Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 723 Li Xianshu's Secret

Chen Yang stopped and asked, "Aunt, is there anything else?"

Li Xianshu seemed to find it difficult to speak. After a while, she slowly said, "How are you going to deal with Yamamoto Yujiro's matter?"

Chen Yang said sternly: "This person betrayed the organization and poisoned the elite of the Black Dragon Society. I definitely can't let it go so easily."

"If we follow the rules of the Shanghai Green Gang, we will be disloyal and will not be tolerated by heaven and earth."

"The lightest punishment would be expulsion from the gang, three cuts and six holes."

"If Auntie thinks this punishment is too light, I can also find a way to keep him in China and make sure Yamamoto Yoshi has nothing to say."

Li Xianshu frowned and said softly: "I mean, can you let Yamamoto Yujiro go?"

Huh? Chen Yang was stunned. Li Xianshu's reaction seemed wrong.

Given her personality, she would be capable of doing anything cruel, not to mention that more than twenty lives were involved.

Just because he is a member of the Yamamoto family, should we let him go?

Considering Li Xianshu's extreme reaction when Yamamoto Yoshisaburo died, Chen Yang obviously felt that there must be something wrong.

"Aunt, what are you afraid of? Are you worried that something bad will happen to Yamamoto Yujiro in China, and that Yamamoto Yoshi will harm the president?"

Li Xianshu shook her head and sighed, "Sit down first, I'll tell you slowly."

Chen Yang was slightly stunned, as if there was really a story behind this?

After a long silence, Li Xianshu slowly said, "Did Shizuka tell you about me?"

Why did it suddenly get involved with Fujiwara Shizuka again?

"She did say something, but I only heard a little bit, and she didn't seem to understand it very well."

"Maybe today, I should tell you everything that happened back then."

"You only know that your mother's nickname is Lanlan. Do you know what her real name is?"

"I'll tell you, her name is Li Minglan."

"This was given by the great-grandfather of the Li family, Chengxiang Gong, who meant virtuous and kind, and had a kind heart and a refined character. This is the origin of my name and your mother's name..."

Li Xianshu paused, leaned back, and stared into the distance, as if she was lost in memories.

"Chen Yang, do you know what kind of person your grandfather Li Gongshiyi is?"

This? I've never seen it before, how would I know? Chen Yang shook his head.

"Our Li family's ancestral home is in Shaoxing, and for more than a dozen generations, we have all worked as advisors for others."

"Originally, our Li family's ancestors were well-off, and their food, clothing and daily expenses were considered a wealthy family in Shaoxing and other places."

"Unfortunately, the Qing government was filthy. First, the Taiping evildoers brought disaster to the country, and then the foreigners bullied it for more than ten years. At that time, your great-grandfather was still alive. Because the world was in chaos, he was afraid that the old and young in his family would be affected, so he had no choice but to leave his hometown and live in seclusion in Hangzhou."

"In the following decades, although we were no longer wealthy, we still had some wealth."

"Your great-grandfather, Li Gong Chengxiang, saw through the Manchus' misleading behavior towards the country, so he sent your grandfather to study abroad, hoping that, as Wei Gong said, he could learn from the foreigners and defeat them, so he named him Li Shiyi."

"Your grandfather studied in Japan for nine years. After returning to China, he wanted to make a big splash and serve his country. Unexpectedly, the Boxer Rebellion happened."

"The people in power do not believe in the foreigners' powerful ships and cannons, but instead believe in a group of charlatans who are invulnerable to swords and guns and can save the people."

"In 1900, when I was eleven years old and your mother, Li Minglan, was only three years old, your grandfather wrote to the imperial court, angrily denouncing the Boxers for deceiving the gods and ghosts and fooling the people. In return, he was persecuted by the Boxers and had to flee with his family."

"We went through so much hardship along the way and finally managed to escape back to the south from the north. But just as we were about to board the ship to Japan, our family was separated by rioters."

"After that, my father and I boarded a cargo ship to Japan, but I never saw my mother and my little sister Minglan again."

"Father had already developed lung disease when we arrived in Japan."

"In order to support me, he had to find work at the docks."

"Fortunately, he was eloquent and knowledgeable, and was soon appreciated by the foreman at the time, and then became a staff member of the Yamada family."

"It was at that time that I followed the eldest daughter of the Yamada family, Mitsuko Yamada, into the girls' high school."

"Sister Mitsuko is four years older than me, but her learning ability is far inferior to mine. It only took me three years to get my diploma, and I was noticed by my teacher, Miyamoto Koichiro, who recommended me to study at the Imperial University."

"I was not even fifteen years old at the time, the youngest student in the entire Imperial University."

"It was also in that year that Sister Mitsuko married Yoshi Yamamoto."

"And it was through Sister Guangzi's introduction that I met Yamamoto Kazuo, and we got married and had children."

"I witnessed the births of Yamamoto Yoshi's eldest daughter Mieko, and his sons Yujiro and Kichi Saburo."

Chen Yang suddenly asked, "Aunt, didn't you look for my mother later?"

Li Xianshu wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Of course I have looked for her. I have been looking for her for thirty-five years since I first followed my teacher to China."

"Until I saw you, your appearance is very similar to Ryosuke, but that's not the point. The point is that you perfectly inherited the Li family's language talent."

"Other things can be faked, but your language talent is the best proof of your ability."

"So, you hate China? Do you think it was the turmoil in China that caused the separation of the family?" Chen Yang seemed to understand something...

Li Xianshu frowned and said, "It's not a matter of hatred. Everything I have was given by the Empire. I just do what I think is right."

"The right thing?" Chen Yang murmured, "Aunt, now I understand why you insist that I partner with Yamamoto Yoshisaburo."

"In fact, you should also know that Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's personality makes it a disaster for the Black Dragon Society if he becomes the president."

"He is a stubborn, arrogant person who acts impulsively without considering the consequences. He is a complete pathological gambler."

"To be honest, you should have seen it clearly. Although Yamamoto Masahira is a collateral branch, he is much calmer than Yamamoto Kichisaburo."

Li Xianshu sighed and did not refute: "Yamamoto Yoshisaburo is in the past, no one will pursue it. Now it is Yamamoto Yujiro's problem."

"Haha, let Yamamoto Yujiro go, do you think this is the right thing to do?" Chen Yang said calmly, "His brain is not as good as Shimazu Yoshio, and he has always been treated as a fool by him."

"Don't even mention Shimazu Yoshio. I don't think he's even half as good as Yamamoto Yoshisaburo. At least Yamamoto Yoshisaburo wouldn't use his own people's lives as bargaining chips."

"Aunt, if you really want me to let him go, I will only give him one chance. Within three days, I will make him leave China, whether he swims or takes a boat."

"If he is still in China after three days, I guarantee that he will never leave..."

"Sorry, goodbye..."
