Bourne's Nemesis

Chapter 25 A Safe Plan

Qiao Weiliang didn't get up, but bowed his head slightly and said, "Station Master Liu and these two friends, please sit down."

"Boss Qiao, I'm here to tell you something very important." Liu Changdong said,

"Please, I'm in a hurry."

Liu Changdong looked at Zhou Qian, and following his gaze, Qiao Weiliang also sized up the young man, and said, "Don't be restrained, just say anything."

"Boss Qiao, on August [-], you will hold a business meeting in the auditorium of the shipping company. At that time, important officials from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Economy will participate, right?" Zhou Qian asked,
Qiao Weiliang was taken aback for a moment, and then regained his composure. After all, the other party is a spy of the Fuxing Society, so there is nothing strange about knowing it. He said calmly, "You guys are very well informed. Please focus on the key points."

Zhou Qian's speech has always been unhurried, soft and steady, and the same is true when facing Qiao Weiliang. He smiled crookedly and said, "We got this news from the spies."

Qiao Weiliang was taken aback when he heard that, and asked, "Spy! What do you mean?"

"Qiao's enterprise is the leader in Hangzhou, and Boss Qiao is a business giant that Nanjing attaches great importance to. At the moment when the national economy is relatively difficult, Boss Qiao has helped Nanjing a lot by purchasing many manufacturers and enterprises. The most important thing is you are us. Very much respected patriotic businessman, it is our duty to protect the safety of you and your family, but the Japanese should not want to see you, we speculate that they may sabotage your meeting this time, or even assassinate you.”

Qiao Weiliang frowned, but he still listened to Zhou Qian's words, and asked obviously angrily, "Since you got the news from the spies, do you know about their assassination plan?"

"Unfortunately, we don't know exactly how many of them will act. We are here this time to discuss countermeasures with you."

"Just say what you want to do."

Zhou Qian finished his carefully planned plan and asked: "If this plan is to be completed, you and your cronies must cooperate. It must be the most trusted person."

Qiao Weiliang thought for a while and nodded slightly, "Well, your plan is very good, and I will fully cooperate."

"Boss Qiao, we are worried that the spies will assassinate and wipe out all the elites of your Qiao family. I want to know if they can control the business of the Qiao family?"

"Even if our Qiao family is all dead, the Japanese will never want to control the business of Qiao's family."

"What if they buy someone from the Qiao family, they can control the business of the Qiao family by controlling this person." Zhou Qian said,
"What you said is indeed possible, because not everyone in Qiao's family supports me." Qiao Weiliang said,

"So, according to my plan, Boss Qiao may be able to find someone who has a different heart in the Qiao family."

"I understand that on August [-]nd, we will see who is not present at the specified time. No matter who it is, please don't get involved. I will resolve this matter myself." Qiao Weiliang said,

"Of course we don't care about Boss Qiao's family affairs, but because spies are involved, if Boss Qiao knows anything, please tell the truth."

"I can assure you of that."

"Thank you, Boss Joe."

Qiao Weiliang clasped his fists and said, "You three, I should say thank you. Stationmaster Liu knows that I hate the Japanese very much. As long as you can complete the plan and protect our Qiao family, I, Qiao Weiliang, will never treat you badly."

"Then we will proceed as planned."

Qiao Weiliang didn't keep three people. It seemed that he was very busy. After leaving Jingyuan, Liu Changdong returned to Hangzhou Station. Zhou Qian and Ping Lu went directly to Qiao's Shipping Company.

Now that the auditorium is being set up, knowing that Zhou Qian and Ping Lu are from Nanjing, and accompanied by the cronies sent by Qiao Weiliang, the people from Qiao's Shipping Company dare not neglect to let them move freely.

This was discussed with Qiao Weiliang. The security work of this meeting is still in charge of the organizers of the Qiao family, because two important officials from the Nanjing government are coming, and Qiao Weiliang is also an important figure. If Nanjing does not send people, it will make the spies suspicious. , They should also think about this level, now let's see how many An Xinmei and the others have.

The two of them didn't find anything on August [-]st. An Xinmei wandered around the scene, but she didn't make any movements, and she was under the surveillance of Zhou Qian and Ping Lu.

Zhou Qian and Ping Lu also put on a show, basically they would not ask about the security work of Qiao's house, and the two hid in a quiet place to chat when they had nothing to do.

The auditorium was decorated that night. In order to ensure that it would not be destroyed, Qiao's Shipping Company sent people to guard the auditorium. Zhou Qian and Ping Lu didn't stay and went home to rest.

On the early morning of August [-], Zhou Qian and Ping Lu arrived at the auditorium. At this time, many employees of Qiao's Shipping Company had already arrived, and they were all preparing for the negotiation.

Qiao Jialiang also came to the scene ahead of time. He found Zhou Qian and Ping Lu and asked, "Are you from Nanjing?"

"Yes, we are here to protect the safety of the important officials."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"You don't need to do anything yet, just do it according to the plan. If necessary, we will tell you." Qiao Jialiang should have received Qiao Weiliang's order, so Zhou Qian will not direct him to do anything.

As the time passed, Zhou Qian and Ping Lu searched for suspicious people in the auditorium, mainly focusing on An Xinmei's gaze, and they would write down anyone she paid attention to or even made eye contact with.

Because this is not an open discussion meeting, there will be no reporters to interview, Qiao Jialiang's task is to secretly record the strangers, and the specific number is handed over to Zhou Qian and Ping Lu.

The meeting started at 09:30, and at [-]:[-], Qiao Jialiang suddenly announced that the address of the meeting was changed to Hangzhou Grand Hotel, and asked all the principals of the Qiao family to rush there immediately.

Qiao Jialiang personally checked the people who got into the car, and asked the rest of the staff at the venue to go back to work. He took the main characters of the Qiao family to Hangzhou Grand Hotel by car.

Zhou Qian and Ping Lu saw An Xinmei's bewildered expression, and all the people in the auditorium started to go out, so she had to go back to the office.

"Sister Pinglu, go to the gate and meet Stationmaster Liu. Anyone who leaves Qiao's Shipping Company will be arrested. I'll arrest An Xinmei."

Zhou Qian's plan was very simple. He was worried that the spies would plant explosives in the auditorium, but the spies would not detonate the explosion if Qiao Weiliang and other targets did not appear. Therefore, the meeting originally scheduled to be held in the auditorium at 09:30 was changed to the Hangzhou Grand Hotel. At [-]:[-], Qiao Weiliang notified that the meeting place had been changed.

Suddenly changing the venue, the spies had no time to modify the action plan, because they didn't know where the venue was changed, and now they could only cancel the action plan and evacuate.

As for who the Qiao family lacks now, Zhou Qian doesn't care, this is what Qiao Weiliang requested in advance. If there is an inner ghost, he probably already knows who it is by now.
