"That's true. The meaning of the appointment is this. We can discuss it with the Japanese side and each make a concession." Dai Li said.

"How do they back down? How can we back down?" Lu Ming felt that Dai Li's words were just a cover, and said coldly.

"We admit that Ning Xiner is a major suspect in the robbery of the Japanese arsenal, but we ask the Japanese side to hand over Ning Xiner to the Chinese side for trial. This way, each of us makes a concession, which not only saves the face of the Japanese side, but we can also get someone." Dai Li said.

"Have you discussed with the Japanese side? When did you meet the Japanese?" Lu Ming frowned, looking at Dai Li and asked.

"Uh, no meeting, just a phone call. The two sides haven't discussed the detailed rules yet, but the Japanese side agrees in principle to deal with this." Dai Li said.

"Right, why didn't you communicate with me beforehand? I can tell you now, no, absolutely not. No matter who agrees, I firmly disagree." Lu Ming suddenly stood up.

"Officer Lu, don't get excited, just listen to me slowly," Dai Li said.

"I'm not excited, but angry, Yunong, tell me the truth, is Miss Ning Xiner a major suspect in the arms robbery? Isn't this just letting his grandma fart?" Lu Ming asked.

"Of course not, but...uh, but, at this point, there must be a compromise..."

Dai Li hummed and wanted to persuade Lu Ming, but he also felt that the reasons he said were too forced, but it was not appropriate to use an orderly tone with Lu Ming.

"There is nothing wrong with it. Just because we want to save the face of the Japanese, we slapped ourselves in the face and charged innocent and victimized citizens as criminal suspects. Do you think this is what the government of the Republic of China should do? Let others look down on you!" Lu Ming said angrily.

"Isn't this a helpless solution? Mr. Lu, I hope you can understand the difficulties of the government and the committee. Although Ms. Ning has suffered innocent injustice, it is also for the benefit of the country. The government can compensate in other ways." Dai Li Said.

"Compensation? How to compensate?" Lu Ming asked while still standing.

Dai Li had no choice but to stand up and said: "That's right, after the Japanese hand over the hostages to us, we will have a trial and sentence Miss Ning to a few years in prison, but we will give Miss Ning the best living conditions, that is, She should live in seclusion for a few years, and after the turmoil of this incident passes, she will be released, and the government will give her a large sum of money as compensation," Dai Li said.

"Do you think the Cao Gang will be short of this money? What kind of bastard's idea came up with this?" Lu Ming scolded angrily.

"Mr. Lu, please calm down, and please be more rational. The commissioner's instructions are roughly the same. I just interpreted it." Dai Li wanted to suppress Lu Ming in the name of Mr. Jiang.

"I can't calm down, and I can't be rational. If a government is incapable of protecting its citizens' rights from being violated, if a government wants to flatter the enemy by wronging its own citizens, I don't think there is any need for this government to exist." Lu Ming shouted angrily.

"Mr. Lu, please be careful, this is a government agency of the Republic of China." Dai Li also shouted.

"What will happen if I say something carelessly? You call someone to arrest me? If someone must be sacrificed, then arrest me, wrong me, and replace Miss Ning with me. What I told you just now, you can Tell the committee member as it is, I can tell him on the phone in person, you can tell the committee member that I am very disappointed in him.”

At this moment, Lu Ming had already made a desperate move. He really wanted to send himself out. He couldn't let an innocent girl suffer this kind of grievance.

If the committee member is determined to wrong Ning Xiner, then simply let yourself replace Ning Xiner, at least he planned and sponsored the arms robbery, so it is not wronged.

Dai Li was so questioned that he couldn't speak. Of course, it was impossible to arrest Lu Ming. He didn't have the power to do so.

I'm afraid the committee will not rashly order Lu Ming to be arrested, right?

If there is no substantive evidence to arrest Lu Ming, it is very likely to cause serious divisions within the KMT.

Mr. Wang will definitely jump out and strongly oppose it. As a result, the lawsuit with the Japanese is not over, and the government of the Republic of China is in trouble first.

"Officer Lu, please calm down first, and then I will report to the committee member before deciding what to do about this matter." Dai Li had no choice but to back down.

"Okay, please tell the committee, Yu Nong, if you want to arrest someone, you can arrest me. Anyway, one person must be wronged. It's better to sacrifice me."

Lu Ming felt unprecedented disappointment and even despair. He never thought that Mr. Jiang would be so bottomless.

Perhaps in the eyes of Mr. Jiang, a civilian's innocence or grievances or even life and death are as light as a feather, so don't care.

From Mr. Jiang's point of view, maybe this is really for the benefit of the country, but how can it be accepted from the point of view of the people.

Could it be that the wishes of the leader and the wishes of the people can be completely opposite?

Shouldn't a leader protect his people instead of talking about the national interest?

If a government is unable to protect the personal rights of its people from being violated, then the government can be dissolved.

Lu Ming really thought so. He even thought that if Mr. Jiang didn't agree with this point of view, then he wouldn't agree with this leader either.

"Yunong, tell the committee member, let him think about it, if an American citizen or a British citizen is kidnapped by the Japanese for no reason, what will the US government and the British government do? They will charge their own citizens with criminal charges. To please the Japanese?" Lu Ming said angrily.

"Mr. Lu, we are the Republic of China, not the United States, not England. If we are that kind of powerful country, how would the Japanese dare to make trouble in Shanghai?" Dai Li smiled wryly.

Lu Ming nodded, he agreed with Dai Li's words.

Do the Japanese dare to make trouble in New York?Dare they kidnap British citizens in London?

They dare not, even if they have the guts.

These Japanese are rampant on the territory of China. When they arrive on the territory of the United States and the United Kingdom, they are as honest as they want, as polite as they want, and they are all like the third grandson.

Lu Ming looked at the embarrassed Dai Li, and his expression softened. He knew that this matter had nothing to do with Dai Li. Dai Li did not have the right to make such a decision, and he was just a person who conveyed orders.

"Yunong, I thought of something and wanted to ask you." Lu Ming sat down again and said.

"What's the matter, just ask Officer Lu." Dai Li felt that Lu Ming's mood had eased a lot, and he felt a little more at ease, so he also sat down.

He really didn't expect Lu Ming to have such a strong side. Even if Lu Ming was caught by the Military Law Department and taken to Nanjing, he had never reacted so violently. Just now he had a deep fear of Lu Ming.

Thinking of fear, Dai Li himself felt ridiculous.

Ever since he got into this business, he never thought that he would end his life. Maybe he would die at the gunpoint of the underground party, or at the dagger of the Japanese agents. That's the best ending.

Of course, there are people who make Dai Li feel scared, such as committee members, and some people who hold great power, but that kind of fear is different from the fear he felt just now, and he can't tell the specific difference.

"Yunong, I have carefully interrogated Chang Gui Yingzi and Chuan Mulin, but they all said that on the night of the kidnapping of Ning Xin'er, in the ballroom of Paramount, no agent from the Fuxing Society was found. Where are your people hiding? Could it be that you set up defenses outside Paramount?" Lu Ming asked.

Lu Ming has always wondered about this question. No matter what he thinks, Yu Yinger will not fail to notice the existence of Fuxingshe agents that night, unless those agents are all hidden around Paramount and have not entered Paramount.

But if these agents do not enter Paramount, how will they find out that people from the Communist International are connecting with representatives of the underground party?That doesn't make sense either.

"You're talking about this. I'm not very clear about the specifics. Weng was leading the team that day. Why don't we ask him face to face?" Dai Li blinked, looked at Lu Ming and said.

"Okay, go ask him." Lu Ming really wanted to know what was going on, otherwise he would always feel a lump in his heart.

Dai Li immediately called Weng Bailing's office and asked him to come up.

After a while, Weng Bailing came in and saw Lu Ming and Dai Li sitting on the sofa. He was a little dazed for a while, not understanding what the situation was.

Ever since Lu Ming punched him and he drew his gun at Lu Ming, the two hadn't met each other.

After that incident happened, Weng Bailing was also punished, changed from station master to acting station chief (equivalent to today's punishment of major demerits), his rank was also demoted from colonel to lieutenant colonel, and he was also revoked of his second-class merit. .

Of course Weng Bailing was aggrieved, but he had no place to complain. In Dai Li's words, it would be an extrajudicial favor to send him directly to the front line without pushing him to the end.

"Sir, the humble Weng Bailing is ordered to report." Weng Bailing stood upright and gave a military salute.
