Lu Ming dared to directly disobey the commission's order conveyed by Dai Li. The first reason was that he was angry, and the second reason was that he was not afraid. He was not afraid of being dismissed from his post, which would not harm him at all, and he was not afraid of being arrested. If he was really arrested, Sheng You
De, Mr. Wang will probably fight with Mr. Jiang that night.
Don't look at the fact that the last time the Military Justice Department took Lu Ming to Nanjing and placed him under house arrest, Sheng Youde didn't come forward. That's because he knew Lu Ming was not in danger, but he was just locked up in a small dark room for a few days.
Later, Japanese chaebols and some followers in Shanghai shorted Sheng's stock, which gave Sheng Youde a good opportunity to win the financial war.
Sheng Youde decided to let Lu Ming stay in Nanjing to confuse his opponents. As expected, the Shanghai financial battlefield was ablaze and the confrontation became fierce.
Sheng Youde mobilized huge amounts of overseas funds to fight back. In less than a month, he defeated the consortium that shorted Sheng's stock and achieved a major victory.
Sheng Youde used this to make a report on the violent fluctuations in the Shanghai financial market to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, and a condensed version of the report was sent to the desks of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang.
Mr. Jiang was surprised and delighted after seeing the report. To his surprise, Sheng Youde was so brilliant that he actually used his order for the Military Law Office to take away Lu Ming as an opportunity to win a financial defense battle.
Fortunately, the Sheng Group, as the purse strings of the Republic of China government, dared to compete with the Japanese consortium in a real-life game, and achieved an absolute victory.
Mr. Wang also had mixed emotions. Fortunately, he was right about the young talent Lu Ming. He would be the actual successor of the Sheng Group in the future. If he could keep him by his side, he might play a huge role in the future.
What is worrying is that Sheng is at odds with the Japanese consortium, and the Japanese ambassador to China has sent him secret documents from the Japanese government, hoping that he will communicate with Sheng Youde at the appropriate time to avoid unnecessary harm.
Mr. Wang has always been committed to the goodwill and friendship between China and Japan, and even advocates making partial compromises with Japan.
His reason is that Japan is ahead of China in terms of industrial civilization and weapons manufacturing. Once a conflict occurs, it may be a huge disaster for China.
Whether it is the Nanjing government, the Republic of China government, the military, or the intellectual class, there are many people who support Mr. Wang's views.
Sino-Japanese friendship was once a strong voice in the political circles of the Republic of China, but Sheng Youde firmly sided with Mr. Chiang on this point.
Sino-Japanese relations must be based on mutual respect and equality. Without this foundation, there is no need to discuss anything.
However, in actual operation, Mr. Chiang was not monolithic. Once he encountered issues related to the Communist Party, Mr. Chiang would rather give up his principled stance towards Japan.
This is also the fundamental reason why Sheng Youde often resisted Mr. Jiang softly and hard. Sheng Youde agreed with Mr. Chiang's policy towards Japan, but could not accept his comprehensive anti-communist attitude.
Now Ning Xiner's case happens to be an intersection point. Behind it is the Republic of China government, the Japanese military, the Chinese Communist Party and other forces that check and balance each other.
For Lu Ming, this has become a pit of fire, and he is already in the pit.
The commission asked him to hand over the case, not to drag him out of the pit of fire, but because he knew that he had always been tough and would not obey orders. Instead of wasting time with him, it would be better to find another place.
If the case goes to the Shanghai Police Headquarters, of course you won't find someone as tough as him, but the police chief is not a vegetarian either.
The police station pushed Zhang Ziyang out not because they disliked him, but because he was originally the detective responsible for investigating Ning Xiner's case.
If the case is handled as mentioned above, the person who handled it will definitely be called a traitor by the Chinese people. Once the situation changes in a few years, the person who handled the case may be arrested and brought to justice to quell public anger, and it is difficult to escape being a traitor.
Tag of.
Even if the person accepted by the police station was not Zhang Ziyang, Lu Ming would not hand over the case. Doing so would be tantamount to completely abandoning Ning Xiner.
This is a huge injustice to Ning Xiner, even more unjust than Dou E. Now that the matter involves Zhang Ziyang, Zhang Ziyang may be put on the fire, and Lu Ming will not agree to go through the handover procedures.
Lu Ming said what he meant, and Zhang Ziyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could escape this disaster, but he was also worried about Lu Ming.
"Brother, can you really withstand this? This is no small matter."
"You are wrong. Of course I can't bear it myself, but the people behind me will help me." Lu Ming laughed, as if nothing happened.
Just as Sheng Youde was angry with him, he was also holding back his anger towards Sheng Youde. If Sheng Youde had taken full action, this case would have been solved long ago, and there would be no need to get into this situation.
Because Sheng Youde was angry with him and was also dissatisfied with Caobang, he did not work hard on Ning Xiner's matter.
However, if Lu Ming got himself into trouble, Sheng Youde might not be able to keep his face out anymore.
"Brother, if you do this, you will save me." Zhang Ziyang said gratefully.
Zhang Ziyang knew very well that if he took over this case and followed the orders from above, what would be the outcome waiting for him? Within five years, not only might he be dismissed from office, but he would also be despised by thousands of people.
"I can't talk about saving you. I just want Miss Ning to go home smoothly. Now there is only the last step." Lu Ming said.
"Did you find any new evidence?" Zhang Ziyang said after taking a sip of wine.
The two of them had been drinking, and the food on the table was almost untouched. They both felt that they had no appetite. I wonder if it was because of the hot weather.
Lu Ming nodded: "There is no need to look for evidence now, the evidence is conclusive! I have already released the winning hand, and the big shots behind it have also taken action. Don't worry, if everything goes well, it will only take a few days."
"That's great." Zhang Ziyang said in surprise.
He was pleasantly surprised not only that there was hope for Ning Xiner to be rescued, but also that he was relieved to finally be able to get rid of this damn case.
After Lu Ming returned to the office, he unexpectedly saw He Zhonghan sitting in his office waiting for him.
"Sir He, when did you arrive? Why didn't I know at all?" Lu Ming was very surprised.
"Brother Lu, I have just arrived." He Zhonghan came up and shook hands with him warmly.
"Why don't you inform me first so that I can help you clean up your dust?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"I'm a person who comes and goes often, so why do I need to notify you? I just came when I wanted to." He Zhonghan said cheerfully.
Lu Ming already understood something in his heart. Everyone in the party, government and military circles of the Republic of China knew that He Zhonghan was best at doing political and ideological work for others. He came directly to his office this time, probably to do his ideological work.
Lu Ming asked Liu Qiwen to bring a few bottles of Coke chilled in ice, handed one to He Zhonghan, and then said with a smile: "Brother He, have you had lunch? Why don't you find a place?"
"Forget it, let's wait until night. I just had a bite on the way and I'm not hungry now." He Zhonghan took a big sip of Coke and said.
"Then let's go to the Chinachem Hotel in the evening. I'll also invite Yu Nong. He has been in Shanghai for a long time and has been so busy that I can't find time to invite him." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Brother Lu, isn't it? I'm afraid you are too busy to spare any time, right?" He Zhonghan said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and He Zhonghan naturally brought the topic to Ning Xiner's case, intending to let him hand it over.
"Brother, I also know that this matter is unfair to Miss Ning, but what else can we do? If we do this, at least the Japanese can let go, and we can also save people. Regarding Miss Ning's loss, the government
Can you try to compensate me as much as possible?" He Zhonghan said seriously.
"Brother He, if it was just about Miss Ning, you wouldn't have to come to Shanghai in person, right?" Lu Ming said sarcastically.
"Yes, the most serious thing now is that Shanghai's industrial production and commercial trade have been greatly affected. Foreign governments have strong opinions. They are also putting pressure on Nanjing every day to restore public order and commercial exchanges in Shanghai as soon as possible.
." He Zhonghan said anxiously.
"It also depends on who did the bad thing. As the saying goes, there is a wrongdoer and a debtor, and the Japanese should bear full responsibility for this matter. It is useless for foreigners to be anxious. They still have to wait for us to explain the truth clearly." Lu Mingzao
The draft has been prepared. If He Zhonghan doesn't show up today, others will come forward to lobby tomorrow.
"Not only are they anxious, we are even more anxious. If this situation in Shanghai is delayed for one day, our losses will be in the millions. We really can't afford the loss." He Zhonghan smacked his lips repeatedly.
"So Brother He thinks that in comparison, the damage to a citizen's reputation and personal rights is a trivial matter, right?" Lu Ming said with a sneer.
"No, that's not what I meant. Besides, I don't have the power to decide such a big matter. This is all what the upper levels of the government want, do you understand?" He Zhonghan said with a bitter smile.
"I understand. Not only do I understand, I can also deeply appreciate the painstaking efforts of the superiors to care about the country and the people. Well, since a citizen's personal rights, his right to survival and his right to reputation must be sacrificed, then I will do it."
Lu Ming said resolutely.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with you? You just investigated a case. Now just hand the case over to the police station." He Zhonghan said in shock.
"Brother He, this matter really has something to do with me. Aren't the Japanese going to strictly investigate the major suspects in the arms robbery? I was the one who sponsored and planned the arms robbery, but Miss Ning is really innocent.
, she doesn’t know anything. I can’t watch an innocent person who has a deep relationship with me take the blame for me.” Lu Ming said firmly.
"Brother, you..." He Zhonghan opened his eyes wide and was speechless.
Lu Ming sponsored the Jinjiu 20,000 yuan activity fund and supported the Koreans in hijacking the Japanese arsenal. He Zhonghan knew about this, and the committee also knew about it. Lu Ming never hid it.
He Zhonghan did not think that Lu Ming had done anything wrong, and he never thought of handing Lu Ming over to calm the anger of the Japanese, because Lu Ming was not only one of his own, but he also did this matter very coolly and beautifully.
But the problem was that this batch of arms ended up in the hands of the Communist army. It was precisely this last point that the commissioner was dissatisfied with, so he ordered Dai Li to investigate the truth of the matter.
"What I said is true. If Miss Ning must be sacrificed above, I will never sit idly by and watch. In that case, I will go to the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai to surrender." Lu Ming stood up and said.
