Shadow Spy

Chapter 45 The Rockefeller Daughter

The entire fleet has 25 cars, which is a bit astonishing in today's Shanghai!When the convoy passed through Xuhui, the Japanese army and puppet police posts along the way saw the same American flag. They did not dare to stop them in any way, but they naturally reported the incident...

Li Junhao's car followed the convoy. Seeing the surprised eyes of the citizens along the way, he felt that the reception work of the Consulate General was a bit too ostentatious - you know, except for the concession in the city center, the outside is all Japanese-occupied areas!In order to avoid the Japanese army, nearly 300 million people have entered the French Concession and the Public Concession. Under these circumstances, such a large-scale reception does not meet the security requirements.However, his right to speak now is limited and he has no way to change anything. He can only be careful.

Li Junhao and the little girl named Linda were sitting in the back seat of the car. He was thinking about things silently, while Linda lifted the car curtain and looked curiously at the scene outside. From time to time, there were sounds of surprise, indicating that Out of interest in the outside world.

The nearly 15-kilometer journey, except for the first section, was basically passing through the most prosperous concession area in Shanghai. Not only Linda, but basically all members of the delegation were watching the window with interest.

For most Americans, this mysterious Eastern country has too many legends. Even the heirs of these conglomerates, big capitalists, and corporate executives are full of curiosity. No matter what the purpose of their previous visit to China, this I am always attracted to the street scene in front of me...

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at Huangpu Road on the east side of the Waibaidu Bridge. At this time, the front of the Licha Hotel was already under guard by the US Marine Corps, and hundreds of people gathered to watch.

The escort vehicles in the motorcade were parked outside and on guard. The 16 vehicles carrying the delegation members were parked in front of the hotel one after another, and were escorted into the hotel by the accompanying vehicles and the staff waiting at the door...

It should be said that Commercial Counselor Thain was very capable, and the entire check-in process was not chaotic at all. It only took less than 10 minutes to send all the guests to the hotel rooms; then, the US Marines blocked the fourth floor of the hotel. As for the upward passage, there is even an elevator dedicated to the fourth floor and above.

There are three kitchens in the hotel, which serve Chinese food, Western food and snacks and pastries respectively. At this time, the Western restaurant was directly blocked and supervised, and was only used by the delegation. The chefs have been specially reviewed by the Consulate General... In short, in all aspects, this place is The reception work at that time was already done to the extreme.

Li Junhao had already felt at this time that although he was nominally the translation team leader, he was actually excluded from the core layer. Even if he had arrived at the hotel, the seven translators who were supposed to report to him, except for the one who started at the airport, Huang Mingxuan was just beside him, and there was no trace of anyone else.

Of course, Li Junhao was a little unhappy about this, but she didn't show it, but Linda, who insisted on taking his car, didn't want to get out of the car when she got there!It made him very helpless.

"Miss Linda, what do you want, just say it!" Li Junhao asked.

"I came to China this time just for you!" Linda said, "I won't stay in the hotel, I want to go to your house!"

What?Li Junhao was confused. What is this young lady doing?Although he doesn't know Linda's identity yet, seeing that Thain has always been with her father, he knows that her identity is definitely not simple!Coupled with the information he obtained before, he judged that she was probably the contemporary eldest daughter of the Rockefeller Foundation. She got it into his home. Are you crazy? "Mingxuan, go to Mr. Thain for instructions. We have a problem here." He said this in Chinese.

"Yes, Mr. Pan Sen." Huang Mingxuan agreed, immediately got out of the car and ran to find Commercial Counselor Thain.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Linda saw them saying things they didn't understand, and then the Chinese man in the passenger seat got out of the car and ran away. She was a little funny, and then immediately said: "I guessed it, you asked him to find my father." No? It's useless. My father can't change the decision I made..."

Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, Huang Mingxuan, who hurried back, reported that Mr. Thain had sought the opinion of the delegation leader, Mr. Lester Rockefeller, and agreed that Linda would follow him; and Thain also asked Huang Mingxuan to tell him that Miss Linda His identity is very important. He needs to concentrate on protecting and serving him these days. The work of the translation team is left to others.

Li Junhao thought to himself, well, he will remove his translation team leader and become this little girl's full-time nanny!Yes, just obey the order!However, he still called Hanprey to report it, so as not to make it unclear later.In this regard, Hanprey could only ask him to obey Thain's order. After all, he was both the director of the Commercial Department and the person in charge of the reception.

What made Li Junhao even more uncomfortable was that although he was asked to take care of Linda, Huang Mingxuan and his assistant Brown were transferred away by Thain. Fortunately, his car was not requisitioned. Presumably, it was left to him and let him be the driver. , for Miss Linda's service.

In addition, Li Junhao also felt that the little girl's father, Mr. Rockefeller, was big-hearted. He was afraid that his daughter would come to a strange country and immediately run away with others. Can he agree?
It was already past eleven o'clock. After settling the delegation, Li Junhao and the others could take turns to eat and rest, but at this time there was a small trouble in the car, and it became a task. He couldn't just leave it alone!Well, since my task is to only take care of this one, I might as well just go home. It's better than staying in a hotel.

When he drove back to Dequlou, the little girl in the back seat was so sleepy that he could hardly open her eyes. He could only wake her up, half-support and half-hug her into the house, still holding her with his other hand. suitcase.

Originally, he had told Xiao Yu that he would not be back at noon today. Xiao Yu did not prepare to cook, but planned to eat some biscuits or something. However, when he saw him coming back with a beautiful foreign girl in his arms, she muttered unhappily. Mouthed.

"Xiaoyu, clean up the guest room upstairs and let Miss Linda rest..." Li Junhao said, "Well, this is a guest of the consulate. She will stay at home for two days. Please stay with her more!"

"Oh, I got it, sir!" Hearing this, Xiaoyu was happy. It turned out that he was a guest of the consulate, so it would be fine. "The guest room has been tidied up a long time ago. Let me help her up!" After saying that, Xiao Yu stepped forward to take over. With her strength, she easily got Linda upstairs...

Li Junhao took off his coat and hung it on a hanger nearby. He took a can of beer from the refrigerator and sat on the sofa to relax and have a drink.
