People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Fuxing Society Special Service Department.

Hearing Tie Lin utter those six words, Lin Yi was speechless.

The Party Affairs Investigation Section and the Fuxing Society's Special Service Department were both intelligence organizations based in Nanjing.

Not to mention that he had some knowledge of the history of the Republic of China and knew that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (MMIS) would not get along in the future.

Even if there is no conflict, people in the same industry who work on two different lines are definitely in competition with each other.

He couldn't determine why the Party Affairs Investigation Department, which had initially failed in its operation, hadn't conducted a thorough investigation into the matter.

But a bold guess is that there is an underground party mole within the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Only in this way can we cooperate with Uncle Nan to quickly cover up this matter.

As for the Secret Service personnel now appearing to investigate this matter.

Whether it was to uncover the underground party or to use this opportunity to strike at the Investigation Department, a competitor, it made little difference to Lin Yi.

In short, once this matter is exposed, he will be unable to stay in Shanghai any longer.

All the businesses that the Lin family had worked so hard to build up over this period, as well as the businesses that the Lin family itself owned, had to be abandoned.

The total value is only a mere ten or twenty million.

Lin Yi didn't care.

The key is that he is very satisfied with the current start.

This also perfectly aligns with his long-term plans for the future.

Choosing to run away like this not only resulted in the loss of more than a month of time, but also made it extremely difficult to start over later.

Especially since he would be suspected of being a member of the underground Communist Party, and it would be extremely difficult for him to do anything in the country nominally ruled by Nanjing.

As for using Lin Andao's underground party identity to run into the Red Zone... the thought had barely crossed his mind when Lin Yi suppressed it.

He wants to develop industry.

Not to mention that the Red Zone is currently small and completely blocked by Nanjing, it is experiencing a shortage of various supplies.

It simply does not have the conditions to develop industry.

According to his understanding of history, if there are no changes in this time and space, it should be 25,000 li in two years.

Even if he manages to build up some industries, in the end, they will all benefit Chiang Kai-shek.

Several thoughts quickly swirled through Lin Yi's mind, and he made a decision.

Running away is the last resort.

The best course of action for him now is to appease the Special Service Department and continue to cover up Lin Andao's affair.

As long as this doesn't happen, everything will remain the same.

"Detective Tie, do you know which member of the Special Service is investigating this matter?"

"The intelligence team leader, Shen An, has settled in the Dewang Tea House in the International Settlement, which is the base of the Special Service Department."

"Currently, they are also inquiring about the assassination attempt on your father."

Tie Lin did not hide anything.

Although he wasn't a member of the underground Communist Party, he witnessed far too much killing during the White Terror of the past few years.

We also deeply admire those underground party members who bravely sacrificed their lives.

That is faith.

Just as he firmly believed, even in this chaotic world, there are still people who uphold justice.

So, he came today.

But all he could do was provide the information he had.

This matter cannot be covered up by a mere detective like him.

"Thank you."

Lin Yi thanked him and then instructed Ah Sheng to arrange a car to take Tie Lin back.

He also knew that things had reached a point where Tie Lin could no longer offer any help.

Ah-Sheng, who also understood the seriousness of the matter, rushed back after seeing the person off.

His expression was anxious and bewildered.

Ah Sheng felt a little dizzy when he realized that the gang leader he had followed for several years was actually a member of the underground Communist Party.

"Two things."

Upon hearing Lin Yi speak, Ah Sheng quickly perked up.

"Send a telegram to the island, ordering Fang Chang to bring his men back immediately."

"After you finish this business, take a few people to Dewang Tea House. You don't need to do anything else, just stay nearby and keep an eye on the comings and goings."

"Isn't tracking necessary?"

"……Need not."

Lin Yi also wanted to follow them and see what these people from the Special Service were doing.

However, surveillance is a very professional activity.

And the people in the Secret Service happen to be experts in this field.

With a bunch of novices like Ah Sheng, rashly following them would only expose themselves.

All they could do was confirm whether the other party was at Dewang Tea House when Lin Yi wanted to meet them.

Otherwise, if they come up empty-handed, they will surely alert the enemy.

Now it will be even more difficult to resolve this problem.

Ah Sheng left in a hurry.

Lin Yi paced back and forth in his office for a while before deciding to keep the matter a secret from Uncle Nan.

Since Lin Andao is a member of the underground Communist Party, then Uncle Nan must be one as well.

If we tell Uncle Nan about this, it will be Lin Yi who will be in a difficult position.

He only wants to do business and engage in real industries.

He had no intention of joining the underground Communist Party.

The simplest consideration.

Once you become an underground party member, what if the organization sends you orders to develop industry in the Red areas? Should you obey or not?

So if I can handle this myself.

The current situation, where Uncle Nan is keeping it from me, and I know he's keeping it from me but choose to play dumb, with everyone keeping secrets from each other, is undoubtedly the best.

Thinking about these things, Lin Yi's originally tense expression finally became a little more lively.

Although Lin Andao's identity as an underground party member brought him a lot of trouble.

But there are also many benefits.

Especially when looking at the long term.

With this connection, as long as I make some contributions through Uncle Nan in the future, I can't escape the identity of a red capitalist with a red lineage!

Fang Chang returned very quickly.

The following morning, it was dark and windy.

Fang Chang scaled the wall and entered the Lin Mansion like a ghost, then slipped into Lin Yi's bedroom.

"I knew you wouldn't knock."

Lin Yi, who had just turned on the desk lamp, said something in an annoyed tone.

He woke up in the middle of the night with something on his mind.

Knowing Fang Chang's habits, I decided to just wait for him to appear.

The small steamboats on the island don't move very fast.

He calculated the time; if Fang Chang set off as soon as he received the telegram, he would arrive before dawn.

Fang Chang smiled, narrowing his eyes: "Why did you call me back in such a hurry? Who are you going to kill?"

Whether to kill or not depends on the situation.

Lin Yi sat up abruptly and asked, "Have you heard of the Fuxing Society's Special Service Department?"

"heard about it."

Fang Chang nodded: "Last year, Chen Daqiu even sent word that a section chief surnamed Dai wanted to recruit me as the captain of the action team, but I wasn't interested."

Lin Yi: Awesome, I've really struck gold.

Thinking to himself, Lin Yi smiled and said, "They're from the Special Service."

"I just found out that my father was actually a member of the underground Communist Party."

He and Fang Chang were close friends who shared secrets, so there was no need to hide this from Fang Chang.

“The Secret Service has now investigated him, and I’m going to have a talk with them.”

"It would be best if they were willing to be my friend, but if not, then I'll have to strike first."

Fang Chang nodded, showing little interest in Lin Andao's underground party activities, and asked, "Then what do you need me to do?"

"The person in charge of this event is named Shen An. Please ask him to come over."

"The quieter the better."
