The Pretender's Taoyaoyi Building

City Hall.

Minglou sat sideways behind the desk, his head hurting again, and he covered his eyes with his hands, as if he was taking a short rest.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Secretary Liu came in and stood a little far away, "Mr. Ming, Mr. Yoshimasa Fujita from the Special Higher Class has arrived."

Ming Lou put down his hands: what should come will always come. "Understood, invite him to the reception room and make some tea. I'll come right away."

"Yes." Secretary Liu left immediately.

Minglou looked at the new family portrait that he put on the table with his own hands, Mingtai smiled so happily, and the elder sister smiled so happily holding Mingrui, Taoyao leaned her head slightly towards him, these were the most important things to him The family... get up.

……

When Ming Lou came to the reception room, he found that Tao Yao had also come.

Tao Yao turned her head and saw him, and stepped forward quickly, "Do you know or don't you know?" She questioned her head and face, with a very angry look on her face.

"What?" Minglou didn't expect Yoshimasa Fujita to even bring Taoyao, he thought she would be monitored in the extra-high school.

"Mingtai!" Tao Yao called out, "He is a military commander, a poisonous scorpion, tell me, do you know or not!? Tell me." She grabbed his clothes with both hands.

"Taoyao, don't get excited, you can't be excited." Minglou held her hands, "Taoyao, what kind of poisonous scorpion? What kind of military command, how could Mingtai be..."

"Wang Manchun has already caught him, why didn't she tell you?" Taoyao shook off his hand, "I'm not excited, how can I not be excited, there are anti-Japanese elements in the family, how close he and Mingrui are, We were not prepared at all, how could I not be excited..." As he spoke, his hands pressed down on his abdomen, showing a look of pain.

"Taoyao, Michiko, what's wrong with you?" Ming Lou supported her, "Don't scare me, come, come quickly."

Secretary Liu came quickly, "Mr. Ming."

"Send my wife to my office and let her have a good rest." Minglou handed Taoyao to her, "You pour her a cup of hot water, no tea, she can't drink tea."

Gao Mu glanced at Secretary Liu, and said to Minglou, "Director Takeda is not in good health, so please ask your secretary to stay by her side all the time."

Minglou thought about it for a while, "That's fine, Secretary Liu, just watch over her. If there's anything wrong with her, send her to the hospital right away. I'll go see her after I talk to Mr. Fujita, please."

Secretary Liu supported Taoyao, "Don't worry, I will definitely stay by Madam's side and never leave."

Minglou watched Secretary Liu help Taoyao disappear before turning around.

Takagi looked at him, "Please, Chief Fujita has been waiting for you inside for some time."

"Okay." Minglou tidied up his clothes, Takagi asked the door to be opened, and Minglou entered.

……

The reception room.

Minglou pretended to be extremely surprised, and confirmed to Fujita Yoshimasa the news he heard from Taoyao.

"He's just an adopted child of the Ming family, not my own brother." Then he eagerly distanced himself from the relationship with Yoshimasa Fujita, "It's beyond my expectation that something like this happened, you can try it as you want, don't worry about it." I."

Fujita Yoshimasa has been drinking tea leisurely, and when Minglou's voice fell, he glanced sideways, his eyes full of suspicion, "Does it include torture?"

Minglou's eyes moved hesitantly, as if he was making up his mind, "As I said, you can try as you want."

"You really deserve to be engaged in intelligence work." Fujita Yoshimasa put the lid on the teacup, and put down the teacup, "As soon as something happened to your younger brother, you are so eager to separate the relationship, it is really heartless."

"Because I have a son, and my wife is pregnant with another child." Minglou was agitated, but then felt quite helpless, "I need to think about them, don't I? Besides, even if the family love is absolutely lost, the responsibility may not be escaped." After all, he has lived in the Ming family for more than ten years, even if I want to get rid of it, can I get rid of it? Now Michiko is involved... Mr. Fujita has nothing but ask, I will know everything."

"Well, it's easy to talk to a smart person like Ming-kun." Fujita Yoshimasa still called him Ming-jun, "I'm just making a routine inquiry now, please don't be too nervous."

"Do I look nervous?" Ming Lou made a nervous and restrained look.

Fujita Yoshimasa nodded: This is the first time he saw this man lose his composure. This man's defense is about to be overwhelmed. He smiled and opened the folder, "Did you arrange Mingtai's return to Shanghai?"

"No." Minglou immediately denied, "He came back by himself, saying that the school was on winter vacation." Putting his hands on his knees, he stroked them.

"Did you know he was coming back in advance?" Fujita Yoshimasa continued to ask.

"I didn't know beforehand." Ming Lou shook his head, suddenly stunned, helpless, "Now that I think about it, I think he was sent by someone."

Fujita Yoshimasa presses step by step, "Who will he accept the dispatch?" He wants to find a loophole in the discourse of Minglou whose defense line has collapsed.

"It's nothing more than Chongqing's intelligence department." Minglou couldn't help but increase his voice a little, and then his voice weakened because he couldn't avoid suspicion. "Who is it, you should ask him."

Fujita Yoshimasa is satisfied with his embarrassing expression now, "Has he lived at home since he returned to Shanghai?"

"No, he often goes out." Ming Lou seemed to be telling the truth, "Since he has his own factory, he doesn't live at home very much."

Fujita Yoshimasa didn't hear any flaws, and turned the page, "As far as I know, you gave him this factory some time ago."

"Yes, because of this, Michiko and I are still a little unhappy." Minglou nodded, "But after he was dropped out of Hong Kong University, he was arguing to start a business, so I have no choice but to give him the factory under my name."

"The factory manager seems to be an excellent cover for the outside world or for the family." Fujita Yoshimasa closed the document and put it on the table. "Even the concealment point can be solved at once."

"What exactly does Mr. Fujita want to say?" Minglou asked bluntly.

Fujita Yoshimasa was also unceremonious, "As the deputy director of the Secret Service Committee, your younger brother is by your side. As a poisonous scorpion, you have created so many cases and stolen so much information, but now you say that you are from beginning to end. In the end, I didn’t even realize it. Even if I believe this, will the chief of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs believe it? And your father-in-law, General Takeda Hongichi, what do you think he will think?”

"I……"

Yoshimasa Fujita raised his hand to stop him from explaining, "Don't rush to answer, it's better to answer me after thinking clearly; as long as you are willing to tell the truth, I can assure you that the Super High School will use all its strength to cover up this scandal, and guarantee that Michiko and your family are safe, and then you can leave the new government with dignity, which is good for everyone."

Minglou nodded again and again, and said in a low voice, "When something like this happens, whether I know it or not, I must bear the responsibility, but this matter has nothing to do with Michiko, I hope you can trust her; and I, I am about to go up Feng asked for instructions to resign from all positions in the new government and cooperate with your investigation."

Regarding Minglou's cooperative attitude, Fujita Yoshimasa did not reduce his doubts, "Mingjun can have such an attitude, I believe Takeda-kun will be very satisfied."

Minglou raised his head, "However, in addition to being the deputy director of the Special Committee, I also serve as the financial advisor of the Economic Department." He also presented the facts to Yoshimasa Fujita, "Once I resign, the new government may not be able to find a new one in a short time. Those who succeed me will inevitably affect the economic reform plans led by me. The more serious consequence is that Shanghai's economy, which has just shown signs of recovery, will be hit hard, or even completely collapsed; I can leave now In addition, it is not impossible to go to Tianjin with Michiko, or to take the family to settle abroad, Michiko likes Germany very much."

"What do you want to say? Is it a threat?" Fujita Yoshimasa felt the pressure from this man again.

"I'm just explaining the facts." Minglou replied very quickly, "Shanghai's overall situation should be stable. I think Chairman Wang, Mr. Zhou and the Japanese side are unwilling to see the result of economic chaos."

……

The Ming family at this time.

Mingjing returned home, "Mingtai, Mingrui." As soon as she got home, she called her two little ones she cared about the most.

"Auntie!" Ming Rui heard her voice and ran out.

Ming Jing hugged him, "Oh, we, Mingrui, miss Auntie so much." He kissed him, "Where's your little uncle?"

"Not at home." Mingrui also kissed her, "It's been a few days since I saw him, and he promised to study for me." His cheeks puffed up, dissatisfied with his uncle's bad behavior of lying to him again.

"Aren't you at home? Why aren't you at home? What about your parents?" Ming Jing hugged her sweetheart.

"Go to work!" Ming Rui put his arms around her, "Dad didn't come back last night, and Mom slept with me."

"Is your mother okay?" Ming Jing didn't even take off his coat.

Mingrui shook his head, and whispered in Mingjing's ear, "No, mom's eyes were red last night."

"Why?" Ming Jing felt strange: Tao Yao is not a crybaby.

Mingrui shook his head again, "I don't know." He didn't dare to ask.

Hu Ma and Axiu came out at this moment, and Axiu stepped forward to hug Mingrui.

Ming Jing unbuttoned his coat, "Mother Hu, nothing happened at home, where is Mingtai?"

Axiu looked at Mama Hu.

Mama Hu lowered her head.

"What's wrong?" Ming Jing was puzzled, "Taoyao is crying, could it be that she and Minglou are unhappy? Or is there something else between Minglou and that crazy woman..."

"Mingtai is at No. 76, he is the Juntong poisonous scorpion!" Mo Lin walked in and told Mingjing directly, "Now it is in Wang Manchun's hands!"

"Ah—" Ming Jing was shocked and took two steps back.

……

Municipal hall.

"...I promise, I will communicate with Mr. Fujita at any time in the future, and I can even accept the double surveillance of the Super High School and the Mei Agency. I wonder if Mr. Fujita agrees with this plan?" Minglou put on a low profile again, as if he didn't want to lose current position.

Yoshimasa Fujita can't really ask him what to do immediately. First, he is indeed the master of Shanghai's economy. Second, the matter has not yet been resolved. If he is forced to resign rashly, if it really has nothing to do with him, Takeda Hongichi himself It's not easy to explain "for the time being, we can do this first, but..."

Tick ​​ring.

The phone rang, interrupting their conversation.

"Sorry, I have a call." Minglou could only get up.

Pick up the phone "Hello..."

"Mingtai was taken away by Wang Manchun, do you know?" Mingjing asked him angrily, "What do you mean by anti-Japanese activities? What's going on?"

Her voice was so loud that even Fujita Yoshimasa heard it.

"Can you see him now?" Ming Jing asked anxiously.

Ming Lou couldn't help looking at Yoshimasa Fujita, and then he didn't understand why the elder sister made this call, pretending to be nervous, "Elder sister, I just heard about it, and I'm investigating, you wait for my news, stay at home, don't go anywhere! Immediately, Der Spiegel was not given a chance to speak, he cut off the phone, and told the switchboard that he was talking about something very important, and he did not want anyone to disturb him.

Naturally, Yoshimasa Fujita would not miss this opportunity to ask, "Why did you hang up the phone? Shouldn't you explain it to your sister?"

"My elder sister has always regarded Mingtai as the darling, even with Mingrui. Now that I know about this, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear such a blow for a while." If the explanation is not clear, let me or Michiko go home to appease her."

"Are you afraid that the explanation will not be clear, or are you afraid that she will say something that should not be said in a hurry?" Fujita Yoshimasa was indeed a veteran spy, and he hit the key point in one sentence.

Minglou raised his eyes.
