Chapter 193: To do something big, the traitors want to increase the stakes

Jia Xiaolin was sitting in his office, racking his brains to find a way to clear the stain brought to him by this letter of appointment, when suddenly an opportunity came.

Secretary Tan Lei came to Jia Xiaolin with a bandage on her arm, handed him a newspaper, and said:

"General Manager! There's a little commotion in the International Settlement again!"

When Jia Xiaolin took the newspaper and read it, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He immediately took a car to Hongguang Hospital.

"President! Now the International Settlement has the audacity to make a big fuss, holding demonstrations in the International Settlement, demanding that the Japanese get out of the International Settlement and return all the losses suffered by Johnson. We can't just turn a deaf ear to it and remain indifferent, can we?"

Jia Xiaolin looked at Ge Chunhai, the president of the Huajie Chamber of Commerce, and asked.

"What are you going to do?" Ge Chunhai asked Jia Xiaolin while lying on the hospital bed.

"I think we must hold a meeting to unify our thoughts and hold a massive demonstration tomorrow. We must firmly oppose the unreasonable demands of the British in the International Settlement. We must firmly support the Japanese's right to manage the International Settlement, and we must make a bigger fuss than they do!"

Jia Xiaolin shamelessly spoke out his true feelings.

Upon hearing this, Ge Chunhai couldn't help but cough violently.

He knew that Jia Xiaolin was about to openly betray his country and surrender to the enemy.

But he is now seriously ill and has the will but not the strength to do it. What's more, if he tries to stop it by force, he will inevitably be killed.

He knew Jia Xiaolin was ruthless, so he said:

"I'm already busy with my own business. As the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, you can do whatever you want. As long as everyone agrees, I won't stop you!"

After saying this, he started coughing violently again.

Hearing this, Jia Xiaolin immediately smiled and replied:

"President! I feel relieved with your words."

After saying that, Jia Xiaolin drove away.

On the podium in the conference room of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce building, Jia Xiaolin spoke in a very proud and arrogant manner, denouncing the shamelessness of the British businessmen in the International Settlement and openly and shamelessly crying out for justice for the Japanese. The Chinese businessmen in the audience were all stunned when they heard this.

"Excuse me, Vice President Jia! You've been talking for a long time, but what exactly do you mean? Why don't I understand?"

"That's right! The Japanese and the British are having a conflict, why should we get involved?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xiaolin patiently replied:

"You are so pedantic. China is doomed now. If we don't show our ability in front of the Japanese now, what chance will we have after the Japanese rule China? Therefore, our Chamber of Commerce must seize the opportunity and be the first to do so."

Upon hearing this, the participants suddenly realized that this was an open act of treason and surrendering to the enemy!

"It's such a big matter, I'm afraid it's hard to make the decision without the president here!"

Yue Zhenming, a businessman sitting in the audience, spoke up to remind them.

"I knew you wouldn't agree, because I know you're just a pro-Shancheng businessman, but will it work? Shancheng is already struggling to protect itself, how can he care about our lives?"

Jia Xiaolin looked at Yue Zhenming and spoke sincerely.

At this point, Jia Xiaolin suddenly changed the subject and continued:

"I just came back from the president's meeting. I was entrusted by the president to hold this meeting. We decided to hold a massive demonstration starting tomorrow. Every merchant must participate."

"Vice President Jia, I don't agree, because we have business dealings with British businessmen. This will damage our economic interests. I don't agree!" Yue Zhenming was the first to raise his hand in objection.

"I am against it too! This is neither justified nor legitimate. Where is the morality?" Another businessman, Yu Hua, also expressed his opposition.

"Yu Hua, very good! I know that you have been having an unclear relationship with the underground party for a long time. Then today I will start with you two." After he finished speaking, Jia Xiaolin suddenly pulled out a pistol and fired several shots at the two of them.

Both of them fell to the ground and died in shock.

There was a sudden chaos in the conference room!

"Don't move! Otherwise, this will be the fate of these two!"

Jia Xiaolin held a smoking pistol, looked at all the participants, and gave orders viciously.

Since Jia Xiaolin was the leader of the Green Gang and was ruthless, no one would dare to object and everyone was angry but not speak out.

"Listen carefully, everyone. Tomorrow morning, every merchant must send out ten people, holding their own banners, hanging banners, raising colorful flags, and shouting slogans, and gather in front of the Chamber of Commerce building! Do you hear me?"

Jia Xiaolin looked at the audience and gave the order in an arrogant tone.

"I heard!"

The audience answered in unison.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Jia Xiaolin gave an order and turned and left.

Everyone could only swallow their anger and carry the bodies of Yue Zhenming and Yu Hua out of the Chamber of Commerce building.

The shooting of Yue Zhenming and Yu Hua by Jia Xiaolin once again caused a sensation in the whole of Shanghai.

The Japanese were quite satisfied with Jia Xiaolin's approach, especially Li Qun. This was giving him face.

At the Shancheng headquarters, Boss Dai's face immediately turned gloomy.

Since the letter of authorization failed to frame Jia Xiaolin, it instead prompted him to become even more extreme and do something desperate.

He once again sent a secret message to the Lighter Team and Yuan Cheng, asking them to get rid of Jia Xiaolin as soon as possible.

The underground party was also heartbroken when they learned that Yu Hua had been killed, and they hated Jia Xiaolin, who was eager to surrender to the Japanese and massacre the Chinese.

This is blatant treason, Jia Xiaolin must die!

Yuan Cheng was plotting in a safe house in the French Concession. After Jiang Yifan received the telegram, he was also secretly calculating in his mind!

The next day, a massive demonstration officially kicked off in front of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce building!

The marching crowd, holding up banners and shouting slogans, walked along the streets, singing all the way, towards the International Settlement.

After hearing the news, the demonstrations in the International Settlement also headed towards the public entrance. The two sides confronted each other at the entrance and did not disperse until dark.

That night, the International Settlement Chamber of Commerce held another emergency meeting, demanding that all foreign businessmen in Shanghai, including British, American, French and other businessmen, as well as all Chinese businessmen doing business with Western businessmen, unite and hold another more massive demonstration.

This was strongly supported by the French Concession Chamber of Commerce and approved by the vast majority of Chinese businessmen.

This was naturally caused by the secret instigation of Green Gang leader Du Yunqing, the underground party, and Shancheng, which caused a surge in the number of demonstrators in the International Settlement and the French Concession the next day. It was like a steel torrent, trying to rush out of the concession, rush to the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters and raze it to the ground.

The Japanese Chamber of Commerce suddenly woke up from their dream and immediately held a meeting to organize Japanese businessmen to take to the streets and join the demonstrations organized by Jia Xiaolin.

At the same time, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office are also strongly protesting to each other, expressing serious concern and holding urgent consultations, and the conflict is on the verge of breaking out.
