It was almost twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock, and that was the official start of the ball, first an hour and a half of a cocktail party, then a two-and-a-half-hour ball, and an end of sixteen o'clock. Of course, as a guest, you can also retire first.

Seeing that there were no more guests outside, Xiao Linghu was about to go back to the hall with Liu Ping, but at this moment, he saw a black Mercedes-Benz car slowly coming from the direction of Shuiximen, and stopped when he arrived at Xiao Mansion.

"And the guests!" Liu Ping told Xiao Linghu, and the two stopped retreating at the same time, and stood at the door to watch the driver's door slowly open.

"It's an Oriental!" Xiao Linghu recognized the car and the driver at a glance, it was the car driven by the Japanese named Hiraoka Cuo and the driver with a meaty face on that rainy day.

The driver didn't glance at Xiao Linghu, and quickly walked to the back door and opened the door.

Xiao Linghu's eyes fell on the car door, and a man with a tall head and a black suit walked out of it. This man is actually about forty years old, he does not wear a hat, and he has a short flat head, which looks very neat. His face is darker, with a kind of health, and his face is very ordinary, if he is not dressed more elegantly, walking on the street, maybe no one will pay attention, just an uncle from the house next door.

At first glance, Xiao Linghu had no good impression of this Japanese, nor did he have a bad feeling, because this middle-aged man did not have a Ren Danhu that made people feel very disgusting at first sight, like other Japanese.

On the other side of the car, there was also a person, but this person was very young, although he was not as tall as Xiao Linghu, he could reach his eyebrows, his body was strong, and his burly degree was no worse than Xiao Linghu. His appearance is dignified, with a straight nose and a wide mouth, especially thick lips, which makes people think that he should be a loyal and trustworthy guy at first sight.

This young man was dressed in a navy blue Zhongshan suit, and if he hadn't come with this Japanese, anyone would have thought that he was also a Chinese.

Of the three people who got out of the car, Xiao Linghu only knew the driver, and it was precisely because of this driver that he knew that the other two people should also be Orientals.

After the man in his forties and the young man got out of the car, they glanced at the Xiao Mansion and walked over to this side, the driver closed the car door, sat back in the car, and did not drive away, perhaps waiting for the next order.

Xiao Linghu couldn't help but be vigilant, thinking to himself, these two Oriental people shouldn't have come to trouble the Xiao family, right? He clenched his fists and prepared for another fight.

The two of them walked to the door of the Xiao Mansion, and the young man walked up to Xiao Linghu with a straight face, looking him up and down.

Xiao Linghu frowned slightly, this young man must be a soldier, only a person who has been a soldier will hold his chest so straight when he walks, just like him.

"Excuse me, is this the Xiao Mansion?" The young man asked Xiao Linghu very politely, he spoke Chinese Chinese quite well, and although he had some elongated and stiff aftertones, he was able to speak so completely.

"Yes!" Xiao Linghu replied, and at the same time asked, "What are you here for?" ”

He remembered Feng Yi who was still thinking about lying on the hospital bed, if it wasn't Feng Yi that night, then it was him who was lying in the hospital. Thinking of the insidiousness of these Japanese, his face involuntarily carried some anger.

The young man watched Xiao Linghu's face change in surprise, and he didn't understand where he had offended this handsome little master. He still took out a business card from his body, handed it to Xiao Linghu, and said at the same time: "We are the Great Japanese Empire, Mitsui & Co. Nanjing Branch, and the one behind is the general manager Mr. Sosuke Ono, and I am his bodyguard Tachibana Jun!" ”

"Mitsui & Co. Nanjing Branch?" Xiao Linghu was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered Su Xianmin's words, this is a pseudonym of the Black Dragon Society in Nanjing, called a trading company, but in fact it is a Japanese civilian spy organization that harms China's interests.

"What the hell are you here for?" Looking at the Chinese characters on the business card, Xiao Linghu asked.

Tachibana Jun said: "I heard that the Xiao family held a drinking party and a dance here, and invited a lot of famous people in Nanjing, and our Mr. Ono has just come to Nanjing, so I want to come and take this opportunity to get to know everyone, I don't know if you can let us in?" ”

His words were a bit chewy, and he said them politely, even if Xiao Linghu wanted to be polite, he couldn't.

Xiao Linghu frowned, and had to say: "We are just a family banquet here, and we invite some relatives and friends to come to the party, and if you don't have an invitation, don't come!" ”

Tachibana Jun smiled and said, "It's better to ask this brother to go and talk to the master, everyone will definitely have to deal with each other in the future, won't the Xiao family do business with us in Japan?" ”

"Good! I'll tell you right now that our Xiao family doesn't do business with the Japanese! Xiao Linghu refused.

Tachibana Jun looked at him stunned, the smile just now also retracted, and asked, "May I ask this gentleman, who are you from the Xiao Mansion?" ”

"My name is Xiao Linghu, and I am the eldest young master of the Xiao family!" Xiao Linghu looked proud.

Only then did Tachibana Jun come back to his senses, and looked at him carefully, but he still didn't get angry, and said, "It turns out that Your Excellency is the son of the Xiao family, no wonder you are so angry!" ”

Sosuke Ono also stepped forward, looked at Xiao Linghu, and said, "Since you are the young master of the Xiao family, then I think we should talk about it better, there are some misunderstandings that cannot be solved without talking!" It's my first time in Nanjing, and I don't want to be an enemy of everyone, I just want to do business with everyone! If you don't even want to listen, I think you might end up losing both! ”

His words are much more ruthless than Tachibana's, and his Chinese is much more fluent than Tachibana's, and if he hadn't known in advance that he was an Oriental, no one would have known that he was not Chinese based on his fluent Chinese.

Liu Ping walked to Xiao Linghu's side and said softly to him: "Let my uncle make up his mind about this matter!" ”

Xiao Linghu thought about it and had to nod.

Liu Ping quickly ran into the building, and after a while, he ran out again, but he put on a smiling face at Sosuke Ono: "Uncle invites Mr. Ono and Mr. Tachibana in!" ”

Sosuke Ono and Jun Tachibana nodded at this time, and the two of them threw a mocking glance at Xiao Linghu at the same time, which made Xiao Linghu so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
