Shengjia old store.
"Slow down..." Wu En's carriage stopped. Zhou Sen went over to open the door and helped the fashionably dressed Jiang Rou out of the car.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaomori." Jiang Rou showed a sweet smile.
"Follow me, why are you so polite? Let's eat first and then take you to my company." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Brother Xiaosen, who is this lady?" Jiang Rou asked slightly curiously when she saw Anna behind Zhou Sen.
"This is Anna, my secretary. She is mainly responsible for some chores in the company." Zhou Sen introduced. Anna insisted on following, but he couldn't refuse.
Anyway, his relationship with Jiang Rou couldn't be kept secret for long. The Japanese must have thoroughly checked his social relationship.
If you can't hide it, show it openly. As long as you hide the most secret thing, that's enough.
If Jiang Rou is going to be with him frequently in the future, then this relationship cannot be concealed at all. Since it cannot be concealed, it is better to disclose it openly.
"Hello, Miss Anna, my name is Jiang Rou." Jiang Rou nodded slightly and reached out.
"Hello, Miss Jiang Rou." Anna also politely stretched out her hand to shake it and nodded, but she was very shocked. In the intelligence, there was no news about this Jiang Rou. Where did this come from?
This guy Zhou Sen must be hiding very well.
"Anna, Jiang Rou has only recently come to Bingcheng. We brothers and sisters finally have a chance to have a meal. You and Wu En can go back to the company." Zhou Sen ordered.
"Okay." Anna was unwilling to leave, but she thought about how she could disobey her boss's orders as she was just a secretary.
Isn't this obviously a problem?
This guy Zhou Sen is really accurate. This guy is a bit lazy and lustful, but he is definitely not stupid...
"Brother Xiaomori, since I am your secretary, why not..."
Jiang Rou still wanted to speak, but she was already pulled into the store by Zhou Sen. There were some things that he really didn't want Jiang Rou to get involved in. She didn't know that it was not a bad thing after all.
"Boss Sheng, private room."
"Okay."
"Xiaorou, why did you want to come see me today?" Zhou Sen sat down in the box and asked.
Jiang Rou smiled slightly and explained: "I just had a rest today. I thought I hadn't seen Brother Xiaomori for a while, so I came here."
"You didn't let Sun Qingkui know?"
"He doesn't know, I didn't tell him." Jiang Judao, she will not tell Sun Qingkui about Zhou Sen. She can hide it as long as she can.
"If this person named Sun knew that you were coming to see me, I'm afraid he would cause trouble for you." Zhou Sen said. He knew Sun Qingkui very well. He was greedy for money, stingy, and snobbish.
"Brother, do you really want to be a policeman for the rest of your life?" Jiang Rou asked.
"Xiaorou, why do you suddenly ask that?" Zhou Sen was surprised, "What's wrong with being a police officer? It's a good profession and job to maintain social order and ensure the safety of citizens."
"But do the people of Bingcheng approve it?"
"The common people just misunderstood for a moment. Just imagine how bad the security situation would be if there were no police in this city. Will they still have a peaceful life by then?" Zhou Sen can't call himself a "bastard", right? He is also a policeman.
Jiang Rou smiled helplessly. She also knew that Zhou Sen's living environment was different from hers, and it was difficult to feel the oppression and powerlessness of ordinary people.
"Brother, don't you realize that Manchukuo is a puppet government of Japan?"
"Xiaorou, you are an opera actor, why are you concerned about politics? This is not something you should touch." Zhou Sen also felt that Jiang Rou came to see him today, and there seemed to be an unusual flavor in her words. .
"Brother, when you were a child, you were someone who couldn't stand being bullied. How come you don't have that bloody streak now?" Jiang Rou asked.
"Xiaorou, why do I lose my bloodiness?"
"The Japanese are burning, killing, looting and running rampant on our land. As Chinese, shouldn't we stand up and fight to the end?"
"Xiaorou, you can just say this in front of me. You must never mention it in front of other people. Otherwise, no one can save you." Zhou Sen said flatly.
"elder brother……"
"If you still recognize me as your brother, don't mention this again in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me as your brother for being unkind." Zhou Sen said sternly.
A trace of deep disappointment flashed in Jiang Rou's eyes.
"Let's eat. Today we are just talking about the relationship between brother and sister. I will take you to visit my company later." Zhou Sen looked as usual and did not show too much anger toward Jiang Rou.
"Come on, Xiaorou, try it. The beef offal made in this shop is pretty good." Zhou Sen enthusiastically served Jiang Rou some vegetables while telling some interesting things about his childhood.
Jiang Rou also told some stories about her travels over the years, especially the stories about how she met many famous people.
Zhou Sen was naturally envious. He had been staying in Ice City and had no chance to go out. He also wanted to see the outside world.
Except for a few awkward chats at the beginning, everything was very harmonious later on.
After lunch, Zhou Sen took Jiang Rou to visit "Sen" and made her a cup of coffee with his own hands.
Jiang Rou stayed in "Sen" for more than an hour, then said goodbye and left. Zhou Sen also asked Wu En to drive her back.
…
"Zhou Sen, this Miss Jiang Roujiang is actually Xiao Xiangning, who is now sensational in Bingcheng. Are you two still brother and sister?" Anna was not idle either. While Zhou Sen and Jiang Rou were having dinner, she had already found out who Jiang Rou was. Rou's other identity.
"More than ten years ago, Jiang Rou and I were sold into a theater troupe. I was older than her at that time, and we had a good relationship. She always clung to me, and I also took good care of this sister. Later, I couldn't bear the troupe leader. Because of the bullying, I ran away secretly. Originally, I wanted to take her with me, but she slept so hard that night that she couldn't wake up no matter how much I screamed. I had no choice but to run away secretly alone, until recently. , she returned to Bingcheng and posted a notice to find me, and we were able to recognize each other." Zhou Sen explained.
"I see, but why didn't you report such an important situation?" Anna asked.
"This is my private matter, why should I report it?"
"Anyone who appears next to you now may be potentially dangerous to you. We must investigate and confirm." Anna explained.
"She is an opera singer and has not been back for more than ten years. This time she is invited by New Stage to come back for a residency. What kind of threat do you think she will pose to me?" Zhou Sen asked, "I am just a small person, insignificant. By doing this, are you going too far?"
Anna was silent.
"Okay, you want to investigate, go ahead, but you can't hurt Xiaorou. This is my bottom line." Zhou Sen said.
"Don't worry, we are just conducting a routine investigation and will not harm Miss Xiao Xiangning." Anna said.
During dinner today, Jiang Rou would not say those words for no reason. Does she really care about herself or does she have other purposes?
But out of caution, he did not respond or even refused to continue on the topic.
Jiang Rou asked where his "bloody nature" had gone. At that moment, he was really touched. When he was a child, he could run away from the troupe because he could not bear the humiliation. But now that he has grown up, he no longer has the courage to resist as a child.
Judging from Anna's attitude, there should be no problem with Jiang Rou's identity. The Japanese would not bring "Jiang Rou" back to Bingcheng just to test themselves.
Anyway, it's okay to be careful.
It's been a day since I called Madiel Hotel, and I don't know what method Arman will use to get in touch with him.
The same method can only be used once. If it fails, it cannot be used again.
…
Wu En returned after sending Jiang Rou back to his residence, but after Jiang Rou returned, she changed another set of clothes and went out immediately.
Instead of calling a carriage, she got on a tram bound for the Pier District.
Jiang Rou got out of the car at a stop near Paotu Street.
"Fu" Ji Grocery Store, Lao Zhang saw Jiang Rou coming in and quickly led her in through the back door and into a small room at the back.
Poporov had been waiting for a long time, and he was a little anxious. When he saw Jiang Rou coming in, he stood up and asked, "How was the meeting?"
Jiang Rou thought for a while and said: "During the conversation, he seemed to be very satisfied with his current situation and agreed with the police profession. When I wanted to talk about other aspects, he stopped me in time and seemed not interested in political issues. , and I don’t want to talk more, I can’t have an in-depth conversation.”
Poporov looked slightly disappointed and said: "He didn't become suspicious of you or make things difficult for you?"
"Isn't that true?" Jiang Rou shook her head.
"It seems that the person who called the night before yesterday was not him..." Poporov muttered to himself.
"Comrade Poporov, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing. You continue to keep in contact with him, and don't bring up such topics in the near future, so as not to bring you danger." Poporov said.
"Okay, what about my next mission?" Jiang Rou asked. It was obvious that Poporov had reservations about her, but the underground work discipline was like this, and you couldn't pry around.
"Do you know his relationship with Bai Yulan of Ningxiang Pavilion?" Poporov asked.
"Know a thing or two." Jiang Rou hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Are the two of them really having the kind of relationship between men and women as rumored by the outside world?" Poporov asked.
"In my opinion, their relationship is indeed very close. He also asked me to directly call Bai Yulan 'sister-in-law', but according to my observation, they have not reached that stage yet." Jiang Rou said.
"What do you mean you haven't reached that point yet?" Poporov asked in confusion.
"It's just that we don't really mean to be together yet." Jiang Rou didn't know how to explain it. This was also her feeling. It came from her observation of many couples she had known over the years, the intimacy between real couples and the pretense. There is still a difference in intimacy.
"After these two contacts, what kind of person do you think he is?" Poporov asked.
"this……"
"Comrade Messenger, don't worry about anything you say," Poporov could see Jiang Rou's hesitation and reminded him.
"He is a sincere and kind person. At least what I learned during this period is that he doesn't have many bad records as a policeman. Apart from being a bit romantic and frivolous, even though we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, he still has a deep love for him. I care deeply and there is no barrier at all. The reason why he is unwilling to talk about politics may be due to his sense of self-protection. After all, he needs to be cautious in this environment." Jiang Rou thought for a moment and said.
After hearing this, Poporov said: "Because of your special relationship with him, we chose you to carry out this mission. There are some things that need to be explained to you. Zhou Sen's adoptive father, Anthony Robin, is an underground rebel. An important member of the Russian Patriot League of the Soviet organization, his code name is: Priest, and he has a very important position. Although we are still unclear about his original purpose of adopting Zhou Sen, he sent Zhou Sen to the police academy and arranged for him to join the Nangang Police Department. The agency must have a purpose, otherwise, why would he strongly interfere with Zhou Sen's choice? Zhou Sen was originally planning to engage in literary work, but under the strong interference of his adoptive father, he became a policeman in Manchukuo..."
Jiang Rou was shocked when she heard this.
She now somewhat understands that her superiors selected her to perform a mission in Ice City. In addition to her special relationship with Zhou Sen, she may also have his special identity.
"Comrade Messenger, we must understand his thoughts. This issue is very critical, do you understand?" Poporov said.
"Understood, Comrade Poporov."
