Chapter 345 [Wind Chaser 44]
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything was silent. Wei Ruolai carefully sneaked into the exchange, looking for an important list of large transactions. At the same time, Shen Jinzhen also came here stealthily, and his purpose was exactly the same as Wei Ruolai's!
The two met unexpectedly, but they did not panic. Instead, they tacitly chose to act separately. Not long after, they successfully found the key transaction list.
Just as they were about to leave quietly, suddenly, Yu Zhiying led a group of people and rushed in, and without saying a word, they began to burn the remaining transaction lists. Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen were startled by this sudden change, but they reacted quickly, immediately picked up the list they had obtained, and turned around to flee the scene.
After returning to their residence, Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen immediately began to sort out the stolen information. However, Niu Chunmiao knew nothing about it and could only worry about it. So she simply went to bed, leaving Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen to continue working hard.
Time passed by minute by minute. Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen stayed up all night until dawn, when they finally finished sorting out the settlement list. Looking at this hard-won achievement, Shen Jinzhen was very excited. He planned to make the evidence public so that everyone would know the truth. However, Wei Ruolai had a different idea. He thought that he should give it to Shen Tunan and let him decide how to deal with it.
After careful consideration, Shen Tunan and You You decided to act according to the previously formulated plan. As for the truth of the matter, it will also be announced, but it cannot be done openly. After all, they are still members of the Kuomintang, so this matter can only be carried out in secret.
So, in front of everyone, Shen Tunan stood up and solemnly announced: "The real mastermind behind this construction bond incident is actually the Japanese Shinichi Fukuda! And the top government officials were not involved." His voice was loud and firm, shocking everyone present.
Then, Shen Tunan looked around, his eyes fell on everyone, and reminded: "We must maintain a consistent tone and direct the public's attention to the outside. Only in this way can we avoid further intensification of internal conflicts and jointly deal with the current crisis."
Now that the bait has been spread, I have made my position clear. Even if something happens, I will not be implicated too deeply, and the higher-ups will not suspect anything.
After the meeting, Wei Ruolai carefully handed the settlement list he had compiled after staying up all night to Shen Tunan, and revealed to him in a low voice: "There is a shocking secret hidden in this list! After my in-depth investigation and analysis, I finally revealed the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes - they are Yu Shiqing, Zhang Mingquan, Kang Shaojie and others! They are the ones who did it behind the scenes."
Wei Ruolai's tone was full of determination and a sense of justice, and he seemed to be very confident in the intelligence he had. His sharp eyes stared at Shen Tunan, as if he was expecting him to take action and jointly expose the crimes of these people. Shen Tunan took the list and looked through it carefully. His brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became more serious, but he was secretly happy in his heart: Well, you are worthy of being my apprentice, you did a great job, but you were a little reckless. How could you just bring this kind of thing to me?
So, Shen Tunan said, "If you come, you are no longer a member of our central bank, and I have already said that this matter was done by the Japanese."
Wei Ruolai said, "Impossible, sir, it was obviously Yu Shiqing and his men who did it."
"No matter what, I've made it clear. Okay, you can go now." Shen Tunan said.
Wei Ruolai continued, "I just want to give the public a fair truth, not this distorted fact."
So, Shen Tunan started quarreling with Wei Ruolai. In desperation, Shen Tunan directly expelled Wei Ruolai from the sect. Wei Ruolai was so angry that he had to leave. After all, he no longer had a position.
Afterwards, Shen Tunan went to ask Youyou what to do next. Youyou said that someone would take action and they just had to wait.
……
On the other hand, Shen Jinzhen did not hesitate to tell Xu Nuo about this matter. Xu Nuo felt extremely disgusted and hated the shameless behavior of the Kuomintang government. He decided to make the settlement list compiled by Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen public so that the general public could thoroughly recognize the true face of the Nanjing government. So Xu Nuo went to find the editor-in-chief of the newspaper overnight in a panic.
However, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper was worried that the Nanjing government would take action to close down the newspaper. After careful consideration, the editor-in-chief came up with a brilliant idea: hold a grand press conference and invite hundreds of media to participate in the exposure.
At this time, Wei Ruo came to Xu Nuo on his own initiative to seek help, saying that he hoped to expose through the media the collusion between the Nanjing government and Shanghai wealthy businessmen to maliciously short the construction bonds to make huge profits, with a total amount of up to 15 million! Xu Nuo found all kinds of excuses to shirk. Seeing this, Wei Ruo prepared to go to the newspaper office to expose the truth in person. Xu Nuo hurriedly stopped him and then revealed his entire plan.
After hearing this, Wei Ruolai immediately drafted a detailed plan. Xu Nuo praised Wei Ruolai's performance and believed that he was a promising person with revolutionary spirit.
Wei Ruolai rushed to the printing factory without stopping, and under the cover of night, he quietly printed a large number of leaflets. These leaflets were like torches, igniting the passion and determination deep in his heart. He wanted to use these leaflets to awaken the people and let more people know the truth of the matter.
At the same time, Xu Nuo was also actively taking action. He wrote letters to major media outlets in Shanghai, earnestly inviting them to attend this crucial press conference. Xu Nuo knew the power of the media and believed that through media reports, more people would pay attention to this matter.
On the other hand, after Lin Qiaosong learned about this, he secretly thought about it. He called Wen Biao and asked him to seek help from the Axe Gang to suppress the possible chaos.
Wei Ruolai and Niu Chunmiao came to Awen's grave, laid flowers, and silently paid tribute to their deceased friend. Afterwards, they ran to the press conference site without hesitation, with a sense of mission in their hearts.
When the press conference was about to begin, reporters and the public came one after another, and the atmosphere was heated and tense. However, no one noticed that Wen Biao was leading the Axe Gang to ambush in secret, waiting for orders.
At this time, the truth about the construction treasury bonds was broadcast from the loudspeaker. Wen Biao saw this and immediately led his men to search everywhere. Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen hid quietly on the side and watched everything. They cleverly tied boxes of newspapers to a large group of balloons and then released them. As the balloons rose into the air, the boxes broke and the leaflets inside fell like snowflakes and scattered on the ground. People scrambled to read these leaflets, and for a while, the scene became very chaotic.
Lin Qiaosong personally went to investigate with his staff, and major newspapers also sent people to the streets to distribute newspapers to the public. They published the truth about the construction treasury bond scam on the front page, which caused a huge response from the public and caused an uproar in public opinion.
Wei Ruolai and Niu Chunmiao came to Awen's grave holding newspapers. They stood there silently and placed the newspapers in front of the tombstone, as if telling Awen the belated truth to comfort his soul. Wei Ruolai secretly vowed in his heart that he must see with his own eyes the mastermind behind the scenes get the punishment he deserves.
At the same time, the general public took to the streets to hold demonstrations. They were emotional and strongly demanded that the government severely punish the mastermind behind the incident and give justice to the victims.
Lin Qiaosong brought a group of people to the scene and tried to threaten and intimidate the marching crowd, but these people did not succumb to the tyranny. Instead, they united as one and vowed to defend their rights to the death.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Yu Zhiying ordered the police to suppress the demonstrators. The police beat and kicked these unarmed people mercilessly, and the scene was very chaotic for a while. However, despite the violence, the people's resistance did not stop.
After Kang Shaojie learned about the situation, he immediately sent people to close down several newspapers, hoping to suppress the voices of the people. However, it turned out that this move did not have the desired effect, and the anger of the people became increasingly high.
After learning what happened, Yu Shiqing called Kang Shaojie and ordered him to take tough measures against the troublemakers, and to kill them if necessary. Faced with such a tense situation, Kang Shaojie was caught in a dilemma...
