Agents of the Republic of China

Chapter 173 Tang Shengming and Xu Lai

Sasaki categorically agreed to Lin Xiaotang's proposal. On the one hand, because of his own purpose, Sasaki really needs a lot of money to handle his own affairs; He was very clear that the reason why Lin Xiaotang offered to cooperate with him was because he took a fancy to his identity. This was a naked, naked use.But he was completely attracted by the bait he threw. In Sasaki's eyes, it was a ticket to go home.

After discussing some details, the two made an appointment to plan in detail at another day. After that, the relationship between the two seemed to suddenly develop by leaps and bounds. Sasaki waved at Lin Xiaotang, "Mr. Lin, regarding the cooperation between the gendarmerie and you, we will It's convenient for me to come forward, but I thought of a suitable candidate. She will come with me today. You can meet with me, and you will handle the specific matters in the future. In addition, there is a distinguished guest who just came to Shanghai. You can also Let's get to know him, he will be a high-ranking and powerful man next time, so we have to make friends with him!"

Lin Xiaotang readily agreed, and he was able to negotiate a cooperation with Sasaki in this extremely boring reception, and his mood became better. Of course, he couldn't refuse Sasaki's kind invitation.

The two passed through the crowd and came to a lounge in the corridor at the back of the hall. There were four people standing in front of the door. Their backs were straight. It looked like they were soldiers, but they were obviously divided into groups of two and two, and they seemed to be at odds with each other. , staring at each other with eyebrows and vertical eyes, as if they would fight at any moment.

Sasaki reprimanded two of them, and the two subordinates bowed down to apologize, while the other two continued to hold their heads high. Even Sasaki didn't pay attention to them, and they still kept their posts and didn't look sideways.

Sasaki was not angry, he gently opened the door, and beckoned Lin Xiaotang to go in together.The two immediately stopped them, indicating that Sasaki could enter, but Lin Xiaotang could not.

Sasaki was taken aback, and immediately said in Chinese: "This is my friend, can't you go in too?"

The two men showed expressions on their faces, and just stretched out their hands to stop them, "I'm sorry, for the safety of the commander, no strangers are allowed in!"

The people in the room heard the commotion in front of the door, and someone immediately greeted them, but they were taken aback when they got to the door, but then they hid their surprise and nodded at Sasaki, "Your Excellency!"

As soon as Lin Xiaotang raised his head, he froze in place.

Lin Xiaotang's expression made Sasaki very surprised, "Why, do you know each other?"

Before Lin Xiaotang could answer, Haneda Sora, who was wearing a white cheongsam and had curly hair permed, spoke first, "Uncle Sasaki doesn't know, Mr. Lin is my savior, and he was still my fan when he was in Nanjing! "

Lin Xiaotang settled down, but still kept a surprised expression on his face, "Miss Duan, I didn't expect to see you here!"

The narrow expression in Haneda Sora's eyes was fleeting, and he hurriedly let the two of them into the room.This time, the two men did not stop them.

There is also a man and a woman in the room. The man is about 35 or 30 years old. His hair is neatly combed. He is of medium height. Dressed in a beige cheongsam, she has a graceful figure and exudes an irresistible grace.

When the two saw Sasaki coming in, they stood up quickly. Sasaki was also very polite to him, let Lin Xiaotang come over, and said to him: "Mr. Lin, this is General Tang Shengming, the former deputy commander of the Changsha Garrison, and his wife. Famous movie star Ms. Xu Lai (Note [-])!"

Lin Xiaotang's heart trembled. He heard Shen Zui mention this person just now, but he didn't expect to meet him so soon.

Lin Xiaotang hurriedly greeted him. Tang Shengming looked at Lin Xiaotang with a complicated meaning after listening to Sasaki's introduction.

Haneda Sora took Xu Lai's arm affectionately and sat aside, and said to Sasaki flauntingly: "Uncle Sasaki, I finally got Ms. Xu's autographed photo today."

Sasaki sat down and smiled, his eyes revealed a look of kindness, pointing at Haneda Sora, "I asked you to come to guard General Tang and his wife, not to use public affairs for personal gain!"

Sasaki patted Lin Xiaotang's arm, "I heard that Lin Jun was her fan before?"

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "I have admired Ms. Duan's singing voice for a long time, and I often listened to it when I was in Nanjing, but later, Ms. Duan came to Shanghai to develop, and I never had the good fortune to hear Ms. Duan's singing voice again."

Saying that, look at Haneda Sora, Haneda Sora's face is reddish.

Sasaki laughed loudly, "Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry, Duan Yuran was just a pseudonym back then, and Meiya was also carrying out the mission of the empire. In fact, she is an officer of our Shanghai Gendarmerie. She was recently transferred from a high school job, and now she is working with me, her real name is Haneda Sora, and she is also a lieutenant officer of our gendarmerie!"

"What!" Lin Xiaotang jumped up from the sofa with a look of surprise on his face, and his face suddenly turned a little pale. This appearance made Haneda Sora, who had been somewhat resentful towards him, burst out laughing unconsciously.

Sasaki made a gesture and turned his face, "Meiya, why are you laughing, you have kept Mr. Lin from it for so long, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lin."

Haneda Sora came out with a smile, and stretched out his slender hand like white jade. Lin Xiaotang pretended to be flustered and held both hands, constantly expressing fear, but his fingers secretly scratched Haneda Sora's palm inadvertently.

Haneda Sora hastily withdrew his hand.

Only then did a few people get down to business.Sasaki introduced to Lin Xiaotang that after Tang Shengming came to Shanghai this time, the Nanjing government and the Japanese side attached great importance to it, and had ordered the Shanghai Gendarmerie to fully protect the safety of the couple. It has been stated that the Ministry of National Defense has a vacant seat waiting for Tang Shengming's arrival.Therefore, once Tang Shengming arrives in Nanjing, he will definitely be reused. After all, he is one of the most senior generals in Chongqing, and his elder brother Tang Shengzhi is a prince who once dominated one side. have a great impact.

Tang Shengming praised the award again and again, indicating that he came to Shanghai this time because he had no choice but to do so. His brother Tang Shengzhi's status in Chongqing has been greatly inferior in recent years, and he has been squeezed out many times. In desperation, he resigned and brought his wife to Shanghai. Settling down, he did not expect Nanjing to really value it so much, which moved him so much that he resolutely decided to go to Nanjing to work for Chairman Wang.

Sasaki admired him again, and mentioned Lin Xiaotang during the period. Lin Xiaotang also lost no time in getting close to Tang Shengming. Tang Shengming's attitude towards him seemed polite and almost indifferent, but the name mentioned in the words was not Lin Xiaotang's heart tightened, because the name he mentioned was clearly "Wang Sheng".

Lin Xiaotang was a little skeptical, and when he got it, it was said that there was still some kind of connection between this Tang Shengming and Wang Sheng. Judging by the way he spoke, the name was hurriedly mentioned and did not attract the attention of others, but Lin Xiaotang clearly saw the light in his eyes. A flash, and the unconscious tapping of fingers.

Time passed quickly, an hour passed, and the reception was about to come to an end. The music of the dance outside had already started, and the following was the entertainment program for the participants.

Sasaki strongly invited Tang Shengming to go out to dance to a song, and repeatedly guaranteed the safety of tonight. Tang Shengming and his wife could not be too cautious, and nodded in agreement.

Sasaki called Haneda Sora to stop, and ordered other people to guard Tang Shengming and his wife tightly, and called Lin Xiaotang, and said with a smile: "Meiya, brother Kawakami entrusted you to my care, you don't like staying in the special high school, I will promise you to transfer you out. I have mentioned the matter to you before. Mr. Lin is the partner I mentioned. You are the person I trust the most. I will give full authority to contact Mr. Lin in the future. You. In this way, it is more convenient for you young people to talk, and Mr. Lin is still your fan, which is perfect. Let’s go out and dance together, and decide the cooperation in these two days. This is the task I entrusted to you !"

Sasaki's feet were already a little vain, and Tang Shengming and he had been drinking a lot just now, so he simply handed over all the affairs to Haneda Sora, and fell on the sofa dizzy, intending to rest for a while.

Lin Xiaotang winked at Sora Haneda, stretched out his hand, "Miss Haneda, please!"

Haneda Sora looked at her angrily, and the two went out together.

When we arrived at the hall, the lights had been replaced with colorful lights and shadows, illuminating the entire dance floor dimly and blurredly, and the embracing figures were intertwined in this ambiguous environment. For a moment, Haneda Sora's breathing became a little rapid.

Taking a peek at Lin Xiaotang, Haneda Sora found that he was looking at him with a smile all the time, so he couldn't help but lightly bumped his waist with his elbow. Lin Xiaotang immediately screamed exaggeratedly in pain, and then embraced Haneda Sora's slender The waist slid onto the dance floor.

"Why did you apply for a transfer from a special high school?" Lin Xiaotang asked softly.

Sora Haneda shrugged her cute nose, "I don't like it, it's that simple!"

"Is that bastard Yazawa Shinichi trying to trick you again!"

Haneda Sora raised his head, and looked at Lin Xiaotang with both eyes without flinching, "Mr. Lin, it seems that you have a girlfriend, don't you think this question is a bit redundant? Who wants to pursue me, that is his freedom, you are Who am I, do I need you to take care of me?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled embarrassingly, "Look, look, I'm angry again! I really didn't expect what happened that day, so I apologize to you, okay?"

Haneda Sora glared at her, "No need, you'd better go back and coax your girlfriend!"

"Hey, come one by one, sooner or later it will all be mine!" Lin Xiaotang laughed unscrupulously.

"I hate it! Why are you so thick-skinned!" Haneda Sora felt that he was full of powerlessness in front of this man. His words and smiles could easily defeat his defense line. Could this be the so-called evil fate?
