At an armrest downstairs, Zhang Tianhao and Liu Ying stood there, each holding a red wine glass, chatting casually, while watching the people dancing in the ballroom below.
"Ms. Liu, it's really hard work. It's not easy to make a living here!"
"Well, it's not like those stinky men are trying to take advantage of little girls like us all day long." She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhang Tianhao and said calmly.
"You can't catch them all in one fell swoop. I was wronged!"
When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then defended himself casually.
“There aren’t many good ones!”
"Okay! Whatever you say will be whatever you say!"
Zhang Tianhao knew that arguing with Liu Ying would not lead to any results, so he changed the subject again.
"By the way, have you figured out the situation at Erdan?"
"Erdan went home, but he has not returned to Nanjing yet. We don't know where his hometown is. We have been looking for it for a long time and still can't find it. It's so difficult!"
"did not find?"
Zhang Tianhao was also stunned. After all, this high school student was related to the success or failure of the mission. Now that Erdan was gone, he was also a little anxious.
"Did Erdan not return to the pier, or was Erdan not at the pier at all?"
"Erdan works at the dock. My people have asked many people, and they all said that Erdan has gone back to his hometown. After all, it is difficult to live in Nanjing!"
"It's impossible. Most people now run to the city and are not willing to go back to the countryside. It's because life in the countryside is more difficult that they have to run to the city."
Zhang Tianhao frowned and even looked at Liu Ying, with more doubts on his face.
"A week, a full week!"
Zhang Tianhao could only sigh. In the end, everything turned into helplessness. After all, he really couldn't imagine how to proceed with this mission if he couldn't find this douchebag.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't expect it to be like this, and no one knows where Erdan's hometown is."
"Did you go to the household registration office to look for it?" Zhang Tianhao thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"I spent money to look for him through connections, but it turned out that there was nothing else but the original Surabaya Bridge, and that side had already been burned down. In addition, I suspect that he might have been recruited. After all, some people in the city were
I followed the opposite direction."
"The person on the other side?"
Zhang Tianhao's brain also buzzed, and he immediately thought that this possibility was still very high. After all, if the opponent recruited him, then he would really go to Fang Ru next.
"Damn it, if it's the person on the other side, the possibility of us coming back is even lower."
"yes!"
"By the way, sir, something happened at Qingliang Temple."
Suddenly, Liu Ying thought of something and couldn't help but whisper something.
"Master Deyun?"
"Well, something happened to Master Deyun. Because of the death of Captain Mujing, the Japanese did not find the murderer, and it was finally found out that he died at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, so the Japanese directly arrested Master Deyun. He is still locked up in the military police.
In the team, we don’t know whether we are alive or dead!”
Liu Ying's voice was not loud, and she was always alert to her surroundings. When she said this, her voice suddenly stopped, and then she spoke again.
"Sir, I don't dare agree to your conditions. The little girl is just an ordinary woman. How dare she get in touch with you? Let's leave it to other people who are destined to do so."
Zhang Tianhao also heard the footsteps approaching not far away, and he laughed, holding up his wine glass and smiling.
"Ms. Liu, I don't force others to do anything. That's not what a gentleman does, so don't worry, I won't have any objections to you. If you don't want to, of course I won't make things difficult for you. That wouldn't be fun!"
As he spoke, he spoke righteously.
"Then thank you sir, how about you, little lady, resign?"
Liu Ying looks like she wants to leave now.
Zhang Tianhao took out a wad of money from his pocket with one hand and threw it on the table. He said with a faint smile: "Ms. Liu, you don't mind drinking with me here tonight. How about this being considered as a tip?"
Looking at the money on the table, Liu Ying couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. There was more than a thousand yuan here. This was her salary for one or two years. Even if she was in the dance hall, it would be at least three months' salary.
And a tip.
However, she also knew that Zhang Tianhao could not simply give her a tip, but probably gave her some subsidies. After all, the life of her and her group was not that good.
"Sir, is it just drinking?"
At this moment, a young man walked over. He looked at the money on the table, then at Liu Ying and Zhang Tianhao, and couldn't help but laugh.
"It turns out that Miss Liu is here with this brother, but I can't find him no matter how hard I look for him?"
"Oh, isn't this Captain Hu? I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that Captain Hu would also come to the big world tonight. Please take a seat!"
As soon as Liu Ying heard the sound, she looked up and seemed very surprised. She couldn't help but stand up. She coquettishly pulled Captain Hu to sit down and said very politely.
Captain Hu was so polite that he sat down directly and glanced at Zhang Tianhao casually.
"I wonder who this brother is?"
He looked at it politely and then said calmly.
"It turns out to be Hu Sang. My dear, Ichiro Yoshida, please give me some advice!"
Zhang Tianhao stood up, bowed according to Japanese etiquette, took out a business card of Yoshida Ichiro from his pocket and handed it over.
"Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Yoshida, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Nothing. Since we are meeting for the first time, I can't say that I will have to deal with Captain Hu in the future! I also need Captain Hu's help with business matters."
Zhang Tianhao replied very politely.
"Is this your first time in the big world, Mr. Yoshida?"
"Yes, I was not in a good mood tonight. Something unpleasant happened, so I was sent to the big world to relax. Alas, speaking of which, I was very lucky to meet Liu here.
The young lady sang and was amazed, so I invited Miss Liu over for a drink."
"So that's the case, that's Miss Liu's blessing!"
As he spoke, he winked at Liu Ying and said lightly: "Miss Liu, congratulations, Mr. Yoshida has taken a liking to you. Come and give a toast to Mr. Yoshida."
At this time, Liu Ying realized that the identity of Zhang Tianhao in front of her was actually Japanese. She was also stunned. After all, the last time they met, he seemed to be Masao Chishima, right?
"Then the little girl will ask Mr. Yoshida to take care of her in the future, so I respect you by doing it first!"
Liu Ying was now thinking a lot. At least with the identity of Yoshida Ichiro, ordinary people really didn't dare to offend her. With Captain Hu doing publicity outside, she could feel more at ease.
"No problem. I will come to Nanjing when I have time in the future and come to the big world to listen to Liu's group singing. Captain Hu, I will ask you to take care of Miss Liu from now on!"
Zhang Tianhao immediately looked at Captain Hu. Obviously, Captain Hu was not a mortal.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you. Captain Hu is the captain of our police station. He is well-known in our area and is a man of justice!"
Liu Ying directly introduced Captain Hu to Zhang Tianhao, especially the key points of his identity.
