Chapter 1191 Swallowing Your Bite
Long Sihai trembled all over, not daring to raise his head, and said "Hai."
Shizuka Fujiwara continued.
"Immediately recall Hayako and the rest of the people. Taro, it doesn't matter if you fail on other missions, as long as you win these bets just once, the credit will be huge. But if you lose, you will have to commit seppuku in front of everyone to atone for your sins."
"Hai!"
Long Sihai wasn't worried at all. He used the two bottles of virus as a wager. They had only brought eighteen bottles with them this time. They had used two bottles from the two water sources, leaving sixteen bottles. That meant he could gamble with Da Bao eight times. If he couldn't win even once out of eight times, then Long Sihai felt that he should commit seppuku. He wouldn't have the face to face the world if he didn't die.
Long Sihai ran to the balcony of the Peninsula Hotel, took out two explosives from his chest, and lit them. Surprisingly, they turned into two fireworks, but the explosives were stronger and they shot higher.
While others weren't looking, Long Sihai secretly took two explosives and hid them in his sleeve. His sleeve was specially made so that it was impossible to see anything inside. However, he didn't know that Da Bao had replaced the gunpowder in the explosives with sand. He could have replaced them all, but Da Bao discovered that four of them were actually magic bullets that children from later generations played with. Knowing that they must be for communication, he replaced them back.
Long Sihai returned to the casino. Da Bao and Guo Yingnan sat together, with Lou Bancheng sitting next to them. Da Bao truly admired Lou Bancheng's boldness.
No wonder they amassed such great wealth amidst years of war; it's a pity they had no successor, with only Lou Xiao'e as their daughter.
About twenty minutes later, three women walked in. All three women were wearing Japanese kimonos. The one walking in front was Tachibana Hayako, followed by Long Sihai's two concubines, Cha Zi Yan Hong, each carrying two small leather suitcases.
Tachibana Hayako approached Fujiwara Shizuka, bowed, took the long sword from Fujiwara Shizuka's hand, and stepped behind her. Since she entered the casino, she hadn't looked at anyone except Fujiwara Shizuka. Based on Daibo's years of experience as a police officer, this woman must be a pervert.
Long Sihai said to Da Bao with a smile.
"Young Master Qin, I've got my bargaining chip. Shall we begin?"
……
In the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel, Robert and Strauss were anxiously awaiting the Department of Health's report when three Japanese women walked in through the door and entered the casino without looking at them.
Seeing Robert and the others acting so strangely, a waiter rushed over anxiously and whispered a few words in Chen Zhichao's ear. Chen Zhichao was delighted and took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand.
Chen Zhichao came to Robert's side and whispered to the two of them.
"Sir, Young Master Qin and a few Japanese soldiers are having a gambling game. Young Master Qin has put up all his assets in Macau, including his own, to gamble with the Japanese on these viruses. The women who went in just now were carrying suitcases containing all the remaining viruses."
Robert and Strauss looked at Chen Zhichao with surprise. This was truly an unexpected joy. There were more than fifty water sources in Hong Kong that could supply water. If the virus were released there, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Now I can finally relax," the Director of Health said, rushing over with joy.
"Sir, we've located it. It's in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok. Fortunately, the amount of virus is not large. Both water sources have been cut off, but they have also been completely covered up and will not be used for the next ten years."
Robert's expression was extremely grave. This virus was so powerful. Ten years? It would take ten years to purify these two water sources. You must know that since 1926, Hong Kong has had a well-developed medical system to fight viruses. Even so, these two water sources still had to be completely sealed off. You can imagine how powerful the virus that the Japanese developed must be.
Robert straightened up, looked in the direction of the casino, and said to Strauss.
"Thanks to Young Master Qin, the losses were minimized this time. Joseph, let's make our move. Wipe out the Fujiwara family in Hong Kong. They need to know how foolish it is to threaten the government of a region."
At this moment, Peter Wang from HSBC walked over dejectedly and said listlessly.
"The Governor ordered us to conduct an internal investigation. Before that, we had to compensate Fujiwara Shizuka with these five tons of gold. Otherwise, he would consider canceling HSBC's right to issue banknotes. These five tons of gold have already been delivered and are stored in the truck outside."
HSBC had to swallow its anger; it couldn't believe that its safe deposit boxes, so securely locked, could have contained the stolen goods. But for the sake of the bank's reputation and the Governor's orders,
HSBC executives decided that the matter should not be escalated. They preferred that the bank itself compensate for the five tons of gold in order to quell the incident first, since the value of the five tons of gold was negligible compared to the bank's reputation and the power to issue currency.
Strauss directed the police to begin making arrests. Robert and Peter Wang walked into the casino side by side, and everyone turned to look at them.
Peter sighed and shook his head. He had suffered a huge loss, and he estimated that HSBC would experience a major personnel upheaval this time, and he would also suffer some consequences.
"Ladies and gentlemen, HSBC is renowned for its reputation and would never do anything to harm its customers. As for whether there was embezzlement, we believe that an investigation would not take more than two hours. Therefore, HSBC has decided that we will compensate Ms. Fujiwara Shizuka for five tons of gold."
We deeply regret all the unnecessary consequences this has caused. Starting tomorrow, HSBC will implement comprehensive security upgrades to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again.
Indeed, HSBC's move was extremely clever. It seemed like they were dealt a bad hand, but they played it brilliantly and became a winner. The wealthy people present all nodded in agreement. Based on HSBC's reputation, they would also transfer some of their assets to HSBC.
Fujiwara Shizuka was overjoyed. She had five tons of gold, and she figured she wouldn't face too much blame when she returned to her family. Half of these wealthy people's assets would belong to her, and she could hand over a portion to the Yamaguchi-gumi. As a reward for her contributions, she could become the second-in-command. Perhaps she could even break with tradition and become the Yamaguchi-gumi's first female leader.
What pleased her most was that she had managed to bring Da Bao under her wing and, incidentally, take over half of Macau. In this high-stakes gamble, she was the real winner.
Fujiwara Shizuka turned and whispered a few words to Tachibana Hayako. Tachibana Hayako nodded, presented the knife to Fujiwara Shizuka, and then left. Da Bao glanced at her sideways. This woman must have gone to hide the gold. That's absolutely unacceptable! This gold, in its origin, was looted by Mao Rengui and belongs to China. Anyone who dares to take it will have their hands chopped off.
