The funny thing is that now his troubles are bigger than Su Xiwu's. He originally thought that he could kill Su Xiwu through Qian Hao, but he was afraid that Su Xiwu would use this opportunity to turn the tables.

Is it possible that Su Xiwu will take back his mayoral throne?

When Fu Quan'an thought of this, his heart ached and sweat broke out on his face.

Yu Dehai and Chai Ruhai, who were standing by, saw that Fu Quan'an looked as pale as death after answering the phone, and they knew something was wrong.

Chai Ruhai asked quickly:

"Mayor, what happened?"

Fu Quan'an sighed and said:

"Something happened to Li Chengzong. I'm afraid I'm in trouble this time."

He told the two about the killing of four Japanese and Li Chengzong's escape.

The two men were also shocked after hearing this. Although they both felt that Li Chengzong was a major suspect, they did not expect that he would kill the Japanese and escape.

Doesn't this clearly prove that Li Chengzong is the traitor of the Military Control Commission?

However, this news was mixed for Yu Dehai. The good news was that it confirmed that Li Chengzong was the traitor, so he was no longer a suspect. Moreover, he would not have to see Li Chengzong again, and he could appoint his own people to the position of captain of the guard battalion.

What he was worried about was that this would bring big trouble to Fu Quan'an, and might even jeopardize his position as mayor. If his position as mayor was lost, his position as section chief would be lost as well, which of course he did not want to see.

But Yu Dehai had been with Fu Quan'an for many years and knew that he was good at maneuvering, thoughtful, and resourceful. He could always turn danger into safety when faced with danger, just like the assassination at the entrance of the city government this time, in which the Japanese consultant died, but Fu Quan'an did not.

Therefore, Yu Dehai believed that this time Fu Quanan would definitely come up with a countermeasure, and would be able to escape unscathed, just like he did in the past.

Although Chai Ruhai was also surprised, he did not take it too seriously. Instead, he thought it might be a good thing as his suspicion was cleared.

As for Fu Quan'an's troubles, he didn't care about them now. He had already decided that following the old and stubborn Fu Quan'an was a dead end and that his life might be in jeopardy. He had a vivid memory of the scene in front of the city hall. He even hoped that Fu Quan'an's position as mayor would be lost and Su Xiwu would take over the mayor's seat.

His heart is now on Su Xiwu. His old classmate was right: there is hope only if he follows Su Xiwu.

But he had to comfort Fu Quan'an. After all, he was still his secretary, so he said with concern:

“Mayor, don’t worry too much and don’t hurt yourself.

As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. You will be fine this time too."

Yu Dehai also quickly followed and said:

"Yes, Chief Chai is right. You have been through all kinds of storms over the years. I have seen it all. You have made it through every time. I believe it will be the same this time. You will never capsize in this little ditch."

Fu Quan'an forced a smile and said:

"I know you are trying to comfort me. This time is different from the past. It involves the death of Foreign Minister Chen Lu and two Japanese advisors. It's a serious matter and a bit troublesome, but I will never sit still and wait for death. I must find a way to overcome this difficulty."

After Fu Quan'an finished speaking, he seemed to be in a slightly better mood. It was unclear whether it was because of the two people's comfort or because he had already made up his mind.

He thought for a moment, then said gloomily:

"Do you remember what I said when I returned home from the hospital the day I was assassinated by the Military Control Commission assassin?"

Yu Dehai was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Fu Quan'an meant. After thinking for a while, he said:

"You seem to be saying at home that Shancheng is not letting you down, and you will definitely not let Shancheng down.

If I remember correctly, this is what it said. "

When Chai Ruhai heard this, he also remembered that Fu Quan'an had indeed said this to them. What did he mean by bringing it up now?

Is he going to do something weird again to deal with Shancheng, like changing the flag of the concession to hit Shancheng's interests in the concession?

If this is the case, isn't he seeking death again? I really don't know what he is thinking.

Fu Quan'an nodded and said:

"Yes, you still remember what I said. I have thought about it carefully at home these two days.

Two measures were thought out to deal with the mountain city.

First, the city of Shanghai had signed the "Shanghai Concession Court Agreement" with the countries related to the concessions.

Shancheng has set up the Second Branch of Jiangsu High Court in the International Settlement and the Third Branch in the French Concession. I would like to propose to the concession authorities that the jurisdiction of Chinese courts in the concessions should be under the jurisdiction of the Reform Government, and the agreement signed between the concession authorities and Shancheng should be revoked.

The second is to demand that the concession authorities immediately hand over the police power for cross-border road construction, and that the Shanghai Municipal Police Department send people to exercise the police power to arrest all anti-Japanese elements in the cross-border road construction area without notifying the concession authorities. Aren’t those Military Control Commission elements hiding in the cross-border road construction area in the concession? I want to make sure they have nowhere to hide.

Secretary Chai, please immediately arrange for someone to write a circular letter and send it to the authorities of the various concessions, stating our demands."

"Okay, Mayor, I'll arrange it right away."

Chai Ruhai answered, but in his heart he was thinking, Fu Quanan is really smart. These two measures are ruthless to Shancheng. Shancheng will definitely not give up. Fu Quanan is really courting death. He must be careful in the future.

Yu Dehai hesitated and said:

"Mayor, would you please think carefully about this and not offend Shancheng for the time being? Doing so would be very dangerous. If Shancheng finds out, they will definitely retaliate against you."

Fu Quan'an sneered and said:

"Do you think they will let me go if I don't do it? You are so naive."

Chai Ruhai knew this would be the result, so he didn't try to persuade him from the beginning, and Yu Dehai's persuasion was in vain.

Chai Ruhai saw that Fu Quan'an looked unhappy and said:

"Mayor, I think you should go home and rest. Chief Yu and I are here, so don't worry. When the investigation team comes, I will explain to them that you are sick."

Fu Quan'an shook his head and said:

“I still have to meet with the investigation team. I can’t offend them. I’ll be fine after taking a rest.

You guys go out, let me be quiet for a while and think about it carefully."

"Okay, Mayor, I won't disturb your rest. I'll notify you when the investigation team arrives."

After the two of them finished talking, they left Fu Quan'an's office.

Chai Ruhai returned to the secretarial department. Several people in the office were chatting. When they saw Chai Ruhai's gloomy face, they immediately stopped talking and started working at their desks.
