As soon as Ai Xiuren came out of the prison, he first asked for land and then asked for his brother to be released. He seemed to be pushing too far and not knowing how to advance or retreat.
However, Lin Chuang felt that this man was sincere.
The younger brother gave his niece as a gift to his boss in order to seek glory and wealth. Although this kind of thing was unethical, it still gave them a way out when Ai Xiuren and his daughter were desperate and had no livelihood.
This kind of thing is consistent with human selfish nature and is not considered a great evil.
Ai Xiuren's ability to put aside past grudges, remember his responsibility as an elder brother, and take into consideration the kindness of his deceased parents shows that he has a good nature.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I have nothing to repay, so I will kowtow to you."
When Ai Xiuren heard that Lin Chuang had agreed, he was moved to tears and was about to kneel down when he left his seat.
"No, no, no, this little thing is not worth kneeling down on. Xiaoyi, hurry up, hold on to your father!"
Lin Chuang was far away and had no time to stop him, so he had to ask Ai Wanyi to stop him nearby.
"Dad, don't kneel down if you don't let me, sir." Ai Wanyi quickly stopped her.
But she couldn't stop him at all. Ai Xiuren knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times "dong dong dong".
The head was knocked so sincerely that one could hear the sound of the head hitting the floor.
"Daughter, as a human being, you must know how to repay kindness and never be ungrateful."
Ai Wanyi helped Ai Xiuren up, and Ai Xiuren stood up and taught her daughter a few words.
"Well, dad, I know, I will definitely repay sir." Ai Wanyi nodded and said.
…
Lin Chuang did not place Ai Xiuren at the center just on a whim, nor did he show kindness indiscriminately.
Keep him by your side, and sooner or later you will be able to find out what he is like.
It is easy for an honest person to find out.
…
Time soon came to the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China.
Dean Wang was regarded as a hero in the hearts of many people because of his heroic feat of assassinating the Prince of Qing in his early years; and because he drafted a will on behalf of the former Prime Minister, many followers regarded him as the spokesperson of the former Prime Minister.
Therefore, this person has a great reputation. Once the "Yandian" came out, it had a great influence. Many followers rushed to Shanghai from Chongqing or other places to seek refuge.
Since January, more than ten former senior officials of the Kuomintang Party have come to Shanghai.
These people all call themselves "leftists" and are loyal followers of Dean Wang.
On January 19, Lin Chuang received a call from Zhu Daoshan as soon as he got to work.
"Xiao Lin, come with me to the station to greet some important guests today. Do you have time?"
"Sir, when summoned, you should accompany him."
"Okay, the guests will arrive at 10 o'clock, and I will arrive at the station at 9:30."
After that, Zhu Daoshan hung up the phone.
"Zhu Daoshan came to greet him personally, which shows that he has a lot of background. Who is it? Will Sun Shou's team assassinate him at the station?" Lin Chuang wondered secretly.
Since Fu Xiao'an was assassinated, the military command has been very quiet, and no more telegrams have been sent.
But Lin Chuang knew that Sun Shou's team had a "special mission" and would definitely be waiting in secret.
According to Lin Chuang's understanding, this "opportunity" should be to wait for the big fish and then carry out the assassination.
If the "fish" that came today is big enough, the possibility of Sun Shou's assassination cannot be ruled out.
Ding Manli was always waiting by Lin Chuang's side when she was at work.
"Director Ding, are there any security missions today?" Lin Chuang asked.
"I didn't receive the order." Ding Manli replied.
"No, Mr. Zhu asked me to go with him to the train station to greet the guest. This guest must have a good background. Why is there no security mission?" Lin Chuang asked.
"It's secret, right?" Ding Manli speculated.
"It's also possible that the background is so great that there is no need for police station vigilance. Nowadays, every time an important person comes to Shanghai, the Japanese will publicize it and generally won't keep it a secret." Lin Chuang nodded.
"Yes, the director is right. Can the director be Dean Wang?" Ding Manli asked softly.
"No way? He won't come here easily, right? We have to talk about it, right?"
"Besides, he is coming to Shanghai, and Mr. Zhu won't let me go. Who am I?"
"Not necessarily. Mr. Zhu may want you to show your face in front of Dean Wang so that he can recommend you in the future?"
"Director Ding, you're overthinking it. I don't want to be a high official. It's fine just like this. I can just guard my own three-quarter acre of land and enjoy myself. How nice is that?"
"Boss, I'm afraid it won't go as you wish? Mr. Zhu regards you as his confidant, will you not be promoted?"
"What do you mean? You are so looking forward to me leaving?"
"What the hell, I'm here to ask you to be promoted, but I don't think about what I can do."
Ding Manli's face suddenly turned red and she hurriedly defended herself.
"Okay, let's not worry about the boss."
…
At nine o'clock sharp, Lin Chuang rushed to the train station.
When I arrived at the station, I saw that there were three steps, one post, two steps, and one sentry post, which was heavily guarded.
Those in charge of martial law are the Japanese military police, and there are also agents from the Secret Service scattered everywhere in plainclothes.
As soon as he got off the bus, Lin Chuang saw Zhang Jinlu.
Zhang Jinlu is wearing a black fur coat, with curly hair, a sparkling pearl necklace around her neck, and a ruby ring on her hand. At first glance, she really looks like an elegant and charming lady.
Beside her, Ning Xiaobo followed step by step.
Ning Xiaobo's clothes are very simple. Although her appearance is not inferior to Zhang Jinlu's, her temperament looks like that of a serving girl.
Seeing Lin Chuang, Zhang Jinlu and Ning Xiaobo came over quickly: "Master, are you here?"
"Hey, when I saw it from a distance, which young lady did I think it was? Ah Lu, why are you so beautiful today?" Lin Chuang praised.
"Don't make fun of me. Since such a beautiful lady is standing in front of me, why don't you look at Ah Lu's brand?" Zhang Jinlu asked with a smile.
"Okay, my aunt is so beautiful and delicious, I can't wait any longer."
"When things get better here, let's go together." Lin Chuang said.
"Yeah." Zhang Jinlu nodded heavily.
Then he asked: "Master, do you know who is coming?"
"I don't know, it's so mysterious." Lin Chuang replied.
"Lin Sang, hello."
The two were talking when they saw Xiao Rishan walking over and greeting Lin Chuang from afar.
"Hello, Xiaorijun." Lin Chuang also greeted.
"Lin-san, please come to the reception room. The director of the Inuyang Ken Agency and Commander Hyoukimoto Sato will be here soon." Kohiyama Naoto said attentively.
"Since they are coming, let's wait here." Lin Chuang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Seeing that there were less than twenty minutes until half past nine, he declined Xiaori's kindness.
"It's too cold. You and this lady go to the reception room to warm up and drink hot water. When they arrive, it won't be too late for you to come out to greet them." Xiao Rishan said enthusiastically.
"Okay, Alu, let's go. It's okay to go and warm up first." Lin Chuang couldn't bear Xiaori's kindness, so he walked to the reception room with Zhang Jinlu and Ning Xiaobo.
Ning Xiaobo diligently poured hot water for the two of them, serving them like a well-behaved little maid.
Before the two of them finished their cup of tea, Zhu Daoshan, Lan Xiangping, Inukai Ken, Nakano Yunzi, Sato Hyoukimoto, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun all came.
Zhu Daoshan was very satisfied when he saw that Lin Chuang had come and waited early.
He called Lin Chuang aside and whispered: "Xiao Lin, do you know who is coming?"
