Traffic jam.
There was a small car parked in the middle of the road ahead, not moving despite the pointing fingers of the people around it.
Bah!
Haozi honked the horn twice.
The rear door of the car in front opened, and a huge head popped out. The owner of the head was already spitting curse words. When he saw the license plate of the car that was honking, a smile immediately broke out on his face, and he quickly got out of the car, flattering. He cupped his fists and waved his hands:
Sorry, let's go now!
Let’s go!
…
"The gunshots just now had almost no impact on this side." Li Hao said while looking at the bustling crowd on the street.
Brother Fan didn't answer him.
Haozi didn't take it seriously and added, "It's even more lively than last year."
Cheng Qianfan looked out the window.
Look at the crowds of people, the feasting, the drunkenness, the bitterness and sorrow behind the prosperity, and the three big words on the soles of the citizens walking in a hurry, with tired faces and vicissitudes of life:
Slaves who have subjugated their country!
After the fall of Shanghai's Huajie and the fall of other cities around Shanghai, wealthy people from nearby places came to the Shanghai Concession to take refuge, causing the interior of the Concession to show unusual prosperity.
This is abnormal prosperity.
The "Declaration" published a data a few days ago. It is said that the retail industry in the concession has doubled compared with before the war.
In various shops, customers are crowded, and the sounds of selling and getting goods come and go.
Among these stores, the six famous department stores in Shanghai have enjoyed unprecedented prosperity.
Take Yong'an Department Store as an example. It is said that the current average daily turnover is more than one million yuan, and each employee receives an average of fifty or sixty customers a day.
…
"Haozi, your sister-in-law and Xiaobao must ensure their safety." Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, Brother Fan." Li Hao said, "Hao Zai has mobilized a group of capable people from the escort team to secretly protect the safety of his sister-in-law and Xiaobao. In Hao Zai's words, several of them are outstanding experts. "
Cheng Qianfan nodded.
The main source of Jiujiu Trading's escort team is the widely recruited Jianghu people with outstanding abilities, as well as the extraordinary capable soldiers.
The patrols in the patrol room are Mr. Cheng's official power. However, although these subordinates all follow Cheng Qianfan's lead, after all, the real owner of these patrols is the French Concession authorities.
This escort is an armed force that belongs directly and only to Cheng Qianfan.
This time I had a grudge with Zhang Xiaolin, and it could even be said that I was at odds with each other.
Based on Zhang Xiaolin's personality, it is difficult to say whether this person will attack Mr. Cheng's family.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan had to take precautions and prepare early.
In this way, the patrol team stationed near Yandeli was in the dark, and the bodyguards selected by Hao Zai from the escort team were in the dark, providing double protection to Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao.
Cheng Qianfan believed that today's incident may make Zhang Xiaolin furious, but as long as this person is not really crazy, he will not consider committing murder against Ruolan and Xiaobao for the time being.
…
"Cheng Qianfan, you are going too far to bully this little brat!"
There was a crash.
A coral ornament next to the screen was kicked to the ground by Zhang Xiaolin.
News just arrived that his general Shao Er was shot and injured by Cheng Qianfan in the street, and then his body was "dismembered" in the street!
This incident was like someone slapping Zhang Xiaolin!
No, to be precise, he scraped his ear first and then spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into his face.
Zhang Xiaolin actually didn't care about Shao Er's life or death.
However, in this matter, whether Shao Er lives or dies is Zhang Xiaolin's face.
What he cares about is his own face, and whether Zhang Xiaolin's "one word and one word" position in the Shanghai Bund arena is stable.
Previously, after he announced that Shao Er would be the organizer of the third wife's birthday party, everyone was waiting and watching.
Let's wait and see what Cheng Qianfan will do after he made the harsh words.
There are many people with ulterior motives or ambitions in their hearts. They hope to see Cheng Qianfan and Zhang Xiaolin break up and have a bigger conflict.
The result was disappointing to them. The famous Mr. Cheng was actually scared!
Nothing happened to Shao Er!
There was not even a threat of being blocked at the door or a warning being sent.
A big living person jumping around.
Soon, the rumor that Xiao Cheng always dared not argue with Boss Zhang and bowed his head in despair became the most sensational news in the "underground world" of Shanghai.
Affected by this incident, Mr. Cheng's influence has also been weakened, and even the ships and vehicles of Mr. Cheng's Jiujiu Trading have been interrogated, and even goods have been lost.
This was unimaginable before.
Who dares to touch Mr. Cheng’s goods?
That's courting death!
…
No one expected that Cheng Qianfan's counterattack was delayed, but yet so fierce and arrogant!
How arrogant it is to execute the men Zhang Xiaolin wanted to protect in the street!
Xiao Cheng always used this arrogant and domineering behavior to tell the concession and tell Shanghai——
"He is looking for death!" A man wearing a Dulong eyepatch said conspiratorially, "Boss, since Cheng Qianfan is so ungrateful, just say a word and I will arrange for someone to kill him."
"Yu Xiaomin, can you please use your brain? That's Cheng Qianfan. Officially, he has nearly a hundred guns in his hands. Privately, he also has escorts and bodyguards. You think he is a rotten fish and shrimp from the Huangpu River. You just do it casually. Can you crush him to death?" Next to him, a man wearing a bunt patted his clothes and said.
"Pang Shui, what do you mean? If you grow up with other people's ambitions, you will destroy your own prestige!" Yu Xiaomin pointed at the man dressed as a bunt and said coldly.
"Niang Xiangniang!" Zhang Xiaolin slapped the table, "Shut up, everyone!"
The two looked at each other, snorted coldly, and both shut up and did not dare to speak anymore.
Zhang Xiaolin glanced at the two of them with sinister eyes. Now he only felt that the fire of ignorance was burning in his heart and he was extremely irritable.
These two guys are his two trusted generals, and they have always been at odds with each other.
He didn't think it was anything. He was quite satisfied with the situation. However, the quarrel between the two now annoyed him.
…
"Yu Qian, take someone to collect Shao Er's body." Zhang Xiaolin said coldly.
"Yes!" Yu Xiaomin clasped her hands in agreement and turned around to leave.
"Money is a man's courage and waist", this is what Yu Xiaomin always talks about. His surname is Yu, so he is nicknamed "Yu Qian".
"Boss." Pang Shui waited for Yu Xiaomin to leave, then took two steps forward and said respectfully.
"What do you think about this matter?" Zhang Xiaolin asked.
Pang Shui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that although Zhang Xiaolin was extremely angry, he was not directly carried away by his anger and had regained his composure.
"It's strange." Pang Shui shook his head, "In the French Concession, Cheng Qianfan is indeed a figure, but his pool is in the French Concession, and there are many bastards in Chi Qian."
"Looking at the whole of Shanghai, Cheng Qianfan's few people and connections are nothing at all. He is not enough in front of you, the boss."
As he spoke, Pang Shui rubbed his chin and said while thinking, "Especially boss, you are now working with the Japanese. Now the whole of Shanghai and most of China are ruled by the Japanese."
"Cheng Qianfan is just the deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Office of the French Concession. What kind of job is this? The French Concession is a bigger place. Looking at the whole country, Cheng Qianfan is just a county police officer (not a typo) ) director."
Pang Shui looked at Zhang Xiaolin, shook his head and said, "Who gave Cheng Qianfan the courage and confidence to touch the tiger's butt?"
"Yeah, I can't figure it out." Zhang Xiaolin frowned.
In his mind, it was not difficult to kill Cheng Qianfan. This kid was considered a figure in the French Concession, but in front of Zhang Xiaolin, he was just a - fart!
However, what Zhang Xiaolin couldn't figure out was who had Cheng Qianfan swallowed up and dared to be so arrogant?
…
"Do you know this person?" Zhang Xiaolin asked coldly.
"It doesn't look like someone who doesn't care about life and death!" Pang Shui smiled bitterly.
At this moment, some of his men hurried over.
This person whispered something in Zhang Xiaolin's ear, and then saw Boss Zhang wave his hand and ran away as if running away.
Seeing this, Pang Shui, who had just been trying to persuade Zhang Xiaolin to calm down, felt a thump in his heart and knew something was wrong.
as expected.
"Kill him!" Zhang Xiaolin roared, his eyes even turning red due to anger, "I don't care why this little red guy is so bold!"
"Kill him!" Zhang Xiaolin said with a ferocious expression, "In Shanghai, I don't dare to kill except the Japanese! I can kill everyone else if I want!"
"I understand." Pang Shui nodded.
But I was sighing in my heart:
In addition to the Japanese, there are also the French, the British, the Americans, and... - he added in his mind.
…
Kill Cheng Qianfan? !
Pang Shui frowned.
"Where is Cheng Qianfan now?" he asked one of his men.
"Allah does not know."
"Then why are you still standing here?" Pang Shui cursed.
Where is Cheng Qianfan?
Pang Shui walked in a hurry. He wanted to have a private chat with Mr. Cheng, who dared to provoke Shanghai's number one boss, to see if there was a chance for things to ease.
Cheng Qianfan is a person who has suddenly emerged in the past two years, and Pang Shui has always paid attention to this person.
According to what he knew, Cheng Qianfan was ruthless and cruel, not a brainless person, and most importantly, he was extremely afraid of death.
How could such a person commit such an act of seeking death?
He felt uneasy if he didn't understand the doubts.
"Kill Cheng Qianfan!" A voice came from the hall, "If I know that you are meeting Cheng Qianfan in private, I will kill you first!"
…
Yendri.
Cheng Qianfan entered the door of his house and saw the beautiful silhouette of a young girl.
Bai Ruolan accompanied her, and the two of them seemed to have talked about an interesting topic, and they both laughed.
"Xiao Ye is here." Cheng Qianfan nodded in greeting, "What a rare visitor."
"Why are you talking? You're so angry." Bai Ruolan scolded her husband.
"Brother Qianfan, Xiaoye was ignorant before and didn't know that you were doing it for my own good, so don't be angry with me." Tang Xiaoye said.
Looking at Tang Xiaoye who was about to bow and apologize, but was stopped by Bai Ruolan, Cheng Qianfan snorted.
Naturally, Tang Xiaoye and Bai Ruolan had known each other for a long time. When Cheng Qianfan was still in the nursing home, Fang Guohua took "Sister Shaoyao" and "Tang Xiaoye" to visit him in the nursing home. Tang Xiaoye had met Bai Ruolan in the nursing home.
"Who is that little girl?" Cheng Qianfan asked, pointing to Yang Ximei who was playing with Xiaobao.
"My Yaomei." Tang Xiaoye said. He glanced at Yang Ximei with gentle eyes and said softly, "Ximei, my mother adopted her from the orphanage."
"Auntie is kind-hearted." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, he looked at Bai Ruolan, "You two, let's talk."
Looking at Tang Xiaoye again, he continued to be weird, "It's a rare trip. I'll call Chunfeng Deyilou to deliver a table of food to save her from going back to complain."
"You are so arrogant." Bai Ruolan lightly hit her husband's arm, "Xiaoye came to see you for something."
With that said, Bai Ruolan walked towards Xiaobao and Yang Ximei, "This is the first time for Xiaoye to come to the house. No matter what, I have to cook myself. I will take the two little girls to buy groceries. You guys can go upstairs and talk."
"Just two dishes are enough." Cheng Qianfan said, "Don't bother you by calling for food delivery."
"I know." Bai Ruolan said.
…
Cheng Qianfan hung the police hat on the wall, ignored Tang Xiaoye, and went straight upstairs.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Tang Xiaoye's eyes, and she followed upstairs.
"Ruo Lan, order a braised lion's head, some people like it." Someone's words floated from the front.
A smile appeared between Tang Xiaoye's eyebrows.
…
Cheng Qianfan still ignored Tang Xiaoye.
He was minding his own business making tea.
But he took two clean teacups.
After a while.
After sniffing, Cheng Qianfan looked satisfied.
Then he took another sip of tea and said, "Good tea."
He glanced at Tang Xiaoye again and said, "Pour the tea yourself, there is no one to serve you."
"When I was little, you and my sister loved me the most." Tang Xiaoye showed a sad expression.
Cheng Qianfan clicked his tongue, shook his head slightly, picked up the teapot, and filled Tang Xiaoye's teacup with tea.
"Thank you, brother." Tang Xiaoye thanked him happily.
Cheng Qianfan took a very serious look and said, "The yellow-haired little girl back then has grown up."
Tang Xiaoye smiled and said, "You are only a few years older than me."
The brother and sister drank tea and chatted.
There are also snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, licorice plums and so on on the table, which were 'taken' from Xiaobao's room.
The atmosphere gradually became warmer, and the two brothers and sisters who had been separated before seemed to have regained the deep feeling of brother and sister they used to have.
…
"What does Bai Feiyu do?" Cheng Qianfan opened the desk drawer, took out the cigarette case, and took out a cigarette. He did not light it immediately, but turned it around in his hand.
"Just an ordinary businessman." Tang Xiaoye said.
She stood up, saw the match box on the desk, took out a match, lit it, and was about to light a cigarette for Cheng Qianfan.
puff!
Cheng Qianfan blew out the match directly.
Seeing Tang Xiaoye's expression of surprise and confusion, he smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant and feels uncomfortable smelling the cigarette smoke. I don't smoke at home now."
"Oh, it's a good thing to smoke less." Tang Xiaoye's face returned to normal.
She felt nervous just now, thinking that there was something wrong with her actions and words that had exposed flaws.
You must know that he is now facing the notorious Mr. Cheng. According to the evaluation of Cheng Qianfan by his superiors, this person is extremely cunning, insidious, and cruel——
"Comrade Tang Xiaoye, you must remember that what you are facing is not your brother Cheng Qianfan, but an extremely cunning, insidious, and cruel executioner. Be careful, be careful!"
