The Spy

Chapter 258 All Guessed
The return of Xu Qingyun and his companion is a big event for the entire Haifeng.

There is not only the Xu family in Haifeng, there are several other families, but their scale and influence cannot be compared with the Xu family. The Xu family is the signboard of Haifeng and also the leader.

This situation is not limited to Haifeng. Many counties have a leading local family.

The next morning, Yan Ming ran to Xu Qingyun's room.

"Stationmaster, the county magistrate is here."

The two brothers were inconspicuous in Nanjing, but became the highest officials after coming to Haifeng.

Xu Qingyun is the deputy chief of the Military Intelligence Department. He exercises the power of the chief and his rank is higher than that of the county magistrate.

Not to mention Xu Qingyun, the rank of director Xu Qingshi is no less than that of the county magistrate.

With the influence of the Xu family, when the two brothers returned, the county magistrate had to take the initiative to meet them instead of them going to see the county magistrate.

"Let him wait in the living room first."

Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. The two brothers had different influences, and the officials who were not stupid knew what to do.

"Yes."

Yan Ming went to greet the county magistrate. This time Xu Qingyun only brought two people home, one was Yan Ming and the other was Zheng Jiming.

Zheng Jiming is from Tianjin, so he could go home for the New Year, and Yan Ming took the initiative to follow him.

Wuhan Station is currently guarded by Lu Gaowa, and Zhao San is also there. The two of them can work together to guard Wuhan Station.

"elder brother."

After packing up, when I was about to go out, I happened to meet Xu Qingshi who was also walking towards me.

"Let's go over there."

Xu Qingshi smiled and nodded. When the county magistrate arrived, he asked to see the two brothers, not just one of them.

He can't afford to offend either of the two brothers of the Xu family. It would not be appropriate to meet one of them first or the other later, so he might as well meet them together.

For this purpose, he prepared two identical gifts.

"Director Xu, Station Master Xu."

Seeing the two brothers come in together, County Chief Sang Wentong, who had been sitting for a while, immediately stood up.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Xu Qingshi responded with a smile that Sang Wentong had been in Haifeng for more than half a year and was doing a pretty good job. At least he was not like some local officials who were so cruel and cruel that they kept exploiting the people and could collect taxes even after a hundred years.

He is a good county magistrate in this era if he is greedy when necessary, makes money when necessary, and does not go overboard.

"It's okay, I didn't wait long."

Sang Wentong hurriedly replied that the Xu family was a wealthy local family and the two brothers were both officials. Even though he was the county magistrate, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the two brothers.

This era is very different from the past and the future.

The replacement of county heads was very frequent. In some counties, several heads were replaced within a year, and most of them could not last more than a year. This was mainly due to the corruption of warlords and the Kuomintang.

In addition to dealing with the higher-ups, the county magistrate also had to maintain good relations with the local wealthy families. When he first took office, the first family Sang Wentong visited was the Xu family. When the two brothers of the Xu family returned, he was also the first to visit.

After a brief chat, Sang Wentong tactfully said goodbye.

After he left, several other big families in the county came to pay their respects one after another in order as agreed.

In Haifeng, it was no longer a secret that the Xu brothers were high-ranking officials in Nanjing, and the big families knew even more.

Both Xu Qingshi and Xu Qingyun are of very high rank, especially Xu Qingyun, who is now a spy and cannot be offended in any way.

They dare not fail to observe the proper etiquette in the slightest.

Even some families around Haifeng sent people to ask for a meeting and give gifts.

In the days before the New Year, Xu Qingyun and his friends received so many gifts that they were overwhelmed.

New Year’s Eve finally arrived amidst the busyness.

The Xu family had already decorated the house with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous, and not only did the host family eat well, but the servants also ate very well.

The Xu family slaughtered several big fat pigs, and everyone could eat to their heart's content.

On the first day of the new year, the two old men sat in the main hall, led by Xu Qingshi, and everyone took turns to come and wish them a happy new year.

There are thick red envelopes next to the two people, and everyone who pays New Year's greetings can get a New Year's red envelope.

The red envelope contains one yuan of legal tender, and hundreds of yuan worth of red envelopes alone are given out.

Not only the people living at home come to pay New Year's greetings, but also the surrounding neighbors, people from other families, and their tenants. Many people bring their children to pay New Year's greetings.

Those whose families are better off bring more generous gifts.

Most people would also bring a bowl of dumplings. The Xu family was good to their tenants and at least allowed them to have a good meal during the New Year.

A bowl of dumplings in exchange for two red envelopes, the tenants left happily, and they made a lot of money on the first day of the new year.

Xu Qingyun also went to someone else's house with Xu Qingshi.

They are mainly the wealthy families in Huili City and some relatives of the Xu family.

At this time, no matter what their status is, they have to bow when they see adults, and then receive a red envelope as New Year's money.

The money is not much, but it represents joy.

This style of celebrating the New Year is hard to find in cities in later generations. As time goes by, the New Year atmosphere becomes weaker.

Especially the sound of firecrackers, which is constant in this era and is set off by every household.

The whole town was filled with the smell of firecrackers, which was particularly pleasant.

"Father, mother, I'm leaving."

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qingyun came to say goodbye to his parents. His mother looked reluctant and said, "Can't you wait until the fifteenth before leaving?"

"No, there's something going on at the station, I need to go back and deal with it."

Xu Qingyun had been out for quite some time, and something had happened at the station, so he really needed to go back and deal with it.

“Work is important, but you must pay attention to safety.”

Father Xu Jiaming said softly. He did not try to persuade him to stay, but his expression and tone showed reluctance.

Their son is still young and has been away all the time. It would be absolutely a lie for them as parents to say they don’t want to.

"Don't worry, Dad. I will protect myself, and you too."

During the Chinese New Year, Xu Qingyun mentioned his business several times in front of his father and uncle. They were also surprised to learn that Xu Qingyun's business was so profitable.

Later, Xu Qingyun said that when the business becomes bigger in the future, he still hopes that the two elders can go over to look after it.

Even though Ma Xiangshun and Xu Fuzhong are family members, they are not as trustworthy as real relatives.

It is already millions of dollars now, and it will only be more in the future.

The two had no objection to this. According to Xu Qingyun, the scale of the business would most likely exceed 10 million in the future, which was more wealth than all the assets of their Xu family combined. Money could make people excited, and such a large industry really needed to be looked after by one's own people.

The two of them were moved, and Xu Qingyun's goal was half achieved.

In fact, his most important purpose was to take the two people away and not allow them to stay here any longer, otherwise they would definitely be harmed by the Japanese in the future.

Our ancestors were all loyal martyrs. Making them traitors would be more painful than killing them. If they did not obey the Japanese, the Japanese would definitely not keep such an influential family like the Xu family.

As long as they leave first, Xu Qingyun has a way to persuade them to sell their family property.

Even if it is sold at a low price, it is much better than having it taken away by the Japanese.

It doesn’t matter if we really can’t sell it. When war comes, the land can be given to tenants to cultivate it, and the factory can be temporarily closed. We can wait for the Japanese to surrender and take these things back.

"Set off."

After saying goodbye to his uncle and cousin, Xu Qingyun led his men to set off. They would first drive to the train station and then take the train to Wuhan.

First class trains are more comfortable and travel faster.

As for the car, it originally belongs to the business, so we can just let them drive it back when the time comes.

Including the guards of the trading company, they will return to Shanghai by boat after arriving in Wuhan. The protection mission is successfully completed.

In Wuhan, the city is very lively and people are still immersed in the joy of the New Year.

For ordinary people, the New Year has not come until the 15th.

"Stationmaster."

Lu Gaowa and Zhao San came to the train station together to pick someone up. They kept their heads down and didn't dare to raise them.

They made a mistake during the Chinese New Year.

Takeshi Yamashita is dead.

He did not commit suicide, but died of illness. Yamashita Takemoto was already ill and not in good health. During the New Year period, the supervision of him was a bit lax, and his body was not carefully checked.

Yamashita Takeshi was also a ruthless person. He was clearly sick and had a fever, but he didn't say a word.

By the time they discovered it, it was too late and he could not be saved when he was sent to the hospital.

"Go back and talk."

Xu Qingyun did not ask them at the train station. Instead, he waited until they arrived at the office and asked the two to tell him what had happened in detail.

The matter was not that complicated. The main reason was that the guards were lax during the Chinese New Year and did not check Yamashita Takeshi's body as carefully as before.

Yamashita Takeshi was in his forties and had been severely punished before. The weather was cold during the New Year period. He knew that he had an old illness and deliberately let himself get sick from the cold. Coupled with the laxity of the guards, he eventually died on the way to the hospital.

"Guards will be punished. If they don't show outstanding performance within three months, they will be sent back to headquarters."

"Lü Gaowa has been punished and her March bonus has been suspended."

"Zhao San, reflect on yourself and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Soon Xu Qingyun gave his opinion on how to deal with the situation. Although he planned to deal with Yamashita Takeshi, he did not do it in this way. Yamashita Takeshi's death proved that Wuhan Station was not as solid as he thought, and there were still loopholes.

If there are problems, they must be corrected to avoid similar incidents from happening again in the future.

"Yes."

Lu Gaowa and Zhao San both breathed a sigh of relief. The two guards were unlucky, but it was their responsibility. According to the requirements, they had to check on Yamashita Wu's condition regularly. It was only when he had a high fever and fell into a coma that they realized something was wrong and they should be punished.

Fortunately, the stationmaster gave them a chance. As long as they performed well within three months, they could continue to stay in Wuhan Station.

To have outstanding performance does not mean that you have to make great achievements, just performing better than others is enough.

As for Lu Gaowa, he had no objection to being punished. The stationmaster handed over the Wuhan Station to him, but the most important prisoner died. This was a big mistake.

Only fining him for three months is already a mercy for him.

Zhao San was just an assistant and had a lighter responsibility, so he was not fined and was only asked to reflect on his actions.

Xu Qingyun kept Zhao San to check for omissions and fix the gaps. It was Zhao San's fault that he failed to discover the hidden danger.

Xu Qingyun understood that no one is perfect, and he could not demand too much from everyone. Everyone makes mistakes, including him. He had to give these people a chance to correct their mistakes.

Even though Yamashita Takeshi is dead, we still want to use him.

Xu Qingyun immediately ordered people to dump Yamashita Takeshi's body into a mass grave outside the city. The police helped to dispose of the body, and they knew Yamashita Takeshi's identity.

With the help of the police, let the Japanese know that Yamashita Takeshi is dead, and find out the cause of death.

So as to reassure the Army Intelligence Department and allow those sleeper agents to come back.

Not long after, Tsukino received the news of Yamashita Takeshi's death.

"Dead from illness?"

Tsukino was very cautious and sent someone to the hospital to inquire, which confirmed that the Military Intelligence Department had indeed sent the person to the hospital, but unfortunately the patient was too seriously ill and the doctors were unable to save him.

According to his investigation, Takeshi Yamashita had a high fever before his death, and he did it on purpose.

Yamashita Takeshi was indeed an imperial warrior who used illness as a means to show his loyalty to the emperor.

He sent people outside the city and found Yamashita Takeshi's body, confirming that it was indeed him. Yamashita Takeshi was dead, but the Military Intelligence Department did not take any action, which meant that Yamashita Takeshi did not say anything useful to the Chinese.

After confirmation, the information was quickly passed to the headquarters and finally fell into the hands of the Army Intelligence Department.

"Yamashita Takeshi is dead?"

Tokugawa breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the investigation results given by the Wuhan Special High Section.

If they could not return after evacuating so many hidden agents, they would also suffer heavy losses. Yamashita Takeshi withstood the test and did not betray the empire or the emperor.

Yamashita Takeshi is a brave warrior, and he will help Yamashita Takeshi to get credit.

The most urgent task at the moment is to get the previously evacuated undercover agents back as soon as possible. They have been out for a long time, and the later they go back, the less sufficient their reasons will be.

Fortunately, the Chinese New Year has not yet ended, which gives them a lot of buffer time.

"Come here, send a signal to all places, tell them that the danger has been lifted and they can return to work."

Tokugawa gave a decisive order, and it would also take time to notify these people.

In Wuhan, everyone who returned to work knew that someone had been fined.

Yamashita Takeshi is so important, it is really wrong to let him die. Lu Gaowa is an old man who came from Nanjing with the stationmaster, and he was punished this time.

Their demerits are not just for show, but are rather serious punishments.

A demerit cycle lasts for one year.

If there is any further disciplinary action within this year, the person will be dismissed directly.

Even if Lu Gaowa is Xu Qingyun's man, he will not be able to keep his position as the leader of the action team.

"Congratulations, Team Leader Fu."

There were also good things happening at the Wuhan station. On the third day after Xu Qingyun returned, he promoted Fu Wenzhen to deputy team leader.

Given his previous merits in discovering and arresting Japanese spies, it was natural for him to be promoted.

Fu Wenzhen is most likely his comrade. Since he is one of us, he should be promoted without reservation. With him around, he can provide the organization with a lot of useful information.

Xu Qingyun didn't know that because of him, Fu Wenzhen was now in a dormant state.

"Thank you."

Fu Wenzhen was packing up and moving to the new office. The team leader and the team members were together, but the deputy team leader had his own office, which was a big step forward.

His last name is Fu and he is the deputy team leader, so it is simpler to address him without adding the word "deputy".

Lu Gaowa had no objection to promoting Fu Wenzhen, as Fu Wenzhen's performance was indeed good and outstanding.

Moreover, Fu Wenzhen was a veteran of the Wuhan station, and his promotion will give former veterans more confidence.

Previously, Fang Gaoyuan and Lu Jianhu, two old colleagues, were team leaders, and now Fu Wenzhen has also been promoted to such an important position as deputy team leader of the action team, which shows that the stationmaster really treats them equally.

Do your job well and make contributions, and you don't have to worry about being suppressed or missing out on promotion opportunities.

The person who replaced Fu Wenzhen was Gui Tianhai, who also made great contributions last time. It was thanks to them that they captured Yamashita Wu.

Promotion to captain is a natural progression.

"Stationmaster, they are back. Both of them are back."

On the third day, Yan Ming came to report to Xu Qingyun that the intelligence team had not been idle before the New Year. They were investigating merchants in Wuhan, mainly those who had suddenly left after the incident and had not returned. There were too many merchants, unlike in the unit, where they could find the person in charge of personnel to find out the situation.

But they still found one.

"Keep an eye on the person first, don't rush to take action."

Xu Qingyun immediately replied that this time the Japanese spies were found not only in Wuhan, but also in Hangzhou and other places.

If they had to take action, they had to do it simultaneously; otherwise, once the Japanese discovered that they were exposed, they would most likely evacuate people from other cities again.

If they leave this time, the Japanese spy will never come back.

"Yes."

Yan Ming was very happy, and at the same time ordered that all the people who left Wuhan during the last period of time and returned this time should be investigated as soon as possible.

The intelligence team is short-staffed, so the operations team comes to help.

With more than a hundred people jointly investigating, progress will be faster. He cannot control other cities, but in Wuhan, all of them must be investigated thoroughly to ensure that no Japanese spy is missed.

At Hangzhou Station, Miao Feng was also investigating.

However, their investigation was much slower than that of Wuhan. Miao Feng ordered to keep an eye on the people first so that the stationmaster would know the severity of the truth.

If you are eager to make achievements and arrest people, and it affects other cities, the Virgo will not remember your contribution this time. He will only think that you have ruined the matter and are not fit for any important purpose.

Although he could not be dismissed immediately for his meritorious service, his position as stationmaster would probably be lost before long.

For those at the top, maximizing benefits is the key.

"He Shen, have you finished dealing with the family affairs?"

In the Logistics Section of the Security Department, a colleague took the initiative to ask He Shen, He Shen suddenly asked for leave very early before the New Year, saying that something happened at home and he had to deal with it as soon as possible.

He was away for more than a month and only came back after the New Year.

"It's all taken care of, thank you."

He Shen smiled. His real name was Kaga. He was a captain agent in the Japanese Army Intelligence Department. After receiving the emergency evacuation signal a few years ago, he hid in the countryside for a while.

After receiving a safety signal through the radio, they returned.

He didn't know what was going on, but he received an urgent notice that he had to leave first to ensure his own safety.

"It's good that it's dealt with. You were away before the New Year, and your New Year goods were taken away by others."

The visitor said angrily that the security department was not small and there were basically some benefits during the Chinese New Year, although not much, just some vegetables and eggs, no meat.

There weren't many benefits to be gained from above, and when it came time to exchange the French currency for silver, the Military Intelligence Department got there first. The Security Department didn't have much money, so naturally there wasn't much they could give out.

When the other colleagues saw that He Shen was not there, they took his share away.

The person who spoke didn't get anything, so he was naturally jealous. As soon as He Shen came back, he told him about this to provoke others.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not here and I don't know when I'll be back. It's easy for it to go bad if I leave it there."

He Shen smiled and shook his head. Their conversation had been recorded.

After Yamashita Takeshi died, Xu Qingyun had a premonition that he would come back, so he asked Yan Ming to install eavesdropping devices in advance, not only in his office but also at home.

However, the location where it is installed in the house is very hidden, so he will activate it after he inspects the house.

He Shen was a Japanese spy. After leaving urgently and returning, he would definitely check his home. But not the office, as there were too many people there and he could not conduct a detailed inspection.

In the entire security department, only the director Ban Dingbao knew his identity.

The Military Intelligence Department needed to conduct close surveillance, so they needed to send people to the Security Department. The people they sent were intelligence personnel from Nanjing. They were unfamiliar faces, and many people in the Security Department had never seen them, so their identities would not be exposed.

Arranging personnel requires the cooperation of Ban Dingbao.

Ban Dingbao was extremely depressed when he heard that a Japanese spy had infiltrated his organization. Xu Qingyun already had evidence against him, and now something like this had happened. He dared not refuse the request made by the Military Intelligence Department.

Before coming back, He Shen went to see his dead mailbox.

During the time he was away, intelligence was deposited into several dead mailboxes. It was intelligence he had instigated traitors to defect. Some of the information was time-sensitive and had lost its effect.

He must verify this information as quickly as possible, then send it to headquarters and give the reward to the mole.

The traitors he instigated were very greedy, and would not provide him with intelligence seriously unless they were paid in full.

After the Guo Party switched to legal tender, the benefits they gave to traitors also became legal tender, which was a little more than the previous money.

The main reason is that the legal currency has depreciated, and they must pay according to the previous amount of oceans, otherwise these moles will have objections.

Raising moles is expensive and troublesome.

Everything is fine at work and at home, so he can go deliver the message with peace of mind after get off work today.

He left in such a hurry that he didn't take the radio with him.

After returning, he immediately went to the safe house and found that no one had entered and the radio was still there, proving that he was indeed fine this time.

This result made him feel much more at ease.

"Safe house?"

Yan Ming soon received a report that He Shen went to another place after get off work, and the surveillance person suspected that it was his safe house.

"Go check his electricity right now."

Yan Ming gave the order. He suspected that this safe house was where the radio was stored. The Special High Section collected intelligence in groups, and each group had only one radio.

The Army Intelligence Department has one for each person.

This resulted in a larger number of Japanese spies in the Special High Police and a smaller number in the Army Intelligence Department.

Yan Ming had no idea how many Army Intelligence Department people were still there in Wuhan. After this thorough investigation, Yan Ming believed that all the Army Intelligence Department agents would be found.

No matter what his previous identity was, as long as he had not been in Wuhan during this period, he would be found by them.

"Yes."

The subordinates took the order and left, and the results of the inspection were quickly reported to Yan Ming.

His electricity usage is not normal. There is only one light in the house, and it consumes obviously more electricity than a light bulb.

"Is anyone still there?"

If the battery level is incorrect, it means the target is using an electrical appliance, most likely a radio.

"Just left."

"Keep an eye on him, and send someone to quietly check if there is a radio. Remember, no traces can be left behind, and if a radio is found, do not touch it."

It was not time to close the net yet, and they couldn't let the other party know that they had been in, otherwise He Shen would definitely run away.

Even if they could catch him, it might alert the Japanese and force other cities to arrest people as well.

Wuhan has not been fully checked, let alone other cities. What they need now is time to try to find more Japanese spies from the Army Intelligence Department.

The more people are caught at other stations, the greater the contribution of Wuhan station will be.

"Stationmaster, after investigation, we found another one."

In Hangzhou, the head of the intelligence team ran to Miao Feng's office to report that they had found two people before, and with this one, there were a total of three.

"Great, send a message to headquarters immediately to report our progress."

Miao Feng was very happy. The case of the Army Intelligence Department was being monitored personally by the director, and was being carefully investigated in places including Shanghai.

With the clues, Chu Zuo wanted to do something big. If he could catch a lot of Japanese spies at one time, it would definitely satisfy the old man.

The most important thing is that this time the action is taken across the country, not just limited to Nanjing.

"Yes."

After the intelligence team leader left, the three Japanese spies captured them and were able to interrogate the traitors they had instigated.

This is a huge achievement for Hangzhou Station.

Moreover, traitors usually have good pay, and raiding their homes can bring them a lot of benefits, so they like this kind of work the most.

In Wuhan, He Shen had been back to the Security Department for five days.

There were no problems for five days, which paralyzed He Shen and made him think that he was absolutely safe.

As for the people from the Military Intelligence Department who entered the Security Department, they did not arouse any suspicion from him.

He was away for too long, more than a month.

The Security Department has frequent personnel changes, with many people coming in and leaving. Only two people came into the Military Intelligence Department, and they were not in their Logistics Department, so they did not attract his attention or suspicion.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, streets of Wuhan.

Xu Qingyun led his people walking on the road. There were children holding lanterns everywhere and many people had smiles on their faces. Various suona teams had already made preparations and were competing for the first place tonight.

Wealthier families would buy some fireworks and let their children set them off.

Especially some children, wearing tiger-head hats, are very cute.

It is a pity that such peace and prosperity only lasted for more than two years.

Xu Qingyun remembered that Wuhan fell in 38, followed by seven years of suffering. After the fall of Wuhan, the city's population was reduced by half. After Japan occupied Wuhan, it became even more depressed.

It took a long time for this place, once a thoroughfare connecting nine provinces, to regain its prosperity.

Leng Wenxuan followed Xu Qingyun closely, looking around from time to time.

Their stationmaster seldom goes out. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so he came out to take a look. However, he will definitely go back before dark, so he will not be able to join in the night fun.

The Japanese have always wanted to assassinate Xu Qingyun, so he can't stay away for long.

"Let's go back."

After strolling for a while, Xu Qingyun returned to Wuhan Station. He came out today just to relax. For his safety, Lu Gaowa brought a lot of people with him. He couldn't let so many people follow him and keep him worried.

As night falls, fireworks appear in the sky.

The crackling sound of firecrackers was intermittent.

After get off work, He Shen rode away on his bicycle. Instead of going home directly, he came to the safe house.

Today was the day for him to send a routine message to report safety.

This was also the second time he sent a message after returning.

"Minister, there are six more people who have reported safety."

In the Army Intelligence Department, Tokugawa has been paying attention to the situation of hidden agents. Many agents, like He Shen, sent telegrams for the second time.

Being able to send two telegrams in succession basically confirms their safety.

"Very good. Keep an eye on them. No security guards are allowed to directly participate in the operation in the future."

Tokugawa ordered that the arrest of Takeshi Yamashita was a reminder to them that people like Takeshi Yamashita who knew a lot of secrets should never take risks easily.

Otherwise, it is likely to bring huge disaster to the lurking personnel.

As time passed, the investigation in Wuhan was finally completed.

They found another person who worked in a western restaurant. He also suddenly asked for leave on the day He Shen left, and his time was almost the same as when He Shen returned.

After verifying his identity, it was finally determined that he was a fake.

This time they found three Japanese spies.

Including the Japanese spy couple who initially instigated Ni Shoulin to defect, there were a total of five people.

"Webmaster, there are probably only a few of them in Wuhan. When will we close the net?"

Yan Ming came to report to Xu Qingyun that they had found all the Japanese spies and the investigation had stopped.

"hold on."

Xu Qingyun replied softly that they had finished the investigation, but the other stations had not yet, so they should give them some more time and wait for them to finish the investigation before closing the net together.

Currently, only the headquarters knows the progress of other stations. Although he found the clues, the headquarters did not tell him the details of the other stations.

That is not Xu Qingyun's job.

"Yes."

Yan Ming took the order and kept an eye on the three of them. They also found their dead mailboxes and radio stations. When the time was right, they would be able to arrest them immediately.

It was the end of February.

26th, Singapore.

Mr. Chen received several telegrams early in the morning. After reading them, Mr. Chen sat at his desk and remained silent for a long time.

The telegram came from Japan. Just yesterday, a very important event happened in Japan.

A group of young military officers suddenly launched an armed coup, killing many Japanese senior officials, including two former prime ministers and some other important ministers.

The current Prime Minister narrowly escaped death.

It was the Imperial Way officers in the army who took action.

This reminded him of the conversation he had with Xu Qingyun years ago. Only a little over a month had passed, but he didn't expect that Xu Qingyun had predicted it exactly.

At that time, Xu Qingyun said that the Japanese Army Minister's suppression of the Imperial Way Faction had caused dissatisfaction among the Imperial Way Faction, and they were likely to do something extraordinary. Mr. Chen also believed that Xu Qingyun was extreme and that such a thing would never happen.

The consequence not only really happened, but was more serious than he had imagined.

It is said that Emperor Ikuto was very angry and did not agree to the demands made by the Imperial Way Faction.

"Father, you called me."

Chen Changcun quickly came to the study, and Mr. Chen placed several telegrams in front of him: "Take a look first."

Chen Changcun read very quickly. When he read the first letter, his expression changed and he was shocked.

"Father, Xu Qingyun guessed everything."

If the Imperial Way Faction really rebelled, Xu Qingyun had already said that they would not accept it quietly, and Japan would be in for a major shock.

"Yes, we have a batch of goods going to Wuhan recently. You will be responsible for escorting them there."

Mr. Chen nodded slightly. The Chen family has a big business, not only abroad, but also has many trade routes in China. Goods like this going to Wuhan have always been escorted by people within the company, and there is no need for important family members at all.

Although Chen Changcun is his youngest son, he is also an important member of the Chen family.

"Yes, I'll get ready right away."

Chen Changcun understood his father's intention of doing this, which was to give him this opportunity to meet Xu Qingyun.

He had a good impression of Xu Qingyun and was very willing to accept such a task.

"Go."

Mr. Chen waved his hand, and after his son left, he sighed heavily.

What he is worried about is not Japan. Even if the coup there succeeds, it will not have much impact on him. What he is worried about is the domestic situation.

I have been studying these two days, so the update time is a little late. Please forgive me, friends. It’s the last day of the month, and the monthly tickets are doubled. Friends, please check if there are any monthly tickets in your ticket folder. If there are, I hope you can support Xiaoyu.
