You were asked to keep a low profile and lie low, so you became the chief of a special high-tech dep

The British were not afraid of the Japanese, but they did not want to have conflicts with them, because Japan was not their real enemy at all. The international community knew that the real enemy of the British was Germany.

Germany has been eyeing Britain and France for a long time and is making intensive preparations. As long as it finds an opportunity, it will pounce on them like a tiger.

Therefore, Richard, the British Consulate in Shanghai, repeatedly warned Mr. Evan, asking him to remain calm and make a big deal out of a small matter. He must not intensify the conflict, cause a quarrel that could not be resolved.

Japan is already willing but unable to deal with China, so it must not escalate the conflict and add another enemy on the international stage.

It was only because the French Concession and the International Settlement had become the anti-Japanese base in Shanghai that they were forced to take action.

Moreover, now that they have achieved their goal and obtained certain management rights in the International Settlement, they want to keep things peaceful.

If Jia Xiaolin hadn't rushed to curry favor with them, they would not have planned to hold a counter-demonstration.

After mediation by Tokita Chaoyang and Richard, they finally reached a compromise agreement to suspend Captain Shimahashi's activities in the International Settlement for ten days. After ten days, if no evidence was found that the Japanese were the ones who did it, all Captain Shimahashi's rights in the International Settlement must be restored.

The wave of demonstrations that had just begun came to a temporary end.

The police station was busy conducting an in-depth investigation, while the Japanese and Johnson were waiting for the results of the investigation.

Just when the trees wanted to be still but the wind did not stop, an inappropriate landscape appeared on Yunfeng Road in the International Settlement.

William and Zuo He Youzi were walking around leisurely, looking around and discussing something.

After hearing the news, Johnson immediately dragged his fat body to William's side, looked at Zuo He Yuzi, then looked at William and asked:

"Mr. William! How come you are with a Japanese woman?"

Hearing this, William looked at Johnson as if he were a fool and replied:

"Ms. Yuko, I want to open a dance hall here and asked me to help choose a place! Why do you have any objections?"

Johnson was furious when he heard this and said angrily, "Don't you know that my opium den has been destroyed by the Japanese? Why are you still hanging out with the Japanese?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo He Yuzi quickly looked at William, meaning that if it didn't work, we could come back a few days later.

But William said with disdain: "Your opium den was destroyed, what does it have to do with me? I said you ruined my business with the Japanese? What? You are going to compensate me too? You are crazy!"

Then William pushed Johnson aside rudely and continued walking forward.

"Mr. William! Isn't this bad? We haven't even started business yet, but we've already offended an Englishman. Isn't this the same as making an enemy before we even start business?"

Yuuko Sago asked with a worried look on her face.

William couldn't help laughing when he heard it:

"Hahaha! Miss Yuko! You worry too much. Not to mention that I am here, no one dares to touch you in the International Settlement. Just the big tree of Shimahashi is enough for you to enjoy the shade. Just make money. If anyone dares to make trouble, just find Shimahashi. He will definitely help you settle everything."

After hearing this, Zuo He Yuzi finally felt relieved.

Although it was Keiko Tanaka's idea to open a dance hall in the International Settlement, Yuko Sago knew that Keiko Tanaka's purpose was not simply to make money for herself, she must have other purposes.

In other words, Keiko Tanaka only used the dance hall as a tool to complete her tasks. As for whether she could make money or even whether her safety was guaranteed, Keiko Tanaka didn't consider these at all.

Mr. William and Mr. Shimahashi are the only ones who consider this aspect.

Although Shimahashi Shinichi always avoids me, he has been helping me unconditionally from beginning to end, which is enough to show Shimahashi's character.

With William as a big tree, who would dare to cause trouble?

Thinking of this, Zuo Youzi's heart finally calmed down.

Finally, at William's suggestion, Zuo He Youzi finally decided to rent a three-story Western-style building at No. 69 Yunfeng Road as the location of the dance hall.

Johnson looked at the backs of William and Zuo Youzi as they walked away, his belly bulging with anger, but he was helpless. He could only curse in English to the air and stormed towards the police station.

He wanted to report William to Adams, the chief of the police station, accusing William of having no national consciousness, being only interested in money, and actually helping Japanese women choose shops in the International Settlement to do business.

Upon hearing this, Adams frowned and said:

"Mr. Johnson, I advise you to be quiet and not cause any more trouble. Your case has already caused enough trouble for the police station. So far, no clues have been found."

Hearing this, Johnson interrupted Adams in surprise and asked:

"What do you mean there is no clue at all? I have a thousand boxes of guns and ammunition and more than a thousand boxes of opium! Even if a mosquito flies by, it will leave a shadow and sound, right? Not to mention such a large number of things? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Headmaster Adams frowned and could only answer truthfully:

"What you said makes sense, but the problem lies in this aspect. All the insiders, including our police, know that you are suing the Japanese. They think you are secretly transferring the evidence, so they all stand on your side, turning a blind eye and pretending not to see anything. Just like that, no one knows who transported the goods from your two warehouses."

"This……"

Johnson was so shocked by the news from Adams' roommate that he was speechless.

After a long time, he finally recovered his breath and yelled hysterically:

"Captain Adams, is this the truth you want to tell me? No! This is absolutely impossible! My goods must have been transported away by the Japanese. You must help me seek justice from the Japanese and recover all my losses."

Adams, the head of the room, immediately persuaded the irritable Johnson:

"Calm down! Calm down! Mr. Johnson, don't we want to help you? But if we can't get evidence, how can we go to the Japanese to seek justice? Do you think the Japanese are so easy to talk to?"

At this point, Adams paused, thought about it, and finally said:

"In fact, you are partly responsible for this matter. After the incident, you should have either admitted that you were dealing in guns and ammunition, or found a way to transfer them out. But you did nothing? Instead, Captain Daoqiao searched them out in front of General Manager Evan. Aren't all these passive situations caused by your carelessness?"
