The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Although he knew that many people in the Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the devils, Jiang Cheng was really unwilling to speculate that all the wealthy businessmen and gentry in the entire provincial capital were leaning towards the Japanese.

"Haha, that's a good feeling—"

Jiang Cheng felt like cursing, but he suppressed his anger and sneered, "Ms. Lin, why don't you cooperate with them? If you are so unsociable, you will bring disaster upon yourself."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's sharp words, even Hai Huixin couldn't help but feel nervous.

She quietly glanced at Jiang Cheng and patted Lin Xiaoyue on the elbow: "Don't take it personally, Sister Xiaoyue. This is how Master Jiang usually speaks. He doesn't mean any harm..."

"In fact, Master Jiang wants to know, Sister Xiaoyue, why you are unwilling to cooperate with them. From your point of view, it is definitely more beneficial to be on the same side with the people in the Chamber of Commerce, and it will not cause any trouble."

With Lin Xiaoyue's intelligence, she fully understood that the two were playing the good cop and the bad cop.

But she also understood that if she did not cooperate with Jiang Cheng now, she and her daughter would not be able to find a way out of the danger they were in.

Lin Xiaoyue bit her teeth lightly, sighed and said softly: "Master Jiang, I want to surrender to you, why do you have to humiliate me?"

Jiang Cheng looked at her calmly without saying anything; but Lin Xiaoyue seemed to have made up her mind and stood up suddenly. She said something like "thank you for taking me in" in a voice almost as thin as a mosquito's, and turned to leave.

Hai Huixin didn't dare to say anything when she saw this, but she still turned her anxious gaze to Jiang Cheng.

"Ms. Lin, there's no need for you to be so tough, right?"

Jiang Cheng pushed the sofa and stood up, speaking loudly to the woman who was leaving.

Turning her head suddenly, the beautiful young lady's eyes were filled with a watery light.

Yiyi sighed, and Lin Xiaoyue turned around: "I know that you are angry, Mr. Jiang... In fact, when I just returned to China, I also heard some of your deeds. I know that you are different from many warlords. You came to Heilongjiang Province for the good of everyone——"

"Forget it, let's get down to business."

Seeing a hint of impatience in Jiang Cheng's eyes, Lin Xiaoyue changed the subject and got down to business.

It turned out that after completing her studies, Lin Xiaoyue settled in Nanyang and helped her father develop the spice and herb business there.

Upon hearing the news that her father suddenly became seriously ill, although she rushed back as soon as possible, her father's illness was so serious that Lin Xiaoyue still didn't get to see him for the last time.

Even though I rushed back, my father's funeral was still completed.

Not only did they not see the person, but they also left behind a lot of bad debts and a mess.

"I don't know what means they used... My father never told me that our family business owed so much money."

At this point, Lin Xiaoyue's facial features were twisted together with worry:
Not only did a group of "creditors" come to the door with various notes signed by my father, but my father's money in two banks was also seized on the grounds that "there is a large amount of debt and cash cannot be withdrawn" -

Jiang Cheng took out a cigarette as if nothing had happened and looked at the other person with a distant look.

The debt must be repaid in cash, but the bank refused to give her the money even though she owed the money... The key point is that there was no such thing as Internet information these days, so how did the bank know that the Lin family had a "large debt"?

There must be someone behind this, forcing this smart and capable young lady to submit.

In this situation, Lin Xiaoyue had no choice but to look for her father's friends to find a solution... But that's how it is, when they are in glory, everyone surrounds them;

When trouble arises and you plan to borrow some money for emergency, these people will be hiding from you as if you were avoiding the plague.

In such a helpless situation, Mi Zhongjing's "initiative" to lend a helping hand was extremely valuable.

First, he helped the Lin family get rid of their creditors, then helped her deal with the business, and even brought this young lady into the Chamber of Commerce to manage internal affairs, giving her a lot of face.

But before Lin Xiaoyue had time to rejoice that her father's friend helped her through the difficult times, Mi Zhongjing's true colors were revealed - "This is what happened... Not only did he want me to poison you, but he also wanted me to sacrifice my chastity when I had no choice."

At this point, she looked pale as she stole a glance at Hai Huixin beside her, smiled bitterly and said, "It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

So this is what she meant by insisting on bringing a lady along to sit in.

Jiang Cheng tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest of the sofa: "So, does Miss Lin agree with my findings?"

What he said was that Snow Fox had previously discovered that Lin's father's death was most likely related to Mi Zhongjing.

"Master Jiang, you want to use me to get rid of these profiteers who are cooperating with the Japanese, right?"

Lin Xiaoyue suddenly looked back at him and continued with a resolute expression, "Of course, I also want to avenge my father——"

Jiang Cheng said nothing.

But he turned his eyes away and stared at the other person in a trance.

Hai Huixin was shocked by the gaze between the two, but before she could say anything, Jiang Cheng suddenly leaned forward and stretched out his right hand to Lin Xiaoyue:
"I will help you get revenge, but you have to help me find out all the people who have had financial dealings with the Japanese;"

"I will defeat all of them in one fell swoop...After I succeed, I will help you, Lin Xiaoyue, become the president of the Qiqihar Chamber of Commerce!"

The other party was startled, then quickly stretched out his right hand and shook hands with him vigorously.

"It's okay not to be the guild president—"

She gritted her teeth and said, "As long as I can catch the murderer who murdered my father."

…………

The Lin family encountered an assassin. Even if there were a few guards at home, they definitely could not go back to live there.

The Western-style building that Jiang Cheng bought in Qiqihar is not small, so it is not a big deal for the orphan and widow of the Duolin family to live there.

"Let someone spread the truth. Say that the Lin family was attacked by assassins in the early morning, and the mother and daughter are staying at my place for a while."

Jiang Cheng went out with his wife, and told Li Shitou who was guarding the door, "Go and do it when it's daybreak."

Watching him salute and walk away, Hai Huixin rubbed her hands together, feeling anxious and embarrassed.

"I understand that if this woman stays at home, she might cause trouble, but if we want to take over Qiqihar... we have to take over the merchants."

Unlike Jilin, Wu Taixun's control over Heilongjiang Province is too weak.

Assuming this situation, if these people are pushed too hard, I'm afraid a lot of trouble will arise.

"That's not what I meant... It's just that as a woman, I feel that Miss Lin is really pitiful. Her father was murdered, and there are so many bad people plotting against her."

Hearing her words, Jiang Cheng turned his gaze away immediately.

"You think I'm taking advantage of Miss Lin, right?"

His face suddenly darkened.

It was not just Lin Xiaoyue. After Cai Chanjuan died, she also felt sad for a while.

"I understand - in this cannibalistic world, if you don't eat others, you will be eaten by others, but I," (End of this chapter)
