in our country, and their bodies are probably eaten by wild beasts. When we go back, we will just pretend that nothing happened. But if you follow Lu Yang in the future and meet an enemy, and he asks you to take action, you can't kill people at will. My daughter is still young, and I don't want her to become a widow at such a young age."

This is wise advice for state affairs.

Gong Pingan nodded: "I'll try my best."

Lao Wei sighed, "Alas, I don't know whether it was right or wrong to introduce you to that boy. You are so stubborn. I can only hope that he won't use you as a tool in the future."

He felt uncomfortable with his future son-in-law's perfunctory attitude.

But it's too late to say anything now.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have eaten his food and should be grateful to those who have received his gifts. Lu Yang is too generous. I am still driving his car. It would be bad to be the bad guy and stop my son-in-law from being his bodyguard.

Besides, there may not be a day when I will need to risk my life.

"Let's go, drive faster and take Xie Lao Hu to the nearest hospital to get his wounds bandaged and cleaned. Then we'll rush back overnight. I'm afraid your boss will be anxious, after all, the business is only opening in the next few days. Without this car, his worth won't show up."

After Gong Ping'an started the car, Lao Wei said with a half-joking smile.

In general, apart from worrying about my daughter becoming a widow in the future.

This capture mission was completed exceptionally smoothly.

It also allowed him to finally accomplish a great feat.

Happy, for sure.

Gong Pingan held the steering wheel with both hands, staring forward, and after a little thought, he said, "It shouldn't be. He told me to drive hard. It's broken. I just happened to buy a better Mercedes-Benz. I kind of dislike this car."

Lao Wei was completely speechless.

They are just being polite, son-in-law, you don't take it seriously, do you?

I really want to teach him a lesson.

Considering that his son-in-law had just done a great job for him, and there was an extra "quasi" in front of it, he decided to give up.

Let my eldest daughter teach in the future.

The eldest daughter is so smart, she can always teach him to be smarter and not be so straightforward and naive.

Three days and two nights.

The Santana traveled from the southwestern border to the inland of Hunan Province, and then stopped at the county people's hospital.

When being lifted out of the car.

And safely lifted onto the stretcher.

Tears welled up in Xie Laohu's eyes. He felt wronged and wanted to cry loudly, but he had no strength left. He was so weak that he could only rely on saline solution to survive. God knows how he managed to survive along the way, and how many times he was on the verge of life and death.

And these two bastards actually think I'm too noisy.

It hurts, okay?
Both of her feet were cut off, and she wasn't even given anesthesia. Who wouldn't feel pain?

But just because he grunted a few more times in the car, these two bastards stuffed him into the trunk, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, and made him spend three days and two nights in darkness, and he almost died.

"Thin."

"He has lost weight." "Poor thing, you should send him to the doctor first. He doesn't even have legs this time, so he probably can't run anymore."

Lu Yang and Zheng Aiguo and his wife all received the news early and were waiting outside the hospital.

But Lu Yang just took a look.

It was thanks to the fact that he was the owner of the Santana and Lao Wei needed to return his car that he was able to see up close how miserable Xie Lao Hu, who was so arrogant a few months ago, was. Both of his legs were missing below the knees. It was said that the glass cover was shattered by a submachine gun at close range. It was so miserable that even his bones were exposed and he was carried out of the car.

Lu Yang watched such a good show.

It’s so satisfying.

After all, Xie Lao Hu had planned to take advantage of me at the beginning. If Ping An had not arrived in time, and Zheng Suo and Lao Wei had not been there, I would have been easily taken advantage of by the other party.

He felt relieved because the other party was in such a miserable state.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!!!"

"It seems that you can't break the law no matter what you do. Don't try, or you will be caught."

"Ping An, let's drive. Let's go to the county investment promotion office."

What a coincidence.

Tomorrow is the opening day of the free wholesale market that the county has been preparing for a year.

Lu Yang is a big businessman, so he has to come one day in advance to say hello to the people from the county investment promotion office and discuss the specific arrangements for tomorrow's activities.

Arrived at the end of the field.

Looking from afar, it was indeed very busy. The Qingshui Yamen, which was previously crowded with people, was now crowded with people. There was no need to guess. They were probably private merchants with the same status as him who had bought stalls in the free wholesale market that would open tomorrow.

"I heard that a leader will come tomorrow. I wonder who this leader is?"

"Wouldn't it be easy to find out if we ask around? The people from the investment promotion office were able to keep it a secret before. Why are they trying to be so mysterious? Now it's the last day, is there any need to keep it a secret from us?"

"Yes, we have invested real money in this stall. Whether it is from the city or the province, if there are leaders coming to investigate, we should have the right to know, right?"

"Screw the right to know. I just want to shake hands with the leaders and take a photo. I even borrowed a camera. It's a big help."

"Bah, I think you want to take this opportunity to take a photo with the leader so that you can use it to brag about your status in the future. No, you have to lend me two photos, or I will report you."

“Get lost…Who are you? Why should I lend it to you?”

"Stop arguing, there's a car coming. Oh my goodness, I know that car. It's Lu Baiwan's car, the God of Wealth in our county. Everyone, make way and let Boss Lu go in first."

Those present were all private business owners who sold small commodities.

In terms of financial resources, I'm afraid no one can compare to Lu Yang.

Especially when Lu Yang promised, which had already been printed on the promotional leaflet, that in the first three days of the opening, the Meisite Garment Factory would launch at least 100,000 sets of clothes at an ultra-low price of two yuan per set, so that people throughout the county could buy a set of cheap summer clothes with the promotional poster, this generosity and financial strength made those small commodity dealers present have to admire him.

The nickname Lu Baiwan became popular from this.

Get out of the car.

It was also the first time that Lu Yang heard someone call him that.

To be honest, it’s pretty cool.

After his rebirth, Lu Yang followed Yang Baiwan's example and resold treasury bonds. After going around in circles for half a year, the boomerang finally backfired on him.

At least, it proves one thing, that he learned it successfully, doesn't it?
Next, it’s time to go your own way.

"Boss Lu, I sell zippers. You should be making winter clothes in the second half of the year, right? If you need anything, Boss Lu, you must come to me. My stall is right next to the one you bought. We are neighbors. I will try to give you a cheaper price. Boss Lu, give me a chance."

"Boss Lu, I'm Lao Tian who sells buttons. Many of the buttons on the clothes in your factory are bought from me. Boss Lu, do you still remember me? I'm so glad to see you, Boss Lu."

"Boss Lu, I'm Lao Liu who sells thread. Lao Liu, the fat guy with the small eyes, we've met before. Thirty percent of the thread in your factory is provided by me, Lao Liu. Come, Boss Lu, let's shake hands. Let's take a photo."

"Boss Lu, I'm a wholesaler of small hardware, hammers, scissors, rulers..."

"Boss Lu, I'm a wholesaler of rubber bands..."

"Boss Lu, I'm in the embroidery business. Do you need some patterns and trademarks embroidered on your clothes?"

"Boss Lu, I'm also in the button business. Give me a chance. I guarantee the quality is better than Lao Tian's."

"roll……"

The scene was in chaos, but everyone was very enthusiastic. When they saw Lu Yang, it was like seeing their own father.

At first, Lu Yang didn't quite understand.

But after listening to a few sentences, I soon understood.

The vast majority of people who trade in these small commodities are closely related to their own industries.

Making clothes requires more than just fabrics, there are many other aspects involved.

Small hardware, such as scissors and zippers.

Plastics, such as buttons and packaging bags.

Textiles, for example: basic threads and rubber bands.

All of these are indispensable.

They all belong to their own upstream manufacturers.

Well, it turns out that I have become so powerful without realizing it, and there are so many small private factories that have to rely on me for survival.

"Boss Lu is here, please come in quickly, we are waiting for you."

Because too many people came.

Previously, the Investment Promotion Department specially seconded several comrades from the police station to stand guard.

Only those whose names are called are eligible to enter. Otherwise, if hundreds of families were to squeeze in at the same time, wouldn’t this small investment promotion office be packed to the brim?

But when Lu Yang came, the difference was immediately apparent.

Yin Zhuangzhuang's fourth brother-in-law heard the noise outside the door. The young man had grown a lot in the past few months, so he immediately went to report to his superior, Section Chief Jia. Section Chief Jia immediately put down his work and went to report to his superior, Director Du. Director Du was a middle-aged woman, but she was the real head of the investment promotion office.

I heard that the young man who dared to make a bold statement that he would give benefits to the people of the entire county three days before the opening and was prepared to sell 30 sets of clothes at a loss came.

He also immediately put down the work in his hands.

Get ready to meet this young and generous guy.

Let’s see who this person is.
After the two sides met and shook hands, Lu Yang went straight to the point: "To be honest with you two leaders, my purpose for coming here today is different from that of these people outside the door. They want to meet the big leaders and get information. I came to you two to ask for a favor. Can you please give me the key to the market one day in advance so that I can ship some clothes from the factory in advance?"

have to say.

Lu Yang's request surprised them a little.

Originally, they thought that Lu Yang was also trying to see if he could use the relationships with these local small leaders to make advance arrangements so that he could get close to the big leaders who were coming down from above to conduct research tomorrow.

"This……"

“Wouldn’t that be a bit against the rules?”
