Chapter 82: Zhou Weiguo’s View
In the capital Nanjing, Boss Dai was at a secret tea house outpost, flipping through various newspapers’ extensive reports on the news of Yoshiko Kawashima’s disappearance.
Boss Dai sipped tea while frowning, pondering how to report this matter to Chairman Chang,
while the station chief Li Changming of the Shanghai station stood uneasily in front of Boss Dai, head lowered, awaiting Boss Dai’s inquiry or punishment.
“Have you found out who did it?”
After a long while, Boss Dai finally asked.
“Not yet! Because these people left very quickly, and they didn’t stay in Shanghai, our investigation traced them all the way to the Hangzhou Bay side, then lost all their tracks!”
“Even to chase down this group of culprits who dared to abduct Yoshiko Kawashima in the middle of the night, we lost a team of over ten elite agents!”
“They were all taken away by the other side, now missing, unknown if alive or dead!”
“Just like Yoshiko Kawashima who was taken by them, her fate unknown!”
Station chief Li Changming timidly reported.
Because he feared Boss Dai would hold him accountable for his incompetence,
especially since such an unexpected incident occurred in his territory, Shanghai,
and this incident was being exploited by the Japanese Army’s military to escalate tensions and prepare to provoke war.
So his forehead was beaded with cold sweat,
his breathing rapid,
because Yoshiko Kawashima being abducted in Shanghai had developed into a headline news sensation,
a news story that couldn’t be suppressed at all,
so as the station chief of the Shanghai intelligence agency station,
station chief Li Changming felt deeply terrified and under immense pressure.
If things went wrong, not only would he be removed from office and investigated, but he might even lose his life.
“Are you all idiots?”
“Tell me, now in the jurisdiction of your Shanghai station, such a major incident has occurred, shocking all the major domestic news headlines, not only do all foreigners know about this event, even the other major cities already know about this shocking news!”
“Plus now those damned, wolf-ambitioned Japanese people are also fanning the flames, trying their utmost to blow this matter up, how am I supposed to report this to the leader?”
“Do you want me dead?”
Upon hearing that the mastermind behind abducting Yoshiko Kawashima still hadn’t been investigated,
Boss Dai immediately slammed the table,
his face extremely grim, and roared.
“This subordinate knows his mistake, please punish me, Director!”
Facing Boss Dai’s outburst,
station chief Li Changming suddenly felt his legs go weak, his whole body trembling,
terrified, willing to accept punishment, he said,
“Hmph! Even if I kill you now, what then?”
“The incident has happened, make amends immediately, after all, I personally promoted you!”
“Don’t keep losing face for me, I’ll give you three days, you must investigate who the mastermind behind abducting Yoshiko Kawashima is this time, even if you can’t find out, figure out a way to handle the Japanese Army’s constant provocations!”
“Otherwise, if those ambition-filled little Japanese succeed in their scheme and provoke war, bear the consequences yourself!”
“Then don’t say it’s you, even I don’t know what consequences there will be!”
“I might even get implicated!”
Looking at this terrified subordinate before him,
Boss Dai grew even more furious and roared.
If not for the fact that the other was personally promoted by him, had some ability and loyalty, at this moment, he really wanted to shoot this incompetent guy dead,
because up to now, he still hadn’t thought of a good way to avoid Chairman Chang scolding and punishing him once he learned of the matter.
So Boss Dai’s temper became increasingly volatile.
“Yes! Director!”
“This subordinate will immediately investigate the mastermind!”
Looking at the furious, murderous Boss Dai,
station chief Li Changming, frightened, shivered several times, and responded fearfully again.
“Hmph! Get out!”
“If you can’t complete my task, deal with yourself!”
“This is your last chance to make amends!”
Looking at his station chief Li Changming who feared him more and more,
Boss Dai’s temper flared even more.
“Yes! Director!”
Station chief Li Changming hurriedly went off to act on orders.
Because he didn’t want to die, and even less wanted to implicate his family, especially his pair of children.
Watching station chief Li Changming, scared pale-faced and flustered, roll out,
Boss Dai paced back and forth nonstop in the tea house office,
he too was rapidly thinking about who or what organization abducted Yoshiko Kawashima,
and how to report to Chairman Chang without being punished by him.
This was a headache-inducing problem, he needed to consider many things.
And at this time,
Zhou Wenhua was the next morning,
leading a team of plainclothes security team, left Shanghai.
Taking the train, heading to Changsha.
He planned to take his merchant ship there, transfer to his rubber plantation base for inspection,
of course also to avoid staying in Shanghai and being investigated or captured by Boss Dai and Japanese agents.
Although this matter never involved him showing his face publicly,
even the team he dispatched were elite security with unfamiliar faces,
who had never appeared in Shanghai,
but even so,
he still had a slight worry of exposing that the mastermind behind abducting Yoshiko Kawashima was him.
And at this time,
Zhou Weiguo was also with his brother Liu Zhihui at Fudan University, watching and discussing the news of Yoshiko Kawashima’s abduction,
“Sigh! Second Brother! Who do you think abducted that Yoshiko Kawashima?”
“These newspaper reports are intense, this Yoshiko Kawashima was abducted by others in the middle of the night, even over ten elite Japanese agents in her villa were all killed!”
“I’m really curious, what person or forces are so formidable!”
“To be able to pull off such an earth-shattering thing in Shanghai!”
“I really admire them!”
After flipping through all the newspapers,
Liu Zhihui was the first to excitedly say to Zhou Weiguo, agitated and thrilled.
“I want to know too!”
“But I definitely think it wasn’t one person acting, probably an organized, premeditated team, and these people’s skills are exceptionally impressive!”
After a moment of silence, Zhou Weiguo also shared his view.
