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

Early the next morning, which was the fourth morning of the ten-day deadline that Sato Ichiro gave Jiang Yifan, a bolt from the blue exploded in the sky throughout Shanghai!

Shanghai implements foreign embargo and cuts off goods for the second time!

This caught all the businessmen in Shanghai off guard. Even Tanaka Keiko, Hihara Ryosuke, and Li Qun were all shocked.

What is this kid doing again?

Among all the Western businessmen, William was the one who reacted the strongest.

He was the first to arrive at the office of the General Manager of the Public Affairs Bureau of the International Settlement, and he shouted angrily, shaking the earth:

"This business was just getting on track, why did it suddenly come to a halt? Can we still do business here?"

Seeing William's anger, the British businessmen who had originally dared not say a word suddenly became outraged and came to General Manager Evan's office to ask for an explanation.

Director Evan also picked up the phone angrily and called Jiang Yifan:

"Hey! Chief Shimahashi! What's going on? We were just on the right track, why did it suddenly stop?"

"Reporting to General Manager Evan, I have been ordered to conduct a strict investigation into the whereabouts of all merchants' goods. There are signs that all the materials have flowed to the mountain city and the Soviet area. This problem is very serious, and I have no choice but to do this."

Jiang Yifan answered the phone.

He deliberately spoke in a serious manner, of course, in order to attract the attention of the British and muddy the waters.

"Nonsense! What does the flow of materials have to do with us merchants? We merchants sell goods. As long as there are people who buy, we sell. Is this illegal?"

CEO Evan was furious on the phone.

"Mr. Evan! I'm sorry! I'm just following orders!" Jiang Yifan said and hung up the phone.

"That's just nonsense!" Director Evan angrily slammed the phone on the table.

"Director Evan! We can't wait any longer. Notify Consul Richard immediately and protest to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai. Demand that they lift the embargo immediately!"

William demanded in a particularly strong tone.

Faced with the aggressive British businessman, General Manager Evan dared not neglect him. He immediately notified Richard and drove to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.

William also led the crowd behind, shouting slogans along the street.

"Lift the embargo and out-of-stock immediately!"

"Freedom to buy and sell materials!"

……

But when General Manager Evan arrived at the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai and the office of Tokiwa Chaoyang, the General Manager of the French Concession was already sitting in the office, negotiating with Tokiwa Chaoyang.

When Shi Tian Chaoyang looked over, he saw that the British general manager had also arrived, and there were many British people outside shouting slogans.

But before he could say hello to General Manager Evan, American Consul Sarabin also walked in.

When Shi Tian Chaoyang saw this lineup, he felt a headache!

But the key point is that he didn't get any news in advance!

It was totally unexpected!

He walked into the inner room angrily, picked up the phone, dialed Jiang Yifan's office number, and asked, "Director Daoqiao! What's going on?"

"What? Didn't Commander Sato inform you? I was just following orders!"

After Jiang Yifan finished speaking, he briefly recounted the general process of the incident.

"This is simply nonsense!" Tokita Chaoyang hung up the phone and called the headquarters again:

"Hey! What's going on?"

Sato Ichiro angrily recounted the incident briefly, and then said, "Tokita-kun! If I don't order a thorough investigation, I won't be able to bear the responsibility if the higher-ups blame me!"

"But is it necessary to check this? Even a simple thinker should be able to figure out that in such a chaotic situation, the flow of materials will definitely go to the mountain city and the Soviet area. What nonsense! Do they want to repeat the last demonstration?"

Tokita Chaoyang hung up the phone after saying this.

He steadied his words, opened the door to the inner room, walked out, and said to the British, American, and French consuls and the general manager:

"Everyone! Calm down! This happened suddenly, and I just learned a little bit about it. So, tomorrow, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer. Everyone! Please go back and wait patiently."

"Humph! When did you Japanese learn to push your luck? If you don't give a satisfactory answer tomorrow, you will bear the consequences."

The American Consul Sarabin said in a tough tone.

"In the contract we signed, there is no clause regarding the destination of the goods. Do you want to control our merchants like you control the Chinese? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

Consul Richard also looked at Tokita Chaoyang and said in a slapping manner.

"We have been able to make it this far. The sun has already risen from the west. If it weren't for the second Hades' big reversal, would you have had the ending you have today?"

Director Evan also told the truth.

"You Japanese are not trustworthy, that's the only thing that's unacceptable!" General Manager Pi Shaonai also said on the side.

For a moment, Shi Tian Chaoyang's old face turned red and green, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. No matter what, he finally persuaded the group of people to leave by coaxing and deceiving them.

He turned around, got into his car, and drove straight to the gendarmerie headquarters.

At the same time, Jiang Yifan once again ordered a city-wide inspection of Shanghai, and no items were allowed to leave Shanghai.

For a time, checkpoints and intersections in Shanghai were all set up with roadblocks, prohibiting the passage of all prohibited items.

Shanghai, as big as it is, immediately became a stagnant pool at Jiang Yifan's command.

All the businessmen were gnashing their teeth at the Japanese, especially Shinichi Shimabashi, whom they cursed.

"That damned Shinichi Shimabashi, he should not have been let off during the last parade, he should have been shot to death!"

"Shimabashi Shinichi will die a horrible death sooner or later!"

……

However, in stark contrast, the International Settlement, the Public Affairs Bureau Building, and the vice-president’s office were filled with peace and tranquility.

As usual, after Jiang Yifan got to work, he first notified Li Qun, Kuikei Rikuto, Yamamoto Taro, Kumagawa Daiki, and Hatamura Masato to come to the office, held an emergency meeting, and conveyed Sato Ichiro's order.

Later, a city-wide curfew was ordered.

Then, the shops of several high-ranking Japanese officials, including Tanaka Keiko, Hihara Ryosuke, Li Qun, and Tokida Chaoyang, were transferred to the Public Affairs Bureau building, where they were interrogated and examined separately in different rooms by Li Qun, Kuikei Rikuto, Kumagawa Daiki, and Hatamura Masato.

Then, one group comes and one group leaves, taking turns to appear on the stage.

Jiang Yifan sat in his office, drinking tea and reviewing the interrogation records submitted by several deputy directors.

Damn it, no one admitted that they had any connection with Shancheng and the Soviet area. I don’t believe you at all!
