Chapter 65 Opportunity
When Yuan Ye heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He had just listened to Qian Hao's narration and felt that there was nothing wrong with the performance. Qian Hao believed it without a doubt. He didn't expect that Su Xiwu still had doubts. This Su Xiwu was really a cunning guy.
Is something bad going to happen?
Yuan Ye frowned and continued listening.
At this time Qian Hao said:
"Mayor, I had the same feeling at first. How come such a suitable candidate came to me just when I had drawn up the plan? It's impossible not to be suspicious.
But then I thought, only the mayor and I knew about this plan, and I would never tell anyone else. How could Wang Jian know about it? Wang Jian acted very naturally throughout the whole thing last night, and he only agreed after I kept testing him.
This kind of person is hard to find, and it would be a pity to give up on him, as it would be very difficult to find him again."
I think God can't stand this old man Fu Quan'an, so he is giving you a helping hand. It seems that our plan will definitely succeed, and you will return to the position of mayor in no time."
After hearing this, Su Xiwu did not say anything and fell into deep thought. He felt that what Qian Hao said made sense, especially the last sentence which touched his heart. It seemed that he might have been too suspicious.
He nodded and said:
“You have a point.
As the old saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. If you don't act when the time comes, you will suffer the consequences.
You should implement this plan as soon as possible. Once you find a good opportunity, take action immediately. Success or failure depends on this.
I will prepare the money, and your family will be sent to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand. I will implement it as soon as possible."
Qian Hao said respectfully.
When Yuan Ye heard this, his heart finally settled down. He thought, Wang Jianwu had successfully entered the security brigade, which was half the battle. Now it depended on how Wang Jianwu would find an opportunity to strike.
After Qian Hao came out of the secretary-general's office, he went straight to find the captain of the guard battalion, Li Chengzong. Li Chengzong didn't say anything and agreed to the person introduced by Qian Hao. The guard battalion was originally short of people, and Wang Jianwu had been a soldier and met the requirements. What's more, he was recommended by an acquaintance, so there was nothing to worry about.
Li Chengzong thought that the security brigade would be on a mission the next two days, so he asked Qian Hao to have Wang Jianwu report to the brigade in the afternoon. However, since he was a newcomer, he would first stand guard at the city hall gate. However, Li Chengzong was still cautious, after all, Qian Hao was the secretary-general's man, so he did not let Wang Jianwu participate in the internal security work.
Qian Hao didn't mind. Everything would be easy as long as Wang Jianwu came in.
Seeing that things were going smoothly, Qian Hao was very happy. When he returned to his office, Wang Kun saw Qian Hao's happy expression, which was completely different from yesterday. He came over and said with a smile:
"Captain, this is a good thing."
"What's the good news? It's probably because I drank so much wine last night that I feel so good. I feel so cheerful all of a sudden."
Qian Hao thought, there is indeed good news, but I can’t tell you.
"Then next time the captain is depressed, I will treat him to a drink."
Wang Kun said flatteringly.
……
Qian Hao went out at noon and bought a ticket to Hong Kong Island from the shipping company. Then he went back home and asked his wife to pack their luggage and prepare to take the ship to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. After making the arrangements, he took Wang Jianwu to report to the guard brigade.
After Wang Jianwu reported, he was immediately assigned to the guard squad at the city hall gate. The guard squad had ten people, working in two shifts, standing guard at the gate 24 hours a day. Their duty was to check and register outsiders entering the city hall. The work was simple. As soon as Wang Jianwu arrived, he was arranged to stand guard at the gate, and the person he replaced was transferred to the first squadron responsible for internal security.
Seeing that Wang Jianwu had been arranged to take up the post, Qian Hao went to the Secretary-General's Office to report to Su Xiwu. Su Xiwu was very happy to see that the plan was going smoothly. He praised Qian Hao a few words and reminded Qian Hao that Wang Jianwu should not act rashly and should only take action when the right opportunity is available.
Of course, all this did not escape Yuan Ye's ears. Upon learning that Wang Jianwu had successfully taken up the post, Yuan Ye was relieved. Now everything was ready, except for an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so soon.
Just because Yuan Ye overheard a phone call in Fu Quan'an's office, Yuan Ye was inspired and realized that this would be a good opportunity.
At four o'clock, the phone in Fu Quan'an's office rang. Fu Quan'an usually received quite a few calls, most of which were of little value, but this call caught Yuan Ye's attention.
The call was from General Keiji Isogai, commander of the Japanese Central China Front Army.
When Fu Quan'an heard that it was Commander Isogai who called, he immediately said flatteringly:
"General Isoya, what do you want me to do?"
Ever since Matsumoto Iwane was transferred away, Fu Quan'an lost his backing and had been wanting to establish a relationship with Isogai Keiji, but Isogai Keiji had just arrived and he needed time to build up a good relationship, especially since Su Xiwu's backer Iwai Yuichi was about to be promoted to Consul General, which made him feel a deep sense of urgency.
"Mayor Fu, Colonel Sasaki has met with misfortune, and you cannot be without an advisor from the Empire of Japan, so I have arranged for Colonel Yamada Hiroshi to serve as an advisor to the city government. He will take up his post in four days. I hope you will cooperate with Colonel Yamada's work."
"General Isotani, please rest assured that I will cooperate with Advisor Yamada."
Fu Quanan said respectfully.
I only heard Isogai Keiji continue:
"Mayor Fu, you are responsible for Sasaki's death. I hope this won't happen again in the future."
Fu Quan'an could tell there was dissatisfaction in Isogai Keiji's tone and his heart tightened. He actually knew that the news of Sasaki going to the hospital must have been leaked by someone in the city government. He also asked the head of the security department, Yu Dehai, to investigate, but there was no way to start because there were too many people in the city government who knew that Sasaki went to the hospital every day.
Sasaki can only blame himself for being unlucky. If he hadn't gone to the hospital to see his wife every day, nothing would have happened to him. Now the Japanese are blaming him, which is a bit unfair, but what can he do?
He knew it was not a good idea to defend himself, as this would only make Isogai Keiji even angrier, so he quickly said:
"General Isotani, I am deeply saddened by Mr. Sasaki's death. I am responsible for not doing a good job of our security. I promise that such a thing will not happen again in the future."
When Yuan Ye heard this, he sneered in his heart. You can't even guarantee how long you can live, so how can you guarantee that the Japanese won't be killed? I'm afraid you're thinking too much.
"Okay, Mayor Fu, I hope you won't let me down."
Isogai Keiji's tone softened a little, and then he hung up the phone.
Fu Quan'an breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought that after Advisor Yamada came, security must be strengthened and nothing could happen again. If something happened, he would not be able to complete his job and his position as mayor would probably be over.
