Inside the Special Service Department, Director Luo Sanpao's face darkened as he looked at the message he had just received.

He had just finished drinking and was about to go home when he received this message, which really annoyed him.

After all, the detective team was still under his control, and it could even be said that he still had jurisdiction over it. As a result, the detective team leader was killed.

"How's the questioning going?"

"Director, we've brought everyone from the Paramount back for questioning. Most of them are downstairs, and there are a few customers upstairs. The only one missing is that waiter, but we can't find him either. It seems like he was someone who sneaked in temporarily."

"Also, we asked other people, but no one knows who the other person is. You know, they were wearing makeup last night, so even if we wanted to find them, we probably wouldn't be able to."

The squad leader on the side looked at Director Luo in front of him with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

"Damn it, that's the captain of the detective squad! He's just gone like that?"

"While they were outside, did anyone else see them or find out anything about them?"

"No, only people near the Paramount would notice it, but there's basically no one else at the back door, except for a few waiters."

"That's true!"

Director Luo's eyes also became somewhat helpless, even disappointed.

"Forget it, things have already come to this."

"Also, find out for me which side did it. Was it the west, the northwest, or the people from northern Jiangsu?"

"understand!"

Indeed, besides the Japanese, the only other powerful forces in Shanghai right now are those in northern Jiangsu, Chongqing, and Yan'an.

"Director, do you think it could have been done by people from northern Jiangsu?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Director, it seems that the Chongqing situation doesn't have much to do with the detective team leader. It shouldn't have escalated to the point of a life-or-death confrontation, except for the Red Party and people from northern Jiangsu who don't like it."

"That's true, but the Red Party rarely takes action like this, and such a professional assassination is most likely carried out in northern Jiangsu."

Director Luo was quite helpless and could only sigh.

"By the way, there's something you should be aware of. Northern Jiangsu is not a place we can easily mess with. The Japanese are fighting back and forth with them and haven't gained any advantage at all, let alone us small fry."

The entire area north of the Yangtze River has been occupied by the Northern Jiangsu Army Group. Except for half of Xuzhou, the rest is gone. The Japanese have no way to deal with Northern Jiangsu.

"Director, should we continue investigating this matter?"

"Investigate, we must investigate. We need to give the Japanese an explanation. Damn it, that damned captain, if he hadn't been sucking up to the Japanese and giving his sister to them, he wouldn't be a captain now."

"Sigh, what can you do when someone is so lucky!"

"Director, we don't want such good fortune, really!"

The secretary beside him rolled her eyes, clearly looking down on such good fortune, or rather, looking down on this shrew.

They would exploit ordinary people whenever they had the chance, risking their lives. Now that they've been killed, who cares?

Only he knows how many people he offended in Shanghai; others can't even count them all.

It's fair to say that the people deserved to die because of this ruthless Zhou Bapi.

"By the way, if we can't find a way to investigate this matter, we can just find a scapegoat among the death row inmates. It's just a way to fool the Japanese anyway, and it has nothing to do with us."

"yes!" ……

On the other side, Zhang Tianhao sat on the bed, one arm around Zhou Xiaofeng, the other holding a cigarette, slowly smoking, his expression slightly furrowed.

"Young Master, is there something else on your mind? You know you still have to go to work tomorrow, really!"

"But young master, you have money now, why do you still need to work? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home or go to northern Jiangsu?"

“I would like to, but there are some things I can’t do. I can’t even appear in northern Jiangsu often. You can probably guess why. The Japanese and the people from Chongqing will bite me like mad dogs if I show up.”

"In addition, although I appear to be working at a hospital in Shanghai, the real reason, as you may know, is to collect supplies. After all, the development of northern Jiangsu requires far too many supplies."

He also let out a long sigh, his expression somewhat forlorn.

"Also, without me here in Shanghai, they are very capable of taking on the main responsibility. I don't have any good solutions. Even though I have many people under my command here, there are very few who can truly shoulder the responsibility!"

Zhang Tianhao finally sighed and turned to look at Zhou Xiaofeng.

The shortage of talent is still quite serious. Even though Zhang Tianhao has tried his best to recruit many students and even intellectuals from Shanghai, they are not ready to make a significant impact until they have fully matured.

"Is there a lack of talent in Shanghai? Or people who can oversee the overall situation?"

"That's true. If I had such talent, I would have sent him to the north long ago. The north is even more lacking in talent. I can't be so selfish as to only care about this place and neglect my own foundation."

"Oh, I see!"

Zhou Xiaofeng reached out and slowly drew circles on his chest with her right hand, and at the same time she understood why Shanghai always needed Zhang Tianhao to be in charge.

"Wouldn't that be very tiring for you?"

"There's no other way but to do it this way for now. I'll leave when the time is right!"

"Young master, I've basically settled down here, and my household registration is settled too. Why won't you let me open a few more shops?"

"You, you shouldn't think about these things too much. Don't you notice you're a little tired right now?"

"Tired? Not tired at all. Apart from feeling a little sleepy, I don't feel anything."

"You, you, Xiaoyu is already enough for you to take care of, and now you're pregnant again. I just found out you're pregnant when I was examining you. You're too busy to handle it all."

"That's it!"

"Young master, I can't just stay at home or run this small shop forever, can I? I'd like to help you out."

"You, you, I don't need your help right now. Just stay home and watch the house. The situation in Shanghai is far more complicated than you can imagine. It's not something you can easily get involved in, understand?"

"I brought you back so you could get some rest. Shanghai is much better than the Northeast, understand?"

"I know you feel sorry for us, but this isn't right for us to be like this!"

"Alright, stop saying that!"

Zhang Tianhao hugged Zhou Xiaofeng even tighter, burying his head in her hair, inhaling the scent emanating from it, and becoming even calmer.

The two embraced tightly, both understanding that Zhang Tianhao had a greater mission, and Zhou Xiaofeng's current task was to avoid hindering Zhang Tianhao; everything else could be put aside.

"Go to sleep!"

After a while, Zhang Tianhao still offered a gentle word of comfort. (End of Chapter)
