There is no doubt that Ma Xiaowu is a member of the Military Control Commission, otherwise Tang Jin would not have sent him to protect himself, if he had another identity or mission.

Then there is only one possibility. He is most likely the person who was arranged by Dai Yunong by Tang Jin and monitored his every word and action at any time.

The Military Control Commission has a tradition of "mutual investigation" and surveillance. Although this is an effective way to prevent traitors, it actually does more harm than good.

However, for those miscellaneous people under the Military Control Commission, Dai Yunong wanted to effectively integrate them, this method was probably his last choice.

A person who is already suspicious can't think of any better way. What kind of ideology and belief are, within the Military Control Commission, I am afraid that there is no such means of mutual suspicion and control to be effective and direct.

Since Tang Jin did not say it out loud, Lu Xiyan naturally would not point it out, everyone knows it.

"Sir, Inspector General Tang, Madam asked me to call you down to have dinner." Yan Lei knocked on the door and said.

"I know, let's go now." Lu Xiyan nodded, "Brother Tang, please."

"please."

The restaurant downstairs sat around the table.

"They are all family members today. Come and welcome Brother Tang, sister-in-law and our cute little Tangying to visit. Everyone raise their glasses." Lu Xiyan arranged for Tang Jin to sit on his left, and down there were Meng Hao and Yan Lei, on the right there were Meng Fanxing, Mrs. Tang Liu Ying and Lan Liying, plus Xiao Tangying and Gu Xiaohui, there were just ten people at a table.

Ma Xiaowu and the others opened another table, but they were not with the main table.

"cheers!"

"When you start, you are all your own people, you don't have to be restricted. You can eat whatever you want. We won't follow those old rules." Lu Xiyan put down his wine glass and said.

"Haha, okay, this atmosphere is good." Tang Jin laughed, "I have heard that my brother and sister cooked a good dish. From now on, our family will come often."

"Brother Tang is polite. I'm so eager to come to your house for dinner with your sister-in-law and Liu Ying." Meng Fanxing smiled.

"The younger brother and sister are not only beautiful, but also gentle and considerate, and can speak. Brother Lu, it's so lucky." Tang Jin praised.

"I am far inferior to my sister-in-law's virtuousness." Meng Fanxing said hurriedly.

"Haha, your sister-in-law is indeed the best woman I have ever met in my life." Tang Jin has a good emotional intelligence. How could he forget to praise his wife at this time?

"What are you talking nonsense? So many people..." Liu Ying spat with a little embarrassed, her face turned red. She was also a lady from a wealthy family and rarely came out for social engagements. If she hadn't had a very close relationship, she would not have been willing to come out.

"I'm just telling the truth." Tang Jin smiled.

"Brother Tang, we all know that you and your sister-in-law are extremely loving, so don't show off in front of us. Do you think we'll go?" Lu Xiyan picked up the wine glass and joking.

"Hehe, OK." Tang Jin picked up the wine glass and met Lu Xiyan.

"Come on, come on, eat the dishes. The dishes tonight were made by Meimei, all of which were home-cooked dishes. Of course, it was also due to the contributions of her sister-in-law and Liying's elder sister." Lu Xiyan put down the wine glass and said.

Because there are female guests on the table, you naturally need to restrain your words and some topics cannot be mentioned, but the atmosphere is still very warm.

Love of beauty is a woman's nature, so clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics have become almost eternal topics for them.

Lu Xiyan and the others talked about some interesting things about the legal arrest house. After all, everyone lives in the French concession, and the one who comes into contact with the most is the legal arrest house. Tang Jin and Meng Hao both work in the legal arrest house. Lu Xiyan is also a consultant of the legal arrest house. As for Yan Lei, he has also dealt with the legal arrest house many times.

As for political matters, we definitely can’t talk about it at the dining table, and we can only do so in private.

For Tang Jin, eating is actually secondary. It is the main thing to find an opportunity to exchange opinions in the name of eating.

After drinking and eating, Lu Xiyan continued to invite Tang Jin to sit in his study.

Meng Hao also wanted to keep up, but his sister Meng Fanxing was dragged to help clean up. He couldn't let him know what Tang Jin and Lu Xi were talking about.

Before eating, it was just chatting. After dinner, the conversation became more formal and more serious.

The situation in the concession is getting worse and worse, especially the successive failures of the national army in wars. More and more pessimistic people are facing the war between China and Japan.

Especially since Wang Zhaoming published the public bid for "Yandian" on Sunday, pessimism and surrenderism have spread throughout the society, and the attitude in France is also very ambiguous.

Once the domestic compromise with the Japanese government, the attitudes of the Shanghai and Tianjin concessions towards Japan will naturally change accordingly, and this is exactly what Tang Jin and Lu Xiyan are most worried about now.

"At present, the United Kingdom, France and other European countries are already unable to take care of themselves, especially the United Kingdom. Since the outbreak of the economic crisis, the economy has been recovering very slowly. Britain's economic recovery requires Japan, a huge market. Since the war started, trade with Japan has not declined but increased, especially the strength of domestic conservative forces. All signs indicate that the compromise between Britain, the United States and other countries will continue, and this situation will be strengthened by Japan's advantage in the battlefield in China." Tang Jin said.

"The situation is already very dangerous, we are all standing at the crossroads of history." Lu Xiyan didn't know.

"Yes, now every step you take is necessary to be careful. Once you make a mistake, you will die without a place to bury yourself." Tang Jin said with the lid of the teacup in his hand.

"What's going on above?"

"On the public, it is mainly about resisting the war of resistance and saving the country, but in private, no one knows it. In short, the two voices are very chaotic." Tang Jin said, "But the Communist Party firmly advocates the war of resistance to the end, and it is unshakable."

"Wang Zhaoming has come to Shanghai, but he hasn't appeared yet. I think it's just a matter of time. Once he takes the lead, he is afraid that many people will follow him. He has much stronger appeal than Wang Kemin, Liang Hongzhi and others."

"Boss Dai failed to kill in Hanoi. When he arrived in Shanghai, the Japanese would definitely protect him closely, and it would be even more difficult to start." Tang Jin said.

"Have you ever thought about instigating the people around Wang Zhaoming to complete this matter?"

"How easy?" Tang Jin glanced at Lu Xiyan with a sideways and smiled bitterly, "By the way, how is Sun Yanan going?"

"I found some clues. The woman next to him whose stage name is Xiao Mudan is indeed having a problem."

"You mean the Korean woman named Han Caiying?"

"Yes, I guess you know what happened at the Hubei Guild Hall in Zhabei yesterday." Lu Xiyan asked.

"I know a little bit." Tang Jin nodded.

"In fact, that was an identification operation arranged by the military advisor for Sun Yanan. According to Yan Lei, the plan was like this. Recently, the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group was taken by the Pegasus Carriage Train at a contact point in Zhabei by the detective team of the Zhabei Police Bureau. The person in charge and operation personnel of the Pegasus Carriage Train were arrested. This contact point was discovered. It was a flaw left by their cooperation with the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission in the past. Therefore, the detective team that received the information thought they were from the Military Control Commission. The detective team then handed over them to No. 34. In order to rescue these people, and to identify Sun Yanan, the military advisor formulated a plan and used fake confessions as bait..."

"The Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group has any internal support on No. 34?"

"I don't know this." Tang Jin was surprised. In fact, the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group really had no internal support on No. 34, but it was not difficult to find a way to send some information in. At least those people in No. 34 were greedy and asked someone to hand in the note. That would be fine.

Those who do underground work naturally have the ability to pass notes without being discovered.

"The action was successful?"

"Now we can only say that at the beginning, we artificially created an opportunity to separate Sun Yanan from Han Caiying, and also created a crisis for Sun Yanan. If Sun Yanan is really an undercover agent sent by the Japanese, then Han Caiying will be with her all the way, and her identity is also questionable. Therefore, there is no obvious flaw in Sun Yanan, and we can start with this woman." Lu Xiyan explained.

After listening, Tang Jin exclaimed: "What the military advisors have planned is amazing."

Lu Xiyan smiled and felt a little embarrassed when he was praised in person, but he just couldn't show it on his face.

“Have you discovered something?”

"Yes, after Han Caiying escaped from the Hubei Association, he followed her all the way and found that she did not flee to the concession immediately, but went to a Japanese-style barbecue in Hongkou District. She stayed out in less than five minutes and then left." Lu Xiyan said, "That barbecue only entertains the Japanese."

"Ah, what after that?"

"I don't know what happened later." Lu Xiyan laughed and said, "At least, this shows that the direction of our doubts is correct, and there is no doubt about Sun Yanan's doubts."

"You are right. Is this Korean Caiying a Korean or a peninsula native? She fled to China because she participated in the struggle against the Japanese colonial peninsula. We know very little about her previous history, only that her father was a nobleman." Tang Jin said.

"Brother Tang knows that her mother is Japanese. She went to Japan when she was ten years old and grew up in Japan with her mother. She returned to the Peninsula at the age of eighteen and studied at Seoul University. She speaks fluent Japanese." Lu Xiyan said.

"What, is her mother Japanese?" Tang Jin was shocked. He thought it had been a lot of effort to find out the exact identity of "Little Mudan", but he didn't expect that Lu Xiyan knew more than him.

“It’s true.”

"How did you know?" Tang Jin regretted it after asking. He slapped his mouth and said, "I forgot that this must have been found by the military advisor."

Lu Xiyan nodded, and now he could explain himself.

"What is the next plan for the military advisor?"

"Observe and monitor Han Caiying's every move, unless she gets news that Sun Yanan is already safe, she will definitely find a way to confirm it."

"Has she been to that Japanese-style sauna?"

"In terms of time, it shouldn't be that fast." Lu Xiyan said, "but it is not ruled out."

"Well, it makes sense." Tang Jin nodded, "You must notify me of the follow-up news as soon as possible. Boss Dai has been pursuing the reasons for the failure of the Hanoi operation. If Sun Yanan is really that insider, then his suspicion will be infinite."

"Okay, don't worry, I will let you know the news as soon as possible."
