Chapter 1875 Cao Yu: Leave it to me!
"I think, on the contrary, this is the brilliance of our plan." Dong Zhengguo said with a smile, "Even we ourselves find it incredible, so who can suspect us?"
"There is a loophole here." Wan Haiyang shook his head and said, "After all, it was you, Section Chief Dong, who asked Cheng Qianfan to rescue him..."
"That's not a problem." Li Cuiqun shook his head slowly. "Rescuing people is not a problem. The important follow-up matters need to be done well from beginning to end."
"Don't worry, Director." Dong Zhengguo said, "My wife's relatives came to me and asked me to help rescue her. This matter has been confirmed."
He said to Li Cuiqun, "This man is Feng Shaofei, Feng Man's cousin. I will arrange for him to leave Shanghai later."
"Not appropriate." Wan Haiyang shook his head and said, "Since this person left Shanghai, how did Shu Jincheng fall into our hands? This doesn't stand up to scrutiny."
……
"Captain Wan, this matter itself does not stand up to scrutiny. As long as Shu Jincheng falls into our hands and his identity is exposed, once the Japanese find out, they are not fools. They will quickly guess the cause and effect." Dong Zhengguo said.
As he said this, he looked at Li Cuiqun and said, "Director, the Japanese will know what's going on by then, but we just have to do our best to give them a decent explanation."
Li Cuiqun's face was calm, he knew that what Dong Zhengguo said was right.
This matter cannot be concealed. The Japanese are not fools and will eventually react.
As Dong Zhengguo said, doing the follow-up as well as possible is just a matter of maintaining decency.
"In fact, if we choose to find someone who has nothing to do with us to handle this matter at the beginning..." Wan Haiyang said thoughtfully.
"It's hard to find candidates in such a hurry." Li Cuiqun shook his head. "Besides, I know my junior. If I just find someone and ask him to rescue the person from the military police, Cheng Qianfan will not pay any attention to it."
The reason why this plan was able to induce Cheng Qianfan to agree to help was that Dong Zhengguo was the person who asked for help and Cao Yu was the middleman. This was very important. After all, they were rescuing people from the gendarmerie. Dong Zhengguo and Cao Yu's identity as No. 76 helped to gain Cheng Qianfan's trust. There was no other way around it.
Li Cuiqun thought for a moment, looked at Dong Zhengguo and said, "The person you are looking for should stay in Shanghai."
"Yes, we found that this person was suspicious. Before he could take Shu Jincheng away from Shanghai, we successfully intercepted Shu Jincheng. Then we arranged for Lu Chenfeng to identify him, and only then did we discover Shu Jincheng's true identity." Wan Haiyang's eyes lit up and he took over the conversation and said, "Excellent, Director Gaomou."
"I understand." Dong Zhengguo nodded, "Don't worry, Director, I know what to do."
He sighed in his heart. The director's meaning was very clear. Feng Shaofei must die. Only with the death of Feng Shaofei could the plan form a more perfect closed loop.
……
"The problem now is that Cheng Qianfan might ask for a very high price. How much should we offer?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
Li Cuiqun looked at Wan Haiyang.
"Twenty small yellow croakers." Wan Haiyang thought for a moment and said, "No more."
He explained, "Yellow croaker is becoming more and more valuable now. Captain Hu caught someone. The price outside is between ten and fifteen small yellow croakers. The price on the Japanese side is naturally higher than ours."
Dong Zhengguo narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wan Haiyang.
Wan Haiyang's words may seem insignificant, but in fact he was secretly reporting Hu Sishui's misdeeds. These two have always been very close, so are they having a falling out?
"Twenty-five small yellow croakers." Li Cuiqun looked at Dong Zhengguo, "This price is right. If it's more, my junior will get suspicious."
"I understand." Dong Zhengguo nodded.
"Chief Dong, please be careful not to reveal your trump card right at the beginning." Wan Haiyang reminded him, "If you agree to 25 small yellow croakers right at the beginning, Cheng Qianfan will only ask for more."
"That makes sense." Dong Zhengguo nodded, "Thank you Captain Wan for the reminder."
He said to Li Cuiqun, "Team Leader Cao is eloquent, so we can rest assured to let him do the talking."
Li Cuiqun nodded slightly. Apart from the rumors that Cao Yu was a "disaster to his master", his subordinate performed well in all other aspects.
……
The spring breeze is proud of the building.
Cheng Qianfan met with Cao Yu.
"Try it, this long fish noodle is good, not worse than the one in Huaiyin." Cheng Qianfan greeted Cao Yu warmly.
"Mr. Cheng knows that I'm here to bring you wealth, so that's why he ordered the long fish noodles." Cao Yu said with a smile, "Long fish noodles means longevity, abundance every year, and a good start."
"Who doesn't like to get rich?" Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "However, as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. Whether Cheng should get rich or not is still unknown."
"What is Mr. Cheng still worried about?" Cao Yu glanced at Cheng Qianfan, smiled slightly, and said.
"Okay, it's almost time, stop acting." Cheng Qianfan cleared his throat and said, "Let's talk business."
"Have you decided to take on this?" Cao Yu asked.
"Hmm." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "I arranged for someone to investigate. Feng Man's maternal family, a man named Feng Shaofei, found Dong Zhengguo and asked him to help rescue her. There shouldn't be anything fishy going on."
"It's good that you have found out clearly." Cao Yu nodded, "But I always feel that there is something strange. Anyway, you should pay more attention."
"I take money from others and help them get rid of their troubles." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly. "Even if there are problems with this matter itself, I can get rid of it by bringing the lawsuit to the Japanese. Don't worry."
"As long as you are sure." Cao Yu nodded and said.
……
"Tell me, what price did they offer?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Dong Zhengguo hopes that I can convince you with the price of twenty small yellow croakers," Cao Yu said, "but I have learned that his reserve price is twenty-five small yellow croakers."
Cheng Qianfan shook his head gently, "Less."
"Hmm?" Cao Yu looked at Cheng Qianfan.
"We are rescuing people from the Japanese," Cheng Qianfan said, "and they are the Shanghai Military Police, which most people are terrified of."
"Too little!" He shook his head and said it again.
"Objectively speaking, twenty small yellow croakers are not a small number. Catching twenty-five small yellow croakers for one person is far higher than the market price," said Cao Yu.
"I found out that Shu Jincheng has been included in the execution list by the military police." Cheng Qianfan said, "This is to save people from the gunpoint of the Japanese."
"You can go back and tell Dong Zhengguo that there are only a handful of people in Shanghai who can rescue someone from the gendarmerie's execution list." He looked at Cao Yu and said, "And Cheng is on the list."
"Okay." Cao Yu nodded and said, "I can take it back, but I hope we can agree on the price of thirty small yellow croakers."
Seeing Cheng Qianfan was about to speak, Cao Yu quickly said, "Mr. Cheng, you should also show me that you are capable of handling this matter, otherwise I will have a hard time reporting back."
"Fifty small yellow croakers." Cheng Qianfan raised his hand.
"You really don't take the Section Chief of the No. 76 Intelligence Department seriously." Cao Yu glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said unhappily, "Besides, as an insider, don't I have any dignity?"
"I only want thirty-five small yellow croakers." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly.
"Okay." Cao Yu smiled happily and patted his chest to assure, "Leave it to me."
……
No. , Jisfield Road.
Dong Zhengguo's office.
"Sixty small yellow croakers, why doesn't he go and grab them?" Dong Zhengguo's face changed and he almost slammed the table and stood up.
"That's what I said." Cao Yu said with bitterness in his eyes.
"What did Cheng Qianfan say?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"Cheng Qianfan said that rescuing people from the Japanese is actually robbery, and it's done right at their doorstep," Cao Yu said.
"That bitch." Dong Zhengguo cursed angrily, "Does he think he can take me down?"
"Cheng Qianfan said that he had inquired and found out that Shu Jincheng was on the Japanese gendarmerie's execution list." Cao Yu said, "He said that Cheng Qianfan was the only one in Shanghai who could rescue someone from the gendarmerie's execution list, and he also said..."
"What else do you want to say?" Dong Zhengguo asked angrily.
"He also said that time waits for no one, and if it's too late we can only collect the bodies." Cao Yu said.
Dong Zhengguo's face was gloomy and uncertain.
"He also said..." Cao Yu said.
"What else?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"Speaking of this kind of thing, he doesn't want to be involved in it." Cao Yu said, "If we are not willing to pay that price, it will save him a lot of trouble."
"Damn it." Dong Zhengguo cursed again.
After a while, he reluctantly said, "I'll go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law and give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Hurry up." Cao Yu said, "Cheng Qianfan said to reply to his message before leaving get off work this afternoon at the latest."
"Got it." Dong Zhengguo waved his hands impatiently.
……
"What?" Wan Haiyang almost jumped up. "What does Cheng Qianfan think of us, No. 76? Were we fat sheep?"
He was a little exasperated, and looked at Li Cuiqun and said, "Director, I can't agree to this."
"Hmm?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Wan Haiyang.
"The price is too high and it will break the rules," said Wan Haiyang.
Then he was glared at fiercely by Li Cuiqun.
"Chief Dong, what do you think?" Li Cuiqun looked at Dong Zhengguo, "This price is obviously much higher than the market price."
"It's said that Mr. Cheng is good at doing business. I finally saw it this time." Dong Zhengguo sighed and said, "I understand a little bit. He didn't want to take on this matter before. On the one hand, he really didn't want to get involved in anything related to the Japanese. There was another reason..."
Dong Zhengguo said, "Cheng Qianfan now knows that Shu Jincheng is on the execution list of the Military Police. He is setting aside time to gather intelligence and prepare for the offer."
"My junior fellow student has used all his cleverness on amassing money." Li Cuiqun snorted coldly, shook his head and said.
"Director, what do you mean?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"Fifty small yellow croakers, that's all we have, no more." said Li Cuiqun.
"Will it be possible..." Dong Zhengguo said worriedly.
"Don't worry." Li Cuiqun chuckled and said, "I know him. He offered sixty and is waiting for us to bargain down to fifty."
"I understand." Dong Zhengguo nodded and looked at Li Cuiqun.
"Don't just stand there and watch. We won't let you pay for such a large sum of money first." Li Cuiqun said unhappily.
"I don't have much money." Dong Zhengguo said with a wry smile.
"Go and get the money from the General Affairs Office." Li Cuiqun wrote a note, took out a private seal from the drawer, stamped it, and handed the note to Dong Zhengguo.
"Yes." Dong Zhengguo took it hurriedly.
……
"Fifty?" Cao Yu looked at Dong Zhengguo with difficulty.
"Is it difficult to talk?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"It's not easy to talk about it." Cao Yu nodded. "Brother, you didn't see it. Once Cheng Qianfan talked about yellow croaker, his eyes seemed to glow. He didn't recognize any relatives at all."
"That's all I have." Dong Zhengguo sighed helplessly and said, "The money my relative brought is not enough. Your sister-in-law has helped out with her own pocket money. There is really not much more."
He looked at Cao Yu and said, "Brother Cao, you and Mr. Cheng are friends. Please help me out for your sake."
"Alas." Cao Yu sighed, then nodded, "I'll try my best."
"It's not about trying your best, it has to be done." Dong Zhengguo said worriedly, "Otherwise, like he said, you can only collect the bodies."
Cao Yu nodded, but didn't say anything else.
……
at dusk.
Cao Yu rushed back to Jisifei Road and reported the results to Dong Zhengguo.
"Okay, done." Cao Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"Fifty?"
"Yes, fifty!" Cao Yu nodded, "I'm glad I have accomplished my mission!"
"That's great." Dong Zhengguo showed a relieved smile on his face, "Brother Cao, thank you very much."
"But..." Cao Yu murmured.
"But what?" Dong Zhengguo's heart was lifted again.
"They said that all fifty small yellow croakers must be delivered to Cheng's house tonight," said Cao Yu.
"This is against the rules." Dong Zhengguo frowned, "According to the rules, I can only pay 30% of the deposit first."
"That's what I said too." Cao Yu nodded and said with an indignant look on his face.
"What did he say?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"Cheng Qianfan said that his words are the rules." Cao Yu said.
"Fuck you." Dong Zhengguo cursed.
"However, Cheng Qianfan also said," Cao Yu said, "Even if the matter is not accomplished, there is no need to worry, he will return the twenty small yellow croakers..."
twenty?
Dong Zhengguo almost doubted his own ears, and then he was furious.
Even though the money was not his but came from the public account of the Secret Service Headquarters, he was still angry.
……
"Brother Dong, regarding this matter, I think..." Cao Yu glanced at Dong Zhengguo and said.
Dong Zhengguo signaled to Cao Yu that he could just speak up if he had anything to say.
"I think he did it on purpose," Cao Yu said. "Whether it was the high price or the overbearing rules, it was actually because Cheng Qianfan was still reluctant to take on this matter."
"Go on." Dong Zhengguo said.
"He really didn't want to get involved in anything related to the Japanese, especially saving people from the gunpoint of the military police." Cao Yu said, "But facing the huge reward, Cheng Qianfan was reluctant to part with it, so he simply asked for a huge sum of money and deliberately acted so tough."
"In this case, if we agree, he will reluctantly take the job for the sake of money. If we don't agree, it will be a relief for him and he won't have to worry about it," said Cao Yu.
"He's still doing it reluctantly?" Dong Zhengguo was amused.
"Then? I refused?" Cao Yu frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Take it." Dong Zhengguo said angrily, and handed the small wooden box containing the small yellow croaker to Cao Yu, then sighed, "Human life is at stake, we can't just wait to collect the bodies."
