After Zhang Yunhe finished his meal, washed up, and then hugged his second wife and had a good sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, Azhen was no longer around. My chubby son was lying next to me, babbling and playing alone.

At this moment, Tiexue's computer prompted that a virtual phone call had come in. He immediately answered the call: "Hello?"

Matsui's voice came from the phone: "Something serious has happened. The special envoy and his group disappeared on their way to Jinling. Except for a few of the two teams that escorted them, everyone else is missing!"

Zhang Yunhe asked, "I see. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Matsui said on the phone: "Later, our people found the damaged train and sent another battalion of troops there, but none of them came back and we have lost contact with them!"

"The news has reached Jinling and has been reported back home. A decision was made last night to immediately send someone to investigate. It seems they won't stop until they find a result!"

Zhang Yunhe asked, "If we're going to hold someone responsible for this matter, it shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"

Matsui's voice came: "What does this have to do with me? The train the special envoy and his entourage were on only got into trouble after leaving Shanghai. If anyone is to be held accountable, the person in charge of the place where the incident occurred should be held accountable!"

"That's good. Please inform me in time if there is any new news!" said Zhang Yunhe.

"Hayi!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhe washed his son's face who had woken up and fed him some porridge and milk. Not long after, Azhen came back with the groceries.

"Let me do it, you go wash up and have breakfast!" Azhen carried her son over.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Zhang Yunhe sat at the table and ate the breakfast Ah Zhen had made. While eating, he asked, "How is the market today?"

Ah Zhen said worriedly, "The prices of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea have gone up again. What will happen if they keep going up like this?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "This is because the Japanese have stepped up their looting outside the concessions. There's nothing we can do right now. I'll try to get some daily necessities back this morning!"

After breakfast, Zhang Yunhe went out and called the rain-soaked office at the Blue Shirts Society headquarters using a virtual dialer while driving.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"I'm Higanbana. I have the latest news about the Japanese envoys. Do you want to know?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

Yu Shuinong immediately asked, "The news I received earlier was that they had already left Shanghai. What's the news now?"

Zhang Yunhe smoked a cigarette and said, "Miyamoto Ryuzo and his group were all killed. No one knows who did it!"

"They were all killed? How is that possible?" Yu Shuinong was quite shocked. The Blue Shirts Society had no way to do anything, and couldn't even get close to it, so how could they talk about assassination?

"The news is true. Anyway, I have already delivered the message. We understand the matter now, and I didn't take your money in vain!" Zhang Yunhe said.

Yu Shuinong asked, "You said they were all killed. Does that mean it must be true? What evidence do you have? At least I haven't received any news about them being killed, and there's no news report!"

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "My people found their bodies and took photos. If you want the photos, I'll have someone send them to Songhu Station. But if you want the bodies, you'll have to pay extra!"

Corpse?

Yu Shuinong was stunned when he heard this. He immediately thought of the great role of the bodies of the Japanese envoy and his entourage. As long as these bodies were obtained and made public, it would inevitably deal a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese. At the same time, it would increase the confidence and support of the international community for Jiangzhou and obtain more assistance from overseas Chinese.

He immediately asked, "How much do you want?"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Are you crazy about money? How can some corpses be worth so much money?" Yu Shuinong said angrily.

Zhang Yunhe said indifferently, "It's okay if you don't want the body. I'll have them thrown into the Huangpu River to feed the fish. The Japs are blocking the news now. If they don't announce it, the outside world won't know anything about the Japs envoy's misfortune, and this incident will be lost in history!"

Yu Shuinong was helpless. He really wanted the bodies of the Japanese envoy and his group, but he didn't want to pay so much money. He said, "Three hundred thousand is too much. I will only pay one hundred thousand at most, not a penny more!"

"If that's the case, forget it. I don't need this little money. Goodbye!"

Just as Zhang Yunhe was about to hang up, Yu Shuinong shouted from the other end, "Wait, three hundred thousand is really too much. Funding is tight across all departments right now, including our Blue Shirts Society. How about a little less, 15?"

"Humph, Yuzuo, don't you see how much the prices are skyrocketing out there? One hundred French francs now can't buy as much as thirty before the war. It's at least two hundred thousand, not a penny less!"

"If you agree, please transfer the money. Once I receive the money, I will send someone to deliver the body to the Battle of Shanghai. If you don't agree, just pretend I never said anything. I'm hanging up!"

After ending the call, Zhang Yunhe found a secluded place to park his car, then hid in the car and disguised himself as Ishida's friend and showed up at the Concession Police Building. He stayed in the office for two hours and then drove back.

On the way back, he packed two bags of rice, two bags of flour, dozens of kilograms of bacon, several barrels of soybean oil, salt, and various seasonings into the trunk of his car.

In addition to these, he also took out some daily necessities from the backpack space and stuffed them into the car, filling the back seat.

Back at the fabric store, Ah Zhen saw him unloading so many daily necessities from the car and quickly asked, "Where did you get so much high-quality rice and flour? This is not something that ordinary people can get!"

"Don't worry about it. Hide these things and don't let anyone see them!" Zhang Yunhe instructed.

At this time in the hospital, the doctor was checking Wang Tianshui's wound recovery.

After the examination, Wang Tianshui immediately asked, "Doctor, how am I recovering?"

The foreign doctor said, "Mr. Wang, you are very strong and your wounds are healing well. I suggest you stay in the hospital for two more days for observation. If you want to be discharged today, that's fine. However, please avoid strenuous exercise within the next few days to prevent the wound from rupturing. Don't get wet!"

"I'll be discharged today. Please, doctor!"

After sending the doctor away, Wang Tianshui asked Liu Shushan to close the ward door.

"Xiao Liu, you have experienced this matter wholeheartedly. Although I am innocent, the superiors have already determined that I have betrayed them, otherwise they would not have sent people to kill me. I, Wang Tianshui, have risked my life for them for so many years, but ended up with such an ending. I cannot accept this!" Wang Tianshui looked sad.

Liu Shushan was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I only have one way now, and that is to go to Li Qun for help. Without the protection of No. 76, I will die. The superiors will never let me go. If I go there, are you willing to go with me?" Wang Tianshui looked at Liu Shushan and asked.

Liu Shushan immediately stood at attention and said, "The stationmaster has been so kind to me and treats me like his own son or nephew. I, Liu Shushan, have no way of repaying you and am willing to follow you all the way to the end!"
