Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 202 Dig a hole, bury it deep

"I think my stage is big enough." Chen Yang murmured, "Aunt, I am already easy to be criticized and become the target of public criticism, and you still let me access intelligence."

"Aunt, please let me go. I just want to make good money."

Li Xianshu's expression froze, her eyes wide open as she said, "You want to make money, but you don't want to work hard. There is no such a cheap thing in the world."

"I have made a big concession to allow you to use public property for personal purposes and transport supplies, but you must know that there is a bottom line in everything you do..."

"Chen Yang, you can't take all the good things in the world by yourself. Now that you have the ability, you should contribute to the empire."

"Don't refuse anymore. This matter has been decided."

"I'll plan the intelligence work for you when General Kagesawa returns."

"Now, pack up and come with me to see Mr. Tang..."

When Chen Yang heard this, he immediately lost his temper.

After instructing Minagawa Shohei to prepare the car, Chen Yang followed Li Xianshu to Tang Shaoyi's residence in Shanghai.

That is the famous spot in Shanghai where many literary and artistic young people have checked in in later generations, the French Concession, the Wukang Building on Wukang Road.

Wukang Road is not far from Xilin South Road where Chen Yang is located.

After entering the French Concession, the car slowly stopped in front of a Spanish-style building.

"Go and knock on the door." Chen Yang instructed Minagawa Shohei.

Shohei Minagawa opened the car door and ran over to knock on the door.

Although Tang Shaoyi held a low-ranking official position, he still had considerable wealth. After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out and asked a few questions, then hurried back to invite Tang Shaoyi out.

Tang Shaoyi, who was in the house, did not dare to delay after knowing the identity of the visitor and quickly got up and went out to greet him.

After welcoming them to the hall and serving them tea, Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "This is a shabby little room, so we don't often have visitors."

"I wonder why Madam is here?"

Li Xianshu took a sip of tea elegantly and said, "As the saying goes, great hermits hide in the city. Mr. Tang stays away from the court and lives far away from the rivers and lakes, like a wandering cloud and wild crane. We don't really want to disturb him any more."

"However, the current situation is turbulent, and we still need Mr. Tang to help the empire stabilize the situation in Central China."

Tang Shaoyi was slightly stunned, took a sip of tea and said: "Liang Hongzhi is doing a good job. I am an old man who has not been involved in government affairs for a long time. How can I have the ability to stabilize the situation?"

Li Xianshu said: "Mr. Tang is wrong. The Governor-General of Zhili and the Governor of Fengtian are both important positions that can influence the world."

"Besides, Mr. Tang was once the Prime Minister of the Cabinet."

"Although he has been away from the court for a long time, many people in the south still follow Mr. Tang's lead."

"Besides, the situation in the south was turbulent and the people were displaced. I'm sure Mr. Tang also saw the Huayuankou tragedy."

"The Nationalist government treated human life as worthless. In order to stop the empire from advancing westward, it did not hesitate to sacrifice the homes of tens of millions of people."

"These disaster victims are still in dire straits."

"The four provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Henan, which are surrounded by Shanghai, are in great distress. Mr. Tang cares about the world and cannot turn a blind eye to this..."

Tang Shaoyi frowned and said, "I am too old and incompetent to take on this important task. I really don't dare to take on this important task."

"Besides, I am only capable of governing a county. It is difficult for me to carry the banner of the new government."

Li Xianshu smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, you are too modest. Your open-mindedness is what we admire."

"You are a big shot who has been the prime minister. Even if you were assigned to a small county, you would accept it with pleasure and without complaint. This further proves that you don't care about fame and fortune at all."

"The Empire wants to invite you out of retirement because it considers that the situation in the south requires a figure like you to take charge."

"Don't worry, as long as you help us stabilize the south, we will let you stay or leave."

Chen Yang listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but be shocked by Li Xianshu's negotiation skills.

She seemed to have a clear understanding of Tang Shaoyi's habits.

At the beginning, he did not promise high positions, generous salaries, gold, silver, treasures, fine wine and beautiful women.

Instead, we directly use people’s lives as a breakthrough point.

The fact that Tang Shaoyi, who had served as prime minister, was willing to be a county magistrate proves that he valued neither profit nor power.

However, threatening the people seems to be more likely to impress the other party.

Tang Shaoyi sipped his tea in silence for a long time, wondering what he was thinking about...

Li Xianshu was not in a hurry either. She just drank tea quietly, as if waiting for the other party to make a decision.

After a while, Tang Shaoyi sighed and said, "Madam, can we move to the study and have a chat?"

Li Xianshu looked at Tang Shaoyi in surprise. After a while, she turned her head to look at Chen Yang and nodded, "Mr. Tang, please lead the way."

Chen Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could this guy really want to be a traitor?

"Sir, would you like more tea?" Butler Tang De asked as he came up with the tea.

Looking at the face in front of him with a flattering smile, Chen Yang smiled meaningfully.

"OK..."

At midnight.

Song Jiayu closed the door of the Magnolia Garment Shop, and walked towards the Baishi Road night snack stall with a thermos in her hand.

There is a small night market on Baishi Road.

The nightlife in Shanghai is very rich, and many dance halls are open until the early hours of the morning.

Therefore, even at midnight, this place is still bustling with activity.

Various snacks and noodles from all over the world are concentrated in a corner of the night market, exuding a strong flavor of human fireworks.

"Boss, one serving of soaked rice, two side dishes, and one serving of braised food, take away."

Walking to a small stall with familiarity, Song Jiayu said something to the owner.

"Hey, Madam Boss, you're a little late today. Business in the store should be good, right?"

The vendor skillfully packed various foods for Song Jiayu while chatting with her.

Song Jiayu responded casually with a few words, picked up the packed food and walked back.

When passing the intersection of Hualan Street, Song Jiayu slowed down and walked to a secluded corner. Song Jiayu pretended to bend down to tie her shoelaces and reached into the corner.

A sealed note fell into Song Jiayu's palm. Without changing her expression, she put the note into her pocket and continued to walk forward step by step.

After returning to the house, Song Jiayu quickly opened the note.

"Urgently send a telegram to the headquarters, Tang Shaoyi wants to surrender to the Japanese invaders. Also, kidnap Tang De, the head of the Tang Mansion, and interrogate him for all the details. After the deed is done, kill him to silence him. Remember to bury him deep so that he will not be easily discovered."

Tang Shaoyi wanted to surrender to the Japanese, and Song Jiayu was shocked when she saw the information on the note.

This man is a well-known leader in the South. If he defected to the Japanese, it would have a huge negative impact on the war of resistance.

But what is strange is why they kidnapped the butler of the Tang Mansion and specifically instructed him to kill him and bury him deep after the crime. What is the chief doing?
