With the death of Wu Sibao, the situation in Shanghai surprisingly became stable.
Wu Sibao's death was an extremely heavy loss for No. 76.
Li Shiqun once quietly told his confidants that Wu Sibao's death was a broken arm for him.
But the greater impact is on morale.
Even Wu Sibao died in the hands of the military commander.
Is there anyone else that the military commander would not dare to kill?
In fact, Li Shiqun knew very well that the murderer of Wu Sibao was not the military commander, but their masters, the Japanese.
But he didn't dare to say.
Only he himself knows this secret.
Otherwise, the Japanese's next target is likely to be him.
Li Shiqun was in panic all day long.
"Director Li, Boss Ni is here."
"What? Boss Ni?"
Li Shiqun's head suddenly hurt.
This is his biggest creditor.
He didn't want to see her, but he had to see her.
"please."
Li Shiqun said bravely.
When Ni Duocheng came in, his face looked a little unhappy.
Li Shiqun sent away his people, leaving only himself and Ni Duocheng.
He smiled sarcastically: "Boss Ni, why are you free today?"
"Director Li, you are trying to trick me to death." Ni Duocheng said as soon as he sat down.
"Boss Ni, where are you talking about? Why did I trick you to death?"
Ni Duocheng sneered: "How long have you been borrowing my money? How much is the interest plus interest? Let's forget about the interest. Are you not going to pay back the principal?"
Just when Li Shiqun was about to speak, Ni Duocheng continued: "When you borrowed money from me, I gave you the lowest interest rate. You said you were in trouble, so I'll give you time. But you haven't paid it back yet. Isn’t that too unjust?”
"Boss Ni." Li Shiqun said with a smile: "It's not that I won't pay it back, it's just that there are temporary difficulties in capital turnover. Besides, didn't I help you?"
"That's right, you did me a favor and let someone go." Ni Duocheng didn't give any face at all: "But you help me, how much interest I have reduced or exempted from you, you know better than me.
I hear what you mean, are you not ready to pay me back? OK, you and I will take the lawsuit to Nanjing. I have to ask Mr. Wang what is going on. "
Li Shiqun knew this person very well.
Ni Duocheng's identity is not just as simple as a businessman.
He knows people from all walks of life.
There are people from him in the Nanjing government, and there are also many of his friends among the Japanese.
Li Shiqun even knew that he had contacts with military commanders.
But that's not surprising.
If people like Ni Duocheng want to be successful in Shanghai, he must know No. 76, and the military commander must also be familiar with him.
Upon hearing what he said, Li Shiqun hurriedly said: "Boss Ni, I'm wronged. I really didn't mean to default on the debt. I really can't make money at the moment. Please tolerate me for a while longer, tolerate me for a while longer."
"Director Li, don't put off tomorrow tomorrow." Ni Duocheng suddenly said in a different tone: "I feel like Ming Jing, you won't be able to pay for this money for a while.
Wu Sibao is dead, who else can help you get money? Hongji Shantang in Japan was burned down again. Even your activity funds will be greatly affected. Do you think you can pay back the money? Do you believe your own words? "
Li Shiqun was immediately embarrassed.
Ni Duocheng paused briefly: "Let's do this. I will give you some guidance. If you can do it, we can write off this money in one go."
Write it off?
Is there such a good thing?
Li Shiqun didn't dare to neglect: "Boss Ni, tell me, what's going on?"
Ni Duocheng only named one person:
"Shi Zhongqi!"
"Shi Zhongqi?"
Li Shiqun frowned: "Why did Boss Ni think of asking this person?"
Ni Duocheng said calmly: "Someone asked me to ask Director Li to let Shi Zhongqi go!"
Li Shiqun's face was as dark as water: "Boss Ni, who are you!"
No wonder his expression changed drastically.
Shi Zhongqi was the new head of the Yangzhou Station of the Military Command Bureau. When he was passing through Shanghai and preparing to transfer to Yangzhou to take up his post, his identity was unfortunately exposed and he was captured.
Ni Duocheng smiled slightly: "You know best what I do. I am a businessman. I only care about how I can make money. The military command, No. 76, and the intelligence headquarters have nothing to do with me.
Someone asked me to pay a big price to rescue Shi Zhongqi. The businessman has no profit and can't afford it early. If you help me do this, you will never owe me any money again. "
"Boss Ni, I can't do it." Li Shiqun's expression softened slightly: "This person is a wanted criminal. Let him go. I can't bear the responsibility for the Japanese!"
"If you have a way, there must be a way." Ni Duocheng said calmly: "Shi Zhongqi died in prison, and you randomly found a corpse to replace him without knowing it. How could the Japanese know?"
"No, no." Li Shiqun said repeatedly: "I may be able to help others, but Shi Zhongqi, I really can't do anything."
"Director Li, don't be so absolute." Ni Duocheng was not in a hurry: "Those of us are actually hanging out in the world. You are the leader of No. 76 just to make a living.
But now you are becoming more and more official. Secretary-General of the Qingxiang Committee and head of the Secret Service Headquarters. I heard that you are even being considered for the position of Chairman of Jiangsu Province.
Of course it's a good thing to have a big official, but sometimes a good thing may not necessarily be a good thing. As for Chongqing, can they not keep an eye on you? Can I try my best to get rid of you?
You have the protection of the Japanese now, so it doesn't matter for the time being, but can the Japanese protect you for the rest of your life? What if the situation changes? Are you really not prepared to leave a way out for yourself? "
Are you really not prepared to leave a way out for yourself?
This was the first time Li Shiqun heard such words.
He was silent for a long time: "Boss Ni, tell me the truth. Do you have any contact with Chongqing?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm in business." Ni Duocheng smiled and said, "I have people everywhere."
"Does what you say count?"
"It doesn't count." Ni Duocheng replied: "You may not believe what I promise you now, but if you are in trouble one day, I will definitely speak for you. What you did this time is a big deal." When the time comes for good deeds, and I have proof like this, can Chongqing not consider it?"
Li Shiqun stopped talking.
There is no way out!
Wu Sibao's death gave him a serious reminder:
It's time to leave a way out for yourself.
The Japanese may not necessarily trust themselves that much.
"Boss Ni, please go back first."
Li Shiqun suddenly said: "I just pretend I haven't heard about this. As for you, when will I go and have a look? With your reputation as Boss Ni, I will definitely take good care of Shi Zhongqi. Please tell me this sentence." Bring it to the person who commissioned you to do this!"
