Changchun Street, northwest corner of the intersection, Fuhe Bar.
It was already dark at this time, and there were very few people around. There was a gang fight, and the accident did not affect this place. Although it was fortunate, there were fewer customers, and the bar was almost empty.
Liu Richen and Liao Ruolan were sitting in the corner, drinking coffee and looking at each other.
Liao Ruolan said softly: "These days, my journalist friends and I have been in contact with various national army officers. However, I have never found anyone who has the same views as Sun Jike."
Liu Richen also asked softly: "Their idea is to set up defenses on the outskirts of the city?"
Liao Ruolan said: "Yes, it's the same idea, but the difference is a little further or a little closer."
Liu Richen lowered his head and fell into deep doubts.
He raised his head worriedly and said with great concern: "This won't work! This will never work! Setting up defenses on the outskirts of the city will only cause greater losses! The impact on people's hearts will be even worse!"
Liao Ruolan looked at him helplessly, not knowing what to say.
Liu Richen waved his hand to her, "I'm not blaming you. Let me say it again, this is not your task."
Liao Ruolan added: "I got a piece of news. I don't know if it is accurate. It seems that at the end of this month or early next month, the Military Commission will hold a meeting to study and formulate a defense plan for Wuhan."
Liu Richen nodded, "I also got the news. Time is too tight! When will you reporters leave?"
Liao Ruolan said: "It will take about three or four days, or four or five days, I can't tell."
Liu Richen said: "Use these last few days to try again."
Liao Ruolan nodded and said no more. But she was very worried in her heart. She wondered if she could meet a national army officer that Old Liu needed! I'm afraid even if the rank is low! It would be better to be a senior general!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China is located on the north side of Yiyuan Road. It is a large Western-style building.
At this time, most of the windows in the entire building were dark, and only a few windows still had lights on.
One of them is the window of Gao Zongwu, Director-General of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was still early. Thinking of this, his anger rose again!
He sat down behind his desk, picked up the phone and made a long-distance call to Liu Yingui in Shanghai!
The long-distance call had to be transferred in the middle, and it took ten minutes for his call to be answered!
"Who?" Liu Yingui asked on the other end of the phone.
"Me! Gao Zongwu!" The anger in his heart soared again!
"Oh, Mr. Gao, what's going on? What happened?" Liu Yingui heard his bad tone and asked hurriedly.
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this! You kindly helped me fund the goods I purchased in Shanghai, and you also rented a boat for me! I'm very grateful! But when they got to Wuhan, they were dragging their feet.
Ship it to me as soon as possible to Chongqing, but it is stored in Yang Qingshan's warehouse! What happened! The Wuhan gang turned upside down! They set fire on both sides! My goods were burned too! Mr. Liu, tell me, what's going on! What's going on with this account?
Calculate!"

Duolun Road, Shanghai, in the Liu family's mansion.
Liu Yingui was sitting by the bed in his pajamas, answering Gao Zongwu's call.
He was about to go to bed when he received a call from Gao Zongwu and listened to him chattering on the phone for five minutes!
From the newspapers in Shanghai, he had already known that the Wuhan Hongmen and the Cangchuan Gang were fighting, and the scene was very dangerous! But he did not expect that this fight would affect Mr. Gao's goods!
Speaking of which, he paid for Gao Zongwu to purchase goods on a large scale, just to cover up the thirty boxes of goods! And they were successfully shipped to Wuhan! This was what he and Yang Qingshan had discussed on the phone!
He made it very clear to Gao Zongwu, "The capital is mine, and the profit is yours. I estimate that the profit should be half and half!"
Gao Zongwu was willing to take the risk to protect his thirty boxes of goods just because of the interests of the two and a half!
According to his original calculation, Mr. Gao made a profit and returned the capital to him, so he did not lose money.
But now, Mr. Gao's goods have been burned, and it is obvious that his book will not come back!
However, after hearing what Mr. Gao said, he seemed to still want the half-and-half profit! This put him in a difficult position!
However, no matter how difficult it is for him, he cannot offend a high-ranking official like Gao Zongwu!
He said: "Mr. Gao, do you think this is a good idea? I'll call Boss Yang to ask about the situation, and then we can discuss a solution and get back to you. Do you think this is a good idea?"
Gao Zongwu was also a smart man, and he immediately understood what Liu Yingui meant, and it seemed that there was still a chance for everything.
He said: "Well, I'll wait for your call! I hope you can come up with a solution as soon as possible!"
Liu Yingui hung up the phone on Gao Zongwu and immediately called Yang Qingshan.
It took a while to get through his call.
17-3
Yang Qingshan was already asleep, so he got up in the middle of the night to answer the phone. As soon as he heard what Liu Yingui meant, he immediately became furious!
In just a few days, he suffered a big loss in the battle with the Pengchuan Gang! Jiangdong Trading Company was burned down by the Pengchuan Gang! Naturally, Gao Zongwu's goods were included among them! But he also lost a lot of property! It was not set on fire.
It was burned, that is, it was smashed to pieces! His Qiaokou Hall was even killed by Chen Zifeng and his gang of bastards! The hall leader Meng Jixiong still fell into their hands! I don’t know what fatal things this Meng Jixiong would say.
Come!
Now, Liu Yingui mentioned Gao Zongwu's goods to him again, making him tremble with anger!
Those bastards Chen Zifeng were like a group of wolves that had just been let out of the cage! They were going crazy! They even threatened him with a box of gunpowder! They almost blew him up! Who will compensate him for these losses!
He and Liu Yingui had a heated argument on the phone!
"Boss Yang, the goods purchased by Mr. Gao were paid for by me!"
"The losses I suffered here are more than ten times greater than your little money!"
"You have a dispute with the canopy gang, that's your business! It can't be blamed on me! Our business is business!"
They argued for a long time and finally reached an agreement. Liu Yingui's skills and Gao Zongwu's profits will all be earned from those thirty boxes of goods in the future! The key to this is to find a good buyer in Chongqing and pay a high price.
Take their goods!
Liu Yingui said: "Boss Yang, please calm down. In business, unexpected things will always happen. At least, we are seeking profit without capital, and our losses will always be recovered!"
Yang Qingshan also understands this truth. After thinking about it, there is no other way! The most important thing in the next step is to find a good buyer in Chongqing!
After he and Liu Yingui reached an agreement, he put down the phone.
But he was just angry in his heart! He was holding this anger in his heart and could not get rid of it!
He simply didn't sleep. He put on his clothes and left Yang's house in a car.
He is going to find Bai Chongxin. If he doesn't kill those bastards like Chen Zifeng, he will not survive!

Gao Zongwu left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, walked a short distance, and entered a Western restaurant called "Night Paris" at the intersection of Youyi Street.
Ying Si and Yuan Qinxin were sitting in the restaurant waiting for him.
Takashi stood up, shook hands with him, and asked him to sit down at the table.
But Yuan Qinxin stood up and said, "You two, please chat slowly. I have to go back first. If I go to bed late, my face will not look good." She smiled, shook her hand, and left quietly.
Ying Si smiled and said: "This Ms. Yuan is really beautiful. She speaks tactfully, knows the books and is courteous. How nice!"
Gao Zongwu was not in such a good mood to joke with him, and said: "Whatever you want, just say it! I'll listen!"
Yingji looked at him calmly and said, "I would like to ask, has Mr. Gao encountered any troubles?"
Gao Zongwu didn't want to tell the Japanese that his goods were burned in the fire! It seems that I care more about money! I don't want you to see the joke yet!
He stared at Takashi and shook his head vigorously.
Tingji immediately nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk directly. What I want to ask is, does Mr. Gao have any new news for me about the Japan-China peace talks? My boss sent me here just for this matter.
Things! I hope there will be peace between Japan and China!"
This is also something that worries Gao Zongwu!
After being frightened all the way from Shanghai, and finally returning to Wuhan, he has been discussing peace talks with Chairman Wang and others. But this matter is easy to talk about, but very difficult to do!
He knows very well that the military's support for Chairman Wang is crucial!
But in this regard, there has been no clear progress. However, Zhou Fohai from the attendant's office told him that work in this area has been ongoing, and there has even been progress! But Zhou Fohai refused to tell him what progress had been made!
Ying Si seemed to understand Gao Zongwu's thoughts and said softly: "Mr. Gao, we are very willing to reach a peace agreement with Mr. Wang. But this matter cannot be done without the support of the military, right?"
Gao Zongwu glared at him and said firmly: "I tell you, the senior military officials we contacted all support Mr. Wang!"
Ying Si immediately stared at him and said, "Mr. Gao, how can you ensure that the army you mentioned will support him?"
Gao Zongwu said sternly: "Mr. Yingsi, we have already taken measures in this regard! You can wait and see!"
Tingji said: "Mr. Gao said to wait and see, there should be a time, right?"
Gao Zongwu showed a proud smile on his face, "At the end of this month, the Military Commission will hold a supreme meeting! Generals from all over the country will come to Wuhan! At that time, we will talk to these senior generals one by one! They will definitely support Mr. Wang!"
Tingji stared at him cautiously, "Mr. Gao, can you elaborate a little more?"
Gao Zongwu immediately said: "This won't work! Mr. Yingji will definitely know it when we discuss it!"
Yingji stared at him silently and didn't speak for a while.

In the morning, Chen Zifeng's brothers had breakfast and gathered in the living room.
They have changed into plain clothes of various colors, with pistols and daggers stuck in their waists, with vaguely cunning and relaxed smiles on their faces, waiting to start today's mission.
It was still Qiao Yanfang who assigned the task.
She looked at the brothers around her with sharp eyes, but her mood was extremely good! Damn it, I'm alive again!
