Cheng Qianfan stood next to the car downstairs, and his men in raincoats stood aside holding umbrellas for him.
First, I saw the lights on the second floor turn on, and then Hu Meiyuan's pretty face looked over from the window.
The handsome and handsome 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' waved his hand and ignored whether Hu Meiyuan saw it. He took off the cigarette from his mouth and threw it in a faint arc. He turned around and had his subordinates help him get into the car.
"Go to the hospital."
"yes!"
…
Watching the two cars disappear in the wind and rain, Hu Meiyuan closed the window and drew the curtains.
"Why didn't you invite Mr. Cheng to come up and sit down?" A pleasant voice sounded behind Hu Meiyuan.
"The time is not right." Hu Meiyuan said without looking back, shaking her head slightly.
Cheng Qianfan's mistress, the woman named Ying Huaizhen, was very capable.
Mr. Xiao Cheng hugged her from left to right. Uncharacteristically, this woman did not act or make trouble. Instead, she acted very calmly and actively signaled to send her home first.
However, when getting out of the car, Ying Huaizhen took out an amulet from Xiaokun's bag and said that she prayed for the safety of Mrs. Cheng and the little boy in Mrs. Cheng's belly, and that she had asked the eminent monk of Lingyin Temple to consecrate it.
Hu Meiyuan took one look at the woman getting out of the car and immediately adjusted her plan.
Ying Huaizhen used Yangmou.
"Don't be fooled by this man's appearance. Although Mr. Cheng is a flirtatious man, he is actually far more cunning than you think." The pleasant voice said.
"I heard that Cheng Qianfan also showed a certain interest in you." Hu Meiyuan looked at the other party with a half-smile, "If you hadn't gone to Hong Kong, Miss Tian might have stripped you naked and sent you to Cheng Qianfan.
on the bed.”
"Then you should address me as second sister now." Qiu Xing's face darkened and she said coldly. She glanced at Hu Meiyuan and said, "Weren't you also arranged to get close to Cheng Qianfan?"
"My understanding of Cheng Qianfan is far deeper than what you know." Hu Meiyuan smiled, "You don't have to listen and test me anymore."
Qiu Xing frowned. She received an order from 'Miss Tian' to find out the purpose of Hu Meiyuan coming to Shanghai from Manchuria. Now that she noticed that Hu Meiyuan deliberately approached Cheng Qianfan, it was inevitable that there would be more speculations and suspicions.
"Let's make some arrangements. I want to see Miss Tian." Hu Meiyuan chuckled lightly, held a long and thin lady's cigarette between her index and middle fingers, took a puff and said.
"Sorry, Miss Tian is not in Shanghai recently." Qiu Xing shook her head and said.
"Your eyes tell me that you are lying." Hu Meiyuan blew out the smoke ring gently, "Two days, I will see Miss Tian within two days, otherwise, I will call General Dofei Yuan to report some things truthfully."
Qiu Xing's expression changed, and she took a deep look at Hu Meiyuan, "I will convey your request, but there is one thing I want to remind you."
"Please say."
"'Miss Tian' doesn't like people threatening her the most." Qiu Xing's expression was cold, and her tone was even colder.
…
"My wife just fell asleep." Li Zi whispered.
"What did the doctor say?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"The doctor just came to check half an hour ago and said (my wife and child) are fine." Lizi said, "The nurse will also come to check the ward on time."
"Where's Mother Lu?"
"Mother Lu went back to make soup and said she can drink it when she wakes up."
"Go." Cheng Qianfan nodded and sent the little maid away.
It was rare for Bai Ruolan to fall asleep, so he couldn't disturb her. Besides, she had just returned from the assassination scene and smelled of blood, so she shouldn't get too close to the pregnant woman.
With his hands in his trouser pockets and a cigarette between his teeth, which was not lit, Cheng Qianfan was walking in the corridor outside the delivery room as if he was bored.
The assassination of Chen Zhuan at the Shanghai Station was unexpected but not unexpected for Cheng Qianfan.
It is not surprising because Chen Zhuan was the "Foreign Minister" of the Nanjing Puppet Reform Government and one of the top traitors within the Nanjing Reform Government. Naturally, he had long been on the military commander's assassination list.
The surprise was that this matter was a separate operation of the Shanghai Station, and Dai Chunfeng did not ask him to secretly provide support and help. In fact, he and Chen Zhuan had recently become good friends and could secretly provide some help.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan can probably guess that Dai Bureau's consideration is to try to avoid contact between the Shanghai Special Situation Group and Shanghai Station. At the same time, this is what Cheng Qianfan has always hoped for.
From a professional perspective, Cheng Qianfan reviewed the entire process of Chen Zhuan's assassination in his mind.
Chen Zhuan's residence had nearly twenty bodyguards. However, during the entire assassination process, until Chen Zhuan was shot and killed by Lu Xingge, the bodyguards of Chen Zhuan's residence were seriously derelict in their duties and did not play any early warning or defensive role.
New Year's Day!
Cheng Qianfan thought about it for a while and admired the people at Shanghai Station who formulated this action plan.
Shanghai Station chose to carry out the attack on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the guests of Chen Zhuan's residence were gathering. It seemed that there were too many people to hide and it was not suitable for assassination. In fact, because of this special day, the bodyguards of Chen's residence were careless and the entire security force was seriously deserted.
.
…
"Haozi." Cheng Qianfan suddenly said.
"Brother Fan, I'm here."
"Arrange more manpower in the hospital, especially near the wards," Cheng Qianfan ordered.
"Yes!" Li Hao nodded with a serious expression.
Chen Zhuan was assassinated under "tight security" conditions. The most direct reaction of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" was:
He must strengthen the protection of his wife Bai Ruolan.
After being severely warned by Sanbonjiro, Zhang Xiaolin temporarily stopped taking actions against him.
However, Cheng Qianfan did not dare to be careless at all. If Zhang Xiaolin, an old dog, suddenly jumped up and took a bite, he might really suffer a big loss without noticing.
In addition, there is Wang Kangnian. Wang Kangnian has been very quiet after receiving Araki Harima's warning. However, this quietness makes Cheng Qianfan even more alert.
In addition to the two enemies Zhang Xiaolin and Wang Kangnian, there are also so many large and small, well-known or unknown anti-Japanese groups and patriots. Although Mr. Xiao Cheng has not publicly "treason and surrendered to Japan", almost no one will doubt it.
With the statement "Cheng Qianfan will definitely be a traitor in the future", it is difficult to say whether there will be passionate anti-Japanese elements who will take action against him and his family.
"One more thing." Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about it, "Check up Hu Meiyuan."
"Brother Fan, do you suspect there is something wrong with this woman?"
"Let's check first." Cheng Qianfan said. His intuition told him that Hu Meiyuan approached him deliberately. At the banquet in Chen's Mansion, it looked like he was a hunter and Hu Meiyuan was the prey he was targeting. In fact, he was the hunter.
The extremely charming and beautiful Hu Meiyuan 'inevitably' attracted the attention of the 'money-greedy and lustful' Mr. Cheng.
It would be unreasonable if the famous Cheng Qianfan didn't take the initiative to get in touch with such a great beauty Hu Meiyuan.
Yes, it is understandable that a woman would take the initiative to climb onto the high branches of his little Mr. Cheng and climb onto the big bed of the Cheng family. However, Hu Meiyuan gave him a somewhat different feeling.
This is an indescribable feeling.
Or, this feeling can be described as: Cheng Qianfan feels like he is prey.
To be precise, 'intuition' is a better word to describe it.
"Be careful." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and added, "We will only check what we can for the time being."
"I know." Haozi nodded, he understood what Brother Fan meant.
…
The next day.
After dancing all night in the ballroom, Lu Xingge smiled bitterly and said that he had to rush home to deal with the interrogation of the tigress at home. He declined further invitations from his female partner and left the ballroom with a tired look on his face.
"Extra number, extra number!"
"The 'Iron-Blooded Army' broke through the door and Foreign Minister Chen went to hell at night!"
The news that Chen Zhuan, the ‘Foreign Minister’ of the Nanjing Reform Government, returned to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year and was assassinated at his home was obviously a gimmick that today’s newsboys were shouting and selling.
After hearing that the great traitor Chen Zhuan was assassinated, Shanghai citizens burst into buying enthusiasm.
The little newsboys were obviously prepared. After the newspapers on hand were sold out, they rushed to pick up the goods. After a while, another pile of brand-new newspapers that smelled of ink was waved in their hands again.
Lu Xinge bought a piece of flatbread and a duck egg, rolled them up and ate them.
Then I also bought a newspaper and had a great time eating the narrative of the death of Foreign Minister Chen, which was vividly described by the editors and editors in the newspaper.
From time to time, he echoed the opinions of the citizens around him.
No one would have thought that this man wearing a peaked cap and chewing big cakes would be the anti-Japanese hero who made this shocking act last night!
…
"Were you at the scene when Chen Zhuan was killed?" After receiving the tea handed over by Miyazaki Kentaro, Imamura took a sip and asked casually.
"Teacher asked me to get closer to this person before, and we have become closer during this period." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "I happened to go to the Chen Mansion yesterday to pay New Year's greetings. I never thought that I would encounter such a thing."
"What do you think about Chen Zhuan's assassination?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked.
"Nine times out of ten, it was Chongqing who did it." Cheng Qianfan said without thinking, "To be more precise, it is more likely that the military commander took action."
"The impact of this incident is very bad." Hyōtaro Imamura said solemnly, "Many Chinese people who love the empire will be shaken and they will be afraid."
"This is exactly the purpose of Chongqing's frequent assassinations." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"Do you know what Mr. Iwai said about them?" Imamura Hyōtaro took a sip of tea and said.
Cheng Qianfan immediately made a respectful listening gesture.
"It's hooliganism that can't be put on the table." Imamura Hyōtaro sneered and said.
"Your Majesty Iwai's words hit the nail on the head." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said with a serious expression, "Such assassinations are just trivial, which just shows that Chongqing is losing ground on the frontal battlefield. They cannot confront the empire in an open and honest manner, so
You can only use these evil tricks."
"The assassination of Chen Zhuan must be solved as soon as possible in order to calm people's hearts." Hyoutaro Imamura said solemnly, "It is not good that such an appalling political assassination occurred during the Spring Festival."
"Hai." Cheng Qianfan put his legs together and said respectfully.
He knew that this was not what Hyoutaro Imamura told him. It was estimated that this would be a request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relevant functional departments, such as the Special Higher Education Course and the Military Police Brigade.
Of course, it was also the request of the Nanjing Reform Government to the relevant departments, but the latter's words really had little strength and influence.
"Kentaro, take a look at this information." Hyōtaro Imamura took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Kentaro Miyazaki.
"Hai." Cheng Qianfan took the document with both hands.
…
"The comrades of Special Branch were extremely shocked to notice that the Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang conducted frequent exercises. They not only buried signs and planted sun flags everywhere, but also used real guns and live ammunition."
"In addition, the Japanese army will also transport a large amount of military supplies and two cannons to Shenyang."
"In August, Teko further discovered some anomalies in places such as the South Manchuria Railway Station."
"The large warehouse at the station was already very large, but now it has expanded a lot."
"It used to be surrounded by barbed wire, but now it's surrounded by wooden boards to prevent people from outside looking in."
"In addition, many temporary military tents were erected around the warehouse and many bunkers were dug."
"Teko's comrades looked in secretly from a high place and found that there were many Japanese young people receiving military training inside... It seemed that the Japanese were about to take action."
"The situation is urgent. The comrades of Special Branch immediately reported the situation to the higher-level party organization, and the higher-ups specifically requested us to continue to detect the enemy's situation."
"Especially in Dalian, where the Japanese activities are most intensive, the organization sent comrades to penetrate into the enemy's interior to try to obtain further trends and secrets about the Japanese army's possible invasion of China."
"In the future, information will be sent out one after another. This information is simply shocking."
"In order to remind the Northeast authorities, the Special Branch, with the approval of the headquarters, sent a report to the then Chairman Zang of the Liaoning Provincial Government in early September of the 20th year of the Republic of China, asking him to be wary of the Japanese possibly attacking Shenyang."
"But we are disappointed that our intelligence was not taken seriously."
"Later we learned that the Japanese army used the two cannons discovered by our comrades to bombard the North Camp of the Northeastern Army."
Cheng Qianfan closed the document, looking thoughtful and puzzled.
"Teacher, what is this?" He looked at Hyōtaro Imamura.
"An underground organization of the Red Party was uncovered in Manchuria, and this is a confidential document that was seized." Hyoutaro Imamura said, "This should be a record of a Red Party member from the Manchuria Special Branch reporting to their organization.
"
"Manchuria Special Branch, Red Party." Cheng Qianfan thought, "This kind of reporting material is very confidential. It seems that a more important Red Party organization has been cracked in Manchuria."
"What did you see from those documents just now?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked.
"Judging from the documents, before the 'Wicker Lake Incident', the so-called Manchurian Special Branch of the Red Party was concerned and vigilant about some of the empire's actions. They even issued a warning to the Northeastern Army. Fortunately, the Northeastern Army
Ignore them." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"What else?" Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"And..." Cheng Qianfan smiled, "Teacher is testing me."
He looked like he was thinking seriously and hard. After about half a minute, his eyes lit up and he said, "Teacher, the student has thought of it."
With that said, he opened the document again and found a few sentences and pointed them out to Imamura Hyoutarou, "Teacher, please read, these sentences contain extremely important information."
