Seeing these two pieces of news, Mr. Jiang was about to go mad, scolded Xipi, tore up the newspaper and threw it on the ground, and stepped on it a few more times.

"Mother Xipi, these foreigners are actually interfering in China's internal affairs. Do they really think I'm easy to mess with?"

Standing beside him was Mr. Zhang Wenbai, who brought the newspaper.

"Commissioner, please calm down. Although Lu Ming is a cadre of the Fuxing Society, seriously, he is an American citizen first, and a special correspondent for the Washington Post. He was arrested. The United States took this opportunity to cause us some trouble. That's normal too."

"Did Lao Sheng call you? What did he say?" Mr. Jiang knew Sheng Youde's personality too well, and he knew that this call would definitely come sooner or later.

"Mr. Sheng called me last night. He said that if there is a problem with the Sheng family, just check with the Sheng family. If there is a problem with Lu Ming, just check with Lu Ming. But in the end, he will give him a satisfactory explanation. If he is not satisfied He will not let it go.”

Zhang Wenbai has been the liaison between Mr. Jiang and Sheng Youde for some years, and some things are not suitable to be said directly to the other party, and they are all passed on through Zhang Wenbai.

Sheng Youde and Zhang Wenbai are called brothers. Although the two are friends of gentlemen, they have very similar ideas and similar interests. Especially when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, such as the nation and the country, they appreciate each other's ideas.

"Mother Xipi, the foreigners are making troubles, and the Chinese are not stopping. Everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they all come to force me." Mr. Jiang yelled loudly.

"Committee, since we asked Lu Ming to come to Nanjing to cooperate with the investigation, why should we detain him? Let him move around in Nanjing casually, and he won't run away. Instead, he will be imprisoned there." Mr. Wen Bai tactfully Persuade.

"I want to lock him up for a few days to kill his temper. You don't know that this kid looks gentle and elegant, dressed like an English gentleman, but in fact there is a lawlessness in his bones, can't you see it? A person cannot become a master without training." Mr. Jiang said.

"You are kind, but other people don't think so. There are rumors in the outside world that we have secretly arrested Lu Ming and will send him to a military court for trial."

"Rumors are all rumors." Mr. Jiang waved his hands again and again.

"It's a rumor, but the people never listen to official news. They just like to believe rumors. People's words are terrible. In this case, we might as well release Lu Ming and let him travel freely between Shanghai and Nanjing. He needs his cooperation. Let him come to Nanjing by himself, so that the rumors will be self-defeating." Mr. Wen Bai said.

"No, he has to be locked up for a few days. It's not too late to release him until his problems are thoroughly investigated." Mr. Jiang said stubbornly.

"Is there really something wrong with Lu Ming? There is something wrong with him. The American spirit of freedom and looseness has penetrated into his bones, but I feel that it is absolutely impossible for him to communicate with each other. I can guarantee this." Mr. Wen Bai said solemnly. .

"Wen Bai, you are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, so it is easy to trust others. Although everyone says I am too suspicious, if I have doubts, I won't be able to sleep well if I don't understand it." Mr. Jiang said.

Mr. Wen Bai smiled wryly. He also knew why Mr. Jiang was suspicious. It was because of the last time the Cao Gang smuggled arms and all the arms were sold to the Communist Party.

What happened last time, Mr. Jiang originally wanted to investigate to the bottom, but at the end of the investigation, three important figures were found, one was Zhang Wenbai, the other was Sheng Youde, and the third was the head of the German military advisory group.

Mr. Wen Bai is his confidant, and he is also someone he can't bear to deal with. Sheng Youde and the head of the German advisory group are people he can use. In the end, he can only let it go, but the knot in his heart has not been untied. .

After the Cao Gang's arms smuggling case happened, Mr. Jiang checked the files repeatedly, and found that this case was Lu Ming's favorite.

Sheng Youde, Zhang Wenbai and the head of the German advisory group behind this matter were just playing with him, as if they were coaxing a naughty child, but Lu Ming played a little seriously, he went too far .

If you follow Lu Ming's style of play, it is very dangerous to go on, and one day you will go to the opposite side.

From this time on, Mr. Jiang had a slight suspicion of Lu Ming.

Later, in the "[-] Songhu Anti-Japanese War", Lu Ming performed well, and then successfully planned the explosion in Hongkou Park. Mr. Jiang was very happy, and he meant to use Lu Ming again. Come from your own power center.

According to Mr. Jiang's thinking, if Lu Ming is obedient, sooner or later he will become a character like Zhang Wenbai and He Zhonghan.

In order to let Lu Ming know his intentions, Mr. Jiang was generous to the extreme, directly conferring the rank of Major General, the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun, and a post of Major General Advisor to the Military Committee.

At that time, his doubts about Lu Ming were dispelled, and he felt that he was indeed too suspicious.

But this big arms case made him more suspicious of Lu Ming, and the trace of suspicion that had disappeared was also continuously enlarged. The combination of the two made him suspicious of Lu Ming even more.

"Isn't there a reasonable explanation for Lu Ming's suspicious points? I have read Dai Yunong's investigation report, and the analysis is very good." Mr. Wen Bai said.

"There are so many things that happened to Lu Ming, each of which has a reasonable and perfect explanation, which is wrong. There is no such perfect thing in life. If there is, it must be designed by someone." Mr. Jiang explained road.

"Commissioned seat, humble and stupid, I really can't understand what you mean." Mr. Wen Bai said with a wry smile.

"Wenbai, you always speculate on others with good intentions and trust others easily. Of course you can't understand what I mean. But I hope you are right, that's the best." Mr. Jiang sighed.

The two were talking, when suddenly heavy footsteps came from the corridor, and then the voice of the guard outside the door was heard: "Dean Wang, please wait a moment, let us report first."

As soon as the guard's voice fell, followed by a few babbles in Cantonese, the door was already pushed open by someone, obviously the person came with a lot of strength.

Mr. Jiang and Zhang Wenbai looked at the door in surprise, only to see Mr. Wang walking in aggressively.

Mr. Jiang hurriedly stood up, with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Zhaoming, why are you here in person, just call if you need something."

Mr. Wang came in without saying a word, pointed at Mr. Jiang's nose and said angrily: "The surname is Jiang, I just asked what you mean? Why did you secretly arrest Lu Ming?"

"Brother Zhaoming, I didn't arrest Lu Ming. Something happened. I asked someone to take him to Nanjing to cooperate with the investigation." Mr. Jiang said.

"You said it wasn't an arrest, so why did you put him under house arrest in a hotel? I know the reason, isn't it because I like Lu Ming and treat him to a meal? Your eyes are as big as a pinprick, and you can't see me Be nicer to Lu Ming, and just lay hands on him?"

Mr. Wang yelled loudly, not caring about Mr. Jiang's face at all, and it was really hard to shout in Cantonese.

"Dean Wang, it's not what you said, you may have misunderstood." Mr. Wen Bai hurriedly persuaded.

"Wen Bai, you are a good person, so you don't know Mr. Jiang's character. How did Mr. Jiang start his career and how he became the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, do you know? Where was he when I followed Mr. Zhongshan in the revolution? , do you know?" Mr. Wang was so angry that his head was sweating, and he didn't bother to wipe it off.

"Brother Zhaoming, don't worry, speak slowly if you have something to say, and I'll tell you the truth after you finish." Mr. Jiang restrained himself and said calmly.

"Stop talking, I know you want to kill a chicken for the monkeys to see. Let me tell you, I, Wang Zhaoming, am not a monkey, and Lu Ming is not a chick. Lu Ming is someone I like. If anyone wants to kill him Black hand, pass me first."

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, without waiting for Mr. Jiang's response, he turned around, slammed the door and left.

Mr. Jiang was so angry that his hands trembled and he couldn't say a word. He grabbed the porcelain jar on the table and threw it out.

Then his face turned purple, his body swayed, his eyes darkened, and he fainted.

Mr. Wen Bai had sharp eyes and quick hands, supported Mr. Jiang, and then pinched Mr. Jiang's man with his middle finger.

"I'm going to see a doctor." A guard said.

"It's too late, go to my office and get the bottle of brandy in the drawer." Mr. Wen Bai shouted.

"But you don't drink when you sit down." The guard was confused.

"Never mind this, drink it as medicine!" Mr. Wen Bai shouted.
