Now that the sincerity of the Japanese has been demonstrated, do you accept their overtures?

Ten million dollars are in front of him, within reach, to say that Xu Yan is not moved, it is impossible. Fortunately, he is still a little sober and knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

He asked, "Minister Hashimoto, Miss Yasuharu, what do you want—uh, I'm talking about the Japanese government?"

An Qing Zhizi said softly: "Xu Sang, we have always been very concerned about Miss Zhu Youxiang's whereabouts, but in the last meeting, we were reckless in our words and made you angry, but please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of this matter, this matter is very important to us, and we have to ask again: If Xu Sang can tell us Miss Zhu's whereabouts, then we will be very grateful! Xu Sang, please!"

Xu Yan couldn't help frowning: Why are these Japanese so brainless, why are they so entangled in Zhu Youxiang's affairs?

"Miss An Qing, why do you repeatedly inquire about Miss Zhu's whereabouts and pay so much attention to her?"

An Qing Oriko translated Xu Yan's words, and the Japanese obviously hesitated, and they all turned their eyes to the leader Hashimoto Ichiro, who thought about it expressionlessly for a while, and then chattered for a while-before An Qing Oriko translated his words, Huang Xi had already translated his words to Xu Yan: "Mr. Hashimoto said that the reason why they are looking for Miss Zhu is not convenient to disclose now, please forgive Xu Sang." ”

Xu Yan yawned: "Isn't it convenient to make it public? Since it's inconvenient for you to say it, I can't force it -- then, while it's still early, let's go back to our respective homes for lunch." ”

Seeing Xu Yan stretching his waist and making a gesture to get up, the faces of several Japanese suddenly changed drastically -- with the precedent of the last time, no one doubted that Xu Yan could really do such a thing as leaving immediately.

At the last meeting, the Japanese envoy already knew that Xu Yan's style of acting was very different from that of ordinary Chinese officials, and that he had no regard for diplomatic etiquette and rules, and that he would slam the door and leave if he disagreed. Therefore, in order to appease Xu Yan's temper, as soon as this meeting began, the Japanese side offered a heavy temptation of tens of millions of dollars, hoping that Xu Yan could give a good face for the sake of silver.

But no one expected that in the face of the 10 million US dollars at his fingertips, this Chinese soldier was not moved at all, his attitude did not soften in the slightest, and he was still so arrogant!

Hashimoto Ichiro's face was anxious, he said a few words quickly, and An Qing Oriko immediately translated: "Xu Sang, please stay a little - although the reason why we want to find Miss Zhu is to be kept secret, but you are the honored guest of our country, and you are different." Would you please sit down for a moment and let us discuss?"

Several Japanese stood up and bowed respectfully to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan was about to get up and leave, but the Japanese bowed in unison like this, and his attitude was very respectful, and he was embarrassed to turn his face immediately. He sat back in his seat and said with a grin, "Then you should hurry up and discuss, I still have important matters, but I can't delay it too long." ”

"Hey, Xu Sang, I'm sorry for your trouble!"

A few Japanese bowed deeply, and they rushed out to the door to discuss.

Xu Yan, Huang Xi, and Qi Nan also left the conference room and came to the other side of the corridor to rest. Looking at the cityscape outside the corridor window, Xu Yan exhaled deeply: "Whew, it's so tiring to negotiate this thing!"

"Yes!" It was Qi Nan who answered Xu Yan, she walked over and stood side by side with Xu Yan: "Director Xu, I have an idea, and I don't know if it's right: I think that since we deal with the Japanese together, then we should be comrades in the same trench, don't you say?"

"Director Qi, what you said is very true. ”

"Hehe, in this case, we should have at least a tacit understanding with each other, and it is important to strengthen information communication. ”

Qi Nan paused, and she looked at Xu Yan seriously: "Director Xu, for example, the focus of the dispute between you and the Japanese - that Miss Zhu Youxiang, there is no information about her in the homework we did in advance. According to what the Japanese said, this Miss Zhu, she used to accompany you to Japan, may I ask, who is she? Is she a soldier of your intelligence department?"

Xu Yan shook his head: "Zhu Youxiang, she is not from our intelligence department. ”

Qi Nan's eyes were blazing: "Then, why did she go to Japan with Director Xu, and why did the Japanese pay so much attention to her?"

Xu Yan was used to being asked a lot, and he replied lightly: "Miss Zhu is my personal friend, and she went to Japan with me to travel, and it was completely a private tour. As for why the Japanese care about her, Director Qi, maybe, you can ask the Japanese later?"

Faced with Xu Yan's obviously nonsense suggestion, Qi Nan actually thought about it seriously for a while, and then, she shook her head and sighed: "I guess the Japanese are afraid that they won't tell me." ”

At this time, Huang Xi greeted: "Director Xu, senior sister, the Japanese have returned to the conference room." ”

So, I hurriedly ended the discussion and returned to the conference room, where the Japanese were already sitting in front of each other.

"Mr. Hashimoto, Miss Yasuharu, I wonder what the result of your discussion is, can you tell us about it?"

"Hey!" The Japanese came out to answer, and it was still An Qing Zhizi: "Xu Sang, Director Qi, Miss Huang, we have just asked the country for instructions, and we have been authorized: Regarding the reason why we want to find Miss Zhu, the country agrees with us to disclose it to Xu Sang." ”

Xu Yan pouted: "Actually, you don't have to say it-to be honest, I really don't have much interest in your affairs." ”

"Hey, I'm sorry, Xu Sang, I'm sorry for your trouble. After An Qing Zhizi lowered her head, then she didn't speak, just quietly watched the people on Xu Yan's side.

The two sides looked at each other quietly for half a minute, and then, Qi Nan asked in surprise, "Miss An Qing, why don't you speak?"

An Qing Zhizi bowed her head respectfully, and she said, "I'm sorry, Director Qi, according to our domestic authorization, we can only reveal the inside story of this matter to Xu Sang...... We are not authorized to reveal the inside story of this to anyone else. ”

After a few seconds, Qi Nan reacted, and she said in surprise: "Miss An Qing, can it be said that you can only tell Director Xu, not us?"

"I'm very sorry, but that's what the country has given us—I'm sorry!"

Rao is Qi Nan is a very experienced diplomat, but she has never experienced such a strange situation at all, she said in surprise: "But, Miss An Qing, this is completely out of order, this is a foreign affairs activity between our country and your country, there is no reason why you have to contact Director Xu alone...... I've never seen anything like it!"

"Director Qi, this is not a formal diplomatic activity, this is just a private communication between the two sides. Besides, it wouldn't be rude for us to privately reveal some information about our side to Director Xu of your country, right?"

Qi Nan was speechless for a while-An Qing Zhizi was right, this was a private communication between the two sides, and it was not a very formal foreign affairs meeting. It is their freedom to reveal information to whomever the Japanese want, and it seems that they have no reason to interfere.

But she still felt that this matter was really strange, and there was a bad smell in it, and she said in a deep voice: "But, Miss An Qing, after you reveal the information to Director Xu, he will still report to the organization, in this case, your secret will still not be kept!"

An Qing Oriko nodded in agreement: "Well, Director Qi, you are very right. If Xu Sang wishes, it is indeed possible for him to relay the information we have revealed to him to you - this is Xu Sang's freedom, and we will not interfere. ”

"What does it mean to be possible? That's definitely and it has to be!"

Qi Nan said sternly: "Mr. Hashimoto, Miss An Qing, you must be clear about one fact: Director Xu is an intelligence cadre of our People's Liberation Army, he is subject to military discipline, and the information he obtains in foreign affairs activities will definitely be reported to the superior leaders and organizations, and there will be absolutely nothing to hide - Miss An Qing, I don't know what you are thinking, but if you want to test our Director Xu, then you have made a mistake!"

After saying that, Qi Nan turned his head and looked at Xu Yan very seriously: "Director Xu, I said this, do you think?"

Xu Yanmuran nodded: How could he not know that this was Qi Nan's warning and reminder to himself? He asked, "Miss An Qing, can you only tell me your news alone?"

An Qing Zhizi nodded solemnly: "Yes, Xu Sang!"

"Why? You know, I don't promise to keep it a secret for you after you tell me!"

Several Japanese people sat upright, and An Qing Oriko said solemnly: "Xu Sang, whether to keep this secret or not is up to you to decide." The order given to us at home is that we can only tell you the news -- whether to accept it or not is up to you to decide. ”

Xu Yan was silent, he looked at the confident An Qing Weaving in front of him, and in the depths of her eyes, Xu Yan saw a fearless confidence. As a result, Xu Yan was puzzled and curious: What exactly did the Japanese master? Why were they so arrogant? Why were they so confident that they must be interested in their news?

Could it be that what information does the Japanese have that they do not know about, which is related to their major interests?

Xu Yan thought about it for a long time, and in the end, he shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "Miss An Qing, I'm sorry: as Director Qi said, I am an officer of the People's Liberation Army, and I must abide by military discipline and foreign affairs discipline. I'm sorry, but I can't contact you alone. If you insist on that, then this is the end of today's meeting. ”

Hearing Xu Yan say this, several Japanese were silent. Then, Ichiro Hashimoto looked at Xu Yan with blazing eyes, and he said a few words in a neutral manner, Xu Yan didn't know what he was talking about, but as soon as Ichiro Hashimoto said this, Qi Nan and Huang Xi both faces changed greatly.

Qi Nan stood up without hesitation, and said very harshly to Hashimoto Ichiro, but the latter didn't look at Qi Nan at all, just stared at Xu Yan intently, and said again in a frustrated manner, and then, Qi Nan spoke loudly and hurriedly, looking quite angry.

The conversation between them was in Japanese, and Xu Yan couldn't understand it at all. He asked Huang Xi, "Huang Xi, what did Section Chief Hashimoto just say, why did Director Qi look so excited?"

Hearing Xu Yan's inquiry, Huang Xi's face was embarrassed, and she said vaguely: "It's nothing...... Nothing special......"

"Well, I'll translate for you, Director Xu. The person who spoke was An Qing Oriko, and she said calmly: "Just now, Section Chief Hashimoto said that he doesn't understand why a person with extraordinary abilities like Xu Sang, is willing to be ordinary, and is satisfied with just serving as a second officer in your army-I'm sorry, Mr. Hashimoto has no intention of despising it, but he feels that compared to Xu Sang's ability, a low-level bureaucrat position like a section chief is not worthy of Xu Sang's ability at all. A superhero like you deserves the respect and admiration of the whole country, and no matter what country you are in, you deserve the highest level of treatment at the same level as the head of state.

Mr. Hashimoto said, "Xu San, you have personally visited our country, and you have seen with your own eyes the prosperity and prosperity of our country and the living standards of our people. Compared with your country, Japan is at least 20 years ahead in all aspects. If you are interested, our country can provide you with better treatment, a better life, more privileges, and an environment that can give full play to your abilities. In our country, you will have the privilege of becoming a superhero in the eyes of the world, accompanied by flowers, glory and beauty - I hope you will carefully consider our sincerity. ”

At this time, Huang Xi interjected, and she interrupted An Qing Zhizi: "Director Xu, just now, Director Qi solemnly expressed his protest to Mr. Hashimoto, Mr. Hashimoto tried to lure our country's soldiers to defect, this kind of remark is obviously not in line with the status of a diplomat...... Director Qi warns that if Mr. Hashimoto or any of you talk about this kind of topic again, this meeting will end immediately, and there will be no second meeting!"

An Qing Weaving: "Miss Huang, you are serious. We just reminded Xu Sang that he still has the opportunity to choose another life - I have heard that your country is a free country, and people are free to choose the life they like. In this case, Xu Sang also has such rights, doesn't he?"

Huang Xi said angrily: "Miss An Qing, please be cautious! If you say this kind of thing again, this meeting will end here!"

Huang Xi was arguing with An Qing Oriko, Qi Nan was protesting to Hashimoto Ichiro in Japanese, listening to the chirping and arguing in the conference room, Xu Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted in a low voice: "Enough! Do you still want to talk? If you want to talk, just talk about the right thing, if you don't want to talk, go home for dinner!"

was drunk like this by Xu Yan, and the noise finally stopped.

Hearing Xu Yan's voice, several Japanese immediately stopped, their expressions calm, as if the quarrel just now did not exist at all. An Qing Zhizi got up and bowed to Xu Yan: "Xu Sang, I'm sorry, we were rude just now......"

Xu Yan waved his hand: "Miss An Qing, I know what you mean! But I am a soldier in Huaxia, and I clearly say that I don't like Japan, and I can't join you! This kind of remark that is easy to cause misunderstanding and hurt the relationship between the two countries, let's not talk about it anymore! It's not too early, I say, let's get to the point as soon as possible!"

In response to Xu Yan's categorical refusal, several Japanese people looked calm and did not show their disappointed Angzi -- Xu Yan's reaction was also expected by them. They didn't really expect to recruit Xu Yan at one time, but just let Xu Yan know the attitude of the Japanese government.

An Qing Zhizi said in a deep voice: "Hey, Xu Sang, here, I must remind you that our next conversation is likely to involve Xu Sang's personal affairs...... Perhaps, it would be more convenient for us to meet alone?"

Xu Yan thought to himself that these Japanese people were really ignorant: in this case, how could Qi Nan and Huang Xi still let themselves meet with you alone?

He said impatiently, "There's no need for that. I don't think there's anything unpleasant between me and you -- so, Miss Anqing, everyone's time is precious, so please get to the point as soon as possible, okay?"

"Hey, since Xu Sang asked for it......"

An Qing Zhizi took out a white envelope from his leather bag: "There is some information here, please take a look at Xu Sang, okay?"

Xu Yan took the envelope, he opened the envelope, and took out another stack of photos. Xu Yan glanced twice: in the photo, it was a brightly lit urban night scene, in the background of the alternating light and dark city, a huge monster was roaring angrily, its bloody mouth opened, and it roared at the sky. Behind the monster was an exploding flame, a crashing helicopter gunship.

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes: "This ...... It looks like a monster incident in Ginza, Tokyo, right? This is a picture from that time?" he looked at it twice more and asked hesitantly, "This must have been taken from a nearby tall building, right?"

An Qing Oriko bowed her head and said: "Hey! Exactly! Xu San's eyes were like torches, and he was right--this is a photo taken by a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun hiding on the roof of a six-story department store in Ginza's Nimachi, and two cameramen hid on the roof of the building and filmed the course of that night's events -- including the ravages of monsters and the defeat of the Self-Defense Force's army fleet. Unfortunately, the Nimachime department store was later hit by a monster and collapsed, killing both journalists. Rescue teams searched the rubble and found the bodies and cameras of the two journalists...... Fortunately, the photos in the camera were not damaged and most of them were preserved. ”

Listening to An Qing Zhizi say calmly, Xu Yan was also expressionless, but he had already vaguely guessed in his heart what the other party would say to him next.

Sure enough, Ichiro Hashimoto took the initiative to reach out his hand, he took the stack of photos on the table, found a few photos, and then pointed out, showing that these were more important photos. Xu Yan picked up the photo and looked at it twice: in the photo, it was Zhu Youxiang, who was confronting the monster.

In the photo, Zhu Youxiang's face looks hazy, but she can still see her figure and silhouette clearly.

Xu Yan asked casually, "Is there anything wrong with this photo?"

"Xu Sang, do you have any impression of the woman in the photo who is confronting the monster, does it feel familiar?"

"I'm not impressed - what do you mean by showing me this picture?"

"Hey, Xu Sang, we thought that you should be very familiar with the person in this photo...... Don't you feel that the woman in the photo is very similar to your friend Zhu Youxiang?"

Xu Yan pretended to look at the photo again, and said in surprise: "Like Zhu Youxiang? How can you see it? I don't think it's like it at all." ”

Obviously, Xu Yan's denial is also expected by the Japanese. An Qing Zhizi flipped through the photos and found a few more photos: "Hi Yi, Xu Sang, maybe that photo is not very clear, please look at these photos, this is much clearer, I can already see Miss Zhu's face——"

She said politely: "The woman in the photo, her appearance is very similar to Miss Zhu - rude, we have done a test with image software, and compared the facial features, body curves, and body proportions of the woman in this photo with Miss Zhu's other photos, and found that all aspects of the data are highly consistent."

Our experts believe that there is a 99% probability that the mysterious woman who confronted the monster in Ginza that night was Xu Sang's friend Miss Zhu - here is our argument report on the photo processing, please Xu Sang, we have translated it into Chinese. ”

An Qing Zhizi respectfully handed over a document report with both hands, Xu Yan took it, turned a few pages, and saw that it was full of images and data, demonstrating Zhu Youxiang's height, waist circumference, head-to-body ratio, leg-to-body ratio, shoulder height ratio and other proportional data.

Xu Yan looked at this report and actually laughed out loud: If Zhu Youxiang was still here, knowing that her body data such as her height and measurements were all studied by the Japanese as data for scientific experiments, what kind of expression would she show? She should be ashamed and annoyed, right? Isn't it okay, she will fly to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and blow down the building of the Metropolitan Police Department with a sword?

Seeing Xu Yan laughing, everyone present was unsure why, An Qing Zhizi asked politely: "Xu Sang, may I ask: Is there any error in our report? ”

Xu Yan smiled and shook his head: "No, I just thought of some funny things-let's be honest, I can't understand this report of yours, I just want to know, what do you want to do with such a single-minded desire to find Zhu Youxiang?"

Seeing that An Qing Oriko wanted to speak, Xu Yan waved his hand and made a pause gesture: "I know, you took the mysterious woman who appeared in Ginza, Tokyo that night as Zhu Youxiang, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding." However, let's assume first, if the woman that night is indeed Zhu Youxiang, why are you in such a hurry to find her?"

As soon as Xu Yan said this, the faces and expressions of several Japanese people suddenly softened a lot -- China and Japan both belong to the East Asian cultural circle, and many obscurities and tacit understandings in their cultures are the same. Although Xu Yan still flatly denied that the woman was Zhu Youxiang, he was already willing to assume that she was Zhu Youxiang, which meant that the other party was willing to admit that further communication and exchanges on the basis of this fact - compared to Xu Yan's previous stubborn denial, this was a great improvement.

"Xu Sang, if, as you said, Miss Zhu is the mysterious woman of that night, may I ask, Miss Zhu, is her real identity a special staff member of your country's intelligence department? Is she a soldier of your country?"

Xu Yan said lightly: "This, Miss Zhu's identity, I have nothing to say." ”

An Qing Zhizi was not surprised by Xu Yan's refusal, and she immediately took it: "Then, we hope to meet Miss Zhu in person and express our gratitude to her." ”

"Huh, thanks, what's this for?"

"Xu Sang, combined with the live broadcast of TV Tokyo at that time and the battle records of the Self-Defense Force Army Aviation Regiment, we can be sure that when the attack of the Self-Defense Force Army Aviation Force failed, it should be Miss Zhu Youxiang who finally injured the monster and destroyed it!

Miss Zhu bravely took action to eliminate the murderous monster that wreaked havoc in our capital, saved tens of millions of our Tokyo citizens, and helped our country avoid huge economic losses -- such kindness would be too much to say if we were not grateful.

For this reason, the Government and Your Excellency the Prime Minister have asked us to come to your country to meet Miss Zhu in person and express our gratitude in person -- in any case, please also ask Xu Sang for help so that we can express this heart to Miss Zhu in person! Several Japanese officials also stood up, bowed to Xu Yan, and shouted, "Please!"

Bowing to the Japanese in front of him, Xu Yan sat firmly and accepted calmly - the other party was grateful to Zhu Youxiang for helping Japan eliminate the monster, and now, Zhu Youxiang has left this world, as the closest friend to Zhu Youxiang in this world, and as Zhu Youxiang's disciple, Xu Yan feels that he is fully qualified to accept this great gift from the Japanese.

But receiving a great gift from the Japanese, this does not mean that Xu Yan has to agree to the request of the Japanese, he smiled and said: "Mr. Hashimoto, Miss An Qing, you are in a hurry to find Miss Zhu, I'm afraid it's not just to thank you, right?

An Qing Zhizi was very surprised: "Xu Sang, haven't we already said it? We are entrusted by our government and His Excellency the Prime Minister, and we hope to express our gratitude to Miss Zhu for her help to our country in person......

"These words, Anqing Oriko, you better stop, I don't know, you Japanese still have such a virtue as knowing grace. Everyone is not a child anymore, what do you want, you should open the skylight and say something. (To be continued.) )
