Li Changyu was stunned when he heard Tang Yi's words, "Brother Tang Yi is so sure that there will be a battle between Germany and France?" ”

Tang Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not that there must be a war between Germany and France, but the current situation in Europe has reached a critical point of outbreak, and once it breaks out, it will not only be a war between Germany and France." ”

Obviously, Li Changyu does not have a clear understanding of the international situation.

Li Changyu thought about it carefully and said: "My wife and children have been in the French Concession for many years, and they know how to ...... French to English."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Yi waving his hand, "A large part of Canada uses French, and Brother Chang Yu is still not worried about the language. ”

Li Changyu frowned and looked at the promissory note handed by Tang Yi in front of him, hesitating whether to take it, he was carefully thinking about the risks.

According to Li Changyu's intuition for many years of criminal investigation, he felt that the identity of Tang Yi in front of him was definitely not as simple as the deputy director of the secret service headquarters of the Japanese puppet government.

But the temptation of this promissory note is too great, and the corner of his eye swept the series of zeros above, which really made Li Changyu, who had never seen such a large number, beat his heart faster by half a beat.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, the appetizer has arrived." The voice of a waiter came from outside the door.

Tang Yi frowned, and Li Changyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come in." Tang Yi put the cashier's note on the dining table next to Li Changyu, and then returned to his seat.

When the door was opened by the waiter, Tang Yi said jokingly.

"Let's not be in a hurry, Brother Changyu thinks about it slowly, anyway, a French meal takes a lot of time."

The waiter stepped forward and put on the table all kinds of seafood, small pieces of tender beef, and some dishes that Li Changyu couldn't even name.

After placing the dishes in order, a waiter bent down and looked at Tang Yi respectfully and asked, "Sir, do you have red wine?" ”

Tang Yi nodded, and said while shaking off a small napkin: "Let's go, remember to wake up in the gooseneck bottle." ”

"Yes, sir." The waiter replied.

After all, he has lived in the French Concession for many years, and he is also a detective, so he has naturally seen some of the world, looking at all kinds of tableware in front of him, he accurately found the knife and fork used to eat appetizers.

The knives and forks in this room are all silver.

"The life of a rich man is really rotten...... Li Changyu thought to himself.

It is impossible to say that Li Changyu does not have a trace of envy in his heart, human beings are animals that are tended by desire, and the desire for money and power is innate to human beings.

Thinking of this, Li Changyu looked at the promissory note placed beside him covertly, and finally, he saw the number on it clearly, one hundred thousand, and it was US dollars Li Changyu silently took a breath of cold air in his heart.

Few people can resist the temptation from naked money, and this promissory note has become a beast devouring him in the eyes of Li Changyu.

On the other side, Tang Yi, who seemed to be eating, but was actually secretly observing Li Changyu, saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth that were eating smooth tender beef tenderloin showed a faint invisible smile.

"There are still some ......," Tang Yixin said.

The gooseneck bottle filled with red wine was brought to the table by the waiter, and the red wine in the belly of the bottle was quietly swaying slightly, like blood in the warm light of the glass lamp, exuding an attractive color.

After the waiter poured the red wine into the red wine glass, he respectfully withdrew from the room.

Tang Yi picked up the wine glass and gestured to Li Changyu, Li Changyu hurriedly picked up the wine glass when he saw this, and the two of them were far apart on the wide oak dining table, so they had to nod to each other and drink the red wine in the glass.

After Li Changyu took it, he opened his lips slightly to feel the appropriate acidity in his mouth, and then when the denim melted in his mouth, an indescribable feeling surfaced in his heart.

"It's fucking good to be rich." He said silently in his heart.

After Tang Yi finished eating a small piece of beef, he put down his knife and fork, looked at Li Changyu carefully, and said.

"Brother Changyu, you and I both know that the current Shanghai Tang is too chaotic, and it will not be too long for the concession to remain a paradise in Shanghai, just to occupy the Chinese realm, R's own ambition will not be satisfied."

Li Changyu was silent for a while when he heard this, and he didn't answer, which can be regarded as acquiescing to Tang Yi's statement.

"If Europe is in chaos again, it will be impossible for the concession to maintain its current status, and it will be difficult to send his wife and children abroad at that time, and judging from the speed of these small sums that Brother Chang Yu is holding now, I am afraid that I will not be able to send my wife and son in a few years." Tang Yi said in a calm tone, as if he was stating an established fact.

Li Changyu's brows gradually deepened, he knew in his heart that Tang Yi was right, but he also knew that Tang Yi was tempting him to make a choice.

"I have a question for Deputy Director Tang." Li Changyu finally spoke solemnly.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Tang Yi said.

"What is your role in this?" Li Changyu said.

"Are you sure you want to know? You must know that if you accept the money, shut up and obediently send your wife and children abroad, things will be much simpler. Tang Yi's eyes were fixed on Li Changyu.

Li Changyu was silent for a long time and then let out a loud breath and said: "I'm afraid that just by receiving the money, I will be trembling in whatever I do in the future." ”

Li Changyu is a stubborn person, and many times he has to find out a lot of things before he can feel at ease, which is why he can become the first person in the criminal investigation of the French Concession.

"Does Brother Changyu like the Japanese?" Tang Yi avoided this topic for the time being and asked rhetorically.

Li Changyu shook his head when he heard this, "I don't like it, and it's very annoying, especially annoying." ”

"Well, so do I." Tang Yi said lightly, as if he was saying another inconsequential matter.

When Li Changyu heard this, the pupils of his eyes dilated significantly, "I understand." He said.

Then he smiled bitterly: "Is it too late to regret it now?" ”

"It's late." Tang Yi said it very simply, categorically.

Li Changyu raised his head and sighed: "Alas, obey the order." ”

"You take the promissory note, tomorrow I will arrange a ship to send your wife and children to Canada, Brother Changyu will stay with me tonight, and go with me to arrest Zu Guangping early tomorrow morning, you can write a letter to explain to your wife and children to let them rest assured, and tomorrow I will let people send them on the ship." Tang Yi said as he stood up and slowly walked to Li Changyu's side and said.

Li Changyu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "But I have one condition. ”

"Brother Changyu, please speak."

"I don't want to know what kind of person Brother Tang Yi is, or what kind of things he wants to do, I only obey you, and I don't want to know anything else." He said this in a dry voice, like an old windshield wiper on a car glass that had worn off its rubber on a rainy day.

"Can I understand that you are swearing allegiance to me?" Tang Yi asked.

"Yes, but only to be loyal to you."

"So, I promise you."
