Lin Yu walked out of the study, and Feng Jiu came over.
“Young Marshal, we have just found out that Wu Xueqin is not in the manor. She has been placed in Shangdong Flower Villa by the Commander-in-Chief! She is being watched both inside and outside! Do you think I should send someone to bring her here?” Feng Jiu asked.
Lin Yu waved his hand, "No need, I promised Lin Yuanlong I'd give him a week! We're father and son, I'll give him that face!"
Lin Yu glanced back with a cold smile and headed towards the stairs.
Old Town, Upper East Garden Villas.
The old-fashioned villas stand side by side, weathered by time.
Although its former glory has faded, the environment is still quite clean.
This is where the inspection team detains corrupt officials and political prisoners.
Even if someone has committed a serious crime, being imprisoned here means they still receive a basic level of dignity in their daily life.
Aside from not being able to come and go freely, they have no worries about food and clothing.
In a deserted villa, Wu Xueqin, her hair disheveled, sat on the sofa, wolfing down her noodles.
Having gotten used to a life of luxury, these days in the police station's prison, in its dirty and chaotic environment, I feel like I'm about to have a mental breakdown!
call!
After slurping down the last mouthful of noodles, Wu Xueqin slumped onto the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.
She would never have even glanced at this kind of food before, but she never expected it to be so delicious.
"Madam! Xiao Hong is here!"
Just then, a servant led a maid in.
It was Xiao Hong, Wu Xueqin's capable maid.
"Xiao Hong, you're here!" Wu Xueqin quickly pulled her over.
"Have there been any news from Yandu during this time?"
Xiao Hong hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"Why are you shaking your head! Didn't I tell you to send a message to the Wu family, asking them to come and rescue me? Did you deliver the message?"
When Xiaohong visited the prison last time, Wu Xueqin assigned her this task.
She knew she had committed a heinous crime of treason, and only her family could save her.
Xiao Hong bit her lip and said, "Madam, the Wu family already knows about your imprisonment. The head of the family was furious on the spot, saying that you have disgraced the Wu family and even threatened to kick you out of the family!"
"He really said that?" Wu Xueqin's face turned extremely ugly.
"No, that's impossible! My dad loves me the most, how could he just stand by and watch me die!" Wu Xueqin couldn't believe it.
Xiao Hong sighed and said, "Madam, please don't blame the head of the family. In matters of treason, it's all about the victor and the vanquished. If it had succeeded, it would have been fine! But now the commander-in-chief is still alive. He is the dignified King of the Northeast, so the head of the family naturally has to consider the commander-in-chief's dignity!"
Wu Xueqin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her body trembled uncontrollably. After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes.
"You little bastard! I admit defeat this time! But I, Wu Xueqin, will not lose forever. I will never forgive you!" Wu Xueqin gritted her teeth.
Now, she and Lin Yu are locked in a life-or-death struggle.
"By the way, Madam, the other day, someone delivered a visiting card. It was from Japan, and his name is Murakami Akiki!"
As Xiao Hong spoke, she handed over a visiting card.
“Murakami?” Wu Xueqin was taken aback.
She had heard her family mention this surname before. The Murakami family was a powerful and influential clan in Japan, and their status in the country was almost the same as that of the Wu family in China!
A very powerful family!
I don't know why the other person is contacting me.
Xiao Hong continued, "This villager is currently the president of the Yamaguchi Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has no fewer than a hundred companies of all sizes, mostly Japanese merchants. It is a large organization that has been quietly developing in the three provinces of Fengtian over the years. Its strength is not to be underestimated!"
"Yamaguchi Chamber of Commerce?" Wu Xueqin's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "When you have time, could you help me make an appointment with this person? This Yamaguchi Chamber of Commerce might be able to be of use to me!"
Xiao Hong hesitated for a moment, then reminded her, "Madam, as you know, the Commander-in-Chief has never had a good impression of the Japanese. If he finds out that you met with this villager in secret..."
"I can't worry about that anymore!" Wu Xueqin waved her hand, a cold glint in her eyes.
To deal with Lin Yu now, we must win over all the forces we can, even the Japanese!
...
That night.
A Japanese-style villa called 'Sakura Mansion' is located by the river.
On the tatami mat, an old man and a young man knelt facing each other.
Two women in kimonos knelt beside her, serving her tea.
“Father, I’ve been in Feng City for two days and I’ve found out the situation at the Governor’s Mansion! Madam Wu Xueqin’s rebellion failed and she has been imprisoned. It’s probably impossible for us to use her to complete our plan!”
The tall Japanese man bowed his head and respectfully reported to the middle-aged man opposite him, who was wearing a long-sleeved kimono.
This middle-aged man is none other than Murakami Akiki, the president of the Yamaguchi-gumi Chamber of Commerce.
The man who reported this to him was his son, Kento Murakami.
The father and son operated in Fengfu for several years, establishing the Yamaguchi Trading Company, which was actually supported by high-ranking officials in Japan.
In the past month, the situation in the covert war has changed. A new force has joined the Ironclad Pagoda, greatly increasing its strength and causing heavy losses to the Japanese Ninja Way School!
Not long ago, the father and son received orders to come to Fengtian, attempting to infiltrate the Fengtian army and turn the tide of the war!
Murakami Akiki frowned. Originally, Murakami planned to contact Wu Xueqin, after all, she was the wife of a warlord and a young lady of the Wu family, with extraordinary influence.
But now that Wu Xueqin has committed the heinous crime of treason and is imprisoned, he is no longer of much use to him.
Murakami Kento continued his report: "Father, the person in charge of the Feng Mansion now is Lin Yuanlong's second son, Lin Yu! He has been wandering outside for many years and was only recently summoned back to the Lu family. After returning, he was appointed by Lin Yuanlong as the commander of the Futu Army. Moreover, I just received news that Lin Yuanlong has gone to the capital to report on his duties and ordered Lin Yu to take charge of all affairs. We can start with this Lin Yu!"
