Chapter 165 The person sent by the declaration office
"Boy, do you know who I am?" He Laoliu endured the huge pain in his chest and began to grin and fight back with bravado.
"Of course I know. Who doesn't know He Laoliu, the famous captain of the security team of the Meishan Town Mining Area? I also know that you are the direct brother of He Renbao, the second manager of Yaojin Mining." Chen Tianhua curled his lips and said contemptuously.
"Oh...since you all know, why do you dare to attack me?! Aren't you afraid that your whole family will die afterwards?" He Laoliu became fierce.
"Shut up! How dare you threaten this young master? You are seeking death." Chen Tianhua snapped.
What he hated most in his life was unwarranted threats from his opponents.
While he was roaring in a low voice, he flicked his wrist, and the short-handled pipe in his hand was like a hidden weapon, flying towards He Laoliu's head with a "whoosh...".
"oops…"
There was a scream, and the pipe hit the lower left side of his forehead.
He Laoliu hurriedly covered his left eye with his hand. After a while, bright red blood slowly seeped out from between his fingers.
A heartbreaking pain hit him, and he knelt on the ground and grinned, moaning in a low voice, but he had to hold back and did not dare to speak louder for fear of causing death.
My left eye is probably dead, but it’s important to save my life first.
"Listen, He Laoliu, I have no intention of killing you. As long as you cooperate well, I will ensure that you and Cuixiangyuan are safe. But if you dare to talk more or play any tricks, I will kill you and Cuixiang today.
Everything in Xiangyuan.”
As he spoke, a strong evil aura rushed towards He Laoliu, making him shudder.
"Good man... Oh, young master, we have something to say... easy to talk to, don't be impulsive!" He Laoliu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He racked his brains, but he still didn't know that there was a person named Young Master in Jianghu. Could it be that he broke in from outside the country? How did he come?
He really wants to know who this young master is.
But one thing he felt was that this person called the Young Master was definitely a cold-faced killer.
In this area of Meishan Town, He Laoliu's vicious reputation is enough to scare away all ghosts and monsters, he is ruthless and brutal, and he kills people without batting an eyelid.
But today when he met this young master who was even more ruthless than him, he could only give in.
Who doesn’t want to live and who keeps saying that they are not afraid of death will have a very strong desire to survive at a critical moment.
Even if you are a human being, you are still afraid of death.
"I would like to ask you, how are the two reporters, a man and a woman, who were imprisoned by you a few days ago?" Chen Tianhua asked suddenly.
"Reporter?" He Laoliu was stunned after hearing this, "Oh...are you talking about those two fake foreign devils, the interviewer from the Shanghai Declaration Office?"
"Yes...that's the two of them, where are they being held?" Chen Tianhua nodded and remained calm, continuing the interrogation very calmly.
It turned out to be interviews from two Shanghai declaration offices.
Chen Tianhua thought to himself.
Shanghai Shenbao Pavilion is the well-known publisher and distributor of Shenbao at home and abroad. It was once known as the encyclopedia of modern Chinese history.
It is a large newspaper with a British background. It was founded by the British Ernest Mecha in the Tongzhi period. It has a publishing and distribution history of 30 years.
The current newspaper, in terms of scale, influence and circulation, is the largest and most influential newspaper in the Qing Dynasty and even in Southeast Asia.
Many of the reporting staff are current high-level intellectuals. Most of them have studied abroad or have foreign ancestry, and are proficient in English and handling newspaper requests.
These compradors are now called fake foreign devils by the people of the Qing Dynasty.
"The two of them are... locked up in the brigade headquarters..."
Now, He Laoliu finally understood the origins of these two fierce gods.
Damn it, it turned out to be two killers sent by the Shanghai Declaration Office to find someone.
"Did you punish them?" Chen Tianhua's face sank, he made a cold and angry voice, and his eyes flashed coldly.
"Um, this...I don't know very well, it's all under Scar's control."
He Laoliu shirks his responsibility with a guilty conscience. When he gets nervous, his voice becomes sharp.
Three days ago, he received a quick report from the mining headquarters, saying that the two men and women who were openly active in the town were spies sent by British foreigners, and ordered them to be imprisoned.
Unexpectedly, the man struggled to resist during the arrest and his thigh was broken on the spot.
During the interrogation, in order to get them to hand over the hidden things, the men were tortured almost to death, and the women were also tortured.
These two men and women had a gold-plated "Pass" on their bodies. No one in the foreign language recognized them. They only recognized the five Chinese characters for "Shanghai Declaration Office".
This man and woman have been left in the cell of the brigade headquarters for three days. He really doesn't know whether they are dead or alive, but the result will definitely be tragic.
Of course, He Laoliu didn't dare to say so much, for fear that his life would be lost in the eldest young master's rage.
Chen Tianhua did not see the scene and did not know the outcome, so of course there would be no emotional changes.
He took a long breath and said patiently and carefully:
"He Laoliu, we have no choice but to take this step this time. It is not aimed at you and Cuixiangyuan. We just want to take away these two male and female colleagues!"
He simply pretended to be someone from the Shanghai Declaration Office.
"Oh...did I hear you right? What did you just say?"
After hearing this, He Laoliu's slender body suddenly trembled, and his voice became even more high-pitched.
Without the order or permission from the mining headquarters, you want to take away two injured hostages in the enclosed town of Meishan?
The surrounding area and the radius of hundreds of miles are all the territory of Yaojin Mining. Isn’t this just an idiot’s dream?
Chen Tianhua naturally estimated the situations and difficulties he might face, so he was fully mentally prepared.
He went to such great lengths and risked losing his life at any time and place to save these two people who had never met before and now found out they were from the declaration office. Was he crazy?
Before deciding to take action, Mao Xin and Zuo Gang both doubted and reminded them of these words. Of course, the tone was very polite and they did not accuse or say, 'Are you crazy?'
What he didn't say, but what his expression showed, was probably what he meant.
Of course Chen Tianhua is not crazy.
He was sensitive to the fact that this matter was not trivial. The declaration office sent people not just to report some appalling mining disaster in Meishan Town, but to conduct on-the-spot investigation of something that was little known and involved British interests.
What people didn't expect was that the bosses of Yaojin Mining actually dared to risk the disapproval of the world and ordered the detention and secret interrogation.
This is definitely not what the bandits and gangsters like Yaojin Mining had in mind. It must be the order of the boss behind the scenes.
Chen Tianhua's decision to save people was not just out of justice and humanitarianism, but because he wanted to find out the truth behind it.
He sensitively believes that the truth behind this should be very beneficial to his development in this life and the late Qing Dynasty.
I saw him looking directly at He Laoliu with falcon-like eyes, his face sullen and he said nothing.
The sharp cold light stung He Laoliu, who had to freeze the smile on his face and tightly cover his left eye with his hand.
How could He Laoliu be his opponent in this kind of close-range psychological warfare?
"Then...then may I ask what you want...to do with me?" He Laoliu was in a panic at the moment, and he couldn't hold his nerve at all, so he asked.
This was what Chen Tianhua needed. He stood up and took a step forward, standing diagonally opposite He Laoliu. His tall body was like a wall, giving the other party a strong sense of oppression.
