"They still want to investigate you? Haven't they already detained you for more than ten days and now they agree to let you go to work?" Yuan Mingzhu opened her eyes wide and said she couldn't understand.
"Mr. Jiang suspected that I planned the arms hijacking case. He couldn't find the "murderer", so he wanted to find a scapegoat. Maybe he couldn't explain it to the Japanese." Lu Ming guessed.
Since the Japanese believe that this matter is related to Lu Ming, they will definitely put pressure on the government to hand him over.
He didn't know the specific situation. He was just guessing. He had to go back to Shanghai and ask Eikichi Kenta face to face to find out.
Lu Ming didn't think he had escaped this disaster. Mr. Jiang's doubts made him feel more crisis-ridden. It seemed that no matter how careful he was, he would always leave some traces.
A wise man will make mistakes every time he thinks about it. How can you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? You should be more careful in the future.
Lu Ming had a vague feeling that Dai Li had not let him go. On the surface, he took the initiative to show kindness to him, but secretly he was probably still investigating him.
Mr. Jiang directly stated that his problem has not been completely solved, and the hateful Japanese are also watching behind him.
Lu Ming looked safe and secure, but in fact he was facing an ambush from all sides.
However, Lu Ming didn't care very much. It was not that easy to find new evidence in old cases, not to mention that the evidence was all in the hands of the Communist Party. Even Dai Li, despite his great ability, could not obtain the evidence.
Speaking of the future, the arms issue will definitely not happen again. Lu Ming is not an arms dealer and cannot be responsible for the supply of weapons to the Communist Party's armed forces.
Lu Ming sat down and called Sheng Youde and told him that he had temporarily resumed work, but he had to work in Nanjing. Sheng Youde had no reaction after hearing this.
Then Lu Ming mentioned the issue of funding, and Sheng Youde smiled and said: "Since they have given you face, we must also give them face. You can send it to them tomorrow. If something like this happens again, it will not be temporarily suspended, but
It’s gone forever.”
"Tell Mu Yi and ask her to inform all her friends in Shanghai that I'm fine," Lu Ming said.
"There is no problem here in Shanghai. I heard that the Japanese are targeting you, so you should be careful." Sheng Youde said.
"The Japanese have lost their minds. Why are they targeting me? I didn't provoke them?" Lu Ming asked tentatively.
"I'm negotiating with them, but they can't come up with any explanation and firmly deny that this happened. It may have something to do with the fact that you kidnapped a few of them last time. The Japanese are very vindictive. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter.
Solve it." Sheng Youde smiled.
Lu Ming wanted to ask something more, but Sheng Youde had already hung up the phone.
Lu Ming held the empty phone receiver awkwardly for a while, then put it down.
"What happened to the Japanese? Why didn't the gourd rise again before the gourd was pressed down? It will never end." Yuan Mingzhu shouted angrily.
"The Japanese can only take advantage in China, how can they suffer any loss? The Japanese and I have established a good relationship." Lu Ming said to himself.
"What beam and rafter, Lu Ming, let's quit this job, resign and go home." Yuan Mingzhu said while holding Lu Ming's hand.
"The official status is not controlled by others. This door is not easy to enter, but it is even harder to exit." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"What's the point of not letting him resign?" Yuan Mingzhu asked angrily.
"There are two people who will not agree. One is the old man, and the other is Old Jiang." Lu Ming sighed.
"They all want to take advantage of you, but they still don't treat you well. Why are our lives so miserable?" Yuan Mingzhu said sadly.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about fate. There are not many people in this world who are better off than them. They are probably only the royal families of various countries and the royal families."
But people at high places often have more troubles, unless you stay out of it or see through the world of mortals.
Lu Ming thought for a while, then called Yuan Ziyuan and asked her to officially go to work tomorrow and pay the salary from the Shanghai station first, and he would do the rest at the headquarters.
"How can I pay you if you don't come back to sign the bill?" Yuan Ziyuan said.
"You go ahead and I'll re-sign when I return to Shanghai in a few days," Lu Ming said.
"Are you okay, can you come back?" Only then did Yuan Ziyuan react.
"It's okay for the time being. I have to stay in Nanjing for a while and handle some official business at the headquarters." Lu Ming explained the basic situation.
"That's fine. As long as I let you resume work, it means everything is fine." Yuan Ziyuan said excitedly.
"It's not that I don't have big problems, I don't even have small problems. I'm not afraid that someone will throw dirty water at me. At worst, I will quit my job and become a reporter for my Washington Post." Lu Ming laughed.
He dared to conclude that all outbound calls from Jinling Hotel were monitored. All calls had to go through the Nanjing Telephone Headquarters. It was too easy to monitor the phone lines at the main office.
If Dai Li didn't even think of this, he wouldn't be worthy of leading the Fuxing Society.
Lu Ming called An Gonggen again and asked him to thoroughly investigate the Koreans in Shanghai to see if there were any hidden members of the Communist Party of Korea.
An Gonggen is an old agent, and he cooperates with Lu Ming very well, and you can understand what is going on as soon as you hear it.
"Sir, when will you come back? Brothers are all looking forward to it."
"I'll go back in a few days. Please take the time to come over and bring my car over. I want to use it. The key is in the drawer of my office." Lu Ming said.
"Then I will go to Nanjing to deliver a car to you tomorrow." An Gonggen said.
"It's not that urgent. You need to arrange for your men to cast the net out first, and wait until I come back to close the net." Lu Ming was hinting to the other party not to act blindly, and to wait until he returns to Shanghai to make any decision.
An Gonggen knew about Lu Ming's situation in Nanjing, so he didn't say anything more. He just said "See you in Nanjing" and hung up the phone.
"You go to work every day now, what should I do?" Yuan Mingzhu was a little worried.
"An Gonggen is coming over in the next two days. You can go back to Shanghai with him first," Lu Ming said.
"But I can't bear to leave you." Yuan Mingzhu said with a little pout.
"I go to work every day and have a lot of things to do. It's boring for you to stay in the hotel alone. There's no one to go shopping with you. How about I find someone to accompany you?" Lu Ming said.
"Forget it, I'd better go back. I can't get used to being in Nanjing. I miss Sister Xin'er too. Can't you go back to Shanghai too?" Yuan Mingzhu said sarcastically.
"I will run in both directions for the time being. Mr. Jiang agreed that I can go back to Shanghai if I have something to do, but I must return to Nanjing as soon as possible, so there is room for it." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Lu Ming planned to issue the funds first thing when he got to work, so that everyone could breathe a sigh of relief so that he could return to Shanghai safely over the weekend.
He still had something to worry about in Shanghai, mainly the safety of Mr. Dong and An Yi.
At present, we can only let them continue to hide in the Caobang stronghold and cannot rush back to Wanguo Apartment.
Weng Bailing will not give up. As long as Lu Ming is not in Shanghai, it will be very dangerous for Mr. Dong and An Yi to stay in Wanguo Apartment.
In addition, he also wanted to confirm from An Yi whether the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the underground party really wanted to return to Shanghai. If it was true, it would be too stupid, and he must try to stop them.
However, thinking of An Yi's stubborn look and unyielding expression, Lu Ming felt a headache again. Mr. Dong married such a wife, it was enough for him to drink two pots.
In the afternoon, Mr. Jiang took time to summon Dai Li again.
"I will temporarily let Lu Ming resume his work and let him work in the headquarters building first, mainly to solve your funding problem." Mr. Jiang said.
"The principal is wise, the students already know it." Dai Li said excitedly.
He had already heard the recording of the call coming from the telephone exchange.
"Deploy four refined operators to protect Lu Ming personally and keep an eye on the Japanese in Nanjing. You must not let the Japanese attack him." Mr. Jiang said in a stern tone.
"Commissioner, are the surveillance activities around Jinling Hotel still as usual?" Dai Li asked for instructions.
"Of course, it's still the same as before. The monitoring and protection of Lu Ming are equally important and cannot be relaxed. In addition, the activities to identify his identity must be accelerated. I will use him for a big thing soon, and his identity screening must be completed."
Mr. Jiang has already thought about how to deal with Lu Ming's matter, and everything is going according to plan.
"Yes, principal." Dai Li bowed and exited.
Dai Li returned to the Fuxing Society headquarters building and first communicated with He Zhonghan, and then the two of them selected four refinement officers as Lu Ming's bodyguards.
"None of us get this kind of treatment," He Zhonghan said with a smile.
"Like a crab with its hands and feet trapped, I don't envy it at all." Dai Li said with a bitter smile.
"Yunong, don't we have people on the Communist Party side? Isn't it difficult to determine whether Lu Ming has any contact there?" He Zhonghan asked.
"Sir, our people are not high enough to have access to the highest-level confidential documents. If Lu Ming is really connected with the Communist Party, his level must be the highest." Dai Li said.
