He Zhonghan had a headache. He really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but in this position, he couldn't avoid it completely.
Really helpless, He Zhonghan had no choice but to ask Liu Cuicui to send a message to Liu Qiwen, hoping that Lu Ming would quickly ask the people behind him to stand up and settle the matter.
Liu Cuicui passed the message to Liu Qiwen according to his instructions, and asked her to keep every word. As for whether Lu Ming could listen to it, only God knows.
He Zhonghan didn't know what Lu Ming was thinking. He was just worried that Dai Li might cause trouble for Lu Ming if he took action.
In Lu Ming's view, what He Zhonghan thought was the best thing to do was exactly the stupidest thing to do, and it was tantamount to setting a trap for himself.
After the facilities in the original room were restored, Lu Ming returned to the suite and asked Liu Qiwen to live in the suite next door. Now she felt much more comfortable.
Although Liu Qiwen was reluctant, she had no way to object. She tried the lock on the door. It was very strong and could only be opened with a gun. She couldn't find any reason to stay in the same room with Lu Ming.
It wasn't until dinner time that Liao Zhengwen, the general manager of Jinling Hotel, showed up.
As soon as he entered the room, he quickly clasped his fists and bowed, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Lu, please don't be offended. I just came back from Shanghai in the afternoon, so I came to say hello to you right away."
Liao Zhengwen is only in his thirties, but he is also a well-known wealthy businessman in Nanjing. However, there are big bosses behind his business, and the main profit goes to Du Yuesheng. He is just an agent, otherwise he would not be able to establish a foothold in Nanjing.
"General Manager Liao, it seems that you are very wealthy. We haven't seen you for a few days and you don't take me seriously anymore." Lu Ming sat on the sofa and sneered.
It turns out that when he was in Shanghai, this guy was so affectionate when he saw Lu Ming, he followed him like a fly and couldn't even get away.
Although Liao Zhengwen has become prosperous with the help of Du Yuesheng's power in recent years, he is still very respectful when he sees Lu Ming.
"Master Lu, please don't get me wrong. I really came back in the afternoon. The day before you came to Nanjing, I was called to Shanghai by Mr. Du. If you go back and inquire, I will never dare to lie to you.
"Liao Zhengwen cried bitterly.
Lu Ming was shocked. Did Du Yuesheng know that Mr. Jiang wanted to arrest him, so he first called Liao Zhengwen to Shanghai to avoid suspicion?
This possibility is not impossible. Everyone is a master of playing cards. When and what cards are played, they will never miss.
In the Qinghong Gang, the most cunning and good at management is Du Yuesheng. Otherwise, how could he grow from a fruit shop clerk to a gang giant?
When it comes to Du Yuesheng's conduct as a human being, he can truly be called a two-faced hero.
Du Yuesheng is a complex person. He seems to be gentle and gentle, but in fact he is ruthless. He is obviously working for the tiger, but he still cares about his family and country.
His life is legendary. He started out as a smoker and gambler, and has been involved in various industries including entertainment, culture, education, finance, and news.
Du Yuesheng was well versed in the red circles, underworld, business circles, and political circles. He was on good terms with the Kuomintang and agreed with the Communist Party's views on certain issues.
The key is that on the big issue of right and wrong, the fight against Japan, Du Yuesheng was magnanimous and showed extraordinary national integrity.
"Why did Mr. Du ask you to go to Shanghai?" Lu Ming asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"That's what happened. One of Mr. Du's film studios wanted to make a movie called "Liyuan Spring and Autumn" and asked me to invest in it, so I have been following the director in selecting actors for the past two days."
As he spoke, he caught sight of Liu Qiwen standing next to Lu Ming, and immediately smiled coquettishly: "Girl, do you want to be a movie star? If you do, I'm sure I can make you the most popular character."
Son."
Before Liu Qiwen could react, Lu Ming was so angry that he laughed and cursed: "Are you really capable of poaching me?"
"Master Lu, I'm not poaching. This girl is ruining her beauty by not acting in movies." Liao Zhengwen said while facing Lu Ming, still looking at Liu Qiwen from the corner of his eye.
"Okay, stop acting with me here, I don't blame you." Lu Ming sighed.
Liao Zhengwen did learn from his teacher's tact, but unfortunately he didn't have his teacher's character. Du Yuesheng did not gain a foothold in Shanghai by relying on tact.
"Don't dare, don't dare. If Master Lu needs anything, just give him orders directly." Liao Zhengwen complimented.
"Does Mr. Du know everything about me?" Lu Ming asked.
"Sir, I know, and I called the old man for you. He said, you don't have any problems." Liao Zhengwen came here just to convey this sentence.
"You dare to come back only after Mr. Du expressed his stance, right?" Lu Ming snorted coldly.
Everyone knows that Du Yuesheng has a close relationship with Mr. Jiang. In his early years, Mr. Jiang was also a gang member in Shanghai and had a high seniority.
Liao Zhengwen said that Du Yuesheng called Mr. Jiang about him, and Lu Ming believed it.
Du Yuesheng was extremely smart, and he had to be careful when dealing with favors. He made this call to Mr. Jiang because he was sure that Lu Ming would not have any serious problems this time.
Of course, this favor was not for Lu Ming, but for Sheng Youde.
In any case, Du Yuesheng's intervention at this time would be more effective than Sheng Youde's intervention, because Du Yuesheng is not a party involved.
Not long after, the waiter brought the dining table and brought food and wine.
Originally, Liao Zhengwen wanted to invite Lu Ming and Lu Ming to the restaurant for dinner. Lu Ming said that it was not convenient for him to go out of this room to eat and drink, so Liao Zhengwen immediately had a dining table brought in and a banquet was set up in the room.
Liao Zhengwen accompanied the two of them to eat and drink, constantly offering wine and food, and generously said that he would be responsible for all Lu Ming's expenses here.
Lu Ming said calmly: "Forget it, I can still afford this amount of money, and I don't want to owe you and Mr. Du any favors."
"Master Lu, what exactly did you commit this time? I heard from Mr. Du that you didn't commit anything. Why did the Military Justice Department deal with you like this?" Liao Zhengwen asked while his ears were warm from the wine.
He also asked Du Yuesheng, but Du Yuesheng said that there was nothing wrong at all. The old man might want to beat Lu Ming, but he was confused. The beating was a bit too much.
"I don't even know what I did. Maybe I was too enthusiastic about the party-state affairs, and ended up doing bad things with good intentions." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
No matter who he treats now, he will always treat this as a caliber. He has done nothing wrong, he just did bad things with good intentions. At worst, he will not use this leisurely intention in the future.
The bad thing happened not to him, but to Kang Ze. Thinking of this, he felt a little sorry for Kang Ze. This time he had dragged Kang Ze into the water.
However, when he thought about the twenty thousand silver dollars given to Kang Ze, he felt balanced in his heart. Kang Ze had taken this huge sum of money and should help him shoulder some responsibilities.
Lu Ming was not worried about Kang Ze at all. This guy was Mr. Jiang's confidant, and Mr. Jiang would not be harsh on him.
"By the way, Master Lu, you haven't read the newspaper in the past two days, have you?" Liao Zhengwen asked carefully.
"What, what happened in Shanghai?" Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
"It's nothing. It's just that the securities market has great fluctuations. It seems that many people are selling Sheng's Industrial shares." Liao Zhengwen said.
"Sell Sheng's stocks?" Lu Ming frowned, this was an ominous sign.
Sheng's Industrial's stock has always been the most popular stock on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. As long as someone sells it, no matter how high the price is, someone will buy it immediately. There has never been a situation where it was sold.
"Mr. Du said that it seems that someone is short-selling against Sheng." Liao Zhengwen said.
"Who has such great ability to short-sell the Sheng family?" Lu Ming was surprised.
"I don't know about this, it seems to be a certain consortium." Liao Zhengwen said.
"Is the phone in my room connected?" Lu Ming asked.
"I'll connect you this afternoon and you can use it at any time. I'll send you some newspapers later," Liao Zhengwen said.
Liao Zhengwen knew that Lu Ming wanted to make a phone call. After dinner, he couldn't stay long, so he made an excuse and left. Not long after, he sent someone to deliver a stack of newspapers, which were all major newspapers in Shanghai published in the past few days.
As expected, many reports in newspapers had a negative impact on Sheng's industry, exaggerating that Sheng was being investigated by the government, involved in major arms cases, etc.
There is even news that Lu Ming has been formally arrested by the Nanjing authorities, and it is also pointed out that Lu Ming is the second-in-line successor and chief legal advisor of Sheng's industry.
Lu Ming smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from these reports.
He never expected that the trouble he caused would actually affect Sheng's industry.
