058. Secrets in the Academy
There were two food boxes on the car that picked him up, which were the meals and afternoon tea that Lu Peiming had prepared for Wei Jieling and Yuxian Academy. The driver didn't know where to go, so he left a note for Tan Jing in the cab, telling him to drive to the hospital to pick up Lu Peiming and go to Yuxian College together.
Lu Peiming still had a plaster cast on his hands, but there was no inconvenience in his movements. After he came out of the hospital building, Tan Jing diligently got out of the car to support him, and the medical staff told him a bunch of precautions, and repeatedly advised: "After the meeting with Miss Wei, please be sure to send him back to the hospital." ”
The organization that assassinated him is still inconclusive, and Lu Peiming is still under strict supervision in the name of "protection".
It was the first time they had met since the Toyo Hotel, and as soon as the car started, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was isolated. Tan Jing drove the sedan out of the hospital and said, "I'm sorry. ”
Lu Peiming, who was in the back seat, burst out laughing: "It's really not easy to listen to the reporter's apology. I've heard that you've been to the hospital at least two or three times, why, three times without entering the house? ”
Talking about the competition, he apologized to Lu Peiming, but he did not regret what he did at the beginning, to prevent the Japanese side from meeting with Chongqing, there was only one way, and he didn't know Lu Peiming's identity at the beginning, so if he did it again, he would still do that.
Lu Peiming seemed to be able to break his mind: "Why don't you speak, do you think in your heart, although I can't help it, but if I do it again, I still want to kill you?" ”
Tan Jing said: "Thank you for your understanding. ”
Lu Peiming laughed again, and at the same time lowered the window and lit a cigar: "Although I work for the Japanese, I am not a big traitor, and it is impossible for the military commander to let you kill me, so why did you appear at the Toyo Hotel?" It won't be to block the peace talks, right? ”
Tan Jing glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "No comment." ”
Lu Peiming said: "We are also a cooperative relationship now, can't we say that a task that has been carried out can't be said?" ”
Tan Jing was unmoved: "I don't know what Dean Lu wants me to do, it's not cooperation, at best, it's at best." ”
Lu Peiming smiled: "A good mouth is just right for the disadvantages of the needle." ”
As he spoke, his expression became serious, he threw his cigar out of the window and raised the window: "Miss Seven is being watched in the academy, to be exact, restricted to the free movement of the campus, we want to know what the hell the Japanese are doing in the academy." ”
Tan Jing moved under his feet and wanted to step on the brakes. This is not a big deal, and the people of the Central Command will not even be unable to find out about this matter. But he finally held back, what he owed Lu Peiming would be good if he could take this opportunity to pay it off.
The Lu family's car drove into the gate of Yuxian Academy, and Tan Jing came out of the dean's office, bringing Catherine's dessert drinks to Ozawa, preparing to personally send them to everyone in Yuxian Academy. But Ozawa asked another to take him to a reception room for tea, and he took the snack himself.
After all, his current identity is only Lu Peiming's secretary, and he can be taken by him to see his fiancée, which shows that his secretary has nothing to do with court business.
Why do these Japanese have to be so wary of a small private secretary?
Tan actually remembered the Japanese soldiers who came to drive him away with loaded guns and ammunition before, and the vice president of Tangqiao who answered the phone when he called Wei Jieling.
He froze and smiled at the Japanese woman: "I heard that the academy has been teaching our young grandmother to learn Japanese. ”
The Japanese woman also looked at him with a smile, and when he finished speaking, she said in Japanese without hurry: "I'm sorry, I don't speak Chinese." ”
Tan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to change to Japanese to talk to her, but before the first Japanese word was spit out, he suddenly closed his mouth again and made a sincere puzzled expression: "What did you say?" ”
The Japanese woman carefully studied Tan Jing's expression, which made Tan Jing a little panicked, he didn't have time to look at his face carefully before leaving, for fear that Yi Rong would reveal flaws.
She spoke another sentence in Japanese, with a sincere expression, still testing him, but the conversation was still at a loss, he thought for a moment, and said to her in English: "I don't understand Japanese, or we can speak English." ”
The Japanese woman shook her head, indicating that she also didn't speak English.
Tan suddenly realized that the language barrier he had set up, while effectively protecting his identity, had also become an obstacle, so that he had no way to find any unintentional loopholes in her words.
But then he realized that maybe the Japanese woman was just pretending that she didn't speak Chinese—she served Wei Jieling, and if she didn't know Chinese, how did she usually communicate with Wei Jieling?
Tan actually spoke again: "I don't know how you usually teach our young grandmother to learn Japanese, but it seems a little troublesome...... In fact, you don't have to make any effort, the old man of our family still hopes that the young grandmother can live in the house in the future, you also know that my old lady is gone, and there is no one in the inner courtyard, which is very inconvenient. ”
As he spoke, he sipped his tea, his eyes drooping. The cup is carrying Japanese-style brown rice tea, and it is not very good brown rice tea, perhaps because his level is too low to be worthy of good tea.
When he was talking, he deliberately didn't look at the Japanese woman's reaction, and only when he put down the cup did he raise his head and smile at her: "I'm too long-winded." ”
The Japanese woman looked at him with a well-controlled facial expression, a gentle, gentle smile, though a little confused by the language barrier, still encouraging him not to mind, and to continue—if the conversation was pouring out his heart to her, then this expression was really appropriate.
"According to our old man's meaning, young grandma she...... Forget it," Tan actually sighed, "you don't understand it anyway...... I don't know if the young master will note Vice President Tang Qiao to order something. ”
The woman smiled gracefully at him, and she took the jug to fill him with water, and then looked him in the eye as if to encourage him to continue.
After all, he was the only one on stage who was performing the stage without the other party's complete cooperation - the intelligence officer was supposed to hide himself behind the scenes, but now he was like a clown at a carnival.
Gotta get out of her surveillance quickly, talk about Jing thought. During the time he kept his mouth shut, the woman didn't say a word, and the two were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was so awkward that Tanjing could only drink water constantly.
The pot of tea was quickly finished, and the woman calmly got up, went to the corner and brought a thermos bottle, refilled the pot with boiling water, and added a new handful of tea.
Tan lowered his eyes and stopped talking, pouring tea into his mouth cup after cup. Gradually, she was a little uneasy about the convenience, and her eyes glanced quickly at the clock behind Tan Jing when Tan Jing was not paying attention, and then quickly turned back, and continued to look at Tan Jing and smile.
Tan pretended not to notice her small movements at all, but just looked cramped, as if he didn't know what to do without speaking, and could only drink tea one by one.
Soon, his crampedness became more obvious, his hand was also on his lower abdomen, and he frequently glanced at the Japanese woman opposite, looking a little restless.
As if he had endured it for a long time and endured it a little uncomfortable, Tan actually coughed lightly very embarrassedly: "That ......"
The other party had actually sensed what he wanted to do, but she pretended not to know, looked at him with a sincere face, and was very puzzled.
He gestured and said, "May I ask the bathroom...... lavatory…… Where is it? ”
The other party was still smiling and puzzled.
Tan actually stood up, and she stood up with her, her expression dazed, but not a little vigilant.
"Bathroom ......" Tan actually said loudly, "I'm going to the toilet!" ”
Communication failed, he walked around the room, and suddenly walked over and pulled the door of the conference room, and there was a man who looked like an orderly standing upright by the door, but he was not wearing a military uniform. Seeing that Tan actually came out, he subconsciously made a fierce and vicious expression, and at the same time made a gesture of holding a gun with his two empty hands, and was stunned for a moment before taking it back, and at the same time he spit out a sentence of Japanese from the conversation.
I actually understood the conversation, and the meaning of this sentence is "to go back".
He also didn't understand a word, and while quickly explaining his intentions, he hurried out, which angered the guard, and he grabbed Tan Jing's shoulder and shoved him indoors.
The Japanese woman caught up from behind and held Tan Jing from behind, saving him from falling. But she deliberately embarrassed him, deliberately did not say anything to explain, and wanted to bring Tan Jing back to the conference room, but Tan was tied by her arm, like an iron shackle, and the flesh hurt. He struggled for a moment, then suddenly let go of his throat and shouted, "Let go of me, let me go!" Help me! I'm going to the toilet! ”
The two men were startled by him, and the man guarding the door scrambled to stop him from shouting, but Tan nimbly avoided him and ran outside.
At the end of the corridor, a soldier with a loaded gun appeared, and the Japanese woman panicked, rushed to Tan Jing and explained loudly to the Japanese soldiers, saying that this was the person from the court president Lu, and there was no malicious intent.
Tang Qiao came down the stairs and hurriedly walked over, his face unkind. The soldier with the gun made way for him, and the Japanese woman trotted over and bowed to him, saying something quickly.
Tang Qiao listened as he walked towards the conversation, he was pressed against the wall by the guards who had been guarding outside the conference room, his glasses fell off, and he had to secretly exert force on his neck to prevent his face from being squeezed and deformed.
Tang Qiao himself bent down to pick up his eyes, and the guard holding his arm let go of his hand and bowed to him in apology under Tang Qiao's reprimand.
Tan actually rubbed his shoulders and looked at this group of people with some horror in his eyes. Lu Peiming and Wei Jieling were also alarmed, and hurried over to reprimand Tang Qiao. Both parties scolded their own people, and neither had the intention of using the topic to play.
"I just want to go to the bathroom......" Tan said with a bitter face, "I drank too much tea, but that lady couldn't understand me......"
