"Brother Shang, I hope you can understand this matter now, it's not that as long as I say something, it's nothing. If I really hold this responsibility accountable, the one in your family should not be able to get out of it now. ”

"And even if there are no other actions on my side, can you guarantee that other people who are related to this matter will not have any ideas?

This is also one of the main purposes for Yang Tan to come to Shang Yishen, his first reaction after learning about this matter was to worry about the safety of his old classmate, after all, except for Wan Zilin, he is the closest person to this matter.

"You can really think like this, you don't have much to do with this matter, but what about Wan Zilin, she can be regarded as the leader of this organization now. ”

It is natural that the matter that Yang Tan, the director of the special investigation department, can come over to Shang Yishen to discuss in detail, naturally it cannot be a trivial matter, according to the information that Shang Yishen has obtained now, this matter is simply called arms smuggling.

These four simple words are already a serious violation of national laws and regulations, and such a crime can be very serious. And Wan Zilin, a law-abiding citizen, is combined with such words.

It wasn't of her own volition. She also had something to do with this without knowing it. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the reason why she has something to do with this matter is because she is the first heir to the estate of her grandfather Zhong Zhiyu.

Her grandfather, Zhong Zhiyu, was an ordinary businessman on the surface, controlling most of the economy of Linshi, but the time he spent in Linshi was not as long as that of some old companies.

And the industry operated by Zhong Zhiyu is not a new thing, but there are already other people who operate such things in the city, but after Zhong Zhiyu came, in just a few years, all the companies related to this industry have gone bankrupt, leaving only Zhong Zhiyu with the least qualifications.

Many people don't know what the real reason is, but only a few insiders, including Zhong Zhiyu and the three henchmen under him, know it. Now Yang Tan and Shang Yishen also know the inside story.

Zhong Zhiyu's success is not entirely because he is well-managed as rumored by the outside world, but because Zhong Zhiyu has another way to make a fortune.

When the Zhong family was in City A, it was a deep-rooted big family, but before Zhong Zhiyu, the way his elders made their fortunes was not honest business, and their first money for business was obtained by smuggling arms.

If this matter is carefully traced, it may involve the history of the Zhong family. But to put it simply, the Zhong family made a fortune by smuggling when Wan Zilin's great-great-grandfather, and later, the descendants of the Zhong family began to whitewash the Zhong family in order to cover up this despicable past.

After two generations of hard work, the identity of the Zhong family's arms dealer was covered up, and by the time Wan Zilin arrived, everyone knew only the merchants who had been doing business in Zhongjia City for generations. Few people know about this past.

Originally, the Zhong family had already covered up the fact of their crimes, and no one could find out about their previous smuggling past, but unfortunately, this matter was discovered by Yang Tan's people.

It is because the descendants of the Zhong family, that is, Zhong Zhiyu, have returned to their old business. It was already hidden in the snow, but now it has been discovered, and someone must have done something that should not have been done.

Back then, Zhong Zhiyu was framed by his son-in-law Wan Zhiguo, and lost his status in City A and his former business empire, he wanted to leave City A and go to Linshi to start over, but when he arrived in Linshi, he found that making a comeback was just easier said than done.

He Zhong Zhiyukong has the ability, but he is not a genius like Shang Yishen, and at his age, it is obviously impossible for him to start from the grassroots level and build from scratch little by little.

And he has mastered advanced management and perfect technology, but he has no connections in Linshi, and there is no strong capital to support him to start over.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, just like Zhong Zhiyu, when he is empty-handed, he can't give those subordinates he brought to Linshi, a future he promised.

Although he was at the end of the road, Zhong Zhiyu still had a lot of ideas to wait, and after thinking about it, he thought of the way their Zhong family used to make a fortune. It was in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Zhong family engaged in the arms smuggling business, importing foreign firearms and equipment to China, and seeking Ju'er's expenses.

It was the fastest way he could think of to get money at the time. At that time, although the Zhong family had just been whitewashed, they still had a relationship with the Zhong family who were smuggling with the Zhong family before, and Zhong Zhiyu would walk around with them every year during the Chinese New Year.

So his heart was hot, so he went to ask his grandfather's brother who used to smuggle together, the old man listened to Zhong Zhiyu's intention, heard about the current situation of the Zhong family, and tried to be heartbroken first, but he didn't plan to help Zhong Zhiyu, after all, no one wants others to share a piece of the pie with him.

Moreover, the arms business is not as good as it used to be, and in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the laws were not perfect, and the supervision was far less stringent than it is now. In the past, it was all carried out by manpower, but later police dogs were slowly used. At that time, they can still get through the disguise.

But look at the present, they are all using high-tech methods, and what infrared and ultrasound can't hide. This is very restrictive to their arms business, so they are also going downhill, how can they bring another person to get a piece of the pie in the already sluggish market?

At the beginning, Zhong Zhiyu was not accepted by his grandfather and brother, but the other party couldn't stand Zhong Zhiyu playing the emotional card and kneeling and kowtowing. So in the end, Zhong Zhiyu successfully joined their smuggling ranks.

At the beginning, Zhong Zhiyu took the sixth master to smuggle in person, and they worked under the old brother of Zhong Zhiyu's grandfather, and then they slowly developed themselves and also had their own contacts and sources of goods, so they began to work alone.

In the beginning, they were engaged in arms smuggling, but the arms smuggling business was not easy to do, after all, the supply of goods was very unstable and very dangerous. So in later years, they slowly gave up guns and arms and began to sell drugs and medical equipment.

This is also a type of smuggling, and these two things are obviously better than guns. Although the profits are not as high as those of arms, the smuggling of these things is much easier to move around than arms.

But this is not a formal way to get money after all, this kind of without the official approval of the government, privately take domestic things abroad to sell, although this is to escape taxes, but in fact it is against the law.

This is why, the three henchmen of Zhong Zhiyu before showed such a devastated appearance when they saw Wan Zilin, who didn't know anything, they didn't know how they should introduce themselves to Wan Zilin, what they were doing secretly.

Wan Zilin has nothing to do with them at all, if she knew that they were smugglers, what kind of choice would Wan Zilin have?

To be honest, their hearts are also very tangled. And if Wan Zilin knew about it, the entanglement in her heart would not be much better. On the one hand, it is the industry that my grandfather has worked hard for most of his life, and half is the final bottom line as a citizen of the country.

Shang Yishen is now also in a dilemma. How should he open his mouth to Wan Zilin and tell her, Linlin, in fact, your grandfather is a smuggler who broke the law, and now that the police have investigated here, you should stand up and choose how to deal with this matter.

How could he bear it? How could he stand from the perspective of a bystander and announce her grandfather's death sentence to Wan Zilin without any personal feelings? Under the current circumstances, how could Wan Zilin accept such a twists and turns in reality?

"Old merchant, you have to make a choice. I'll tell you the truth now, because Zhong Zhiyu is a famous entrepreneur and a smuggler, so in order not to attract the attention of social media, the above sent me to deal with this matter. ”

The reason why Yang Tan was sent here was because the leaders above wanted to deal with this matter coldly, and they could not attract the attention of the mass media, and if they were to use the strength of ordinary armed police officers and soldiers to deal with it, it would be revealed that the famous entrepreneur Zhong Zhiyu was actually an arms dealer, and now he has been punished by law.

The public's focus will not be on Zhong Zhiyu being brought to justice, but on the contrary, they will expand this matter, and they will worry that since Zhong Zhiyu is such a powerful entrepreneur, he is actually an arms dealer. So other people, other entrepreneurs, such as Shang Yishen, are they also arms dealers?

This will be a challenge to entrepreneurs, and the skepticism of the public is not a good thing for these companies.
