Chapter 66 The wind and rain are coming (3)
While the Shen family was preparing to start dinner, the phone rang. After a while, the housekeeper Fu Uncle came in and said, "Second Young Master, your phone number."
"My phone number?" Chen Xiuwen was stunned for a moment. He did not notify others when he came back this time, and walked over suspiciously and picked up the phone.
"Brother, I am Shuyi." An intoxicated voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, it's Shuyi, you're well-informed." After receiving Chen Zui's call, Chen Xiuwen's first reaction was that he was being followed. But at the same time, he was a little confused. If the people from the secret service wanted to follow and investigate him, Chen Zui had no reason to call him. However, he still said to Chen Zui with a smile.
"Brother, do you have time? I want to meet you."
The intoxicated voice was still the same as before, and he respected Chen Xiuwen very much. However, Chen Xiuwen still heard a hint of solemnity from the intoxicated voice. He looked at his family sitting in the restaurant, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, let's do it now, it's still the Cantonese restaurant we met for the first time."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiuwen walked into the restaurant and said to his family apologetically: "I have something to go out for a while and I won't have dinner at home."
Chen Xiuping, who was walking in with a pot of vegetables in person, suddenly said unhappily: "Look at you, you have been back in Shanghai for a few days, but you haven't seen anyone. Just came back today and wanted to go out again. You can't take time to accompany Wenwan. How many times have you been back this year?"
Chen Xiuwen looked at Yu Wenwan sitting at the dining table with an awkward look on his face. To be honest, the reason why he rarely goes home is mainly because he feels very embarrassed when he gets along with Yu Wenwan.
"Okay, let him go if you have something to do, but go early and come back soon." The old man said a very rare sentence, but he could see that he was a little indifferent.
"Yes, sister, there are so many things to do to restore the liberation, just let him go." Yu Wenwan also stood up at this time, and said with a smile, helping Chen Xiuwen to get the coat hanging on the hanger. In front of his family, Yu Wenwan had always shown the image of a good wife.
Chen Xiuping then nodded reluctantly and said with no good voice: "When you come back, come home to stay, don't stay outside all day long. You are all married."
Chen Xiuping's words made Chen Xiuwen and Yu Wenwan a little embarrassed. They have been married for almost three years and have no children so far. Both the Shen family and the Yu family have voices in this regard. Chen Xiuwen did not dare to answer, so he quickly put on his coat and said, "I'm leaving." He hurried out of the house.
After Chen Xiuwen left, the old man looked at Yu Wenwan and couldn't help but sigh softly. Yu Wenwan also lowered her head and snatched the rice in the bowl without saying a word.
When Chen Xiuwen came to the Cantonese restaurant on Sima Road, Chen Zui had already arrived. Without any followers, he ordered a private room next to the window, several dishes and a pot of rice wine. Seeing Chen Xiuwen come in, he quickly stood up and shouted respectfully: "Brother."
Chen Xiuwen was not polite, so he sat down on the head seat casually and said with a smile: "Shuyi, we are all brothers, don't always be so arrogant, okay? Come on, come on, sit down."
At this moment, a hint of embarrassment smiled embarrassedly on his intoxicated face, sat down, and poured half a bowl of rice wine into Chen Xiuwen's bowl.
"Shuyi, I originally wanted to find you to get together after finishing the work at hand in the past two days. Unexpectedly, you called the phone and said, what's the matter with me?" Chen Xiuwen said with a smile.
"Brother, have you been with an American named James these two days? And this James came to Shanghai from the United States with Brother Junwei? You also went to the warehouse in the public concession with James today and transported three trucks of things from it." Chen Zui thought for a moment and said bluntly.
In fact, Chen Xiuwen was laughing at him, but he was thinking about Chen Zui’s intention to make an appointment today. Unexpectedly, his every move was within Shen Zui’s surveillance range, and he was shocked. He restrained the smile on his face, squinted his eyes and said, “Shuyi, are you keep following me and investigating me?”
When he saw Chen Xiuwen's expression, he waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't get me wrong. We also discovered it by chance." He said, "When we were investigating the Japanese secret agency Iwai Mansion located in Shanghai, we found that they were closely following the American James and Brother Junwei. And Jiro Oshima, the head of international affairs, contacted James several times. While we were investigating, we accidentally found that you were with James and Brother Junwei."
Chen Xiuwen was stunned and asked quickly: "Do you say that Jiro Oshima is a spy at Iwai Mansion?"
Jiro Oshima was the Japanese who had been pestering James to discuss cooperation with penicillin a few days ago, and his identity was the representative of Japan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Shanghai. Although Shen Xiuwen knew that the Japanese were not good, he did not expect Jiro Oshima to be a Japanese spy directly.
He nodded intoxicatedly and said solemnly: "Yes, brother. Although we don't know why the Japanese are staring at this James, you are the leader of the Third Security Regiment that will be stationed in Shanghai. If it attracts Japan's attention, it will definitely be unfavorable for your future work."
Looking at Chen Zui's calm look, Chen Xiuwen gradually dispelled his doubts. However, the pervasiveness of Japanese spies also made him alert. After pondering for a while, Chen Xiuwen said to Chen Zui: "The three truckloads of goods that James and I went to the public concession warehouse today were all arms. You should know that James was an arms dealer who was mingled in Shanghai. But you don't know that James is still the boss of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in the United States, right?"
"Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company?" Chen Zui thought the name was very familiar at first, but he soon remembered the news about penicillin that had been published in the newspapers in the past two days. Isn't this penicillin, known as the magical drug of Western medicine, produced by Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company in the United States?
"The purpose of the Japanese is to penicillin?" Chen Zui said in shock.
Chen Xiuwen admired the intoxicated reaction speed. No wonder he was appreciated by Dai Li and became one of the "Three Musketeers" of the Military Control Commission. He nodded and said, "This Oshima Jiro has been looking for James for the past two days, wanting to obtain the right to distribute penicillin in Japan or authorize it to produce in Japan. However, James has never agreed to him."
Chen Zui then nodded with great enlightenment, but he still looked at Chen Xiuwen with some questions on his face, as if he wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak.
Chen Xiuwen smiled at him and said, "You probably want to ask me about the relationship between Junwei and James? Let me tell you the truth. James and I met him a few years ago when we were in Shanghai. He was still a less successful arms dealer. Of course, we were just eating and drinking together at that time. Junwei also knew James at that time."
Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but nod. When he was dating Shen Xiuwen, he knew that Chen Xiuwen was loyal and had many friends.
Chen Xiuwen continued, "You may not know why Junwei went to the United States to do business last year, right? He went to the United States to cooperate with James, acquired Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and successfully developed penicillin. Of course, this big boss is James. To be honest, I also have a small share in it." Speaking of this, Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but smile and said, "But you have to keep this matter secret."
In fact, James is the boss of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and Zeng Jiahui's situation will sooner or later be exposed. Chen Xiuwen did not intend to hide it from Chen Zui. As for telling Chen Zui and Hong Junwei that he and Hong Junwei hold some shares, this is just to find an excuse for their relationship with James. He did not expect Chen Zui to keep this secret for himself.
After listening to the scene, I smiled relievedly and said, "I didn't expect that my brother would have such a vision. I really admire him."
Chen Xiuwen waved his hand and smiled, "I was just looking for a way out. Look at the current situation getting tense, and Shanghai is not peaceful."
He nodded in obsession and then immediately said with a serious expression: "But, brother, the Japanese are now staring at James and Brother Junwei very closely. Although I have ordered my subordinates to pay close attention to the every move of these Japanese, you should still remind them to be careful to prevent the Japanese from jumping over the wall."
"I have asked Chen Yi to go to Suzhou to take a class to protect James and Junwei. I guess he will arrive tonight. They will leave Shanghai and return to the United States in two days. I will bother you in the next two days, so I will help you keep an eye on it." Chen Xiuwen also said with a serious face.
"Brother, don't worry, this is also my duty. From now on, after you arrive in Shanghai, just speak up whatever you can use for me." Chen Zui said hurriedly.
