After explaining this matter, Li Zhiqun remembered Luo Xingchao's purpose and asked, "Xingchao, is there anything you have to do?"

Luo Xingchao asked: "I heard that there are many people from the financial industry who are coming to bail the bank staff with a name, but the director did not see them?"

When Li Zhiqun heard that Luo Xingchao was coming for this matter, he joked: "Why, someone has taken the way to you? How many benefits have you taken?"

It is obvious that most of the words are ridiculous. People on No. 76 first arrest and extortion, and then collect money to catch people. This is also an important source of wealth for these senior cadres. Everyone knows it well, and Li Zhiqun has never blamed his subordinates for such things.

But the situation this time is of course different. Li Zhiqun wants to use these bank employees as hostages and force Chongqing to submit. The goal is very big and he will not let people go for a few dollars.

Luo Xingchao shook his head and smiled, "It's better to ask Captain Wu and Director, I think so. Our Litai Bank has just been established and everything is still in its infancy. We will definitely deal with them in the future. Therefore, these people in the financial industry still have to give some face. It seems too stiff to turn it off. Even if you don't agree to their request, you always want it when you meet."

Luo Xingchao's words made Li Zhiqun react immediately. He was now a member of the financial industry, and his identity could not be changed for the time being, and it was a bit inappropriate to consider things.

In the future, the exchange and exchange between your own banks and other banks will definitely be inevitable. You can’t go to business with guns every time! I have done a little bit.

He couldn't help but pat his forehead and smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "If you don't say it, you almost forgot. I, Mr. Li, are half a banker, and this banking guild also has one of mine. Haha, okay, just meet me!"

Luo Xingchao felt a little relieved when he saw that his goal was achieved. He could only click on Li Zhiqun. As for whether these bankers could persuade Li Zhiqun to release others, it was their own business, and that was all they could help.

At this time, Li Zhiqun ordered Wu Shicai again: "Okay, there is nothing you have to do here, you can't relax now, you must continue to step up your actions against them. I'm just annoying when I look at the Central Bank's office on Xinzha Road. You can do it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Wu Shicai stood attentively to take the order, turned around and nodded to Luo Xingchao, and retreated.

When Li Zhiqun waited for Wu Shicai to leave, he asked Luo Xingchao: "Xingchao, let me ask, have you been visiting President Fujiwara during this period?"

Luo Xingchao was stunned and said in confusion: "No, you know, I am still from the Kyozo agency. I am too close to President Fujiwara, for fear of some hindrance!"

"You, alas! I'm worried too much!" Li Zhiqun couldn't help but feel a little upset. He pointed Luo Xingchao with his hand, "Xingchao, you are so smart in normal times, why can't you figure out this? The Kageo agency is far away in Nanjing, so how can General Yingzo and Colonel Qingqing take care of us in everything? Leaving you and I are in Shanghai, it's still up to the President Fujiwara's expression. He can value you. This is a rare opportunity. You, sometimes you are too cautious and have considered too much!"

Li Zhiqun was very scared by the last incident. Fujiwara Club dispatched military police to kill people and rob goods. In the end, General Kyozo had to come to Shanghai to explain to Fujiwara Tomohito, the smuggling business was forced to withdraw from Shanghai and move to Hangzhou. Only then was the end of the matter. After this, he certainly had a deep understanding of Fujiwara Tomohito's strength and was still scared.

He knew very well that in Shanghai, Fujiwara Tomohito had the final say, even Kagesa Yuki behind him could not help, so he tried his best to please Fujiwara Tomohito, but because he had no way, he wanted to flatter Luo Xingchao, but Luo Xingchao was cautious and letting go of this opportunity was really regretful.

When Luo Xingchao heard this, he had no choice but to nod and said, "What the director said is that I am really worried. I will go to see Mr. Fujiwara for a while."

"That's right. Also, I heard that President Fujiwara likes Chinese antique calligraphy and paintings the most. I have prepared a few treasures for you, all of which are good things I specially got from Nanjing. You can bring them with you when you go and say hello to President Fujiwara!"

Seeing that Li Zhiqun was eager to cling to his side, he had already done his homework in advance. Luo Xingchao had no choice but to nod. Although he did not allow him to meet frequently, he came to the door with a gift and could not see anything. He deliberately avoided and alienated, which made others look suspicious.

Li Zhiqun continued to instruct: "We have made too many enemies now, and our opponents are not just Zhou Fushan's faction. The most important thing is Wen Hao. He has the confidence to compete with me and covet my position after he has climbed to President Fujiwara. Even if we can't curry favor with President Fujiwara, at least don't let him target us. You should be more careful about this matter and don't be careless!"

That night, in the study of Yue Mansion, thousands of miles away, Yue Sheng and his two confidants, Wan Mulin and Si Guangyuan, sat opposite each other.

Yue Sheng had just received an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Bureau, asking him to send someone to Shanghai as soon as possible to try to contact Li Zhiqun, make peace from it, and promote reconciliation.

This made Yue Sheng feel a little embarrassed. Although he still has some old relationships in Shanghai, he has no intersection with the Japanese and Nanjing government, especially Li Zhiqun from the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters. Not only did the two sides not have friendship, but they even had deep hatred.

Last time Wan Mulin returned to Shanghai, she was arrested by Li Zhiqun. She found a lot of relationships and spent money, but Li Zhiqun did not release anyone. In the end, she handed Wan Mulin over to the Yingzuo agency, almost throwing her life in it. When she returned to Hong Kong, Wan Mulin had almost half her life left. After recuperation for a long time, she recovered. For this reason, Yue Sheng held a deep grudge against Li Zhiqun.

Fortunately, the bureau chief explained it very clearly in the telegram and even designated the specific candidates, so he quickly called both of his confidants over. At this time, he asked Si Guangyuan first: "In the past few months, there has been a dangerous situation in Shanghai. Do you know this?"

Since Wan Mulin was arrested in Shanghai, in order to prevent it, Yue Sheng no longer arranged for Wan Mulin to return to Shanghai to manage his own industry, and asked Si Guangyuan to deal with it. In the past few months, Si Guangyuan has also returned to Shanghai twice, so Yue Sheng had to ask clearly about the development of the matter.

Si Guangyuan nodded after hearing this and said, "It's really very chaotic. It's not that the Bank of China has established. The Nanjing government is eager to implement the matter of depositing money. Chongqing refuses to make concessions. As a result, on the 76th, he has suffered bloody battles with Chongqing agents, and countless casualties. Now everyone in the financial industry is in danger and even dares to leave their homes."

Then, he gave a detailed description of some of the situations he learned to Yue Sheng.

Yue Sheng sighed and said helplessly: "Oh, now the matter is over here. Li Zhiqun arrested 200 Central Bank employees as hostages, forcing Chongqing to make concessions. The Military Control Commission asked us to come forward and promote reconciliation between the two sides, but I didn't even dare to go back in Shanghai, so how could I make this happen?"

Yue Sheng knew that his identity was special and he would never dare to take risks in person. He knew very well that as soon as his feet stepped onto the land of Shanghai, the Japanese would definitely seize him and force themselves to use it for them, and never think about getting out of here again.

"However, this time the Military Control Commission gave me careful explanation and asked you two to rush to Shanghai to deal with this matter immediately."

Speaking of this, he looked at Wan Mulin: "Minlin, I have to work hard again this time."

Wan Mulin was fearless and had no intention of retreating. He immediately nodded and said, "Brother Yue Sheng, don't worry, I will do this!"

"good!"

Yue Sheng thought for a while and then instructed: "But don't worry, you don't have to deal with the Japanese when you return to Shanghai this time. Your task is to connect with Chen Hongchi, the stationmaster of the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, and be responsible for the liaison with the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, so there will be no problems with safety."

Yue Sheng looked at Si Guangyuan again and said, "The focus of this mission is to reach a settlement with Li Zhiqun and persuade him to agree to a ceasefire. This is also the most difficult point. The last time you rescued Mulin, you learned the way of the Japanese powerful Fujiwara Tomori. This time you also took medicine according to the prescription and asked him to come forward to persuade Li Zhiqun. Do you think it works?"

Si Guangyuan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "This is indeed a good idea. Fujiwara Tomori has a very important position among the Japanese class. When I saw him calling Kyosa Yuki with his own eyes, just a light sentence. Kyosa Yuki obediently let go of Mulin. It is obvious that he is powerful. If he can speak, Li Zhiqun dare not ignore him, but..."

"But what?" Yue Sheng asked quickly.

"This Fujiwara Tomori has a very big appetite. Last time, in order to see him, I spent a lot of money to ask Su Yue as the introducer, and also gave antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as the two best industries in the French Concession. Then I asked Fujiwara Tomori to speak out. This was just a rescue of Mulin. But this time, not only did Li Zhiqun stop, but also rescued those 200 bank employees. This money is definitely not a small amount. I guess we have to hand over all the industries in Shanghai, and the loss is too great!"

Si Guangyuan's words made Yue Sheng stunned. He realized that he was a little negligent. In his opinion, Wan Mulin's life was much more expensive than the lives of those 200 bank employees. However, in the eyes of Japanese powerful people like Fujiwara Tomohito, there was no difference between Wan Mumura and those bank employees. The price of saving one person or two hundred people is definitely different. According to Fujiwara Tomohito's appetite, how much does it cost?

After leaving Shanghai, I was naturally not as rich as before. Now I can’t afford such a huge loss, so I must explain it clearly to the Military Control Commission.

Yue Sheng thought about it over and over again, and gritted his teeth and said, "We will advance the cost. This time, we will give him all the industries in Shanghai and do this. Anyway, we will take action sooner or later."

Yue Sheng has many industries left in Shanghai, but looking at the current situation, it is hard to say whether he can return to Shanghai in the future. Moreover, the Japanese take back the concession is almost a foregone conclusion. By that time, these industries under his name will be difficult to preserve. It is better to take this opportunity to take the opportunity to get the money from the Military Control Commission.
