The main purpose of the morning meeting was to brief the cadres at all sections on the situation in Xi'an, and once again focused on explaining that it is necessary to strengthen the defense of Nanjing.

Back in the office, Meng Shaoyuan changed out of his tunic and put on a black suit, a black tweed coat and a black top hat.

The Browning pistol was examined, and then inserted into the holster.

"Team Leader Meng." As soon as he went out, he met Zhu Yanni head-on, and looked Meng Shaoyuan up and down: "Where are you going to dress up so vigorously?" ”

"Go on a blind date."

"Bah."

Zhu Yanni spat at Meng Shaoyuan's back: "Let you go on a blind date, you will be old and ugly, and you will be sick!" ”

After Zhu Yanni had money, she rented a small courtyard in Nanjing, which was detached and very clean. Later, Lin Xuan came and lived here.

After Shimamoto Narumi was caught, he was detained in a small hotel, and Guo Rui and Ji Shuang were in charge of surveillance.

And because Xia Wen is a woman, she was temporarily arranged here with Zhu Yanni, and she and Lin Xuan took turns to monitor them, among them, Tian Qi and they would also come over to take a look.

As soon as he entered, Meng Shaoyuan saw Xia Wen at first glance looking at a few pots of flowers in the yard there.

"How?" Meng Shaoyuan called Lin Xuan over and asked in a low voice.

"Pretty honest." Lin Xuan also replied in a low voice: "There are rules every day, after eating, I will read books in the yard and enjoy the flowers." ”

"What will you tempt?"

"Tempted, that day, I deliberately had something urgent to go out, and then ambushed with Tian Qi nearby, but for most of the day, Xia Wen didn't even take a step out of the gate, and she didn't want to escape at all."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and came to Xia Wen's side: "Miss Xia." ”

"Team Leader Meng." Xia Wen stood up and smiled quietly.

"Well, you're used to living here, aren't you?"

"It's okay to live in a good place, but the climate is not used to it, it's too cold." Xia Wen replied honestly: "Guangzhou at this time is very warm. I don't mean anything else, I'm very grateful to Team Leader Meng for being able to take us in, so that we don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

There is a recliner on the side, and a table on the side, chrysanthemum tea and a book.

This book was bought by Meng Shaoyuan, and "Shanghai Spring and Autumn" written by Bao Tianxiao, one of the representatives of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School.

Meng Shaoyuan flipped through it casually and asked, "Have you read Miss Xia's book?" ”

"After reading it, the book recommended to me by Team Leader Meng is really good." Xia Wen said softly: "I didn't like to watch this type before, but this time I read it, but I feel that a book of Shanghai Spring and Autumn has written all the drunken gold fans of the Shanghai Ten Mile Foreign Field, but it is full of holes...... I didn't expect that people from the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly faction could write such profound books. ”

Meng Shaoyuan turned the book halfway, closed the book, and put it back again: "Miss Xia lives here with peace of mind, if there is anything, just tell them, we will always help you do what you can do." ”

"Thank you, Team Leader Meng, for your excuse."

Lin Xuan sent Meng Shaoyuan to the door, and Meng Shaoyuan stopped: "From now on, relax your surveillance of her, don't worry, Xia Wen will definitely not run." ”

Meng Shaoyuan went out, got into a car, and went directly to Pukou Zuosuo Street in Jiangbei District, Nanjing.

Since the Ming Dynasty, it has been the most important bazaar and transportation wharf in Nanjing.

In the era of the Republic of China, it has become the largest town in Nanjing.

And Zuosuo Street is its center.

There is a strong historical atmosphere here.

Meng Shaoyuan parked the car and got out of the car.

I came to a stall selling salted duck eggs, picked up a salted duck egg and smelled it: "Are you making this home?" ”

"Yes, boss." The peddler quickly stood up and accompanied the smiling face. Then he picked up two salted duck eggs and approached: "Team Leader Meng, the monitoring has been until now, a total of eight guests have gone in in two days, and they will come out soon, nothing abnormal." ”

"Oh."

Meng Shaoyuan put down the salted duck eggs: "Get off work, I've been staring here for two days, it's hard." After I went back, I went to Section Chief Feng to get ten yuan, had a good meal, and told Section Chief Feng that I would sign it when I went back. ”

"Thank you, Team Leader Meng, thank you, Team Leader Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan ignored him and went straight to the opposite side.

"Hidden no Co., Ltd."

There is a sign like this hanging at the door.

Frank and swaying.

Anti-Japanese sentiment was running high among the Chinese people, and in Nanjing, the capital of China, a Japanese trading company dared to openly display such a sign, which was to tell everyone that they were serious businessmen.

Meng Shaoyuan walked in.

That's what this trading company is interested in.

Yoshie Akihara is the person in charge of the Nanjing branch of Qianye Co., Ltd., and judging from the previous investigation, there is nothing wrong with this, but he is particularly cunning when doing business.

But in business, there is nothing wrong with that.

But when she was in Shanghai, Sun Yonglan said that Qi Honghai and Qiu Yuan Xijiang mentioned many times that they were from the Lixing Society, which still aroused Meng Shaoyuan's strong curiosity.

Just because you can't find a problem doesn't mean there really isn't a problem.

Meng Shaoyuan always reminded himself that he was a spy and an intelligence worker, and he must be suspicious of everything.

"You've done a great job."

A Japanese man in a kimono hurriedly greeted the guest as soon as he saw the guest coming to the door, and one bowed: "I'm Miyagi Rishen, and I'm the temporary person in charge here, how can I help you?" ”

His Chinese is a little stiff.

Meng Shaoyuan handed out his business card:

Meng Xiaoyuan, manager of UBI.

Since using the pseudonym "Meng Xiaoyuan" in Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan thinks it's very good, and it has become his designated pseudonym.

"It turned out to be Manager Meng, please come in, please come in."

Miyagi welcomed Meng Shaoyuan in and poured him tea: "Li Tong Company, it's very familiar...... I think about it, ah, come to mind, there was a little accident in Hang Lung, their boss Xu merged the company with UBI, are you the same UBI? ”

"Mr. Miyagi is very well informed."

"Where, where we do business, we always have to understand some of these things." Miyagi Rishen said very politely: "We have also dealt with Boss Xu in the past, and Boss Xu's business is mainly to help us solve some troubles that the official can't solve." After his accident, we still have some regrets...... It is an honor to think that Manager Meng is here in person now. ”

"Xu Deshan is gone, but business has to be done." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "How did Xu Deshan do business with you in the past, I will do the same with you, and it will be more favorable." ”

"Okay, okay."

Miyagi took the cigarette deeply: "Manager Meng, please smoke." ”

Meng Shaoyuan was also not polite, he took out a cigarette, and Miyagi Lishen immediately took out a foreign fire and helped him light it diligently: "Doing business in Nanjing is the least simple." Manager Meng is so young, he can take charge of the company alone, maneuvering between all forces, like a fish in water, admire, admire. ”

Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette: "What do you mean by maneuvering between various forces?" Which forces? ”

"Mr. Meng is testing me." Miyagi said with a deep smile: "In Nanjing, if you want to do a good job like the previous Hang Lung Company, what should you not do?" However, UBI took over and started doing business, which was more convenient than before. That's hard in the background. I heard that it was the Lixing Society that supported the back. ”

"You're so bold." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "What is the support of the Lixing Society? Do you mean that the Lixing Society is openly smuggling? You're framing government officials. ”

Miyagi was not flustered at all: "Those who do business will use a little conspiracy just to make money." But to make more money, you need to make more friends. Be a friend, be honest, do you say that's the truth, Manager Meng? ”

Candid?

Meng Shaoyuan's interest in this Japanese became even stronger: "I heard that the person in charge here was Akihara Yoshie in the past? ”

"Yes, Mr. Akihara has returned to Japan because he is not feeling well, and I am in charge of this place for the time being."

"You're smart and honest, but it's a pity that your honesty is a bit too much." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Why do I think you are not a simple businessman now?" ”

"I'm just a simple businessman, but Manager Meng is not a simple businessman."

"Why?"

"It's still the same sentence just now, UBI has been unimpeded all the way, and there are people behind it. I have to admit to you that I didn't hear about it, but I am sure that it must be the Lixing Society behind it. As businessmen, we always have some friends and some channels that we can hear. ”

Miyagi's deep "honesty" is to the extreme: "Manager Meng can be in charge of Li Tong Company, I think, you are probably also a person from Lixing Society, and you are also an important person." Recently, the most prominent person in the Lixing Club is called Meng Shaoyuan......"

Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at "Meng Xiaoyuan".

But this "Meng Xiaoyuan" was expressionless, looking casual, as if the person he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

Miyagi also had some surprise in his heart:

"The gangster Xue Sangun who ran rampant in Taihu Lake, for so many years, no one could help them, but they were uprooted by an agent of the Lixing Society, and the entire city of Nanjing was talking about this legendary 'Meng agent'. I think, Agent Meng should be Meng Shaoyuan, right? ”

Whether in Nanjing, Shanghai, or Wuhan, there are a large number of Japanese specialties active.

There are many things that cannot be hidden from them.

Especially Meng Shaoyuan's rise to prominence in the Lixing Society, the spring breeze is proud, and Nanjing's Rite is afraid that he has already been eyeing him.

The question is, why is Miyagi Rishen discussing this so unscrupulously?

Is he really clear-hearted and just an ordinary businessman?

Or is there some other purpose?

"Go on." Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette and watched the green smoke curling.

"Xue San shot and killed well, eliminating harm for the people, even if I am Japanese, I am grateful to him. After all, a lot of our business also has to go by water. Miyagi smiled deeply and said, "Also, a friend of mine also asked me to express his deepest gratitude to Mr. Meng Shaoyuan. ”

"Who?"

"Mr. Shijima Kuan, Shanghai Branch of Zhengjin Bank."
