"It's a bad thing. Sato Taro, Mitsui Industrial's Shanghai Office, suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage yesterday and died at the Jing'anji Branch of Fumin Hospital!"

"The cause of Taro Sato's death is unknown, and the police station will not file a case!"

"The death of the robber Sato..."

"Sato's death, murder?"

"Is the disappearance of textile king Xi Hongwei's family related to Sato's death?"

"It is an acquisition that is obvious, but it is actually a snatch. Is Mitsui Industrial's acquisition of Hongwei Company really a so-called win-win cooperation between China and Japan?"

“…”

"A robber was so angry that he failed to steal other people's things. This world has subverted my perception..."

Since the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they have waved their swords and guns, and have been plundering the Chinese business in Shanghai.

As long as the Chinese-funded enterprises (Chinese world) are attracted by the Japanese, no one can withstand the powerful intimidation of the other party.

The Japanese military and military-affiliated forces in Shanghai have embezzled Chinese assets. Even some ordinary Japanese use the power of robbers to bully the Chinese and plunder the property of ordinary people.

Now, the robber is suffering.

This is an extraordinary thing.

The next morning, newspapers in the concession reported that Japan's Mitsui Industrial was conspiring to embezzle Hongwei Company and went bankrupt.

Even some of the contract terms were exposed.

Of course, there are also the dirty things Mitsui Industrial did behind the scenes to embezzle Hongwei Company, especially through the navy's intentional accident, dragging Hongwei Company's ocean-going freighter transporting seed cotton raw materials to Gaolong, Taiwan, and releasing false news about the shipwreck.

This caused Hongwei Company to plummet in the stock market, and the stock price was not worth a penny, so they bought at the bottom at a low price.

This is just an example of Japan plundering Chinese national capital industry and commerce by abnormal commercial means, but this is enough to wake up those who are still dreaming.

"Xi Hongwei's family is missing, and their whereabouts are unknown..."

Once such explosive news was exposed, it shocked the entire Shanghai people engaged in industry and commerce.

The Japanese have never played with the Chinese using abnormal business methods. They have seen this. Xi Hongwei's disappearance is definitely a conspiracy!

Sato is dead, and Xi Hongwei's family is gone.

Such a connection is terrifying to think about it carefully!

Which of the industrial and commercial masters in Shanghai, especially the Chinese, does not feel sad about the death of a rabbit? Today is Xi Hongwei. Will it be their turn tomorrow?

After a day of fermentation, public opinion in the entire concession and even Shanghai has arisen, and even news agencies in Chongqing and Britain and the United States have paid attention to and reported on this matter.

Japan's robbery behavior in Shanghai could not be suppressed at all, and the whole world knew about it.

There are even news that European and American companies in China are being seized by the Japanese army, and with this trend, they are exposed, regardless of whether it is true or not.

Anyway, Japan's reputation in the international community has become bad again this time. In the eyes of Westerners, countries like the Japanese that do not follow business rules are simply barbarians and are not worthy of calling them civilized countries. They are even worse than China with backward technology.

Japan instantly felt the malice from the international community.

This malice will be reflected in their diplomacy and foreign trade, while for Japan, its resources are scarce and requires a large amount of imports.

He couldn't breathe after someone stuck his neck a little.

This is easy to go to extremes for an arrogant and inferior nation.

For Lu Xiyan, how to use this matter to maximize interests is what he needs to consider, and he has not considered other things, such as the escape of national capital industry and commerce in Shanghai, a large amount of funds fleeing Shanghai, going to Hong Kong, and even Chongqing, the southwest.

This is something he did not expect. Objectively, these funds have a considerable effect on the war of resistance, which is a later story.

The purpose of his launching this public opinion war was, first, to shift the Japanese's attention from Sato's death, second, to smear these Japanese companies in China, remind the Chinese people, and also tell the Chinese people that obedience to Japan will not end well, and they will only become more severe.

Now it looks very effective.

Public opinion is sometimes more effective than guns and cannons.

Knife and gun can kill people, but words can kill people!

...

In the morning, after breakfast.

"Sir, Xie Xiaochu is not at home, either she has run away or she hides it." Yan Lei reported, "I didn't expect this guy to be quite slippery."

"Didn't you send someone to monitor him?"

"Yes, but he lives next to Lin Shiqun and is not easy to monitor. This guy should have slipped away from the back door after taking on the night and putting on makeup." Yan Lei explained.

"It's okay if he ran away. Even if he was found by the Japanese, he couldn't explain clearly even if he was covered in his mouth." Lu Xiyan snorted coldly.

"That's right. If he didn't run away, the Japanese might not doubt him. Now he ran away, and he was in the hospital when Sato died. Even if the Japanese believe that Sato was not killed, I'm afraid he wouldn't let him go." Yan Lei said with a smile.

"It's better to make him disappear."

"Yes, sir."

...

Xie Xiaochu is a complete traitor businessman. To put it bluntly, he is helping the evil and supporting him with the Japanese. He is nothing, but such a person is the worst, because he cheated his own people and did not care about his compatriots at all.

Such people are often more hateful than invaders.

"Haozi, Mengyao lives at home these days. Do you know?" Lu Xiyan put on her coat and prepared to go to work, and explained to Meng Hao who came out of the room.

"I understand." Meng Hao agreed.

"I must remember it for me. I can't let Mengyao leave our house, nor can anyone know." Lu Xiyan reminded me.

"Don't worry, I know the right way."

"Meimei, hurry up, you're almost late for class."

"Here, come..."

Today Lu Xiyan drove to take Meng Fanxing to school and then went to the hospital to work. Xi Mengyao was unable to go to the hospital for the time being, so he came in person for everything.

...

As soon as he arrived at class, Lu Xiyan called his four students over and arranged a day's work, asking Cheng Cheng to temporarily serve Xi Mengyao as a temporary assistant for several days.

Then, I patrol the room and issued a doctor's order.

"Teacher, I arranged a surgery for you this afternoon. It didn't take long, about two hours, because I really couldn't arrange it. If there was no problem with the emergency department, I could get off work half an hour early today..."

"Well, I understand. It seems that you have been familiar with this job for the past few days with Mengyao. I am still worried that Mengyao will leave. Who will serve as an assistant for me? I think you are the only one, how about it?" Lu Xiyan said.

"I will be your assistant, where is Sister Mengyao?"

"Something happened at her family and she can't come to the hospital to work for the time being." Lu Xiyan said.

"Oh, that's it, then I want to do it for her and wait until she comes back." Cheng Cheng said.

"Okay." Lu Xiyan nodded.

He was busy until eleven o'clock, and Lu Xiyan found a chance. He sat down and planned to drink a sip of water. After opening his mouth, the water in the teacup had already been cold.

Cheng Cheng is not his special assistant. Unlike Xi Mengyao, he always follows him and serves him.

So, from now on, he has to come to some things himself.

For example, make tea.

I poured out the cold tea, made some tea leaves, and lifted the kettle to be about to pour water when a knock on the door rang out.

"Come in."

"Oh, Chief Tang, why did you come here today? It's not so good that you feel uncomfortable?" Lu Xiyan just brewed the tea and saw Tang Jin with a frown face, and asked in surprise.

"The arms matter is gone, I have a fight with Lu Jinshi." Tang Jin sat down and said, "Is there any water? I'll take a sip?"

"I just soaked..."

Tang Jin picked it up and drank it.

"Oh, you want to burn me to death!" Tang Jin took a sip and sprayed it out directly.

"I said, I just took a look, didn't you hear me?" Lu Xiyan said innocently.

"Forget it, I won't drink it." Tang Jin put the cup on the table in anger.

"Fen is missing, Andre and the Inoue Hall are looking for people all over the world." Tang Jin said, "Lu Jinshi, I didn't take Fen's attention, and a living person disappeared like this."

"Fenn was not under house arrest by Andre, how could he disappear?"

"It's strange. The day before yesterday afternoon, the bar opened its doors and suddenly it had a sign of "inventory" and it was not open for an afternoon. Later, there was news that the people in the bar, including Andre, were fainted by others. Fein and his daughter Anna were gone, and Fein's home on Lu Ban Road was almost evacuated at the same time." Tang Jin said.

“Empty?”

"Yes, no piece of paper was left, all moved away."

"This is not a small project. Fei's home has many machinery and equipment, which can be regarded as a small mechanical workshop." Lu Xiyan said.

"Who said no, but it seems that it was planned for a long time, otherwise it would not have been done so cleanly." Tang Jin nodded.

Of course, it was planned for a long time. The machinery and equipment in Fein's home are nothing to others, but for the New Fourth Army, which is short of guns and cannons, they are all treasures.

He had contacted Zheng Mao. This batch of machines happened to set up an ordnance repair center for the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan. It could not make guns and cannons. It would be good to repair damaged guns.
