No need to ask, the patrol was summoned by a foreign bank, Zhao Yufeng and the two horses were a little panicked, they wanted to pull out their guns but didn't dare, they wanted to run and felt embarrassed, at the critical moment, Chen Zikun was calm and calm, and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, walk over slowly." ”

Mu Yichen didn't know what was going on, he only felt that the senior and his subordinates had a strange expression, but he still followed them to meet the patrol.

Suddenly, a guy with a bloody face ran out of the gate of Lihe Foreign Bank, pointed at Chen Zikun and others and shouted: "It's them!" ”

"Run!" Chen Zikun ran away, the speed was so fast, and Mu Yichen was pulled together to run in the opposite direction before he came to his senses.

Seeing this, the patrol whistle was violently blown, and the chase was relentless, the big leather shoes croaked on the asphalt road, and the passers-by dodged one after another, Chen Zikun put his fingers in his mouth and whistled, Wang Degui pulled out his pistol and shook it falsely, and the patrolmen suddenly lay on the ground.

Taking advantage of this effort, Chen Zikun made a gesture and asked Zhao Yufeng to take the two horses to the left, and he took Mu Yichen to the right to escape, only to hear the siren behind him blowing very poignantly, and there was also a shadow in front of him to patrol and arrest, the security in the core area of the concession is really not blown, no wonder the comprador is so confident.

Just as he was hesitating whether to use the gun, Mu Yichen suddenly whispered, "Follow me." Pulled Chen Zikun into the alley on the side, the alley was full of sheets and clothes, and the ground was full of sundries.

There were not many customers in the western restaurant, Beethoven's piano music came out of the gramophone, and the waiter politely asked, "Are you two?" ”

"Yes, two cups of coffee, thank you." Mu Yichen took off his top hat and sat down in a corner, just in time to see the situation outside through the glass window, Chen Zikun sat down opposite him and asked, "You often come to this place?" ”

"When I was a child, my father often took me to eat Western food, at that time our family still lived in Nanshi, I still remember that the tram was a copper ticket, a Western food was star anise Xiaoyang, bread and butter were unlimited, and I ate a lot every time."

"Oh, Ling Zun is quite emotional, what does the old man do?"

"My family used to be engaged in the silk business, but unfortunately in my father's generation, the family fell into the middle, when I was 12 years old, my father died of illness, and since then, no one has taken me to eat Western food."

Chen Zikun hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry. ”

"It's okay, senior, you haven't told me yet, why are you hiding from patrols." Mu Yichen asked.

"Hehe, I slapped the comprador of the foreign company." Chan said.

Mu Yichen shook his head: "The senior is really old-tempered, and he hasn't changed at all, but these foreign slaves really should be beaten." ”

Chen Zikun said: "What about you, how did you go to Lihe Foreign Bank? ”

Mu Yichen smiled bitterly: "I was looking for a job, and I have been idle for a long time since I came back from studying in Germany." ”

Chen Zikun noticed that the cuffs of Mu Yichen's suit were slightly worn, and the style of the tie was also two years ago, so it seemed that the junior's life was a little embarrassing.

"So, have you found a job?"

"Nope." Mu Yichen shook his head, "Although I studied metallurgy, what foreign companies need is salespeople, and my professional knowledge is useless." ”

"Why don't you try it at a steel factory in the mainland, such as Hanyang Iron Works, where international students like you are in high demand." Chen Zikun wondered.

The waiter brought two cups of coffee, put them in front of the guest and said, "Please use it slowly." ”

Mu Yichen said thank you in English, and said: "I've been there, but it's really hard to get used to that kind of officialdom and intrigue, maybe my personality is too weird." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Brother Mu is not eccentric, he is Qinggao, I will replace wine with coffee, I wish you to find a job as soon as possible." ”

"Senior Xie's auspicious words, senior doesn't seem to tell me yet, where are you in high school?"

"I'm working as a military envoy in the northern part of Jiangdong Province." Chen Zikun said calmly.

Mu Yichen's eyes lit up: "The senior actually threw his pen into Rong, and we old classmates have to rely on you." ”

"It's just a precarious commander of the light pole, this time I came to Shanghai to buy some guns and ammunition to protect myself, but unfortunately I didn't buy the gun, and I was caught by the patrol first." Chen Zikun said with a smile.

Mu Yichen said: "If the senior wants to buy weapons, there are still many foreign companies in Shanghai, the weapons of Britain, the United States, Germany and France are more expensive, but the price of products in Italy and Spain is relatively cheap. ”

Chan was overjoyed: "That's great. ”

While chatting, there was a dingdong, the door of the western restaurant opened, and a U.S. Army major in a straight uniform walked in with two ladies, one of whom saw Chen Zikun and couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss Chen!" ”

Chen Zikun said politely: "Madam, do we know each other? ”

"Oh my God, of course we know, it was you who saved me from the bandits, don't you remember?" The lady was very excited, spoke English very quickly, and grabbed the hand of the army major tightly and said, "Allen, he is the famous Chen Zikun!" ”

The major stepped forward quickly and stretched out his right hand: "Mr. Chen, I'm Allen. Kim, thank you for risking your life to save my wife from the devil's cave, you are the benefactor of our family. ”

Chen Zikun finally remembered that the first batch of Western hostages of this lady was released, and at that time she was grizzled and dirty, and today she is radiant, no wonder she is unrecognizable.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Kim, are you okay?" Chen Zikun said with a smile.

"Thank God, you finally remembered me." Mrs. Kim stroked her chest, her expression exaggerated.

The lady who came with her stared at Chen Zikun for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed, "I've seen you." "The freckles on his face flushed with excitement.

Mrs. Kim said curiously, "Emily, I remember that you have never been to China before." ”

Emily hurriedly took out a copy of Time magazine from her bag, pointed to the personable portrait on the cover and said, "No, it's him, the bravest Chinese general." ”

Mrs. Jin's mouth opened into an O-shape: "Allen, look, General Chen is on the cover of Time Magazine!" ”

Major Jin was also excited, and called the waiter over and said, "Open me a bottle of champagne." ”

The waiters, who were all proficient in English, heard from their conversation that one of the guests was of a very distinguished position, and naturally did not dare to slack off, so he quickly brought a bottle of fine French champagne, and asked the musician to change it to a cheerful tune without command.

"General, if you don't mind, I'd like to invite you, along with your friends, to lunch." Major Jin issued a sincere invitation, Chen Zikun readily agreed, at this time Mu Yichen was already a little unable to sit still, in the past few years he studied in Germany, and he didn't know that the senior not only threw his pen into the army, but also became a world-famous hero.

The lunch was very rich, and the exchanges with American friends were also very pleasant, and when Major Jin learned that Chen Zikun was from the West Point Military Academy, he was overflowing with excitement, and when he talked about the old-fashioned old professors in the school, the distance between the two was shortened a lot.

At the strong request of everyone, Chen Zikun reluctantly repeated the story of his lonely hero in the calf, of course, it was narrated in English, Major Jin listened with his fists clenched, his brows were tightly locked, and he felt empathy, Mrs. Jin and Emily were even more stupid, and from time to time exaggerated with their little hands to cover their mouths, and then glanced at each other, God, God, God was amazed, especially Emily, looking at Chen Zikun's eyes were obviously full of admiration.

Even the waiters in the western restaurant couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen to their conversation.

Suddenly, there was a ding-dong knock, and the door opened again, and this time in was a group of black-clad patrolmen, led by a tall British inspector, with a revolver at his waist, a baton in his hand, and a falcon-like gaze scanning everyone in the store.

Behind him were three Indian patrolmen and three Chinese patrolmen, all armed with rifles, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The manager on duty hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice what help he needed.

The British inspector ignored him and continued to scan the guests, this western restaurant was of a very high grade, the price was very expensive, there were not many customers at noon, only a few tables, and soon the inspector's eyes fell on Chen Zikun.

Chen Zikun wore a white suit, his height was outstanding among Asians, and he was also tall among Europeans and Americans, which was an obvious feature, coupled with his arrogant and uninhibited eyes with the inspector, which convinced the inspector that he was the person he was looking for.

"Nong." The inspector tapped the table with his baton, "Stand up." "His Shanghainese dialect is very authentic, and he must have served in the concession for a long time.

Chen Zikun did not stand up, but Major Jin stood up angrily: "Mr. Inspector, I protest against your extremely impolite behavior, you have not only insulted my guests, but also insulted me. ”

The inspector was not intimidated by him, after all, the patrol room and the garrison are two different things, the British and the Americans are also two different things, he arrogantly bent down slightly, and said: "I'm sorry, two ladies, and you, Mr. Major, I am performing police duties, searching for an extremely dangerous Chinese fugitive with a firearm, your guest happens to be very similar to my fugitive, I want to ask him to go back to the patrol room to investigate, you will definitely not object." ”

Major Jin was furious: "I object, I protest, what is your alarm number, I want to complain about you." ”

The inspector pointed to the metal number plate on his shoulder and said, "You can go to the General Patrol Office or the Ministry of Industry Bureau to file a complaint, but before that, I will take the fugitive away." ”

The patrol had to take people away, and Major Kim really had no way at all, and was about to compromise, when suddenly Emily, who had always maintained a ladylike posture, became furious, picked up a magazine and slammed the inspector, chattering in her mouth: "You scoundrels, robbers, unreasonable drunkards, villains!" ”

The inspector was furious and shouted, "Ma'am, if you don't stop again, I will arrest you for obstruction of official duties." Behind him, a group of Indian Ah San, Shanghai Qi San all rubbed their hands.

Mrs. King said, "Officer, I have to remind you that Miss Emily's father is an American minister, are you sure you intend to cause a diplomatic dispute?" ”
