Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 15 Cooperation
"I originally thought that this trip would be easy, after all, it was commissioned by Mr. Richard. I didn't expect that the general manager would be so law-abiding. I miscalculated." Gu Yansheng stood up.

Liao Shan also stood up and said, "It's my duty. We'll see you later. I'll see you off."

"If I go back like this, I'm afraid the consul will fire me on the spot. Do you mind if I borrow his phone?"

Liao Shan took back his hand, feeling somewhat bored. "Feel free to use it, but even if the Consul told me personally, I would still stick to my point of view. It's better for Mr. Gu to waste less useless energy."

"No, Mr. Consul." Gu Yansheng smiled, walked over, picked up the phone on the table, and called the front desk of the law firm. "Susan, it's me, Gu Yansheng. Have the Japanese come? Have they signed? Well, okay, has my assistant Wen Yan returned? Well, tell him to take the documents and come to the French Concession Central Police Station as quickly as possible. I'll be waiting for him in the Criminal Division on the second floor."

Bang, Gu Yansheng put down the phone and looked at Liaoshan. He no longer had that usual smile on his face.

"Boss, some of this might be a bit informal. How about having your people step aside a bit?"

Liao Shan had no idea what this guy was up to, and he couldn't make out anything substantial from the phone call. He only knew it was related to the Japanese and documents.

"Okay, you guys go out and wait."

When people leave, the door closes.

Gu Yansheng sat back on the sofa, picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. "Boss, let's talk about something embarrassing behind closed doors. You worked so hard with the Japanese to capture people this time, and you must have gained a lot of benefits, right?"

Liao Shan's face suddenly turned serious. "Mr. Gu, you should think before you speak. You can't say anything you want."

"Then why arrest people?"

"Because they broke the laws of the French Concession, that's all."

"As far as I know, I just had some tea. What's wrong with that?"

"The case is still under investigation and confidential, so I have no further comment."

"How boring, haha." Gu Yansheng sneered, "I tried to make friends with Mr. Liao, and now I'm talking to him privately behind closed doors, hoping to exchange my sincerity for true feelings. But Mr. Liao looks down on a small lawyer like me. Okay, I'm just being sentimental.

Mr. Richard's anger and the Japanese Consulate's anger will always target the people they deserve.

Since Mr. Liao likes to take the blame, then let him take it.

Picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, at least there is still a sesame seed. Be careful, the sesame seeds have been taken away, and even the bowl has been smashed. If it leaves, there is no need to see it off.

"Wait." Liao Shan suddenly stood up and stared at Gu Yansheng. "What do you mean? What does the Japanese consulate have to do with it?"

"Want to know?"

"think."

"I don't want to tell you."

Gu Yansheng smiled, opened the door and left.

Liao Shan frowned suddenly, thought quickly, and chased after him, putting on a smile: "Brother, Lawyer Gu, don't be in a hurry to leave. Although the law is ruthless and there is an order for handling cases, there are always priorities in handling cases. Maybe it will be solved in a moment?
So, my brother is treating today, and I'll ask my men to book a table at Songhelou. We'll have a cup of coffee and talk about business first, and then we'll leave. After we're done eating, maybe my men will have found out everything, right?

"Brother, I apologize to you. I drank too much last night and my brain is not always working well."

He is truly adaptable. "Is that so?" Gu Yansheng said, "Alright then, let's talk business."

"please."

"please."

The two men walked back to the office, and their subordinates were stunned.

It seemed like the talks broke down and he left in anger, but he hadn't taken two steps when everything was fine again.

"What the hell is this song about?"

"What the hell do you care what they're singing? You didn't hear it, Coffee."

On the sofa, Liaoshan leaned forward and asked a question.

"Brother Gu, I'm older, so I won't be polite. Just tell me what's going on with this Japanese consulate."

When the time came, Gu Yansheng asked directly, "Treat others with sincerity and honesty, and return sincerity for sincerity. Mr. Liao hasn't answered my question yet. Did you take advantage of the Japanese in this matter?"

Liao Shan wanted to slap him to death. Why did he have to dig into the matter and get to the bottom of it?
After thinking for a moment, he smiled awkwardly: "We occasionally interact with each other, as friends, and we just help each other out. It's also for the sake of the stability of the French Concession."

"Okay, I'm satisfied with this answer." Gu Yansheng nodded. "One last question. Who is Mr. Liao's friend? I need his name and position. Mr. Liao, don't be so quick to refuse. Once I get it, I'll tell you the rest. Even if I can't benefit you by telling you, at least I won't let you fall into a trap."

This time, Liaoshan's expression when looking at Gu Yansheng was not so friendly. He frowned and thought with a stern face. After a while, he said, "Don't play tricks on me, otherwise you will not have a good life in the future." Gu Yansheng nodded seriously.

Liao Shan: "There's a Yunfei car dealership on Daxi Road. Across the road is a villa with license plate number 67. Do you know where that is?"

Gu Yansheng thought about it and simply shook his head: "I don't know."

"It's best not to know. If you work in Shanghai, you'd better never go in there." Liao Shan raised his eyebrows: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. You've heard of the Military Control Commission, right? The Central Control Commission knows about it, right? The owner of that place is a former Central Control Commission member who defected to Shanghai some time ago and is now working for the Japanese. The assassination in the concession a few days ago was a fight between the mutineers and the Central Control Commission and the Military Control Commission."

Gu Yansheng knew who they were, Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun, No. 76.

But why is it number 67 now?
Changed address? Still haven't moved? Just arrived at No. 76 a while ago and it's not established yet?
That’s right, the guy named Wang hasn’t betrayed his country yet to set up a puppet government.

"Do you understand now why I want to help him? It is to make them end the fight as soon as possible and restore peace to the concession. Otherwise, the civilians in the French Concession will be the ones who suffer." Liao Shan said with great righteousness.

I admire you for being able to make up for it.

"I see. I think I understand. The Chief Constable is worthy of the title of Chief Constable. He cares about the safety of the French Concession. I admire him."

Liao Shan nodded in relief: "Brother Gu, can you finish what you left unsaid now?"

"What's the matter?" Gu Yansheng was confused.

Liao Shan's face immediately darkened, and he was about to get angry. Gu Yansheng smiled and said, "It was just a joke, Mr. Liao. In exchange for sincerity, I will tell you everything. This matter is not only about France, but also about the Japanese."

Gu Yansheng explained the fact that he and the Japanese Consulate were in cahoots and carefully analyzed the pros and cons.

"Think about it, let alone a defector from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, even a military police captain, is he a match for the consulate? If the Japanese consulate farts, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will have to bow and smell it. It's a bit vulgar, but you have to understand the meaning. The Japanese are now on the same side as Consul Richard.

No matter what benefits this person promised you, if things go wrong and the Japanese are not satisfied, can he fulfill them? He can't even protect himself.

What's more, you run the risk of offending Consul Richard. That's not even a risk, it's definitely an offense!

Think about it carefully, is it worth it?
Is it not possible to do it?"

Liao Shan's face was really dark this time. "Are you serious?"

Gu Yansheng leaned back on the sofa, smoothed his suit, and crossed his legs. "I know you don't believe me. Words are not enough. Haven't I already called someone to deliver the power of attorney? You'll know at a glance."

Liao Shan remembered the phone call just now, and now everything matched up, but he would not give up until he saw Huang He, so he had to take a look.

It didn't take long before Wen Yan arrived, panting.

"No, it's not too late, is it?"

“It’s never too late to have a good meal.”

Gu Yansheng stood up and held out his hand. Wen Yan handed the document to him. Gu Yansheng handed it to Liao Shan: "Mr. Liao."

He didn't even need to accept the document to believe it. Liao Shan glanced at it briefly and immediately handed it back: "Brother Gu, you can do whatever you want. If you have any problems, I will help you solve them. After you are done, let's have dinner together in the evening. Just think of it as a thank you from your brother. You must do me a favor."

Shanghai people value style, and it would be so embarrassing to be rejected. He still has to survive in Shanghai in the future, so this chief Chinese constable would be useful after all. Gu Yansheng agreed with a smile.

"Okay, Defa."

"Hey, hey."

"Accompany Mr. Gu to do things. Do whatever he wants. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Wang Defa immediately expressed his opinion.

"Brother Gu, please."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Gu, this way please." Wang Defa smiled and instructed, taking two steps behind him and saying quickly, "Mr. Liao, is he really free to do what he wants?"

"Didn't you hear me? Cooperate." Liaoshan glared at him.

Wang Defa nodded repeatedly, "I understand, but aren't there still a few people from that side down there? What should we do with them?"

I almost forgot about those people. "I'll call over there. Don't worry about them. Don't let them get involved."
