Huizi, who was originally lying on Zhou Zhengqing's legs playing with a conch, saw the wine glass put down by Ishihara Kanji. Her eyes sparkled, and while Zhou Zhengqing and Ishihara Kanji were talking, she suddenly stretched out her little hand, pressed the edge of the coffee table, and leaned over.

"Huizi!"

As soon as Huizi moved, Zhou Zhengqing reacted and subconsciously tried to scoop her up with his hands, but Huizi slid down into the gap between the sofa and the coffee table like a loach.

At the same time, he knocked over the wine glass on the coffee table, and the wine was about to pour on Huizi's head.

At this time, Shen Xilin, who was sitting on the side, suddenly pounced down, caught Huizi with both hands, and picked Huizi up and held her in his arms.

Things happened very quickly, and by the time they reacted, Huizi was already firmly held in Shen Xilin's arms.

Huizi was obviously frightened as well, her little mouth pouted as she was about to cry, but when she looked up and saw the face of Shen Xilin who was holding her, she blinked her big eyes twice and actually held back her tears.

However, after taking a look, Huizi turned her head and looked around. When she saw Zhou Zhengqing, she quickly stretched out her little hand.

Zhou Zhengqing quickly reached out and hugged Huizi, but at the same time Zhou Zhengqing also found that Huizi was holding his collar aggrievedly and refused to let go, while secretly glancing at Shen Xilin from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhengqing looked at Shen Xilin thoughtfully.

Children's behavior is not fake, and Huizi's attitude towards Shen Xilin is obviously different from that of others.

He suddenly had a bold guess in his mind!

Huizi may have met Shen Xilin!

And it also left some memories, otherwise there would not be such a strange reaction!

This is interesting...

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, otherwise my sister would have fallen to the ground." Zhou Zhengqing bowed slightly and said to Shen Xilin.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I like children too. I saw Miss Huizi was in danger and I was close to her, so I reached out to help." Shen Xilin quickly waved his hand and smiled.

Here, Horiuchi Kanjou complained to Ishihara Kanji: "Why didn't you pay attention and put the wine glass on the coffee table? Don't you know there are children here?"

Ishihara Kanji quickly stood up, bowed to Zhou Zhengqing and said, "I'm sorry, Master Yingqi, I..."

"Hey, no need to apologize. It was my fault for not keeping an eye on my sister. Sit down. It was just a small accident." Zhou Zhengqing waved his hand and said.

At this time, Maochuan Xiuhe, who was standing aside, had shining eyes. He secretly gave Shen Xilin a thumbs up, blinked, and had a smile on his face.

This scene happened to be seen by Takeda Hiroichi who had just picked up his wine glass from the coffee table. He had also put the wine glass on the coffee table just now, so how could he dare to keep it there?

Seeing Shigekawa Hidekazu making gestures to Shen Xilin, Takeda Koichi frowned.

"Colonel Takeda, there's no need to be so careful. Just put the wine glass on the coffee table." Zhou Zhengqing said with a smile when he saw Takeda Hirokazu taking the wine glass away.

Although Zhou Zhengqing said so, Takeda Hirokazu did not really put down the wine glass. Instead, he waved to Shigekawa Hidekazu and handed the wine glass to him. Then he looked at Zhou Zhengqing and asked, "General, I just saw Shigekawa Hidekazu seemed to be scolded by you. I wonder why?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just told him about Zhang Jinhui. There were so many Chinese agents, but not a single one was left alive. This is totally wrong." Zhou Zhengqing shook his head and sighed.

After hearing this, Takeda Hiroichi nodded repeatedly, raised his hand and looked at Shigekawa Hidekazu who was standing aside and dared not speak, and said: "Did you hear what General Takasaki said? There is something wrong with the attitude of your Shigekawa Mansion. You should reflect on yourselves after you go back!"

"Hi! I will investigate as soon as I get back."

"Investigation?" Takeda Hirokazu asked doubtfully.

"Just now, General Takazaki said that Zhang Jinhui is suspected of murder to silence the witness!" Shigekawa Hidekazu quickly explained.

"Oh, is that so?" Takeda Hirokazu looked surprised, and quickly turned to look at Zhou Zhengqing and said, "General Yingqi, I think Zhang Jinhui was just greedy for merit, and he didn't communicate well with the military police of the garrison, so he killed everyone."

"Colonel Takeda may be right, but no matter what the matter is, evidence is necessary. If you only rely on subjective judgment, it is very easy to make mistakes! Evidence! Do you understand?" Zhou Zhengqing said seriously.

"Hey! The general's instructions are right." Takeda Hiroichi quickly stood up and bowed in reply.

"Colonel Takeda, please sit down. This is not an office. You don't need to be so serious." Zhou Zhengqing raised his hand and waved it again, and then said, "This is because Zhang Jinhui is a Chinese who has surrendered to us. He needs to be treated differently! Otherwise, his fate will be the same as that of the garrison military police."

"Oh, the general also thinks so highly of the Chinese?" Takeda Hirokazu asked, sitting up straight.

"What's the matter? What does Colonel Takeda think?" Zhou Zhengqing asked indifferently.

"I can't say I have an opinion, but I think that the Chinese people who come to us should be given some importance. Only Chinese people understand Chinese people best, and the empire needs such people to do things." Takeda Hirokazu explained.

Zhou Zhengqing nodded and said, "Colonel Takeda's idea is correct, and I agree with it. But there is one thing, we can never trust the Chinese who come to us. Once we find any problems, we must eliminate them!"

At this point, Zhou Zhengqing suddenly seemed to react, looked at Shen Xilin awkwardly and said: "Shen Sang, I'm not talking about you, you are our true friend, and there is absolute trust between friends!"

Shen Xilin smiled and said, "Thank you, General, for your appreciation of me. Actually, ever since I decided to work for the Empire of Japan, I have been prepared to be investigated at any time.

I am Chinese. In China, there is an old saying that those who are not of my race must have different hearts. I can understand this.”

"Oh, Shen Sang, do you really think so? Then I must say something to you, you are a sincere person who dares to tell the truth, and I admire that very much." Takeda Hirokazu nodded at Shen Xilin.

“Colonel Takeda, you are too kind. In addition to being the head of the intelligence department of the Shigekawa Mansion, I am also the manager of the Donghua Foreign Company, so I can be considered a businessman.

Businessmen look at things differently from others. In my opinion, I put in my energy and time working for Maochuan Mansion, and Maochuan Mansion pays me, so it is a cooperative relationship.

In the business world, cooperation between two parties is often based on the pursuit of common interests.

It just so happened that Shen liked money and status, and was also dissatisfied with the economic plunder of China by Western countries.

The Greater Japanese Empire can not only provide me with money and status personally, but also help China rise and achieve Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity, so I will naturally lean towards the side of the empire.

As for trust, I think that as long as the distribution of benefits is fair and reasonable during cooperation, trust between the two parties will not be a problem, Colonel Takeda, don’t you think so? "Shen Xilin said.
