The "Blade Project" directed by Mr. Gong personally began.
In Mr. Gong's words, they will be like a sharp blade working together to tear the throats of the Japanese in one fell swoop!
Everyone will do their job.
Mr. Gong personally served as the bait.
Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming are responsible for surveillance.
Meng Shao is responsible for protecting Mr. Gong's safety in principle.
The advantage of this is that once it succeeds, everyone gets credit. If anything happens to Mr. Gong, no one of the three military leaders in Shanghai will be able to escape responsibility!
Mr. Gong's hard work was seen by everyone.
No one can have any more gossip.
Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan came to Jing'an Temple.
This is the busiest place in the public settlement.
A large number of time-honored brands are all gathered here.
Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette and glanced at the opposite side.
All members of each team are present.
If anything happens, Meng Shaoyuan is sure to protect Mr. Gong as soon as possible.
Although Mr. Gong is not afraid of danger, if anything happens to him in Shanghai, who can bear this responsibility?
"Xiang Desheng" is also a somewhat famous breakfast shop.
Get a bowl of very thick porridge here, paired with two pieces of the famous mung bean cake, and you can have a delicious breakfast.
Add pickles as you like, no charge.
The biggest advantage of eating here is four words:
Affordable.
It tastes pretty good.
"Mr. Gong."
Seeing Mr. Gong appear from a distance, Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly greeted him.
"Sorry, I'm late." Mr. Gong looked at his watch and apologized: "I'm still not familiar with the roads in Shanghai."
"it's okay no problem."
Not to mention being only a few minutes late, Meng Shaoyuan would have to wait here for several hours at night: "Mr. Gong, let's go have something to eat together."
As soon as I entered "Xiang Desheng", I ordered two bowls of porridge and four pieces of mung bean cake.
Meng Shaoyuan has been vigilantly monitoring the surroundings.
"Everyone has been arranged around you." Mr. Gong looked as if nothing had happened. He first picked up the mung bean cake and took a bite, then took a sip of porridge and a bite of pickles. He looked like he didn't know how to enjoy it.
"Yes, everything has been arranged." Meng Shaoyuan whispered: "District Chief Zhou and Secretary Cheng's people are also nearby to monitor."
Mr. Gong smiled slightly: "The entire Shanghai Public Settlement is under your control. The biggest mistake Tahara Kota made was that he still regarded this place as Hong Kong or Macau, thinking that he could create miracles by himself."
"Okay, Mr. Gong, eat slowly while I go to the side."
Meng Shaoyuan picked up his porridge and mung bean cake and sat on a table next to him...
…
"This Mr. Gong, I'm very curious about him."
Early in the morning, Liao Yuting was interrogated again. Hahara Guangyi looked a little tired and returned to his office with Tian Qi: "He is the secret envoy sent by Chongqing to Shanghai. Who passed on this news?"
"If you don't know, how can I know?" Tian Qi replied lightly.
"I'm just curious." Ever since he had a drink with Tian Qi that night and revealed his true feelings, now in front of Tian Qi, Han Yuanguang is very relaxed:
"Among the information we have received, only Mr. Gong arrived in Shanghai, and there is no other specific information. What does this mean?"
Tian Qi thought for a moment: "Maybe our intelligence personnel can only get this information. Or..."
"problem occurs?"
Hikaru Hahara continued talking.
This is also the only explanation.
Mr. Gong.
Habara Koichi recited the name in his mind.
"It seems that we should shift the focus." Tian Qi immediately put forward his own suggestion: "We should not continue to expend energy on Liao Yuting for a long time. If Mr. Gong can be captured in Shanghai, it will be no less meaningful than capturing Liao Yuting. "
Habara Koichi nodded slightly: "The question now is whether Miyomichi Hiroshi has any information about Mr. Gong."
"This is not within the scope of our consideration." Tian Qi said without hesitation: "Mr. Hahara, please allow me to say this. Now you and Miyomichi Hiroshi are two competitors. Who can make the biggest move?" With your contribution, whoever can take the initiative in the future will be able to take the initiative in the future. At least what I can be sure of is that Hiroshi Miyomichi will never let you go."
Hahara Koichi was silent for a while, then suddenly let out a deep sigh: "I really don't want to get involved in such a competition."
What he said sincerely, no one hates such competition more than him...
…
The whole morning was carried out according to the established plan.
After coming out of "Xiang Desheng", Mr. Gong walked around Jing'an Temple alone as if nothing had happened. When he encountered a store he was interested in, he would go in, look at the goods inside, and ask about the price.
He didn't look around at all.
He acted exactly like a tourist from out of town.
Meng Shaoyuan also admired this. A veteran agent would never look around to see if anyone was following him. Many things on the street were actually props he could use.
The agents responsible for protecting Mr. Gong are all carefully selected.
Every time they walk a section of the road, they will quickly replace a group of people to avoid being exposed after being followed for a long time.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at the nearby building again, where people under the personal command of Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were monitoring.
This time, is it the first time that the three giants of the Shanghai Navy have joined forces in a real sense?
…
"Mr. Gong passed by and found no suspicious persons."
Zhou Weilong took the telescope and looked at it: "Move location."
"Yes, District Chief Zhou."
Zhou Weilong knew the importance of this mission all too well. It was so important that he could temporarily put aside other tasks in his hands.
The one he protects is the inspector.
He actually doesn't care what Mr. Gong will do in Shanghai. What he knows is that as long as he can protect Mr. Gong's safety in Shanghai, he will have done a great job.
As for what problems Mr. Gong really found in Shanghai?
Zhou Weilong also didn't care.
They were doing special work, and in special work in a special environment, there would always be a problem. Zhou Weilong was sure that as long as it wasn't too much, Dai Li would not pursue it.
After all, Dai Li still has to use them...
…
"I think the first thing we need to do is to mobilize our resources in Shanghai and start secretly searching for Mr. Gong's whereabouts."
Tian Qi thought about it for a long time and expressed his thoughts: "It's simple. We know nothing about Mr. Gong, but the military commander must know. What we have to do is to keep an eye on what the military commander is doing."
"Mr. Tian, you are very smart."
A smile appeared on the corner of Hahara Koichi's mouth: "You know when to make the right choice!"
…
Mr. Gong has been shopping for almost a whole morning.
Nothing was found.
At noon, he would go to "Yuan Shengshi" for lunch. The Sichuan boiled fish there was particularly unique.
Xu Zhu is responsible for protecting Mr. Gong's safety.
The eight agents spread out and walked forward slowly as if nothing had happened.
Meng Shaoyuan and Gan Ning had arrived at the "Original Age" in advance.
They also took eight people with them.
Every two people choose a table, and it looks like they are sitting very casually, but in fact, they protect the empty table to the maximum extent.
After a while, there was where Mr. Gong was sitting.
"Boss Meng, it's been a whole morning and the person we're looking for hasn't shown up yet," Gan Ning said in a low voice.
"It will appear, I'm sure it will appear." Meng Shaoyuan was not too anxious: "Maybe the target started tracking it early, but we haven't locked it yet. Do you know why I have to use so many people?"
He smiled: "Everyone, keep an eye on the people you have seen today, and try to remember their faces as much as possible. If you see this person again at noon, then maybe he is the target we are looking for."
He had a photo of Kota Tahara but didn't show it to the agents.
One is due to the need for confidentiality, and the other is that Meng Shaoyuan believes that even if Tahara Yukitian appears, he must be wearing makeup. Those agents will have a hard time distinguishing people they are not familiar with once they put on makeup.
Mr. Gong came in.
He just pretended that he didn't see anyone, sat down at one of the tables, and ordered the most famous boiled fish and rice of "Yuan Shengshi".
He eats very slowly and carefully.
It took about forty-five minutes to finish the meal. I paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant calmly.
Meng Shaoyuan got up after a while and walked out with Gan Ning.
"Boss Meng."
Xu Zhu came over, looked around, and lowered his voice and said:
"I've discovered it. Xiao Gu from the third team saw a beggar at 'Xiang De Sheng' this morning. I just saw the beggar again outside 'Yuan Sheng Shi'."
"Sure?"
"I'm sure, the third team is responsible for keeping an eye on beggars and hawkers. Xiao Gu's specific task is to keep an eye on beggars."
"Okay, that might be this person. Notify District Chief Zhou and Secretary Cheng immediately."
…
"Director Meng's information is focused on a beggar holding a flower bowl. He is not tall and his clothes are not particularly sloppy."
"Telescope, look carefully for me!"
Cheng Yiming immediately gave the order.
…
"Boss Meng, that beggar."
Xu Zhu pointed forward: "Do you want to arrest him immediately?"
"No need." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "It's not a good place to take action. Once he escapes, it will be troublesome. And we can't be sure whether this person is our target."
The beggar in front kept his head down, and occasionally raised his head. His face was covered with black ash, and was stained with straw and dirty things.
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't take a closer look.
If this is just Tahara Kota's subordinate, even if he is caught, Tahara Kota will be alerted, and it will be troublesome to arrest him at that time.
Stare at him.
Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry. This was not a suitable place for him to do anything on his own, and it was also not a suitable place for Kota Tahara to do anything. His purpose was just to follow along and find Mr. Gong's final destination.
That's where the final battle will take place.
It is not a particularly complicated task, especially after Mr. Gong’s careful arrangements!
