Medium rare steak is Meng Shaoyuan's favorite cooking temperature.
The chef at this restaurant said he was from France, and he didn't seem to be bragging at all.
Well, when will I really need to learn some French?
"Ah, Charles, are you satisfied?" Manager Gu, the Chinese manager of the restaurant, sat in front of him and personally brought him dessert.
"Very good, very good."
Meng Shaoyuan was really satisfied.
Money can make the world go round, this sentence is appropriate no matter where it is placed.
There was only one customer in the entire restaurant, Meng Shaoyuan, which not only greatly reduced the workload of the restaurant employees, but also made a lot of money. On the contrary, Meng Shaoyuan even doubled the amount.
Such guests are the most welcome wherever they go.
Manager Gu did not ask Meng Shaoyuan why he wanted to book the restaurant and why he was still the only customer so far.
A successful manager will never talk too much.
The restaurant door opened.
A total of four people walked in.
The one at the front was a shriveled and thin old man.
Behind him, two burly men held a middle-aged man with a haggard look on his left and right sides.
"Charles, it looks like your guests are here." Manager Gu stood up and waved, and all the waiters immediately left the entire restaurant to Meng Shaoyuan.
"Mr. Yuki Nitta?"
"Yes, Mr. Meng Shaoyuan?"
Nitta Yuki walked up to him and bowed: "Hello, Mr. Meng. Nice to meet you."
"Mr. Nitta, please sit down."
Nitta Yuki sat down and looked around: "Where are our people?"
"You mean, is it your son?"
Nitta Yuki's expression changed: "What are you talking about? My son is currently in Japan."
"Look, Mr. Nitta, I came with sincerity." Meng Shaoyuan smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him, shook it, and took a sip: "Your son's name is Nitta Longyi, and he was also captured by us this time. One of the three Japanese agents. But you can rest assured that I have not told anyone about this matter. I know that once I tell it, it will be very bad for you and the future of your son. "
Nitta Yuki was silent for a while, then said in a very low voice: "Thank you, Mr. Meng."
This sentence is tantamount to admission.
He didn't ask where his son was now. Things like exchanging hostages must have been carefully arranged by both parties.
Moreover, the location of the exchange is still in the public concession, and no party will mess around.
After all, everyone still has to hang out in this place.
"Those of us who do intelligence work have difficulties. Ah, Mr. Nitta, do you need a drink?"
"Thank you, I don't drink."
"That's a pity. You will lose a lot of fun." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I always feel that using three Japanese agents to replace one of our intelligence officers who has been captured and missing for a long time is a bit of a disadvantage."
"So, is Mr. Meng ready to go back on his word?"
"No, no, you misunderstood." Meng Shaoyuan smiled very kindly: "I just complained and complained. Mr. Nitta, according to the information we have, you are the director of the Radio and Eavesdropping Department. This is a This powerful organization should belong to the Japanese Army Ministry, right?"
Nitta Yuki narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't need to tell him, he already knew that his guess was correct: "There are always irreconcilable conflicts between the Japanese army and navy..."
"Mr. Meng, please don't sow discord between us."
"Mr. Nitta, I said, I come here with sincerity." Meng Shaoyuan looked so careless: "When you said, 'Please don't provoke conflicts between us,' there was an obvious expression of contempt. , of course you are not there to despise yourself, nor me, it must be those guys from the Admiralty.
The Japanese Army has a radio and eavesdropping department in Shanghai under your command, but the Navy has established an "X Agency" with similar responsibilities as you. Of course, they do a better job. They even obtained the secret code of our military. Do you think they are really that capable? The man named Du Xuntu betrayed him? "
"Isn't it?" Nitta Yuki asked.
"Don't be stupid. How can a Du Xuntu have such great ability? Of course, it is certain that he was bribed by people from the Navy." Meng Shaoyuan said with a bit of mystery: "I can tell you, Major Yoshimoto Hirohara They are cooperating with us, and the so-called cooperation means exchanging intelligence with each other."
"That's nonsense." Yuki Nitta blurted out without any time to think: "You are right about one thing, Mr. Meng. I do look down on those people in the Navy Department, but as an officer of the Empire of Japan, I will never betray Japan's interests. .It’s impossible for them to exchange information with you!”
Of course Meng Shaoyuan knew that he would never believe his words.
In fact, he didn't need Yuki Nitta to believe him.
He just planted a seed in the Japanese heart.
Seeds of suspicion.
There is a very strange phenomenon in psychology.
Some people say that your friend is setting you up with your boss or saying bad things about you in front of your colleagues. With your understanding of your friend for more than ten years, you will think this is nonsense and ignore it. But in fact, from this time on, the seeds of suspicion have already been planted in you. Planted without realizing it.
You see your friend whispering to other colleagues, and when you arrive, he immediately greets you with a smile. A thought flashes through your mind, is he talking bad about himself to others?
You see your friend come out of your boss's office and ask him what's wrong. He says that the boss asked you about work, and you will naturally think of it, is that true? Did he make a small report about himself in front of the boss?
Everything that was normal in the past will be considered abnormal by you without even realizing it.
The seeds of suspicion had already taken root and sprouted at this time...
Meng Shaoyuan also planted a seed in Nitta Yuki's heart, and he was sure that this seed would grow sooner or later.
Nitta Yuki never dreamed that just a few words with Meng Shaoyuan today would cause major changes in his life.
Not many people can think of it.
"Mr. Meng, please don't say anything more." Nitta Yuki looked a little impatient: "I have brought your intelligence personnel, where are my people? We are here to exchange hostages today, not to discuss issues. .”
"In the kitchen." Meng Shaoyuan said lazily.
"What?"
Nitta Yuki was in disbelief.
He thought his son would be closely guarded.
Who would have thought it would be in this restaurant, right in the kitchen?
"People know that they are about to be free, so they will never take risks and act rashly." Meng Shaoyuan stretched out: "You can leave with your people, Mr. Nitta, we will still have the opportunity to meet."
