More than 20 minutes later, the young man in charge of keeping watch outside led an American in his forties, none other than Robert George, the head chef of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai.

Robert George was not very tall, but he was very strong, with big hands and feet, and a bottle of foreign wine in his hand. At first glance, Lin Jiangbei felt that he didn't look like a chef at all, but an American farmer who reclaimed the wilderness in the western cowboy movie.

"Oh, dear Mister Cold!" As soon as Robert George saw Zhang Shixue, he opened his arms and gave Zhang Shixue a solid bear hug, "It's only been a few days, and you look much younger again." ”

Zhang Shixue felt the power coming from Robert George's arms, and grinned an ugly smile, "I also want to thank Mr. George for the box of American ginseng you gave me." No, I've only been brewing tea for two days, and I feel refreshed, and I feel like I can't finish it! ”

"Haha!" Robert George laughed out loud and said, "Mistereng, I warned you a long time ago that if you drink my American ginseng, you will marry two more aunts!" ”

While speaking, Robert George let go of Zhang Shixue, but handed the bottle of foreign wine in his hand to Zhang Shixue, and said: "This time the time is too tight, I didn't have time to prepare any gifts for you, so I took you a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey from the back kitchen, I hope you don't dislike it!" ”

Lin Jiangbei watched from the side and admired again and again, complaining that Robert George looked like a simple farmer, but he was able to work as the head chef of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai for eight years! Not to mention anything else, this extraordinary emotional intelligence alone is not comparable to ordinary people.

Not to mention the Republic of China, an era when China's national strength was extremely weak, that is, in the previous life of Lin Jiangbei, China was already the world's second largest economy, and its national strength far exceeded that of now, but those European and American people came to China and always looked at the Chinese with a high look.

And now, Robert George is working as the head chef at the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, no matter what he thinks in his heart, but at least on the surface, he treats Zhang Shixue as an equal friend, even if the time is so hurried this time, he does not forget to bring Zhang Shixue a bottle of whiskey. And before, he also gave American ginseng to Zhang Shixue.

Not to mention the high and low gifts, but this intention can make Zhang Shixue feel very comfortable.

For a while, Lin Jiangbei couldn't help but feel confident in his heart, and he was looking forward to his next meeting with Robert George.

"Oh, Mr. George, how does this work? Every time you break the bank! Over there, Zhang Shixue was still polite to Robert George.

"Hehe, Mister Cold, it's just a bottle of whiskey, it's not a valuable thing, and it didn't cost me any money. In the words of you Chinese, I took it out of the back kitchen of the Consulate General. Robert George smiled innocently, "If you are polite to me, I think you don't want to think of me as your friend." ”

"How could it be, how could it be!" Zhang Shixue didn't dare to shirk any longer, and hurriedly put down the whiskey, and said in his mouth: "Mr. George, you will always be my good friend!" ”

Robert George smiled and nodded, swept his gaze to Lin Jiangbei, and then withdrew his gaze and asked Zhang Shixue, "Misteleng, where is the batch of cheap flour you said?" Can I take a look at the goods? ”

"Mr. George, that batch of cheap flour is still on its way!" As he spoke, Zhang Shixue used his hand in the direction of Lin Jiangbei and said to Robert George: "Let me introduce you to you, this is Cheng Weilan Cheng's boss." That is, the supplier of that batch of cheap Fuxin brand flour. ”

Lin Jiangbei took a step forward and said to Robert George in English with a smile: "Hello, Mr. George! I have become a slight land, please take care of me in the future! ”

When Robert George was brought in by the young man, he didn't shy away from seeing Zhang Shixue leave Lin Jiangbei in the house, and he expected it in his heart. Seeing this at this time, he immediately took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Lin Jiangbei and greeted warmly: "Boss Cheng, take care of each other, take care of each other!" ”

When Zhang Shixue introduced Lin Jiangbei to Robert George, he had been observing Robert George's expression, seeing that he did not reject communicating with Lin Jiangbei, and also took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Jiangbei, Zhang Shixue's heart finally put it in his stomach.

"Mr. George, Boss Cheng," Zhang Shixue said, taking advantage of the opportunity of Robert George and Lin Jiangbei's handshake, "I still have some things to deal with over there." As for how to trade this batch of Fuxin Pai flour, the two of you will discuss it slowly here. If there is something that needs me to communicate and coordinate, Boss Cheng will call me next door, and I will come over immediately, what do you two think? ”

Lin Jiangbei naturally had no opinions, this was originally the plan he discussed with Zhang Shixue. Let Lin Jiangbei come forward to communicate with Robert George directly, and Zhang Shixue can not only reduce Zhang Shixue's suspicion, but also invite Zhang Shixue to play a round if it really comes to the point when Lin Jiangbei has no way to talk to Robert George.

So it's up to Robert George's opinion. If Robert George was unwilling to communicate with Lin Jiangbei alone and had to let Zhang Shixue stay, then Zhang Shixue would definitely have to stay in the end.

Fortunately, Robert George did not rule out communicating with Lin Jiangbei alone, and after listening to Zhang Shixue's words, he nodded and said, "Mistereng, you should be busy, just go with your go!" Don't worry about my side. Boss Cheng's English is so good, I think I should be able to communicate with him happily! ”

Zhang Shixue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and went to the next door, leaving only Lin Jiangbei and Robert George in the room.

Lin Jiangbei asked Robert George to sit down on the chair, and then he sat down opposite Robert George, and then said to Robert George: "Mr. George, I'm sorry, I lied to you before, I'm not a businessman who sells Fuxin brand flour, I just came here, I have another thing I want to ask you!" ”

Robert George laughed and said, "You don't have to be sorry about this, of course I know you're not a flour merchant." As for what else you want to ask me, I don't want to know for the time being, what I want to know most now is your true identity as the boss, I don't know if you can introduce it to me openly and honestly? ”

Lin Jiangbei had expected this. As the head chef of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, Robert George will definitely have his own principles, and it is impossible to arbitrarily agree to cooperate with Lin Jiangbei for the sake of a little benefit without knowing Lin Jiangbei's true identity. Especially after Lin Jiangbei saw Robert George's super high emotional intelligence, he was even more firm in his previous judgment.

"Mr. George," Lin Jiangbei said, "my real identity is an agent of the Chinese government's intelligence services, but please rest assured, Mr. George, that what I have asked you to do will not harm your American interests." On the contrary, the U.S. government has always been the most sincere and reliable friend of the Chinese government, and as agents of the Chinese government's intelligence services, we have always paid great attention to maintaining the sincere friendship between China and the United States. ”

"Oh? Agents of the Chinese government's intelligence services? Robert George frowned and groaned. Although he is only the head chef of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, he has served in a unit like the Consulate General for more than eight years, so he is naturally no stranger to the U.S. government's policy toward China. Of course, I know that the US Government has always held a strong attitude of support for Mr. Chang Kaishen, who is currently in power in the Nanjing government.

The intelligence department under the Chinese government has been developed and strengthened by Mr. Chang Kaishen single-handedly, and there is no conflict of interest with the US government, on the contrary, there is still a certain degree of mutual cooperation. So when he heard that Lin Jiangbei admitted that he was an agent of the Chinese government's intelligence agency, he was relieved.

If Lin Jiangbei had been an agent of the Manchukuo side, or had been an agent of the Japanese side directly, the situation in front of him would have been a different situation.

"But how can you prove your identity as an agent of the Chinese government's intelligence services?" Robert George glanced at Lin Jiangbei, and his face was as rough and dark as a farmer in the wilderness, which didn't match the ease in his heart at all.

"Hehe," Lin Jiangbei laughed and said, "Mr. George, it's very simple to know my identity, you just need to make a verification call to the reconnaissance team of the Shanghai Songhu Garrison Command." It's just that I don't think there's any need for you to make this call, Mr. George, because it's better to hear what I'm going to ask you to do and then decide whether to make this call or not. ”

Robert George's rough big hand rubbed the rough and blue stubble on his chin for a long time, and then said, "Okay, you talk about it first, what are you going to ask me to do for you?" ”

"I heard from the storekeeper Leng and said Mr. George, you have been working at the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai for more than eight years?" Lin Jiangbei did not talk about what he wanted Robert George to do, but instead raised another question.

"That's right! To be exact, say eight years, three months and seven days! Robert George replied.

Lin Jiangbei was happy again. The fact that he remembers his working hours at the Consulate General in Shanghai so clearly shows that Robert George not only has a good memory, but also has a different kind of attention than he looks. This was very helpful in helping you find the American mole hidden in the headquarters of the 4th Expeditionary Force of the United States Marine Corps.

"Then Mr. George must have a very clear understanding of the changes in the personnel in the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai?" Lin Jiangbei continued to ask.

"That's what you say?" Robert George smirked, "It's not that I'm bragging to you, if you talk about the changes in the personnel of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, I'm afraid Mr. Consul General is not as clear as I am." ”

"That's it!" Lin Jiangbei nodded and said, "I would like to ask Mr. George to help us recall whether there is such a person who used to work in the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, but now holds a position in the U.S. Marine Corps Fourth Expeditionary Force Command." ”

"What are you investigating this?" Robert George suddenly raised his guard again.

"Because when we were tracking down a Japanese intelligence organization, we got a clue." Lin Jiangbei replied: "The clues indicate that there is a Japanese mole hidden inside the US Navy. Based on our further investigation, it was determined that the Japanese mole in the U.S. Navy was likely to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps Fourth Expeditionary Force Command, and had previously worked at the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai. ”

"Why don't you communicate with our Consul General or directly with the Fourth Expeditionary Force Command for this important clue?" Robert George asked solemnly.

"The main concern is that this is a fake news revealed by the Japanese intelligence organization, and that our rash communication with you, Mr. Consul General or the commander of the Fourth Expeditionary Force Command, without real evidence, will only destroy the friendship between China and the United States, and add unnecessary obstacles to the continued cooperation between the two countries in intelligence in the future!" Lin Jiangbei replied: "So we want to find out the authenticity of this clue through private investigation first." If it is true and reliable, hand over the relevant evidence and clues to your Consul General or the command of the 4th Expeditionary Force of the United States Marine Corps! ”

"If it turns out that this clue is a false clue and is a smoke bomb deliberately released by the Japanese intelligence organization, then there is no need for us to report to your consul general or the command of the 4th Marine Expeditionary Force, so as not to waste their energy."

"I see!" Robert George nodded. The reason given by Lin Jiangbei can also be said. As for whether this is really the case, Robert George undoubtedly delved into it. After all, he is just a chef in the Consulate General, not an intelligence agent, as long as he can guarantee that it will not cause damage to the fundamental interests of the United States, and he can reap some benefits from the middle, then why should he be this rafter?

"Boss Cheng, that is to say, if I provide this information, it is even important enough to influence the cooperation between Chinese and American intelligence organizations?" Robert George laughed, like a cunning old farmer squatting on the side of the road in the vegetable market.

"Yes, it does!" Lin Jiangbei nodded honestly.

"Then what benefits are you going to pay me, Boss Cheng?" Robert George said, "You have to know that anyone else you go to the Consulate General besides me will be willing to help you or not." Even if you are willing to help you, it is impossible to provide accurate information like me. ”

"Mr. George, make your own offer!" Lin Jiangbei said with a smile, "What price do you think will allow you to reveal this news to me?" ”

Robert George frowned and thought for a while, then stretched out five fingers to Lin Jiangbei and said, "Five big yellow croaker!" ”
