The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 428 If You Can’t Stop It, Don’t Stop It
During this period, Tan Shaoliang did cooperate with the Japanese to capture many Military Control Commission and anti-Japanese elements, so it was natural for the Shanghai District 1 to hate him.

But if Tan Shaoliang died.

Will the Japanese make demands on themselves?
Cheng Mo wasn't sure.

But I must "cooperate" with the Japanese to do something, otherwise how can I gain their trust?

I also have to show my loyalty, otherwise how can I gain the trust of the Japanese?

Instead, he could ask the Military Control Commission to cooperate in the play, or simply sacrifice some people to allow him to fulfill this pledge of allegiance.

But this is still a stain. Even if the Military Control Commission personnel have weak willpower and will surrender if caught, he cannot do this on purpose.

Once Tan Shaoliang was killed and the Japanese came after him, how would he break the deadlock?
This question made Cheng Mo toss and turn and unable to sleep.

Su Moer also noticed that her husband seemed to be frowning all the time after he came back, as if he had something on his mind. He also tossed and turned several times when he slept at night. There were several times when she fell asleep, but was woken up by him tossing and turning.

There were some things that she didn't know she was inappropriate to ask, but she was Cheng Mo's wife and also a close comrade-in-arms, so she had to ask.

"Amo, are you still awake?"

"Did I wake you up?" Cheng Mo was not stupid. He turned over and over several times. He probably woke Su Moer up.

"When you come back at night, I can see that you are worried about something?" Su Moer sat up, turned on the bedside lamp and asked.

Cheng Mo also sat up and took a piece of clothing to cover Su Moer. It was winter and it was easy to catch a cold.

"Shanghai District 1 has decided to assassinate Tan Shaoliang and asked me to provide relevant information." This is not a big secret and there is no need to conceal it.

"Shanghai District 1 knows your identity?"

"He should know something, but not all. Chen Gongshu probably doesn't know my specific identity, but I'm lurking in a key position in the International Settlement Police Station, so he might know that." Cheng Mo said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to provide information about Tan Shaoliang."

"Wouldn't it be beneficial to your position in the police station if you killed Tan Shaoliang?" Su Moer said. She also knew that her husband's political status in the police station was second only to Tan Shaoliang. Once Tan Shaoliang died, he could take the position directly.

"Not necessarily. I have too little experience in the police station. Once Tan Shaoliang dies, those people under Tan Shaoliang may not necessarily be used by me." Cheng Mo said, "Besides, Tan Shaoliang is working for the Japanese now. Once he dies, the Japanese will come directly to me."

Tan Shaoliang had helped the organization in the past, but not many people in the organization knew about it. But that is all history.

Wang also assassinated the former Qing Dynasty regent. Isn't he now a traitor and a traitor?

"Are you worried that the Japanese will ask you to do something you can't agree to?"

"My relationship with the Japanese is now maintained by Chiyoko. They haven't strongly asked me to do anything, but I can be sure that there will be demands in the near future." Cheng Mo explained, "Also, with Tan Shaoliang here, I don't need to deal with many political matters, but once Tan Shaoliang dies, I can't escape. Even if I am not pushed to that position now, I have to temporarily assume this responsibility."

"So, you don't actually want Tan Shaoliang to die?"

"No, I just don't want him to die now." Cheng Mo said. Traitors and traitors to the country should be punished by everyone. How could he not want someone like Tan Shaoliang to die? However, if he died now, it would be troublesome for him.

"Then can you explain it to the higher-ups?"

"No, I just declined the order to assassinate Ding Moqun. If I stop Shanghai District 1 from assassinating Tan Shaoliang, what will the bureau headquarters and Boss Dai think?" Cheng Mo shook his head.

"Maybe the situation is not that bad?" Su Moer leaned her head over.

Tan Shaoliang actively responded and cooperated with the Japanese to crack down on and suppress the anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese voices in the concession. This was one of the reasons why Shanghai District 1 wanted to get rid of him.

"Tan Shaoliang is not that easy to kill." Cheng Mo nodded, "If we can't delay it, let him go and I'll deal with his moves." "Well, sister said, should we give the child a name?"

"Ah?" Cheng Mo was surprised. Why did they suddenly jump to this topic? "We don't even know whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and you're already naming it?"

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, we have to name one first, otherwise it will be too late later." Su Moer said.

"I need to think about this carefully. There's no rush. We still have several months. It's not too late for you to think about it before you give birth." Cheng Mo said.

Su Moer smiled awkwardly. She was indeed a little anxious.

……

"Cheng Mo did interfere with Ma Sanyuan's case, but he did not stop me from reconciling with Ma Sanyuan. This is puzzling..."

After reconciling with Ma Sanyuan, the wanted warrant for She Aizhen was cancelled and she was able to enter and exit the concession freely, while Wu Sibao was detained.

There are many things that she can only investigate personally.

During this investigation, a lot of behind-the-scenes information emerged. At that time, she focused all her energy on rescuing Wu Sibao.

Now she has calmed down and is ready to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes. Finally, she discovered some information and came directly to Lin Shiqun to report.

"Does he have a grudge against you and your wife?"

"Well, Sibao and I had a grudge with him in the past, and we almost kidnapped his wife." She Aizhen nodded. This past event was no secret. Cheng Mo's revenge was cruel and swift. Zhang Guozhen died, Gu Renlin was shot, and Gu Laoqi was still serving his sentence in prison.

It can be said that they were defeated miserably by Cheng Mo in several attempts.

Now, they don't dare to provoke each other easily.

So what if Wu Sibao is the captain of the No. 76 guard battalion? He is also the inspector of the Concession Police Station. He has people and guns, and he is even richer and more influential.

They are older than him in the Qing Gang and have a higher status in the upper class society.

More importantly, the Japanese value each other extremely much.

"Have you ever thought about taking the initiative to settle this feud?" Lin Shiqun asked. He actually knew the secret. The Japanese had ideas about Cheng Mo and would have done it long ago if they could. The Japanese even attempted to assassinate him, but when they failed, they were severely warned and were not allowed to do it again.

It is probably related to the Japanese concession strategy.

"How did it end?" She Aizhen asked after a moment of silence.

"Let's not talk about this for now. How did the public opinion in the market suddenly arise? And those photos, someone must have leaked them to reporters in advance. Where did so many on-site photos come from? Someone must have arranged it long ago. Can we find out who it is?" Lin Shiqun waved his hand. It was useless to say anything since the time was not right.

She Aizhen shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I can't find out. The newspapers themselves don't know. These photos and articles were sent anonymously by others. There is no one behind the scenes who is instructing them. There is no clue left to trace."

"It seems that this is not something that ordinary forces can do." Lin Shiqun's brows were gloomy. "Where is the phone call for you?"

"A public telephone booth, unable to verify."

"I have reconciled with Ma Sanyuan, but now the only person who can provide clues is Ma Sanyuan." She Aizhen said.

There was a gleam in Lin Shiqun's eyes. He really had a new respect for She Aizhen. This initiative of reconciliation was completely intended to trick the other party into letting down her guard.

Then take action and arrest people!
This kind of ruthlessness is something that not everyone can do. At least Wu Sibao doesn't have such a smart brain. This is like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung!
