Chapter 657 Going to Mountain City
Sitting in the car were Ren Dashi and his superior Li Xiang. Ren Dashi looked stunned and could not believe what had just happened.
When he walked out of the hot pot restaurant and passed by a black car parked on the street, the person sitting in the driver's seat stopped him and asked him to get in immediately. He took a look and found that this person was his superior Li Xiang.
He knew Li Xiang was definitely there to monitor Ren Zhiping, and he might also be monitoring him. On his way home from get off work, he stopped by the grocery store and bought a pack of cigarettes. He told Li Xiang that Ren Zhiping had treated him to a meal at Zhouji Hot Pot Restaurant near his home. Li Xiang quickly asked him why Ren Zhiping had treated him to a meal. Ren Dashi said he didn't know. Li Xiang then warned Ren Dashi not to entertain any further attempts to incite Ren Zhiping to defect. He said Ren Zhiping was dangerous and that he should be cautious when interacting with him.
It seems he was still worried, so he came to the hot pot restaurant and waited outside to monitor them. As soon as Ren Dashi got in the car, Li Xiang immediately asked about their meal. What was Ren Zhiping's intention in inviting him to dinner? What did he say?
Ren Dashi explained the situation and said that Ren Zhiping would definitely report to the Military Control Commission. The Military Control Commission had only suspected him before and could not confirm it. After listening to Ren Zhiping's report, they might determine that he was a Japanese spy and his situation would definitely be very dangerous.
Then he begged to be allowed to evacuate the mountain city, and told Li Xiang that Ren Zhiping might have also noticed the grocery store, so he'd better evacuate as well.
Li Xiang was shocked. He remembered Dulang's instructions that in order to ensure Spider's safety, Ren Zhiping could be eliminated as a last resort. Now it seemed that he had to get rid of him before Ren Zhiping reported to the Military Control Commission.
Before he could say anything, he saw Ren Zhiping walking out of the hot pot restaurant and walking straight to the telephone booth not far across the street. Without thinking, he immediately started the car and rushed forward, knocking Ren Zhiping out from behind. Ren Dashi screamed and watched Ren Zhiping fly a long distance and fall heavily to the ground.
He didn't expect that Li Xiang would kill Ren Zhiping without saying anything, which made him feel sad and angry. After all, this was his cousin and they grew up together and had a deep affection for each other. He had no intention of killing him at all.
But obviously the Japanese didn't care about all this. They would do anything to keep him hiding in the mountain city.
Now that Ren Zhiping is dead, he has no choice but to stay in the mountain city. He knows that with his cousin dead, the Military Control Commission will never easily believe that this is just a simple traffic accident. They will suspect that it was done by Japanese spies and will never lift their surveillance on him. Li Xiang also told him this, asking him to be more cautious.
In the next few days, he felt that someone was indeed monitoring him, but he could only pretend not to know and go to get off work normally every day, but the uneasiness in his heart could not be eliminated.
The Japanese urged him once again to quickly persuade Song Zhenzhong to defect...
Yuan Ye, who was far away in Shanghai, was also uneasy about Ren Zhiping's death, which offset his joy at the capture of the Guangtian group. These two things were one happy and one sad, but he felt that the third thing mentioned in the telegram sent by Chu Yuntian was more important, and it made him think about it for a while.
Chu Yuntian said in the telegram that the Silver Fox team's investigation work was at a standstill and could not make any progress. It was still uncertain whether Ren Dashi was a Japanese spy. This was a big hidden danger. He hoped that Yuan Ye could return to the mountain city for a while when it was convenient and find ways to help him solve these problems. He did not need to stay for long. Regardless of whether he could solve the problem or not, he should at least give it a try and let him return to Shanghai in a month at most.
The reason why Chu Yuntian came up with this idea was because Dai Yunong found him and said that the seven Japanese spies in his hands were of no value anyway, so he planned to execute them publicly to deter the enemy and boost morale, and also to declare that the Military Control Commission's anti-espionage work was effective.
However, Chu Yuntian felt that although these captured Japanese spies were stubborn, they were not without value. It was just that there was no way to find them for the time being, so it would be a pity to shoot them now.
He suddenly thought of Yuan Ye. Although he had no solution, Yuan Ye was very smart and capable. Perhaps he had a solution.
He actually had this idea a long time ago, and maybe now is the right time to call him back to the mountain city.
He told Dai Yunong his suggestion. Dai Yunong thought about it and felt that Yuan Ye was very capable. If he could get away from home in Shanghai, he could let him come back and try. To be honest, he had never met Yuan Ye before and he also wanted to see what this legendary figure who had made many outstanding achievements looked like.
He told Chu Yuntian that Yuan Ye's return must be kept strictly confidential and his true identity must not be told to anyone.
He agreed to give Chu Yuntian a month. If Yuan Ye could not solve the problem, these Japanese spies would be publicly executed after a month.
After much consideration, Yuan Ye decided to go to the mountain city. Perhaps these problems could only be solved by going there himself. He still had this confidence, after all, he had extraordinary abilities.
However, one month is too long. He must strive to complete the task in the shortest time possible, and the shorter the better. After all, he is in a high position now and is under the spotlight. If he leaves Shanghai for too long, it will inevitably arouse other people's suspicion.
He had already thought of an excuse to leave Shanghai, saying that he was going to Hong Kong to handle business matters and visit his parents.
He told Gu Yan his decision and asked Gu Yan to take care of the house and contact him by radio if anything happened after he arrived in the mountain city.
Gu Yan was a little worried that the time might be too tight. It was not that he did not believe in Yuan Ye's ability, but after all, the time was too short. Giving him only one month was too difficult.
But since Yuan Ye had made up his mind, he couldn't say anything.
Without further ado, Yuan Ye asked Su Xiwu for leave early the next morning, saying that he was going to Hong Kong to visit his parents and deal with some business matters, which would probably take about ten days to half a month.
He spoke, and Su Xiwu couldn't disagree. Yuan Ye greeted Iwai Yuichi again. Iwai Yuichi also knew that Yuan Ye was doing business, so he didn't say anything and asked him to go early and come back early.
Yuan Ye naturally also had to tell Tokugawa Mitsuko. When Mitsuko heard that he was going out for such a long time, she was of course reluctant to let him go. She wanted Yuan Ye to take him with him, but Yuan Ye said it was inconvenient and did not agree to take her.
When Guangzi heard this, she guessed that Yuan Ye must have something important to tell her, so she didn't say anything else. She just asked him to be careful on the way and she would wait for him to come back.
She sent Yuan Ye to the ferry terminal, watched Yuan Ye board the ship to Hong Kong, and only left reluctantly after watching the ship set sail.
