Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 247 Waiting for price
Soon after, Yang Xuewu came to Xiafei Road. Fu Mansion was very famous on Xiafei Road. Yang Xuewu found Fu Mansion easily.

Yang Xuewu observed for a while and found that the guards in the Fu Mansion were very strict. This was also a characteristic of this era. In troubled times, every rich and powerful person would keep a group of bodyguards to protect him, for fear of being killed or kidnapped.

Fu Zongyao may have been wanted by the chairman of the committee before, and he was particularly concerned about his own safety. Yang Xuewu counted carefully and found that there were 23 bodyguards around the Fu Mansion. These bodyguards kept the Fu Mansion guards at bay, let alone people. I'm afraid even mosquitoes won't be able to fly into Fu's mansion easily.

Yang Xuewu observed for an entire afternoon and found that it was basically impossible to investigate or assassinate Fu Zongyao in the Fu Mansion, unless he could sneak into the Fu Mansion.

But this is not easy. According to Xiaohui, this Fu Zongyao is nepotistic. After he became prosperous, he promoted a group of fellow villagers. Now the servants and bodyguards of the Fu Mansion are his die-hard loyalists. It is not easy to get into the Fu Mansion.

While Yang Xuewu was watching, Fu Zongyao in Fu's mansion was talking to his confidant secretary Wu Maiding.

"Mr. Fu, both the White Party and the Japanese have sent people here to win over you. I wonder what you mean?" Wu Maiding asked.

Hearing this, Fu Zongyao pushed up his glasses, thought for a moment and said: "Chiang Kai-shek's conditions are indeed high enough, but I was wanted by Chiang Kai-shek in the past. Although the wanted order has been revoked now, Chiang Kai-shek may have a lot of wishes for me." .

But I have never been at ease in my heart. Lao Jiang has always been untrustworthy. He looks forward when he employs people and looks backward when he doesn't use people. I'm afraid that if I agree to Lao Jiang, of course he is willing to give me benefits when he uses me, but when I use him I was done with him, I was afraid that he would kick me away, and by then it would be too late to regret. "Fu Zongyao said quietly, obviously he still had lingering fears about the Chairman's arrest.

"Mr. Fu, what do you mean is that we agree to the Japanese?" Wu Maiding asked.

"Mr. Fu, I understand, but I think there is an issue that we need to pay attention to. Like the Su Youxiang I just mentioned, he was raped by the White Party. If we defect to the Japanese, will there be any danger?"

"Mai Ding, there is definitely danger in taking refuge with the Japanese, but isn't there any danger in taking refuge with the White Party?"

"Xiaohui, have you checked this person?"

When Wu Maiding left Fu Mansion, Yang Xuewu focused on him because Yang Xuewu found that the bodyguards of Fu Mansion were very polite to this person who came out of Fu Mansion. Yang Xuewu judged that this person must have an extraordinary status in Fu Mansion, so He wondered if he could find a breakthrough through this person.

Fu Zongyao can be regarded as a powerful figure in Shanghai Beach. If he was afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, he might not have achieved what he has today.

"Compared to Chiang Kai-shek, I still believe in the Japanese. At least Shanghai is now dominated by the Japanese. But you can raise this consideration with the Japanese and see what their attitude is?"

After following this man home and confirming his address, Yang Xuewu returned to the anti-Japanese anti-rape team.

"Mr. Fu, I understand."

Hearing this, Fu Zongyao showed a sly smile and said: "Mai Ding, I do intend to promise the Japanese. Shanghai is now dominated by the Japanese, and the price the Japanese offered me is also very high.

Yang Xuewu then developed the photos and asked Xiaohui to see if he recognized the people in the photos.

Listening to Wu Maiding's compliment, Fu Zongyao was very impressed, but he still said modestly: "Maiding, don't say this kind of thing in the future. Shanghai and Hainan are now dominated by the Japanese. Only the Japanese can stabilize the situation in Shanghai and Hainan."

Wu Maiding was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw Fu Zongyao smiling like an old fox, he also laughed.

Hearing this, Fu Zongyao nodded. He had never thought about this problem. However, after decades of ups and downs, he understood one truth, that is, it is better to live a vigorous life than to linger and die.

But soon Fu Zongyao's face became serious, and he told Wu Maiding: "Maiding, it is not appropriate for me to come forward and have direct contact with the Japanese at the moment. It is up to you to contact the Japanese for me. Remember, contact is okay, but for the time being Don’t agree to any Japanese request unless they can offer me a price that satisfies me.”

"I didn't expect this person to be Fu Zongyao's secretary." Yang Xuewu thought to himself.

……

Then Yang Xuewu took out his camera and secretly took a photo of this person. He wanted to go back and ask Xiaohui and the others if they knew who this person was.

"Brother Wu, I know him. He is Fu Zongyao's secretary Wu Maiding."

But don't be anxious. Even if you have to sacrifice your life for the Japanese, you have to ask the Japanese to pay a high price. Now it's not that I have to join the Japanese, but the Japanese need me. "

Due to the strict guards outside the Fu Mansion, Yang Xuewu could not approach the Fu Mansion, so he naturally did not hear this conversation. If Yang Xuewu heard it, he would probably immediately start planning to kill these two shameless traitors.

Hearing this, Wu Maiding smiled and said: "What Mr. Fu said is that Su Youxiang was killed and Liang Zhihong was arrested. Now the Dao Dao government is leaderless. I am afraid that only Mr. Fu can stabilize the situation by stepping forward."

"Brother Wu, of course I have checked, but our focus in those days was on Fu Zongyao. We don't know much about Wu Maiding. We only know that this person is Fu Zongyao's secretary and is very valued by Fu Zongyao."

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu nodded. After all, Xiaohui and the others were inexperienced and missed the point. In Yang Xuewu's opinion, if he wanted to investigate Fu Zongyao, it would be more useful to investigate Wu Maiding than to investigate Fu Zongyao himself.

As the spokesperson of the boss, in a general sense, the secretary is the incarnation of the boss. Just like a line in a sketch said: "The secretary can generally be half of the boss's family." Although the secretary mentioned in the sketch is a female secretary, but for a For the young Fu Zongyao, a secretary who can always follow him is not lower than the female secretary mentioned in the sketch.

Yang Xuewu decided to follow Wu Maiding from tomorrow. Fu Zongyao stayed at home all day long, and maybe there would be unexpected gains from following Wu Maiding.

After a night of silence, Yang Xuewu came to Wu Maiding's residence early the next morning.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Wu Maiding called a rickshaw and looked like it was going somewhere. Of course Yang Xuewu followed him.

Soon after, Wu Maiding came to a Japanese food store. Seeing Wu Maiding enter the Japanese food store, Yang Xuewu's brows instantly frowned.

Although Shanghai is now occupied by the Japanese, and many Japanese food restaurants have opened in Shanghai, Japanese food restaurants are generally eaten by Japanese people. In fact, very few Chinese are used to eating Japanese food. Compared with Chinese cuisine The food in Japan is so broad and profound that the food that is half-cooked or even eaten raw is really hard to swallow.

Of course, Yang Xuewu had eaten Japanese food, but he had only eaten it once. He spent a lot of money that time, and most of the food he ate was cold and raw, which made him feel upset all night. After that, he never ate Japanese food again.

At this time, Wu Maiding appeared in the Japanese food store, which is very suspicious. The thought that Fu Zongyao might have been a traitor kept appearing in Yang Xuewu's mind.

After Wu Maiding entered the Japanese food store, he went directly to a private room. When he entered the private room, there was a person waiting for him in the private room. This man looks to be in his 40s, and it is not difficult to tell from the mustache under his nose that he is Japanese.

"Mr. Wu is here, please take a seat." Seeing Wu Maiding come in, the man greeted him enthusiastically.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, you're welcome." Wu Maiding smiled and knelt down opposite Hiratsuka.

Afterwards, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and Hiratsuka asked, "Mr. Wu, I wonder what Mr. Fu is thinking about?"

Hearing this, Wu Maiding smiled and said: "Mr. Hiratsuka, of course Mr. Fu is willing to cooperate with you, but you also know that Mr. Fu's family has a big business, and Mr. Fu is also old. Do you still want to go out to do things? Mr. Fu still has some problems." concern."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka smiled on his face, but in his heart he despised Fu Zongyao. He knew that what Wu Maiding said about his family's big business and old age were all nonsense. If they offered a high price, Fu Zongyao would probably come out and cheer them on immediately.

"Mr. Wu, of course we also know this. When you go back and tell Mr. Fu, we intend to make Mr. Fu the mayor of Shanghai and ask Mr. Fu not to refuse."

Wu Maiding was secretly surprised when he heard the conditions offered by Hiratsuka. He did not expect that the Japanese would offer such a high price in order to win over Mr. Fu.

Although Shanghai is now controlled by the Japanese, the mayor of Shanghai still holds a high position of authority, which can be said to be "below one person and above ten thousand people."

Wu Maiding felt that if Mr. Fu were offered the price by the Japanese, he would definitely agree to join the Japanese.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, I understand. I will tell Mr. Fu when I get back."

"But Mr. Hiratsuka, Mr. Fu has another concern. If Mr. Fu agrees to work for your country, his safety will become a big problem. We all know some of the situations in Shanghai. How do you think this matter can be resolved?"

Hearing this, Hiratsuka thought for a moment and replied: "Mr. Wu, as long as Mr. Fu agrees to work for us, his safety will be guaranteed by us. We will give Mr. Fu a bulletproof vehicle, and then the gendarmerie will personally protect Mr. Fu." ,What do you think of this?"

"Of course, Mr. Hiratsuka, I will tell Mr. Fu when I get back. If he agrees, I will contact you again."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Wu. Is Mr. Wu free tonight? I'll invite Mr. Wu to have a good time."

Hearing this, Wu Maiding smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hiratsuka, for your kindness. Then I won't refuse."

Wu Maiding followed Hiratsuka to have a good time. Although Wu Maiding had no shortage of women, Wu Maiding still had some aftertaste in thinking about the service of Japanese women, so he did not refuse Hiratsuka's invitation.

Moreover, Wu Maiding also wants to build a good relationship with Hiratsuka. As a secretary, helping his boss make connections is also an important job for him.

Hearing this, Hiratsuka smiled and said, "Okay, I will send someone to pick up Mr. Wu that night."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Yang Xuewu finally determined that Fu Zongyao might really surrender to the enemy and become a traitor.

But what surprised Yang Xuewu was that the Japanese actually made Fu Zongyao the mayor of Shanghai. You must know that the previous mayor of Shanghai, Su Youxiang, was killed by him. Now the Japanese make Fu Zongyao the mayor of Shanghai. If Fu Zongyao becomes the mayor of Shanghai Chief, then he will definitely kill Fu Zongyao. Is this because he is at odds with the mayor of Shanghai? Yang Xuewu complained to himself.

After coming out of the Japanese restaurant, Wu Maiding did not rush to report the conditions offered by the Japanese to Fu Zongyao. Instead, he returned to his home.

In the afternoon, Wu Maiding took a rickshaw to a teahouse to drink tea. When he saw the people drinking tea with Wu Maiding, Yang Xuewu was shocked again, because the person drinking tea with Wu Maiding turned out to be the stationmaster of Shanghai Station whom Yang Xuewu had not seen for a long time. Xu Zuoyong.

Although Yang Xuewu has a good relationship with Xu Zuoyong, Yang Xuewu has always been a loner and has not had much contact with Xu Zuoyong. What he can't figure out is why Xu Zuoyong met Wu Maiding.

Soon after, Yang Xuewu heard the conversation between the two.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu. Please wait for me. I have really offended Wu." Wu Maiding said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Zuoyong smiled and replied, "Mr. Wu, you're welcome. Please sit down."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Xu Zuoyong asked: "Mr. Wu, I wonder if you told Mr. Fu what I said?"

"Mr. Xu, of course I told Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu also wants to cooperate with Mr. Jiang, but Mr. Fu feels that he is old and lacks energy now, so he may not be able to help Mr. Jiang."

Xu Zuoyong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Wu Maiding to reply to him like this. Could it be that the conditions for the establishment of the party-state were not enough? Xu Zuoyong thought secretly.

"Mr. Wu, the Chairman really wants to cooperate with Mr. Fu. If Mr. Fu agrees, the Chairman promises that if the Japanese are driven out of China in the future, the Chairman will let Mr. Fu serve as the president of the Shanghai-Haihai Chamber of Commerce."

Hearing this, Wu Maiding smiled on his face, but actually he cursed in his heart. He thought Chiang Kai-shek was too good at making a wish to drive out the Japanese? When can we drive the Japanese out?

At this moment, he felt that Mr. Fu's judgment of Lao Jiang was too accurate. Lao Jiang was good at drawing big cakes and writing bad checks. You must know that what the Japanese promised Mr. Fu was the mayor of Shanghai, but what Lao Jiang gave Mr. Fu The promise was only made by the president of the Shanghai-Hainan Chamber of Commerce, and the Japanese had to be kicked out before it could be fulfilled.

Even if the Japanese were driven out of Shanghai, as Mr. Fu said, Chiang Kai-shek would probably be reluctant to let him become the president of the Shanghai-Haihai Chamber of Commerce. By then it would be too late to regret it.

"Mr. Xu, I know this. I will tell Mr. Fu what Mr. Jiang means. You also know that Shanghai is now dominated by the Japanese. Even if Mr. Fu wants to work for Mr. Jiang, he has to think carefully. After all, in Japan Helping Mr. Jiang do things under the eyes of others requires taking great risks. "

Hearing this, Xu Zuoyong nodded. This was what he meant, but Xu Zuoyong didn't know that Wu Maiding had scolded him countless times at this moment.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yang Xuewu finally understood why Wu Maiding contacted both the Japanese and the White Party. It turned out that Fu Zongyao wanted to wait for a price, and he would invest in whichever side offered the higher price. Which side.

Soon after Wu Maiding left, Xu Zuoyong also wanted to leave, but was blocked by Yang Xuewu halfway.

Xu Zuoyong was very shocked when he saw Yang Xuewu appear. Just as he was about to say hello to Yang Xuewu, he found that Yang Xuewu made a silent gesture to him, indicating that he should enter the teahouse to talk again.
