Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Tokugawa Mitsuko continued:

"My cousin also asked me to take you to see him when I have time. He wants you to teach him how to play chess and write some calligraphy for him.

I told him that we would come in the evening, and he was very happy and said he would wait for us here in the evening. "

"Okay, we were supposed to meet him tonight. Now let's go meet Mayor Su and tell him the news. He's in a state of panic right now."

Yuan Ye smiled.

……

Villa No. 5 reception room.

The private conversation between the fake Wang Jingwei and Huang Yiguang lasted more than ten minutes in total.

Huang Yi Guang already knew that this was a trap and would not be fooled. He remained silent and watched the fake Wang Jingwei's performance with great respect.

After the fake Wang Jingwei finished his pretentious speech, he left the reception room. Huang Yiguang knew that he must be going to report to Wang Jingwei. He wondered if Wang Jingwei would meet him in person after listening to the report?

Wang Jingwei asked about the meeting with the stand-in, how Huang Yiguang performed, and whether he realized that he was not the real person?

The stand-in reported that Huang Yiguang behaved normally and was extremely respectful. Judging from his expression and behavior, he should not have noticed.

Wang Jingwei nodded. He felt that he could meet Huang Yiguang in person.

He asked Secretary Wang to call Huang Yiguang to his office.

Huang Yi Guang followed Secretary Wang to Wang Jingwei's office. He saw that in addition to Li Qunshi, there was also a burly man standing behind Wang Jingwei in the office.

He guessed that this person must be Wang Jingwei's personal bodyguard.

When Wang Jingwei saw him come in, he immediately got up from his seat, came forward, shook his hand, and said with a smile:

"Brother Yiguang, I haven't seen you for almost two years. I finally get to see you today."

Huang Yiguang pretended to be surprised and said:

"Mr. Wang, why do you say that? Didn't you see me just now? We also met once before at No. 76. Don't you remember?"

When he saw Wang Jingwei coming over, the guards behind him immediately followed him, stood behind him, and looked at him vigilantly.

When Huang Yi Guang saw this situation, he knew that he had no chance to take action.

He had originally imagined that if Wang Jingwei came up to shake hands with someone, he might be able to take this opportunity to pounce on him and break Wang Jingwei's neck.

But with this tall guard standing next to him, it was obviously impossible.

He thought to himself that it seemed that Yuan Shikai's prediction was correct. Wang Jingwei was very cautious and did not give him any chance to attack.

Wang Jingwei looked at Huang Yiguang's surprised expression and thought, it seems he really didn't see it.

So he laughed and said:

“The person who just met you was not me, and the person I met at No. 76 before was not me either.

That's a new stand-in I found. I wanted to try out the effect and see if it can really be mistaken for the real thing.

It seems the effect is quite good, even you didn’t notice it.”

"So that's how it is. To be honest, I really didn't realize it. Maybe I've been away from you for too long.

I didn’t even think about it.”

Huang Yi Guang looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

The two then sat down face to face on the sofa, and the guard still stood behind Wang Jingwei, not leaving his side.

Wang Jingwei asked about Huang Yiguang's situation over the past year.

Huang Yi Guang did not hide anything and told his true experience. He knew that it was useless to hide it as Wang Jingwei would know it sooner or later, and perhaps he already knew it.

The two chatted for a while, and finally Wang Jingwei said:

“You are a talent and I admire you very much, which is why I wrote to ask you to come back.

Although there have been some twists and turns, I still trust you. I have made some arrangements for you, but I still want to hear your opinion first?"

Huang Yi Guang thought to himself, if you really trust me, you wouldn't set so many traps for me. It sounds better than singing.

Fortunately, he had been tested, and although he could not be trusted, at least he did not have much suspicion. He wanted to arrange his own work, which also proved this point.

I just don’t know what job he is going to assign me?

Huang Yiguang said sincerely:

"As long as I can follow you and serve you, I will do anything you ask me to do."

Wang Jingwei was very satisfied with his attitude and nodded:

“I have discussed this with General Yingzuo, and we are going to set up a tax police corps based on the tax police school of the Ministry of Finance. Zhou Fuhai will be in charge of it, with about 3000 people, responsible for anti-smuggling and tax collection.

It has two regiments under its jurisdiction, one in Nanjing and the other in Shanghai. I plan to let you be the head of the second regiment and be in charge of the work in Shanghai. What do you think?"

In fact, the reason why Wang Jingwei wanted to set up a tax police corps, under the name of anti-smuggling and taxation, was actually to gain control of an armed force that he could personally control.

The reason why he chose Huang Yiguang as the head of the Second Regiment was, firstly, that he had a martial spirit, and secondly, that he highly valued him.

Now that Huang Yiguang has been proven to have no problems, they will naturally give him more positions, otherwise they would not have written to him asking him to return to Shanghai.

If I entrust him with an important task, he will definitely be grateful and follow me wholeheartedly.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Wang. I will definitely live up to your expectations and work hard until my death."

Huang Yi Guang looked so grateful that he burst into tears.

He knew that this was a very important position, so he decided to follow Yuan Shikai's advice, accept the position, and then work his way up slowly.

"Okay, take my warrant and report to Dean Zhou in a moment, and follow his instructions."

After Wang Jingwei finished speaking, he immediately wrote a warrant and handed it to Huang Yiguang. Huang Yiguang took the warrant, saluted, then turned and left the office.

Li Qunshi, who was sitting nearby, thought to himself that it was a good thing that he did not offend Huang Yiguang.

He certainly knew Wang Jingwei's intention to establish the Tax Police Corps.

After the establishment of this Tax Police Corps, it will definitely be his direct military force, and it will definitely be well-funded and well-equipped.

Huang Yi Guang has thousands of men under his command and is stationed in Shanghai. He is bound to become an influential figure and his strength should not be underestimated.

Even his own Shanghai Special Agent Headquarters had to give him some respect.

He also knew that the Second Tax Police Regiment and his own secret service headquarters were Wang Jingwei's right-hand men in Shanghai.

He then left Wang Jingwei's office and found Yan Ping, who was conducting an investigation in Villa No. 5, to learn about the progress of the investigation.

After listening to Yan Ping's report, Li Qunshi couldn't help but frown. Yan Ping had completed the preliminary interview and questioning work, of course, mainly to understand whether these people had gone out at the time and whether they had made any phone calls.

However, none of the parties involved had any of the above circumstances. Yan Ping also asked other people, who also confirmed that they did not go out at the time and did not make any phone calls.

So far, no suspicion has been found about these people and the investigation has lost its direction for the time being.

Like Yan Ping, Li Qunshi began to doubt whether there was really a traitor around Wang Jingwei.

But if there was no traitor, how did the news get out?

Li Qunshi had no choice but to ask Yan Ping to sort it out carefully again to see if there would be any unexpected discoveries.

……

Yuan Ye brought Tokugawa Mitsuko to the city government. When the two walked into Su Xiwu's office, as Yuan Ye expected, Su Xiwu was like an ant on hot pan.

Just after Yuan Ye left his office that morning, Su Xiwu became worried and asked for help from his connections to make phone calls to find out about Wang Jingwei's situation and whether the position of mayor had been decided.

Finally, a friend he asked found out from people around Wang Jingwei that Wang Jingwei had already appointed Chen Gongbo as the mayor of Shanghai, and the announcement would be made tomorrow.

This was a bolt from the blue for him. It was obvious that Wang Jingwei did not buy into Iwai Yuichi and his account, and did not fulfill the promise he had made before.

Su Xiwu stayed in the office the whole afternoon, waiting for news from Yuan Shikai. He felt very nervous and confused. The mixed feelings of disappointment and hope made him unable to concentrate on work.

However, he also discovered that after noon, no one came to his office to report on work.

He knew in his heart that the people in the city government must have also received the news that the future mayor would be Chen Gongbo, and he was about to be fired.

Now he can only place his hope on Yuan Shikai, hoping there is still a chance to make amends.

But how big is this chance?

In fact, Su Xiwu was right. At noon, someone in the municipal government knew the news, and it quickly spread.

Chai Ruhai also found out about it at noon. Director Wu from the Finance and Taxation Department came to his office and told him. At that time, Director Wu was extremely excited and looked like he was gloating.

He pointed to the next door and said:

"This guy will be gone tomorrow. We finally don't have to be afraid of him anymore."

"Yes, I have finally waited for this day."

Chai Ruhai could only pretend to be happy, but he was actually extremely anxious.

He has no confidence now. Can Shi Kai really turn the tide? Is it too late?

In fact, when Yuan Ye stepped into the city government, he heard discussions coming from various departments.

The topic of discussion was that the new mayor had already been decided, and that Wang Jingwei's confidant, Chen Gongbo, the president of the Legislative Yuan, would concurrently serve as the mayor of Shanghai.

People no longer have the heart to go to work. Some are happy, some are regretful, some are gloating, and some are dejected. This is naturally determined by personal stance and interests.

When Su Xiwu saw Yuan Ye and Tokugawa Mitsuko, it was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

He lost his usual composure and quickly asked the two to sit down. Then he sat opposite her, staring at Tokugawa Mitsuko, waiting for her to speak, just like a criminal waiting for the judge's judgment.

Tokugawa Mitsuko smiled and said:

"Mayor Su, let Shi Kai tell you."

Yuan Ye knew Su Xiwu's mood, nodded and said:

"Teacher, I want to congratulate you. Tomorrow you will no longer be the acting mayor, but the real mayor."

"What? I'm the real mayor?"

Su Xiwu couldn't believe his ears. In fact, he was waiting for this news, but when the news really came, he felt it was a little unreal.

When he heard that Wang Jingwei had decided to let Chen Gongbo serve concurrently as mayor, he felt that he was about to be sent to hell. Now, he suddenly jumped into heaven, as if he had just dreamed!

“How could I lie to you? You heard it right. You will be the mayor tomorrow.

Thanks to Guangzi, after I told her about it, she immediately went to see her cousin General Yingzo in the afternoon and asked General Yingzo to call Mr. Wang immediately.

Mr. Wang answered the phone and said that it had been decided that President Chen Gongbo would concurrently serve as the mayor of Shanghai, and it would be announced tomorrow. Since General Yingzo called, they would naturally respect his opinion and change the candidate. You will be announced as the mayor of Shanghai tomorrow.

This call was made at a very timely moment. If it was delayed until tomorrow, when Mr. Wang publicly announced that President Chen would concurrently serve as mayor, it would be too late.

General Yingzuo also said that Guangzi arrived on time. If he had arrived a day later, it would have been inconvenient for him to make this call. "

Despite decades of career in officialdom, Su Xiwu could not suppress his inner excitement.

"Thank you so much, Miss Mitsuko. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be the mayor. Of course, I also have to thank General Kagesawa. I will go to meet him tonight."

He thought to himself that, in fact, the person he should be most grateful for in this matter was his student. If it weren't for his relationship with Miss Guangzi, nothing would be possible.

And thanks to his decisiveness, after telling him about it, he immediately asked Miss Guangzi to go find his cousin.

It was his dedication that turned the situation around.

It has to be said that this student is his lucky star. He always helps him out of trouble and turns the tide at the critical moment.

Tokugawa Mitsuko smiled.

"Mayor Su, you are too polite. You are Shi Kai's teacher, and you have taken good care of Shi Kai. Shi Kai told me, so of course I have to help.

It’s just a small favor, nothing to mention!

My cousin asked me to bring Shi Kai to see him tonight, Mayor Su, you should go with us."

"Ms. Guangzi, I will treat you and Shi Kai to dinner tonight, and then we will go see General Yingzuo after dinner."

Su Xiwu looked at his watch and saw that there was still an hour before the end of get off work.

"Wait for me here. I'm going home first."

Yuan Ye knew that he was going home to get something, and that he would meet General Yingzuo in the evening to thank him in person, so he couldn't go empty-handed, so naturally he had to give him a large sum of money.

Yuan Ye said:

"Teacher, please go and do your work. I will take Guangzi to the secretarial department to meet some old colleagues."

The two came to the secretariat, and colleagues were very enthusiastic when they saw Tokugawa Mitsuko. Now that they knew her true identity, the eldest daughter of the Tokugawa family, their enthusiasm was naturally not as good as before, whether it was real or false.

While Tokugawa Mitsuko was talking to her colleagues, Yuan Ye pushed open the door of Chai Ruhai's office and walked in.

Chai Ruhai was on the phone. When he saw Yuan Ye coming in, he said to the phone:

"Okay, I won't talk to you any more. I have something else to do."

Then he hung up the phone in a hurry, walked to sit next to Yuan Ye, and said helplessly:

"I received several calls this afternoon, all from Fu Quan'an, saying that Mayor Su was leaving. The call just now was from Yu Dehai, who was also gloating over other people's misfortune.

They thought I was celebrating like them and wished Mayor Su would leave. It was so annoying.

Shi Kai, is Mayor Su really going to leave?"

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"Not only will our teacher not leave, but he will be promoted to a full-time position and become a real mayor tomorrow."

"Really? That's great!"

Chai Ruhai was ecstatic. He believed that Yuan Ye would not lie to him. It must be him who asked Miss Guangzi to find Yingzuo Zhenzhao, which changed the situation.

It seems that it is too early for those people of Fu Quan'an to be happy. They will soon face the fate of being purged, while he can stay out of it and be promoted to the director of the Personnel Department. Of course, all this is thanks to his old classmate.

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

“Don’t get carried away yet. You still need to keep in close contact with those people from Fu Quan’an and pay attention to their movements.

After our teacher is announced as the mayor tomorrow, a major purge will be carried out soon. These people are likely to become desperate and unite to take adverse actions against the teacher, and may even take risks.

If you find any situation, tell me immediately. I will find a way to deal with it and will never let them succeed.

I estimate that when Mayor Su officially takes office tomorrow, he will let me take over the Security Department and the Guard Brigade immediately to escort his personnel purge, and I will spend more time in the city government."
