No. 9 Huangpu Road, Shanghai, German Consulate in Shanghai.

Consul General Fred sat behind his desk and listened carefully to the secretary's debriefing.

He had just attended a social event at the Public Concession Bureau, and it wasn't long after he returned to the office.

"Your Excellency, our intelligence officers followed the other party's car to the home of the American Glen Trading Company Shanghai Branch. Our surveillance records show that this person has not previously appeared at a social occasion in Shanghai, let alone with the U.S. Consulate General, and that the choice to speak in a social setting indicates that this was the first time they had met. Yulia, the female secretary, said.

"Investigating this matter, from the attitude and expression of their conversation, I feel that Davis attaches great importance to this young man, and if it was just ordinary social interaction, they would not have talked for so long." Fred said.

In fact, Davis also regrets it now, he originally just wanted to chat with Han Lin out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had a high-level intelligence source that the US intelligence department coveted, how could he not have known that the meeting in a social occasion would be noticed by many forces in Shanghai, but it was too late to regret it.

At the same time, the British Consulate and the Japanese Consulate are all doing the same thing, and a pebble falls into the calm lake, causing ripples in circles.

After breakfast, Han Lin smoked a cigarette and read two newspapers, and then took the car to the Tang Mansion.

It went very well, Tang's father did not exclude the second son of the Han family from visiting, and invited Tang Ying to go out shopping to be a consultant for his own business, he hated politics, but the Han family was a businessman.

"You seemed nervous at my house just now?" Tang Ying and Han Lin sat side by side in the back seat.

"All parents who have daughters at home are a little hostile to the men who come to the door, afraid that their precious daughter will be abducted by a bad boy!" Han Lin said with a smile.

"What you said is very vivid, my parents have a good feeling about you at the first time, otherwise you would not have the treatment of drinking tea and chatting at my house, if it weren't for you doing business, it is estimated that my father would not agree to us coming out." Tang Ying also said with a smile.

Han Lin did not hide the Tang family, saying that he graduated from the police academy and is currently working as a section chief in the Military Police Section of the Police Department of the Military Police Headquarters in Jinling.

Although Tang's father didn't like his daughter to associate with officers, considering that the Han family was also a well-known salt merchant, Han Lin was currently also in business, so he still agreed to let the two get along alone.

Tang Ying does have her own opinions, every time she goes to a foreign company, she tells Han Lin about popular goods, which can be prepared more, which can be purchased in small quantities, and for several new luxury goods, Han Lin directly bought them as a consultant's remuneration, and Tang Ying did not refuse.

At noon, the two went to a well-known Western restaurant in the French Concession to eat, Tang Ying was surprised to find that Han Lin, a person from the police academy, had no worse understanding of Western food etiquette than her, and she was also very interested in chatting about the characteristics of French food, what made her even more incomprehensible was that Han Lin could also speak in French and sounded very fluent.

Enigmatic man!

In the afternoon, the two went to the café to drink coffee, and after dinner, Han Lin sent her home and agreed to meet tomorrow morning.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Han Lin returned home.

"You and Miss Tang went on a date for a day, how did you feel?" Han Li asked.

"A very fashionable and delicate talented girl, flowers blooming in the greenhouse, it's okay to be friends, her world is not for me!" Han Lin said very bluntly.

The flowers of the greenhouse are difficult to withstand the baptism of wind and rain, and this group of words came out of his mouth, which is not a derogatory statement, because everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, and Tang Ying has an innate environment, the family is very wealthy, well-educated, and becomes a courtesan in high society, which is also understandable.

A smart rich lady and a versatile socialite can only be friends with Han Lin, although the two have similar backgrounds and different futures, he has to fight for the fate of the nation that is destined to win, and the other party wants a comfortable life.

Back in the bedroom, Han Lin recalled the situation when he went out today, and found that someone was following him, but he couldn't guess which force it was.

As for the reason, he believes that it must have something to do with last night's ball, this is the first time he has appeared in public in Shanghai, and it is normal for someone to follow him because of his contact with Johnson.

No. 9 Huangpu Road.

"Your Excellency Consul General, the intelligence officers have investigated the situation of the target, Han Lin, the younger brother of the elder class Han Li of the Geno Trading Company, is twenty-six years old, graduated from the Jinling Police Academy, and currently serves in the Military Police Section of the Police Department of the Jinling Military Police Headquarters, with the rank of army major." Yulia said.

"What is the connection between a gendarmerie officer and a U.S. consul general? What is his activity today? Fred asked.

If Han Lin is a member of the intelligence department of the Jinling government, this is very easy to explain, after all, everyone knows the attitude of the Jinling government towards Western countries, but the military police headquarters does not belong to the intelligence agency, but the department in charge of military law and military discipline, which is very puzzling.

"Our surveillance personnel reported that Han Lin has been accompanying Tang Ying, a socialite in Shanghai, to visit foreign shops from morning to evening today, and has also bought a lot of luxury goods, eating Western food at noon and evening, it is possible that Han Lin is the suitor of this Miss Tang Ying." Yulia said.

"Forget it, don't follow him anymore, according to the original plan, strengthen the surveillance of the American consulate, if they have a second contact, that's a problem. In addition, report the situation to the Jinling Embassy and check whether this Han Lin has hidden his identity. Fred said.

Since it is impossible to know the identity of the other party for the time being, let's wait and see what happens, and the diplomatic offices of various countries in Shanghai have intelligence personnel monitoring each other, and they are doing everything possible to install their eyes and ears, which is something that everyone knows very well.

Three days later, Han Lin concluded his commodity investigation in the concession area.

"Miss Tang, my two stores will be renovated before New Year's Day, and they will officially open after the Spring Festival, and you are welcome to attend the opening ceremony at that time." Han Lin sent an invitation to Tang Ying.

If Tang Ying cuts the ribbon for the opening of two luxury stores, it will play a great role in raising the popularity of luxury stores and improving the status and image of luxury stores, which is equivalent to star effect. The value of the first lady in Shanghai must not be taken lightly, which is talking about consumption.

"Of course, if I don't have anything special to attend, I can't be this consultant for nothing." Tang Ying said with a smile.
