Yun Lian

Chapter 56

"Yao Bainian ordered it." Yun Lian turned blue with anger.

"Yao Bainian!?" Everyone looked at each other.

"What... what does the surname Yao mean by sending people to rob his own goods?"

"In order to kill my prestige... Heh!" Yunlian sneered, "The old man thought the protection fee was too expensive, and hinted at me to lower the price more than once, and I told him that Yunlian was worth the money!"

"Can't afford everything? Don't do it if you don't have money!"

"It's agreed to pay [-]% first, on the premise that there will be no mistakes."

"Who can guarantee that you will play with your life? That's not how business is done!" Ashen said angrily.

"Aside from other things, we have bet on the goods for him over the years, at least thirty or forty times, right? How many times have you missed it?" Chang Shun couldn't help but scold, "It's okay if you think it's too expensive, but it's a big deal and just don't do it. Now, what does it mean to play tricks behind his mother's back!"

"Boss, tell him to hire someone else! Let's grab whoever comes in, and see who dares to do this business!"

"No need. Don't do this business." Yun Lian put away his smile, "Ah Shen! Call Lu Chengzhang and say I want to talk to Luo Liu."

On the same day, Yunlian met Luo Zhanyuan again at Luo Mansion.

The conversation went very well.The other party seemed to have known that Yun Lian would make this decision, and straight to the point, he came out with the plan he had conceived in advance.And Yunlian was familiar with Yao Bainian's delivery location and manpower scale, and after several rounds of discussions, a specific and feasible arrangement was made.

According to the information obtained by Luo Zhanyuan, in the middle of next month, Yao Bainian will have a batch of goods from the north to disembark from the concession wharf.Whenever there is important cargo, Yao Bainian will personally go to the warehouse at the dock to inspect the cargo, but only a few people such as Yun Lian know the delivery location, time and accompanying staff.Luo Zhanyuan had bought people from the police station in advance, and rushed in to arrest them at the beginning of the handover, while Yun Lian took advantage of the chaos to mix the things Luo Zhanyuan gave him into the goods, and then escaped when he saw the opportunity.

"I will send someone to you when the time comes, so you must take it away."

Yun Lian understood.

Although the opium business was illegal in the foreign concessions, the government and businessmen colluded, and it passed by with a blind eye.But there are some things that are absolutely untouchable.The things Luo Zhanyuan wanted to hand over to him must be arms.

"Mr. Luo really assigned me a tricky task." Yun Lian looked into Luo Zhanyuan's eyes with a half-smile, "Let the people in the police station be careful not to accidentally injure my subordinates, otherwise this person will get all the stolen goods." Go in, the Heavenly King and I can't tell!"

"Boss Yun is worried that I will harm you?"

"This is called being defensive."

"Don't worry, I've taken care of Director Zhao. Even if someone gets in, I'll let you out intact." Luo Zhanyuan got up without changing his expression, took out an envelope from the drawer and pushed it in front of Yunlian, "Luo from Don't let your friends be wronged."

Yun Lian opened the envelope and took a quick glance. Inside was a check for 5 yuan.

"Mr. Luo is thorough, so I don't worry." He closed the envelope and put it in his pocket, he grinned and dimpled, "As long as no one deliberately stabs me in the back... the people in the police station can do it again." You can't even catch me."

"Could it be possible that Boss Yun can fly over walls?"

Yun Lian leaned over and lowered his voice half-jokingly: "I said I can fly, do you believe it?"

Luo Zhanyuan stared closely into Yunlian's eyes, and stood up with a loud smile after a long silence.

"Hahahaha... Boss Yun, you and I have known each other not long ago, so it's only natural to have doubts about me. But it's okay, we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future, I believe you will soon appreciate my sincerity."

The matter of Yantu being robbed is nothing.On the surface, Yun Lian and others continued to work for Yao Bainian in an amiable manner. They continued until mid-April, when they finally received news that a batch of important goods from Tanggu had arrived in the foreign concession today.

According to the old rules, Yao Bainian informed Yunlian of the delivery location, time and quantity of the goods in advance, and ordered Yunlian and others to wait at the pier.The ship entered the port in the middle of the night, and after the unloading, Yao Bainian himself inspected the goods at the dock warehouse, and handed them over to Yunlian after confirming that they were correct.

Everything was carried out step by step, but unexpectedly, halfway through the inspection, a large number of policemen suddenly broke into the place, and the visitor claimed that they had received a report that someone was smuggling arms.Yao Bainian was able to deal with it calmly and calmly, but when the other party found two bundles of guns in the cargo box, he finally realized that someone was setting him up, so he accompanied the servants and the police to fight in a hurry, while Yun Lian took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the situation. He started to slip away without a trace.

The matter was reported to the newspaper the next day, causing quite a stir.Yao Bainian not only smuggled arms, but also maliciously resisted arrest and injured police officers. His superiors insisted on heavy sentences.

Yun Lian hid at home with nothing to do with himself, and didn't meet Luo Liu again until a few days later.

The case of arms smuggling has been finalized, and Yao Bainian may never recover.Although the remaining goods on the pier that night were confiscated by the police station, the storefront of Yao's house and the unspent smoke were sucked clean by Yun Lian.The rogue thugs who had been working under Yao Bainian all came to join Yunlian according to the situation, and those tobacco shops, vendors, and mainland tobacco merchants who had been supplying Yao Bainian for a long time also came to find them one after another.

In early May, the founding meeting of the Opium Management Company was held on the first floor of the Kangyuan Building in the French Concession.The two chairman of the company, Luo Zhanyuan and Huang Xingrong, co-chaired the meeting. The French Consul Albon read a congratulatory message in Chinese, and people from all walks of life attended.

At the celebration banquet after the meeting, Luo Zhanyuan brought Yunlian to meet many famous and wealthy businessmen, and they seemed to entrust most of the company's business to him, and even Huang Xingrong praised him very much.Yun Lian stole the limelight, exhausted from listening to the flattering words, finally took advantage of the loophole and slipped out of the banquet hall, when music suddenly sounded from the dance floor next door, and men and women poured over from all directions.

"Sir, do you want to have a dance?" A lady from an unknown house issued an invitation from behind. Yun Lian turned his head and saw two bright red lips. "No, no need..." Vaguely rejecting the invitation, he turned around and fled back to the banquet hall.

After the dinner, Luo Zhanyuan invited Yunlian to the VIP room for tea, and gave him a check for 5 yuan as a thank you gift.

In this way, while Yun Lian made a fortune unscathed, he officially entered the French Concession with one leg.
