"Hahaha..." Faced with Jiuchao Tiefu's almost naked persecution, Gu Minzhang smiled lightly and replied helplessly, "Your Excellency, I am not afraid of your laughter when I say it. I respect my daughter's
If my career can't interfere, how can I interfere with her marriage? What's more, she is still clamoring to sever the father-daughter relationship with me!"
"Then isn't this marriage an opportunity to ease the relationship between your father and daughter?" Tetsuo Washio asked, "What are you still hesitating about?"
"In Qiuzhuang, Mr. Longchuan was her judge, but now? In the confidential office, you are her boss. I think... we should avoid suspicion, right?"
"Mr. Gu is worried that among the five people who entered Qiuzhuang, only your daughter came out safe and sound. If she marries Longchuan Jun at this time, you are afraid that others will doubt her innocence, right?"
"I'm not only worried about my little girl's innocence, but also the future of Lord Longchuan, which will probably have a great impact. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
Although Gu Minzhang's words were very direct, they were very reasonable. Even the eagle's nest tiefu couldn't find any fault with them, so he tried to make another plan after one plan failed.
He turned around and waved to his men at the door, and immediately someone walked in with something.
Gu Minzhang took a closer look and saw that it was actually a tape recorder!
Although he was a little uneasy in his heart, Gu Minzhang still asked calmly: "Your Majesty, Marquis, what are you doing?"
But Tetsuo Gushichao did not reply, but pressed the play button on his own, and then Li Ningyu's voice came from the video recorder: "...Don't forget, the person who assassinated Morita at that time,
It's obviously you! Jin Shenghuo and Wu Zhiguo's plan was to hijack Morita and escape when the lights were turned off. Why did you kill him? You didn't want to escape? Let me tell you, you must have been subjected to something worse than being executed on the ship.
What is the fatal threat? Did Morita expose you as an old ghost? In order to protect your comrades, you had no choice but to abandon your escape plan and hastily assassinate you."
"No, that's not the case!" Gu Xiaomeng denied.
"Then why did you kill Colonel Morita? Why?"
Then Gu Xiaomeng's voice also sounded, "I said it wasn't me. Even if you want to blame me, you can only blame me...blame my mistake for a moment."
"Killing with one knife in the dark, how could it be a mistake?"
"How is it impossible? After the lights were turned off, someone immediately handed a knife to my hand, and then grabbed my hand and stabbed Morita's!"
"Do you think I will believe your lies?"
…
Just when the quarrel between the two was about to reach its climax, Jiuchao Tefu pressed the stop button and looked at Gu Minzhang with a half-smile.
"This... Your Excellency, Marquis, what do you mean by this? You can't conclude that my daughter, Gu Minzhang, is the murderer of Colonel Morita just based on a specious recording, right?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Gu, you misunderstood." Ryukawa Hihara hurriedly explained, "The recording can only prove that Colonel Morita died at the hands of the old ghost, nothing more."
Hearing this, Gu Minzhang's tone also turned cold, "So what Mr. Longchuan means is that my daughter is an old ghost?"
Jiuchao Tetsuo shook his head and said: "Mr. Gu, there is no need to be so excited. It is just a recording. It cannot be used as key evidence at all. At most, it only adds a few doubts to this case. Compared with the marriage of our two families, it is a major event.
It’s not worth mentioning at all, what do you think?”
However, before he finished speaking, before Gu Minzhang could speak, Gu Xiaomeng's voice suddenly rang out, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Marquis, for your kindness, but please forgive Xiaomeng for speaking frankly, I am opposed to this marriage. If Your Majesty the Marquis thinks that a specious recording can coerce me,
If your father agrees to the marriage, then you can hand it over directly to the military headquarters, and I will personally make a corresponding explanation to the senior military officials."
"Xiao Meng! It's already rude to wait so long to come down, but to be so reckless as soon as you open your mouth is really getting more and more unruly!" Although his tone was very stern, Gu Minzhang still responded to Gu Xiaomeng's sonorous and powerful response.
Very satisfied.
Just when the atmosphere between the two parties became a little subtle, Gu Xiaomeng took the initiative to explain: "Director Longchuan, I hope you don't misunderstand. I am not targeting you, but because I am a complete celibate."
However, getting married, having children, and taking care of the family is really too energy-consuming for me. Moreover, I have always believed that the reason why women cannot reach the heights of men is because they are married."
"Is that so?" Ryukawa Hihara couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "But if I remember correctly, not long ago, there was a guy named Liu who participated in the event at Qiuzhuang as your boyfriend.
Dinner?"
"Yes, that's right, but I dare to ask Director Longchuan, in your opinion, can a mere drama actor win the eyes of the ship king's daughter? To tell you the truth, the man surnamed Liu was just brought in by me to distract my father.
It's nothing more than a push for marriage."
Unexpectedly, Na Longchuan Feiyuan shook his head after hearing this and said: "Miss Gu, I have to say that although the reason you gave sounds quite sufficient, it cannot withstand scrutiny! Because in my opinion, that Liu Zonglin
He is not a real drama actor at all! And his true identity..."
"His true identity is that he is a broker who is active in the intelligence black market and makes a living by buying and selling intelligence, right?" Before Ryukawa Hihara could finish speaking, Gu Xiaomeng said before him.
This was beyond Ryukawa Hihara's expectation, "So, you already knew his details?"
"It's not knowing, it's seeing through!" Gu Xiaomeng corrected, "And it was precisely because I saw through his true purpose of approaching me that made me hate marriage even more. I wonder if Director Longchuan is satisfied with this explanation?"
"So that's it! But don't worry, Miss Gu, you don't have to take on too many obligations after you get married. I will fully support you in making achievements in your career..."
"Fake!" Longchuan Feiyuan had just finished speaking halfway when Gu Xiaomeng sneered and interrupted, "It's all fake..."
"I guarantee what I just said with the honor of an imperial soldier. Please believe me!"
"Director Longchuan, you have misunderstood. What I am saying is that marriage, relatives, blood ties, trust, dependence, and support are all fake! Which of them is not based on mutual interests? Everyone is
You are born alone, die alone, and fulfill your obligations in this world alone. Those family members, friends, and lovers who seem to be the closest are actually...all lonely strangers. So what is the purpose of getting married and having children?
What? Just to tell their descendants how much we love them? But in the end, we found out that this was a well-intentioned scam. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Speaking of this, Gu Xiaomeng paused deliberately, and then turned to Jiuchao Tiefu and said: "Your Excellency, Marquis, you will not vent your anger on Mr. Gu, who has severed the relationship between father and daughter, because of my disobedience, will you?"
"Well, it seems that Miss Gu has been greatly hurt, and she has seen all kinds of misfortunes in marriage in life. There is no other way. In this case, I can only respect your personal choice."
"Thank you, Director Longchuan, for your understanding."
After hearing this, Jiuchao Tefu finally coughed slightly and said: "Since Mr. Longchuan has expressed his position like this, I can only express my regret. I also wish Miss Gu a happy life, even if it is true
Lonely."
As Tetsuo Washio said, he couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, I didn't expect that at this age, I, a majestic Marquis of the Japanese Empire, would propose marriage to my beloved student and be rejected. It's really hard!"
Didn't you ask for it?
Although Gu Xiaomeng wanted to retaliate after hearing this, her rationality stopped her in time.
When Jiuchao Tiefu saw that Gu Minzhang and his daughter were just watching his performance quietly, with no one saying anything to him, he still continued with a shy face: "Of course, even if I am rejected, I will not ask Miss Gu
As I said, I am angry at Mr. Gu, but because of the face of the Marquis of the Empire, Mr. Gu must give me an explanation, right?"
"Your Majesty, please speak! Mr. Gu will do his best to protect your face."
"I would like to ask Mr. Gu to help me investigate a spy of Dai Li, codename: Guzhou."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Minzhang fell into silence, not for anything else but because that "Guzhou" was his code name in the military command!
"Why, Mr. Gu is unwilling?" Seeing that Gu Minzhang was silent for a long time, Jiuchao Tiefu asked in a deep voice, somewhat unhappy.
Gu Minzhang smiled and said, "Haha, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't catch him! I'm just a businessman. I don't know anything about tracking down spies. I'm afraid I can't take on such a heavy responsibility! After all, it's a professional thing.
Should we leave it to professionals? For example, Director Longchuan?"
"No! This mission must be done by you, Mr. Gu." As he said this, Tetsuo Washo took out a telegram marked top secret and handed it to Gu Minzhang, "This is what our secret service intercepted overseas.
The information in the secret telegram is very fragmented, but one important clue can be seen, which is that Dai Li sent an important spy, Gu Zhou, to sneak into East China. One of his tasks was to bribe and win over senior officials of the Nanjing government."
"Then... where can I serve the Marquis?" Gu Minzhang asked again.
"It's very simple. I need the family records of Jiming Temple."
"Family accounting book?"
"Mr. Gu is the vice-chairman of the Economic Committee of the Nanjing National Government. He will definitely know the accounts of officials at all levels in major domestic and foreign banks. Since this lone boat wants to bribe and win over people, there will definitely be a large amount of money coming in and out. Gu
Vice President, you only need to inform us of the abnormal account movements of the VIPs, and I believe that we will be able to catch this lone boat quickly." Ryukawa Hihara interfaced.
"Mr. Gu just needs to provide us with some economic data. I won't get your hands dirty, right?"
After figuring out the true purpose of the two people's visit, Gu Minzhang felt confident and said calmly and calmly: "It's possible, but the price is very high."
"Tell me, maybe I can pay."
Gu Minzhang was not polite, and immediately showed his aura as the shipping king of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and said directly: "My fleet is responsible for half of the rice shipped from North Korea to Japan."
"Too high, 30%!"
"Four percent!"
"Deal!" Saying this, Jiuchao Tefu took the initiative to pick up the wine glass in front of him. Gu Minzhang also quickly picked up the wine glass and clinked it symbolically to seal the deal between the two.
Longchuan Feiyuan on the side also followed suit, picked up his own glass and said to Gu Xiaomeng: "Ms. Gu, although the marriage between you and me has not been concluded, an in-depth cooperation between us has been established. I don't want to do anything about it.
A cup?”
"It's time for a toast. Then I wish you, Director Longchuan, a bright future, a happy life, and a prosperous official career."
"Thank you!"
…
When the time came to four o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Que came to the cafe as promised, but he looked very haggard because of the stomach wash he had done all night.
But even so, Huang Que still worked up her energy and walked to the bar.
"Hello, sir, what do you need?"
"A cup of Blue Mountain, thank you."
After saying that, Huang Que took the opportunity to look around and carefully observed every customer in the cafe.
In a short time, a steaming cup of Blue Mountain coffee was delivered to him.
"Thank you!" After saying that, Huang Que took the coffee and walked over to a guest who was holding a book of poetry, completely covering his face, and there was a bottle of whiskey on the table in front of him. He sat down opposite him and asked tentatively.
"Does drinking and reading poetry in a cafe blaspheme the poet or insult the god of wine?"
Before he finished speaking, the guest on the opposite side also replied: "From ancient times to the present, which poet has not been an alcoholic? Without what is in this cup, how could there be a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation?"
"I heard that Ma Zhou was a new visitor in the past, and no one knew him in the world. Even if a genius worked hard, he could only live under the fence of others."
"Even if I am in trouble, the light will always come. As the saying goes, if I am unable to move my soul, the whole world will turn white when the rooster sings."
Upon hearing this, Huang Que took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and said excitedly: "Comrade Lao Qiang, I finally see you."
However, when the man opposite put down the book in his hand and revealed his true face, the smile on Huang Que's face suddenly solidified, "No, you are not an old gun."
Pan Hanqing smiled, "But I can be sure that you are the oriole! Right?"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Que's pupils shrank suddenly, but just when he was about to run away, he realized that Pan Hanqing's hand hidden under the table had already pulled out a pistol.
"Don't move. If you want to survive, be honest. I'll ask you a question and you'll answer it. If there's even half a lie, the guy in my hand won't be very smart!"
At this time, Huang Que was frightened to the point of being confused. After hearing this, he nodded hurriedly and said: "You... you want to know anything, just... just ask, I will... I will definitely cooperate! I will definitely cooperate."
