"I said, doctor...is this the end?" In a very inconspicuous basement in the Navy Club, Wang Tianxiang first looked at his still exposed wounds, and then couldn't help but said to the doctor in front of him who was taking off his gloves.
.
"There's only so much healing a gold bar can do!"
"I'm not a doctor, why don't you give me a bandage?"
Before he finished speaking, the doctor pointed to the sign hanging on the wall and said impatiently: "Can you please read it clearly? Emergency treatment only includes removing bullets and stopping bleeding. Of course, if you insist on letting
It's not impossible for us to bandage you, but that's a different price."
"How much more?"
"Not much, just add another gold bar."
"You!" Wang Tianxiang was almost so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. He pointed at the man's nose and was speechless for a long time.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the corridor outside the door, and then the nurse's blocking voice rang out, "Sir, you can't go in, sir..."
Although it could be heard that the nurse outside the door had tried her best to stop her, it obviously had no effect. Before she finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and dressed like a teacher barged in, regardless of the situation.
He shouted: "Who is the doctor! I want to have my stomach lavaged! Quick, help me have my stomach lavaged!"
"Sir, I am the doctor here. You can call me Dr. Yang. I know you are in a hurry, but no matter how urgent you are, there must be a first-come, first-served basis, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The man said, taking out a thick wad of U.S. dollars from his arms and patting it in front of Dr. Yang, "Is that enough?"
As soon as he saw the U.S. dollars, Dr. Yang's face was immediately filled with a smile, he nodded hurriedly and said: "That's enough, that's enough, Xiao Qin, hurry up, make arrangements for this gentleman immediately."
As soon as these words came out, the nurse named Xiao Qin immediately responded, and then the two of them began to work, leaving Wang Tianxiang aside.
Wang Tianxiang's reaction was also very strange. Instead of getting angry on the spot, there was a look of shock on his face.
Such an abnormal behavior naturally attracted Gu Xiaomeng's attention, so he walked over and said softly to him: "What's wrong, Director Wang, do you know that person?"
"More than just acquaintance?" At this point, Wang Tianxiang quickly glanced left and right, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "To tell you the truth, he is the one who was installed by Ryukawa Hihara in the Red Party.
Eyes and ears, oriole!”
"What did you say?" It was okay that Gu Xiaomeng didn't listen. As soon as she heard that the person was Huang Que, she felt an urge to get rid of it for no reason. However, in the end, her rationality allowed her to suppress the urge.
impulse.
If it were in the past, Gu Xiaomeng would definitely try every means to get rid of him, but now, she is no longer the same person, but has become more mature and calm.
After calming down, Gu Xiaomeng began to speculate on the reason why the guy came to do gastric lavage. He soon started to have a suspicion, and then lowered his voice and whispered to Wang Tianxiang...
At the same time, in the next room, Pan Hanqing finally let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Xiaomeng did not directly attack Huang Que recklessly.
However, before he could look back, a weak voice rang out, "Ahem...how about it, I...ahem...am I right?"
Pan Hanqing did not refute after hearing this, but immediately looked over at the sound, his face full of concern and distress, "Yes, you are right, after experiencing so many things, Gu Xiaomeng has indeed grown a lot, then
Can you rest assured now? Doctor Yang also said that your illness cannot be delayed any longer."
Li Ningyu didn't want to but shook her head and said stubbornly: "Brother, I said that I still have a task to complete. I promise you that when the task is completed, I will listen to you and go to the United States to cure the disease."
"You! Alas!" Pan Hanqing was naturally aware of his sister's temper. He knew that once he made up his mind, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, he could only sigh heavily and compromise, "Okay! It's almost time, it's time to take medicine.
.”
With that said, Pan Hanqing took out the medicine box from the cabinet, but as soon as he turned around, there was a light touch on his hand. When he came to his senses, he saw a burly figure delivering the medicine box to Li Ningyu's house.
before……
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Washo Tetsuo and Ryukawa Hihara packed up and prepared to leave for Gu Mansion.
But just before departure, Zhao Xiaoman from the Confidential Department suddenly came over, which immediately made Longchuan Feiyuan very unhappy. He almost reprimanded in a reproachful tone: "How did you find this place? Who is it?
Asked you to come?"
"Director, you are not here, and neither is Section Chief Gu Xiaomeng. After this secret message was deciphered, I sent it to the commander's secretary office. Commander Zhang personally sent a car to bring me here."
"Why is the secret message so urgent? It has to..." Just in the middle of the sentence, Ryukawa Hihara's words stopped abruptly.
Although the content of the secret message was very short, there were only four words: The gambling begins. There was nothing else, neither signature nor direction.
But for some reason, Longchuan Feiyuan could tell at a glance that these four words were meant for him, and then Li Ningyu's cold and proud face appeared in his mind, and he suddenly became a little flustered.
Upon seeing this, Tetsuo Gushichao on the side couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Mr. Ryukawa, is there something urgent going on in the headquarters? Do you need to go back and deal with it?"
"No, it's nothing. It's almost time, Lord Marquis, we should set off!" After saying that, Longchuan Feiyuan turned to Zhao Xiaoman and said, "This is none of your business, go back!"
Zhao Xiaoman wanted to say something else, but Longchuan Feiyuan stared back, and he had no choice but to leave angrily.
Despite such a small episode, Washio Tetsuo and Ryukawa Hihara arrived at the Gu Mansion smoothly as planned.
Gu Minzhang stood at the door early and greeted Jiuchao Tiefu's carriage.
"His Majesty the Marquis's personal visit really brings glory to this humble abode! Mr. Gu is sorry for being so far away, and I hope that His Majesty the Marquis will forgive me. Please forgive me!"
After hearing this, Jiuchao Tefu waved his hands repeatedly, "Mr. Gu is too polite. I came uninvited. It's so disturbing. Please don't take offense to Mr. Gu!"
"Hahaha, Your Majesty the Marquis said something serious, please!"
"please!"
After a few brief greetings, Gu Minzhang enthusiastically let Jiuchao Tiefu and Ryukawa Hihara through the door.
"This must be Mr. Gu's daughter, Miss Gu Xiaomeng, right?" The group came to the living room, and as soon as the guests and hosts were seated, Jiuchao Tiefu looked at Gu Xiaomeng, who was dressed in a black cheongsam, and asked.
"Yes, she is my daughter." Gu Minzhang hurriedly replied with a smile, "Xiaomeng, why don't you say hello to the Marquis?"
Gu Xiaomeng saluted with great care and respect for words: "Hello, Your Excellency."
"Hello." After saying that, Tetsuo Jiuchao turned his attention to the architectural model on the coffee table, intentionally or unintentionally, and asked curiously, "Huh? Mr. Gu, what is this?"
"This is a small souvenir given by a German friend. If Gu wants to ask the Marquis to accept it to commemorate our first meeting, is it too presumptuous?"
"Oh, Mr. Gu, although I am a soldier, I know a little bit about the origin of this work. If I guess correctly, this should be a model of Master Ludwig's work, right? Tsk tsk tsk, let's discuss it.
The value of art is far beyond what money can measure! Where is the little souvenir? However, since Mr. Gu is so kind, I would be disrespectful, but in contrast, I also happened to prepare a trivial gift.
, just think of it as a gift from me in return."
As he said this, Tetsuo Gushichao winked at Ryukawa Hihara, who immediately understood, stood up, took a brocade box from his subordinate's hand, and carefully placed it in front of Gu Minzhang.
"Mr. Gu, this is a gift that my teacher has carefully prepared for you. Please accept it!"
"Oh, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." As he said this, Gu Minzhang took the brocade box with both hands, opened it, and found an account book inside. He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Your Majesty, this is... your country
Household accounting book?"
"To be precise, it is a family book written by Zenjiro Yasuda, the founder of the richest family in the Japanese Empire." Tetsuo Washio said proudly, "It records how Zenjiro Yasuda came from a village.
A small businessman has a record of every penny earned and spent in the more than ten years since he became the number one chaebol. Family history is the history of the country. Today’s Empire of Japan is just like the Yasuda family back then. From a grain of rice to an inch
Sha started, saved, and struggled! Finally he became a giant that can compete with Europe and the United States! I believe that people like you, Mr. Gu, can also use the power of the family to drive the prosperity of the entire country like Zenjiro Yasuda. So, I am willing
Be your loyal friend and fight side by side with you!"
Speaking of this, Tetsuo Washo looked around, and then continued to say with critical appraisal: "Mr. Gu, your small living room brings together German architecture, British drama, and French painting art. You see.
It can be seen that Mr. Gu has great respect for Western civilization, but I also remind Mr. Gu that the East and the West are always two nations, and only our Empire of Japan is a friendly country that you Chinese can learn from and rely on."
After hearing this, Gu Minzhang smiled quickly and said: "Well, in that case, I will be disrespectful. Xiao Meng, take this precious gift to my study and keep it!"
However, Gu Xiaomeng was a little distracted, as if she hadn't heard anything. Gu Minzhang quickly repeated it again, and then Gu Xiaomeng suddenly came back to his senses, took the box and went upstairs.
Gu Minzhang then continued: "Gu has prepared simple dishes in the restaurant. Your Excellency, Marquis, would you please?"
"please!"
So the three of them left the living room and came to the dining room.
As Gu Minzhang said, all kinds of Japanese delicacies have been prepared on the dining table.
"You two, this is not someone Gu playing tricks on the class! Feeling at home is the greatest respect for our Chinese hosts."
"Hahaha, China and Japan have always been separated by a narrow strip of water. We are one family, so there is no need to be polite, Mr. Gu. But your thoughtfulness really touches me! But what makes me even more envious is that you have such a person.
My dear daughter, Mr. Longchuan has been talking about your daughter in front of me these days! I really didn’t expect that such a wealthy family could cultivate such an unparalleled intelligence talent!"
"Hahaha, my little girl has mediocre qualifications and is willful. She must have caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Longchuan, right?"
"No, no." Longchuan Feiyuan said quickly.
However, Gu Minzhang waved his hand, "Longchuan-kun doesn't have to cover up for her like this. I know that my daughter is not suitable for espionage work based on her qualifications. If the little girl accidentally gets into any trouble in the future, she will still
Please take care of me, Mr. Longchuan!"
"Mr. Gu said something serious, something serious..."
Ryukawa Hihara was about to stand up as he spoke, but was stopped by Tetsuo Washio, "Mr. Gu, you and I are both fathers. I believe that the old-school people in Japan are similar to the old-school people in China. For example,
, I have always regarded the students I value as my own sons, and there is a saying in China that 'once a teacher, always a father', right?"
Naturally, Jiuchao Tiefu's little calculation could not be hidden from Gu Minzhang's eyes. However, Gu Minzhang saw through it without telling him. He only smiled on the surface and did not pick up what Jiuchao Tiefu said.
At this time, Jiuchao Tiefu had no choice but to clarify his words shamelessly, "Mr. Gu, let me tell you the truth! I came here this time hoping to take your daughter into our family. That's what I say."
, Mr. Gu should be able to understand what I mean, right?"
Gu Minzhang smiled after hearing this, "Your Excellency, the Marquis, does not know. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. She is not qualified to be a daughter, let alone a wife. I believe that an outstanding talent like Longchuan Jun will be able to do it."
Find a good match who is more suitable than my little girl."
As soon as these words came out, Tetsuo Gushichao's face instantly became very ugly.
Just when the atmosphere in the restaurant gradually became a little subtle, Longchuan Feiyuan stood up and said to Gu Minzhang: "Mr. Gu, from Qiuzhuang to the headquarters, your daughter's talent, appearance and conduct have deeply attracted me.
That’s why today I specially asked my teacher to come forward and propose marriage to Mr. Gu. I hope you can agree to my request and marry your daughter to me. Please!"
Although Ryukawa Hihara said please, his words were full of coercion and coercion.
Just when Gu Minzhang was still racking his brains to think of countermeasures, Jiuchao Tefu first waved his hand and motioned for Ryukawa Feihara to sit down, and then he sang a white face again, "Frankly speaking, Mr. Gu's concerns
, I can understand that Mr. Longchuan is widowed and has a boy. If it spreads, it may damage Mr. Gu's reputation. However, Mr. Longchuan has always been raised by his wife, and I also treat him as a grandson.
So you can rest assured that this child will never affect the lives of the newlyweds. As for your personal prestige and reputation, I also guarantee with the honor of an imperial soldier that there will never be any loss. How about
