Agents of the Republic of China

Declan fell into the hands of Yuan Jianfeng, and his life and death are uncertain at the moment. This is what Li Rentao and Lin Xiaotang are most worried about. Professor Job's information is in his hands. If he gives these information to Yuan Jian Feng and the Japanese, the Americans and the Chongqing government will undoubtedly fall into an extremely passive situation. It can be expected that in the future battlefield, in order to defeat the Japanese, the allies will pay a greater price.

Lin Xiaotang even considered contacting Yuan Jianfeng in private to discuss whether there was any other way to get Declan out, but he thought of Declan's sensitive identity, Yuan Jianfeng's current obscurity, and his behavior and purpose However, Lin Xiaotang still temporarily shelved this idea and implemented it as the last plan.

There was no other way, Lin Xiaotang had no choice but to comfort Li Rentao and Declan's wife, and advised them to settle down temporarily, to see the development of the current situation, and then choose an opportunity to rescue them. Li Rentao and Declan's wife didn't say anything more. Both of them also understood how bad the current situation was, and the possibility of Declan's escape was very slim.

The two said they would obey Lin Xiaotang's arrangement, and Lin Xiaotang then arranged for Huoyan to hide the two of them personally, and all food and clothing were carried out according to the highest standards as much as possible, which was also to comfort the two of them.

……

For three days in a row, Lin Xiaotang used all his connections to find out about Declan's current news, but to no avail. Instead, Zhuang Chong first came to the door himself, saying that there was something important.Lin Xiaotang knew very well that Zhuang Chongxian could do as much as he said and did, and he would never exaggerate.A long time ago, because of Wang Jingwei's trust, he couldn't help being a little arrogant, but since Li Shiqun's strong rise, coupled with Wang Jingwei's estrangement, after experiencing these personal feelings, he has gradually learned to endure and bow down, but Lin Xiaotang I also know that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Zhuang Chongxian is just secretly accumulating strength. One day, he will get back everything he lost.

Knowing this old man's personality, Lin Xiaotang always kept a necessary distance in his contacts. The last time Zhang Xiaolin's incident was secretly set up by this old man, although it was to deal with a common enemy, but he was ordered The feeling of being tricked is always bad. Since then, Lin Xiaotang has been wary when dealing with Zhuang Chongxian. He knows that this person is actually the same person as Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun, but now he is standing with him for the benefit. One day, because of his own interests, he needs to deal with Lin Xiaotang, then he will definitely kill Lin Xiaotang without hesitation.

The news Zhuang Chongxian brought was meaningless to Lin Xiaotang.Li Shiqun rushed back to Nanjing to flatter Wang Jingwei. Although Chen Bijun hurried back to Shanghai, Wang Jingwei really knew his "violent wife" very well. As soon as he heard that she was going back to Nanjing, he immediately called his wife Shi Dan's lover hid, no matter how much Chen Bijun made a fuss, he was very persistent this time and never revealed Shi Dan's whereabouts. This made Chen Bijun helpless for a while, so he had to order the people below to search everywhere.

However, Zhuang Chongxian got the accurate information at the first time. Under Li Shiqun's suggestion, the woman named Shi Dan had quietly arrived in Shanghai. It's no wonder that Chen Bijun searched all over Nanjing and found no one.

What Zhuang Chongxian meant was that Li Shiqun made it clear that his move was to improve the relationship with Wang Jingwei, and to stand together with Wang Jingwei again through this incident was also to gain the trust of the Japanese again.This kind of situation is absolutely intolerable to Zhuang Chongxian. Obviously, Zhuang Chongxian is a person who has fallen out of favor. Seeing that his opponent wants to get closer to his boss again, he will inevitably feel resentment in his heart.

But Lin Xiaotang didn't take it seriously, Zhuang Chong didn't say it first, he also knew the purpose of Li Shiqun's move, but would it be useful?Now, is it still meaningful to hug Wang Jingwei's thigh?Li Shiqun's backstage shadow Zuo Zhenzhao and others were transferred one by one, which can explain the problem. A puppet began to become disobedient, and even wanted to be on an equal footing with the people behind him. What are the Japanese thinking in their hearts!

Also, the intention of Zhuang Chong to come to find Lin Xiaotang first is obvious, he just wanted to spoil the matter this time, and, judging from what he said, he was planning to use Lin Xiaotang's knife to kill people, which made Lin Xiaotang even more heartbroken. unhappy.

Don't say that this matter is meaningless to Lin Xiaotang. Offending a nominal puppet government chairman is harmful to a businessman like Lin Xiaotang. Besides, that woman Shi Dan has no grievances or enmity with Lin Xiaotang. Lin Xiaotang had grudges against traitors and Japanese, but that didn't mean he could be ruthless and kill innocent people indiscriminately.Zhuang Chongxian's move was somewhat of an attempt to encourage Lin Xiaotang to stand out.

Lin Xiaotang listened to Zhuang Chongxian's chattering words, although he was very disgusted in his heart, his face was still calm, until Zhuang Chongxian finished speaking in one breath, he replied with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang is too worried, a woman can turn over How much trouble has been caused, Mr. Wang is also a man of old times, can emotions and politics be mixed together? Li Shiqun was originally a dog, but now, he doesn’t want to be a dog anymore, he wants to be a man, will Mr. Wang and the Japanese agree?”

Hearing Lin Xiaotang's answer, Zhuang Chong couldn't help but blushed a little, and didn't say anything more at the moment, so he had to leave.

Lin Xiaotang sent Zhuang Chongxian away, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't be Zhuang Chongxian's shooter anyway, so he immediately called Guo Zhui and asked him to arrange paparazzi to keep an eye on Zhuang Chongxian's every move.

In the evening, the paparazzi sent news that Zhuang Chong returned home first and never went out, but a stranger came out of his house. When he left, Zhuang Chong personally sent him to the back corner door, seemingly very polite.This person's whereabouts were very mysterious. After leaving the mansion, he went directly to the train station. There were already people waiting at the train station, and he boarded the high-speed train to Nanjing.

The intelligence department compared the photos sent back by the paparazzi one by one, and found out that this person was Chen Bijun's personal secretary.

Lin Xiaotang was in a daze for a while, but couldn't help laughing out after thinking for a while, "It turned out that Chen Bijun came to the door, and I asked why this old fox is so enthusiastic! He himself was afraid of offending Wang Jingwei, so he came to me as a shooter , Now, I don’t know whose head the idea is directed at?”

……

Midsummer is coming to an end, the weather is not as hot as before, and there is already a little coolness in the morning and evening.Ever since the affair with Li Shiqun was revealed by Shanghai tabloids, Xia Zhiping originally didn't want to go to that familiar bookstore, but she had nothing to do all day long, and she didn't have any relatives or friends to rely on, so she really didn't dare to go to Hong Kong by herself Or abroad, so I can only stay at home obediently. Yuan Jianfeng finds someone to send over the usual expenses every month, so Xia Zhiping's life is worry-free. During this period, she took the initiative to call Yuan Jianfeng several times, But Yuan Jianfeng was always busy, and didn't give her much time to explain, but his attitude was much more relaxed than before, which made Xia Zhiping see the hope of reconciliation between the two.

Staying at home is also boring, so Xia Zhiping started to visit the bookstore again. Fortunately, Li Shiqun has returned to Nanjing. Since he ordered Gao Yingpei to send some gifts, he has never appeared again. There is a little disappointment and regret.

In the afternoon, Xia Zhiping brought a servant to the bookstore. The owner of the bookstore welcomed her in with a smile, even saying that he hadn't seen her for a long time, and let her into his office.

Xia Zhiping couldn't help being a little surprised, but the boss's attitude made her vanity extremely satisfied.

The boss served coffee, and asked people to pack all the new books during this period and send them to Xia Zhiping.

Xia Zhiping asked in surprise, "What do you mean, I haven't bought these books?"

Although the boss has eyes and is dressed like a cultured person, his face is full of philistinism, and the smile is kept on the corners of his eyes and brows, "Don't get me wrong, this bookstore has been bought by the gentleman who used to come with you often. I came down and arranged for me to take care of it here. When I left, I specially told me that every time a new batch of books arrives, I will prepare the next one for you and send them to your home regularly. These have just arrived in the past two weeks Please take a look at the new book, and I'll send someone to deliver it to your house right away!"

Xia Zhiping was stunned for a moment, she looked at the new book in front of her with the fragrance of ink in disbelief, her mind was a little confused for a while. "Although he left, he still remembered my preferences and arranged for someone to wait for me here!"

The familiar smiling face gradually appeared in front of her eyes, Xia Zhiping only felt a little short of breath, and her heartbeat also accelerated a lot.

But immediately, the face of Yuan Jianfeng that appeared in his mind shattered the joy and excitement in his heart, Xia Zhiping lowered her head timidly, and ordered the servant to give the address to the owner of the bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore leaned over with a flattering face, and told Xia Zhiping that there was a tea party for book friends here today, and asked her if she wanted to attend.

The so-called tea party is just a way for the bookstore to win over old customers. For some best-selling books, it holds small discussion meetings for book friends, attracting these old customers to come frequently, taste or buy new books.

There were not many people in the book club today, and the speaker was a university professor, who was talented and knowledgeable, and he spoke eloquently. After a while, Xia Zhiping listened with gusto.

Next to Xia Zhiping was a woman dressed in an elegant cheongsam. When the puppet turned around, it saw Xia Zhiping sitting beside her, and its gaze became eager.

Perhaps feeling the attention from her side, Xia Zhiping turned her head inadvertently. The woman in front of her had beautiful and fashionable curly hair, and the pink cheongsam was embroidered with exquisite patterns. It was obvious at a glance that it was handmade by a senior master in Shanghai. It was made, and it looked about 30 years old, with a pair of shining eyes staring at me without blinking.

This kind of gaze is very strange, like a very excited gaze, suddenly appearing in the eyes of a woman, it makes Xia Zhiping feel a little uncomfortable.

Realizing her abruptness, the woman smiled, "Hello, are you a book friend here too? We will see each other often in the future. My name is Nan Yun. What do you call me?"
