The Bravest

Chapter 176: Poaching Lin Jie

Lin Jie didn't know that Gangcun almost sold him out, but the deal hadn't been finalized yet.

After Lin Jie left the room, Yoshikawa Yoko came out from the inner room.

"Ms. Yoshikawa, you heard it all. Lin-san doesn't have that kind of intention towards you. As long as there's money to share, that's all that's fine!"

"Mr. Okamura, I just want some security!" Yoshikawa Yoko smiled but did not say what she really thought.

"Haha, well, I don't care about your business, as long as it doesn't affect business. Let me remind you that a man may not care about every woman who has slept with him."

Gangcun left after saying something sour.

He couldn't understand why Yoshikawa would set his sights on Lin Jie. If they wanted to increase mutual trust, shouldn't Yoshikawa Yoko look for him?

Watching Gangcun leave, Yoko Yoshikawa smiled confidently, "It's not that man, I like him too."

……

Lin Jie left the Sakura Pavilion and arrived at Michiko's residence.

"Honey, I've done everything you told me to do. I've used our regular medicines and swapped them out for anti-inflammatory drugs. We also have some antibiotics."

Michiko hugged Lin Jie's arm and acted coquettishly to take credit for it. This was a task that Lin Jie had assigned to her individually, and he also specifically told her not to put it on the family's account.

"Well, I'm sure I'll be at ease with Michiko's work! Now there's something else I need to do that no one else can see?"

During this period, Lin Jie was very busy because of the investigation. Sun Yuelan and Haitang were already seven or eight months pregnant, so he had to go home often to accompany them.

As Lin Jie spoke, he picked up Michiko and went into the inner bedroom. He hadn't been intimate with Michiko for a long time.

"Hubby... I miss you..." Michiko was thrown on the bed by Lin Jie. She screamed at first, and then her eyes were full of desire.

She took off all the unnecessary things on her body piece by piece, and posed in an alluring manner, like a pure white work of art, waiting for Lin Jie's appreciation.

Lin Jie crawled over, admired it carefully, and gently stroked the white jade-like skin, making it turn pink and hot.

Michiko didn't even move, but she started panting. She turned over and sat up, holding Lin Jie's head to her chest.

Lin Jie greedily breathed in the air filled with body fragrance. After a long while, he finally pressed Michiko under him.

"Ah..." Michiko moaned with satisfaction.

Lin Jie felt like he heard the most beautiful sound of nature.

……

"Hu, hu..." Lin Jie panted heavily. He was really exhausted after doing it twice in a row.

"Honey, I'm going to fly..."

……

Lin Jie never expected that while he and Michiko were having a secret affair, Gangcun had already hurried to a private room in a hotel.

In the private room, Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming were chatting about this and that, about what exactly was going on with Gangcun asking them to meet here.

"Brother Liu, I'm just wondering, our chance is coming." Huang Tianfu drank tea, looking leisurely and contented.

"Director Huang, why do you say that? Aren't you afraid that Gangcun is doing this for our private matter?"

Liu Ziming was not so relaxed. He was a member of the Military Control Commission. This time he seized most of the supplies and even hid it from Lin Jie and Huang Tianfu.

"Hehe, if Gangcun wanted to investigate us, he wouldn't have come here at all. Even if he did, it would be to investigate Lin Jie."

"No way! Lin Jie is his absolute confidant, and he is also his brother-in-law." Liu Ziming still didn't quite believe it.

Huang Tianfu has always been jealous of Lin Jie and Gangcun's relationship. Even though the three of them have been working together, he would make some sarcastic remarks from time to time.

"Don't believe it? Then just wait and see. Gangcun secretly arranged an appointment with us without telling Lin Jie. This is definitely to deal with Lin Jie."

Huang Tianfu was absolutely sure about this. He felt that this was a good opportunity to bring down Lin Jie, and he also wanted to pull Liu Ziming to his side.

"Haha, if that's the case, you don't have to be happy. Who knows, if Lin Jie falls, the next one might be you, or me." Liu Ziming thought further.

He had seen many Japanese tactics of using one gang to fight another. What was there to be happy about? It would be better to stick together for warmth. The Japanese, on the contrary, did not dare to act recklessly.

Just as Huang Tianfu was about to say something else, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Without waiting for the person inside to respond, and regardless of the bodyguards at the door trying to stop them, Gangcun's two bodyguards directly pushed open the door of the private room.

One of Gangcun's bodyguards walked straight into the private room, looked inside carefully, then came out and nodded to Gangcun, indicating that it was safe inside.

"Haha, you two just wait!" Gangcun laughed and sat down on the sofa casually.

"We just arrived too, Gangcun-kun. I wonder what brought us here?"

Huang Tianfu asked impatiently after seeing Gangcun sit down.

"No hurry, no hurry, let me have some tea first."

Gangcun pretended to be very friendly. He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, then poured another cup and drank it slowly.

In fact, Gangcun was taking the opportunity to observe the expressions of Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming, wanting to know their attitude towards him, who had secretly met with him without telling Lin Jie.

Looking at Huang Tianfu's impatient look and Liu Ziming's indifferent expression, Gangcun already knew what was going on. He put down his teacup and started talking about business.

"Old Huang, Old Liu, we are all acquaintances, so I won't waste any more words. I asked you to meet here today just to ask, are you willing to work with me?"

When Huang Tianfu heard this, he realized that he had guessed it right. Gangcun really wanted them to do something, definitely to replace Lin Jie. Huang Tianfu was so excited that his heart beat faster.

But before he could open his mouth, Liu Ziming spoke before him.

"Gangcun-kun, we are following Lin Jie now, aren't we also helping you? There's no need to ask if we are willing or not. Don't you agree, Old Huang?"

"Haha, that's right, we have always been helping Gangcun-kun."

Huang Tianfu was quietly pulled on the corner of his clothes by Liu Ziming, and only then did he realize that he was too eager to show off.

"That's true, but it's a little different from what I'm going to say now." Gangcun smiled at Liu Ziming and continued:

"Mr. Lin has been quite busy recently, and may not be able to take care of some things. What I mean is that from now on, you don't need to bother Mr. Lin to arrange the things you are responsible for. You can just report to me directly."

"Mr. Gangcun means that we no longer need to discuss our future actions with Lin Jie, but will be directly commanded by Mr. Gangcun?" Huang Tianfu was a little disappointed.

He thought that they were asked to replace Lin Jie, but it turned out that Gangcun just wanted them to be independent.

By doing this, Gangcun not only split some of Lin Jie's power, but also gained two more people to counter Lin Jie and control his sphere of influence.

"That's what I mean. You are all responsible for yourselves. I won't have to bother Mr. Lin with my business within your jurisdiction. Of course, your profit-sharing ratio in the future will be the same as Mr. Lin's."

Gangcun continued to paint a rosy picture for them, but as to whether it would come true in the future or how much Lin Jie actually got, that was up to Gangcun.
