"Good guy, this person's social circle is really scary. Okay, then you go ahead and I'll go in and take a look around."
After saying that, he took Haitang and Matsuoka Yui and walked in under the watch of Fujita Tsuyoshi.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a burst of melodious music coming from the reception hall on the right. It seemed that the ceremony had already started for some time.
Compared with the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in the reception hall, there is a busy scene outside. From time to time, Japanese military police wearing military police armbands will run up and down in a hurry holding documents stamped with confidential seals. In addition to the reception,
Except for the direction of the hall, all the corridors and stairwells in other directions are guarded by Japanese soldiers with live ammunition. It is obvious that they have put in great efforts in security just like outside.
But even so, Li Qiang still curiously observed the internal structure of the Plum Blossom Hall, and then walked into the reception hall under the murderous eyes of the Japanese soldiers on guard.
After entering, Li Qiang immediately identified the location of Zhou Fohai and his wife in the crowd, so after briefly explaining a few words to Haitang and Matsuoka Yui, he quickly walked over.
However, before he could get closer, he heard Zhou Fohai's voice coming from the crowd.
"...Here, I reiterate that I have always upheld the great concept of building a new order in Greater East Asia with the Imperial Kingdom as the center and based on the strong integration of Japan, Manchuria and China, and establishing an economic coordination circle that includes the entire Greater East Asia.
An attitude of unconditional support. At the same time, I also believe that the co-prosperity of Dadi will be completely realized in the near future! Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, your efforts and help are absolutely indispensable. I, Zhou Fohai, on behalf of the Nanjing government, would like to thank you all.
!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him immediately responded and gave them the warmest applause without hesitation.
Zhou Fohai stood in the middle of the crowd with a look of enjoyment, calmly accepting the support from those people.
When the applause subsided, Zhou Fohai raised his glass and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, let me raise a toast together and wish that this great goal can be achieved as soon as possible. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Everyone echoed in unison.
After saying that, everyone imitated Zhou Fohai and drank all the champagne in their glasses.
However, Li Qiang did not rush forward to talk rashly. Instead, he specially picked a relatively conspicuous place and stood there waiting politely. He soon attracted the attention of Zhou Fohai's wife Yang Shuhui.
At Yang Shuhui's signal, Li Qiang followed her quietly and as unobtrusively as possible to a lounge next to the venue that was specially provided for guests to rest.
"Mr. Ming, you shouldn't be here now. Have you already made some important discovery?"
Li Qiang didn't say much. He took out the photos taken by Haitang and handed them to Yang Shuhui.
"Isn't this...Broadway Building? What are you doing there?" Yang Shuhui said in confusion while looking through the photos. However, when he saw the last photo, he couldn't help but frown.
He frowned and asked, "This man who came out of the building with You Hai...couldn't he be the underground party codenamed 'Xiao Kai'?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang was somewhat surprised and asked: "Mrs. Zhou, are you sure you don't recognize this person? Why don't you take a closer look?"
After hearing this, Yang Shuhui hurriedly picked up the photo and looked at it carefully for a while, but finally shook her head and said: "I don't know him, but from your tone just now, it seems that I am very familiar with this person. Am I right?"
"Mrs. Zhou is Mrs. Zhou. I really can't hide anything from you." Li Qiang said with a smile, "But he and I are not familiar, we can only be regarded as casual acquaintances."
So Li Qiang told the story exactly what he experienced after Zhou Huihai left yesterday.
"Mr. Hu... I really wish I had vaguely heard of this person." Yang Shuhui recalled very hard after listening.
"Although I have only been in contact with him for a short time, I can see that this person's social relationships and background are very complicated. It is said that every time Mr. Hu appears in public, he is basically with a certain big shot. Among them.
This included the reception dinner hosted by Lieutenant General Kagesa to entertain Lieutenant General Shibayama, as well as the internal meeting hosted by General Doihara at the Military Police Headquarters. All the big shots, without exception, regarded it as a seat.
As an honored guest, he was given extremely high treatment and respect. Just now, he was brought to meet with Lieutenant General Shibayama as Mr. Iwai's attaché."
"It seems that this matter is getting more and more complicated." Yang Shuhui couldn't help but pondered in a troubled manner after hearing this.
But at this moment, he accidentally noticed the hesitant look on Li Qiang's face, so his brows that finally relaxed slightly frowned again and asked: "Why, besides these,
Don’t you have any other remarkable discoveries?”
"Um...Mrs. Zhou, to tell you the truth, as early as last night when I first met Mr. Hu, I had a chance to control him before the people at Iwai Mansion, but I never thought about it.
Instead, he threatened me with a sexy rumor related to Mr. Zhou, which made me a little bit defensive, so I missed the best opportunity..."
"What did you say?" As soon as these words came out, Yang Shuhui's face immediately darkened, and she asked word for word, "What kind of rumors are you talking about? Tell me."
"Well...according to what he said, not long ago, Mr. Zhou met a singer named Xiao Linghong in a club. After the two met several times, they redeemed her body and even bought a special gift for her.
She bought an apartment. What's even more annoying is that although this person was born in poverty, she also knew a few words. Who would have thought that she would rely on this to start actively giving advice to Mr. Zhou.
She has regarded herself as 'Mrs. Zhou', and there are even some official documents that she helped to comment on..."
"That's unreasonable!" How could Yang Shuhui, who had such a fiery nature, hear this? She immediately felt like a powder keg that had been completely ignited and could explode at any time. Her eyes were on fire and she asked, "Tell me, where is the apartment of that little vixen?"
Where is it? I have to show her something awesome!"
Seeing that Yang Shuhui was really angry and had achieved his goal, Li Qiang hurriedly advised him: "Mrs. Zhou, calm down, calm down! Not to mention whether what the person named Hu said is true or false has yet to be verified, even if it is true.
, I think there must be something else hidden."
"Oh?" Although Yang Shuhui has a fierce personality, she is also a very smart woman. After repeated consideration, she nodded in agreement, "That's right. I'm sorry, I just lost my temper."
"Mrs. Zhou, you don't have to apologize to me, because I don't think there is anything inappropriate in your reaction just now. To be honest, I went through a process from shock to suspicion when I first heard this rumor.
But calm down and think about it, if this rumor is true, is this a way for Mr. Zhou to protect himself?"
"Self-protection? How to say?"
"Someone once said to me that if you want your boss to trust you, you can't be too perfect in front of him. Not only must you have shortcomings, but you must also spot the right time and take the initiative to expose your shortcomings in front of the boss. In this way
Simple truth, Mr. Zhou is naturally well versed in it, so I think that even if the rumors are true, Mr. Zhou should be just acting on occasion for this reason. As for the brothel woman, in my eyes, she is just the light of a firefly, how can I
Competing with the sun and the moon?"
I have to say that what Li Qiang said really touched Yang Shuhui's heart, and most of the anger in her heart was gone, but she was still very unhappy, "Then you mean you want me to turn a blind eye.
, close one eye and pretend you didn’t see anything?”
"Of course not! If you keep pretending to be deaf and mute, it is very likely that the show will turn into a fake show! So if the rumors are true, you have to make a fuss, and make it known to everyone.
Only then can we remain invincible.”
"Well, you're right. It's not in line with my character to swallow my anger and pretend to be deaf. If this thing is false, then that's it. If it's true, I'll let that naughty fox see my wife's methods.
!”
At this moment, with the sound of the door lock turning, Zhou Fohai pushed the door open and walked in.
It turned out that he couldn't help but come in to check the situation when he saw that the two of them had not come out for a long time.
"Why have we been chatting for so long? Did something happen?"
However, before she finished speaking, Yang Shuhui snorted angrily, stood up and walked out without looking back.
Zhou Fohai was confused by this, and he quickly turned to Li Qiang and asked: "What...what's going on? What's wrong with her?"
Li Qiang did not hide anything and directly repeated what he had just said to Yang Shuhui.
It's okay that Zhou Fohai didn't listen. After hearing this, Li Qiang was so angry that he stamped his feet on the spot, "You said you... Oh, I'm really convinced by you. I usually see you quite smart, but when it comes to the critical moment,
Are you stupid all the time? What do you tell her about this kind of thing? "
Li Qiang lowered his head and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, all the mistakes you made are the fault of humble officials. You can be beaten or punished as you like. I am humble and willing to be punished."
"What's the use of talking about this now? You..." After saying this, Zhou Fohai reacted suddenly, "No, you should never act so recklessly, but you did it again, so this
There must be something hidden behind the matter, right?"
"……No."
When he said this, Li Qiang obviously hesitated for a moment, which naturally could not escape Zhou Fohai's eyes, so he snorted and said angrily: "Then it's done?"
"..."
Although Li Qiang chose to remain silent, Zhou Fohai already had concerns in his heart.
"Is it Hui Hai?"
Although Zhou Fohai's sudden question caught Li Qiang off guard, he still tried his best to reply in a calm tone: "No, it's not."
"Answering so simply means you are not telling the truth." Having said this, Zhou Fohai sighed, "Alas! My daughter, although she is not very old, is far superior to me in terms of mind, city, and strategy.
That son is unfortunately born as a girl..."
Speaking of this, the two fell into silence again. After an unknown period of time, Zhou Fohai continued: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Mr. Hu. How likely do you think he is to be that little
open'?"
"It is no exaggeration to say that when I bumped into Mr. Zhou in the Broadway Building, I had already concluded that the man was 'Xiao Kai'. But later, after listening to Mr. Fujita's description of him, this idea was somewhat shaken.
, but even so, I still think this person is very suspicious."
"Well, you're right, thank you for your hard work, but to catch someone's flaws, you need not only keen insight, but also patience. It's a pity that you can't stay here for long."
Li Qiang was not stupid, and he could naturally understand Zhou Fohai's implication that he wanted to leave this matter to his confidants.
In fact, when things progressed to this point, as long as Li Qiang nodded and agreed, no matter what happened next, he could stay out of it. However, he replied in a strange way, "Mr. Zhou, I would like to say that I am overstepping my bounds. I think you are responsible for this matter."
Rather than finding someone else to follow up, it would be better to simply leave it to Master Zhou."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Fohai couldn't help being stunned, but he still said expressionlessly: "Go on."
"I thought that the commotion caused by Master Zhou's escape this time was really too great. The military, police, military, especially the Japanese were almost all mobilized. Even "Master Zhou has been completely popularized by the underground party."
Rumors of treason are rampant. Although it is not obvious yet, it is foreseeable that this matter will inevitably have an extremely negative impact on your political reputation. Therefore, I believe that instead of passively accepting it, it is better to take the initiative and let
Everyone knows that Master Zhou's move is just one link in a series of secret operations to capture the Red Party's senior agent 'Xiao Kai'."
"Well said! To be honest, I really regret it now. If I had known better, I wouldn't have transferred you to the Suppression Headquarters to be the bullshit General Affairs Section Chief, and kept you by my side."
"Beizong is scared, but from Beizhong's point of view, without the previous experience at the Suppression Headquarters, Beizhong wouldn't be where he is today. Even Beizhong's eldest brother is surprised by Beizhong's growth during this period!"
"Speaking of the Suppression Headquarters, what kind of person is Tang Shengming in your eyes?"
"Are you talking about Director Tang? Although everyone knows that he is a playboy, has a lazy attitude towards work, and likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but from the perspective of his humble position, this person is well versed in the ways of officialdom and is by no means ordinary.
It can't be compared with that of a dandy who only knows how to enjoy himself."
