Northeast tavern.

"Boss, you really guessed that our old opponent has followed us." Alai went out all day and finally came back, bringing back a piece of news that Luo Yaozu didn't feel surprised.

"Where is it?" Luo Yaozu asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but I've already smelled their scent." Alai smiled.

"Whose opponent is theirs? Those who can make Hattori suffer losses and escape unsuccessfully must be an ordinary master." Luo Yaozu continued to ask.

"It's a mysterious ghost in the past six months."

"Ghost, is this the name given to them by the Japanese?"

"Yes, they came without a shadow, went without a trace, killed the devils, killed traitors, and no one had seen their true faces, but this time they were also attacked by their opponents." Alai said.

"How did they encounter it?"

"I don't know, according to the owner of the big car shop, a group of people came that evening, pushing the cart and carrying goods, like escorting goods. Their goods were a very strange metal box. When they were transporting, they were wearing gloves, very careful and not letting people get close to them. Then, at night, Hattori Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi Kazumi

"So, it is very likely that the one who lives in the big car shop is their bait?"

"It's not like, if it's bait, then the inside and outside attacks, Hattori Kazumi should have been severely injured. And there were other residents in the big car shop that night. They said that Hattori Kazumi was not discovered when he came in, but was only after the sneak attack was discovered. The scene was very chaotic. I went to see it, but the scene had not been repaired yet, and they did not use guns, and the traces of fighting were still there. It was this that I was sure Hattori Kazumi had also come to Shanghai." Alai explained.

"When this Hattori comes, our life will be difficult. You can find out their location immediately and check every move." Luo Yaozu ordered.

"By the way, boss, Hattori is not affiliated with the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army Military Police Command. Why did he come to Shanghai? Will he be carrying out any secret mission?"

"You mean, they didn't collide with the ghost by accident, they were actually rushing to them?"

"It doesn't look like it." Alai shook his head.

"Anyway, you have to figure out what Hattori Kazuo came to Shanghai for," Luo Yaozu ordered.

"Yes, boss."

...

Jiangwan, East Asian Botanical Research Institute.

"Hatbet, who gave you the order that you took without permission and actually ran to the French Concession to attack the Windsor Hotel?" Fujimoto Shizuka questioned Hatbet's Ichino angrily.

"Miss Shizuka, I am just accompanying you and your team to protect the safety of you and your team. As for what I do, I don't need to explain it to you."

"Random, what did General Sato say? You must obey my command in everything in Shanghai!" Fujimoto Shizuka's face was covered with frost.

"General Sato said this, but I did this to find the batch of cholera species specimens. Please understand Miss Shizuka!"

"Understand, what do I understand, what is your reason for doing this?" Fujimoto Shizuka asked sternly, "What did you say, bacteria specimens, what does this have to do with Dr. Lu?"

"The strain specimens may have nothing to do with Dr. Lu, but how many people and organizations are capable of collecting strain specimens in Shanghai?"

"Many hospitals and research institutes have this ability."

"Who will collect strain specimens of Vibrio cholerae for research this time?" Hattori continued.

"Do you want to start with hospitals and research institutes that are capable of collecting specimens?"

"Ms. Shizuka, the bacterial strain specimens collected here need to be stored and stored, and there must be a necessary container. Therefore, as long as you investigate who purchased the bacterial strain collection equipment and boxes on a large scale in recent times, you can naturally find out who was collecting the bacterial strain specimens behind it." Hattori Kazuna said.

"Have you found it?"

"No, but I found another clue." Hattori Kazuno said.

"What clue?"

"Meng'an Company under Lu Xiyan's name is spending a lot of money to purchase some research equipment, many of which involve strain cultivation."

"Why don't you report such an important clue immediately?" Fujimoto Shizuka asked.

"I want to confirm the authenticity of this news, so I want to find out about Dr. Lu." Hattori Kazuno explained.

"Do you go to kidnap people or kill people? Do you know that this is not Manchukuo? How much trouble will your actions in the French Concession bring to the empire?"

"I didn't expect that the hotel's security was so strict that there was no way, so I could only attack. I didn't expect that he was not in the hotel that night, so the action failed." Hattori Kazuo said, "This is my command error, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Make your own decision, Hattori, I hope you can understand that Shanghai is not Manchuria. Manchuria can arrest and interrogate people without any scruples, but it cannot be here. Do you understand?" Fujimoto Shizuka said sternly.

"Aren't you just worried that the French would protest? What's the matter? Could it be that the French would go to war with our great Japanese Empire for a Chinese?" Hattori Kazuna said with a cold and disdainful look on his face.

"Hatbet, if you act so privately and act recklessly, I will ask General Tsukada to order you to be transferred back to Manchuria. At that time, the military headquarters will give you any assessments, and you can think clearly about it yourself."

"Miss Shizuka, I promise there will be no second time." Ichino Hatto bowed his head and said. If he was driven back, it would be a great shame. The military evaluation was even more related to the reputation of the Hattobe family. He regarded honor as life.

"Go out, because your reckless actions have brought some negative impacts to our work in Shanghai. If the secrets of the institute are exposed, you can apologize." Fujimoto Shizuka waved her hand and ordered.

"Hayi." Hattori Kazuno walked out with a squinting face.

Lu Xiyan started the fire of "no smoking" in the French Concession. Now he let Hattori get into a thrust, stirring the water so much that it was overwhelming. Everyone was speculating on each other, and the situation became increasingly difficult to control.

This is not in the interest of the empire.

She is not a soldier warrior like Kazuno Hatto who only knows how to fight and kill. Some things must be based on the actual interests of the empire and obey the current strategy toward China.

...

During lunch, Meng Fanxing came back. Not only did she come back, she also brought Wu Jinyun and Cheng Cheng back together.

Everyone has come, so they have lunch together.

Lu Xiyan rarely eats lunch at home, and today it is rare. He Xiaofen cooks a lot of dishes, especially the braised pork stew, which is fragrant and rotten. When you take a bite, your mouth is full of oil and melts in your mouth.

After dinner, Meng Fanxing instructed Cheng Cheng to send Wu Jinyun back to rest.

"Xiyan, I have a general understanding of Jinyun's situation. The Wu family and the Yan family are both famous local families. Wu Jinyun's father and Yan Tong, the current head of the Yan family, are in the same year. The two families have been in contact for decades. Yan Tong's son Yan Chaoxu is five years older than Jinyun. Although I have never seen him, Jinyun said he is still good and studied in Japan and has just returned this year." Meng Fanxing said.

"What did you learn when studying in Japan?"

"I heard that I studied art."

"Art?" Lu Xiyan nodded. Art is fine, that is the painter, but the painter is better. If it is anything else, it would be hard to say.

"Have Jinyun met this Yan Chaoxu?"

"I met once. When she first returned home, the Yan family came to visit and met once." Meng Fanxing said, "But Jin Yun said that although she knew Yan Chaoxu since she was a child, she never thought of marrying him, and he didn't like Yan Chaoxu's style."

"Play?"

"I just learned the way to nod and bow to the Japanese. Moreover, in his words, Yan Chaoxu highly praised Japan." Meng Fanxing said, "This is what Jin Yun dislikes the most, so he naturally doesn't want to get engaged to such a person."

"Jinyun has witnessed many evil deeds of Japanese soldiers and hates the Japanese very much. Yan Chaoxu is afraid that he doesn't understand this. However, he has been studying in Japan for a long time and is affected. It is normal. If he can change it, it would be nothing." Lu Xiyan said, "But this emotional matter can't be done. This first impression is bad. If you want to turn it around, it will be very difficult."

"Yes, but the two families have already changed their birthdays and the marriage has been decided long ago. Originally, Jinyun's parents were not in a hurry, and they didn't know who they were, so they delivered a newspaper to the Wu family. When Jinyun's father saw the contents in the newspaper, he was furious and called Jinyun to the front and asked harshly. Jinyun told the truth about the beaten man in the hospital. Although Jinyun's father heard this, he was not completely relieved. Therefore, he decided to let Jinyun and Yan Chaoxu settle the marriage immediately. Only in this way can he completely believe that Jinyun has nothing to do with you. Of course, Jinyun didn't want to, so he was locked up. Jinyun's mother felt sorry for her daughter and quietly released her. Then, she quietly left home and bought a boat ticket to return to Shanghai." Meng Fanxing roughly said the process.

Lu Xiyan pondered for a moment: "What do Jinyun thinks about this?"

"Jinyun originally saw that her parents were old and couldn't bear to leave. She wanted to stay and take care of the two old men, but after such a fuss, she couldn't stay anymore. She ran back to Shanghai just to go abroad, but she still couldn't let go of her parents and felt a little conflicted." Meng Fanxing said.

"Jinyun is filial to this child, this is human nature." Lu Xiyan nodded, "Meimei, you have taken this matter down, how can you solve it?"

"I think so, escaping is not a way. If Jin Yun leaves in private, it is not good. It would be better to sit down and talk and find a compromise." Meng Fanxing said.

"How can this be compromised?"

"What do you think if you have a conditional engagement?"

"What you mean is to let Jinyun get engaged to Yan Chaoxu, but Jinyun's parents and Yan's family must agree to Jinyun study in the United States, right?"

"Yes, Jinyun will have to study abroad for at least three years. If Yan Chaoxu can really wait for Jinyun for three years, then three years later, Jinyun will come back from studying and marry him."

"Meimei, your move is to wait for change. What if Yan Chaoxu really waits for Jinyun for three years, would he really let Jinyun marry someone she doesn't like?"

"Jinyun has arrived in the United States, as long as she doesn't want to come back, she just won't come back." Meng Fanxing said.

"Isn't this a breach of contract?" Lu Xiyan said, "Besides, this is also unfair to Yan Chaoxu. How do you calculate the three years of youth?"

"This..." Meng Fanxing was speechless.

"I have a way, which can be the best of both worlds." Lu Xiyan said.

"you say."

"This wedding photo is set, but we have another requirement, that is, let Yan Chaoxu go to the United States together. I think the Yan family will not refuse this. When we arrive in the United States, there is no interference from both parents. If Yan Chaoxu is really a good person and can take care of Jinyun, then we can achieve a happy marriage. But if Yan Chaoxu is not able to make it, then Jinyun can recognize this person. At that time, we will terminate the engagement and go our separate ways." Lu Xiyan said.

"This is a solution, are you afraid that Jin Yun won't accept it?"

"This is what you, the teacher's wife, have to say. What I said is not appropriate." Lu Xiyan smiled.
