Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 168, Tool Man Million (asking for monthly ticket)
On March 7, 1959, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily News office was located on the 36th floor of Kaifa Building, Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong Island.

HSBC manager Joseph Grant appears here. He came here today to visit Bruce Chapman, editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily.

Recently, Alex Redmayne has met with Joseph Grant and mentioned the matter of Zhao Changshou and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily.

After learning from Alex that Zhao Changshou was actually a businessman engaged in stock trading, Joseph Grant became even more attentive.

Because HSBC itself also does this kind of business, Joseph Grant very much hopes that Zhao Changshou can open an account at their HSBC bank to trade stocks.

At the same time, it was also to help Alex and see how good Zhao Changshou's stock trading skills were.

That's why he came so frequently, but he didn't see Zhao Mancang for several days.

"What on earth did the boss do? Why did this Joseph act so attentive?"

Both Bruce and Chen Liangsheng were very curious about what Zhao Mancang had done behind the scenes. After all, Joseph Grant's attitude was really intriguing.

So trying to please the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily is like trying to please someone without any reason. You are either a traitor or a thief.

"Could it be that they are coveting our newspaper?"

The two didn't know whether they had guessed correctly, but on the other side was the editor-in-chief's office at Liyuan Building, No. 20 Liyuan East Street, the headquarters of Sing Pao.

"Manager Li, how is it? Haven't you come up with a solution yet?"

Faced with the aggressive Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily, Sing Pao's chief editor Mou Yanfang was really panicked. He called meetings with his subordinates for several days in a row to try to come up with a solution.

The daily sales of "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" have been steadily increasing. At the end of February, the sales were only 68,000 copies, but now on March 7, the daily sales of "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" have exceeded 70,500 copies.

Although it took only seven or eight days to increase by more than 2,000 copies, the rate of increase is not slow.

You should know that the daily sales of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily News have reached 70,500 copies. It is not a small newspaper in itself, and there is no problem for it to rank among the top seven in Hong Kong's newspaper industry.

As a result, the daily sales of Sing Pao have dropped from 71,000 copies to the current 69,700 copies.

The number fell below 70,000, which was a huge blow to Sing Pao.

"Editor-in-Chief, the biggest selling point of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily is The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, along with the two main sections: People's Livelihood Matters and Make You Laugh. The other sections are pretty average."

Manager Li pondered for a moment and then said:

“So if we, Sing Pao, want to bring our sales back up to 70,000, we have to make some adjustments.”

"The second thing is marketing. The Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily gives small newsstands and bookstores a profit margin of a dime. That's why their sales are increasing so quickly. So we need to find a compromise."

However, upon hearing this, Mou Yanfang shook his head and said:

"No, no, that's definitely not possible. The reason our Cheng Pao has been able to get to where it is today is due to the existing sections. If we rashly change them, it will only backfire."

"As for the content, I will figure it out and I will stick to it, so don't worry about it."

"And then there's the matter of profits. We've already been giving a lot of them. If we rashly give them more, how can we survive? You need to think of other solutions."

Li Dongyan, who was flatly rejected, fell silent instantly.

Isn't this a typical case of wanting the horse to run but not giving it grass to eat?
You bastard, you’re going too far!

But the other party is the editor-in-chief, the big boss. What can he, a small employee, do?

Sing Tao Building, 1 Wang Kwong Road, Kowloon Peninsula.

Hu Wenxian was a little angry because the editor-in-chief Gu Qibei, deputy editor-in-chief Shen Yuanzhi and others had no idea what to do.

"Tell me, have I ever treated you unfairly? No? Although I have only taken over my father's company for a few years, I haven't let our newspaper sales drop over the years. On the contrary, now..."

The emergence of the Hong Kong & Kowloon Daily has indeed brought a new shock to the entire Hong Kong newspaper industry, and this shock is very strong.

why?
It is obvious that the sales volume of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily is only over 70,000 copies, and it has not yet topped the sales ranking of the entire Hong Kong Island. Even if it has influence, it is only insignificant.

However, in fact, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily has many powerful weapons, otherwise it would not be possible to carve out a path in the fiercely competitive Hong Kong newspaper industry.

Not to mention the novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, after all, the Hong Kong Commercial Daily itself also serialized The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and its sales were also remarkable. It was also a regular in the top ten of Hong Kong Island newspaper sales rankings.

Other competitors such as Sing Tao Daily and Sing Pao are very worried that the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily will use sections such as small matters of people's livelihood, making you laugh, and expert comments to directly top the sales rankings.

Because this is no joke!
The two sections, namely, small matters of people's livelihood and making you laugh, are already extremely attractive to ordinary people in Hong Kong Island, not to mention that there are also experts commenting on this section.

Anyone can post their own comments. The Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily will select interesting parts of readers' letters to be published in the newspaper and will also pay a certain amount of remuneration.

This alone is enough to make many people break down.

It was promised that there would be sharp expert reviews, but what happened was that any letter from a reader could be published in the newspaper, and there would be a fee for it. The sharper the letter, the more likely it was to be published.

Smart people have already seen the pattern, so they happily buy the "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" newspaper every day to read it, and "ponder" how to make more targeted comments.

This is a virtuous cycle.

Many people believe that the reason why the sales of "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" are soaring is probably because of the four major sections: "Make You Laugh", "World of Martial Arts", "People's Livelihood" and "Expert Comments".

But what they don’t know is that sections such as News Live, China Online, Local Information, and Entertainment Storm are also very attractive.

What is the most important reason why many people buy newspapers?
The purpose is to understand information from the outside world, and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily covers many sections and provides sufficiently diverse information so that readers can grasp a lot of information from the outside world.

At the same time, you can entertain yourself and participate in it through expert comments. This is the most important point.

Sense of participation!
The Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily News is a newspaper that makes its readers feel involved, which is one of the reasons why it stands out.

Can't Hu Wenxian, Gu Qibei, Shen Yuanzhi and others see through this?

They can definitely see this, but they don't think there is anything good about it, or they can't analyze it, or they are reluctant to give up this part of their right to freedom of speech. This is the limitation of the times.

The expert comments in the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily are a bit like self-media. Although they only have some of the functions of self-media, they are enough to attract readers.

In March, all the newspapers in Hong Kong Island's newspaper industry and those on the sales rankings were thinking about how to deal with the aggressive "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily News".

At this time, Louis Cha had already resigned from Great Wall Film Company and was no longer a screenwriter.

Because this was his eleventh thought since coming to Hong Kong Island, and he did not rate his eleven years of development in Hong Kong Island highly in his mind.

why?
It was only because he wanted to do something but always found it difficult to do so, that after careful consideration, he resolutely set up his own business and sought real development.

So he decided to start a newspaper.

However, he could not imagine how difficult it was to start a newspaper.

"The Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily was able to become the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong Island in just over a month. I believe I can do it too."

"It's a pity that the owner of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily News isn't on Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, I would have discussed this with him no matter what."

Louis Cha is no ordinary person. He has served as deputy editor-in-chief of the New Evening News and has worked as a screenwriter and director at the Great Wall Film Company. Although these companies are left-leaning, he believes that with his status in the industry, the owner of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily would definitely be happy to meet him.

What's more, the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" currently being serialized in the "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" is simply a replica of Louis Cha's writing style, except that the story takes place in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

The fake Li Gui wouldn't be afraid to see the real Li Kui, right?

Pangantucan, Mindanao.

Zhao Mancang allowed Edwin Brochet, Emmerich and others to search his body, acting as if he dared not resist.

In Mindanao, Washington's soldiers are the coolest.

Before Kimura invaded here in 1941, Mindanao was Sam's territory.

After the end of World War II, Mindanao was the frontier position of Sam's first and second lines of defense in the Far East, and many Sam soldiers were stationed here.

Therefore, even though Mindanao is independent, it is not completely independent.

Under such circumstances, even if Zhao Mancang had a white face, he would not resist rashly.

Maybe these Sam soldiers will let me go soon?
"Let me ask you, who is this person? Why is he unconscious?"

Edwin Broche pointed at Furukawa and asked seriously.

Even though he had just found out that Zhao Mancang was a tourist from Great Britain visiting Medan Island, and that he spoke with an authentic London accent, he lowered his guard, but he did not completely give up his suspicions.

"He is my friend. He was accidentally bitten by a spider just now. I am anxious to take him to the hospital."

"Then what's with this gauze? How could the spider bite be so big?"

Faced with doubts, Zhao Mancang had no choice but to lie:
"Yes, the spider bite was not big, and we didn't pay much attention to it at first. It wasn't until my friend fainted that I realized something was wrong."

Seeing that Zhao Mancang's words were so reasonable, Edwin Broche was a little disappointed. There was indeed nothing suspicious about the identities of these two people.

Furukawa Baoxin originally entered Mindanao as a normal tourist, and so did Zhao Mancang.

There was nothing to question about the documents, and questioning would yield no results, so Edwin Broche had no choice but to let him go.

In this way, Zhao Mancang survived the disaster without any danger. This was the first time he met such a "kind soldier Sam".

The unruly Sam soldiers all treat people differently based on their circumstances.

Although Great Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and the current global superpower is Sam, the white people in Great Britain have the queen behind them, and many Sam people want to become aristocrats after they have become successful.

Edwin Broche's last name is Broche. Three generations of his family hope to manage the Broche name well and let this family, like other nobles, leave its mark in the long river of history.

Therefore, Edwin Brochet had a very favorable impression of the Anglo-Saxons of Great Britain.

After leaving, Zhao Mancang breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly returned to the place where Xu Wenluo was placed, preparing to hide there for a few days.

For the next two days, he did not go out, but stayed in the yard doing his own things.

The lone wolf still had no trace and had no idea where the other party was.

Instead, on the third day, Zhao Mancang intercepted a coded telegram signal through the radio.

After the translation, Zhao Mancang was shocked. Oh my god, it’s Moscow again!

Zhao Mancang has always been well aware of the entanglement between Moscow and Washington. The two sides are definitely fighting back and forth, with one side taking the stage before the other has even finished.

But he didn't expect that even in a place like Mindanao, the Moscow KGB would be so rampant. It was simply shocking.

"So, the reason Season 3 hasn't started yet is probably because neither side is ready yet?"

"No, the Monkey Islands Civil War should be some kind of test before Season 3, right?"

Suddenly, Zhao Mancang thought a lot again, especially about the civil war in the Monkey Islands, which should have started earlier.

In 1953, Sam was severely beaten by Dongda in the Northern Peninsula of the Far East and ran back to his hometown with a bruised face.

It wasn't until 1954 that Sam, who had been cleaned up, started causing trouble again.

Sam used Haizhou City as the dividing line and supported a puppet in the south of Monkey Peninsula, providing economic and other assistance.

The struggle should have started at this time, and the full-scale intervention should have started in 1961.

Moscow on the other side certainly did not want to be outdone, which is why Zhao Mancang had such frequent contact with the KGB.

It's crazy!

After learning that there were many KGB agents in Mindanao, Zhao Mancang became more vigilant. He had to be more cautious in his next actions, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble again.

After thinking it over carefully, Zhao Mancang immediately took Xu Wenluo and Gu Chuan Baoxin back to Manila that night, and left Mindanao by plane early in the morning.

When we returned to Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong Island, it was already noon on March 11th.

On the eighth floor of Yijing Garden in Kwun Tong, Kowloon Peninsula, Zhao Mancang pushed Xu Wenluo into the house in a wheelchair.

"Xiao Xu, you will recover here first. I will arrange for someone to bring you food. There are newspapers, books, and a TV here. You can take a look at them yourself. I have to take care of my own things, so I won't talk to you for now."

After making arrangements with Xu Wenluo, Zhao Mancang left first.

He brought the unconscious Furukawa back to the Qifa Building in Central, Hong Kong Island, and found the editor-in-chief Bruce Chapman and the deputy editor-in-chief Chen Liangsheng to learn about the newspaper's recent business performance and assign tasks to them.

Zhao Mancang was a little surprised to learn that Louis Cha had actually come to see him, and immediately asked Bruce to notify the other party immediately and tell him that he was free now.

"By the way, please arrange for the front desk to deliver food to the eighth floor of Yijing Garden. There's a girl living there who's mute and might be shy."

Xu Wenluo was his tool to fleece the sheep, so this was the only way for now. After she got better, he would ask her about any other arrangements.

Fang Xiaohui, the front desk clerk at the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily, is a gentle and kind little beauty, so Zhao Mancang feels at ease when he asks her to help deliver meals.

Of course, the security in Kowloon is actually average, so it would be better to arrange for a male colleague to go with Fang Xiaohui to deliver the meal.

Bruce and Chen Liangsheng agreed readily. Zhao Mancang asked for some details, and then took Fang Xiaohui and Lin Zhenan to the eighth floor of Yijing Garden in Kwun Tong, Kowloon Peninsula.

After introducing the two to Xu Wenluo, Zhao Mancang thought Xu Wenluo would accept, but she actually asked him on a piece of paper when he would be back. She was scared!
"Is this a dependence on myself?"

Zhao Mancang was stunned. It couldn’t be that serious, right?

If the other party hadn't lost her memory, Zhao Mancang would have sent her back to her own home by now.

As a doctor, he could tell that Xu Wenluo was not very old. At most, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, which was the prime of her life.

But at this age, you shouldn't become dependent on yourself, right?

Moreover, the two of them had not had much contact, and Xu Wenluo saw clearly the appearance of Zhao Mancang, who used the identity of a British white man when he was in Mindanao.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, Zhao Mancang naturally changed back to his appearance as Zhao Changshou.

Therefore, even if Xu Wenluo lost her memory, she should be able to understand that Zhao Mancang is not an ordinary person.

Although he didn't quite understand, Zhao Mancang still shook his head at her and said:
"I'm not sure how long it will take me to come back, but they can take care of your daily life. If they bully you, just write it down. I'll take care of them when I come back."

Just like coaxing a child, after Zhao Mancang coaxed her, he asked Fang Xiaohui and Lin Zhenan to come into the room. After explaining everything clearly, Zhao Mancang returned to Qifa Building.

Louis Cha is here!
In the office, Zhao Mancang and Cha Liangyong chatted face to face.

Zhao Mancang was quite curious. Why didn't Cha Liangyong want to stay in the New Evening News? Why was he so determined to start a newspaper?

In fact, Louis Cha's butt is sometimes crooked and sometimes straight. He is a very contradictory person.

But this is the way of the times. Many people who came from the 1930s and 1940s are actually similar to Louis Cha.

For example, those capitalists who made a profit, such as Xie Zhenfa, Su Yuanfu, Zhou Wenchuan, etc., actually just wanted to live a stable life. They had no concepts such as country or lofty ideals such as national pride.

He's really just an ordinary person.

However, they don’t think about it: without a country, where would there be a home?

"Mr. Cha, how about you come to our Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily? I believe you should have read our Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily, right?" Although Cha Liangyong's butt is sometimes crooked, Zhao Mancang believes that he can handle this matter.

The current "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" is completely neutral and does not lean towards either the left or the right.

Before the 1980s, there was no need to put these things on the table; they could be done quietly behind the scenes.

As for whether Zhao Changshou’s pseudonym should be leaked, Zhao Mancang hasn’t thought about it much yet.

"Boss Zhao, are you really going to be completely neutral?"

Louis Cha already had the answer in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm Zhao Mancang's ideas about running a newspaper.

"Haha, I think Mr. Cha has the answer in his heart. Many things cannot be answered by words, but by the actions of the other party. I believe Mr. Cha must be very clear about this principle."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"Although the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily was founded not long ago, we are eager for talent. If Mr. Cha could join our newspaper, it would definitely be a great honor."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Mr. Cha, that at the end of last month, I had already planned to launch a weekly magazine, and I will also launch other newspapers in the future."

"I might even start a new newspaper company, maybe Ming Pao, to distinguish right from wrong."

"Mr. Cha has served as deputy editor-in-chief of the New Evening News and has extensive experience. In my opinion, you are the best editor-in-chief for Ming Pao."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Louis Cha was stunned.

Recently, he has been communicating with his good friends Shen Baoxin, Pan Yuesheng and others about the establishment of a newspaper, including the issue of naming the new newspaper.

Pan Yuesheng once proposed the name Ming Pao, which means to distinguish right from wrong.

Both Louis Cha and Shen Baoxin agreed very much with the name Ming Pao and thought it was a good choice.

However, they were still in the planning stage, but they didn't expect that Zhao Mancang had already thought of this and was preparing to set up such a newspaper.

If Zhao Mancang really intercepted it in advance, wouldn't it be a tragedy for him, Shen Baoxin and Pan Yuesheng?
And Zhao Mancang knew the words Ming Pao. Could it be that Shen Baoxin or Pan Yuesheng tipped him off? Or was it just a coincidence?

"Mr. Zhao, I need to think about it."

Louis Cha was completely stunned. It took him a long time to react. Then he uttered something in a panic and said goodbye.

Watching the other person's back as he left, Zhao Mancang suddenly smiled.

If Louis Cha was really willing to join the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily, then Zhao Mancang would definitely meet the other party's requirements and really establish the Ming Pao.

But if the other party is not happy, then he definitely doesn't mind getting Ming Pao out in advance and selling it first.

After all, the current "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" already has a very mature newspaper publishing system, so it would be too easy to establish "Ming Pao".

The next day, Zhao Mancang pushed a wheelchair with Guchuan sitting in it to report the news.

The latter was resting with his eyes closed and wearing an eye mask, so he had no idea of ​​the outside world.

During these days, Zhao Mancang only gave the other party three hours a day to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and let him "sleep" for the rest of the time.

Especially during this time of contact with the outside world, Zhao Mancang would never let the other party be awake.

In this way, Zhao Mancang brought Furukawa to report the news and arrived in Osaka safely.

When Zhao Mancang brought Furukawa the news and arrived at Furukawa's house in Shinnaka-cho, Yamatokoriyama City, the latter was completely stunned.

"Guchuan reported, I said I would take you home, do you believe it now?"

Looking at the white British man Zhao Mancang next to him, Guchuan Baoxin wanted to kill him.

Although Sam's soldiers, Hedreson and Brian, also knew the location of his home, they were not murderous bastards.

But the Zhao Mancang in front of him was definitely a devil. In front of Guchuan, he shot Hedreson in the head and then cut Brian's neck with a knife. He was extremely cruel and brutal.

Now that the other party has returned to his home, can his Furukawa family continue to survive?
"You, what do you want to do?"

At this time, Furukawa Baoxin was stunned in place. After he reacted, he asked in a trembling voice, with fear in his eyes.

When he was in Mindanao, he did a lot of bad things like burning, killing and looting, but at that time he was the victor and he felt no pain because swords and guns could not hurt him.

But now he was really scared, fearing that Zhao Mancang's knife would suddenly cut into his and his Guchuan family members' necks.

"What do I want to do?" Zhao Mancang laughed happily when he heard this:
"Tell me everything you know, like whether you are a colonel or not? How much money did you hide in Mindanao and Osaka, and where did you hide it? And there are many other things. Come on, we have plenty of time, you can tell me slowly."

After saying that, Zhao Mancang took the other person back to a room not far away.

The Furukawa family's house was nearby, and Furukawa Baoxin was of course very familiar with everything in his hometown, so he was really very scared.

Especially when he just returned to the room on the second floor, Zhao Mancang pushed him to the balcony, where he could see everything in his house more than 30 meters away more clearly.

His little grandson was running around in the yard laughing, his daughter-in-law was playing behind him, and his son and wife were watching with smiles in a corner of the yard not far away. It was a very harmonious scene.

But to Guchuan Baoxin, this scene was a scene of great sorrow.

How to do?
Half a day later, Zhao Mancang got the information he wanted to see, and immediately took out the radio and sent a telegram to Wei Huayong who was far away in the capital.

The 108th Headquarters is located at No. 8, Guozi Lane, Mule and Horse Market Street, Beijing.

Wei Huayong didn't expect to receive Zhao Mancang's telegram so soon. After seeing the content of the telegram, he was completely shocked.

"There are still so many people in our capital?"

The telegram listed a total of fifteen names, all of which were provided by Furukawa Baoxin, and the lists also listed detailed information.

Not to mention Wei Huayong, even Zhao Mancang didn't expect that Guchuan Baoxin had such a hidden trick.

After getting the list, Wei Huayong immediately contacted the special operations department where Zhang Jinfu was located, because only their department had enough manpower, and they were also responsible for this matter.

"Old Captain, are you saying that these lists are all intelligence sent back by Zhao Mancang?"

In the office, Zhang Jinfu walked past Shen Moqun, the head of their department, and asked Wei Huayong in shock.

"Yes, I didn't expect him to be so powerful. His original mission was to track down the Lone Wolf and, ideally, find the lost war loot. I didn't expect him to get a list like this."

Wei Huayong smiled and said:

"Old Shen, you have to hurry up and not let these people escape."

Shen Moqun nodded seriously, saying that he would definitely catch these people and would not let Comrade Zhao Mancang's efforts go to waste.

At this moment, the phone rang again. After Shen Moqun picked up the phone, he handed it to Wei Huayong after a while.

"Old Wei, looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Wei Huayong was quite surprised. This was the Special Operations Department, not the 108th Department. Why were they looking for him?
Wei Huayong took the phone skeptically, and soon his expression became even more exciting.

"Old Shen, I have to leave first. You must hurry up."

After saying that, Wei Huayong left in a hurry.

When Wei Huayong arrived at the intelligence department that sent and received telegrams, he immediately found the head of their department, Meng Zhichang. It was the latter who had called him just now, saying that Zhao Mancang had sent back other information.

Zhao Mancang applied to return to the capital early because he had ten tons of gold.

The telegram about ten tons of gold directly alarmed the entire intelligence department, leaving them completely stunned.

"Old Hong, are you sure it was really Zhao Mancang who sent the telegram? Where is he now? Why was he able to send two telegrams in a row?"

Wei Huayong's tone was very anxious, because he was afraid that Zhao Mancang had provided false telegram information, causing him to be happy for nothing, and might even offend his superiors.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang didn't specify his exact location, but we suspect he's not far from the capital, as this telegram wasn't forwarded from Hong Kong Island, but was sent directly to us."

After listening to Meng Zhichang's words, Wei Huayong nodded and said immediately:
"In that case, could you please reply to him and ask him to return to the capital first? Also, ask him if he needs any assistance?"

That's ten tons of gold, no small amount.

If anything goes wrong, the leaders above may come with knives and chop people.

In Kimura, in a wooden house in Shinnaka-cho, Yamatokoriyama City, Zhao Mancang was smiling as he watched Furukawa report the news, and the latter felt a chill in his heart.

"Sir, I have told you everything I should and shouldn't say. There is absolutely no omission. Please rest assured."

"Really? Did you really tell me everything?" Zhao Mancang asked with a smile. Without waiting for the other party to answer, he pushed him to the balcony and pointed to the yard not far away.
"Did you see that child? Look how cute he is. You don't want him to die like this, do you?"

demon!

Furukawa was shaking all over when he reported the news, and then he fainted from anger the next moment.

He had indeed explained everything very clearly, but Zhao Mancang thought he had left something out and insisted on forcing him to explain.

In fact, Zhao Mancang would certainly not let the other party go so easily. Zhao Mancang could not imagine how dark the heart of a colonel like Kimura was.

The fact that Furukawa Baoxin was able to hide 83 tons of gold and a lot of arms in Mindanao is enough to show that he is a meticulous and insidious person.

Zhao Mancang absolutely didn't believe that he had hidden such a large sum of money only in Mindanao.

Is there a possibility that Furukawa Hoshin hid some funds in Shinnaka Town or somewhere in Yamatokoriyama City?

In 1945, they, Kimura, were defeated and announced their surrender.

But before they surrendered on August 15th, August 6th was when Sam dropped 'Little Boy' on Hiroshima, and August 9th was when Sam dropped 'Fat Man' on Nagasaki.

In other words, from the 6th to the 15th, Furukawa still had plenty of time to prepare for the report.

These people definitely knew that their country of Kimura could not resist Sam, so they hid the war wealth in advance.

Burying it on the spot was the best solution, but there were definitely other ways to hide it, and these were the clumsy ways to deal with Private Sam.

Otherwise, when Sam's soldiers arrive and find that you, the Kimura soldiers, have not handed over much wealth, even a fool would know that there is a problem.

Therefore, it is possible that Furukawa had hidden some wealth and escaped the pursuit of Sam's soldiers.

Based on this situation, if Zhao Mancang did not squeeze Guchuan dry to report the news, it would definitely be too easy for the other party.

Two days later, Furukawa, who was tortured to death, reported the news and had to reveal his last secret.

On Wakakusa Mountain, more than ten kilometers away from Yamatokoriyama City, there is an ancient temple in the wilderness called Inadaki Temple.

About two hundred meters east of the Rice Field Temple is a flat land that could not be more ordinary. There are several large trees planted on this flat land.

These big trees are no different from the other big trees around them. The only difference is that there are dozens of stones piled up in a mess under the trees.

These stones are covered with leaves and other things, and only a small part of them is exposed, and you can tell that they are stones.

It is such an ordinary place, and it is where Guchuan reported the news and hid the treasure.

Zhao Mancang dug out two large boxes here. The boxes were made of copper, and after opening them, there were many more boxes inside.

The boxes inside were small boxes made of golden nanmu wood. Zhao Mancang took out one of the wooden boxes, which was quite heavy.

In fact, these small golden nanmu boxes alone are worth a lot of money, not to mention that after opening them, there are actually US dollar bills wrapped in oil paper inside.

Yes, there was a million dollars in cash in one small box, and there were more than twenty such small boxes in a large copper box.

In other words, these two large boxes contain a total of more than 40 million US dollars in cash.

After opening it and checking, Zhao Mancang was completely shocked. This Guchuan Baoxin was really awesome. He actually knew how to hide money?
From gold to US dollar cash, this guy is definitely a big shot.

For the inheritance of their Furukawa family, Furukawa Baoxin also did a lot of things.

Unfortunately, no matter how thoughtful he was, the funds were eventually taken away by Zhao Mancang.

"Since you really have nothing more to say, then go on your way with peace of mind. I promise that your family will be here to accompany you soon."

When Guchuan Baoxin heard what Zhao Mancang said, his eyes widened instantly. He angrily tried to break the rope that Zhao Mancang had tied him with, but everything was in vain.

Throwing Guchuan's message into the mud pit where he had just dug the box, Zhao Mancang smiled:

"Well? Any last words? If you regret it now, or have some unexpected secrets, if you tell me now, I might really let your family go."

"Please, I really have nothing left, please let me go."

Since you have nothing left, then go to hell and repent!
Zhao Mancang will not show mercy to this kind of war butcher, and even feels that killing him is not enough.

However, Zhao Mancang did not take any action against Guchuan's family members who had reported the news.

"Well, that bastard Araki Sadao really deserves to die."

After dealing with Furukawa's report, Zhao Mancang suddenly remembered Sadao Araki whom he saw in Yamatokoriyama City two days ago. This man is definitely one of the war executioners, damn it!
It's not just because of the other party's identity, but also because he was released from prison in 1956.

After being released from prison, Sadao Araki continued to give speeches in various places in Kimura, continuing to experience the "glory" he had once had.

Since the other party is so arrogant, Zhao Mancang naturally doesn't mind giving him a ride.

Zhao Mancang came to Osaka, first bought a plane ticket, and then after some investigation, disguised himself as a hotel staff and sneaked in.

Because Sadao Araki was a very famous person, he was welcomed by the locals wherever he went, so the hotels he stayed in were very luxurious. It can be said that he made enough money and gained enough face.

As a doctor, Zhao Mancang certainly knew how to deal with people like Araki Sadao.

After sneaking into the hotel, he took advantage of the dusk and came to the floor where Sadao Araki's room was. As expected, there was strict security here.

"How ironic! A prisoner who sang "Tears Behind Bars" in Sugamo Prison can actually enjoy such treatment?"

With a hint of sarcasm on his lips, Zhao Mancang walked past the heavily guarded bodyguards and entered Sadao Araki's room.

Looking at the sleeping executioner, Zhao Mancang showed no mercy and with just a slight move, Sadao Araki died peacefully.

There was no way, he didn't want to give the other party such an easy advantage, but the security outside was tight and he didn't want to expose himself.

So all we have to do is pretend that Sadao Araki died suddenly.

Besides, this bastard was already 82 years old, so sudden death is very normal.

The next morning, when Zhao Mancang appeared in the waiting hall of Osaka Airport, the hotel discovered that Sadao Araki had died.

After the doctor came to check, he was unable to determine whether it was homicide and could only conclude that it was sudden death.

Therefore, the police in Osaka did not arrest people everywhere, and Zhao Mancang boarded the plane smoothly and flew directly to the Bay Island.

That’s right, this flight needs to transfer in the Taiwan Strait before it can continue to fly to Hong Kong and Kowloon.

When Zhao Mancang landed on Wan Island, an accident suddenly happened.
