Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

Inside the suite at the guesthouse, Liu Kun, Pepper, and the others had already left. Yamada Inuro and Watanabe Masumi were studying the blueprint repeatedly, becoming increasingly alarmed, but also ecstatic. To them, the exquisite parameters of the hydrogen engine on the blueprint were simply the key to the future.

"Matsumi-san, our trip to China was worthwhile. We finally got the future R&D project the company wanted."

After watching Watanabe Masumi photograph the blueprint with a miniature camera, Yamada Inuro took one last look at the blueprint, then picked it up, folded it in half, tore it into several pieces, went to the bathroom, lit it with a lighter, and waited until the blueprint was reduced to ashes before scooping up a large basin of water and washing the ashes away.

After putting away the miniature camera, Watanabe Masumi sat down on the sofa with a smile, crossed her legs, and smoked a cigarette. "I didn't expect the Chinese to still be so short-sighted, still betraying their own compatriots for a little bit of petty gain, hahaha!"

Yamada Inuro remained noncommittal, "Matsumi-san, don't underestimate the Chinese. Although they are very greedy, they are only a small part of the population. The rest of the Chinese are still very difficult opponents."

"But they have a large population, and even this small group is enough for us to infiltrate them. Since they like money, and money is the cheapest thing in the world, I think we can make a big deal out of it in the future and get them to help promote the 'good character' of our Japan!"

"Yoshi! Inurou-san's words really hit the nail on the head. During our time in China, I can feel the deep hostility that Chinese people have towards Japan. This is not good for Japan's future development. When we go back, we must report this and reverse this situation that is not good for our future," Watanabe Masumi said with a serious expression.

"It's time to have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs speed up its 'propaganda' efforts in China. The Chinese government is already preparing for internal reforms. They are a huge company and will be our biggest competitor in the future. We must first crush their national self-confidence." Yamada Inuro agreed with Watanabe Masumi's suggestion, and the two continued to discuss in detail how to return to Japan after obtaining the subsequent blueprints.

After receiving the $100,000 from Yamada, Liu Kun happily drove back to the old town. The next day, he met with Liang Jianjun again and placed the remaining $200,000 in cash heavily in front of Liang Jianjun. "Section Chief Liang, here is $200,000. Count it. If it's correct, give me the rest of the blueprints. If you have any more blueprints later, as long as they are still of this quality, we'll still charge $300,000."

Liang Jianjun pulled open the zipper in surprise, revealing bundles of hundred-dollar bills inside. He casually picked up a bundle, grinning, "Brother Liu, you're really efficient. Since you're so straightforward, I won't hold back anymore. Here are the rest of the blueprints for you."

Liu Kun and Black Pepper watched as Liang Jianjun opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of blueprints in an envelope, and placed it on the table. Liu Kun quickly grabbed it, tore open the envelope, and began to read.

The blueprints were densely covered with various lines and patterns, as well as all sorts of scribbles, numbers, and foreign words. Not to mention Liu Kun, who was an uneducated person, even Chen Zaisheng, a college student, would have been completely clueless if he hadn't asked the technicians in the R&D department how to read the blueprints.

The only thing Liu Kun could confirm was that the blueprints Liang Jianjun provided did contain drawings, and weren't just blank sheets of paper. As for whether they were real or fake, Liu Kun wasn't afraid that Liang Jianjun was deceiving him. As long as Yamada Inuro confirmed that they were real, everything would be fine.

If it's fake, Liu Kun will show Liang Jianjun just how ruthless the methods of thugs and gangsters can be!

Old Liu was still keeping watch in the old street when he saw Liang Jianjun come out of Liu Kun's foreign exchange point again. This time, he was carrying a bag, and judging from the weight of it, there was probably a lot of money inside.

"Captain Liu, what exactly does the station mean? They've already gone this far, aren't we going to make the arrests?" Xiao Du asked, somewhat unwillingly, as he watched Liang Jianjun walk out of the old street with his bag.

"What Director Wang means is that the Municipal Bureau wants us to be cautious in taking action, since it involves foreign businessmen from Japan. As you know, Tuocheng is now a special economic zone, and every move we make has to be mindful of its political implications," Old Liu was actually a little annoyed, but he still had to use official language to deal with Xiao Du.

As soon as Liang Jianjun stepped out of the old street and pressed the car key, the "Zhaoyebai" started chirping. Just as Liang Jianjun was about to open the car door and get in, two men with buzz cuts flanked him from both sides, each grabbing one of his hands and whispering, "Don't move. We're from the National Security Bureau. We need your cooperation. Don't make a sound. Come with us."

Without giving Liang Jianjun a chance to react, they snatched the car keys from his hand, and one of them sat in the driver's seat to start the car. At this moment, Liang Jianjun tried to turn his head to look, but unexpectedly, another person came from behind, pressed Liang Jianjun's head down, and the two of them forced Liang Jianjun to sit in the back seat.

"Comrades, you must have made a mistake. I am the deputy head of the purchasing department at Xiaochi Company..."

"Liang Jianjun, we have no mistake," the driver called out Liang Jianjun's name without even turning his head. "You are suspected of stealing core blueprints of the state and important enterprises and engaging in transactions with foreign forces, which is suspected of endangering national security. We have solid evidence, and this visit is not without reason."

"Comrades, comrades, you've misunderstood," Liang Jianjun hurriedly tried to wave his hand to signal them, but was firmly held down by the two National Security officers sitting on either side of him. One of them even scolded, "Behave yourself!"

"Comrade, I really didn't steal the blueprints. You can contact our company's Manager Chen Zaisheng. He knows the whole story." Liang Jianjun was indeed a little flustered at this moment. Being taken away by the National Security Bureau was a first for him in his life.

"We will naturally contact the people at Xiaochi Company. As for your own issues, you can explain them clearly when you get to the police station and try to get leniency from the government. Don't even think about resisting to the end!"

"The reason we were able to come and take you back to the station is because we've been watching you for a long time and have gathered a lot of evidence. Think it over carefully and confess everything truthfully when you get back to the station."

What am I supposed to explain?!

Liang Jianjun was feeling incredibly wronged. In his heart, he kept shouting, "Chen Zaisheng, Manager Chen, you'd better come over here and explain this to me!"
