Chapter 354 North Korea changes situation

Bai Junwan, who was originally going to North Korea to handle the Chamber of Commerce affairs, came back, but she was injured. Not only did she suffer herself, but the fleet that went to North Korea with her was also in pieces. At a glance, you can tell that it was only after a arduous battle. There was also a missing boat in the fleet, killing more than a dozen people, and hundreds of injured people, including two old managers in the Chamber of Commerce who died on the road.

"What's going on?" Zhou Chong asked with a serious face. Bai Junwan was also injured, but the injury was not serious. She was cut on her arm. She is now bandaged and hung around her neck. Her face is still a bit pale and looks very weak. It makes people want to hold it in their arms and comfort her at first sight.

"The boss, there was a big change in North Korea. Jin Wenxian didn't know what crazy. When our ship arrived at Zhongqing Port, it was attacked by the Chungqing Chamber of Commerce. Hundreds of North Korean ships surrounded us, and it seemed that we wanted to capture us alive. Fortunately, our merchant ship also carried weapons. After a hard battle, the fleet finally escaped. However, one of the ships was too severely damaged, and in the end I had to order the ship to abandon it." Bai Junwan stood up and said with shame. This time the fleet was led by her. Now that such a big thing happened, she naturally blamed herself.

"Does Jin Wenxian dare to attack our fleet?" Zhou Chong's face was incredible. Now the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce is the agent of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in North Korea, and all the goods have to be relied on the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that Zhou Chong let him live and die if he dies. Unless Jin Wenxian no longer wants to make money, he will not have the courage to offend the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, let alone Zhou Chong's understanding of Jin Wenxian. He could not do such a stupid thing.

"By the way. Have you seen Jin Wenxian when you were attacked?" Zhou Chong asked with a serious look on his face. He felt that something must have been wrong. The biggest possibility was that something was inside the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce.

"No, this time I took people there to transport goods, and the other hand, to solve some problems with the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce. So the people brought were all old people who used to run North Korea's trade routes and were very familiar with the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce. According to them, in the ships of our Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce that were besieging us, we did not see several big leaders of the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce before, so I guess that the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce may have had an accident!" Bai Junwan was also thinking the same as Zhou Chong's thoughts, and she experienced this incident personally, so her guess was still very credible.

Zhou Chong nodded when he heard this, thought for a while and then asked, "By the way, I rarely ask about the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce during this period. What happened to the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce before? Do you actually need to go there in person?"

Hearing Zhou Chong's question, Bai Junwan said with a serious expression: "This matter was not a big deal before. It was just a few months ago, a fire suddenly broke out in Zhongqing Port. Half of the entire port was burned, and even some of our goods were burned down. At the same time, a guard guarding the goods was burned to death. It was precisely because people died that I went to the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce to ask them for compensation. But now it seems that the fire is too strange. And according to our people's reports, there seemed to be some riots in Zhongqing Port on the day of the fire, but it quickly subsided, so I didn't care before. It was all my fault. If I were more cautious at the beginning, maybe something later wouldn't have happened."

Bai Junwan said at the end, the guilt on her face became even heavier, but Zhou Chong waved her hand and said, "Junwan, you don't have to blame yourself. This happened too suddenly. No one expected that a smart person as smart as Jin Wenxian would be slutted. And as you said, a few months ago, the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce had an accident. However, in the next few months, our Chamber of Commerce and other Chamber of Commerce continued to transport goods to North Korea, and there was no change. Why did your fleet immediately get attacked as soon as it arrived in North Korea? There must be something we don't know about here!"

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Bai Junwan also frowned. It was indeed as Zhou Chong said. If something happened to the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce a few months ago, why did the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce still trade with them in accordance with the previous rules for several months? She even clearly remembered that when her fleet was attacked, there were other ships of Ming merchants in the port, and they were not attacked. This seemed too strange.

Zhou Chong has already learned the whole story, and now it is impossible to understand the truth by just guessing it by himself. In addition, Bai Junwan has worked very hard all the way, and she was injured again, and she has not even eaten dinner yet, so Zhou Chong no longer discusses this issue, but asks people to prepare the meal and ask Bai Junwan to have a meal first, and then go and see Qingqing after the meal. After all, they must have missed each other very much for more than a month after they parted.

Looking at the foods that Zhou Chong had to prepare in front of him, some of which were her favorite dishes, which made Bai Junwan feel warm. The eyes of Zhou Chong were also extremely grateful. In this world, besides Meng Wan and Qingqing, only Zhou Chong would remember the dishes she liked to eat. When she thought of this, Bai Junwan couldn't help feeling a little strange. However, when she thought of her sister Meng Wan, she immediately asked her to tighten her mind and lower her head to eat silently.

Bai Junwan was injured in her right hand, so she could only use her left hand to hold the vegetables. As a result, she dropped the vegetables on the table several times, which made Bai Junwan feel very shy. After all, Zhou Chong sat in front of her and looked at her with bright eyes. However, when Zhou Chong saw Bai Junwan's embarrassment, he not only did not make fun of her, but instead picked up the chopsticks to help Bai Junwan carry the vegetables into her bowl. This kind of intimate behavior made Bai Junwan's face hot. If she had been before, she would have run away with shame. However, after the training of the Chamber of Commerce, she was much more courageous, so she lowered her head and ate the vegetables in her bowl.

After finally finishing the meal, Bai Junwan immediately stood up and prepared to see Qingqing before resting, but Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Qingqing slept with Mengwan today. It's already midnight now. Don't go back to your yard. I'll let someone prepare a bath water in Mengwan's room. After taking a shower, you'll sleep with Mengwan and the others!"

"Well, you should rest early, and we will convene the people from the chamber of commerce tomorrow to discuss what to do with North Korea!" Bai Junwan also stood up and nodded, and then she no longer dared to stay with Zhou Chong. She hurried to the backyard to go to Mengwan to rest.

Seeing Bai Junwan leaving the hall as if she ran away, Zhou Chong bent his lips and smiled. He just now deliberately brought food to Bai Junwan, but he didn't expect that it would be really good to tease the good women. But then he thought about the North Korean incident, which made him frown again. Based on what he knows now, it can be inferred that something must have happened to Jin Wenxian. But who is so brave enough to kill Jin Wenxian. After all, the North Korean king Li Long has just made such a great contribution. Now that Jin Wenxian has something to happen, Li Long will definitely pursue it!

Zhou Chong sat in the hall for a while and thought about it, but still had no clue. Finally, he simply shook his head. He didn't think about how this happened for the time being. Instead, he began to consider what changes the changes the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce would bring to the Chamber of Commerce and the Sihai Governor's Office? After all, North Korea is not only an important transaction target for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but also has a great relationship with the Sihai Governor's Office. He now occupies part of the land in Jeju Prefecture, North Korea and is inevitably involved in dealing with the North Koreans.

Zhou Chong hypothesized several possible changes that could have occurred in the Chung-Ching Chamber of Commerce. First, Kin Wenxian might have offended the North Korean king Li Long. Although he made great contributions to quelling the North Korean coup, Li Long was originally a madman with a violent temperament. God knows why he would kill people, so it is not surprising that Kin Wenxian was killed by Li Long.

If Li Long really sent someone to kill Jin Wenxian, then this matter would be a little troublesome. After all, Li Long was a lunatic. In addition, Zhou Chong had previously occupied Seongsanpu on Jeju Island, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the North Koreans. If the attack on the fleet was instructed by Li Long, Zhou Chong would have to be cautious and even prepare for war.

As for whether Li Long has the courage to break up with him directly, Zhou Chong is not sure. After all, Li Long is a lunatic and the thoughts in his mind are not something that ordinary people can guess at.

Another possibility is that Jin Wenxian was killed by someone who was dissatisfied with him, and Li Long was not aware of this. If this was the case, the matter would be simple. At that time, he would just ask Li Long for compensation. As for the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce, there would naturally be Li Long's people to deal with it, so Zhou Chong didn't have to worry about it at all.

However, Zhou Chong felt that the second possibility was not reliable, because according to his and Bai Junwan's previous speculation, Jin Wenxian was probably killed a few months ago. As a result, several months have passed, how could Li Long not notice it at all? This is obviously not very reasonable, so now it seems that the first assumption is very likely.

Thinking that Li Long, a lunatic, was likely to use the Chungqing Chamber of Commerce to retaliate against his invasion of Jeju Island, Zhou Chong couldn't help but feel a headache. Without the Chungqing Chamber of Commerce as an agent, it would be difficult for him to trade with North Korea in the future, and it would even be completely cut off for North Korea's business path. In this way, the Chamber of Commerce would lose a considerable portion of its income, which was really unbearable for Zhou Chong.

After Zhou Chong learned that North Korea had changed, he kept guessing about the changes in North Korea and the response he could make in the second half of the night. However, as the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable. Zhou Chong may never imagine that what happened in North Korea is far beyond his imagination. (To be continued...)
