Chapter 165.
“Cheng Tan, there’s a letter for you!”
“My letter?”
Cheng Mo froze, these days, it’s strange to have someone write to you, especially knowing that you’re in the Old Gate Patrol Office.
The letter was actually sent from Tokyo, the font on the envelope was familiar, and when he opened it, small, elegant characters greeted him.
“Cheng Mojun: Seeing the words, when you stepped onto the ship returning home and waved at me, my tears could no longer stop flowing ……”
This is a love letter, it is written to the original self, the letter writer is a Japanese girl’s, her name is Chiyoko.
Is Cheng Mo in Waseda University study mentor’s youngest daughter.
In fact, before returning to Japan, Mr. Morita Hideo had proposed to him to stay in Japan and marry his youngest daughter, Chiyoko, and change her name.
But Cheng Mo refused.
He resolutely set foot on the ship to return to his home country. What he wanted was not a happy personal future, but a sense of responsibility for the country and the nation that he shouldered.
Even if he changed his name, married Chiyoko, and inherited everything from his mentor in his career, would he be able to live happily ever after? No, he would live under his mentor’s shadow for the rest of his life and would not be happy.
He knew that Chiyoko liked him, but he never gave her a chance, above this point, Cheng Mo was really sober on earth.
He knew that to give her hope would be a form of cruelty, if there was no war, the old Cheng Mo might have married Chiyoko.
Now emotionally, he can’t accept it.
But at the end of the letter, Cheng Mo froze, he felt the source of his unease, Chiyoko had actually come to Shanghai.
Looking at the date of the letter, it was mailed half a month ago, and now, it is very likely that she is already on the ship to Shanghai.
This is really a not-so-small trouble.
Who disclosed the information about his specific address in Shanghai to Chiyoko in Japan, and how did they know about his relationship with Chiyoko ……?
The key matter how to explain to Su Moer.
Concealment often leads to more unpredictable consequences, so Cheng Mo decided to confess at the first opportunity when he got home.
Come what may, the relationship between him and Chiyoko was innocent anyway.
Couldn’t they still do anything to him because of this?
What Cheng Mo didn’t know was that at this moment, the ship Nagasaki had already arrived at Wusongkou, and Chiyoko Morita was on this ship.
On the pier, the personnel of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai had been waiting for a long time.
They were here to pick up Chiyoko.
Chiyoko had already joined the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs for half a year, and now she had secured an opportunity to come to Shanghai on an official mission as the consulate’s confidential secretary.
With her family lineage, obtaining such a position was a very easy thing to do; another person might not reach that height in their lifetime.
“Ms. Chiyoko!”
“And you are?”
“My name is Ono, Officer Shimizu asked me to pick you up.” The Japanese man named Ono, an employee of the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, bowed and saluted to introduce himself.
“Trouble you, Ono-kun, Uncle Shimizu is also too polite.” Chiyoko handed her luggage to the other party.
“Miss Chiyoko, Officer Shimizu has opened a guest room for you at the Reicha Hotel, so you can stay here first, take a rest, and enjoy the local customs of Shanghai ……” Ono drove the car while introducing and explaining the precautions of traveling in Shanghai to Chiyoko. Tiantong Road Food Court – Inoue Public House.
Inside a secret room on the second floor.
Nojiri was kneeling on the floor, his forehead next to the ground, trembling and sweating like rain, across from him, Inoue Nichiaki, dressed in a suit, was full of gloom, his eyes sweeping over like a viper.
Inoue Taro was also there, he knelt on the left side of Inoue Nichiaki, a gloomy face, Inoue Public House since its inception, the biggest loss.
The Blue Clothes Society had actually struck without warning, and the moment they did so, they had severed his tentacles that had reached into the Concession.
It hurts like hell.
One must know how much effort he had expended for these tentacles, these small children, who had been nurtured for at least three years or more.
The children were collected and trafficked through the Zodiac Society, then secretly trained, and then these people were sprinkled in to take advantage of the massive influx of refugees into the Concession at the time of the Songhu War.
These people then became given to them to gather all kinds of intelligence within the Concession as well as surveillance tracking and investigating certain information that he wanted to need to know about the mission.
It can be said that he was able to grasp many situations in the Concession in a timely manner, and the credit of this “dog team” is huge.
He gave Nojiri the task of being the center of contact for the dog team, and he was counting on the team to be able to build up his success in the future.
As a result, it was actually given a clean bill of health by the Blue Coat Society.
The only person who knew the contact information and list of these people was Nojiri, of course, Nojiri was only responsible for the contact, but he didn’t know how these people moved and where they lived.
Therefore, to say that Nojiri had leaked, unless he had all the addresses of these people clearly, otherwise, to put the blame on his head, it was really a bit wrong.
But now it is clear that the “dog team” has been exposed, then Nojiri’s identity must also be exposed.
Blue Coat Society intentionally left Nojiri did not move, what is the meaning of this, is it because Nojiri is a Japanese, move Nojiri, will cause the rent of the Ministry of Public Works Bureau of dissatisfaction?
A Japanese man died in the Concession ……
Inoue Nichiaki’s gaze drifted up, was this a good opportunity? Inoue Taro received the message in the eyes of Inoue Nikiaki, Nojiri made such a big mistake, the man can not be kept.
But a dead man has to die a worthy death.
In the evening, Cheng Mo drove to pick up Su Moer, first to go to the French Concession’s Su public house to eat dinner, the two people go back at night and then cook, it is a little late, Jiang Liyao called them over to eat and then go home.
Sometimes, also go to the sister Cheng Hua side dinner.
On the contrary, after the marriage, this sibling is walking a little more diligently, he and Cheng Hua’s sibling relationship, there is nothing to hide.
Returning home in the evening.
Cheng Mo took the initiative to surrender Chiyoko’s letter and confessed his relationship with Chiyoko, beyond friends, but lovers yet.
Perhaps if he had stayed in Japan, that might have been it, but he didn’t, and now that he had started a family, naturally, he wouldn’t think twice about it.
“Chiyoko is a good girl, originally I thought I wouldn’t cross paths again in this life, I didn’t expect that she actually came to Shanghai, to be honest, I don’t know how to face her.” Cheng Mo said.
“Did she come to you?”
“I just received a letter from her, according to the date, she should have boarded the ship that came to Shanghai, I don’t know when the ship she took arrived, I think if she really came to me, I want the two of us to treat her to a meal, so that there is some closure.” Cheng Mo stated his heart’s intention.
“She’s your teacher’s daughter, are you just going to stop seeing each other in the future?” Su Mo Er asked.
“Normal communication only.”
