Chapter 42 List
"It's a disaster to stay in my hands. What's it in your hands?" Since I couldn't fool you, Xiao Liu no longer wasted his expression and admitted directly.
"You don't have to worry about this anymore. I'll leave when I get the things. You continue to live your little life, and no one will come to you again because of this."
"No, only Japanese people know about the list. How do you know? You came to me to ask for the list, you... you actually did things for the Japanese people, and you became a traitor?" Xiao Liu said unbelievably.
Although she has not liked this senior brother since she was a child, Ma San was taught by her father after all, and there has never been any problem with her character.
In the inheritance of national martial arts, the most important thing for masters to choose disciples is character. Ma San is the successor of her father's mansion. From childhood to adulthood, I have gone through so many tests and teachings, but now I have become a traitor?
"Traitors? It depends on what it means. Doing things for aliens is a traitor. So were the obedient people in the Qing Dynasty all traitors? According to you, forty million people were born to be traitors." Ma San said indifferently.
"You, you... are you quibbling. Do you deserve my father's teachings to you?" Xiao Liu said anxiously.
"The old man is old and cannot understand many things. Of course, he has to find the biggest one to find. You don't think about it. If I don't rely on Japanese people, gossip, and thousands of disciples from Xingyi sects can be saved? How can the Gong family's family business in the Northeast? Everyone understands this matter. The disciples below know that the master above knows that the master above is just hiding it from the old man. The old man loves reputation, so I will bear the bad reputation." Ma San said with confidence.
Seeing Ma San's unsatisfied and proud behavior, Xiao Liu thought of his father far away in the Northeast. If he saw this scene, he didn't know what to think, and said with a wry smile: "Things in this world are really funny. The Gong family cannot have actors, but the great disciple of Xingyi Sect took the lead in being a traitor. In the past, he always felt that life was like a play, but he didn't expect that the things in this world were much more absurd and ridiculous than those performed in plays."
"Things in the world are indeed absurd and impermanent. Watanabe is the top intelligence officer in the Great Japanese Empire. This list is so important that he can't let you know. If it weren't for the others involved in this matter, almost no one would have thought of you." Ma San said.
"He really wanted to hide it from me, but I lived in that small secret room for three years, so bored that I was going crazy. I could see a small pattern on the floor for a whole day. No matter how secret he was, what secrets could he have to hide from a boring madman?" Xiao Liu smiled with a self-deprecating smile.
"I know you suffered a lot in the past few years, so you should cherish the peaceful life you are now even more aware of. You don't want to have a good life now destroyed. It will be good for everyone to hand over the list."
"I can't hand over it anymore, I'll burn that list long ago."
"Burn? It's impossible. How could you burn such an important thing?" Ma San said suspiciously.
"I just burn it when I know it is important. The more I pay attention to Watanabe, the more I want to burn it." Xiaoliu said with hatred.
"It's really burning?" Ma San asked again.
Ma San recalled the situation he learned in the past few days. He learned from the bribed Green Gang Mabos that they immediately searched the secret room and found the secret wall, but it was empty inside and there was nothing.
When the two women were arrested, they also searched for their bodies, and there were no documents on them.
Before the Qing Gang, there were only three people who had entered the secret room except Watanabe and not two women. Could it be that the one with the surname Sha was taken away?
However, with Shalifei's personality in the information, it has long been known to everyone in the world.
Moreover, from the brief contact before, Ma San also confirmed that Shalifei was a gangster in the world. He had seen so many such people, and he could not hide anything in his heart.
So, it really burned?
"Of course it's burned, not burned. Do you want to leave it to you traitors and traitors to ask for credit and reward from the Japanese master?"
"No, you must have read the list. You have finished the content above before, right? It must be like that. You have become smarter and know that you can't save it, so you keep it in your mind. It's just a list. Excluding specific details, you only need to remember dozens of names, and they are all well-known figures in Shanghai. It's very simple for you."
Ma San became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up and leaned over, grabbed Xiaoliu's wrist and said anxiously:
"Tell me the name you wrote down. I know you can't let go of the Gong family. I always want to go back, right? You know what I have in the old man's heart. As long as you tell me the list, I will definitely help you return to the Gong family."
When he was in the Northeast, Ma San did not take this list seriously at all. When he arrived in Shanghai and learned about the specific situation, he realized the importance of this list.
Japan plans to occupy China in three months. For this grand plan, the Japanese have been preparing for more than ten years, and now it is time to start.
Shanghai is a key point in the plan. It quickly occupied Shanghai, cut off important channels for Western powers to support China, and used it as a bridgehead to advance to Nanjing, forcing the authorities and government to surrender.
Shanghai's role in the entire plan is very important. After occupying Shanghai, there are detailed plans for how to stabilize the situation, appease people from all walks of life, quickly integrate Shanghai's manpower and material resources, and use it for the empire.
Watanabe was a dead room sent to Shanghai, with only one single line of emergency contact.
Originally, it was not until the Japanese occupied Shanghai that the Watanabe would be activated. At that time, with his connections that had been operating in Shanghai for many years, he would become a bridge for communication between Japanese and powerful local people in Shanghai.
But unexpectedly, Watanabe would die at the hands of Chen Sheng during the negotiations between Japanese and Mr. Lu, but fortunately he left a list.
This list records the positions and attitudes of people from all walks of life in Shanghai, which are intentional in favor of, which are swaying, and which are resolutely resisting.
Among them are the preferences, weaknesses and even handles of these people.
Now that Watanabe is dead, this list becomes even more important.
In Ma San's opinion, this list is exactly what he dreams of advancement.
As long as he can get it and hand it over to the Japanese, it will be a great achievement. Even the Japanese senior executives in charge of this plan will remember his name.
If such great contributions are made, when the Japanese occupy China in the future, Ma San will become an important figure in the three eastern provinces.
"Let me go, I'll let you go, have you heard?" Xiao Liu struggled and said, "Don't say I didn't even record that list. Even if I really remember it, I will never leave it to you as a traitor."
"The master is very kind to me. For his sake, I don't want to be strong against you, but you don't want to force me." Ma San said in a cold tone:
"Don't expect that Sha Lifei can protect you. He has a good reputation but his skills are not good. I can tell while walking that he is unstable and has never worked hard. Even if his shooting skills are good, he doesn't even have a chance to draw his gun in front of me."
