The Bravest

Refreshed, Lin Jie returned to the base of the Second Section of the Special Intelligence Investigation Office, where Gangcun was already waiting for him.

"Mr. Lin, you're late today, but I see you look good! Is your injury healed? There's a special operation today, is that okay?"

"No problem, what action? Did the Military Control Commission show up? How come there is no news at all?" Lin Jie was shocked. No way, is Zhang Wu so careless? It's only been a few days and he's exposed again.

"It's not that easy to catch the Military Control Commission. Let's go make some money today." Gangcun smiled proudly. To him, catching the Chongqing elements and making money were equally important, or even more important.

"Oh, didn't you say it would take another half a year? So soon? Our intelligence investigation has just begun?" Lin Jie thought that Gangcun couldn't wait to take action against the rich people in the concession, otherwise how could he get rich? However, Lin Jie was relieved. As long as he didn't deal with anti-Japanese elements, it would be fine. Besides, Europeans and Americans are not good people! They have been showing off their power in China for more than a hundred years.

"Haha, you can't guess it! Forget it, it's not a secret anymore. The butcher Wu Sibao died in Suzhou. You didn't expect it, did you? The Military Police Headquarters has ordered the arrest of Yu Aizhen and the seizure of Wu Sibao's assets. The task falls on you."

"Ah, why don't the gendarmerie go out directly? It's not a good idea for me to lead the team to arrest Yu Aizhen, right?" Lin Jie was cursing in his heart. This was just pushing him into the fire pit. Even if Wu Sibao was dead, his wife Yu Aizhen had an unusual background, and this woman was not necessarily easier to deal with than Wu Sibao, and she was in Suzhou.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, this is a test of your loyalty from the Military Police Headquarters. I don't think you will refuse it!" Gangcun obviously knew the intention of the Military Police Headquarters, which was to force Lin Jie to break with No. 76. Once Lin Jie arrested Yu Aizhen, Wu Sibao's former subordinates and the Shanghai Green Gang gangsters related to him would completely stand against Lin Jie, and Lin Jie would no longer be able to waver between the two sides and have his best interests at heart.

"Mr. Gangcun, I will let the teacher see my loyalty, but I don't have enough manpower. There are more than a dozen people. Even if we arrest him secretly, the news will inevitably leak out after we succeed. I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Shanghai and die in Suzhou. Otherwise, why don't I say hello to Li Shiqun! To avoid conflict!" Lin Jie wanted to drag Li Shiqun into the water to share the pressure with him. After all, the tall man will hold up the sky when it falls.

"You have the order from the Military Police Headquarters. Even Li Shiqun will not dare to stop you. Don't worry, Lin Sang. As for manpower, you just need to secretly arrest Yu Yu Aizhen and quickly evacuate back to Shanghai. The local Military Police and the Political Security Bureau will be responsible for seizing the assets. I will keep a share of the benefits for you."

"Well, it should be a unified action. When is the start time?" Lin Jie had no choice but to agree first.

"Complete the mission before dark tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Move quickly and finish it before any party can react. As long as there is no large-scale conflict on the spot, no one will step forward after the fact." Gangcun's words made Lin Jie understand that the Japanese had already planned it out. They wanted him, Lin Jie, to come forward and arrest them, but they would dig a hole and tie him to death on the Japanese tank so that he would not even have the chance to jump out of the vehicle in the future.

"Okay, I'll prepare now and take people to Suzhou before tonight. We should be able to return to Shanghai tomorrow night." Lin Jie didn't waste any more words. Since he couldn't refuse, it would be better for his fellow Taoist to die than for me to die.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, if you have any ideas, you can tell me. I will send Michiko's team from Section 1 to assist you." Damn, Gangcun is so cautious that he even sent people to watch Lin Jie, fearing that he would do something tricky.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gangcun. This way we can keep in touch. If there is an accident, I can ask for help from Mr. Gangcun. I do have a preliminary plan. I will take only ten people and take my wife to Suzhou for a tour. I will also visit Li Shiqun. It's noon now. Yu Aizhen lives not far from here! I want to pay my respects to Wu Sibao. Haha, this reason should work!"

"Haha, Mr. Lin, you are such a good person. You came out of Li Shiqun's house first, and then went to Wu's house to arrest people. This is not good for Li Shiqun! But I like it. Miss Michiko, come in!"

The door of Lin Jie's office was pushed open, and a professional woman in her twenties came in. She bowed to Lin Jie and said, "I'm Michiko from the first department. Please take care of me, Chief Lin!"

"Hahaha, Miss Michiko, you're polite. Let's take care of each other." Lin Jie stood up and returned the greeting.

"Haha, we're all family, you guys should get to know each other, I'll be leaving first."

……

That night, Lin Jie led ten of his men and five members of Michiko's team to Suzhou in batches, and then met up at a hotel.

"Liu Sheng, bring someone with me to the villa to see Yu Aizhen tomorrow. We will directly hold Yu Aizhen hostage at that time. If anyone tries to stop us, shoot immediately. Do not hesitate. Half a minute will be enough. Yidao and his men will monitor the gate and control our retreat. Once a gunshot is heard inside, kill the guards immediately and send someone to rush in to respond. The rest of you should keep an eye on the car and be ready to evacuate at any time. Ms. Michiko, is there any problem with giving you the task of covering the rear? At this point, it will be enough to delay for a minute. Then you can evacuate on your own and take the train back to Shanghai."

"Mr. Lin, there is no problem for us to cover your retreat, but Mr. Gangcun asked me to stay with you to ensure your safety. How about this, Mr. Lin and I go in together to burn incense for Wu Sibao, and the others will cover your retreat according to Mr. Lin's arrangement?" Michiko was also tasked with instructing Lin Jie, under the pretext of protecting Lin Jie. It would not be so easy for the Japanese to get rid of Lin Jie.

"Okay, thank you Miss Michiko for your kindness. Go to bed early tonight. We will visit Li Shiqun at 10 o'clock. Miss Michiko's people can go to the blocking location to make arrangements first. Liu Yidao, you guys should also go and check out the retreat route early in the morning."

"Ok."

······

The next morning, worried that Li Shiqun was out, Lin Jie called Li Shiqun at 8:00 to make an appointment for a home visit. At 9:50, Lin Jie showed up at Li Shiqun's villa with Liu Sheng and Michiko.

"Director, this is roughly what happened. The Japanese had planned this long ago. I received the notice yesterday at noon and have been under Japanese surveillance ever since, so I was unable to notify you. Now the Japanese have completed their arrangements, so they allowed me to report to you. It's obvious that they want you to do something you shouldn't do, and then the Japanese will have something on them that will be detrimental to you in the future. In fact, you can't change anything about the current situation, so you might as well just pretend that you don't know." Lin Jie reported everything to Li Shiqun in Li Shiqun's study.

"Damn it, the Japanese are making a fool of me. They agreed to release me for money, but when I came back, I died on my territory. Now they want to arrest Yu Aizhen and seize her property. They are really leaving her no chance of survival." Li Shiqun angrily threw the teacup to the ground.

"Director, this is how the Japanese behave. You better bear with it. I will start this afternoon. I hope you can give me ten minutes. I will definitely evacuate within ten minutes. Then you can pretend to give instructions to the people below."

"Okay, hurry up. If the road is blocked, it will be embarrassing for everyone. By the way, which road do you take back to Shanghai? Otherwise, I will send someone to escort you for a while."

"No need. The route was arranged by the Japanese. I don't know either. The woman outside was recently transferred from the Special High Technology Department to Gangcun. She followed us all the way. There is another group of people outside. I was just a figurehead." Lin Jie evaded the question half-truthfully.

"Well, please be careful. Yu Aizhen is not a good person. Either don't do it, or don't hesitate. Don't give her time to react. I will leave you alone."

······

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Lin Jie and his party appeared outside Wu Sibao's villa, registered on the visitor list, and entered the gate without anyone checking. In fact, the Wu family was no longer as heavily guarded as before. Wu Sihai died at home the day before yesterday, and people's hearts were already in chaos. Coupled with all kinds of rumors, the so-called loyalty in the past had disappeared with Wu Sihai's death. Even those who were still handling the funeral affairs were just trying to maintain some face.

Lin Jie said that he came to express condolences on behalf of the Japanese, and more people were unwilling to take the crime, so the body search procedure was exempted. Lin Jie, Liu Sheng and Ling Yi's men entered the hall smoothly. Not to mention the Japanese Michiko, not only did no one make things difficult for her, but the guards at the door followed her, glanced at her ID and hid far away.

The fierce resistance that Lin Jie had imagined did not occur at all. After burning incense, Lin Jie took advantage of the opportunity of Yu Aizhen's return gift as a family member and suddenly held Yu Aizhen hostage with a gun. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Michiko took out a document from the gendarmerie headquarters and announced the order to arrest Yu Aizhen on the spot. Only one of Yu Aizhen's bodyguards tried to stop her, but was shot dead by Liu Sheng. Then the dozens of people present automatically made way for her and watched Lin Jie and his four companions swagger out of the house.

After leaving the villa, Liu Sheng knocked Yu Aizhen unconscious and stuffed her into the back seat of the car. Two cars escorted Yang Chang away. At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he entered Shanghai. He contacted the military police nearby and escorted Yu Aizhen to the prison under the escort of the military police. Lin Jie's mission was completed.

Next, Lin Jie strengthened his security, fearing that the remnants of Wu Sibao would seek revenge on him. However, Lin Jie's worries were unnecessary. In this chaotic world, every day of survival requires struggle. Who would bother others for a dead person? However, he did hear from Gangcun that the Wu family had discovered astonishing wealth. In order to show generosity to the person who did the work, the Japanese gave Lin Jie a property originally under Wu Sibao's name, which was about the same size as the small garden where Lin Jie lived now, which appeased Lin Jie.
