Shadow Spy

Chapter 72 Female students’ cry for help

Another important reason why Li Junhao doesn't like legal currency is that in the system mall, legal currency cannot be exchanged for gold coins at all.But the problem he faces now is that he has ordered a large amount of cotton yarn, cotton cloth, paper stationery, mechanical and electrical products and other goods, and will have to pay 200 million French currency in ten days. Where will the money come from?He currently has 5 pounds and 20 U.S. dollars in bulk currency. According to the current official exchange rate, 1 pound = 4.2 U.S. dollars = 21 French currency, which is enough to pay for the goods, but according to the black market price, it will be a big loss.

After thinking for a long time, he came up with two ways. One was to find a bank, use the pounds and US dollars in his hands as reverse mortgage, pay 200 million French currency for the goods, and sell the materials after bartering to repay the loan. This would require some handling fees. Generally speaking, it will still be profitable; the second method is to first go to the black market to exchange foreign currency for legal currency. If the operation is done well, you can exchange it for 20 million legal currency with only 200 US dollars. This solves the problem once and for all, but you want to exchange it again later. It will take a lot of effort to get back $20.

In the end, he decided to use the second method, because he was sure that the barter trade with the military commander would definitely make a lot of money, and then exchange it for US dollars. Although it was laborious, it was not impossible; and he also thought of A very important question. If he borrowed foreign currency through a bank, it would be impossible for such a large amount of money to go unnoticed. Don’t forget, his current identity is a diplomat of the Consulate General, which is equivalent to exposing his secret to the public. In front of others, the Consulate General and other parties will know that this is not a good thing.

However, he has no connections in the black market. Should he go to the black market to find it by himself?Of course that is a joke. This is not an exchange for hundreds or thousands, but 20. If someone who is unfamiliar with it dares to accept it, he would not dare to exchange it!

After thinking for a while, he thought of Wen Qiang again. As the station manager directly under the Military Command's Shanghai Station, even if he didn't have access to the black market, his subordinates would definitely have it. However, he had to use the help of the military commander before he could trade with the Military Command. Do their channels make them look too inferior?Forget it, let’s find another way! ——
When he got off work, Yuri was waiting for him in front of the car. After two days of rest, he continued to transform his guard duties, providing 24-hour personal protection, and even received a Tomlin submachine gun.

Although Li Junhao felt it was unnecessary, since it was the order from Consul General Ayres, he could only accept it.

As soon as the car left the door, two female students suddenly blocked the car. Yuri was startled and he braked hurriedly!Li Junhao, who was sitting in the back row, didn't know the situation and was shaken. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his head would have hit the backrest of the front row!Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw two female students running to the car, gesticulating anxiously and saying something.

Li Junhao hurriedly got out of the car, signaled the two girls to calm down, and said: "Two classmates, do you have something to do with me? Don't be anxious, speak slowly!"

When the two girls saw him getting out of the car, they breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down for a while, one of them said: "Mr. Diplomat, do you still remember us? More than ten days ago, Zui Baichi..."

Um?Li Junhao thought for a moment and vaguely remembered the two girls, so he said, "I remember, are you students from Fudan?"

"Yes, sir!" the two girls said happily, and then became anxious again. The girl who spoke before said again: "Sir, please save our teacher, she was captured by the spies..."

"Yes, sir, you know our teacher, please save her..." Another girl also said anxiously.

"Your teacher?" Li Junhao thought of the female lecturer at Fudan University who spoke fluent English. "Is it Teacher Li Xiaoyu? Who took her away?"

"It's Teacher Li! The dog agent No. 76 did it..." said the two girls.

Li Junhao saw that the two girls couldn't get to the point, so he asked directly: "Where is he now?" "She must have been arrested in the patrol room..." said a girl.

Another girl added: "The spies also followed, saying they were going to hand over something..."

"Is it the patrol house in the public concession?" Li Junhao continued to ask clearly.

"Yes..." said the two girls.

Li Junhao understood and immediately walked towards the gate of the Consulate General, where there was a telephone. After the Japanese army occupied the Huajie area of ​​Shanghai, they used various means to force the Concession Police Department to allow them to enter the concession to arrest anti-Japanese people. It was stipulated that there must be patrols to follow. You can only entertain them together, and after you catch someone, you must first go to the police station to go through the arrest procedures before they can be handed over to the Japanese side. This process can be very fast.So he had to call immediately to stop the handover.

His call went directly to the general duty room of the Public Settlement Police Department. As soon as he was connected, he said: "I am Ognyan LI Panson, First Attaché of the U.S. Consulate General. There is something that needs you to implement immediately. Suddenly, a female teacher from Fudan University was caught by Agent No. 76 and taken to the patrol room. I ask you to protect this female teacher immediately and not to hand her over or allow anyone to take her away!"

"Mr. Pan Sen, this is not in line with the agreement we reached with Japan..." said the voice on the other side of the phone.

"Tell you, Director, I am making the request on behalf of the U.S. Consulate General!" Li Junhao said forcefully, "I will rush over immediately and handle the matter personally. If anything goes wrong with this female teacher when I arrive, I will strictly hold the person involved accountable!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

At this time, Sergeant Maris Hall, the leader of the third shift of the guard, who was leading the team on duty at the gate, saw that his expression was wrong, and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Panson, what happened? Do you need help?"

"Hmph! A group of traitor agents from No. 76 captured a friend of mine and sent him to the central arrest room. I want to go there to rescue him!" Li Junhao said, with a thought in his heart, "Sergeant Hall, bring a few team members and me How about we go together and help me suppress the situation?"

"No problem!" Sergeant Hall agreed immediately, called a team member to give a few instructions, and then took most of the six team members in the class, drove into a military jeep, and set off with Li Junhao's car.

The Public Settlement Police Station and Central Police Station is located at No. 220 Fuzhou Road, between the intersection of Jiangxi Middle Road and Henan Middle Road. It is very close to the Consulate General and only takes a few minutes to get there.

When he arrived at the door, Li Junhao looked up at this tall building with ten floors of reinforced concrete structure facing south and facing north, surrounded by four buildings. In this era, it was very spectacular!
Under the north building on the roadside is a high crossing-style gate. When the guard saw two cars approaching with American flags, they immediately let them go. The two cars drove directly into the courtyard surrounded by four buildings...
