"Hey! Isn't this Section Chief Ming? Why are you so free today and come to our place?" As soon as Li Qiang stepped into the Luo Mansion, the good-hearted Director Zhu immediately came over to greet him, "If you don't tell me, I won't
You know, you must be here to see our Miss Gu, right?"
Li Qiang couldn't help but frown, "If I guessed correctly, you're going to say 'what a coincidence', right?"
Director Zhu chuckled after hearing this, "As expected of Section Chief Ming, you have already guessed this. Today is the day when the Jiangnan Ship Merchants Association elects a new president. Miss Gu went to the Shanghai Hotel early in the morning."
After hearing what he said, Li Qiang suddenly heard that on the "Tom", the fat man who was used by Nan Zao Yunzi to scare the monkeys seemed to be the president of the Jiangnan Ship Merchants Association. But counting the days, the head of the former president was...
Before the seventh capital was over, those guys were hurriedly trying to elect a new guild leader. If Izumi had known about it, the fat man would probably be furious.
After a few simple greetings, Li Qiang was about to say goodbye and leave. However, after walking a few steps, he turned back as if he suddenly remembered something and said to Director Zhu: "By the way, Director Zhu, I heard that you have a sister.
Working on No. 76?"
Director Zhu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then replied truthfully: "That's right, but my sister-in-law is only responsible for the listening work of the radio station on No. 76... You suddenly mentioned her, did she get into some trouble?"
"That's not true. I just heard that your sister is a talented person in telecommunications, so I wanted to ask Director Zhu to help me when she has time to ask her if she is interested in coming over to help me."
"Thanks to the favor of Section Chief Ming, I will definitely help you bring your words."
"I'll excuse you then, see you later!"
"See you!"
After leaving Luo Mansion, Li Qiang rushed to Shanghai Hotel without stopping.
At this time, the first stage of the election meeting seemed to have come to an end, and it was just during the break.
Although there were people coming and going in the venue, Li Qiang quickly located Haitang's position among the chaotic crowd and quickly walked over.
"Why are you here?" Haitang said slightly surprised when she saw Li Qiang.
However, before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man opposite couldn't help but asked: "Miss Lu, who is this?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help but be stunned. When he saw the appearance of the person who spoke clearly, he couldn't help being surprised.
Upon seeing this, Haitang immediately covered him up, "Shibo, let me introduce you to him. He is the Mingqiang I told you, my fiancé!"
After saying that, he took Li Qiang's arm very naturally.
"So you are the young man that Haitang keeps talking about! You are indeed a talented person, not bad!"
At this time, Li Qiang had recovered from the brief shock and said humbly: "Thank you very much. I have heard about Mr. Gu for a long time, and I am really lucky to meet him today!"
"Oh?" The man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Do you recognize me?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "If you don't even recognize the famous Gu Minzhang and Gu Shipwang, wouldn't I, the supervisory section chief, have failed miserably?"
"So, Section Chief Ming is targeting me?" Gu Minzhang narrowed his eyes and asked with a half-smile.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, Mr. Gu, I just have a slightly better memory than ordinary people. Not to mention that you will be the vice chairman of the Economic Committee in the near future, but you are instrumental in promoting Chairman Wang's return to Nanjing.
A series of dazzling operations are already impressive and admirable enough, aren’t they?”
Hearing this, Gu Minzhang laughed, then turned to Haitang and said, "Girl, you have good taste!"
"Of course!" Haitang said proudly.
"In that case, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, he went on his own.
Although he felt that Gu Minzhang's behavior was a bit strange, Li Qiang had no intention of thinking about it at this time, so he pulled Haitang to a deserted corner and told her the information that Acheng had brought back.
"So, you suspect that Nakajima Nariko's target is the Black Dragon Society?"
"That's right! It is said that the Black Dragon Society is having a serious quarrel with the military in Japan. In addition, in recent years, the Black Dragon Society has been almost all-pervasive and has been frantically infiltrating the military, government and business circles. I am afraid that this time the military was forced to give in.
Nariko Nakajima assigned such a task. How likely is this to you?"
"It's very big!" Haitang said with certainty, "And if we make further speculations, then Nanzuo Yunzi's investigation on the Tom, which ended in a tail-end, and his adjustment of the mission target for Acheng, these two strange actions are also
That makes sense."
"Well, now that the prediction has been made, we should verify it next." After saying that, Li Qiang lowered his voice and whispered...
At the same time, in an ordinary cafe on Chengdu Road, Minglou and Uncle Li were sitting in a private room opposite each other, and Cheng was sitting cautiously on the seat opposite the private room, carefully paying attention to the surrounding situation.
"To be honest, your reaction was much calmer than I expected." Minglou took the lead in breaking the silence and spoke proactively.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "I was just pretending to be calm. To be honest, I was quite surprised. I thought..."
"Why do you think you do? Think I'm a traitor like that Xu He?"
"Yes!" Uncle Li said without concealment.
However, Minglou didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter. After all, in our industry, we are walking in the gray area between black and white. Being misunderstood is normal, and I have long been used to it. Okay, let's stop talking here.
!I invite you out today mainly for three things: the first thing is to establish contact with your group and officially take over the leadership of the 'fisherman' as the latent group; the second thing is to hope that your group can immediately respond to
The Aijingshan Mine in Lishui County has launched a secret investigation; as for this last matter, I just want to ask for your opinion."
"My opinion?" Uncle Li couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and said very confused, "What on earth is going on?"
"Although we have never met, I also know that you have had a lot of dealings with my younger brother Mingtai, so I would like to hear your opinion. Is it possible to develop him to join the organization?"
"Are you talking about instigating rebellion?" Seeing Minglou nodding slightly, Uncle Li continued, "I have to say that your brother is not only extremely alert, but also has a sincere heart to serve the country. His skills are also good, and he is also your brother, sir.
, to be honest, he is indeed a good candidate for development, but even so, in my opinion, it is not easy to instigate him, let alone do it too hastily, otherwise it will definitely be counterproductive."
Unexpectedly, Uncle Li's attitude was the same as that of Acheng. If Acheng hadn't been by his side all the time, Minglou might have mistakenly thought that the two of them had passed the Qi in advance.
After a brief period of confusion, Minglou nodded and said, "Okay, I will consider this matter carefully. However, the investigation of the mine is our top priority, and we must complete this task as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
After coming out of the cafe, Uncle Li went to a bookstore he often frequented. After entering the door, he immediately walked to a small corner and carefully rummaged through the piles of old newspapers on the floor.
The shopkeeper didn't say anything, he just silently placed a stack of old, moldy newspapers next to Uncle Li and walked away.
After a while, he took a pile back from the inner room and said, "Some of the old newspapers from twenty years ago are here. The ones I don't have here are probably all used book and newspaper shops in Shanghai. Where are you looking for?"
A year’s worth of news?”
Uncle Li smiled: "To be honest with the boss, I am a fan of collecting the first issues of newspapers. No matter what type of newspaper, I will keep the first printing or the first issue."
"I understand, I understand, there is such a saying, just like those who collect stamps. But if you search like this, you have to find the year of the monkey, the horse and the moon?"
Uncle Li looked at the piles of newspapers on the ground, thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, you can sell it to me by the pound, and I will buy it back and look for it later."
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant after hearing this, "That's it...if my newspaper is sold by the pound, then I will lose money."
"Shopkeeper, if you leave this useless newspaper alone, you will suffer some losses and sell it to me. I am just a poor teacher with little salary and just a little hobby. Look, how about you fulfill my wish?
, it’s a dime a pound, let me thank you, how about it?”
"A dime a pound?" After hearing this, the shopkeeper thought about it secretly in his mind, and then finally nodded and agreed.
Uncle Li hurriedly stood up and bowed to the shopkeeper, saying usefully: "Thank you, shopkeeper!"
After saying that, he paid the money by the kilogram and left happily holding the two piles of old newspapers...
It was night, and the pavilion of Su's Medical Center was filled with old newspapers from twenty years ago. Uncle Li concentrated on the news headlines in each newspaper, looking for them one by one.
It wasn't until I saw a news article with the title "Unidentified woman sacrificed her life to save others and got into a car accident" that my eyes suddenly stopped.
"Is that you?" After muttering to himself quietly, Uncle Li read the content of the report more carefully with an extremely sad mood, and when the names of Ming Jing and Ming Lou appeared,
In front of him, the mystery that had been bothering him for twenty years was finally solved.
The roaring car, the shocked Ming brothers and sisters, the woman who sacrificed her life to save others, the toddler and the pool of bright red blood on the ground, even though twenty years have passed, everything is so real, so
It's heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
However, even so, Uncle Li's eyes were only slightly moist, and he did not shed tears, because his tears had long dried up over the years.
After calming down for a while, Uncle Li picked up the newspaper again and continued to read it, as if he wanted to find something in it.
Soon, Uncle Li's eyes were firmly attracted by a missing person notice issued by the Ming family, and then he suddenly recalled the scene when Ming Lou asked for his opinion in the cafe, and his mind unconsciously
A thought came to my mind: Could it be that...he already knows everything?
…
In the room, Mingtai was leaning on the bedside, reading a fashion magazine, when he saw A Cheng opened the door and walked in without even knocking.
He was so frightened that he quickly stuffed the magazine under his pillow, picked up the copy of Dante's "Divine Comedy" and pretended to read it.
"You look good! How are you feeling?"
"I think I'm almost good!"
"Really? I think you are very ill, and you didn't even know you had knocked down the book!" After speaking, Cheng ruthlessly took out the magazine Mingtai had hidden under his pillow and said in a preaching manner,
"You said you can't even hide anything! I really don't know how you graduated."
Mingtai asked unconvincingly, "Who asked you to come in without knocking?"
Before he finished speaking, Acheng looked solemn and said seriously: "My young master, can you not be so naive? Do you think the Japanese and those traitorous spies will tell you about those broken rules?"
"Okay, okay! Brother Acheng, having an older brother at home is enough to annoy me. Just stop talking about me. I know it's wrong. Isn't it okay?" As he said that, Mingtai's eyes fell on Acheng.
He held the two cigarettes in his hand and said with a smile, "What are these, for me?"
"Otherwise?" Acheng smiled and cursed angrily, "I just collected it from the customs, here it is for you! But I have something to say first, you have to collect it yourself. If I let the eldest sister know, I won't
admittedly."
"I know! Thanks, Brother Acheng!" Just as he was talking, Mingtai suddenly noticed the stamp No. 76 on the cigarette, and then asked very strangely, "Brother Acheng, this cigarette is not
Is it a government exclusive? Why is it still stamped with No. 76? Do they sell it too?"
"No. 76 is not responsible for selling, it is only responsible for transportation. Only after it is stamped can it enter and exit the port." As he spoke, Cheng lowered his voice deliberately, "Don't you know? No. 76 colluded with high-level people in the Chongqing government to smuggle in-demand commodities.
, cigarettes, red wine and everything else are sold.”
Mingtai was shocked when he heard this and asked in disbelief: "Really?"
"What do you think!"
Mingtai Dang was extremely angry, "Now that the front lines are in such a state of war, they are still trying to make money for the country..."
Acheng curled his lips and said, "Perhaps they really don't care about how the war will turn out! All they care about is their own wallets. It's no wonder, business comes and goes, and the supplies brought by the war
In short supply, both sides need to be mutually beneficial and complementary. Zhou Fohai has a close relationship with Director Dai of the Military Command Bureau. Mingtai, you are just looking at flowers in the fog, and you are finally separated by one layer!"
As soon as these words came out, Mingtai fell into silence. Acheng also stopped and stood up and said: "Okay, I'm leaving."
But before he could reach the door, Mingtai reached out to him and asked for a lighter.
Ah Cheng then said "Oh" and took out the lighter from his pocket. He warned meaningfully: "It is best not to carry this lighter with you. It is too heavy and leaks easily. If you are not careful, it will burn."
Own."
"Understood."
However, shortly after Cheng left, Mingtai's door rang again...
