Chapter 537 Helpless
Peng Lai Tavern.
After sitting down, Jiang Xinyu said, "What do you want from me?"
Ray-Ban: "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to have a drink with you."
Jiang Xinyu took off his coat, put it on a chair nearby, and said: "You were so secretive on the phone, and you said it was fine when we met, are you okay?"
"To say it's okay, there's something wrong." Lei Ban said with a smile.
The food and wine were quickly served, including a plate of braised fish fillets, a plate of Mushu pork, a plate of grilled three whites, and a pot of blanched Laobaigan.
After drinking for three rounds, Lei Ban sighed and said: "The money I owe you has to be postponed for a while. You also know that the man in my family is used to being a spendthrift. It is too difficult for him to save some money!"
Jiang Xinyu took a mouthful of vegetables and said, "That's it?"
Lei Ban had a serious look on his face and said: "If you don't have money, you have to think about it. You can't always owe money and not pay it back. Although you are not in a hurry, I don't tolerate it here!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Who said I'm not in a hurry."
Lei Pen and Jiang Xinyu clinked their wine glasses and said, "Xinyu, you have connections at the dock. There are so many profitable businesses now, why don't you take advantage of them?"
Jiang Xinyu glanced at him and said, "How to use it?"
Lei Ban looked around and whispered: "The day before yesterday, Liu Hei and I met!"
"Liu Hei? That bandit leader?"
"Yes, that's him!"
"How did you get in touch with him?"
"Huo Yazi and Liu Hei are somewhat related, that's how they met."
"You went to Jiulong Mountain?"
"Why should I go there? Liu Hei is in Yanjin right now!"
"Where is he?"
"Are you going to catch him?"
"Nonsense, Liu Hei is not only a bandit, but also a traitor. He is ranked number one on the police station's wanted list!"
Lei Pen said with a smile: "There are too many traitors, can we catch them? Even Zhou Fohai Dingmo Village can be pardoned, let alone a little person like Liu Hei. Besides, maybe Liu Hei will be recruited one day and he will turn around."
Kill the national army!"
Jiang Xinyu put down his chopsticks and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Lei Pen said mysteriously: "Liu Hei has a batch of tobacco that he wants to sell. He wants to find someone to smooth the relationship and transport it out from the Yanjin Port Terminal!"
Jiang Xinyu said seriously: "Leiban, are you desperate for your life? Last month, six cigarette dealers were shot in Peking, including He Yaozu, the former director of the Customs Inspection Department!"
"I know, I know, He Yaozu was too flamboyant, thinking that no one would dare to touch him, otherwise he wouldn't be shot!"
"The director of the inspection department can be shot, but you still dare to dip into such muddy water?"
"Xinyu, you don't need to come forward to do this. All you need to do is say hello to the dock. I'll take care of the rest. Just wait for the dividends!"
Jiang Xinyu didn't think about it for a second and flatly refused: "No! This kind of thing will harm future generations and will be punished by God!"
Ray-Ban still refused to give up and said: "I promise, I will only do it this time..."
"Not even half the time!"
"Xinyu, why are you doing this? If we don't do it, Liu Hei will find other ways, and the smoke will still flow to the market..."
Jiang Xinyu stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Lei Ban, don't mention this matter again. From my point of view, there is no room for accommodation!"
Seeing Jiang Xinyu's resolute attitude, Lei Ban couldn't say any more. He picked up his wine glass and said, "If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do about it. Alas, I just feel it's a pity..."
Jiang Xinyu turned the wine glass in his hand and said to himself: "This Liu Hei is very courageous. There are wanted notices for him everywhere, and he still dares to come to Yanjin!"
Lei Ban drank a glass of wine and said: "This guy got on the line with Adjutant Yu from the security team. This time, in addition to the tobacco issue, we will also discuss the conditions for recruitment."
This kind of thing is very common. All the garrison units are expanding their strength. Today they are bandits, and tomorrow they become soldiers in uniform!
The matter was not settled. Lei Ban was depressed for a while, then suddenly remembered the phone call, so he smiled and said: "Xinyu, who answered the phone?"
When this topic was brought up, Jiang Xinyu felt a little headache and said vaguely: "A friend."
"What friend?"
"normal friend."
"Come on, I said it's your new love, right?"
"It's whatever you say!"
Lei Ban said with a bad smile: "Now that I have a new love, what will I do with my old love?"
Thinking of Mina who was far away in Japan, Jiang Xinyu felt a sense of loss. He originally planned to go to Osaka to find her, but now that he has contacted the organization, he will not be able to make the trip in a short time.

When he returned home, the lights came on in the wing. Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment, then opened the door and walked in. He saw Tong Dakui hunched over making the bed.
Tong Dakui greeted politely: "Captain Jiang."
Jiang Xinyu looked around and saw that the house had been tidied up completely, and said, "There is no heating in the wing, so I need to put an extra quilt on it at night."
"It's okay, you'll be fine after tonight."
"If it feels too cold, put a charcoal brazier in the room."
"The lady said that we will find someone to connect a set of heaters in the wing tomorrow."
"Oh... go to bed early."
Entering the living room, Tongtong sat on the sofa and was looking through the photo album with great interest. Most of the photos in the album were photos of Hattori Mina.
Hearing the sound of the car engine in the yard, Tong Tong knew it was Jiang Xinyu and said without raising his head: "He's back."
Jiang Xinyu frowned and said, "I remember putting the photo album in the cabinet."
Tong Tong looked confident and said, "Yes, what's wrong? The small buttons require needle and thread, but I couldn't find them anywhere. That's when I saw this photo album."
Jiang Xinyu was silent for a moment and said: "Miss Tong, please don't go through my things again!"
Tong Tong turned a deaf ear, as if he hadn't heard anything. He looked at the photo album attentively and said, "Is your wife like this too?"
In the photo, Hattori Mina is holding her arm, with a sweet and happy smile on her face, with the blue sea in the background.
Jiang Xinyu was in a trance for a moment, and his mind instantly returned to that summer, which was a photo taken while they were traveling in Dagu after their wedding.
Seeing that Jiang Xinyu didn't speak, Tong Tong hit him with the photo album and said, "I want to ask you something, are you mute?"
Jiang Xinyu said perfunctorily: "Absolutely."
Tong Tong said to himself: "If she were similar to me, she would be really pretty..."
As soon as the door opened, Little Button came in with a tray and said, "Miss, the coffee is ready."
Tong Tong said proudly: "Jiang Xinyu, you saw it. From now on, there will be dedicated staff to make tea and water, wash and cook. How do you feel?"
Jiang Xinyu took a sip of the coffee and said, "It tastes good!"
Tong Tong said coquettishly: "Who asked you about coffee? I mean how does this kind of life feel?"
Jiang Xinyu put down the coffee cup and said, "I just heard Dakui say that he needs to connect the heater to the wing tomorrow?"
"Yes, otherwise it would be too cold."
"How long are you going to stay?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the wing is usually unoccupied, so there is no need to install a heater."
"Don't worry about it, Dakui can handle these things too!"
