[Pretender] The Rise of Doujin

afternoon, flower shop

Minge showed Liu Dali the photo of Katsuhei Yamaguchi, and said, "Go to bars, dance halls and other famous entertainment venues as soon as possible to find this person, and come back and report the location to me!"

Liu Dali: "Yes!"

In the evening, Liu Dali came back in a hurry and saw Minge putting on makeup on the dressing table. "Leader, I found it! He's in Paramount!"

"Very good!" Minge stroked his eyebrows lightly.

She didn't put on heavy makeup, and she didn't sway her head when she walked. This time, she was just herself, a pure white snow fox.

Paramount

Minge was wearing a dark red patterned cheongsam, and walked in gently. There were many people, but she quickly found her target.Years of experience made her look around, and as expected, she found two suspicious people. She judged that they should be the people brought by Katsuhira Yamaguchi to protect him.

Kappei Yamaguchi sat at the bar with a glass of champagne in his hand.Minger sat down on the chair next to him calmly, and said to the bartender, "Give me a bottle of Grenadierrhum (Grenada rum)!"

"Good lady!"

The standard French made Yamaguchi Kappei turn his head to look at Minge, and said in fluent Chinese with a smile: "Miss, is this the first time you drink this bar? This wine is very strong. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it after drinking it." of!"

Minger remained elegant, and said with a smile: "Sir, like tea, wine is for drinking, but it can't be drunk as water. Just like now, I want a bottle, but I don't necessarily want to drink a bottle!"

"That's right! Wine is for tasting! But this wine is expensive. How about I treat you?"

"Sir, if you want to spend money, invite me to a stranger for wine tasting?"

"Hey! You can't say that, it's fate to meet you! Besides, it's my honor to invite a beautiful girl who knows wine to drink with me!"

"Thank you sir! It's just a bottle of wine, I can still afford it! But..."

"But what?"

"Is this your first time in Shanghai, sir?"

Kappei Yamaguchi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "How do you know?"

"Paramount is a famous dance hall in Shanghai. The wine here is also one of the best, and all of them are expensive! Those who can come in are not famous ladies, rich or young, or rich officials! So next time, sir, I will invite people to drink When you are here, don’t use the excuse of being expensive! Because no one who can come here is a pauper!”

After hearing these words, Kappei Yamaguchi was not angry, but said appreciatively: "I'm sorry, miss, I made a slip of the tongue just now! But before I came to Shanghai, I heard that Shanghai's economic chain collapsed, so I underestimated it. The economic development of Shanghai! But when I came to this city, I found that it is more prosperous than I imagined!"

At this time, the singer is singing on stage: Night Shanghai ~ Night Shanghai ~ You are a city that never sleeps ~ The lights are on ~ The sound of cars ~ Singing and dancing make peace ~

Minge said leisurely: "Do you know why Shanghai Beach is called the city that never sleeps?"

Kappei Yamaguchi thought for a while and said, "Is it because people in Shanghai don't like to sleep?"

Minger laughed and shook his head.

Kappei Yamaguchi came out of curiosity. "Then please give me your advice, miss!"

Minger stood up, and pretended to hold Yamaguchi Kappei's hand inadvertently. "follow me!"

At a place Minger didn't see, Kappei Yamaguchi signaled that the two subordinates not far away were fine and didn't need to follow.

Minger took Kappei Yamaguchi to the rooftop of Paramount, where he could clearly see the whole of Shanghai Bund.

Yamaguchi Kappei sighed. "Wow!"

Minger said with a smile: "at night in Shanghai, the neon lights will illuminate the city red and bright all night. Therefore, Shanghai is called "the city that never sleeps". The night in Shanghai is sleepless, and the night in Shanghai is attractive. Next, there are thousands of styles of Shanghai flashing! It’s not because people here don’t like to sleep!”

"I'm taught!"

"You said that Shanghai's economy collapsed, it was a long time ago! Ever since the eldest son of the Ming family, Ming Lou became the Chief Economic Advisor of the Finance Department, Shanghai's finance and economy have recovered!"

"Minglou? I've heard of him! He's a very intelligent person!"

Minge said proudly, "He's my big brother!"

"Really?"

"Why should I lie to you? But, it's not uncommon for my eldest brother to be smart! These days, if the official is a fool, the common people will suffer!"

Hahaha... Yamaguchi Kappei laughed. "Miss Ming's outspokenness made Yamaguchi admire her!"

Minger frowned slightly on purpose. "Yamaguchi? Japanese last name? Are you Japanese?"

"Uh..." Yamaguchi Kappei smiled awkwardly.

"It's true that my elder brother is working for the new government! But our Ming family has strict upbringing and doesn't allow me to be alone with strangers, let alone a Japanese! Farewell!"

Kappei Yamaguchi grabbed Mingo's wrist suddenly. "Miss, wait! I don't know Miss's name yet?"

"Minglou only has one younger sister! Mister, go find it yourself!"

Kappei Yamaguchi looked at Minge's leaving back, smiled, and thought, "This girl has quite a personality."

Minge left in a hurry on purpose, hooking the corners of her lips, she knew that Shankou would definitely take the bait.

Sure enough, when Shankou returned to Paramount, he ordered his two subordinates to search for information about the Ming family, about Minglou, and especially about Minglou's younger sister.

The next day, all major newspapers and newspapers in Shanghai were saying: Japanese major general Kappei Yamaguchi came to Shanghai to serve as the deputy director of the special high school.

Ming Mansion

After Minge came home, he saw his eldest sister reading a newspaper on the sofa.

Minge called softly: "Eldest sister..."

Mirror looked up. "I'm back, have you eaten yet?"

"Ate."

Ming Jing let out a long sigh. "This big family, you are the only one who can save me some trouble!"

Minglou and Ah Cheng went downstairs at this time, Minglou sat on the sofa next to Mingjing, and said, "Elder sister, I talked to Mingtai, he just got bored in reading and loves his family, he said that he was homesick at HKU He thinks so much, especially his eldest sister, so he always wants to come back. But every time I tell you, you push me back, and he is also full of grievances."

Minge secretly smiled, the elder brother's black and white face sings really well!

Ming Jing seemed to be softened, and said, "Really?"

Minglou immediately said: "That's not true! He said that even when he went out to reunite with his classmates, he was not happy at all. At school, he was often bullied. Tell the eldest sister, he also said, someone called him a coward, called him a subjugated slave, he was so angry that he couldn’t eat, he couldn’t sleep, he didn’t dare to tell us about these things.”

Der Spiegel put down the newspaper. "This child, can't you tell these things to outsiders, and you can't tell your own family?"

Minger picked up Der Spiegel's newspaper, saw Kappei Yamaguchi's photo, and murmured: Deputy Head of Special Advanced Course...

Minglou continued to explain: "Isn't he afraid that you will be angry? He said that he is not motivated and ignorant! Now it's all right, I will tell you everything after being beaten. I was sad all night last night, and I didn't give him food. , I think he has a little fever!"

When Ming Jing heard it, he immediately said angrily: "I asked you to discipline him, who told you to beat him so hard? Boo, you still haven't given him food, where did you learn it? You fascist!"

Minglou widened his eyes. "Didn't you tell me not to show mercy?"

Ming Jing immediately stood up. "Then I didn't let you beat him up! I knew you didn't think it was serious! Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang! Bring me the phone!"

The elder sister ran upstairs as she said that.

Ming Lou shouted: "Elder Sister, Eldest Sister, don't worry, I've already invited Dr. Su!"

"Oh! Call Dr. Su again and tell her to come quickly! Mingtai! Mingtai! Why are you sick when you are fine?"

Ah Cheng chuckled, and Ming Lou said helplessly, "Did you see it, it's splint gas!"

Minge sneered, "What did I say? I told you not to be so cruel, big sister feels distressed!"

Ming Lou looked back at Ming Ge and asked, "When did you come back?"

Minge handed the Minglou newspaper and said, "I just came back! You should read today's newspaper!"

Minglou murmured, "Katsuhei Yamaguchi is the deputy director of the special advanced course..."

Minger: "Why is it the deputy head? Not the head?"

Ming Lou: "As soon as Yoko Nantian died, the Japanese immediately sent an old-fashioned agent to take charge of the special high-level class, called Fujita Yoshimasa! Now there is another deputy head of the class, presumably also here to investigate the cause of Nantian's death?"

Ah Cheng said at this moment: "I don't think so!"

Minglou and Minge looked at Ah Cheng.

Ah Cheng continued: "As far as I know, the Yamaguchi and Fujita families have always been at odds. This arrangement should be deliberately restrained by the Japanese military."

Minger: "But what is the purpose of restraining?"

Minglou squinted his eyes: "There will be results only if there is competition! I think they sent a young general with illustrious military exploits because they are afraid that Yoshimasa Fujita will become the next Yoko Nanda!"

Minge and Ah Cheng nodded.

Minglou: "Ah Cheng, go get the car ready first!"

Ah Cheng: "Yes!"

After Ah Cheng left, Minglou asked, "Little sister, the poisonous bee is about to return to Shanghai! Do you... know about this?"

Minge shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know!"

Minglou: "Really don't know?"

Minger: "I really don't know!"

Minglou: "Okay! Brother believes in you!"

After Ming Lou and Ah Cheng left, Ming Ge immediately set off to the second floor.

But when Minger entered the second floor, he found that the room was empty, as if everything that happened before had never existed.

Minger ran to the second floor, but there was no trace on the second floor. The traces of Wang Tianfeng's existence seemed to have disappeared in the sun.

Minge felt at a loss for a moment, and even began to wonder if the series of things that happened with him some time ago were just a dream?

Maybe it was God's will, when Minger went downstairs, Minger happened to see the note stuck in the crack of the piano.Minger happily ran over, picked up the note and read it: "During this time, thank you for taking care of me. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first, but I think we will see each other again."

Minger suddenly smiled. At least, this note proved that everything happened for real.She and him used to spend a period of time in a plain and pleasant way...

Afternoon, Minglou bedroom

After Minge went in, he saw Brother Ah Cheng inside, and greeted him. "Brother Ah Cheng! Brother, are you looking for me?"

Minglou: "Little sister, it's time to plot against Mingtai!"

Minge was surprised: "Instigate rebellion against Mingtai?"

Ming Lou: "Fujita Yoshimasa vigorously searched for traces of poisonous scorpions, and already knew about the existence of cobras, so we can't wait any longer!"

Minger: "I tried more than once to ask him to join us, but he refused all of them!"

Ming Lou: "You don't need to worry about it! We will give him a heavy blow and make him disappointed with the Nationalist Government! You just need to give him hope when he is disappointed! In addition, your group member Liu Xiaoyu and Mingtai group members Guo Qiyun, do you have close contacts?"

Minger: "Yes! They are boyfriend and girlfriend, and I intend to help them too!"

Minglou: "If necessary, let Liu Xiaoyu instigate against him!"

Minger: "Understood!"

Minglou: "You go out first!"

Minger nodded and left.Minge didn't go far away, but lay at the door and eavesdropped on the conversation between the elder brother and Ah Cheng. She was really curious, why the elder brother was so anxious to plot against Mingtai?

Minglou heaved a long sigh: "When he was in France, he participated in left-wing reading clubs, and he was familiar with the party's program and propositions. He also expressed to me that he wanted to join the party's peripheral organizations. , if it wasn’t for the elder sister’s insistence that he doesn’t want to participate in politics, we should have developed him earlier, and we wouldn’t let the military command take the lead!”

Ah Cheng frowned and said: "However, his current personality is still a little flying, and his thinking has not been systematically cultivated!"

Ming Lou immediately said: "Practice is the best teacher! Operation Sakura, rescue operation and Japanese consulate operation, I am always looking for opportunities to arrange for him to contact people from the organization! Now whether it is Dong Yan, Ming Ge, or Or Cheng Jinyun, has become an irreplaceable role in his life! The seeds have already taken root in his heart, and it's time to blossom and bear fruit!"

Ah Cheng: "Is it too fast? Are you a little eager for success?"

Minglou said quickly, "I'm in a hurry! But we don't have time! Wang Tianfeng is going to Shanghai!"

Minger outside the door frowned slightly.

Ah Cheng in the room widened his eyes and said, "You mean?"

Minglou: "That's right! You know what this means to Mingtai, so only by letting him join the party organization can we save his life!"

Minge was startled when he heard this, and hurried back to the room, thinking, "Help? Save Mingtai's life? Why would Mingtai die when Wang Tianfeng returns to Shanghai?"

Minger shook his head vigorously, unwilling to think about it.Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car coming from the yard.Minge didn't care. After a while, Ah Xiang came up and said in a stuttering voice, "Deputy...Deputy..."

"Whose father is here?"

"It's not my father! It's the deputy head of the special high school!"

"what?"

Minger hurriedly opened the door to check, and saw that Minglou, Mingjing, Ah Cheng, and Aunt Gui were all downstairs, Mingjing seemed to be dealing with Yamaguchi Kappei for something.

Mingtai also came out to watch the excitement, walked up to Minge, and said, "Okay, you! You made the Japanese fall in love with you?"

Minge glared at Mingtai, then went downstairs with Axiang.

Ming Jing smiled and said: "Mr. Yamaguchi! I think you must have misunderstood something! My little sister is usually the most sensible, so there shouldn't be anything to offend you, right?"

Minglou continued: "If there is something that offends Mr. Yamaguchi, I would also like to ask you Haihan! My little sister is young and ignorant!"

Yamaguchi ignored the two, saw Minger going downstairs, smiled and waved to say hello: "Miss Ming!"

Minge smiled and was about to step forward, but Ming Jing pulled her behind.

Yamaguchi Kappei smiled awkwardly, and then ordered a Japanese soldier behind him, saying in Japanese: "Bring me the flowers I prepared for Miss Ming!"

The Japanese soldier bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes!"

Kappei Yamaguchi smiled and said, "I think you two have misunderstood! Miss Ming didn't offend me in any way! I came here this time to sincerely invite Miss Ming to have a meal together!"

Mingjing and Minglou glanced at each other.

The Japanese soldier came in with a bouquet of roses, and Katsuhira Yamaguchi took the roses and handed them to Minger.

Minger stepped over the mirror, smiled slightly, and stepped forward to take it. "Mr. Yamaguchi personally invited Minger to be honored. It would be too rude to refuse!"

Kappei Yamaguchi stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Please!"

Just as Ming Ge was about to grab Yamaguchi's hand, Ming Jing shouted angrily: "Ming Ge!"

"Eldest sister!" Ming Lou grabbed Ming Jing suddenly.

Kappei Yamaguchi was a little unhappy, and turned around and said, "Chairman Ming, but do you have any objections?"

Minger immediately said: "How could it be? My sister is just worried about me!" Then he took Kappei Yamaguchi's hand, and the two left with a smile.

Ming Jing was so angry that he went back to the house, and Minge looked back at Minglou sadly.

in the car

Kappei Yamaguchi and Ming were sitting in the back, and Kappei Yamaguchi asked, "What would Miss Ming want to eat?"

Minger chuckled, "Mr. Yamaguchi, I should ask you this question? You are new here, what kind of food do you want to eat?"

"Hahaha! It's up to the master, Miss Ming, let's make up your mind!"

"Okay! I won't be polite to you! Go to No. 27, Efield Road. There is a French restaurant there, which is the most expensive place to eat in Shanghai. Mr. Yamaguchi, don't be afraid of losing your money?"

"Why? You heard me, go to No. 27, Efield Road!" Kappei Yamaguchi ordered the driver in front of him.

Driver: "Yes!"

Western Restaurant

Kappei Yamaguchi and Mingo sat opposite each other.

Minger: "Waiter! Order!"

The waiter came over with two menus and handed them to Kappei Yamaguchi and Minge respectively.

Kappei Yamaguchi closed the menu and said with a smile: "Don't look at it! Bring the best dishes and wine here!"

Waiter: "Yes sir!"

Minge raised the corners of his lips and said, "Mr. Yamaguchi is really generous! I like to eat with people like you!"

"Ms. Ming's tutoring is really strict. It took me a lot of effort to treat you to a meal! Tell me, I'm not here to treat you to a grand banquet. Your sister and brother are so afraid of what to do!"

Minge's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Do you still know about the Hongmen Banquet?"

Yamaguchi proudly said: "Did you underestimate me? I still have a lot of research on Chinese history and culture! China, with its vast land and rich resources, is like a huge treasury, which makes people yearn for..."

Minger kept smiling, she heard ambition in Yamaguchi Kappei's voice, terrible ambition!

Yamaguchi: "Miss Ming!"

Minge immediately said: "You don't need to be so extravagant, since you invite me to dinner, it means you treat me as a friend, since you are a friend, just call me Minge!"

Yamaguchi nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay! Friend! Then Miss Ming...ah, I'm sorry... Minge, you can also call me Shankou directly!"

Minge smiled and said, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Kappei Yamaguchi asked tentatively: "Minger, what kind of industries are your families engaged in?"

Minger smiled slightly. "Are you inquiring?"

"It's just curiosity! I read the newspapers, Ming's enterprise is huge!"

"Since the Qing Dynasty, our Ming family has been doing business in Suzhou, and it has become better and better, until my father's generation divided the family, and our family came to Shanghai from Suzhou. If you want to talk about what kind of business you are in... Heh! Too There are so many, I can’t count them! Like perfume, silk, flour, rice, mines, etc., there is almost no place that our Ming family can’t set foot in!”

"But you don't have the squeamishness of Miss Qianjin at all. On the contrary, you are a little..."

"Something?"

"Frank!"

"Thank you for the compliment..."

Several waiters came with food and wine. "Sir, miss, the meal you two ordered! Please eat slowly!"

Minger poured Yamaguchi Kappei a glass of wine, and poured himself a glass.

Yamaguchi: "Thank you!" Yamaguchi raised his glass and said with a smile, "Cheers to our friendship!"

Minge smiled and raised his wine glass, his red lips parted slightly: "For our fate, cheers!"

In the evening, Minge and Yamaguchi Kappei still chatted passionately.

Minger: "It's getting late, I should go home!"

Yamaguchi: "I'll see you off!"

Minger: "No need! I can just walk back! Just to get rid of the alcohol! If you take the car, I will feel nauseous!"

Yamaguchi: "Then I'll walk back with you! You're a girl, it's not safe to go home alone!"

"It's really unnecessary! I grew up in Shanghai, and I'm familiar with every street in Shanghai!"

"Okay then! You go home alone, be careful!"

"Do not worry!"

When Minger left the restaurant, Kappei Yamaguchi signaled his subordinates to follow secretly.

After walking about a hundred steps, Minger realized that there were people following him, so he shook them off and came to a deserted path.

Minge was about to go home, but Liu Dali took Liu Xiaoyu and ran to her.

Liu Xiaoyu panted and said: "Team leader! Team leader! Something happened!"

"Don't worry, speak slowly!"

Liu Xiaoyu: "Originally, I had a date with Guo Qiyun, and the appointment was good. Suddenly, he told me that he had a task to complete, so I had to let him go. But at night, I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I secretly I followed and saw him go to the pier. Yu Manli was waiting for him there. The two of them were in a warehouse, counting the strategic materials of their military command, but they were not strategic materials at all, and their military command was smuggling! But at this time, they The team leader is here, and it seems that he doesn't know about this, so I will quickly ask my brother to drag me to find you!"

Minge: "Brother told me that to disappoint him is to let him witness the smuggling of the military command! Dali, how far is it from the pier?"

Liu Dali: "Not far! I'll be there in a while!"

Minger: "Pull me there!"

Liu Xiaoyu: "I'll go too!"

Ming Ge and Liu Xiaoyu got into the rickshaw immediately.In the car, Minge quickly asked: "Liu Xiaoyu, I ask you as your superior, do you really like Guo Qiyun?"

Liu Xiaoyu: "I really like it! Guo Qiyun is honest, honest, and kind to me, but there is one thing that is not good. He is stubborn and admits death!"

"That's good! If possible, you should try your best to instigate him! After all, your identities will be a huge stumbling block in your relationship!"

"understand!"

Liu Dali: "Team leader! We're here!"

When Mingge and Liu Xiaoyu got out of the car, they saw Mingtai pointing at Guo Qiyun, while Yu Manli was kneeling on the ground with moist eyes.

Mingtai shouted: "I will deal with you now as your superior!"

Yu Manli: "Team leader!"

Liu Xiaoyu hurried over to protect Guo Qiyun behind him. "Leader Ming! Calm down!"

Guo Qiyun: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

Liu Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to his words, but stared straight at Mingtai.

Minge walked to the door of the warehouse lightly, and said: "Mingtai, I am not from your military commander, and I have no right to interfere in your military commander's affairs, but the person you pointed your gun at is the boyfriend of my team member, you Calm down……"

Mingtai kept staring at Guo Qiyun behind Liu Xiaoyu.

Guo Qiyun: "Team leader, the new government opened up this supply and demand channel for the old regime. The two sides exchanged supplies in short supply, sacrificed their own men, smuggled arms and medicines, and sold economic intelligence to each other in exchange for the best interests of both parties. The upper level is not a secret at all! Because no one can do anything to them! Team leader, I advise you, don't be impulsive!"

After a long time, no one spoke, Mingtai slowly put down the gun, and said sternly, "I'll go to Station Master Ning!"

Yu Manli got up and grabbed Mingtai's arm. "Mingtai, don't go, I don't want you to die!"

Mingtai pushed Yu Manli away and shouted, "Let me go!"

Guo Qiyun shouted: "It's useless to find him!"

Mingtai stopped, his eyes were red.

Guo Qiyun went on to say: "This smuggling operation, all the stations are involved, but everyone is tacit! The new government uses the airport, port, and wharf as shares, and the largest shareholder of the entire transaction is the upper echelon of the military. At least half of them The arms smuggling business is all handled by Station Manager Ning himself, and our operation team is just an intermediary in charge of transportation! Team leader, if you don’t join forces, you will be wiped out!"

Yu Manli said softly: "Mingtai, we didn't tell you, we wanted to protect you..."

Mingtai said word by word: "The soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles. We are here to fight to the death, but what we get is the speculative business of the Nationalist government! What are we?"

Minge looked at Mingtai's appearance, his eyes were moist, and said, "Xiaoyu! Let's go, we have nothing to do here!"

Liu Xiaoyu glanced at Guo Qiyun, and Guo Qiyun nodded.Liu Xiaoyu knew that the three of them had to be alone for a while, so she left with Minge.

As soon as Minge and Liu Xiaoyu left, Mingtai staggered out of the warehouse, followed by Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli not far away.

Liu Dali pulled the two of them. "Boss, where are we going now?"

Minge: "It's so late, let's go back to the flower shop first!"

Liu Dali: "Alright!"

Liu Xiaoyu: "Team leader, you explain that the team leader knows the truth, will you join us?"

Minge said lightly: "It should be..."

Liu Xiaoyu tilted her head and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Minger smiled. "Happy... From the perspective of a Communist Party member, Mingtai is a talent... This is a good thing for our party!"

Minge put away his smile, sighed, and said: "But, from the perspective of his family, I feel sorry for him. Tonight, he will probably get drunk again..."
