The Wenhao system helped me become a killer

Chapter 385 Plan to leave

In fact, Jian Xingzhi's premonition was still very accurate. The Shanghai International Settlement was indeed no longer the last isolated island. The Japanese were eyeing it and were about to formally occupy and invade it, and Britain, France and other countries were powerless to stop them.

In this regard, Shen Wenjiao, who knew history, understood it more clearly than Jian Xingzhi. You know, the entire Shanghai was about to fall. This happened at the end of 1941. Due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan launched a war against Britain and the United States. Naturally, it would no longer take into account the interests of Britain and the United States, and took advantage of the situation to bite off the big fat piece of Shanghai Concession that it had been eyeing for a long time.

In fact, Shanghai has long been an international metropolis with as many as 5000 factories, accounting for half of the country. The total import and export trade volume within the concession even exceeds half of the country's total, making it a famous financial center.

Such a concession that was obviously sparkling with astonishing wealth was a huge piece of fat meat right under Japan's nose, so there was no reason not to take a bite!

In fact, the Japanese had long coveted the prosperity and wealth of the concessions, but at the beginning they had not yet torn their relations with Britain, the United States and other countries, so they did not dare to launch an invasion rashly. However, they never stopped infiltrating the concessions.

In the past two years, because Britain, France, the United States and other countries had deep conflicts with Japan, they provided partial support for the actions of many anti-Japanese personnel. Sometimes turning a blind eye and not investigating is the best protection.

Various groups and organizations in the concession carried out numerous anti-Japanese activities under the cover of the concession, such as publishing and broadcasting anti-Japanese propaganda, actively raising funds and supplies for the anti-Japanese army, and even using the concession as a cover to directly launch assassinations against Japanese and traitors.

The power of an individual is still too small for the whole. Jian Xingzhi has always known that the arm cannot twist the thigh. Ever since he sensed the wind, he has been mentally prepared to withdraw from the Shanghai Concession.

As Jian Xingzhi's bedmate, Shen Wenjiao naturally knew what he was thinking and of course she agreed with it wholeheartedly.

Don't say Shen Wenjiao is afraid of death. Who wants to die if they can live well? Especially, it is very likely that they will die in a very aggrieved and humiliating way. Shen Wenjiao knew that even if she had the good skills and some weapons and ammunition left by the system, she could not fight against a large number of troops alone.

"The sooner the better, the better. Why don't we plan it carefully and make a big deal before we leave!" Shen Wenjiao suggested quietly. While the concession is still useful, there's no point in waiting!

"Or you can let me think about it carefully?" Jian Xingzhi looked at Shen Wenjiao's eager look and covered his head with a headache. His wife has always been a fan of watching the fun and no matter how big the event, this time it must not be a simple matter.

"What are you thinking about? It's already September. If we don't take action now, we'll have to spend the New Year in the concession hand in hand with the Japanese!" Shen Wenjiao was so anxious that she was almost fuming. If they really waited until the end of the year, it would be difficult for them to leave.

"Why are you so anxious? Even if we want to withdraw, we have to arrange our things and people. We can't leave until at least after the New Year." Jian Xingzhi looked at Shen Wenjiao, who was obviously a little anxious, with a little surprise. Did she really think that leaving the concession was just buying a train ticket or a boat ticket and then just picking up a bag and leaving?

What about their houses? How to arrange their belongings? How to accommodate the intelligence personnel who don't want to leave? All these need to be arranged.

There is really no such thing as just leaving at any time. Apart from other things, even if Jian Xingzhi wanted to leave, the several safe houses, medicines, supplies, and ammunition he left in the concession could not be wasted, and they had to be handed over to reliable people.

"No, you know better than me that delay will only lead to complications. And I feel something is wrong. We'd better leave as soon as possible." Shen Wenjiao always felt a chill on her neck in the past few days, which was not a good feeling.

Shen Wenjiao is really not a fool. Her inexplicable intuition is sometimes frighteningly accurate. Of course, she would not ignore this almost explicit reminder, not to mention that she herself knows history.

Jian Xingzhi tapped his fingers on the teacup, thinking about Shen Wenjiao's words in his heart. After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes that she had much better luck than ordinary people in the past few years. If she said that she felt something was wrong, Jian Xingzhi would not dare to ignore it.

"It's September already. Do you mean to leave this year and not spend the New Year in Shanghai?" Jian Xingzhi looked into Shen Wenjiao's eyes seriously, his tone more serious than ever before.

Shen Wenjiao blinked, a little unaccustomed to Jian Xingzhi's serious tone, but still answered seriously, "Yes, I have been feeling hairy all over recently. If I don't leave now, I will probably be in trouble in the future~"

In fact, Jian Xingzhi knew this. They had been doing all kinds of activities for the past few years, whether it was collecting information, assassination activities, raising materials and funds, etc., there was no guarantee that no one would notice. It was because they took advantage of other people's misconceptions that they had been able to do so much for so long. After all, who would have thought that they would live under the noses of so many tenants and do so many things!

Not to mention Shen Wenjiao, who was a weak and famous female author who was actually a killer. No one could have imagined that she was a killer.

"Then speed up and leave in a month. Tell the public that I have been recruited by a large hospital abroad. We are going abroad." Jian Xingzhi's medical skills are not fake. People who know him have been recruiting him all these years. Such a reason is not groundless or without basis.

"One month? Isn't the time too tight? I haven't had time to tell my mother yet! What should we do with our house?" Shen Wenjiao finally remembered when the time came that this was not the era of the future, an era with sound rule of law where there were banks and shops everywhere and one could just take money and go with a bag.

Apart from anything else, Shen Wenjiao had a lot of private property buried under the ground of her original study in the small western-style house! It's not easy to take this away, can I just leave it here and wait for later?

When Shen Wenjiao thought of this, she regretted for a moment why she didn't even leave any space! But when she thought of the difference in exchange price after exchanging all and keeping all, Shen Wenjiao didn't regret it anymore.

Forget it, there is no free lunch in the world, and it is impossible to just think about taking advantage.

"My house will be entrusted to someone else, and so will yours. On the surface, we will leave first and then come back." Jian Xingzhi's arrangement was the safest and most unexpected. If necessary, they could come back openly, and others would not think that they were the ones who did it.

"Okay~" Since Jian Xingzhi had already told her about his subsequent plans, Shen Wenjiao thought about it and could only reluctantly give it up for the time being. Anyway, it was buried so deep underground, no one should be able to get it out, right? Goodbye, my private money~
