Chapter 7: Girlfriend

I understand, please inform me promptly of any updates

Ichiro Asano also had a file folder on his desk, which contained relevant information regarding the investigation into Lu Xiyan's background and interpersonal relationships

The New Year is approaching, and you are unable to contact your people. The Japanese are relentlessly pursuing you. You can hide here for a moment, but not for a lifetime. Meimei, if you trust Brother Anzi, follow my arrangements from now on. I guarantee that the Japanese will not catch you. Once the situation calms down, I will send you away from Shanghai. How does that sound

The issue is that every year I go on blind dates, yet I have not found a suitable match.

Well then, you can follow me to learn daily care first, as the clinic is also in need of a professional nurse

"Intelligence theft should not be investigated by intelligence agencies; why hand it over to a police officer?"

... ...

Not acceptable

The door opened, and the bathroom door was slightly ajar, with the sound of water coming from inside.

"My sister has long been betrothed to you. If you do not marry her, who will?" Meng Hao retorted

Is Ichiro Asano a member of the Tokyo Police Department

What confidential information did your sister steal from the Japanese Navy Club that has made the Japanese so anxious and caused such a commotion

It should be like this

It is already the Republic of China, and free love has emerged

"I almost forgot, today is the Little New Year's Eve. How about we have a drink?" Lu Xiyan exclaimed, slapping his forehead, and went to the study to fetch a bottle of red wine and two glasses.

"How does Uncle Xiangsheng say?"

Anzi, it's not that I don't want to go back, I truly don't dare to. Do you know? I came back this time with a mission. If it weren't for running into you, I would have...

Are you able to give injections

Cruel and dangerous, is it not too cruel to make a girl engage in such work

If outsiders were to see this, it would be seen as frivolous and dissolute, not befitting a good woman

Good for you...

Sister, I will try to persuade Dad again in the next few days. He actually still cares about you... Meng Hao, fearing that Meng Fanxing would be upset, quickly offered some comfort.

Uncle Xiangsheng is good in every way, but he is too rigid in his ways and stubbornly clings to his set of rules, refusing to accept new ideas and new things

"Missing the handover time will lead them to believe that there is an issue on my end. They will only contact me again after confirming my safety. This is the rule in our line of work." Meng Fanxing's mood was somewhat low

She has somewhat underestimated her opponent; the Japanese are even more formidable than she had imagined. That Asano Ichirō was able to locate her solely based on the half shoe print she left at the scene.

Anzi Ge, I am willing

Well, from now on, Meimei, why don't you be my girlfriend

Lu Xiyan, male, 27 years old, originally from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, father Lu Hao, an outstanding student from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Paris, studied under the renowned thoracic surgery professor, Professor Daniel

"Uncle Xiangsheng over there, you need not worry. This old man is like this; the more he scolds fiercely, the more it shows he cares. Meimei, I think you should still go back" Lu Xiyan advised.

So what do you know

Last night, I tried to bring up my sister, and the old man immediately erupted in a torrent of curses, nearly leaving me breathless with fear, so I didn't dare to mention it again. Meng Hao sighed in despair

Meimei, do not misunderstand me; I am not taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable position. I am suggesting that we pretend, to create an appearance for outsiders. If you do not agree, we can also act as cousins, but it will be somewhat troublesome.

Come, let us raise a glass to our reunion

Thank you, Brother Anzi

The meal is ready, come over to eat

Lu Xiyan somewhat understood Meng Fanxing; her reluctance to return was not only due to the concern of implicating her family but also likely related to Uncle Xiangsheng's temperament.

It is not that others look down on Meng Hao, but rather that Meng Hao looks down on others. Four years have passed, and while several children of the same age are running around, he is still alone

Xiao Hao, I know that although Father is a bit fierce usually, he does it for our own good. It is I who have hurt his feelings.

Please come in! Ichiro Asano quickly gathered the documents, placed them into a file bag, and opened the drawer to stuff them inside

If my sister doesn't get married, it will be your fault!" Meng Hao snorted.

"Haozi, Anzi is calling me to ask how to clean and disinfect the wound, you misunderstood," Meng Fanxing said, her face turning red as she hurried to explain

Meimei, have you not yet been in contact with the higher-ups?

Meng Hao was anxious; his sister had just returned. How could he make her leave once again? If she left this time, it was uncertain how many years it would be before she returned. No matter what, he was determined to keep Meng Fanxing with him.

Good

At the age of 22, the young man is still single.

If it were not for my own early vigilance, I fear I would have long been trapped in a predicament by now

Unclear

Father said that before a man and a woman are married, they are not allowed to have any physical intimacy; otherwise, they will not be able to get married in the future!" Meng Hao chuckled.

There is no problem with your sister living here; the issue is that if the neighbors see her, they might start gossiping. My reputation is of little concern, but if your sister's reputation is tarnished and she cannot get married in the future, you cannot blame me

"No wonder you are already 22 and still don't have a girlfriend..." Lu Xiyan scoffed.

Dong Dong ... ...

Intelligence work, or what is referred to as covert operations, is a rather unfamiliar field for Lu Xiyan. However, through conversations with Meng Fanxing, he has come to understand some aspects of it.

"Anzi, sister, what are you two doing?" Meng Hao pushed the door open and asked with a flushed face.

Lu Xiyan took the envelope and glanced at him sideways: "What aspect do you hope she excels in?"

"Anzi Ge, we..." Meng Fanxing's cheeks instantly flushed with heat

Studied ... ...

Can speak a little ... ...

Meng Fanxing's cheeks were flushed

The sound of rustling...

I am not aware of this; the Japanese side has not revealed a hint of information.

... ...

"Anzi, what exactly does my sister belong to?"

Hello, you rat, having studied in a foreign school since childhood, how come your mind is still so feudal? Even if something happened between me and your sister, it was mutual consent, what does it have to do with you?

Although Lu Xiyan had no contact with anyone from the Central Organization or the Military Commission, the impression that Meng Fanxing gave him should not belong to either of these two institutions

Is it that no one wants you anymore?

Meng Fanxing is taking a shower inside

If one were to accidentally cause a mishap, it would lead to a lifetime of regret

In other words, the Japanese wish to keep the stolen information a secret and do not want the outside world to know

"Enough, you two stop arguing. Anyway, I won't be staying long, I might leave in a few days!" Meng Fanxing snorted coldly

Haozi, can you please have a little conscience? I am helping you and your sister, so why am I being blamed?

... ...

This Japanese individual serves in the police department of the International Settlement, having been specially appointed from the Tokyo Police Department as a forensic expert, and is said to have gained some renown for solving numerous major cases

Alright, why not stay with me for now? After all, Uncle Xiangsheng hardly goes out in the winter, and as long as we don't run into each other, he won't notice.

Anzi, do you have a solution

The Japanese only acknowledge this as a theft case, so on the surface, handing it over to a police officer is merely a case of burying one's head in the sand, Meng Hao said disdainfully

"Is it necessary to provide hands-on guidance for wound cleaning and disinfection, and to be this close?"

What about disinfection and wound cleaning

She doesn't speak, and I cannot press further. Your sister has always had her own opinions; don't you know her well enough?

The gang from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Military Bureau are no different from the Japanese, however, they at least fought against the Japanese, daring to risk their lives, which I still admire about them. My sister wouldn't be one of them, would she?" Meng Hao asked with his mouth agape.

Sister, have you and Brother Anzi already gotten together? Meng Hao does not oppose Meng Fanxing being with Lu Xiyan, but it must be based on genuine feelings and restrained by propriety

Meng Hao's expression suddenly turned anxious; in this matter, Lu Xiyan has indeed wronged Uncle Xiangsheng. Since the age of eighteen, he has been arranging marriage proposals for Meng Hao.

There are indeed solutions, but you must listen to me; otherwise, you won't be able to hide here for long

Lu Xiyan busied himself with cooking for nearly half an hour, preparing four or five dishes, when the sound of water from the bathroom finally subsided. Meng Fanxing emerged from within, wrapped in a pristine white bathrobe.

"What are you doing, Haozi? Don't you know to knock before coming in? Don't you understand basic manners?" Lu Xiyan was teaching Meng Fanxing step by step when he turned around and scolded.

"Commander, Miss Yunzi from the Special High Command has arrived!"

This is the information about Ichiro Asano, which I obtained with considerable effort through my father's past connections. Meng Hao quietly took out a leather envelope from his pocket and handed it to Lu Xiyan

Anyone who encounters such a stern and irritable father would certainly feel intimidated
