"I told him that you and I are both working for Chongqing..."

"Xiyan, why did you say that?" Meng Fanxing was shocked when he heard this.

"I know, he suspected that you were from there, but didn't you admit it?" Lu Xiyan said, "Besides, you can't explain it clearly no matter how you have disappeared in the past three years."

"Then can he believe it if you say that?"

"I don't know if you believe it or not. What's important is that we must give her an explanation, a reasonable explanation of what we are doing now." Lu Xiyan said.

"Then how should I tell him?" Meng Fanxing was silent for a while, raised his head in confusion and asked.

"Just say, you work for Chongqing. When you were in school a few years ago, you joined a peripheral organization of the Blue Clothes Club. Then you were attracted by your superiors and selected to go to Nanjing to participate in the agent training. After passing the training, you were sent to Shanghai to perform a mission. You are affiliated with a special intelligence team." Lu Xiyan had already made up an excuse for Meng Fanxing.

"This is too ridiculous. Will Xiaohao believe it?"

"What can I do? Tell him that you are from there, my brother-in-law has also joined the Military Control Commission..." Lu Xiyan said.

"Otherwise, if I tell him like this, I will say that I am from Chongqing and belong to the first department of the Second Department of the Military Order. This will have nothing to do with the Military Control Commission?" Meng Fanxing said.

"This is a saying. The question is, how did you join? Five years ago, you were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was no military command at that time."

"This is..." This statement has too many flaws and will not work.

"Let's tell him as I said. Anyway, he can't verify it. At least he can fool this level first." Lu Xiyan said.

"What about you?"

"I was influenced by you and joined the Military Control Commission like you." Lu Xiyan said.

"Can we really do it if we lie to him like this?"

"This is a lie of kindness. Do you want us to tell him the truth?" Lu Xiyan asked back.

"Okay, I'll talk to him about this later." Meng Fanxing said, "He must be asked to go to Hong Kong immediately. Mengyao's due date is coming soon. If he doesn't go with him to wait for delivery, he will fulfill his obligation to be a husband. What's the point?"

"That's what I mean. I can't tell him. You, the sister, can do it yourself." Lu Xiyan nodded, that's what he meant.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to him now." Meng Fanxing was about to get up.

"Wait a minute, when Haozi started arguing with me just now, he seemed to mention his uncle, Meimei, mother, and her brother or younger brother?" Lu Xiyan suddenly remembered and asked.

"My mother does have a younger brother who has been missing for several years. Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Meng Fanxing asked in surprise.

"When Haozi mentioned it, he said, why are you all like this? I am like this, and my uncle is like this. Yes, that's what he said." Lu Xiyan has the ability to remember everything he saw in his ears. What he heard in his ears is naturally no different from what he saw in his eyes.

"Uncle, is it because of Uncle Yaozu's return?" Meng Fanxing was surprised when he turned to this, "But if Uncle comes back, why don't he come to us?"

"Yes, since it's your uncle and Haozi, it's a family. Why didn't he come to us but secretly meet Haozi, and Haozi deliberately concealed it from us?" Lu Xiyan analyzed.

"This kid has something to hide from us!" Meng Fanxing and Lu Xiyan looked at each other and took a breath.

"Meimei, don't make any noise about this, and don't mention it to him." Lu Xiyan said, "Since he doesn't want us to know, then we just pretend not to know. My uncle hides and ignores us. He must have his ulterior motives, so let's find the person first."

"Haozi is my brother?"

"Meimei, that's my brother. Do you think I'm planning on him, but our uncle is back and hides from us, so he has contact with Haozi. Why?" Lu Xiyan asked, "But, what our uncle does before, why haven't you mentioned it?"

"Actually, I have met my uncle very few times. For only a while, he often came to his house and was very familiar with Haozi. I am a girl, so I can't run out with my uncle every day. I only know that he is a business gang outside and comes back twice a year. And my father seems to have an objection to him and never likes him so much." Meng Fanxing said, "It's because he has the best relationship with Haozi. Maybe because his nephew looks like his uncle the most. Every time Haozi goes out with his uncle, he will be beaten by his father when he comes back. Until one day, he leaves and never comes back."

"How old were you at that time?"

"I'm eleven or twelve years old, and Haozi is only seven or eight years old."

"So, he has been away for more than ten years, but has never come back?" Lu Xiyan was very surprised. If his relatives haven't met for more than ten years, unless they have a conflict, but there is no deep hatred, so there will be no contact for ten years?

"Anyway, I have never seen him since then. As for whether my parents and Haozi have ever seen each other, I don't know. Anyway, my parents have rarely mentioned him since then." Meng Fanxing said.

"What's your uncle's name?"

"Luo Yaozu."

"Luo Yaozu, your grandpa, grandma must hope that he can glorify his ancestors when he grows up." Lu Xiyan said with a smile.

"Leave this person to me to check. Don't do anything. Haozi is very vigilant. When he spoke just now, he used fraud to me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise this guy would have cheated the truth." Lu Xiyan reminded.

"I know, I just think I don't know about this." Meng Fanxing said, "Then, am I going to find him?"

"Wait a minute, take the watermelon over. It's hot, eat a piece of watermelon." Lu Xiyan picked up the whole fruit plate of watermelon and gave it to Meng Fanxing.

"OK."

...

Meng Fanxing took up his sister's majesty, and Meng Hao really went back with her obediently, which saved Lu Xiyan half of his thoughts.

"Sir, some unfamiliar faces were found around the hotel. I'm afraid something will happen tonight." Ma Xiaowu pushed the door and reported.

"Didn't Haozi bring a group of plainclothes? I'll hand them over to you, go to the gun room to get the gun, and each person is given two base bullets." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"clear."

Lu Xiyan was not worried about his safety. Ding Pengfei and the first team of the operation team were nearby. Once this side really couldn't stand it, they could come to reinforce at any time.

Now the personnel have doubled. If someone really dares to break through, it would be a death.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Tang Jin and Qi Huan drove over.

"Why, Lao Lu, you are so vigilant inside and outside. Is someone really going to attack you?" As soon as he entered the door, Tang Jin felt something was wrong. There was a solemn atmosphere in the whole hotel.

"Xiao Wu found some unknown faces near the hotel during the day. He was afraid that something would happen, so he made some arrangements to prevent problems before they happened." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Then you really have to be careful. Our Marshal Zhang was the one who dared to do anything in the past." Tang Jin nodded.

"You two are here to protect me, aren't you?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"I have nothing to do after work. I'll come to you to drink, chat, and accompany you by the way." Tang Jin smiled. He really came to accompany Lu Xiyan.

"It's okay, you said it's better to have a hot meal when you go home and spend your time with your wife and children?"

"Don't you think we are, Qi Huan, let's go."

"Don't, Brother Tang, Lao Qi, I don't mean to dislike you. I feel sorry for you. You said that if you are with me in my current situation, it will be a bad thing for you to harm you at that time." Lu Xiyan said hurriedly.

"Are we the kind of person who abandons our brothers and ignores our brothers' lives?" Tang Jin said furiously.

"That's right, Consultant Lu, you underestimate us too much." Qi Huan followed.

"Sure, I'm wrong. I'll apologize with you. That little five, go to the kitchen to give orders, and bring them a table of dishes and wine." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"Okay, sir." Ma Xiaowu responded.

"That's right." Tang Jin sat down and said, "I said Lao Lu, I'll go to the smoke ban brigade in late autumn to report. What's your subordinate named Yang Yiming who actually drove the person back?"

"Is that true? I really don't know about this." Lu Xiyan was surprised.

"Forget it, if you don't like it, then don't let her help." Tang Jin shook his hand.

"No, I'll ask, what's going on." Lu Xiyan picked up the phone and called the station of the Smoking Non-Smoking Brigade.

"Yang Yiming, what's wrong with you? Miss Xiaoqiu went to your place to report, why did you drive the person back?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Sir, I really don't know that Miss Xiaoqiu was sent by Inspector General Tang. I thought she was here to apply for the recruitment, and our ban on smoking brigade did not recruit women, so I drove the person away, and she wouldn't explain it myself..."

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask clearly in the future. By the way, how is the recruitment today?"

"There are about thousands of people who have registered, and we are screening according to the criteria you specified." Yang Yiming reported excitedly.

"so much?"

"Yes, the people are very enthusiastic about our smoking ban, so many people want to join the smoking ban brigade. Even if the quota is relaxed, they can be fully recruited."

"No, there can't be too many places. Also, I'd rather have nothing than be too bad. I must choose the best one for me." Lu Xiyan said seriously.

"clear."

"In addition, I will recruit ten people who can write and sing, regardless of gender. We ban smoking and need publicity. We need to let the public understand the harm of opium smoking. Do you understand?"

"yes."

...

"Old Lu, you really want to do something big." Tang Jin smiled and said, "I even thought of publicity work?"

"Working with men and women is not tired of working. The smoke-free brigade cannot be just a man, but also needs more colors. It's a killing of two birds with one stone."

"Old Lu, I didn't expect you to know how to lead troops."

"I'm thinking about it. If this smoke ban brigade is used well, it will be the foundation for us to settle down in the concession." Lu Xiyan said.

"Well, there are constant rumors that the Japanese will forcibly enter the concession, or even send troops to occupy the concession. I think they can't last long. If we have a military force in our hands, it will undoubtedly increase a lot of bargaining chips." Tang Jin said.

"Brother Tang, can the thing I told you be successful?"

"Captain Tasim promised to help us lobby for Colonel Rechagov and would give me news tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, this is a thing that is beneficial to both sides, and they have no reason to refuse." Tang Jin said.

"That's good. You didn't tell them that they could deal with the opium they seized, but as long as they were not sold to the French concession or sold to Zhang Xiaolin?"

"I said that this condition is very attractive to them." Tang Jin said, "Old Lu, if your move is done, you can really walk sideways in the French Concession."

"I'm planning ahead, just to protect myself. Besides, you are the leader of Team Leader Tang." Lu Xiyan said complimentingly.

"Haha..." Tang Jin smiled. He was worried that Lu Xiyan would suffer losses and even end up miserably if he fought with Zhang Xiaolin like this.

However, when he proposed to cooperate with the French Concession garrison, he realized that this was his power. No matter how powerful the gang is, it cannot compare to the army. Moreover, the Qing Gang is no longer the time when Boss Du was there.
