"Mantie is too arrogant. We must give them an explanation. Our two brothers can't just die inexplicably." Dai Li said sincerely.
Lu Ming, who was listening on the sidelines, was disturbed. Could it be that Dai Li has close ties with the Japanese?
This is not surprising. Many officials in the Republic of China government had connections with the Japanese, some were doing business, and some were directly pro-Japanese.
Lu Ming was no exception, but the diplomat Kenda he knew was an alternative in the eyes of the Japanese.
After Dai Li put down the phone, he told Lu Ming that he was going to formally negotiate with the Japanese and that they must give an explanation.
Lu Ming just nodded without comment.
In fact, Lu Ming did not agree with this diplomatic method of negotiation in his heart. He wanted another method, which was blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
This time he made Ozawa and others retreat by laughing and scolding, but he was forced by the situation at that time. Now that he is back in Shanghai and on his own territory, how can he just talk and be done with it?
Is that still a man?
Lu Ming drank a cup of tea and left in a hurry.
Dai Li wanted to see him off, but before he could say anything, Lu Ming had already gone downstairs.
Lu Ming was holding back his anger and drove directly to Caobang. An Gong and An Gong sat in his car as bodyguards.
When he came to Caobang, he saw Ning Zetao and Yuan Mingzhu who looked worried.
As soon as Yuan Mingzhu saw him, she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"Don't cry. I'm back. I will definitely be able to solve this matter and rescue Miss Xin'er."
Ning Zetao said: "Do you have any suspicion in your mind?"
"Yes, the biggest suspect is the Japanese. They may have wanted to force me out of Nanjing, but they ambush me halfway, so they captured Miss Xin'er as a hostage." Lu Ming said.
It is suspected that the Japanese were ambushed, and this reasoning certainly makes sense.
However, Dai Li's suspicion cannot be completely ruled out for the time being, but without conclusive evidence, we cannot tell Ning Zetao this yet.
If we have to deal with Dai Li in the future, he will have to do it, not Ning Zetao, otherwise it will bring disaster to the Caogang.
"Mingzhu, don't worry, tell me how it happened." Lu Ming helped Mingzhu sit down and whispered.
Yuan Mingzhu wiped away her tears and told him what happened bit by bit.
The day before yesterday, Ning Xiner wanted to go to Paramount to dance, so Mingzhu went with her. The two of them were not careless, and they even brought four gunmen as bodyguards.
When we arrived at Paramount, everything was normal. After dancing two dances, Mingzhu lost interest, so she sat aside and drank Coke.
After Ning Xiner finished dancing a few dances, she wanted to go to the bathroom. Mingzhu didn't accompany her, so she went with the two gunmen.
The two gunmen were waiting outside the bathroom, but they couldn't wait for Ning Xiner to come out, so they panicked, so a gunman hurriedly came to Yuan Mingzhu.
After Yuan Mingzhu entered the bathroom, she searched all over the bathroom. There was not even a trace of Ning Xiner. There was no one in the bathroom and no trace was left.
So they hurried to find the boss of Paramount. The boss of Paramount was shocked when he heard about it and immediately brought people over to check it out.
After careful inspection, I finally found a window leading to the outside behind a barrier in the bathroom. The iron fence above had obviously been pried open.
So the owner of Paramount notified Ning Zetao and reported the case to the police station.
After Zhang Ziyang received the information, he urgently brought people over to inspect the scene. He also asked people near Paramount to ask if they had seen anything unusual.
After a day, interviews with nearby residents ended, and no one saw or heard anything unusual.
Ning Zetao initially thought that his friends on the road were seeking revenge, so he questioned Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin, Gu Zhuxuan and others one by one. These people all swore on their ancestral graves that they had not done such immoral things.
Ning Zetao believed what they said. The rules on the road were that you could take revenge on the men of your family, but you could not touch other people's women, old people or children.
Gangsters hate bullying the weak and do not despise them. A man can be ruthless, but he must also be brave enough to act.
So Ning Zetao began to doubt the Japanese. Only the Japanese could be so wicked. They had no scruples at all and would do anything to achieve their goals.
But suspicion is suspicion, there is no evidence at all, and there is no way to negotiate with the Japanese.
As a gang member, Ning Zetao has many taboos. If he gets too close to the government, he will be accused of being a hawk of the government. If he deals with foreigners, especially Japanese, he will inevitably be accused of being a traitor.
Ning Zetao had no choice but to ask Yuan Mingzhu to call Lu Ming and ask Lu Ming to come back quickly. He knew that Lu Ming had a way to deal with the Japanese.
Ning Zetao believed that this was retaliation by the Japanese after the arsenal was robbed, on the grounds that Caobang transported the robbed supplies, but he could not figure out why the Japanese would kidnap Ning Xiner, who had nothing to do with the incident.
Maybe it's easier to attack girls. Of course the Japanese know that Ning Xiner's status as a princess in the family, and kidnapping her will naturally alarm the entire Cao Gang, and even the entire Shanghai gang organization.
Lu Ming told Ning Zetao about the Japanese ambushing him halfway, which also shows from the side that the Japanese may have formulated a complete plan for this.
Kidnapping Ning Xiner forced Lu Ming to leave Nanjing and return to Shanghai, making Lu Ming willingly walk into their trap.
"The Japanese kidnapped you on the road? Are you hurt?" Yuan Mingzhu was immediately frightened. She grabbed Lu Ming's arm tightly and looked at him carefully.
"I'm fine. They wanted to capture me alive, so they didn't shoot at my car." Lu Ming comforted Mingzhu.
"Well, that makes sense. Their purpose in arresting Xin'er was to force you to return to Shanghai and then capture you alive on the way. But why did they have to attack you?"
Ning Zetao didn't know the secret.
Lu Ming was planning and directing this incident from beginning to end. Ning Zetao thought that it was really people from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea who hijacked the arms in retaliation for the Japanese.
Ning Zetao also didn't know that sending the arms to the Jiangxi National Army was just a cover-up. Lu Ming's real purpose was to send the arms to the Communist Party in a different way.
"The Japanese have a lot of hatred against me. Didn't I kidnap a few Japanese two years ago because of Mu Yi and Ziyuan? The leader of those Japanese is the brother of the person who is attacking me now. That person's name is
Ozawa Seishiro, he later committed suicide, and his brother now puts this account on my head and wants revenge." Lu Ming said calmly.
"When you said that, I understood that the Japanese were settling old and new scores together." Ning Zetao seemed to have straightened out the ins and outs of this matter.
"Have you kidnapped Japanese people? Why didn't I know?" Yuan Mingzhu asked in surprise.
"What happened a few years ago, only my old man knows about it. I just didn't expect that what happened a few years ago would lead to what happened today." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
"This little Japanese is very smart. He knew about your relationship with the Cao Gang, so he resorted to such a trick. From now on, our Cao Gang and the little Japanese are at odds with each other." Ning Zetao said with emotion.
"Brother, don't worry. The Japanese won't do anything to kill Miss Xin'er. They should just use her as a lure to lure me out of Nanjing. Now that I'm back, they should target me. Maybe they will be able to do it in a few days.
Miss Fang Xin'er is back."
Lu Ming thought that the story of Yuan Ziyuan's kidnapping was roughly the same, and he felt a little relieved.
Yuan Ziyuan was kidnapped by the Japanese for half a year, but she was not abused in any way. Instead, she was fed and fed every day. Of course, Yuan Ziyuan provided the money.
If Ning Xiner was really kidnapped by the Japanese, it would probably follow the same pattern as last time.
Ning Zetao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said. Now he could only hope that Lu Ming would use his tricks to save his sister.
Ning Zetao knew that Lu Ming had a relationship with the Japanese and had Japanese friends with whom he could talk. In addition, Lu Ming was also a figure in the government and had a high social status. It was much easier for him to come forward to do things.
"Lu Ming, I'm counting on you to rescue my sister."
"Don't worry, Miss Xin'er is also my best friend, I will do my best," Lu Ming said.
"Sister Xin'er... loves me more than my own sister..." Mingzhu said and started to shed tears again.
"Oh, Mingzhu, I know this. My godmother treats you as my daughter, and my eldest brother treats you as my younger sister. How could I not know this?" Lu Ming wiped Mingzhu's tears and hugged her again.
"I'm waiting for you to send Sister Xin'er back." Mingzhu said while twisting in Lu Ming's arms.
Lu Ming came out of Ning Zetao's place and went to a secret place where he met Lao Dong and An Yi.
The two of them are now hiding in the residence of Ning Zetao's mother. Only Ning Zetao's brother, sister and Mingzhu can come here. No one from the other gangs is allowed to enter without permission.
