"Why, you didn't enjoy training us back then, and you want to bring another grandchildren's closed disciple?"

"I do mean that, but he may not be willing. His teacher's status and knowledge are all above mine." Zhang Jingjiang laughed.

"That's not necessarily the case. You are the first-rate when it comes to morality, writing and knowledge. What foreigners do doesn't work in China." Sheng Youde told the truth.

"Don't praise me, I know who I am. This kid is more promising than Lu Yunfan back then. I think Lu Yunfan was timid when he first came to Shanghai in the past few years. His son handles affairs simply, clearly, and decisively." Zhang Jingjiang made no secret of his love and admiration for Lu Ming.

"After all, you have studied in the United States, and your knowledge, vision, structure, and attitude are all different from ours back then. Aren't you the same? The experience in the French embassy when you were young helped you a lot, right?"

"Yeah, young people should go out boldly, broaden their horizons, learn more things, and not be overwhelmed by skills. Only those who can overlook the world can accurately control the overall situation. If they are only confined to a corner, It won't be too promising." Zhang Jingjiang said calmly.

"Yeah, now I also regret not letting Sheng Di go to study abroad."

"It's not too late to let him out now." Zhang Jingjiang said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Sheng Youde was surprised.

"I don't mean anything. I just said that Sheng Di is not very old now. Instead of letting him indulge in romance all day long, it's better to let him go out and learn more."

Sheng Youde fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhang Jingjiang didn't continue talking. After all, this was Sheng Youde's family matter, and he couldn't interfere too much.

Although he is Sheng Youde's master, but now his disciple is worth a lot of money, the richest man in Shanghai is already very promising, so he can't always talk down others.

"Youde, just remember that Shanghai is too important to the government of the Republic of China. Apart from money, it is also a battlefield for international power games. You must firmly hold the initiative in your own hands. Sometimes, you have to If you can endure, you must have a strategy." Zhang Jingjiang

"I understand what Jing Lao means. Keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity to attack."

The two laughed together.

After leaving Sheng's mansion, Lu Ming was going to go back to Wanguo Apartment to see if there was anything unusual there. In addition, if An Gonggen and the others had urgent letters, he could bring them out.

Lu Ming returned to the Wanguo apartment building by car, but saw a lot of people gathered outside the building, blocking the gate of the building noisily.

"What's going on here?" Lu Ming asked a passer-by who was stretching his head to watch the excitement.

"I don't know, I just got here too." The passer-by shook his head.

Lu Ming's heart sank, he instinctively felt that this must have something to do with An Gonggen and the others.

He squeezed through the crowd, and a person with sharp eyes caught sight of him and shouted, "Master Lu is here, Master Lu is here."

It didn't matter if he shouted, all the people gathered here turned to him in unison.

A man in a Chinese tunic suit squeezed in front of him and asked loudly: "Master Lu, I heard that you became a concubine in a rage last night and made trouble at the Shanghai Police Station. Is there such a thing?"

Lu Ming didn't know who it was, he was startled and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, more than a dozen cameras around him were pointing at him, with flashes of light, which irritated him so much that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

It was only then that Lu Ming realized that the people present were all reporters. They heard what happened last night and came to interview him.

The gossip and the fight in the police station, it's just news.

"Hi, Master Lu. I'm a reporter from Ta Kung Pao. May I ask if you took away an important prisoner from the police station last night by virtue of your power?" A young man in a cheap suit asked first.

"It's absolutely nothing." Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Then do you deny it? I heard that you forcibly took away your lover. May I ask, how many lovers do you have?" The reporter continued to ask.

"It's absolutely nothing." Lu Ming replied with a forced smile.

"Master Lu, I'm a reporter from Shenbao, did you attack a police inspector last night?" A reporter continued to ask.

"It's absolutely nothing." Lu Ming still replied with the same sentence.

At this time, a photographer came over, took a lot of pictures of him, and then asked: "Master Lu, I am a reporter for the pictorial of "Liangyou", may I ask if you took a female prisoner away from the police station? She is a girl from Changsan Shuyu, she is very beautiful."

"You are all mistaken, I have nothing to say." Lu Ming raised his hands in the air, shaking them again and again.

As he spoke, he pushed his way through the crowd and through the gates of the apartment building.The building administrator was guarding the building with a stick in his hand to prevent reporters from sneaking in.

Fortunately, the reporters all knew the rules. They knew that Wanguo Apartment was no less than a concession, and they couldn't just break into it. They had no choice but to continue to stand outside the gate.

Lu Ming had a headache for a while, but he quickly understood that this must be a good thing done by the Japanese, whether it is the people from the Japanese consulate or the people from the Manchurian Railway, in short, they leaked the news behind their backs, and even added fuel to it, which attracted so many people. Reporters from the media swarmed in.

"Master Lu, do you want me to ask the higher-ups to send someone to drive these reporters away?" asked the building administrator.

"No need, as long as they don't barge in, that's fine. If they want to stay outside, let them guard." Lu Ming said as he slipped a few oceans into the administrator's pocket.

The real headache for him is not these reporters, but the people who are full of iron.He found several people who seemed to be full of iron in the crowd.They didn't dodge either, they seemed to want Lu Ming to find out that this was not only a public demonstration, but more like a direct oppression.

This made him realize that the Japanese might have guessed that An Gonggen and the others were hiding here, and the reason why they didn't come in to arrest them was because they were not sure yet, or they came in for a while without a legitimate reason.

The management rules of the building are extremely strict. If you are not a resident of this apartment, you can only stay in the lobby. If you want to meet guests, you can only come down to meet the guests. People like Lu Ming who can bring guests into their apartment Not many.

Lu Ming got along well with the building administrator, and there were constant small favors, so he turned a blind eye to him.

"Is there any Japanese in here?" Lu Ming asked in a low voice.

"I'm watching, but I haven't found it yet, but the owner just called and asked if there is any room available, saying that some Japanese want to rent a room here."

"How did you answer, are there any vacant rooms?"

"There are currently three suites that are vacant. But I told the owner to check the register, and there was a commotion outside."

"I've rented it all out, go through the formalities for me right away. You tell the landlord that the house was rented out a few days ago, and there are no vacant rooms." Lu Ming said hastily.

"Master Lu, why are you renting so many rooms?" the administrator asked curiously.

"I don't like being neighbors with Japanese people, not even upstairs or downstairs." Lu Ming said angrily.

The administrator laughed, and he also guessed that it might have something to do with the people hiding in Lu Ming's room, but he knew that silence was golden, so he never asked more questions.

The administrator turned around and made a phone call to report to the owner that there were no vacant rooms in the building and they were all rented out.

The administrator quickly went through the renting procedures for Lu Ming, and Lu Ming paid all the money on the spot, and gave the administrator a tip of [-] oceans.

Yes, it's a tip. Of course, this "tip" is not a tip for renting a house, but a hush-hush fee for the administrator to keep his mouth shut, including the benefit fee for his timely provision of information.
