Chapter 6 Quick Wisdom
Chapter 6 Quick Wisdom
Lin Ruotang retreated in panic, walked into a tailor shop, bought a package of things, and then walked into a hotel.
Xie Wuwei didn't know what Lin Ruotang was doing, he just observed downstairs. If anything went wrong, he would find a suitable opportunity to take Lin Ruotang away.
When Lin Ruotang appeared again, she was a pregnant woman with a big belly. The handbag in her hand was replaced by a bundle, and she wore a gauze scarf on her head.
She walked to the checkpoint, and the agent opened the bag, took a quick look, and then looked at Lin Ruotang.
Lin Ruotang was breathing rapidly and her heart was beating so fast that she could even hear her own heartbeat.
The spy waved his hand, and she immediately walked forward with the bag.
Lin Ruotang walked for a while, then paused and looked back, worried that someone was following her.
She looked around and noticed a student with his hat pulled down low, and she immediately became suspicious.
Looking at the bus next to her, Lin Ruotang took a step forward, her posture agile, not like a pregnant woman.
Lin Ruotang was always nervous. After arriving home, she immediately took off her fake belly and took out a bag full of white money.
When she saw the search just now, an idea came to her mind.
She first went to the cloth store to buy a bag and cotton, put the money in the bag, fastened it to her belly, and walked out swaggeringly.
On this side, Xie Wuwei also found the "carrier pigeon" and told Lin Ruotang about his disguise this time.
Bai Zhu stood up and looked at the crowd outside the window with a smile on his face.
“She’s really talented.”
"But she was really timid. When she was being questioned, I could hear her rapid breathing through two people."
Although Xie Wuwei said this, he was still very satisfied with Lin Ruotang's performance this time, but he thought that Lin Ruotang did not have excellent psychological quality.
"She found you after all."
Xie Wuwei had nothing to say after hearing what Bai Zhu said. After all, Lin Ruotang just took a look and hurriedly got on the bus, which showed that she had discovered that someone was following her.
"Train her slowly, and explain our policies and ideological guidance to her."
After Bai Zhu finished speaking, Xie Wuwei nodded. Since Lin Ruotang had met him, he must make her his own, otherwise it would be a big trouble for the lurking Xie Wuwei.
"I understand. According to her, her parents are teachers, she's a high school student, and she knows several foreign languages."
Bai Zhu knew what Xie Wuwei meant. There weren't many girls studying these days, and many spies were high-level intellectuals. He immediately said:
"I will notify the people back home to verify her identity."
After Xie Wuwei left, he returned to the casino. As soon as he entered, he met the second in command, Song Wei.
As soon as Xie Wuwei entered the casino, he saw a group of people standing in the room. Song Wei was sitting in the middle, with his legs on the coffee table, holding a dagger in his hand, and a person lying at his feet.
Xie Wuwei's eyes changed, his mouth turned up slightly, and there was a playful look on his face.
"Hey, Second Master, what's going on with all this noise?"
Song Wei put down the dagger and kicked away the man with a bruised face.
"This bastard stabbed me in the back!"
"Snapped!"
The dagger was stuck in the man on the ground. The man twitched and died. Song Wei waved his hand impatiently.
"Throw it into the river!"
After his men carried the man away, Song Wei thought of something and immediately sat up, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"There's something wrong with you lately. I haven't seen you around much lately. What have you been up to?"
Seeing that Song Wei doubted him, Xie Wuwei did not rush to answer, but picked up a cigarette and lit it.
"What else can he do? He's going to keep a woman. We all know it. The loudmouth driver, Old Liu, said that Brother Xie went to pick up a woman and keep her!"
Before Xie Wuwei could say anything, his younger brother Cheng Wang jumped out and spoke.
Cheng Wang almost died in a gunfight, and it was Xie Wuwei who sent him to the hospital and saved his life. If Xie Wuwei told him to go west, he would definitely not go east.
Xie Wuwei had a light smile on his face, neither denying nor admitting it, but instead kicked Cheng Wang's butt.
"You're the only one who talks too much."
Song Wei finally let down his guard. It seemed that he was going there to keep a woman, not to ask the boss to invite him. That was good.
The gap between him and the boss gradually deepened, and the two gradually became suspicious of each other. The boss suspected that Song Wei wanted to replace him, and Song Wei was worried that the boss would spy on the casino in his hands.
Song Wei was even more worried that Xie Wuwei would turn to the boss. After all, Xie Wuwei was a man of both martial arts and literary talents, and he could hold his own at the critical moment.
Cheng Wang touched his butt, stood behind Xie Wuwei with a smile, and said nothing more.
Old Liu said that Brother Xie gave him money to treat his mother's illness. Everyone said that Xie Wuwei was loyal and a good man.
When Brother Xie and the second-in-command Song Wei were being chased, it was Lao Liu who saved them a ride. Only Brother Xie remembered Lao Liu and often helped him. Song Wei had even forgotten that Lao Liu existed.
"Well, you kid, you actually keep a woman. No wonder you look down on those women in the dance hall."
Hearing Song Wei's teasing, Xie Wuwei put out his cigarette, as if he couldn't see that Song Wei had doubted him just now.
"We're in love, but there's nothing I can do. I have to support my family in the future..."
Seeing this, Song Wei immediately smiled and said to him:
"See? Brother Xie has to support his family. Pay him back the money he borrowed!"
Everyone looked unhappy. Xie Wuwei didn't say anything, but Song Wei rushed to ask them to pay back the money.
Song Wei was very satisfied with Xie Wuwei, but there was one thing: Xie Wuwei often lent money to his subordinates, and Song Wei himself was very stingy, which led to his prestige in the hearts of his subordinates gradually declining.
To be honest, everyone thinks that following Song Wei is boring. He makes so much money, but his subordinates can't even get enough to eat.
Although the boss is not as powerful as Song Wei, he is generous and will give money to help any of his younger brothers if something happens in their family.
If it weren't for Xie Wuwei's loyalty and his continued support for Song Wei, those younger brothers would have probably run to the boss's side long ago.
Song Wei didn't realize that he had lost the support of the people, and was still trying to find a way to find something to hurt Xie Wuwei.
He thought that Xie Wuwei had a woman. Given Xie Wuwei's sentimental character, if he could control that woman, he would be controlling Xie Wuwei.
Now he wants to change his job to another place, which is in need of manpower, and maybe he can even get a job as an official.
Then we’ll see how the leader of the Black Dragon Gang fights him. Maybe the entire Black Dragon Gang will be his.
When Xie Wuwei saw Song Wei turning the dagger, he knew that he was up to something bad again.
After the group disbanded, Xie Wuwei returned to Nanhua Lane.
Seeing Xie Wuwei washing and brushing, but not asking about today's situation, Lin Ruotang couldn't help but speak:
"Why didn't you ask me if I brought the money back?"
Lin Ruotang excitedly talked about what happened today. Xie Wuwei did not interrupt her. He knew that Lin Ruotang was timid and was probably still scared.
"You did a great job. You worked hard. You helped us a lot this time."
Xie Wuwei's few words made Lin Ruotang very happy. There was nothing more joyful than being recognized.
Seeing Lin Ruotang's expression of joy and anger, Xie Wuwei didn't know whether it was right or wrong to pull her in. Lin Ruotang was still too naive.
Lin Ruotang took out the money, Xie Wuwei simply counted it, and immediately wrapped it up. He took out a stack of French currency from his pocket,
"Take this money and arrange your living expenses yourself."
Lin Ruotang counted and found that there were actually 1,200 French francs, so he didn't refuse.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything here costs money except breathing.
She understood that Xie Wuwei was in a gray area and must have plenty of money, so she naturally accepted the money without hesitation. After all, he had to eat the food she cooked.
As for clothes, Xie Wuwei didn't let Lin Ruotang wash his clothes.
Every time Lin Ruotang saw Xie Wuwei washing clothes with a cigarette in his mouth in a ruffian-like manner, there was always an inexplicable contrast.
In the evening, Xie Wuwei sent the money out, but Lin Ruotang didn't know where he sent it.
The next day, Lin Ruotang cooked porridge and just came back from buying buns. Seeing Xie Wuwei was about to go out, she immediately called him,
"Eat your meal first."
Xie Wuwei was stunned. He hadn't eaten at home for a long time. He almost always ate out here and there.
Lin Ruotang picked up her chopsticks and sat at the table. Seeing Xie Wuwei eating breakfast, she thought that Xie Wuwei would be more likely to get money if he met people from all walks of life. She asked carefully:
"I want to ask you a favor. Could you please exchange all these fiat currencies for dollars?"
Xie Wuwei took the money and looked at Lin Ruotang deeply. Although this man was timid, he was extremely perceptive. He took out a cigarette and lit it.
"The legal tender is becoming less and less valuable. The dollar is indeed better. I will bring some back later."
After he finished speaking, he went to the casino, strolled around inside, and found an acquaintance to exchange the French currency for British dollars.
"Brother Xie, you didn't care about money before, but now you've changed it into dollars?"
Cheng Wang surrounded Xie Wuwei and lit a cigarette for him.
Xie Wuwei blew out a puff of smoke and said lazily:
"Women care about things, otherwise I wouldn't bother changing."
"Wow, it seems my sister-in-law is amazing. It hasn't been long since she started managing Brother Xie's money."
Cheng Wang was very curious. After all, Xie Wuwei was good-looking, and many people in the dance hall wanted to hook up with him.
Xie Wuwei looked down on them and didn't like any of them. Even the decent girls looked down on these little hooligans.
Xie Wuwei waved his hand, obviously not wanting to talk about this matter. Cheng Wang immediately changed the subject.
"Xie Ge, something big happened..."
