Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

After picking up Mio and walking out of the school gate, Chen Jiehua thought for a moment, then let Mio get in the car first, while he waved directly to the little spy who was keeping watch in the distance.

The little spy was completely bewildered. He wanted to run away but didn't dare, so he could only scratch his head and cautiously step forward.

"Hey, ask your Xu Enzeng where we're having dinner tonight."

"Sir, I am from the Special Service."

"Hey! The Special Service can do the same. Just call back and ask Dai Chunfeng where he's having dinner tonight, and he'll understand."

After greeting the little spy, Chen Jiehua didn't wait at the door at all. He got into the car and had his brother-in-law drive to the pharmacy first.

In Nanjing, how could Xu Enzeng not find Qingmu Qiao? He might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it to save Baldy's bullet.

The little spy found the phone booth at the convenience store near the school gate, called back, and Dai Chunfeng angrily uttered two words, "Idiot!"

"Notify everyone over there to come back. You can go and receive your family punishment."

Over there, Dai Chunfeng waited until all the people keeping watch went home. After summarizing the reports from the junior agents, he was completely confused. Something was wrong.

Why did he take Chen Lanfeng to the girls' school to pick up his wife? Why didn't he just go directly to find her, instead of going to an empty fourth floor? It doesn't make sense.

He stayed up there for about five minutes? That's weird, isn't it? It doesn't make sense.

"Bring the student who delivered the message here and ask her what she said. Be gentle and polite to female students, you bunch of brutes!"

"You, bring me the file on Chen Lanfeng that I transferred last time, now!"

"You, bring over all the records from the previous investigation of Aoki Joe, now!"

"And Fujiwara Mio's file!"

The key point is that he clearly knew I had people monitoring him. Could it be that he did it on purpose?

But what was his purpose?

After arranging Dai Chunfeng's work, Chen Jiehua took Meixu's hand in the car and comforted her silently. Meixu silently shed tears, this time not pretending, but genuinely moved as she looked at her brother in front of her.

Upon arriving at the pharmacy, Watanabe opened the car door and found Fujiwara Mio crying. He exclaimed, "Aoki-kun! This is outrageous! How could you make the beautiful Mio so upset!"

"Hey Watanabe-kun, with your attitude, it proves I didn't choose the wrong person. It's no wonder Mio treated you bastards so well in Shanghai."

When Chen Lanfeng looked at Watanabe Watari again, he thought, "Hmm, this kid looks pretty good, much more pleasing to the eye."

"Hey, looks like we don't need to get off the bus, Brother Xu is here."

The party's high-profile banquet was not something a lieutenant colonel was qualified to attend, but Bald Head finally remembered the trap Chen Jiehua had set last year, and specifically instructed that Chen Lanfeng be brought to the banquet with him.

Last year, Aoki deliberately mentioned Chen Lanfeng, and later the bald man also arranged for an investigation into Chen Lanfeng's identity. He was from Yilan County, Taiwan Province, and entered the Army Academy preparatory class in 1922. He was indeed in the same class as Aoki Seigen at that time.

After graduating from the Army Academy, Chen Lanfeng went on to become an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, and then followed Tang Enbo's troops. Tang Enbo was his junior, so it seems that the three of them had some interaction at the Army Academy.

Aoki has a peculiar habit of using the names of his classmates from the Army Academy, which is just like me! I also like to use names of my fellow townsmen and students from the Whampoa Military Academy, for the same reason.

In conclusion, General Aoki wants to use Chen Lanfeng! Isn't that great? Could Lifu arrange for Chen Lanfeng to be recruited into the Lixingshe Special Service Department and then placed next to Aoki?

You're the one who got this person by your own initiative, think about it, it's really sweet.

That's settled then. So, on Matai Street, Xu Enzeng invited Aoki Qiao and Fujiwara Mio into his car and left first.

Then another driver, who had already been arranged, asked Chen Lanfeng to get out of the driver's seat and sit in the back seat.

Halfway there, Chen Lifu got into Chen Lanfeng's car.

Upon arriving at the secret banquet venue, Chen Jiehua saw that Jiang Guangtou and his wife were actually waiting for him and Meixu outside. He knew that this guy had something up his sleeve.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

As the head of a party, it's quite a show of humility for him to personally greet his wife outside. If word got out, it would certainly not do him any good, but he did it anyway.

Regardless of what he's trying to do, at least he's giving me face. I can't be too dramatic. I'll deal with whatever comes my way. I'm not afraid.

"Greetings, senior! Oh, I am so grateful for your personal greeting, senior and your wife. I am truly flattered."

"Meixu, come here, let me introduce you. This is a senior from Qingxuan Lushi. You've been secretly taken care of by him during your many days in Jinling. This must be the legendary beautiful Madam Jiang."

"Haha, I'm ashamed. My sister-in-law has been in Jinling for so long, and I haven't even had a chance to greet her. It's really impolite of me. Please don't take offense."

“Darling, this is the youngest general in Japan, Aoki, whom I often mention. He is the only general who is both a naval and land general.”

"Greetings, General Aoki."

"Madam, you're too kind. Here, you can just call me Qingxuan."

"This lady is the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara family of Japan, and the wife of General Aoki. Please take Mrs. Aoki to the inner room to admire your collection. My junior and I will have a chat first."

The first step of the private meeting was a simple exchange of pleasantries. Xu Enzeng, the attendants, and the guards already knew that the bald man wanted to meet with the other party alone and in private, so they all kept their distance.

In reality, such private meetings were what Chen Jiehua needed, and also what Jiang Guangtou needed; each of them had their own ulterior motives.

The servants led the two to a private reception room, prepared tea, closed the door, and left.

“Junior brother, I won’t stand on ceremony. Given the current situation, there’s no need for me to say more. The purpose of arranging this private meeting is simply to see if there are any areas where we can cooperate.”

“Senior, it’s just the two of us. Qingxuan’s Chinese is fine, so we’ll speak in Chinese. Let me guess how you want to collaborate.”

"Haha, I'm all ears."

"First of all, although Qingxuan was also a member of the Japanese Army, his conflict with the Kwantung Army, especially with Kenji Doihara, should be known to all."

"It's no secret that Qingxuan directly borrowed Yang Dengying from Xu Enzeng in Shanghai and arranged for him to go to North China to deal with the Doihara Agency."

"Speaking of which, Qingxuan must thank his senior for reluctantly giving it to Mr. Yang."

“Junior Brother Qingxuan, you are indeed intelligent, living up to your reputation. You guessed it right away. What I was thinking was whether we could reach some cooperation on matters related to the Kwantung Army. It doesn’t need to be public. I trust Junior Brother Qingxuan’s character.”

“Senior, if you’re talking about cooperating in other areas, Qingxuan would really have to consider it. But if it’s about cooperating to fight the Kwantung Army, especially to deal with that bug Kenji Doihara, Qingxuan would not hesitate at all.”

"Haha~, Junior Brother Qingxuan is truly straightforward!" (End of Chapter)
