This person was none other than Du Zhen, the underground party member on the third floor of the International Hotel who got the 100 French francs that Jiang Yifan used to transmit information.

Jiang Yifan's heart suddenly began to tighten.

At this moment, the British Consulate's convoy also drove into the square and happened to stop not far from Du Zhen.

The car door opened, and the first person to get out was Mr. William.

"Oh no! Mr. William is in danger!" Jiang Yifan blurted out.

But before he finished speaking, Du Zhen, an underground party member, came to William's side in a quick step, strangled William's neck with his arm, put a gun to William's head, and ordered loudly:

"Don't move! Otherwise I will beat him to death."

Seeing this, Hatano Eiji, Tanaka Keiko, Jiang Yifan, Kunitake Sho, and Yuan Chengdu all rushed out of the waiting hall.

The British consulate staff who had just gotten off the car were all surprised and angry and yelled:

"What's happening here?"

"Consul Hatten, what are you doing?"

"Consul Boten, quickly find a way to ensure Mr. William's safety, otherwise, you will never get him!"

Since it was English, Hatano Eiji was listening to Yuan Cheng's translation.

Jiang Yifan translated it for Tanaka Keiko.

Wang Dongkui, who happened to be leading a dozen secret agents, ran up to them breathlessly. When he saw Hatano Eiji and Tanaka Keiko, and saw that the underground party had held a British man hostage, he knew that something was wrong, so he stood at attention and reported:

"Report to Consul Hatano and Section Chief Tanaka, he is an underground party member!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Hatō Eiji and Tanaka Keiko.

Keiko Tanaka also looked at Eiji Hatō.

Hatten Eiji frowned, looked at Yuan Cheng and said:

"Tell the people at the British consulate that we will ensure Mr. William's safety."

Yuan Cheng translated Hatano Eiji's words to the British.

Afterwards, Hatten Eiji ordered Yuan Cheng again: "Go and negotiate with that underground party. As long as Mr. William's safety can be guaranteed, you can agree to all his conditions. Hurry!"

"Yes!" Yuan Cheng replied, raised his hands and walked towards the underground party member Du Zhen.

As he walked, he said, "Calm down! Calm down! As long as you can guarantee William's safety, you can put forward any conditions."

Jiang Yifan stared at Yuan Cheng intently. He found that Yuan Cheng was not nervous at all and was even exchanging glances with the underground party members.

Yuan Cheng must know this underground party member!

Could it be that Yuan Cheng is also an underground party member? Isn't Yuan Cheng's identity too complicated?

"Give me a car right now. I want to leave here. No one is allowed to follow me. Otherwise, ..."

Yuan Cheng did not wait for the underground party member Du Zhen to finish his words before agreeing:

"Okay! Okay! Don't be angry. I'll prepare a car for you right away."

It would have been fine if Yuan Cheng hadn't said anything. As soon as Yuan Cheng told him not to be angry, underground party member Du Zhen immediately became agitated and put the gun against William's temple again, as if he was ready to shoot at any time.

William was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Jiang Yifan and shouted desperately, "Shimahashi! Help!"

Jiang Yifan was full of contempt in his heart. The richer a person is, the more afraid of death he is. He is such a grown-up, but he actually asks for help in public and is not afraid of being embarrassed.

Besides, you are the best amulet of this underground party. I will not save you until he is out of danger.

I know this underground party member, but he doesn't know me. What if he shoots me? I don't want to die!

But Jiang Yifan comforted him: "Mr. William, don't worry, I will ensure your safety."

"I can prepare a car for you right away, but you must ensure the safety of the hostages!" Yuan Cheng made the request again.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!" Du Zhen shouted urgently.

Yuan Cheng didn't say any more nonsense, and didn't even discuss it with Hatto Eiji. He turned around and walked to a British car, asked the driver for the keys, got into the car skillfully, made a sharp turn, and parked the car next to William and Du Zhen.

Then, Yuan Cheng got out of the car again, opened the back door, and motioned Du Zhen to get in.

Du Zhen pointed the gun at William and approached the car cautiously.

William shouted, "Shimahashi-kun! Come with me!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan was so angry. Wasn't he trying to drag himself down with him before he died?

"Go! Be sure to ensure Mr. William's safety." Keiko Tanaka ordered in Jiang Yifan's ear.

Damn! I guarantee Mr. William's safety, but who the hell guarantees my own safety?

But Jiang Yifan still agreed and said, "Ha Yi!"

After saying that, Jiang Yifan walked towards the car.

"Stop! You can go, but you are not allowed to bring a gun. Sit in the front." Du Zhen ordered loudly.

Jiang Yifan hesitated for a moment, but handed the gun to Tanaka Keiko and sat obediently in the front passenger seat.

I hope Yuan Cheng is really an underground party member and knows Du Zhen. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether Du Zhen will kill me when he reaches a safe place.

After all, my current identity is Japanese.

Du Zhen asked William to get into the car first, and then quickly got into the sedan, and then ordered: "Quick! Drive!"

Yuan Cheng obediently got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove into the road in front of the square and headed off into the distance.

Why didn't the underground party let Yuan Chengdong use his gun? Or was it because the situation was urgent and they were careless?

Impossible! Yuan Cheng must have some connection with the underground party.

Jiang Yifan stopped talking and observed Yuan Cheng's every move with the corner of his eyes.

But he discovered that Yuan Cheng was not observing William and Du Zhen behind him through the rearview mirror, but was also secretly observing him.

Nest! Would this guy wink at the underground party and get himself killed?

Even if I were killed by the underground party, as long as William was fine, would my death be important to the Japanese?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifan felt a chill down his spine.

Even though I did so many things for the underground party in secret, they didn't know about it. So if they wanted to kill me, there was no need to discuss it with them.

It's not as simple as stepping on an ant.

Also, Yuan Cheng didn't even ask where he was going. Did Yuan Cheng himself know where this underground party member was going?

Jiang Yifan wanted Du Zhen to put the gun away. In case the gun went off accidentally and William died, the British would not be able to hand over the prisoner to the Japanese.

But Jiang Yifan thought again and decided to let himself live a little longer. If the gun was taken away and William got hot-headed and started fighting with the underground party, he would be very close to death!

"Shimahashi-kun! There's a checkpoint ahead!"
