Chapter 82: Return to Shanghai
Lu Yuan naturally knows what kind of person Wang Jingwei is, this former Kuomintang veteran who is full of curves to save the country, is a standard pro-Japanese faction in his bones. However, the assassination of Wang Jingwei is not a trivial matter, Wang Jingwei is currently under the close protection of the Japanese, let alone wanting to get close to him, even Wang Jingwei's whereabouts are also confidential. After contacting Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuan, who was in Jiaxing, also fell into deep thought, Hogg and Schuchmann had both rushed to Hong Kong, and he had made an appointment to meet them in Chongqing.
But now there is this change, if Lu Yuan has rushed to Sichuan now, forget it, but he is in Jiaxing, which is not very far from Shanghai, after all, it is indeed very tempting for Lu Yuan to have the opportunity to assassinate Wang Jingwei, not to mention that there will be a special envoy of the Japanese emperor at that time. After some careful consideration, Lu Yuan decided to return to Shanghai immediately, with his own all-view map and the intelligence support of the underground party, the assassination of Wang Jingwei may not be unsuccessful.
Jiaxing is very close to Shanghai, but it took Lu Yuan two days to rush back to Shanghai, but Lu Yuan, who returned to Shanghai, did not return to his residence, but went to Hans's bar as soon as possible. "God, Lu, shouldn't you go to Hong Kong? Why do I see you in my bar? Ignoring Lu Yuan's tanned face, Hans walked out of the bar and opened his arms to the dusty Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan also opened his arms and hugged Hans, and at the same time whispered close to Hans's ear, "I need to have a good chat with you, if you can get me something to eat, it will be even better." Lu Yuan's whisper made Hans frown slightly, because since he knew Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan had never been so embarrassed. However, Hans still called the bar and whispered an explanation from a waiter, and then took Lu Yuan to his office with two bottles of beer.
After a few sips of beer, Lu Yuan's spirit was obviously much better, and after putting down the wine bottle in his hand, Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly at Han Sen. "No way, I rushed back from Jiaxing, and the road was not smooth, either I met Japanese soldiers or caught up with the robbery. Yesterday's heavy rain washed the road, and it was good that I was able to come back safely, but the rest is really hard to say. Lu Yuan's bitter water made Hans laugh, in fact, the treacherous and cunning Hans didn't believe what Lu Yuan said at all.
While the waiter at the bar hadn't brought the food yet, Hans took out a cigar and handed it to Lu Yuan, then lowered his voice and smiled strangely at Lu Yuan, "Let me guess, you rushed back from Jiaxing in such a hurry, I guess you must have something important." There doesn't seem to be anything unusual going on at your quarters, Hogg and Schuchmann are all right, and you say that you came to me as soon as you come back to Shanghai, so I judge that you must have something to help you with when you rush back to Shanghai. Han Sen showed a look of wisdom, but he didn't want his judgment to attract Lu Yuan's praise.
"Old man, you still gasp when you say you're fat, don't guess, my return to Shanghai has nothing to do with you." Although he was surprised by Hans's powerful reasoning ability, Lu Yuan refused to admit it. "I naturally have something to deal with when I go back to Shanghai, but this matter has nothing to do with you here, I came to you, just passing by, so I came in to take a look at you. If you care about the meal you've been treated, I can leave now, but don't regret it. Lu Yuan tilted his head and squinted at Hans who was sitting opposite him, his eyes full of impatience.
Lu Yuan's reaction and expression at the moment finally confused Hans, with years of experience, Hans judged that Lu Yuan's sudden return to Shanghai must have something to do with him, otherwise Lu Yuan would not have come directly to his bar without going home. But now looking at Lu Yuan's reaction and appearance, it seems that what Lu Yuan said just now doesn't seem to be a lie, could it be that this kid really just came in and took a look at himself when he was passing by? Hans had been completely confused.
Fortunately, the waiter at the bar brought the food to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan, who was busy gobbling up, let Hans go for the time being, but Hans was still thinking to himself with an uncertain expression. "Lu, tell me the truth, what is the matter with your coming back this time? I don't believe you're just passing by me? You know, I'm not in the same direction as your residence. Hans, who suddenly thought of a key point, suddenly realized, and then asked Lu Yuan, who was almost full, with a cold face.
"Old man, you really can't afford to make a joke, it's just a little joke, look at what kind of face you turn over, if you keep going like this, be careful that no one will play with you in the future." Lu Yuan smiled and grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth, and then teased Hans in a flirtatious tone. When Lu Yuan found that Hans reached out to grab the lighter on the table, Lu Yuan made a stop movement to Hansen, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." You have to think about it, if you hit me with a lighter, I won't give you a gift. ”
Lu Yuan's words made Hans's face soften slightly, but he still reached out and grabbed the lighter on the table in his hand, and there was a sign that he was about to do it if he didn't agree. "Now, this is something I got from a black marketeer by chance when I was in Suzhou, and I should be interested in these things, after all, these things have something to do with you in Germany." Lu Yuan, who had laughed enough, finally straightened his face, leaned over and took out a file bag and a few badges from the satchel he brought with him, and handed them to Hans.
Hans took the things handed by Lu Yuan, first put the file bag on the table, and then carefully looked at the badges in his hand, and after looking through them a few times, Hans raised his eyes to look at Lu Yuan. "Boy, where did you get this from? Don't tell me what kind of black marketeers or anything like that, I know at least more than ninety percent of the black marketeers in Shanghai, Suzhou is not very far from Shanghai, and I know a lot of black marketeers in Suzhou, don't try to use this to deceive me. ”
"Admire, admire." Lu Yuan immediately stretched out his thumb to Hans, "I didn't expect to be seen through by you at once, then I'll tell you the truth, I got these things from the Suzhou underground party, these badges are said to have been left in Suzhou City by a Japanese special force, and I don't really know the specific things." Lu Yuan's explanation is very general, but Hans has no place to verify it, after all, the matter of the Japanese Onimaru's team breaking its wings in Suzhou has long been tightly sealed by the Japanese army.
"These badges are related to a training school in the Empire, and I can't tell you the specifics, but what I can say is that the Empire once helped the Japanese train a unit. However, as far as I know, although the number of Japanese trained troops is not very large, they are all selected from many Japanese veterans and junior officers. Hans's words made Lu Yuan pout in his heart, what about the best, it wasn't that he was wiped out by himself once.
After reading the badge and those Japanese intelligence materials, Hans was silent for a moment and then reached out and tapped on the table, "These things are still somewhat useful to me, and I don't ask where you got these things from, I just want to know, what do you want from me?" Hans put on a black market style, and Lu Yuan naturally straightened his face, and immediately put forward his request to Hans.
"I really have something to attend to when I come back this time, but I can't afford to go home and stay, so I need a safe place to stay. I still need some*, just like the ones you gave me last time, and I just happened to have time this time, and by the way, I took the large-caliber bullets that you already had here with you. Lu Yuan's request was actually nothing at all in Hans's opinion, but Lu Yuan just mentioned * and those large-caliber bullets, and Hans had a little more doubt in his heart.
Although he had doubts, Hans agreed to all of Lu Yuan's requests, and half an hour later, Lu Yuan was sent to an apartment in the concession by Hans's men. "Very well, I'm happy here, you go back and tell Hans, just say I'm satisfied, and I'm grateful for his help." After seeing this suite-style apartment, Lu Yuan was very satisfied, but after Hans's people left, Lu Yuan immediately called Xu Huanshan to ask for a meeting.
Like Hans, Xu Huanshan was also very puzzled by Lu Yuan's sudden return, and after learning the real reason for Lu Yuan's return to Shanghai, Xu Huanshan could only say that he couldn't laugh or cry. A little later, all the * and 10,000 rounds of large-caliber ammunition provided by Hans were sent to the apartment where Lu Yuan was staying, and Lu Yuan, who was happy in his heart, put the magazine into the storage space, and then left the apartment and rushed to the place where he met Xu Huanshan.
Back in Shanghai, Lu Yuan found that everything here didn't seem to have changed, Japanese soldiers would still appear on the streets from time to time, and those plainclothes agents in short shirts still looked at every passerby. "You shouldn't come back, the above doesn't agree with you to help us, this time, the above plans to join forces with the military commander, after all, this is not a trivial matter." As soon as he met Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuanju got bad news, but Lu Yuan was not angry about this matter.
"Since you don't need help, then forget it, but I won't stay out of this matter, who can do it, it depends on their own ability." Lu Yuan's answer was very powerful, but at the same time, it really made Xu Huanshan embarrassed, after all, this was the first time that the Shanghai underground party had joined forces with the military commander, and Xu Huanshan did not want to be forced to fail because of Lu Yuan's appearance and horizontal interference.
