Qi Linyuan quickly flipped through the stack of documents, his sharp gaze finally settling on three words.
—Wusongkou.
He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while:
"Jingjing, are you saying that Qian Yan's things came from here? In other words, the secret transport route that the Emperor of Yingzhou had opened up stopped at Wusongkou?"
“Yes.” Si Jin sat down next to him and leaned lazily on his shoulder.
His deep, peach-blossom eyes held a hint of excited amusement:
"Don't you love blowing up ships? This will be the perfect place for you to show off your skills."
… …
As a result, Wusongkou was completely shut down for inspection within seven days.
All ships transporting prohibited items, regardless of their value or ownership, shall be destroyed.
At the same time, Lu Zhiyang, with Qian Yan's list, isolated all those who had been in contact with pornography and confiscated all pornography in Shanghai.
The Qi family acted swiftly and decisively, which quickly alerted Fujita Ichiro.
… …
Inside the office of the Yingzhou Mission.
Fujita Itsuki slammed a stack of documents onto Hirata Saburo, roaring furiously:
"What kind of mess did you make?!"
Why was Qian Yan's opium den raided?!
Why was the route through Wusongkou discovered?! Do you know how many brave warriors from Yingzhou risked their lives to open up this route?!
We've been here on a six-month mission to investigate Shanghai and weaken Qi Linyuan's power. Now, Qi Linyuan's power hasn't diminished; in fact, he's lost Wusongkou! With this outcome, how can I return to report to His Majesty?
All of you are to stay here today and are not allowed to leave.
Unless you devise a way to kill Qi Linyuan, you should all commit seppuku to atone for your sins!
The already serious office became even more oppressive after Fujita Yi got angry.
All the subordinates in the office were trembling with fear, and they stayed there together from eight in the morning until eight at night.
Finally, Saburo Hirata stammered as he spoke:
“Mr. Fujita, we can lure the tiger away from the mountain and carry out an assassination.”
Fujita Isamu's eyes swept over:
How do I adjust it?
Qi Linyuan now controls Shanghai, and all the forces under his command are the result of generations of the Qi family's influence, making them highly effective in combat and cohesion.
If he discovers something amiss and leads his troops in a fierce battle, we might not be able to win!
Hirata replied:
"I...I heard that Qi Linyuan has recently become obsessed with an actress from Peach Blossom Garden named Pei Sijin. He protects her like a treasure every day, practically hanging her on his body."
"Why don't we have someone secretly take Pei Sijin away, then tell Qi Linyuan that we've kidnapped him, and make him come here alone to negotiate for his rescue? At that point, he shouldn't dare not come."
"You make it sound so easy!" Fujita Yi retorted angrily.
"Pei Sijin stays in the heavily guarded Qi residence every day and rarely goes out. How can you guarantee that you can lure him out in a short time?!"
“Use, use his ex-lover, that one, the son of the Chamber of Commerce president, Zhou Xingbang.”
Hirata Saburo was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, trying his best to explain:
“I heard that Pei Sijin used to be very fond of Zhou Xingbang. She even dressed as a woman for him. We can ask... ask Zhou Xingbang to help us arrange a meeting with him.”
Then, they acted secretly!
Fujita Yi pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
Hirata accepted the order and only dared to breathe a sigh of relief after he had left the house.
Good heavens! Commander Fujita's temper is terrifying.
Furthermore, Qi Linyuan, who is not afraid of death, dared to challenge the authority of Yingzhou on his own.
Then don't blame him for being ruthless.
… …
Since Qi Linyuan's last visit to the Zhou family, Zhou Xingbang has been confined at home for five consecutive days.
Today I finally got my father's permission to go out, and I immediately made plans with a few of my friends to go to the club to have some fun.
As a result, before they could play for long, Hirata Saburo and his men dragged them away.
Standing in a closed room, surrounded by several thugs, I was given instructions for several hours.
Zhou Xingbang was so frightened that his legs went weak.
He dared not say a word except to unconditionally agree to Hirata's request.
Finally, at 2:00 PM, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, I arrived at the gate of the Qi residence.
