The situation in the Shanghai Public Settlement feels like it is about to collapse.

Wu Sibao carried out a massacre at the Farmers Bank, and in turn, the Military Command Bureau created a big explosion at Zhengjin Bank.

Both sides are already desperate.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce will never allow this to happen.

President Moyes made an emergency meeting with the principals from both parties.

The Japanese side firmly refuses to admit that the bloody incidents that occurred in the public concession have anything to do with Japan.

Wu Jingyi, who met with Moyes on behalf of Meng Shaoyuan, also firmly denied that the Military Command Bureau was involved in the Zhengjin Bank bombing.

"Maybe we will hijack some of the Japanese vehicles, but our interest in the bank is more for the money in it than for blowing it up."

This is what Wu Jingyi told Moyes.

This is what puzzled Moyes the most.

According to normal logic, after the explosion at Zhengjin Bank, it was the best time to commit a robbery.

However, nothing happened.

It seems that the key to the problem is the two foreigners:

Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher.

"Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher" were wanted throughout the public settlement.

But they disappeared.

It's like it never appeared.

Probably in order to ease the current tense situation, at the instruction of Kenji Doihara, Yanagawa Yasunumi held a so-called Sino-Japanese friendship party.

In addition to increasing mutual "friendship", the main function of this fraternity is to "welcome" Li Shiqun, solemnly introduce Li Shiqun, tell everyone that he has begun to serve the Empire of Japan, and cut off his escape path.

Almost all the Japanese and Chinese family members who attended the party were also invited.

Kenji Doihara, a man with great supernatural powers, even held this social gathering at the consulate.

Matsumoto Nitsugi, the head of the Japanese Army's secret service stationed in Shanghai, was also invited.

Although he still holds the title of agency chief, he has lost power since the establishment of the Doihara Agency.

His rights were given to those he considered "juniors."

In "The Three Imperial Tigers", Chika Akagi's death.

Matsumoto Nitsugi is mainly responsible for logistics support.

Tani Shigehara's current situation is not bad, after all, he is in the navy, but his power is far less than before.

At this point, the Three Tigers of the Empire gradually retreated from the stage to the background.

A group of young people such as Koichi Hahara, Hiroshi Miyamichi, and Kojiro Kawamoto began to emerge.

Matsumoto Nitsugi originally did not want to participate, but Yanagawa Yasumi personally called him and explained the importance of this sorority. He also specifically asked him to bring his daughter with him to increase the friendship between China and Japan.

Only then did Matsumoto Nitsugi bite the bullet and bring Manaiko with him to the sorority party.

Many "celebrities" came.

For example, Yanagawa Yasumi, who presided over the joint meeting, and Kumaguchi Mata, the military attache of the Japanese Consulate.

The famous traitor Tian Qi.

Ji Yunqing, the leader of Shanghai’s Tang Youth Gang.

Ji Yunqing, who had just spent a large sum of money and was feeling distressed, initially wanted to be angry but thought again that this was a great opportunity to get close to the Japanese and rebuild relationships, which he could not let go.

Especially Li Shiqun will go there today, and the main thing is to welcome Li Shiqun, so we must give him face.

After much deliberation, he finally showed up with his great-nephew Ji Quanrong.

When Yanagawa Yasumi saw him, he was still very polite. He asked about his welfare, as if the previous things had never happened.

"Ah, Mr. Matsumoto is here."

"Your Excellency Yanagawa, Mr. Ji." Matsumoto Nitsugi, who was attending with his daughter, nodded slightly towards the two of them.

As soon as he saw the girl next to Matsumoto Nitsugi, Ji Quanrong's eyes suddenly became confused.

Beautiful and pure.

This is a real Japanese beauty.

Like his grandfather, Ji Quanrong is also a lustful ghost.

This girl is definitely not even twenty years old, and it is the season when she is young and tender.

"Manako is getting more and more beautiful." Kumaguchi Asada, the military attaché of the Japanese Consulate, also came and said a compliment.

Ah, her name was Zhen Naizi. It was such a nice name. Ji Quanrong remembered the name firmly.

Makoto smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Xiongguchi. Father, I'll just take a walk."

She doesn't like such occasions very much.

She hasn't seen Mr. Shao Yuan for a long time.

She knew that the situation in the public concession was too complicated recently, and Mr. Shao Yuan was too busy preparing for war and had no time. When he had dealt with his enemies, he would definitely come to see her.

No, I am obviously Japanese, so Shao Yuan-kun’s enemies are Japanese, right?

"Ms. Matsumoto." A voice sounded from behind.

Makoto turned around and his face changed: "Who are you?"

"Ms. Matsumoto has a bad memory. We met in Nanjing. I am Koichi Hahara."

Of course Makoto recognized this person.

When she and Shao Yuan went to Nanjing, it was Han Yuan Koichi who personally received them.

"Ah, I remembered, it's Hahara-kun." Manaiko looked like she suddenly realized: "I'm really sorry, I didn't thank you for your hospitality last time."

"No need." Habara Hikari looked behind Manaki: "Isn't your Rukawa-kun here?"

Shinoko forced a smile: "I haven't seen him for a long time."

"That's it." Hanbara Koichi said nonchalantly: "Ms. Matsumoto, some very strange things happened when we were in Nanjing. Now I know who Rukawa Kaede is. It's a pity that I missed one of his arresters.

Great opportunity.”

"What are you talking about, Hahara-kun?" Shinoko's face turned a little pale.

"Do you know why I haven't told you about this?" Hahara Guangyi said to himself: "I don't have good evidence to prove that you are dealing with one of the empire's most dangerous enemies. Of course, if I report it, you

You will definitely be investigated, and your father will also be implicated, but unfortunately, this is something I don’t want to see.

We have been fighting among ourselves for a long time, but now we have finally made some progress. If an army colonel is involved in such an important incident, there will be chaos. Miss Matsumoto, you are just a girl, you don’t know that you are being used by that person, yes

, I believe you were used by him, because I know that you are also Japanese."

Zhen Naizi remained silent.

It cannot be said that this kind of thing cannot be admitted under any circumstances.

Hahara Koichi stared at her: "End it, Miss Matsumoto, no matter what happened in the past, let it end here. I will not pursue it, I will give you a chance. But it must not happen again. If you are

We caught you, you are a girl, you don’t know what terrible ending you will face, it will be your nightmare.”

After saying that, he bowed slightly to Makoto and left.

He really let Ma Naiko go, and the reason was the same as what he just said.

In human nature, the good side occasionally shines through.

Koichi Hahara not only has an older brother, but also a younger sister.

This sister is the one he loves most.

He's probably about the same age as Makoto.

Since he came to China, he has not seen his sister for a long time. Koichi Hahara misses her very much.

When he saw Shinoko, he seemed to see his own sister.

Forget it, let her go.

She is just an ignorant girl, how much of a threat can she be?

Makoto had no idea what Hahara Koichi was thinking. She even wondered if he had really let her go, or if he had some other conspiracy?

No, I must see Mr. Shao Yuan.

"Miss Manaiko." A voice full of flattery came.

That person who was standing next to Ji Yunqing just now?

"Ms. Naiko, please introduce yourself. I am Ji Quanrong." Ji Quanrong said in Japanese that he was not particularly proficient in: "I'm so glad to meet you here."

"Please speak Chinese, I can speak it." Shinaki is always so polite.
