Pentagon, city hall building.

In the mayor's office, Mayor Yu Hongjun was dressed in a formal suit and was about to travel, and the secretary helped him pack his bags and documents in the office area behind him.

At this time, Wang Huming, the captain of the military police, walked in from outside and said to Yu Hongjun: "Commander Yu, the car and the guards have been arranged, you can go." ”

Yu Hongjun sorted out his tunic and nodded: "Okay, let's go, Captain Wang, you can also accompany you." ”

Wang Huming nodded yes, Yu Hongjun stepped out of the office, and Wang Huming and the secretary followed closely behind.

In the backyard of the city government building, two black American Ford sedans were ready, and several armed gendarmerie members were waiting next to the cars.

According to Yu Hongjun's orders, Wang Huming and all the members of the gendarmerie changed into civilian clothes.

Seeing the arrival of Yu Hongjun and his entourage, several gendarmes straightened up one after another, and Wang Huming waved his hand and instructed the gendarmes: "You have a car, and Mayor Yu and I have a car." ”

"Yes." A small leader of the gendarme, led by the leader, answered, and immediately retreated to the car behind.

Wang Huming opened the car door for Yu Hongjun, and only closed the car door after Yu Hongjun entered, the secretary got into the car from the other side and sat in the front co-pilot, while Wang Huming walked to the main driver's seat and opened the car door and sat in.

Wang Huming personally drove out of the backyard of the municipal government building, drove into Nanjing Road, and drove towards the French Concession.

On the way, Yu Hongjun asked: "Is the investigation of the attack on the gendarme clear?" ”

Wang Huming replied while driving: "The two guys who were killed by Lin Rui, one is a Japanese ronin, the other is an unemployed gangster, the former has been in Shanghai for more than three years, and the latter is a local ruffian in Shanghai, and there is only one old lady in the family.

It was preliminarily judged that this attack should have been secretly planned by Japanese spies, and its purpose was to create chaos and intensify the contradictions between the Chinese government and the people. ”

Yu Hongjun snorted coldly: "I also expected a long time ago that it might be the Japanese who were behind the scenes, they had already made a move in Beiping, and Shanghai would naturally not live in peace." ”

Wang Huming put his hands on the steering wheel and said, "Mayor, since the Japanese have blatantly invaded North China, why don't we do it yet?" As long as we strike first, we will be able to drive all of them into the Huangpu River to feed the fish. ”

Yu Hongjun scolded with a serious face: "Captain Wang, your duty is to maintain law and order in Shanghai, military and political affairs, you shouldn't be careful, just do your own job." ”

Wang Huming was obviously a little unconvinced, but he could only answer yes sullenly, and then continued to drive.

The co-pilot's secretary turned back to Yu Hongjun and said, "Mayor, the humble position is unknown, why do you have to go to the hospital to visit Lin Rui in person?" ”

It turned out that Yu Hongjun was going to visit Lin Rui in the hospital today, but in order to avoid attracting too much attention and causing unnecessary trouble, he traveled lightly, and even the guards escorted him were dressed in plain clothes.

Wang Huming was also quite puzzled, and secretly looked at Yu Hongjun from the inner rearview mirror.

Yu Hongjun helped his glasses and said, "Lin Rui, a young hero, took action to save the students and Captain Wang, but was accidentally injured by our gendarmerie police and almost died!" As the mayor of Shanghai, my senior at St. John's University should have come to visit. ”

Both the secretary and Yu Hongjun were skeptical, and it was obvious that Yu Hongjun's statement was unconvincing.

At that time, Shanghai was a real political, cultural and economic center, known as the largest metropolis in the Far East, and its political and international status was extremely high, even the Japanese capital Tokyo could not be compared.

No matter what, you won't take the initiative to visit a mere Lin Rui, right? What's more, in the chaotic situation when the war in the north has broken out and the national disaster is at hand, he should have too many more important things to do than visiting Lin Rui.

Is it because he is the son of the Lin family? The secretary and Wang Huming both knew Lin Rui's family background.

Yu Hongjun probably saw the doubts of the two, so he took the initiative to speak: "The Lugou Bridge Incident has broken out, and war may be inevitable, in order to preserve our industrial base in coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the government has decided to relocate all the factories located in Shanghai and surrounding areas.

This is an extremely large and cumbersome task, which may not be accomplished by the government alone, so it is necessary to rely on the power of the private business community.

The Lin family is the richest man in South China, and one of the most invisible riches in Shanghai, and we need to use the power of the Lin family to help us move the factory inside.

These factories are our national industrial base, and they are very important to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and even the whole country.

According to the news I received, Lin Rui's father, Lin Tian, will arrive in Shanghai with his wife today to visit Lin Rui, do you understand what I said? ”

Wang Huming and the secretary suddenly realized after hearing this, and nodded one after another, and Wang Huming said excitedly: "Mayor, so the government plans to go to war with the Japanese?" ”

Yu Hongjun said in a deep voice: "Now it is not a question of whether we want to go to war with the Japanese, but the Japanese have forced us to fight, so now you must fully cooperate with me to do a good job of relocating the factories and other important industries in this area of Shanghai."

Only when we safely transfer these national industries and property will our army be able to fight the aggressor without any worries.

The government has never given up on resisting Japan, let alone ignoring the interests of the country, but because there are too many concerns to be needed, it is difficult to take care of the overall situation, and you must understand more. ”

"Yes." Wang Huming was in a good mood when he heard this, and happily agreed.

Yu Hongjun nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and said no more.

After Lin Tian and his wife arrived at the Shanghai Railway Station, they were picked up by Lin Lan, Lin Feng and others, and then took a car straight to the hospital where Lin Rui was, and met Yu Hongjun and Wang Huming in their cars outside the hospital.

After getting out of the car, Yu Hongjun saw Lin Tian and his wife, and immediately took the lead quickly.

"Mr. Lin stays." Yu Hongjun saw that after Lin Tian and his wife got out of the car, they were about to walk to the hospital, but they didn't notice themselves, so they hurriedly shouted.

Lin Tian was concerned about his son's safety, and was in a hurry to enter the hospital to see Lin Rui, how could he still have leisure to care.

Hearing someone shouting to himself, he immediately stopped and turned to look at Yu Hongjun, obviously a little surprised: "Mayor Yu? Why are you here? ”

Yu Hongjun walked over quickly with a smile on his face, took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Tian and said: "Mr. Lin, farewell to Nanjing, I haven't seen each other for a long time, Mr. Lin has been doing well recently!" ”

Lin Tian shook hands with him, barely smiled and nodded, "It's all good, it's all good." ”

Then he asked, "Why did Mayor Yu come here?" ”

"Lin Ruixian's nephew was accidentally injured and hospitalized by my gendarmerie police in order to save patriotic students, I should have come to visit earlier, but I was busy with business, and I didn't make time until today, I never thought that I would meet Mr. Lin." Yu Hongjun said with a guilty face.

"Mayor Yu has a heart, this is not a place to talk, let's go in and see the dog first." Lin Tian knew it in his heart, and he didn't break it, and stretched out his hand to invite.

And at this moment, the muzzle of a black hole poked out from an alley not far from them, and quietly aimed at Yu Hongjun.
