After the three of them left, Wei Miao and the other two crawled out from under the table.

Louis was the calmest, pointing at the bright moon in the sky and saying:

"Let's continue looking at the moon."

Charlotte's cheeks flushed. She secretly glanced at the handsome boy in the moonlight and nodded slightly.

Wei Miao then racked his brains to tell many mythological stories, such as Houyi shooting down the sun, Marshal Tianpeng teasing Chang'e, and the Jade Rabbit coming down to earth to marry Tang Monk.

Looking at the two of them being so engrossed that they forgot about time and space, she breathed a sigh of relief and decided to ask Lu Pingsheng to give her more money.

It won’t work without three big yellow croakers!

"Next time you can use our family's astronomical telescope to observe it, it will be clearer." Charlotte said in a sweet voice.

Lewis listened to her words, changed his previous coldness, and asked her excitedly:

"You brought an astronomical telescope to the East?"

Charlotte nodded and said proudly:

"Just leave it at my house until the next fifteenth day of the month. No, we can go to see the moon together tomorrow night."

Louis agreed without thinking, after all, Wei Miao just said: "The moon on the 15th is full on the 16th."

He was eager to know, was there really a goddess on the moon in the east, and a man chopping trees and a rabbit?

"David, are you free tomorrow night?" Louis asked Wei Miao.

Wei Miao saw Charlotte biting her lips in confusion and waved her hand quickly:

"My mother is pregnant and I need to be with her."

The boy looked disappointed, the girl smiled sweetly, Wei Miao yawned with his hands covering his mouth, and asked Louis:

"What time is it now? Is the party about to end?"

Louis raised his wrist to look at his watch, and the boy frowned, "It's almost ten o'clock."

Charlotte was delighted because she had a date with the boy she liked. "Louis, time flies when I'm with you."

Wei Miao nodded, "Indeed, I feel very happy to be with you two."

"boom!"

There was a loud noise outside the terrace, interrupting what Louis was about to say.

There was a sudden burst of flames outside.

The three of them squatted in the corner with their heads in their hands, breathing rapidly.

Louis was the calmest, “Outside the terrace is where the hotel parking is.”

Charlotte’s face was pale, she pulled Louis’ sleeve and trembled, “Was it an assassination?”

Wei Miao shook his head blankly.

Louis said, "We can't go down now. There must be chaos downstairs. Let's go find Durand."

Wei Miao was very happy, she liked geniuses.

When she stood up, she turned her head to look at the fire. The thick smoke from the burning car was clearly visible in the moonlight.

More importantly, there was a humanoid object covered in flames wriggling in the cab.

Wei Miao could even hear the crackling sound of the oil burning on his body.

--------------

Dulandra, with messy hair, opened the door, shirtless, and looked at the three half-grown children standing outside the door, saying with a stern face:

"Louis, you better give me an explanation."

Louis' eyes flashed with disdain, and said:

"Cousin Durand, I remember you were a lieutenant in the active-duty navy. Didn't you hear the explosion just now?"

Durand yawned and said:

"You heard it, wasn't it an explosion? Do you know who hosted the cocktail party today? It was the chief patrol officer of the French Concession. There were at least six or seven patrol teams outside the Huizhong Hotel."

As soon as Durand finished speaking, whistles were heard one after another outside the hotel.

"Swish, swish, swish~~" The sharp sound can make people's heads hurt even from such a long distance.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Lu Pingsheng staggered to the door, wearing a white bathrobe with his chest open.

Durand felt the stench of alcohol coming towards him, and he quickly raised his hand to check his watch, cursing:

"Damn it, it's already ten o'clock, the party is about to end."

Lu Pingsheng burped and said to Durand in a vulgar way:

"Ms. Elsa seems to like you more. I'd better go home and go to bed."

After a while, the group went downstairs.

Lu Pingsheng put most of his body weight on Wei Miao. Although he was drunk, his eyes were already taking in everything downstairs.

Just as Durand said, there was still singing and dancing in the hall, and men and women were hugging each other and dancing gracefully on the dance floor.

Especially Xu Manhua, who was dressed in red, with her skirt fluttering freely, attracted most people's attention.

The Chief Inspector and Wu Ziyang looked very unhappy as they explained things.

Wu Ziyang nodded slightly, turned and left. When he reached the door, several patrolmen who were waiting hurriedly followed him.

However, Li Xiaoya was looking towards the Japanese women's quarters and talking with Matsui Yukiko, who served as her interpreter that day.

Tonight, I am destined to have no sleep.

Midnight, in the car on the way back.

Wu Ziyang was the driver, Li Xiaoya was silent in the passenger seat, and Lu Pingsheng was leaning crookedly on Wei Miao's small shoulder in the back seat.

"Brother Ziyang, they all said that the car of Director Kudo of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs exploded, and the person who was burned to death was also Director Kudo. Is the news accurate?"

Li Xiaoya asked casually.

Wei Miao was covering his mouth and yawning, but he suddenly became alert:

"Yes, Angkor, the death of a Japanese official in the French Concession is a diplomatic incident, isn't it?"

Wu Ziyang, who was originally upset, couldn't help laughing when he heard Wei Miao's words: "You little brat, you still know about diplomatic incidents?"

Wei Miao said: "It was Louis and Charlotte who told us that Allah knew about it."

Wu Ziyang thought about what Chief Patrolman Sharwen had said when he left:

You can take a few days off and prepare for your wedding. I will arrange for other people to investigate this matter. In the end, it was just a dispute between the foreign affairs departments. The most important thing for you now is the sulfa issue, and it would be best if you can get it resolved during this period of time.

Thinking about sulfa, Wu Ziyang felt depressed.

Because of the change, the share and profit he promised to Sharwen increased by another 10%. If it really didn't work, he had to convince Lu Pingsheng and others to sell it to Japan at double the price. . .

Accompanied by Lu Pingsheng's snoring, the small space of the car fell into silence again.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley. Wu Ziyang opened the door and tried to help Lu Pingsheng, but was pushed away by him.

"A Miao, take me home." Lu Pingsheng muttered.

Looking at the figures, one big and one small, walking in front, Li Xiaoya and Wu Ziyang, who were walking behind, remained silent.

The next day, Lu Pingsheng sobered up.

As soon as I went out, I saw Wei Miao sitting under the eaves, staring at the rain in a daze.

"Spring rain is as precious as oil. This year is a good year." Lu Pingsheng stretched lazily, in a good mood.

Wei Miao glanced at him.

Lu Pingsheng touched his nose awkwardly, turned back to his room, and took out three large yellow croakers for her:

"Greedy ghost, were you a Pixiu in your previous life?"

Wei Miao thought about the appearance of the Pixiu, rubbed his head, and said without comment:

"The Pixiu is greedy for money, but I am also greedy for food?"

Lu Pingsheng waved his hand and frowned:

"I'll be resting at home this morning. I'll go to your house for lunch at noon and talk to your parents about you."

Wei Miao took the big yellow croaker to the second floor and put it in the treasure chest that Lu Pingsheng had given her.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Wei Ada standing at the door greeting Lu Pingsheng. When he looked up and saw Wei Miao, he quickly said:

"Ah Miao, a woman about the same age as your mother came to your house and asked for you."

Wei Miao thought about it and found that there was no such person in her memory.

"She brought three cubs and offered expensive gifts, as if she was asking someone to do her a favor."

Wei Miao became even more confused after hearing this.

As Wei Ada returned home in the drizzle, he saw Xu Ayu talking to a haggard-looking woman in the main room.

The woman was wearing a plain plaid cheongsam, a black cardigan, and had her hair simply tied up. Three children, one big and two small, stood behind her.

When she saw Wei Miao coming back, she was stunned at first, and then she was about to kneel on the ground.

Xu Ayu hurriedly grabbed her, but the three children behind him had already knelt down.
