When he stopped at a Japanese businessman's house on the way, he hired the Japanese servant girl to take care of Yuan Ziyuan.
It wasn't out of good intentions, but because I couldn't bear it any more. He served Yuan Ziyuan every day, which made the Japanese man lose all face.
Anyway, Yuan Ziyuan had plenty of money and was willing to spend it, so he simply hired a personal servant for her, so a Japanese servant woman appeared in the fleeing team.
After visiting Lushan Mountain, there were more and more soldiers pursuing them from all walks of life, and it became increasingly difficult to choose an escape route. Many times they had to go out day and night, and they had to choose remote paths to escape. Fortunately, there were Japanese along the way.
A secret connection point, otherwise he would have been caught long ago.
Finally they fled to the border of Henan. They were exhausted and didn't want to escape anymore.
So we started a secret procedure to find a businessman who was lurking in a small town in Henan and pretended to be Chinese, and planned to settle in his home for a while.
Yuan Ziyuan didn't know what would happen to her. She might be rescued, or she might be killed by the Japanese at the last moment. She guessed that when the Japanese really had no way to escape, they would definitely kill her first and then try again.
Suicide. They will not be willing to be caught alive by the Chinese.
The Japanese searched all her belongings over and over again. After having a maid, body searches were no longer a problem, but they still found nothing.
Yuan Ziyuan often said that she didn't want to live anymore and that she might as well die. Anyway, she had traveled to famous mountains and rivers and died without any regrets. She looked like she was about to die and bid farewell to the world.
This trick of pretending to be a ghost is very effective.
The Japanese did not dare to bet because Yuan Ziyuan said at the beginning that as long as something happened to her, the secret document would be published in major newspapers in Shanghai.
She couldn't die, at least not by their hands, but she couldn't be allowed to escape either.
Although they didn't know what this secret document was, judging from the instructions from above, it must be a big secret about the rise and fall of the empire, so they didn't dare to press too hard on Ziyuan, and even treated her respectfully.
The secret materials hidden by Yuan Ziyuan and Sheng Muyi must be retrieved before they die. This is a tough order from the Commander.
At that time, they divided their troops into two groups to guard Lingering Garden and Wanguo Apartment. From what they learned, Sheng Muyi had successfully escaped through the opening ceremony of Chinachem Hotel.
Then the chess piece Yuan Ziyuan is even more important. She will become the bait to lure Sheng Muyi in the future.
"Mu Yi? Where are you now? I miss you." Ziyuan murmured.
Only late at night would Ziyuan feel a deep sense of powerlessness and helplessness. Although she was determined to sacrifice herself to protect Sheng Muyi, she was still unwilling to never see Sheng Muyi or her sister again.
, never see his parents again.
She also often thinks of Lu Ming, wondering if Lu Ming can see through the secret she hid in the letter and complete the back-up plan she left. If Sheng Muyi's escape does not go smoothly, the last chance will be in Lu Ming's hands.
She had the last glimmer of hope, believing that Lu Ming could read the secret message she left in the letter. Among all the people she knew, the one she admired most in terms of intelligence and methods was Lu Ming. And Lu Ming had always wanted to be the leader of Shanghai
What about the private detective?
In Shanghai, Lu Ming was still immersed in studying the book on cryptography principles. However, it was not easy to understand an unknown field all at once. Lu Ming knew this, but had no other way, so he had to be patient.
Delve into it with temperament.
Of all the people's lives, the one that has undergone the biggest change is the cuckoo.
She was arranged to study in the Sheng family's spinning factory, and she was given the title of manager assistant, and she was led by Sheng Youde's distant relative.
When she walked into the workshop of the spinning mill, her ears were buzzing from the roaring machines. When she saw the rows of machines and the female workers who were as busy as bees, she felt as if she had walked into a beehive.
"Miss Du, just take a look. This is not a place for noble people like you. You should go back to the office and I will explain to you the basic situation of the factory and various systems and regulations."
"Okay, Aunt Sheng." Du Juan didn't know the woman's name, so she had to call her Aunt Sheng according to Sheng Youde's request. She still couldn't figure out what she should do as a manager and assistant.
There were several women in the office. They looked at Du Juan with hostility on their faces, fearing that this latecomer would take their place.
These people come in through various connections. They can sit in the office and live a leisurely life, but they earn wages several times higher than those of hard-working female workers. Naturally, they are wary and resistant to newcomers.
Apart from accountants, there are just a few clerks in the office, and there isn't much to do. In traditional society, relationships are like the temperature, which can change at any time.
Old relationships are replaced by new relationships, and distant relationships are kicked out of close relationships. Everyone knows this and cannot change it.
If they are squeezed out by people with closer connections and stronger backdoors, they will have to work in the workshop. Not only is it hard work, but they can only earn severely reduced wages. You can imagine the gap in their hearts.
"This is Miss Du, our assistant manager, who was personally arranged by the president." Aunt Sheng introduced.
She mentioned Sheng Youde deliberately to warn these people not to have any evil thoughts. You cannot afford to offend this person.
Since it was specially arranged by Chairman Sheng, and they look so beautiful, they must be vases, and maybe they were sent by Chairman Sheng to supervise them.
Several women immediately stood up and exchanged greetings with smiles on their faces.
However, they were all reassured. Since the president had personally arranged for them to come in, they would certainly not take a fancy to their position and would not give it to anyone else.
In fact, Sheng Youde never thought about how to arrange Du Juan. He just arranged something for her to do first, in order to free Lu Ming to do business and save Lu Ming from being busy with these trivial things every day.
"You all tell Du Xiangli about the situation in the factory." After Aunt Sheng finished speaking, she left, not knowing what she was busy with.
Several women pulled Du Juan to sit down, and then told her about various things in the spinning workshop, especially the things that needed attention.
"Du Xiangli, let me tell you, if you have nothing to do, don't go to that workshop. It doesn't matter if there is a lot of dust. What you are most afraid of is the flying threads, lint, etc. If you accidentally inhale it, your lungs and trachea will be damaged.
It fell."
"Yes, Du Xiangli, those machines are also very dangerous, especially women with long hair should never get close to them. Once the hair is caught in the machine, the person will be hanged. There have been many accidents in the past. It's scary.
Dead man."
"Du Xiangli, your clothes are really beautiful. What kind of fabric is it made of? Where was it custom-made?"
"Your hair is so beautifully combed. Which hairdresser did it for you?"
…
After saying a few words about serious matters, the conversation among the women turned to clothes, jewelry, and hairstyles, and they kept asking endless questions.
Du Juan was confused for a moment and didn't know which question to answer.
She couldn't adapt to the big change in her identity. A few days ago she was still a prostitute, but was redeemed by Lu Ming. She thought she would be with Lu Ming for the rest of her life, but suddenly she became the assistant manager of a spinning factory.
She didn't know what Xiangli did, but judging from the attitude of these women towards her, they should be very important people in the spinning mill.
Does this mean it has its own social status?
She suddenly understood why Lu Ming insisted that she live an independent life. Only by making a living alone can a person have an independent status. Does she count as independent now?
