This person is of course Wu Sibao. Li Qunshi knew that this guy had done a lot of kidnapping when he was in the Green Gang before he joined No. 76.

It was only after he became No. 76 that he became a little more restrained, also because Li Qunshi had put some restrictions on him.

After all, the secret service headquarters had just been established not long ago, and they were afraid that he would go too far and have a negative impact on the reputation of No. 76.

Wang Jingwei, Nanyun Masako and Colonel Shirakawa all thought that Li Qunshi's suggestion to disguise the incident as a kidnapping case was a good one and they all agreed.

Li Qunshi remembered the purpose of this trip and said:

"Chairman Wang, I have one more thing I want to ask you. Do we still want to proceed with the thing you mentioned last time?

The Military Control Commission retaliated and killed several people from our newspaper yesterday. You should know this too."

Wang Jingwei certainly knew this. He read today's newspapers and found that those newspapers in the concession that opposed him did not surrender just because a few people died. Instead, their attacks on him became more intense.

On the contrary, after several newspapers that supported him were retaliated against by the Military Control Commission, they felt frightened and wrote a joint letter to him, begging him to stop assassinating each other.

Wang Jingwei was somewhat hesitant and asked:

"Director Li, do you think we should stop or continue?"

Li Qunshi felt that the time had come to show off, and he said passionately:

"The Military Control Commission members are too rampant. If we stop, they will think we are afraid.

And the newspapers that attack you will slander you even more arrogantly.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

I think the crackdown on these reactionary newspapers should continue until they are frightened and stop attacking you.”

After hearing what Li Qunshi said, Wang Jingwei felt that it made sense and he admired the attitude he showed.

"You're right. We'll do as you say. But in order to prevent retaliation from the Military Control Commission, you must also send people to protect our newspaper."

"Okay, I'll start implementing this matter after I finish dealing with the Huamei Bakery."

Li Qunshi was naturally very happy to receive Wang Jingwei's praise. He left Villa No. 76 with Wu Sibao, who was waiting downstairs, and returned to his office at No. .

He asked Wu Sibao to close the door, and then said to Wu Sibao:

"Do you know what happened to those bodies of military policemen we saw?"

"what is going on?"

Wu Sibao asked curiously, in fact he had wanted to ask this for a long time.

"Villa No. 5 ordered a cake for Chairman Wang from Huamei Cake Shop. Chairman Wang did not eat it, but gave it to the military police soldiers who were protecting him. It turned out that the cake was poisoned, and all the soldiers who ate the cake died."

"So that's what happened."

Wu Sibao was surprised.

I thought to myself, Chairman Wang is really lucky. He escaped a disaster yesterday and escaped another one today. It seems that being a big shot is not that easy.

"Was it the Military Control Commission who did it?"

Wu Sibao asked.

"Of course, who else could it be other than the Military Control Commission? The Red Party doesn't like to do this kind of thing."

Li Qunshi had been in the Red Party in his early years and knew the party's rules. He generally would not do things like assassinations, but of course it was hard to say whether he was a traitor.

"Chairman Wang gave me a task, asking me to arrest the owner and clerk of Huamei Bakery for interrogation. The owner is a Frenchman named Higgins.

In order to avoid international disputes, Chairman Wang and the Japanese meant that no matter what the results of the interrogation were, the person would be dealt with secretly after the interrogation.

I'm going to let you do this. My idea is to disguise it as a kidnapping case. Everything must be done in secret. After the person is captured, he cannot be locked up in Room 76. There are too many people in Room 76 and it's easy for the case to be leaked.

You find a secluded place to detain him, interrogate him, get the results, kill him after getting the ransom, and then bury him in the wilderness."

"Director, don't worry, I'm good at this. This Frenchman should be a fat sheep. The ransom should be higher. Those shop assistants don't have much money."

Wu Sibao said happily.

"Yeah, I think so too. Forget about those shop assistants. They don't make any money and they are troublesome.

What do you think is a reasonable ransom for the Frenchman?"

Li Qunshi asked.

He knew that Wu Shibao was an expert and was very familiar with the market, and in this respect he could not compare with Wu Shibao.

"That would cost at least fifty gold bars. His bakery is well-known in Shanghai and has been in business for many years. Business is booming. He should be able to come up with this amount of money."

Wu Sibao opened his mouth and spoke.

Li Qunshi didn't expect Wu Sibao to ask for fifty gold bars, which was more than he expected. However, what he said made sense, so he decided to give this Frenchman a good beating.

He nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll do as you say, but I want to remind you to find reliable people to do it, and keep your mouth shut. If anyone wants to ruin my business, I'll shoot him.

If the work is done, I will reward you handsomely. "

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Wu Sibao grinned.

……

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Yuan Ye left Wujia Lane. He was thinking, the poisoned cake was delivered to Villa No. 5 at around nine o'clock in the morning. By now, if Wang Jingwei had eaten it, the poison should have taken effect long ago. He wondered if he was dead.

He decided to go to the city government to see. If there was a result, the people in the city government were well-informed and the news should have spread by now.

He took off his makeup in the car and soon arrived at the city government. As soon as he entered the city government compound, he heard people talking about what happened in Villa No. 5.

Yuan Ye couldn't help feeling a little disappointed that Wang Jingwei didn't die, but he could console himself by the fact that he had poisoned ten Japanese devils to death, which was also a gain.

He arrived at the secretariat's office. Chai Ruhai was not there, and he did not see Tokugawa Mitsuko. Only Cui Jian and a few others were there. Su Xiwu was not in the office next door either.

Cui Jian said that He Li packed up some things in the morning and went back to the Special High Section. Section Chief Chai led them to hold a simple farewell ceremony and planned to treat her to lunch at noon. He Li saw that Yuan Ye was not there and couldn't find anyone after calling him, so she said to find another time.

Cui Jian and others also knew He Li's true identity. It was Chai Ruhai who told them. After all, they were colleagues, and Chai Ruhai did not intend to hide it from them. They would know it sooner or later.

These people were all shocked at the time. They didn't expect that He Li was actually Japanese, and the eldest daughter of Japan's top aristocratic family. Of course, they couldn't understand why someone with such an identity would condescend to become a spy of the Special High Section.

He was with the Special High Police agents every day, but fortunately he never said anything in front of her that the Japanese didn't like to hear.

What they found even more incredible was that the eldest daughter of this wealthy Japanese family actually fell in love with Yuan Shikai, a Chinese man of ordinary family background.

This made them extremely envious. They also knew that Yuan Shikai was indeed exceptional. Not only was he extremely talented, he was also deeply appreciated by Mayor Su and Japanese Consul General Iwai Yuichi, and they could not compare to him.

So when he saw Yuan Ye, he was more enthusiastic than usual. Yuan Ye also noticed it, and of course he knew why.

Yuan Ye chatted with them and further confirmed what happened in Villa No. 5.

After Su Xiwu learned the news, he took Chai Ruhai to Villa No. 5 to visit Wang Jingwei in the afternoon.
