The Bravest

In the evening, under Ye Wulian's resentful eyes and Haitang's envious gaze, Sun Yuelan hugged Lin Jie's arm tightly and walked into the house.

"Can we have dinner now?" Lin Jie wanted to break this strange atmosphere and found a lame topic.

"We thought you and Sister Yuelan wouldn't come back for dinner, so we ate first. Otherwise, I'll make some noodles for you to eat now. There's no vegetables at home." Haitang wanted to go to the kitchen obediently, but was stopped by Ye Wulian.

"Why are you so honest? Do you think they look like they haven't eaten? They have only been out for two days, they won't starve to death. Let's go upstairs and rest, and don't worry about them." After saying that, Ye Wulian pulled Haitang upstairs.

On the stairs, Haitang looked back at Lin Jie reluctantly and smiled.

"Tsk, look at how stingy she is. Haitang is actually well-behaved and sensible. Do you want to go and coax her? I can let her go for once tonight." Sun Yuelan's victorious face was clearly revealed.

"No, do I need to coax my wife? I'll accompany you tonight, and it will be another perfect day, so you won't say I'm stingy and afraid of my wife." Lin Jie brags with his head held high. What else can he do? Leave the one in front of him and coax the one that has already run away? He can't develop this habit, otherwise everyone will learn to run away in the future, and he won't know which one to chase.

Sun Yuelan's provocation was successful, her eyes turned into crescents, and she started to act like a spoiled child again. "Honey, I'm tired, please carry me upstairs, I can't walk..."

……

Lin Jie and Sun Yuelan indulged themselves for two days, but the price they paid was that they stayed out the night twice more before they managed to appease him. Seeing that Lin Jie seemed to have lost some weight, the three women began to cook all kinds of supplements for him in different ways.

Sun Yuelan even got two Siberian tiger penises for Lin Jie to soak in wine, which amazed the other two women.

Such a happy day was soon broken by Gangcun. On this day, Lin Jie was summoned to the gendarmerie headquarters by Gangcun by phone.

When Lin Jie rushed to Gangcun's office, he found Ono was there too. After greeting him, Lin Jie also sat down on the sofa.

"Come on, Mr. Lin, have some tea. I have good news to tell you. I have been appointed as a member of the material control leadership group under the Cleanup Committee." Gangcun said proudly.

"Great, this position should be quite lucrative, but how many people are in charge of this leadership group, and who is in charge?" Lin Jie was very happy. There were two advantages to being in charge of this aspect. First, he and his men did not have to participate in military operations, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of facing the anti-Japanese armed forces in the guerrilla zone directly. Second, Lin Jie could inadvertently hold back a little when looting supplies. At least the area he was in charge of would not be plundered so much that he could still get by.

"I am a representative from the Military Police Headquarters, and I have a representative from the garrison. Chen Gongbo from Shanghai will also send a representative. We will form a three-person leadership group to supervise material control. However, we have the fewest people and are only responsible for inspection and supervision. The work will be handled by the Imperial Army directly under the garrison. In addition, there will be spies from other secret agencies who will have the power of monitoring, so we can't go too far at that time." Gangcun gave a brief explanation.

"Oh, this is quite complicated. Cross-supervision is indeed a bit troublesome. What is Ono responsible for? Is their logistics department in charge of military supplies also involved?" Lin Jie was surprised that Ono appeared here today.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin, I think you're living too comfortable a life. I heard that you've been staying out all night lately, having fun outside!" Ono laughed out loud.

"Don't laugh, Xiaoye. This is easy to be misunderstood. I just took a break from my busy schedule and took my wife out to relax. Let's talk about what you are responsible for." Lin Jie didn't expect that he took his wife out for a romantic time these days, and even Xiaoye heard about it. He was too careless. If the Military Control Commission caught his travel patterns, they might really take action again.

"Haha, stop joking. I am in charge of collecting supplies, but I don't have the final say alone. It's similar to you, and there is cross-supervision." No wonder Gangcun brought Ono here. If he wanted to gain benefits from it, Ono's cooperation was indispensable.

"That's why I invited Ono-kun here today, so that we can discuss how to better complete the work in the clean-up operation. Of course, we can't work for nothing, right? We still have to get the benefits we deserve, but we must pay attention to the methods and methods, and not let others catch us." Gangcun laid out what happened today.

"Then how many people should we mobilize? What is the specific work?" This is the main point that Lin Jie is concerned about.

"I plan to form a team of 20 people. You will provide 15 people and Michiko will provide 5 people. We will form five teams of four people. One Japanese will lead three Chinese people. The five teams will supervise five small areas. Lin-san and Michiko will each lead a few people to patrol. Ono-kun just needs to provide convenience when receiving the goods. Ono-kun has been in the Quartermaster Department for so long, he should have his own staff."

"Don't worry, Gangcun-kun, I have no problem with this, but the quantity still has to match. As for the quality of the things inside, it's hard to say whether they are in short supply, right?" Xiaoye made his fortune by selling inferior goods as good ones and cheap goods as expensive ones. Of course, he also had to rely on local bosses like Lin Jie to sell the stolen goods, and Lin Jie had Gangcun's support, so no one checked his goods in and out. The cooperation between the three has always been pleasant.

Damn, Lin Jie almost spit a mouthful of tea on Gangcun's face. Damn, each group of my people is equipped with a Japanese spy to watch, and Gangcun has not relaxed the monitoring of Lin Jie at all. Fortunately, Lin Jie's liaison is his wife, and Sun Yuelan is on his side, otherwise Lin Jie would have been exposed long ago.

"Since Gangcun-kun has made all the arrangements, I will just do as he says." Lin Jie had no objection, nor did he dare to object.

"Mr. Lin, don't try to be lazy. When the time comes, you have to find a place to hide the supplies we get. Don't use the previous warehouse. You Chinese people are known to have three burrows as the cunning rabbit!" Gangcun said with a smile.

"Hey, Gangcun-kun, we also have a saying that you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

"Hahahaha" the three of them laughed at the same time.

"By the way, you may have to be stationed there for a few months. Although you can go back to the city, other people will still have opinions if you are often away from your post. So you have to arrange things at home in advance, and we also have to maintain our business." Gangcun mentioned a practical problem. Lin Jie will participate in the clean-up operation and will definitely have to be stationed there, so his affairs in Shanghai must be arranged.

"Mr. Gangcun, Mr. Ono, don't worry. The business has been handed over to Yuelan for management for nearly half a year. I will leave enough staff by then, so there will be no problem. But I need you two to take care of my welfare home, especially Mr. Gangcun. You are the chairman of the board of directors." Lin Jie was worried that the welfare home would be in trouble when he was not in the city.

"Don't worry about that. I will visit here frequently to make sure nothing goes wrong. I will keep an eye on your nest for you." Gangcun waved his hand nonchalantly. Lin Jie didn't even need to take care of this. Their secret warehouse was right in the basement of the welfare home.
