Early in the morning of December 26, 1977, Cai Jinghua, Xue Yige and others drove to the courtyard of the Demon Star Villa, ready to take me, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin to the airport.

Me, Xiaoda, Yanfang, and Kexin took the necessary equipment such as documents, weapons, cash, laptops, luggage, and gifts, and we went directly to the airport in their vehicles.

Cai Jinghua and Xue Yige dropped us off at the airport, and after we got off the bus with our luggage and belongings, they drove back to the Demon Star Villa to help us look after the house.

We entered the airport with our luggage and belongings, and we entered the airport departure hall through the special military lane.

At 9 a.m., the four of us boarded our flight to Taipei on time.

On the plane, the four of us sat in a row of seats, and after putting away our luggage, we started chatting.

"Huh! Taipei won't be much colder than Port City, right?! We didn't even bring winter clothes! ”

Xiaoda looked at Kexin with a smirk, and Kexin smiled and said, "Eh! Xiaoda! Later, you learn geography and read more maps! The latitude of Taipei is near the north side of the Tropic of Capricorn, and the port city is near the south side of the Tropic of Capricorn! Taipei should be colder than the port city! However, it's not cold enough to wear a big padded jacket! ”

Everyone laughed!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Eh! Ke Xin! You're a high school student! Ah Cai and I haven't graduated from elementary school yet! We certainly don't know as much as you do! Of course, after you become my wife, you can teach me these cultural lessons every day! ”

Yanfang smiled and said, "Xiaoda! I really can't listen to you talk like this! You're saying it's okay if you're not educated! But don't get my family into it! Ah Cai has been well-informed since he was a child, and he is a graduate of Economics and Electronic Engineering from Hong Kong City University! He is also a Ph.D. in economics from a prestigious university in North America! How could you not have graduated from elementary school?! You don't have a chance to go to primary school! You know?! ”

Everyone laughed!

At 11:30 a.m., our flight landed at Taipei International Airport.

After leaving the airport, we took a taxi to a hotel that was relatively close to Kexin's home.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the hotel and asked for a large four-bedroom suite.

We put our luggage and gear in the room and did a light wash and rest.

Then, we brought our belongings and gifts and had lunch at the hotel cafeteria.

After lunch, the four of us took a taxi to Wei Kexin's house outside the hotel gate with several large bags of gifts for Kexin's family.

Wei Kexin's home is not far from this hotel, and after fifteen minutes, we arrived there.

We paid for the taxi, and after getting off, we walked to Kexin's house with our gift bags.

After passing through a few narrow alleys, we arrived at Wei Kexin's house.

Wei Kexin's home is in a low-rise bungalow, which is a large area of bungalows, these bungalows are built along a hillside, they are densely packed with hillsides and depressions, and there are paths and some trees in the bungalow area!

These bungalows are very dilapidated, and the environmental sanitation is not very good, Kexin said, this village is a resettlement area for retired people from Taiwan built by the authorities, and everyone calls such a village "Veterans Village"!

We carried the gifts into Kexin's house, which has a small living room, three small bedrooms, and a kitchen.

There wasn't much furniture and appliances in the house, and there were no lights on in the house, so the room was very dim!

In the living room of the house, an old lady in her fifties with white hair sits!

When the old lady saw us enter the house, she immediately stood up, rushed over and hugged Kexin and said, "Good girl! You're finally back! ”

Then, after their hug was over, Kexin went to turn on the lights in the house!

Then, Kexin introduced the three of us to his mother, and since Yanfang had lived in Kexin's house a few years ago, Kexin's mother still knew Yanfang.

After we sat down in the living room, Kexin and her mother made us tea, and then we talked together.

Kexin said, "Mom! Brothers and sisters-in-law, and how many nephews and nieces are there?! Where did they go? ”

Kexin's mother said, "Alas! They are all in the service industry! Isn't this the second Christmas, your two brothers went to help people watch the casino in the morning, and your two sisters-in-law cut clothes and car clothes for others in the commercial street of Rongmin Village! A few of my grandchildren, buying flowers for passers-by next to your sisters-in-law's stalls! ”

Kexin said, "Alas! What kind of business do you do for the holidays?! Don't they look at Xiaoda? Xiaoda and I will go find them and go home! Let's buy some snacks and come back and make dinner for everyone! ”

Kexin's mother said, "Alas! Isn't there no money at home?! Now prices have risen too much, and the US dollar and Taiwan dollar have been exchanged to 1:500! Coa! You go to the road at the entrance of the village, call my daughter-in-law and grandchildren to come back, and I will call Xiaobin and Xiaohua immediately and ask them to go home immediately! Ke Xin! You want to buy something, and let your sisters-in-law take you to exchange Taiwan dollars! Now, there are more and more scammers in our village! A lot of people often switch to fake money! ”

So, Kexin and Xiaoda went out with some dollars, and Kexin's mother called his two sons and asked them to hurry home.

After Kexin's mother called, she and Yanfang and I were drinking tea and chatting in the living room.

I said, "Mother Kexin! I don't think you're doing well here! If you have any difficulties, you must tell us, after all, we and Kexin's father are mainland villagers! Moreover, we will be relatives in no time! If you are really in trouble, we must not stand idly by! ”

Kexin's mother said, "You're Ah Cai, right?!" Last time, Kexin went home for the Spring Festival, and she showed me photos of a few of you! Therefore, I also know that you are Jack, the head of the CIA service station in Port City! You're the boss of Kexin! I know that you and Xiaoda are brothers! My name is Wang Zhenmei, I am a Chinese language teacher who retreated here from the mainland, and now, I am retired! Kexin's father is an honest soldier who came to Taiwan from the mainland! Since, we are all public officials! Therefore, our family's life has never been rich! In addition, when Kexin's father was fighting, he left a lot of pain and was not in good health! As a result, we don't always have enough money at home! Alas, my two sons, since they were sensible, they have seen that their family is too poor, so they have been thinking about how to get rich since they were young! Therefore, they went into a casino run by an acquaintance to help the boss watch the show! Alas, they are out of luck! When watching the casino, they also give usury to customers by the way! However, the usury given to the guests by my two sons cannot be recovered! Therefore, by making profits and borrowing money from the boss again, the two of them owe a lot of money to the casino owner! My two daughters-in-law are my students, they are also the descendants of the veterans, they are honest people, after graduating from high school, they went to learn the tailoring trade, and now, they set up a stall at the entrance of the village to make clothes for others and supplement the family! Now, our family has to find a way to pay off the debt, and the cost of living here is getting higher and higher! I don't know how we're going to live our lives in the future! ”

After speaking, Kexin's mother covered her face and cried, and Yanfang held her shoulders to comfort her!

I said, "Mother Wang! Don't be sad! If you can't live here anymore, you can go to Port City with us! We have our own property, assets and company in Port City, and with us, your accommodation, food, children go to school, adults go to work, do business and earn money are all problems! As for the debts of our two elder brothers, when they return home, I will discuss with them, and I will help them pay off all the debts! That way, you can start living an easy life in Port City again! ”

Wang Ma wiped away her tears, took my hand and said, "Ah Cai! You're such a good person! We are so lucky that you were able to accept us as relatives! We're definitely going with you, we don't want to be provincials here! Hyo-bin and Hyo-hwa should be back soon! Wait a minute, talk to them about how to pay off your debts! After dealing with the debt, we will go to Port City with you, where we are poor and have few things of value! Alas! I've been dreaming of leaving here every day since I came here! This time, with your help, our family's dream can finally come true! ”

Soon, Xiaoda and Kexin came back from buying food and drinks, and some daily necessities, they said that the sisters-in-law were busy with business, and they would go home after they were busy with the work at hand, and the nephews and nieces went far away to buy flowers! Perhaps, Kexin's sister-in-law and nephews and nieces will not be able to return home together until after dark in the evening.

......

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Kexin's two older brothers, Wei Xiaobin and Wei Xiaohua, returned, both of them were burly, as tall as me and Xiaoda, and they exuded a strong smell of tobacco!

Wang's mother asked her two brothers to sit down and talk to us!

Wang's mother looked at her two sons and said, "Xiaobin! Hyo-hwa! Xiaoda's own brother Ah Cai! He's the big boss of Port City! How much do you owe the casino owner?! Tell Ah Cai one by one! Ah Cai wants to help you clear these debts! ”

After Brother Xiaobin looked at his mother, he looked at me again and said, "Alas! Ahh We brothers want to get rich! Therefore, it has gone astray! Now, we have gotten into a dead end, and we didn't have much debt at the beginning, which is more than $800,000 with interest! However, we borrowed from the company's loan shark in order to repay the money as soon as possible, and we borrowed money from the company to give the casino customers another loan shark! But, by doing so, we've added more than $1 million to our debt! Therefore, now, we should owe more than $2 million in principal and interest debt to the bookmaker! What a debt this is! We really don't have the ability to clean up these debts! ”

I said, "Brother Xiaobin! Who is the owner of your company? ”

Brother Xiaobin said: "Alas! His name is Li Siyan, he is in his forties, he used to be our neighbor, and now, he is a big brother on the local road! We've been playing with him since we were kids! After graduating from high school, our two brothers had nothing to do, and Li Siyan saw that we were strong, so he asked us to work in their casino! In addition to owing money, we do not have any other holidays with the boss of the company, and Boss Li just asked us to find a way to urge the guests to repay the money, but we are too soft-hearted, we don't want to hurt our guests! ”

I said, "Okay! Now the two of you bring all the IOUs from Li Siyan, and we will go to him right away to pay him back!" These debts must be cleared as soon as possible, otherwise, these debts will become heavier and heavier! ”

Brother Xiaobin said, "Okay! We keep these IOUs and IOUs! Now, let's contact Boss Li Siyan! ”

So, Brother Xiaobin called Li Siyan, and then, Brother Xiaobin and Brother Xiaohua packed a stack of IOUs in a document bag.

After they made the things to negotiate with Boss Li, they took Xiaoda and me out of the house.

The four of us took a taxi at the entrance of the village and went to Li Siyan's house.

At 3 p.m., we arrived at Li Siyan's house.

He lived in a single-family house, surrounded by a high-walled neighborhood, a large mansion, and the house was surrounded by a lot of civilian clothes.

As we entered, several bodyguards searched me and Xiaoda to disarm us.

I showed the work card of the head of the CIA Port City Service Station to a bodyguard leader.

I said, "Look! CIA！ If you lose my gun, you will be bulldozed by the Allies here! Do you understand?! ”

After reading it, the leader gave me the certificate.

The leader saluted me, and then, with a hippie smile, said, "Lieutenant General Jack!" You're welcome to visit! Boss Li is waiting for you in the hall! ”

Then, the leader led the four of us into the courtyard!

This yard is a garden, it is very large, there are yards, wings, buildings, etc!

We passed through the corridor of the courtyard to the main hall living room of the main building.

The leader let us sit in the living room, and then the servants served us tea.

Then, the leader ran upstairs to inform Boss Li that we had come to talk to him about business.

Soon, Boss Li and the leader went downstairs to the living room.

Boss Li, with gold-rimmed eyes! Thin and small, wearing a Tang suit! Boss Li looked at us coldly, and then, he slowly went up and down the master's position.

Boss Li smiled and said, "Lieutenant General Jack! You are indeed a big name in Port City! Brother Wu Renyi and Brother Long Haitao have all mentioned you in front of us! Today, are you here to help Wei Xiaobin and Wei Xiaohua pay back the money?! ”

I said, "Boss Li! Yes! Wei Xiaobin and Wei Xiaohua's two brothers will soon be my eldest brother! I hope that Boss Li can raise his noble hand and give the little brother a convenience! ”

Boss Li said: "Actually, General Jack of the CIA has spoken!" I must have something to say about this, and I'll ask the bookkeeper to settle the bill for them right away! ”

So, Boss Li called an old gentleman and gave him instructions, and after listening to it, the old gentleman went to a room to settle the account.

Soon, the old gentleman took a stack of bills and a calculation sheet for Boss Li to check.

After reading the bill, Boss Li smiled and said, "General Jack! Excuse me! We are businessmen! Xiaobin and Xiaohua owe us more than $3 million in debt! I'll forget the odd money, and now, you give me $3 million, so that the debts of the two brothers in me can be paid off!" ”

Brother Xiaohua stood up suddenly, and he said angrily: "Four-eyed dog! A few days ago, we just made a calculation with the accounting office, and they said that we only owe the company less than $2 million in principal interest! Now, how did you calculate more than $3 million for us?! You're still not human?! ”

Boss Li sneered and said, "Wei Xiaohua! You Gui dog! Today! Lao Tzu saw General Jack's face, so he gave you face and only charged you $3 million! If you settle this debt yourself, I will collect at least $5 million from you, believe it or not?! ”

I said, "Okay! Boss Li, you have a lot of adults! I'll give you $3 million now! Please give me a payment account! ”

Boss Li smiled and said, "General Jack, he is really a cheerful person!" I'll give you the account right away, I have an international call here! You can use my long distance calls for free! ”

So, Boss Li gave me a bank account number, and I remitted $3 million from Zhou Zilong's UBS account to Li Siyan's bank account through the international long-distance phone call in the living room.

After Li Siyan received the money over the phone, he asked Mr. Bookkeeper to issue a receipt of $3 million and handed it to me, and gave Xiaobin and Xiaohua receipts for debt repayment.

Then, Mr. Bookkeeper checked all the IOUs with Hyo-bin and Hyo-hwa, and they burned all the IOUs and bills they kept with Boss Li in a brazier!

After we went through all the debt repayment procedures, Brother Xiaobin handed me all their IOU stubs, and I put them in my briefcase along with the receipts given to us by Boss Li.

Then, we said goodbye to Boss Li and led us out of the mansion.

After leaving the gate of the house, we took a taxi back to Wei's house.
