Chapter 257 Attack on a rainy night (please subscribe with double monthly ticket)
Nanjing, Xufu Lane.
Tightly guarded.
A sudden knock on the door woke Qi Wu up.
“Who?” Qi Wu asked while fastening his style buckle.
“Uncle, there’s an urgent call from Shanghai.” Mao Shun’s voice came from outside the door.
Qi Wu opened the door, took the telegraph newspaper, returned to his lounge, opened the safe, and took out the code pad.
Turn on the desk lamp.
Soon, the message was translated.
Qi Wu put down his Parker pen and read the message carefully, his face changed drastically.
“Where is Virgo?” he asked.
“Sister Hua.” Mao Shun whispered.
Qi Wu rubbed his temples and understood that Dai Chunfeng must have spent the night at Chen Hua's place again.
Virgo is good at everything, but he is too greedy for women.
“Prepare the car!” Qi Wu pressed the bell, “I want to go out.”
…
About half an hour later, in front of a villa in Jiming Lane, a car suddenly braked to a stop.
An agent got out of the co-pilot, held an umbrella, and opened the door.
Qi Wu got out of the car, took the umbrella from the agent, and quickly walked up the steps.
“Secretary Qi, Virgo is waiting for you in the living room.” The guard of the villa took the umbrella and said politely.
Entering the living room, he saw Dai Chunfeng, who had changed his clothes, sitting on the sofa and waiting.
"What happened?" Dai Chunfeng yawned and asked.
Chen Hua wore pajamas, took the maid downstairs, and served tea.
Qi Wu didn’t look sideways and said politely, “Excuse me.”
Chen Hua smiled charmingly and withdrew from her amusement.
Qi Wu looked around, Dai Chunfeng waved his hand, and after everyone else had retreated, Qi Wu took out the telegram, "Virgo, there's an urgent call from 'Blue Bird'."
Dai Chunfeng took the telegram and took a quick look. He felt no sleepiness at all, and his face instantly became solemn.
“The Japanese placed a large number of orders with the Annan authorities.” Dai Chunfeng held the telegram and paced back and forth.
“Yes, according to what ‘Blue Bird’ said, the French also believe that Japan is hoarding military supplies in preparation for the war.”
"More than that." Dai Chunfeng shook his head, "The Japanese are showing their kindness to the French. The Japanese occupy the Northeast, Chahar, and Rehe, and their food reserves are sufficient for the time being. They are sending money to appease the French. French."
Dai Chunfeng stopped and said, "Rubber, what they really need is rubber."
“Everyone knows clearly.” Qi Wu nodded.
“Who is in charge of Annan?” Dai Chunfeng asked.
"Fang Zhixin." Qi Wu made preparations on the way here.
"Fang Zhixin?" Dai Chunfeng thought, "I have an impression of this person. He is a classmate of 'Blue Bird'."
“Yes, Virgo.” Qi Wu nodded.
In the second half of last year, the Nationalist Government established the Consulate General in Hanoi, Annan. The Secret Service immediately arranged for Fang Zhixin, who had just graduated from the Hangcheng training class, to work at the Consulate General in Hanoi and engage in intelligence work as the secretary of the Consulate General.
“Go to Hanoi.” Dai Chunfeng said with a serious expression, “Ask Fang Zhixin to inquire and find out the inside story of the cooperation between the Japanese and the Annan authorities.”
"clear."
“What is this Fang Zhixin doing!” Dai Chunfeng rubbed his temples and cursed, “‘Blue Bird’ has obtained such important information in Shanghai, but he still knows nothing about it.”
Qi Wu stood upright and did not answer. He knew that Fang Zhixin was really not to blame for this incident. There were insufficient manpower in Hanoi and they were in a foreign land. Fang Zhixin could not speak alone.
However, I have no choice but to be afraid of comparison.
‘Blue Bird’ did a good job, but Fang Zhixin seemed incompetent.
“It’s been such an eventful time.” Dai Chunfeng sighed.
…
“Third brother, you have suffered.” Wang Han glanced at Wang Zhi and said with relief.
“What?” Wang Han was shocked, “Did they discover something?”
“What are you afraid of?” Wang Zhi glanced at Wang Han with disdain, “I speculate that this is a deliberate trap by the patrol officer to extort money.”
"You mean, they know that you are the third young master of my Wang family, so they set up a trap to extort money?" Wang Han asked, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, these bastards."
Wang Han was furious when he thought about being extorted of five thousand French currency and fifteen large yellow croakers.
However, he continued, "I have inquired about Inspector Cheng Qianfan. He is extremely greedy for money. After this incident, I can get in touch with this person, but it is not all bad."
Wang Zhi nodded and glanced at Wang Han appreciatively, "Yes, we have to seize this line. If he is not afraid of being greedy for money, we will just give it to him."
Wang Han nodded, but cursed secretly in his heart. After all, it was our Wang family’s money that was spent, so you don’t feel bad.
Wang Zhi seemed to have seen through Wang Han's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder, "Money is an external possession. With the Empire of Japan as your backer, no amount of gold or silver can compare to it."
“That’s right, that’s right.” Wang Han smiled flatteringly.
“Just in time, you are here in Shanghai this time, and I will introduce you to His Excellency Hyōtaro Imamura.” Wang Zhi said with a proud look on his face, “His Excellency Hyōtaro Imamura is the assistant to the Deputy Consul General Iwai.”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Hyotaro Imamura is the nephew of General Jun Imamura, the deputy chief of staff of the Imperial Kwantung Army and the imperial military attaché in Manchuria."
Wang Han was overjoyed when he heard this, "The Wang family will never forget Mr. Muto's support."
…
At this moment, a shout came from outside, and the driver braked suddenly.
“What’s going on?” Wang Han cursed.
"Master." The driver pointed ahead and saw a car parked in the middle of the road. The road was narrow and blocked the way forward. Two men in raincoats were kneeling on the ground repairing the car.
The rainstorm was so heavy that it was hard to see clearly. If it weren't for another person standing next to the car, shaking it with a flashlight and shouting at the top of his lungs, he would have hit the car.
“You two go down and take a look.” Wang Han ordered.
The driver and the co-pilot's men were about to get out of the car, and Wang Zhi said, "Wait a minute."
The two of them looked at this ‘third young master of the Wang family’.
At this time, I saw someone outside shouting, "Sena Niang, the anchor has broken down and cannot be repaired."
Wang Zhi nodded and said, "Go down and take a look, be careful."
The people in the car did not notice that when they parked, the car following them stopped quietly.
Several people got out of the car and quietly approached their car under the cover of the heavy rain.
…
The driver and another subordinate got out of the car.
“What’s going on? Don’t block the road.”
“The car broke down, brother, please be patient.” The man with the flashlight shouted at the top of his lungs.
The words have not yet finished.
The car in front suddenly turned on its lights.
Several people emerged from behind the car in front.
At the same time, a burst of gunshots rang out, and the two drivers were immediately beaten into sieves and fell into the rain.
“Not good.” Wang Zhi immediately realized that this was a trap.
Wang Han was completely stunned.
Wang Zhi glanced at him, cursed "trash", and opened the car door. His purpose was to rush into the cab and drive away.
Almost at the same time, the doors on both sides of the back seat were suddenly opened.
