Chapter 556: Suspension of the Execution After Yuan Ye finished the call, he drove to Huang Yi Guang’s residence, which was located in the International Settlement. After Yuan Ye arrived, he parked the car near the gate. When he walked to the door, two armed soldiers stopped him. Yuan Ye stated his identity and asked the soldiers to report to Huang Yi Guang.

The soldier walked into the guard room, made a phone call, and came out and said to Yuan Ye respectfully:

"Mr. Yuan, the commander asked you to wait a moment. He will come out to greet you in person."

Yuan Ye nodded and followed the soldiers through the side door into the courtyard. The courtyard was very large, with rows of bungalows located in it and a large playground in the middle. Many soldiers were training, wearing German helmets and well-equipped. They were obviously not comparable to the ragtag army.

Yuan Ye also understood, because he heard from Li Qunshi that the Tax Police Corps was Wang Jingwei's direct force, so he would naturally spare no expense and make great efforts to train this force.

He appointed Huang Yiguang as the commander of the Second Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, which also shows his high regard for Huang Yiguang.

Huang Yi Guang holds an important position and will surely achieve greater things and make greater contributions to the country in the future. Fortunately, I saved him.

Yuan Ye waited for a while, and then he saw Huang Yiguang and two other people coming over from afar. They soon came close to him. Huang Yiguang stretched out his big hand and shook hands with Yuan Ye, saying enthusiastically:

"Brother Shi Kai, you are a distinguished guest. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person!"

Yuan Ye also smiled and said:

"After we parted ways on No. 76, I heard that Brother Yi Guang was promoted to the head of the Second Regiment of the Tax Police Corps. I came here specially to congratulate you today. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Huang Yiguang laughed and said:

"No, no, I've been away for a few days and I miss you so much. I just wanted you to come today. Why would I bother you? This is not the place to talk. Please come to my office and have a chat."

So the two of them walked side by side towards the regiment headquarters building and soon arrived at Huang Yiguang's office.

After the attendant served tea, he closed the door and left the office. Huang Yiguang took Yuan Ye into the study, closed the door, and the two sat side by side on the sofa. Huang Yiguang said excitedly:

"You are finally here. Actually, even if you didn't come, I would have gone to find you.

First, I want to express my gratitude to you in person. You saved me twice. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

But on the 76th, it was not convenient for me to express my gratitude. Today, my wish has finally come true.

I know I need no thanks for your kindness, so just wait and see how I perform in the future!

Second, I also want to contact the organization, listen to its instructions, and arrange my future work. "

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"You are a member of the organization and my comrade. How can I watch you die? This is what I should do.

To be honest, I admire your courage. You are worthy of being like Jing Ke in ancient times.

You don't have to thank me, any anti-Japanese patriot would do the same.

Your continued enthusiasm for serving the country will be my greatest gratitude."

"I won't let you down, just wait and see how I perform!"

Huang Yi Guang was quite moved, of course he was moved by Yuan Ye's broad-mindedness. He thought that Yuan Ye was his true comrade and he admired him deeply.

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

"I came to you this time to convey the instructions from the headquarters. I telegraphed your situation to the headquarters and explained to them why the assassination attempt on Wang Ni was unsuccessful.

Wang Ni is suspicious by nature, and now he is like a frightened bird. It is not easy for him to find an opportunity. We can only take the long view.

Although the assassination was not successful this time, it was not without gain. He was reused and may play a greater role in the future.

Headquarters listened to my advice and agreed to let you lie low and wait for the right opportunity.

And let me be your upline and contact me directly. My code name is "Lone Sail" and your code name is "Anchor". These are the codes given to us by the headquarters.

I heard that the Tax Police Corps is directly controlled by Wang's confidant Zhou Fuhai, who also serves as the head of the Tax Police Corps. You must first establish a good relationship with him and strive to gain his trust before you can carry out future work.

Secondly, you must take control of the Second Tax Police Regiment in your own hands and arrange people you trust to take up key positions. Of course, this takes time. Only when you have a firm grasp of this team can you play a greater role.

Before that, you must keep a low profile and not act rashly."

Huang Yiguang nodded solemnly and said:

"I understand. I will follow your orders."

The two chatted for a while, and Huang Yi Guang introduced the current situation of the Second Regiment. Now the Second Regiment is not yet fully staffed, with only a few hundred people, mainly students from the Tax Police School, and they are expanding their manpower. He suggested that the headquarters send some reliable people to enrich their team.

Yuan Ye thought about it and felt that this was a good suggestion. He planned to transfer Zhang Yong over and let him be the battalion commander. Zhang Yong was a relatively reliable person and had martial arts skills, so he could win the support of the people.

In addition, we should ask the headquarters to transfer some people from the Loyal and Patriotic Army to strengthen Zhang Yong's battalion, so that at least Zhang Yong's battalion can be completely under the control of our own people.

He told Huang Yi Guang about his idea, and Huang Yi Guang readily agreed. This way he could master the team faster, which also gave him more confidence.

Seeing that everything had been explained almost completely, Yuan Ye stood up and said goodbye. He did not let Huang Yi Guang see him off, and left the regiment headquarters alone. After getting in the car, he drove to No. 76. He wanted to see how Zheng Chao was carrying out his mission.

He had a hunch that Zheng Chao's action might not be so smooth. After all, he had to execute so many traitors at once, and these traitors were more or less well-known figures, so there might be some twists and turns.

Sure enough, Yuan Ye arrived at No. 76. Zheng Chao was anxiously waiting for him in Li Qunshi's office. Li Qunshi was also there.

Seeing Yuan Ye coming, Zheng Chao hurriedly reported the situation. It turned out that after he shot Yu Dehai and several others, when he was about to shoot another 10 people, Wang Jingwei called the office and asked them to suspend the execution.

Li Qunshi answered the phone. He knew that it must be the family members of these people who found the people around Wang Jingwei and told Wang Jingwei.

He hurried to inform Zheng Chao and asked him not to shoot the 10 people for the time being.

In fact, he felt that these people might be wrongly accused. Based on his experience, it was very likely that these people were tortured into confessing entirely because of political struggles.

When he heard that these people were going to be shot, he was also shocked. Although he was a ruthless person, he felt that it was too cruel.

However, he also understood that political struggle is a life-and-death struggle and that one cannot be too soft-hearted, otherwise he will be killed by the other side one day.

When he arrived at the execution ground, the ten prisoners were already tied up and standing in a row against the wall. Some of them had been so scared that they had wet their pants.

The execution squad was ready and were waiting for Zheng Chao to give the order to shoot. As soon as Zheng Chao raised his hand, Li Qunshi rushed up to him and told him that Mr. Wang called to suspend the execution.

Zheng Chao didn't know what to do for a moment, so he had to stop the execution and wait for Yuan Ye to come.
