"No, Dad, I just lamented that the largest foreign exchange black market in East China is actually located in the Navy Club run by the Japanese."
"Speaking of which, this is also thanks to the funding and operation of a mysterious person. Not only can you buy foreign exchange black market, guns and ammunition, confidential information, and controlled items, there are even surgeons who perform black operations here!"
"Dad, who is the mysterious man you are talking about? Is he one of us?" Gu Xiaomeng asked curiously.
"I don't know." Speaking of this, Gu Minzhang hurriedly explained, "Xiaomeng, I'm not trying to hide it from you, but I really don't know. For various reasons, people here are confused when they mention him.
Call him Big Boss."
"big boss?"
"Yes, to be honest, I used to be very interested in this big boss, and even conducted a secret investigation, but the result was nothing. I only know that in comparison, the wealth this big boss possesses is nothing."
It is a true 'rich country'."
Gu Xiaomeng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then couldn't help but ask: "Dad, why did you ask me to meet in such a place where people talk so much?"
Gu Minzhang smiled bitterly and said half-jokingly: "Isn't that because Captain Gu has widely announced in the headquarters that he has severed the father-daughter relationship with me and cannot go home?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng's face glowed slightly. After all, although this reason was an excuse to deal with Longchuan Feiyuan, it was more or less mixed with a hint of anger.
"Please forgive me, dad, I...I can only say this. Ryukawa Hihara came to me and said that his teacher, a Marquis named Jiuzao, wanted to see you. I said that as a last resort."
Such rhetoric was naturally untenable in Gu Minzhang's view, but he saw through it without saying anything. He simply followed Gu Xiaomeng's words and said: "Well... Marquis Jiuchao Tiefu, after the lord of the great vassal, my grandmother is
The beloved daughter of Emperor Komei, since such a person wants to see me, let alone you severing the father-daughter relationship with me, even if I am in prison, it is still necessary to see me."
"But dad... this is too dangerous. Tatsukawa Hihara almost killed Mitsui Juichi in full view of the Japanese headquarters, but in the end he was only imprisoned for one night and regained his freedom like no one else. And he
It has only been three days since I came to the headquarters, and Commander Zhang has almost been ousted. Longchuan Feihara is more terrifying now than when he was in Qiuzhuang. The reason behind this, I think, must be because of his teacher.
Marquis of Jiucao. Why does a man as big as him come to Hangzhou, and why do he want to see you?"
"War is all about money and supplies. I am the shipping king of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I am also the vice-chairman of the Financial and Economic Committee of the Nanjing Government. It is normal for the Japanese Marquis to want to see me. Xiaomeng, why are you so afraid?
?Tell me, what have you been doing in the headquarters these past few days without telling me?"
"Nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Gu Xiaomeng was about to get up and leave, but at this moment, Gu Minzhang suddenly said, "Li Ningyu has not completed the task, so don't overestimate your capabilities!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaomeng's body was shocked, and then she turned around and asked, "How do you know that Li Ningyu has unfinished tasks?"
"Don't forget, I am your father. Even if I don't understand Li Ningyu, how can I not see the thoughts of my own daughter? Moreover, even if it is based on common sense, unless there is an unfinished task, otherwise someone like her will
Such a top espionage officer would never do something like committing suicide."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but chuckle, "Dad, it seems that you have hidden more from me than I have from you!"
"Xiaomeng, you..."
However, before Gu Minzhang could finish his words, Gu Xiaomeng simply said, "Now we are even!" and walked out without any hesitation...
After walking out of the VIP room, Gu Xiaomeng had no intention of staying here anymore, but just when she was about to leave, a well-dressed man came over and asked in a low voice: "Hey, little one
...Miss, the U.S. dollar is yellow...gold. Can I exchange it for gold? It is three...points higher than the official exchange rate. Can I exchange it? Three...points. Three points higher than the official exchange rate. I can't...change it? It's really..."
Seeing that no matter what she said, Gu Xiaomeng was indifferent, so the man did not continue to waste time on her, and muttered to find the next target.
However, the speaker was unintentional and the listener was interested. For some reason, after listening to the words of the person just now, Gu Xiaomeng suddenly recalled in Gu Xiaomeng's mind what Li Ningyu said when she handed the wallet to her: ...It's all my fault. Before coming here, I changed everything.
Just turn it into gold. So, you must help me deliver it to Mr. Gu's hands.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaomeng vaguely guessed something, but still couldn't be sure. It felt like he was standing at the door of the truth, but couldn't find the key to open the door in front of him.
Just when she was slightly distracted, a big hand suddenly stretched out from behind and covered Gu Xiaomeng's mouth. Before she could react, a familiar voice rang...
At the same time that something unexpected happened to Gu Xiaomeng, a waiter knocked on the door of the VIP room where Gu Minzhang was and walked in with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
"Mr. Gu, this is the Blue Mountain we just arrived today, would you like to try it?" the waiter said while placing the coffee on the coffee table in front of Gu Minzhang.
But just when the waiter was about to put down the jar with the sugar, Gu Minzhang waved his hand and refused: "Thank you, I don't want to put the sugar in these days."
"Yes, I know. But you have been giving up sugar for ten days."
"In your opinion, how many pieces should I put?" Gu Minzhang asked again.
"Four dollars!"
"It's too much, I'm afraid it won't dissolve."
"Don't worry, it will definitely be dissolved by tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay!" Gu Minzhang said as he put four pieces of sugar into his cup of coffee, and then changed the topic, "However, I have a question, and I must ask the barista face to face."
"Okay, Mr. Gu, please wait a moment, I will call someone for you right now."
Not long after, a well-dressed young man knocked on the door and walked in.
When he saw the person coming, even Gu Minzhang opened his eyes unconsciously and asked in disbelief: "Why is it you?"
…
At the same time, in an alley not far from the Navy Club.
Although Gu Xiaomeng instinctively wanted to break away from Wang Tianxiang's control, she keenly heard something was wrong in his voice when he spoke, so she couldn't help but ask: "Are you injured?"
"Yes, Captain Gu, please... please help me." Wang Tianxiang said, letting go of Gu Xiaomeng and begging pitifully.
"Begging me? Director Wang, this is not the attitude of begging for help!"
"Captain Gu, I...I know you hate me from the bottom of your heart, but right now...you are the only one who can save my life right now. Please, Captain Gu..."
"You are wrong, Director Wang. If you want to save your life, you should go to the hospital and the gendarmerie instead of coming here to kidnap me!"
"I...I came here to beg you because I was really desperate, Longchuan Feiyuan. It was Longchuan Feiyuan who wanted to kill me..."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng glanced at Wang Tianxiang's still bleeding left arm and couldn't help but chuckle: "I know, it's a bitter trick, right? It was Longchuan Feihara who asked you to come over and act with me, right?"
"No, really not. It is indeed Longchuan Feiyuan who wants to kill me. That's why...that's why I came to beg you. If you don't save me..."
"Even if it's true, you should also know that I want you to die now, so why should I save you?"
"Captain Gu, listen to me. As long as you... you are willing to save me this time, I will... I will help you deal with Longchuan Feiyuan and avenge Colonel Li... Colonel Li and the others!"
"Are you kidding me? Commander Zhang was originally going to send you to the front line, but Hihara Ryukawa stopped the transfer for you and saved your life. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. Why do you want to repay kindness with enmity? Besides,
Li Ningyu is an old ghost of the Red Party, why should I avenge her?"
Hearing this, Wang Tianxiang was very anxious and said excitedly: "Captain Gu, I won't hide it from you now. All of us were deceived by that Japanese devil from Longchuan! He brought you in
Qiuzhuang is not to investigate some old man from the Red Party at all, the real purpose...the real purpose is actually to investigate the rumored treasure of Qiuzhuang!"
Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but narrowed her eyes after hearing this, "Humph! Do you think that if you say this, I will believe your lies?"
"Captain Gu, please... please believe me. I originally thought he saved me, but later I found out that he did it to prevent me from getting out of his control. And just yesterday, I just accidentally
I overheard... I overheard his conversation with that Marquis, that Japanese guy from Longchuan was going to kill me to silence me, but luckily I was more cautious and didn't drink the sake he sent."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Director Wang, even if you are the editor, you have to make up a reliable reason, right? How did you overhear the conversation between two Japanese people?
?Could it be that when they discussed such a secret matter, they all spoke in Chinese?"
"This..." Wang Tianxiang was speechless for a moment when Gu Xiaomeng questioned him. After a long while, he finally confessed as if he had made up his mind, "Forget it, Captain Gu, I won't hide it from you now. In fact, when I was a kid
My family background is pretty good, and I went to a Japanese school for a few years, so..."
"So you hid the fact that you could actually understand Japanese in front of Ryukawa Hihara, but later you leaked the trap after hearing his conversation with the Marquis. That's why Ryukawa Hihara wanted to kill you.
no?"
"Yes!" Wang Tianxiang nodded quickly and replied.
"Then the injury on your arm..." Gu Xiaomeng asked again.
"After I discovered that there was something wrong with the bottle of wine, I began to secretly monitor Tatsukawa Hihara's every move. But just now, after I followed him to a Japanese geisha house, I was accidentally discovered by him and was beaten by him.
Gun, if after daybreak, he finds that I am not dead, or finds the gunshot wound on my arm, then I will be dead!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Okay, even if what you said is true, then why do you think I will save you?"
"Captain Gu, listen to me. At first, I thought Ryukawa Hihara was really...really trying to catch the old ghost. But later, everyone died one by one, and I finally figured it out.
Everyone in the village has something to do with Qiuzhuang! Jin Shenghuo, you know, he has something to do with the death of the old owner of Qiuzhuang, right? Li Ningyu, she once rescued Wu Zhiguo, who was still the killer of Qiuzhuang. And also
Bai Xiaonian, he is the young master of the Qiu family who escaped death! Longchuan Feiyuan cannot let anyone who has come into contact with Qiuzhuang's secrets go, including me! Of course, it also includes you, Captain Gu!"
"Why include me? I have nothing to do with Qiuzhuang."
"Yes, you have nothing to do with Qiuzhuang, that's why you were able to leave Qiuzhuang alive, but this does not mean that Longchuan Feiyuan has lifted his doubts about you."
"Suspicion? What does he suspect of me?"
"Captain Gu, I won't hide it from you now. The conversation you had with Colonel Li in Qiuzhuang about the assassination of Colonel Morita was heard by Ryukawa Hihara without saying a word, and the audio was also recorded.
, although I don’t know why he didn’t attack you immediately, but I’m sure he will use this matter to blackmail you, so..."
"What about you?" Before Wang Tianxiang could finish speaking, Gu Xiaomeng interrupted him, "What is your relationship with Qiuzhuang?"
"Captain Gu, can you...can you help me treat the wound first? Don't worry, as long as you help me, I will definitely..." At this point, Wang Tianxiang's voice began to tremble.
Only then did Gu Xiaomeng realize that Wang Tianxiang's lips had begun to turn white due to excessive bleeding, so after weighing the pros and cons, she endured the psychological discomfort and helped Wang Tianxiang return to the Navy Club...
On the other side, in the VIP room.
"I didn't expect that there is such a little-known story behind the treasure of Qiuzhuang." After listening to Li Qiang's story, Gu Minzhang said with emotion, "If the old owner of Qiuzhuang really died for the revolution,
He is truly an amazing person who endures humiliation and even bears the infamy for eternity!"
"Yes, but this is just my personal guess. Whether the truth can be revealed to the world depends on what Zhou Fohai does."
Gu Minzhang snorted, "I know Zhou Fohai very well. At best, he is a man with a thousand faces, and at worst, he is just a grassroots. If this matter is true, then he will have the leverage to negotiate terms with Chongqing.
, so I dare to say that he will definitely send someone to secretly verify this matter next. As for this candidate... I think it is most likely your nephew!"
