…

Cheng Qianfan asked Li Hao to drive, while he himself fell into thinking.

What happened to Zhang Ping?

Probably not.

This matter has been handled in a timely and skillful manner by him, and the key to solving the matter has been handed over to Araki Harima's hands. With Araki's temperament and current ability, Cheng Qianfan believes that Araki will help him handle it very beautifully.

What happened to Chen Xiangjun?

Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, then thought about it for a moment and rejected it.

For some unknown reason, Sanbonjiro's trust in Wang Kangnian seemed to have suddenly increased, which also forced Araki Harima to temporarily shelve his original plan:

The plan itself is not actually about Chen Xiangjun, nor is it even about whether Wang Kangnian really has a problem. The focus is on how much trust Sanbonjiro has in Wang Kangnian, or to put it bluntly, whether Sanbonjiro still thinks Wang Kangnian has important value.

.

Cheng Qianfan was not in a hurry. To get rid of Wang Kangnian through Japanese hands, he needed to be patient. He could not act in a hurry and alert the enemy. What he wanted was to hit with one hit.

"Brother Fan, do you want to inform the brothers to follow?" Haozi asked.

"Little monkey." Cheng Qianfan said casually.

"Yes!" Li Hao nodded, rolled down the window, and gestured toward the outside. He saw a car following him. There was a passenger in the car and two people in the back seat.

…

Li Hao drove the car and drove around to Luoton Road.

Lorton, the road name was named in memory of a Frenchman living in Shanghai who died in the Battle of Verdun in World War I.

There are many such road names in the French Concession. For example, Kaufmann Road is to commemorate a Westerner who worked for the Yunnan Post Office and died for France in World War I.

Yes, even if an ordinary foreigner with only the slightest connection with Shanghai died fighting for the powerful French Republic, the French Concession authorities would name the roads in the French Concession after him, making the entire concession and the entire Shanghai

Everyone comes to remember this 'warrior'.

This is the tragedy of a poor and weak country!

That’s it!

…

Li Hao got out of the car, looked around cautiously, and then walked around to help Cheng Qianfan open the door.

"Wait for me here." Cheng Qianfan got out of the car and said, "There are two people coming over from the little monkey."

"Understood." Li Hao waved his hand towards the car following behind.

"Brother Fan." Hou Pingliang trotted over with one of his men, following behind "Mr. Xiao Cheng" in a swaggering manner.

This is an office building transformed from a Shikumen residence.

There was a sign saying 'Tongda Sea and Land Transportation Trading Company'.

"Vice President Cheng, please come inside." An agent from the Special High School Course pretended to be a staff member and was waiting at the door.

Cheng Qianfan strode in, and Hou Pingliang and the others were about to follow.

"You two, please stay."

Hou Pingliang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes looked at Brother Fan, and his hands moved directly to his waist.

"Don't get me wrong, we have prepared tea and snacks to entertain the two brothers."

Hou Pingliang looked at Cheng Qianfan.

"Go." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "Boss Huang is an old friend."

Hou Pingliang then removed his hands from his waist, forced out a smile, and followed the man away with his men.

…

"That person just now is the Hou Pingliang you mentioned?" Araki Harima clinked glasses with Kentaro Miyazaki and said.

Just now, he was standing by the corridor window and saw the scene below clearly.

"It's him." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of sake and said.

"It seems that you still trust this Chinese." Araki Harima said.

"His beloved woman died in the hands of Chongqing." Cheng Qianfan expressed his satisfaction, "After my subtle guidance, this man hates Chongqing deeply."

Araki Harima nodded. Miyazaki once mentioned to him that Hou Pingliang liked the little maid next to Lou Lianxiang.

"This is a stupid guy with a single mind. If I treat him a little better and give him a little guidance, he will be loyal to me," Cheng Qianfan said.

With that said, Cheng Qianfan put down his wine glass, picked up the cigarette case on the table, lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Imperial's cigarettes are the most flavorful."

When Araki Harima saw this, he looked solemn and said seriously, "Thank you for your hard work, Miyazaki-kun."

To avoid suspicion, Miyazaki is not allowed to smoke Imperial cigarettes.

"Why didn't you bring Li Hao here?" Araki Harima also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked.

"Li Hao is Li Hao, and Hou Pingliang is Hou Pingliang." Cheng Qianfan raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Although I don't like Chinese people very much, but don't you think it's interesting to train two loyal Chinese subordinates?"

Araki Harima laughed.

"Araki-kun, you came to me so urgently, you didn't just ask me to drink and chat, right?" Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Araki Harima, took a sip of wine, clicked his tongue with satisfaction, and ate another bite of food.

"There is indeed a very urgent matter." Araki Harima nodded, put down his chopsticks, and said with a serious expression.

When Cheng Qianfan saw this, he also put down his chopsticks, with a serious attitude of listening carefully.

"In recent days, the Locust Army has stepped up inspections of land transportation, docks, and checkpoints leaving Shanghai. Miyazaki-kun must have heard about it," Araki Harima asked.

"Of course I know." Cheng Qianfan nodded and snorted, "My cargo ships are subject to strict inspections when leaving Shanghai, and the business has also been affected."

As he said that, when he saw Araki Harima's serious expression, his expression changed. He put out the cigarette in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Araki-kun, what happened?"
