The Phantom Butterfly of the Republic of China

Matsumoto Tsubota was very satisfied with everyone's performance. As long as they were afraid, his next actions and plans would be easy. Jin Ling looked at Matsumoto Tsubota's eyes full of madness and knew that this man was a complete lunatic, but Jin Ling only knew it in his heart. When he saw Matsumoto Tsubota looking at him, he immediately lowered his head so that Matsumoto Tsubota would not notice his abnormality.

Matsumoto Tsubota evaluated everyone's work ability in front of Yamamoto Takeshiro, and didn't give Yamamoto Takeshiro any face. Everyone subconsciously looked at Yamamoto Takeshiro's face and found that Yamamoto Takeshiro's face was livid. But Matsumoto Tsubota didn't seem to notice and was very happy. Because Matsumoto Tsubota was an extremely conceited person, Yamamoto Takeshiro looked at the complacent Matsumoto Tsubota and wanted to shoot him in the head.

After listening to Matsumoto Tsubota's one-hour lecture, Matsumoto Tsubota stopped because he felt thirsty. Matsumoto Tsubota looked at the people who were being lectured by him like quails and felt very satisfied. Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here today. I hope to get your report tomorrow morning." Everyone was relieved and immediately stood at attention and saluted and said in unison, "Yes." Then everyone walked out together.

When Jin Ling was about to go out, Matsumoto Tsubota called her, "Yuri Keiko, you stay first." Matsumoto said. Jin Ling also knew that Matsumoto Tsubota would definitely call her. After all, Lily Keiko and Matsumoto Tsubota had some old friendship. Jin Ling heard the voice and turned around and said, "Colonel Matsumoto, is there anything else?" Matsumoto Tsubota stood up from his seat and walked to Jin Ling and said, "Keiko, you can call me Tsubota or Matsumoto-kun." Jin Ling looked at Matsumoto Tsubota who came in front of her and thought that this guy was good-looking. Jin Ling was distracted for only a second and immediately came back to his senses and said, "Yes, Matsumoto-kun, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Matsumoto Tsubota shook his hand and said, "Can I invite you to have lunch together?" Jin Ling looked at Matsumoto Tsubota and replied, "Matsumoto-kun, probably not. I have an appointment with my husband Minnan to have lunch at noon today."

When Matsumoto heard the name, his face turned pale, then he changed his face and said, "Oh, is Natsuki-kun also in Shanghai?" Jin Ling looked at Matsumoto's change of expression and said with amusement, "Yes, we got married ten days ago. If Matsumoto-kun had come earlier, he could have drunk our wedding wine." Jin Ling knew in his heart that Matsumoto Tsubota must know that Yuri Keiko and Natsuki Minnan were married. He asked him so suddenly. Was he doubting himself, or was he doubting Natsuki Minnan?

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Matsumoto Tsubota said as if he had just heard the news: "What, you are married, shouldn't Natsuki-kun be in the Tohoku region?" Jin Ling looked at Matsumoto Tsubota's calm eyes and said: "Yes, we are married, so I can't have lunch with Matsumoto-kun today." Matsumoto Tsubota said to Jin Ling with a sad expression: "That's such a pity, I thought I could have lunch with you, Keiko today, how about we make an appointment next time?" Jin Ling didn't know whether Matsumoto Tsubota really loved Yuri Keiko, but after thinking about this man's madness, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, Matsumoto-kun, let's make an appointment next time when we have time." Matsumoto Tsubota looked at Jin Ling, shook his hand and asked Jin Ling to go out. Jin Ling bowed to Matsumoto Tsubota and walked out of the office.

After Jin Ling walked out of the office, he looked back at the door with a frown on his face, while Matsumoto Tsubota inside the door also looked at the door with a thoughtful look on his face. Both of them had their own agendas, and judging from what happened just now, they seemed to be quite harmonious on the surface. Of course, it was just on the surface. No one knew what the two were thinking, and Jin Ling was guessing about Matsumoto Tsubota as he walked. When Jin Ling walked out of the office building, he saw Xia Muminan and Yamamoto Takeshiro in front of him. Xia Muminan and Yamamoto Takeshiro were talking about something, and when they saw Jin Ling coming out, they immediately separated.

Jin Ling walked to Xia Muminnan, Yamamoto Takeshiro had already left. Jin Ling was very curious about the connection between Xia Muminnan and Yamamoto Takeshiro. Xia Muminnan opened the car door for Jin Ling very gentlemanly. After getting in the car, Jin Ling unconsciously asked: "What did Xia Mu-kun say to Yamamoto-kun just now?" Xia Muminnan heard Jin Ling's question and said gently: "Yamamoto-kun just asked if we are used to our married life. He asked me to take good care of you and said he was leaving Shanghai. What's going on?" Jin Ling listened and looked at Xia Muminnan.

Xia Muminnan looked at Jin Ling in confusion and said, "What's wrong?" Jin Ling just smiled gently and said, "Nothing, not a big deal. It seems that because of the explosion when we got married, there may be too many casualties. The headquarters punished Yamamoto and transferred him from Shanghai back to the headquarters. Now the person in charge in Shanghai is Matsumoto Tsubota." Xia Muminnan subconsciously stepped on the brakes when he heard the words Matsumoto Tsubota. Jin Ling didn't expect Xia Muminnan to step on the brakes, and he was not prepared and almost hit the front of the car. Xia Muminnan was startled when he saw it, and immediately protected it with his hands.

Fortunately, Xia Muminnan was quick to protect Jin Ling and he didn't hit her. Jin Ling looked at Xia Muminnan, who protected Jin Ling's head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not hurt." Jin Ling shook his head and looked at each other. The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous. Suddenly, the sound of "beep beep" interrupted their gaze and they separated immediately. Xia Muminnan drove the car immediately.

The two returned home quietly, neither of them dared to look at each other. Jin Ling suddenly felt a little awkward, and Xia Muminnan also felt a little unnatural. Jin Ling looked at the time and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, so he said, "Well, I'll go prepare lunch first." Xia Muminnan immediately said, "Okay, I'll go upstairs and read a book first." The two went about their own work.

When Jin Ling finished lunch and sat at the dining table, the two of them ate without talking, as if to dispel the awkwardness just now. Jin Ling thought about the fact that Matsumoto Tsubota had invited her to dinner today, so she said to Xia Muminnan: "Um, Xia Mu-kun?" When Xia Muminnan heard Jin Ling calling him, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said: "Well, what's the matter?" Jin Ling looked at Xia Muminnan's affectionate eyes and was a little uncomfortable and said: "Well, today, Matsumoto-kun was going to invite me to lunch, but I refused. I thought why don't we invite him to our house for dinner together?" Xia Muminnan looked at Jin Ling who was questioning her cautiously, and was very happy in her heart. Although she didn't know why she was happy, she nodded and agreed and said: "Okay, how about next Saturday? I happen to be off that day and can help you prepare." Jin Ling listened with his eyes shining.

However, Jin Ling was doubtful in his heart, because he did not expect Xia Muminnan to agree so quickly. But then he thought about it and seemed to understand something.
