When Yuan Ye and the other two arrived at No. 76 Jessfield Road, there were already quite a few cars parked on the road outside the door. The gate was decorated with lights and looked quite lively.

There were several armed guards from No. 76 standing guard at the door. The three people arrived at the door, handed in their invitations, registered, and after checking that they had no weapons, the three people were taken in.

This is Yuan Ye’s first time to come to No. 76. It is quite big inside. There are several buildings in the yard, including office buildings, dormitory buildings, canteen, etc.

Yuan Ye and his group were brought into a small auditorium where tonight's welcome dinner would be held. There were also several armed guards standing guard at the door.

After entering, there was a table at the door where the gift money was registered. Chai Ruhai paid the gift money and registered.

There were already quite a few people in the auditorium, mostly from all walks of life, and quite a few Japanese, some in military uniforms, probably from the Military Police Headquarters. Yuan Ye saw Takemiya Yoshio, Nanyun Masako, and Hirota Naoki, but he didn't recognize the others.

Two middle-aged men were talking to Takemiya Yoshio and the others. One of them saw Yuan Ye and the other two come in. This man obviously knew Chai Ruhai, so he immediately came up to them, greeted them warmly, and asked:

"Chief Chai, isn't Mayor Fu here?"

Chai Ruhai explained:

"Director Li, I'm so sorry. Mayor Fu is still ill and asked me to come here to congratulate him on his behalf.

He said that when he gets better, he will come to visit the two directors in person."

Yuan Ye thought, so this person is Li Qunshi. He is wearing a suit and looks quite energetic. He has an ordinary appearance and a smile on his face. From his appearance, you can't tell that he is a vicious character at all.

Li Qunshi also knew the reason why Fu Quan'an didn't come, and said with a smile:

"Chief Chai, it's the same even if you come. I'll take you to meet Director Ding Mocun."

He glanced at Yuan Ye and He Li beside Chai Ruhai. He didn't know them. The man looked quite extraordinary and the woman was very pretty. He didn't know who they were, so he asked again:

"Chief Chai, who are these two?"

Chai Ruhai quickly introduced:

"Yuan Shikai and He Li are also from our secretarial department."

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"Director Li, nice to meet you."

He Li looked indifferent.

When Li Qunshi heard this, he realized that they were just two ordinary clerks and didn't take it to heart.

He nodded slightly, then walked back with Chai Ruhai without inviting Yuan Ye and He Li to go with them.

Yuan Ye didn't care. He and He Li walked to a nearby wine table, picked up two glasses of wine, handed one to He Li, and said with a smile:

"Lili, I have good news for you."

He Li raised her head and asked:

"What good news?"

She already had a premonition that it was good news.

"The cursive calligraphy work I put in Yamozhai was actually sold!"

"Really? That's great news!"

He Li looked delighted.

“That’s what I said, how could such a good work not be sold?

Shi Kai, come, let's have a drink to celebrate this good news."

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.

At this time, Yuan Ye had already heard Li Qunshi introducing Ding Mocun to Chai Ruhai. He took a look and found that the thin and capable middle-aged man was Ding Mocun.

He saw Hirota Naoki walking towards him and hurriedly went to meet him, knowing that he was here to get the cursive calligraphy of "Tanga Xing". In fact, he was also about to give it to him, but he wanted to give it to him after they finished talking.

It was obvious that Naoki Hirota had seen him. Not only him, but also Yoshio Takemiya and Masako Nagumo saw him and He Li.

Both of them felt a little surprised. Why did He Li come here? Logically, He Li would not come here, and she came with Yuan Ye.

Especially Nanyun Masako, seeing He Li and Yuan Ye talking and laughing, with the unique sensitivity of a woman, she detected something unusual in He Li's eyes and expression. She felt that He Li and Yuan Ye did not seem to have a normal relationship as colleagues.

What she worried about still happened. When she talked with He Li at the municipal government before, He Li showed her affection for Yuan Ye. For this reason, she reminded He Li not to have a good impression of Chinese people. Unexpectedly, her feelings towards Yuan Ye now are more than just a good impression.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the closeness between He Li and Yuan Ye is a disguise and a strategy.

After all, He Li has a mission. She was asked to secretly investigate Yuan Ye before. I hope she hasn't forgotten it.

No matter what, I have to find some time to have a good talk with He Li and see what this eldest daughter of the top noble family thinks, otherwise I will be worried.

The last time she went to the municipal government to investigate, although she did not find anything suspicious about Yuan Ye, and she did not find any flaws after her repeated attempts on Yuan Ye, she still felt a little uneasy.

Maybe there is really nothing wrong with this person, and I am just too suspicious. Or maybe this person is hiding too deeply and is not easy to deal with. I can't even see any clues, which is too scary.

However, her previous suspicion that Yuan Ye was from Iwai Mansion was now immediately confirmed, because she saw Hirota Naoki, Iwai Yuichi's right-hand man and the second-in-command of Iwai Mansion, walk up to Yuan Ye. The two said a few words, and Yuan Ye handed him something like a scroll. Then Hirota Naoki brought Yuan Ye and He Li over.
