Chapter 400: Turning danger into safety (please recommend and vote monthly)
"Uh... Chief Fujita Fujita, I... I didn't know you were... still, still..."
After Wu Shibao suddenly saw Fujita Yoshimasa, he quickly stammered and wanted to explain.
Fujita Yoshimasa didn't want to but waved his hand and asked directly: "What did you just say? Who was beaten?"
"Reporting to Chief Fujita, it was... the young subordinate was beaten by the people from the Inspection Section. As soon as our people arrived at Fang's house, the people from the Inspection Section came out and killed him, still holding on to their hands.
Baron Akagi from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce issued a search warrant and beat and cursed them..."
"Inspection Section? Mr. Aqiang's subordinate?" Fujita Yoshimasa glanced at Minglou as if seeking confirmation. When he nodded, Lao Huai said happily, "Good fight! Good fight!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Shibao was dumbfounded on the spot.
At this moment, Li Shiqun couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said with a bit of hatred: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you go back and let your subordinates think about how to thank me?"
"Thank you? But director, it's us who are suffering now..."
"What's wrong with suffering a little loss? That's better than losing your life. Do you understand? If you understand, then go back to me and take good care of your subordinates, so as not to cause trouble for me every day if you fail to succeed or fail.
!”
At this point, Wu Shibao, no matter how stupid he was, understood it, so he said no more and hurriedly left.
At the same time, in the public concession, in the living room of Fangzhai.
After a long period of silence, Mr. Xian's angry voice rang out, "Okay, Chief Ming, don't say any more. There are two kinds of things like this. If we really press the button this time,
As you said, if you choose to give in, then it will inevitably greatly encourage No. 76's arrogance. At least it will put all the businessmen in Shanghai in danger, and at worst it will probably cause Shanghai's economy to completely collapse. I don't think so.
You’re not being alarmist!”
However, Li Qiang asked calmly: "Having said that, I dare to ask Mr. Xian, apart from what I just said, do you have any better ideas? If so, I should be all ears."
"This..." One sentence left Mr. Xian speechless, and he could only say angrily, "If I had my way, I wouldn't sit here and stare at you."
"That's it. The most important thing now is to save people. As long as we can save people, nothing else matters. As for the Shanghai economy you just mentioned, Mr. Xian, that is what the new government and the Japanese should worry about.
What does it have to do with us? Tell us, is this the truth?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately started talking in low voices.
People's lives were at stake. Soon, Fang Yesian's daughter Fang Yueping stood up and walked to Li Qiang. She bowed deeply and said with firm eyes: "Chief Ming, if we do as you say, you can guarantee that
Let my father return safely?"
"Miss Fang, I can understand your mood, but frankly speaking, I'm not completely sure." Li Qiang replied truthfully.
"I understand, thank you for your honesty, but even so, even if there is only a slight possibility, we are willing to give it a try!"
"Okay, don't worry, Miss Fang, I will do my best."
Half an hour later, Secret Service Headquarters No. 76.
"Report, the Chief of the Supervision Section of the Maintenance Committee came to the wall to ask for an audience."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Shiqun first glanced at Fujita Yoshimasa, and after seeing him nodding, he said: "Let him come in!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang opened the door and walked in. However, unlike Wu Shibao before, when he saw that in addition to Li Shiqun, Fujita Yoshimasa and his eldest brother Minglou were also in the office, he did not feel any surprise. On the contrary,
He greeted him very calmly and calmly: "I have a humble job, Ming Qiang, and I have met Chief Fujita, Chief Ming, oh, and Director Li."
"I wonder why Section Chief Akira came here this time?" Fujita Yoshimasa took the lead and asked knowingly.
"To be honest, Mr. Fujita, I am here just because of Chairman Fang's matters."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Fujita Yoshimasa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "So, you are here to plead for the man named Fang?"
Li Qiang replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Of course not. I am here to state the facts."
However, before he finished speaking, Li Shiqun on the side couldn't help but said: "What facts? He secretly communicated with Chongqing at night. There are all witnesses and material evidence. What else can be stated."
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang just smiled after hearing this, "Director Li, regardless of whether the so-called personal and physical evidence you mentioned is true or false, I just want to ask you a question. In your opinion, he is a suspect who secretly communicates with Chongqing.
Is it important, or is Shanghai’s economy important?”
"You! So according to what you said, in order to maintain Shanghai's economy, we have to stop eating and watch those businessmen with evil intentions flirting with Chongqing under our noses?"
"I admit that what you said makes sense, but this is wartime. Once Shanghai's economy collapses, it will inevitably cause a series of immeasurable chain reactions. Which is more serious than others, you should know better than me."
"Having said that, you can't just put the person back, right? What if..."
"Of course it won't work. I think he can be released, but after all, he is still suspected of secretly communicating with Chongqing, so he must be ordered to leave Shanghai within the time limit, and his family members should be detained as hostages. This should be able to prevent him from speaking out in the future.
Without restraint, he said something he shouldn't have said. Of course, all this is predicated on the Fang family voluntarily handing over a huge deposit. This will not only give sufficient warning to those businessmen with evil intentions, but also
It reflects the generosity of the new government and the Japanese Imperial Army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Hearing this, without waiting for Li Shiqun to speak, Fujita Yoshimasa, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed lightly and said: "Well, this is a way, but after this incident, how should we appease those extreme people?"
Are there any businessmen who might be frightened because of this incident?"
"Well..." Halfway through his words, Li Qiang stopped talking and glanced at Li Shiqun intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Li Qiang did not finish what he said, Li Shiqun had already guessed what he was going to say, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and proactively said to Fujita Yoshimasa: "Sir Fujita, I personally think that if necessary, that person can be taken away."
The arresting team should be severely punished for the crime of indiscriminate arrest, which should appease the businessmen."
"Well, that's it. In short, I don't want to see anything that affects Shanghai's economic prosperity. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
…
After a night of silence, Li Qiang personally took the eldest daughter of the Fang family to No. 76 early the next morning, carrying two large boxes full of gold bars, and managed to get Fang Ye, who was in jail, out of No. 76 jail smoothly.
Rescued.
Although it only lasted one night, Fang Yesian, who had been tortured by wounds and anesthetics one after another, was already extremely weak and could only breathe.
Fortunately, Li Qiang was prepared and called Dr. Yang in advance, and he was able to help him remove the bullet that almost killed half of his life in time, barely saving his life.
Even though Fang Ye was very weak after the surgery, he repeatedly insisted on seeing Li Qiang no matter what. The Fang family had no choice but to invite Li Qiang back to the Ming Mansion.
"Chairman Fang, you have just escaped from life-threatening danger. What you need most now is rest. Is there anything we can't talk about until you recover?" Li Qiang walked to Fang Yesian's bed and sat down and said to him.
Fang Yesian, who was lying on the bed, waved his hand gently and said very weakly: "Chief Ming, you protected my family from the agents of No. 76, and you have traveled around for me.
After listening to Yueping, I won’t say anything about gratitude. Don’t worry, Fang will never forget this kindness!”
"Chairman Fang, if you say that, you are too outrageous. I have listened to the recording of your interrogation in prison. Under such circumstances, you can still stick to your bottom line. I really admire you."
ah!"
"The mountains and rivers are broken and the country has fallen. I can't go into battle to kill the enemy. This is the only thing I can do." At this point, Fang Ye sighed heavily before continuing, "I know you are trying to save me.
I was forced to make a huge concession to No. 76. Although I am angry, I can understand it. But now that the matter has come to this, I would like to ask Section Chief Ming to promise me that you will take more care of my family after I leave."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family for you."
Hearing this, Fang Yesian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That way, I feel relieved."
"By the way, Chairman Fang, what are your plans for the future?"
But Fang Yesian just waved his hand, "Chief Ming, you'd better stop calling me that. If you don't give up, how about we treat each other as uncle and nephew?"
Seeing Li Qiang nodding, Fang Yexian continued: "My dear nephew, to tell you the truth, because this matter happened so suddenly, I really didn't have any specific plans at the moment."
"That being the case, what do you think of going to Hong Kong?"
"Hongkong?"
"Yes, the Quanye Chamber of Commerce encountered a major change some time ago. It is the time to employ people. If, Uncle Fang, you are willing to help, I believe that you will be able to help them regain their strength as soon as possible and get back on track. I just don't know what your intention is.
mean?"
It has to be said that what Li Qiang said was very good. It not only gave great help to Fang Yesian in a timely manner and was struggling to find a way out, but also well maintained his reputation as a successful businessman.
His self-esteem almost never gave him any feeling of sympathy.
So Fang Yesian agreed immediately without even thinking about it: "Okay, in that case, then I will follow your arrangements, my nephew!"
Soon, No. 76 published the entire incident and the final result in major newspapers specifically for the Fang Yexian incident.
Of course, in the newspapers, they naturally avoided all words related to "kidnapping". Instead, they specifically criticized Gu Baolin's unauthorized actions and indiscriminate arrests. They even published a picture of the guy after he was shot.
The photos of the corpse were able to calm down the anger of those who didn't know what was going on, and at the same time appease a large number of businessmen who felt sad about Fang Yesian's experience.
A week later, after a period of careful recovery, Fang Yesian, who had regained some of his strength, boarded a cruise ship leaving Shanghai for Hong Kong under the surveillance of countless pairs of spy eyes.
At this point, the Fang Yesian incident that shocked the entire Shanghai business community and high-level officials of the new government has finally come to an end with a relatively satisfactory outcome.
And early the next morning after Fang Ye left for Hong Kong, Gu Xiaomeng came to Li Qiang's office.
"What did you say? Farewell?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with the work process here. It happened that a new training class was about to open in Nanjing, so my father asked me to sign up."
As soon as he heard that this was what Gu Minzhang meant, Li Qiang already had some concerns in his mind, so he nodded and said: "It seems that Team Leader Li is right. Our small temple can't accommodate your big Buddha after all! But
Since this is Vice President Gu’s intention, naturally I, as a subordinate, will not have any objections, but don’t forget to say hello to your colleagues before leaving!”
However, Gu Xiaomeng laughed after hearing this, "Don't worry, section chief. I've already said hello."
"So I was the last one to know? Then I can only wish you good luck in your studies."
"Thank you, but section chief, don't say goodbye. I have a hunch that we will see you again soon."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! My premonitions are always very effective!" After saying this, Gu Xiaomeng left Li Qiang's office bounding like a cheerful little rabbit.
In the following period, Shanghai finally ushered in a very rare period of calm. Let alone anti-Japanese activities, not even ordinary small cases occurred. This made almost everyone feel an extreme feeling from it.
Unreal feeling.
Early that morning, as soon as Fujita Yoshimasa, who was in a pretty good mood, came to the office, Takagi knocked on the door and walked in.
"What's the matter, Takagi-kun?"
"Report to Chief Fujita. According to reports from his subordinates' informants, Section Chief Ito, who has just taken office, is taking advantage of his position to smuggle large quantities of goods through the Tom. Please order a strict investigation immediately!"
"Smuggling? Is this true?"
"This... my subordinate came to report to you as soon as he received the tip. He has not yet verified it." Takagi replied truthfully.
"Okay, I know about this, you can go down first!"
"Hi Yi!" Takagi stood up quickly, turned around and retreated.
And not long after he left, Fujita Yoshimasa grabbed the phone in front of him and said, "Hello? Help me pick up the Ito Chamber of Commerce!"
Soon, the call was connected, but before the person on the other end could speak, Fujita Yoshimasa immediately said aggressively: "It's me, Fujita Yoshimasa, asking your president to come over and listen to the call!"
