Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Secret Poison Scheme
Lu Yuting sued Kazuo Yamada to the Guangzhou High Court, accusing Yamada of bullying the market by unscrupulous means, failing to smash it, and burning down the Hongsheng Candy Factory. Because this lawsuit involves the Japanese, the puppet government in Guangzhou is naturally reluctant to intervene in this matter, although they know that Lu Yuting's words are conclusive, the evidence is in hand, and there is also the testimony of the Japanese ronin Hideo Fujii, but because he is afraid of offending the Japanese authorities, he can't think of it, so a simple and clear case has been delayed again and again, and he has refused to close the case for a long time.
Lu Yuting did not give up, using public opinion to put pressure on Yamada, and every day the "Baiyun Daily" published an article alluding to Yamada's "History of the Origin of the Gourd", which made Yamada hate Lu Yuting to the bone and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
Rumors spread that Kazuo Yamada had burned down the Hongsheng Confectionery Factory for his own personal gain, and many of his colleagues were scornful of his filthy acts, and Major General Suzuki of the Army General Staff Headquarters also reprimanded him for undermining the law and order in Guangzhou.
Yamada, who was reprimanded, did not dare to act recklessly and blatantly took action against Lu Yuting, but he was not reconciled, and always tried every possible means to find an opportunity to retaliate and secretly bring down the Lu group.
Yu Rong has gradually grown into a big belly, and Yu Ting shush and ask for warmth every day when she comes back, and sometimes even cooks delicious meals for Yu Rong himself. Xiao'er and Yin'er were both of school age, so Yu Ting sent the two children to school in the private school run by Mr. Zhuang. Ming'er is also very well-behaved, painting at home alone, feeding the birds, and often pestering Yu Ting to tell him stories. The family is happy.
Although Yu Ting's company encountered many troubles, he never complained in front of Yu Rong, he always faced Yu Rong with a smile, and taught Yu Rong to write and blow Xun.
"I used to think that the young master was the most knowledgeable, but now I think you are more knowledgeable than the young master." Yu Rong watched admiringly as Yu Ting wrote calligraphy.
"People are different, Yu Lin's homework is not bad, but he lacks a little long-term heart, and sometimes he is a little impatient, but he has a lot of ghost ideas, and he often does not play cards according to common sense, and he has been determined to join the army since he was a child, worshiping Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang and other famous generals who resist the enemy."
"What about you?" Yu Rong tilted her head and asked curiously.
"My personality is more dull, although I am two years older than Yulin, but when I was a child, he always bullied me, and he came up with all the ghost ideas, but I was scolded more than him. Yulin is very active and doesn't like to be quiet, and he will be tired when he looks at a lot of bills, so the uncle doesn't expect him to develop in the business world, but he thinks that I am a seedling in business, so he has been deliberately cultivating me to become the heir of the Lu Group. If in the peaceful and prosperous era, maybe our Lu family industry can still be carried forward, but now it is a troubled era, China's national industry is difficult to sustain, this Lu Group is also a river, I am really ashamed of the uncle. ”
"Yuting, you have done your best, there are a few companies that can survive in this situation, don't blame yourself."
"Yurong, you are really empathetic." Yu Ting raised his head and cast a grateful glance at Yu Rong.
"Yu Ting, what are you writing here? What does it mean to chant and sit? Yu Rong read these four words word by word.
"To chant and sit means to walk and chant and sit and sing. Describing that they are reading everywhere, I plan to paste this picture in Xiao'er and Yin'er's study so that they can remember to read more. Yu Ting put down the brush and explained to Yu Rong.
"Yu Ting, you are really thoughtful."
"Yurong, you are about to give birth, I think whether you give birth to a boy or a girl, you will be named the word 'Yong', Lu Xuanyong, like Xiao'er, Yin'er, Ming'er, are all next to the word, Yong refers to the precipitation of time and space, long-standing, commendable meaning."
"This name is so good, and the meaning is really good, it's called Lu Xuanyong." Yurong touched her abdomen: "Yong'er, did you hear that?" Daddy has already chosen a good name for you. ”
Kazuo Yamada didn't dare to make any more trouble, but secretly he has always refused to give up, always looking for an opportunity to bring down Lu Yuting and the Lu Group.
One day, he saw Hideo Fujii drunk on the street and stumbling towards the Japanese Kaikan, and Yamada was very angry about this Fujii, and it was he who had identified Yamada in court as the culprit in the fire of the Hongsheng Candy Factory. Therefore, Yamada has always believed that Fujii's betrayal was the direct cause of his reprimand by Suzuki, so he has always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Fujii.
Seeing that Fujii was delirious, Yamada hurriedly asked his men to pull Fujii into the car and then drove in the direction of his apartment.
Fujii was taken to Yamada's apartment, and Yamada's men threw Fujii, who was still drunk, in the courtyard.
"Wake him up."
Yamada's men poured a basin of cold water at Fujii, who suddenly woke up.
"How's it going, Fujii-kun, have you woken up?" Yamada walked into the courtyard and looked at the embarrassed Fujii.
When Fujii saw Yamada, he was immediately frightened: "Yamada-kun, what do you want to do?" ”
"Fujii-kun, were you also drunk in court that day? You are a good subject of the Emperor by talking nonsense and helping the people of China to identify your compatriots! ”
"No, no, no, Yamada-kun, I was forced, I don't want to betray you." Fujii crawled over and hugged Yamada's legs.
"Fujii-kun, look at you like this, how can you be a little like our descendants of the Yamato nation, I am really ashamed of you. In order to let you know that you have lost your way, I specially invited you here, hoping that you can make up for it. ”
"How to make up for it? Yamada-kun. Fujii felt that he was saved, and asked eagerly.
"Use your life to bring down Lu Yuting." Yamada gritted his teeth and said this sentence from his mouth.
"No, no, no, Yamada-kun, I don't want to die, I have to go back to Japan, I want to go home and farm."
"You can only bring shame to Great Japan when you return alive, but your death can bring glory to Great Japan."
Fujii begged Yamada with tears and snot in his eyes, and Yamada glanced at Fujii with disdain, and snorted at his subordinates, who immediately pushed Fujii down, broke Fujii's mouth, and poured a glass of wine.
After a while, Fujii Qiqi bled to death.
Several Japanese ronins carry Fujii's body towards the Hongsheng Candy Factory.
"Why are you here again?" The janitor saw that this group of Japanese ronins was about to enter the factory, and hurriedly blocked the way.
"We want to see Lu Yuting, we want him to pay for his life." The Japanese ronin shouted viciously.
The factory guards ran out and stopped the Japanese ronin at the door.
"Where is Lu Yuting? It was the candy from your factory that killed Fujii-kun. "A Japanese ronin has a lot of words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our sweets killed you Japanese? ”
"Yes, it's this kind of candy, and after Fujii-kun ate it, he died violently." The Japanese ronin pulls out a few magnificent candies from his pocket.
"If our sugar can really poison you Japanese dog offal, that's a great deal." Ah Wei scoffed at this.
"If you don't believe me, I can do experiments in public."
A tall Japanese ronin saw a stray dog on the side of the street, and quickly brought the dog over, took a candy from a grand candy, then peeled off the candy wrapper, threw the candy on the ground, and let the dog lick it. It didn't take long for the stray dog to collapse, limbs outstretched, and die.
"Now you believe it, Fujii-kun just ate your candy to die." The Japanese ronin seems to have the proof.
"Fuck you, shit, our factory produces so much sugar, you will die if you eat it, everyone else is fine, you are framed." Ah Wei and the other workers were very angry, and the Japanese ronin was clearly a man of his own words.
The Japanese ronin did not show weakness, and the two sides were at a stalemate at the gate of the factory, and finally the police came. Took both sides to the police station.
Lu Yuting received the call and hurriedly rushed to the police station.
"Are you the boss of Hongsheng Candy Factory?"
"Yes."
"You are suspected of poisoning Hideo Fujii, and we are going to arrest you."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Here's the proof." The cop pulled out a few grand candies.
"Can I take a look?"
The policeman handed a piece of candy to Lu Yuting, who took it and looked at it carefully.
"Can I get my lawyer to come?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll call my lawyer. Where is the phone? ”
The policeman pouted at the desk, Lu Yuting walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.
"Lawyer Qin? I'm Lu Yuting, I'm in the police station now, the Japanese say that my candy is poisonous, you like this, first assist the police to seal all the candy in our factory, let someone take care of it, and make sure that these candies are not touched. Then, you ask a well-known chemist to come to the police station. Okay, Lawyer Qin, you can do what I say first. ”
Lu Yuting hung up the phone and walked in front of the Japanese ronin.
"To be fair, you'd better hire a Japanese chemist as well, and we'll figure this out at the police station together."
Lu Yuting did not panic, but handled the matter in an orderly and methodical manner, and after making the call, he sat aside and waited quietly.
Hongsheng Candy Factory was seized and all the candy was sealed.
Soon, lawyer Qin brought Yuan Shiqi, a well-known laboratory technician in Guangzhou, to the police station. And the Japanese ronin also invited Saburo Takahashi to test therapists.
Lawyer Qin handed the sealed candy to the two chemists, who found that there was no poison. Then, lawyer Qin handed over the candy of the Japanese ronin to two chemists, and the result was the same, the candy contained a highly toxic ingredient: arsenic. After that, lawyer Qin disrupted a pile of candies and asked two chemists to conduct tests at the same time, and the results of the tests were the same, some contained arsenic, and some were not poisonous.
Lawyer Qin handed over the pile of candy to the police: "Mr. policeman, you see, these candies labeled with arsenic are all from the Japanese ronin, and these candies without poison are all sealed candies, and I have marked them." You see. Lawyer Qin pointed to the fact that there was a small red dot on each sealed candy wrapper, which could not be seen at all if you didn't look carefully, but there was no small red dot on the candy wrapper provided by the Japanese ronin.
The police chief came over, looked at it, and nodded.
