Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 901 Don’t Implicate Me, Old Man

Tianjin Station.

The square in front of the station was still bustling with people, and the white smoke from the steam locomotives filled the air, bringing with it the smell of coal ash.

There was a young man who came from the countryside to Tianjin to make a living. He was still immersed in the novelty of taking the train. When he got off the train and saw the bustling scene of Tianjin, he forgot where to go for a moment and stood there with his mouth open, looking around.

There were also gentlemen in long gowns waiting for people, and modern girls holding foreign paper umbrellas, but the girls always exuded the neat and bold spirit of Tianjin girls. If someone stepped on her foot, she would curse or laugh and joke with her companions, attracting the secret glances of others.

The ground is very clean. The Patrol Corps has set up a platform police station to not only take charge of public security but also hygiene.

Whether it is a rickshaw puller waiting to pick up customers or someone selling food at a stall, there are specially designated areas.

"Go to Nanshi, just two cents!"

"Sir, Madam, let's go!"

There were porters carrying large bags, shouting from time to time, "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, I'm stepping on your foot!"

A group of people got off the first-class carriage. The two leading them were both dressed in suits and ties. The younger one was none other than Lu Chenghua, who had visited Lin Ze before.

Lu Chenghua was Wang Jingwei's special envoy. When the Nanjing Reform Office was founded, no one from North China dared to go unless Lin Ze agreed. In the end, Lu Chenghua agreed to Lin Ze's price and paid over a million dollars before he could barely complete the task. After he returned, he has been laughed at until now.

The older one was obviously of higher status. He wore glasses, a suit, and was very polite.

After getting off the bus, he looked around and said, "I didn't expect that Tianjin is even better than Nanjing. Although it's bustling, it's neat and clean. What kind of people are standing guard? They are dressed neatly and majestically, and their behavior is very appropriate."

Lu Chenghua replied, "Deputy Minister, these are all from the Tianjin Police Corps. Since Lin Ze took over Tianjin, he has put a lot of effort into it. When I came here before, I felt that the atmosphere here was different. Now I see that it is even better than before."

The person he called Deputy Minister was Chen Junyan, the current Deputy Minister of Finance of the Jinling Reform Palace. This old guy was also a die-hard supporter of Wang Jingwei. He held a high position and was considered a big traitor.

Chen Junyan was somewhat disdainful when he heard this. "You keep talking about Lin Ze, but I don't think so. Tianjin has been a port for a long time and has long been a hub of commerce. How can it have been prosperous for just a few days? In my opinion, Lin Ze may have some tricks up his sleeve, but he's not as powerful as you say. This time, we'll meet him."

Lu Chenghua was speechless. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have said it. No one would believe him anyway. When he got beaten up, he would understand how powerful Master Lin was.

"What the Deputy Minister said is true. I have already booked the Astor Hotel, a famous place to stay in Tianjin. Why don't we go there to rest first, and then visit the Tianjin Military Police Headquarters."

When Chen Junyan heard this arrangement, he was very satisfied, "That's good."

The entourage hired a car or called a porter, and the group settled down in Lishun.

While they were staying there, Lin Ze received the news.

Director Niu has sent people to guard some key places in Tianjin, including places like Lishunde.

Senior officials from Jinling, such as Chen Junyan, were targeted as soon as they got off the train. When they arrived at the hotel, they found out exactly how many people had come with them and their identities.

Niu Saner went to report to Lin Ze, and Lin Ze understood after a little thought.

These people came here for the position of chairman of the North China Administrative Committee!

But this time, no matter how much money they pay, Lin Ze will not give in. The North China Administrative Committee cannot have someone sent by Jinling as chairman. This is not in Lin Ze's interest.

Sure enough, the next morning, Chen Junyan formally sent a letter to visit.

Lin Ze was listening to Dong Ling'er reading a newspaper summary. "Please arrange for us to go to the reception room. I'll be there soon."

At the entrance of the headquarters, Niu Saner came out and said to Chen Junyan with a smile: "Deputy Director Chen, Mr. Lu, I am sorry for not coming here to welcome you. I am so sorry for your disrespect. Please follow me in."

Lu Chenghua also recognized Niu Saner and took the initiative to flatter him, "Director Niu, it's been a long time since we last met. You look even more elegant now."

"How dare I, Brother Lu, you've worked so hard on this journey. I'm hosting a banquet tonight to welcome you and Brother Lu."

At this time, Chen Junyan muttered, "Is Colonel Lin so busy?"

What he meant was, why didn’t Lin Ze come out to greet him?

This old traitor Chen is indeed thinking in a habitual way. The way the Japanese devils in Nanjing get along with the Weixin Mansion is very different from that in North China.

In North China, the front army headquarters is the boss, and in the cities below, the gendarmerie headquarters is the boss again. Whether it is the administrative committee or the municipal government, they are power departments for ordinary people, but they are not enough in front of such military agencies.

However, in Tianjin, since the headquarters wanted to try to establish a puppet reform government that could operate independently, it gave a lot of power to Wang Jingwei and others. The Jinling Reform Government could collect taxes on its own, had its own army, and had its own secret service department. It was indeed more independent and more powerful.

Jinling claims to be the center, so how could Chen Junyan, the Deputy Minister of Finance, who considers himself a senior official of the center, not be greeted when he arrives at the local level?

Lu Chenghua was extremely embarrassed. He lowered his head to look at his feet and pretended not to hear.

Niu Saner's smile remained unchanged as he extended his hand and said, "Everyone, please."

Arrived at the reception room, sat down and was served tea.

After a cup of tea, Dong Ling'er rushed out of Lin Ze's office, her pretty face flushed and her big eyes watery.

Lin Ze came out later, looking very happy. He rubbed his fingers, feeling the smoothness, and hummed a little tune, "The first time I touched, I touched, and touched it, it was the edge of my sister's hair..."

When he reached the door of the reception room, he coughed, restrained his expression, and pushed the door open.

Everyone inside stood up, except Chen Junyan, who sat there holding a tea bowl, motionless.

Seeing this, Lin Ze sighed.

I just want to send you away, please don't be so mean as to offend me!

"Everyone, I apologize for not welcoming you in person. General Okamura called and I had to answer. Otherwise, I would have been there to greet you. I'm really rude. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Chen Junyan's expression brightened a little, and he stood up reluctantly. "Sorry to bother you, Colonel Lin. I'm Chen Junyan."

"I've heard of Deputy Director Chen's great name for a long time. It couldn't be better to ask him for advice in person today. Please take a seat, please take a seat."

Chen Junyan glanced at Lu Chenghua with a hint of pride, as if to say, look, Lin Ze is so polite to me.

Lu Chenghua looks at the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose.

Even though he had only dealt with Lin Ze once, he could sense what kind of person Lin Ye was. If he was teasing you openly and doing bad things to you, then there was nothing to talk about. But he was not related to you in any way, and the two sides had no common interests, yet he was so polite to you...

Damn, it looks like something bad is going to happen. Chen Junyan, you old bastard, please don’t implicate me!
