Chapter 44: Negative Wishes
Since Yu Lin was arrested in the army's secret service, Lu Yixiang contacted a number of business tycoons, hoping to bail Yu Lin out with some way, but most of the replies he got were that he couldn't talk to the Japanese and couldn't get anything to do with him. Lu Yixiang knows that now he can talk to the Japanese, and unless he is a traitor, he is ashamed to be in the company of a traitor, so he is at a loss for a while.
Seeing that day after day passed, Ruqin washed her face with tears every day, and her voice was hoarse; Shuxian didn't dare to be sad in front of her parents-in-law, but she hid in the room alone and secretly felt sad and burst into tears; Lu Yixiang is also on pins and needles, his heart is like a mess, Lin'er fell into the hands of the Japanese, how those demons will torture Lin'er, Lu Yixiang can't imagine that it is imperative to save Lin'er from the hands of the demons as soon as possible.
In the end, Lu Yixiang decided to go to Mayor Dai Yitao.
Dai Yitao and Lu Yixiang once studied in Europe together, and the relationship between the two has always been good, and they even wanted to form a family of children and daughters, but later Yulin and Shuxian fell in love, and Mrs. Lu loved the knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous Shuxian, so this matter was over, although the children's in-laws were not done, but Lu Yixiang and Dai Yitao's friendship was still there, and the two families often visited the door. But since Dai Yitao became the mayor of the puppet government in Guangzhou, Lu Yixiang and Dai Yitao have been separated, and the intersection between the two is getting less and less. If it weren't for his son this time, Lu Yixiang would not have stepped into Dai's Mansion half a step.
Lu Yixiang waited in front of Dai's mansion for a long time, and the housekeeper came out and told him that Dai Yitao had gone to the mayor's office. Lu Yixiang hurriedly asked Ah Cheng to drive to the city government, but was stopped by the guards. Although Lu Yixiang was angry in his heart, he had to ask Dai Yitao at this time, so he had to swallow his anger, Lu Yixiang had been guarding in front of the city government, and he must see Dai Yitao.
Dai Yitao saw that Lu Yixiang had been guarding in front of the city government, and knew that this old classmate was iron-hearted, and he had to see himself, so he had no intention of retreating in the face of difficulties, so he could only come out to see Lu Yixiang hard.
"Brother Dai, you are finally willing to come out to see me." Lu Yixiang saw Dai Yitao coming out, and hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Dai, the junior brother came here today to ask for something, can you deign to ask Watanabe Ichiro, the head of the army's secret service, to let him let Xiao Yulin go?" ”
"Brother Lu, I already know about this matter of yours, it's not that I don't want to help you. The reason why I haven't seen each other several times is because I really can't help it. Tonight is not as good as in the past, now it is the world of the Japanese, and I, the mayor, am just a puppet, and it is really not enough to make a profit. ”
"You don't even have the weight of being the mayor, so who can you find?"
"Japanese, I have heard that Kazuo Yamada of the Japan-China Friendship Association is very important to Brother Lu, and he has asked you to go out of the mountain several times, and when you become the president of the maintenance association, you have all refused, if you go to him now, he should have the ability to help you." Dai Yitao showed Lu Yixiang a way.
Kazuo Yamada's hateful face appeared in Lu Yixiang's mind, this was the person he hated the most. However, now he had to beg him, which made Lu Yixiang feel painful. But for the sake of his son, even if he is a thousand, ten thousand unwilling, he has to knock on the door of Kazuo Yamada's house.
Lu Yixiang came to Kazuo Yamada's apartment and handed the business card to a maid in a kimono and handed it to Kazuo Yamada.
Soon, the maid dragged the clogs out, humbly bowed over, and let Lu Yixiang in.
Lu Yulin took off his shoes, walked into the Japanese-style room, and saw Yamada wearing a kimono, kneeling on the tatami mat, waiting for him.
Lu Yulin sat cross-legged opposite Kazuo Yamada.
"Mr. Lu is really a rare guest, I, Kazuo Yamada, never dreamed that Mr. Lu would deign to come to my house as a guest."
"Please excuse me, Mr. Yamada."
"Mr. Lu, this is our Japanese sencha, please taste it." Kazuo Yamada pushed a cup of tea in front of Lu Yixiang.
Lu Yixiang picked up the teacup, tasted it, and nodded: "Not bad." However, Mr. Yamada, I have not come to you today for a cup of tea, but for your help. ”
"Oh, Lu Dashan, who has never begged for help, also has a time to ask for help?" Yamada poured his own tea and said coldly.
Lu Yixiang ignored Yamada's ridicule and continued: "The dog Lu Yulin was taken to the army secret service by Watanabe Ichiro Daisa, and insisted that he was a suspect of anti-Japanese resistance. However, my son is just an ordinary newspaper editor, a weak scholar who writes articles and climbs the grid, how can he be involved with the anti-Japanese elements? So I think Watanabe Osa must have made a mistake, and I want to ask Mr. Yamada to come forward and ask Watanabe Osa to intercede and let my son live. ”
"Mr. Lu, whether your son is an anti-Japanese element or not, you don't count, I also say it doesn't count, I believe that Watanabe Daisa will find out after interrogation." Yamada said unhurriedly, squinting at Lu Yixiang.
"But the child has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he can't stand the toss, I'm afraid that he will be beaten into a trick."
"Everyone in your Lu family is iron-clad and never soft, how can Lu Gongzi be beaten into a move?"
Kazuo Yamada's down-and-down, schadenfreude tone angered Lu Yixiang.
So, Mr. Yamada is unwilling to intercede for Xiao'er? The old man came to the wrong place and took his leave. Lu Yixiang was disappointed, but also deeply ashamed that he had groveled to intercede with the enemy, and hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave.
"Slow, Mr. Lu, I'm not done yet." Yamada took a sip of tea: "If Mr. Lu can give in and assume the position of president of the maintenance association, the matter of Mr. Lu will be easy to discuss." ”
Lu Yixiang stopped and was silent.
"Mr. Lu, you have to let us Japanese see your sincerity, so that we have reason to believe that Lu Gongzi is not an anti-Japanese element. Otherwise, you always have such an uncooperative attitude, and it is logical that your son is an anti-Japanese element, you say, isn't it? ”
Lu Yixiang closed his eyes and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Okay, I agree." ”
"Mr. Lu has finally figured out that in a few days it will be the third anniversary of the establishment of our Japan-China Friendship Association and Maintenance Association, and I will personally issue a letter of appointment to Mr. Lu at the conference."
"Mr. Yamada, you are exalting me too much, this seems to be too grandiose." Lu Yixiang knew that Yamada wanted to announce his appointment as president of the association with great fanfare, and he wanted nothing more than to expand the sensational effect of the matter in order to set an example.
"Mr. Lu is about to join our camp, it can't be too grand, come, you and I will replace wine with tea, and toast to our future cooperation."
Yamada picked up his teacup and handed him Lu Yixiang's teacup, Lu Yixiang took the cup, tilted his neck, drank the tea in the teacup, and put the teacup heavily on the coffee table.
Lu Yixiang hugged his fists: "Farewell." ”
Shortly after Watanabe returned to the office, he received a call from Yamada.
"Watanabe-kun, is Lu Yulin there with you?"
"Yes, he is a suspect of anti-Japanese resistance, and I am interrogating."
"Did he admit it?"
"This man is very stubborn and refuses to admit it."
"In that case, let's let him go first."
"Put? Why? Ichiro Watanabe was puzzled.
"Watanabe-kun, today Lu Yixiang came to my house and asked me to come out to intercede with you and release his son. I maintained the position of president of the association in exchange, and he finally agreed to be the president of the maintenance association, which has been a vacancy for the president for a long time, and the vice president and some members have been assassinated, and people are still panicking, and the maintenance association almost exists in name only. Now, Lu Yixiang is willing to come forward to take the post of president, then this influence is huge, he can make the large and small business people in Guangzhou cooperate with our big Japan, then we can monopolize the industry and commerce of Guangzhou, and make Guangzhou the rear base of our big Japan. This strategic significance is significant. ”
However, Lu Yulin is an important anti-Japanese suspect. Although I don't have direct evidence yet, I believe that a breakthrough is just around the corner. ”
"Watanabe-kun, now is the time to buy people's hearts. As long as we firmly control Lu Yixiang, his son can't turn over the big waves, the Chinese pay the most attention to filial piety, even if his son is an anti-Japanese element, can he change the life of the traitor Lao Tzu? ”
"Understood, I'll let Lu Yulin go."
"Also, the plainclothes and secret posts of the Lu Mansion have also been removed, since he has promised to be the president, don't monitor him, otherwise Lu Yixiang will not sincerely cooperate with us, and others will doubt our sincerity."
"Okay, Yamada-kun, I'll do as you tell me."
Watanabe returned to the torture room, and Lu Yulin had woken up from his coma.
"Untie." Watanabe commanded the thugs.
The thugs hurriedly untied Lu Yulin. Lu Yulin rubbed his two arms that were bound numbly.
"Master Lu, you can go home now." Watanabe smiled all over his face, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of please.
Lu Yulin didn't understand why Watanabe suddenly changed his attitude and released him so quickly, and it seemed that he was willing to let him go, he couldn't guess what the reason was for a while, but he always felt that Watanabe would not let him go so easily, maybe there were other conspiracies.
"Help Lu Gongzi out. Then drive Lu Gongzi home. Watanabe instructed the thug who was five big and three thick.
After the five big and three rough thugs got the order, they came to support Lu Yulin, Lu Yulin waved his hand and insisted on walking out of the torture room by himself. Every time Lu Yulin moved, the whiplash on his body would pull the muscles and nerves of his whole body, and he gritted his teeth in pain. He leaned against the wall and walked out of the torture chamber step by step.
The car sent Lu Yulin back to Lufu. Lu Yulin slowly moved out of the car, and Yurong saw that the young master was back, so she hurriedly rushed over and helped him.
"Young Master, why did they beat you like this." Yu Rong looked at Lu Yulin, who was skinless, and her heart felt like she had been poked into a big hole.
"Yurong, don't cry, help me in."
Shuxian also ran out, looking at her weak husband, tears dripping silently.
Lu Yulin wiped Shuxian's tears: "Shuxian, I'm fine, don't be sad." ”
Mrs. Lu and Lu Yixiang also ran out, looking at their son's scarred body, and the old tears were full of tears.
"Dad, Mom, don't be sad, haven't I already come out?"
Yu Lin comforted everyone.
"Quick, Ah Cheng, bring the recliner over and carry the young master into the house."
Ah Cheng brought a reclining chair and helped Lu Yulin sit up, and then Ah Cheng and Uncle Yao carried Yulin into the bedroom on the second floor.
"I'll call and ask Dr. Huang Enbo to come and treat you." Lu Yixiang hurriedly talked to Dr. Huang Enbo on the phone.
