The weather in Shanghai in late March was warm.
Winter is over and spring is here.
Meng Shaoyuan wore the most popular light blue suit, paired with a vest and white shirt.
On her feet are British leather shoes.
Her hair was smooth with hair wax.
He took out the ivory cigarette holder and filled it with Egyptian cigarettes that had arrived just a few days ago.
"Hey, does it taste like Mr. Shao?"
Meng Shaoyuan asked Xu Zhu beside him.
The "Shao Gongzi" he was talking about was a Crescent poet, essayist, and translator who was known as the "aristocratic poet" and the "Greek handsome man, Mengchang Lord of Shanghai". He married a wife who was both the heir of Li Hongzhang. Shao Xun is beautiful!
After meeting Chen Yinge, Meng Shaoyuan had great admiration for these Chinese literary giants. He heard about Shao Xunmei's name and even paid a special visit to them.
It's a pity that people don't like spies, so they were rejected.
Meng Shaoyuan did not give up, and later learned that Shao Xunmei was planning to launch the magazine "Freedom Tan". Unfortunately, his previous lavish spending and uncontrolled spending caused big problems in his originally prosperous economy.
After knowing this, Meng Shaoyuan immediately gave him a large sum of money with a stroke of his pen, and then he allowed Shao Xunmei to meet him once.
Although it only lasted for a few minutes, it made Meng Shaoyuan fall in love.
Look at their style, look at their all-seeing manner.
From then on, he became a "Shao fan".
Especially not being someone else’s fan?
Originally, Meng Shaoyuan liked to wear dark-colored suits, but since meeting Shao Xunmei, he fell in love with light-colored suits.
Fans, I can understand.
Xu Zhu looked at him: "What's the saying? What will the oranges from the south become when they reach the north?"
"Nan Ju and Bei Zhi... um, Xu Zhu? Are you going to scold me in a different way?"
Meng Shaoyuan was a little angry: "Just wait for me. What time is it?"
"10 O'Clock."
"Almost, are you all ready?"
"Ready."
…
"Chang Gaocheng, this batch of supplies is extremely important. You must be careful."
"Don't worry, Boss Ji, I will escort you personally. Nothing will happen to you." Chang Gaocheng patted his chest and said, "If something happens, I will give you my head!"
Ji Yunqing still felt uneasy.
At the latest stage, too many things have happened in Shanghai, and even the Japanese are in a state of distress.
This donation is really important. Since Ji Yunqing discussed this matter with the Japanese, it is said that a division commander on the Japanese front line will personally bring reporters to greet it, and will publicize it to show the goodwill between China and Japan. smoothly!
Once something happens, the Japanese will be the first to spare themselves...
"I won't say much else." Ji Yunqing said worriedly: "Gao Cheng, please leave everything to me."
…
Chengdu Road, Ford Warehouse.
A Chevrolet truck was parked outside the warehouse, and several men with weapons were watching the surroundings vigilantly.
In the warehouse, there were more than a dozen men in black, each armed with a weapon, closely guarding a dozen suitcases placed in the center.
The golden ax sat there silently.
"Master Chang is here, Master Chang is here."
"Master Chang!"
"Master Chang!"
There was a constant stream of greetings.
Chang Gaocheng walked in.
"Brother Chang." Golden Ax also stood up.
"Are you okay?" Chang Gaocheng glanced at the boxes.
"It's okay. This is Boss Ji's territory. Who dares to come in and cause trouble?"
"Lao Jin, Boss Jin met me just now." Chang Gaocheng emphasized this point: "This batch of goods has a heavy responsibility. Boss Ji has repeatedly warned that nothing will happen."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Golden Ax said this, but his heart was full of jealousy.
In the past, the person Ji Yunqing would look for for this kind of thing was himself.
But now everything has changed.
I became a warehouse keeper.
Chang Gaocheng became Ji Yunqing's confidant.
Chang Gaocheng didn't notice anything unusual about the golden axe: "Lao Gao, you are responsible for driving, and I will be with you. The truck compartment is covered with canvas and no one is allowed to be there to prevent guards from stealing. There are two cars in the front and three cars in the back. Pass through Fuxili and De Jiawei Road and leave the public concession, and then there will be Japanese people who will be responsible for picking up..."
Under Ji Yunqing, Golden Ax was once the best at fighting and had the best driving skills.
So even though he has lost power now, if a car is needed for important matters, Golden Ax will still drive it.
"knew."
Golden Ax answered silently.
"Prepare."
Golden Ax checked the time: "Load the car!"
…
Chang Gaocheng was not worried about what would go wrong.
Going out from Fude Warehouse, boss Jin's men will be patrolling and responding to you every once in a while.
Once any abnormality occurs, these people will quickly come up with reinforcements.
Chang Gaocheng was driving.
He drove extremely smoothly.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was what Ji Yunqing said when he quietly summoned him last night:
"Lao Jin, I put a grenade in each box, and the fuse is connected to the box. If you open the box rashly, it will explode soon. If you carry it away, it will also detonate. I will tell you this secret. Chang After all, Gao Cheng’s group of people are new here, and the person I really trust is you.”
Pooh!
Golden Ax simply didn’t believe it.
Who do you really trust?
As soon as Chang Gaocheng and his group came, the benefits they got already exceeded those of the old people.
It’s not that you don’t trust Chang Gaocheng, you don’t trust anyone.
Let Chang Gaocheng monitor me, and then ask me to monitor Chang Gaocheng.
Boss Ji, you are very good at playing.
…
"Are you leaving?" Ji Yunqing has always been uneasy.
"Let's go." Kang Chenshu checked the time: "Boss Ji, don't worry, Jin Axe and Chang Gaocheng will personally escort us, and there will be our own brothers along the way, so there won't be any problems."
"But my eyelids are always twitching." Ji Yunqing didn't look relaxed at all: "No, no, arrange a car. They drive slowly. If we drive faster, we can catch up. I want to personally watch them leave the public concession. That’s all.”
"Hey, Boss Ji, I'll make arrangements now."
…
"Ahead is Fudli." Jin Ax said as he drove: "It was built by British designers from Xinrui and Matheson. There are 76 units in total. They are basically occupied by foreigners and businessmen with status. Patrolling There are a lot of them. I heard that the Workers’ and Peasants’ Party held some kind of congress there in the past. Later, after the police station deployed a large number of manpower, it was regarded as the safest place in Shanghai.”
"Don't be careless, Lao Jin." Chang Gaocheng didn't dare to relax for a moment: "I've seen this place on the map for this reason, so if something happens, it will take at least five or six minutes for our reinforcements to arrive."
Suddenly, a "boom" explosion sounded.
Then there was gunfire all around.
The car at the front was bombed, and the second car was knocked down instantly by the dense bullets.
"Attack, attack!" Golden Ax shouted in horror.
"Don't panic, find a way and rush out!"
Chang Gaocheng is relatively calm.
The place least likely to be attacked was still attacked.
Jin Ax turned the steering wheel fiercely and turned the truck onto the right road: "Civilian Girls' School, there is a patrol room car there!"
It should be said that these escorts are still well-trained.
As soon as the attack occurred, the truck spun around and three cars behind it rushed forward.
Then, people from the Qing Gang jumped out of the cars one after another.
Originally, according to regulations, in the event of an attack, the third car would leave immediately after the truck, while the fourth and fifth cars would stay to stop the attack.
However, the attacker's second attack punctured all the tires of the third car.
The car was lying there, blocking the road.
Those members of the Youth Gang took out their weapons one after another and started shooting aimlessly...
…
"We should have arrived at Fudri. It's pretty safe there..."
"boom!"
As soon as Ji Yunqing finished speaking, an explosion sounded in the distance.
Ji Yunqing's expression changed drastically: "Where was the explosion?"
The faint sound of gunfire came again.
"Fudri, is the direction of Fudri!"
Kang Chenshu's expression also changed.
"Quick, quick!" Ji Yunqing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Quick, my money, my money!"
…
"Director Meng, have some tea."
"Good tea, what kind of tea?"
"I don't know, just buy some tea powder on the roadside."
"roll!"
"Ever since I met Mr. Shao, my whole person has changed. I am pretending to be elegant."
Xu Zhu muttered in dissatisfaction.
…
"boom"!
There was another explosion, coming from the civilian girls' school.
When Ji Yunqing arrived, the attackers probably saw that the resistance was very tenacious, so they all retreated.
Only one of the Youth Gang members in the three cars behind was injured.
At this moment, the rest of Ji Yunqing's men also came up for reinforcements.
"Quick, go there and take a look, my money!"
Ji Yunqing stood with his crutch and kept tapping the ground.
Money!
…
The Chevy truck was parked there.
A body that had been bombed beyond recognition was lying under the carriage. There was money scattered around his head and around him.
"Who! Don't come close. If you come closer, I'll shoot!"
A voice came over.
The golden axe, the golden axe!
Ji Yunqing's heart suddenly relaxed: "The golden axe, it's me, it's me!"
"Boss Ji!"
Golden Ax came out of the front of the car. When he saw Ji Yunqing, tears suddenly flowed out: "Boss Ji, I thought I would never see you again."
"Where's the money? Where's my money?"
"It's all there, not a single box is missing. Ah, no, one box was blown up. Look how much you can recover!"
…
"Chang Gaocheng, that bastard, took a gun and forced me to park the car as soon as he got here. I lied to him and said that all the boxes in the car were empty. Chang Gaocheng didn't believe it, so he went to check and asked me to throw a box of money down. The moment I opened the box, I fell down and Chang Gaocheng was killed."
Golden Ax gasped.
"Quickly, open all the boxes. Be careful. Open a crack first and remove the fuse. Don't detonate the grenade inside!"
The boxes were opened one by one.
Japanese yen and military notes are all there.
Ji Yunqing breathed a long sigh of relief.
He glanced at Chang Gaocheng's body on the ground, spat, and then patted Jin Ax on the shoulder: "The old man is still trustworthy. Quick, change the car, Lao Jin, you are responsible for escorting him personally, and give me the money quickly. send out!"
