Chapter 959 You Need to Be Sensible
Mr. Fili's face instantly turned red. It was the first time he was threatened like this after being in China for so long.
It's not that complicated.
Minister Chu Minyi of the Nanjing Foreign Ministry wanted to discuss with the French Concession Municipal Council a bill to abolish the concession.
When Minister Chu first came to Shanghai, he did not visit the French Concession Municipal Council immediately. Instead, he wanted to use the influence of the Japanese in the International Settlement to get Britain and the United States to sign a bill to abolish the concession.
Who knows, this is just wishful thinking. Minister Everett and Sir Carl did not take Minister Chu from Nanjing seriously at all.
He said a lot of polite words, but that was just to ask him to wait, and there was no substantial progress at all.
In desperation, Minister Chu went to see Mr. Fili in the French Concession.
Philip was even worse than those two. He came several times but didn't even see them.
From January to mid-February, there was no progress in the case of reclaiming the concession.
Until today, Minister Chu went to the Municipal Council as instructed and requested to meet with Mr. Feili.
Just as he was sitting on the sofa at the door waiting, a young man wearing a black leather jacket and a beret on his head walked into the hall and shot him twice without saying a word.
One bullet hit him in the arm, and he dodged the other.
After the incident, the Peace and National Construction Army troops immediately entered the French Concession to search for the gunman.
At the same time, the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai also sent a team to the French Concession Municipal Council, citing the chaotic situation as an excuse to send troops into the French Concession to search for the murderer who assassinated Minister Chu.
I have to say, this move is so familiar.
I remember that during the September 18th Incident, the Japanese used this excuse to bombard Fengtian.
It's already the 31st year of the Republic of China, and they are still using this method to deal with the French.
But even if you know it's a trap, what can you do? It doesn't matter if the tricks are old, as long as they work.
At least several directors of the French Concession Municipal Council are now feeling very troubled.
A killer who came from nowhere entered the Municipal Council, shot the Foreign Minister twice and then fled.
They didn't even know where to find such a person, what his motives were, or to put it bluntly, whether this person was Japanese.
"Minister Chen, do you think there might be some misunderstanding here?" Fili's tone softened significantly.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is now basically in the hands of the Japanese. The reason why the French Concession and the International Settlement were not touched is because there is no reasonable excuse.
Today's assassination is problematic no matter how you look at it.
Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "Mr. Fili, you know that I am here on orders, and there is not much I can do."
"If you don't want to make things worse, you'd better find the killer as soon as possible."
"The Peaceful Nation Building Army has surrounded this place and I can only appease them for 24 hours."
"If it goes on any longer, there's nothing I can do..."
"Mr. Fili, I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Goodbye."
After he finished speaking, Chen Yang stood up and walked out of the Municipal Council.
When the soldiers at the door saw Chen Yang coming out, they all stood at attention and saluted him.
Chen Yang walked to the front of the car and said to Gao Song, the colonel brigade commander of the Peaceful National Construction Army, "Brigade Commander Gao, I'll leave this to you."
Gao Song saluted and said: "Please rest assured, I will complete the task."
Chen Yang nodded, sat sideways in the car, and told the driver, Takata Junxiao: "St. Maria Hospital."
You have to put on a full show. Minister Chu was assassinated. As a colleague from the same province, Chen Yang naturally has to show his concern.
I just don’t know how Minister Chu will react when he sees Chen Yang.
If we are smart and finish this scene together, maybe Minister Chu can even get some credit.
But if he doesn't know how to act, then I'm sorry, Minister Chu may be lying in the hospital bed today, and may have sunk to the bottom of the Huangpu River tomorrow.
French Concession, St. Maria Hospital.
After Chu Yimin was assassinated, he was immediately sent to Santa Maria Hospital.
The doctor was also frightened by their scene. A dozen burly men pushed the injured Chu Yimin in. At first glance, he thought he was seriously injured.
After examination, the doctor found that the man had been shot in the arm, and the assassin's shooting skills were obviously very poor.
It's not even a penetrating wound, just a minor abrasion. If you had brought it in slower, the wound would have started to scab over.
Even so, Chu Yimin was still screaming in pain and kept asking for anesthesia.
Of course the doctor wouldn't listen to him. He simply bandaged his wound and let them take the patient away.
But the leader of the group insisted that the doctor give Minister Chu a comprehensive examination.
He even said seriously: "Minister Chu was attacked by a gunman, which may leave a huge psychological shadow..."
I am very durable. If you are left with a trauma, you can go see a psychiatrist. How can you treat it in the hospital? Where can you get the medicine?
However, the doctor had no choice but to prescribe hospitalization for Minister Chu and arranged for a full-body examination.
When Chen Yang arrived at the hospital, Agent No. 76 had already surrounded the ward where Minister Chu was staying.
"Minister Chu, are you feeling well?" As soon as he entered the ward, Chen Yang asked with hypocritical concern.
Minister Chu on the hospital bed had calmed down from his previous panic.
At this moment, seeing Chen Yang appear, an indescribable look appeared on his face.
"Minister Chen, you're joking too much."
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Minister Chu has already thought clearly that the person who took action must be one of their own.
The two men were less than five meters apart when the other pulled out a gun and fired, almost in one go.
The first shot only grazed his arm, and the second shot flew past his scalp. How could a killer be so amateur?
If it's not too amateur, then it's too professional, and people's actions are aimed at hurting people rather than harming others.
"Minister Chu, have you been frightened? I don't understand what you mean." The puzzled look on Chen Yang's face didn't seem to be fake at all.
"Oh, maybe I was frightened just now, and my speech is a little incoherent." Minister Chu saw this and could only follow the other party's wishes.
Chen Yang nodded slightly: "I see, Minister Chu, just take a good rest here."
"I have ordered the pursuit of your assassin. He is so bold that he even dared to offend the Minister of Foreign Affairs."
"I have received instructions from Dean Chen regarding your work. Minister Bao will take over temporarily."
"Of course, you can rest assured. You have suffered injuries and shed blood for the government. If this case goes smoothly, the credit will really belong to you."
Minister Chu remained silent, wondering if this could be considered a case of giving someone a hard time before giving them another chance.
