Chen Zheng never expected that such a fierce battle would result in so many deaths and injuries, and that no one would mention it again after two days.

It was thought that the concession authorities would argue with the Japanese pirates for a long time, but unexpectedly, the two sides quickly reached a consensus and let the matter pass.

The concessions were gradually getting back on track, and the Japanese troops had withdrawn from them. Shanghai was thriving.

Upon learning of Gu Qingzhou's incident, the authorities in Chongqing sent a telegram appointing Lu Zhiyuan as the temporary stationmaster of Shanghai.

The first thing the station chief had to do was confirm whether Gu Qingzhou was alive or dead, and whether he had betrayed his cause.

Upon receiving the telegram, Lu Zhiyuan risked returning to Shanghai that very night to retrieve the roster of personnel from the Fuxing Society's Shanghai station from the safe house.

Although he is only acting as the station manager, he still needs to keep track of the personnel roster.

Unfortunately, after searching all the safe houses, there was no roster; Gu Qingzhou must have hidden it.

Lu Zhiyuan dared not delay and immediately reported the situation to the authorities in Shancheng. He received instructions to do everything in his power to find Gu Qingzhou.

Only by finding him can we find the personnel roster, and only with the personnel roster can the Shanghai station of the Fuxing Society operate normally.

Without finding Gu Qingzhou and obtaining the roster, Shanghai Railway Station would have to start from scratch and undergo a major overhaul.

This greatly worried Lu Zhiyuan. He wanted to get rid of the title of "temporary representative" on his head. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could Shancheng use him?

Without a doubt, all members of the Fuxing Society returned to Shanghai in batches, with only one purpose: to find Gu Qingzhou.

Chen Zheng didn't want his men to take risks, but he couldn't openly disobey orders, so he simply scrapped all the previous safe houses and rented new houses to rebuild safe houses.

The black doctor wanted to leave, but Chen Zheng refused, insisting that he stay in the valley to care for the wounded.

The doctor was in a bad mood, so Zhao Dahu talked to him alone for a while and then obediently stayed.

As for his money, it had long since gone into Chen Zheng's spatial storage.

Chen Zheng told him that if he behaved well, not only would he get the money back in full, but he would get even more, so much that it wouldn't fit in a wicker trunk.

By the way, after spending a few days together, Dr. Hei has acquired an official title: Xiao Hei (Little Black).

Chen Zhengqi's.

At first, everyone called him "doctor," which was quite respectful.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zheng said, "What kind of doctor is he? He's just a shady doctor who runs an illegal clinic. He's heartless. From now on, I'll call him Little Black. That sounds much better."

And that's how Xiao Hei's name came about.

Xiao Hei definitely couldn't agree to that. He could tell that these people looked fierce, but they weren't bad, except for the damn captain and the one without a neck.

He shouted at Chen Zheng, "I have a name, my name is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zheng shoved him aside: "Is having a name so great? Ask everyone who doesn't have a name, stop whining."

After Chen Zheng finished speaking, he left, leaving Xiao Hei there sighing and lamenting for a long time. No one responded, leaving Xiao Hei with only sorrow in his heart.

Zhao Dahu's group stayed behind to protect the wounded.

The current focus is on covert reconnaissance to find Gu Qingzhou. Zhao Dahu's group is too conspicuous and not very useful.

Chen Erniu's artillery squad stayed behind with him.

These people are Chen Zheng's trump card, and their absolute safety must be guaranteed.

Without them, the fate of the Fuxing Society would have been hard to predict; it would not have been as simple as just over a hundred people sacrificing their lives.

On the third day after returning to Shanghai, Tang Asheng brought Wu Shoucheng to find them.

Upon seeing Wu Shoucheng, Chen Zheng was furious and went up to teach him a lesson, but Wu Shoucheng knelt down first with a thud.

"Captain, I have important information."

"What kind of intelligence do you have? Tell me, where were you when we were fighting the Japanese pirates? And where were you when the brothers withdrew from Shanghai?"

Faced with Chen Zheng's persistent questioning, Wu Shoucheng said:

"Captain, I didn't receive any news about fighting the Japanese pirates. You all withdrew after the battle, but I'm still hiding in the safe house. You can ask my men if you don't believe me. If there's even one lie, you can shoot me on the spot."

Chen Zheng didn't believe it and looked at Tang Asheng.

Tang Asheng nodded almost imperceptibly, which was considered as him vouching for Wu Shoucheng.

Tang Asheng's first task upon returning to Shanghai was to investigate Wu Shoucheng, whom Chen Zheng suspected of betraying him.

After Tang Asheng's investigation, it was found that Wu Shoucheng had indeed not received any orders. Upon hearing the gunshots, he and his men hid and could not be found at all.

After the battle ended, the Japanese pirates sealed off the city and searched every house. Wu Shoucheng could not escape, so he led his men to hide in the sewers and escaped the calamity.

That's why Tang Asheng dared to bring Wu Shoucheng to see the captain.

"Get up and speak. What news do you have?"

Wu Shoucheng scrambled to his feet: "Captain, there's a traitor in the Fuxing Society!"

"You don't even need to tell me that. The station chief has been arrested by the Special Higher Police. He must have been betrayed by a traitor. The deputy station chief is investigating. If he finds out, he will definitely be punished according to the rules."

Wu Shoucheng swallowed hard.

"The traitor I'm talking about has nothing to do with the station chief."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Chen Zheng's eyes as he said to Wu Shoucheng:

"Oh, so this is a new discovery. Come, sit down and let's talk. Old Tang, you sit down too."

As soon as Wu Shoucheng sat down, he began to recount his discovery:

"Captain, last night I went to scout near the Special Higher Police and followed two agents for a while. Guess what I saw?"

Tang Asheng wanted to remind Wu Shoucheng to talk less nonsense, as the captain didn't like listening to rambling.

To his surprise, Chen Zheng asked curiously, "What did you see?"

"I saw two spies meeting with a man. Although this man was wearing sunglasses and a mask, judging from his build, he was one of our Fuxing Society members."

"Who?"

"I can't say anything without seeing their faces, but I can confirm that they are definitely from the Fuxing Society!" Wu Shoucheng said with absolute certainty.

"You didn't follow?"

"We followed him, but that guy was too cunning; we lost him."

Tang A's hands trembled with anger: "What can you do? You can't even follow a person properly."

Chen Zhengdao: "Losing track is normal. What happened next?"

"I went back to the safe house later, and went to look around the area again this morning, but I didn't find anything. I immediately contacted Team Leader Tang to report to you."

Chen Zheng patted Wu Shoucheng on the shoulder:

"Good, not bad. Reporting any discoveries immediately is excellent. I'll personally reward you with ten dollars. From now on, your group will do nothing but focus on tracking down the traitor. You must find this scoundrel."

Wu Shoucheng stood tall and proud: "Yes, Captain."

Chen Zheng took out ten yuan in legal tender from his pocket and handed it to Wu Shoucheng: "Remember, safety first. Don't act recklessly. Report any discoveries immediately. Go."

Wu Shoucheng put the money in his pocket, said goodbye, and left.

Tang Asheng sighed, "That Wu Shoucheng is a complete waste. If only he could catch the traitor!"

"A person who shrinks back when a fight breaks out, expecting him to catch traitors is a pipe dream! I think he's the most likely traitor."

"Does the captain suspect Wu Shoucheng?"

Chen Zheng nodded without saying anything.

"From my investigation, it's clear that the orders didn't reach him that day. After the battle, he was busy avoiding capture by the Japanese pirates, always had people around him, and didn't have any contact with strangers. Why do you suspect Wu Shoucheng is a traitor?"

"Here's what I think: given Wu Shoucheng's character, would he dare to go to the Special Higher Police to investigate alone?"

Tang Asheng shook his head.

"Does he dare to follow two Special Higher Police agents all by himself?"

Tang Asheng continued to shake his head.

"But he did it anyway! Something's fishy going on, and I'm just suspicious. From now on, Wu Shoucheng can't be allowed to contact other groups."

"Tell the group leaders that from now on, all communication between groups should be severed, and any issues should be reported directly to me."

"Prepare two or three more safe houses for each group, and I will provide each group with a batch of heavy firepower, just in case."

"Your group does nothing but keep an eye on Wu Shoucheng."

Tang Asheng asked, "Aren't you going to see the stationmaster?"

"We don't even know if he's alive or dead, how are we supposed to find him? Where are we even looking?"
