Invisible Guardian: The Biggest Winner

"idiot!"

Shio Muto slapped the table angrily, and scolded in Japanese: "The matter has come to this point, why do you still want to get away with it? Do you really think I don't know anything?"

"Thick and slanting."

Secretary Takata's heart skipped a beat, his feet softened instantly, and he knelt on the carpet, kowtowing non-stop: "I was blinded by money for a while, and that's why I made such a stupid move."

"What I hate most is not people who are greedy for money, what I hate the most is people who are both greedy for money and incompetent."

Shio Muto opened the box, picked up the 94 pistol from the file, and loaded it with a click.

"Consul! Consul!! Please give me one more chance to devote myself to the Emperor, and let me serve the Great Japanese Empire!"

Seeing the black muzzle of the gun pointing at him, and feeling the threat of death approaching, Secretary Takata begged bitterly.

Seeing his useless appearance, Muto Shio was even more annoyed, and he shouted coldly:

"Takata-kun! You let me down so much. How could the Japanese Empire come out with a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death like you! You are really a disgrace to the empire! If you don't execute you, I'm sorry for the emperor!"

"Consul Muto!!"

Secretary Takada yelled in panic, and then a gunshot killed him.

Looking at the corpse slowly falling to the ground in disgust, Muto Shio regretted a bit, he should not have executed him in this place, his blood stained his own carpet.

"Come here, clean him up... and change the carpet."

Muto Zhixiong put the pistol back and ordered other men.

Then he picked up Lu Wen's detailed information as if nothing had happened, especially seeing that the other party had no precedent of extortion, which made him very interested.

So a few days later, Muto Zhixiong sent an invitation to Lu Wen for a meal.

To this, Lu Wen naturally agreed.

An overly long table, Muto Shixiong and Lu Wen sat on each side.

"Section Chief Lu, I came here today to ask you how the investigation of Director Liang's case is going?"

Shio Muto asked casually, holding a knife and fork in his hand.

"Things have already begun."

Lu Wen put the fresh and tender beef into his mouth, and said, "Thanks to the help of the people under the consul, we saved a lot of effort for the Secret Service."

"According to eyewitness reports, Director Liang brought his secretary with him when he came in. We have shown the portrait to witnesses. Besides, Director Liang likes to bring his secretary with him when he attends various banquets. So that female companion should be her secretary."

"This secretary is surnamed Liu, and he followed Director Liang two months ago."

"Our people found Secretary Liu's yard at two o'clock in the morning, but there was no one in the yard. We searched everything in the yard and found no suspicious items or letters, but people living nearby said that in the middle of the night, eleven or two At midnight, someone seemed to have visited Secretary Liu's house."

"The Secret Service has issued a warrant for Secretary Liu and is arresting him."

"We can't find the specific information about Secretary Liu. Director Liang hates other people investigating him and the people around him, so I guess Secretary Liu's name is not real."

"Mostly, as Consul Muto said, he arrested the military commander, and then the military commander took advantage of his lust and retaliated against him."

"Ah."

After hearing this, Muto Zhixiong nodded again and again: "Section Chief Lu is very efficient. In just a few days, the situation is almost resolved."

Lu Wen laughed at himself and said, "It's nothing special, anyone from the secret service can get this done."

"Chief Lu, don't need to be humble." Shio Muto put down the knife, wiped his mouth with the napkin, and said slowly: "I heard the people below say about Section Chief Lu, he has the ability and means... the most important thing is, Principled."

Lu Wen also put down the knife, picked up the napkin and said, "I don't understand what Consul Muto said, can you clarify?"

Zhixiong Muto said: "I negotiated a business with Director Liang some time ago, but now he has been killed by the anti-Japanese elements, and this business cannot continue. The relationship between Section Chief Lu and Director Liang is good. , I want to continue this business with you."

Sure enough, as I thought, Director Liang started a business with Shixiong Muto secretly. No wonder he would so generously spend one hundred thousand dollars to shut himself up.

Lu Wen didn't immediately agree, but said, "Consul Muto, I'm just a small section chief. I have limited power, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do much business with you."

"Hahaha. Section Chief Lu really likes to joke." Muto Zhixiong said with a smile: "With Section Chief Lu's contacts, it is not difficult at all to become the section chief. Besides, I just make some fresh drinks and opium plasters. Things like this are in short supply in the Shanghai market, and if we don’t do it, there are still many people who will.”

"Consul Muto, I'm a little curious." Lu asked, "The chief of the Secret Service is more powerful than me. Why didn't you go to him, but came to me instead?"

Muto Zhixiong said: "I have already said it before, Section Chief Lu. You are different from others, you have principles... I like to cooperate with people with principles. Of course, I cooperated with Director Liang before because I listened to others. Xin, I have dealt with that money-grubbing slave."

After a pause, Muto Zhixiong said: "To be honest, Mr. Lu, I hate corruption, but I also know...in the officialdom, corruption cannot be eradicated. The rich will gather with the powerful; The people who will try to make money for themselves.”

"So, I have no prejudice against corruption, but I hate corrupt but incompetent people the most... These people are just moths, and they are all harmful to the development of anything! What do you think?"

Chapter 0040 a far-reaching choice

"I agree with Consul Muto."

Lu Wen thought about it, and replied: "The price of goods in Shanghai is soaring now, relying on the little wages on hand, I can barely survive, but if I want to have fun outside, it is far from enough."

"Hahaha, it seems that Mr. Lu understands me."

Muto Zhixiong smiled boldly: "I know a lot about Lu Jun's past, and what I appreciate most is that, as the chief of the secret service department, Lu Jun, you never use your power to blackmail other people. blackmail."

"However, a lot of things have been done with money."

Lu Wen smiled, but muttered in his heart: If it wasn't for your daughter, I would have found a reason to copy those chambers of commerce long ago.

"Hey." Shio Muto shook his head: "Mr. Lu himself said just now that the price of goods in Shanghai has skyrocketed, and it is impossible to live in Shanghai with those dead wages alone."

Picking up the wine glass and shaking it in front of his eyes, Shixiong Muto said: "To be honest, let me make up my mind to cooperate with Mr. Lu instead of other people. The big reason is what other businessmen think of you."

"What do you think of me?"

"Yes, before having this meal with you, I sent people to investigate around and found that those businessmen had a good impression of you, Mr. Lu. As long as you take the money, you can do what you promised, even if you can't. I will also return the money, very reputable, and quite willing to cooperate with you."

"So, as long as there is a need for help, the merchants will immediately think of you. Your status and reputation, coupled with my channels and goods, I believe that our cooperation is like a combination of two swords. This place in Shanghai is invincible!"

"In that case, I have to thank those merchants."

Lu Wen laughed: "If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be favored by Consul Muto."

To be honest, Lu Wen was a little surprised. He thought it would take a lot of effort to get in touch with Shio Muto, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

He just set up a trick to kill Director Liang, and just got on the line with Muto Zhixiong in such a muddle-headed way.

Just when Lu Wen thought that he was going to make a PY transaction with Muto Shixiong and started doing dishonest business.

Suddenly, Muto Zhixiong changed the subject and said, "Mr. Lu, I have shown my sincerity in cooperating with you. What about you?"

"Sincere?"

Lu Wen frowned and his heart skipped a beat, he knew it was not that simple.

This Japanese is not an ordinary character, and he can't simply get on the line at all. It is estimated that Director Liang also surrendered some "sincerity" when he cooperated with him.

"Consul Muto...what kind of sincerity do you need to see from me?"

Lu Wen asked back.

"For Lu Jun, it's just a matter of lifting a finger."

Zhixiong Muto smiled: "You and I hate corrupt and incompetent people the most... After I came to Shanghai, I found that there are many such mediocre people in your secret service bureau. They kept extorting money from those businessmen, sabotaging It will hurt our business by ruining the good impression of the merchants on the International Settlement."

After arriving here, Muto Shio's smile began to change, and his smile was very sinister:

"Lu Jun, get rid of those corrupt secret agents, this is your greatest sincerity!"

If it is a game, then the screen will definitely be banned now, and two options are selected.

The first one: Show your sincerity and clean up some corrupt agents after you go back.

The second: Rejecting Shio Muto's request.

There is also a line of big characters above: This choice has far-reaching consequences, please consider carefully.

Lu Wen did not give an answer immediately, but began to think and analyze what he should do.

First, it was Shio Muto.

This villain acts horribly.In order to get Xiao Tu to submit, he arranged for him to betray the underground party. The betrayal was not enough, but he also forced Xiao Tu to kill his teacher with his own hands. He once played with the clever Xiao Tu to doubt his life.

During the business group incident, he was able to rationally analyze every sentence. Regardless of the fact that Xiao Tu left the Muto Consulate safely in the end, at first glance, it seemed that he had been deceived by Xiao Tu, but in fact his purpose was to eradicate A group of spies who blackmailed businessmen headed by Hu Yibiao.

The behavior of these spies has seriously affected the formation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which is mentioned in the archives.

Zhixiong Muto let Xiao Tu go, but at the same time gave up his trust in him.

Choose carefully this time, if you make a wrong choice, there will be no chance to do it again.

Whether Junko can be his wife or not, this choice is very important.

Choose the first one, of course it goes without saying, go back and kill some extortion spies, do things according to Muto Shio's wishes, and you will successfully start a PY transaction with him.

Choosing the second option will cause serious dissatisfaction to Shio Muto, and maybe the PY transaction will just fall through.

Logically speaking, Lu Wen should choose the first one without any hesitation.

But Lu Wen knew very well that he is now a spy, a member of No. 76, and he listened to Muto Shio to deal with those spies who had a history of kidnapping and extorting businessmen.

He's afraid he doesn't want to live anymore.

This phenomenon has formed a trend in No. 76.

The secret agents below extorted money, and then handed over a tribute fee to the immediate boss, asking him to turn a blind eye.

If Lu Wen killed these blackmailing spies, it would undoubtedly cut off their money.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Not to mention the people below, even the people above want to mess with him.

At that time, even Lu Wen's direct troops would be killed.

There is a passage in Marxism that is widely circulated:

With 50.00% profit, it takes risks;

With [-]% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws;

With a profit of [-]%, it would dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged.

What is Kidnapping for Ransom?

A lucrative business!
