All Dong Hongchang's strongholds in Shanghai were destroyed overnight.
This news was blocked, and the Shanghai stronghold lost contact with Hanyang.
When Dong Hongchang's people discovered this, Lu Huai had already gone to Peiping.
Lu Huai's whereabouts are secret, no one knows that he is in Peking.
Before coming to Beiping, Lu Huai had asked his men to investigate Ji Manqing's affairs.
The subordinate knocked on the door and came in: "San Shao."
Lu Huai said, "How is the investigation?"
Previously, when Ji Manqing came to Beiping, she used a false identity. She met with the person above, no one knew.
There were also various forces in Shanghai to investigate the matter, but nothing was found.
The subordinates lowered their heads: "Through the Beiping government, we know who issued the special commissioner's documents."
"We investigated the man, and there is nothing suspicious about him."
"But we found another thing." The subordinate said, "The man had seen another official before the document was issued."
He took out a picture of a person and put it on the table.
"This person's name is Gu Renshan, who also works in the Peking government."
"On the surface, Gu Renshan has nothing to do with this matter, but the document is actually because of his instruction."
"..."
Lu Huai's eyes sank, he remembered the name.
In his previous life, Gu Renshan had a high position, but he fell in a major corruption case.
It is still early in this life, and Gu Renshan's position is stable and has not been shaken.
If Gu Renshan really participated in the affairs of Ji Manqing and Dong Hongchang, they must have evidence of his corruption in their hands.
Lu Huai's expression was indifferent: "Gu Renshan is a corrupt official."
The subordinate asked: "Three young masters, what should we do?"
Lu Huai opened his mouth, decisively, without being beaked.
"Collect all evidence of Gu Renshan's corruption."
"Then give it to Shang Sidao."
Shang Sidao is the son of the Deputy Prime Minister, and he has always been fair.
When this matter was handed over to him, Lu Huai was convinced that he would be willing to expose the truth.
Gu Renshan is extremely greedy, and he will receive due retribution ahead of time in this life.
The day when Gu Renshan fell, was when Ji Manqing was abolished.
…
Hanyang.
Winter is here, and the sky is gloomy and gloomy.
Dong Hongchang's eyes were cold, looking at the sky outside the window.
His eyes were dark and unclear, and his thoughts were deep.
Dong Hongchang asked his substitute Dai Shinan to return to Nanjing, and Lu Zongting could not find any mistakes or omissions.
Lu Zongting's agent Poppy has been instigated, but it will take some more time to observe in Hanyang before she is allowed to perform the mission.
Ji Manqing has already entered Shanghai as a special commissioner of the Peking government. Her movement is temporarily restricted and she is restrained everywhere in Shanghai.
Dong Hongchang frowned.
Although things are developing in the direction he imagined, but before the dust settles, everything is not a foregone conclusion after all, and I don't know when they can achieve their goals.
At this time, the phone on the desk rang.
The bell was extremely dull, like the gloomy sky outside the window.
Dong Hongchang walked over quickly and answered the phone.
There was the voice of the agent: "Warlord, something happened in Shanghai."
Dong Hongchang frowned, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
This agent is Dong Hongchang's person in East China. His task is to keep the Shanghai stronghold in contact with the outside world.
However, he has not received news from Shanghai for two consecutive days.
Maybe something unexpected happened. The agent went to Shanghai without being notified.
When the agents arrived in Shanghai, they found that the Shanghai headquarters was empty and the house was abandoned, but there were no signs of fighting inside.
The truth is hidden behind the clean up deliberately.
Someone here has moved their hands and feet, and blocked the news, so that the outside world cannot know what happened.
The agent counted all the things that happened in the past few days.
He did not hesitate: "Our stronghold in Shanghai has been taken."
"Don't keep one."
Dong Hongchang was furious, he already knew who did this.
Destroying his stronghold silently, the people of Shanghai didn't even notice it.
Only Lu Huai can do this.
The agent continued to report: "I found out after investigating that Lu Huai is no longer in Shanghai."
"The subordinate is incompetent, unable to find out his whereabouts."
Dong Hongchang's voice was cold: "Where is Mo Qinghan?"
"Mo Qinghan is still in Shanghai, and nothing has changed in the Public Board of Directors."
Dong Hongchang's words seemed to suppress his anger: "You should inform him now that during Lu Huai's departure from Shanghai..."
He gave the order, word by word, with great affirmation.
"Catch Ye Chu here."
Dong Hongchang was extremely suspicious.
How could the network of strongholds that he had worked hard to build in Shanghai over the years could be so easily wiped out by Lu Huai
Dong Hongchang knew very well that Lu Huai's actions were so smooth that there must be traitors among them.
Dong Hongchang's complexion became more and more gloomy.
Because he suspected that the person was Mo Qinghan.
The order that was just delivered was just to verify his conjecture.
He wanted to see which side Mo Qinghan was on now
…
The night is lonely, the lonely moon hangs in the sky alone, and the moonlight is as cold as water.
In early winter, the cold wind suddenly rises, and the cold air is a bit more intense.
Just before night, the temperature dropped sharply.
The car from the Warlord's Mansion happened to drive out of the Ye Mansion.
The car drove smoothly and melted into the cold night.
In the dark ups and downs, several cars suddenly appeared at the end of the long street.
The cars followed silently behind the cars of the Overseer House.
Time passed, and gradually formed a trend of encirclement.
The car in the Warlord’s Mansion speeds up, trying to get rid of the stalkers behind it.
In a secluded and empty place, the vehicle of the Warlord’s Mansion was intercepted and there was no way out.
The door of one of the cars opened, and a man got out of the car.
He walked to the middle of the car, reached out his hand and slammed the door.
Several dull sounds fell suddenly, and the wind in the distance blew away.
"Ye Chu, you can get out of the car."
It was Mo Qinghan's voice.
After a while, the car door opened.
Ye Chu got out of the car.
Mo Qinghan stepped back, one meter away from her.
When Ye Chu walked out, Mo Qinghan's eyes fell on her immediately.
The people in the car have already stepped out one after another, all with guns in their hands.
However, all the guns were hanging down on their sides, their muzzles facing downwards, and they were not aimed at Ye Chu.
Here are Mo Qinghan's subordinates, who only obey him.
Among these people, there are also a few Dong Hongchang people who are monitoring the whole process.
Mo Qinghan will come to catch Ye Chu, all on Dong Hongchang's instruction.
However, Mo Qinghan gave an order in advance when he was blocking the vehicle of the Warlord's Mansion.
Ye Chu is not allowed to hurt Ye Chu.
The night is overwhelming, blocking the only moonlight.
The dark guard sensed Ye Chu's danger and immediately appeared and stood behind her.
At this moment, Mo Qinghan's men raised their guns and aimed them at the secret guards.
The two parties confronted each other, and the atmosphere was extremely stagnant.
Ye Chu and Mo Qinghan had similar numbers of manpower on both sides. If they really fight together, no one will be better off.
Ye Chu raised his eyes to look at Mo Qinghan, and had already expected the current situation in his heart.
Mo Qinghan's expression was complicated, and his eyes were covered with a layer of pitch black.
He said: "It's better than we talk."
Ye Chu's eyes fell on Mo Qinghan's body, with a consistent coldness.
Some time ago, Dong Hongchang's stronghold was all controlled by them.
The reason why things went so smoothly is all because of an anonymous call.
On the phone, the person gave the address extremely detailed.
It seems to be someone who has lived with Dong Hongchang for many years.
Both Ye Chu and Lu Huai believed that Mo Qinghan made the call.
On the night of the end stronghold, they had already confirmed the matter.
This evening, Ye Chu decided to take the opportunity to test.
This time, she would know Mo Qinghan's true attitude.
In this situation, Ye Chu didn't have the slightest fear in his eyes.
She faintly said: "You let them go, I will go with you."
The silence lasted only a few seconds, and Mo Qinghan immediately agreed.
"Can."
The dark guard obeyed any orders from Ye Chu. Although the dark guard didn't want Ye Chu to take the risk alone, he turned and left when he saw Ye Chu's hint.
Mo Qinghan promised to let the dark guard leave, so he wouldn't do anything.
After a while, the dark guards dispersed, and the scene was almost empty in an instant.
Mo Qinghan's men stepped forward, trying to control Ye Chu's behavior with a gun.
When Mo Qinghan raised his hand, his men immediately stopped.
Mo Qinghan walked to his car.
He glanced at Ye Chu: "You are in the same car with me."
After speaking, Mo Qinghan opened the car door and stood aside, waiting for Ye Chu to get into the car.
Ye Chu couldn't help but recall his previous life.
At that time, Mo Qinghan sent people to chase and kill her overnight, and she fled in a hurry, but there was no way to escape.
Her family members died one by one, leaving her alone.
But Mo Qinghan pressed on step by step, and he was merciless, and he was bound to cut the grass and roots of the Ye Family.
It was just a moment, all sorts of memories of past lives passed by.
In a short while, Ye Chu's eyes had restored clarity.
No longer remember those old things.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Chu walked towards Mo Qinghan.
When Ye Chu got into the car, Mo Qinghan closed the door.
The rest of the subordinates all got into the car, and the car drove away.
The hidden guard who saw Mo Qinghan's car left immediately followed.
The car galloped all the way.
Ye Chu's line of sight always fell out of the window, and the scenery outside flashed by before disappearing.
The lights inside the car were heavy, dark and bright, and there was silence.
As the car drove through the long quiet street, the cold wind blew and hummed.
Mo Qinghan slowly raised his eyes, Ye Chu's profile was hidden in the shadow in the central rearview mirror.
His eyes touched, his expression moved slightly.
In a short while, Mo Qinghan turned his head away.
The car still drove forward quietly.
Mo Qinghan's eyes were pale, as usual.
After a while, Mo Qinghan's voice suddenly fell.
"arrive."
Ye Chu turned his head to look at him, the two eyes touching in the mirror.
Ye Chu looked away at Mo Qinghan's eyes.
She opened the car door by herself and got out of the car.
There is a house in front of it, in a remote location, close to the outskirts of Shanghai.
At this time, Wan Lai was silent, as if even the wind had stopped.
Mo Qinghan got out of the car and walked to Ye Chu's side.
All his men got out of the car and gathered behind Ye Chu.
Ye Chu was isolated and helpless, if she only relied on her alone, it would never be possible to escape safely from here.
The people placed by Dong Hongchang were mixed among his men, monitoring Mo Qinghan's actions.
Under Dong Hongchang's order, they secretly observed and reported Mo Qinghan's behavior to his superiors at any time.
Although those people were hiding well, Mo Qinghan had known their identities a long time ago.
Mo Qinghan always knew that Dong Hongchang was paying attention to him everywhere.
For a chess piece, no one will truly deliver trust.
Now, Mo Qinghan understands this truth better than anyone else.
Mo Qinghan stepped towards the house, and Ye Chu could only walk in with him.
The yard was empty and the cold wind was lonely.
The dark clouds dissipated, and the moonlight fell, but it became more gloomy.
"Just talk about it here."
Mo Qinghan said suddenly, and then stopped.
Ye Chu stood still and turned to Mo Qinghan.
Mo Qinghan glanced around and said faintly: "These words, everyone can listen."
Mo Qinghan's subordinates stood in the yard and surrounded the two of them.
Ye Chu's brows condensed, and she vaguely guessed what Mo Qinghan meant.
Mo Qinghan turned to look at Ye Chu: "Lu Huai is not in Shanghai now."
"Dong Hongchang sent me to arrest you."
Mo Qinghan's words not only exposed his relationship with Dong Hongchang, but also revealed the mission of his trip.
As soon as the three words Dong Hongchang came out, Dong Hongchang's spies instantly changed their expressions.
These things were all done in secret.
Moreover, Governor Dong clearly wanted to conceal this matter.
Mo Qinghan just told Ye Chu all.
What is his mind
The spy squinted his eyes to observe Mo Qinghan, and when he was about to go back, he immediately reported to Dong Hongchang.
Ye Chu's voice was as usual: "So that Committee Member Mo is Dong Hongchang's person?"
Mo Qinghan looked cold: "I directly obey Dong Hongchang and do things for him."
At this time, Ye Chu had completely understood Mo Qinghan's mind.
The last time Mo Qinghan learned the truth, he had a gap with Dong Hongchang in his heart.
And what Mo Qinghan did now was to express his attitude to Ye Chu.
He is not going to be with Dong Hongchang anymore, the two of them are about to part ways.
His position has changed.
Ye Chu's voice became a little heavy: "A few days ago, Dong Hongchang's stronghold in Shanghai was all taken."
"I wonder if Commissioner Mo knows about this?"
Ye Chu looked up, Mo Qinghan's eyes were dull and not bottomed out.
Mo Qinghan said coldly: "Naturally know."
Ye Chu said again: "So, is this the work of Committee Member Mo?"
Mo Qinghan's voice was calm: "Yes."
The mist cleared and the dust settled.
The night was extremely cold, and after Mo Qinghan's voice fell, it disappeared immediately.
The expressions of the two were indifferent, as if they had expected it a long time ago.
When the spies on the side heard this, his heart rolled violently.
It turned out that Mo Qinghan had a heart of rebellion and secretly cooperated with Lu Huai.
At this moment, Mo Qinghan suddenly turned around and walked towards the spy.
The spy was startled, his heart beating wildly.
Mo Qinghan walked to him and stood still: "You are Dong Hongchang's person."
Mo Qinghan's tone was affirmative, as if he had already recognized this matter.
He spoke slowly, his eyes gloomy: "You have heard all the words just now."
Killing intent suddenly appeared, and instantly climbed up to the back of the spy, chilling.
The spies immediately stated: "I will not tell Governor Dong."
If he didn't show weakness here, Mo Qinghan would never let him go.
Mo Qing laughed coldly, his laughter was extremely cold.
In the next second, Mo Qinghan's gun hit the spy's head.
He frowned slightly, his voice lacking any temperature.
"Dead people don't speak."
The trigger was pulled down, and the gunfire sounded abruptly.
The spies fell to the ground immediately.
Mo Qinghan quickly turned around, and then aimed his gun at the other person next to Ye Chu.
The man happened to take out the gun and wanted to kill Mo Qinghan.
Mo Qinghan didn't change his face and pulled the trigger again.
After a few shots, all the spies that Dong Hongchang planted were shot dead.
The gunfire stopped and the yard was calm again.
Except for Dong Hongchang's spies, the rest of his men obeyed Mo Qinghan.
They already knew about the decision Mo Qinghan had made.
Ye Chu was silent, with complex eyes.
Her eyes fell on Mo Qinghan.
Mo Qinghan stood against the light, with gloomy eyebrows and cold eyes.
Although their positions are the same, they can never become friends.
Both she and Lu Huai knew Mo Qinghan's temperament.
If Mo Qinghan discovered that his life was designed by Dong Hongchang.
Even if he loses the support of hatred, he will not die.
He will choose to burn both jade and stone, and lose both.
Mo Qinghan stood indifferently, his eyes penetrating the night: "You go."
A few seconds later, Mo Qinghan spoke again: "I will send someone to take you back."
Ye Chu refused: "No need."
After speaking, Ye Chu turned and walked out of the yard.
The people who had surrounded Ye Chu gave up a way to let Ye Chu leave.
Mo Qinghan looked at Ye Chu's back in silence.
The footsteps did not move half a minute.
Will they have the same position
But he has been wrong too much.
Irrecoverable.
The cold moonlight fell, shining the ground, but was blocked by the dark shadows of the trees.
A dark hole was cut out abruptly among them.
As if a boundary that can never be crossed.
When Ye Chu walked to the door, the secret guard had already arrived.
They knew Mo Qinghan's attitude, so they didn't do it.
The car stopped outside the house, and Ye Chu got into the car.
The night wind howled, the car went away, and the darkness gathered.
It was clear that it was early winter, but the temperature dropped drastically.
Mo Qinghan walked out of the house with an indifferent expression.
In the cool breeze into the night, the car drove away from here.
One after another, disappeared into the night.
