Chapter 565
鈥淎re you really planning to leave?鈥�
鈥淲ell, this is a rare opportunity. Chen Cixiu personally asked for me from the Secret Service. Can I not go?鈥�
鈥淒o you know what it means if you go?鈥�
鈥淒on’t worry, in three to five years at most, we’ll meet again,鈥� Cheng Mo said, patting Wen Qiu on the shoulder. 鈥淪enior, don’t you trust me yet?鈥�
In fact, Cheng Mo knew very well that if the course of history remained unchanged, he and Wen Qiu would never meet again in this life.
Wen Qiu silently took out a cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette from it, lit it, and took a drag.
鈥淲hat about Chiyoko and the kids?鈥�
鈥淚 respect their choices, whether they stay, go to Japan, or go with me there, it’s fine,鈥� Cheng Mo said, 鈥淪enior, I want to ask the organization for two people?鈥�
“Who?鈥�
鈥淭ang Tao and Qin Chi.鈥�
鈥漌hy not Lao Xu?鈥� Wen Qiu was very surprised.
鈥滾ao Xu is old and in poor health. He has a family to support, and it would be too dangerous for him to follow me.鈥� Cheng Mo took a breath and said, 鈥極nce we get there, I need people I can trust. I’ll take Lei Gang with me too. He’s not a party member and he’s not married, so he doesn’t have any dependents.鈥�
鈥滻’ll recommend this proposal to my superiors,鈥� Wen Song said, taking a drag on his cigarette and considering the matter.
鈥淪enior, you should smoke less. You’re more addicted to cigarettes than I am now,鈥� Cheng Mo couldn’t help but suggest. 鈥榊our wife is not in good health, and your family depends on you alone. You can’t let anything happen to you.鈥�
鈥滻 know, it’s only been ten years, and you’re just leaving…鈥� Wen Song’s eyes turned red. Who said that men don’t cry, they just don’t cry easily.
鈥漇enior, after I leave, you should find a way to transfer out of Shanghai,鈥� Cheng Mo suggested.
鈥漌hat do you mean?鈥� 鈥淔or your safety, and for mine.”
Wen Qiu was silent. Cheng Mo’s suggestion was one he really couldn’t ignore. His identity was too important, and his safety absolutely had to be ensured.
All those connected to Cheng Mo and aware of his identity had to be kept safe. Evacuating from Shanghai might be the simplest and most effective solution.
Cheng Mo simply left Shanghai with his family. His businesses remained intact and were handed over to his sister Cheng Hua to manage, but the focus of his investments shifted overseas, especially to the United States.
Cheng Mo invested all the money he had earned in the US stock market, and after the war, he made a fortune. He then invested wildly in industry and high-tech, and exploited to the full the advantages he knew in his head.
His wealth then exploded, which was staggering at the time, and even compared to the assets of the four families in the US, it was not far behind.
However, no one knew, his wealth was all scattered, controlled and held on behalf of others under different identities.
His in-laws also moved to Hong Kong afterwards.
After the liberation, the Lv Le family also went to Hong Kong.
Upon arrival on the other side of the strait, on his first day as police chief, Cheng Mo arrested a man named 鈥淚wata Masao鈥� and had him executed for the crime of being a traitor.
