Anyone who understands the international situation knows very well that this false state of peace between China and Japan may be broken at any time, all that is needed is a gunshot from anywhere.

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean that you have not caught all the people you mentioned just now? Do you still want to continue kidnapping our Japanese citizens?" The Japanese military officer was also a little uneasy.

The kidnapping of Ning Xin'er was planned by him alone. Man Tie was only following his orders. Of course, Man Tie carried out the specific actions, and he did not intervene.

"There were several people who kidnapped Ning Xin'er that day. We just caught two, and the other criminals are still being arrested." Lu Ming said, and he couldn't help but raise his legs.

"Mr. Lu, this is not allowed. The situation cannot be further expanded. The Nanjing side has also assured me that the adverse effects of this matter will be kept to a minimum. If you don't listen to me, you must listen to Nanjing Please give me an order from your side." The Consul General was a little anxious, beads of sweat were already oozing from his head.

Liu Qiwen smiled and brought everyone Coke on the rocks. She had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the corridor outside the meeting room just now, and she couldn't stop listening to it.

"Mr. Consul General, don't worry. I agree with your point of view. Although China-Japan relations are not normal, it is our common responsibility to maintain the relationship between the two countries. Therefore, I suggest that if you promise me one condition, I will Don't pursue this matter, let your people go, and don't pursue their legal responsibilities." Lu Ming said.

"Oh, what conditions, tell me?" the Consul General asked hastily.

His responsibility is to protect the safety of the Japanese nationals. If Lu Ming's conditions are not too harsh, he may agree.

He really didn't know the details of the kidnapping of Ning Xin'er, and had been kept in the dark. The Japanese military officer cooperated with Dai Li to plan the kidnapping operation, and he didn't notify anyone in the consulate, otherwise Qian Tian would have known about it.

"Release Ning Xiner, a citizen of our country who was kidnapped by you immediately, and everyone is safe and sound." Lu Ming waved his hands and said.

"However, we did not kidnap citizens of your country. This is a serious accusation. If there is no evidence, it is slander. We are going to conduct a diplomatic protest." The Consul General snapped.

"Can I say that without evidence? There is one more thing I haven't complained to your country. Your people Seigoro Ozawa and Yu Yinger led dozens of agents to ambush me on the road from Shanghai to Nanjing. This is an ironclad criminal fact, and I did not pursue it because I considered the relationship between the two countries."

Lu Ming patted the table lightly, but the Consul General was stunned for a moment, and his momentum withered at that moment.

He has already been reprimanded by the Prime Minister for this matter, and the military is also constantly running on him, saying that he, as the consul general, was incapable of managing the Japanese affairs in Shanghai, which led to such a bad incident.

But he was also very wronged in his heart. There are many and complicated forces among the Japanese in Shanghai, how can he manage them?

Needless to say, secret agencies, large and small, even the Manchurian Railway, which is known for its trade in the public eye, is obedient to the consulate general, and the military attache in the consulate is fundamentally independent and does not belong to him.

"Mr. Lu, regarding the fact that you were ambushed by Manchurian people, we conducted a detailed investigation afterwards. It was Seigoro Ozawa who wanted to retaliate against you for personal reasons. Fortunately, no serious consequences were caused. He has already been punished." Severe punishment." The military officer said.

"Mr. Military Officer, it's not like you said that this ambush did not cause serious consequences. They killed two outstanding agents of the Fuxing Society. Isn't this considered a serious consequence? Does it have to kill me to count as a serious consequence?" Lu Ming snapped.

The military attache was speechless. This matter was the Japanese side's fault anyway, that is, China was too weak, otherwise they would have forced them to hand over Ozawa. This group of people should have been tried by the Chinese court.

"We have reached a settlement with Mr. Dai on this matter, so we won't discuss it today." The military attache hesitated.

"What reconciliation terms? Why didn't I, the client, know?" Lu Ming asked sternly.

When Lu Ming was speaking, a flash of peripheral vision, like a sharp arrow, quickly swept across Dai Li's cheek.

"Well, even if we don't pursue the robbery of our military's arsenal for the time being, your country also doesn't pursue the ambush incident." The military attache said.

Lu Ming looked directly at Dai Li, who nodded in shame.

"The arms case was done by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, right? Whether you pursue it or not has nothing to do with our government. This cannot be regarded as a quid pro quo, and I firmly oppose it!" Lu Ming spoke to the military officer, but the blade pointed at Dai Li.

"But everyone knows that the provisional government of the Republic of Korea is protected by your government, and to a certain extent, your country is responsible for what they do." The military attache stated the Japanese government's basic understanding of such incidents.

"But as far as I know, His Excellency Jin Jiu of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, including important members of their government, is still being arrested by your side, right? Is this what you said not to pursue?" Lu Ming asked.

The military officer's face turned red, and Lu Ming exposed the lie to his face.

The Japanese personnel are still searching for members of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, mainly to catch Kim Koo.The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese.

"In addition, as a victim of the highway ambush, even if the Chinese government has reached an exchange with you, I have the right to protect my personal safety. In addition, I am a U.S. citizen, so the U.S. government can protest to you." Lu Ming snorted coldly road.

"Mr. Lu, this is unnecessary. There is no need to bring the US government into the affairs between China and Japan. It will become more and more complicated, which is not conducive to solving practical problems." The views of Japanese diplomats and the military are different. , They are very afraid that the Americans will get in the way.

"I don't want to be like this. Since you guys are still playing hide and seek and refuse to hand over Ning Xiner, then everyone should continue to deal with it." Lu Ming clapped his hands, which meant that the conversation was almost done and he didn't want to continue talking. .

The consul general and the military attache were a little confused. They didn't expect that Lu Ming would keep his secret after the incident, and he still kept the last trump card.

Indeed, Lu Ming is both a Chinese citizen and an American citizen. Although they have reached an agreement with the Chinese government, the American government can stand up for Lu Ming. Americans always like to meddle in such nosy matters.

"What does Mr. Lu want us to do?" The Consul General couldn't sit still.

"I'm a magnanimous person, and I can understand Ozawa-kun's personal resentment towards me, so I don't want to pursue this matter any further. It's the same sentence, put Ning Xiner back, and everything can be written off. If Ning Xiner is released, or if she is harmed, the consequences will be very serious." Lu Ming said sharply.

"However, we did not kidnap citizens of your country." The Consul General said.

"The Consul General has a lot of things going on in advance, and you probably don't know many things at all. You might as well check it out after you go back, maybe you will find something new." Lu Ming said.

"Okay, I will definitely investigate when I go back. If someone really commits the crime of kidnapping a citizen of your country, he will be severely punished by our laws." The Consul General could only say such insincere decent words.

The two left, and Lu Ming and Dai Li also sent them outside the gate, and they didn't go back until they got into the car.

The two went upstairs together, Lu Ming said: "Yunong, on the night of Ning Xiner's disappearance, Yu Yinger pretended to be a staff member at Paramount, did your people really not recognize it?"

Dai Li smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Lu, you also know that my subordinates are not familiar with the people in the Manchurian Operation Group. In addition, the lights were dim at the time, so it's normal that they didn't recognize them."

Lu Ming said "oh" and didn't continue to ask. Dai Li knew that Lu Ming already suspected that he was colluding with the Japanese.

At this moment, Dai Li's heart was flustered. He didn't know if the two Japanese who were arrested knew that he had entrusted the Japanese to kidnap Ning Xin'er.

If they knew and confessed again, then he would be completely involved, and the trouble would be big.

Judging from Lu Ming's method of attacking the Japanese categorically without considering any consequences, if Lu Ming finds out that he is manipulating behind the scenes and directing the kidnapping of Ning Xin'er by the Manchurian Operation Team, he may attack him desperately.

In addition, what is the crime of colluding with the Japanese and kidnapping their own citizens?He also knew very well that he was a traitor.

No one can afford this infamy.If this infamy is confirmed, it is estimated that the committee will also kick him away.

Although Dai Li believed that his original intention was to handle the case, this reason was far-fetched and not sufficient.

"Officer Lu, if the Japanese really did this, and if they are willing to let him back, you really don't plan to pursue it any further?" Dai Li asked tentatively.

"Of course, my goal is for Miss Ning Xiner to come back safe and sound. As long as Miss Ning returns safely, I don't intend to pursue anything. The relationship between China and Japan is too fragile, and I don't want to be charged with destroying the relationship between the two countries." Lu Ming Said frankly.
