Chapter 657 Dai Yunong Goes Too Far

As Wang Yan said, it was not easy for Mao Qiwu to meet him face to face. His goal was too big. Even if others did not know what Mao Qiwu looked like, he was the new generation leader of the Green Gang. Who could sit and talk with him? If he was seen, he would always be investigated. Once he was investigated, Mao Qiwu could not hide.

And Mao Qiwu had a very high status. He was Dai Yunong's spokesperson. This time he secretly sneaked into Shanghai, which was basically equivalent to the Minister of the Kipchak. If he died in Shanghai or was caught, the result could be imagined. That's why Wang Yan said that the Shanghai Intelligence Station of the Military Control Commission would not have a good result.

This meeting was arranged by Wang Tianfeng. It was not very clever. After all, Wang Yan basically had no time to be alone, and the meeting place arranged could not violate Wang Yan's original living habits. After all, Wang Yan's goal was too big, and his life trajectory could be traced. It was almost the same every day, and there was nothing new. Although the Japanese no longer paid so much attention and surveillance, they would still know about any abnormal situation at the first time. That night, Wang Manchun would come to him to ask about the situation.

The most relaxed time for Wang Yan during the day is in the morning. Because the breakfast shop he often goes to, called Hao Zai Lai, is not very high-end, the breakfast he approves of is naturally very delicious, with a large flow of people, some take-away and some dine-in. Now that it is not cold, there are many tables outside the store, which are scattered and arranged very closely.

Wang Yan is a gangster leader, but not a real gangster. With his status and position, he should not show off his power to the people. Even if he really wants to persecute an innocent person, he must be a great good man in the eyes of this innocent person. Moreover, he himself is not that kind of person. He has always stood on the side of the people. He has experienced a lot, no matter what his identity is, this has never changed. Whether he is an emperor, a gangster, a businessman, or something else with certain professional ability and holding some power that ordinary people cannot get, what he does is to benefit the majority.

So when Wang Yan walks outside every day, he doesn't have so many things to do. How many meters around a meal can't there be people?

The next morning, Qi Si drove Wang Yan and Yu Manli to this Hao Zai Lai breakfast shop. It tastes good, and there are many people here. Seeing Wang Yan coming, many people greeted Wang Yan with a smile. He has a good reputation. After all, he never bullies them.

Wang Yan smiled all the way, entered the store, greeted the boss, and took Yu Manli to the innermost table, where there were already people. He said politely: "Gentlemen, Wang is used to this position. I have just greeted the boss. Your breakfast is mine. Please give Wang a convenience and change the seat."

"You are polite. We will leave now." One of them said, and greeted people to carry things to other adjacent tables, and moved the table a little further away to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Qi Si did not follow in, but took a few baskets of buns and sent them to the little beggar not far away. As long as there is no excessive communication, there is still nothing to be afraid of, because this is Wang Yan's virtue. Then he sat outside to eat and watched the car. As for protecting Wang Yan, he really didn't need him. Occasionally, when Wang Yan was in a good mood, he would fight with him and beat him so hard that he lost his mind and couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes...

Wang Yan and Yu Manli had just sat down when the shop assistant came over to wipe the table diligently, and then put all the food on the table, no matter what it was, whatever was available in the shop and ready. In a blink of an eye, the table was full.

"Zi Yan still has such a good appetite..."

The voice came from the window separated by a not-so-thick wall. Wang Yan was not surprised at all. When they came just now, they had confirmed their eyes. This person was the chief secretary of the Military Control Commission, Mao Qiwu, who was scheduled to meet this time. In order to ensure safety and prevent the conversation from being leaked, the tables around them were occupied, with seven or eight people, all of whom were from the Military Control Commission.

Mao Qiwu was wearing a black gown, with a square face, big eyes, a crew cut, ugly glasses, and a thick fake beard. He was eating wontons with his head down, and he wanted to not stand out. He actually looks pretty good, handsome.

Since ancient times, officials have been required to have regular facial features. Good-looking is not good, but ugly is definitely not. After all, ugly looks affect the senses. Even if you have an official position, it is almost impossible to climb to a high position. Just like the legendary Zhong Kui, who originally did very well in the imperial examination and was invited to the palace for an audience, but he looked strange and was not assigned the position he should have. He was humiliated and committed suicide.

Therefore, at this time, among the vast group of officials who are not ugly, it is very common to see some strong and handsome people. This is not to mention the background, which is inherited from ancestors. Fat heads and big ears, fat brains and fat intestines are things that come later, after all, the officials are too comfortable...

Sitting opposite Mao Qiwu is Wang Tianfeng, the operations chief of the Shanghai station. In front of Mao Qiwu, he is like a little lamb. The power he played in the play is not seen at all. He just eats his meal with big mouthfuls and doesn't even look at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan replied with a smile: "Brother Mao is still so energetic."

They met last year. Dai Yunong sent him to cooperate with the operation, but he refused and did not participate. He also gave a sum of money to save his life. He has been cooperating with Dai Yunong for more than two years, when he was still in the Nanjing government.

"Okay, time is urgent. Let's stop chatting and get straight to the point." Mao Qiwu smiled, continued to eat the food on the table, lowered his head and said: "The matter of the Youth League is clear. I understand the conflict between you and Du Yong. , Director Dai is also paying attention to this matter. In any case, Du Yong is a veteran who has been famous for a long time. Now, due to the situation, he has to temporarily avoid Hong Kong. What you, a rising star, did is a bit unethical. "

Dai Yunong is the deputy director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and there is another director. However, as the deputy director, he took the deputy position mainly because of his lack of qualifications. But in fact, he holds absolute power over the military.

Wang Yan said: "He is older than me, but we are of the same generation. Did he follow Director Dai's path and send Brother Mao here as a lobbyist?"

"Yes, and no. I know that Feng Nairong and others begged you for the establishment of the Youth League. But these people are all meritorious people, and you may have forced them too much."

"Brother Mao's words are unfair. It has been nearly four months since the Youth League was established. During this process, except for asking them to add an additional four million US dollars, I have done nothing, and I have not even had much involvement in the bank's affairs. It was Du Yong who overreacted and fled to Hong Kong but was reluctant to let go. He was afraid that I would undermine his Qing Gang roots and keep going against me. I didn't believe that he didn't know it was the Japanese who did it. You want me to give you an explanation? He is definitely not a man of ambition, he is just a villain fighting for power. Is he also in Shanghai?"

"How dare he come back? The Japanese want his life, and you are making trouble for him. There is no place for him in Shanghai."

"He knows this, so he's not an old fool. Why doesn't he give up and insists on getting in trouble with me? Forget it, he even dragged Director Dai into it. Brother Mao has worked so hard to make this trip, so why bother?"

"Zi Yan, there is no point in talking about this between us. You know what you have planned, I know it, and Director Dai also knows it. I know that you have always been on your own, but the current situation is extremely dangerous and the country will be destroyed. Even if you stay To gain life and keep power and wealth is to lose one's family. In the position you are in now, if you don't do anything, it is just a matter of blocking the road. Besides, Du Yong is already fifty, and he was very effective when he was in Songhu. You can't let him fail in the future. Are you here?"

Mao Qiwu shook his head: "He went to Director Dai, but he didn't ask me to come over and make peace, but he proposed to use the Youth Gang to form a People's Action Committee and merge it into the Shanghai Unification Committee to establish a subsidiary department. , to unite the vast number of anti-Japanese comrades and coordinate the anti-Japanese work behind enemy lines. Director Dai will serve as the director of the committee and lead the People's Action Committee. Du Yong and some newly sent people to perform tasks will serve as committee members and act as agents of the committee's specific affairs. "

It was only at this point that it became clear that Du Yong, an old boy, couldn't defeat Wang Yan, so he turned to the military commander, and perhaps other people, to facilitate such a thing. Of course, he must have paid a lot of money. Dai Yunong is also greedy and lustful. In addition, this matter can be regarded as a political achievement and can show his face to the bald man. After all, this is to give full play to his subjective initiative and actively explore new ways to save the country and the people.

This is a serious national and national event and has great righteousness. Du Yong found the key very well. Wang Yan was afraid of the Kuomintang and the assassination from the military commander. In addition, his behavior was consistent in not blocking others from resisting Japan and not causing trouble to others. In this way, it would be impossible for him to continue to force Feng Nairong and others to devour Du Yong's foundation step by step.

The trick wasn't very clever, but it was very effective. It made Wang Yan unable to make any progress and suffered the loss of being dumb. At least that's how it seemed.

Wang Yan continued to eat with a smile, and even made some buns for Yu Manli, who didn't dare to eat. But he didn't say anything to show his displeasure. No one would be happy if he ignored this matter. Dai Yunong was bullying others too much.

Of course Mao Qiwu also knew that there were some bullies. He added some jealousy to the small dish and continued: "The Youth League was established because they were unable to resist the Japanese and the Youth Gang who had taken refuge with the Japanese. But you can do it Judging from the current situation in Shanghai, only you can do it. So what Director Dai means is that you will continue to be the chairman of the Youth League, and you will have the final say in all bank affairs. They are only waiting for dividends. . As for the rest, forget it, stop targeting Feng Nairong and the others. If you really annex them and become the dominant family, then you will have two choices, either surrender to the Japanese or die.

I know that you are neither reliable nor helpful. Don't worry, they will never cause trouble for you, and they will never use you as a shield. If something happens to them, it is their own behavior and has nothing to do with you. In other words, from now on, the Youth League is the Youth League and the Youth League Bank is the Youth League Bank. Of course, you and I both know that it is not easy to really break away from the relationship, and there will definitely be some trouble. They won't let you suffer a loss. This time they added four million, of which two million are yours. You can withdraw it directly.

The shares in the bank are still distributed according to the current shares, and you still hold the 20% shares. In this way, the total value of the bank is 12.5 million, and your shares are 2.5 million. These 2.5 million, including the 150,000 you invested before, are all yours. No matter what, they recognize the money. Qinglian Bank has so much capital to build a branch in the Kuomintang-controlled area. Director Dai will also help, and you will make money in the future. Zi Yan, what do you think? "

While speaking, Mao Qiwu had turned his head and looked at Wang Yan with a smile.

Wang Yan also smiled and met his eyes, then turned to look at Wang Tianfeng who was also looking at him, and then glanced at the other tables. Although those people did not look towards him, he could already feel the murderous intention. Locked up, this is to treat him as a traitor and hoe him.

Yu Manli was keenly aware that something was wrong. She looked up at the situation carefully, met Wang Tianfeng's glance, and quickly lowered her head to eat. She understood that if Wang Yan did not agree, he would die here today.

The main reason for this situation is actually Wang Yan's unreliable character. It was just because he didn't block the way before, but instead spent a lot of money to ask for directions. But now, with Du Yong's suggestion, he was blocking the way and was a bit of an eyesore.

Indeed, he cannot leave the Youth League because the Youth League needs him to deal with the Japanese. But now it has reached this point. If he disagrees, that means he is not cooperating. But Dai Yunong's will has been passed down, and the People's Action Committee must be established. So even though it may have some impact and many more people may die, he must be killed to avoid more trouble in the future.

After all, Wang Yan's own power is tyrannical. If Dai Yunong supports Du Yong this time, he will be offended to death. Let him leave alive and just flip the table and join the Japanese, and that would be the end of it. If two powers benefit each other, which one is more important, and if two powers harm each other, which one is less important, how can Wang Yan not die?

Of course, if he really leaned to a certain side, he might not survive until this time, and there was nothing he could do about it.

When dealing with a complicated situation and you are not sure how to deal with it, just take a shot first and see the reaction. Now, he was getting the first possible shot to his head.

Dai Yunong is really a dog. He received a lot of money from Wang Yan before, and everyone has always been very friendly. Now he is blocking the road a little bit, and Du Yong doesn't know what price he paid to have a very high-ranking person just by his name. Suggestion, this guy's face changed immediately. Relying on the identity of the director, Bald's favor, and the power of his subordinates, he didn't pay a penny. He just took out the money that Wang Yan already had at his fingertips and gave it to him, and then asked him to take the blame. If you don't agree, you will be killed directly.

Dai Yunong is bullying others too much...

Wang Yan let out a long sigh: "Brother Mao, this is too much!"

"There is no other way. The situation is forced and the military order is in hand. I have no choice but to do it. Don't blame me." Mao Qiwu also sighed and shook his head, then asked in an aggravated voice: "Zi Yan, what do you think? Sample?"

"Brother Mao, aren't you afraid that I will pretend to agree and defect to the Japanese?"

"I believe in you, and Director Dai also believes in you. We all know that you don't want to be a dog for the Japanese, and you don't want to harm your compatriots. You have a Chinese heart that holds the country and the nation."

I don’t want to be treated like a dog by the Japanese, but Dai Yunong doesn’t treat him like a human either…

Wang Yan sneered, shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "The two million in the bank is mine. Let them raise another two million to give me. This is life-saving money for me and the Japanese. If their behavior is exposed, , I will not hide it from the Japanese. You know, Brother Mao, I have no secrets, and I can't keep them. You are in Chongqing, and the mountains are high and the roads are far away, but I am on the beach in Shanghai. The Japanese gun was always on my head.

So when the time comes, I will tell them exactly what happened today. If you guys are not being secretive and let the news slip, I will tell them tonight. Therefore, Brother Mao, it is better to leave Shanghai as soon as possible, otherwise things will change if it is too late. "

"Okay, it's settled. Ziyan, see you later."

Mao Qiwu didn't refute, he just wanted some money, and he didn't have to pay. He could even tell the group of people to ask for three million. He also knew that they were the ones bullying Wang Yan today. If they pushed further and bargained, they would really force Wang Yan to defect to the Japanese. Even if Wang Yan was killed now, it would be difficult for them. At that time, let alone the People's Action Committee, they were still talking about whether Mao Qiwu could walk out of Shanghai.

Wang Yan hummed, said nothing, and continued eating.

Wang Tianfeng waved to the waiter, settled the bill for the table, and then the two of them left first. The remaining few people also checked out and left one after another within more than ten minutes, merged into the crowd, and disappeared.

Until then, Yu Manli looked around carefully, let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at Wang Yan with apologetic eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't know they wanted to kill you."

"What are you sorry for? Even without you, Wang Tianfeng will find a way to notify me, and I will still come to see Mao Qiwu, and it will still be the same situation just now. Isn't this the way this world is, no one is indispensable , anyone can die, at any time.”

Seeing that Wang Yan was still smiling, Yu Manli recalled the previous situation and asked curiously: "Aren't you most afraid of death? Or did you think of today's situation yesterday?"

"I just told you yesterday that you should be calm every time something big happens, and you forgot about it just one night? You have to understand that what can be solved can be solved, and what can't be solved can't be solved."

Wang Yan shook his head and sighed helplessly: "I am not a god, and human hearts are so complicated and unpredictable. How can I foresee the future and make every possible plan? I am indeed afraid of death, but I have room for choice. You sat close, and you heard Mao Qiwu's words clearly. He only asked me if I agreed. If I agreed, I would make money. If I disagreed, I would die. So why should I hesitate? Of course I agreed. At most, I would ask for more money. Anyway, the money was not from Mao Qiwu, let alone Dai Yunong. What does it matter?

Although I was indeed bullied, I was just a small Chinese detective, a gangster leader with some brothers under him, and a businessman with some money. I just showed off my power in this small piece of land in Shanghai. What am I in front of Dai Yunong, the head of the Military Control Bureau? If he is in a good mood and smiles, I have to accompany him. If he is in a bad mood and wants to take my power and life, I have to bear it. What else can I do? I have lived to this day, and my brain is one thing, some skills are another, but more importantly, I can bend and stretch. "

"So when the crisis really comes, you will not hesitate to surrender to the Japanese?"

"Of course, as the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. But I have said many times that I will never make things difficult for the two parties. Look, this time it was just a simple blockage, and it almost cost me my life. If I go against them directly, what will happen to me? A man of insight is a hero..."

"You still see clearly, the living I understand."

"How can I really understand?" Wang Yan waved his hand: "Okay, let's eat quickly. You are like a little hot pepper on weekdays. You dare not raise your head in front of Mao Qiwu. Wang Tianfeng's eyes scared you like a quail. You dare not chew the rice in your mouth. It's too bad."

"What can I do? They want to kill you. I am their subordinate. They also control my promotion. How can I not be afraid? It's really a miserable life. You said that I am a weak woman who is alone and helpless, but I joined the Military Control Commission. If I could really be a Chinese teacher in an elementary school, how good it would be."

"Don't dream, I rarely have freedom, and you, a soldier working in the front, want to go to heaven? Unless..."

"Unless they are really driven away Japanese, is the war over?"

"End? How can it be that easy? There is still the Red Party. What? Look down on them? That's hard to say. There is a poem you should have heard. Standing alone in the cold autumn, the Xiangjiang River flows north, at the head of Orange Island..."

"Look at the mountains all red, the forests all dyed... Feeling melancholy and desolate, asking the vast earth, who is in charge of the rise and fall? "Wang Yan just started, and Yu Manli continued to recite the rest of the poem: "Just like a schoolmate, we are in our prime... Do you remember, we went to the middle of the stream to swim, and the waves stopped the flying boat!"

"Yes, it is this poem. Pointing out the mountains and rivers, inspiring words, and despising the marquis of the past. Asking the vast earth, who is in charge of the rise and fall? What a great spirit..."

Yu Manli felt the poem and wondered why Wang Yan thought the Red Party would be the opponent of the Kuomintang.

Wang Yan ignored her and looked out the window.

Qi Si was eating at a table with two workers. He was not shy and chatted with them. The little beggar in the distance, and several more people were waiting for Wang Yan's remaining breakfast. Pedestrians were hurrying on the street, the tram had already started working, and the cars were honking and releasing exhaust gas.

The murderous intention of this delicious breakfast shop disappeared in the fireworks of the world, it just hid...
