Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 327 One step away

   "Sean?! Where did Comrade Apu-Verak go?" False Boyne paused and asked.

"Comrade Verak? I don't know. I didn't see it. I was woken up by the gunshots and came to you immediately. What happened?" Verak looked innocent, but put his hands on his waist , in order to be able to attack immediately when recognized.

"Damn it, that kid dared to run away by himself..." Fake Boyin mistakenly thought that Upton didn't go to Veraker, but ran away first, "Long story short, the government's pursuers are coming, we need to evacuate now !"

  Verak saw that the other party was flustered and didn’t recognize his identity even after washing his face, so he gave full play to his acting skills: "The people from the government are here?! How could it be?! Aren't we always being cautious?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! What we have to do now is to evacuate as soon as possible! Otherwise, we will all die here!" Fake Boyin, who vaguely felt that Verak's appearance looked familiar, kicked open the door opposite him, and came quickly. When he went to the window, the scene outside made his heart cold.

  There are countless people behind the hotel.

   The hotel is completely surrounded!

   "It's over, it's over...we're going to die..." Fake Keating sat on the ground again holding the gun, no matter how hard Fake Morais pulled it, he couldn't pull it up.

   "What should I do?! Think of a solution!" Fake Morais urged Fake Boyne.

   "Shut up! Shut up, everyone!" Fake Boin roared, trying to calm down his emotions, and came to Verak, "Comrade Sean!"

   "President!" Verak straightened his back.

   "This is the biggest crisis that our Equality Society has ever encountered! We—" Fake Boyin thought hard about what words to use to infect Veraker, making him willing to sacrifice his life at this time.

Unexpectedly, Verak interrupted him, and took the initiative to say: "President! Remember what I said! I really want to join the Equality Association and do some practical things! You guys find a way to leave, I will stop those people! "

   "But you will..." Fake Boyin couldn't bear it.

   "I can do things for you, and I will die without regret!" Verak regarded death as home.

"Okay!" Fake Boyin wiped his moved tears, and handed the gun of Fake Keating, who was sitting paralyzed and incapacitated, to Veraker, "You hold this gun for self-defense, do you know how to use it? , pull the sleeve—”

   "Verak!"

  Suddenly, a member of the fake gang screamed.

  Fake Boyin frowned and looked at the subordinate: "He's back?"

   "It's him! Sean is Verak!" The man finally recognized Verak's true identity.

   "What?" Fake Boyin hasn't reacted yet.

"He said I'm Verak." Verak took the gun skillfully and loaded it, then pulled out the gun from his waist with the other hand, and aimed at the fake Boin, who was the only gun in the counterfeit gang present. And Fake Morais, "Do You Think I Look Like Me?"

"you-"

   "Boom boom!"

   Two consecutive grabs, fake Boyne and fake Morais were shot and fell to the ground.

"Don't move!" Verac pointed his gun at the other seven members of the fake gang, and kicked aside the pistols dropped by the fake Boyne and the fake Morais, "If you are caught by us, you may still have a way out , but if you dare to escape or resist now, you will surely die!"

   "We don't want to escape, don't shoot, don't shoot!" No one in the room dared to move under the sight of a gun. They knew that even if they could escape from Verak's grasp, they would have no hope of leaving the hotel alive. It might be the safest place to stay here.

   "Ahem...cough cough..." Fake Boyin choked blood from his mouth, and he convulsed while looking at Verak in disbelief.

  Verak glanced indifferently at the dying fake Boin, and ordered the other seven people to raise their hands and line up facing the wall on one side.

   At this time, Benedict rushed over three steps at a time, leading the people over: "Are you okay?!"

   "I'm fine." Verak put down the gun, "The fake Boyne, the fake Morais, and the fake me are all dead, and the rest have no weapons. You can deal with it."

   "Okay." Seeing that a large group of deceived people was about to rush in, Benedict pulled Verak behind him, lest they misunderstand Verak as a member of a counterfeit gang, "They are here! They have been subdued by us!"

The corpse of the fake Morais in the room and the dying fake Boyin frightened the people who had just rushed in, but in front of Qian, they quickly dispelled their fear and controlled the seven fakes who were still alive. stand up.

  At this time, the angry people almost filled the entire hotel, and the room they were in was almost too big for people to stand up.

   "Everyone has been arrested! They are indeed liars! Everyone, run away! Otherwise, how can we let them return the money to us!"

   "Get out! Don't squeeze in!"

   "Everyone make room! We have to make them give us our money back!"

  Under the organization of the comrades in the substation, the people finally stabilized a little and cleared a way for the corridor.

   "Verak, you go first, let us take care of this." There are still many things to be busy, Benedict dragged Verac to a hidden place and whispered.

  They made such a big commotion, and people from the government would come over at any time. It would be dangerous for Verak to stay here with such a sensitive identity.

   "Can you do it? I'm afraid the government will suspect us among the people." Verak worried.

"Don't worry, we haven't caused any trouble. The government doesn't know our identities at all. Even if they suspect that thousands of people have been deceived, he can't arrest them all." Benedict and the others haven't been exposed to the government's sight. Wanted in the middle, there will be no trouble in participating in the "spontaneous" arrests of the people from beginning to end.

   "Then I'll go back to the warehouse first." Verac thought for a while, and thought that there was still some aftermath work to be done on the counterfeit gang. He went to the temporary warehouse site and Keating still had a lot of things to discuss.

   Benedict shook his head: "No, Comrade Keating, they all went to the Nak Weaving Factory, you can go directly to the Weaving Factory to see everyone."

   "Is that so." Verak smiled.

  He understood that Keating did this so that he would not have to run back and forth, so that he could not only understand the situation of the factory that he was particularly concerned about, but also hold a meeting directly to discuss the follow-up matters.

   "Then I'm leaving." Verak put the gun away, "By the way, these people know my identity, and they cannot be allowed to return to the government alive."

"Of course, we will make this group of scum pay the price, and the government will definitely not dare to take over now." Benedict and the others have long ago decided to completely deal with this group of counterfeit people who use equality to make money, not just to ensure Verac's whereabouts are not exposed, and more importantly, it serves as a deterrent, telling those criminals who want to think about the Equality Society that it is not just a rotten fish and a rotten shrimp that can imitate the Equality Society.

   "Waiting for your good news!" After speaking, Veraker lowered his head for fear of being recognized by others, and squeezed out of the crowd to the outside of the hotel.

Benedict watched Verac leave, and then quickly entered the state to maintain order in the hotel: "Everyone, don't mess! Let me ask them about the whereabouts of their money! Tell me! Where did you hide the money that lied to us! "

   "Hey!" Nord, who was controlling the scene outside to prevent the people from getting out of control, saw Verak come out, and it was inconvenient to call him by name, so he stepped forward and patted his shoulder.

"You're here too." Verac grinned and noticed Catherine on the other side, "I heard that you didn't express your opinion when Teacher Keating arranged the action, but when you heard that Catherine was coming, you immediately applied to come together. You value **** over friends."

   "No way, didn't I obey Teacher Keating's arrangement, and saw that Teacher Keating didn't plan to arrange me, so I applied to participate." Nord smiled and defended.

   "Okay, I'll go to the weaving factory to meet Mr. Keating first, pay attention to your safety here, and we'll talk about it when we go back." After joking, Verak seriously told Nord.

  Nord nodded: "Do you know the way back?"

   "Remember, I'm leaving and I'll wait for you to come back." The guards would come over at any time, Verak didn't stay any longer, waved to Catherine, who had also seen him, and left quickly.

  —

  Around twelve o'clock

  Nack Weaving Mill

   Keating, Winston, Old Meren, and Andre estimated the time when Verac would return, and stood at the factory gate waiting to be greeted.

   After waiting for five minutes, a black shadow approached from the side of the road.

   "Teacher! Winston! Comrade Melen! Comrade Andre!" Seeing four people waiting for him at the door, Veraker specially accelerated his pace and rushed to them, shaking hands and embracing one of them.

   "Are you all right?" Keating patted Veraker's back lightly when he hugged Veraker.

   "Of course it's okay." Verak laughed.

  Winston said from the side: "Is the trouble solved?"

   "I killed the fake Boyne, the fake Morais, and the fake self. They are not in any danger, and it depends on how to deal with the aftermath." Verac briefly explained what happened to the counterfeit gang.

   "It seems that marksmanship is good." Keating joked.

   In the past, Verac's marksmanship was so stinky that everyone in the equality meeting had heard about it. This time, Keating couldn't help but be surprised that he was able to fight ten against one and kill three of them.

  Verak didn't have the nerve to admit that his marksmanship had improved, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "The main reason is that the distance is one or two meters, two or three meters away. If I can't hit people in the eyes, it will really be a big problem."

  Old Meren laughed straight: "Come on, let's go in and talk."

   "Okay." Verak followed the group back to the office of the weaving factory, sat on the sofa and drank a cup of warm water.

"Comrade Benedict should have told you about the situation. Since the counterfeit gang has handed over 70% of the money they defrauded every day, the money they have left is far from enough to pay off all the people. I plan to let the Equality Association come forward. Make up for the losses of the deceived people." Keating went straight to the point and talked about the follow-up work.

"But the biggest problem is that these counterfeiters have not carefully registered the information of the deceived people at all, and even just recorded a name and can remember it wrong. How can we accurately distribute the money to the real deceived people?" Verac had no idea anyway.

   But they are not worried about money.

If someone else applied for this matter, they might not be able to pass it, but Keating contributed the 200 million gold that he instinctively embezzled to the Equality Association. Now he has to approve a special sum of money to deal with official business, and Boyin has to sell whatever he wants. He readily agrees.

"There is no solution to this matter. We will never win this secret battle unscathed. I plan to make up for the losses of the people even if there are some impostors who will overpay the money. After all, tens of thousands of gold grams It won't ruin the development of the Equality Society, but ten gold grams can destroy a poor family." Keating said.

   "Well..." Verak nodded slightly.

   It is a blessing to be able to prevent the seriousness of the situation, and it is not unacceptable to come forward to help the deceived now.

And just as Keating said, those who trust the Equality Association are poor people. The ten gold grams they put out must have been cobbled together by frugality. The Equality Association cannot live up to their trust. It is impossible to watch this group of sincere people suffer unbearable losses because of equality.

"However, we are not so stupid. Anyone who comes here will be given ten gold grams for free. The registration form of the counterfeit organization is still of reference value. Coupled with the visits and investigations of comrades in the sub-station, we must ensure that as much as possible Less fraudulent claims, let alone let any real deceived be left unaccounted for." Keating has a rough plan, "It may take several months to deal with it, and the final cost may exceed 20,000 gold grams , but it's all worth it."

   "It's worth it." Verak agreed with this sentence.

"In addition to this, Chairman Boyin also sent people here. Tomorrow, criminals pretending to be Equality Association to cheat will be on the headlines of the newspapers. Our own Equality News and sub-stations will also emphasize this matter, so as to prevent the government from Replicate Kip City's behavior elsewhere," added Melen Sr.

"Yes, this is the most important thing. The people have to be more vigilant, and they can no longer be succeeded by this group of people. At the same time, we can't just beware of this. I feel that the government still has more means. Compared with the swords, guns and sticks on the surface, this kind of Those who can't get on the stage are more likely to hit our vital points..." Verac finally saw it, François and the others were the best at playing dirty tricks.

"Don't worry, President Boyne is aware of this and is strengthening the defenses of the sub-stations. Compared with this, you should be more concerned about the output of our weaving factory. On the first day, Benedict should I told you, do you want to guess today again?" What Winston wanted to see most was Verak's performance after hearing the good news.

Verak breathed a sigh of relief: "This time is really troublesome for the president to worry about our affairs... Has today's output been counted? It was five times yesterday on the first day, and today the shortcomings in the mechanism have been improved. Workers We are also more familiar with the operation of the machine, so we should be able to have... six times the original output, right?"

  Considering that the higher the level, the harder it is to break through, Verak did not dare to guess too high.

   "More than that." Winston admired Verac's surprised face, and made a gesture.

   "Seven times?!"

"Um!"

   "The development of the factory is too fast..." Verak squeezed his face deliberately, causing everyone to laugh, "Looking at it this way, it really seems that we are only one step away from success."
