At 9 o'clock in the morning on May 29, 1978, Xiaoda and I had just arrived at the CIA service station at the port when I received a call from Mr. Tao, in which he said that the members of the Gangchenghui Incident Investigation Team, composed of Mr. Tao, General Jefferson, FBI investigators, and Dr. Shears, president of the American Currency Exchange Association, had arrived at a hotel in Gangcheng, and he asked me to go to this hotel immediately and have an interview with them!

Xiaoda and I left the service station, were in the parking lot in the courtyard of the service station, and drove to the hotel.

At 10 a.m., we arrived in the lobby of that hotel and a CIA staff member ushered us to a conference room.

Before Xiaoda and I entered the venue, the staff searched and disarmed me, and asked Xiaoda to wait outside the venue, and they let me enter the venue alone.

In the conference room, I saw General Jefferson, Mr. Taugin, Dr. Shears, and several officials of the FIB, all sitting in their chairs motionless, their faces very serious! A staff member standing next to me asked me to sit down in front of them.

General Jefferson said, "Jack! On the 27th and 28th of this month, a major incident occurred in Port City, a group of criminals embezzled a large amount of funds from the American Bang Bank and carried out illegal transactions at the Port City Currency Exchange Center, therefore, caused very serious losses to the North American banking system! As far as we know, you are a member of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association and are eligible for this transaction! We routinely conduct the necessary investigations on you! Wait, FIB Investigator Mr. Lossis, to ask you questions! Just go back as you are! Alright, the questioning begins! ”

Lossis said, "Mr. Jack! What is your age? ”

I said, "16 years old!" ”

He said: "Have you ever been involved in currency trading before? ”

I said, "No! ”

He said: "Are you involved in this transaction? ”

I said, "No! ”

He said: "Then why did you install a trading system at home?" ”

I said, "This is the equipment and system that the association sent me to use!" I'm just using it to handle normal business and watch the transactions go on! I knew that the currency exchange was open on the 27th and 28th of this month, and I did watch the trading, however, I dozed off! So I don't know what happened at the time! ”

He said, "Oh! Why do you doze off? ”

I said, "So, I don't really see the graphics and the data, I don't feel like they're as exciting as the game!" So I fell asleep unconsciously! When I woke up, I was informed by the staff of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association that the trading system was closed! ”

Everyone laughed!

He said: "Were you involved in the Soroski them deal? ”

I said, "No! I just know him! ”

He said: "Did you know in advance what Soroski was planning for this deal? ”

I said, "I don't know! I had a short conversation with Dr. Soroski before the trade! I've already given General Jefferson the record the recording of our conversation! You can check out the recordings from the time! ”

He said, "Do you have a business relationship with Dr. Sorowski?" ”

I said, "No! ”

He said, "Okay! My questioning is over! ”

After my interrogation, they told me to leave the venue and wait outside the door for the results of the investigation!

Soon after, they asked me to re-enter the venue, and I sat down in my place.

Lossis said, "General Jack! Excused me! After our full investigation, it has been proven that you are not involved in this financial crime case! However, we reserve the right to investigate potential suspects, and you are welcome to report a crime to us! We take our leave! ”

Then, Lossis left the venue with several of the FIB's investigative officers, including their recording equipment and documents.

General Jefferson smiled and said, "Jack! It's okay! Sorosky and other idiots have been arrested, and they deserve it! The rest of their lives will have to be spent in prison! ”

Dr. Hills said, "Alas! Mr. Jefferson! You don't have to gloat over our former colleagues, do you?! ”

Jefferson smiled and said, "Oh! They are your colleagues! They don't have their names on our CIA list! Dr. Hills, I want you to speak from the victim's point of view, this garbage should be destroyed! ”

Everyone laughed!

Dr. Shears said, "All right! Jack! You are Chinese, and you have a very good cooperative relationship with the mainland! The Chinese are the main force to defeat Sorosky! Are you involved in the planning of our actions by the Chinese counterpart?! Did you all participate in the framing of Sorosky and them?! ”

I said, "Dr. Shills!" You've been watching too many blockbuster movies lately! Your mind and imagination have been distorted by them! If you are a judge, I suggest you go and gather enough evidence and then convict your suspect! Otherwise, you really should change careers! I think if you're a film director, your movie must be a blockbuster! ”

Everyone laughed!

Dr. Shears, after glaring at me fiercely, he took his briefcase and walked away with his entourage!

After the Hills and the others left, me, Jefferson, and Mr. Gold Rush continued to discuss things.

Jefferson said, "Jack! Let's talk about something else! You joined the CIA in mid-June 1975, and it's been three years now! In that time, you've grown so fast, and you've done so many amazing things for the CIA and for myself! You rose from captain to lieutenant general, which is a miracle that many people will not be able to do in several lifetimes! You Chinese have a saying, people move to live, trees move to die! Because of your ingenuity and achievements, you have also been jealous and suspicious by many people! You should know, I'm leaving the CIA soon, and if I do, no one will be able to protect you! Therefore, I want you to come with me and help me with the Allied Materiel Department! Would you like to? ”

I said, "Your Excellency! Thank you very much for your cultivation and trust in me! In fact, I have lost interest in the CIA's non-yin work! I can resign from the CIA and let them replace me with someone they like! Regarding going to work with you in a new unit, I thought, if not very necessary, I can not go! Because, I am a very traditional Chinese, I am worried that I will drag you down! ”

General Jefferson said, "Jack! Don't think otherwise! I appreciate your character and talent! After I get to the military supply department, I want to set up a military procurement supply depot in Port City! I want you to help me take care of this sourcing and supply station, it's a very easy job! Don't shirk it! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Okay! Your Excellency's affairs are subordinate matters, and we will help you take care of this procurement and supply station! ”

Jefferson laughed and said, "Great! When I return to the headquarters, I will help you with the transfer procedures! Be patient and wait for the notification! ”

I said, "Okay! Your Excellency, what about the rest of the staff at the service station? ”

Jefferson said, "Jack! When the time comes, colleagues who are willing to go with you, let them resign and go with you! If you don't want to go with you, let them choose to resign or leave, or stay in the CIA and continue to work, and when the time comes, Chris will be responsible for taking them in! ”

I said, "Okay! I understand! ”

Jefferson said, "Jack! Teacher Tao Jin and I have shares in Haolong Company! Before I leave the CIA, I want to clear this old account and transfer all these shares to you! Otherwise, I'm afraid that the CIA will get us in trouble in the future! What do you think about this? ”

I said, "Your Excellency, there is no problem with this!" I can let my lawyer take care of these things! You have 10% of the shares in Haolong, and the gold rush teacher has 5% of the shares! How do you see how I pay you the transfer fee?! ”

Jefferson took a blank piece of paper and wrote on it with a pencil: Compensation me is $1 billion, and Mr. Tao is $500 million. After I read it, Jefferson burned some notes!

I said, "No problem!" Let's go to the Haolong Mansion now, and I'll immediately inform my lawyer to be waiting for you there! ”

Jefferson said, "Jack! It's not good for me to come forward to handle this matter in person, I'll let the gold panning teacher handle it on my behalf! I believe in you father and son! ”

Then, Jefferson gave Mr. Tao his "Power of Attorney for Withdrawal of Shares" and the collection account number.

Jefferson said, "All right! Mr. Tao! You can help with this! You bring your luggage and belongings, go to your son-in-law's house for a few days, I will wait for you in the hotel after the news, and I will return to the North American headquarters after getting your news! When we meet again, our lives will be replaced by a new blue sky! ”

Then, after I said goodbye to Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Jefferson, Xiaoda and I went to his room with Mr. Tao to pack our luggage and belongings, and we left the hotel together and returned to the Magic Star Villa.

At noon, when we returned home, Yanfang and Kexin had already prepared lunch for us at home.

After lunch, me, Mr. Tao, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin drank tea and talked in the living room at home.

Teacher Tao said, "Ah Cai! When are we going to handle that?! Jefferson is waiting for news from the hotel now! ”

I said, "Teacher Tao! I have already asked Mr. Tang to prepare the documents! Let's go right over! ”

After I got the registration documents such as the "Articles of Directors" of Haolong Company in the safe at home, me, Mr. Tao and Xiaoda drove to Haolong Port.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the office of the chairman of Haolong Company, and Lawyer Tang was already waiting for us in the office, and we sat on the sofa drinking coffee and talking.

Lawyer Tang said: "Mr. Gold Rush! According to the articles of association of the board of directors of Haolong Company signed by you a few years ago, you and Mr. Jefferson each hold 10% and 5% of the dry shares of Haolong Company. As for compensating you privately! ”

Teacher Tao said, "No problem, we have already discussed it with Ah Cai!" Jefferson gave the "Power of Attorney for Withdrawal of Shares", can I sign it for him? ”

Lawyer Tang: "Yes! You can sign the "Shareholders' Voluntary Free Withdrawal Agreement" prepared by me! ”

Mr. Tang received Mr. Tao's "Power of Attorney for Withdrawal of Shares" from Mr. Jefferson, and he handed over the "Agreement on Voluntary Withdrawal of Shares by Shareholders Free of Charge" to me and Mr. Tao to read, and the specific contents of the agreement are as follows:

Mr. Jefferson voluntarily gave up his 10% stake in Haolong Company (dry shares) and transferred it to Mr. Zhou Zilong; Mr. Tao Jin voluntarily gave up 5% of the shares (dry shares) of Haolong Company held by him free of charge and transferred it to Mr. Zhou Zilong.

Then, after Mr. Tao and I both thought that there was no problem, Mr. Tao and I signed the agreement, and Mr. Tao signed and signed on behalf of Jefferson.

After the signing was completed, I entrusted the payment by phone, and remitted $1 billion to Jefferson's private account and $500 million to Mr. Tao's personal account on Zhou Zilong's UBS account.

Soon, Mr. Tao received the $500 million I gave him through the phone!

Mr. Tao called General Jefferson, and Jefferson replied to Mr. Tao that his payment had also arrived!

After handling the matter, Mr. Tang gave two copies of the "Shareholders' Voluntary Free Withdrawal Agreement" signed by everyone.

Lawyer Tang said: "Mr. Gold Rush! You and Mr. Jefferson have nothing to do with Opteron! Please give one of the "Shareholders' Voluntary Free Withdrawal Agreement" to Mr. Jefferson! Let's talk slowly! I want the industrial and commercial department to do the company's shareholders and share changes! ”

After Mr. Tang finished speaking, he took the "Shareholders' Voluntary Free Withdrawal Agreement" signed by us, the "Power of Attorney for Withdrawal of Shares" signed by Jefferson to Mr. Tao and other documents, and went to the industrial and commercial department to change the company's shareholders and shares.

So, after paying $1.5 billion, I own 100% of Opteron and I feel like I don't owe them anymore!

After finishing things and packing up the office, me, Mr. Tao and Xiaoda left the Haolong Mansion and returned directly to the Demon Star Villa.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the home of the Demon Star Villa, and me, Yanfang, Teacher Tao, Xiaoda and Kexin were drinking tea and talking in the living room.

Teacher Tao said: "Ah Cai, Yanfang, Xiaoda, Kexin! After General Jefferson left the CIA, I was completely retired! Think about your future retreat! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Teacher Tao! Port City is our home! Where else can we retreat? ”

Teacher Tao said, "Alas! Don't you guys get it?! This time, Ah Cai offended the bandits who played with money in Hills! Although General Jefferson came forward to vouch for Ah Cai, the other CIA and FBI may not necessarily do it! In addition, the Shears gang also has their own set of networks, and their power is not inferior to that of the CIA! You'd better find a place to hide! Otherwise, sooner or later, they will attack you! ”

Yanfang said, "Dad! What did Ah Cai do?! Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Sorosky and they can't steal chickens and rice! Oh, they hurt to the bones, just like they were angry with our family! We're not fuel-efficient lamps either! If they dare to cause trouble, we will destroy them! I don't believe that there is no reason in this world! ”

Teacher Tao said angrily: "Yanfang! You're so tender! They're going to trouble you, will they let you know?! I'll see you and I go back to San Francisco! You have a big belly now, and when the time comes, you won't be able to run if you want to! ”

Yanfang said, "Okay! Father! If you want to go, hurry up and go on your own! Ah Cai has already given you a lot of money, a lot of which was earned by that port, and Ah Cai and his brothers exchanged their lives for it! Now, we don't owe you a debt of affection! ”

Teacher Tao said, "Okay! Tao Yanfang! Now your wings are stiff, and your abilities are great! You will not listen to what I say. Yes! Ah Cai, you can book me a plane ticket tomorrow morning, and I want to go back to San Francisco! I don't want to be here with you! ”

I said, "Okay! We'll help you book your flight right away! Mr. Tao! Father! Don't be angry! We are still your children and students! You go and rest first! We'll call you again when we eat! ”

So, Xiaoda and Kexin took Teacher Tao back to the room to rest.

When Xiaoda and Kexin returned, the four of us had a conversation in the living room.

Xiao Da lowered his head and said, "Alas! Be polite when you talk to your own family! Why do you have to make a mess?! ”

Yanfang said angrily: "Turn it over!" Ahh Dad, they withdrew their shares, how much did you give them? ”

I said, "Jefferson $1 billion, Daddy $500 million!" ”

After listening to my words, Yanfang was speechless!

After her mood stabilized, Yanfang said with tears in her eyes: "Ah Cai! I thought you gave them tens of millions of dollars! Why do you give them so much! They're blackmailing us! ”

I said, "Yanfang! I can't say that, they didn't force me, I was willing! They did help us a lot and they deserved the money! With this money, they can arrange their lives well! In this way, we can also get some comfort! ”

After the conversation, I ordered a plane ticket to San Francisco for Mr. Tao over the phone, and I helped him order a plane ticket from Port City to San Francisco at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Tao came to have dinner with us, and we chatted while eating.

Teacher Tao said, "Ah Cai! When I get back to San Francisco, you can move to the Rose Garden, it's so eerie and remote! You can't live in a place that isn't popular! ”

I said, "Daddy! Good! We had been planning to move from here for a long time! Once you're gone, we'll start moving! When you come to visit us, go to the Rose Garden and come to us! ”

Teacher Tao said with tears in his eyes: "Alas! It's too close to the mainland! In the future, I don't dare to come to Hong Kong City! Now, the people on the mainland and the island are eyeing me, and after we lose the protection of the CIA, I can only live a life of hiding and hiding! ”

After listening to Mr. Tao's words, everyone burst into tears!

......

Early in the morning of May 30th, we helped Mr. Tao pack his luggage and belongings, I gave Mr. Tao a lockbox containing $1 million in cash, and after breakfast, Mr. Tao said goodbye to me, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin.

Teacher Tao burst into tears and said, "Ah Cai, Xiao Da, Yan Fang, Ke Xin! I'm incompetent! In the future, I can't protect you! Take care! You're going to be mom and dad soon! In the future, you should raise the children well, and when the children grow up, let them visit their grandparents! ”

Yanfang hugged Teacher Tao and said, "Dad! Don't say it! You're our great dad! In the future, we will visit you often! ”

After everyone said goodbye, Yanfang and Kexin stayed at home, and Xiaoda and I took Mr. Tao's money box and luggage and drove Mr. Tao to the airport.

Upon arrival at the airport, we entered the departure hall through the special military lane.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, we watched Mr. Tao board the flight to San Francisco in the departure hall, and in this way, we saw off Mr. Tao and a long and sad past!
