Chapter 7 Uninvited Guests (Seeking investment and collection)
"No. 76? What are they doing here?" After Wu Zi said something, Mingtang turned his head and said, "Don't panic, I'll go over and take a look first to see what they want to do!"
"Brother Mingtang!" Before they finished speaking, Ming Jing and Li Qiang called Mingtang almost in unison.
However, Mingtang just gave the two of them a reassuring look and walked out without looking back.
"No, I'll go out and have a look too!" As soon as Mingtang left, Li Qiang said uneasily, "Sister, please stay here and be patient. I'll be back soon."
Before he finished speaking, he was flatly rejected by Ming Jing, "You're not allowed to go!"
"Sister..."
"Although you and I haven't seen each other for many years, I am still your eldest sister after all! Why, do you dare not even listen to your eldest sister now?"
"I... Ming Qiang didn't dare." Li Qiang knew that the reason why Ming Jing tried so hard to stop him was because he was afraid that he would be blinded by hatred and do something reckless, so he had no choice but to take out half of the bird that had already stepped out of the room.
He retracted his legs, leaving only a gap to observe the situation outside.
At the same time, the banquet hall.
"Who are you? How dare you barge into the private banquet of my Ming family? How brave you are!" Mingtang glared at a group of guys all wearing light gray tunic suits, with his hands behind his back, and yelled loudly.
But before he finished speaking, the leader gave a crooked smile and said, "Who are we, you ask? Hehe, looking at the whole of Shanghai, is there anyone who doesn't recognize our No. 76 outfit? General Manager Ming is really pretending to be confused.
A master!"
"Young people, even if you are from No. 76, you should consider the occasion when you speak. This is a public concession, not the territory of your new government. If you dare to cause trouble here, aren't you afraid of alerting the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau?"
"Hey!" The leader couldn't help but spat after hearing this, and then winked at his subordinates. The latter, without saying anything, immediately showed a warrant, "Look, this is the police from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.
The search warrant was personally signed by the director of the department! General Manager Ming, you should have no objections now, right?"
Mingtang naturally recognized the search warrant from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, so he asked sullenly, "What are you searching for?"
"Then you still have to ask? Of course they are anti-Japanese elements!"
"Joke!" After hearing what the man said, Mingtang laughed angrily, "Although today is a private banquet for my Ming family, it's not just my Ming family who are here, there are also many leaders in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles. Why?
Maybe there are anti-Japanese elements?”
"General Manager Ming, this anti-Japanese activist will not write his true identity on his face. However, we have received a tip that some anti-Japanese elements are preparing to take advantage of the Ming family's banquet to hand over a particularly important piece of information. Mr. Ming
If the manager doesn’t want to be implicated, he’d better cooperate with us!”
Important information? Could it be...
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Qiang, who was hiding in the room, vaguely heard a strange noise coming from behind.
Although he did not look back, Li Qiang immediately turned his watch over quietly and used the small mirror embedded on the back of the watch to see that Ming Jing and Mrs. Su behind him seemed to have some disputes, and in the end it was Ming Jing who
He snatched a note from Mrs. Su's hand and stuffed it into the compartment of his handbag.
It was only then that Li Qiang confirmed his judgment. Soon, the corresponding response plan appeared in his mind...
"Sister, the people on No. 76 have brought a search warrant. Let's not hide here anymore, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion."
"Okay!" Ming Jing looked at Mrs. Su after hearing this, and then continued, "Get out!"
As soon as the three of them returned to the banquet hall, they heard the man headed by No. 76 say unceremoniously: "General Manager Ming, I am not discussing with you. I am also performing official duties. I have offended you!
"
As he said that, the man made a gesture to his subordinates, "Search for me!"
"Yes!" The subordinates responded and immediately swarmed forward, turning the originally harmonious banquet hall upside down.
"Hey! Isn't this the boy group leader? You are..."
Before he finished speaking, Tong Hu, who was still standing there proudly just now, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked around. When he saw that the speaker was indeed the one who had revealed important news to him the day before, he couldn't help but
He asked with a surprised look on his face: "A Qiang? Why are you here too?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Li Qiang, and Mingtang even asked in surprise: "A Qiang, do you know him?"
"Of course! Brother Mingtang, have you forgotten how you met me?"
After hearing what Li Qiang said, Mingtang suddenly slapped his forehead, "Hey! Look at my brain, I almost forgot that you work in the police system of the new government, so naturally you have to deal with people No. 76 often."
"Are you a policeman?"
"Are you a policeman?"
As soon as Mingtang finished speaking, Ming Jing and Tong Hu said almost in unison.
"Yes, he was just transferred from Manchuria Railway and works as an errand at Zhabei Branch."
Mingtang also immediately helped to smooth things over, "I went to Zhabei for business that day and happened to meet A Qiang patrolling the streets. If the ring on his hand hadn't been so conspicuous, I'm afraid we would have missed it."
"It's been a long time, it's just a small patrol!" After learning about Li Qiang's specific duties, Tong Hu's words were immediately mixed with a bit of disdain, "You haven't answered me yet, why did you show up?"
Where are you?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang chuckled and said, "To be honest with you, Team Leader, this banquet today is just to welcome me."
"What did you say? To catch the wind for you?"
"That's right! Who is that, Team Leader Tong, right? What he just said is right, today's banquet was indeed held to welcome him, and besides being a patrolman, he also has an identity, that is, he is a member of our Ming family
Young nephew!"
"Young nephew!? Then your name is..."
Before Tong Hu could finish what he said, Li Qiang took the initiative to extend his right hand to him and said calmly: "Let's get to know each other formally, Team Leader Tong! I'll show you Mingqiang and ask Team Leader Tong for your advice in the future!"
"
Just when Tong Hu was still hesitating whether to shake hands with Li Qiang, he accidentally noticed that Li Qiang secretly gave him several winks in succession.
Could it be that there is a hidden secret in this?
Thinking of this, Tong Hu immediately pretended to be extremely generous and shook hands with Li Qiang generously. Then he ran to the bathroom alone on the pretext of urgent urination and handed Li Qiang to Li Qiang on the pretext of shaking hands.
He took out his piece of paper.
But there were only four words written on the note: Search the Mirror.
As soon as he saw the content on the note, Tong Hu immediately read it twice as if he had found a treasure, then tore up the note and threw it into the toilet and flushed it away.
And when he came out of the bathroom, his face was already covered with a fierce look...
