Liu Qixiong's sudden appearance in Shanghai aroused Meng Shaoyuan's strong interest.
He killed Feng Keyi's brother, and he indeed deserves to die.
But which traitor is not like this?
If a traitor doesn't do bad things and doesn't harm others, that's really weird.
He just wanted to make one thing clear:
Why did Liu Qixiong come to Shanghai?
He is considered an important figure and senior official of Wang Puppet regime.
From the relatively safe Nanjing, plunge into the complex public concession of Shanghai. Why?
Why, that's the key.
This is a public concession, and Meng Shaoyuan can still call the shots here.
If Feng Keyi had discovered Liu Qixiong and followed him quietly, and then reported it to his superiors, I believe it would have been a different situation.
But he failed to restrain his temper, drew his gun and fired, which alerted Liu Qixiong.
Liu Qixiong is likely to become a frightened bird.
"Efforts should be made to track Liu Qixiong's whereabouts." Meng Shaoyuan immediately issued the order: "If Liu Qixiong leaves the public concession, there is nothing I can do, but if he is still stranded here..."
Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "That means he is here with an extremely important special mission..."
…
"There are not many useful files on Liu Qixiong that can be found."
Early the next morning, Wu Jingyi had already reported: "I checked all Liu Qixiong's files yesterday. Most of them are official, and not many are useful.
However, I discovered something from the archives of our military commander. After Liu Qixiong rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, we followed our usual practice of targeting him. However, this person had an unusual relationship with Liu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing garrison, so he was not on the assassination list. "
"Liu Zhi!"
Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "The former director of the Military Training Department of the Party Affairs Training Corps, now the head of the Wang Puppet Officer Training Corps, and military senator Liu Yi, is Liu Zhi's nephew, and he is not on the assassination list, right?"
"Yes, I didn't come either."
Liu Zhi, the leader of the Five Tiger Generals?
I bother!
Whatever you can't do, escape first.
"continue."
Wu Jingyi immediately said: "Liu Qixiong has been to Shanghai twice since his rebellion, and each time he stayed at the home of a Dutch businessman, Barber Ronald.
Liu Qixiong pays great attention to his own safety and is always accompanied by several bodyguards when he comes in and out. Coupled with Babel's foreign status, it is not easy for us to take action..."
"Isn't he just a Dutchman? The entire country of the Netherlands was defeated by Germany in four days, and the queen has gone into exile. Why is she still so proud in Shanghai?" Meng Shaoyuan dismissed it.
However, since Wu Jingyi said so, it is very likely that Liu Qixiong will stay at Babel's home this time.
But, how can we get closer to get more accurate information?
…
"Gentlemen, I have called you here this time because I have some important things to discuss with you."
Sitting in Meng Shaoyuan's office were Joey Freemont, chairman and general manager of Angus International Bank, Hawes of the Shantang Knights, and Hoyle, the head of the counterfeit banknote factory.
Meng Shaoyuan said straight to the point: "The situation in Shanghai is becoming increasingly tense. The public concession is no longer safe. Joey, I asked you to prepare to evacuate Angus Company. How is it going?"
"We have evacuated most of our assets and moved them to the United States."
As Meng Shaoyuan's partner, Joey said: "There are still some real estate left, and I am working hard to deal with it. I believe I will be able to complete it in two months."
"Speed it up a little bit more."
Meng Shaoyuan frowned and said: "Some unnecessary bottles and cans can be thrown away. May is chosen, and all evacuation must be completed before the end of July."
"OK!"
Joey is an American, but he gave full trust and respect to the Chinese man in front of him. Without him, the business of Angus International would not be in full swing.
The Chinese's judgment has never been wrong.
"Mr. Hawes."
Meng Shaoyuan then said: "The same goes for you, if the situation in Shanghai changes, those Japanese will not care if you are from the Shantang Knights or the Shantang Circus.
Mr. Hawes, from the beginning of the war in Shanghai to now, you have done a lot for China. The Chinese people and I are very grateful to you, but you have become a thorn in the side of the Japanese, so it is time for you to evacuate. "
“But there’s still a lot I haven’t done in China.”
Hawes had just finished speaking, but Meng Shaoyuan had already said: "No, your mission is completed. Please follow Joey to evacuate Shanghai. After you go back, I want to ask you one thing. Everything you saw with your own eyes in China, Tell it to the whole world, let people all over the world know that in the face of the violent sun, the Chinese people resisted so desperately and swore to die not to be slaves to the country's subjugation!"
"Please let me do it."
Hawes said without hesitation: "I see and I hear that although this country is in the flames of war, they have never surrendered. Each of you is a true warrior. This is a What a great country!"
Then, he stared at Meng Shaoyuan:
"I know you still have a mission. No matter how the situation in Shanghai changes, you will still fight to the death in Shanghai. Please take care of yourself. The Shantang Knights are with you, Knight Meng Shaoyuan!"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled, but then he put away his smile: "Joy, I have one more thing I want you to do for me."
"You tell me, as long as I can do it."
"Do you know Barbel Ronald?"
"Ah, that Dutch businessman Ronald?"
Hawes nodded: "I know him. He is in the lumber business."
"I want to get close to him, is there a way to help me do it?"
"Of course." Joey thought for a moment: "I can hold a dance. When the time comes, I will invite him, and of course you."
"good!"
Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "My identity is Chinese-American, and my family is doing business in the United States. This time I came to China to find new business opportunities, a business that interests Mr. Ronald... My name is Tian Boguang!"
"Walking alone thousands of miles" Tian Boguang.
No, no, this name is unlucky. Didn't Tian Boguang get "clicked" down there later?
Just when he was about to regret it, it was already too late, Joey immediately said: "OK, Mr. Tian Boguang, a Chinese American, I will arrange this dance as soon as possible."
"The faster, the better." Meng Shaoyuan muttered in his heart.
Damn it, it’s not a good name, why should I call it Tian Boguang?
…
Joey and Hawes are gone.
Hoyle stayed.
"You have made a fortune in China over the years."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You should have made enough money, right?"
"Earned enough."
Hoyle also smiled and said: "So, do I have to evacuate too?"
"No, the machine evacuates, you stay."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Because you are a talented person, maybe you can help me anytime!"
