The spring is chilly and the temperature in Shanghai is much lower than that in Hong Kong. When Lu Xiyan and Xiaole walked down from the barge with their suitcases, they subconsciously closed their collars.

The cold wind on the Huangpu River is so bitter.

They arrived in Shanghai at night, and the Bund not far away was flashing, and the lights were flashing, which was very lively and prosperous. Even in Europe, cities like Paris could rarely be seen.

In fact, in terms of scale and prosperity, Shanghai is not inferior to cities like Paris and London. Two years ago, when Lu Xiyan first came back.

The Bund was pitch black, not long after experiencing the war, and the harsh air defense alarm could be sounded at any time.

When the boat arrived at Shiliupu Pier, it suddenly started to rain lightly in the sky, which made it even colder. The little raindrops hit the face, which was really painful and cold.

The only umbrella, Lu Xiyan gave Xiaole. He couldn't let a big man hold an umbrella and let a girl get wet in the rain behind him, right?

Fortunately, he was wearing a wind hood and the raindrops could not hit him directly.

As soon as I got on the dock, I saw a guy wearing a black windbreaker jogging all the way. There was a guy wearing a black leather jacket and smoking a cigarette behind him. Ma Xiaowu was running in front, and Tang Jin was following him.

"Sir, give me the box." Ma Xiaowu naturally took the heavy box from Lu Xiyan. Of course, he did not forget that Xiaole was also carrying a suitcase in his hand.

"I'm back." Tang Jin came forward and gave Lu Xiyan a hug. "Let's go, the restaurant has been ordered for you. Let's go to have a meal first and then take you home."

"Okay." Lu Xiyan nodded.

The mutton restaurant is steaming hot. If it weren’t for setting the location in advance, there would be no location at this time.

"Miss Little Le, sit."

"Xiaole, if you are unhappy with us, you can go back first." Lu Xiyan said. Xiaole knows better and doesn't like such occasions.

"I'll send Xiaole back first?" Ma Xiaowu said. He and Xiaole lived under the same roof for so long that he knew her personality.

“Okay.”

"Xiao Le is cold-hearted and doesn't like to socialize with others. She is so uncomfortable at our big man." Lu Xiyan explained to Tang Jin.

"Well, this Xiaole is the military advisor?"

"Well, why do you ask this?" Lu Xiyan nodded, "Don't you know everything?"

"Do you know that you are not here during this period. Nakajima, the Japanese Special High School course, is quietly investigating people related to you." Tang Jin whispered.

"Is that true?" Lu Xiyan was not surprised at all. If Japan did not investigate him, it would not be a good thing.

"They are eyeing Guo Jie." Tang Jin lowered his voice and said in Lu Xiyan's ear.

"It's because Guo Jie got one-third of my share of Zhang Xiaolin's assets?" Lu Xiyan nodded, which had actually been expected.

"Yes, Guo Jie suddenly rose because of your relationship. Let alone the Japanese, even I need to pay attention to it." Tang Jin said.

"There is no problem with Guo Jie's identity, and the Japanese cannot find anything." Lu Xiyan said.

"You and I know who Guo Jie is. Even if his identity is not a problem, once it is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable." Tang Jin said.

"Then kill Nakajima. Without the investigation, it will be difficult for the Special High School to investigate again." Lu Xiyan said.

"You can't do it in the French Concession." Tang Jin said, "The Germans are very strong in Europe. I judge that Britain, the United States and France may not care about their interests in the Far East."

"The Japanese have always had strategies to advance north and go south. Over the years, they have been hesitating about which route to choose. Even now, they are still choosing and are shaking. Abe has been a cabinet minister for only a few months and was replaced by Mine Mitsumasa. I judge that Mine will not be able to do it for a long time. Next, Japan will either change a strong hawk to the stage, or who can solve the Chinese problem to hold this position, otherwise, the position of the Prime Minister will continue to change in turn." Lu Xiyan said.

"Okay, Lao Lu, you have thoroughly studied Japan's internal affairs." Tang Jin exclaimed.

"I just look at the problem from the perspective of an onlooker. In fact, Japan itself understands its own problem, but how to solve it is a big problem. The army, navy, the aristocratic house, and the parliament have their own interests. If there is really someone who can integrate the political and military power of the entire Japanese government, like the one in Germany, then we will be really hard to fight this war."

"That's right, but there is no such person in Japan at this stage." Tang Jin nodded.

"Anyway, from now on, we will live with our tails in our hands."

"Hey, the compromise with Japan is getting worse and worse. Although we still retain some power, if we continue like this, I am worried that sooner or later, the Japanese army will directly enter the concession and take over the entire concession." Tang Jin said.

"So, we must make the worst plan. Lao Tang, we should not fight against No. 76 and the Japanese Gendarmerie Special High School now, which is a struggle for blood to fight against blood and teeth to teeth. My suggestion is to hide and wait for the opportunity." Lu Xiyan said.

"Brother, your words are a very reasonable saying, but the above will not listen. Besides, even if we stop, the traitors of No. 76 will not let us go." Tang Jin said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic, drink."

"Don't you go to work tomorrow?"

"I just came back, I have to clean up my house, right?" Lu Xiyan said, "I just came back tonight and went to work the next day. You want to be exhausted."

“That’s right.”

...

Top floor of Broadway Building.

"He's back?"

"Yes, Miss Yunzi, the boat ticket was 1:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon, and it should be home now." Nakajima reported respectfully that asano died, he became a ball and was kicked around. If Takeuchi Yunzi hadn't pulled him, he would still not know where he was in the corner.

"You are investigating that Guo Jie these days. Are there any clues?" Takeuchi Yunko asked, holding her Persian cat "Bobo" in her arms, gently stroked the back of its furry head.

"This person is a disciple of the Qing Gang. He is not a big shot in the gang, but he also has some abilities. He has seven or eight industries under his name. The most valuable one is the Triumph Dance Hall on Jufu Road. It has been open for some years. It used to belong to the Du group. After Du Yuesheng went to Hong Kong, some people who were not directly from the Du group became independent. Guo Jie is one of them. However, he is relatively low-key. In addition to managing his own dance hall and other related industries, he rarely makes enemies with others. He has a good reputation among the Qing Gang and is quite righteous." Nakajima said.

"Is there anything to doubt?"

"At present, I haven't found it yet." Nakajima was slightly stunned and replied.

"Then have you found out about his relationship with Yan Lei?"

"He probably knew Yan Lei three years ago. Yan Lei fled from the north and was poor. One night, he happened to faint from hunger at the entrance of the Triumph Dance Hall. He was discovered by Guo Jie's subordinates and rescued him. After that, Guo Jie took him in and worked in the Triumph Dance Hall for three months. Later, he resigned and went to a trading company called Senhe..."

"Senhe Trading Bank?"

"It has gone bankrupt. Yan Lei failed to get the severance fee after the trading company went bankrupt and went bankrupt. He applied for a job in Lu Mansion." Nakajima said.

"Is that true, can anyone from Sen and the trading company find it?"

"The boss of Morihe Trading Company went missing after bankruptcy. As for the rest of the company, because the company is not big and there are not many employees, as soon as the company disbands, everyone goes their separate ways. There is no way to investigate now." Nakajima said.

"So that's the case. What's going on with the mole?" asked Takeuchi Yunko.

"The Mole's situation is normal, but the military advisor has not assigned any tasks to Nanjing during this period. He doesn't have to do anything except for a fixed time report." Nakajima said.

"I understand, you have done a good job. From now on, you are just responsible for all the matters about the mole. Do you understand?" Takeuchi Yunko ordered in a deep voice.

"Hayi!"

...

"Sir, I didn't even go to pick you up when you came back. I'm so sorry." When Lu Xiyan returned home, Yan Lei ran over and apologized constantly.

"Just Le and I are back, and Xiao Wu will pick me up alone, so there is not so many people." Lu Xiyan smiled. During the Chinese New Year, Yan Lei and Tian Rui are newlyweds again. They went to Tian Rui's house to visit relatives. This was not long after they came back.

"Someone is investigating my relationship with my fifth brother, do you know?"

"I know, Tang Jin told me that he was the original subordinate of Asano, named Nakajima." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"Yes, although the resumes I forged in the past are perfect, I am still a little worried that if a too perfect resume will let the other party see the flaws?" Yan Lei said.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Lu Xiyan smiled, "The matter of Cheng Haitao can be put on the agenda. You can't let him continue to cause trouble for us."

"You mean, find a chance to get rid of him?" Yan Lei asked.

"Well, it's best to die silently." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"No problem, I'll notify Brother Ding Er."

"By the way, during the period when I left, did Fujimoto Shizuka have any movement?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"She just doesn't want to go to the project team of a new pharmaceutical factory and wants to continue to stay in the laboratory. The reason is that she is not suitable for production management, and R&D is what she is good at." Yan Lei said.

"How is the location of a new pharmaceutical factory selected?"

"There are a few plots of land, and I'll decide where to build a pharmaceutical factory when you come back." Yan Lei said, "Sato Pharmaceutical hopes that we will not build a pharmaceutical factory in the concession. They hope to build it in the Huajie or Hongkou Jiangwan area."

"No need, I already thought of a new joint venture pharmaceutical factory." Lu Xiyan said directly.

“You already have a choice?”
