Yuan Ye thought, could he do something about Zhu Xiang?

The assassination attempt on Fu Quan'an was unsuccessful this time. Fu Quan'an will be more careful in the future, and it will be more difficult to kill him. Zhu Xiang is so trusted by Fu Quan'an, and he is the only one who can get close to Fu Quan'an. If we can convince Zhu Xiang to kill Fu Quan'an, we will definitely succeed.

It is not easy to convince Zhu Xiang, as he seldom goes out. The only chance is when Zhu Xiang goes out to buy ingredients.

Yuan Ye thought that it was far from enough to convince Zhu Xiangguang of national justice. Not everyone had the same awareness as Wang Jianwu. He had to promise him a large sum of money. After all, there would always be brave men under a large reward. He also had to promise him that after the task was accomplished, he could be sent to the mountain city to relieve his worries.

Only by taking all three approaches can we succeed in convincing Zhu Xiang.

Considering that he was undercover in the municipal government, Yuan Ye thought it would be best not to contact Zhu Xiang in person. If he failed to convince Zhu Xiang, his identity might be exposed and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

He has no intention of ending his undercover work in the city government too early. He still has more things to do and can play a greater role. Besides, the smuggling business he is about to start also requires his current identity.

Who should do the job of persuading Zhu Xiang? After thinking about it, Yuan Ye had a candidate in mind.

This matter needs to be reported to Chu Yuntian. It involves a large amount of funds, which requires the organization's approval and resolution. Moreover, after the matter is completed, Zhu Xiang will be sent to Shancheng, which also requires the organization to make implementation arrangements.

When Yuan Ye and Chai Ruhai returned to the city hall, it was almost noon. The gate of the city hall had been cleaned and the ground had been washed with clean water. There was no trace of blood. This gave Yuan Ye the illusion that the fierce gun battle in the morning had never happened.

The guards were still on duty as usual. Although Yuan Ye knew that Wang Jianwu was no longer among them, he still subconsciously searched for Wang Jianwu among the guards.

Of course it was impossible to see Wang Jianwu. Yuan Ye had a feeling as if he was in another world. During these four days, whenever he passed by the city hall gate, he could see the young guard with a calm face and bright eyes. Unfortunately, he would never see him again. He even felt a little regretful that he didn't say a word to Wang Jianwu.

Wang Jianwu and his team disappeared in the long river of history, but they will be remembered forever by every conscientious Chinese. Yuan Ye's heart is full of respect. It is their reckless fighting and thousands of people like them that have added a touch of brightness to this dark era and brought hope to this troubled country.

A fierce gun battle took place outside the gate of the city government. Fu Quan'an was assassinated, a Japanese adviser was killed, and many people were killed and injured. The news had spread throughout the city government. People were panicked and talked about it. However, Yuan Ye did not take it seriously. This was all expected.

Yuan Ye felt that this was a good thing. It would deter those officials, both big and small, in the city government who were willing to be traitors. At least they would not dare to act as recklessly as before.

When he returned to the office, Yuan Ye saw a telegram on his desk. He knew it must be from his father Yuan Zhiqian. He quickly opened it and saw only a few short words on it:

"The whole family will arrive in Shanghai at 11:00 tomorrow afternoon."

Yuan Ye was delighted that his family was finally coming. He had thought that only his father would come, but unexpectedly his mother and sister were also coming. After not seeing him for more than a year, his family must have missed him very much and wanted to see him.

Yuan Ye thought, tomorrow is Sunday, a good time to rest, spend time with his family, and have a good talk with his father about business.

Yuan Ye was just thinking about it when he saw Cui Jian and several other colleagues coming over. They knew that Yuan Ye had personally witnessed a gunfight in front of the city hall, and curiosity drove them to want to know the specific details. Although they had heard some things from others before, they were never as real and detailed as what the eyewitnesses said.

Cui Jian asked:

"Secretary Yuan, what are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about what happened in front of the city hall gate? Can you tell us what happened?"

Yuan Ye didn't want to mention this matter. Talking about it reminded him of Wang Jianwu and his team, and he felt uncomfortable.

This Cui Jian is just a gossipmonger. He just wants to know the details from him, and then he can use it as a topic of conversation and brag to others with exaggeration, making himself seem more knowledgeable than others, just like when he said that Chen Lu was shot and killed by a sniper from the French mercenary group. It's so boring.

"What's there to say? The section chief and I almost lost our lives."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Ye's words aroused everyone's curiosity even more.

An Youmin asked:

"Is it so thrilling? What's going on?"

Even He Li, who usually doesn't participate in the conversation, said:

"Secretary Yuan, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us."

Yuan Ye was also speechless. What kind of people are these? They just want to satisfy their own curiosity and have no consideration for the feelings of the person involved at all?

Yuan Ye nodded helplessly. It seemed that he had no choice but to tell the story. Under everyone's expectant gaze, Yuan Ye recounted the whole incident in detail.

Everyone was obviously stunned by the severity of the incident, and it took them a while to come back to their senses. They began to discuss Fu Quan'an's iron vest and who had instructed the guard to shoot.

Yuan Ye just listened quietly without taking part in their discussion, looking indifferent. He thought that he was an undercover agent, so it was better for him to say less about such sensitive topics, as too much talk would lead to mistakes.

Besides, I have only been here for a short time and I don’t know these people well. Who knows if they are like me and have other identities?

For example, look at He Li, who graduated from the University of Tokyo in Japan, speaks fluent Japanese, is usually quiet and low-key. Can you guarantee that she is not a spy planted by the Japanese in the city government?

People like Cui Jian, An Youmin and Guo Quan all studied abroad in France, Britain and the United States respectively, so there is no guarantee that they will not be bribed and become intelligence agents for France, Britain and the United States.

Of course, this is just Yuan Ye's guess, and there is nothing to confirm it. He has been here for a short time and has been busy with assassinations. He has not paid any attention to their movements and has not put his mind on this.

Yuan Ye thought that when he had time, he would find a chance to find out more about their background and see if these people had other identities. Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. Otherwise, not knowing their true identities would always make people feel uneasy.

Yuan Ye heard that the focus of everyone's discussion finally fell on the mastermind behind the guards, and two speculations were formed. One was that it was done by the Shancheng side, and the other was that it was done by a political enemy. Although no one said who this political enemy was, everyone knew who it was referring to.
