"Du Haiguang, from now on, you will keep a firm eye on Chen Mingxiang's lover for me, if you encounter a suitable opportunity, immediately take action to arrest and interrogate secretly, I always feel uneasy if I don't find out the true face of this guy."

"You have to observe carefully during the arrest process to see if she has received professional training, Chen Mingxiang has personnel from the Military Control Bureau around him, which is no secret in the intelligence department, I suspect that it is this Wang Zhen, which is also in line with the way the Military Control Bureau does things, sacrificing beauty to control the target." Nariko Kojima said.

Although the Military Command Bureau is not as cruel as the Japanese intelligence agencies, and treats female special work as a tool that can be sacrificed at any time, except for the intelligence personnel of the underground party, the rest of the intelligence agencies, including the Central Command Bureau, have an obvious commonality, that is, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Beauty seduction is an important way to steal intelligence, Wang Zhen must be eligible, she and Chen Mingxiang get along day and night, it is very likely that she developed Chen Mingxiang into an agent of the Military Control Bureau, or she may be Chen Mingxiang's upline.

"Team leader, but the problem at the moment is that even if Wang Zhen is an agent of the Military Command Bureau lurking beside Chen Mingxiang, this situation is also acquiesced by the imperial army, and we moved her, which is equivalent to breaking this tacit understanding, and it will affect the cooperation between the Military Command Bureau and Chen Mingxiang, once the garrison headquarters investigates it, it is not a trivial matter!" Du Haiguang said.

"If Chen Mingxiang is a sleeper agent of the Military Command Bureau, then his destructive power is far greater than the benefits brought to the empire by Huatong Trading Company, this person's network within the Imperial Army is too complicated, it has reached a terrible level, I must eliminate this hidden danger."

"As long as you confirm her identity, you don't have to have any scruples, use any means to make her speak, and if you don't confess, you will be tortured until death. If she is willing to cooperate with us and identify Chen Mingxiang as a sleeper agent of the Military Command Bureau, and has some supporting evidence, then call me and I will come and interrogate me personally. Nariko Kojima said.

"What if Wang Zhen is an ordinary woman who doesn't know anything about Chen Mingxiang? What do we do? Du Haiguang asked.

"Since you have done it, there is no need to keep her, ask her what she knows, and then quickly dispose of the traces, and you will evacuate Shanghai as soon as possible." Nariko Kojima said.

Unbeknownst to this group, there was a car from the Operations Section of the station not far from the door, which was conducting round-the-clock surveillance, and Zhou Guojun's group was able to move unimpeded in Hongkou District with the help of a pass issued by the Marine Corps Command.

Chen Mingxiang returned to Shanghai on 10 October, and the businessmen of the two countries, who held the power to sell coal, were anxious like ants on a hot pot, and the briquettes from Jincheng Port had already been loaded onto the Shanghai market, and they really couldn't wait for the coal price war to begin.

"I received a telegram from Yoshiko Kawashima last night, and then in the corner of the backyard, I picked up a paper ball detailing Nariko Kojima's plan of action and the place of detention, and she had already ordered action against me." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

Now that she has the secrets of the other party's actions, she has nothing to worry about, just waiting for Chen Mingxiang to make a decision on how to respond, and then she can fish.

"From the café on Xiafei Road to the arrest, into the east into Zhongshan Road, then to Yangshupu Road, and finally to the Mosque East Hutong No. 7, but you have figured out your habits."

"This point is also very interesting, a further east intersection, that is the location of the gendarmerie headquarters, the gendarmerie can arrive in three minutes by car at most, this is for fear that you will be in danger, and then I will retaliate." Chen Mingxiang looked at the content and said with a smile.

"When are you going to act?" Wang Zhen asked.

"Inform Yoshiko Kawashima that the noon operation on the 13th, I will let everyone see, what is called hand and eye to the sky, and when the time comes, I will use the military police, marines, police, agents and security teams to turn the entire Shanghai market upside down, not only to deter Kojima Nariko, but also to deter those coal merchants."

"I would also like to invite General Shiozawa Kiyonobu of the North China Liaison Department of the Koya Academy, and Major General Otozaburo Yano of the North China Dispatch Gendarmerie Headquarters to also come to watch the ceremony, they are all beneficiaries of this chain of interests, it is best to arrive on the morning of the 13th, and send an invitation to Yoshiko Kawashima by the way, secretly." Chen Mingxiang said.

He wears many hats, usually only part-time, but when it comes to the need, no one will refute his face, and it is conceivable that the scene will be very spectacular.

After lunch, Chen Mingxiang slept at home for a while before rushing to the Bank of China, where the representatives of the coal merchants were already waiting for him.

President Hirano of Japan's Dahu Gas Company, President Yamashita of Yamashita Mining Co., Ltd., President Noguchi of East Asia Mining Co., Ltd., Boss Zheng of Nanyang United Coal, Boss Zhang of Yitai Xinglian Coal and Boss Zhao of Guohua United Coal are a total of six people, representing 12 Japanese businessmen and 22 Chinese businessmen.

"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting, please taste the Longjing tea I brought from Hangzhou, this is the best, it's rare to drink." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"I have heard of Chen Jun's name for a long time, and your Excellency's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the scope is getting wider and wider, but I didn't expect us to become peers." President Hirano said with a smile.

The entire coal sales in the Shanghai market are all in the hands of these 34 companies, and no one else is allowed to interfere, and a monopoly pattern has been formed.

"I didn't want to do coal business, it's not a little money, but you know in your own hearts that I can't help myself, if you honestly follow the instructions of the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Academy, how can I still have my share?" Chen Mingxiang held his purple sand cup and said slowly.

"The purpose of doing business is to make money, since Chen Jun has come in, everyone will eat in a pot in the future, you might as well open the skylight and say something bright, and strive to reach an agreement." Boss Zhang said.

Chen Mingxiang is telling the truth, without the support of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, he would not have had access to these resources, in other words, they forced him to enter the coal sales market.

However, at this point, it is impossible to get Chen Mingxiang to withdraw from the market, because people have their own channels for production, transportation and sales, and they are not afraid of interception at all.

"Very simply, in the future, the price of coal in Shanghai will be regulated by the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and you must cooperate unconditionally, in order to safeguard the interests of the Japanese Empire in Shanghai, before New Year's Day, it shall not be higher than 25 pieces of coal balls per quinquette, and the share of briquette sales in the public concession will be allocated to my Yuchang Coal Company, which is also to prevent you from changing your mind and the coal price from fluctuating again." Chen Mingxiang said.

"How is this possible! The public concession has a population of 1,586,000 people, and it is the largest market for briquettes, and you are driving us to a dead end! Also, the market price is 30 yuan per quintal of storage coupons, and you actually want 25 yuan, which is unacceptable to us! President Yamashita jumped suddenly.
