Huang Yanning didn't think too much. It wasn't that he was slow, but he didn't dare to think too much. He felt that the identity gap between himself and Yuan Ziyuan was too big, and they were not on the same path at all.
His family is a landowner in Guangyuan County, Sichuan. His ancestors left behind dozens of acres of paddy fields and a few cows to barely maintain the family's food and clothing.
His father gritted his teeth and made up his mind to send him to school. When he left Huangpu, he almost exhausted the family's money and incurred some debts.
He is considered to be in the top, but he still has younger brothers and sisters, and the whole family is waiting for his money to live on. Now he has to send most of his monthly salary home.
Although his status seems to be high, he is a major adjutant of the Songhu Garrison Command, but he is short of money, and only he knows what it feels like.
How dare he get into trouble with Yuan Ziyuan? The cost of dating a rich lady will not be cheap, and he knows this very well.
Who is Yuan Ziyuan?
In Sheng Muyi's absence, she has become the number one socialite in Shanghai, and now has full management of the Sheng family's property. She is still nominally Sheng Youde's nephew-in-law and one of the heirs of the Sheng family.
The next morning, Lu Ming unexpectedly received a letter from the Japanese Consulate, Kenda Eikichi. The letter invited him to meet at noon, at the same Japanese restaurant where they met last time.
Lu Ming knew that Qiantian must have something important to discuss, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to find him.
What could it be?
Could it be that the last time Kenda assisted him in kidnapping Ozawa Seishiro came to light?
Lu Ming's heart trembled, and he couldn't sit still.
In fact, this matter has long been no secret. When Sheng Youde negotiated with the Japanese and asked for the exchange of Yuan Ziyuan, the Japanese already knew who kidnapped Manchurian Railway agent Seishiro Ozawa.
That day, Qiantian and Lu Ming entered and exited the Sino-Japanese Friendship Party together. The sentry at the Japanese Concession Checkpoint also confirmed this. The Japanese Consulate's vehicle, including a car, refused to be inspected when entering and exiting the Concession.
Once it is determined that Lu Ming did it, Qian Tian is undoubtedly an accomplice.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Lu Ming's face. He was not afraid. In Shanghai, no one could do anything to him, but Qiantian was in danger.
There were several factions in Japan who wanted to kill him, and the consulate has been trying its best to protect him, which is why he is alive today.
If Qian Tian is involved in this case, he is likely to lose the protection of the consulate. In that case, Qian Tian may die at any time.
No, it seems that Qiantian must be protected as soon as possible. Lu Ming thought like this, and went to Sheng Youde to express his thoughts.
Sheng Youde agreed with Lu Ming's suggestion, but Qiantian must voluntarily accept protection.
"You have to know that Mr. Kenta is Japanese no matter what. Japanese people have surprisingly strong self-esteem. They would rather commit suicide than accept the protection of others." Sheng Youde reminded.
"I know, I will respect Qiantian's ideas and discuss the matter with him, and I won't force him." Lu Ming thought.
According to Lu Ming's wishes, a few people were sent over to take Qiantian away immediately after seeing him. Of course, it is best to be willing, but it is not okay if you don't want to. You have to leave if you don't want to.
However, this will complicate things a bit, and will inevitably lead to a diplomatic dispute. In the end, it is very likely that it will be neither release nor hiding, and it will be Kenda who is in trouble.
"You go and take a look first. It's possible that the Japanese want to get Ozawa and the hostages back decently through Kenta. I think the Japanese don't want to make the matter bigger. They still have to take care of their face." Sheng Youde smiled.
road.
"Well, it's possible. If that's what you said, how should I deal with it?" Lu Ming was still not willing to let go of Ozawa.
"You can do whatever you want. These people are useless now. There is no use in keeping them in your hands. There is no need to kill them." Sheng Youde shook his head and said.
Although Sheng Youde was not a person who fasted and chanted Buddha's name, he was not willing to kill people casually, especially since these people were important figures in Mantetsu, and killing them would definitely lead to revenge from Mantetsu.
Whether you are afraid or not is one thing, but there is no need to cause trouble is another.
Lu Ming drove to the restaurant Qian Tian had agreed to. He did not drive the Cadillac, but Yuan Mingzhu's Chevrolet. The Cadillac was too conspicuous.
Lu Ming is a person who doesn't like to show off. As long as he can deal with things in a low-key manner, he will definitely not be high-key.
He got out of the car and saw Kenta waiting for him outside the restaurant.
Seeing him coming, Qiantian was smiling and looked very relaxed, not like he was in trouble.
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the incident was not exposed, but sooner or later the curtain would be lifted, so he had to take precautions.
"Lu Sang, it's really hard to find you now." Qian Tian chuckled.
"It's not that difficult, right? I'm basically in a few fixed places, and you should all know that." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Come on, let's go in and talk." Qian Tian gave way and squeezed Lu Ming's arm with one hand.
Lu Ming had a three-point score in his mind. He might have to perform a lot today, but things wouldn't be too bad.
Lu Ming walked in first, and then Qiantian followed, walked a few steps quickly, and led Lu Ming into the reserved box.
Just when Lu Ming was about to ask something, Qiantian immediately stopped him with his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Lu Sang, according to our information, Mr. Ozawa and several of his subordinates are in the hands of Chairman Sheng. I don't know that Lu Sang
Do you know about this?"
When Lu Ming heard this question, he didn't understand. He smiled and said, "I know about this. President Sheng invited Ozawa-kun and several others to be guests."
"Being a guest? This time of being a guest is too long, Lu Sang. Isn't it unfriendly for President Sheng to do this? But he is suspected of kidnapping us Japanese people." Qian Tian pretended to be dissatisfied.
"No, how can this be called kidnapping? Wasn't Miss Yuan Ziyuan also invited by you to be your guest for several months? We have nothing to protest. Once Mr. Ozawa and the others have been guests for half a year, it will naturally be safe.
Mr. Qian Tian can rest assured that he is back." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Both parties knew this matter well, so Lu Ming didn't have to hide anything, but he used Yuan Ziyuan's incident to stop the Japanese's mouths, which meant that everyone was talking to each other.
Indeed, Yuan Ziyuan did not suffer at all at the hands of the Japanese, but after all, she was under house arrest for half a year, so Lu Ming's response was to also put Ozawa and others under house arrest for half a year.
"That's right, but can you please ask Chairman Sheng to help Ozawa and the others come back early? The Manchurian Railway Shanghai Branch is short of manpower and needs them very much now." Qian Tian said sincerely.
"This is not easy to handle. You know President Sheng's temper. He has already promised to keep Mr. Ozawa as a guest for half a year. That means half a year. It's hard for me to talk." Lu Ming frowned.
With a bang, the door of the box was knocked open, and a woman came in fiercely. She was a very beautiful woman.
"Hey, is it you?"
"What about me? Do you also want to kidnap me for half a year?" The beautiful woman said with anger in her eyes.
"I'm not interested. Your appearance doesn't meet my standards." Lu Ming stood up and waved a finger contemptuously.
"you……"
That woman was so angry that she didn't care if Lu Ming really wanted to kidnap her or even kill her, but Lu Ming meant that he didn't even bother kidnapping her because her appearance didn't meet his standards.
Women are most afraid of others making irresponsible remarks about their appearance. She is originally very confident, but how many men don't covet her beauty? Unexpectedly, Lu Ming said this, as if she was ugly.
"Miss Yu, what are you doing? I was negotiating terms with Lu Sang. Why did you suddenly barge in? It's so outrageous." Qian Tian shouted loudly.
As soon as Lu Ming entered the box, he knew from Qiantian's look that the walls had ears, so the two of them started singing the double act together.
Sheng Youde's guess was not unreasonable. Lu Ming thought of several possibilities along the way. Anyway, no matter what, the main task today is to protect Qian Tian.
In fact, Lu Ming was not afraid. The Japanese did not dare to deal with him unscrupulously in public places. Without this confidence, he would not go to the meeting alone.
When he saw this woman, he immediately understood that she was the assassin who had assassinated him. According to Qiantian, he was a Chinese named Yu Ying'er, but now he was working for the Japanese.
The last time he kidnapped Ozawa, Lu Ming's biggest regret was that he did not kidnap Yu Ying'er together. Unfortunately, Yu Ying'er was not in Shanghai at that time, but went outside the customs.
