In 1959, what's wrong with me pedaling a tricycle?

Over the next two days, Wang Xingguo went on a scouting spree, visiting more than a dozen locations, including foreign firms, police station warehouses, and triad strongholds.

On his fourth day in Hong Kong, Wang Xingguo began to take action!

At two o'clock in the morning, he ran to the Daimaru Trading Company. After getting close, he planted the four Japanese soldiers who were changing shifts in his space, and then directly took away the warehouse door. The cut of the steel door was smooth and flat!

After a quick tidying up, Wang Xingguo finished packing up the items and left.

Then they went directly to the gambling den of the Wo Shing Wo triad not far away and took away the safe containing the money.

Next were the warehouses of Jardine Matheson, the No. 3 pier of Kowloon Wharf, the warehouses in the backyard of Yau Ma Tei Police Station, and the warehouse complex on Shanghai Street in Mong Kok...

After visiting these locations, Wang Xingguo had no more chances to make a move, as the police had been alerted and various gangs had also discovered the theft. As a result, there were cars and people everywhere, and both the legitimate and criminal worlds were investigating what had happened.

Wang Xingguo knew he had no chance this time, but he had still managed to get a lot of money: over 350 kilograms of gold, over 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, over 800,000 British pounds in cash, and over 300,000 US dollars.

He also had plenty of other supplies, so he contacted a ship and started his journey back to Guangzhou.

After returning to Guangzhou, Wang Xingguo found a warehouse near Huangpu Wharf, released most of the goods, and then went to the local Public Security Bureau to request contact with the Wang family's former leader.

Because it was a call from a former leader, we used a dedicated line to contact him directly, and the call was connected an hour later.

Wang Xingguo reported the situation. He didn't say much, only that he had encountered the Japanese warehouse and couldn't help but hire people to bring the goods back. It would take at least ten train cars to transport them.

The old leader on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, wanting to scold the brat, but then he thought about what he had said—that the kid must have run into the Japanese to do something like this—and couldn't bring himself to scold him.

"Alright, take half of the stuff back, and leave the other half to Guangzhou to handle. They can add more freight cars for transport. Kid, remember to be more careful next time, and don't be so impulsive."

Wang Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Old leader, I couldn't resist. So many of my great-grandfathers died at the hands of the Japanese, and now I have such a good opportunity. If I don't do anything, how can I be human?"

It was only because of this incident that the old leader didn't say anything to Wang Xingguo; otherwise, he would have been scolded long ago for his antics.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xingguo contacted the people on this side and then went to divide up the supplies in that warehouse.

First, Wang Xingguo wanted to take half of the canned goods, cigarettes, alcohol, chocolate, candy, medicine, grain, and cloth back with him. There were also some medical equipment and various devices and instruments that he couldn't understand, but Wang Xingguo didn't want any of those.

Because the specific uses of these items still need to be reported to higher authorities in Guangzhou, how they will allocate them is their business.

As for how Wang Xingguo managed to get the goods back, his former superiors said they wouldn't pursue the matter, so Wang Xingguo successfully set off back to Beijing with five train cars full of stuff.

Wang Xingguo arrived in Hong Kong on February 2 and then returned to Beijing on February 9.

Wang Xingguo's shipment wouldn't last long, because even Minister Liu was alarmed by the matter, as there were too many nutritional supplements in the shipment.

In the end, Wang Xingguo managed to secure 10,000 jin of rice, 10,000 jin of flour, 3,000 cans of luncheon meat, 2,000 cans of beef, 30 cases of foreign cigarettes, 500 bottles of foreign liquor, 500 boxes of chocolate, 40 bolts of foreign cloth, 3,000 jin of brown sugar, and various other miscellaneous goods such as condensed milk, which amounted to about one freight carload.

Because there were too many good things, Wang Xingguo really couldn't keep too many. Given his rank in his unit, giving him so many things was already a favor because of the hard work he had put into bringing them back.

If other departments bring back items, they don't receive this treatment; everything has to be handed over and redistributed. This is the normal procedure.

The Western medicines and antibiotics obtained from the Japanese were extremely difficult to acquire; even the Municipal Bureau of Commerce couldn't take them themselves, but instead handed them over to relevant departments for processing.

Wang Xingguo's administrative rank was raised to level 16, which, according to later rank classifications, would make him a deputy division-level cadre.

This was a benefit that his former boss had secured for him. After all, although he had impulsively done some less-than-honorable things, he had actually managed to get the items back.

Wang Xingguo was unaware that the instruments and equipment he received from the foreign firm, though not high-end products, were quite valuable. When the report came back from Guangzhou, even his old superiors were somewhat surprised.

According to statistics from staff in Guangzhou, the total value of this batch of instruments and equipment exceeds six million US dollars!

That's why the old leader was able to cover up for Wang Xingguo; after all, the value of the things he brought back was undeniable.

Regardless of how he got it back, his contributions are undeniable, and we can't erase them because of some less-than-honorable methods.

The two trucks at the night market made four trips to haul away all the goods belonging to the night market.

Wang Xingguo began arranging for everyone to receive additional year-end bonuses, including two cans of luncheon meat, one can of beef, one can of condensed milk, and one pound of brown sugar for each person.

Wang Xingguo returned home with a pile of things, which he proudly presented to his wife, younger brother, and younger sister.

Li Xiuping ate a chocolate candy and said happily, "Honey, this stuff is so sweet, so fragrant and delicious! How can there be such a delicious candy?"

Wang Xingguo laughed and said, "Even if it's delicious, you can't eat too much of it, because it can cause cavities."

Shen Qingqing chuckled and said, "It's not that easy to get cavities. Just brush your teeth after eating. But Xingguo, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to bring back so much stuff?"

Wang Xingguo said with a smile, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. These are all things I worked hard to get back. Whoever has the ability to get them back can take more."

In fact, Wang Xingguo left quite a few things in the space, since he couldn't take too many out, and the rented warehouse was also limited and couldn't hold too many things.

It was only a little past three in the afternoon. His younger siblings were already on holiday, but his older brother was still at work. Wang Xingguo chatted with them for a while, then took his change of clothes to the public bathhouse.

After soaking in the bath for a while and getting a thorough scrub, Wang Xingguo felt completely refreshed after rinsing off.

During those few days in Hong Kong, he was actually quite nervous, after all, he was going to do bad things. The main thing was that he had some psychological burden and didn't want to plant his own people in the ground.

As for those Japanese, Indians, and foreigners, it doesn't matter. He planted about thirty of them, and Wang Xingguo plans to deal with them when he has time. Leaving them in the space feels a bit unsettling.

Someone always has to take responsibility. Because of Wang Xingguo's vote and the disappearance of some foreigners, many gangs have had their venues swept up repeatedly recently.

Wang Xingguo has done a good deed for the ordinary people there. At least for the next month, no gang will dare to cause trouble. After all, things are tense right now, and anyone who jumps out will be in trouble!
