Du Shengyue and Dai Li were together just to discuss one thing: whether Wan Linchun should withdraw from Shenpu.
Du Shengyue said slowly: "Wan Linchun's role in Shenpu is irreplaceable. If he leaves Shenpu, our strength in Shenpu will be even weaker. I have no choice but to leave Shenpu. If he leaves again , others thought I was afraid of them."
His rule in life is to eat three bowls of noodles: human face, human face, and decency. If Wan Linchun leaves Shenpu, he will have neither human face nor dignity, and he will have no human face in front of the military commander.
Dai Li asked: "What if something happens to Wan Linchun?"
The third boss is a very cautious person, and letting Wan Linchun leave Shenpu is indeed the safest way. However, once Wan Linchun leaves Shenpu, a lot of contact work will be suspended.
For example, some important officials of the Kuomintang stationed in Shenpu either withdrew to the mountain city or stopped working, which had a huge impact.
Du Shengyue shook his head: "He lives in the concession. The Ministry of Industry Bureau and the patrol house still give me some respect. With their protection, nothing will happen to Wan Linchun."
Dai Li asked: "Should Wan Linchun's general liaison officer be handed over to someone else?"
Du Shengyue said firmly: "If it is handed over to others, what is the point of him staying in Shenpu? Brother Yunong, although I am not in Shenpu, I still have so many brothers under my command. Wan Linchun's safety , there will be no problem.”
After Xie Xuan learned that Wan Linchun had no intention of leaving Shenpu, he sighed secretly.
Wan Linchun is putting himself in danger. He seems heroic, but in fact he is foolish.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before something happened to Wan Linchun.
Wan Linchun thought that everything would be fine without leaving the house, and Annan patrols were arranged at the door, and there were armored vehicles with machine guns, but he never thought that there was an internal problem.
Between Wan Linchun and Wu Shu, chairman of the Shenpu City Party Committee of the Kuomintang, there is a traffic officer named Zhu Wenlong. This man is Wan Linchun's apprentice and is deeply trusted by Wan Linchun.
As a result, Zhu Wenlong was secretly bribed by the Secret Service. He lied that he had important information. Because his identity was exposed, he could not come directly to the door and asked to meet Wan Linchun outside.
How dare Wan Linchun go out? He declined twice, but Zhu Wenlong insisted that the information was extremely urgent. If it could not be handed over to Wan Linchun in person, Shenpu's organization would suffer heavy losses.
Wan Linchun thought there was something wrong with the city party headquarters, and after much thought, he had no choice but to take a chance.
To be cautious, he first made an appointment at four o'clock, then changed it to seven o'clock in the evening, and the location was also changed again and again.
Finally, we decided to meet at the entrance of the Kinmen Hotel.
Wan Linchun was still very thoughtful, because he knew that there were military police from the United States standing guard opposite the Kinmen Hotel. If there were any Japanese and puppet agents, he would just shout and the military police opposite would rush over for help.
By the time Xie Xuan learned the news, he was unable to react.
Even if he could react, Xie Xuan would not act.
Because the intelligence was told to him by Wu Baogui, Wu Guobao was responsible for arresting Wan Linchun.
Once the arrest fails, Wu Guogui may not suspect Xie Xuan, but others may not.
Xie Xuan had already reminded Shancheng and suggested that Wan Linchun leave Shenpu. If something happened to him, it was his own fault and he could not blame others.
Xie Xuan just called Zhou Hai in Nanjing and reported to him the Secret Service's plan to arrest Wan Linchun.
Since returning from Nanjing last time to handle the Mo Shijun case, Xie Xuan has often reported to Zhou Hai, sometimes by phone, sometimes by telegram.
Xie Xuan also learned from Li Junshi and reported to Wang Mingzhao. Whether it was work or his own life, if anything happened, he would tell Zhou Hai.
After reporting more often, Zhou Hai became accustomed to Xie Xuan's reports.
Xie Xuan said: "Dean Zhou, the Secret Service is preparing to arrest Wan Linchun, and he is expected to be arrested soon."
Zhou Hai said in surprise: "Wan Linchun? Isn't he from Du Shengyue?"
Xie Xuan said: "I heard that he was related to the Zhang Fengxiao case and the Tianma explosion case. Of course, this is just hearsay, and there is no evidence."
Zhou Hai asked: "Arresting people without proof? Didn't Liu Naou kill him? Zhang Fengxiao's murderer was Lin Yihao. What does it have to do with Wan Linchun?"
"Lin Yihao was introduced to Zhang Mansion by Wan Linchun. The explosives for the Tianma explosion should have been provided by the Zhongyi National Salvation Army. The relationship between the Zhongyi National Salvation Army and Du Shengyue was extraordinary. Mr. Wang was so angry that he wanted to Attack Du Shengyue. Du is not in Shenpu, so we have to attack Wan Linchun."
Zhou Hai pondered: "It doesn't matter if you hit him, you can arrest him, but the relationship between Wan Linchun and Du Shengyue is extraordinary, so you cannot use punishment."
Since following Wang Mingzhao to Nanjing and establishing a new government, Zhou Hai's lofty ambitions have been slowly worn away.
The performance of the Japanese army on the battlefield was not as good as he imagined.
It was originally thought that the Shancheng National Army would soon be completely defeated and all of China would fall into the hands of the Japanese army. At that time, peacefully resisting communism and saving the country will be the best response.
However, the Japanese army has shown signs of fatigue as it moves south, and the Chinese and Japanese armies have entered a stage of mutual dependence.
This was completely different from his original estimate. Moreover, the Japanese military interfered too deeply with the government. Any policy of the Nanjing government must first be approved by the Japanese advisory group before it can be promulgated. How is this different from a puppet government?
The people's enthusiasm for resisting Japan was rising, which made him even more worried. In the middle of the night, he always wondered, had he taken the wrong path?
After the Nanjing government was established, Zhou Hai was not optimistic about the future of the new government.
Shancheng also sent someone to contact him, but Zhou Hai did not refuse. For example, for the sugar plan of the military commander, he knew that the other party's purpose was impure, but he still provided great convenience.
And after Fu Jing'an was killed, Zhou Hai wrote in his diary: I received a call in the early morning that Fu Jing'an, the mayor of Shenpu, was stabbed to death by his servant who had followed him for more than ten years. People's hearts are unpredictable and chilling...
If Wan Linchun is arrested this time, what Zhou Hai will think of is not to attack Shancheng, but to take the opportunity to sell Du Shengyue a favor.
For Zhou Hai, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Shancheng, especially with a heavyweight like Du Shengyue.
Xie Xuan said: "Understood."
He called Zhou Hai to pave the way for rescuing Wan Linchun in the future.
Wan Linchun refused to listen and insisted on not leaving Shenpu. It was only a matter of time before he was arrested.
In the evening, Xie Xuan heard the news that Wan Linchun was arrested in front of the Kinmen Hotel.
At that time, Wan Linchun was wearing sunglasses and took a rickshaw to the Kinmen Hotel. He saw Zhu Wenlong looking at the door. He walked around behind Zhu Wenlong and wanted to say hello to him. Suddenly, several burly men appeared and directly pulled him over. He tied up.
Wan Linchun immediately shouted to the beautiful military police standing guard opposite. The military police opposite were also very capable and came to intervene as expected.
Kidnapping was carried out in broad daylight, which is not allowed in the concession.
However, the secret agent was well prepared and took out the arrest permit issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
The military police of the United States are also stubborn. Since they have the certificate, they don't care.
