Su Xiwu said:

"Very good, I was right about you. Come to my house tomorrow morning. I have already made arrangements with Butler Ding. Qian Hao will definitely call me. Tell him that I asked you to help him.

If he lives in a hotel, you should take him away immediately. It is not safe to live in a hotel and something could go wrong at any time. I will give you a safe house address and you can take him there.

It is impossible to leave Shanghai by ship or train. I have a smuggling trade route to the mainland, and the checkpoints have been bribed by me. Major Yoshida at the checkpoint receives a large sum of money from me every year. If you encounter any problems at the checkpoint, just find Major Yoshida.

I will arrange for a truck to stop at the house address I give you, hide him in the cargo, and you drive him through the checkpoint.

I have prepared 10,000 French francs for him. You can give it to him and let him go to Guangzhou and then to Hong Kong.

There is no risk in taking this route, so just go for it. I won't treat you unfairly after you're done.

Don't you want to start a business? I will help you start your business right after I come back. I will also let you use this route. You should know that if you sell in-demand goods in the mainland, the profit will be double or triple that in Shanghai."

Yuan Ye knew that this was a benefit from Su Xiwu to get him to work for him. The benefit was indeed very tempting. Smuggling goods from Hong Kong to Shanghai would bring two or three times the profit, and it could be doubled or tripled again in the mainland. The profit was truly astonishing.

No wonder Su Xiwu dared to take this risk and was not afraid of being accused of aiding the enemy. I'm afraid those powerful people did the same thing. Even the Japanese benefited greatly from it, so they turned a blind eye.

Yuan Ye had heard a long time ago that Chai Ruhai's father was also involved in the smuggling business, and that he had a close relationship with Fu Quan'an. He believed that Fu Quan'an must have been involved as well. Who would miss out on such a lucrative opportunity?

Su Xiwu said that there was no risk in this job, but Yuan Ye was still skeptical. If there was really no risk at all, why didn't he let his own people do it?

It's because he's afraid that if something goes wrong, he won't have any room to maneuver, and if he's forced to do it, if something really goes wrong, he can deny it outright and have a way to clear himself.

This is where Su Xiwu's cunning lies, you really have to admire him.

Yuan Ye thought, since he had agreed to do it, he must do it. If he succeeded, he would help Su Xiwu eliminate the huge hidden danger and resolve this fatal crisis for him.

Su Xiwu would look at him differently. Not only would he gain greater trust from Su Xiwu in the future, but his business would also be foreseeably prosperous with Su Xiwu's care.

When taking action, you must be careful and act according to circumstances. You will always have to take some risks. If you want benefits, it is impossible not to take any risks. After all, wealth and honor are achieved through risk.

Yuan Ye thought of this and said:

"Please rest assured, teacher. I will complete the task you assigned to me. Please wait for my good news!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Su Xiwu was very satisfied with Yuan Ye's statement, and the anxious mood he felt when he first heard that Qian Hao was still in Shanghai also calmed down a little.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Ye went to the safe house in the French Concession. It was already past seven o'clock, and there was still some time before Chu Yuntian came at eight o'clock, so Yuan Ye used this time to draw the appearance of Xu Xiang, the chef of Fu Quan'an.

After finishing the painting, Yuan Ye looked at it carefully and felt that Xu Xiang's appearance was still very simple, giving people a very honest feeling.

But you can't judge a person by his appearance. Who knows what kind of person he is inside? Can we convince him to kill Fu Quan'an? Will the law of "a big reward will always bring a brave man" work for him?

Everything is unknown now. We will know only after contacting him. He has already decided who to contact Xu Xiang.

It was Li Hui from Team Eight. Li Hui came from the Green Gang, was sociable, flexible, and had good eloquence, which were what Yuan Ye valued in him.

The last time he was sent to investigate the Enchantment Gang, he performed very well and completed the task very well, which made Yuan Ye very satisfied.

Therefore, Yuan Ye felt that Li Hui was the most suitable candidate and decided to send Li Hui to do Xu Xiang's work this time. After reporting to Chu Yuntian, if his superiors agreed to this action, he would go to the safe house of Team 8 to meet Li Hui and give him instructions in person.

Yuan Ye put Xu Xiang's sketch into the system space. Not long after, he heard knocks on the door outside the courtyard. Three heavy knocks and three light knocks were the meeting code he and Chu Yuntian agreed upon. When he looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock. Yuan Ye knew that it was Chu Yuntian who came.

He listened and confirmed that no one was following Chu Yuntian. He knew that such caution was necessary, and he had developed this habit. In such a dangerous environment, this habit could save lives at critical moments.

Yuan Ye then quickly walked into the yard, opened the gate, and welcomed Chu Yuntian into the inner room.

When Yuan Ye saw Chu Yuntian's heavy mood, he knew that he already knew what happened outside the city government gate this morning. Fu Quanan was not dead. Although a Japanese adviser, a colonel, and several Japanese soldiers and guards died, the price was also heavy.

A small team was wiped out. Those were seven lives! Seven true warriors!

Moreover, his death was extremely tragic and heroic. Even though Chu Yuntian was used to seeing life and death, it was impossible for him not to feel heavy. In fact, Yuan Ye felt bad every time he thought about it.

Chu Yuntian said in a low voice:

"If you don't come to me, I will come to you. Tell me in detail what happened outside the city hall this morning."

In fact, Chu Yuntian only knew a general idea. He was not clear about the specific situation and had many questions in his mind.

Why didn't the target of this operation, Fu Quan'an, die? Instead, the Japanese advisor died?

He was not surprised by Wang Jianwu's sacrifice, but why did the six people in the small team he sent also sacrifice?

He had repeatedly told them to cancel the operation if the enemy was too numerous, so why didn't they obey his orders?

What exactly happened at the scene?

These doubts have been tormenting Chu Yuntian, especially the sacrifice of the six people he sent made him very regretful. He felt that he should not have sent them.

Yuan Ye recounted the whole incident in detail with a heavy heart.

Finally said:

"I was an eyewitness. I was at the scene when the incident happened and witnessed the sacrifice of Wang Jianwu and his team of six members. They were all very brave and died tragically.

But I don’t understand why these six team members were sent?

It was completely useless. The enemy was strong and we were weak, and the power gap was too huge. Wang Jianwu could not be saved at all, and his life was sacrificed in vain.

I really can’t figure it out!”

There was some complaint in Yuan Ye's words. Although Chu Yuntian was his superior, he still wanted to ask him face to face and make things clear. He would have to get it off his chest.
