Yuan Ye thought, this was their first meeting and he would need his care in the future, so a gift was essential. Although Murakami Yeo was only a second lieutenant, he had power, not to mention that there was Qian Hao hiding in his car.

Murakami Yefu took the receipt, put the money in his pocket, and said with a smile:

“Sato-kun, you’re welcome. I never thought you could open a trading company at such a young age. It’s really admirable.

Don't worry, as long as the goods are from Hengyuan Trading Company, I will take care of them."

"Thank you, Murakami-kun. Do you want to check the cargo?"

"Sato-kun, the procedure still needs to be followed."

After saying this, Murakami Yeo took two Japanese soldiers and walked around the truck, symbolically opening a box to take a look.

Qian Hao, who was hiding in the car, was so nervous that his heart was at the tip of his throat. He could not understand Japanese and had no idea what Mr. Wu was saying to the Japanese. However, he admired Mr. Wu very much in his heart. He thought that Mr. Wu was really capable and could speak Japanese so fluently. He even suspected that Mr. Wu was a Japanese.

Qian Hao didn't dare to breathe, and prayed in his heart that the Japanese would not move more boxes. However, the Japanese only looked at one box and left after a while. Qian Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I just heard that Mr. Wu and the Japanese were having a very pleasant conversation. It seems that the Japanese were giving Mr. Wu face and just gave him a symbolic look.

Murakami Yefu walked up to Yuan Ye and said:

"Okay, no problem, Sato-kun, remember to call me. It's rare to meet a fellow Kyoto native, so we must have a couple of drinks."

He wrote down a phone number on a piece of paper and gave it to Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"That's for sure, Murakami-kun, wait for my call."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Murakami Yeo also said with a smile.

He also wanted to get to know this rich fellow countryman, and this fellow countryman's surname was very noble, he should be from an aristocratic family, possibly a branch, otherwise he would not have drifted to China. But no matter what, he was much better than him, a commoner.

Yuan Ye got in the car, started it, waved to Murakami Yeo, and drove towards Jingpu Bridge.

After passing this last checkpoint, the journey was smooth. Yuan Ye asked Qian Hao to get out of the box and let him sit in the front seat of the cab.

Yuan Ye said:

"It's safe now. I'll take you to the town ahead and then go back after I unload the goods.

Here is 8,000 yuan. Go to Guangzhou first, then go to Hong Kong from Guangzhou. When you arrive in Hong Kong, send a telegram to the Secretary-General to let him know you are safe. Do not come back unless the Secretary-General tells you to.

Yuan Ye took out 8,000 yuan of French currency from his pocket and handed it to Qian Hao. Qian Hao said gratefully:

“Thank you so much, Mr. Wu. If it weren’t for you, I would have been caught by now, let alone escape from Shanghai.

I will repay you for saving my life someday."

Yuan Ye waved his hand and said calmly:

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the Secretary General."

……

Gu Yan arrived at the train station at around eleven o'clock in the morning. He stood among the crowd waiting to welcome guests. He had never met Yuan Ye's family, so he held up a sign with the name of Yuan Ye's father, Yuan Zhiqian, written on it.

After the train arrived at the station, Yuan Ye's parents and Yuan Ye's sister Yuan Wan followed the crowd to the exit. They were all very excited as they hadn't seen Yuan Ye for more than a year. In order to see her brother, Yuan Wan even took a few days off from school.

They looked around but didn't see Yuan Ye. Mother Yuan was a little anxious and said:

"Did Shi Kai not receive the telegram?"

Yuan Yue had sharp eyes and saw a young man holding a sign with Yuan Zhiqian's name on it. She quickly said:

"Dad, there's a man over there holding a sign with your name on it. My brother must have sent him to pick us up."

Yuan Zhiqian took a look and saw them as expected. They squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan was also looking around and saw a middle-aged couple with a girl about the same age as his sister walking towards him. He knew that these must be Yuan Ye's parents and sister.

He stepped forward and said enthusiastically:

"Uncle and aunt, you must be Yuan Ye's parents, right? I'm Yuan Ye's friend, Gu Yan. Yuan Ye has something to do and can't leave, so he asked me to pick you up at the train station."

"Yuan Ye?

My son's name is Yuan Shikai, not Yuan Ye. Is this a mistake?"

Yuan Zhiqian hesitated.

I thought, if I am not mistaken, could it be that my son changed his name?

"Oh, maybe he forgot to tell you that he has changed his name. Now he is no longer called Yuan Shikai, but Yuan Ye."

Gu Yan smiled.

In fact, he just heard from Yuan's father that Yuan Ye's original name was Yuan Shikai. He had never heard Yuan Ye mention it before.

But he was not surprised, because he knew that Yuan Ye was a very low-key person. Yuan Ye was a sharpshooter, knew Japanese, and was a good sketcher. He had never told him about this before, but discovered it later during the mission.

"Isn't the name Yuan Shikai a good one? Why did you change it to Yuan Ye?"

Yuan Zhiqian muttered.

I have a big question in my mind: what is my son doing now and why did he change his name?

Are you still doing something dangerous? That's why you need to change your name.

When Yuan Zhiqian thought of this, he became a little worried. He would definitely ask his son about it when he came.

More than a year ago, the war broke out and his son joined the army to fight the Japanese despite his opposition, which made him very worried. A few months ago, he sent a letter home saying that he had left the army and found a job in Shanghai. Only then did the whole family feel relieved.

Gu Yan saw that Yuan Zhiqian had a worried look on his face after hearing that Yuan Ye changed his name. He wondered if Yuan Ye’s father knew that Yuan Ye’s name change was a bit sensitive and guessed something?

Unexpectedly, Yuan Wan on the side said with a smile:

"Yuan Ye is a nice name, much better than Yuan Shikai.

I like it, I will call you brother Yuan Ye from now on."

"What do you know, crazy girl? You can't just change your name.

I asked a famous fortune teller in the city to give me the name Shi Kai. It is a very auspicious name. How can I change it just like that? "

Yuan Zhiqian blamed.

But Yuan Wan didn't buy it, she pouted and said:

"Our teacher said that this is feudal superstition. Now we need to develop a new cultural movement and promote 'Mr. Democracy' and 'Mr. Science'."

“I don’t know any Mr. Democracy or Mr. Science. I just know that things left by our ancestors should not be thrown away.

After studying for several years, I don't know the directions anymore. I read all these books in vain.

I see you are becoming more and more like your brother."

Yuan Zhiqian said angrily.

"What's wrong with being a brother? Just do what you want to do. That's what a man should do.

I want to be like my brother in the future!"

Yuan Wan showed no sign of weakness and her rebellious mentality was overflowing.

Gu Yan thought, it seems that the rebellious period of adolescence is the same for all people, and his sister Gu Yu is the same.

Seeing that the father and daughter were arguing again, Yuan's mother said quickly:

"It's fine if you fight at home, but you're still fighting in such a far place. It makes Xiao Gu laugh at you."

Turning to Gu Yan, he said:

"Xiao Gu, where are we going now? When will Shi Kai be able to come back?"
