Chapter 241 A family of drama queens
"I was originally a carefree person in Wolonggang, but I can control the world with the help of yin and yang. The late emperor came to Nanyang three times to invite me, and it was considered that the Han Dynasty was divided into three parts..."

Gao Kejian crossed his legs, shook his head, hummed Xipi Liushui, took a bite of food, took a sip of wine, and beat the rhythm for himself. He looked contented and comfortable.

Mrs. Gao pushed the door open and walked in. She sat on the chair opposite her husband and said worriedly, "Do you think Qi Yue understood what you said? It would be terrible if he reported the gold mine to his superiors."

Gao Kejian smiled slightly: "With his intelligence, it is impossible for him not to understand."

Mrs. Gao complained, "You are the same. You can explain something clearly in one sentence, but you have to beat around the bush."

Gao Kejian snorted: "What do you know? After all, I am his superior. I can keep this shady thing to him tacitly, but I can't speak frankly. Translated into plain language, it means that the words cannot come out of my mouth. Inviting him to dinner at home is to convey my true thoughts to him through you. In addition, I always feel that Qi Yue is a bit hard to figure out..."

There were footsteps on the stairs, and Gao Mingyu came down from upstairs. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and said as he ate, "I didn't even eat enough to act out this scene with you guys."

"The dumplings are cold. Eat something else first. I'll ask Aunt Liu to heat up the dumplings."

Mrs. Gao took the dumplings to the kitchen.

Gao Mingyu asked: "Dad, how am I doing?"

Gao Kejian said: "Very good."

Gao Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "But I don't quite understand. Since you trust Qi Yue so much and have told him everything about the gold mine, why do you still let me act out this drama? Is it necessary?"

Gao Kejian sighed, "I hope it's not necessary, but I'm afraid it will be necessary. Mingyu, remember, when you see Qi Yue in the future, you must maintain your state today, so that he will think that you sympathize with the rebels and are dissatisfied with Manchukuo."

"I think you're worrying too much. Qi Yue has saved the emperor and executed anti-bandits himself. How could such a person be a spy?"

"I didn't say he was a spy. This is called taking precautions. Being an agent is like this. You can't completely trust even your own people. Especially when you feel that you can't completely control him, you have to be more careful. Do you understand?"

"understood."

Gao Mingyu's eyes were full of admiration.

Gao Kejian continued, "Based on your performance today, in the eyes of the rebels, you are definitely a progressive youth who can be won over. In this regard, their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of a dog. As long as you disguise yourself well, someone will contact you sooner or later. When the time is right, you can be captured in one fell swoop!"

Gao Mingyu stood up: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Gao Kejian motioned him to sit down, and sighed, "I had no choice but to use my own son as bait. Akiyama Yumi is here, and Somekawa Kazuo is coming soon. If I don't handle a few more big cases, I will definitely be ostracized in the future, and I may even be kicked out of the Special Agent Division!"

……

Eight o'clock in the evening.

The snow is still falling.

Yang Feng walked quickly along the street.

Qi Yue followed behind from a distance, ready to repeat the same trick and hand the secret letter to Yang Feng.

Passing by a quiet road, Qi Yue saw that there was no one around and was about to take action, but he suddenly stopped because he remembered what Ning Zhiyuan said: "In this matter, apart from those Japanese soldiers, you and I are the only ones who know about it..."

There is no doubt that if the secret letter was handed over to Yang Feng, the first thing the Binjiang Detachment would do when they returned to Kaoshantun in the future would be to dismantle the explosives. At that time, the blame for the leak would be directly directed at themselves.

For an undercover agent, passing on information at the risk of being exposed is not a wise choice. He should think of a foolproof plan.

While Qi Yue was distracted, Yang Feng waved to call a rickshaw, told the driver the address, and the rickshaw driver drove very fast and soon disappeared into the night.

……

Half an hour later.

Qi Yue came to Isabella. At this time, Hasegawa, an investigator from the Mantetsu Railway, bought a ticket at the ticket office with a rose and rushed into the dance hall.

Qi Yue looked around and saw Ning Zhiyuan's car parked on the east side of the dance hall door.

At this time, Ning Zhiyuan and Meizhen were dancing.

Seeing Qi Yue coming in, Du Juan came forward and asked, "Why are you so late?"

"Chief Gao invited me to dinner. I was delayed for a while."

As Qi Yue spoke, he raised his hand to greet Ning Zhiyuan who was dancing on the dance floor.

On the other side, the white goose dancer Lisa was sitting on a bar stool, posing and flirting with every customer who passed by. When she saw Hasegawa coming over, her face immediately darkened.

Hasegawa smiled widely: "I have been looking for you everywhere, and you are here. Um, these are the roses I bought specially for you."

Lisa said calmly, "I'm sorry to have cost you so much. Roses are very expensive."

Hasegawa rubbed his hands and said, "It's mainly because Binjiang is too cold. Flowers are all grown in greenhouses, so it's reasonable that they're a little more expensive. Miss Lisa, please do us a favor and dance with us, okay?"

"I'm sorry, I have an appointment. Maybe next time. Oh, and thank you for the flowers."

Lisa was lukewarm.

Hasegawa was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do, so he sat aside unhappily.

Qi Yue watched coldly. He could see that Hasegawa must like Lisa very much, but Lisa didn't seem to have much interest in Hasegawa.

Du Juan said, "In Isabella, Hasegawa is a well-known miser. Not only Lisa, but also the dancers don't like him."

"How do you know what I want to ask?"

Qi Yue looked at Du Juan.

Du Juan handed a peeled orange to Qi Yue and said with a smile: "We are partners. If we don't even have this little tacit understanding, what kind of partners are we? Hasegawa is an investigator for the Mantetsu Railway. He is good at drawing maps, but his weakness is lust."

Qi Yue said: "He is lustful and stingy. Women despise this kind of person the most."

"You really understand women."

"It's common sense."

“Where can I learn this common sense?”

“You can learn it in many places, especially in an entertainment venue like Isabella.”

"Why did Gao Kejian invite you to dinner?"

"Money obsessed."

"........."

Qi Yue whispered, "I don't know where he heard the news from, but Liu Wanchun from Liujiabao Village has a gold mine. He wants to send me to Liujiabao to find a way to accuse Liu Wanchun of collaborating with the Communists and force him to give him half of the gold mine."

Du Juan looked around, glanced at Hasegawa who was drinking alone, and murmured, "One is obsessed with sex, the other is obsessed with money. Tonight, we can't avoid the topic of money and sex..."
