From Eguchi Hideya, he had already learned about Hyōtaro Imamura's status in the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, and he also knew that Imamura had a profound background in Japan's military and political circles.
Looking at the current war situation in Shanghai, it is almost inevitable that the Japanese will occupy Shanghai. By then, Shanghai will be under the control of the Japanese.
If Imamura had doubts about him, he might be shot by the Japanese at some point.
He claims to be loyal to the Japanese. Isn't this even more unfair than Dou E's?
"Brother, I was wronged. How come this old devil Imamura can't tell the difference between black and white?" Li Li cursed.
"Brother Fei, be careful what you say." Cheng Qianfan's face darkened and his voice was stern, "Mr. Imamura is a respectable guest. Brother, you made a mistake."
Li Li was startled by Cheng Qianfan's sinister eyes. He patted his mouth and said, "It's my brother. I'm unscrupulous."
At the same time, Li Li cursed in his heart, Cheng Qianfan, this bastard, seems to be a hard-core traitor, and there is no one else here, so scolding the Japanese makes him as angry as if he scolded his father.
Li Li secretly cursed Cheng Qianfan as a hardcore traitor, but at the same time felt that he should learn from Cheng Qianfan.
…
"Brother Fei, don't worry." Cheng Qianfan comforted him, "I think the Japanese are not unreasonable. I know Miyazaki Kazuo better. He has always had a good attitude towards us and other people who are friendly to Japan. He promised to help Fei
Let me tell you clearly. As long as things are made clear and sincerity is shown, the Japanese should be able to clear up their misunderstanding about Brother Fei."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Li Li nodded and said, seeing Cheng Qianfan looking at him with a smile, he naturally understood what this guy meant.
"Brother Cheng, in your opinion, how sincere is this?" Li Li asked.
"It's hard to say." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Brother Fei, I can't make the final decision regarding your wealth and future. It depends on your sincerity, brother."
Li Li cursed secretly in his mind, gritted his teeth, raised three fingers, "Thirty large yellow croakers."
Cheng Qianfan stood up and was about to leave.
Li Lili hurriedly came over and grabbed Cheng Qianfan, "Brother Cheng, brother, what are you doing?"
"Since Brother Fei doesn't care about his wealth and future, what can I say?" Cheng Qianfan said with a look of hatred for iron.
Seeing the hesitation, Cheng Qianfan stamped his foot, "Brother Fei, my brother Fei, how long has it been, and you still can't bear to part with these extraneous things!"
Do you call those big yellow croakers that are outside your body?
…
Laborious and indecisive.
Seeing Cheng Qianfan shaking his head and about to leave, he finally gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, "Fifty large yellow croakers, brother, I can only take out so much now."
Cheng Qianfan stared at Li Li with a hesitant expression. Finally, he sighed, "You and I are brothers. Now that you are in trouble, brother, I can't just stand by and watch."
Gritting his teeth, Cheng Qianfan said, "In this case, I will take out fifteen large yellow croakers, and you will take out another fifteen large yellow croakers, making it eighty. Money is something external to the body, and what is important is yours, brother."
Worth and future.”
Li Lili looked at Cheng Qianfan, showing emotion, clasping his hands and saying, "The friendship between brothers, Li Lili will remember it."
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. I'm waiting here for Brother Fei." Cheng Qianfan said.
"That's right." Li Li clasped his fists again and left in a hurry.
About half an hour later, Inspector Lili came back carrying a pink wooden box.
"Brother, please count, there are sixty-five large yellow croakers." He struggled to unlock and open the box. His body ached so much that he turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it.
Cheng Qianfan didn't move.
Li Li cursed in his mind, took out a cloth bag from his briefcase, poured it out on the table, and found seven small yellow croakers.
"Brother Fei, what does this mean?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised.
"Brother, I have asked a lot about the Japanese about my matter before, and I must have paid something. How can I let Brother Cheng pay for it out of his own pocket?" Li Li said. When he saw Cheng Qianfan still refusing, he glared and said, "Take it."
Stay here, otherwise you will look down on me, brother."
"Oops." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "That's true. If that's the case, I will reluctantly accept it."
Watching Cheng Qianfan quickly put the little yellow croaker into his bag and put it into his briefcase, the muscles in the corner of Li Li's mouth twitched, and he could barely hold back the anger in his heart.
…
Afterwards, Cheng Qianfan started to ‘do business’.
He carefully counted the large yellow croakers in the wooden box:
I saw him stacking the large yellow croakers again, covering the box, locking it, and picking up the box.
"Without further delay, I'm going to see Kazuo Miyazaki right now. Don't worry, brother, this matter will be handled properly." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"Brother Cheng, please." Li Li clasped his hands in his fists, but glanced at the wooden box from time to time.
After Cheng Qianfan left, Li Li sat on the chair as if he had lost his soul.
"The Japanese are stupid, and Cheng Qianfan is so stupid." Li Li cursed.
He was sure that the bastard Cheng Qianfan would never take out fifteen more large yellow croakers by himself. The bastard just said that just to force him to take out another fifteen large yellow croakers!
Li Li can almost conclude that out of the sixty-five large yellow croakers, Cheng Qianfan, a man who suffered a thousand cuts, must have lost at least fifteen!
What a sin!
Li Lifeng slapped his forehead vigorously, thinking about joining the Japanese for their popular food and drink. The Japanese hadn't even taken over Shanghai yet, and they had already lost a lot of money here!
…
Cheng Qianfan drove the car in the direction of Huangpu Road.
On the way, he turned back and returned to his home in Yandli via another road.
Bai Ruolan took Xiaobao to visit her mistress, He Xuelin.
Cheng Qianfan opened the door and went upstairs and entered the study.
Unlocking and opening the wooden box, he first took out twenty large yellow croakers.
After thinking for a while, he took out twenty more large yellow croakers.
Kazuo Miyazaki had twenty large yellow croakers, and he, the middleman, had twenty large yellow croakers. This is very reasonable.
Looking at the twenty-five large yellow croakers left in the wooden box, Cheng Qianfan thought for a while, took out five more large yellow croakers, and then took out five small yellow croakers from the cloth pocket of his briefcase and put them into the wooden box.
Finally, he put the remaining two small yellow croakers in the bag back into his briefcase and locked the forty-five large yellow croakers in his safe.
Cheng Qianfan carried a wooden box containing twenty large yellow croakers and five small yellow croakers, went downstairs, locked the door, drove the car, and sped towards Hyōtaro Imamura's residence.
…
"This is this?" Hyōtaro Imamura looked at the wooden box on the table and asked.
In the open wooden box, twenty large yellow croakers and five small yellow croakers glowed a charming golden color under the illumination of incandescent lamps.
"My subordinates met Li Li today and listened in on them... He learned that the empire suspected him of leaking secrets. Li Li was frightened." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "This man is really cunning. He took these gold bars and asked me to help him."
His intercession."
Hyōtaro Imamura looked at the gold bars again.
Cheng Qianfan also glanced secretly and paused in his words.
"My subordinate is an agent of the Empire of Japan. He is loyal to the empire. How can he accept bribes from such despicable Chinese people? I came here to report this matter to sir." He continued with an indignant look on his face.
