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

Upon hearing this, Li Qun couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Oh my! Is this guy so honest? He invites us as he says? And he invites us at home? Is it really that grand?

You know, since this kid came to Shanghai, he has never invited guests to his home?

Isn’t this a bit abnormal?

Thinking of this, Li Qun declined with trepidation:

"Chief Shimahashi? There's no need to go to all this trouble, right? I'm also very busy here. Besides, I haven't made any contribution, so I really don't deserve it. No, no! Shimahashi, I think we should just forget it."

Jiang Yifan heard this and immediately scolded:

"Stupid! Have you forgotten the conflict between you and Zhou Fuhai? You should know that you were able to become the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang because of the recommendation of the senior Japanese officials in Shanghai. They are your backers.

You should have strengthened your relationship with Shanghai to fight against Zhou Fuhai. I am now paving the way for you, do you know?

Do you think that even without the support of Shanghai, you can still be a powerful and influential person?

Can you get such a good thing by burning incense and praying to Buddha?

It stands to reason that when you become the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you should return to Shanghai and treat guests. Now I am inviting you instead and letting Shanghai senior officials accompany you, but you don’t even want to come. Are you crazy?"

Li Qun listened to Jiang Yifan's lecture on the phone and felt that it was indeed true. Although he didn't want to go back to Shanghai, the boy had already said so much, so he could only reply with a grateful tone:

"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Shimahashi. I will be there on time tomorrow with Commander Amasawa and Chief Aiba Masaki. See you there!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yifan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fish finally took the bait!

"It's a deal! We'll be at the gate of the Japanese Concession tomorrow, waiting for you!"

Jiang Yifan finished speaking on the phone and hung up.

Li Qun put down the phone and walked back and forth in the office.

There's something wrong here?

Shinichi Shimahashi said that after becoming the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he should return to Shanghai to invite senior officials from Shanghai. This is indeed true.

But I don’t know why, I just have a resistance to Shanghai, so I didn’t invite Shanghai.

But now, the senior officials in Shanghai are not only not angry, but they are even inviting me instead. Isn't this abnormal?

Could it be because he increased the amount of grain allocated to Shanghai by 10 percent?

Why does it always feel a bit like the Hongmen Banquet?

Could it be that he wanted to plead with me for more grain allocation from Shanghai?

If this is the case, then this problem is easy to solve. We should agree to it at the dinner table, and after returning to Suzhou, we can increase the share given to Shanghai to 15% at most, and then everything will be fine.

In order to deal with Zhou Fuhai, this is the smallest sacrifice that must be made.

After all, what Shimahashi Shinichi said were all from the bottom of his heart. If he lost the support of the senior officials in Shanghai, he really would not be able to defeat the old fox Chou Fuhai.

But, Shimahashi Shinichi didn’t treat himself like this before, right?

How come it suddenly becomes that everything is just for your own good?

Could it be that those one hundred yellow croakers are still at work?

Or is it that Shanghai’s food supply is really in trouble and they have no choice but to do so?

After thinking about it, Li Qun still couldn't figure out a clue, but one thing was certain, that is, Shimahashi Shinichi did not get any evidence of him speculating in grain!

Because all the paper materials carried by Shinichi Shimahashi, Ryuei Miyazaki, and Sachiko Hatsushima were stolen back, this means that Shinichi Shimahashi did not obtain the relevant evidence.

As long as there is no evidence in this regard, the Japanese will not commit murder against us.

After all, Japan is in need of help right now. If we underestimate them, they will not easily harm us.

Then again, given the current situation, if the Japanese want me to die, can I escape?

Thinking of this, Li Qun felt relieved. He picked up the phone and called Seiji Amasawa and Masaki Aiba to explain the situation and agreed to drive together to Shanghai tomorrow to keep the appointment.

Aiba Masaki and Amasawa Seiji both agreed readily, and Li Qun put down the phone.

Jiang Yifan told General Kurokawa the result immediately.

"Yoshi! Go back and get busy! To keep it secret, tomorrow morning, I will directly notify Bian Liwei and Kumagawa Daiki to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, and we will go to the gate of the Japanese Concession together to welcome Li Qun!"

After listening to Li Qun's report, Kurokawa Masanori looked at Jiang Yifan and gave an order.

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan responded and turned to leave.

When he returned home, he just told Kuno Rika that there would be guests coming to his house for dinner the next day, but he did not tell her the details.

After hearing this, Kuno Rika smiled and started to get busy at home with Jiang Yifan.

The house had already been cleaned thoroughly by Kuno Rika, but Kuno Rika still cleaned it again thoroughly inside and out.

After lunch, Jiang Yifan and Kuno Rika went to the street again, bought the necessary ingredients, and went to a Japanese restaurant to make an appointment with a famous chef. Then they returned home and sat down to rest for a while.

Then, Kuno Rika cooked a meal. After the two of them ate, Jiang Yifan said he had something else to do and left the Japanese Concession.

He walked into the safe house and reported the situation to Xiao Yunlong.

After hearing this, Xiao Yunlong was very excited: "In other words, tomorrow is the day Li Qun will die?"

"No! This virus will break out in two days." Jiang Yifan answered truthfully.

Then, Jiang Yifan changed the topic and continued:

"Now there is another issue that needs to be considered, that is, what should we do with Professor Toshiaki Karasawa of Unit 731?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yunlong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "Do you still want to kill Tang Ze Shouming?"

"As long as I am not suspected, it is a piece of cake. Why should I let this devil who is killing Chinese people go?"

When Jiang Yifan said this, his fists were clenched tightly and his eyes were filled with anger.

"Okay! Then tell me the details."

Xiao Yunlong patted Jiang Yifan on the shoulder decisively and said as if he had made up his mind.

"After Li Qun leaves, Tang Ze Shouming will also take a car to the train station and leave Shanghai. At this time, I can no longer contact you, so you should send someone to watch near the gate of the Japanese Concession. If you find Tang Ze Shouming getting on the car, you should follow him, or arrange people at the train station in advance."

Jiang Yifan paused here and continued:

"We need to research the location and reason for the action. It would be best to create the illusion of death in chaos so that the Japanese will not suspect that it was an assassination."
