Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 368 Goodbye Gong Xue
However, at the moment, Yang Xuewu really has no way to kill Jiro Matsumoto, as there are too many people lying in ambush near Jiro Matsumoto's house.

Once Yang Xuewu takes action, he will take a great risk, so Yang Xuewu can only postpone his action.

When Jiro Matsumoto lets his guard down, he will strike him dead with one blow.

……

That night, Tan Wenxia received a telegram in which the headquarters asked Yang Xuewu to eliminate a man named Akagi Shinzo.

After receiving the telegram, Tan Wenxia did not rush to contact Yang Xuewu, but went to Gong Xue first.

"Sister Wenxia, ​​why are you here?"

"Xiaoxue, I received a telegram tonight. I will contact Yang Xuewu tomorrow morning, so I want you to "encounter" Yang Xuewu tomorrow morning. Are you ready?"

Hearing this, Gong Xue nodded and said, "Sister Wenxia, ​​I'm ready."

"That's good. Here's what I'm thinking. Tomorrow morning, when Yang Xuewu leaves my place, you can wait for him on the road he must take and run into him by chance. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, Sister Wenxia."

"Okay, I'll leave first then."

After Tan Wenxia left, Gong Xue sat alone for a long time. Suddenly, she was going to meet Yang Xuewu, and Gong Xue couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

But time does not stop because of someone's emotions, and in the blink of an eye it is the next morning.

That morning, Yang Xuewu was still sleeping when suddenly the phone in the room rang.

"Hello, it's me. I want to meet you."

Hearing Tan Wenxia's voice in the receiver, Yang Xuewu knew that it must be another telegram from headquarters, so he said OK and hung up.

At this time, Yang Xuewu had never thought that Gong Xue would choose to meet him today.

After washing up, Yang Xuewu went to the International Settlement to meet Tan Wenxia.

"Wenxia, ​​is there a telegram from headquarters?" Yang Xuewu asked after seeing Tan Wenxia.

"Yes, the headquarters called and asked you, Brother Wu, to eliminate a man named Akagi Kinzo. This Akagi Kinzo is the special deputy director of the International Settlement Police Department."

Yang Xuewu had a general understanding of the composition of the International Settlement Police Department. The top level of the International Settlement Municipal Council Police Department was composed of four people, including a British director, a Japanese special deputy director, a Japanese deputy director, and a Chinese deputy director.

Some people may ask, wasn't the International Settlement controlled by Britain, the United States and other countries? Why were there two Japanese at the top of the Municipal Police Department?

The thing is, at the end of 1937, the Japanese army organized a military parade in the International Settlement, but this parade was attacked by multiple patriotic forces, resulting in heavy casualties among the Japanese.

At this time, the Japanese had just occupied Shanghai and were extremely arrogant. Using this as an excuse, the Japanese put pressure on the Municipal Council, hoping to interfere with the security management in the International Settlement.

Britain and the United States were afraid that the Japanese would point their guns at the concessions in anger, so they compromised and agreed to this unreasonable demand of the Japanese.

From then on, although the British had the leadership in the public security management of the International Settlement, the Japanese occupied a dominant position. Relying on this advantage, the Japanese relied on the power of the Police Department to suppress the anti-Japanese forces in the International Settlement, ensure Japanese interests, and gradually began to infiltrate the International Settlement.

Although Yang Xuewu knew that the Municipal Police Department seemed to be headed by four people, he had never known that the Japanese actually occupied a dominant position. If he had known, he would have taken action long ago.

"I understand. Call the headquarters and tell them that I will get rid of this Akagi Shinzo soon."

After reading the telegram, Yang Xuewu destroyed it at Tan Wenxia's place. After destroying the telegram, Yang Xue left Tan Wenxia's place.

After reaching the street, Yang Xuewu walked and thought for a while, and decided to go to Yoshino Ichiro tonight to inquire about the situation of Akagi Kinzo, and then wait for an opportunity to take action. At this time, Yang Xuewu heard someone calling his name.

"Yang Xuewu, is that you?"

Seeing Gong Xue's figure not far away, Yang Xuewu's pupils shrank. He didn't know why Gong Xue was here.

At this moment, two thoughts arose in his mind. The first thought was that Gong Xue happened to meet him, and the second thought was that Gong Xue took the initiative to see him today.

Although he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or Gong Xue had other purposes, since Gong Xue recognized him, he couldn't just ignore her.

"It's me. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's find a place where it's more convenient to talk."

Then, under the leadership of Yang Xuewu, the two came to a quiet teahouse.

After the two of them sat down, Yang Xuewu did not speak first, but waited for Gong Xue to speak.

Seeing that Yang Xuewu didn't want to speak, Gong Xue had to speak first.

"Yang Xuewu, when did you come to Shanghai?"

"How many years have you been?"

"I came here last year and now I'm a teacher in a school. I didn't expect to meet you today. It's such a coincidence."

"Yes, it's a bit too coincidental."

Hearing Yang Xuewu's words, Gong Xue's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself, "Could it be that Yang Xuewu discovered something?"

But Gong Xue felt that there was nothing wrong with her performance, so she used a smile to hide her inner turmoil.

The two chatted for a long time afterwards, but they were mostly reminiscing about the past, and nothing was revealed about the things that were hidden between them.

"Yang Xuewu, where do you live now?" Seeing that there was no more topic to talk about, Gong Xue took the initiative to ask.

"I don't have a fixed residence. As you know, Shanghai is now dominated by the Japanese. I may live here today and there tomorrow."

Actually, what Yang Xuewu said was not false. His residence in Shanghai was indeed not fixed. Sometimes he lived in Fengwei Building, sometimes in the base of the Anti-Japanese and Anti-Traitor Group, sometimes in the Peace Hotel, and sometimes in other places.

"Then can we meet again in the future?"

"Of course I can. I don't have a fixed residence. Don't you have one too? You can tell me where you live. I will come to see you when I have time."

After hearing what Yang Xuewu said, Gong Xue hesitated for a moment, but still told Yang Xuewu her address.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she was still unwilling to tell Yang Xuewu where she lived. After all, her current identity was a Red Party member, while Yang Xuewu's identity was a White Party member. She was afraid that Yang Xuewu would discover her identity after knowing her address.

But in order not to arouse Yang Xuewu's suspicion, she had to tell Yang Xuewu where she lived.

When Gong Xue told Yang Xuewu where she lived, Yang Xuewu took the initiative to say, "Okay, I'll come to see you when I have free time."

"It's settled then. I'll wait for you to come and see me."

After the two said goodbye, Yang Xuewu did not follow Gong Xue because he felt that Gong Xue posed no threat to him. As for whether Gong Xue met him this time by chance or for other purposes, Yang Xuewu felt that she would confess sooner or later, so Yang Xuewu was not in a hurry to know.
