Chapter 291: Going to the Banquet
"Brother Lu Wei, where did this letter come from?" Yuan Xian's face changed twice, and he asked Lu Wei in a very solemn tone.
"I don't know, someone sent it to my third brother anyway." Lu Wei paused slightly and explained.
"Has Director Chen read the contents of this letter?"
"I don't know this, President Yuan, the letter has been delivered, and my task is completed, farewell!" Lu Wei bowed slightly and hugged his fists.
Yuan Xian nodded, knowing that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he came: "Housekeeper, send off the guest on my behalf." ”
……
"Did the people send them away?" After Lu Wei left, the housekeeper returned to the living room again, and Yuan Xian's slightly tired voice asked.
"Master, the man is gone."
"Lao Xie, trouble is coming, look at this." Yuan Xian handed the envelope you had just opened to the housekeeper Xie Bicheng, this Xie Bicheng has followed him since he was a child, he has been in the Yuan family all his life, doing things for him, and he is the person he trusts the most.
"Master, this ......" Xie Bicheng is one year younger than Yuan Xian, although it can be regarded as brocade clothes and jade food, but the whole person looks like he is ten years older than Yuan Xian.
"This is someone deliberately provoking a fight between me and Chen Sanshui, but this surnamed Chen kicked the ball to me, for three purposes, first, to test my attitude, to see how much I know about Jie'er's death, second, let me find out the person who instigated behind the scenes, and then give him an explanation, third, if I don't have any attitude, then next, then we are enemies." Yuan Xian sighed and explained.
"Master, this surnamed Chen is too aggressive, isn't it?" Xie Bicheng said in surprise.
"Hey, speaking of which, the initiator of all this is still Jie'er, if he doesn't provoke that woman, he won't be four, and I don't need a white-haired person to send a black-haired person!"
"Actually, the young master is still very kind, but sometimes in order to achieve certain goals, the method is used incorrectly." Xie Bi became enlightened.
"Lao Xie, Jie'er was raised by you since childhood, you know his character best, although he is a little stubborn and nonsense, but he categorically dares not do this illegal and criminal thing, but some people do not hesitate to pull him into the water in order to achieve their own goals, Chen Mingchu, Zhang Lu, this time, if it weren't for Zhang Lu, a cheap woman, instigated and seduced, how could he think of using money to buy Wansheng and kidnap Liang Xueqin, this is simply ruining my Yuan family's family style!" Although Yuan Xian hated Chen Miao for being too ruthless behind his back, he hated the person who led his son to a dead end!
"Sir, what are you going to do?"
"Go, find a private investigator with some skills, and check the person who forged my signature." Yuan Xian commanded.
"Master, it's okay to find a private detective, but what if you find someone?"
"Find someone first." Yuan Xian instructed, "I don't believe anyone now, only by finding an irrelevant person to investigate, can I be more objective, remember, I have to sign a confidentiality agreement with him, and it doesn't hurt if the price is higher." ”
"Yes, sir."
"Master, master, no, Mrs. fainted......" Mrs. Yuan's maid screamed all the way and stepped down the stairs.
"Lao Xie, hurry, call an ambulance!" Yuan Xian stomped his feet anxiously.
……
"Chen Zhibo is here, tonight Lin Shiqun will take me to Wang's private dinner to pick up Chen Zhibo's dust." Chen Miao got off work early and briefly built a noodle with Lao Fan in front of Kailing's pastry house.
Of course, it was Xiao Qi who informed him.
If there is no Xiao Qi, Chen Miao is in No. 76, he is really lacking in skills, with Xiao Qi, his actions are much freer, and no one asks much about going in and out.
Anyway, a sentence of "Director Chen Sanshui of the Inspectorate sent him out on a business trip" can send people away, who dares to ask more?
"I know the news, why would Lin Shiqun suddenly want to take you to the banquet, and it won't be your turn to talk about relatives?" Old Fan nodded in surprise.
"To be honest, I don't know, anyway, I've seen the move, maybe this is an opportunity to learn something about the progress of the secret negotiations with the Japanese?" Chen Miao said.
"Be careful, if you speak in such an situation, the slightest mistake will arouse suspicion."
"I know, it's the first time I've participated in a private banquet of this level, and if I'm a little more restrained and don't talk much, no one should doubt it." Chen Miao nodded.
"Sir, your chestnut cake and whipped cream cup." The voice of the sales waiter of Commander Kai rang out.
"Thank you." Chen Miao paid, greeted Xiao Qi, and got in the car.
Because he had to attend the dinner party in the evening, Chen Miao got off work an hour and a half early, and he had to go home and change into slightly formal clothes.
"Xueqin, how is this suit?"
"Looks a little old-fashioned, why don't you try this?" Liang Xueqin leaned against the door frame on her shoulders and looked at Chen Miao in the mirror and said.
"Old-fashioned, this is mature and steady, and I'm not going to the prom, so it's better that no one pays attention to me." Chen Miao smiled, "That's it." ”
"If you like, you can do it." Liang Xueqin didn't insist, she knew that Chen Miao's private dinner tonight was extraordinary, and it was not an occasion for him to be in the limelight.
Therefore, dress plainly and be low-key, especially not to steal the limelight from the owner.
Leather shoes, Chen Miao deliberately picked a pair of half-new leather shoes, of course, they were shiny, which was neither limelight nor decent.
"You may come back a little later in the evening, don't wait for me, go to bed early." Chen Miao came out of the door and said, "Xiao Qi will go with me, and when the time comes, let him deal with it on the sofa in the living room for a night." ”
"Well, be careful on the road." Liang Xueqin instructed.
……
Chen Miao is still the first time to go to Wang's mansion in the concession, Lane 1136 of Yuyuan Road, facing Yuyuan Road with only one exit, deep, secluded, there are 16 independent small garden houses in the lane, Wang and Wang's important henchmen and staff live here separately, No. 76 is stationed here with a guard brigade stationed here, specifically responsible for the security here.
There is also a special detachment of the Japanese military police stationed here.
Barbed wire fences were installed on the walls of all houses, iron fences were installed on doors and windows, and watchtowers were added behind the homes of Wang and Zhou Fuhai.
There are sentry posts in the alley, and there are mobile plainclothes and shop observation posts on the street at the exit, and a specially issued pass is required to enter and exit the alley, otherwise it is impossible to enter without prior notice.
Chen Miao was stopped in a car at the entrance of the alley.
"Director Chen, why are you?" The guards guarding the door of the alley naturally knew Chen Miao, Chen Miao is now a middle-level cadre in No. 76, and the inspector has the power of the inspector, and the average minions can't afford to offend.
"Director Lin asked me to come." The guard checked Chen Miao's special pass and nodded, "You can go in, but you can't be my subordinate." ”
"He won't go in, he'll wait for me outside in the car." Chen Miao nodded slightly.
"Please." The guard politely moved out of the way.
Although this alley is not narrow, but under normal circumstances, cars are not allowed to drive in, first, the place inside is small, it is difficult for cars to turn around, and secondly, it is also for safety, there are too many things that can be hidden by cars.
But tonight is different, there are more than a dozen cars parked in the alley, Chen Miao is just a foil tonight, and his car is not qualified to drive in.
Chen Miao raised her feet and walked in, and found that only a small amount of bright light came through the windows in the garden houses on both sides, and most of them were pitch black.
There are three steps and one sentry in the alley, five steps and one post, and there are plainclothes spies patrolling with guns and wolf dogs, and the security is extremely strict.
Lin Shiqun has tried his best for the safety of the Wang family and others, this is still a concession, unless an elite army is sent, it is really difficult to enter here to assassinate and destroy.
Wang Mansion is the largest and best western-style building with a garden in the alley, and it is also the most lively place tonight, with the lights shining at the door.
Lin Shiqun also has a bungalow here, but he usually doesn't like to live here, the Lin Mansion on Daxi Road was designed and renovated by him, next to the barracks, in terms of safety, it is not lost here, and it is more comfortable.
Although he is also the number one person in the Wang Group, and the actual power he holds is also eye-catching, in the eyes of the Wang family, he is a spy leader.
Wang's love and hate for the secret service organization, in Hanoi, he almost died in the assassination of the military commander, can he not hate?
But his current security work has to be a spy like Lin Shiqun.
People like Ding Mohan and Lin Shiqun couldn't get into his eyes at all in the past, and now, he still has to be polite and rely on them to protect his safety.
Chen Miao met Lin Shiqun's guard captain Zhang Lu.
"Sanshui is here, hehe, how can you wear such a gray and non-slippery, young man's vitality?" When Lin Shiqun saw Chen Miao's body, he said slightly unhappily.
"Director, I'm just going to accompany you to meet these big names tonight, but you can't take the lead." Chen Miao smiled and explained.
"You, you are really careful, no wonder Miss Liang has a soft spot for you." Lin Shiqun sighed, "Okay, guy, you go with me, pay attention to follow me, don't walk around." ”
"Understood, I'm your personal bodyguard tonight." Chen Miao said busily.
"You're not married yet, otherwise, you can bring your wife over tonight." Lin Shiqun changed into a newly bought suit and walked out.
"Xueqin, she has a cold temperament, she doesn't like this kind of entertainment the most, she is here, in case one of them does not respond appropriately and offends people, it will not be good." Chen Miao hurriedly bowed.
"You, do you want to hide Jiao in the golden house and lock Xueqin in the house and not come out?" Ye Yuru was wearing a purple Shu brocade cheongsam, draped in a pink hairy shoulder, a touch of red. Lips, lotus steps to come, indescribable ten thousand styles.
"No, in this case, it is not suitable for Xueqin, she neither understands politics nor likes to socialize in officialdom, so I won't force her."
"Shiqun, listen, listen, Sanshui is still considerate, such a good man is hard to find with a lantern now." Ye Yuru pointed at Chen Miao and said to Lin Shiqun.
"Am I not obedient to you?" Lin Shiqun smiled, not angry.
Chen Miao deliberately turned her head away slightly, not planning to ignore the traitor couple playing tricks in front of him and showing their affection.
"It's almost time, let's go." Lin Shiqun looked at his watch and said.
Chen Miao followed Lin Shiqun and Ye Yuru, the two husbands and wives, out of the door, and slowly walked towards the Wang Mansion, which was actually thirty or forty meters, and it was just a step away.
"Director Lin has arrived, please!"
"This is a member of my special committee, Chen Miao, director of the Supervision Department."
Chen Miao nodded hurriedly in the back and said yes, it is true that he is the acting director of the Supervision Department of the No. 76 Secret Service Headquarters, but when did he become a member of the Secret Service Committee?
When did you have such a title?
Although he had this doubt in his heart, he also asked a lot on this occasion.
Although tonight was a private dinner, there were quite a few people who came, many of them with their families, and they were basically high-level cadres of Wang's new government in Shanghai.
Lin Shiqun was in a very good mood today, holding hands with Ye Yuru, greeting people everywhere, Chen Miao regarded himself as a small follower, one step behind, and followed.
In the past, he was just an intelligence editor of the Shanghai District of the military command, although he came into contact with a lot of information, but it was just a name on the intelligence and a cold photo, but now, he can observe the important figures of the Wang group that frequently appear on these intelligence.
Then they were seated one by one, and from their words and deeds, they analyzed and judged the accuracy of the information they had in the past.
This is actually a very interesting process, and Lin Shiqun doesn't need to introduce him, he just looks at it and listens, and it is already a big gain.
His target task tonight is Gao Zongwu and Tao Yuansheng, Gao Zongwu studied in Japan, self-proclaimed as an expert on Japanese issues, a young man, and became director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the age of 30.
Tao Yuansheng used to be a scholar and a professor at Central University, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he took the pen into politics and had a close relationship with Zhou Fuhai, serving as a member of the Standing Committee of the Wang Central Committee and the head of the Central Propaganda Department, and his position within the Wang Group was also very important.
These two people are the core figures of the secret negotiation team with Japan, and they must have mastered a large number of core secrets of Wang's negotiations with the Japanese side.
Could it be that "Queen" wants to find a breakthrough from these two people and understand the content of Wang's negotiations with the Japanese side? Otherwise, what does she need the whereabouts of these two men?
Gao Zongwu lived here, while Tao Yuansheng himself had his own mansion in the French Concession and did not live with Wang and others.
If both of them live in Lane 1136 of Yuyuan Road, it will be difficult to track, they are both important figures of the Wang Group, and their actions are monitored and protected by No. 76.
And in this regard, Chen Miao can't interfere at all, Wu Yunfu is in charge, and Lin Shiqun's guard captain Zhang Lu is directly in charge.
In addition to No. 76, Wang's security also has another force, which is personally controlled by Wang's wife Chen Bijun, and there is also a Japanese military police task force.
Therefore, it is an extremely difficult thing to stab, and Boss Dai seems to be extremely stubborn about this matter, and he has the intention of not giving up until the goal is achieved.
Tao Yuansheng used to be a professor and a scholar, but now although he is an official of the Wang family, he still has a stronger scholarly temperament.
You can see it in the way you dress and how you talk and behave.
Gao Zongwu likes to talk highly, plus he is young and handsome, wherever he goes, that is the focus, and Tao Yuansheng is much calmer and quieter, after Chen Miao separated from Lin Shiqun and Ye Yuru, the target he chose was Tao Yuansheng.
