Hyōtaro Imamura had a sullen face, leaning back on his chair, his eyes flickering.
Imamura Kogoro poured out the ashes from the gilt incense burner and inserted new mosquito coils.
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, there are more mosquitoes.
"Kentaro has always been smart and sensible." Kogoro Imamura said, shaking his head, "However, this time Kentaro did something wrong."
Hyōtaro Imamura lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then placed the cigarette on the ashtray, watching the cigarette slowly and quietly being consumed.
He glanced at Imamura Kogoro.
"Kentaro shouldn't say those words, it will make things difficult for you, counselor." Imamura Kogoro said.
Hyōtaro Imamura understood what Kogoro meant:
There are some things that don’t need to be said, and there are some things that can be done but not said.
Kentaro already had hatred for Naito, but now after this incident, Kentaro may have become determined to get rid of Naito.
With Kentaro Miyazaki's cover and Mr. Cheng's power and skills, it is not too difficult to get rid of Tsubasa Naito secretly.
However, the problem is that Tsubasa Naito is a diplomat of the empire, and he is a close subordinate of Hyoutarou Imamura at the Consulate General.
Yu Gong, Naito is his subordinate and an imperial diplomat, and he does not allow harm to happen. Personally, from an emotional point of view, Kentaro is closer, and Naito's unrepentant behavior offended Imamura Hyoutaro.
Kentaro expressed his murderous intention towards Naito Kotsubo so directly, which really made it a little difficult for Imamura Hyoutarou.
That's why Imamura Kogoro said this.
What Imamura Kogoro means is: With Miyazaki Kentaro’s intelligence and astuteness, the best way to deal with it at this time is that even if he has decided to take revenge against Naito Kogoro, it is best not to say anything at this time. In this way, Imamura Hyoutaro can also pretend to know nothing and don't need to be embarrassed.
But now, Imamura Hyōtaro severely criticized Miyazaki Kentaro and scolded him not to be impulsive. He will definitely give Miyazaki Kentaro an explanation for this matter.
As the counselor of the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai, Hyotarō Imamura could only deal with it this way.
However, Hyoutaro Imamura's treatment obviously did not satisfy Kentaro Miyazaki. Kentaro Miyazaki, who had been forcibly suppressed by his teacher in retaliating against Naito, believed that the teacher's treatment was to protect Naito Tsubasa.
In the end, Miyazaki Kentaro remained silent, expressing his dissatisfaction and protest in this silent way. Hyōtaro Imamura could only pat Miyazaki Kentaro on the shoulder and scold him for not being young and energetic. Miyazaki Kentaro used the excuse that it was getting late to say goodbye to the teacher.
Imamura Hyōtaro took a deep look at his student. He asked Sakamoto Ryōno to send Kentaro away and persuaded Kazuo as a friend.
Kogoro Imamura shook his head. Kentaro Miyazaki was so angry that he chose to directly force the counselor to express his position. This made the counselor only express his position. In this way, there was a gap between Kentaro and the counselor for the first time.
"Kentaro is young and energetic, so he couldn't figure it out for a while." Imamura Hyoutarou shook his head slowly, as if he wasn't too worried about anything, "He is a smart young man and will understand my painstaking efforts.
"Miyazaki-kun, I understand your feelings very well." Sakamoto Yoshino said to Miyazaki Kentaro, "Naito Tsubasa really went too far."
Sakamoto Yoshino, who has no smoking habit, handed a cigarette to Kentaro Miyazaki, "I'm on your side." "
"Sakamoto-kun, thank you very much." Cheng Qianfan thanked him gratefully.
"Uncle Imamura is in a very difficult position. First of all, he is the counselor of the Imperial Consulate in Shanghai. Mr. Yu, he cannot tolerate the imperial diplomats being harmed..."
"I don't blame the teacher." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I know the teacher's difficulties. "
He lit the cigarette and took a puff, "I'm just depressed."
Cheng Qianfan chewed on the cigarette, which was about to break. He rolled down the window, took the cigarette out of his mouth and threw it out. He took a puff and said, "Until Naito is removed, my heart will not be clear."
"Miyazaki-kun?
"Sakamoto Yoshino looked at his friend in surprise. He didn't expect Kentaro Miyazaki to actually disobey Hyoutaro Imamura's order.
"Naito Tsubasa is a lunatic now." Cheng Qianfan said with cold eyes, his voice was very low, as if he was speaking to Sakamoto Yoshino, but also seemed to be mumbling to himself.
Sakamoto Yoshino glanced at his friend, swallowed the words he wanted to persuade again, and finally fell silent.
After sending Miyazaki Kentaro back to Mr. Cheng's residence on Lafayette Road in the French Concession, Sakamoto Yoshino did not go back directly to his home, but drove back to the Imamura residence.
"Did you send Kentaro home safely?"
"I made a call in the living room before departure. Miyazaki-kun's bodyguards came to pick him up. I personally drove Miyazaki-kun to the Cheng Mansion and then came back."
"Kentaro, are you still blaming me?" Imamura Hyoutarou asked.
"No." Sakamoto Yoshino shook his head, "Uncle Imamura, Miyazaki-kun is a sensible person. He knows that you are in trouble, and he also knows that you are kind to him, uncle. He is just very dissatisfied with Naito-kun."
"Naito is really wrong." Imamura Hyōtaro shook his head. He sighed and looked at Sakamoto Yoshino, "I'm worried that Kentaro will be impulsive."
"No." Sakamoto Yoshino was startled, thinking that Uncle Imamura was really good at judging people and actually understood Miyazaki-kun so well. He quickly spoke to his friend, "Miyazaki-kun has always respected Uncle Imamura very much. I will not disobey your orders."
"That's the best." Hyoutaro Imamura nodded.
Cheng Mansion.
Cheng Qianfan was playing with Xiao Zhizhi in the living room.
Xiao Zhizhi has just woken up and is full of energy.
He held Xiaozhizhi and pointed at the old cat lying on the carpet in the living room, "Kitty, roll around."
The cat glanced at its male owner and yawned.
Cheng Qianfan looked furious, went up and gently kicked the cat with the toe of his shoe, and the cat glared at him.
Really staring.
You could even see a hint of helplessness in the old cat's eyes. Then, the cat turned over on the carpet, even though it was just perfunctory.
Mr. Cheng showed a triumphant expression, pointed at the cat and said to his son, "Xiao Zhizhi, do you see that in this family, including you, everyone must obey me, even the cat is no exception.
Xiao Zhizhi stared at her father, as if thinking, and then suddenly stretched out her little hand and slapped Mr. Xiao Cheng's face.
"Hahaha." Xiaobao, who was going downstairs, stood on the wooden stairs and bent over with a smile.
"Sir, do you want to rebel?" "Xiao Cheng always screamed angrily.
Xiaozhizhi was frightened and cried loudly.
Xiaobao was anxious, glared at his brother, came over and carried his nephew upstairs.
Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly, sitting on the sofa and slowly sipping tea.
After about three or four minutes, he raised his wrist to check the time on his watch, walked to the phone and picked up the handset, "I'm Cheng Qianfan, I want Imamura Mansion on Huangpu Road."
Two minutes later, Cheng Qianfan hung up the phone.
A smile appeared on his lips.
This phone number:
Kentaro Miyazaki sincerely apologized to Mr. Imamura and asked him to forgive his young and impulsive rude behavior. Imamura Hyoutarou accepted his student's apology with a smile, and comforted him by saying that it is normal for young people to be impulsive and there is no need to feel too guilty.
In what seemed like an ordinary conversation, Kentaro Miyazaki and Hyōtaro Imamura, students and teachers, had reaffirmed the tacit understanding they had formed previously.
Previously at Imamura's mansion, Imamura Hyoutaro scolded him not to be young and energetic, nor to be impulsive.
Cheng Qianfan was silent and then said goodbye.
Imamura Hyōtaro seemed to be a little disappointed and shook his head. He didn't say anything more and just ordered Sakamoto Yoshino to send him away.
Cheng Qianfan understood the words 'young and energetic' and 'impulsive'.
In other words, he knows Hyōtaro Imamura very well.
To use a popular saying, Imamura Hyoutarou is both a fat boy and a memorial arch.
Yu Gong, Imamura Hyōtaro must stop him from doing anything internally.
Vine's act of revenge.
However, privately, if I had to choose between Naito and him, Imamura Hyoutarou would choose him, the student with whom he has a closer relationship.
Harsh criticism is a show.
It is true that it implies that Kentaro Miyazaki is young and impulsive.
This was something Cheng Qianfan figured out himself.
This is a judgment based on his understanding of Hyoutarou Imamura.
This understanding is heavy, just like his heavy Akagi heart for Imamura Hyoutaro.
Or, this understanding at this moment can also be understood as the tacit understanding between Kentaro Miyazaki and Mr. Imamura. On the phone call just now, Miyazaki Kentaro apologized to the teacher for his rude attitude just now and for his youthful arrogance.
Hyōtaro Imamura accepted the student's apology.
Hyōtaro Imamura knew that his students understood that tacit understanding, and Kentaro Miyazaki once again confirmed this tacit understanding that only two people could understand.
This is a tacit agreement with no binding force or guarantee.
Hyōtaro Imamura would not admit the existence of this tacit understanding.
If Hyōtaro Imamura turns against him one day, the so-called tacit understanding will not bring any protective effect to Cheng Qianfan.
However, this tacit understanding is very important.
Hyōtaro Imamura has both face and dignity, and is impeccable both in public and private matters.
The benefit lies with Imamura, and the danger lies with Kentaro Miyazaki himself.
In the eyes of Imamura Hyoutaro, Kentaro like this is a good student.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan also deliberately revealed his determination to kill Naito to Sakamoto Yoshino on the way back. He intentionally conveyed this murderous intention to Imamura Hyoutarou through Sakamoto Yoshino.
In the phone call just now, Hyōtaro Imamura didn't mention this matter at all, let alone any reprimand. This was Hyōtaro Imamura's feedback.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan is not sure whether Sakamoto Yoshino will openly tell Imamura Hyoutaro about his murderous intentions towards Naito Tsubasa, because there is another possibility, that is, Sakamoto is indeed a good friend and Sakamoto Yoshino will help him. hidden.
Therefore, sending the message through Sakamoto Yoshino was just a side plan.
What really matters is the phone call he made, the verbal implications themselves.
The next day.
Haozi specially went to the old house in Yandeli and bought Xiaobao's favorite wontons from Liu A's Family and brought them to Xiaobao to eat.
"Just spoil her." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
Li Hao chuckled and scratched his head.
He is an orphan, and he is content to have Brother Fan and Sister Ruolan, a pair of elder brothers and sisters, and a younger sister, Xiaobao.
Brother Fan and his sister-in-law took good care of him, but he couldn't help others, so he put all his feelings into his love for his sister Xiaobao and his nephew Xiaozhizhi.
"Brother Fan, it's confirmed." Li Hao took a sip of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and said, "Naito Tsubasa went to TEDA Apartment yesterday."
"How long did you stay?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
He did not tell Haozi that he had confirmed from Imamura Hyoutarou that Naito Tsubasa was the mastermind behind the scenes. It was not that he did not trust Haozi, but it was unnecessary. It was also for Haozi's own good. People who work in this industry can know or not, and the more you know, the better. Less is better.
"About ten minutes." Li Hao said.
"Find out the pattern of Tsubasa Naito's activities." Cheng Qianfan gently stirred the spoon, blew on it, and said calmly. "Naito's activities are very regular. Apart from his residence and the Consulate General, he usually has no other hobbies."
Li Hao said, and as he spoke, he paused, "And sometimes I like to go to Chunhe Izakaya and have a few drinks."
Cheng Qianfan pays special attention to preparing for a rainy day!
He will try to avoid fighting an unprepared battle.
After learning from Sakamoto Yoshino and Kawada Atsuhito that they were suspected and tested by the Military Police Headquarters, it turned out that Naito Tsubasa was behind the scenes, so Cheng Qianfan put Naito Tsubasa on the elimination list.
But later Imamura Hyoutarou strictly ordered him not to retaliate against Naito Tsubasa. Cheng Qianfan knew the temperament of Imamura Hyoutarou. This man seemed elegant and enthusiastic, but in fact he was quite...
He especially hates the disloyalty of those around him. Cheng Qianfan chooses to endure it temporarily in order to avoid damaging his relationship with Hyoutaro Imamura due to small losses. However, he had already made up his mind that Naito must be eliminated, and all he had to do was wait for the opportunity. Therefore, Cheng Qianfan had already ordered Li Hao to arrange for someone to investigate Tsubasa Naito's whereabouts. Although he did not dare to follow Tsubasa Naito too closely to avoid being noticed by the enemy, he still had a good grasp of Tsubasa Naito's daily whereabouts. of.
Now, this previous rainy day preparation work has been put to use this time.
"Chunhe Izakaya." Cheng Qianfan muttered to himself.
He knew this izakaya. The owner of the izakaya was a wealthy businessman from Osaka, who had quite a business acumen. The izakaya had high-end furnishings and specialized in serving high-level Japanese talents in Shanghai.
Sakamoto Yoshino mentioned this izakaya to him, and many diplomats from the Consulate General liked to patronize this place.
"Brother Fan, do you want to take action on Naito's way to the izakaya?" Li Hao thought for a while and asked, "The back alley of the izakaya is relatively remote, and guests of the izakaya often urinate there."
As he said that, he used chopsticks and the peanuts on the plate to play with on the dining table, "Here, arrange an ambush in advance, wait for Naito to come, directly"
Li Hao made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Cheng Qianfan looked serious as he was thinking about the feasibility of the action plan proposed by Li Hao.
"No." After thinking for a moment, Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "It's too dangerous to do anything in Hongkou District."
As he spoke, he clicked the table, "It's in the French Concession, in Xuhui District. It's safe to do it on our own territory."
Seeing Li Hao thinking, Cheng Qianfan smiled lightly and said, "Let's do it in TEDA Apartment!" A cold look flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
