The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 488 Let me solve it
"Mrs. Wu, you must be hungry. Someone, bring her a bowl of wontons. Also, I'm hungry too. Give me one too..."

"Yes, Mr. Cheng."

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liao wants you to come over." The door opened, and a man came in and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

……

Jing'an Temple Police Station, Chief Patrol Office.

"Mr. Liao." Cheng Mo knew Mr. Liao, and could be said to be very familiar with him. This was the reason why he had a close relationship with the British.

Otherwise, how could he, the acting leader of the Chinese group, have such a high status and be able to have a good life in the Jing'an Temple Police Station?

"Mr. Cheng, I heard they call you that now." When Mr. Liao saw Cheng Mo, he first gave him a big hug. Cheng Mo came to help him solve the problem, so of course he was happy.

"I had an appointment with Mrs. Lisa for dinner today, but this happened and my date is ruined!"

"It's okay, let's make an appointment tomorrow. I believe Mrs. Lisa will understand you." Cheng Mo smiled.

"Now that you're here, I feel relieved."
"Although I'm here, I don't know what the bottom line is for this matter." Cheng Mo took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Old Ba just called and said that we shouldn't make a big deal out of this. Since someone on the other side has died, we should just pay some money and make appropriate concessions." Mr. Liao reached out to take the cigarette.

"How to determine the responsibility for the conflict? This is just the beginning. Will it be the same if we encounter something like this again in the future?" Cheng Mo said, "Even if we have to pay compensation, we have to set a standard."

"The problem now is to send that woman away quickly."

"It's easy to send him away, but this matter won't end like this, otherwise No. 76's provocations will continue to come."

"What do you mean?"

"It's okay to send the person away, but we have to express our gratitude to She Aizhen first, or at least let her take part of the responsibility. Only in this way can we take the initiative in the negotiations." Cheng Mo said.

Mr. Liao nodded, pointed to the phone on the table and said, "Call Philip's office."

"I?"

"Yes, the Municipal Council's board of directors has unanimously decided that you will be responsible for handling this conflict." Mr. Liao explained with a chuckle.

"Will the Japanese agree?"

"The minority obeys the majority, and they are in the minority on the Municipal Council board."

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, but still reached out, grabbed the phone, and dialed the office of Philip, the general office of the Municipal Council.

"Mr. General Manager Philip, I'm Cheng Mo from the Political Department..."

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Mr. General Manager, I will handle this matter properly and ensure that the trouble will not escalate."

"Cheng Mo, if you can handle this matter properly, I will remove you from the position of acting leader of the Chinese group in the Political Department!" Philip also made a promise to Cheng Mo on the phone, allowing him to officially serve as the leader of the Chinese group.

You have to know that this position can only be held by the Chief Inspector. Cheng Mo is only a detective now. Once the Chief Inspector is promoted, it will basically be the highest level for Chinese in the police station.

Previously, Tan Shaoliang and Lu Liankui were both inspectors general.

General Manager Philip also knew that if his subordinates were not motivated, it would not work. Whether it was money or promotion, they had to give them something.

"Leave it to you, Mr. Cheng. My people will obey your orders from now on." Mr. Liao smiled and patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder. He didn't care about promotion. After finishing this term, he would return to China.

"Thank you Mr. Liao for your trust!"

Mr. Liao smiled and personally escorted Cheng Mo out of his office. He then issued an order, asking the Jing'an Temple Police Station to fully cooperate with Cheng Mo and follow his orders.

This confirms Cheng Mo's position as having full authority to handle this conflict.

In fact, when Cheng Mo arrived at the Jing'an Temple Police Station, someone inside had already passed the news. When Wu Sibao got the news, his face changed instantly.

Everyone in No. 76 knew about his grudge with Cheng Mo. He had offended Cheng Mo back then, before he joined Lin Shiqun.

Moreover, once he offended someone, he did not hold back and offended the person to death. This was in line with his usual style, but he did not expect to hit a wall.

Disciples and brothers, one after another, were either killed or imprisoned.

He had been wanting to take revenge for this, but the other party was not a pushover. Some of them had guns and were very rich. Even if he joined No. 76 and became the captain of the guard, he might not be their opponent if he really went head-to-head with them.

Moreover, Lin Shiqun also warned him many times that unless Cheng Mo deliberately caused trouble, he was not allowed to take the initiative to cause trouble for Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo has a very deep background, including British, Japanese, and he may even have connections with Chongqing. Such a person can still call the shots in the concession. Is it possible that after the Japanese assassinated him, there was no follow-up action?
Are the Japanese the type to give up easily?

Obviously, this was banned by the top leaders, which shows that this person also has very deep connections with the Japanese.

He also asked his patron, Lieutenant Colonel Haruki Keitsugu, but did not get a definite response. However, the fact that there was no response spoke volumes.

Therefore, Lin Shiqun tried again and again to find opportunities to act as a peacemaker and resolve the feud between Wu Sibao and Cheng Mo.

Lin Shiqun had mentioned this to Wu Sibao before, but every time, he remained silent, obviously unhappy.

But he didn't dare to express his opposition clearly, as that would directly offend Lin Shiqun.

Now Cheng Mo actually came to Jing'an Temple Police Station, and his wife was detained in Jing'an Temple Police Station. After seeing this connection, he immediately panicked.

Cheng Mo took this opportunity to take revenge.

Lin Zhijiang on the side also noticed that the reason Wu Sibao's face changed drastically was because Cheng Mo had arrived at the Jing'an Temple Police Station.

He was very clear about the grudge between the two, no matter whether he was in the Military Control Commission's Shanghai area before or later defected and joined No. 76.

Wu Sibao's several clashes with Cheng Mo all ended in miserable defeat. This man even escaped the Japanese assassination. How could he be so easy to deal with?

"Brother Wu, Cheng Mo is not someone you want to mess with. If the Municipal Council lets him handle this matter, we have to be careful. If things get out of hand, you and I won't be able to clean it up." Lin Zhijiang reminded Wu Sibao.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Wu Sibao said, suppressing his anger, "My wife is locked up in the police station now?"

"We have a spy who has reported that my sister-in-law is safe and sound, she is just being detained temporarily. As long as she is fine, everything will be fine." Lin Zhijiang said, "Deputy Director Lin is urgently looking for the Japanese to negotiate with the Municipal Council. They dare not do anything to my sister-in-law."

After listening to Lin Zhijiang's analysis, Wu Sibao's nervousness eased a little.

"I'm going to see Director Lin."

Lin Zhijiang also breathed a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that Wu Sibao would lose his temper and really lead people to attack the Jing'an Temple Police Station. That would lead to a bigger conflict and the problem would be serious.
