At Chongqing Wanguo Hotel, the waiters greet everyone who comes out with a smile.
Usually, most foreign guests stay here, and these foreign adults always turn their noses up to the sky and look down on them.
Working here requires not only knowing some foreign languages, but also being extremely careful.
Usually these people are either in the room, waiting for someone to pick them up, or going out on their own. Today, more than a dozen people came out in a short time, all standing at the door.
"I registered them, and several of them are from different countries. What happened? They all arrived at the door?"
At the front desk, a little girl opened her mouth and asked her companions in surprise.
"Maybe some big shot is coming."
The companion replied uncertainly, and the little girl who asked the question before immediately shook her head: "It's impossible. If there really is such a big shot, we will definitely be notified in advance, and someone will come over to arrange it in advance. Didn't you see? Only these people go out, no one Our people."
If a foreign dignitary is really coming, they will be greeted by senior officials here, and it will be very grand, and they have been prepared in advance.
"It's not a big shot, who could it be? From the look of them, they are clearly waiting for someone."
The companion replied in confusion, and the little girl tilted her head and looked out the door: "Don't worry, you will know in a minute."
Not long after, several cars drove over, and a dozen foreigners waiting outside the door immediately gave way.
Chu Lingyun stepped out of the car, and all these people looked at him. "I am Chu Lingyun, everyone please come to the conference room."
Ni Loach and Chu Yuan were guarding Chu Lingyun, and there were several skilled agents around them.
"Hello Chu, I am Joseph from Bell France...
As soon as Chu Lingyun introduced himself, a Frenchman came forward immediately. Before he could finish his words, he was pushed aside by the tall German next to him: "Chu, our company can buy all the sulfonamides in your hands. And we signed a long-term subscription contract, but we asked for a lower price."
"Chu, I am the representative of the British company Bruker...".
These people were all talking around Chu Lingyun. Some of them spoke blunt Chinese, while others spoke their own language.
"I told you, let's talk in the conference room."
Chu Lingyun's face darkened, and Chu Yuan immediately stepped forward, forcibly pushed these people away and made way for them.
Chu Lingyun strode inside without even looking at these people. He is a seller with rare goods, so he doesn't need to look good on these people.
Seeing Chu Lingyun come in, the eyes of the two girls at the front desk almost popped out of their heads. The person so many people were waiting for turned out to be a Chinese.
They were far away, but they still heard what Chu Lingyun just said, which was in standard Chinese.
A dozen people were forced to follow and went to the conference room together.
The conference room was not small. Chu Lingyun sat down on the side, while Ni Loach arranged for someone to stop it, so that the remaining foreigners could sit across from each other.
The waiter who was already waiting outside brought tea and drinks. Chu Lingyun ordered tea, and these foreigners ordered coffee.
The hotel mainly entertains foreign guests, and coffee is a must-have.
"Our company has strong strength and sufficient funds. We can pay you in cash, but the price must be reduced by 50%."
The German who spoke before spoke first. He spoke in Chinese, which Chu Lingyun could understand.
Chu Lingyun smiled. This person couldn't understand the situation. He actually asked him to reduce the price of things that they couldn't buy outside.
"Who are you?"
"I am the general manager of the German Levan Company in China..." "Let him out."
Before he could finish his words or even announce his name, Chu Lingyun interrupted him and said for a long time that they were Germans. The relationship between Germany and China was OK, but Chu Lingyun had no intention of doing business with them.
The reason is simple, they are too close to the Japanese. Ni Loach and Chu Yuan immediately stepped forward and asked him to leave.
Because he is a foreigner, Loach is quite polite. "why
What? "
The German's eyes widened. This Chinese actually drove him away? "There's no reason, I don't like rude people like you."
Chu Lingyun replied calmly, Loach was fine, but Chu Yuan was not that easy to talk to. Seeing that he refused to leave, he immediately pulled him up forcefully.
Chu Yuan was a soldier. Although he was not taller than him, he was stronger than him. "I protest."
"Protest and go to the diplomats. I won't accompany you here."
Chu Lingyun was not used to him. A businessman's protest was nothing, not to mention that now they were begging him, not him.
The Germans were led out, and the rest gloated.
"Chu, our Brook company in the United States has reached a verbal agreement with your partner Mr. Allen. Mr. Allen agreed to sell us 30% of the sulfonamides from your pharmaceutical factory, but 30% is not enough. If you can give us 50% or more, we will not Will ask for a price reduction."
The representative of Bruker Company first said that they have reached a deal in the United States, which can be regarded as a basis for cooperation.
He is smarter and not as arrogant as the German just now.
And he knows best that the real decision-maker in the sulfonamide pharmaceutical factory is the Chinese, not the American Alan Smith.
"Chu, we can increase the price."
"Sell it to us and we will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
As soon as the people from Brooke Company opened their mouths, everyone else started talking again. Chu Lingyun shouted fiercely: "Quiet."
For a moment, the conference room was silent.
The waiters next to me were shocked. This was the first time they had seen a Chinese dare to treat a foreigner like this.
Even a German was kicked out. "Is there anyone who doesn't speak Chinese?"
Chu Lingyun asked. No one on the other side raised their hands, and no one acknowledged it.
"Very good. Since you know how to speak, let's communicate in Chinese next. If you speak your own language, you can go out and keep company with the German friend just now."
When these people talk, some still speak Chinese and some speak their own language.
Chu Lingyun couldn't understand what they were talking about and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
If they take the initiative to discuss business with him, they must follow his rules. "No problem, I can speak Chinese."
A woman spoke blunt Chinese, and Chu Lingyun said again: "Now introduce yourself one by one, starting from the far right. Don't mess around, don't jump in line, and don't interrupt others when they are talking. If there is any violation, I refuse. Do any business with him."
These people are just representatives, not real bosses. They help the boss do business in China and basically all speak Chinese.
People who can't speak can't stay here.
"I am Joseph from Bell France. Nice to meet you. Our company is located in Paris. It has a history of more than 50 years and has thousands of employees. It also has more than 50 branches in Asia, Australia, America and other places. There is no doubt about our strength, Chu, no matter how much sulfa you have, we can buy them all, and the price will definitely satisfy you."
Sitting on the far right was the Frenchman who initially stopped Chu Lingyun. He was very happy to get the chance to speak first and immediately introduced himself proudly.
At the end of the day, he even proposed that he want all the goods from Chu Lingyun and his pharmaceutical factory.
Europe is purchasing all kinds of war preparation materials. As long as these things are shipped back, they will make a lot of money, and there is no need to worry about losing money.
"Next."
Chu Lingyun didn't answer his question. Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then became a little annoyed.
The other party ignored him so much. Just as Joseph was about to protest, he suddenly noticed that Chu Yuan was staring at him.
The next second he closed his mouth.
It is true that the other party is Chinese, but this Chinese is obviously different from other Chinese. Not only did he not give them any face, he also took the initiative in the negotiation.
In fact, the initiative lies in Chu Lingyun's hands.
Due to technical limitations and other reasons, there are not many pharmaceutical manufacturers of sulfonamides. Now the only one who can provide them with large amounts of sulfonamides is ourselves.
Even if they build their own pharmaceutical factory, they won't be able to get so much stock in the short term, but war may break out at any time.
During the war, injured soldiers may turn into withered bones before the pharmaceutical factory is put into production.
"Hello, Mr. Chu, I am Laura, the deputy general manager of Ugo Company in China, which is owned by the Spanish royal family. On behalf of Ugo Company, I would like to buy two thousand boxes of sulfa from you. If it is not convenient for the American company, your company in China It’s okay if the pharmaceutical company can give us the same quantity.”
Laura is a woman in her thirties, looks energetic, speaks Chinese very well, and is quite polite.
And she gave the specific amount, unlike Joseph before who asked for it all.
It is impossible to give it to any of them. "Very well, next one."
Chu Lingyun did not reply and asked the people behind to introduce them one by one. After everyone had finished introducing, Chu Lingyun said: "I already know your demands. At present, I don't have that much goods in hand to fulfill your requirements. Wait for me I’ll let you know when I have enough goods in hand.”
Chu Lingyun stood up and went out without waiting for these people's reaction. A dozen people were about to chase after them, but a man stopped them.
"Hello, I am Mr. Chu's negotiator Yu Hanlin. I will discuss it with you in detail. Mr. Chu still has something to do. I will report to Mr. Chu after the discussion."
Yu Hanlin was the translator Liu Chengzhu originally recruited when he went to the United States.
After returning from the United States, he has been accompanying Liu Chengzhu in Shanghai. Liu Chengzhu learned many foreign languages from him.
After Shanghai was evacuated, Liu Chengzhu did not take Yu Hanlin to the United States with him, but let him stay in Chongqing as the general manager of the pharmaceutical factory.
He is considered an old man in the company, relatively familiar and trustworthy. This time, he represents Chu Lingyun to negotiate with these people.
At first, a dozen or so people were not happy. When they learned that he was the general manager of Chongqing Sulfa Pharmaceutical Factory, they immediately became familiar with him and gathered around him to inquire about the situation of the pharmaceutical factory.
It is not a secret that there are sulfonamide pharmaceutical factories in China, and many people have asked about it. However, the pharmaceutical factories in China are privately owned and do not sell to the outside world. They want to contact the boss, but there is no way.
Chu Lingyun was an agent and even a lurker. How could they possibly get in touch with him? "Does any of you know who Chu Lingyun is?"
After everyone left, the waiter in the conference room came out and asked, "It was an eye-opener for him in there today. There were so many foreigners, and he felt a lot of pressure in there. The young Chinese was stunned to suppress all these foreign devils." Go down.
In particular, a German was driven away.
Not to mention them, just those officials, how many of them dare to do this? "I don't know, tell me quickly, what happened inside just now?"
Others gathered around and asked the waiter. After a while, the waiter explained the situation inside.
In addition to what happened at the door just now, people in the hotel were very curious as to who this young man named Chu Lingyun was, who dared to treat so many foreigners like this.
This is not one country, but several.
But everyone felt extremely relieved. They were usually annoyed by a lot of foreigners, and some of them were indeed polite, but deep down they still looked down on themselves.
They can feel this.
It's a pity that no one knows who Chu Lingyun is.
The intelligence department is kept secret. They are just ordinary people and have no chance to contact them. It is even less expected that Chu Lingyun is already in a high position at a young age.
"Loach, you and Chu Yuan should go back first."
Halfway through, Chu Lingyun suddenly said that there was still time after leaving the hotel, and he planned to go home and see his parents.
We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and we haven't been able to be together during the New Year. When we come back this time, Chu Lingyun wants to go back and stay for a day.
"Are you alone?"
Chu Yuan asked first. He frowned. The team leader's safety was very important. He was the person the Japanese agents wanted to get rid of most.
"Don't worry, it's okay. I'll change cars later where there's no one in front of me. I'll just drive myself."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Just when Chu Yuan was about to say something, he was blocked by the mud.
Loach pulled. After changing the car, Chu Lingyun left alone. Chu Principle looked at Loach: "Captain Zhao, do you know where the team leader is?"
"have no idea."
Ni Loach shook his head honestly, Chu Yuan was stunned, Ni Loach didn't know, why didn't he let him follow?
"The team leader has always had his own opinion. Since he doesn't want us to follow him, it's useless for us to say anything. Once the team leader gives an order, you still have to obey the order."
Chu Yuan was silent, Loach was right, it was like this last time and he couldn't stop it. But the team leader has always been smart, and this is Chongqing, so nothing will happen to him.
In fact, when he was in Shanghai, Chu Lingyun acted alone many times. After he disguised himself as Hiroshi Ishihara, neither Loach nor Chu Yuan could follow him.
Chu Lingyun drove alone and soon arrived outside the city. When leaving the city, Chu Lingyun suddenly stopped the car and looked outside.
Not far outside the city gate, some doctors in white coats were treating people outside the city. One of them, Chu Lingyun, recognized him at a glance. He was Dr. Liang from Nanjing Jinling Hospital.
Chu Lingyun knew the true identity of Dr. Liang very well.
Secretary Liang did not wear a mask at this time. The weather was too hot and the mask was covered in sweat after being worn for a long time, so he simply did not wear it.
Secretary Liang is a surgeon and is helping a patient treat his wounds. As if he noticed someone looking at him, Secretary Liang turned his head.
Chu Lingyun's car started slowly. He didn't see the people in the car clearly.
He and Chu Lingyun have only met once. Now he can only see someone in the car, and it is impossible to recognize Chu Lingyun.
"Doctor, what's wrong with you?"
The patient being treated asked doubtfully, and Secretary Liang turned around quickly: "It's nothing. Your trauma is a bit inflamed, but fortunately it's not serious. You can go to the city and take a few tablets of sulfonamide, which can be taken orally and externally for two days."
"Do I need to use sulfa?"
The patient had a bitter look on his face. Today is the day of free clinic at Dr. Liang’s hospital. Recently, many hospitals and schools in Chongqing have organized such activities, mainly to help those poor people who have escaped the war and come to Chongqing and have no fixed place to live.
This time it was not Secretary Liang who took the lead, but the Guo party government organization.
There are so many people who don't have enough food and clothing. If they don't care, they can easily cause riots. Even for their own safety, they have to make some measures.
"It must be used. If you don't use it, your life will be in danger."
Secretary Liang sighed. He understood what the other party meant. Although sulfonamides are not as hard to find as in the past, the price is still very high and ordinary people cannot afford it. Even if it is a cheap tablet, they still have no money to buy it.
"Forget it, just leave it to fate. Thank you, Dr. Liang."
The patient looked lonely. If he had money to buy medicine, he wouldn't be in the situation he is today. This is just a minor injury. He didn't have money to treat it and it eventually became inflamed.
"I have a few pills here. You take them first and don't tell anyone else."
Secretary Liang looked at him, secretly took out a medicine bag and stuffed it into his hand.
In the end, Secretary Liang didn't want to see his condition worsen. It would be okay if he could survive it, but if he couldn't survive it, and he didn't use sulfa, he would definitely die.
This patient was as skinny as a stick, obviously malnourished, and had little chance of surviving.
He couldn't ignore death and secretly gave him a few pills.
Secretary Liang has sulfonamides. He is not short of sulfonamides, but these drugs are also bought with money. He cannot give all the sulfonamides to others.
If he does that, it will be useless no matter how much money he has, and besides, he won't be able to help many people.
If you meet someone, help him if you can. In fact, he gave away a lot during this period.
The gifts even affected his life. It was a pity that he couldn't see the people waiting to die because of illness. He would rather eat less and suffer a little more, but he would try his best to help them.
It's a pity that what he can help is limited. Even if he is really rich, he can't help others in a big way, otherwise he will be easily exposed.
Chu Lingyun drove all the way to his father's school.
The sound of Lang Lang's reading came from inside, and Chu Lingyun smiled.
Everything is safe here, Japanese bombing
It did not affect this area. After all, it was a remote place and there were no important military locations. The Japanese did not need to waste artillery shells in such a place.
My father is not in the office and is in class.
Chu Lingyun did not disturb him and walked around the school a few times. "Is there anything unusual lately?"
"Boss, no."
Chu Lingyun called the captain responsible for protecting this place. These people were found by Wang Sheng in Nanjing. They all had innocent identities and good families.
They have families and are easier to control. "Where's my mother's side?" Chu Lingyun asked again.
"Everything is normal. Teacher Chu and the others are kind people. The blind daters respect them very much. Sometimes when the villagers have problems that cannot be solved, they will come and ask them for advice."
The captain's words made Chu Lingyun smile. Scholars are still very respected in this era, especially teachers.
"Miss went to the city to study. I arranged for two brothers to protect her there. This is a girls' school. There are no boys and there is nothing to worry about."
The captain took the initiative and said that what he didn't know was that the bodyguard he sent was discovered by Chu Ya on the first day.
Chu Ya did not expose them and understood that her brother was doing it for her own good. Moreover, they did not enter the school and only stayed outside, so they did not affect her life.
It was a girls' school, and the captain sent a man there, so it was impossible to enter.
The number of female bodyguards is limited, and they are all currently deployed at the girls' school here to protect the safety there.
"Go ahead."
Chu Lingyun nodded lightly, her sister was not at home, only her parents were here now. In the blink of an eye, my sister has grown into a big girl, time flies so fast.
It has been more than three years since he came to this world. In fact, Chu Lingyun is only twenty-six years old now, which is very young.
"Ling Yun, when did you come back?"
Chu Yuanchen came out after class and saw his son waiting outside at the first sight, and asked in surprise.
"I just came back. Come and see you and Mom."
"Just come back. I have one more class. I'll take you to your mother after I finish it." Chu Yuanchen said happily. His son was working outside and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.
Moreover, their son's job was so dangerous, and the couple was very worried. They usually worried about their son the most.
It's a pity that he has classes and won't be able to spend time with his son now.
To Chu Yuanchen, no one is as important as his students. This is what Chu Lingyun didn't understand about them the most before.
"It's okay, you go and do your work first."
Chu Lingyun hurriedly replied. Chu Yuanchen and Chu Lingyun exchanged a few words, then went to prepare and continue the class for a while.
The school is small but very neat.
There are currently two hundred and three students. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. As long as the scale is not expanded, this place will not be noticed.
Long before, Chu Lingyun had ordered people to dig an air-raid shelter here. If an enemy plane really came over, they could enter the air-raid shelter to take shelter at school.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. With the air-raid shelter, Chu Lingyun feels more at ease.
In the evening, the family of three had a happy meal. He Wanrong was a little regretful that her daughter did not have a day off today, so it was not considered a reunion dinner.
Early the next morning, Chu Lingyun drove back to the city.
He can't stay here for too long. The time he came back this time is not long. There are still many things in the city that need to be dealt with by him.
"Ling Yun, you're back."
Not long after arriving in the office, Xu Yi walked in from the outside. He held a tea cup and said with a smile. He did not regard himself as an outsider at all. He sat on the sofa without Chu Lingyun's greeting.
"Director Xu, you have a really good nose. You knew it right after I came back."
Chu Lingyun made a joke. He knew that Xu Yi must be waiting for him, and he ran over immediately after he came back.
"Haha, of course, we do intelligence work, how can we do it if our noses don't work?"
Xu Yi was not angry, but laughed. After speaking, he asked: "Ling Yun, many spies in Chongqing have been caught by us and the Central Government. I have received news that the special high school has exposed the situation in Chongqing."
The reporting work was handed over to Wuhan, and the spies sent here in the future will be handled by Wuhan Special High School. Is it possible to conduct a large-scale screening recently, and only screen those who have recently arrived in Chongqing? "
Xu Yi came here to learn from the experience. As early as in Wuhan, Chu Lingyun had used a large-scale screening model.
Although it is very tiring, I have to admit that the effect is very good.
"Director Xu, I understand what you mean, but we can't use the past method." Chu Lingyun replied. Xu Yi was stunned and immediately looked at him.
"The Japanese are very smart. After they have suffered a loss, they will learn lessons and make changes. Even those who have been here recently will find ways to cover up to avoid being detected by us."
"It's not difficult to do this. You just need to bribe good people at the police station in advance and change their information to a year ago or even longer. Then during this time, they went out for other reasons and came back recently. If If this is the case, you will not be able to gain anything by relying on registration information to investigate people who have recently arrived in Chongqing."
"This is my guess, but one thing is that no matter how they cover it up, what is false is false and cannot be true. As long as you have no past experience of living in Chongqing, no matter how you cover it up, there will definitely be problems."
Chu Lingyun said slowly, Xu Yi's eyes lit up, he understood.
Since the Japanese know that they will conduct large-scale screening over time, they will definitely make disguises to prevent the newly sent agents from being detected.
Whether they forge and modify registration information, or use other methods, their lack of real life experience in the past is the biggest flaw.
"Ling Yun, thank you."
Xu Yi stood up in a hurry, but Chu Lingyun stopped him: "Director Xu, I am too impatient to eat hot tofu. Please wait a moment. Don't be in a hurry. The investigation can proceed, but the net should be closed later. Give them some time and release more fish." Come in."
"You, you ghost, okay, I know what to do."
Xu Yi smiled and pointed at Chu Lingyun. He thought they had sent few people recently. Wait a minute and ask them to send more people over so that they can catch more spies.
It was a good idea, and Xu Yi decided to accept it.
If it had been anyone else, he might have suspected that the other party was afraid that he would make a contribution and deliberately delayed it, but with Chu Lingyun, he had no worries.
The idea was given to him by Chu Lingyun. Moreover, Chu Lingyun never takes credit for this kind of thing. This is his best reputation.
After sending Xu Yi away, Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head.
It won't take long for Xu Yi to find the new spy.
As for the method, he believed that Xu Yi had already thought of it. After all, he was the director of the intelligence department, not a mediocre person.
The method is very simple, just reverse investigation.
Sending informants to find all the people who have recently entered the city is a tedious task, but the most difficult part of the screening is verification, not preliminary investigation.
The Intelligence Service has many informants and has ways to develop informants, so they can do it.
The next step will be much easier. If you check in reverse, those whose registration information is not that of those who have just arrived, as long as they have no past life experience, or have different experiences, and are relatively simple, all of them are considered serious suspects.
The number of such people is certainly not too large and is easier to verify.
In order to disguise enough information, the Japanese spies may ask their own people to prove each other, or they may pay some people to prove it.
There are not many such certifiers, so they live a single life. If he had lived here very early, he would not have come into contact with only a few people.
This is not the future. A mobile phone can stay at home for a long time. In urban life, neighbors across the door may not know each other for several years.
Neighbors were relatively close at this time.
What's more, people need to eat. When you eat, you have to buy vegetables and rice. Even if you don't cook it yourself, you still have to go to a restaurant. You can't eat air every day.
These details make it difficult for them to pretend that there are no flaws. If there are flaws, they can be found.
Xu Yi did think of this, so he thanked Chu Lingyun. "Ziqi, you are right to find Ling Yun. We have a new direction."
Xu Yi called
Xie Ziqi said happily. Xie Ziqi was slightly startled and asked excitedly: "Director, what is the direction?"
With the help of his last great achievement, Xie Ziqi was successfully promoted to colonel.
Now he wants more credit. Although he has little hope of taking another step forward, if he has enough credit, he will at least have a chance to move up the level.
"It's very simple..."
Xu Yi explained the scriptures in detail. The more Xie Ziqi listened, his eyes became brighter and he couldn't help but nod.
"Chu Lingyun is still smart. Yes, spies are cunning. They are likely to do this. If not, we can go back and investigate these new people again, and we can still find them."
"Yes, that's what I thought. I called all the section chiefs and deputy section chiefs to a meeting and assigned tasks immediately."
Xu Yi laughed. He didn't catch the opportunity yesterday and the day before yesterday. Chu Lingyun left the unit after coming back. Today, he deliberately let people stare at him. Chu Lingyun came to the door as soon as he came back.
Sure enough, we came to the right place. No one in the entire military command could match Chu Lingyun's brains.
These Japanese spies were unlucky to have enemies like Chu Lingyun. "Ling Yun."
When Xu Yi was having a meeting, He Nian also came to Chu Lingyun's office.
Today, Chu Lingyun is no longer the team leader he hired back then. If anything happens, just call him in his office. Although Chu Lingyun is his deputy, he basically doesn't care about the operations department, and his main focus is on the war situation team in Shanghai.
He couldn't tell Chu Lingyun to come and leave immediately. "Director."
Not long after Chu Lingyun sat down, he immediately stood up and welcomed the New Year in.
"You haven't been in Chongqing for long. I just wanted to ask you if there is any good way to continue to investigate Japanese spies."
Sure enough, the purpose of New Year's greetings was the same as Xu Yi's.
He had already told Xu Yi the method, but facing the New Year greetings, he couldn't hide it, so he simply said it again.
"What a great idea. It has to be you. I'll make arrangements right away."
After hearing what Chu Lingyun said, He Nian's eyes lit up. If he followed Chu Lingyun's method, he believed that he would be able to catch the Japanese spy again.
"Director, don't worry, Director Xu came just now, I have already told him."
Chu Lingyun immediately stopped him. He Nian was startled, and then said angrily: "Old Xu is here to poach me again. Just wait, I will go to him to settle the score. I won't knock out his teeth."
Such a good idea was beaten to the punch by Xu Yi. He Nian couldn't bear it, so he got up and went to settle the score with Xu Yi.
"Director, I think it is better to handle the case jointly with the Intelligence Division this time to save energy and ensure that these spies will not escape the network."
Chu Lingyun grabbed him. His New Year nickname was He Laohu. He really dared to beat Xu Yi.
If the two chiefs fight and Boss Dai is so angry that he vomits blood, both of them will be in trouble.
"For your sake, let him go this time. Let's go there together."
He Nian replied immediately. Chu Lingyun was startled and realized that he had been fooled by He Nian. He Nian didn't really want to beat Xu Yi, but deliberately said this to set him up.
As long as he goes along, Xu Yi cannot refuse the request to jointly handle the case.
