1928: The rise of giant merchants

After sending Minglou away, Ye Luo sealed all the information and immediately took the car back home.

Enter Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"Jianqiao, give this secret letter to Chen Zhen personally, and then ask him to personally take the convoy to Tianjin City and hand the secret letter to Zhang Hanqing." Ye Luo will record the secret of the Japanese plan to attack Rehe. The letter was handed to Shi Jianqiao in the front row, and he repeatedly warned, "Remember, Chen Zhen must be delivered to Zhang Hanqing in person, and no second person can pass."

"I understand, Second Young Master." Shi Jianqiao held the secret letter and nodded solemnly.

She knew that only if it was something extremely important, Ye Luo would ask her to deliver the letter in person. She immediately held the secret letter in her chest and would hand it over only after seeing Chen Zhen.

"Cao Fan, when Hengsan comes back, ask him to bring a group of brothers with reliable backgrounds, good water skills, and strong combat capabilities. After the Japanese escorted by the Japanese board the ship at Shiliupu Pier, they can follow him. It's best if they can Grab the information they smuggled out, and if that doesn’t work, destroy it all.”

Ye Luo told Cao Fan.

Hengsan took people to the Japanese mainland before to see if there was any chance to rescue Yin Fengji, who was imprisoned in the Japanese army prison. It was really not possible and it would be better to let him escape happily than to be cut into pieces by the Japanese invaders.

A hero shouldn't end up like that.

As for the information smuggled out from the Hongkou Dojo, the army and military will definitely not be able to take away all of them, and will definitely transport them in batches.

Then the Japanese expatriates and Japanese businessmen who evacuated with them are the best means of transportation.

After the Battle of Songhu, the first wave of evacuations were Japanese warships. At this time, they had to take ships to go to sea, and the passenger and cargo ships in Shiliupu were basically used by the Yip Steamship Company and the Japanese Nissin Company. monopoly.

No matter which ship they took, Ye Luo had a way of getting people on board to cause trouble.

"Yes, Second Young Master." Cao Fan nodded, keeping his instructions in mind.

arrive home.

Ye Zhuohua and Li Siye, who could already walk, ran wildly in the living room. Xiaoli looked helplessly at her young master and young lady, pouting angrily, and could only follow quickly for fear of falling and knocking them.

The mahjong table in the living room has been empty for a long time. The mahjong quartet and other women either go out shopping or go about their own business, and rarely stay in Ye Mansion during the day.

There is no other reason.

Bai Xiuzhu, Xiao Aqiao and Huixin have been here day and night recently. They don't want to hang around Ye's house all the time and make the eldest and second wives in charge of the family dislike them.

At this time, the three girls were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and talking quietly. Huixin was telling them about her experiences in the United States in English while nursing her cute little daughter Ye Hongdou.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Luo squeezed into the middle of the three of them and joked in English.

Bai Xiuzhu rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile: "We are practicing our English. Husband, didn't you say you would consider settling overseas in the future? If your English is too poor, you won't even be able to leave home."

"Yes, compared with Xiuzhu and Huixin, my English is much worse. I need to practice it hard." Little Aqiao also agreed.

"Yes." Ye Luo took the tea from Bai Xiuzhu, took a sip, hugged the two of them with one arm, and then said to Huixin with a smile, "I have arranged a flight back to the United States for you. Do you want to take Hongdou with you?" Let’s go together or let her stay here?”

"When will we set off?" Huixin made a mental note. She knew that with her status, it was impossible to stay in the Ye family for a long time. Moreover, she was also a U.S. senator and needed to help Ye Luo politically.

But these days, she finally got to know Bai Xiuzhu and the girls, and now she has to leave again, and she really can't bear to leave.

"The plane will fly the day after tomorrow." Ye Luo said.

"Are you so anxious? You can go back after this summer, right?" Bai Xiuzhu was also a little reluctant to leave Huixin.

When she first learned that Ye Hongdou was Ye Luo's daughter, she was sulky for several days. But later, after learning about Huixin's devotion to Ye Luo and the foreseeable helpless fate in the future, her anger suddenly turned into pity.

As a woman, she knew how painful it felt to be unable to be with the man she loved for the rest of her life, and to have to help him do things in the political and business circles.

"No, there will be an election in the next few years. Huixin must rush back to support Franklin." Ye Luo shook his head and said in a decisive tone.

Franklin was one of the most critical figures who influenced the trend of World War II. If we could support him all the way, it would be very beneficial to the development of Ye's Investment in the United States.

"I understand. Then I, let me leave Hongdou here. There are too many uncertainties there, and I can't take care of it alone. I can rest assured that Hongdou will be taken care of by Sister Xiuzhu."

Huixin glanced at Ye Hongdou who was sucking her breasts, her eyes full of reluctance and love.

Her two daughters, one Li Siye and the other Ye Hongdou, are now being raised by Bai Xiuzhu. Maybe in a few years, they won't even know their mother.

Thinking about this, she was still very disappointed.

But what can be done?

She had already made her decision when Ye Luo asked her if she wanted to continue living as Huixin or as Mrs. Dewitbucket.

"Okay, sister Huixin, don't worry, I will help you raise Hongdou to be white and fat." Bai Xiuzhu said to her seriously.

After the two had a deep sisterly relationship for a while, Ye Luo secretly made a look and asked Xiao Aqiao to invite Ye Yuqiao to the study.

Little Ah Qiao understood this and subdued the noisy Ye Zhuohua with a single move.

"Mother~" Ye Zhuohua was still afraid of kissing his mother.

"Okay, it's time to go study with your sister." Xiao Aqiao knocked on her son's head and asked him to hold Li Siye's hand and go upstairs.

Huixin and Bai Xiuzhu understood and went to the kitchen on the first floor to cook and chat with their stepmother.

Ye Luo walked slowly up to the second floor and came to the study room, where he found Ye Yuqiao and Ye Hao were both there.

"Dad, big brother." Ye Luo closed the door and asked them to sit down together.

"What's wrong, A Luo, are you having trouble with the acquisition of Hongkou Dojo?" Ye Hao sat down carelessly, unbuttoned the collar of his suit, and slammed a glass of water into his mouth.

He had just come out of Ye's Security Company. As the company expanded, his subordinates became more and more diverse. He had to select the best and constantly promote elites to help manage the people below. This was not what he was good at, so he was in a mess recently.

"No. Take a look at this." Ye Luo took out the spy list and handed it to them.

Ye Yuqiao raised his eyebrows, and after reading it carefully, he looked overjoyed: "Is this the list of Japanese spies in the south?"

"Yes. Basically all the spies in the south are included, but unfortunately there are only those in Japan, and there is no list of Japanese puppets." Ye Luo sighed.

"Leave this to our Anti-Japanese Traitor Extermination Group." Ye Yuqiao took the list directly, and looked at Ye Luo with approval, "A Luo, you are very good. You do business without forgetting to save the country. I am very pleased."

"Dad, don't do too many assassinations, and it's best not to touch the top leaders of the Kuomintang." Ye Luo hesitated again and again, but still said this.

As the "suppression of bandits" became more and more severe, the principal was thinking about "maintaining peace" like a lunatic when the national crisis was at its head. Ye Yuqiao and his group of ambitious people began to feel strongly dissatisfied.

He knew that after a while, Ye Yuqiao and his group would start planning to assassinate the top leaders of the Kuomintang, especially the members of the Wang Puppet faction in the Jiangcheng National Government.

But this is really too risky.

"What are you talking about? Can't you see what kind of people the Kuomintang's high-ranking officials are? If they continue like this, the country will perish sooner or later!" Ye Yuqiao said coldly, "A Luo, you have to distinguish between family affairs, national affairs and world affairs."

"Dad! A Luo is also doing this for our family. We have to fight against the Japanese step by step, right?" Ye Hao hurriedly helped his brother and his father to smooth things over.

"You are the same! You don't know how to get married at such an old age!" Ye Yuqiao waved his sleeves and scolded Ye Hao, who was choked and speechless.

Ye Luo had to smile bitterly and told him not to be angry, and to discuss this matter later.

Although Ye Yuqiao was more open-minded than most heads of the Republic of China, due to the times and personal character, Ye Luo could not persuade him on some things.

He had to follow his lead and try to save some people. (End of this chapter)
