Section 111 The Emperor's Capital 16

Ren Jian gently touched his left hand.

There was a rough, stiff bandage sensation coming from the hand. In this period of time, the pain in his left hand has basically subsided, although he knows that he has lost a few fingers and is already disabled. But that feeling hasn't turned into a reality yet. After all, through the thick bandage, I can't even feel what is going on inside.

Moreover, although he already knew intellectually that he was missing a few fingers, he could still feel his own fingers.

This is a feeling of self-deception peculiar to human beings, called "phantom limbs". According to the scientific understanding, although the limb is mutilated, the nerves in the brain that control the limb are still there. So from time to time, these nerves produce false feedback messages that tell the brain that "I'm still here".

Last night, I had another nightmare.

Ren Jian didn't tell Lu Wu about this. But all this time, nightmares have been haunting him. These dreams were strange and distorted, as if some kind of dark presence was chasing him frantically from behind, and the dark sky was streaked by lightning from time to time. He fled between this darkness and lightning. In the end, when there was nowhere to escape, he held his head and trembled. Of course, he won't be able to hide for long, and he will soon be found out, forcibly pulled and pressed on the table to sign all kinds of documents to betray him. Yes, to sell, to sell everything he owns, his education, his property, his identity, and even his body organs, one by one. No matter how reluctant he was, his hand unceremoniously held the pen and frantically signed a valid signature. After signing all these documents one by one, he turned the last page and saw a death sentence written in black and white.

That's why he would be listless and even yawn in his office. What kind of spirit do people who don't sleep well have?

Of course, in fact, his investment company really has nothing else to do.

Almost all of the company's money is on that damn steel plant. Now for those investment opportunities outside, Ren Jian doesn't even bother to understand in detail whether it's a real pie or a trap - he doesn't have the money to do it anyway. Of course, the affairs of the steel plant do not need his attention, and Director Gao is doing a good job.

Ren Jian's main job now – if I call it work – is to look for opportunities to sell that pile of precious metals at a good price.

It's the kind of thing that can't be easier to get rid of in China. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sell at all. But to sell it at a better price, it takes a little thought. To put it mildly, although Ren Jian unknowingly got on the thief ship, since he got on the ship, he also wanted to show his ability, so as not to attract dissatisfaction, and one day he was unloaded and killed a donkey, and his death was unknown.

Really doing things badly caused dissatisfaction, and Lu Wu might not be able to keep him. Ren Jian knows this.

You must know that although this mysterious smuggling group is only the tip of the iceberg in front of Ren Jian, it has already been revealed. Putting aside the rest for the time being, the manpower aspect alone is full of talents, and it is by no means idle. There are not only witches with supernatural abilities, but also management masters like the high factory director. The witch is okay, after all, science has advanced these years, and there are not many people who really believe in supernatural abilities (rather than seeing them as a hoax), and it is really difficult to make achievements in the bright world, and there is a danger that the state will take it for slicing and research. So it's normal for Amber to be a smuggler.

But a talent like Director Gao actually defected to an illegal smuggling group, which is really a secret investment. It is enough to make the bosses of the world beat their chests and feet, and a thousand miles of horses with hatred directly become the minions of the criminal group.

Director Gao is obviously a very high-level manager who is not good. Although he himself is overseas, thousands of miles away, and has another main business (obviously, otherwise he would have returned to China a long time ago), he still manages the entire steel plant well. Ren Jianren at the scene at the beginning was still fooled by a bunch of workers and cadres. But when Director Gao took office, he immediately changed the atmosphere of the entire steel plant. Some old fritters that have been working in state-owned enterprises for a long time have almost all been planted. The lucky ones were demoted to the use of workers, and a few of them were caught by the director of the high factory, and took the opportunity to investigate to the end, decapitated their feet, skinned and deboned, and hung up like roast geese to sell on the street. Oh no, it's to publish evidence in public, circulate criticism, announce expulsion, and then let people go home and eat the old book.

Although only one line is currently in operation, the cost of the steel mill has fallen rapidly and the output has increased significantly. Although it is not yet in its heyday, the weather is booming. Even people like Ren Jian, who can only be regarded as seeing flowers in the fog, can see that the steel mill has been resurrected.

This level made Ren Jian feel that he had to change his opinion that "Amber is the leader of the smuggling syndicate". Any random character who pops up has this level, and it makes sense to say that Amber is just one of the important members.

By the way, the so-called capable people work harder. The newly established, Sino-foreign joint venture (in fact, only foreign capital, no one knows where Chinese capital comes from), Thomas actually appointed him as the vice president - the de facto person in charge. Although the president is Thomas, the president obviously doesn't take this seriously at all. If Ren Jian is just not good at management, and the mismanagement of the steel plant was caused by the wrong direction in the preliminary work, then Thomas is simply a hands-off shopkeeper, and directly handed over all the big and small things here to the director Gao.

The female secretary outside poked her head in, and saw that Ren Jian didn't seem to be doing anything important sitting in the chair, so she asked if she could meet the guest.

Speaking of being the CEO of an investment company, there are many customers of all kinds. Among them, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, and there is no distinction between good and bad. There are all kinds of characters who pull sponsors, find funds, and cheat money. Of course, most of them can make people laugh, but a few are quite a headache. For example, the previous manager Qian under President Tang was like this. Catch up and can't catch up (after all, he also represents a channel), recognize but can't recognize.

Of course, if that person dares to come to the door now, Ren Jian will have the confidence to let him eat a round of Tai Chi pushers.

The guest was a stranger, dressed in a crisp suit - these days, the real boss prefers civilian clothes, but the secretaries, vice presidents, assistants and the like wear straight suits all day long, hot in summer and cold in winter - calm temperament, not very old. The business card he sent was the deputy director of a certain government unit - the kind that has nothing to do with the shopping mall.

As soon as the deputy director came in, his eyes stayed on Ren Jian's arm.

Although Ren Jian himself knew that such a thick bandage on his hand was indeed very conspicuous, the other party's behavior still made people feel very unhappy. He moved his arm.

The deputy director quickly realized his impoliteness and immediately withdrew his gaze. Then take a seat, pour your tea, and start the formal conversation.

To say that this deputy director really has some ability. Ren Jian started to just deal with it casually with an attitude of killing time, but he didn't know when he changed the topic and turned it into a discussion about the composition of the investment company. Is it an investment company, it legally belongs to two people, one is called Ren Jian, and the other is Lu Wu. Any unrelated person will feel that Ren Jian is in the dominant position among the two people. Because obviously, from the opening of the company to the present, Lu Wu has not appeared much at all.

But Ren Jian knew that he was just a vassal of Lu Wu. In other words, because the transnational smuggling syndicate on the Amber side is very powerful, legal ownership is meaningless - all superficial articles are meaningless when people can make you disappear at any time. Not to mention, in fact, Ren Jian also knew that he was a hindrance at all. The money was actually brought over by Lu Wu. Not only that, if it weren't for Lu Wu, he would probably have been thinking about which high-rise building to jump off because of bankruptcy debts.

The deputy director politely hinted that there might be something wrong with Lu Wu. He seems to have investigated Lu Wu, so he knows that the current Lu Wu is an unemployed vagrant living in the suburbs. An unemployed homeless person who doesn't know where to get the money to join hands with Ren Jian is very strange in itself.

Ren Jian also made it clear that thank you for the reminder, he will definitely pay attention. If that guy Lu Wu dares to do the evil act of controlling human beings and destroying the earth, he will definitely kill his relatives in righteousness. No brotherhood, friendship, or life-saving grace is as important as saving humanity.

The deputy director once again hinted that together with Lu Wu might invite disaster.

Ren Jian politely said that he fully understood the disaster brought by Lu Wu - since ancient times, everyone said that money will cause trouble, and there are countless examples in today's society to prove this. For example, not long ago, a news story said that a foreign lottery jackpot winner not only did not reap happiness, but the family collapsed and the children died. The lottery winner cried into the reporter's microphone, knowing why he did it today, and if he could do it again, he shouldn't have won the prize in the first place.

Not to mention anything else, his own fingers were lost because of this. There is no doubt that if he is still working in a certain store at the moment, that "Jin Ye" will not come to the door to kidnap and ransom.

But this kind of calamity, Ren Jian deeply felt that what the Buddha said was right, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. It's really bad to harm others with this kind of calamity, so it's better to keep it and harm yourself. Lu Wu threw the calamity over, what else could he do as a brother?

The deputy director also wanted to turn to the third topic, and Ren Jian had already served tea to the guests. He felt that it was necessary to care about the national and even international precious metal prices, instead of continuing to chat inexplicably with a deputy director who had nothing to do with him.

He didn't take it seriously at allβ€”he'd really seen a lot of this kind of inexplicable person so far. In his opinion, they are nothing more than some liars. This is the case since ancient times, liars have been deceiving people, isn't it?

Almost no one noticed the guest's departure β€” there were too many unfamiliar faces to come and go in this commercial building. No one saw that the deputy director was not taking the elevator, but walking down the stairs, making phone calls all the way.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, leader, the situation can be completely determined, the person who was arrested by Boss Jin in the end should be Ren Jian...... Yes, he was injured and the medical records investigated in the hospital were exactly the same...... It was supposed to be a finger cut off. But he kept silent about what happened to him. Yes, that's right, it makes sense to assume that if he had been redeemed before the fire, or if he had nothing to do with the fire, then he would have chosen to call the police. ”

"So...... His last call was important!" There was no one else on the stairs, and it was too quiet, so the phone microphone was so loud that it could even be heard by a third person. "And the person who called was called Lu Wu......"

"Yes, his co-stockers. His classmates...... An ordinary college graduate, who graduated last year, is now unemployed...... At present, there is only one news, and he seems to have a channel to get some antiques...... Yes, it's quite famous, and it sells a lot of it here in W City. There is no news for the rest. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're right, and that should be the case. Boss Jin kidnapped Ren Jian and called Lu Wu to ask for ransom. But this time, he kicked the iron plate! Lu Wu should have been in contact with some antique smugglers...... These smugglers are armed!"

After a few more words, he put his phone away. It is not very difficult to investigate this matter - it should be said that the dead boss Kim provided enough information. Surprisingly, people of Boss Jin's age are very trendy and know how to use their own computers. He left the news of this incident in his computer, how he searched, how to find someone, and finally found Ren Jian's head.

The fire engulfed a lot of things, such as footprints, murderers, wounded people, and so on. But it couldn't swallow two things: the bullets on the corpses, and the computers that had been kept intact in the basement. The dead can also speak.
