The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 189: Handing over wealth and retiring

The situation has changed. The Nationalist government has collapsed. The Eighth Route Army has taken over the city. All the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the city have fled. The days of fear and anxiety in the past are no longer there. The chaotic times are finally over.

In order to ensure a smooth handover of the Long government, Zhang Dalong provided money and food according to Hou Jie's instructions.

After the Long government completely took control of Sijiu City, Hou Jie found Li Gui.

Li Gui was very confused as he hadn't seen Hou Jie for a long time.

I don’t know what he wants to talk to me about.

"Comrade Li Gui, long time no see. I asked you to come here today because I have something very important to tell you. Please be sure to inform your superiors."

Li Gui saw Hou Jie's serious expression and felt embarrassed, but their old relationship was still there.

Since Hou Jie had spoken, he had to lend a hand and nodded in agreement reluctantly.

"Young Master, can you explain it in detail?"

Li Gui still used the previous title. After all, Hou Jie had provided a lot of financial support to the government in the past. These were achievements, so it was acceptable to use a respectful attitude.

Hou Jie didn't care. He told the reason he had made up long ago in a very sad tone, "A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to become a disciple and join a patriotic organization. After paying a huge sacrifice, the organization seized a large amount of supplies from the Japanese. Because I was young, I was responsible for managing this batch of supplies as an agent. Yongchang Grain Store was a product of this."

Li Guiteng stood up. This matter has been an unsolved case until now. He did not expect that Hou Jie was one of them. He said in disbelief:

"Could it be that the supplies our party received in 44 were obtained by you?"

Hou Jie pretended to be serious, but he was actually panicking. He sighed and said, "Yes."

Li Gui saluted him solemnly. "Thank you very much for your help. On behalf of the party organization, I would like to express my sincere gratitude."

"I will report this to my superiors. Excuse me, can we meet them?"

Hou Jie shook his head, still looking sad, with red eyes and tears flowing.

He also tried his best to succeed in acting. No wonder he twisted himself a few times.

"I'm sorry! I'm afraid I've disappointed you. I'm probably the only one left alive in the organization now. Their families were killed by the Japanese, and they've all decided to die."

"After I received the notification and arrived at the contact point, there was only a suicide note. I never saw the other people again."

"Last year, after the last operation, in order to maintain top secrecy, everyone who came into contact with it either committed suicide or was killed. The casualties were too great. Alas!..."

"Perhaps death is the best destination! Once you see it, you will understand everything."

Li Gui was very confused as to why Hou Jie said that. He couldn't meet them. He sat down disappointedly and muttered to himself, "Is that so? What a pity."

"Comrade Li Gui, you must bring enough people, vehicles, etc. tomorrow. We will need a lot of supplies. I'm afraid it won't be enough if we don't have enough people."

"I hope the confidentiality level is top secret."

After Li Gui calmed down, he saw how serious he was, his eyes twisted, and he asked tentatively, "How many people should I bring?"

"5000 people, maybe? I wonder if I can make a small request."

"You said, Young Master."

"Can you ask the leaders to write a few words for me as a testimony to us, so that their lives will not be in vain?"

"Okay, Young Master, I will definitely convey it."

When Li Gui reported the incident to higher authorities, it immediately attracted the attention of the higher authorities, who mobilized an elite brigade to support the operation.

According to Hou Jie's request, the confidentiality level of this operation is top secret and only a few people can access it.

The patriotic organization that had been hidden for many years surfaced, and everyone was curious.

Hou Jie specially disguised himself and wore a mask.

According to the location agreed in advance, we waited for the arrival of the main force before dawn.

After all, this is the last time!

When Li Gui and others arrived at the agreed location, they took a long time to recognize him.

"Young Master, you are so careful!"

"There's no other way. Even if I hand it all over, there will definitely be many people who want to get more from me. I have to be on guard."

Li Gui was confused when he heard these words. What on earth was worthy of your being so serious?

Hou Jie led the large group, making many turns and heading straight into the mountains. Li Gui and the others followed silently, with increasing doubts in their eyes.

Two hours later, we stopped at the door of the temporary warehouse.

Li Gui was speechless and looked around. It was just a barren mountain with nothing in it!

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Hou Jie, who smiled slightly.

Direct everyone to clear all the weeds and vines at the door.

Someone pointed to a large rock in front of them and ordered everyone to move it away, revealing a cave about one person tall.

Li Guicai finally understood that there was another world here.

Hou Jie had already made preparations in advance, leaving only gold, silver and a small amount of antiques here. Most of the precious antiques were in his own space.

Now they don't know how precious these are and how easy it is to lose them. Let him keep them!

The warehouse door was opened, Hou Jie entered first, and the others followed one after another.

When I got a clear look inside, I was dazzled by the densely packed huge boxes and piles of gold and silver in front of me.

"Comrade Li Gui, according to our rough estimate, there are tons of gold and tons of silver here. There are words on the gold and silver bricks, and most of them are from the United States, and a small part is from Japan."

Hou Jie led him to some boxes, opened one, and said solemnly, "This is a large amount of technical information stolen from the United States. I don't know what it is."

"As for how to deal with it, I'll leave it to you. As for the rest, you can figure it out yourself!"

"These things are very harmful to people! Too many people's lives have been lost to them."

Li Gui opened his mouth in surprise at such a huge fortune.

"No wonder this organization is so decisive and leaves no chance of survival."

Before he could finish being surprised, he heard his serious words again.

"Hi! So far, my mission has been completed. Comrade Li Gui, goodbye, never see you again."

Under his surprised gaze, Hou Jie turned around and left without any reluctance.

Li Gui and his men were stunned for a moment, then saluted solemnly behind Hou Jie. They turned around and got busy again when they could no longer see his figure.

Hou Jie didn't have to wait long. The next day, Li Gui came to Mu's house and solemnly handed Hou Jie a painting and a special medal of honor.

Even now, Li Gui still finds it hard to believe what Hou Jie and others have done.

"So much treasure, and you just give it up like that."

Hou Jie took it with a delighted look on his face, grinning. "Thank you very much, thank you very much."

He turned back to the room and took out a box, which contained all the deeds, shares and transaction amounts of Yongchang Grain Store and the textile factory outside the city.

He left behind only the old house and ancestral property.

"Please hand these over to your superiors when you return. I am not capable enough and I am too kind. If I keep these in my hands, they will only bring disaster. I'd better hand them over to you!"

"Fame, wealth, power and status are nothing to me. I just want to spend the rest of my life with my family."

Li Gui took it with both hands and stared at Hou Jie for a long time. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything. He handed it to his soldiers solemnly and turned to say goodbye.

Hou Jie watched them leave and murmured to himself, "From now on, I am just an ordinary worker and will have to live a hard life."

"The lives of ordinary people are pretty good, right?"

"With the amulet, what is there for him to fear?"

With so much gold reserves in the country, everything will change and Dragon Country will enter the fast lane.

It wasn't a wasted trip, as all the regrets from my previous life had been made up.

"I have no regrets about coming to China in this life, and I will still grow flowers in my next life."

He believes that with that person, nothing will go wrong.”

The heavy stone in Hou Jie's heart finally fell to the ground, and he felt relieved. He stretched his body and stretched his muscles, and he seemed to be much more relaxed.

Then he closed the door gently, feeling particularly relaxed and happy. He thought about the cute little guy at home, his face filled with happiness and anticipation.

Now, nothing is more important than coaxing my son.
