Chapter 19
The next day, Le Figaro.
"Geng, I'm glad you're back." Mr. Fillo leaned back in his chair and smiled.
"Mr. Fillo, I don't know what you mean." Geng Chaozhong stood opposite Fillo, his face full of doubt.
"Yes, yes, we had some misunderstandings, but I've looked into it, you just came to Paris a week ago, and besides, I don't have to worry too much about an Asian. So, please forgive me for my presumptuousness. Mr. Fillow replied with a smile.
"So?" Geng Chaozhong asked tentatively.
"Of course, you're still my assistant," smiled Monsieur Fillow, "and besides, I'll give you a special allowance of fifteen francs a week, how about it?" ”
"Well, thank you, Mr. Fillo, I am amazed by your generosity," Geng Chaozhong complimented him appropriately, "but can you tell me why?" ”
"I'm sure, the German law against the Jews is not within your reach, and you must have deduced the news by other means," Filo said with regret on his face, "Actually, the logic you said is correct, since the Germans want to attack the Jews, it is only a matter of time before this kind of law is introduced." ”
"Thank you, and if you need anything, please feel free to ask." Geng Chaozhong nodded and sat down in his original seat.
"Geng, I'm curious about your profession in China," Mr. Fillo said enthusiastically today, "according to your keen observation, your position in China should not be low, right?" ”
"Mr. Fillow," Geng Chaozhong smiled at Fillow, "I am in fact an associate editor of a newspaper in China, but for some other reason I had to come to Europe, so I am still grateful for your acceptance. ”
"Let me guess," said Mr. Fillow, narrowing his eyes, "because of the persecution of cultural people in Nanking?" ”
"Yes, you're half right," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "but the more important reason is that I had an inseparable relationship with the wife of a high-ranking government official, so I ......."
Geng Chaozhong spread his hands helplessly.
"Haha," Fillo laughed, "Geng, this kind of thing is not a big deal in our France, and in our case, that high-ranking official will only throw a white handkerchief at your head for a duel between men." ”
"Yes, I also think it's shameful to oppress others through power," Geng Chaozhong shrugged, "so I came to France." ”
"Okay Geng, you can use your talents here to your heart's content," Fillow smiled, "I mean, you can write whatever you want, and as long as you're forward-looking, I can even give you a column." ”
"Thank you, the last thing I lack is foresight." Geng Chaozhong smiled conceitedly.
"Mr. Fillow, may I have a gentleman named Charles Geng here?" The newspaper gatekeeper poked his head in.
"Yes, I am." Geng Chaozhong stood up.
"There's a lady Lolita looking for you." The little guy said.
"Oh?" Geng Chaozhong and Mr. Fillo's faces became serious.
.........
There was a luxury carriage parked in front of the newspaper office, which was quite rare on the streets of Paris, where cars had long been popular, and the cost of raising the most expensive Chevrolet car was not as high as raising two famous horses. Only the wealthiest and most fashionable upper-class aristocrats would maintain this way of traveling.
"Please get in the car." The coachman who carried the whip said angrily.
Geng Chaozhong jumped into the car and got into the carriage - a very large and luxurious carriage, which could accommodate four people sitting opposite each other, and the interior was extremely luxuriously furnished, in addition to embroidery from the French court, you could even see a green pearl of the night.
And in the deepest part of the carriage, sitting is naturally Mrs. Lolita, whose name has been heard for a long time, but she has not seen it.
It's just that this veiled lady seems to be a little familiar.
"Mr. Charles, have you had a good time at the newspaper?" The noblewoman spoke.
"Swallows?" Geng Chaozhong's mouth opened wide.
This voice, this figure, who else could there be if it wasn't a swallow?
A "giggle" laugh came, and the "Lady Lolita" in front of her lifted her veil, and sure enough, it was a swallow.
"You're Lady Lolita?" Geng Chaozhong helplessly looked at the graceful and dignified swallow in front of him.
"Of course, don't I feel like that?" The swallow tugged at the hem of her skirt and made a charming gesture.
"So, your previous husband ......." Geng Chaozhong seemed to understand something.
"He's very old, and he has heart problems, and he just needs a little tricks......." Swallow smiled slightly.
Geng Chaozhong's pupils shrank, and he shuddered a little - this Cheka agent, who is only 18 years old and has a cute code name like "Swallow", is undoubtedly an out-and-out beautiful snake!
"You seem to be a little scared." Swallow's smile is still innocent.
"Nope." Geng Chaozhong shook his head and denied it.
"With me, do you feel like you're holding a cold poisonous tongue in your arms?" Yanzi looked at Geng Chaozhong with a smile, and accurately said how Geng Chaozhong was feeling now.
"No, I 'enjoyed' that feeling." Geng Chaozhong laughed self-deprecatingly, maybe this is the real agent, compared to it, Xiangzi is just a harmless pet.
"Geng, you don't need to worry," Yanzi seemed to see through Geng Chaozhong's thoughts, "My fangs will only face the enemy, and you are my dearest comrade-in-arms." ”
"It's your 7,500 francs." Then, Yanzi handed over a check, "The previous check, I have already done the processing, this is a BNP Paribas bond, you can exchange it anywhere in Europe." ”
"Thank you." Geng Chaozhong took the bond back into his arms.
"Bledsoe went to Edmund." Swallow continued.
"Uh, I understand." Geng Chaozhong pursed his lips.
Edmundo already knows Bledsoe's identity, and I'm afraid he will also suspect Swallow's body, and from this point of view, Edmundo is already a person who must die.
Geng Chaozhong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - White Russia was the enemy of Soviet Russia, but it was not his enemy, on the contrary, Edmundo was a very interesting friend.
"Geng, this is our life........" Swallow pointed to the door of the carriage:
"It's time for you to leave, and good luck with Mr. Fillo. And let's not forget, Mr. Fillow is our most important prey. ”
"Yes, Mr. Fillow is our most important prey." Geng Chaozhong nodded, turned around and left the carriage.
