"Alright everyone, let's get started with today's meeting! As I said before, to revitalize Shanghai's economy, it's not enough for me, Minglou, alone. I hope you can work together to help Shanghai weather this crisis.
This is the most difficult period!”
After an hour and a half of analysis and discussion, Minglou finally announced the adjournment of the meeting.
However, Li Qiang did not stand up to say goodbye like the others, but sat steadily in his seat, as if waiting for something.
It was not long, and only Minglou, Acheng and Li Qiang were left in the room.
Immediately afterwards, with a "click" of the lock, Ming Lou stood up and left his seat, walked slowly to Li Qiang, and asked word by word: "Who are you?"
Li Qiang did not speak, but slowly unbuttoned his collar and put his hand in.
"What are you going to do?" This move obviously stimulated Cheng, who was already on full alert, and he couldn't help but yelled.
Li Qiang smiled, "Don't be so nervous, Cheng!"
While speaking, Li Qiang pulled out a necklace hidden under his shirt from his neck, which immediately surprised Minglou.
If it was just an ordinary necklace, Minglou wouldn't be so surprised, but there was a ring with a great history attached to the necklace, which made it hard not to surprise him.
"This is... third uncle's ring, why is it in your hand?"
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang sighed in disappointment after hearing this, "So that day at Zhou Mansion, you weren't just pretending, but you really didn't recognize me? Brother Minglou! I'm Ming Qiang!"
"You said your surname is Ming? So...you are really my third uncle..."
"Is this still false? Otherwise, why do you think I would put so much effort into coaxing my eldest sister to go to Suzhou for you and come to the meeting on her behalf?"
"So, I still have to thank you?"
"Of course! Why don't eldest sister lift the roof of your house today?"
Minglou knew that this was not because Li Qiang was trying to scare him. He was really going to make Mingjing anxious. God knew what crazy things she would do. Thinking about it, Minglou felt a little scared.
"Okay, I owe you a favor, okay?"
"Here! You said this! Let's go!" After saying that, Li Qiang stood up and walked out.
When he reached the door, Acheng was about to reach out to stop him, but Minglou stopped him with his eyes, so he could only watch as Li Qiang walked out in a swaggering manner.
"Is there any result in the Northeast?" As soon as Li Qiang left, Minglou immediately put away the smile on his face and asked expressionlessly.
"Yes, but..."
"But what?"
"Although from the results of the investigation, there is nothing wrong with this Aqiang, I still don't quite believe in his identity."
"It's not a bad thing to be skeptical, not to mention that there are indeed too many mysteries hidden in him." At this point, Minglou paused, and then continued to ask, "Where is Paris?"
"We haven't found anything suspicious either," Ah Cheng replied truthfully.
"It seems that either we are indeed paranoid, or we have really encountered a difficult opponent this time!"
"what should we do?"
He didn't want Minglou to sigh, "Just wait and see what happens! Remember, to see a person clearly, don't listen to what he said, but what he did. Only behavior is the hard logic!"
"Then... what if he is just like you, big brother, and even his behavior is disguised?" Cheng asked cautiously.
"That means he is a real pretender, and he is ready to sacrifice for this disguise at any time!"
…
The time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
People were coming and going in front of the Zhou Mansion, and it was very lively. The number of cars parked at the door and the variety of brands were even comparable to a small international auto show.
Acheng and Minglou got out of the car one after another, and at a glance they saw Li Qiang leading a team to receive guests and maintain order at the entrance of the mansion.
However, the two parties seemed to not know each other, and there was not much communication. Acheng and Minglou walked in under Li Qiang's bow.
"Mr. Ming, Mr. Zhou is waiting for you." As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper of Zhou's residence immediately greeted him and said respectfully.
"Is Section Chief Nan Zao here?"
"Here we come. The Special Higher Education Department attaches great importance to the 'peace conference' proposed by Chairman Wang. Please..."
After saying that, the housekeeper took the initiative to lead the way to Minglou, and Cheng followed closely behind.
However, after walking a few steps, he accidentally bumped into Nanzo Yunzi who had just come out of the conference room.
So Minglou explained apologetically: "Hurry up and hurry up, we're still half an hour late. Has Section Chief Nan Zao finished talking to Mr. Zhou?"
Nanzo Yunzi nodded, "We've finished talking. I just have something I want to talk to you about. You go up first, I'll wait for you in the small living room."
"Okay, see you later!"
After saying that, Minglou walked sideways upstairs, but just when Acheng was about to follow him, he was stopped by the guard at the stairs.
"A-Cheng, just wait for me here!" Although he felt as unhappy as A-Cheng, his reason still calmed Minglou down and he ordered.
Cheng nodded knowingly and took back his foot that was about to step out.
When Nan Zao Yunzi saw the scene in front of him, he smiled slightly, and after Ming Lou went upstairs, he took the initiative to walk towards Acheng...
It has to be said that not only Wang Jingwei, but also Zhou Fohai attached great importance to this so-called "peace conference", so much so that he spent more than an hour explaining some trivial matters and precautions related to the conference to Minglou.
After finally coming out of the study, Minglou walked straight into the small suite on the first floor, where Nan Zao Yunzi was already waiting there.
"I would like to reach a specific cooperation plan with Mr. Ming regarding the security issues of the 'Peace Conference' held by Mr. Wang." After politely asking Minglou to sit down, Nanzo Yunzi got straight to the point.
"Director Nan Zao, my first priority right now is to stabilize the economy and prevent Shanghai's economic collapse. It's easy to tell that I'm exhausted right now. I really have limited energy and no way to do anything else!"
After hearing this, Nanzo Yunzi chuckled, "I know Mr. Ming is very busy, but I wouldn't come to you for discussion in such a hurry if I didn't have an emergency."
"According to Mr. Zhou's arrangement, the secret service I am responsible for is to arrange in detail the timetable for the important officials from various provinces to attend the meeting. You know, the workload of this alone is unimaginably huge, and the identities of the participants are very personal.
All of them are important, not only important but also very sensitive. There is absolutely no room for any mistakes. To be honest, I just wanted to ask Section Chief Nan Zao to help share the burden!"
"Mr. Ming is so awesome. I want you to be my helper, but I have to share the work with you. In that case, let's divide the work and take responsibility!"
Minglou nodded slightly, "Wise choice."
After saying that, Minglou didn't plan to stay any longer. He stood up and was about to leave. However, he was stopped by Nan Zao Yunzi again...
