Chapter 682

After a busy day, he finally dealt with the coming and going of the first day of the New Year. This is not over yet, at least there will be another day on the second day. This is not because the people who came on the second day didn't respect him, but because they respected him too much. They couldn't come on the first day because their status and status were not enough, and they couldn't get their number.

Wang Yan's circle of friends is too wide, and his tentacles almost cover every corner of the Shanghai Bund. From the tycoons of all walks of life, foreigners of all countries, to representatives of various workers, and even the boss of the small restaurant he often patronized came early to stuff some local specialties sent from his hometown.

They also had nothing good to send, knowing that Wang Yan didn't look down on those three melons and two dates, so they sent whatever they had. It was mainly a heart, hoping that in the new year, he could continue to be the living Bodhisattva and God of Wealth who blessed them with peace and fortune. After all, sending him something was really more useful than going to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

To be honest, the ones who hoped that Wang Yan would be healthy and long-lived and not have accidents were these small and medium-sized restaurant bosses. Only they were sincere blessings...

In the evening, Wang Yan went out for dinner, asked Qi Si to send him to the garden villa, and let Qi Si go. He had already told Shi Changxing today to look for a new driver, and in a few days, this kid should go out to break through.

Entering the villa, he went upstairs along the stairs and came to the door of the large bedroom and opened it. What came into view was the back of a woman wearing a bathrobe with disheveled hair. She was paralyzed on the carpet, holding a bottle of foreign wine in her hand, and the sad and lost mood could be felt very clearly without words.

Wang Manchun raised her head, her eyes hazy: "You are here..."

"I thought you couldn't come to find me recently, licking your wounds alone at home."

"Heh..." Wang Manchun struggled to stand up, reached out and untied the silk rope tied to her bathrobe, revealing her good scenery, "Come on, you useless stinky man, let you toss..."

"Look, saying I'm useless, isn't it still finding me yourself at the critical moment?"

Wang Yan laughed and stepped forward to stroke Wang Manchun's cheek. Wang Manchun's body relaxed, the wine bottle she was holding slipped, hit the bathrobe that fell to the ground and tilted, and the wine flowed out gurgling. This bathrobe was not going to work...

Later, the exhausted Wang Manchun had long since woken up from the wine, her face stained with a blush, her hair knotted because of sweat, lying weakly on Wang Yan's chest, rising and falling with Wang Yan's breathing.

Wang Yan asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

"What other plans can there be? Of course, it is to continue in the 76?"

"How big can the Wang family's business be? Is it worth me spending my mind to swallow it? My industry is already big enough. If it gets bigger, it's making money with my life. I'm just asking you, how to arrange it next."

"Where else can I go if I'm not in the 76? What else can I do? Ming Lou abandoned me back then, making me a laughing stock in the Shanghai Bund, and my family members passed away one after another, leaving me alone. It was the Japanese who gave me hope and let me find my own value. What's more, I have killed so many people and harmed so many lives. Even if I want to leave, I can't."

Wang Manchun is not a fool, she still has cognition of herself. She has been following the Japanese, attacking the two parties, and clearing out the patriotic anti-Japanese people in the Shanghai Bund, which is what she has been doing. In the half a year since the establishment of the 76, it has created many bloody cases.

The Japanese policy of using Chinese to control Chinese is undoubtedly very correct. The Japanese are ruthless to the Chinese, and the Chinese are not soft to the Chinese. Even to a certain extent, the 76 is much more ruthless than the Special High Police.

Wang Manchun continued: "You are not defecting to the two parties and persuading me to surrender, are you?"

"How is it possible. I don't need to be like you, betting in advance. As long as I save my life and preserve my foundation on the Japanese side. Then no matter what the outcome of the Sino-Japanese war is in the future, I will be invincible. It's just that seeing a woman killing and doing dirty work all day, I feel pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade. After all, those who kill will always be killed, and I don't know when you will die."

"You, don't play tricks with me. If you really had this heart, you would have gone to find me last night, do you still need me to send it to the door myself today? It is said that men are mouths, ghosts who lie, I think this is absolutely correct."

Wang Yan used a little force on the hand holding the big baby: "The big brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, aren't you the same? We two, just a companion. Maybe there were other purposes before, but it's been almost two years now, and Nan Tianyangzi wouldn't still not rest assured of me, right? Isn't it just that you can't bear it yourself? So, see through but don't say through, you are good, I am good, everyone is good."

Wang Manchun gave a cold snort, didn't say anything more, moved to the side and lay down to sleep. She was very uncomfortable before, and now she is very tired. It's good to be tired, let her sleep peacefully.

Wang Yan didn't speak either, turned off the bedside lamp, and brewed sleepiness.

Wang Manchun should still have some true feelings for Wang Fuqu, but Wang Manchun herself is a self-interested person. To say how deep these feelings are is impossible.

【Novel app that has been running stably for many years, the source-changing app that is comparable to the old version of chasing insects, huanyuanapp.】

Everyone is contradictory. Wang Manchun followed the Japanese wholeheartedly. Perhaps there were some influences from Wang Fuqu before. After Wang Fuqu died, Wang Manchun still had such a great attack on the two parties and still followed the Japanese wholeheartedly. At that time, she didn't know what it was for. Perhaps it was inertia, because the previous investment was too large, making her unable to look back. Or perhaps it was really for her so-called value, to fight for a breath.

Or perhaps it was just so abnormal. After all, she didn't do it for money, and didn't think about how much power she wanted, just enthusiastic about attacking the two parties, liking the appearance of the two parties' personnel being embarrassed, and liking those people being tortured by her to the point of being unable to live or die...

Wang Fuqu's death is a big event for the business world of the Shanghai Bund, but for the Shanghai Bund, it is a small matter. Those in high positions don't look down on Wang Fuqu, and those in low positions are just eating, and it doesn't matter to them who dies. It's just taking it out to talk about after tea and dinner. As for the broad masses of working people, they can't feel the harm Wang Fuqu did to them, that is, when reading the newspaper, hearing people say that this is a big traitor, spitting, continuing to do their work, and struggling to survive.

Qi Si left and went to work under Shi Changxing. Occasionally going out to escort goods, occasionally going out to do dirty work, doing quite well. Mainly because he is young and dares to take action. What's more, he has stayed by Wang Yan's side, the relationship is harder, and he dares to make decisions and take responsibility.

As for the new driver, this time Wang Yan did not fix the candidate, but selected from the subordinates who could drive, and rotated every week like the guards of the Wang Tianyue Gongguan.

Qi Si could be his driver because he was familiar with it, but these people who came later couldn't. On the other hand, he could also take this opportunity to see what kind of players his subordinates were and what their composition was, and have a count in his heart.

If Wang Yan didn't make any moves, the fate of the Ming family's group of people was basically fixed, so they still happened as they should. Ming Tai and Cheng Jinyun of the Red Party were dating according to the original trajectory, and because they stole intelligence, they were caught, and they killed the younger brother of Liang Zhongchun's little wife. Ming Lou was still acting with Wang Manchun on one side, and constantly stealing some intelligence to hand over to the Shanghai underground party.

In terms of intelligence, Wang Yan seemed to have become a background board, and his role was not as great as Ming Lou's.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, Wang Yan is the inspector general of the police station in the French Concession, a big hooligan, and a big businessman, not a person inside the Japanese system after all. Although he knows many Japanese high officials, for people of this level, speaking cautiously is the most basic quality, and they will not easily reveal so much intelligence.

Even if there is some news, it is pieced together from a few words, and most of them are intelligence on major strategic aspects. For example, some large-scale troop movements on the front line, some disputes within Japan, some choices about the international situation, etc. In the mouths of these people, basic specific things will not appear, because their status and status have already got rid of transactional work, and they are people who grasp the direction. Many things they know, but they will not take them to the table, unless it is particularly important.

It is also like this, the intelligence Wang Yan obtained is not of much use to Shanghai. On the contrary, it is quite useful for the Red Party army behind, and the central government's judgment on the situation and strategy. But in fact, Wang Yan already knew these intelligence. After all, there are history books. Although there are many things hidden under history, he is now a witness. Borrowing later history, through clues, he can see the truth.

So to be precise, many of the intelligence he provided were compiled by himself. As for the degree, it was grasped by himself...

But Ming Lou is different. Although he cannot contact higher-level intelligence, with his identity as the director of the Economic Department of the Wang puppet government, the deputy director of the Special Committee, and a member of the Iwai Tianyue Gongguan, he can contact many specific intelligence and pass these to the Shanghai underground party organization. In this way, the Shanghai underground party is always one step ahead of the Japanese special agents and has turned danger into safety several times.

It is precisely because of Ming Lou's appearance, and his position is relatively critical, that Wang Yan has not contacted the Shanghai underground party organization for a long time, and has not received any emergency contact codes.

From this direction, Ming Lou's appearance helped Wang Yan, allowing him to operate his business more attentively. His identity as Pei Min has not been used for a long time.

However, he was safe and didn't look for trouble, but there was always no lack of trouble by his side.

This day, after dinner, Wang Yan took Yu Manli back to the Wang Tianyue Gongguan. When entering the main gate, the guards at the gate stopped the car, trotted over with an invitation card: "Brother Yan, this is an invitation from the Japanese Consulate, inviting you to attend a cocktail party three days later."

Wang Yan took it, opened it and looked at it, raised his head and looked at the subordinate's hesitant appearance, and said: "If you have something to say, say it together, don't stutter."

"Yes, Brother Yan." The subordinate scratched his head, "Brother Yan, when Uncle Wu and Aunt Liang went shopping last week, they got to know the servant of the Ming family next door. That old woman is relatively enthusiastic and walked with the old couple for a long time. This afternoon, that woman came over and talked to Aunt Liang again. But they were not in the Wang Tianyue Gongguan, but walked around on the road outside. When they came back, looking at Aunt Liang, they seemed to have talked very happily."

Wang Yan nodded: "I know, you have a heart, do it well."

Casually giving the subordinate a shot of chicken blood, the driver sensibly stepped on the accelerator and drove into the courtyard.

Getting off the car with Yu Manli and entering the house, in the living room, the radio was playing boring programs that were not many in this era. The old couple was sitting on the sofa, Uncle Wu was winding wool with his hands, and Aunt Liang was tossing about with the thread, looking very harmonious. This was already after dinner and cleaning up, basically ending the day's work and starting to rest.

Responding to their greeting with a smile, Wang Yan sat on the side and asked: "Aunt Liang, just heard from Datou at the gate that the servant of the Ming family next door came to talk to you?"

"You mean Xiao Gui? She came to find me. When I went out with Old Wu last week, I met her. This person is very enthusiastic and helped our couple. This afternoon, she was free, so she came to find me to talk."

Wang Yan nodded and asked again: "What did you say?"

"Nothing, just asking how long we have been here, whether we are busy on weekdays, and whether you are good to our couple. She also said that she herself... is also a poor person..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Liang also reacted that something was wrong, looked at Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu asked nervously: "Sir, is it that we shouldn't associate with her?"

In his turbid old eyes, there was caution and anxiety, afraid that something would happen, and let their old couple become rootless duckweeds, dying in a dirty and smelly corner, and no one would care even if they rotted.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to drive you away." Wang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile, "You old couple also know that there was a servant in my house before, so I found you here. It's not that I don't let you associate with people, but you have to be careful. My status is too sensitive, and many people want to find a breakthrough from me. So if a stranger appears suddenly, you still have to be careful. If something happens, it will be a life-threatening thing."

"That's right, that's right, must be careful." Aunt Liang echoed, and after thinking about it, she continued, "But now that you say this, I think she really has some problems. She seems to be getting close to me and hooking me to talk."

"Look, isn't this dangerous? But you don't have to worry, after all, you don't even know characters, and you don't know anything. Even if you want to tell her, you can't say anything. Put your heart in your stomach, nothing will happen. Pay attention in the future. As for that Xiao Gui, I will send someone to check. If she comes to find you recently, don't see her. If she finds out something, it will be bad if she runs away in advance. Alright, you guys rest."

Comforting the old couple who were a bit panicked, Wang Yan took Yu Manli upstairs.

Upstairs, Yu Manli asked: "Why do you think there is a problem as soon as someone comes to find you?"

"Did I say that?"

"No, but the feeling you gave me, you seem very sure."

"That's an illusion, it's just that these trivial matters can't confuse my heart, and my face is like a calm lake. In this way, I am very sure about everything. If I let someone of your level see what I think, wouldn't I have died long ago?" Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, and changed the subject, "However, what you said is not bad, I am still a bit sure. I know the servant of the Ming family. She came by train from the Northeast on New Year's Eve. She hasn't been back for a long time, and she went to talk to Aunt Liang. Do you think she has a problem?"

This Lone Wolf is either ordered by Nan Tianyangzi or Wang Manchun. It's not intentional, the possibility of temporary intention is greater. After all, the Wang Tianyue Gongguan and the Ming Tianyue Gongguan are adjacent.

The guards at the gate rarely go to the courtyard, basically staying in the gatehouse, and meals are sent by the old couple. If they inquire indiscriminately, it is four people together, so it is impossible for all four to be bought.

Although they are all little hooligans at the bottom, they already have some brains to join Wang Yan's subordinates. After all, it is well known that Boss Wang's subordinates are well treated, and the brand is hard enough. Who doesn't want to join? Hooligans also have to compete, and they have already experienced screening.

Guarding the gate for Wang Yan looks like an idle job, but it's not that anyone who wants to come can come. After all, that is the big boss at the top. If you get into his eyes, won't you fly to the top? This is also competitive. So there are no fools. If there is any small action, it would have been exposed long ago, and it would be impossible to hide it.

While talking, the two had already come to the study. Wang Yan walked over directly, picked up the phone, dialed the turntable to the next door, and invited Ming Lou to come over for tea.

If there is a problem, it must be solved. It is not a good thing for this Lone Wolf to stay for a long time. He wants to see what Ming Lou's attitude is. If it doesn't work, he will kill him directly. After all, this Lone Wolf is by Ming Jing's side, which is really annoying.

There is another problem here, showing that this is an idol romance spy story. The spies arranged by the enemy are already at home, and Ming Lou and Ming Cheng and others dare to say some intelligence information at home, and dare to use the phone to contact and communicate at home. This is very unrealistic.

Although technology was not very developed in this era, the level of eavesdropping devices was also there, and the cost was not very high. This Gui Yi is a servant of the Ming family. It is really convenient to clean up and so on on weekdays, especially when Wang Manchun and Nan Tianyangzi have always maintained some suspicion of Ming Lou, then wouldn't it be installed everywhere?

But they actually said some gains and losses of things in a grand manner, planning some action arrangements. From a normal angle, they should have died eight hundred times long ago.

This is not all. Don't look at Ming Lou's pretender appearance of having everything under control. If he is really caught and tortured, it is unknown whether he will recruit or not. According to Ming Lou's status and level, the losses suffered by the Military Statistics Bureau and the Shanghai underground party are absolutely heavy.

That is two stories...
