Zhang Ziyang is like a butterfly at this moment. Due to his special status, flapping his wings will definitely cause an uproar.
A series of scandals will appear in the Shanghai newspapers, and various rumors and gossips will add fuel to the fire: the detective of the Shanghai Police Department actually colluded with terrorists, and carried out the largest terrorist attack in the Japanese Concession since the opening of Shanghai.
The Japanese will definitely not give up. After public opinion is enough, they will take action. Maybe, Zhang Ziyang will be extradited to the Japanese, which will be a dead end.
Thinking of the series of consequences that followed, Lu Ming felt very happy. To put it bluntly, Lu Ming spared no expense to save Zheng Chunyue because he wanted to protect Zhang Ziyang. Otherwise, he would not necessarily use all kinds of radical methods.
Things may have just begun. Now he is sitting alone in the spotlight, facing the Japanese, Sheng Youde, and the killer named Ozawa Seishiro he wants to find out.
Lu Ming sat on the sofa and slowly drank the wine in the glass.
After tossing around for half the night, the feeling of relaxation and sleep came over him. He lay on the bed and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.
He was awakened by the rapid ringing of the phone. He looked at the phone and even felt a sense of fear. Could something bad be happening again?
He picked up the phone and found it was Sheng Youde calling. He only said a brief sentence: "Come here."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly, guessing that Sheng Youde knew about the riot at the police station last night, and it was reasonable for him to receive a lesson.
He indeed used Sheng Youde's banner as a tiger skin to successfully rescue Zheng Chunyue. Just based on his face, the police chief would definitely be inferior.
Lu Ming finished washing up, went to the street to have breakfast, and called a taxi to go to Sheng Mansion. He was mentally prepared to be punished along the way.
The housekeeper led him to the study. When they met, Sheng Youde looked at him for a while and sneered: "You are very capable. You have already dared to cause trouble in the police station."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Old man, I can't help it. I can't save people without making a scene. People from the police station are arresting people randomly. It's them who are wrong, not me."
"I'm not here to comment on whether it's your fault or theirs. The police station has a glorious tradition of arresting people at will. Everyone knows this. I just want to know who the woman you desperately saved last night is?
"Sheng Youde showed his authority as a parent.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and felt that it was better to tell the truth, so he smiled and said: "She is from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. Her home is indeed a den, but she was not directly involved in the Yamato Hotel bombing."
"So the police station arrested hundreds of people, and they really arrested the right one. The others were all unjustly accused. She was the only one who was not unjustly accused and was rescued by you?" Sheng Youde thought for a while and felt
What I said was very funny.
"You can't say that. The explosion happened in the Japanese Concession. It has nothing to do with us Chinese. Why is the Shanghai Police Department working so hard? It's not just to randomly arrest more people and extort money." Although Lu Ming's words are reasonable, there are also some points.
A bit of quibbling.
"I heard that the three main criminals responsible for the Yamato Hotel bombing escaped. Now they are being hunted everywhere, but they haven't been caught yet. Could it be that you are hiding them?" Sheng Youde's words are difficult to tell whether they are true or false.
"Uh, old man, how do you know?" Lu Ming said with a bitter face.
"Hmph, how do I know? I've told you before that if there is any trouble on the ground in Shanghai, I can find out about it if I want to know about it." Sheng Youde sneered.
"They are quite pitiful and very brave. I can't just die without saving them." Lu Ming looked silly and sweet.
"I'm not saying that you shouldn't save people, but I'm saying that you shouldn't hide people in your apartment openly. You come out in such a big way. I can imagine. Do you think the Japanese people and the police station can't think of them? They just don't think so.
You dare to openly enter Wanguo's apartment to arrest people. The question now is, can you let them hide in there for the rest of their lives?"
"I also know this, but there is really no better place to put them."
"You should not resettle them locally, but should find a way to send them away, whether it is to Nanjing, Peiping, or even Northeast China. Now it is extremely difficult for them to leave Wanguo Apartment." Sheng Youde
sneered.
"Then let's wear it out slowly and see whose patience runs out first." Lu Ming said with a silly smile.
Anyway, An Gonggen and the others had food and drink in his apartment and lived well, so they were not afraid of fighting a war of attrition. However, the people watching outside were suffering in the miserable wind and rain. It was very cold and the wind was biting.
No.
"Police Chief Fu called me last night and asked you if you were entrusted by me to go to their place to recruit people. I didn't know what was going on, so I had to say yes. As a result, Lao Fu even complained to me, saying that you
The detective who beat him was severely beaten, so he obviously needs to pay for it. I asked Sheng Di to go to the police station to apologize this morning, and then sent 10,000 yuan for medical expenses."
"Are they obviously trying to blackmail you?" Lu Ming immediately became angry when he heard this.
He beat Liu Zitao badly, but it wasn't enough to pay for medical expenses. Needless to say, the 10,000 yuan must have gone into the director's pocket.
"So what? They gave us a lot of face last night. This face is worth ten thousand yuan. Understand." Sheng Youde is well versed in the laws of the world. Problems that money can solve are not problems.
"You can say that if you want. Anyway, it's only ten thousand yuan, so you have plenty of money." Lu Mingjian said with a smile.
"You idiot, I have plenty of money but I can't just throw it around. Why didn't you discuss it with me before you went to the police station yesterday?" Sheng Youde then got to the point.
"It was too urgent at the time and there was no time. If the person was taken away by the Japanese, the consequences would be too serious."
Lu Ming explained the cause and effect of the matter, and even some of the stakes. He didn't want to hide anything from Sheng Youde. If there was one person he had to trust in the relationship in Shanghai, it could only be Sheng Youde.
Germany.
"You are all too young and do not understand the world. How can you participate in this kind of thing? You are helping others with good intentions, but you are almost killed by a bomb, and then you have to help hide the main criminal. This is a loss-making business no matter how you look at it.
." Sheng Youde said with a bitter smile.
He is a businessman, and everything must be done based on profit. Not only did Lu Ming get no benefit from this matter, but he almost lost his life, and he had to wipe his ass for others afterwards. How can there be such a business in the world?
"I know, but I still want to do it." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"In the future, stay away from those desperadoes. They are pitiful and deserve sympathy, but after all, it is their business. We still have to keep a distance from them and not get involved with them." Sheng Youde warned.
"I know." Lu Ming now looked a little like a little boy who had done something wrong.
"Find a way to send them away as soon as possible and leave Shanghai. This is a time bomb, and it might explode when." Sheng Youde said.
"Wanguo Apartment has been monitored all the way, and the passage out of Shanghai is probably blocked. How can we send them away? Uncle, how about you help me?"
When Lu Ming said this, he actually knew in his heart that Sheng Youde would agree to help sooner or later. He was very clever about this kind of thing. But he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only pretend to ask.
"I won't involve myself in this matter. It's not because I'm afraid, but because I don't want to. Since it's you who caused the trouble, you can figure out a solution yourself." Sheng Youde said with a smile.
"Okay." Lu Ming looked depressed. It seemed that the time for Sheng Youde to take action hadn't come yet, so he couldn't force it.
Sheng Youde called Lu Ming over to find out the details of last night, and also to check whether Lu Ming was honest. After explaining the matter clearly, he let Lu Ming go.
"Haha, you are virtuous. This little guy is quite interesting. Good!"
After Lu Ming left, Zhang Jingjiang walked out of the inner room of Sheng Youde's study and said with a smile.
"Why don't you meet him formally?" Sheng Youde smiled.
"Don't worry, this kid is more courageous than his father. I want to observe him again."
