Lost and Spy

Chapter 626 Movie Stars
On March 1938, 3, the pseudo-"Nanjing Reform Government" was established.

This puppet government governs the enemy-occupied areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and AH provinces and the two special cities of Nanjing and Shanghai.

Liang Hongzhi served as the executive president, and Wen Zongyao served as the legislative president. After the "Reformation Government" was established, it immediately signed a series of agreements with Japan such as the "Outline for the Establishment of Central China Iron Mine Co., Ltd.", enabling Japan to quickly control the economy of Central China and plunder China's resources and materials.

The "Nanjing Restoration Government" is bound to be permanently nailed to the pillar of shame in history!

On the day of March 3, Nanjing's latent military reunification agents launched a full-scale operation and carried out large-scale assassination operations in Nanjing.

This can be regarded as a special "gift" to the "Nanjing Reform Government".

Shanghai is no exception.

Under the planning of the Japanese secret service, Shanghai traitors, large and small, made their debut to celebrate the establishment of the so-called Nanjing Reform Government.

However, these traitors still have concerns about the series of assassinations that the military unified before.

Their celebrations did not dare to be too lively, lest they be targeted by the military.

But even so, the action of the military command came as scheduled.

From the morning of that day, the Shanghai International Settlement and the Japanese-controlled area became lively.

The first place to suffer was the main celebration venue located on Yuyuan Road.

At 9:[-], when those big and small traitors arrived one after another, a bomb was thrown into the venue, killing four people and injuring five others on the spot.

The celebration venue instantly became a mess.

Then, there is the Japanese-controlled area that is considered absolutely safe.

The traitor Jiang, who has lived in the Japanese-controlled area all year round, knows that he has Japanese protection around him, and the activities of the military command in the Japanese-controlled area are slightly safer than those in the public concession, so he has nothing to fear.

In order to show his allegiance to the Japanese, Jiang Huiyi decided to turn the celebration in the Japanese-controlled area into a "large and lively" scene.

It's just a pity that when he was going out in a car full of confidence, he was attacked on the road.

Including Jiang Huiyi, none of the three cars survived.

"Gifts" have been sent out.

For a whole day, Shanghai did not stop for a minute.

Attack, and then attack!

Military command, in action!

……

But at this time, the home of the puppet foreign minister Chen Lu was singing and dancing.

He is very grateful to Tian Qi who temporarily lives in his home.

Chen Lu has always been very cautious. Although he served as the Foreign Minister of the puppet Nanjing Restoration Government, he still chose to stay in Shanghai considering the risks along the way from Shanghai to Nantian.

When the so-called celebration was held in Shanghai, including the Japanese special agencies, they sent invitations to him many times and promised to ensure his safety.

Chen Lu, who had been silent for a long time, still wanted to make a splash.

However, Tian Qi told him: "If you are going, you must be prepared not to come back. The military commander will never sit back and watch the celebrations unfold, they will definitely carry out assassinations. Although the Japanese promised to protect you, but so many People, they don't have that much energy. Minister Chen, you are very worried about your safety."

After careful consideration, Chen Lu decided to accept Tian Qi's suggestion. He declined the Japanese invitation on the grounds that he was "unwell".

What happened afterwards also proved the accuracy of Tian Qi's prediction.

So many people were killed, especially Jiang Huiyi, who was under heavy protection, still did not escape the fate of tragic death.

Without Tian Qi, maybe he would become a corpse now.

That night, Chen Lu and his son Chen Youtao hosted a banquet for Tian Qi.

I don't know how many words of gratitude.

Chen Lu and his son are very clear about Tian Qi's status in the hearts of the Japanese.

Especially now that he has been transferred to Shanghai, he will be reused in a short time.

It's better to have a good relationship with him while he is living in his own home now.

"Those of us who are traitors must be very concerned about our own lives."

After drinking for three rounds, Tian Qi actually said so.

Chen Lu and his son were very embarrassed.

How can someone so openly say that he is a traitor?
Chen Lu coughed: "Mr. Tian's words are biased. What we are doing is for the peace of the country and for the people to suffer less, so it is inevitable to be misunderstood by outsiders."

"A traitor is a traitor, what can I do to justify myself?"

Tian Qi smiled lightly: "Even if you give a thousand and ten thousand reasons, the vast majority of Chinese people will still regard us as traitors, which cannot be washed away anyway. There is nothing embarrassing to admit, since If you become a traitor, then you must do this well, be a hardcore traitor, and be a traitor that the Japanese can fully trust!"

Chen Lu and his son looked at each other, feeling ashamed.

When it comes to the "loyalty" of traitors, I'm afraid no one can compare to this Tian Qiye.

A bodyguard came in and whispered something in Chen Youtao's ear.

Chen Youtao smiled: "Please."

Then he said to Tian Qi with a smiling face: "Mr. Tian, ​​today I specially invited a celebrity to liven up the atmosphere."

"Oh, who is it?"

"That's a new star who emerged a while ago, Miss Shao Mengyin Shao!"

Shao Mengyin?
Tian Qi was startled.

flower!

Chen Youtao was triumphant: "Before the war, Shao Mengyin was a celebrity in the film and television company, but something happened to Huayang Film Company later, and the war broke out again, hehe... I heard that Shao Mengyin was going to Hong Kong, but I don't know For whatever reason, I didn’t go there and stayed in Shanghai, but my living conditions are not as good as before.”

Not only Shao Mengyin, but soon most of the film and television actors were in a bad situation after the war.

Even big stars like Butterfly have gone to Hong Kong.

The film and television companies faced nothing more than three choices, either close their doors, cooperate with the Japanese, or leave Shanghai.

A lot of movie actors are unemployed.

But their necessary expenses cannot be less at all.

Especially in front of people, you must put on a look that is still beautiful.

Dress stylishly, travel without a car, or at least take a rickshaw.

Otherwise, people will see that you are down and out, not only will you have fewer opportunities, but they will also desperately lower the price.

Some actors just got out of the car on their front feet, and their back feet are there worrying about not having anything to eat that night.

Pieces of jewelry and clothes were sent to the pawn shop to maintain their "glamorous" life.

Walking in the church has also become an important source of life for them.

Wealthy people, invite these movie stars who can't afford to be hired normally, to come to the house to show their face and sing songs to add to the fun, and their faces are also radiant, right?
Tian Qi has not seen Hua'er for a long time.

Maybe it's the same with her life now?
"I invite Shanghai celebrities, Ms. Shao Yinmeng, a film superstar!"

Following this voice, Shao Yinmeng walked in slowly.

Tian Qi saw Hua'er again.

Thin and emaciated.

There seemed to be a hint of sadness on his face.

She came to Shanghai from Wuxi to pursue her star dream.

Seeing that he had already touched it, but it was all destroyed in an instant.

She also knew that Chen Lu and his son were traitors, and she didn't want to come, but some hooligans threatened her that if she didn't come, her pretty face would be scratched.

Shao Yinmeng is just a girl after all, she is powerless to resist...

It would be great if Brother Qi was here, then no one would dare to bully him.

As soon as she came in, she was surprised to find:
Seventh brother is really there!
It's Seventh Brother!
But why did Seventh Brother stay with these traitors?
In her mind, Seventh Brother is an indomitable hero, and Seventh Brother is absolutely impossible to be a traitor.

"Mr. Tian, ​​this is Miss Shao Yinmeng Shao!" Chen Youtao introduced enthusiastically.

"I know."

"Ah, do you know Mr. Tian?"

Tian Qi said slowly: "I arranged for her to come to Shanghai and join the film and television company."

Chen Youtao never thought that there was such a relationship between them.

Originally, Shao Yinmeng was forced to accept the invitation, but Chen Youtao was still thinking about taking her tonight. Forgive her for being a weak woman and dare not resist.

But now that there is Tian Qi's relationship, it's hard to start.

"Seventh... Lord Seventh."

Shao Yinmeng said timidly.

She originally wanted to be called "Seventh Brother", but on such an occasion, she felt that it was inappropriate.

"Ah."

Tian Qi nodded: "You don't need to sing, sit down and have a few drinks with me."

"Okay, okay." Chen Youtao said repeatedly: "Mr. Tian's suggestion is good, hurry up, prepare the bowls and chopsticks for Miss Shao."

Shao Yinmeng hesitated for a while, but sat down beside Tian Qi.

She toasted Tian Qi and Chen Lu's father and son wine, and then remained silent.

Such a star is just a decoration.

Perhaps for the sake of showing off, Chen Lu kept talking about the measures he would carry out in the field of diplomacy after he formally assumed the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Tian Qi also listened very carefully, interrupting from time to time to ask for details.

Shao Yinmeng was completely dumbfounded.

Brother Qi really became a traitor?
Although she is only a singer who shoots movies, she also knows that the country is currently suffering from war, and traitors are the most shameless.

Why did Seventh Brother become a traitor?
That would be someone poking the spine and scolding the ancestors.

Tian Qi didn't care.

This meal of wine didn't come to an end until almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Tian Qi suddenly said: "Minister Chen, I want to ask you to borrow some money."

"Ah? Easy to say, easy to say, how much does Mr. Tian want?"

"Give me [-], and I'll pay you back today."

Chen Lu made a signal, and Chen Youtao immediately wrote a check for [-] yuan.

"Take it." Tian Qi put the check in front of Shao Yinmeng: "Don't take this kind of work again in the future, and tell me if you have any difficulties."

Chen Lu and his son looked at each other and smiled.

Tian Qi is really interested in women.

"Thank you Qiye." Shao Yinmeng said, "It's not that much, just settle my money today. I dare not take Qiye's money."

He despises me.

Even the flowers look down on me.

Tian Qi screamed crazily in his heart.

No one thinks highly of me.

Everyone treats me like a dog!

He sneered:
"I, Tian Qi, gave you the money, you have to take it if you take it, and you have to take it if you don't take it!"
