After Chai Ruhai finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Ye expectantly. It was obvious that he had placed all his hopes on Yuan Ye.

Not only did Yuan Ye point out the future direction for him, but also when an assassination occurred at the gate of the city government and bullets rained down, Yuan Ye threw him to the ground and saved his life.

He believed that Yuan Ye could help him this time, and that this old classmate was the lucky star sent to him by God.

Yuan Ye knew that Chai Ruhai's worries were not unnecessary. The issue of taking back the judicial power of the concession and the police power over cross-border road construction was obviously more serious than the issue of changing the flag of the concession.

When the people in Shancheng find out, they will be furious and will do anything, including assassinating Chai Ruhai.

He knew that Chai Ruhai did not want to do such a thing. After his repeated persuasion, Chai Ruhai had already begun to distance himself from the unrepentant traitor Fu Quan'an.

He felt that Chai Ruhai was not a bad person by nature, and with his own efforts, he might be able to serve Shancheng and contribute to the anti-Japanese cause. Of course, this had to be done step by step and not in a hasty manner.

If he could develop him successfully, even if he was no longer in the city government in the future, Chai Ruhai could still become his eyes and ears and provide him with important information.

So he couldn't let Chai Ruhai die like this, he had to find a way to save him. He thought he should ask the fisherman not to attack Chai Ruhai. Of course, the reason was that killing Chai Ruhai would affect his own concealment.

He believed that the fisherman would support him, but he could not guarantee that the mountain city would listen to the fisherman's feedback. What if they didn't?

All of these are possible, so I have to be prepared for both situations. In addition to asking the fisherman for help, I also have to find other ways to ensure Chai Ruhai's safety as much as possible.

Yuan Ye thought that if Zhu Xiang could be persuaded to kill Fu Quan'an as soon as possible, there would not be so much trouble.

But now everything is still unknown, and I don’t know what Zhu Xiang thinks, so we still need to wait.

Before Fu Quan'an died, Chai Ruhai might be in trouble, so I have to be careful during this period of time.

Under Chai Ruhai's expectant gaze, Yuan Ye said:

"If the Military Control Commission cannot kill Fu Quan'an, they are very likely to attack you, so you must not take it lightly.

We have such a good relationship, I can't just stand by and watch him die, I've already figured out a way."

When the nervous Chai Ruhai heard that Yuan Ye had a solution, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and asked impatiently:

"Shi Kai, tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

Yuan Ye looked at Chai Ruhai and said slowly and deliberately:

"Look at your anxious look, listen to me slowly."

"How can I not be anxious? This is a matter of life and death."

Chai Ruhai looked impatient. He knew that Yuan Ye was so calm, so this method must be able to save him.

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

“I think that in order to take back the judicial and police powers, starting from preparing the circular letter to notifying the concession authorities, and finally negotiating, you should not rush the whole process, but do it slowly, and try to delay it until Fu Quan’an returns to work at the municipal government.

He has been resting for a few days. It is impossible for him to stay at home all the time. He should be back soon. When he comes back, you can say that you are powerless and your words will not be of much use. Let him negotiate with the concession authorities.

How could a mayor not attend such a big event? Even Foreign Minister Chen Lu came to discuss the issue of changing the flag of the concession, not to mention that this matter was more important than changing the flag.

This is your excuse, and it is a very legitimate excuse. I believe Fu Quan'an will not have any doubts after hearing it.

As long as he went to the concession to negotiate with the concession authorities, the Military Control Commission would find out and would look for opportunities to attack him. Wasn't Chen Lu killed when he went to the French consulate to negotiate?

From the murder of Chen Lu, we can see that the ability of the Military Control Commission agents is too terrifying. Perhaps Fu Quan'an will end up like Chen Lu.

Do you think that if the Military Control Commission had the chance to assassinate him, would they still think of attacking you?"

Yuan Ye came up with this idea because he considered that if Zhu Xiang could not be persuaded and could not kill Fu Quanan at his home, he could take advantage of the opportunity of Fu Quanan going to negotiate with the concession authorities and kill him like he killed Chen Lu.

Yuan Ye believed that even if Fu Quan'an had tight security, there would definitely be an opportunity to kill him in the concession.

This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. It saves Chai Ruhai and kills Fu Quan'an at the same time. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

When Chai Ruhai heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly:

“That’s a good idea, why didn’t I think of it?

I'll listen to you and wait until I can come to work at Fu Quan'an."

Yuan Ye reminded again:

"You can't be careless. You have to delay it. Before Fu Quan'an returns to the city government to work, you should stay in the office and don't go anywhere.

Regarding the delivery of the circular, let me take them on your behalf. If you want to go out, you must let me accompany you, and you must also bring the guards with you."

Chai Ruhai nodded and said:

"You are so thoughtful. I obey you in everything. You saved me once, and you saved me again this time.

Shi Kai, to be honest, I don't know how to thank you. If you are in trouble in the future, tell me. As long as I can help, I will do my best to help you. "

Chai Ruhai's words were sincere and came completely from his heart, and his expression was quite moving.

Yuan Ye saw it and knew that this was Chai Ruhei's true feelings. He felt that his work for him was not in vain. He became more determined to let Chai Ruhei contribute to the anti-Japanese war in the future.

Yuan Ye also said sincerely:

"Ruhai, don't be so polite, this is what I should do.

People need help from others when they are in trouble, let alone our relationship.

Even if you don't say it, I believe that you will help me when I need help."

Chai Ruhai nodded. In his heart, he and Yuan Ye no longer had a superior-subordinate relationship. He now viewed Yuan Ye more as an elder brother whom he could trust and rely on. In fact, they were about the same age, with Yuan Ye being a few months younger than him.

He has now completely put his mind at ease and is in a better mood. When Yuan Ye left the office, he also walked out of the office with a smile on his face because he remembered that he still had work to arrange.

The people in the big office saw Chai Ruhai walking out of the office in a very good mood, which was completely different from the gloomy face when he first walked into the office. They were all very confused and thought:

"This Yuan Shikai entered the section chief's office. After a while, I don't know what he said, but the section chief suddenly became a different person."

While everyone was curious, Chai Ruhai said:

"According to the mayor's instructions, we need to negotiate with the Concession authorities to take back the judicial power of the Concession and the police power in the area where the road is built beyond the boundary. Please write a circular to the Concession authorities. This circular is very important. You must think it over and over again, write it with reason and evidence, and write it until I am satisfied."
