Therefore, he decided to support this young man named Hans once. Even if he failed, it would be better than taking the opportunity and not daring to seize it.

But in the end, it really failed. The Qing Dynasty rejected this transaction and was only willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to redeem the list.

But Hans was not discouraged. A year later, he found Bill Lane again and proposed a more crazy plan. At that time, Hans said to Bill Lane: "I have already found out that the Qing Dynasty really lost his founding jade seal. I don't need to say more about what this jade seal means to the Qing Dynasty. Now, this jade seal is in the Museum of France. As long as Mr. Lane can successfully run the Museum of France and come to New York to hold an exhibition, then I can ensure that I get the jade seal. In exchange for this, I think the Qing Dynasty has no reason to refuse."

Bill Lane is also considered a Chinese Communication, so he naturally knows the great importance of this founding jade seal, but this plan is relatively large, and Bill Lane shows his caution. After several months of investigation, Bill Lane finally judged that the plan proposals proposed by Hans were still quite feasible. So he summoned Hans and reached a cooperation agreement with him.

After nearly three years of operation, Bill Lane finally brought the Museum of France to New York, and Hans did not break his promise and obtained the jade seal without spending much money. Moreover, the Museum of France, as the owner, seemed not concerned about missing such a jade seal.

After obtaining the jade seal, Hans asked Bill Lane to prepare the supply of goods, and he opened his mouth to 5,000 tons. This scared Bill Lane. You must know that the total harvest of the entire South American continent is less than 5,000 tons per year. But driven by the dual power of interests and honors, Bill Lane still actively invested in the preparation of the supply of goods. The South American continent is his base, so the supply of goods is naturally up to him. With the company's inventory, Bill Lane finally got 1,500 tons of goods.

But Hans obviously won't be satisfied.

Bill Ryan, who was brave enough when he was young, met Hans, who was even more brave. So the two of them discussed an extremely bold way to organize the supply of goods. They colluded with pirates in the South China Sea and forcibly intercepted the opium transported from India and other places to China. In this way, they collected another 500 tons of goods.

For this supply of goods alone, Bill Ryan spent nearly five million dollars, almost emptying the entire company. The reason why Bill Ryan had such a big bet was that his own gambling was only one aspect, and the other more important reason was that Bill Ryan also encountered trouble. The United States of America set off a storm to eliminate drugs, and his company was at the center of the storm and had been targeted by agents from the Federal Anti-Drug Administration. He gave up all the goods, made a lot of money, and then turned around gorgeously, which was the little nine-nine that Bill Ryan beat in his heart.

Bill Lane was not completely relieved about Hans. For this reason, he specially arranged his daughter, Diane Lane to cooperate with Hans's operations, saying that it was cooperation, but in fact it was surveillance. Fortunately, throughout the process, Hans was moving forward in an orderly manner according to the plan, and the design and execution of each step was close to perfection. It was not until he received a telegram from another group of underworld surveillance that the cargo ship had left on time that Bill Lane was completely relieved.

With a profit of more than twenty times for five million, and it was about to succeed, no one could remain calm for anybody. The excitement lasted only two days, and Bill Lane got the news that a cargo ship departed from Kingsoft had a failure and encountered a rare storm, which caused the ship to sink.

Bill Lane was stunned immediately and quickly instructed his men to go to the port to check the number of the wrecked cargo ship. The query result reached Bill Lane. Bill Lane felt that his eyes were dark, he was unsteady, and fell to the ground.

Therefore, Diane Ryan could only see her father in the hospital.

"Ms. Diane Ryan, as your father's attending doctor, I think it's necessary to inform you of your father's true condition. The disease he suffered was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. We gave all our strength and saved your father's life with God's blessing. However, his future situation will be very bad, and he may never stand up again, and may even lose his normal thinking or language ability." When Diane Ryan met Bill Ryan in the hospital, it was the eighth day he was hospitalized, so the attending doctor was quite sure when introducing the condition and prognosis.

Diane Ryan was not sad because of this. Since the age of twelve, Bill Ryan has been constantly educating her daughter Diane Ryan. In this industry, no one will believe in tears. Sadness belongs to the weak. A real strong man must face all kinds of setbacks bravely. The only emotion he should have is the joy after success. Diane Ryan remembered her father's words, and there was another factor that made her not sad about her father's current situation, that is, she had no time to waste on such boring things.

My father could no longer rely on, but the company he founded was still there, and hundreds of company employees could help her complete revenge on Hans and retrieve the five million dollar opium.

However, when Diane Ryan came to the company's location, she was disappointed to find that the company had disintegrated.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the news of the sinking of the cargo ship was finally learned by several veterans of the company. Bill Lane's decision to gamble was unanimously opposed by the veterans. Now, the company has become an empty shell of unknown origin, and the leader almost passed away. Although he survived, he could only be with his disabled for the rest of his life. So, who is willing to stay?

"A true strong man must face all kinds of setbacks bravely. The only emotion he should have is the joy after success!" Diane Ryan, who was almost in despair, heard this advice from his father again.

Diane Ryan returned home with her lip tightly.

The seniors of the Peng family class failed to have time to fall in love with Alice after being shot in the arrow. At Alice's funeral, Luo Lie's condition was very worried. Zhao Daxin came to the hall several times in the following days to visit Luo Lie, but they were all turned away. However, Zhao Daxin was not angry about it, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, he came to the hall again.

"Have you come to see me?" Luo Lie was sitting in front of the hall building and having tea with Cao Bin. When he saw Zhao Daxin, he quickly gave him a seat. "I happened to think of something to ask you, but you came."

Seeing that Luo Lie's mood had returned to normal, Zhao Daxin prepared a lot of comforting words, naturally he was unwilling to say more, so as not to mention Alice that it made Luo Lie sad again.

Zhao Daxin asked Cao Bin, then sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What do you want to ask me?"

Before Luo Lie could speak, Cao Bin stood up first and said, "You brothers are chatting first. I will go back to the study room upstairs to handle some hall affairs. If Daxin is free in the evening, please stay for supper."

Zhao Daxin replied: "No, Brother Bin, the child is too young. Luo Lie's master sister-in-law can't take care of him alone. I will go back after saying a few words to Luo Lie."

Cao Bin nodded and replied, "Well, I'm not far away anyway, so I'll always come and go."

After Cao Bin went upstairs, Luo Lie took out a bag of cigarettes, took out one, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said, "I used to see Brother Biao like this, but I wondered what good about this cigarette? But I don't know what happened, but now I feel very at sniffing the smell of the cigarette."

Zhao Daxin smiled and said, "You won't be addicted to smoking by Brother Biao, are you?"

Luo Lie took a sip of tea, put down the cigarette, and said, "No, I just wanted to smell the unlit smoke. I still can't stand the scent of the lit smoke."

Zhao Daxin said: "Didn't you just say that you have something to ask me? What's the matter?"

Luo Lie smiled casually and said, "Senior Brother, when did you know the master?"

Zhao Daxin responded without hesitation: "March of the 21st year of Guangxu, to this day, there have been thirteen years and five months."

Luo Lie asked again: "Do you know that before you, the master had accepted an apprentice, but later he heard that he was expelled from the master."

Zhao Daxin was stunned and asked in a daze: "Who did you hear?"

Luo Lie said: "Tell me first, is this happening?"

Zhao Daxin lowered his head and said nothing, just focusing on fiddling with the teacup on the low table.

Luo Lie sighed lightly and said, "It seems that this matter is not groundless." After looking at Zhao Daxin again, Luo Lie continued, "Senior Brother, Alice was tragically killed. Although she did not worship our master, I believe that you must have regarded her as your junior sister, right?"

Zhao Daxin raised his head and replied, "It's not just me, but your other senior brothers and sisters also regard her as their junior sister."

Luo Lie nodded, seemed to wipe the corner of his eyes inadvertently, then smiled again and said, "I want to avenge Alice, but I wonder if the senior brother is willing to help me?"

Zhao Daxin was silent for a while before speaking: "Okay, although Master repeatedly reminded me not to reveal this matter, it is related to the major issue of avenging my junior sister. I think Master should be able to understand me."

Luo Liesurong said: "Thank you, senior brother."

Zhao Daxin sorted out his thoughts and began to say: "His surname is Geng, and his single name is the Chinese character of our Han people. When I joined my master's sect, he had been practicing flying swords with his master for three years. From this point of view, Geng Han was the eldest brother of his master." Zhao Daxin said, and couldn't help but show a look of regret. "Geng Han brought his skills to his master. Although he was hiding deeply, he was finally discovered by his master. He secretly pursued him and found that Geng Han actually came from the palace. He was originally a guard in the palace. You know, our master's sect is a sect. The most taboo thing about this sect is to have something to do with the government. Therefore, the master reluctantly drove Geng Han out of the sect."

After a sigh, Zhao Daxin continued: "The third year I entered the master's sect, my family suffered misfortune and urgently needed money. And my master didn't know where to travel. I just followed my master to practice flying swords, but I didn't know how to steal the sect skills at all. So in the face of all difficulties, Geng Han found me and said that as long as I promised to be his eyeliner, he would give me some money to help me. I was blinded by lard and actually agreed to him, but later I realized that he was actually from the Internal Machinery Bureau."

Luo Lie was shocked and said, "Inner Bureau? Then Geng Han is actually Li Xier's subordinate?"

Zhao Daxin said: "Nominally, Geng Hancai should be the leader of the Internal Machinery Bureau, but Li Xier, with his godfather, has already put Geng Han in a pretext."

Luo Lie said: "So, Li Xier from the Internal Machinery Bureau came to the United States twice. Are you informing him of the news? "

Zhao Daxin smiled bitterly and said, "I never knew Li Xier, nor had I ever informed him. In the summer of five years and early spring today, Geng Han was contacting me. He tricked me and said that my master returned to China but was arrested by the internal bureau. If I could follow his instructions, he would rescue his master. I am so stupid, I would actually believe him."

Luo Lie sighed: "Why didn't you say these things earlier?"

Zhao Daxin smiled bitterly and said, "I have sworn to my master that I will never tell Geng Han's affairs. If the master had not passed away and you have tied this matter to avenging Alice, I would never have spit out a word."

Luo Lie said: "It's hard for you, senior brother, but I want to know one more thing. Did Geng Han contact you later? Or did he agree with you what kind of contact information he made?"

Zhao Daxin shook his head indifferently and said, "No, he always looked for me, and the way he found me is different, either a note or a sentence, but in the end he still had to find a hidden place to meet and talk. When he was in Los Angeles, he arranged for Hu Yiqing to bring me the words, and asked me to use the excuse to buy a ticket for Hu Yiqing to go to the port to meet him."

Luo Lie said suspiciously: "Hu Yiqing brings you a message? Why didn't I hear it?"

Zhao Daxin smiled bitterly and said, "You went to buy food for him, of course you can't hear it. When you come back, what you should say has been finished long ago. What you see and hear is just a show."

Luo Lie took a deep breath, vomited heavily, pondered for a moment, and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for telling me so much. Maybe you have been asking me about how I know the existence of Geng Han, and why I have to ask him the bottom of it, right?"

Zhao Daxin nodded and said, "I really want to know, but if you are inconvenient to say it, I won't ask."

Luo Lie made a new tea, poured Zhao Daxin, picked up a cigarette, put it under his nose and sniffed it a few times, then he responded: "These days, Brother Bin, Brother Biao, and I have been led by the nose. There is a key figure among them. He said his name is Wu Houdun. Brother Biao identified him as Nan Wuying among the two ghosts of the thief who are as famous as his master. Wu Houdun recognized Nan Wuying's identity and also gained the trust of Brother Biao and me. But now it seems that we have been deceived by him. I am recalling this incident these two days. I remembered the day after he lived in Anliangtang, and when he was drinking tea here, he mentioned the master's first apprentice inadvertently and as if he had a destination. Senior brother, it may be that I was too worried, but I still felt that he said that this person must have his purpose."

Zhao Daxin said: "The eldest brother is stupid by nature and cannot help you make judgments, but the eldest brother can tell you that Wu Houdun is not a Na Wuying at all."

Luo Lie said in a daze: "The elder brother said so surely. Could it be that you have seen that Nan Wuying?"

Zhao Daxin showed a proud look and said, "Not only have you seen me, but you have seen me, Xiaoqi, and Nan Wuying loves you very much."

Luo Lie was shocked and murmured: "You mean Master..."

Zhao Daxin nodded and said, "Bei Guidance Nan Wuying is actually our master. Although our master is from the north, he often travels to the south and occasionally does one or two major cases. There are differences between the north and the south, and the master's methods of committing crimes are completely different. Therefore, no one can imagine the cases that Master did in the south. He can only imagine another thief genius out of thin air and gave him a nickname that is as famous as Master. Bei Guidance Nan Wuying, that's how it came about."

Luo Lie showed a rare smile and said happily: "That's right. I have been thinking that if Nan Wuying is as famous as his master, he must attach great importance to his reputation. How could he do such dirty things like Wu Houdun? Besides, I heard that someone can be as famous as his master, and I felt uncomfortable. Now, I'm finally relieved!"

Zhao Daxin also smiled and said, "Your senior brother feels much more relieved when you can see your smile. Xiaoqi, Senior brother violated the oath he had made to Master. If Master blames him, you have to say a few more good things for Senior brother!"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Don't worry, if Master's board is cut down, Luo Lie's butt will never fall on the eldest brother. By the way, Senior Brother, have you ever had a fight with Geng Han? If you don't say anything else, let's just talk about flying knives. Who is stronger than him?"

Zhao Daxin said frankly: "It is said that diligence can make up for the clumsy, but when it comes to practicing martial arts, clumsy may be able to make up for it, but no matter how much you can make up for the talent, Geng Han is clearly a genius who practices martial arts. In terms of talent and qualifications, I'm afraid even you can't compare with him."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Listen to you, it's like I, Luo Lie, is very talented. Forget it, senior brother, I am about the same as you. I have to rely on hard work to make up for these four things that have survived to this day."

Luo Lie and Zhao Daxin chatted for more than half an hour. During this period, they asked about Geng Han's height, skin color and appearance characteristics intentionally or unintentionally. Zhao Daxin also told the truth.

After seeing off Zhao Daxin, Luo Lie went upstairs and came to Cao Bin's study.

"How is it? Are there any gains?" Hearing Luo Lie's knock on the door, Cao Bin put down the work at hand. When Luo Lie walked into the house, Cao Bin had already arrived next to the sofa and waited.

Luo Lie nodded and responded: "It was both expected and unexpected. I guess that Wu Houdun mentioned my master's first apprentice, but I didn't expect that Hans might be the first apprentice who was expelled from the master by my master. The man was Geng Han, who was the biggest leader of the Internal Machinery Bureau, but later it was undermined by Li Xier."

"Sit down and talk slowly." Cao Bin sat down with Luo Lie, habitually put on a cigar, and said while smoking: "If Geng Han can face Hans, then many doubts will be solved."

Luo Lie retelled what Zhao Daxin said in a concise manner, and finally said: "My senior brother said Geng Han's height, body shape and appearance characteristics can match Hans, so I guess Hans is Geng Han. But there is another thing I can't understand. Why did Wu Houdun reveal this important information to us?"

Cao Bin was smoking a cigar and thoughtfully. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Luo Lie sitting there, then quickly got up and asked Mrs. Zhou to make tea for Luo Lie. After returning to sit down, he said, "Let's sort out one thing at a time and figure it out everything clearly, and your questions may be solved."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, Brother Bin."

Cao Bin knocked the cigar in his hand off the ashtray and said, "Let's talk about Wu Houdun's identity. He can deceive you and A Biao's trust. There are only two things. One is that no one in the world has seen Nan Wuying. That is just an incarnation of your master's old ghost. Only your master and your elder brother know this secret. The other is that Wu Houdun stole the list that the internal machine bureau had already obtained in hand five years ago. If he didn't have a unique skill, he would never have committed such a shocking case. But it's normal to think about it now."

Mrs. Zhou brought tea in. Luo Lie took it and put it on the coffee table. After Mrs. Zhou left, she smiled and said, "It's really common to have Geng Han as an insider."

Cao Bin continued: "They joined forces to steal the list, not for Mr. Sun and others. If they just wanted to fight the Qing Dynasty, they wouldn't have to travel across the ocean to America. I always felt that there was something wrong with the legends about this matter. Now I should understand that Hans or Geng Han might have started planning today's plan five years ago, and that list is probably the bargaining chip he intended to trade with the Qing Dynasty."

Luo Lie suddenly said: "That means it makes sense. The Qing Dynasty must have rejected Hans' deal if the list was not enough to make such a big concession. Therefore, that list has become a burden for Hans. It is better to just throw it over to our Anliangtang."

Cao Bin took a deep breath and said, "But Geng Han didn't give up and began to have the idea of ​​the founding jade seal. We cannot yet determine what method he used to obtain the jade seal, but it is certain that he must have reached an agreement with the Qing Dynasty on this jade seal, so he began to implement this plan."

Luo Lie continued: "In order to achieve his goal of embezzling this batch of opium, he must create a powerful enemy, and this powerful enemy must be of the level of Nan Wuying. Although Wu Houdun is a fake, his skills in stealing the sect are also first-class, and he just happened to play Nan Wuying."

Cao Bin nodded slightly and said, "Just one Nan Wuying is not enough to threaten that batch of opium, so they must push our Anliangtang to the forefront. Geng Han calculated that as long as we hear the message of the founding jade seal, we will definitely not sit idly by. We are also worried that Wu Houdun could not deceive me, Cao Bin, so we used the assassination of Lao Gu to transfer me from Jinshan."

Luo Lie was a little excited and snatched: "Brother Biao and I were indeed deceived by Wu Houdun. We followed him to steal a fake jade seal and came back. Then we left under the pretext of not wanting to take risks, forcing Brother Biao and me to give birth to the worst strategy of bombing the ship. We were worried that Brother Biao and I were not so determined or that something else went wrong in the middle, so Wu Houdun got on the ship and performed a good show to the last scene."

Cao Bin still looked like a sinking water, saying, "This was originally an extremely perfect plan. The strong enemy finally appeared on the freighter. After a desperate fight, although the strong enemy fled in panic, they also detonated the bomb. The bomb sank the cargo ship, and all the people on the ship were killed. Hans only needed to hide the opium. Even if the cargo owner chased him to Jinshan, he could only sigh and admit that he was unlucky. After the calm, Hans could completely change his identity, put the opium on the freighter calmly and came to the Qing Dynasty to complete the transaction. However, there must be a mistake in this. Not only did Hans escape from the cargo ship, but the cargo owner woman also escaped. She saw through Hans's evil plan, but in Jinshan she could not deal with Hans alone, so she came to the warn us with the Indian poisonous arrow that assassinated Lao Gu."

Luo Lie said: "It should be so, but my question has not been resolved. What is the purpose of Wu Houdun revealing Hans' true identity clue to us?"

Cao Bin pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so he could only say: "This is not important! At present, we don't need too much action. We just need to monitor all parts of Kingsoft and not leave a chance to transport the opium out of Geng Han and Wu Houdun. So sooner or later, they will surface, including the woman who shot Alice!"

A trace of ferocious look flashed on Luo Lie's face, and he gritted his teeth and said hatred: "I must capture her alive, let her kneel in front of Alice's spiritual throne for ten days and ten nights, and let her taste the taste of the poisonous arrow in person."
To be continued...
