The entire Jiang City was in an uproar.
On the streets and alleys, people were talking about Boss Zhu of Phoenix Auspicious. He would be rewarded with 3000 taels of gold for his contribution to the treasure. Moreover, he was vigorously promoting it as a model of friendship between China and Japan.
However, the hardcore Chinese people thought that Boss Zhu of Phoenix Auspicious was a traitor of the new era. He openly sold the national treasures left behind by his ancestors. Was he still considered a Chinese?
In Jiang City, Commander Wu Tiancheng was gritting his teeth. He swore that he would get rid of Mr. Zhu at the award ceremony, no matter what the price was. He wanted the entire Jiang City to understand that as long as the commander was around, the traitor would not be allowed to go unpunished for a day.
"Station Chief, I think that the Japanese must have another purpose for promoting it in such a high-profile manner. Moreover, according to our understanding, Boss Zhu has not done anything bad. Moreover, it is rumored that he has raised a certain amount of money for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.”Zhongtong agent Zhang Sihai said.
"Everyone, I don't care what the reason is. In short, selling the treasures left behind by our ancestors to the Japanese is a traitor's behavior. Moreover, the Japanese are publicizing this matter in such a high-profile manner. Don't you think that there is a high possibility that he has already joined the Japanese?”said Wu Tiancheng, the commander of the Jiangcheng Army.
"Station Chief, I think we should report this matter to Boss Dai from Chongqing. I believe that with Boss Dai's eyes and ears in Jiang City, he must have known about this matter long ago.”Zhongtong agent Zhang Sihai said.
"That's good too. I think this battle will be extremely cruel. If we report it in advance, we will have an explanation if anything happens.”Wu Tiancheng, the station chief of Zhongtong Jiangcheng Station, said," However, reporting is one thing, but our preparations will proceed according to the original plan.”
Wu Xiubo was lying in bed. He was a patient now. Other than lying in bed, he could do nothing.
He was holding a copy of the Jiangcheng Daily in his hand. It was published that the Jiangcheng City Defense Command would hold an award ceremony at the City God Temple in the north of the city at 12 noon today.
Just as he was reading the newspaper, he glanced out of the window and saw a young woman in a Japanese kimono walking quickly toward Mr. Lu's ward under the lead of the Deputy Director of the Special Higher Police, Chihiro Ishino, and Yoshio Toyoda.
Wu Xiubo couldn't help but wonder what kind of person lived in this ward. could actually
Interesting, really interesting.
What kind of person was living in this ward? How could he cripple the Japanese so badly?
He was trying his best to search for any evidence he could think of.
The image of a filthy criminal appeared in his mind.
So it was him!
He didn't know his name either. He had only seen him in the interrogation room.
This guy had once suffered a thousand cuts from Third Brother but did not confess. This person was really tough.
He didn't believe that the Japanese would be able to take down a tough bone that even Third Brother couldn't take down.
Chu Yunfei was the shopkeeper of the Guiyun Village Pharmacy in Jiang City. He was currently in the Guiyun Village Pharmacy. Although this place had just opened and the business was not booming, it was still okay.
Chu Yunfei was holding a newspaper in his hand, reading it slowly.
"Chief Wan, look, it's true. The Japanese always keep their promises. Look, they said they would give the first place 3000 gold taels, so they really want to reward them. Look, it's even in the newspaper. This Mr. Zhu of the Auspicious Phoenix is really lucky. He's going to be rich this time. Just think about it. Just one Oriental Night-Luminescent Pearl is worth 12 million yuan. In addition to the reward of 3000 taels of gold, my God, isn't he going to be rich?”Although Chu Yunfei was the big boss of the Returning Clouds Village and he was also born into a rich family, this 12 million yuan and 3000 gold taels was still a huge amount of assets.
"What's wrong? Shopkeeper Chu, are you still upset that you didn't get the Oriental Night-Luminescent Pearl? Moreover, on the other hand, no matter how rich you are, you are from China. Now that the Japanese are in power here, why would you fight with the Japanese if you have money?”Wan Baohe, the chief steward of the Cloud Returning Manor, said.
"Come here for a moment." Chu Yunfei waved at Wan Baohe, gesturing for him to come closer.
"The Japanese are making such a big fuss. I reckon that something must have happened to Boss Zhu of Fengxiang. Otherwise, why would the Japanese give him 3000 gold taels? Moreover, I reckon that the Japanese will never give him a single cent of his 12 million yuan. Why didn't he think about why the Japanese invaded China?”Chu Yunfei said in a low voice.
"Yeah, I also guessed this. Either Boss Zhu has a problem, or the Japanese have other motives. Think about it, the Japanese have boasted, so how can they not give it? However, it's not the Japanese's personality to give it away. Therefore, I personally think that the reason why they are so open is because they want to use external forces to assassinate Boss Zhu. If the person who presented the treasure is dead, then there's no need to give the money and yellow money.”Wan Bao and the Head Chief whispered.
"That makes sense. However, have you thought about it? In our booklet, Boss Zhu is an underground party. His responsibility is to raise funds. Once something happens to him, I estimate that more of our comrades will fall into a disadvantageous situation.”Chu Yunfei said.
" But the problem is that there's already a problem with the underground work in Jiang City, and we have a special mission. For our own safety, we shouldn't interfere in their affairs. Otherwise, things might get worse. Moreover, according to our information, when Secretary Xiao was in trouble, the No. 2 figure of the Jiang City Underground, Lu Haotian, was also at the scene. Now, he should have been detained at the No. 76 Agent Headquarters. According to the news from the inside, even if Lu Haotian was tortured, he did not speak. Thus, the losses suffered by the underground party in Jiang City should be limited.”Wan Baohe said.
"Lynx, lynx, this damn lynx, where is he?”Chu Yunfei said impatiently.
"I don't know. We don't know who he is because he was in direct contact with Xiao Shu. Now that Secretary Xiao is dead, no one else has seen his true face.”Wan Baohe said.
" That's right. During the ten-year civil war, the most famous underground worker in Rivertown was Seaman. His legendary story in Rivertown was enough to write a book or film a movie. After Seaman, Lynx became an omnipotent underground worker. We lost Seaman, but we can't lose Lynx!”Chu Yunfei said.
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper, we will definitely find him. Also, I don't recommend that we take any action during the reward meeting of Shing Wong North. You have to know that the commander has many more tricks up his sleeve than we do when dealing with traitors. I believe that they won't let this matter rest.”Wan Baohe said.
"Old Wan, Boss Zhu is an underground worker. I believe that he is definitely not a traitor! We can't let the commander deal with him. Even if there's no one to deal with him, we'll deal with him!”Chu Yunfei said excitedly.
"Chu Yunfei, listen up. As the Deputy Bureau Chief, I order you to keep quiet. We should stop everything with silence and deal with all changes without changing.”Wan Baohe said calmly.
"Are we going to watch the underground work in Jiang City be destroyed? Would they watch as the Oriental Night-Luminescent Pearl was transported to Japan to celebrate the emperor's birthday?”Chu Yunfei was excited.
"Chu Yunfei, listen up. You didn't come to Jiang City for the Oriental Night-Luminescent Pearl, nor to save the underground gang. You came to contact Lynx, understand?”Wan Baohe said calmly," You should know that the value of a mountain cat is likely to exceed the results of the entire underground work in Jiang City. " Moreover, Lynx is in Jiang City. His understanding of the underground gangs in Jiang City is probably no less than ours. I believe that he won't ignore it.”Wan Baohe said calmly.
"But I can't watch my comrades sacrifice themselves while I can't do anything!”Chu Yunfei's eyes were wet.
"Yunfei, we have to be strong. Moreover, we don't know what the situation is like in Jiang City's underground work. They don't have a radio station now, so no one can contact their superiors. Moreover, we can't guarantee that every comrade here is safe, understand?”Wan Baohe said.
