The Yan family has business relationships with Japanese companies such as Manchuria Railway, Sumitomo, and Mitsubishi. They are still very close to the Japanese emotionally. If Lu Ming has a big conflict with the Japanese, they will be in a dilemma.
Yan Hongdao smiled and said: "They are all young people, young and energetic. Some small conflicts are inevitable. After a drink, they will be fine."
Yan Xiaohui didn't say anything. She knew that Lu Ming would never let go of Ozawa. If it weren't for the fact that he had to be captured alive, Ozawa would not be able to escape the fate of being sunk into the Huangpu River.
As for whether she offends the Japanese, she doesn't care. She is the attending doctor at Tongren Hospital and does not make a living by doing business with the Japanese. She has never cared about or asked about the Yan family's business.
"Who is Mr. Muto that Ozawa is talking about? You also have friends in Japan." Yan Xiaohui asked.
"Oh, Muto was a classmate of mine when I was studying in the United States. After returning to Japan, it was said that he went to work at the Japanese Base Camp General Staff Headquarters." Lu Ming said.
In fact, he could ask for Muto's phone number or call him for a chat. In his mind, Muto was a very cheerful and pursuing young man.
But when he heard that Muto had gone to work at the General Staff Headquarters in Japan, he had no interest at all.
The music sounded, and couples of men and women walked down the dance floor and started dancing.
Needless to say, Lu Ming became Yan Xiaohui's special backup dancer.
Most of the guests attending the social activities were middle-aged rich people or ladies, so there were no wild Mexican dances or passionate tangos, but only soothing and elegant waltzes.
Lu Ming danced a few dances with Yan Xiaohui. Yan Xiaohui's body became hot and weak, and he almost leaned on Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was not disgusted at all, but he was still thinking about tonight's mission, so he was inevitably a little distracted. Lu Ming hugged Yan Xiaohui, and the two of them seemed not to be dancing ballroom, but Lu Ming was holding Yan Xiaohui and making out.
Outside the dance floor, Mrs. Yan looked at Lu Ming and her daughter's entangled appearance, and said to Yan Hongdao: "What a wonderful and well-matched couple. Why didn't you, old man, catch them in the first place?"
Yan Hongdao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have front and back eyes either."
He really didn't expect that the boy who only looked a little handsome and a little thin at first would now be so tall, handsome and talented.
Although Lu Ming is known in Shanghai for not doing his job properly, he is young, has the capital to take detours, and has various experiences, so he will eventually find the right path.
No one succeeds casually, and there is a rainbow after the rain. This is not a big deal.
"The reason why you don't have a good attitude is because you and Xiao Ming's mother had some trouble back then. You can't forget the old relationship and can't save face." Mrs. Yan snorted coldly.
Yan Hongdao did not dare to refute, as he was well-known as a strict wife in the business world.
Madam Yan and Lu Ming's mother were best friends back then, just like Yuan Mingzhu and Ning Xiner. Yan Hongdao failed to pursue Lu Ming's mother, and ended up being caught by Madam Yan.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Ming's mother and Mrs. Yan, the best friends, broke up completely and have not been in contact with each other since then.
On the contrary, Yan Hongdao and Lu Ming's fathers occasionally walked around. The love rivals of the past no longer cared about the past after their children grew up, at least on the surface.
Lu Ming's father may have seen through the world and would rather be a country squire in his hometown than come to Shanghai for many years.
Lu Ming's mother was also willing to take care of her husband at home and live a life of caring for her husband and raising her children. The family lived a peaceful and happy life.
In fact, as long as people have a certain material foundation and get rid of greed and selfish desires, they can easily find a peaceful and comfortable life.
The only fly in the ointment was that Lu Ming's father became addicted to opium due to a gunshot wound in his leg and couldn't quit in order to relieve the pain. Fortunately, Sheng Youde could always get him cheap and high-quality Yunnan tobacco.
It didn't cause much trouble either.
"Old thing, do you think it's possible for Xiao Hui and Xiao Ming to be together?" Mrs. Yan asked.
"It's hard to say. Today's young people don't listen to us at all. They have all returned from studying abroad and have more knowledge than us. Let them make the decision on their own affairs." Yan Hongdao declined.
"I think Xiao Hui seems to have fallen in love with Xiao Ming. This scene reminds me of your mother when you pursued Xiao Ming. They are so similar. Could it be that this is inherited?" Mrs. Yan said with a bitter smile.
Yan Hongdao smiled bitterly and did not dare to answer, but what Mrs. Jing said was really similar to how he was crazy about pursuing Lu Ming's mother back then, and finally went to Lu Ming's father for a duel with two pistols.
Alas, I hope my daughter will not make the same mistakes as herself. Yan Hongdao prayed silently in his heart.
"It's fun, it's so fun, Lu Ming, I enjoy dancing with you. Can you dance with me more in the future?" After the dance, Yan Xiaohui hugged Lu Ming's arm and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, I will dance with you as long as I have the chance." King Lu Ming agreed without hesitation.
His arms were held tightly by Yan Xiaohui, and he could clearly feel Yan Xiaohui's body temperature and heartbeat, which made him feel itchy in his heart.
Neither of them chose liquor or wine, but went to the side and took a large glass of beer and drank it.
Although Lu Ming was dancing, he kept looking at Ozawa's figure. Ozawa's position was changing frequently, and he should be checking the post.
Ozawa divided the entire auditorium into several areas, and arranged several people to guard each area. These people could see each other. The network formed in this way could cover not only a stranger, but also a fly.
See, there are no blind spots at all.
Since the music started playing, Qian Tian has been dancing with a beautiful Japanese waitress in his arms. That Qian Tian did not get off the dance floor. This is no wonder. If he danced a complete dance, his heart would probably explode like a watermelon.
opened.
Just after the song ended, Qiantian came over with a glass of whiskey and said with a smile: "Lu Sang, you dance so well. Did you learn it in the United States?"
Lu Ming nodded and smiled: "Yes, I spent a lot of money to hire a professional dance teacher to teach me. The tuition is not in vain."
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he even posed. In fact, the peripheral vision of his eyes never stopped scanning.
Qiantian and Lu Ming clinked glasses, which meant that the time had come and it was time to take action.
Lu Ming also felt that time was almost up, and Ozawa's vigilance should be at a minimum now. He squeezed Yan Xiaohui's palm, indicating that he should take action immediately and pay attention to the changes around him.
Yan Xiaohui understood, walked aside and said a few words to Yan Hongdao. Yan Hongdao nodded, walked over to Feitian and smiled: "Mr. Feitian, my daughter wants to ask you for advice on some business matters, is it okay?"
When Feitian heard that it was Yan Xiaohui who invited him, he couldn't help but couldn't help but agreed. The three of them happily walked out of the banquet hall and came to a lounge.
Lu Ming noticed something. Ozawa happened to not be at his original position now, which meant that Ozawa didn't know which lounge Feitian had gone to.
He walked out to the room where An Gonggen and the others were hiding, knocked on the door three times, and then returned to the banquet hall.
This was a signal, telling An Gonggen that it was time for them to take action.
The operation was completely carried out by An Gonggen and the four people. Lu Ming did not participate. He was not trying to avoid suspicion or evade responsibility, but he had never participated in such activities. If he joined rashly, he would not be able to cooperate with An Gonggen's people.
, but it will be self-defeating.
This was also what Lu Ming and An Gonggen had discussed in advance. Only by division of labor and cooperation, seamless connection, and deletion of even the smallest redundant process could the kidnapping mission be successfully completed.
