When Ono Akira came to the hotel for the second time, it was already evening.

As soon as he received the call from "Zhu Gongzi", he knew something was wrong and hurried over.

Entering the room, he was out of breath: "Zhu, Mr. Zhu, I...I gave the gold to you...your wife."

"Madam? What kind of lady do I have?"

Meng Shaoyuan stared: "Damn it, I'm not married yet, where did I get my wife?"

Ono Akira's face turned pale: "The woman you brought with you to my clinic that day..."

"That's the prostitute I brought from Shanghai!" Meng Shaoyuan almost roared: "That's a bitch, bitch! Xiao Zhaoye, you are also a doctor after all, how can you believe the words of a bitch?"

Ono Akira's head was about to explode.

Although he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this, in any case, he personally handed the gold to the woman.

What's even worse is that he doesn't even know that woman's name.

This is also the blind spot of mankind.

Seeing two people together and looking so intimate, a certain sense of trust will naturally arise.

Meng Shaoyuan grasped this point and asked Zhu Yanni to act in a play.

Suspect?

What's the use of Ono Akira's doubts?

The thing he asked him to do was inherently shady. Coupled with his status as a Japanese spy, how could he still dare to call the police?

Let alone calling the police, he didn't even have the courage to confront himself.

"Doctor Xiao." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "Don't just bribe that woman to co-act in a play, right?"

This Zhu Bajie slapped him backwards, leaving Xiao Yezhao completely confused: "Master Zhu, please don't accuse me unjustly. How could I deceive you by acting with the woman you brought?"

"I can't care about this?" Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand: "If there is gold, Master Qi will save people. If there is no gold, I'm sorry, we will not serve. Master Qi still has military affairs in Nanjing, so we will leave tomorrow."

"Etc., etc."

Ono Akira was really anxious: "Give me one night and I'll think of a solution."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

In my own day, this was how those phone scammers deceived people.

First, I will lure you into the trap and defraud you of a sum of money.

Then take advantage of your eagerness to recover your losses, one after another, until you are drained dry.

The first time you find out that you have been cheated, the best way is to call the police immediately and stop the loss decisively.

However, many victims keep a lucky mentality and continue to be deceived willingly.

The same goes for Akira Ono.

Three hundred taels of gold, this is definitely a huge sum of money.

Even the "Eagle Agency" must have thought of many ways to collect this gold.

Now that the gold has been lost, how will Ono Akira explain it when he returns?

His superiors will never forgive him.

He is the "victim". In order to stop the loss, the only thing he can do is to continue to trust "Mr. Zhu" and believe that he and "Seventh Master" can rescue Matsumoto Jiro.

And when he was in Zhenjiang, there was only one way to raise money:

Pan Jun car!

…

"Mr. Pan, you must help me find a way."

Exactly what Meng Shaoyuan had judged, Xiao Yezhao found Pan Junche immediately.

Pan Junche had a sad face: "Xiaoye... no, no, Mr. Xiao, three hundred taels of gold, this is definitely not a small amount. I have already paid sixty taels of gold in advance, and now I want another three hundred taels.

Where can I get it?”

"Mr. Pan, we are sitting on the same boat."

In front of Pan Junche, Ono Akira was no longer so polite. He said with a straight face: "If I can't complete this mission successfully, then I will definitely report it to the Chinese government. It was you who assisted me. Then you will

With the reputation of being a traitor, do you think you can still survive in Zhenjiang? It is possible to be arrested and shot!"

I blame you, the eighteenth generation of Japanese ancestors!

Pan Junche cursed in his heart.

When Ono Akira bribed him, he made all kinds of promises without batting an eyelid. He also said that he would hand over many Japanese trading companies' business to him as an agent in the future.

I was so confused by the lard that I agreed to cooperate with him.

Now that it's fine, he actually blackmailed me?

It's really hard to be a traitor.

Pan Junche has now boarded the pirate ship, and it is impossible to get off even if he thinks about it. By then, the Chinese and Japanese will make him no longer a human being inside and outside.

He smiled bitterly and said bravely:

"Mr. Xiao, I'll help you think of a way, I'll help you think of a way. But after all, it's three hundred taels of gold and seven hundred thousand oceans. You have to give me some time to raise it, right?"

"Three days, within three days, we must get the money." Ono Akira said in a non-negotiable tone: "I will find a way to hold them back for three days!"

…

Akira Ono "succeeded".

Before he could talk and plead, Meng Shaoyuan finally reluctantly agreed to convince Master Qi to stay in Zhenjiang for three more days.

Moreover, in order to stabilize Ono Akira, Tian Qi even came out to meet with him and vowed that as long as he could see gold, he would rescue "Wu Xingguo".

The most unlucky person is probably Pan Junche.

Such a large sum of gold would not be easy to collect in a short time even if the Pan family was wealthy.

After withdrawing all the money in the bank and mortgaging an old house, I was able to obtain the three hundred taels of gold within the three days specified.

When he handed it to Ono Akira, his hands were trembling...

…

This time, Ono Akira didn't feel bad when he handed over the three hundred taels of gold. It was not his own money anyway.

Meng Shaoyuan repeatedly assured him that when he returned to Nanjing, he would urge "Seventh Master" to get the matter settled.

Ono Akira left half relieved and half doubtful.

"Captain Meng, 660 taels of gold! More than 1.5 million oceans!" Mu Dekai and others' eyes widened when they saw so much gold:

"We've made a fortune this time!"

"Three hundred and sixty taels, let's keep them." Meng Shaoyuan had already calculated it in his mind: "The remaining three hundred taels will be turned over when we return to Nanjing. We must have an explanation to Director Dai."

His men nodded repeatedly.

What Captain Meng said now was like a golden rule to them.

Whatever he said, it would be correct.

"Captain Meng." Tian Qi hesitated: "No need to arrest Ono Zhao and Pan Junche? After all, they are Japanese spies."

"Catch him? Why?"

Meng Shaoyuan actually replied: "Ono Akira is a self-righteous fool. Wouldn't it be beneficial to us to keep such a fool? If we arrest him, the Japanese will continue to send new spies. Let's use novices to help us."

It’s better to use an experienced hand.”

Mu Dekai and several others almost sprayed out.

skilled?

Poor Ono Akira.

In the eyes of Captain Meng, he actually has such a status?

The Japanese were unlucky to meet such an opponent.
