He felt a little ashamed because he had seen so many deaths that he developed a fear of death and wanted to retreat from it.

Is this still the passionate young man he once was?

Since he traveled through time, his abilities have been constantly improving, and he has grown from an agent with mediocre abilities to an agent with outstanding abilities. Yuan Ye knows very well that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

He has to complete more tasks and earn more points. The purpose of doing so from now on is not to achieve the goal of redeeming himself, but to better improve his abilities and fulfill the responsibility of a Chinese in the face of national crisis.

Yuan Ye felt that he had grown up, and the passionate young man he once was was back.

He laughed, and laughed happily. The waiter who came over to refill his coffee couldn't help but smile when he saw the bright smile on his face.

Yuan Ye thought, it turns out that happiness can be contagious.

He gave the waiter a five-dollar tip, which refilled his happiness, and that should have made him happy for the day.

The waiter left happily. The sunlight shone through the glass onto Yuan Ye, making him feel warm. He took a sip of coffee comfortably, picked up the newspaper he had just bought, turned to the first page, and a sensational headline caught his eye.

"Fifteen bodies were found in an abandoned factory, the owner of Maoyuan Gold Shop was killed, and $40,000 disappeared!"

Yuan Ye took a look at the content curiously. It said that the police station received a report and arrived at the scene. Someone recognized one of the bodies as Sun Jianmin, the owner of Maoyuan Gold Shop.

The family members were notified to come to the scene and told the police station that Sun Jianmin had 40,000 U.S. dollars with him to trade gold and other goods with the seller, but the police station did not find 40,000 U.S. dollars or gold and other goods at the scene.

Inspector Zhang Yuqiang of the police station investigated the scene and found the guns, shells and footprints left at the scene, and found that the case was very dramatic. At first, the buyers and sellers had a fight, and it was suspected that the gangs were fighting each other. The sellers shot and killed five buyers. Then a third group intervened after the fight between the buyers and sellers and shot the sellers. Finally, a mysterious lone thief appeared and attacked from behind, killing eight people in the third group, four of whom were shot and the other four were killed. The lone thief robbed $40,000 and gold worth $40,000.

Yuan Ye felt that Inspector Zhang Yuqiang was quite capable and his judgment was basically consistent with the actual situation.

However, it was a bit of an exaggeration for the newspaper to call him a lone thief. Those who died were not good people. He was eradicating evil and enforcing justice, so he should be called a lone knight.

Yuan Ye laughed at himself. He thought that the murder of the Ecstasy Gang would definitely be reported in the newspapers tomorrow. He had even thought of the title:

"The gathering of the "Hunhun Gang" was wiped out and all the property in their homes was looted!"

However, this time the protagonist is not a lone knight, but a group of knights.

He continued reading the newspaper. Below the news about the abandoned factory murder case was a piece of news about the activities of Shanghai Mayor Fu Quan'an. A familiar name caught his attention.

Chai Ruhai! Isn't this his classmate? How did he become the secretary of Mayor Fu Quan'an?

However, Yuan Ye thought about it and understood. When Fu Quan'an was the president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, Chai Ruhai's father Chai Yuchun was the secretary-general of the chamber of commerce, and the two families had a good relationship.

So it is not surprising that Chai Ruhai is Fu Quan'an's secretary.

Fu Quan'an is a well-known figure in Shanghai and is the current mayor of the pseudo-Shanghai city.

He was born in 1872 in Zhenhai, Zhejiang Province. At the age of 15, he went to work in a British shipyard in Shanghai. Because he was proficient in English and could flatter foreign capitalists everywhere, he was highly appreciated. In just three years, he was promoted to foreman, in charge of workers' wages and other matters.

He was a greedy guy who saved a lot of money by deducting the hard-earned income of workers, bought real estate in Pudong, and rented it out for profit. Later, he met Yan Zhijun, the son of Yan Xiaofang, who owned a large amount of real estate in Pudong, and took charge of the real estate leasing business on behalf of the Yan family.

After that, Fu Quan'an took advantage of his connections with foreigners and wealthy businessmen in Shanghai to make money everywhere and eventually became a disciple of Sheng Xuanren, who was a prominent figure in the late Qing Dynasty.

Thanks to Sheng Xuanren's support and assistance, Fu Quan'an was promoted to assistant in the Sheng family's general accounting office.

Fu Quan'an was diligent in his duties and managed the Sheng family's property in an orderly manner. He was capable and courageous, and was appreciated by Sheng Xuanren, becoming Sheng Xuanren's top confidant who was in charge of Sheng Xuanren's private property internally and responsible for external negotiations and contacts.

Fu Quan'an also served as the chief comprador of Changli Foreign Company and Meixing Foreign Company. With the triple identities of bureaucrat, comprador and business owner, Fu Quan'an accumulated assets of more than 10 million yuan and owned large amounts of real estate in his hometown of Zhenhai, Zhejiang Province and in Shanghai.

During the Beiyang Warlord period, Fu Quan'an began his official career as a senior adviser to the State Council of the Beiyang Warlord government, special commissioner of the Ministry of Finance in Shanghai, supervisor of the Bank of China, supervisor of the Shanghai Mint and the National Tobacco and Alcohol Monopoly Bureau.

In the 25th year of the Republic of China, the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce was re-elected. With the support of the Beiyang warlord Sun Chuanfang, Fu Quan'an was elected as the sixth president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, realizing his long-cherished wish. Fu Quan'an's political capital was the so-called "three businesses in one": the Chamber of Commerce, the Commercial Daily, and the Commercial Bank."

Chiang Kai-shek had an old grudge against Fu Quan'an, so when he received the accusation that Fu Quan'an supported Sun Chuanfang, he immediately took advantage of the situation and believed that Fu Quan'an, the president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, was loyal to the Beiyang warlords and should be wanted and his property confiscated.

When Fu Quan'an learned about this, he secretly asked the Japanese embassy for help, and the embassy sent an armed guard to escort him onto a foreign ship and flee to Dalian. While in Dalian, he was directly protected and supported by the Japanese invaders and became a well-known pro-Japanese figure.

After the August 13 Incident, Shanghai fell. General Matsumoto Iwane, the commander of the Japanese Central China Front Army, had been looking for a prestigious person to be the mayor of the pseudo-Shanghai city. He immediately took a fancy to Fu Quan'an, and they hit it off immediately. This was what Fu Quan'an wanted. Matsui asked the pseudo-Republic of China Restoration Government to appoint Fu Quan'an as the pseudo-Shanghai mayor.

Fu Quan'an betrayed his country and surrendered to the enemy. He took office in October 1938 and demoted Su Xiwu to the secretary-general of the pseudo-Shanghai Municipal Government.

The demoted former mayor, Su Xiwu, was the president of Chizhi University where he studied, and Su Xiwu had also taught them classes.

Su Xiwu was also an out-and-out traitor. He graduated from Waseda University in Japan and had served as the Director of the Finance Bureau of Fujian Province, the Director of Finance and the Director of Civil Affairs of the Guangdong Marshal's Office.

Later, he served as a professor at Shanghai Zhizhi University for a long time and became the president. In 1936, he went to North China and participated in the "autonomy" movement in North China launched by the Japanese.

After the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, Su Xiwu planned a puppet government in Shanghai under the manipulation of the Japanese and served as the mayor of the pseudo-Shanghai at the end of the 26th year of the Republic of China.

However, the good times did not last long, as Fu Quan'an set his sights on the mayor's seat. Fu Quan'an won the trust of the Japanese, who thought Su Xiwu was insignificant and lacked appeal. In addition, Fu Quan'an was good at maneuvering and spending a lot of money. After several rounds of competition, he finally pushed Su Xiwu out and became the mayor.

Although Su Xiwu was unwilling, he had no choice but to become the secretary-general of the municipal government and became Fu Quan'an's subordinate.
