If this matter is settled, the eldest lady will not come to Shanghai.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan quickly said: "But please tell me, Shaoyuan will never dare to shirk anything that can be done."
"That's what happened." Wei Bingkuan said: "This matter is top secret. This..."
He hesitated to speak and glanced at Li Zhifeng who was driving.
"It's one of our own."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "The inspector general said it doesn't matter."
"That's good." Wei Bingkuan then continued: "When the eldest lady was studying in Shanghai, she had a very good best friend named Han Yanyun. When the eldest lady was studying at Hujiang University in Shanghai, the two of them were almost inseparable."
Kong Lingyi is the only one of Kong Xiangxi's children who has never studied abroad.
She went to Jinling Girls' High School in middle school and went to Hujiang University in Shanghai.
"Later, Han Yanyun stayed in Shanghai after graduation." Wei Bingkuan paused and then said: "There were often letters between the two. Han Yanyun later worked at the Bank of China..."
Meng Shaoyuan's heart skipped a beat: "Did something happen to Han Yanyun?"
"Yes, something happened." Wei Bingkuan nodded and said: "This time, she was also kidnapped by No. 76. Han Yanyun's parents are both in Chongqing. They originally wanted to get her to Chongqing, but Han Yanyun's husband and children are all in Shanghai. , did not agree.
This time, after her parents heard the bad news, they were so worried that they found the eldest lady and asked for help..."
"I know, I know." Meng Shaoyuan's head was as big as eight: "Miss, you want me to help rescue Han Yanyun?"
"That's exactly what I mean." Wei Bingkuan smiled bitterly: "Actually, the eldest lady also knows that it is very difficult to rescue. How can No. 76 let him go so easily? Moreover, the most important thing is that No. 76 cannot be allowed to know about Han Yanyun and the eldest daughter. Miss’s relationship!”
Yep.
So you let me do such a difficult thing?
"The eldest lady also said that no one else would be able to do this. Only you, Master Meng, can do it." Wei Bingkuan smiled and said, "I can tell you exactly what I said."
"You've said this, what should I do?"
Meng Shaoyuan murmured...
…
The check-in point he arranged for Wei Bingkuan's inspection team was still the International Hotel.
Although it is still safe here, as the situation continues to worsen, the International Hotel will soon become less safe.
Before entering the store, Meng Shaoyuan checked the area carefully.
"Here, at least two people stayed for a long time."
Meng Shaoyuan squatted down and looked at the cigarette butts on the ground: "The two of them smoked different brands of cigarettes, and they smoked five cigarettes in total."
"Surveillance, right?"
"no."
Meng Shaoyuan was still observing the cigarette butts: "At this point, there is no surveillance angle. They probably met here and talked for a long time. As for what they said specifically, I can't guess."
He picked up a cigarette butt and looked at it for a while: "It should be a secret agent."
"So you're sure?" Li Zhifeng was a little unconvinced: "What if we were chatting there?"
"Look here." Meng Shaoyuan straightened up, walked a few steps forward, pointed to a cigarette butt on the ground and said, "The same brand, but thrown here. My guess is that while he was talking, someone passed by. The two people talking to each other pretended to be nonchalant, and one of them left, threw away the cigarette butt and came back."
"Maybe when they were saying goodbye, they took a few steps and threw away the cigarette butts?"
"It's possible, and this possibility cannot be ruled out."
…
"Recently, there have been a lot more strange faces in the store."
Manager Ge issued a cigarette and said: "I have deployed a few more of our people and distributed weapons. Now, most of the waiters in the store are our people, so don't worry."
"Lao Ge, I got to know you when I first came to Shanghai."
Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette and said: "You have served the organization for so many years. The situation in Shanghai is getting more and more serious now, so I am going to arrange for your retreat."
"retreat?"
Manager Ge was startled: "It's not that far yet, right?"
"Soon, soon." Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "The situation changes at a moment's notice, and turning your back is quicker than turning the page in a book. Maybe when you open your eyes the next day, the hotel will be full of Japanese people.
Lao Ge, please prepare. I will give you three months. The work must be handed over within three months, and then I will arrange for your retreat. "
"Let's do it."
Manager Ge agreed, but to be honest, he was really reluctant to part with it.
He had been in Shanghai for many years and had long been integrated with the city. He suddenly had to leave, which no one else would be able to part with.
But since the direct superior gave the order, and he said it so solemnly, Manager Ge had no choice but to obey.
"You will stay in the store during this period, so be careful." Meng Shaoyuan did not forget to make a special explanation.
"Don't worry." Manager Ge whispered, "I have a gun on me."
"With a gun?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Have you ever fired a gun?"
"Not really." Manager Ge laughed sarcastically.
He is an old agent of the Military Command Bureau and has been staying at the International Hotel since he was still a member of Lixingshe.
But he never actually fired a gun.
Not every agent comes and goes without a trace, amidst bullets and bullets every day.
Some agents have never even touched a gun, let alone fired one.
Manager Ge is this type of person.
"If you can avoid shooting, try not to shoot."
Meng Shaoyuan put out his cigarette butt: "It's done, I'm leaving."
"Hey, Charles."
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
Meng Shaoyuan turned around and saw that it was the Jewish female teacher Karen Goldberg.
He was startled: "Why are you here?"
"You guys know each other." Manager Ge said, "Another group of Jews arrived in Shanghai and were temporarily accommodated in our hotel. For humanitarian reasons, everything is free."
Among this group of Jews who arrived in Shanghai, there were several children. Karen was entrusted by Principal Lucy to visit these children.
Manager Ge is cunning and cunning, and he knows that his immediate boss is always flirtatious and lustful. This Jewish female teacher is beautiful and has such a hot figure. Don't tell me, the boss must be tempted.
He deliberately created an opportunity for his boss: "Ah, Boss Meng, our Chinese restaurant has just launched some new dishes. Would you and Mrs. Goldberg want to try them?"
So smart.
Meng Shaoyuan was filled with admiration, and then he asked politely: "Mrs. Goldberg, look, it's time to eat. I wonder if I can reward you?"
"Thank you for the invitation, Charles."
Karen smiled and said: "Last time, you helped little Lot, Charles. I haven't thanked you yet."
