Chapter 1040 Is he the head of the Shadow Bureau or Chu Xi?

Chapter 1040 Is he the head of the Shadow Bureau or Chu Xi?

Xiang Chu pretended not to hear and continued to mutter to Dai Nong:

"Brother Dai! Quickly control Ren Jie."

Dai Nong nodded and said, "Hurry up and get on stage. I'll find someone to arrest Ren Jie."

After saying this, he picked up the teacup, stood up and left the meeting room.

Xiang Chu also stood up with him and was about to walk towards the podium.

But Chen Guo loudly accused: "Chu Xi! Didn't you hear me asking you to go on stage?"

Xiang Chu pointed at Chen Guo forcefully and angrily said:

"Who are you? Do I need you to take care of me?"

Chu Xi was so powerful that everyone in the conference room was stunned.

Chen Guo was so angry that he stood up suddenly, but was pulled down by Xu Zengqiang.

Xiang Chu came on stage, his hands unnaturally reaching to his waist, pretending to grasp a knife, but he grasped nothing.

Zeng Yun saw this action.

Zeng Yun thought to himself, "Chu Xi is dead, and the one who replaced him is indeed the head of the Shadow Agency. This action cannot be faked."

Xiang Chu came up to the stage, without even looking at Ning Caiwei, nor giving instructions to Minister He and others, and sat straight down in his seat, appearing arrogant and rude.

Minister He frowned as he watched, and several other senior officials shook their heads.

Ning Caiwei rolled her eyes at Xiang Chu, then began to preside over the meeting and start a debate.

On the rostrum, an old and respected official coughed twice and said bluntly:

"Everyone! I used to advocate resistance. But now the Japanese army has reached Chongqing's doorstep, and Britain, France and other countries have cooperated with them to block the passage from Burma, Vietnam and Hong Kong to our country. What else can we do but surrender?"

Chen Guo echoed, "Yes! Elder Lin is right. It is better not to fight now. If we continue to fight, we will surely perish."

Xu Zeng smiled bitterly and said, "According to intelligence, after the Japanese occupied Yichang, they began to vigorously build an airport and will carry out carpet bombing on Chongqing. What other options do we have but to surrender?"

Many people agreed, and in the huge conference room, the surrender faction was rampant for a while.

The voices of rebuttal were also very strong, but they could not catch up with the capitulationists, who were fully prepared.

Minister He and others on the rostrum all shook their heads. The most undesirable thing is for the top leaders to have thoughts of surrender.

Xiang Chu echoed loudly, "Mr. Lin! Chen Guo! What you said just now is very good. Why don't you two take the lead and lead those who are willing to surrender to Nanjing or Tokyo and surrender to Lao Wang or the Fuso people."

The old man surnamed Lin and his supporters immediately fell silent. This was fine to say during a debate, but it could not be said on the table when it came to actual action.

Zeng Yun deliberately retorted: "Mr. Chu! Our army still has the strength to fight, why should we surrender to the devils?"

Xiang Chu rolled his eyes at him and said in a cold voice: "Minister Zeng! If so many high-ranking officials surrendered, can we who stayed behind take their place? Moreover, their mansions, properties, assets, etc. can also be divided among us. Their salaries can also support a large number of displaced people. Why not do it?"

Zeng Yun was shocked by his idea and deliberately provoked him, saying, "Mr. Chu! How can you make Senior Lin and others feel embarrassed?"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Minister Zeng! Since Senior Lin and others have chosen to surrender, they will naturally get everything they want from the Fuso people. Why should we worry about them? We must firmly support their surrender."

Zeng Yun felt that this was his voice, and nodded, "Yes! We must firmly support it."

"Chu Xi! You......"

The old man surnamed Lin pointed at Xiang Chu and shouted angrily, shaking with anger.

Chen Guo said coldly: "Chu Xi! Stop spitting blood at us. When did we ever say we would surrender to the devils?"

This repetition showed that his thinking was disordered, and everyone shook their heads as they listened.

Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Don't! Surrendering to the Fuso people is not what you and Old Lin think. You must dare to think and act."

The old man surnamed Lin was so angry that he yelled: "I dare to think of you!"

Because he was too angry, he suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and fell headfirst onto the conference table on the podium.

Ning Caiwei said to the military police major at the door: "Jiang Yong! Call the doctor over quickly."

"Yes!"

Jiang Yong hurriedly took the order and called two military police.

The old man surnamed Lin was carried away by the military police, and the surrender faction lost its backbone and stopped talking.

Xiang Chu unintentionally resolved the surrender crisis of Chongqing’s top leaders.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two gunshots suddenly rang out outside, shocking everyone in the conference room.

Xiang Chu guessed that there was some problem in the arrest of Ren Jie by Dainong.

At this time, Dai Nong hurried into the meeting room.

His face was not good, and he shook his head and said, "Everyone! My secretary was assassinated by a Japanese spy at the gate just now."

Needless to say, he concealed the truth of the matter.

Minister He hurriedly ordered: "Major Jiang! Take the military police to check the area around the building. Make sure no one slips through the net."

"Yes!"

Jiang Yong hurriedly accepted the order.

Minister He said sternly: "Everyone! Today we have given you an opportunity to speak freely, but the higher-ups will never surrender to the devils. Anyone who dares to talk about surrender in the future will be severely punished. Dismissed!"

When everyone had dispersed, Dai Nong walked up to Xiang Chu and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Xiang! I just saved my life."

Xiang Chu asked doubtfully: "Did the assassin just try to kill you and Ren Jie at the same time?"

Dai Nong nodded and said, "Yes! Fortunately, I was on guard and I escaped by luck."

Xiang Chu asked anxiously: "Did you see who the assassin was?"

Dai Nong said thoughtfully: "It felt like it was a woman. She shot very quickly and accurately. She hit Ren Jie's forehead with one shot, and the one that shot me just grazed my scalp."

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you go back to the bureau after you controlled Ren Jie? Wouldn't it be better to interrogate him here directly?"

Dai Nong said angrily, "Brother! If I were to have the trial at the Political Department, wouldn't I be completely embarrassed?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "That's right! But Ren Jie must not be hiding alone. If he dies today, it will be difficult to catch his accomplices."

Dai Nong sighed, "Alas! I never thought that the secretary beside me would be a Japanese spy."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say! Ren Jie's situation is rather special. Maybe he was threatened by a Japanese spy."

Zeng Yun’s residence, underground secret room.

Zeng Yun and Qing Mu Lianhua both looked very unhappy.

Qing Mu Lianhua said with lingering fear: "Today, in order to eliminate Ren Jie, I almost got exposed."

Zeng Yun nodded and said, "I didn't expect Dai Nong to be so cunning that he actually realized that Ren Jie wanted to harm him."

Qing Mu Lian Hua said thoughtfully: "It's not that he is cunning! It's that someone reminded him in time."

Zeng Yun asked anxiously: "Who would be the one who reminded him?"

Qing Mu Lianhua said bitterly: "The head of the Shadow Bureau! Or should I say Lord Chu Chuxi. I still don't understand, is he the head of the Shadow Bureau or Chuxi?"

Zeng Yun concluded: "I think it's the director of the Shadow Bureau."

Qing Mu Lianhua said seriously: "Tell me your reasons!"

Zeng Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I observed carefully in the conference room today. Chu Xi is dead, and the one who replaced him is the head of the Shadow Agency. If you don't believe it, you might as well ask Doihara Xian'er about the characteristics of the head of the Shadow Agency."

Qing Mu Lian Hua nodded and said, "Okay! In my name, call Doihara Kan'er to ask about the characteristics of the Shadow Agency chief."

"Yes!"

Zeng Yun hurriedly took the order and sent a telegram to Doihara Ken'er.

Not long after, I received a reply from Doihara Kan'er:

"Ms. Aoki! You should care about me, the general, instead of the womanizing head of the shadow agency. I was almost killed by a Chinese assassin today."
