Wei Liangbi left the director's office and quickly arrived at Huang Xianzheng's home. He reported the contents of the telegram to Huang Xianzheng in person. Huang Xianzheng knew immediately that this matter must have been the director's doing, and he couldn't help but feel angry!

The departure of Gao and Tao is such a big deal that it will definitely cause a huge uproar in both China and Japan, and its impact will even have an international impact. However, the Director kept it a secret, leaving the Shanghai Intelligence Section aside and taking all the credit. His behavior is too ugly!

Huang Xianzheng grew increasingly angry and said fiercely, "What is Zhiheng up to in Shanghai? He should have informed me beforehand. We should have gotten involved no matter what, but now it's all someone else's credit. If things go wrong, we might have to clean up their mess!"

Wei Liangbi was also unwilling, but he still advised, "Zhiheng should also have some concerns, afraid of ruining this important matter, so he can only consider the overall situation. Moreover, I estimate that he may not have paid much attention to this matter before. In short, the matter is already settled, so you should not worry too much about it."

Wei Liangbi's guess was accurate. At first, although Ning Zhiheng knew that Wan Mulin had another mission after returning to Shanghai, he did not pay attention to it and did not investigate further. It was not until Gao and Tao's incident came to light that he revealed the whole story.

Huang Xianzheng snorted coldly. Now that the operation was complete, he naturally couldn't cause any more trouble. He said to Wei Liangbi, "Don't be too kind. We've given them our full support, rescuing people and giving them guns, but what have they done? They're more shrewd than us. In short, I must make things clear to them about this, or they'll suffer in the future!"

The next morning, at the Chen mansion in the French Concession of Shanghai, Chen Ting and Wan Mulin sat facing each other, both with smiles on their faces. Lei Daming, who was standing behind Chen Ting, spoke first and asked, "Uncle Mulin, is there any news from Hong Kong?"

Wan Mulin laughed and nodded, saying, "I received the notification last night that Gao and Tao have arrived safely in Hong Kong. This matter is finally a great success. Brother Yue is very satisfied. Brother Ting, you deserve the most credit. Brother Yue has already recommended you to the Chongqing government for commendation. In the future, if you need anything, just let me know, and I'll take care of everything! Haha!"

Chen Ting quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Mu Lin, we're all brothers, you're too kind! I've finally done my part for the country, and I feel much lighter now!"

Wan Mulin looked up at Lei Daming again and said, "Aming, you did a great job this time. The plan was meticulous and there were no mistakes along the way. You can tell me any ideas you have in the future. It won't be a problem to arrange a position for you in the Military Intelligence Bureau."

This operation was carried out by Lei Daming, so Wan Mulin was very satisfied with him. Nowadays, the Military Intelligence Bureau is recruiting people on a large scale, and there are many people from gangs. With Yue Sheng's connections, this is just a matter of a word.

Lei Daming was hesitant upon hearing this. He had never wanted to get too deeply involved in this conflict. He had only taken the risk of confronting No. 76 because he was forced by Wan Mulin. In the future, he still wanted to guard the concession and live a peaceful life!

He hurriedly declined, saying, "Uncle Mulin, you're joking. We've been hanging around in this concession since we were little. We don't have any great ambitions. We can only help you out."

Wan Mulin knew what the master and apprentice were thinking; they probably didn't have a high opinion of the Chongqing government and wanted to stick to their own little plot of land.

He didn't seem to mind, and with a slight wave of his hand, he said with a smile, "We'll talk about this later. In any case, I'll remember your contribution, and you'll definitely get your share of the benefits in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Daming felt relieved and changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Mulin, now that the matter is settled, you've accomplished your mission. When do you plan to return to Hong Kong?"

Lei Daming both respected and feared Wan Mulin. He was worried that Wan Mulin was staying too long and things might take a turn for the worse, so he asked.

"What? You think I'm in your way?" Wan Mulin smiled slightly and said calmly.

He naturally understood the concerns of the master and apprentice; they were afraid that if something happened to him, they would be implicated.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ting quickly stepped forward and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Mu Lin, don't misunderstand. We're doing this for your own good. Unlike us, Yue Sheng is registered with the Japanese. If you stay in Shanghai for too long, you'll attract too much attention. It's better not to take any risks."

Upon hearing this, Wan Mulin stopped insisting. He had indeed been delayed for too long this time, mainly because of this matter, and now it was time to retire gracefully.

He slapped the armrest of the sofa, laughed, and nodded in agreement, "Alright, Brother Yue Sheng also urged me to go back in the telegram, I will make arrangements as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ting and Lei Daming both secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

With Chen Ting and his apprentice seeing him off, Wan Mulin left Chen's mansion, got into a car, and said to Chai Liang in the front seat, "A-Si, book me a ferry ticket back to Hong Kong immediately, the sooner the better!"

Upon hearing this, Chai Liang quickly turned around and said, "Uncle Mulin, are you going back to Hong Kong?"

Wan Mulin glanced at Chai Liang meaningfully and nodded: "I've been back for quite some time now, and it's time for me to leave. Ah Si, you did a great job this time, and I remember your contribution!"

Chai Liang knew that Wan Mulin probably already had suspicions, but just didn't want to say it out loud. He still nodded respectfully and said, "Uncle Mulin, I think it's safer not to leave by passenger ship. There will definitely be inspections at the Wusongkou customs. I think it's safer to cross the river and go through Pudong."

Today, the Shanghai concessions are surrounded by the city center, and there are basically only a few routes to leave Shanghai. The most convenient way to get to Hong Kong is, of course, to take a passenger ship through the Wusongkou Customs and travel along the coastline to Hong Kong.
