The two arrived at the Star Cafe next to Paramount by car. After sitting down, they ordered two cups of freshly ground Italian coffee. Not long after, the coffee came up, and a strong aroma of coffee came over their faces.

Lu Ming took a sip, smacked his lips and praised: "Mmm, it smells so good, I haven't had such authentic coffee for a long time."

"Mr. Lu is very talkative. The coffee ingredients here are authentic, and they are among the best in Shanghai." Yan Xiaohui said with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that you often come here for coffee." Lu Ming's reasoning has become a habit.

"Well, every day after I get off work, I must come here to drink a cup of coffee, enjoy a moment, and then go home."

What Lu Ming wanted was black coffee, and what Yan Xiaohui wanted was cappuccino with cream. The cup was embroidered with a pattern of roses on top of the cup, making it hard to bear to drink it.

"I really need your help with this matter. The Sheng family was poisoned collectively. Do you know the result of the test sheet?"

"I don't know, there was no test at that time, and we were trying our best to rescue the patients. Afterwards, the test was done, but the last test procedure was completed by the director himself. After the test results came out, he destroyed the original data." Yan Xiaohui road.

"Why destroy the test results?" Lu Ming's palms were sweating, and he suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

"I heard it was the instruction of President Sheng." Yan Xiaohui said with a mysterious smile.

"Chairman Sheng... asked the hospital to destroy the test results? You're not mistaken, are you?" Lu Ming's mind was a little confused. If it was true, why did Sheng Youde hide it from him.

"You can ask President Sheng himself to know about this." When Yan Xiaohui laughed, her long eyelashes flickered up and down, and her pair of beautiful big eyes seemed to radiate stars.

Lu Ming was a little dazed.Facing Yan Xiaohui's discharge and Sheng Youde's secrecy, he really didn't know how to respond.

"I met you in the hospital today. I believe in fate. Things happen for a reason." Lu Ming started his detective routine.

He felt that Yan Xiaohui knew the test results, otherwise it would be impossible to invite him here for coffee. The reason why he made an appointment here was because there are some things that are difficult to say in the hospital.

"I know the truth, but it's inconvenient to tell you. President Sheng probably didn't tell you either, right?" Yan Xiaohui regained that kind of intellectual beauty exuding a faint fragrance, knowing that she failed to discharge.

But she wasn't annoyed, instead she admired Lu Ming even more.

"Old man Sheng didn't tell me, maybe he forgot, just tell me." Lu Ming laughed.

"This incident has had a great impact on the Sheng family. If President Sheng didn't tell you, there must be a reason, and it's also inconvenient for me to tell you." Yan Xiaohui said lightly.

Lu Ming was stunned, he never thought it would be like this, and he would lose his grace if he continued to question.

"Then what can I do to tell you the truth?" Lu Ming chased after him in a different way.

"You want to buy me? My price is not low." Yan Xiaohui smiled slyly.

"I don't dare to think of buying you. I can only say this. I will accept whatever price you offer." Lu Ming blocked her retreat.

Lu Ming wouldn't think too much if he could find the test results in the hospital, but the reality is: the branches are used as crutches—something always goes wrong.

Sheng Youde actually ordered the dean to destroy the test results, which is very interesting, he must find out the truth.

He hadn't thought about whether this matter had anything to do with Sheng Muyi's disappearance, but he had to filter everything that happened in the Sheng family before and after Sheng Muyi's disappearance, not letting go of any detail.

"Have you ever thought that Chairman Sheng's failure to tell you the truth is a form of protection for you?" Yan Xiaohui carefully expressed his inner thoughts.

"Protect me? What I need is the truth. Tell me the truth as soon as possible to protect me!" Lu Ming replied decisively without any explanation.

Yan Xiaohui weighed it over and over again, and finally bit her beautiful lips and whispered two words: "Dog poison."

"Ah?" Lu Ming asked in surprise.He once thought that this was the trump card, but he didn't dare to believe that in medical matters, you can't rely on your feelings, and the test results are the only evidence.

"As long as you know it, it's better to rot in your stomach." Yan Xiaohui said nervously.

She really didn't want to tell Lu Ming, but she was afraid that he would be disappointed, so she hesitated for a while and still didn't keep her mouth shut.

Sheng Youde spent a large sum of money to ask Tongren Hospital to destroy the test results, it must be a last resort.

Yan Xiaohui participated in some of the laboratory work, and later learned of the test results by accident. If she hadn't had an admiration for Lu Ming, she would never have revealed it.

Has the Japanese black hand extended to Shanghai?

Lu Ming felt a little heavy in his heart, and he suddenly understood that Sheng Youde talked to him about the situation in Europe that night, but did not talk about Asia, which meant that he was careful about the Japanese.

Although porpoise is found in many Asian countries, only the Japanese are good at extracting porpoise toxin, and the Japanese are also particularly good at using porpoise toxin.

Lu Ming sighed and said, "Thank you for letting me know. I've made a note of this favor. If there is a need for my services in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

"I have to add one more thing: on call." Yan Xiaohui teased.

"Well, add another one and go all out." Lu Ming also smiled.

Lu Ming called the clerk and took out his wallet to pay the bill, but the clerk looked at Yan Xiaohui and remained silent.

Yan Xiaohui smiled and said: "You can't pay the bill if you come with me, they won't take your money."

"why?"

"Because this store is run by our family." Yan Xiaohui smiled and waved, and the clerk left.

Lu Ming had no choice but to put away his wallet in embarrassment, and thanked him.

"You owe me once, don't forget to return it someday." Yan Xiaohui smiled.

"Sure, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Lu Ming walked out of Xingchen Cafe feeling a little confused, the sudden news made him a little stunned and a little bit resentful.

Could it be that the Japanese were the ones who attacked the Sheng family?What faction is it?Business or politics?

The Japanese are getting more and more rampant, and their hands are getting longer and longer. It's a bit deceptive to fight Sheng Youde in Shanghai Bund.

Shanghai Bund is not the Northeast, it is the money bag of the government of the Republic of China, the core of industry and commerce.

Although the capital of the Republic of China government was built in Nanjing, the economic center was still in Shanghai. Shanghai, as the economic center of the South, had its foundation laid in the late Qing Dynasty. A large part of the economic blood of the Republic of China government came from Shanghai.

On the big stage of Shanghai, all the powers of the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their special abilities, but in line with the principle that the mighty dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes, try to cooperate with local forces instead of confrontation, and share instead of embezzlement.

It's not that the foreign forces are benevolent and friendly, but that they are not strong enough to swallow the fat of Shanghai. In addition, any force that wants to monopolize Shanghai will be counterattacked by other forces.

Whose interests are whose boundaries, this account cannot be calculated by one country, it must be discussed and settled by several big countries and Shanghai's gang forces.

This is somewhat like the Monroe Doctrine in the United States.

The influence of the Japanese in Shanghai is not strong. Compared with the Anglo-American legal system, he is just a younger brother. However, in recent years, he has been eager to try. The various forces of various Japanese gangs distributed in Shanghai are also ready to move.

Even so, Lu Ming still did not believe that the Japanese were so stupid that they dared to challenge the No. [-] person in Shanghai.

Lu Ming shook his head. Although he knows a lot about the situation in Shanghai, those may be superficial phenomena, and he has no way of knowing the deep competition between the various forces.

He was walking along the street when a car horn woke him from his thoughts.

"A person looking lost, what are you thinking?" Lu Ming knew it was Yuan Mingzhu without looking, and turned his head to see that Yuan Mingzhu was sitting in Ning Xiner's Pontiac and waving to him.

Ning Xin'er still maintained that aloof image, with her beautiful head held high, staring straight ahead, the silk scarf around her neck fluttering in the wind.

"Hello, Sister Ning." Lu Ming hurried over to say hello.

"En." Ning Xin'er hummed without blinking her eyelids.

Lu Ming laughed secretly, you said that you, a young girl, are tired of pretending to be like a statue every day.But he really didn't dare to provoke this unusual master, and he was the only one in Shanghai.

Yuan Mingzhu got out of the car, turned around and said, "Sister, you go back first, I'll talk to him."

"Humph."

Ning Xin'er snorted coldly, and then drove away, leaving behind a straight afterimage.

Lu Ming was stunned, and Yuan Mingzhu smiled triumphantly, "Have you seen how amazing it is? Compared with her, I'm kind and gentle, right?"

"Well, of course you are as tender as water, not as cold as her. How can you get married? I'm so worried." Lu Ming laughed.

"You, don't worry about it. She won't worry about getting married. In fact, she is like this, and she is like this at home. She is only behaved in front of the old lady."

"By the way, why did you come here?" Lu Ming asked.

"You can come here, but we can't."

"No..." Lu Ming hesitated to speak.

This area is where the entertainment venues in Shanghai are more concentrated. He did not expect to see Yuan Mingzhu and Ning Xiner in this area.

"Fool, of course we came to Paramount to dance."

"You still like to dance? Why don't I know." Lu Ming watched Yuan Mingzhu look up and down, he really didn't know.

"Of course I don't like it, but someone likes it. If they drag me here, I can only come here. I would risk my life to accompany a gentleman." Yuan Mingzhu sighed.

"Ice beauty likes to dance? It takes two people to cooperate to dance." Lu Ming said in surprise.

"Sister Ning, don't call him a nickname."

"No, even if she likes to dance, who would dare to be her dance partner?"

Lu Ming was very surprised, oh my god, who wants to dance with an ice sculpture in his arms, isn't he afraid of freezing.

"I said, what are you worrying about? Sister Xin'er's dance partner was the last world champion of ballroom dance, so handsome." Yuan Mingzhu said.

"You guys also dance modern dance?" Lu Ming had a look of disbelief.

"Yeah, tango. Sister Xin'er only likes to dance tango." Yuan Mingzhu smiled until her teeth were all exposed, and she quickly covered her mouth.

"Does Paramount play tango too?" Lu Ming still didn't believe it.

"Of course, as long as Sister Ning arrives, the Paramount Ballroom will immediately play three dance pieces in a row! Everyone in the dance hall has become an audience. If you don't believe me, go and ask, who doesn't know Sister Ning's modern dancing figure!" Yuan Mingzhu said The name did not come up in vain, it really is like a pearl.
