At noon on Saturday, June 3, the three major chambers of commerce of Shanghai, the United States, and China jointly held a business reception at the International Hotel, and as the assistant military attache of the U.S. Embassy in China, Navy Major, First Secretary of the Consulate General in Shanghai, the new police supervisor of the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Public Concession and the new director of the Police Department, Li Junhao was of course solemnly invited.

Originally, he didn't want to go, but Ayres personally called him and asked him to attend the reception with Political Counselor Sheehan and the First Secretary of the Commercial Office, Hampley, on behalf of the consulate.

When Li Junhao's car arrived at the International Hotel, Franklin Willis, an American businessman and the new director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, Berry Webb, the first deputy chief of the police department and also in charge of the general affairs department, and Owei Fast, the assistant director in charge of the law department and the inspection department, were all at the door of the hotel.

At the reception, Xien, the new deputy director of the Ministry of Industry, was in high spirits and accepted congratulations from all parties; As the first commercial secretary of the consulate, Hampley is also highly praised by everyone in the American Chamber of Commerce, not to mention the upstart Li Junhao!

When Li Junhao, who was dressed in a U.S. Navy uniform, was surrounded and walked into the banquet hall, it attracted everyone's attention, and even the British, who had a lot of grievances in their hearts, had to admit that this nouveau riche in the concession was indeed heroic and majestic, but was his suppression of British patrols too much?

Of course, there were also a group of Japanese diplomats and businessmen who also participated in the reception, and their eyes were not resentful, but resentful, but they had nothing to do, which made them very depressed!

Many Chinese businessmen were bright-eyed, led by Vice President He Fengmin, and a group of Chinese businessmen rushed up to greet them. Among these people, Li Junhao only knew He Dongming, and said hello from afar.

He Dongming was very excited, grabbed a few steps, and introduced: "Mr. Pan Sen, this is my father......"

"Hello, President He!" Li Junhao took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "I have admired the name for a long time." ”

"Hello, Mr. Pan Sen, contemptible He Fengmin, it's a pleasure to meet you." He Fengmin shook hands with him and smiled.

Under the introduction of the He father and son, Li Junhao got to know a circle of Chinese businessmen, as well as ladies and young masters, everyone was very interested in him, but he noticed a young lady surnamed Zheng!

Zheng Pingru, ancestral home in Lanxi, Zhejiang, father Zheng Yue (Yingbo), mother Zheng Huajun (Kimura Hanako), born in Nagoya, Japan in 1918, successively studied in Minguang Middle School and Huhai College of Law and Politics, fluent in Japanese, solid family, in 1937 on the cover of the most influential "Liangyou Pictorial" in Shanghai at that time, was a celebrity in the social circle of Shanghai at this time, and had a great reputation in the business community and the high-level Japanese puppet in Shanghai. In addition, because of her Japanese ancestry, she was trusted by the Japanese side, and at this time she also served as a radio announcer in the news review room of the Japanese military reporting department.

Li Junhao looked at Zheng Pingru, who had just been introduced by He Dongming in front of him, on the one hand, he sighed at his youth and beauty, but on the other hand, he was lamenting the tragic ending after him - this woman is the prototype of the heroine of the later movie "Lust and Caution"!

In his previous life, Li Junhao had specifically understood this woman. In the original history, Zheng Pingru joined the Central Union after the start of the all-out Anti-Japanese War in 1937, when he had not graduated from university and was only 19 years old, so he devoted himself to the great cause of resistance against Japan. Relying on her mother's relationship, she was circumscribed to Zuozhong, a high-ranking official of the Japanese invaders, and obtained a large amount of high-level Japanese intelligence, but the anti-communist Central Unification did not pay attention to it.

Zheng Pingru is the only female agent included in the book "Intelligence Model Figures" published by the Taiwan Military Intelligence Bureau in the later generations, which shows the high evaluation of the Military Intelligence Bureau: "In order to successfully carry out the intelligence search mission, the town and day are maneuvering among the high-ranking officials of the Japanese invaders, committing themselves to Kou Yun, seeking pleasure, sacrificing personal beauty in exchange for national intelligence, not only has no fame and fortune, but also because of their dealings with Japanese traitors, the family is spurned and despised by the township, the family is disgraced, and the lintel is dull, but Zheng Pingru has no regrets, ignoring the short-term and long-term, such sentiments are by no means something that secular people can do." ”

According to records, Zheng Pingru once reconnected with Hayamizu, the representative of the peace talks sent by Japanese Prime Minister Fumima Konoe to Huhai, and then became acquainted with Fumitaka Konoe's sons Fumitaka Konoe and Tadama Konoe, as well as Takeo Imai, deputy chief of the general staff of the Central China Dispatch Army. During this time, she tried to kidnap Fumitaka Konoe and force the Japanese prime minister to make an armistice concession. Of course, this idea is too naïve, but Zhongtong does not even have the guts to try!

Zheng Pingru once heard in advance the important information that Wang Wei Jingwei "will have abnormal movements", and reported it to Chongqing through a secret radio station, but Zhongtong, Erchen and others did not pay attention to it until Wang Wei openly surrendered to the enemy, and it was too late to regret it!

Subsequently, Chen Baohua, the head of the Huhai District of the Central Union, was ordered by the chairman of the committee to assassinate Ding Mocun, but he was unable to complete it, and finally made a stupid trick to let Zheng Pingru use the beauty trick.

For the sake of the great cause of the nation, Zheng Pingru endured the humiliation and approached Ding Mocun (who had been the principal of Minguang Middle School) as a student, and charmed him, creating several opportunities for assassination, but Chen Bin and others from the Zhongtong Huhai Station who carried out the assassination mission had too poor ability to act, and all the opportunities were wasted......

As a last resort, Zheng Pingru approached Ding Mo Estate with a pistol and decided to take matters into her own hands, but fell into the hands of the enemy, and was unyielding under torture and was secretly executed by No. 76 in February 1940 at the age of 22.

During Zheng Pingru's arrest, the Japanese once blackmailed his father Zheng Yue (then the chief prosecutor of the Second Branch of the Suzhou Provincial High Court in the Public Concession, and was previously a professor at Fudan University) to become the Minister of Justice of Wang's puppet government, but Zheng Yue refused on the grounds of health, so he lost his beloved daughter and died of illness the following year.

Zheng Pingru's brother Zheng Haicheng, after the "77 Incident", resolutely returned from Japan, joined the Kuomintang Air Force, flew a plane to fight the Japanese invaders in the sky, and died heroically in the air battle to defend Chongqing on January 19, 1944.

Zheng Pingru's fiancé, Wang Hanxun, is Zheng Haicheng's air force comrade-in-arms. In the spring of 1939, he wrote twice to ask Zheng Pingru to go to Hong Kong to get married, but in the face of the national crisis, Zheng Pingru repeatedly postponed the marriage, and the two agreed to get married again after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. On August 7, 1944, Wang Hanxun died while performing a military mission in Hengshan, when he was the captain of the colonel.

In later generations, the names of Zheng Haicheng and Wang Hanxun were engraved on the monument of Nanjing Aviation Martyrs Cemetery.

The Zheng family, a loyal martyr, deserves it!

If it weren't for meeting this heroine today, Li Junhao might not have remembered these for a while, but now that he has met him, of course he can't let the tragedy happen again; I don't even want her to waste her life in order to carry out the unreliable orders of her superiors!
