Chapter 749: Capturing Xu Tingjun
Chapter 749: Capturing Xu Tingjun
Shanghai Stock Exchange, City Hall.
Today is January 1941, 1, three days before the Lunar New Year.
The staff of the city hall will start their annual holiday after this day.
Others miss their families more during the holidays, but Xu Tingjun is different. He has no relatives to miss.
In such chaotic times, it is not uncommon to have a few lonely people.
As soon as he walked out of the city hall gate, Zhao Mingquan, the director of the security department, who was waiting at the door, came up and said, "Adjutant Xu, I wish you a happy new year."
"By the way, I have two dim sum coupons from Ho Fu Kee here, please keep them."
A hint of vigilance flashed across Xu Tingjun's eyes, but he did not reach out to take it.
Zhao Mingquan pretended to be angry and said, "Alas, Adjutant Xu, I, Old Zhao, have nothing to ask of you."
"I just happened to have a few extra gift certificates, which were given to me by my subordinates. I can't use them all myself anyway, so I'll give you two."
"Adjutant Xu, why do you have to keep people thousands of miles away?"
Xu Tingjun was stunned for a moment, then took the gift certificate from the other party and said, "Thank you very much, Director Zhao."
"I'm leaving first. See you after the New Year."
After saying that, Xu Tingjun bowed politely to Zhao Mingquan, then left the city hall.
However, he did not see that after he turned around, Zhao Mingquan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Adjutant Xu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future."
Shanghai Stock Exchange, and Fu Kee...
Shanghainese people like all kinds of exquisite dim sum, and Fook Kee is also famous for its various exquisite dim sum.
Moreover, this shop is very famous, and during the Chinese New Year, there are countless people coming to buy gifts.
People from the south are particular about refinement.
Xu Tingjun rode his bicycle through the alleys of Shanghai and soon arrived at the location of Hefu Ji.
At this time, there were not many people queuing, and there were a few wives of officials who were dressed exquisitely in the front.
They were wrapped in thick mink and wore various emerald and gemstone rings on their hands.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is a paradise for the rich, and its supply of various materials is the most complete in the country.
If you are rich, you are living in heaven.
"Mrs. Qiao, I heard that your husband got promoted again?"
"Mrs. Guo, who told you that? My dead man is still like that after being promoted many times."
"Ms. Shen, at such a good age, if she could find a rich husband, her life would be much better in the future."
Miss Shen, as described by several people, is a real beauty, with a cherry mouth, a slender figure, delicate features, and big wavy permed hair, making her look like a movie star.
"Mrs. Qiao, you're making fun of me again." Miss Shen's face flushed a little, and she looked like a ripe apple, which made her even more attractive.
Even Adjutant Xu, who was queuing at the back, couldn't help but take a second look at this.
Miss Shen seemed to feel Adjutant Xu's gaze as well. When the two looked at each other, Miss Shen's eyes were full of smiles and the corners of her mouth were raised, as if she was greeting Adjutant Xu.
Facing such a beauty, Adjutant Xu behaved like a gentleman, responding with a faint smile, as if he had no intention of going any further.
Several wives of officials were chattering away, and soon it was their turn.
Several people took out gift certificates and hurriedly took a bunch of gift boxes. Even Miss Shen who was standing nearby got a lot of gifts.
After checking the gift certificates, the group of people were ready to go back laughing. However, they had too many bags, large and small, in their hands, and they took up too much space.
As the group walked past Adjutant Xu, one of the gift boxes in Miss Shen's hand suddenly fell.
Adjutant Xu didn't think much about it. He picked up the gift box on the ground and handed it to Miss Shen with a smile.
Miss Shen took the gift box from the other party. According to Xu Tingjun's original idea, the other party should say thank you.
But at this moment, Miss Shen grabbed Xu Tingjun's hand and shouted outside, "This is indecent assault! Catch the pervert!"
Xu Tingjun was suddenly confused and didn't react for a moment before more than a dozen men with pistols rushed in from outside.
The group of people rushed in and pressed Xu Tingjun to the ground without saying a word.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am the adjutant of Mayor Zhou of the City Hall, my name is Xu Tingjun."
"I didn't molest the lady. I just helped her pick up the gift box that fell on the ground."
Before Xu Tingjun finished speaking, he heard the leader sneer and said, "I don't care what kind of adjutant you are."
"You are so bold that you even dared to molest Adjutant Shen from our No. 76 Secret Telegraph Office. It seems that you must be a habitual offender."
"Come back to Room 76 with me. I want you to know what will happen if you flirt with Adjutant Shen."
Xu Tingjun's face changed, and he felt that things were not that simple.
"Brothers, did you arrest the wrong person? I want to make a phone call. I want to call Mayor Zhou."
The leader tapped Xu Tingjun's face with his pistol and said, "Call? It won't be too late to call when you survive to get out of No. 76."
"take away..."
The next day, Meihua Building, Joint Transport Department.
Chen Yang was just like usual, looking at the reports sent by his subordinates while making comments with a pen.
This job is getting easier and easier. Now the transportation routes are stable and there is basically nothing to change. All we need to do every day is to send out various materials step by step.
Knock, knock, knock. Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Come in." Chen Yang said without raising his head.
He Yuehua pushed open the office door and said nervously, "Minister, Mayor Zhou is outside."
Before He Yuehua finished her words, a big hand appeared from behind her and pushed her aside.
Mayor Zhou’s angry face suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yang.
"Hey, Mayor Zhou, you are a distinguished guest. How come you have time to come to my transportation department?" Seeing the main guest appear, Chen Yang was very enthusiastic.
Mayor Zhou walked into the office and said coldly, "Minister Chen, you and I are officials in the same place after all. I haven't done anything bad to you for so long, have I?"
"Xu Tingjun is my adjutant. He has always been diligent and conscientious in his work. What grounds do you have for arresting him?"
Chen Yang glanced at He Yuehua who was pushed aside and said, "Secretary He, you go out first."
He Yuehua quickly closed the office door.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Minister Zhou, please be patient. You are my superior. Although I am young, I know the rules of the officialdom. It is a taboo to offend superiors. If the people from No. 76 had not been watching Adjutant Xu for a while, I would not dare to let them do it."
Mayor Zhou's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Adjutant Xu is someone I brought from Jinling. I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with him."
"Minister Chen, I want to know why you arrested him."
Chen Yang's face darkened slightly and he said, "Mayor Zhou, can't you see that I arrested him just to protect you..."
