Chapter 2036 No. 9, Ma Sinan Road
The subordinate walked up to Meng Dajun and whispered a name in his ear.
"Are you sure there's no mistake?" Meng Dajun asked, his expression changing.
“Third Brother, there’s absolutely no mistake,” the subordinate assured him. “We took the driver’s photo to the neighbors and confirmed that it’s him.”
"You can go down now." Meng Dajun waved his hand.
"Third Brother, what's wrong?" Zou Hongyi asked hurriedly.
“The person should be at No. 9, Ma Sinan Road,” Meng Dajun said.
"Third Brother, you mean that the driver is..." Zou Hongyi was also very surprised and couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Meng Dajun nod, Zou Hongyi frowned. "Third Brother, this is a bit difficult."
"Yes, it's difficult." Meng Dajun nodded.
"Third Brother, this matter is not easy to handle." Zou Hongyi thought for a moment and advised Meng Dajun, "Third Brother, what kind of woman can't you have? Why don't we just let it go?"
“It can’t be counted! We absolutely can’t just let it go like this!” Meng Dajun immediately shook his head and said.
It would have been better if Zou Hongyi hadn't brought it up; his words reignited Meng Dajun's longing for Feng Man.
He felt he would rather be dead than live if he didn't get his hands on Feng Man.
……
“Hongyi,” Meng Dajun said.
"Third Brother, what are your orders?" Zou Hongyi said quickly.
“Feng Man was not only the wife of Dong Zhengguo, a Chongqing native, but she was also an underground party member planted by the Red Party around Dong Zhengguo,” Meng Dajun said.
"Third Brother, I don't understand." Zou Hongyi said, his eyes wide, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
“Do as I say, I need to see evidence,” Meng Dajun said.
"What Third Brother means is..." Zou Hongyi understood a little, then he thought for a moment and said, "Third Brother, evidence is hard to come by in a short time, but witnesses can be arranged at any time."
"You're smart enough, kid. Having witnesses is enough." Meng Dajun nodded in satisfaction.
Then, gritting his teeth, he said, "I'm going to arrest underground members of the Red Party. Let's see who dares to stop me."
……
No. 9, Ma Si Nan Road.
Looking at Feng Man, whose eyes were red from crying, Ye Xiaoqing sighed and said, "They are all unfortunate people who have lost their husbands."
“Sister Qing.” Feng Man wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, “Zheng Guo is definitely not a Chongqing member. He was loyal to the director. When Zheng Guo was alive, the words he said most often were, ‘I am grateful for the director’s kindness. I can only repay him with my life.’”
“I know, I know,” Ye Xiaoqing said, her eyes also reddening. “Section Chief Dong is a good man, and he is extremely loyal to Cuiqun. How could he possibly have a problem?”
“When the director was around, absolutely no one would have dared to harm him like this.” Feng Man’s tears fell again. “He’s just too stubborn.”
As he spoke, Feng Man looked at Ye Xiaoqing and said, "Sister Qing, it's not that I'm afraid of death. If I were afraid of death, I would have secretly left Shanghai. I want to stay in Shanghai. Zheng Guo is gone, and I want to collect his body and let him rest in peace."
As she spoke, Feng Man became increasingly distressed, and suddenly burst into tears, crying very miserably.
“That’s right, that’s right. Section Chief Dong is lucky to have a wife like you.” Ye Xiaoqing wiped away her tears, nodded and said, “Don’t worry, you don’t need to leave Shanghai. With Sister Qing here, no one can touch you.”
Just then, the driver, He Hanpeng, came in.
……
"Sister Qing, Meng Dajun from the interrogation department is leading a search party everywhere," He Hanpeng said. "Meng Dajun even personally led a search party for Section Chief Dong's house."
He paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Sister Qing, Meng Dajun's people should be able to find out about us here very soon."
"Let him investigate. So what if he finds out here!" Ye Xiaoqing sneered. "I want to see who dares to cause trouble at No. 9, Ma Sinan Road!"
She spoke with conviction, for her husband, Li Cuiqun, was dead, and neither the Japanese nor those in Nanjing would allow her, a widow, to suffer any harm.
Previously, when Wang Tianhai presented her with a banner, she threw it on the ground and stomped on it twice, and then angrily berated him. Under such circumstances, the fact that Wang Tianhai's mean and arrogant wife did not make a fuss shows the protective nature of her current special status.
"Sister Qing, maybe I shouldn't trouble you any further," Feng Man said, standing up.
"What are you saying?" Ye Xiaoqing grabbed Feng Man's arm. "We're right here. You're not going anywhere."
As she spoke, she turned to He Hanpeng and said, "You go and keep watch at the door yourself. I want to see if some people are really trying to wipe out us poor women who have lost our husbands!"
"Understood!" He Hanpeng nodded. He knew that based on Ye Xiaoqing's few words, no one in Shanghai would dare to make a move against these two women, and even the Japanese would be wary.
……
After He Hanpeng left, a young maid in her early twenties came over.
“Madam,” He Rui said.
"Besides Meng Dajun, who else went to the Dong family?" Ye Xiaoqing asked.
"Director Cheng Qianfan of the Special Police Department also went to the Dong family. He asked Meng Dajun for the person," He Rui said. "A standoff ensued, and Director Cheng finally demanded that Meng Dajun hand over Mrs. Dong within three hours."
Ye Xiaoqing looked at Feng Man and said, "Xiao Man, it seems that this 'Young Master Cheng' still has feelings for you."
"Sister Qing." Feng Man's expression changed, and she quickly said, "I absolutely didn't..."
"I know, I know, you're a good woman." Ye Xiaoqing patted Feng Man's hand and apologized to her, "It was my fault for saying such things."
She sighed and said, "We women, being beautiful is our original sin."
Feng Man wept silently.
"Xiao Man," Ye Xiaoqing said, "you really haven't thought about it?"
"What have you been thinking about?" Feng Man asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you think about revenge?" Ye Xiaoqing said, staring into Feng Man's eyes as she spoke.
Feng Man didn't speak, but her fists clenched unconsciously, and her gaze became more resolute and ruthless.
……
"Alright, I understand." Ye Xiaoqing patted Feng Man's hand again. "I understand, I understand everything. Section Chief Dong is lucky to have you."
Just then, a commotion arose at the courtyard gate.
Then came a series of hurried footsteps.
When Ye Xiaoqing saw He Hanpeng walking over in a hurry, her face darkened.
……
“Sister Qing,” He Hanpeng said, “it was Meng Dajun who led his men to block the door. He wants you to hand over Mrs. Dong.”
"Hand him over?" Ye Xiaoqing sneered. "How dare Meng Dajun!"
“Meng Dajun said that Mrs. Dong was a member of the underground Communist Party,” He Hanpeng said hurriedly.
Ye Xiaoqing was shocked upon hearing this and subconsciously looked at Feng Man, only to see that Feng Man also had an expression full of disbelief mixed with anger.
“Meng Dajun said that Mrs. Dong was a member of the underground Communist Party who was ordered to infiltrate Section Chief Dong’s inner circle,” He Hanpeng said. “She also said, she also said…”
"What else is there to say?" Feng Man asked through gritted teeth.
"They also said that those Red Party members in the Independent Investigation Department were all secretly recruited by Mrs. Dong," He Hanpeng said. "They also said that one of the Red Party members is Mrs. Dong's real husband."
"Bad seed!" Feng Man suddenly stood up. She almost fainted because she was too emotional, and Ye Xiaoqing quickly supported her.
"Sister Qing, I... I never imagined that some people could be so shameless." Feng Man's eyes were filled with tears, and she gritted her teeth. "These people are simply ugly and shameless to the extreme."
"I know, I know." Ye Xiaoqing saw Feng Man trembling with anger and advised, "It's just a frame-up, don't take it to heart."
As she spoke, Ye Xiaoqing sneered, "I underestimated Meng Dajun; he actually came up with such a clumsy excuse."
She said coldly, "A bug by Wan Haiyang's side has actually become a spirit."
……
“Sister Qing, Meng Dajun also said that if we don’t hand over the person, we shouldn’t blame him for offending us,” He Hanpeng said.
"I want to see how he's going to bully this widow." Ye Xiaoqing's eyes were filled with hatred.
She said to He Hanpeng, "Set up the machine gun. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just shoot them!"
“Sister Qing, this…” He Hanpeng hesitated.
“That’s an order!” Ye Xiaoqing said coldly.
"Understood!" He Hanpeng shouted, his tone tinged with excitement.
After Li Cuiqun's death, his true confidants lived in constant fear and felt incredibly aggrieved.
Take Meng Dajun for example. When Li Cuiqun was in power, Meng Dajun was nothing. He couldn't even get through the gate of No. 9 Ma Sinan Road. Now he dares to bully us!
Fortunately, Ye Xiaoqing was tough enough, and now she can finally vent her anger.
……
"What did Sister Qing say?" Meng Dajun looked at He Hanpeng who had walked back and said, "I told you long ago that Sister Qing is the most sensible and knows when to advance and retreat. See, it's good that she handed him over to someone sooner."
“Sister Qing said,” He Hanpeng said coldly to Meng Dajun, “that Mrs. Dong is a meritorious official of the Party and the country, and a good friend of hers. Sister Qing invited Mrs. Dong to her home as a guest, and no one is allowed to disturb her.”
"Didn't you make it clear that Feng Man was a member of the underground Communist Party?" Meng Dajun questioned with a gloomy face.
"Sister Qing said there couldn't possibly be any underground party members at No. 9 Ma Sinan Road!" He Hanpeng said. "Deputy Director Meng had better figure things out before coming. People can be confused, but you can't be confused when it comes to doing things!"
"He Hanpeng!" Meng Dajun's eyes were filled with anger as he stared at He Hanpeng and said, "You'd better know your place—"
He lowered his voice and said, "Li Cuiqun is dead. You are now like phoenixes with their feathers fallen. Don't force me to kill you!"
"Come on!" He Hanpeng said coldly, his face also grim. Then he waved his hand, "Sister Qing said that anyone who dares to act recklessly will be killed without mercy!"
Meng Dajun saw that as He Hanpeng waved his hand, more than a dozen bodyguards with short guns rushed up from behind the courtyard gate.
Most importantly, on the second-floor balcony, there were two Type 96 light machine guns and a Czech-made light machine gun mounted, glaring menacingly at them.
……
"He Hanpeng, are you trying to violently obstruct the Special Agent Headquarters from arresting underground Communist Party members?" Meng Dajun shouted angrily. "Or are you saying that No. 9 Ma Sinan Road is a Communist Party hideout?"
"Meng Dajun, shut up!" He Hanpeng shouted. "Look carefully where you are!"
"Sister Qing said that if there are underground Communist Party members at No. 9 Ma Si Nan Road, then there must be underground Communist Party members everywhere in the Executive Yuan office," He Hanpeng said coldly, pointing at Meng Dajun.
With that, he turned and left, not forgetting to shout the order, "Everyone prepare! If there is any unusual movement, fire at will!"
"understand!"
……
"Third Brother," Zou Hongyi said in a low voice, standing next to Meng Dajun, "Judging from this, these bastards really dare to fire."
"What are you afraid of? Is that a fire poker in your hand?" Meng Dajun cursed.
"Third Brother, think it over, think it over!" Zou Hongyi, his forehead covered in sweat, hurriedly advised, "It's different here, it's different."
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Director Li died under mysterious circumstances. At a time like this, nothing can happen at No. 9 Ma Sinan Road."
"Number 9, Ma Sinan Road!" Meng Dajun said through gritted teeth. He glared fiercely at the gate, then looked at the light machine gun muzzle on the second-floor balcony, and snorted coldly, "Withdraw!"
……
"Sister Qing, Meng Dajun's men have withdrawn," He Hanpeng reported to Ye Xiaoqing. "However, we discovered that he secretly arranged for spies to watch this place at the street corner."
"A petty trick," Ye Xiaoqing sneered.
She said to Feng Man, "Xiao Man, you'll have to bear with it for two days. Just stay at home and don't go anywhere. You'll be fine in two days."
"I'll listen to Sister Qing," Feng Man nodded obediently.
……
76 Jesfield Road.
"Bastard!" Wan Haiyang's face was terribly gloomy. He pointed at Meng Dajun's nose and cursed, "Who told you to go to No. 9 Ma Sinan Road to arrest people? Who gave you the guts to go there and arrest people?!"
"Chief," Meng Dajun hurriedly explained, "I was on my way to arrest underground members of the Red Party; it was my duty. I didn't expect that Ye Xiaoqing to be so ungrateful..."
"Ye Xiaoqing, Ye Xiaoqing!" Wan Haiyang shouted angrily, "How dare you name her?"
He grew angrier as he spoke, and kicked Meng Dajun to the ground. "Do you think that just because Li Cuiqun is dead, you can bully Ye Xiaoqing, a widow, at will?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Meng Dajun hurriedly said. "I was in a hurry to arrest underground members of the Red Party, and I didn't have time to think about anything else."
"An underground member of the Red Party?" Wan Haiyang looked Meng Dajun up and down. "Feng Man is an underground member of the Communist Party?"
“Yes, Director.” Meng Dajun nodded and said, “Feng Man is an underground member of the Red Party who infiltrated Dong Zhengguo’s inner circle. Not only that, but it has also been found that several Red Party members in the Independent Investigation Section were developed by Feng Man. One of them is actually Feng Man’s husband.”
"Damn it!" Wan Haiyang pointed at Meng Dajun's nose and cursed, "Damn it, do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, no," Meng Dajun quickly replied. "Director is wise and capable."
"Don't think I can't see through your little schemes!" Wan Haiyang sneered. "You're just a woman, can't you be a little more dignified?"
……
Meng Dajun lowered his head, not daring to speak, and even less willing to say that he had no intention of making a move on Feng Man.
Just then, several cars could be seen parked in front of No. 76 Jessfield Road from the window.
The rear window of one of the cars rolled down, revealing a face.
Wan Haiyang frowned. "What's he doing here?"
