When Li Zhiqun heard Ren Manshan's words, he was stunned. Didn't he let him go? What does Ren Manshan run here tonight mean?

Ren Manshan ignored Li Zhiqun's surprised gaze, took out a bank note from his bag beside him, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it to Li Zhiqun.

Li Zhiqun reached out and took it over and saw that it was a promissory note from Japanese gold bank, with a total of 50,000 US dollars. Now the US dollar rate on the market is rising steadily, and this money is definitely a huge sum of money.

But Li Zhiqun said, it was obviously not enough to exchange this money for Wan Mulin.

Sure enough, Ren Manshan continued: "Of course, this is just a meeting ceremony. The special envoy sent by Yue Sheng was named Si Guangyuan. This man is very smart. He just begs your subordinates to show mercy and don't torture Wan Mulin anymore.

After all, he was very clear that with the current situation, Wan Mulin could not be released like this. I also explained it to him clearly. Only by ensuring that Wan Mulin will take care of him during his time at the agent headquarters. As long as you leave the agent headquarters, you will not have to be responsible."

It turned out that Si Guangyuan and Ren Manshan had a long time of secret talk. Even if the price of Si Guangyuan was high, Ren Manshan would bite him to death and refused to agree. After all, the consequences were too serious. Ren Manshan was not yet at the point of asking for money but not being dead.

Finally, after Si Guangyuan repeatedly begged, Ren Manshan proposed a compromise solution, which is to drag the case down as much as possible, avoid the current limelight, and when the storm subsides, everyone's attention will be no longer paying attention.

"Zhiqun, Si Guangyuan has actually told me very clearly. Gao Tao and the others left Shanghai on the night of the incident. Now they are in Hong Kong. Even if you interrogate Wan Mulin again, it is useless. Why bother to spend this effort? So I think, just sell them for favors. Yue Sheng is a man with great hands and eyes and great powers. It's better not to offend people to death. What do you think?"

Ren Manshan's words made Li Zhiqun stand up all of a sudden. He interrogated Wan Mulin in the past two days in order to find out the specific whereabouts of Gao Tao and the others as soon as possible.

If you really don’t live in Shanghai now, then all your efforts will be in vain.

He asked unwillingly, "Can you be sure what he said is true?"

Ren Manshan took out another photo from his bag and handed it to Li Zhiqun.

Li Zhiqun hurriedly took it and looked at it. He was stunned. The photo was a photo of Gao Tao and the other two. The background was a dock dock with four big words written on Dongjiang dock, and there was an English sign next to it. Li Zhiqun sighed secretly. It seemed that the other party was not lying, and Gao Tao and the other two were already in Hong Kong.

Li Zhiqun's aura suddenly blew, and the lucky intention that had been around these days was completely shattered.

Ren Manshan looked at Li Zhiqun's disappointed expression and knew that he had believed his words. So he spoke again: "I saw this photo and agreed to his request. Anyway, things are irreversible. If you hurt Wan Mulin's life again, you also know that Wan Mulin is important to Yue Sheng, and that's it. Yue Sheng will definitely retaliate against you at all costs. You said, why bother?"

Ren Manshan said the truth. If Wan Mulin really died at the hands of Li Zhiqun, Yue Sheng would inevitably retaliate against Li Zhiqun.

Li Zhiqun didn't say anything and walked slowly around the room. He knew that Gao Tao and the others could no longer recover, so the value of Wan Mulin was reduced by half. The rest was to investigate his connection with the Shanghai Intelligence Department. However, what I valued most in intelligence work was the concealment and effectiveness of intelligence.

But now, the arrest of Wan Mulin has caused a lot of controversy, and both China and Japan are paying special attention. You can imagine that the Shanghai Intelligence Department, which is in contact with Wan Mulin, has heard the news at this time, and it must have been cut off the connection between the two, so it is difficult for me to gain anything more.

Especially since he was already entangled with the Military Control Bureau and was tired of dealing with it, if Yue Sheng intervened again, with his influence and potential in Shanghai for many years, his life would definitely be difficult.

You should know that most of his subordinates are disciples of the Qing Gang. Yue Sheng has been in charge of the Shanghai Qing Gang for many years. These Qing Gang disciples are inevitably involved with him. If this is the case, it will be a big trouble for him and the No. 76 Agent Headquarters.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhiqun finally nodded and said, "Okay, then let Wan Mulin be together, but you and that one..."

"Si Guangyuan!"

"Yes, Si Guangyuan, you have to make it clear to him. When Wan Mulin is in my hands, I can guarantee that I will no longer use torture and will treat him preferential treatment. But after all, I am holding the Japanese's job. Once the Japanese pursue it, or interrogate Wan Mulin, I will be powerless!"

Ren Manshan laughed and said, "That's true, I will naturally explain this to him clearly. Also, do you know whose guidance Si Guangyuan was found me?"

Li Zhiqun was stunned and looked at Ren Manshan in confusion.

"It's Zhou Fushan! Didn't you expect it?" Ren Manshan said softly. He is also an old fox who has been practicing for many years. He has extremely rich experience in the officialdom. "Zhou Fushan may not have any kind intentions to push this God of Wealth to me, so I have considered it again and again. It is impossible to let someone go directly."

When Li Zhiqun heard this, he couldn't help but curse: "This old fox! I'm afraid I'm going to bite me again!"

Speaking of this, he became nervous and asked again: "Brother Manshan, do you think this matter will be risky?"

Ren Manshan waved his hand and smiled: "We don't really want to release Wanmulin. Everything depends on the development of the situation. Moreover, I heard that during this period, the Japanese and Mr. Wang are actively preparing for a new negotiation and talks, especially the reform government and the temporary government in North China. They are now busy and may not think of this Wanmulin in a short period of time."

Li Zhiqun was stunned when he heard this and quickly asked, "Are you serious about this?"

Li Zhiqun presided over the work of a secret agent. Although he has great power, his status in the pseudo-government is not high, and it is difficult to get in touch with high-level decisions and has no knowledge of the tripartite talks.

So Ren Manshan told Li Zhiqun in detail about what he knew, and finally said again: "This talk is very important. The new government has discussed it many times. Mr. Wang has devoted a lot of effort to it and put in a lot of effort. His previous trip to North China was to lay the groundwork for this matter. Now all three parties have their own plans and want to eat more, especially the North China is very strong and is unwilling to make any concessions. As far as I know, the final talks are likely not in Nanjing and Shanghai, but in North China!"

"Wouldn't that be the one who wants to take over the main people?" Li Zhiqun asked in surprise.

"So! Mr. Wang had a headache about this. The last time he talked to me, he was still angry. I don't think he would take a small Wan Mulin seriously at all. As long as he survives this period, things will turn around."

Speaking of this, Ren Manshan lowered his voice and raised a finger: "Si Guangyuan promised to give at least another number!"

The meaning is very obvious, at least 100,000 US dollars. From this we can see that Yue Sheng did not care about the cost in order to rescue Wan Berlin!

Li Zhiqun thought about it, thought clearly about the interests, and finally said, "Then let it be. The future will depend on the situation. To be honest, Brother Manshan, I don't expect to earn his money. The new government is fine, but I can make excuses.

But the Japanese have always been rigorous in their work, especially Wan Mulin and the Shanghai Intelligence Department. The Japanese have always regarded the Shanghai Intelligence Department as a disaster and a fierce enemy of life and death. They will never let this clue go easily. You tell Si Guangyuan that if you really want to rescue people, you should make arrangements early. In short, if the Yingzuo agency does not nod, I will never let people go here, and everything will be empty!"

Li Zhiqun could see clearly, and in the end he would definitely not make up for it. He could only open up the joints of the Shadow Sovereign mechanism, otherwise Wan Mulin would not be able to escape.

The two of them discussed it and Ren Manshan then said goodbye and left, and sent Ren Manshan away. Li Zhiqun returned to the room, looked at the bank note on the table, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and put it aside.

Then I picked up the photo and looked at it for a long time before I took out the matchbox, lit a match, led the photo to the flame, watched it slowly ignite, and finally threw it in the ashtray until it burned into ashes.

After that, Li Zhiqun ordered Wan Mulin to be transferred to the dormitory in the backyard of the agent headquarters to be placed in the dormitory, and sent military doctors to recuperate him and no longer interrogate him. The case was put on hold.

However, these performances made Cui Yuanfeng, who was in charge of surveillance, was a little confused. He could not determine the true situation and immediately reported to Luo Xingchao.

Luo Xingchao was also unaware of the problem, so he could only report the specific situation to the upwards. Ning Zhiheng was a little uncertain when he received the report. He couldn't figure out whether Wan Mulin was favored by Li Zhiqun because he opened his mouth or because someone did the work.

However, these are not important anymore. Chai Liang, the only one who has something to do with Wan Mulin, has already evacuated his post. Even if Wan Mulin opened his mouth, it would not pose any threat to the Shanghai Intelligence Department. Ning Zhiheng put this matter aside for the time being.

Time passed by little by little. It was already mid-January in 1940, and the time for the three-party talks of the pseudo-government was getting closer. In the intense preparations, everyone seemed to have left the previous things behind, as if it was just a small wave that was rising in the flowing river, and calm was soon restored.

Ning Zhiheng was also calculating the time and preparing in advance. During this period, Kyosa Yushu took a break from his busy schedule. He came to Mulan Club several times to talk with Ning Zhiheng, and told him to go to Qingdao together on the 21st and ask him to make early work arrangements.

At the same time, in the office of Nanwu Library, He Siming also reported to Ning Zhiheng about some recent work situations.
