When I was about to get off work, the phone suddenly rang.
Liu Qiwen picked up the phone and answered it, then said to Lu Ming: "Sir, the person who is looking for you is a woman."
Lu Ming picked up the phone in front of him and called out.
"Director Lu, long time no see." A woman's voice came from the phone.
"Who is it?" Lu Ming felt that the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"Director Lu Da is such a noble man and forgets things. Didn't you send people to look for me in the streets and alleys of Shanghai a few days ago?"
"What? Kawashima-kun? It can't be you, right?" Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.
"Haha, Director Lu is not confident sometimes."
Yoshiko Kawashima's voice sounded different on the phone than usual, but you could still hear some of the tail notes. It was unmistakable, it was her.
The reason why Lu Ming didn't expect it to be him was because Yoshiko Kawashima had no reason to call him, but the call was made by her exactly. Which number was that?
"Uh, how did you know my phone number?" Lu Ming felt a little weird.
"Mr. Lu, you look down on people too much. You don't know what I do, right? We are each other. Don't tell me your phone number. I know how many tables and chairs there are in your room. If you want to
Don't tell me about the layout of your office." Yoshiko Kawashima chuckled.
"Kawashima-kun, although we are rivals, I have always admired your talent, but we don't have any personal relationship. It's not your style to make family calls on the phone, right?" Lu Ming's mind was now filled with questions.
"Hey, you are out of touch when you say this. Do you want to know the whereabouts of your girlfriend?" Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.
"Thank you, she was brought to the ship by your people and is now bound for Japan." Lu Ming said succinctly.
Lu Ming's answer is also a way of playing chess. I also know what you are doing. It is indeed each other.
"Oh, you are quite well-informed, but you are wrong. It was not my people who did it this time." Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.
"Kawashima-kun, it's boring for you to be so secretive. Just do it, why are you embarrassed to admit it? What comes and goes, right?" Lu Ming sneered.
"It's really not me. This time, Ms. Dujuan went to Japan to live temporarily at the invitation of the head of the Doihara secret service. It has nothing to do with me." Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.
"Don't do this, I've recorded this account for you. You should know that I, Lu Ming, am not a freeloader, and Japan is not a pure land, it is just a tiny place." Lu Ming was still angry.
, couldn't help but show ferociousness.
"Hey, don't speak so harshly. I am actually opposed to this invitation, so I went to Shanghai to show up and give you a warning. Unfortunately, you still didn't understand. Instead, you set up a net in Shanghai to catch me.
I was so scared that I quickly returned to Tianjin. Haha."
Kawashima Yoshiko's words show the perverseness of a super female agent. You can decide for yourself whether they are true or false.
"What, you mean you wanted to remind me when you went to Paramount last time?" Lu Ming said suddenly.
"Of course, I have all your information, and you should also have all mine. I believe that although we have not officially dated, we may know each other better than old friends of more than ten years. You should also know that I don't like
Dancing, I like horse riding, hunting and other activities, so why did I show up at Paramount? I’m sorry to make you think so hard.”
What Kawashima Yoshiko said is not unreasonable, and she did not forget to make a joke at the end, but why should she oppose the kidnapping of Du Juan? Does this make sense?
"Of course it won't be a good thing for you to come to Shanghai. You actually have good intentions towards Du Juan. That's really a fantasy." Lu Ming still maintained a cold tone. He was worried that he would be led by the other party and fall into a trap.
.
"Didn't you say something? Kawashima is like a vulture. Wherever she appears, it means death and unknown. You are right, but you still misunderstood what the unknown means." Yoshiko Kawashima's words were full of twists and turns.
, fighting with Lu Ming.
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Ming's head. At that time, he thought that Yoshiko Kawashima had found some information and that he came to Shanghai to spy on the meeting between the Marshal and the Soviet representatives. Who would have thought that it was related to Du Juan.
Although I can't believe what Yoshiko Kawashima said, this possibility also exists, and of course it is definitely not a good thing.
In fact, this is not Lu Ming's carelessness, because no matter from which angle you look at it, Du Juan should not be a target of the Japanese.
If Dai Li was secretly manipulating it and Weng Bailing took this opportunity to fight with him, it is still possible, but this is not the case.
This incident was obviously done by Weng Bailing in collusion with the Japanese. The mastermind was of course Japanese. Weng Bailing just took the opportunity to vent his personal anger, or he might have more plans.
If Weng Bailing participated in the kidnapping of Du Juan just for personal revenge, Lu Ming could also understand. If Weng Bailing had in-depth cooperation with the Japanese, it would become an issue of national justice.
To put it more directly, it was a matter of losing one's head, rather than a personal conflict involving a punch.
"Kawashima-kun, are you saying that the Kwantung Army was responsible for this hijacking?" Lu Ming asked. Now that Kawashima Yoshiko mentioned Doihara, the matter became even more complicated.
"They did it. I objected, but it was useless. Of course I don't object to them dealing with you. Don't understand me wrong, but I am firmly opposed to dealing with a beautiful and lovely girl like Miss Dujuan. Mr. Doihara also asked
I invite you to go to Japan and bring Miss Dujuan back, but my suggestion is that you'd better not go," Kawashima Yoshiko said.
"What do you mean Doihara? Let me go to Japan? Trap me?" Lu Ming's nerves suddenly became tense.
"It's not about trapping. Anyway, they just want you to go to Japan. This is also their original intention of forcing Ms. Dujuan to go to Japan. As for their intention of inviting you to Japan, I don't know." Kawashima Yoshiko.
smiled.
"Then why didn't they kidnap me directly in Shanghai? If they were determined to kidnap me, they might be able to succeed." Lu Ming felt a little confused.
"The political risk of kidnapping you in Shanghai is too great, and the gain outweighs the loss. Everyone knows that you have many powerful friends not only in China, but also in the United States and Japan. So if you want to go to Japan, you have to go voluntarily. So what?
In order for you to go voluntarily, I have to create a reason for you and prepare an important goal." Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.
"Then what happens if I go? I am a U.S. citizen, and even if I go to Japan, the U.S. Embassy in Japan will protect me," Lu Ming said.
"That's true, so I don't understand what Mr. Doihara means. I'm just making this call to you at the request of Mr. Doihara, which is regarded as a formal invitation. The rest is up to you."
After saying that, Yoshiko Kawashima hung up the phone.
Lu Ming held up the phone, listened to the buzzing sound coming from the phone, and then hung up the phone.
"Has it been recorded?" he asked Liu Qiwen.
"Recorded." Liu Qiwen said.
There is a large tape recorder in Lu Ming's office. For any important calls, the recording device should be turned on immediately for future inquiries.
"Sir, is it the Japanese female spy who called?" Liu Qiwen asked.
"That's her, Yoshiko Kawashima."
"But why would she call us?" Liu Qiwen also couldn't figure it out.
Not to mention that Liu Qiwen didn't understand, Lu Ming was still confused and couldn't figure it out for a while.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and immediately called Sheng Youde and told him the contents of his conversation with Yoshiko Kawashima.
"Stand still, I will find a way to deal with Du Juan. Even if she cannot be rescued and returned to China in the short term, she should be able to keep her personal safety. Don't be impulsive. It's useless for you to go to Japan." Sheng Youde said.
"I know, but I just don't understand why they want me to go to Japan." Lu Ming said.
"This is a common trick of the Japanese. It's called one to cover two, two to cover three. They will always trap someone who is useful to them." Sheng Youde said seriously.
"The Japanese are dreaming. Even if I go to Japan, will I cooperate with them? Japan really dares to think about it." Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
"Cooperation or not is another matter. They don't think so much, but they are leveraging China's foundation bit by bit. This is their starting point." Sheng Youde did see further than Lu Ming. In a few words
These words hit home the Japanese people's point of view.
"Well, since the Japanese have attacked Du Juan, is Muyi still safe in North China? I think it's better to let her go back to Shanghai." Lu Ming began to worry about Sheng Muyi's safety.
"She's fine. The Japanese won't deal with her openly, just like they won't deal with you openly. To kidnap Du Juan is to lure you into taking the bait and make you go to Japan voluntarily," Sheng Youde said.
"According to your opinion, they tried so hard to lure me to Japan. Apart from the false ones, do they have any actual purpose? Could it be related to Sheng's industry?"
Inspired by Sheng Youde, Lu Ming gradually came up with his own ideas.
"That's true, but it's very troublesome to explain. I'll explain it to you in detail later." Sheng Youde said and hung up the phone.
Lu Ming then told Zhang Ziyang, Huang Yanning and An Gonggen the news. The huge manpower network deployed in Shanghai could be stopped. Du Juan had already traveled east to Japan, and the page had been turned.
Everyone gathered together in the evening. Under Liu Qiwen's strong request, everyone agreed with her point of view. Lu Ming must stop drinking for three days to see the effects, and he can only eat well today.
"What do the Japanese want to do when they are causing trouble like this?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"Of course they have their purpose, but we still don't know what their real purpose is." Lu Ming said while drinking a glass of fresh milk.
"The Kwantung Army's hands are really long, and they have reached all the way to Shanghai." Huang Yanning said angrily.
"Could it be Sheng Di's fault? You deported him to Japan, and he wants to drag you into the water?" Zhang Ziyang asked suddenly.
"It's impossible. Although he is still valued by the Japanese, he cannot influence the thoughts of the Kwantung Army's secret service." Lu Ming felt that this possibility was unlikely.
