"Does he know your identity?" Imamura Hyōtaro looked away from the gold bar and asked.
"I don't know. He probably suspected that I had defected to the Japanese Empire a long time ago and was more valued by my husband. Therefore, he took the money and asked me to help him in front of my husband." Cheng Qianfan said.
After a pause, Cheng Qianfan continued to report the situation, "Li Lili said, these five small yellow croakers are for my subordinates' hard work, and the big yellow croakers are for him, Mr. Filial Piety."
Hyōtaro Imamura nodded noncommittally. He picked up two large yellow croakers and knocked them, and the precious metal made a clear and sweet impact sound.
However, Hyōtaro Imamura snorted and threw the gold bars on the table, "They say that this person is extremely greedy and takes money very seriously. It's true."
Cheng Qianfan first showed a puzzled expression, then he was thoughtful, and finally he suddenly realized.
"Understood?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked.
"Yes, I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I have only been a patrol commander for a year, and I am quite wealthy. I am a senior patrol commander in the public concession..."
As he said this, he shook his head and said, "It seems that this person values money very seriously. Not to mention that he has always been clean and honest, judging from this matter, under such circumstances, this person still gives up his life rather than his money."
"Miyazaki-kun, how likely is it that the Eguchi Rangers incident was leaked with great effort?" Imamura Hyōtaro asked.
"It's hard to say." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "With all his hard work and shrewdness, it's impossible not to see that the empire's occupation of Shanghai and even the whole of China is just around the corner. It is expected that he is a person who understands current affairs and will not betray the empire. However, this time
People are extremely greedy, and the possibility of being bribed with money is also extremely high."
"Yes!" Hyōtaro Imamura nodded, "We must both use and guard against the Chinese."
"So, this effort..." Cheng Qianfan asked cautiously.
"Keep him for now. This person is still useful for the time being." Hyōtaro Imamura thought and said, "Let's talk about the future in the future."
"Understood." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He glanced at the gold bars in the box and on the table. "My subordinates know that Mr. has always been honest and look down on these vulgar things. However, the Jiangkou Rangers suffered heavy casualties. This money should be regarded as a labor force."
Give the imperial warriors a pension."
Hyōtaro Imamura frowned and finally sighed, "Well, what you said makes sense. I will make an exception for the sake of the Imperial Warriors."
"Miyazaki has always admired Mr. Miyazaki's character." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully.
…
When leaving, Cheng Qianfan looked at Hyōtaro Imamura, a little hesitant.
Hyōtaro Imamura laughed and pointed at the five small yellow croakers in the box, "Since it's money I've given you for your hard work, take it."
"Mr. Xie." Cheng Qianfan made no secret of his love for money. He happily picked up five small yellow croakers and put them into his pocket.
"You, you, you are good at everything, but you attach too much importance to these external things." Imamura Hyoutarou looked at Cheng Qianfan, showing an expression of hatred for iron.
"Mr. Miyazaki is a disappointment." Cheng Qianfan bowed.
"Okay, I know you." Hyōtaro Imamura patted Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder, "You are a young man I am very optimistic about. You must cultivate yourself and have noble sentiments. Don't always think about these things.
, you must always remember that you are an agent of the Empire of Japan!"
"Miyazaki will always bear in mind Miyazaki's teachings and is willing to protect the glory of the empire with his life!" Cheng Qianfan's eyes seemed to twinkle as he shouted loudly.
Hyōtaro Imamura nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead. Over there, you can calm Li Li first and let him concentrate on serving the empire."
"yes!"
After Cheng Qianfan left, Hyōtaro Imamura had a smile on his face. He knew Kentaro Miyazaki very well. This young man was good at everything, but he was too greedy for money.
This kid just deliberately pointed out these five small yellow croakers as a reward for his hard work.
However, although Miyazaki is greedy for money, in his opinion, this does not matter. What matters is whether Kentaro Miyazaki is honest and loyal to him.
Kentaro Miyazaki has always been sincere to him and has never disappointed him.
Glancing at the bright yellow gold bars in the box and on the table, Imamura Hyoutarou's smile became even brighter:
The warriors of the empire have their own empire to support them, so they should not break the rules themselves, otherwise, it would be chaos.
Hyōtaro Imamura put the gold bars into his safe with peace of mind, played with them reluctantly, and then locked the safe.
Forget it, just let Na Lili live a few more months.
…
After leaving Hyōtaro Imamura's residence, Cheng Qianfan drove back, but he did not go home directly.
Instead, he first went to Li Hao's residence, conveyed an order to Li Hao, and then returned to his home in Yandli.
The next day, Cheng Qianfan called Li Lili's home.
"Brother Fei, congratulations." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Brother Cheng, is it done?" Li Li asked in surprise.
"Kazuo Miyazaki sensed Brother Fei's sincerity and thought it was a misunderstanding. He spoke kindly to Mr. Hyōtaro Imamura for me. Mr. Imamura praised me and recognized my sincerity towards the Japanese."
Cheng Qianfan smiled cheerfully and said, "Brother Fei, congratulations, it's sunny after the rain."
Hearing this, Li Li was overjoyed and said that he would definitely entertain guests someday.
The two exchanged pleasantries again and then hung up the phone.
It was also on this morning that the Intelligence Group 2 and Operations Group 2 of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group received an order from "Mr. Xiao" and chose the opportunity to punish the traitor Li Lili who had defected to the Japanese.
The Intelligence Group 2 led by Hao Zai is responsible for collecting intelligence.
The second action group led by Zhuo Yun is responsible for action sanctions.
…
French Concession, Mailan District.
A Shikumen residence.
When Mrs. He came in, she saw Huang Xiaolan feeding He Guan chicken soup with a spoon, with a smile on her face.
He Guan woke up a week ago and stayed in Bethel Hospital for five days. For safety and confidentiality reasons, he left the hospital the day before yesterday and rented a house nearby to recuperate.
Seeing her son escape from death and slowly getting better, Mrs. He's mood improved. Looking at the young couple, they were already planning to get married after their son fully recovered.
She is now completely satisfied with Huang Xiaolan.
"Auntie." Seeing Mrs. He come in, Huang Xiaolan was a little shy and stood up quickly.
"This child." Mrs. He looked at Huang Xiaolan's tired face and said distressedly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It should be." Huang Xiaolan said.
"Yes, yes, it should be." Mrs. He smiled from ear to ear.
"I'll get another bowl of chicken soup." After all, a girl's house is a girl's house. Huang Xiaolan ran away with the small bowl.
"Mom, please stop teasing Xiaolan, she is already shy." He Guan said.
"This is not a joke." Mrs. He muttered, remembering the serious matter explained by her brother, and said, "Aguan, your uncle and I have discussed it. When you recover from your injury, you will go back to work in the patrol room."
Previously, when He Guan went to join the army, Jin Kemu took the current situation into account and did not make any announcement. Now it seems that his caution was right.
Judging from the current war situation, the possibility of the Japanese occupying Shanghai is extremely high. Returning to the patrol room to work is also the greatest protection for He Guan's own safety.
"Mom, didn't I tell you, I want to go back to the army." He Guan frowned.
"No." After hearing this, Mrs. He shook her head resolutely, "Mom can't listen to you this time."
Seeing that He Guan still persisted, Mrs. He's eyes became sore and tears fell, "Son, you have almost died once. Do you know how your mother survived the time when you were injured? Mom, I'm sorry.
I dare not close my eyes at night. Whenever I close my eyes, I think of your brother. When your brother went to join the army, my mother should have stopped him."
"My brother is a great hero who sacrificed his life for the country." He Guan said.
"Yes, your brother is a hero, and so are you." Mrs. He looked at her stubborn son with tears in her eyes, "Son, my mother doesn't want to be the mother of a hero."
