After opening their hearts to each other, the relationship seemed to have taken a step further. That night, the two of them were inseparable and in harmony in bed. They had never felt so good before, and they fell asleep in each other's arms until they were exhausted.

……

At noon, after Yuan Ye finished his meal at No. 76 and left, Li Qunshi drove to Villa No. 5.

He met Wang Jingwei in Wang Jingwei's office.

Wang Jingwei just returned to Shanghai last night. He went to Peiping with great expectations, but unexpectedly, although the conditions he offered were very generous, Wu Peifu did not buy into his offer and was completely unmoved and his attitude was very firm.

Although he tried his best to persuade with reason and emotion, it was of no avail and he had to leave in disappointment.

Afterwards, he analyzed the reasons and thought that it was closely related to the assassination of Wang Yitang, the second-in-command of the Chinese Political Council, by the Military Control Commission the day before.

This incident should have had a great impact on Wu Peifu, as he had a good relationship with Wang Yitang. Obviously, the assassination attempt by the Military Control Commission was very targeted and was a warning to Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu was indeed frightened, so he was unwilling to come out.

What surprised him even more was that the assassin who killed Wang Yitang was actually the nephew of Qi Zhiyuan, who held great military and police power in North China. Who could have thought that Qi Zhiyuan's nephew would actually be a member of the Military Control Commission? It shows that the Military Control Commission was omnipresent, which was probably the reason why Wu Peifu was afraid.

In fact, he himself was also afraid. The Military Control Commission had carried out several assassination attempts on him. Although he escaped, he was still frightened and did not dare to be careless.

The Military Control Commission's assassination of Wang Yitang also shows that they knew about his trip to Peiping in advance and knew that the purpose of his trip was to persuade Wu Peifu.

This trip was kept secret. Apart from the Japanese, only a few people around him knew about it. How did the Military Control Commission know about it? He shuddered at the thought. Was it leaked by someone around him?

He thought of the poisoned cake incident again. Maybe someone around him leaked the news of his ordering the cake, otherwise how could the Military Control Commission know it so clearly?

He felt that these two leaks must be investigated, otherwise he would not be able to sleep or eat, so as soon as he returned to Shanghai, he asked Li Qunshi to see him the next day.

When Li Qunshi saw Wang Jingwei's gloomy face, he felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why Wang Jingwei wanted to see him.

But he guessed that Wang Jingwei left Shanghai this time because he encountered something unpleasant, although he didn't know where Wang Jingwei went.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, not daring to speak, waiting for Wang Jingwei to speak.

Wang Jingwei invited him to sit down and started talking about what happened during his trip to Peiping. He suspected that someone around him had leaked his itinerary to the Military Control Commission, which led to his failure.

And in the case of the poisoned cake, it may be that this person also revealed his order of cake to the Military Control Commission. Finally, he asked:

"Director Li, you are a very professional person. Do you think my analysis is correct?"

"Your analysis is correct. There must be a connection between these two things. Moreover, only people around you know about these two things. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. Your suspicion is reasonable. I think so too.

Of course there is another possibility that it was leaked by the Japanese, but this possibility is very small.”

Li Qunshi felt that everyone would think this way, otherwise it would be impossible to explain. He also immediately understood why Wang Jingwei called him here. It must be to let him find out the traitor.

This is a very tricky task. The people around Wang Jingwei are all his confidants. Without evidence, they cannot be beaten or scolded. It is quite difficult to investigate thoroughly.

Sure enough, Wang Jingwei said:

"Since you think so, it will be easy. You can investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it."

"Ok."

Although Li Qunshi was troubled, he had to agree.

"Can you give me a list of names?"

"can."

Wang Jingwei immediately took a piece of paper, quickly wrote down a series of names on it, and then handed it to Li Qunshi.

Li Qunshi took it and took a look. There were eight or nine names on the list, including his two secretaries, guards, and people in charge of his daily life and logistics, all of whom were people around him.

Wang Jingwei thought for a moment and then said:

"Secretary and Chief of the Guards, I don't think the problem is serious. The focus should be on investigating the remaining few people."

"Ok."

Li Qunshi felt more at ease when he saw that the scope of the investigation had been narrowed down a lot.

"I have one more thing to report to you."

"what's up?"

"It's about Huang Yiguang. I checked him out as you instructed, and now it seems there should be no problem."

Then he told the story of the investigation. When he mentioned that he had found a substitute who looked like Wang Jingwei to meet Huang Yiguang alone, Wang Jingwei was obviously very interested. He smiled and said:

"Your idea is very good, and it's very well done. Bring this substitute to me one day to have a look. If you think it's good, I'll keep it. Maybe it can help me solve a lot of problems."

Li Qunshi certainly knew what Wang Jingwei meant. With this substitute, Wang Jingwei could be real or fake. In some occasions where he didn't want to show up, he could let the substitute take his place. This way he would be safer.

"It is my duty to share the leader's worries. I can bring him to see you anytime if it is convenient for you."

Li Qunshi was praised by Wang Jingwei and felt very happy.

"That Huang Yiguang is anxious to see you. He is already impatient to stay at my place. Do you want to see him?"

"Is he so anxious to see me?"

Wang Jingwei said suspiciously.

Huang Yi Guang was so anxious to see him that he felt a little uneasy.

What he saw and heard during this trip to Peiping has made him more cautious now.

"Yes, he mentioned it to me many times. Do you think it's a problem?"

Li Qunshi knew that Wang Jingwei was suspicious and had such an expression on his face. He wondered, is he still not at ease?

"How about this, you bring him to see me tomorrow afternoon, and I'm going to inspect him in person."

Wang Jingwei already had an idea in his mind. Although he admired Huang Yi Guang very much and he had passed Li Qunshi's assessment, it was still necessary to personally assess him once before he could be truly assured.

"How do you want to examine him?"

Li Qunshi asked curiously.

It seems that Wang Jingwei is really worried about Huang Yiguang.

"I haven't had time to think about it yet. Director Li, do you have any good ideas?"

"I have a way to keep you safe while testing him successfully."

Li Qunshi felt that this was his chance to show off and he couldn't miss it.

"Really? Tell me about it."

Wang Jingwei said with interest.
