I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

As Lu Pingsheng analyzed, after more than half a month of negotiations and exchanges, and mediation by countries led by Britain and the United States, the French compromised on the surface.

The warm spring weather in April has dispelled the tense atmosphere in Shanghai. . .

Lu Pingsheng and Feng Zhenzhen are still studying the secret passage.

However, Wei Miao was in the hospital discussing Lu Pingsheng's condition with Durand who came to see the doctor.

"Before Dr. White returned home, he said that as long as Brother Lu was healthy and the blood clots on his head subsided, he would be sober."

The warm spring sun makes people drowsy. Wei Miao, who is sleep-deprived due to work, can't stand being tested again and again.

Once again, he brought up Dr. Brian White's diagnosis results.

"Oh, poor Luca, my friend~" Durand's sadness at this moment was somewhat genuine, but it was not much compared to the huge profits.

"David, I have no choice. The fleet to Europe is about to arrive at the port. After the return voyage, various details are related to everyone's interests. They chose me as a representative..."

Wei Miao thought about the shipping shareholders' meeting after Brother Lu's accident. Except for Bai Meigui, no one else showed up.

They didn't even make a move to send a representative. I guess this group of people have already figured out how to divide up the profits in Brother Lu's hands.

Not only the fleet, but also various assets and investments in Shanghai.

After all, in the eyes of these people, Brother Lu is just an antique dealer with no background.

"Mr. Durand, it's too early to discuss this now. Calculating the time, the ship will arrive in the port in a few days. Should we discuss it after the cargo is anchored in Hong Kong Island?"

Durand looked at the young girl in front of him. Perhaps she had grown up. The sunlight shining on her fair and delicate cheeks made her look so gorgeous that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

But she said these words with extraordinary calmness, and no one could underestimate her.

"David, I know you are smart and resourceful. You have managed Mr. Lu's assets in Shanghai very well, but the capital behind shipping is huge. Even I have to use most of it to deal with the people behind me, and barely keep the little profit..."

Wei Miao heard his good intentions, his eyes turned slightly, and he persuaded again with a smile:

"Mr. Durand, you are a good friend of Brother Lu. He has been in a coma these days, so I have borrowed your name to protect him. I also know your difficulties, but nothing has been decided yet. Let's talk about it after the goods arrive at the port?"

Durand was about to speak when he saw his personal assistant walking in with a man sweating profusely.

"Mr. Durand, it's bad. The fleet lost the signal when approaching Hong Kong Island Bay..."

"what?"

Durand stood up suddenly, then strode to the man who reported the news, grabbed his collar without any gentlemanly manners, and said word by word:

"What's going on?"

The ships in their fleet were all converted from retired warships of the French army. Most of them were equipped with radio functions and had frequent contact with the land.

The reason why he made up his mind to come to Wei Miao was that this time the cargo included a large amount of sulfa and sugar, and the Japanese representative, the Aso family, expressed their willingness to buy a large amount of this cargo at a high price. . .

He did a simple calculation and realized that after this deal was done, he could just lie back and relax for the rest of his life. If he also persuaded Wei Miao to transfer his shares, he would become the richest person in the family with a stable business model.

Wei Miao looked at Durand, whose face suddenly changed, and said with a bit of gloating:

"Mr. Durand, it seems you need to worry about this first. Otherwise, if you don't have a fleet, what else can you talk about?"

Durand was no fool. He looked at Wei Miao in astonishment and asked angrily, "You did it?"

He did not say that it was Lu Pingsheng's arrangement, but easily accepted that it was Wei Miao's method.

The smile on Wei Miao's face quickly disappeared, and he waved his hands quickly, "It's not me! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Durand obviously didn't believe it, but looked at her straight, "David, do you know what you are doing?"

Wei Miao was unhappy and denied loudly: "It really wasn't me."

"Really?"

Wei Miao nodded heavily. What did what Brother Lu asked Cowboy and Sister Ling to do have to do with her, Wei Miao?

"Could it be the authorities and the Japanese?" Wei Miao reminded Durand.

Only the Kang family in the government and the Aso family in Japan could pull off such a big move as robbing a heavily-fired cargo ship.

Durand glanced suspiciously at the fox-like boy in front of him, and finally said uncertainly:

"I'll go and test the waters first. Be prepared. They might take this opportunity to cause trouble."

Wei Miao spread his hands helplessly, "Brother Lu is unconscious, you guys thought he was dead, the fleet is gone, why are you making trouble? Can you find the fleet by arresting and killing me?"

Durand looked deeply at the boy with his blue eyes, then turned and left with his men.

Wei Miao picked up the pre-rain Longjing tea which was at just the right temperature, took a sip, and the fragrance lingered in his mouth.

A fragrant breeze blew beside him, and the beautiful woman chuckled and said, "Oh, the little brat also has such a strong aura. You really played the pig to eat the tiger that day."

Wei Miao knew that she was still upset about not discovering him in the teahouse. "I heard that when Miss Feng was in the Japanese Concession, she liked to tease Xiuqiu and Kong Fang?"

When Feng Zhenzhen heard Wei Miao mention the two little lions, she smiled sincerely, "They are smart and cute, very lovable."

Wei Miao poured himself another cup of tea. "But they are ferocious beasts. I heard from Brother Yang that Laba is now feeding them live chickens to train their hunting instincts?"

Feng Zhenzhen thought of the half-grown lion cub, crawling and waiting, leaping upon its prey, and killing it with one blow. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Although Ahri is a cat, he taught them well."

Wei Miao blinked, "So, are they still cute?"

Feng Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Wei Miao. The little brat went through so much trouble just to tell her that she was not pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, but that she was the tiger.

childish!

The childish Wei Miao yawned and prepared to go back to his room to continue his nap which was interrupted by Durand's sudden visit.

As I walked into the living room, the phone rang and the door was knocked at the same time.

Feng Zhenzhen gestured for her to answer the phone first and went to open the door herself.

Now everyone in the alley knows that she is the woman who loves Mr. Lu madly. After Mr. Lu got into trouble, his fiancée never came to visit him once. Instead, her lover took care of him every day and was very much liked by the aunties and grandmas in the alley.

Wei Miao picked up the receiver and Bai Meigui's voice came out.

"Ah Miao, the fleet disappeared near Hong Kong Island Bay, did you know?"

"Yes, Mr. Durand has just left me."

Bai Meigui paused and cursed, "Bah, you are a foreign devil who forgets his principles when he sees profit!"

Wei Miao laughed and reminded her, "Miss Bai, be careful with your words."

Nowadays, telephones are monitored. The incident involving Takahashi Eiichir has shown that the Japanese spy agency has begun to suspect Brother Lu, but it was suppressed by the He Aso family, which is headed by the navy.

The Kang family of the government's Ministry of Finance and the Cheng family from the secret service are of the same blood.

Now they are all ready to eat up Brother Lu, who is a dead end, and they are probably monitoring him all the time.

"I'm glad you know. They agreed to meet at the teahouse on the pier tonight."

Wei Miao hung up the phone after he knew it.

I turned around and looked at Dr. Ding who was already sitting on the sofa. He didn't look very well either.

"Miss Bai?" he asked.

"Well, let's meet at the teahouse on the pier at six o'clock tonight."

To be honest, Wei Miao didn't want to see the Japanese. Who knew if these people brought some viruses from the Japanese concession?

In the germ bomb incident in March, both sides controlled the spread of information, and ordinary people knew nothing about it except that the atmosphere was tense during those days as if a war was about to break out.

If Wei Miao hadn't done this himself, he would have felt like nothing had happened.
