In fact, Wan Mulin had already seen Wu Shicai. As soon as Wu Shicai appeared in the cabin, Wan Mulin knew that things were not going to go well today.
Wu Shicai and Wan Mulin naturally knew each other. However, at that time, Wan Mulin was a powerful assistant to the big boss Yue Sheng, wielding great power and commanding a large following. He was one of the most influential figures in Shanghai. Wu Shicai, on the other hand, was just a minor leader under Li Yunqing. Their status and position were vastly different, so Wu Shicai recognized Wan Mulin.
Wan Mulin also possessed an exceptional talent: his memory was astonishing.
He could remember the phone numbers of everyone he was connected with, even the addresses and phone numbers of Yue Sheng's guests and friends. It was said that he could memorize hundreds of phone numbers. If Yue Sheng forgot a phone number, he only needed to ask Wan Mulin.
The same applies to people. Wan Mulin could remember all the big names in the Green Gang after just one meeting. Based on this ability, he became Yue Sheng's most capable assistant and even handled gang affairs for Yue Sheng at one point, holding a very high position in the Green Gang.
Wan Mulin knew very well that Wu Shicai was now the captain of the action team at the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, yet he appeared at the Wusongkou Customs Wharf and even personally boarded the ship for inspection. Needless to say, he must be here for him.
He was filled with remorse, regretting that he hadn't listened to Chai Liang's advice. If he had chosen a different path, this wouldn't have happened.
Wu Shicai looked at Wan Mulin triumphantly. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Ever since receiving Li Zhiqun's order, he had been worried about how to arrest Wan Mulin, a veteran of the Green Gang, in the French Concession. He knew that it was the Green Gang's gathering place, and if he wasn't careful, he would cause a lot of trouble.
However, the men he sent to monitor Wan Mulin quickly discovered that Wan Mulin was about to leave Shanghai urgently. Upon receiving the report, Wu Shicai immediately reported to Li Zhiqun and then rushed to the Wusongkou Customs to intercept the passenger ship. They arrived in time and blocked Wan Mulin there.
Seeing Wu Shicai's smug look, Wan Mulin calmed himself down and said indifferently, "Captain Wu, what are you doing here so late? Are you here to see me off?"
Wu Shicai looked at Wan Mulin and said in a deep voice, "Seeing you off? Hmph! Uncle Mulin, let's not beat around the bush. Your affair has been exposed, so please come with me!"
After saying that, he stepped aside, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation. Wan Mulin still held considerable prestige, and Wu Shicai didn't want to make things too ugly, otherwise his reputation would suffer.
Wan Mulin knew there was no way to escape, so he stood up, picked up the suitcase beside him, and stepped out of the cabin, with Wu Shicai and his group following closely behind.
An hour later, in an isolation room at the Special Agent Headquarters, Li Zhiqun pushed open the door and entered. Looking at Wan Mulin sitting there calmly, he bowed to him with feigned enthusiasm and said with a smile, "Uncle Mulin, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here again. It's such a surprise."
Wan Mulin looked coldly at Li Zhiqun, too lazy to deal with this hypocritical fellow, and directly asked, "Tell me, why did you bring me here?"
Li Zhiqun had a smile on his face, but his gaze gradually turned cold. He was overjoyed that Wan Mulin had been captured so quickly. What he was most concerned about now was, of course, the whereabouts of Gao Tao and the other man.
Seeing that Wan Mulin asked directly, Li Zhiqun stopped beating around the bush and nodded, saying, "Uncle Mulin is so straightforward. Alright, I'll get straight to the point. I just want to know where Gao Zhiwu and Tao Chengyuan are right now?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Mulin knew that the question was indeed about this matter. He was already prepared, so he put on a blank look and asked in surprise, "What are you talking about? What Gao and Wu? I don't know either of those people you're talking about!"
Li Zhiqun chuckled, his tone hardening: "Uncle Mulin, you're not telling the truth! We've already investigated the matter thoroughly. It was you who sent men to attack my men the night before last, kidnapping Gao Tao and the other man. Now the Japanese and Mr. Wang have given a death order to bring them back. I had no choice but to invite you here. If you hand them over now, things can still be salvaged. But if you insist on concealing the truth, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"What's the point of saying all this?" Wan Mulin said dismissively. Of course, he would never admit it. If he did, he would never be able to leave this door.
"I really don't know the two people you mentioned. I came back to Shanghai this time just to manage Mr. Yue's finances, and I didn't do anything else!"
"Stubborn to the end!"
Li Zhiqun cursed fiercely. He knew that it would be impossible to get Wan Mulin to talk by simply asking questions. Now that he was eager to catch up with Gao Tao and the other two, he didn't want to waste any more words. He waved his hand, and several action team members walked in from outside. Without saying a word, they grabbed Wan Mulin from both sides and dragged him out.
Li Zhiqun was ruthless and had no scruples. He took Wan Mulin to the interrogation room and immediately began to torture him to extract a confession.
To his surprise, Wan Mulin, though pampered and privileged, was a rare ruthless character at heart. No matter how severely Li Zhiqun tortured him, even when he was covered in blood and bruises, Wan Mulin refused to utter a single word and resolutely denied Gao Tao and the other man's affair.
Looking at Wan Mulin, who was now covered in blood, Li Zhiqun couldn't help but feel discouraged. In fact, he wasn't entirely sure if Wan Mulin was related to Gao Tao and the other man's defection.
Based on Wan Mulin's unusual behavior, he deduced that Wan Mulin was likely involved. However, due to pressure from above to bring Gao Tao and Wan Mulin back in a short period of time, Li Zhiqun decided to arrest Wan Mulin in desperation.
