"Don't you want to see your substitute? I'll bring him over in a moment and show him to you.

I plan to do the same thing and let him meet Huang Yiguang alone in Villa No. 5 on your behalf to create an opportunity for him to take action. If he really has ulterior motives, I believe he will not let go of this opportunity.

If nothing happens, it means he is sincere in coming to you, and then you can decide whether to come out to meet him."

Wang Jingwei's eyes lit up and he immediately said:

"Okay, this is a good idea. Go back now and bring the substitute to see me."

Li Qunshi saw that his method was recognized by Wang Jingwei, so he left Villa No. 5 happily.

In less than an hour, he came back with Wang Jingwei's substitute and called Yan Ping over as well.

The reason why Yan Ping was called here was, of course, to investigate the possibility that there might be a traitor around Wang Jingwei.

He explained the situation to Yan Ping, gave Yan Ping the investigation list, and then took a substitute to meet Wang Jingwei.

When Wang Jingwei saw his stand-in, he found that he really looked like him. He talked to him for a few sentences and found that his accent was similar. He spoke Guiliu dialect quite standardly.

Although Wang Jingwei was a Cantonese, he spoke fluent Guiliu dialect. This was because from the Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, the officialdom in Guangdong and Guangxi used the Southwestern Mandarin based on the Guilin dialect. Especially for Cantonese people who were taking the imperial examinations or pursuing a career in officialdom, learning this Mandarin was a necessary tool for socializing and promotion.

As a highly educated intellectual, Wang Jingwei was naturally no exception.

Li Qunshi certainly knew this, so he specially invited a teacher who could speak Guiliu dialect to train the stand-in. The stand-in quickly mastered Guiliu dialect and spoke it quite fluently.

Wang Jingwei was obviously very satisfied. This stand-in was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. People who were not very familiar with him would not be able to tell the difference. It seemed that Li Qunshi had put in a lot of effort. For this, he praised Li Qunshi. Li Qunshi was very pleased to be praised.

He asked Wang Jingwei for a warrant, gave it to Yan Ping, and asked him to start the investigation.

Yan Ping also knew that this was not an easy task and he could only do it reluctantly. He did not have any good solution. Without evidence, he could not arrest them and torture them. After all, these people were Wang Jingwei's most trusted people and he could not offend them easily.

They could only take Wang Jingwei's warrant and prepare to interview these key people one by one in the next few days to understand their movements at the time, and then find other people to verify to see if they can find any suspicious points.

Li Qunshi left Wang Jingwei's substitute in Villa No. 5. Seeing Yan Ping looking for someone to talk to with Wang Jingwei's warrant, he did not disturb him. He returned to No. 76 first, saw Huang Yiguang, and told him that Mr. Wang would meet him in Villa No. tomorrow afternoon.

Huang Yi Guang was very happy, thinking that hard work pays off and he finally got the chance. Tomorrow he can kill the traitor Wang Jingwei in one fell swoop!

……

The next morning, Yuan Ye, who was sleeping in the arms of Tokugawa Mitsuko, was awakened by the phone on the bedside table.

Yuan Ye looked at his watch. It was already eight o'clock. He stretched and picked up the phone. It was Su Xiwu who called and asked him to meet him in the office in the morning.

Yuan Ye didn't know what was going on, and Su Xiwu didn't say anything on the phone, but he had never called him so early before, so Yuan Ye guessed that this matter must be very important.

He hung up the phone and got out of bed immediately. Tokugawa Mitsuko also got up. After they washed up, they left the apartment.

After breakfast, Yuan Ye first sent Tokugawa Mitsuko to the Special Higher Police. The two kissed goodbye. When Tokugawa Mitsuko got off the car, Yuan Ye was worried and gave her a few more instructions, asking her to behave as usual and not to act rashly. Tokugawa Mitsuko smiled and agreed.

Yuan Ye watched her walk into the gate of the Special High Section, and then drove to the city government.

When he arrived at the municipal government, he did not go to see Su Xiwu first, but walked into the secretariat, greeted a few colleagues, and then pushed the door and walked into Chai Ruhai's office.

The reason he did this was that he wanted to understand the situation from Chai Ruhai first. He hadn't been here for a few days, so he wanted to see if there was anything new.

Chai Ruhai is his eyes and ears. If there is any situation, he can find out everything clearly from Chai Ruhai.

As soon as he walked into the office, Chai Ruhai immediately stood up, closed the office door tightly, and then pulled Yuan Ye to sit on the chair.

Yuan Ye saw Chai Ruhai's mysterious look and smiled:

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Chai Ruhai said anxiously:

"You're finally here. I was just about to call you. I heard something yesterday afternoon. The situation was not good. It was about Mayor Su."

"what's the situation?"

Yuan Ye had a hunch that it might be related to Su Xiwu's promotion to mayor.

As expected, Chai Ruhai said:

"Yesterday afternoon, Director Wu from the Finance and Taxation Department came to my office to chat with me and said that Mayor Su's plan to become a permanent mayor was in jeopardy.

He was in a very happy mood at that time, and I knew why he was happy. He was Mayor Fu's man, and he certainly didn't want Mayor Su to become a regular employee. It would not benefit him at all.

Before, he had always been worried that Mayor Su would remove his position as director of the Finance and Taxation Department after he was promoted to the position, a position that was both powerful and lucrative.

I was very surprised at the time, and could only pretend to be very happy and ask him what was going on.

He whispered to me that he had learned from people around Mr. Wang that there was someone who also had his eyes on the position of Shanghai mayor. That person was Mr. Wang's confidant, Chen Gongbo. He was currently the president of the Legislative Yuan, but he was also interested in the position of Shanghai mayor. He proposed to Mr. Wang that he wanted to concurrently serve as the mayor of Shanghai. Mr. Wang was still considering it. But according to people around Mr. Wang, it was very likely that Mr. Wang would agree.

Shi Kai, if this is true, and Chen Gongbo becomes the mayor, then Mayor Su’s previous promise that you will be the director of the Political Security Department and I will be the director of the Personnel Department will probably go down the drain.”

After Chai Ruhai finished speaking, he sighed deeply. He was worried about his future.

Yuan Ye thought, so this is what happened. No wonder Su Xiwu called him early in the morning. He must have heard the news and was worried, so he came to discuss the matter with him.

Rather than saying it was a discussion, it would be more accurate to say that Wang Jingwei took a fancy to his relationship with Tokugawa Mitsuko, and Tokugawa Mitsuko was Kagesa Tadaaki's cousin. He wanted them to ask Kagesa Tadaaki for help. As long as Kagesa Tadaaki agreed to help, there was no way Wang Jingwei would not give him this face.

However, for both public and private reasons, I still have to help, otherwise it will be detrimental to my future work.

Now that Tokugawa Mitsuko is his person, and Kagesa Tadaaki has a good impression of him, he may still be able to help, but it must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more trouble.
