Dai Li sighed and said: "You stand up for me. A soldier can't behead a bowl but has a big scar. He has some backbone. I'll try my best to help you keep your position."
Dai Li couldn't really ignore Weng Bailing. In any case, it was his idea to kidnap Ning Xiner, and this incident was the direct reason for Lu Ming and Weng Bailing's rift.
What's more, Weng Bailing was personally selected by the commission, so Dai Li naturally had reasons to keep him.
However, it is difficult to achieve even if there is no punishment at all. After all, the matter is obvious. If there is no punishment, Lu Ming will probably not stop.
If Weng Bailing is allowed to survive this time safely, wouldn't it mean that the superiors have also recognized Weng Bailing's statement, and in disguise, Lu Ming has been accused of being a communist.
According to this statement, Lu Ming had to be imprisoned immediately. The Republic of China government could not let a Kuomintang major general who was sympathetic to the Communist Party wander around like a normal person.
Within the Kuomintang, being a communist is a very serious accusation and must not be mentioned casually. Moreover, Weng Bailing said that Lu Ming is a murderer, which is also a serious accusation.
The superiors can investigate these accusations, and if evidence is really found, Lu Ming will be dealt with. If nothing is found, Weng Bailing is deliberately slandering the chief, which is also a very serious crime.
There is a strict hierarchy within the Kuomintang. Even if people from rival factions see a senior official from the other party, they must salute politely and dare not offend in the slightest.
Weng Bailing actually dared to draw his gun on Lu Ming, which was a violation of this rule.
In the army, if two people have unequal ranks and speak in different ways and tones, their offense is a serious provocation and must be punished.
"You should go back first. I'll think about how to plead with my superiors about this matter." Dai Li waved his hand in annoyance.
"Thank you, Chief Dai." Weng Bailing bowed his body and left with a lot of gratitude.
Dai Li sat on a chair, thinking back on what Lu Ming said to him just now.
The first time Lu Ming explained to him the dangers of kidnapping Ning Xiner, he didn't care, but now he pays some attention to it.
Lu Ming's words are not alarmist, they are all facts. If the Cao Gang goes crazy, the consequences will be serious. In addition, other gangs will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Even if the government steps in to provide guidance and suppression, Shanghai's order will be seriously affected.
Once there is chaos in Shanghai, he will have to take responsibility in front of the committee because he was the one who started it.
If things get serious, the kidnapping of Ning Xiner cannot be hidden from the committee. In fact, it cannot be hidden. Du Yuesheng will be the first to report him to the committee.
It seemed that he had to meet with the Japanese quickly, jointly interrogate Ning Xiner, and then throw away this hot potato.
Lu Ming left early in the afternoon. He found An Gonggen, Zhang Ziyang, Ning Zetao and Yuan Mingzhu to discuss Ning Xiner's disappearance.
A few people were sitting in a local restaurant, and all they wanted were some authentic Shanghai local dishes.
However, no one was in the mood to eat or drink. They all knew that Lu Ming must have something to say. It seemed that things had taken a new turn.
"Now it seems that Miss Xin'er is most likely to fall into the hands of the Japanese." Lu Ming said.
"What should we do, ask the Japanese directly for people?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"It's useless. I asked Mr. Sheng to put pressure on the Japanese side, but the Japanese side insisted that the matter had nothing to do with them and there was no use going through official channels." Lu Ming said distressedly.
"Lu Ming, if you don't get Sister Xiner back properly, I will never forgive you in this life." Yuan Mingzhu shouted at Lu Ming.
She held a handkerchief in one hand and said with tears.
Ever since Ning Xiner disappeared, Mingzhu has been haunted and can't help crying whenever she mentions Ning Xiner.
Relatively speaking, Ning Zetao is relatively calm. He knows that there is a conspiracy behind this matter. The most important thing at this moment is not to mess up his position.
"Mingzhu, don't be like this. This matter has nothing to do with Lu Ming. No one wants this to happen. Aren't we trying to find a solution now?" Zhang Ziyang advised.
"No, this matter has something to do with me. Miss Xin'er was implicated by me. I swear, no matter who did it, they must pay back a hundred times the price in the end." Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
"As long as you find out who did this, I will take care of the revenge. You don't want to show your face." Ning Zetao said.
Ning Xiner has been missing for so many days. Ning Zetao actually has no hope in his heart. His only hope now is to find out which group of devils committed the crime. He wants revenge! Revenge!
"Master Lu, just tell me what to do. Even if the Japanese didn't do this, it's still right to attack them." An Gonggen said.
For An Gonggen, he wished he could kill Japanese every day to be happy. He would be even happier if he killed all the Japanese in Shanghai without leaving a single one.
"Did you find any clues there?" Lu Ming said with a hint of reproach in his tone.
An Gonggen was a little embarrassed. Lu Ming had given him and the brigade brothers sufficient funds, but their recent actions had not been very good, which disappointed Lu Ming.
Lu Ming asked them to keep an eye on Yoshiko Kawashima, but they didn't. He asked them to find clues about Ning Xiner's disappearance, but they didn't find out either.
An Gonggen also felt helpless, not to mention that Yoshiko Kawashima was too cunning and had never been able to kidnap her.
Just talking about investigating Ning Xiner's disappearance, he spent a lot of effort and used all the informants, including the insiders planted among the Japanese, but he never made any progress.
"Let's simply attack Manchuria directly. If the Japanese did it, it must have been done by people from Manchuria. It wasn't them, and we have no losses." An Gonggen wanted to make up for the mistake.
"Well, if it doesn't work, we have to take action against Mantetsu without further delay." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
"But people from Manchuria usually stay in the Japanese Concession and rarely come out." Zhang Ziyang frowned.
"Then let's start in the Japanese Concession." Lu Ming was also willing to take risks.
"No." Zhang Ziyang and Ning Zetao said at the same time.
"Why not? Just one word, do it!" An Gonggen stood up, looking like he couldn't wait another minute.
"The Japanese Concession is not like the French Concession and the British Concession. At least part of it is controlled by the Chinese. The Japanese Concession is entirely in the hands of the Japanese. It is difficult for the Chinese to enter, let alone attack, and even if they can attack, they cannot withdraw.
." Zhang Ziyang said.
"Lu Ming, don't take risks. I said, I'll do the work. We don't have anything else in the Cao Gang. We have plenty of people." Ning Zetao said in a deep voice.
"Of course we can't act recklessly when attacking the Manchurian people. We need to formulate a feasible plan. In addition, we must give them a painful beating. Let them know that in Shanghai, even in the Japanese Concession, they are not the masters and cannot do whatever they want." Lu Ming
He waved to An Gonggen and motioned for him to sit down.
"That is, the Japanese have become more and more aggressive recently. They dare to ambush you on the highway. This arrogance must be suppressed." After An Gonggen sat down, he patted the table indignantly.
"I don't care if they attack me. After all, I really have a grudge against them, but Miss Xin'er has nothing to do with them, and they dare to attack me. I must respond resolutely and teach them a lesson," Lu Ming said.
.
After the meal, several people walked out of the restaurant. Yuan Mingzhu suddenly hugged Lu Ming and said: "Lu Ming, please, you must rescue Sister Xin'er, and you must rescue her well. I often have nightmares, dreams
I saw Sister Xin'er crying, and I dreamed that Sister Xin'er was asking me for help."
Lu Ming's eyes became wet and he couldn't help but shed tears.
As the saying goes, men should not shed tears easily. Lu Ming shed tears not because of Ning Xiner, but because of Mingzhu.
He could feel Mingzhu's pain. During the half-year period when Sheng Muyi was missing, he often had this kind of angina-like pain.
"Don't worry, I promise to hand her over to you well." Lu Ming patted Mingzhu on the back and said.
Ning Zetao sighed and left with Mingzhu.
Zhang Ziyang and An Gonggen did not leave, but followed Lu Ming to Wanguo Apartment.
"Master Lu, just tell me what to do. All my people are waiting for your order." An Gonggen said.
Since working with Lu Ming, An Gonggen and his men have completely changed their way of life, because their treatment is completely different from before.
However, we cannot attack the Japanese arbitrarily. All actions must be subject to the overall situation. After all, they are also current staff of the Fuxing Society.
Zhang Ziyang didn't say anything. As a detective of the police station, of course he couldn't do anything random. Besides, he didn't have a deep hatred for the Japanese.
