The Bravest

Mrs. Jin from Paramount saw Zhou Zhou off and then entered a secret room. Sitting on the sofa in the secret room was Liu Yang, deputy station chief of the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, who was already making tea and waiting for Mrs. Jin's arrival.

"You've heard it, right? I advise you not to touch Zhou Zhou, otherwise you won't have an easy time if Lin Jie goes crazy." Mrs. Jin sat down casually opposite Liu Yang and started talking about Zhou Zhou.

"Really? As long as Mrs. Jin doesn't betray me, what can Lin Jie do to me?" Liu Yang smiled indifferently and pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Mrs. Jin.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, don't brag. Last year, someone from the Special High Section took a fancy to Zhou Zhou and harassed him for three days. A week later, he was left hanging naked on the dock of the Huangpu River. There are rumors in the underworld that it was done by the Military Control Commission. I wonder if it's true?"

"It's just some despicable tricks. We can use them too." Liu Yang retorted bluntly.

"Really? If Lin Jie takes action against his opponents in the police station, just like he did against Huang Tianfu, I think there will be many casualties!"

"Haha, then he can't do it either. He won't do that." Liu Yang looked even more confident in Lin Jie, which made Mr. Jin very angry.

"Humph, Mr. Liu, this is not the attitude to discuss cooperation. Do you think I really can't hear what Lin Jie said just now? If he uses Director Liu as a target, what will you do?"

Mrs. Jin didn't want to argue with Liu Yang anymore. Originally, everyone left room for some things and didn't say them so clearly.

But Liu Yang was aggressive. If he really did something to Zhou Zhou, Paramount would be implicated, and she didn't want to take the blame for Liu Yang.

"What else does Miss Jin know? Why not tell me?" Facing Miss Jin's threat, Liu Yang remained calm and composed, and even his hands did not shake as he was making tea.

"Are you testing me?" Jin Daban's heart skipped a beat, realizing that she had been fooled because of her impatience.

Liu Yang's hostility towards Lin Jie was definitely deliberately pretended. What he wanted was to incite Lin Jie to defect, not to deal with Lin Jie.

"Hahaha, Miss Jin is being sensitive. We're just chatting casually. It can't be considered a test. Come and have some tea."

"Haha, Mr. Liu is indeed a man who can deceive Liangang Village. He is amazing! But you heard that Lin Jie saw through him later. Is that true?"

Mrs. Jin couldn't do anything about Liu Yang and could only make a few sarcastic remarks to save a little face for herself.

"That's true, so Lin Jie and I can be considered old friends, right? Let's get back to the point. Regarding the matter of persuading Lin Jie to defect, what does Mrs. Jin think we should do next?"

"My personal opinion is to put it on hold for now and wait until the situation becomes clearer. As long as Zhou Zhou is still here with me, Lin Jie will have no scruples, but you must not have any ideas about attacking Zhou Zhou. This girl has a very fierce temper, and if something goes wrong, it will be a disaster for everyone."

"No way, she's just a little girl."

"Haha, she may be a little immature when it comes to scheming. As for your agents' methods, she may not be worse than your elites. She was taught by Lin Jie. At least you can't catch her alive. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see. If she wants to die, I can't stop her. That's what I mean!"

"hehe…"

"How should we respond to Lin Jie in three days? If we don't say anything, it will easily lead to misunderstandings. Does Mrs. Jin have any suggestions?"

Seeing that Mrs. Jin was trying hard to protect a little girl like Zhou Zhou, Liu Yang stopped talking and turned the topic back to Lin Jie.

"It's very simple. We can talk about business without discussing cooperation! If Lin Jie doesn't want to drag Zhou Zhou into it, then we at Paramount can be the middleman."

"Hahaha...Boss Jin has a very good plan. If I want to do business, why shouldn't I do Miss Zhou Zhou a favor?" Liu Yang looked at Boss Jin and shook his head with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, don't forget that Lin Jie doesn't want Zhou Zhou to ask for your favor."

"Really? That's fine. We are very open-minded and our prices are fair. As long as you have the goods, I will take them all. As for the source of the goods, I will not ask. Are you satisfied, Ms. Jin?"

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Liu on behalf of the big boss."

Mrs. Jin was very satisfied with the result. Although she might not be able to help in persuading Lin Jie to defect, she had her sister Zhou Zhou by her side, so she still had some favors.

"Okay, that's enough about Lin Jie. Let's talk about our next target."

……

Lin Jie's troubles were not because the Military Control Commission had tried to instigate him. Because of the confidentiality of Lin Jie's identity, without knowing it, Lin Jie's position as deputy director of the Inspection Team would definitely attract the attention of the Military Control Commission's instigators.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Lin Jie will become a target of rebellion, and Lin Jie himself has countermeasures.

What really troubled Lin Jie was that Liu Yang had actually found out about his relationship with Zhou Zhou, and had gained Zhou Zhou's trust, and was then using Zhou Zhou to carry out his subversion work.

Lin Jie was unwilling to accept Zhou Zhou because she was the first girl he met since he came into this world who had no intention towards him.

Zhou Zhou can be said to be his white moonlight in this world. Lin Jie didn't want her to step into these chaotic quagmires, so in addition to secretly arranging confidants to protect her, Lin Jie also concealed his relationship with her strictly.

Even his wife at home didn't know about these things. Unexpectedly, Liu Yang found out the truth and offered Zhou Zhou conditions that he couldn't refuse.

The condition was simple, that is, the Military Control Commission could help Lin Jie get rid of the charge of being a traitor. This was undoubtedly a pie in the sky for Zhou Zhou, who deeply loved Lin Jie.

For this, Zhou Zhou broke his agreement with Lin Jie and took the initiative to contact Lin Jie who appeared in Paramount, thus allowing Liu Ruyan to peek into the secret between them, which also made Lin Jie somewhat passive for a while.

That night, Lin Jie went home and discussed it with Ye Wulian, and the next day he reported the situation to Lao Zhou. Of course, Lin Jie still chose to continue to conceal the relationship between Zhou Zhou and him.

After Lao Zhou learned the details of the situation, he had no good solution and had to report it to his superiors again, while also not forgetting to comfort Lin Jie.

"Well, I understand the situation, but you have to handle this matter yourself. It is impossible for the higher-ups to inform each other of the personnel information of the two different lines. You can only try to avoid conflicts. Of course, I will also report to Boss Dai to see if he has any other arrangements.

The main task of the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station is to incite officials of the Wang Puppet Government to defect, especially military and police personnel. The top leaders have already made preparations to take over Shanghai. Xiaojie's victory is just around the corner, you must protect yourself. "

Old Zhou patted Lin Jie on the shoulder. The world anti-fascist war had seen the light of day, and the Japanese were gradually declining. Old Zhou could hardly suppress his excitement.

……

Three days later, Lin Jie went to the Paramount Ballroom alone. After Liu Ruyan learned about Zhou Zhou's situation, she was no longer so hostile to him.

However, for Lin Jie's safety, Liu Ruyan changed into men's clothes and took a team of hers, plainclothes officers, to disperse into the Paramount to ensure Lin Jie's safety.
