Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 31 Grudges

With the luxury car, the sense of superiority returned. He took the taxi to enter Zhabei, and when passing the customs, he ignored the Japanese military police and just walked past.

The Japanese military police also knew that such people were either rich or noble. If there was no need, they would not want to pay any attention to them to avoid getting themselves into trouble, so they simply ignored them.

This tests the tolerance of the Japanese military police. If any prohibited items need to pass through the checkpoints in the future, this kind of luxury car will be one of the feasible opportunities.

No. 67 Daxi Road.

Gu Yansheng parked his car at the door. He looked at the auto repair shop on the right side of the road, then turned around and knocked on the iron gate of the villa.

dong dong dong.

With a swish, a small door opened and a man poked his head out.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Captain Wu Sibao, we're here to deliver something as agreed." Gu Yansheng showed the suitcase in his hand, indicating that you should understand the meaning of it.

The man didn't quite understand. "Appointment? Captain Wu went out of town two days ago. Who did you make the appointment with?"

"Going out of town? When will you be back?"

"I don't know." The doorman would not reveal any information to Gu Yansheng.

"Well, forget it then. When Captain Wu comes back, tell him that Lawyer Gu was here and have him call me then."

The concierge murmured, "Lawyer? Oh, I know who you are!"

"You know me?" Gu Yansheng paused. How could he not know that he was so famous?

How could it not be famous? The first order from the repair shop, a top-tier customer. The doorman looked at the luxury car at the door with shining eyes, "I was wondering, why does this car look so familiar?"

Gu Yansheng followed his gaze, looked at the car, then looked at the repair shop across the street and sneered.

Well, this is probably not a good name.

"About ten days."

Knowing who it was, the doorman stopped hiding and said with a smile, "Captain Wu is going on a long trip. If everything goes well, it will take ten days to half a month. If things go slowly, it will only take a month. How about I help you deliver this box?"

"Then I'll give it to him myself when he comes back."

Gu Yansheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "But shouldn't he be tracking down that Military Control Commission member recently? Why is he out of town?"

"It's not that easy to check. It's tiring." The doorman just chatted casually. After all, he is the God of Wealth.

After a casual chat, Gu Yansheng got the information he wanted. From the doorman's unguarded attitude, it can be seen that they have not taken any action from last night to today.

Zheng Liangcai left safely.

With this information, this trip was not in vain.

Return to the law firm.

in the afternoon.

Gu Yansheng was reading the newspaper in his office, focusing mainly on the major newspapers' discussions on various aspects of the current SH city government.

The old boss has left. Now, apart from finding a time to hand over the resources to Lu Bowen and others, he should focus the rest of his energy on studying the development of his own business.

In this day and age, academic qualifications are a good thing. According to earlier plans, for a student who has just graduated from Peking University, who is young and has a clean background, it is not difficult for such a person to find a job in a government department.

Whether you can be promoted and developed after entering depends on your chance.

But things are different now.

Because of Lao Di’s arrest, Gu Yansheng’s initial path was very different.

Although he doesn't have a high status now, it is basically all due to the support from the law firm and the car Wolf.

But now that some people have already recognized him, if he continues to pretend to be a white rabbit to interview for a grassroots position, I'm afraid the Japanese will have to think about how he can attract a lawyer with a high income to join him.

Having given up the grassroots position, and since it was not easy to get a position of power that matched his status, the key to breaking the deadlock might still lie in finding a noble person, the Japanese consul. You need someone's help to reach the top.

Anyway, it is impossible to put it on Wu Sibao. Entering No. 67 to be his younger brother is a mentally ill act.

Of course, there is another alternative path that can be planned, and that is the path of Chairman Wang who is about to commit treason.

dong dong dong.

"Come in."

Wolfe walked in.

"Gu, the court called and said the case might go to trial soon."

"So fast? The efficiency of the Municipal Council is beyond my imagination."

"It's not that he wants to move fast, but several forces are putting pressure on him."

Wolf sat down across from the desk, smiled, and smoked his cigar.

"The major newspapers were bombarding the newspapers with such reckless bombast that the French consul could no longer bear it. He called the Municipal Council several times a day, demanding that they either ban the newspapers from publishing the content or open a court hearing immediately.

The Municipal Council didn't care, as this matter was none of their business. After asking several major newspapers, they actually urged them to open the court as soon as possible and to fight the French and Japanese parties in court until they were speechless.

Doesn’t this mean that both the enemy and us have agreed to fight?

Then the Municipal Council will meet the expectations of both parties."

"I wonder how the Municipal Council's process can be so fast?" Gu Yansheng asked with a smile, "What about Smithfields? What's going on?"

"There's no reaction yet. Judging from the surface, the facts are very clear: Japanese people were photographed present. If they just think this is a simple case, then I think they've already lost. But they shouldn't be so naive, at least not when they know what happened to us."

Wolf was very confident in the threat his law firm could pose to the other party. After thinking for a moment, he said, "They might surprise us and come up with something we can't imagine. After all, they don't need to prove anything. As long as they can make the case controversial, then the newspaper won't be considered fabricated."

"Let's see what happens. When exactly will the trial begin?"

"Probably two or three days, depending on the court's notification."

"Um"

"Oh, by the way, I've contacted the car dealer for you. You're lucky, they have the car in stock. Do you want to go and take a look? You may not have time later." Wolf said with a smile.

Gu Yansheng stood up upon hearing this and said, "Of course I have to go and see it. Spending money can motivate me to work hard."

"Ha ha ha ha."

After taking two steps, Gu Yansheng paused and pondered, "I've thought of something. If I were Smith Freehills, I would definitely find a way to contact those imprisoned people and inquire about their specific circumstances. After all, these people have already been released."

Wolf frowned slightly in thought, "Are you saying that these people might have signed a confidentiality agreement and still spoken?"

"It's not impossible." Gu Yansheng's eyes sparkled.

Wolfe nodded and took a puff of his cigar. "If they risk our claim, or if Smith Freehills simply agrees to pay for them, then this matter could indeed be a bit fraught with complications."
So, we still have two days left. We can call all those who have been released back to check again and scare them. Even if they don't tell the truth, we should be able to tell something from their expressions and attitudes. What do you think?"

I think it's a very good idea. Even if Wolf didn't say it, Gu Yansheng would have to suggest it. It's not easy to create an opportunity for a fair meeting.

"Sure, Fumihiko."

"Yes, sir."

"You and Mr. Wolf's team, go contact those who have been released and ask them to come to the law firm." Gu Yansheng looked at his watch. "Wolf, is two hours enough to watch the car?"

"As long as you don't get obsessed, it shouldn't take that long."

"Okay, Wenyan, we're going out for a while. Please arrange for someone to meet us and schedule a timetable. Oh, by the way, I remember a few people who seem to have just arrived in Shanghai and don't have a fixed address. Take the consul's authorization letter and have someone go to the Household Registration Office in the French Concession to check if they've registered. Try to ensure that no one is left out."

"Okay, I'll do it now."
