"No, this is not contradictory at all." Ryukawa Hihara said with a smile, "Because I am sure that the shoe prints were stepped on after the blood on the ground had completely dried!"
"What Colonel Morita means is that when Colonel Morita led his men into the electromechanical room, the spy who reported the murder did not leave, but stayed at the scene of the crime."
"Yes! This is the brilliance of that spy, but it is also the only loophole in falsely accusing Jin Shengxian of being a Soviet spy!"
At this time, the wind and rain were raging outside the car window, thunder and lightning flashed, and the flickering thunder light reflected Ryukawa Feihara's face in flickering colors at this moment. Coupled with his always calm and self-defeating expression, it made people endure it.
I can't help but feel intimidated.
At the same time, Bai Xiaonian happened to park his car steadily at the entrance of a majestic manor.
"Director Jin, let's meet at the headquarters another day!"
"Okay, see you another day!"
"Director Jin, looking at you like this, are you determined to see my father today?" After watching Bai Xiaonian leave, Gu Xiaomeng turned to Jin Shenghuo and asked with a half-smile.
When metal generates fire, one smiles and says nothing.
"Director Jin, don't blame me for talking too much. Sometimes, the more true a Buddha is, the more he looks like the King of Hell. You have to think carefully about it!"
"Don't be afraid, I told you I would take you home."
"Okay, then please come in!"
After that, the two of them walked into the depths of the manor.
"Xiaomeng is back?" As soon as he entered the door, an older woman, but because she was well-maintained, she looked like she was the same age as Gu Xiaomeng. She came over to greet her immediately, and then turned to Jin.
He made a fire and said, "Hello, sir!"
When she saw that person, Gu Xiaomeng just smiled in response, while Jin Shenghuo on the side subconsciously asked Gu Xiaomeng: "Is this...Mrs.?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard the word "Madam", Gu Xiaomeng's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "This is my father's housekeeper, Miss Zhao! She is not a Madam!"
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Gu Xiaomeng deliberately emphasized the tone of the last two words, as if he was targeting Miss Zhao, which immediately made the smile on her face stiffen.
Jin Shenghuo, who was on the side, smiled and said as if he had no intention of caring about the relationship between the two: "It turns out to be Miss Zhao. I'm sorry, but it was someone Jin who was rude, too rude..."
It was only then that the expression on Miss Zhao's face finally became more natural, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. May I ask who you are..."
"This is Director Jin of the Confidential Division of the headquarters, my immediate boss." After saying this, Gu Xiaomeng walked in on her own.
"Oh, it turns out to be Director Jin, hello! Please come in too!"
As soon as they entered the living room, Miss Zhao brought clean towels and handkerchiefs to the two of them.
Jin Shenghuo hurriedly thanked her, but Gu Xiaomeng took it as usual and casually asked: "Where's dad?"
"Sir is having breakfast in the study!" Miss Zhao immediately replied, "Xiaomeng, the change of clothes is ready and in the bedroom."
Hearing this, Jin Shenghuo couldn't help but glance at his watch subconsciously, and then asked in confusion: "Ah Xiaomeng, President Gu has been waiting for this long..."
Unexpectedly, these words made Gu Xiaomeng chuckle, "Director Jin, what you are looking at is Chinese time, but my father was no longer looking at Chinese time twenty years ago."
"Oh I got it."
"Then you can do it yourself, I'll come as soon as I can." After Gu Xiaomeng said that, she went upstairs to her room.
"Director Jin, please sit down for a while and I'll go tell the gentleman."
"Okay, time to work."
In the study, Gu Minzhang was sitting on the sofa reading the latest issue of The Times, which was published simultaneously in the Shanghai Concession.
At this moment, Miss Zhao came in with a plate of exquisite pastries and said, "Sir, Xiaomeng is back. There is a director named Jin who sent her back with her."
Hearing this, Gu Minzhang raised his eyes slightly and said, "Ah, I understand, let him wait for a while."
Miss Zhao nodded after hearing this and then withdrew.
…
The sky is getting dark.
In the pavilion, Li Ningyu was drawing something on the drawing board when she heard the sound of a door opening from downstairs, so she quickly put down the paintbrush in her hand and came downstairs, looking slightly reproachfully at the old woman who had just come back from outside.
The person said: "Mother Liu, you just came back at this time, where have you been?"
"I……"
"Okay, stop talking, hurry up and prepare dinner! Otherwise, your husband will lose his temper again when he comes back later, I will help you!" Li Ningyu said while neatly rolling up her sleeves.
However, Liu's mother still stood motionless on the spot. Now Li Ningyu was really angry, "Liu's mother, why are you still standing there in a daze?"
"Madam, actually... you don't need to be so anxious, sir..."
"Sir, what's wrong with him?"
"A new club opened on Hefang Street. My husband has been frequenting it since he found out about it. He hasn't gone home to eat for two days. He spent all his money and didn't even talk about it. He still hangs there and doesn't even call him.
Called home."
Li Ningyu couldn't help but look dim after hearing this, but she still said energetically: "So, you just paid the bill for him? But where did you get so much money?"
"What else can I do? Madam, you are not at home, so I can only use my own salary to advance it! I can't just watch my husband being thrown into the street, right?"
Hearing this, Li Ningyu's face suddenly became a little more apologetic, and her tone of voice softened, "Mama Liu, I'm so sorry. I'll repay you the money you advanced for your husband later, and you'll have more money."
Please bear with me."
"It's okay, madam. Then...I'll make dinner first."
Li Ningyu nodded, and just when she went upstairs, she accidentally saw Wu Zhiguo through the window, who was already soaked to the skin, but still standing paranoid in the rain. But even so, Li Ningyu's footsteps still did not move.
Without any hesitation, I went straight back to the room.
…
Although it was completely dark at this time, Jin Shenghuo was still waiting patiently in the living room of Gu Mansion.
When he was bored, Jin Shenghuo turned his attention to a strangely conceived architectural model on the coffee table in front of him.
At this moment, Gu Xiaomeng finally finished washing up, put on a set of dry clothes and walked downstairs, "Director Jin has a unique eye. That is the conceptual model of the German Pavilion at the Barcelona Expo, Ludwig's
work."
"I didn't expect President Gu to also like architecture." Jin Shenghuo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you that no matter which industry is the best, my father admires them and is happy to make friends with them. In fact, he has asked Mr. Ludwig to help design his business in
Newly bought country house in Germany.”
As Gu Xiaomeng spoke, he closed the curtains in the living room as if he hated such thunderstorm weather, keeping out of sight.
When he saw the huge floor-to-ceiling curtains, Jin Shenghuo couldn't help but sigh: "Monet's water lilies! Today's materials are so scarce, there are two imported prints like this, and the colors and patterns are not ordinary, it is really...
It’s an eye-opener for Mr. Jin!”
"Director Jin, it seems I have to take back what I said before." Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile, "You are not only a discerning person, but also a natural connoisseur! Maybe if you came in this capacity, you would have been able to
We had a great chat with my father in the study."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Shenghuo's face couldn't help but froze, but he soon regained his smile, and then changed the topic, "Is that so? It's a pity that such good things are not available to those big shots in Nanjing now.
At home, I no longer dare to hang these thick and long floor-to-ceiling curtains.”
"Why, are you afraid that Chairman Wang will investigate you for corruption?"
"No! It's because I'm afraid of assassination! A floor-to-ceiling curtain as thick and long as this could hide enough killers from two military anti-corruption regiments. The world is difficult and it's important to save your life. Xiaomeng, please advise your father..."
However, before he finished speaking, Gu Minzhang's voice rang out at the right time, interrupting Jin Shenghuo's words.
"If I remember correctly, so far, Chairman Wang has been assassinated thirteen times by anti-traitor gangs, and Minister Zhou has been assassinated seven times. Wouldn't it be great if I, the country's number one economic traitor, were not assassinated several times?
Isn’t it reassuring?”
Jin Shenghuo stood up quickly and explained: "I have admired the name of the president for a long time, and Jin came here to visit me today. I have no intention of offending, and no..."
Gu Minzhang waved his hand magnanimously, "We are all of the same mind, so there is no need to worry. Director Jin is here today, but I failed to entertain him well."
"Don't dare! Jin knows his identity. If he hadn't benefited from your daughter's favor, a convert like me would not be qualified to sit in the living room of Chairman Gu's house, even if he has become a general."
"Dad, what Director Jin means is that he saved my life when we were performing tasks on the code ship, so..."
"Oh, it's just a trivial matter. Jin...Jin is just taking care of Xiaomeng, a newcomer, from the perspective of a superior. That's all."
However, these words did not have the effect of improving his evaluation in Gu Minzhang's eyes as expected, but instead made the atmosphere fall into a confusing and embarrassing atmosphere.
"In that case... President Gu, then... I'll... take my leave first!" After asking for trouble, Jin Shenghuo couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and left.
However, before he could get up, Gu Minzhang finally said: "Director Jin, you misunderstood. Gu was not surprised by your life-saving grace. It's not that he didn't appreciate it, but he had expected that this day would come."
!Hahaha, come on, come on, sit down, please take a seat!”
After Jin Shenghuo sat down again, Gu Minzhang continued: "My daughter! People are not stupid, but their emotions move faster than their brains, and they act more urgently than the situation. If you are so reckless, you really shouldn't step into your industry.
But ever since she was little, as long as it was what she wanted to do, I didn’t care and I couldn’t control it.”
"I'm sorry that Jin doesn't agree with what President Gu said." Jin Shenghuo shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Xiaomeng is the most suitable person for this line of work because of his decisiveness. To do our job, we don't need to be cautious."
"Oh? This sounds fresh. It's not cautious. What is that?"
"It's intuition."
"Intuition?" Gu Minzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement after thinking about it, "It seems to make sense. Oh, by the way, Director Jin, can you come up with fifty thousand dollars now?"
Now it was Jin Shenghuo's turn to be stunned, "President Gu, what do you mean by this?"
"Ah! I just saw a piece of news in The Times. The price of Swedish iron ore has soared by 30% in ten days."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Shenghuo immediately showed a clear look, "As far as I know, the reason for this should be that Germany does not have high-quality iron ore, and the iron used in the military industry comes from Sweden, which can make
The price surged by 30% in such a short period of time is definitely because they were frantically buying steel raw materials to meet a larger strategic move."
"Director Jin is worthy of being the head of the Confidential Division, and he can get through everything at once." Gu Minzhang said with admiration, "Now that the European War has reached this point, there is only one place where the German army deserves to be so prepared!"
"Could you be referring to..."
"Soviet Union!?" The two said almost in unison, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"President Gu is really good at predicting things. This time we are on the code ship..."
However, before he finished speaking, Gu Minzhang waved his hand and interrupted him, "Director Jin, don't talk about your important military affairs to me, an economic person! But having said that, I am an economic person for such a simple matter.
Everyone can see it, so industry leaders like Director Jin are naturally out of the question. Once a war breaks out, only the United States will survive among the major countries. I believe that after this news, after all those international speculations,
According to the analysis of experts, within those two days, a large amount of hot money will flow into Wall Street, and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar will inevitably rise sharply! It is now eight o'clock in the evening, and in a few hours, Wall Street will start trading. Don't dare to go too far.
It is said that it is easy to double your principal."
Hearing this, Jin Shenghuo couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart. The reason why he was like this was not just because he could take the opportunity to make a lot of money after learning the news. What he cared about more was Gu Minzhang's.
These inferences are clearly meant to give myself a great achievement, a huge achievement that can not only make me enough capital, but also perfectly silence the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Jin Shenghuo said to Gu Minzhang with a grateful face: "Jin only heard from Xiao Meng before that President Gu did not live on Chinese time. Now I finally know what this means."
"In the eyes of doctors, time is life; in the eyes of businessmen, time is money; and in the eyes of Chairman Wang and Mr. Zhou, time is the victory or defeat of a war, or even the life or death of a country! The time in Tokyo is a whole day earlier than in Nanjing
In just one hour, I'm afraid it will take us two generations to catch up!"
…
At the same time, in Nanjing Jiming Temple, Zhou Fohai's office.
Zhou Fohai closed the long report in his hand with satisfaction, patted Minglou on the shoulder with great satisfaction and said: "Minglou, you are still the source of news. Act quickly! Before the news is reported, your people will
You have already arrived in Nanjing and reported to me in person. Thank you for your hard work!"
