Chapter 278.

“Cheng, they didn’t give you a hard time, did they?”

Coming out of the conference room, Cheng Mo bumped into Pryde head on and gave a very concerned inquiry.

“No, let Mr. Pryde worry.”

“Go, I’ll take you to see Mr. Tony.” Pryde pulled Cheng Mo and headed out, getting into his own automobile and heading to Jardine Matheson.

Tony Kai Ziwei, apart from being the Deputy Chief Director of the Bureau of Public Works, was also the Taipan of Jardine Matheson, and he usually dealt with matters in the office of Jardine Matheson.

Inside the office.

Miss Secretary brings hot coffee.

Tony Kai Ziwei was also quite shocked after listening to Pryde and Cheng Mo’s narration, he didn’t expect the conflict between Cheng Mo and Akagi Kiyoyuki to intensify to this point.

Cheng Mo explained that he didn’t take the initiative to provoke the other party, and this time, he was called over to talk, completely inexplicably and caught off guard.

Akagi Kiyoyuki meddling in the personnel of the Political Unit of the Police Department of the Bureau of Public Works, this is Tony Kai Ziwei can not tolerate, the Political Unit is the British Intelligence Bureau Far East Intelligence Group in the Patrol Room of the organization that is at the behest of the Far East Intelligence Group.

It was simply ridiculous that the Japanese wanted to use such a poor excuse to relieve Cheng Mo of his duties.

There had to be a reason why they were in such a hurry to relieve Cheng Mo of his duties, otherwise they would not have used such a method.

It all boils down to the case.

It was obvious that last night’s shooting was related to the Japanese, and they were so impatient to take Cheng Mo down because they were afraid that he would find out the real culprit in the case.

As long as he was kicked out of the arresting officer’s office or forced to rest, in that case, the investigation of the case would not have the slightest connection with him.

But is this too hasty? Or was this case holding their seven inches, and it was quite unfavorable to them now?

“Cheng, if this case is given to you to investigate yourself, are you sure you can find out the truth?” Tony Kai Ziwei asked.

“Of course I can find out the truth, but this truth finding out may not be a good thing.” Cheng Mo said calmly and objectively.

“Don’t you want to know who is trying to kill you?”

“I want to know, but I can’t know.” Cheng Mo said, “Because, I’ve already guessed who it is.”

“You guessed who it is?”

“Didn’t I just arrest a Japanese plainclothes gendarme, besides them, who else would retaliate immediately?” Cheng Mo said, “If it’s Ji Yunqing, there are many opportunities in the past, there’s no need to choose at this time, and it’s still so close to the four-mile road patrol room one, Ji Yunqing wants to retaliate against me, he won’t choose this method, it’s not a matter of death and life between us.”

“Only the bold Japanese can do such a thing, especially those inferior Japanese gendarmes!”

“Akagi Kiyoyuki’s real purpose may not be to get thrown out of the Kobo Patrol Office, he’s not a fool, neither Mr. Ba nor you will agree to that, but if it can stop me from investigating this case, then there is room for maneuver.” Cheng Mo said.

“You mean, as long as you find someone to carry this case, they take off out.” Pryde said.

“Right, the person who assassinates me can be Ji Yunqing’s men, the Blue Clothes Society, or even the Anti-Japanese Traitor Killing Troupe, as long as they are not Japanese.”

“It does seem to be the case, they are obviously afraid of being caught by us again.” Pryde also agreed with Cheng Mo’s analysis and judgment.

Having already been caught once and made a fool of themselves, not only do they have to apologize, but they also have to pay for the money, if they were to be caught once more and stabbed internationally, it would be even more humiliating.

Even if the Japanese are thick-skinned, the people who planned this incident are to be disposed of and held responsible for it.

Moreover, they themselves were internally conflicted from the inside, so once they were utilized by their opponents, the consequences would be imaginable.

“Cheng, what do you think we should do next?” Tony Kai Ziwei sent a question to Cheng Mo.

“If this is just an attack against me personally, then I’ll take the blame, but if it’s because I’m being treated because I’m working for the Bureau of Public Works, I hope that the Bureau of Public Works and Mr. Tony will do me justice.” Cheng Mo said in an unassuming manner.

“It’s like you said, if the Japanese had planned this operation, would you have done so?” Tony Kai Ziwei asked.

“Punish them severely.”

“Good, I know your claim, let’s wait for the results of the investigation of this case to come out first.” Tony Kai Ziwei said, “Pryde, you personally keep an eye on the investigation of the murderer behind this case, especially the statements of the two living gunmen.”

“Yes, Mr. Tony Vice President Dong.”

“Cheng, after such a big incident, you don’t need to go to work today, go home and rest for a day, if there is any news from Pryde’s side, you will be notified first.” Tony Kai Ziwei instructed.

“Thank you Mr. Tony.”

“No need to be polite, you’re our man, the fact that they struck out at you with such disregard for the rules is a provocation to us, they must be taught a lesson!” Tony Kai Ziwei said heavily.

Although Cheng Mo knew that Tony Kai Ziwei’s words were just a mouthful, but at least it was said, it was better than those who simply ignored you.

“Chief, are you alright?”

“What can I do, what you guys should do, do what you should do, I have to go home and rest, Mr. Ba gave me a day off.” Cheng Mo smilingly said to Xu Qinghe.

“Yes.”

“That one find a lawyer for me, help me send a lawyer’s letter to that newspaper that blindly wrote the report, either withdraw the article and apologize, or sue it in court, let it choose.” Cheng Mo commanded. “Really sue?”

“Of course, do you think I’m joking?”

“OK, I’ll find one for you, I reckon, they wouldn’t dare to go against you, they will definitely withdraw the article and apologize.” Xu Qinghe said.

“I’m not being unreasonable, as long as I withdraw the article and apologize.”

Ningbo Chamber of Commerce Hall.

Although Cheng Mo was put on leave, he didn’t go back immediately, but went to see Tang Tao, there were some things that he had to report to the organization to explain.

He didn’t have time to meet Wen Qiu now, so he had to come to Tang Tao.

“I arrested that Japanese plainclothes gendarme that was also authorized by the senior management of the Bureau of Public Works, but the Japanese have now launched an assassination against me, it’s really troublesome.” Cheng Mo said as he sat in his chair with his head hanging down.

“This matter originally had nothing to do with you, now they have launched an assassination against you, if this one doesn’t work, they will continue, what about your safety?” Tang Tao said.

“If they don’t succeed once, they may not continue for a second time, I have to figure out which department planned this assassination and target the problem.” Cheng Mo said.

“You want to ease the relationship with the Japanese side?” Tang Tao asked.

“The Japanese Foreign Ministry intelligence department used Chiyoko to maintain a close relationship with me, this shows that they are still hoping that I can cooperate with them, and have no intention to put me to death, at least, the Foreign Ministry side doesn’t have such an idea, and what’s targeting me is just an internal force in Japan, and if this one doesn’t work out, perhaps I can utilize Chiyoko to take the relationship a step further. ” Cheng Mo said.

“You want to use this opportunity to hook up with Iwai? ”

“The Inoue Public House is interested in me as well, it’s just that I’m not interested in a civilian intelligence agency made up of some downtrodden soldiers.” Cheng Mo said.

“You’ve long had plans to penetrate the Japanese consulate in Shanghai?”

“This is not my personal idea either, when Dai Yunong knew about my relationship with Chiyoko, he sent me a secret telegram asking me to try to maintain my relationship with Chiyoko, it was obvious that he also wanted to utilize my relationship with Chiyoko to penetrate the Japanese consulate in Shanghai in order to obtain relevant information.” Cheng Mo nodded.

“You’re already married, how can you still have a relationship with Chiyoko?”

“In Dai Yunong’s eyes, there is nothing that can’t be utilized, and if he really wanted to do so, he could even personally do Su Mo’er’s job to clear the way for me and Chiyoko.” Cheng Mo said, “But I won’t let him do that.”

“I can’t give you advice on this matter of yours, but I’ll make a report to Comrade Wenqiu right away.” Tang Tao said.

“Well, hard work.” Cheng Mo nodded.

Cheng Mo drove back to his home on Pingwang Street.

He was about to walk in the direction of the living room when he suddenly looked up and saw that in the living room, there were actually two familiar faces, one was his wife Su Moer.

The other was Chiyoko.

The two women were sitting together, precisely plum orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own beauty.

“Ah Mo, Cheng Mo Jun ……,” the two women seemed to be talking to each other, and when they saw Cheng Mo come in from outside, they all got up together.

“Chiyoko, what brings you here?”

“I saw from the newspaper that something happened to you, so I came over to take a look.” Chiyoko explained, “It just so happened that Dr. Su was at home, so we chatted some.”

“Chiyoko talked to me about some of the things you did in Japan, it was quite interesting.” Su Mo’er generously said, “By the way, I didn’t go on the street to buy food, so I didn’t prepare lunch, I originally planned to go out to eat with Chiyoko, and I didn’t know if you could come back?”

“Didn’t I say that I ordered a meal for you at the Plum Garden Restaurant, and they’ll bring it over to you when the time comes?” Cheng Mo said.

Su Moer smiled sarcastically, “I forgot about this when I was chatting with Chiyoko here.”

“Chiyoko is here, I’ll go order a few more dishes and ask them to send them over together when they’re done, I’m slacking off today.” Cheng Mo spread a smile and said.

“Trouble, I can actually go back to eat.”

“You came to the house, if you don’t even care about a meal, that’s not hospitality.” Cheng Mo hurriedly said, “I’ll go and return, you guys chat.”

Cheng Mo put down his things, turned around and went out again, Plum Garden Restaurant is on Pingwang Street, it’s very close, if the couple didn’t want to cook, they would just let the store make a good meal and send it over.

“They’ll send it over in half an hour.” A few moments later, Cheng Mo came back and explained to the two daughters.

However, when Cheng Mo sat down, three people, three pairs of eyes, you look at me, I look at you, all of a sudden actually cold, instead, it was not as comfortable as just Su Mo’er and Chiyoko chatting.

“Chiyoko said, you have a traveling Shanghai alumni party at the end of this month?” Su Mo’er picked up the conversation and asked.

“Well, there is such a thing, it’s not that the time hasn’t been finalized yet, and I don’t know if I’m free, this uncertainty, I didn’t mention it.” Cheng Mo explained.

“In fact, alumni reunion, this is very rare, just like me, alumni is too little, want to get together is difficult, only the Traveling France Reunion, last year invited me, I did not go.”

“This time we invited more alumni, there are quite a few Chinese alumni it, Cheng Mojun, there may be quite a few of them that you know, among them there are your seniors from the first two classes ……”

“Really, I haven’t seen him for a few years too.” Cheng Mo was slightly surprised that Chiyoko mentioned a familiar name.
