An Unexpected Turn of Events

Wang Zhaoming's matter was all Wang Yan could do. Any more, and something serious would happen.

In fact, even if the Red Party knew this intelligence now, there was nothing they could do. Wang Zhaoming was currently the Nationalist Party's vice president, and the only person he needed to win over was Bald Head. If the Red Party went to Bald Head and told him that his number two was about to defect, how could Bald Head possibly believe it so easily? After all, no one would imagine that the second-most important figure in a country's government would actually go over to the Japanese.

Within the Nationalist Party, although Wang Zhaoming had been somewhat sidelined, he was not without real power, nor was he without supporters. What he said still carried weight. But with the Japanese, he would be crawling over on his knees to be their grandson. No one in their right mind would want to do that.

But Wang Zhaoming did exactly that...

Perhaps he resented living under Bald Head's shadow, or perhaps his mind had truly snapped, and he fancied that this could save the country and its people, fulfilling some loftier purpose in life. Those motives were irrelevant. The key was that he had betrayed his country.

If Bald Head did not believe it, finding conclusive proof that Wang Zhaoming intended to betray the country would be difficult. Did they really think Bald Head was not keeping an eye on him? If the Red Party acted on its own and eliminated Wang Zhaoming, then at a time of national crisis, it would be seen as internal squabbling for power. Bald Head would absolutely waste no words—he would first negotiate peace with Japan, then pull out the old line about securing the interior before resisting foreign invaders
