At this time, Zhuang Chongxian was quite complacent. Li Shiqun died, No. 76 collapsed, and the puppet government's intelligence system was undergoing an unprecedented shakeup. Among them, the one who benefited the most was the former Leng Yamen, Military Intelligence Department. The head of the Military Intelligence Department was just a decoration before, but this time he wisely applied for retirement and gave up the top position to Zhuang Chongxian. After this turmoil, the Secret Service Headquarters has lost its power, and some industries have been transferred to the Military Intelligence Department. Under his name, his family wealth has become stronger, and he has more people. Everything is developing in a situation that is favorable to Zhuang Chongxian.

However, none of this can satisfy the current appetite of Zhuang Chongxian. Zhuang Chongxian believes in the saying that people go to higher places. If they don't advance, they will retreat. He is different from people like Zhou Fohai, Tang Shengming and Ding Mocun. These people have been flirting with Chongqing for many years. The purpose of secretly communicating with each other was to leave a way out for himself. After the collapse of the Japanese, he could continue to be a high-ranking official with generous salaries and wealth. But Zhuang Chongxian was different. From this point of view, he was quite similar to the dead Li Shiqun. There was some sympathy for each other. He and Li Shiqun could have contact with Jiang in Chongqing, but they also knew Jiang's personality. Once the war was over, no matter how much they begged for mercy, the result would be the confiscation of their families and the annihilation of their clans. Therefore, towards Zhuang Chongxian From a perspective, all cooperation with Chongqing is nothing more than a cloud. It is better to seize the time now to seize the most resources, control the most power, and gain a chance of survival for ourselves.

My destiny is up to me and not up to God.

Because of this, Zhuang Chongxian couldn't wait to attack Lin Xiaotang as soon as the situation in the Military Intelligence Department stabilized.

There are three reasons why he attacked Lin Xiaotang. First, Zhuang Chongxian had long suspected that Lin Xiaotang was the channel for Zhou Fohai, Tang Shengming and others to communicate with Chongqing. Cutting off this channel meant that Zhou Fohai and others had no foreign aid; second, Lin Xiaotang The strength of gangs in Shanghai he mastered was really attractive. Although he was not from a serious gang, after Zhang Xiaolin's death, Wan Molin gradually retreated to the background, and Du Yuesheng also began to turn a blind eye to gang affairs in Shanghai. On the contrary, it was Lin Xiaotang, an outsider, who gradually controlled all the gangs in Shanghai. Even the Thirteen Taibao were willing to obey his orders. Without the support of the gang, where would the information come from? How could it be said that it was possible to control Shanghai, or not to control Shanghai? , how can he be qualified to win a place in the government? Third, the rise of Lin Xiaotang has constituted a threat to the Military Intelligence Department. In the past, there was a secret service headquarters fighting with Lin Xiaotang. Zhuang Chongxian had not felt this threat, but now he is increasingly aware of it. Lin Xiaotang was so wealthy and powerful that he was able to penetrate into all political, military, business and gang circles. With such a figure in the Military Intelligence Department in Shanghai, when would Zhuang Chongxian be able to make his mark?

Therefore, Zhuang Chongxian deliberately approached Kawakami Tadahui and found out that he also had the intention to investigate Lin Xiaotang. He immediately listed the possibility of investigation and arrest to Kawakami Tadahui. Zhuang Chongxian also knew that Yuan Jianfeng and Lin Xiaotang had never been dealt with, and it was impossible to do so. Despite the constraints of this matter, everything seemed to be done flawlessly. No one knew that this idea was actually proposed by him, a former staunch ally of Lin Xiaotang.

What surprised Zhuang Chongxian even more was that Tadayuki Kawakami also revealed to him a high-level secret. Because he suspected that Lin Xiaotang was involved in a spy case in Shanghai a few years ago, Kenji Doihara ordered him to be secretly taken to the Under investigation in Tokyo, Zhuang Chongxian was overjoyed when he heard the news. He personally had no personal grudges with Lin Xiaotang. It was just that Lin Xiaotang blocked his room for growth, just like Li Shiqun back then. However, this time This time was different. God finally opened his eyes. He was taken to Japan for trial. Can he ever come back? When he thought of the power vacuum that appeared in Shanghai after Lin Xiaotang left, Zhuang Chongxian could laugh out of his dreams.

…

Lin Xiaotang looked calmly at Tadaki Kawakami in front of him. It could be seen that he was much more haggard tonight than during the day. As of now, Lin Xiaotang had nothing to fear. He had been arranging the retreat of today's organization a long time ago. Up to now, the key personnel have been well hidden. In terms of industry, the Japanese have taken advantage of the situation. Even the headache of how to get to Japan has been solved. Therefore, Lin Xiaotang's mood suddenly changed. Be happy.

The only thing was Kenji Doihara's intention to send him to Japan. Regarding this, Lin Xiaotang also had a vague guess. It probably wasn't because of Minami Yunko's case and his cooperation with Scarlett on that matter. It was perfect, and the blame was all placed on the Italians. Now the two sides are still arguing. After much thinking, the only thing left that can alarm Kenji Doihara who is far away in Japan is the joint underground party to deliver intelligence. The incident in Shanghai was very involved. Americans, Chinese, British, and Russians were all involved. Many people including An Yiming, Huanyan and his wife, shopkeeper Qian, and British officer David were also involved. He died in the operation, and the Japanese Hidemi Ozaki was the first Japanese arrested. Lin Xiaotang felt that Kenji Doihara would make a fuss about this matter when he investigated him.

After thinking about these things, Lin Xiaotang no longer had any scruples. He simply relaxed and saw what Kawakami Tadayuki would do next.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too awkward. Tadayuki Kawakami coughed twice and finally spoke first, "You can rest assured that your industry and personnel will not be harassed. I will ensure their safety. However, you are going to Tokyo. This It cannot be changed, His Excellency Kenji Doihara will interrogate you personally, I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"Thank you." Lin Xiaotang only said two words.

"Could it be that" Tadayuki Kawakami was surprised, "you have nothing to defend."

Lin Xiaotang smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders, lighting up the cigarette without politeness, "If you want to incriminate yourself, there is no excuse. It's a foregone conclusion. What else can I say? I only have this life now, and it's all in your hands." Here, whether you live or die, it all depends on your thoughts."

Kawakami Tadaki shook his head, "It's not that serious. I can assure you that if you are innocent, I can definitely protect your life. But if you really have a problem, I can also guarantee that I will be the first to do so." I suggest to His Excellency Doi Yuan that you be shot."

Lin Xiaotang smiled and said nothing.

Kawakami Tadaki sighed, "I have already asked your two men to leave. The news of your coming to the special high school has spread throughout Shanghai. In order not to cause trouble, I will arrange for you to take a boat to Japan within two days. During this period, I feel sorry for you to stay here, we will take care of your food, clothing, and daily life, and you can make any requests, but I'm sorry, you can't have any contact with the outside world."

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "I can always get some daily necessities and a change of clothes."

"We will prepare this. Someone will come to help you measure the size of your clothes later. Just tell the guard what you need. I know your Japanese is very good."

Lin Xiaotang found it a little funny that Tadayuki Kawakami was facing a formidable enemy, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Two guards came in to take Lin Xiaotang back to the detention room. Kawakami Tadaki suddenly stopped him and said in Chinese: "There is nothing to do during this time. You can think more about Meiya's feelings. Maybe after a while, she will come back." Local, I hope you two can have a result."

Lin Xiaotang did not look back, "I understand, but don't worry, I won't let her down."

…

"Seventh brother asked me to tell you that you don't have to worry about him. This is an opportunity. You don't have to think about how to get to Japan anymore. Kawakami Tadaki has solved a problem for us." Huoyan said to Shang Zhensheng.

"That's all." Shang Zhensheng slapped his forehead with his hand, "This Youzhong, he didn't take it seriously at all. After all, it is a tiger's den and a wolf's den."

"When we entered the special high school, we were detained separately. Later, Guo Zhui and I were released first, and we were told not to send things or visit. We would be notified of any news." Huoyan was also very worried.

Shang Zhensheng finished smoking a cigarette and said, "Okay, let's not think too much. We will proceed according to Youzhong's previous arrangements. Feng Yunxiu and the others are already in place, and Lei Zhen's troops have also lurked in the Ryukyu area. I will mobilize more manpower. Find a way to sneak into the Japanese island and meet Youzhong at any time. In addition, don’t tell the Nanyang side about this news for the time being. Mr. Dong and your husband are old. Let Shang Zhi be informed privately first and ask him to find opportunities to mobilize the alliance’s relations in Japan. Be prepared to respond."

"Then Guo Zhui and I will go find Lei Zhen."

Shang Zhensheng nodded, "Okay, Lao Shen and I can just watch over here in Shanghai. Now it seems that the Japanese are not making big moves. We can definitely deal with the Military Intelligence Department and No. 76. Besides, there are still strong Yihu and Jodha are here, and they will do the rough work. They are not vegetarians either, so they are more than capable of dealing with these odds and ends."

While he was talking, Jiao Da hurried in and said, "Mr. Shang, what's wrong, Jason is missing."

"What's going on?" Shang Zhensheng's expression changed, "Didn't I ask you to find him, close the bakery first, and then go to the countryside to temporarily avoid the limelight?"

Joda showed an anxious look on his face, "Yes, I rushed to the bakery as soon as I received the order, but the bakery was closed. I asked around among the neighbors and they said that the owner of the shop was there an hour ago. Then he closed the door and left, not knowing where he was going."

To be honest, what Shang Zhensheng is most worried about now is Jason. Otherwise, he would not have sent Jiao Da to notify him of his transfer as soon as he got the news of Lin Xiaotang's arrest. Jason is the top killer of the military commander. Many people know this name. Furthermore, when Nie Shangyun started fighting with Juntong and No. 76 in Shanghai, Jason also appeared in front of people. Although he is now living in seclusion in the busy city, there is no guarantee that the Japanese will not notice it. He, that's why he thought of letting him hide for a while, but now, he has disappeared quietly. What Shang Zhensheng is most worried about is that with Jason's temper, who knows the news of Lin Xiaotang's arrest. I know what kind of earth-shattering things he will do.
