Lost and Spy

Chapter 3478 Two Families
Peng Bilan told the story of what happened.

Gesoga is an upright man who never bows to these evil forces.

When the Japanese occupied the Philippines, Guesoga joined the resistance organization and performed bravely.

After the liberation of Manila, Gesoga was tired of the power struggles and intrigues within the resistance organization, so he retired.

But when you retire and return to the countryside, you have to go home and the whole family has to eat and live.

During his years in the Resistance, he hadn't earned a penny.

At this time, Peng Bilan's company in Manila was recruiting staff, and Gesoga applied for the job.

Coincidentally, Peng Bilan happened to go there that day.

She was impressed by Gesoga's qualities at first sight and decided to hire him on the spot.

It happened that Peng Bilan was in urgent need of people at that time, and she was so bold that she even appointed Gesoga as the manager of a branch company.

Seeing that his boss valued and trusted him so much, Gesoga was extremely grateful. He also held the idea of ​​"a gentleman will die for his friend" and worked hard for Peng Bilan.

Although this person does not have strong business capabilities, he is loyal to his duties and always completes the tasks assigned to him meticulously.

And this is the main reason why Peng Bilan took a fancy to her.

Inevitably, the branch company that Gesoga was in charge of was also blackmailed by those thugs.

But how could Gesoga, who had fought the Japanese to his death, surrender to these ruffians?
He flatly rejected all unreasonable demands and immediately sent someone to call the police.

However, the police in Manila have always been in cahoots with these gangsters. Not only will they not help the weak, but they also tell these things to the gangsters.

The thugs also know that these companies have foreign backgrounds, so they naturally dare not act rashly, but it is different for the families of the locals.

That very night, someone threw a gasoline bottle into Gesoga's house. If the fire had not been discovered and extinguished in time, the whole house would have been burned down.

This is just the beginning.

A day later, his wife and children were robbed when they were out, and they were also beaten.

Before leaving, those men told his wife to go back and tell her husband that this was just a warning and it wouldn't be so easy next time.

Although Gesoga himself was not afraid, he had to consider the safety of his family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gesoga had no choice but to submit his resignation to Peng Bilan.

"I have calmed him down for now." Peng Bilan said after giving a brief introduction of the situation, "But if this situation cannot be resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid it will escalate and get out of control."

"These people are really getting bolder and bolder." Meng Shaoyuan sneered when he heard this: "They are just testing our limits. If we only care about making money and ignore this matter, these people will become more and more bold."

"Yes." Peng Bilan said, "It's not just our company. Other companies have also encountered similar situations. The attitude adopted by most of them is to turn a blind eye as long as the company can still operate normally."

Of course, making money comes first for these people.

What does the life and death of the employees they hired have to do with them?
On the contrary, they also expected that the ruffians would never dare to cause European and American companies to suffer any major losses.

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "Who are the leaders of these hooligans and their protectors, the police?"

"The leader of the gangsters is called Tatako."

Peng Bilan immediately said: "This man is also a local who was born and raised here. His ancestors have been doing this business for a long time. Including his cousins, there are seven of them in his family, known as the 'Seven Tigers of Manila'. They have always been doing evil in Manila.

From the Spanish to the Americans, and then to the Japanese, they really did everything except good things. Especially during the Japanese rule, they colluded with the Japanese, and the Japanese also wanted to use them as their eyes and ears, so they gave them a lot of convenience.

In order to make them willingly serve as traitors to the Philippines, the Japanese even granted them some special rights, which made them even more arrogant. They persecuted countless local people, but the local people were cowardly and could only swallow their anger. "

Meng Shaoyuan sneered in his heart, isn't this the character trait of Filipinos?
In front of the strong, they wag their tails and beg for mercy, wishing they could follow behind like a dog.

But when you treat him with kindness, he will regard this kindness as weakness.

Once he is really hurt, he will retreat back into his turtle shell.

This is the real Philippines.

Peng Bilan had no idea what Meng Shaoyuan was thinking, so she just continued, "After the recovery of Manila, a large number of local officials who had worked for the puppet government were re-employed. In fact, it was just a change of name but not substance, so this gave the Tataco family an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Since most of the local officials were left over from the puppet government, Tatako was very familiar with them, and after bribing them, no one investigated their crimes during the Japanese colonial rule. Occasionally, there were honest people who reported, but they were intimidated without exception.

Because of this, Tatako continued to act recklessly in the local area, and no one dared to control them. They not only bribed local officials, but also bribed the US troops stationed in the area. Master, you also know that Americans are not very willing to intervene in these matters. "

At this point, he took a breath and said, "Their biggest protector is a local police captain named Busaizong. Don't underestimate him because he is just a police captain, but he also comes from a big family. There are congressmen and tax officials in this family.

A large part of the money that Tatako obtained through irregular means was given to the Busaizong family. For such a cash cow, the Busaizong family must of course do their utmost to protect it. Therefore, Tatako became more and more rampant. "

"Okay, very good." Meng Shaoyuan actually smiled: "These people are really lawless. Do they really think they can do whatever they want in Manila? Do they really think that no one can control them?
I am the King of Manila, and something like this happened right under my nose? What kind of position do these people put me, the King of Manila, in? Tataco? Busaizong? I suddenly have a strong interest in these two families! "
