Sir and Mrs. Lucas have disappeared completely, and they have not been heard from anywhere.

Even their servants don't know where they've gone.

Kidnapping, this must be a despicable and terrible kidnapping.

Now, Sinclair is absolutely sure.

Chinese!

It must have been those damned Chinese who did it.

How dare they kidnap the British?

And a noble knight?

Crazy, they're all crazy.

At Daniel's invitation, Meng Shaoyuan promised to take a little time out of his busy schedule to meet Sinclair.

Sinclair was not happy with such words.

However, for the safety of the Jazz couple, he was willing to endure for a while.

When he saw Meng Shaoyuan appear in his office, he tried his best to control his emotions: "Mr. Meng, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”

"I'm not happy, not happy at all."

I never expected Meng Shaoyuan's opening remarks to be like this: "One of my subordinates just died, so I'm in a bad mood." If there is anything, please tell me straight to the point. ”

"That's sad news." Damn Chinese, how dare you talk to me like that? Sinclair had to put a lot of effort into keeping herself from having a seizure:

"One of the outgoing directors of the Ministry of Works, the venerable Sir Lucas, and his wife, have disappeared. I know that Mr. Meng is a very capable person in Shanghai......"

"I know where they are."

What was even more unexpected was that Meng Shaoyuan actually interrupted him bluntly: "Sir Lucas and Madame Lucas have been invited by me to be guests." ”

What the? Bastard!

The Jazz couple were really kidnapped by this bastard!

"Guest"?

Another meaning of being a guest is kidnapping.

"Where are they now?" Sinclair's tone suddenly became serious.

"I don't want to tell you." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "When I think they have had enough, maybe they will come back." ”

"Maybe?" Sinclair opened the wooden box: "Is this finger Madame Jazz's?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at it: "That ring is really Madame Sizzle's, I have seen it before." ”

"You vile kidnapped two Englishmen!" Sinclair finally broke out: "It's a crime, a crime!" You dare to hurt Madame Jazz and cut off her fingers, you are a despicable criminal! ”

Well, anyone who sees this finger will think so.

Because it has the ring of the Lord Sir on it.

Even if Meng Shaoyuan told them now that Sir Lucas and his wife were really guests in Nanjing, that ring had nothing to do with that finger, and the other party would not believe it.

A lot of people believe in what they see "with their own eyes".

Like now.

"Am I sinning? Do you have proof? Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Who saw that I kidnapped the Jazz couple?" Who saw me cut off Madame Sizzle's finger? These are all your guesses. ”

"Guess? So who sent this finger? ”

"Who sent it? Does that have anything to do with me? If anyone brings you a finger to find me, what about the next time someone brings you the two heads of the Sir couple? ”

"Bastard thing!"

Meng Shaoyuan's attitude completely angered Sinclair: "Mr. Meng Shaoyuan, I now officially inform you that you thought you had been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and injuring Sir Lucas and his wife. ”

"Hey Joe, calm down." Daniel hurriedly persuaded on the side.

"It's okay, Daniel." Meng Shaoyuan didn't panic at all: "You want to arrest me, Mr. Soltrus?" Are you ready for the consequences of arresting me? Can you afford the consequences? ”

"Threaten me?" Sinclair decided that he could not budge in any case: "Your agents, who are at war with the Japanese, do not have the energy to deal with this matter. Moreover, you don't dare to make a big deal out of it in the Public Concession. We will lodge a solemn protest with your government. ”

"Yes, our government will give in, and they will not offend the British Empire because of such a small person." Meng Shaoyuan's words sounded like he had actually succumbed.

"Yes, so I advise you, Mr. Meng......"

"Shut up for me, you said before I finished my sentence, which teacher taught you etiquette?" Meng Shaoyuan scolded angrily unceremoniously, and then smiled coldly in front of Sinclair, who was pale:

"My government can't do it, but I have it. Before I came here, I had already told my men that if I could not return, there would be a bounty on the streets of the Public Concession tomorrow morning.

Kidnapping an Englishman, ten thousand pounds. kidnapping of a director of the Ministry of Works, £50,000. Ah, I take special care of you, and the bounty will give you a hundred thousand pounds for your head. ”

Crazy, crazy, this Chinese must be crazy.

Sinclair was dumbfounded.

"I have money, do you understand the magic of money, Mr. Soltras?" Meng Shaoyuan spoke in a tone as if he was about to rush to a banquet:

"The whole of Shanghai will go crazy under the magic of money. Stability of the Public Concession? That's a joke. By the way, do you have proof that I did it? I'm being held by you while the British are being kidnapped. ”

"Scoundrel, you're a scoundrel."

Sinclair muttered.

But he couldn't do anything about this scoundrel.

Shanghai will be in chaos, and if this scoundrel does this, the Shanghai Public Concession will surely fall into a terrible chaos.

That would be the greatest tragedy of the British in the Public Concession.

However, something even more terrible came out of Meng Shaoyuan's mouth: "By the way, where are Mr. and Mrs. Gertwood, the Director of Health who took up their posts with you this time, now, do you know?" ”

Sinclair's face changed again.

"Can I use the phone, please?"

Sinclair nodded blankly.

Meng Shaoyuan stood up and came to the phone: "Please help me pick up Zhiweilou...... Please help me find Mr. Gertwood in the Tianzi No. 1 private room, yes, someone is looking for ......"

Immediately, he handed the phone to Sinclair.

Sinclair's hand trembled a little when she answered the phone, and after a while, Getwood's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, who are you?" ”

"Ah, I'm Sinclair."

"Hello Joe, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Gottwood, what are you doing there?"

"Ah, a few enthusiastic Chinese invited me to dinner."

"The Chinese invited you to dinner?"

"Yes, my wife and I went shopping, got lost, asked for directions, a Chinese person spoke English, we had a good conversation, and he also invited me to eat Chinese delicacies."

"Oh, got it."

The phone was hung up......

"Mr. Greenwood, Ma'am, taste this duck." Xu Chengbo enthusiastically introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood: "Although the ducks in Shanghai are not as famous as the ducks in Beiping and Nanjing, they still have their own characteristics. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, my wife and I met such a warm friend as you when we first came to China." Mr. Greenwood repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "And he brought us to eat such a delicious meal." ”

"I'm a businessman and I like to make friends." Xu Chengbo smiled and said, "My boss will be very happy to know that I am doing this." ”

"Ah, when will you be able to meet your boss?"

"Of course, Mr. Greenwood, I'm sure my boss will be happy to deal with you."

Sinclair's face turned pale.

Mr. Greenwood was also controlled by this demon.

"You want to detain me, you can't afford the consequences." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette for himself: "This is not your Shanghai, this is my Shanghai!" The Donation Office, the Public Works Office, the Education Office, my people are keeping an eye on each of your departments, on all your foreign officials. Don't provoke me, Mr. Soltrus, you can't afford to play this game. ”

You can't afford to play this game!

This guy, Daniel smiled in his heart, Meng Shaoyuan This guy is too smart.

He knew very well that Meng Shaoyuan had not hurt Sir Lucas and his wife, and Meng Shaoyuan had also clearly told him before he came that he had nothing to do with Madame Sizzle.

The Jazz couple were really invited by him to be guests.

Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood were also invited by his men to taste Chinese delicacies there.

Meng Shaoyuan is simply a friend of a foreigner, how could a friend like him do such a thing as kidnapping?

Although it looks like a kidnapping.

But you don't have any proof.

"Daniel, don't worry, I'm not that crazy yet, when dealing with the Japanese, if I have to be distracted to go to war with the British, my government will not allow me to do this, and if I do, they will shoot me."

This is what Meng Shaoyuan told Daniel: "I only sleep to let Mr. Soltras know whose Shanghai is here!" ”

"Say, Mr. Meng." Sinclair's tone softened: "What do you want me to do to stop?" ”

"It's very simple, I told you before that I was going to be friends with you." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and took out a check: "It's still the last time I gave it to you, but you refused." Accept this check, and we'll be friends from now on. ”

Sinclair, of course, knew what it meant to accept the check.

In the future, no matter what Meng Shaoyuan wants to do, he must do what he says. The police commissioner, who is majestic in front of others, will only be a puppet in front of Meng Shaoyuan.

But at this point, he had no way to refuse.

Sinclair almost trembled and accepted the check.

"Look, we're friends now, aren't we?" Meng Shaoyuan was very satisfied: "Sir Lucas and his wife will be back soon, and they haven't lost a single hair." I'm not going to do anything to be sorry for my friends. ”

Sinclair had only now understood something he should have understood:

Here, it is his Meng Shaoyuan's Shanghai!
