Chapter 856 The last straw
The two of them entered the coffee shop, and Guan Gu Shenqi specially picked a seat by the window. He wanted to expose his relationship with Yang Xue in front of everyone so that people would not think that he was doing anything.
Two cups of coffee were brought up, and Guan Gu Shenqi took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
"Miss Yang, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yang Xue, who was crying inconsolably, drank a cup of hot water that Guan Gu Shenqi asked for, and finally her tears stopped. She looked at Guan Gu Shenqi with her carrot-like eyes.
"Deputy Minister Guan Gu, the situation in Peking has been unstable recently, but my father is very happy. He told my mother and I to stay at home and ignore those people who are buying boat tickets everywhere.
But last night, he was suddenly arrested by the military police and has not returned since. I am afraid that he has met with an accident, so I shamelessly came to you to ask for help. If you need to smooth things over, we will pay for it, no matter how much it is!"
Guan Gu Shenqi frowned. The gendarmerie started arresting people?
Now all the agencies in Beijing have begun to evacuate, and half of the North China Front Command has already evacuated. The Confidential Affairs Section is the key department in organizing the evacuation, because it needs to destroy secret documents, clean up traces of the war of aggression, and avoid enemy sabotage. It is the last group to board the transport ship heading south.
Why would the gendarmerie arrest people at this critical moment, and without informing the confidential department?
Yang Xue's father, Yang Wanli, is the president of the Peking Federation of Industry and Commerce and is very influential in Peking's business community. Could it be that the Japanese devils wanted to force him to lead Peking's business community to move south collectively and hollow out Peking?
Hiss, Guan Gu Shenqi took a breath of cold air.
If this is the case, even if Beijing is taken over, it will become a ghost town and the economic order will be severely disrupted.
Moreover, since the Japanese could do this in Beijing, other cities must be the same, including Tianjin, Qingdao, Yantai, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Fuzhou...
Therefore, he had to find out the truth, report it to the Independent Column, and work out a plan.
Guan Gu Shenqi thought about it again and again. Since this matter was carried out in secret, the person in charge must be an intelligence officer. In the North China Front Command, there was only one person who appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the past few days, and that was Naoko Nakajima who was temporarily transferred from the confidential department!
"Ms. Yang, this matter may be a little complicated. If you trust me, please go back home and wait for my news."
Yang Xue nodded and left the cafe.
Guan Gu Shenqi did not stay, but went directly to Zui Xiang Lou.
The whole of Peking is in chaos now, and not many people care where he goes.
After going up to the second floor of Zui Xiang Lou, Guan Gu Shenqi ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine as usual.
"Youyou, the Japanese are starting to evacuate."
Tang Youyou had a look of longing on her face, as if she saw good days waving at them.
"Well, we are on the verge of victory!"
"But now there is a situation. You should immediately inform your superiors and ask them to come up with a plan as soon as possible..."
Guan Gu Shenqi described Yang Wanli's situation, and then revealed his own unit's bold assumptions.
"Okay Guan Gu, I'll report this to my superiors immediately. This matter is of great importance. Although the Japanese have decided to evacuate, I'm afraid they will become desperate. You should be careful!"
"Yeah, you too! Dawn is coming!"
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he left Zui Xiang Lou and returned to the North China Front Army Headquarters.
At this moment, the documents in the headquarters were scattered all over the floor, and the confidential classroom was also in a mess. Only the gendarmerie headquarters on the first floor was quiet. It seemed that they had a new office space.
Guan Gu Shenqi came to the gendarmerie, pushed open the door, and found no one there.
Just as he was about to retreat, a familiar figure jumped out from a corner.
"Deputy Minister Guan Gu, are you here to see me? Or are you here to see Yang Wanli?"
Guan Gu Shenqi's eyes narrowed, and he looked seriously at Nakajima Seiko who suddenly appeared.
"Haha, it turns out to be Section Chief Nakajima. I am really surprised by your sudden appearance. That's right, Yang Xue came to me today and said that Yang Wanli was arrested by the military police and asked me to help find out the situation."
The corners of Nakajima Seiko's mouth twitched upwards. Although she was somewhat surprised by Guan Gu Shenqi's frankness, as a veteran intelligence agent, this was basic operation: don't tell blatant lies!
"Deputy Minister Guan Gu is honest. I can tell you responsibly that Yang Wanli has indeed been captured by us."
"you?"
"Haha, that's right. I was seconded to the Military Police and was in charge of the Nanyan Project. It has something to do with Yang Wanli."
Guan Gu Shenqi frowned, as if he smelled a conspiracy.
"The Nanyan Project? Why don't I, the deputy director of the confidential department, know about it?"
"This is an order directly issued by the Japanese General Staff Headquarters. Of course, it is not just in Peking, other cities are also carrying out this operation."
"I understand. Since you kept it a secret from me, it must be an extremely important mission. So you should abide by the rules, right? I was asked by Yang Xue. If it conflicts with the interests of the empire, just pretend that I don't know."
Nakajima Naoko looked at Guan Gu Shenqi with some worry and amusement. It seemed that this time it was no longer about work, but pure resentment between a man and a woman.
"Guangu-kun, if you treat Yang Xue's entrustment like this, aren't you afraid that the little beauty will cry?"
"Hehe, I'm not very familiar with her. We've only attended a few events together. Are you jealous?"
I'm not afraid of bad men acting like hooligans, but I'm afraid of honest people saying dirty words.
Although Nakajima Naoko was married during the puppet state of Manchukuo, that was all for the needs of intelligence work.
Therefore, she has the body of a young woman and the feelings of a young girl.
"Guangu-kun, is there no woman in this world that you can be moved by?"
Guan Gu Shenqi looked at Nakajima Naoko's affectionate eyes and found it a little hard to understand. Could this be another of the female intelligence agent's secret weapon?
"Haha, can intelligence officers be emotional?"
Nakajima Naoko's eyes suddenly became cold, even revealing a hint of desolation.
"Haha, Deputy Minister Guan Gu, it seems that you are very clear-headed. Then let me advise you again. The top leaders attach great importance to the Nanyan plan. It involves the future of the empire. After these materials are transferred to the south, they will continue to provide power for the war!"
Wang Meng looked at Nakajima Chengzi with a stern face, feeling a little surprised. She risked leaking the secrets to reveal the main idea of the Nanyan plan. Was it not just a warning, but more of a last will after her heart died?
"Ms. Nakajima, you..."
“My thoughts, my thoughts, my dreams.”
Before leaving, Naoko Naoko glanced at the cabinet beside her and then looked at Guan Gu Shenqi.
"Vice Minister Guan Gu, please do not touch that cabinet."
Guan Gu Shenqi looked at Nakajima Naoko's lonely back and felt a lot of emotion. A woman in her forties, who had fought with Kawashima Yoshiko for half her life, married for the sake of intelligence career, and lived a life of wandering.
This full evacuation seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
