Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 231 The Russians are very greedy

"So, you knew everything about what she did with that Russian military attaché? Did you turn a blind eye and ignore them because you wanted to get more from them?"

Otherwise, people would say that Ximen Lang has no political brains at all.

This was something that everyone knew and was not something that could be made public, but he actually said it out loud in front of everyone.

"You're the only one who's smart? Huh? Are you the only one who's smart? The rest of us are blind, we're all fools, we can't see it?"

After a scolding full of disgust, Ximen Lang finally shut up when he realized that something was wrong.

At the same time, it also made Chen Xueru even more frightened.

After being directly exposed by Ximen Lang, Chen Xueru understood. Now, she understood everything.

No wonder I prepared many expensive gifts but never gave them away.

No wonder the neighborhood committees and street offices, which were obviously more professional than each other during the war and were basically all composed of intelligence personnel, behaved so unprofessionally and stupidly, and no one noticed it for so long.

It turns out that everything I did was under their eyes and nothing could escape their detection!

It’s funny that I thought they were a bit stupid before, but it turns out that I’m the clown!
this.
And how to transport it, and there has been no setbacks so far. It was so smooth that she once felt that it was a bit abnormal smuggling channel.

No wonder it hasn't been discovered until now.
Maybe they are the ones helping behind the scenes!

Even the border guards are our own people, how could this not go smoothly?!

Thinking that there were so many eyes watching her where she couldn't see.
A chill came directly from the top of his head.

With a thud, Chen Xueru, whose hands and feet felt cold, felt her legs and feet go limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that this guy finally got scared, Bai Ling said bluntly.

"Are you scared now? Why weren't you afraid when you were smuggling large quantities of supplies with the Russian military attachés and counting the black money? Now you regret it. Let me ask you, what were you doing before?"

Bai Ling continued, feeling that this level was not enough to touch the depths of Chen Xueru's greedy soul.

"Remember the former public manager of the tavern, Fan Jinyou? He falsely accused Manager Xu of embezzling 2000 yuan in state-owned assets, and he was taken out for a shooting contest."

"You're... we're even understating it! After all these years, you've earned at least hundreds of thousands, right? With so much illicit money, how many times do you think you'd be shot?"

Ximen Lang couldn't help but start muttering after hearing this.
"2000 yuan is enough to get her shot at, but she must have made hundreds of thousands. At the very least, they'll be shot at with machine guns, firing dozens of rounds in a row, and then bombarded with artillery."

After muttering to himself, he saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him.

Bai Ling even showed a look of care for the mentally retarded.

Because Chen Xueru is a woman, a pretty and humorous woman, and she has not made any principled mistakes.

He really couldn't bear to see such a scene of life and death, so he pulled Bai Ling aside.

First, we need to confirm whether Chen Xueru has brought back the contraband and done anything that is harmful to the people and against the law.

It turned out that Chen Xueru was only concerned about money, and her eyes were only on oil, grain, cloth, and other things that sold better and more expensive than flour, and she really didn't bring back the contraband that harmed the Chinese people.

Ximen Lang couldn't help but plead for Chen Xueru.

"She just wanted to make some money, and she didn't do anything harmful. On the contrary, she objectively brought a lot of scarce materials back to the country, alleviating the pressure of domestic supply shortages. So, can you please be lenient and give her a lighter sentence? Don't be so aggressive, it's not good."

Seeing Ximen Lang actually pleading for her, it was nothing at first, but when she thought of Xia Yiyi, who was eyeing her in the future, Bai Ling said sensitively, "You are not attracted to her, are you?"

This is Chunchun insulting people.

"Although I'm certainly not a good person, I still have some bottom line, right? If I really wanted to mess around, with my looks, status, and position, there's no woman I couldn't get. Why would I bother with a widow?"

It didn't sound very pleasant, but it was indeed the truth, which made Bai Ling immediately dispel her messy thoughts.

Seeing that Bai Ling's frown finally relaxed, Ximen Lang continued.

"The main thing is that she has a younger child at home. If she dies or goes to jail, what will happen to her child? That's what I'm worried about."

Seeing this, some people will definitely say that Fan Jinyou also has an elderly mother at home who needs care.

Since Ximen Lang is so soft-hearted, why didn't he plead for Fan Jinyou before?

Man, the nature is different!

Fan Jinyou falsely accused Xu Huizhen of embezzling 2000 yuan of state-owned assets, and he was aiming to take Xu Huizhen's life and destroy her family!
Not to mention that Fan Jinyou had already offended Ximen Lang before, he didn’t do that!

Ximen Lang would not show any mercy to such a bad character and evildoer!
But Chen Xueru is different. Although this matter is a big deal, it is also quite big.

But at least she didn't hurt anyone!

It also objectively helped the world of Sijiu City to alleviate some of the pressure of extreme shortage of supplies.

In addition, her relationship with Ximen Lang is somewhat reasonable, and she is also a pleasant young widow.

Of course Ximen Lang was willing to say something good about her.

But seeing Ximen Lang's sincerity in speaking, he really couldn't bear it.

Sighing, Bai Ling pulled him to a deserted place again.

After making sure that Chen Xueru and the others could not hear their conversation, Bai Ling finally spoke.

"I really don't know whether you are stupid or smart. If I really wanted to kill her, I wouldn't say any of this nonsense to her! I'd just take her to the police station and have her executed when the time comes, and there would be no more trouble! Why would I even need to say all this to her?"

"What do you mean?"

Since it was already like this, Bai Ling might as well break it down and explain it to Ximen Lang in one breath.

"There are three reasons. First, while her smuggling business is indeed a mistake, we also have people behind the scenes fueling it. Morally and logically, we shouldn't kill someone like that."

"Secondly, as you said, she does have her bottom line and concerns. Of course, it's also related to the fact that she has a crying child at home. As for the third question."

In Ximen Lang's ear, the always upright Bai Ling finally said something that was not so in line with mainstream values.

"That smuggling channel, with its connections up and down, has a considerable volume of both incoming and outgoing goods. It's not necessarily crucial to us, but it's certainly not something we can easily abandon."

"If we ever fall out with the Russians, we might have to use this channel to sell them high-value products like lighters and plastic bags at high prices in exchange for foreign currency, or even for some technical data."

"After all, you know, the Russians are very greedy."
