Ms. Kayla hugged her son and future daughter-in-law tightly and burst into tears.
In Shanghai, if you have any difficulties, go to the young master. Many people have heard this sentence.
But when something really happened to her, Ms. Kayla was still unsure of herself at first.
But Meng Shaoyuan really did it.
Edward and Cynthia returned to their side.
Although he was a little weak and a little nervous due to being frightened, his overall condition was good.
"Meng, I don't know how to thank you."
Ms. Keira had tears in her eyes.
Indeed, no words could express her inner excitement.
"Thank you for everything you've done for Kayla."
Hawes said: "Wealth and power are not the most important to you, but I have thought of a way to thank you, but I have to ask you to wait for a few days."
How many days to wait?
What thanks?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't care: "Hawes, we are partners, and it is my responsibility to help you. If you want to repay me, I need you to do two things for me."
"Please say it, Meng." Hawes said without hesitation.
"The first one, the kidnapping case of Ms. Kayla's child, gave me a lot of momentum." Meng Shaoyuan expressed his inner plan: "Don't name names directly, but let people see that it was done by the Japanese. And The most important thing is to point out in a subtle way that someone secretly helped in the process of rescuing Edward, so that the rescue could be completed smoothly."
"Is there someone? Who?"
"Ji Yunqing, Wu Sibao."
"God, it's these two bad guys," Hawes murmured. "Why are you trying to defend us? They all deserve to go to hell."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Hawes, there is more than just fists and kicks to defeat your opponent."
"Okay, I understand." Hawes shrugged: "Although I am not particularly happy to do it, since it is your request, I will definitely try my best."
"The second thing is that after the fall of Wuhan, our transportation became very inconvenient." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "Although the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou, Guangzhou Bay is a French leased territory. French interests were seriously damaged by Japan's invasion of China, so it has no influence on China." The attitude adopted is sympathetic. Guangzhou Bay is a deep-water port and will inevitably become the only international port along the South China coast that can still be freely navigable."
As China's coastal cities fell one after another, and Wuhan fell, Guangzhou Bay became the only port in China that could trade freely.
The highway from Guangzhou Bay to Liuzhou in Guangxi has been connected, and all the materials needed in the mainland are transshipped through Guangzhou Bay. It will surely become a major commercial town and shipping center in and out of China.
Moreover, due to the influx of hot money from all over the country to Guangzhou Bay, there are all kinds of restaurants, foreign banks, banks, department stores, miscellaneous loans, gold shops, theaters, dance halls and other industries, and business is booming. During the heyday of Guangzhou Bay's business, it was known as the "Second Hong Kong".
Meng Shaoyuan is very clear about this. His smuggling business will rely heavily on Guangzhou Bay for a long time to come.
Meng Shaoyuan pondered and said: "Our counterfeit banknote business in Shanghai is currently saturated. Continuing to release counterfeit banknotes on a large scale may not be beneficial to us. So I want to go all out to develop Guangzhou Bay. Hawes, I have already paid tribute to Joey. After passing, he was very much in favor and was ready to join me in sending a business team to Guangzhou Bay. But that is the territory of the French. If I want to have a good relationship with the French, I need an important business partner to go there in person. Just one trip."
He was talking about "an important business partner," which gave Hawes a lot of face.
Hawes was very interested.
He came to China to see the war as an opportunity to make a fortune, and he had already made a lot of money from his previous counterfeit banknote cooperation. Now when Meng Shaoyuan proposed a new business cooperation model, Hawes was undoubtedly interested.
"I know some French people." Hawes said immediately: "There are some very powerful French people among them, and Guangzhou Bay is right on the edge of Hong Kong. I can also get support from Hong Kong. So, it is best for me to go. suitable."
"That's good."
Meng Shao originally had this purpose: "You leave as soon as possible. When you get there, you need to make major decisions, all of which are up to you. Hawes, this is not a spy war, but a matter of huge economic interests in the future of the Shanghai Mutual Aid Organization." "
You can't tell these foreigners that you love China.
Profit is what they care about most.
"I will." Hawes nodded: "But I am waiting for a telegram. When the telegram arrives, I will leave immediately."
Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious about what telegram he was waiting for.
But he didn't ask.
Everyone has their own secrets, right?
On his own side, he sent his right-hand man in business, Xu Chengbo.
After Xu Chengbo arrives in Guangzhou Bay, he will quickly join forces with Angus International to develop Guangzhou Bay and strive to gain a foothold in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, he will also carefully form a business team there to be responsible for future business operations.
The war is getting worse, but this is also a great opportunity for Meng Shaoyuan's smuggling empire to expand rapidly.
Xiao Zhong came over and whispered in Meng Shaoyuan's ear: "District Chief Meng, Assistant Wu called just now. There is an emergency. Ask him to go back as soon as possible."
"I got it." Meng Shaoyuan turned around and said, "Ms. Kayla, please take Edward and Cynthia back to have a good rest, and tell them that Shanghai is still a beautiful city. Don't let their experiences leave a shadow in their hearts."
"Thank you, Meng."
Ms. Kayla hugged Meng Shaoyuan: "May God bless you!"
…
"What's going on?" Meng Shaoyuan asked as soon as he entered the office.
"Nanjing sent a secret message." Wu Jingyi immediately said: "Wen Zongyao, President of the Legislative Yuan of the Nanjing Liang Hongzhi puppet regime's reform government, has arrived in Shanghai."
Wen Zongyao?
That's a hardcore traitor.
This guy served as the Foreign Affairs Director of the Guangdong and Guangxi Protective Capital Command. After the establishment of the Liang Hongzhi Puppet Reform Government in Nanjing, he immediately served as the President of the Legislative Yuan, participated in the signing of all treaties with the Japanese garrison in Central China, and betrayed national rights and interests.
By the way, what did your father say?
He judged that once Wang Jingwei rebelled, he would inevitably establish a puppet regime, and Meng Baifeng had his eyes set on the position of President of the Judicial Yuan. His biggest competitor was Wen Zongyao!
"Kill him!" Meng Shaoyuan said without hesitation.
First of all, Wen Zongyao is already a high-level traitor. Meng Shaoyuan is now the acting district chief of the Shanghai latent area of the military command. Being able to kill such a big traitor can be regarded as the first thing a new official takes office!
Meng Shaoyuan had killed many traitors, but none at Wen Zongyao's level.
Maybe once I succeed this time, I can get rid of the title of "agent".
Another important reason is that it can help his father get rid of a competitor. You know, once the position of President of the Judicial Yuan is controlled by Meng Baifeng, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
Wang Jingwei and the Japanese would never have dreamed that the future president of the Judicial Yuan would actually be a Chinese latent agent!
"I guess you want to target Wen Zongyao."
Wu Jingyi knew the temper of this young master Meng very well: "I have sent people to start tracking the Japanese spy contact points, and tried every means to get the specific whereabouts of Wen Zongyao there. However, the assassination of Wen Zongyao and our assassination of other traitors It’s different. He has a special status and a high position of power, so the Japanese will take special precautions against him.”
"Kill the same."
Meng Shaoyuan was filled with murderous intent: "He is in Nanjing, and I have no good way to deal with it for the moment, but he actually dares to go to Shanghai? If I don't keep his life here, then am I still Meng Shaoyuan?"
For the sake of his father, Wen Zongyao must be killed.
Wu Jingyi was like Ming Jing in her heart. Young Master Meng was very lustful despite his usual idleness, but once he decided to implement a plan, I am afraid no one could stop him...
…
"This is what you're going to learn today."
Meng Baifeng lit his pipe: "Tomorrow we will learn American history."
"What?" Tian Qi suspected that he heard wrongly: "What we have to deal with are the Japanese. Why should we learn American history?"
"Those who only understand the history of China and Japan are just reckless people." Meng Baifeng said lightly: "To achieve great things in the future, you must understand the history of all countries. The War of Resistance will end sooner or later. Are you planning to be a spy for the rest of your life?"
Tian Qi was speechless for a moment.
"Your Japanese is passable, but your English is not good." Meng Baifeng said to himself: "I think you still have some language talent. I not only want to teach you American history, but also English, Latin, French..."
ah!
Tian Qi was confused.
I am a latent agent, not a language master, so why should I teach myself so many languages?
Could it be that after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Meng Baifeng wanted to change his career to become a teacher?
Besides, how much effort does it take to learn so many languages?
"Talent is one, hard work is the right path." Meng Baifeng's face darkened: "How many hours do you usually have?"
"About six hours."
"Why do young people sleep for so long?" Meng Baifeng shook his head repeatedly: "I think you sleep two hours less every day, and you have to spend fifteen minutes eating, right? Shorten it to five minutes, and you can squeeze in two meals a day. Twenty minutes. Drink less water, go to the toilet a few less times, and have time. In this way, you can save a few more hours every day."
Tian Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Oh my god, this Mr. Meng is going to push himself to death.
"Let's get down to business." Meng Baifeng changed the subject: "Wen Zongyao is coming to Shanghai. I estimate that as long as Meng Shaoyuan knows about this person's arrival, he will definitely find ways to get rid of him. We here must help him figure out Wen Zongyao's complete whereabouts. "
"Leave this to me." Tian Qi nodded and said, "According to my estimation, Li Shiqun and I will be involved in protecting Wen Zongyao, and there will be a way to find out."
"No." Meng Baifeng suddenly said: "Let Li Shiqun go, you must try to avoid contact!"
