Agents of the Republic of China

Dong Jiayi disappeared at noon three days ago. Her personal bodyguard, Cai Ba, a female secretary and another entourage disappeared with her.At that time, the four people went out by car to check the accounts of the subordinate property, and they also made an appointment with a local businessman to discuss the transfer of the property, but they did not arrive. Since then, there has been no news from the four of them.

The Dong family has been operating in Myanmar for nearly 20 years, and is considered a well-known local family. Although they are Chinese, they get along well with the Myanmar government and local people.After the incident came out, shopkeeper Dong immediately contacted the relevant government departments in Yangon, but the Japanese had already approached the city at this time, and the Yangon government was originally a puppet of the British. nosy.

Shopkeeper Dong had no choice but to contact some local gangs and wealthy families in private, hoping to find out what was going on through their channels. If Dong Jiayi was kidnapped, then there would be no problem with the ransom. Dong Zhennan only had this A daughter would naturally not begrudge money.

But what is surprising is that these gangs and wealthy families also readily agreed to help, but a day later, they rejected the commission one after another, ambiguous in their words, and refused to get involved in this matter no matter what they said.Only then did Shopkeeper Dong realize that something was wrong.So he quickly reported these situations to Dong Zhennan and Dong Jiacheng.

But at this time, Dong Zhennan really had no one available, he was getting old, and his family members were really worried about letting him go back and forth, and Dong Jiacheng was accidentally injured in Chongqing, so he could only entrust Lin Xiaotang to take this trip.

Although Lin Xiaotang and Dong Jiayi are not married yet, shopkeeper Dong has indeed known about their being together for a long time, so the title "uncle" is very affectionate.Shopkeeper Dong is a collateral child of the Dong family, and in terms of seniority, he is still Dong Jiayi's uncle, so Lin Xiaotang didn't dare to trust her, and always treated each other with courtesy and courtesy.

"Then the locals didn't say who the kidnappers were, and what was the purpose of kidnapping Jiayi?" Although shopkeeper Dong had already prepared dinner, Lin Xiaotang didn't have the heart to eat it at this time, so he continued to drag Dong asked the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Dong shook his head, with a confused expression on his face, "It's strange because the people who participated in the investigation before were silent after the incident, and comforted me by saying that they don't need to worry too much, the other party will not hurt the young lady, and it is He will definitely contact me, at worst, spend more money to solve it, but this makes me feel uncertain!"

Lin Xiaotang thought for a while, "Are there any other clues?"

Shopkeeper Dong shook his head.Lin Xiaotang could tell that shopkeeper Dong was just a well-behaved businessman. Although he had been in Yangon for many years and was well-organized in doing business, he was obviously not good at handling these things.

Bai Qi made a suggestion.When he was in the car just now, he deliberately asked Geng Xiaozheng about the Yangon station of the military command.The Yangon station was established in the 20th year of the Republic of China. At that time, the military system had not yet been formally listed, and the domestic situation was relatively stable. In order to grasp the trend of the surrounding situation, Dai Li ordered the opening of intelligence stations in Yangon, Bangkok, Hanoi and other small neighboring countries.Although the scale is not large, it has provided a large amount of valuable intelligence to the military command headquarters over the years.

Bai Qi is in charge of international intelligence, and usually deals with these stations, but what surprised him was that more than two weeks ago, shortly before the outbreak of Pei Zhongyan's rebellion, his subordinates reported that there were already half a station in Yangon, Myanmar. Yue never contacted the headquarters.This surprised Bai Qi.

According to the usual practice, even if there is no transmission of special information, these foreign sites will contact the headquarters once a week to report the situation.Bai Qi became suspicious at the time, because before the Japanese army attacked Singapore and Hong Kong, similar situations had occurred in the military control sub-stations in the two places. Bai Qi suspected that this might be the prelude to the Japanese army's attack on Burma.Bai Qi immediately reported to Dai Li, and Dai Li also sent the information to the British through the coordination system with Britain and the United States, but the arrogant British did not take this news that was not supported by real evidence to heart at all, so As a result, the British were caught off guard by the Japanese army's sudden attack from Thailand straight into Burma.

Bai Qi intends to contact the personnel at the Yangon Station of the Military Command in person, and find out if there are any survivors at the Yangon Station through the contact information between the headquarters and the sub-station in an emergency. If they can be found, these people may be released. The real reason for Dong Jiayi's kidnapping is that the Yangon station has been lurking in this city for many years after all, and a relatively complete intelligence collection system has been established here.

After Bai Qi left, shopkeeper Dong told Lin Xiaotang that the kidnappers found a local kid this afternoon and sent him a message, asking shopkeeper Dong to prepare a ransom of 100 million pounds and waiting for further news at any time.

"One million pounds!" Shopkeeper Dong tremblingly stretched out a finger, "They are crazy, and the wealth of the entire Yangon may not be able to reach this figure! Even if I inform my cousin, he agrees to pay, but in this way, The Dong family is all over!"

Lin Xiaotang patted Shopkeeper Dong on the shoulder, "Uncle Dong, the kidnappers are just talking like a lion. Anyone who is not a fool knows what such a huge sum of money means. If my guess is right, they plan to use this number to take our money first." Their thinking and vision are confused, and they will tell the true price in their hearts after bargaining!"

"Yes, but I don't dare to wait any longer!" Shopkeeper Dong picked up the water glass and drank it clean, the sadness on his face did not abate, "Cousin is just such a daughter, if Jiayi is with me, what else can I do?" Wrong, how can I still have the face to go back to Thailand!"

Lin Xiaotang's mood was equally heavy at this time. Dong Jiayi stayed in the hands of the kidnappers for one minute longer, and the danger increased. Although he knew that the kidnappers' goal was for money, no one dared to guarantee that they would not hurt Jiayi. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaotang felt like a fire was lit in his chest.

Lin Xiaotang repeatedly warned himself that at this time, he must remain calm.

"How is the transfer of the industry going?" Lin Xiaotang deliberately changed the subject in order to divert himself and shopkeeper Dong to relax.

"It has basically been completed, and most of the industries have been transferred. Only some projects that were originally cooperated with the Myanmar Autonomous Province Government and the British have not yet come to fruition. At this time, everything is in a mess. How can the British I'm thinking about this, originally the eldest lady and I planned to evacuate, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time." Shopkeeper Dong sighed again.

"Now the market is very chaotic. Many Chinese shops have been looted. The locals hate the British and even the Chinese. Besides, most of the Chinese are doing business locally and have money in their hands. Therefore, many locals They pointed the finger at the Chinese."

While talking, a young man hurried in from outside, "It's the shopkeeper!"

Shopkeeper Dong stood up, and there was a trace of sullenness in his words, "Why panic, didn't I say, don't bother us if there is nothing to do?"

The young man held a rifle in his hand, and pulled out something in the other hand, "Someone, someone threw this from the bushes!"

Lin Xiaotang also hurriedly stood up, and shopkeeper Dong took it over. It turned out to be a piece of white paper wrapped around a stone.

The local Myanmar characters were written on the white paper. Lin Xiaotang didn't know him. Instead, shopkeeper Dong's face changed, "It's a kidnapper!"

"How to say?"

"He asked us if we had the money ready, and there was a place for us to go to the appointment on time, and pay the money and the person!" Shopkeeper Dong was about to cry, "Master, what should we do?"

"Don't panic, what's the time and place?"

"Just tonight, the location is in the north of Yangon. It is a slum area. There is a former jade market in it. There is a restaurant there waiting to be notified."

……

Two hours later, Lin Xiaotang and shopkeeper Dong appeared in a poor gathering area in the north of Yangon City.

After receiving the news of the kidnappers, Lin Xiaotang and shopkeeper Dong discussed quickly. At present, the funds that the Dong family can mobilize in Yangon are just some gold and jewelry that are convenient to carry. The other funds have been transferred back to Thailand in batches. At this time, I want to It is already unrealistic to raise funds, so Lin Xiaotang decided to bring these things to talk to the kidnappers first, and find out their real thoughts before making a fuss.

Shopkeeper Dong originally intended to persuade Lin Xiaotang to wait for Bai Qi to come back and discuss it before getting up.But when Lin Xiaotang thought about Dong Jiayi's current situation, he really didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so he resolutely decided to go to the appointment on time.

Originally, Lin Xiaotang wanted shopkeeper Dong to send a reliable person to go with him, because he did not understand the local dialect of Burma after all, but shopkeeper Dong was also very anxious at this time, and he explained the things in the shop to the handrail, and insisted on following Lin Xiaotang went together.

The Dong family still has some people in Yangon, all of them are guards of their own business group. Together, there are more than 20 people. Lin Xiaotang selected six people from them and gave them to Guo Zhui to lead them. They secretly sneaked into the north of the city and were ready to respond at any time.

When he came to the north of the city, Lin Xiaotang found that this place and the previous place were two different worlds. The dilapidated wooden houses were crowded together, as if they could be blown down by a strong wind. There was sewage flowing everywhere, and the smell in the air was even worse. Strong, dull-eyed, ragged locals looked at everyone passing by here, until they saw Lin Xiaotang and shopkeeper Dong, their eyes were suddenly full of hostility.

When they arrived, Shopkeeper Dong and Lin Xiaotang both brought pistols and magazines.But Lin Xiaotang also knew that once they got to the kidnapper's territory, these guys would be just a display.

The night was pitch black, with dark clouds covering the entire sky, and the only illumination came from the occasional light shining through the wooden blocks by the roadside, and the whole area was like a dead land.

After walking for about 10 minutes, shopkeeper Dong wiped the sweat off his face, pointed to a place with a light not far away, "That's it!"
