"Xiao Wu, let you live in the servant's room, I feel wronged!"

"No worries, Consultant Lu, your place is more comfortable than my home. It is bigger and spacious, and it has an electric fan, so it is cooler to sleep at night." Ma Xiaowu smiled.

"Just as long as you think it's good. If you have any needs, find Yan Lei. He will be in charge of all the affairs at home. You don't have to be polite." Lu Xiyan nodded and said to Ma Xiaowu.

"Thank you, Consultant Lu."

...

"Sir, could this Ma Xiaowu be deliberately placed by Tang Jin by your side..." Yan Lei was somewhat suspicious of Ma Xiaowu's identity.

"You said Tang Jin doubted me?" Lu Xiyan said, "What he doubted me? I have a connection with the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group, but at least I don't make him doubt my relationship with the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group at all."

"However, I have some doubts about Tang Jin's identity. He must have something to do with the Military Control Commission, but let's observe the specific relationship again." Lu Xiyan said.

"The fourth brother asked me to tell you that Takeuchi Yunko was searching for anti-Japanese patriots like crazy. In the past two days, many innocent people have been secretly arrested by Japanese plainclothes. The Public Concession Police Department has stepped up patrol efforts to ensure the safety of personnel."

"Our people were not arrested, aren't we?"

"Not yet, but a few peripheral personnel from the Military Control Commission have been exposed. They are hurrying to remedy the situation." Yan Lei said.

"I understand. Recently, try to contact Xinghualou as little as possible. We all try not to have cross-connections with the Military Commission." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"clear!"

...

"Meimei, I'm going to work. Yan Lei will send me over. He will come back later and pick you up to the company."

"Okay, I understand." Meng Fanxing agreed. She didn't need to go to school now during the summer vacation, but she had to go to the company to process some documents without listening.

The company had a bunch of old people helping with the care, and there were basically no particularly complicated matters.

...

"Mr. Thor, you are well recovering, but you should still pay attention to a light diet, don't eat irritating food, pay attention to rest, remember not to drink alcohol, you can drink some juice appropriately." Not long after arriving at the hospital, Thor's housekeeper Oberman came.

Come and pick him up to Thor's estate to conduct a routine monthly inspection for Thor.

"Thank you, Dr. Lu." Thor nodded.

"Mr. Saul, you are polite. You have invested in establishing a medical fund and helped so many people. I should thank you."

"Lu, China's war situation may worsen in the future. With your talent, you can go to Europe without having to stay in this war-torn country?" Saul said.

"Mr. Saul, if someone asks you to give up your French nationality, would you like?" Lu Xiyan did not answer, but asked back.

"Of course not." Thor replied without hesitation.

"Either can I." Lu Xiyan said affirmatively.

"I understand, Lu, you are the same person as me." Thor smiled.

"This is probably the reason why I got along with you." Lu Xiyan smiled and put away the treatment box.

"Ha ha……"

"The Chinese girl I was with you at the last time at the cocktail party was very beautiful. Is she your wife?" Thor asked.

"She is my fiancée. We are not married yet, so we are considered as a prospective wife." Lu Xiyan replied.

"Oh, I understand. If you get married, you must invite me to attend, okay?" Thor said enthusiastically.

"certainly."

From Thor's conversation, Lu Xiyan learned that Europe was not peaceful, and Germany occupied Austria, and the next step might be to attack the Czech Republic.

Britain, France and other countries have ambiguous attitudes towards Germany, and the whole world is on the eve of a volcano about to erupt.

On the Chinese side, the national army suffered consecutive setbacks on the front battlefield. The Japanese army was as fierce as a tiger and was besieging Wuhan from three routes, trying to achieve his contributions in one battle. In less than a week, Madang fortress was lost and the defense line in eastern Wuhan was opened.

The situation is quite unoptimistic for China.

In Shanghai, the Japanese kept instructing some traitors to cause trouble in the concession, trying to seize the police power in the concession, and of course they also involved in the economic interests within the concession, especially in the areas where the roads crossed the west of Shanghai were built, where bloody crimes occurred almost every day.

...

"Sir, the people sent by the Military Control Commission from Shanghai arrived. It was Zhao Lijun, the 'Chasing Tai Sui'. He also brought an operation team here." He originally asked Oberman to drive Lu Xiyan back to the hospital, but Yan Lei drove over to pick him up.

"Oh, when did it happen?"

"My fourth brother just informed me that he arrived last night." Yan Lei said.

"What's the attitude Zou Huai has there?"

"Zou Huai and Zhao Lijun were a little disagreement when they were in Shanghai, but Zou Huai was a veteran of the Military Control Commission. Zhao Lijun joined the Military Control Commission a little later, so it should be an internal struggle for power and profit." Yan Lei said while driving.

"It seems that we have to take good measures to deal with it. This Zhao Lijun is not here to seize power."

"It's not impossible."

"At present, we are working with Zou Huai. If Zhao Lijun replaces Zou Huai, we will reduce our contact with the Military Control Commission and let the Fourth Brother grasp the right measure." Lu Xiyan said.

"OK."

...

Matthes Road, Sihai Cargo Store.

"Zhao Lijun, I don't need to introduce it anymore. I have worked in Shanghai before. This time, Boss Dai sent this member to support our work in Shanghai in the future. Everyone welcomes you!" Although Zou Huai doesn't like Zhao Lijun very much, he comes with a special mission and cannot help but give him some face.

Pa. Pa. Pa...

The applause was a bit sparse. Shanghai District has done a great job in "anti-traitor" during this period, especially after cooperating with the "Iron-Blooded Anti-traitor Group", its operational efficiency has become higher and the losses have become smaller. It even gained a small advantage in the fight with the Japanese intelligence department.

For this reason, the upper and lower parts of Shanghai have been praised by the top of the peak.

Suddenly, someone came over, clearly here to pick peaches, and they were all a little emotional.

"I am Zhao Lijun, please take care of my brothers from Shanghai in the future!" Although Zhao Lijun was arrogant, he was just a newcomer, and the situation in the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission was completely different from when he left.

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Lijun will serve as the deputy district mayor and captain of the operation team of our Shanghai District!" Zou Huai announced.

"What about Captain Ling?" Someone was unfair to Ling Zhijiang, and Ling Zhijiang did not make any mistakes. How could he take action as Captain's position was overthrown?

"Captain Ling Zhijiang serves as the deputy captain of the action team." Zou Huai said, "In fact, there is no difference between the captain and the deputy captain. Next, the action team is divided into two groups, one group is led by Deputy District Mayor Zhao Lijun, and the second group is still led by Deputy Captain Ling Zhijiang."

This is almost the same. Even if Ling Zhijiang is dissatisfied, he has no choice. This is Boss Dai's arrangement.

"Deputy District Mayor Zhao, let me introduce it. This is Jiang Zhijun, the head of my Shanghai District Intelligence Group!" Zou Huai introduced his subordinates to Zhao Lijun.

"Hello, Deputy District Officer Zhao!" Jiang Zhijun saluted.

"Radio Director Su Zhentong."

“…”

"District, I heard that there is a special service team in our Shanghai District, code name: Death, is there any real one?" Zhao Lijun suddenly asked the important figure in the Shanghai District.

"The Death Group does exist, but it is not under the jurisdiction of our Shanghai District. We directly contact the Second Department of the Military Order." Zou Huai explained.

The "God of Death" group is actually the code name of the "Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group" in the Second Department of the Military Command. Shanghai District only knows this secret, including Zou Huai and several senior military command personnel.

"So that's the case. Can I meet the person in charge of this 'God of Death' group?" Zhao Lijun asked.

"I'm afraid this won't work. The 'Death God' group is independent of Shanghai District. Their actions do not belong to the leaders of Shanghai District, but directly obey the military command." Zou Huai said.

“Can you contact me?”

"It's okay to contact us. We are in Shanghai, and some information is exchanged regularly." Zou Huai thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll be upset. I want to meet the head of this 'God of Death' group as soon as possible. This is related to the important task I have to complete when I come to Shanghai." Zhao Lijun said.

"Can Deputy District Mayor Zhao reveal what mission is it for you to come to Shanghai?"

"This is not OK for the time being." Zhao Lijun said, "But the district will know soon."

"Okay, Deputy District Mayor Zhao and his brothers rest first, and then get familiar with the situation in our Shanghai area. I will contact the 'God of Death' group immediately." Zou Huai said.

...

"Sir, the fourth brother passed a message saying that Zhao Lijun wanted to see you, which may be related to the next task." Yan Leihui reported.

"Task, what mission?"

"I don't know that Zhao Lijun came with Shangfang's sword. He had his own team and also brought a radio station. He could contact Dai Yunong alone without his control." Yan Lei said.

"Let the fourth brother get in touch with Zhao Lijun and see what his mission is for coming to Shanghai this time." Lu Xiyan ordered, "Don't choose another place in Xinghua Tower."

"Okay, I get it."

"Dongdong..."

"Come in!"

"Brother An Zi, Yan Lei, are you talking about something?" Meng Fanxing pushed the door and saw Lu Xiyan and Yan Lei in the study.

"Oh, Yan Lei told me that you, the hostess at home, can't let Meimei, you, cook, and I suggested that I find a cook. I thought about it and thought this suggestion was good. However, it's not easy to find a cook who cooks well. We are discussing this matter." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"That's true. Dad has to take care of Xiaohao. Sometimes I am not at home. Xiaowu is a guest. You can't let others help you cook. You should find a suitable cook." Meng Fanxing nodded.

"Just agree with Meimei." Lu Xiyan nodded, "Yan Lei, if you do this, you must not be poor except for the reliable candidates."

"I understand, sir, then I'll go out first." Yan Lei nodded.

"Meimei, are you in trouble?"

"I almost forgot because of your interruption." Meng Fanxing said, "My sister Liying came to me today and said that the rent had increased again. She could hardly afford to rent it. She wanted to find another house to move. I remembered that the house on our Betton Road was empty and no one lived in, otherwise would she rent it to her?"

"What are you renting? Just let them live there. Someone is helping to see the house. We are not short of this money." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Brother Anzi, have you agreed?" Meng Fanxing said happily.

"Of course, this sister Liying looks well-educated and well-educated, has a good personality, is kind to others, and is a teacher, so what do I disagree with?" Lu Xiyan said.

This Lan Liying and Lu Xiyan have really sent someone to investigate. He is not at ease with those close to Meng Fanxing, whether it is intentional or natural.

If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.

This Lan Liying has been engaged in anti-Japanese and national salvation work for a long time. She participated in the wartime service team in the August 13th War and was also a member of the Women's Rescue Association. She has only reduced the frequency of activities in recent times.
