Lost and Spy

Chapter 313 My Shanghai
Sir Lucas and his wife have disappeared altogether, and there is no news of them anywhere.

Even their servants don't know where they went.

Kidnapping, it must be a dastardly and terrible kidnapping.

Now, Sinclair is totally sure.

Chinese!
Must have been made by those damn Chinese.

How dare they kidnap the British?

And a very noble jazz?

Crazy, they're all crazy.

At Daniel's invitation, Meng Shaoyuan agreed to take some time out of his busy schedule to meet with Sinclair.

Sinclair is not satisfied with such a vocabulary.

But for the safety of the Jazz and his wife, he is still willing to endure it for a while.

When he saw Meng Shaoyuan appearing in his office, he tried his best to control his emotions: "Mr. Meng, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"I'm not happy, not at all."

Never expected that Meng Shaoyuan's opening remarks would be like this: "One of my subordinates just died, so I'm in a bad mood. If you have anything to do, please tell me straight to the point."

"It's really sad news." Damn Chinese, how dare you talk to me like that?Sinclair had to work hard to keep himself from having an episode:

"A former director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the respected Sir Lucas and his wife, have disappeared. I know that Mr. Meng is a very capable person in Shanghai..."

"I know where they are."

What was even more unexpected was that Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him straightforwardly: "Sir Lucas and Mrs. Lucas have been invited by me as guests."

What?asshole!

The jazz couple was really kidnapped by this bastard!
"Guest"?
Another meaning of being a guest is kidnapping.

"Where are they now?" Sinclair's tone suddenly became serious.

"I don't want to tell you." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "When I think they have had enough fun, maybe they will come back."

"Maybe?" Sinclair opened the wooden box: "Is this finger Mrs. Madam's?"

Meng Shaoyuan took a look: "That ring really belongs to Mrs. Sir, I have seen it before."

"You despicably kidnapped two British people!" Sinclair finally broke out: "This is a crime, a crime! You dare to hurt the lady and cut off her finger, you are a despicable criminal!"

Well, anyone looking at this finger will think so.

Because it has my lady's ring on it.

Even if Meng Shaoyuan told them in person that Sir Lucas and his wife were really guests in Nanjing and that the ring had nothing to do with that finger, the other party would not believe it.

Many people believe what they see "with their own eyes".

Like now.

"I committed a crime? Do you have any evidence?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered, "Who saw me kidnap the Jazz and his wife? Who saw me cut off the lady's fingers? These are all your guesses."

"Guess? Then who sent this finger?"

"Who sent it? Does that have anything to do with me? If whoever sends you a finger is going to find me, what will the next time someone send you two heads of the Sir and Mrs.?"

"Bastard thing!"

Meng Shaoyuan's attitude completely angered Sinclair: "Mr. Meng Shaoyuan, I now officially inform you that you thought you were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and injuring Sir Lucas and his wife."

"Hey, Joe, calm down." Daniel hurriedly persuaded from the side.

"It's okay, Daniel." Meng Shaoyuan didn't panic at all: "You want to arrest me, Mr. Solteras? Are you ready to face the consequences of arresting me? Can you afford such consequences?"

"Threat me?" Sinclair decided that he could not give in anyway: "Your agents are fighting the Japanese and don't have the energy to deal with this matter. Besides, you don't dare to make things big in the public concession. We will report to you Your government has solemnly protested."

"Yeah, our government will give in, and they won't offend the British Empire because of a little guy like me." Meng Shaoyuan's words sounded like giving in.

"Yes, so I suggest you, Mr. Meng..."

"Shut up, tell me before I finish speaking, which teacher taught you etiquette?" Meng Shaoyuan angrily reprimanded, and then smiled coldly in front of Sinclair, who was ashen-faced:
"My government can't do anything about it, but I have a way. Before I came here, I have told my subordinates that if I can't come back, then tomorrow morning, there will be reward orders in the streets and alleys of the International Settlement.

Kidnapping an Englishman, £[-].Kidnapping a director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, [-] pounds.Ah, I take special care of you. According to the reward order, there will be a hundred thousand pounds for your head. "

Crazy, crazy, this Chinese must be crazy.

Sinclair was dumbfounded.

"I have money. Do you understand the magic power of money, Mr. Solteras?" Meng Shaoyuan spoke as if he was about to go to a banquet:
"The whole of Shanghai will go crazy under the magic of money. The stability of the International Settlement? That's a joke. By the way, do you have proof that I did it? With the British kidnapped one after another, I am It was detained by you."

"You rascal, you are a rascal."

Sinclair murmured.

But there was nothing he could do about the rascal.

Shanghai will be in chaos. If this scoundrel really does this, the Shanghai International Settlement will surely fall into a terrible chaos.

That would be the greatest tragedy for the British in the International Settlement.

However, something even more terrifying came out of Meng Shaoyuan's mouth: "By the way, where are Mr. and Mrs. Gertwood, the director of the health department who took office together with you this time, do you know where they are now?"

Sinclair's complexion changed again.

"Let me use the phone for a moment, please?"

Sinclair nodded blankly.

Meng Shaoyuan stood up and went to the phone: "Please help me connect to Zhiwei Building... Please help me find Mr. Gertwood in the Tianzi No. [-] private room, yes, someone is looking for..."

Immediately, he handed the phone to Sinclair.

Sinclair's hands were trembling when answering the phone. After a while, Gertwood's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, who are you?"

"Ah, I'm Sinclair."

"Hi Joe, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Gertwood, what are you doing there?"

"Ah, some enthusiastic Chinese invited me to dinner."

"The Chinese treat you to dinner?"

"Yes, my wife and I went shopping and got lost. When we asked for directions, a Chinese man could speak English. We had a pleasant conversation. He also treated me to Chinese delicacies."

"Oh, I know."

The phone was hung up...

……

"Mr. Greenwood, Madam, try this duck." Xu Chengbo enthusiastically introduced to Mr. Greenwood and his wife: "Although the ducks in Shanghai are not as famous as those in Peking and Nanjing, they still have their own characteristics."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, my wife and I met such a warm friend when we came to China for the first time." Mr. Greenwood expressed his gratitude repeatedly: "Moreover, you also took us to eat such delicious food. "

"I'm a businessman and I like to make friends." Xu Chengbo said with a smile: "My boss will be very happy knowing that I do this."

"Ah, when can I see your boss?"

"Of course, Mr. Greenwood, I believe that my boss will be happy to deal with you."

……

Sinclair paled.

Mr. Greenwood was also controlled by this demon.

"You want to detain me, you can't afford the consequences." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette for himself: "This is not your Shanghai, this is mine! Donation Office, Public Works Office, Education Office, my people Eyes on every one of your departments, eyes on all your foreign officials. Don't provoke me, Mr. Solteras, you can't play this game."

You can't afford this game!
This guy, Daniel laughed in his heart, this guy Meng Shaoyuan is too smart.

He knew very well that Meng Shaoyuan did not hurt Sir Lucas and his wife, and that finger Meng Shaoyuan had clearly told him before coming that it had nothing to do with the lady.

The Jazz and his wife were really invited by him as guests.

The Greenwoods were also invited by his subordinates to taste Chinese delicacies there.

Meng Shaoyuan is simply a friend of foreigners, how could a friend like him do such a thing as kidnapping?

Even though it looks like kidnapping.

But you don't have any proof.

"Daniel, don't worry, I'm not that crazy yet. When I'm dealing with the Japanese, my government won't allow me to go to war with the British. Once I do, they will Shoot me."

This is what Meng Shaoyuan told Daniel: "I just want to let Mr. Solteras know whose Shanghai this is!"

"Speak, Mr. Meng." Sinclair's tone softened: "What do you want me to do to stop?"

"It's very simple. I told you before that I want to make friends with you." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and took out a check: "I gave it to you last time, but you rejected it. Accept this check." , we will be friends from now on.”

Sinclair certainly knew what it would mean once he accepted the check.

No matter what Meng Shaoyuan wanted to do in the future, he had to do what he said.The majestic police chief in front of others will only be a puppet in front of Meng Shaoyuan.

But at this point, he has no way to refuse.

Sinclair accepted the check almost tremblingly.

"Look, we are friends now, aren't we?" Meng Shaoyuan was very satisfied: "Sir Lucas and his wife will be back soon, and they haven't lost a single hair. I won't do anything to offend my friends."

Sinclair has now finally understood something he should have understood long ago:

Here is Meng Shaoyuan's Shanghai!
