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

"Thirty...twenty...ten,nine..."

"Mr. Lin, what do I need to do?"

Before he knew it, Shen An, whose forehead was already covered in sweat, uttered these words and his back immediately slumped down.

This is the kind of person who killed Zhang Xiaolin without a second thought.

Therefore, when Lin Yi said he would reunite his whole family, he absolutely believed him.

Lin Yi smiled and lowered his right hand: "Finding a way to cover up my father's affair shouldn't be too difficult for you, Brother Shen, right?"

"Of course, I won't make things difficult for my friends."

"I will send my father away from Shanghai at that time to put an end to this matter."

"Also, if there is anything I can do to assist you, please feel free to ask, Brother Shen."

"For example, make your subordinates shut up in a reasonable way."

Does this guy treat killing like it's nothing?

Thinking to himself, Shen An shook his head: "No need, they're all my trusted confidants, I can handle them."

After saying that, Shen An glanced at Lin Yi and said, "However, I need a reason to justifiably put this investigation on hold."

Lin Yi didn't rush to speak, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Shen, you didn't come to Jinling this time specifically for my father's matter, did you?"

"……no."

Upon receiving this answer, Shen An couldn't help but admire Lin Yi's meticulousness.

It must have been her flustered demeanor when she first met him that gave her away.

He was certain that Lin Yi had guessed that he was the mastermind behind Zhang Xiaolin's murder.

"understood."

Lin Yi smiled broadly: "I will arrange this matter well and make sure Brother Shen is satisfied."

Lin Yi didn't elaborate, and took the money box from Ah Sheng's hand.

He handed it to Shen An and said with a smile, "Brother Shen, please take these. I will arrange for someone to deliver the remaining 100,000 to your residence."

This is an open threat!

Cursing under his breath, Shen An gritted his teeth and reached out to take the money box...

As the cargo ship docked, Lin Yi waved goodbye and watched Shen Anyuan depart.

"Actually, killing him would be enough. I'll arrange it flawlessly."

Fang Chang, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

This is something he's good at.

During this time, he carefully studied all the methods that Lin Yi had previously given him.

Kill Shen An to silence him and shift the blame elsewhere.

Fang Chang felt it wasn't a difficult task.

Lin Yi shook his head: "Old Fang, the more complicated you make things, the more flaws you'll leave behind."

"Therefore, keeping it simple is the most suitable option for us."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face: "Moreover, if this matter is accomplished, it means that we have a lead in the intelligence agency."

"In the future, it might play a significant role."

The Special Service Department is the future Military Intelligence Bureau.

Lin Yi found the thought of having someone of his own in the upper echelons of the Military Intelligence Bureau thrilling!

He didn't explain much to Fang Chang, saying, "Shen An wants us to cooperate with him; we're going to get things done tonight."

Hearing him say this, Fang Chang immediately became interested: "Tell me about it."

"The Japanese concession, Dongsen Trading Company, let's make a big fuss."

Lin Yi had always remembered the name Dongsen Trading Company.

There was already a plan to retaliate at the right time.

Now is the perfect time to use this incident to create a suitable reason for Shen An.

A bunch of Japanese died.

This is a big enough issue.

Hearing his words, Fang Chang put on that smiling face again.

He then asked, "But are you so sure that this guy surnamed Shen won't turn against us?"

"And are you really planning to kill his whole family then?"

Hearing Fang Chang's words, A Sheng, who was standing to the side, also looked over nervously.

The sins of the wife and children should not be visited upon them; this is a rule of the martial arts world and a matter of morality.

Ah Sheng didn't want his young master to be an unethical person.

"I still have my bottom line."

Lin Yi shook his head: "As for whether Shen An will go back on his word, that depends on how well you handle things tonight."

Upon hearing this, Fang Chang grinned...

"Team leader, who are they?"

He returned to the alley where he had been taken away.

Shen An had barely arrived when his two subordinates were also brought back.

Immediately afterwards, the driver also appeared in his car.

Unlike Shen An, she also met with Lin Yi.

At this moment, all three of them were completely bewildered.

After the two subordinates were put into sacks, they remained quietly in the trunk.

As for the driver, he had a gun pointed at his waist and was being forced to circle around the area.

But at this moment, Shen An had no mind to explain this to the others.

"Back to the tea shop."

He said something with a grim expression, picked up the box in his hand, opened the car door, and got in.

Half an hour later, the car returned to Dewang Tea House.

Shen An, after getting out of the car, ignored the person in charge of the outpost who came out to greet him.

I went straight up to the second floor and went into a teahouse facing the street.

He opened the window a crack and carefully observed the area around the tea shop.

About ten minutes passed, and Shen An still hadn't found anyone suspicious.

So trusting, they didn't even send anyone to keep an eye on me?

As he was pondering this with some surprise, he heard a knock on the door of the tea room.

Then, the subordinate who got out of the car halfway came in.

"Team leader, we haven't found anyone following us."

"understood."

Shen An waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to leave.

After closing the door to the tea room, he casually closed the window and looked at the leather suitcase placed to the side.

Inside was probably 100,000 yuan, the amount he could only earn in his entire life.

Shen An was still hesitant about whether or not to accept the money.

He did indeed chicken out when faced with life-or-death situations on the ship.

But he didn't expect Lin Yi to let him leave so easily.

He is now a free man.

Just as Lin Yi said, he had the opportunity to back out and stab the other party in the back.

Now, all he needs to do is send a telegram back to Nanjing.

Before nightfall, a large number of elite soldiers from the Special Service Department will arrive in Shanghai.

As for his family, they can also be kept under strict protection.

They even moved directly into the secret service compound.

As long as Lin Yi is dealt with in Shanghai, the Lin family's influence can be eradicated under the pretext of eliminating the underground party.

That way, he wouldn't have been reduced to a puppet.

He and his family were no longer threatened.

He could even use this to gain merit.

However, if things don't go smoothly and Lin Yi gets away... Thinking about the consequences, Shen An felt a headache coming on.

They were targeted by someone with such cunning methods, yet who had no moral compass.

This could have far more serious consequences than being seen as a thorn in the side by the underground Communist Party.

After pondering and agonizing for a long time, Shen An finally let out a long sigh of relief and made his decision.

Since we are caught in a dilemma, the best option is to observe how things develop before making a final decision.

When Lin Yi said he would create a sufficient reason for him to legitimately shelve the investigation of Lin Andao, his tone was very confident.

This should be considered a good opportunity to...test the other party's abilities again.

The next day, early morning.

The sky was bright.

Having not slept all night, Shen An, sporting dark circles under his eyes, was just about to go out to find something to eat when...

Suddenly there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Team leader, urgent telegram from Nanjing!"

Feeling guilty, Shen An's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed to open the door.

"what's up?"

"A tragedy occurred last night at a company called Dongsen Trading Company in the Japanese concession, where more than twenty employees and their families were murdered."

"The director ordered us to go to the scene immediately to find out what was going on, and he arrived before noon."

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Shen An's face turned pale instantly.

Damn it, how could such a coincidence exist in the world?!
