"Director Meng."
Having just returned to Shanghai, Wu Jingyi has already reported directly to her work: "According to inside information, important Japanese figures have arrived in Shanghai after attending the meeting of the puppet Nanjing Reform Government."
This is the information conveyed by Miao Chengfang.
Yoshikawa Gomen!
This person's background is really quite big.
The younger brother of Sadasa Yoshikawa, the head of the secret service of the five provinces of North China in Japan.
This Yoshikawa Sadao is the nephew of the Emperor of Japan.
Although Yoshikawa Gomon is not his biological brother, the two have a very deep relationship.
More importantly, Yoshikawa Sadao sent his younger brother to Shanghai for comprehensive cooperation between Japanese special agencies in the north and the south.
Considering Meng Shaoyuan's character, how could he let such a thing happen?
Even if the Yoshikawa Gomen cannot be "kept" in Shanghai, it will at least make the Japanese feel disgusted.
Japan's northern and southern spies absolutely cannot fully cooperate!
"Out of concern for the safety of this important person, he was placed in Chen Lu's home."
Wu Jingyi's words made Meng Shaoyuan suddenly sneer:
"Okay, okay, everyone will be sent to Chen Lu's house when they come. Is his Chen Lu's house an iron wall? Is it an unbreakable fortress for us? Is it a safe haven for the Japanese in the public concession?"
"Yes, at least that's the case for now." Wu Jingyi actually didn't give any face: "Currently we are in the public concession, and there are no Japanese strongholds that we can't break. One is the consulate, and it will be troublesome if something happens there. The other is the Japanese Army The secret service, as well as the Japanese naval secret service, now have multiple Chen Lu families."
Meng Shaoyuan had a headache.
They all say that they are omnipotent in the Shanghai Public Settlement and can turn clouds and rain with their hands, but there are also areas that they cannot touch.
The Chen Lu family's defenses were indeed well-armed to the teeth. Even the last time they assassinated Shi Qingzhi, they could only wait until they came out before carrying out the assassination.
And for a while it seemed like I couldn’t think of any good solution.
"Closely monitor Chen Lu's family." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it for a while: "Send me a few more groups of people, day and night. I really don't believe there will be no chance."
"I know." Wu Jingyi said immediately: "There is one more thing, but it is your private matter."
"explain."
"After you left Shanghai, suspicious people were discovered near Cai Xuefei's house on Albert Road. A few days ago, your wife ordered a brand new set of furniture and when it was delivered to her door, one of our captains noticed that one of them looked panicked. , immediately stopped him for inspection, and found a hidden gun in the furniture."
"This is going to attack my family." Meng Shaoyuan sneered.
"Also, several groups of patrols added by Sinclair have also caught several suspicious people one after another. Director Meng, it seems that the Japanese have set their sights on your wife's home. Should you consider countermeasures, or simply let Cai Xuefei come? Going to the rear?"
"It's not yet time." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it for a while: "We have to leave sooner or later, but if we find danger, we will leave immediately. The Japanese will regard it as their victory. When will we leave, and with what means will we leave?" Leaving in a different way requires careful planning.”
She was silent for a while and then said: "When you want to be my woman, you have to be mentally prepared. I, Meng Shaoyuan, am not that easy to be a woman for."
From the first day he and Cai Xuefei got married, he had expected that this would happen.
On the intelligence front, every effort is made.
Meng Shaoyuan could threaten other people's families, and his own family would also be threatened.
The only thing to compare is who is more prepared and who can endure this situation more.
"Get me a gun."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up and said, "I'll go home and take a look."
…
Albert Road.
Rose Mansion.
Although this place is not as heavily guarded as the Military Command Shanghai Special Office, it is still heavily guarded.
There are also two groups of patrolmen who keep patrolling back and forth.
This was specially arranged by Sinclair.
The door of Qiangwei Mansion was closed.
Since the last time he encountered an assassination incident while delivering furniture, Butler Qiu has obviously become more vigilant.
I have long said that I can't marry Meng Shaoyuan, look at it now.
Even when you go out, you have to be careful whether you will be shot.
Butler Qiu also carries a gun with him at all times.
His marksmanship is very good, and this can be a weapon to protect his wife when necessary.
"Steward Qiu, the master is back."
master?
By the way, it's Meng Shaoyuan.
Until now, Butler Qiu is still seriously uncomfortable with the presence of "Master" in this family.
Seeing Meng Shaoyuan walk in, Butler Qiu was dissatisfied, but when he thought that "the master" would give him little shoes to wear anytime and anywhere, he still sighed:
"master."
"Um."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded and walked straight to Cai Xuefei's room without saying much.
"Shao Yuan, are you back?"
Cai Xuefei stood up hurriedly.
"That's right." Meng Shaoyuan sat down, picked up Cai Xuefei's coffee and drank it.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If another person had done this, Cai Xuefei would have regarded her as extremely vulgar.
But Meng Shaoyuan sat like this. In Cai Xuefei's eyes, it was cute and unpretentious.
"Shaoyuan, is the situation in Xuzhou tense?"
After marrying Meng Shaoyuan, Cai Xuefei also began to care about the war situation.
"I'm very nervous." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "The Japanese army has gathered heavily and the war has broken out."
"Xuzhou, won't it be lost too?"
"It will be lost, and it will be lost in many places one after another." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "But the longer the Japanese army's front is stretched and the more cities they occupy, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. The Japanese army will suffer a big blow on the Xuzhou battlefield. A loss."
Cai Xuefei doesn't quite understand why the longer the front is drawn, the more disadvantaged it becomes?
But what your husband said must be right.
"By the way, I heard that someone wanted to assassinate you a few days ago?" Meng Shaoyuan asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Um."
Cai Xuefei responded calmly.
"This is unreasonable. I, Meng Shaoyuan, dare to touch women."
Cai Xuefei smiled indifferently: "Why can't you, Meng Shaoyuan's woman, not touch you? Shaoyuan, don't worry, I knew this would happen when I married you. It's not a big deal. I will go out less and give in less." If others give me something, they can't do anything to me. Besides, you have arranged so many people outside to protect me."
He hesitated at this point: "Shao Yuan, can I discuss something with you?"
"you say."
"Remove your people outside."
"What? That won't work. I specially sent them to protect you."
"listen to me."
Cai Xuefei held Meng Shaoyuan's hand: "I know that you are doing big things, and your manpower is also very tight. Now, for me, you have not hesitated to send so many people here. One more person to protect me is equivalent to weakening me. Your power. Besides, do you think others will gossip? You, Director Meng, are using public resources to protect your wife under false pretenses for personal gain."
"But……"
"Listen to me, I can protect myself. Besides, isn't there Butler Qiu? You've seen his shooting skills. Although he can't go to the battlefield, he can still protect a woman like me."
In fact, Meng Shaoyuan also knew that mobilizing so many people to protect his wife was indeed unjustifiable.
I thought for a while and said, "How about this? As for the person, I'll transfer him. I asked Alao to move in officially. He has a lot of experience in this area. He is taking care of my residence in Shanghai. Until now." Never in danger."
"Yeah." Cai Xuefei said, "I think so too. I'm just afraid that Butler Qiu will be unhappy, but it doesn't matter. I'll go to Butler Qiu's place and talk to him."
"good."
Meng Shaoyuan then took out a pistol from his body: "Take this."
"Gun?" Cai Xuefei was surprised: "I don't know how to use this."
"It's okay, I'll teach you." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "You are very eager to learn. Wife, if you encounter trouble in the future, this can save your life."
Although she was married, the word "daughter-in-law" still made Cai Xuefei blush.
"Just this gun..."
Meng Shaoyuan just said these words, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he didn't say a word in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Cai Xuefei asked quickly.
"Oh, why do I look like a pig's head?"
Meng Shaoyuan slapped his head: "I even forgot about this. It's too easy to protect your safety. I'll hire mercenaries."
"Mercenary?" Cai Xuefei had no idea what her husband was talking about.
"Yes, please hire mercenaries." Meng Shaoyuan became excited: "There are so many foreigners in Shanghai, and many of them come to Shanghai from abroad to look for opportunities. Can't I just hire the most skilled among them? These people get paid The credibility of our work is quite high, so you don’t have to worry about them cooperating with the Japanese. Yes, pay them a high salary!"
Cai Xuefei didn't know why her husband was so happy, but since he said so, let him go.
"We need to do a strict background check. Let Sinclair and Joey help. Hawes can also help. Hire a few more, both men and women. The men will be responsible for the outside and at home, and the women will protect you personally."
The more Meng Shaoyuan talked, the more excited he became: "It is best if they are from Europe and the United States. In this way, even if the Japanese want to attack you, they will definitely have concerns. I will go to do this early tomorrow morning."
"It's done, it's done." Cai Xuefei said with a smile, "I'll do whatever you say."
"lady."
At this moment, Butler Qiu walked in: "There is a beggar outside."
"A beggar?"
Cai Xuefei frowned: "Give him something to eat."
"Why don't you come out and take a look? This beggar is a little different from the others."
…
Strange is a child.
At most eleven or twelve years old.
And it's a girl.
Long-term malnutrition made her look sallow and thin.
"How old is this?"
Cai Xuefei felt distressed when she saw it: "Bring her something to eat quickly."
"Thank you ma'am."
When the little beggar opened his mouth, he actually spoke very elegantly.
When the food was brought, I didn’t gobble it down as much as I expected.
The little girl actually ate in small bites.
