"Order, all the armed detachments, squadrons, and squads of the Loyalty Rescue Corps affiliated to me in Shanghai District launch all-out attacks in their respective areas! Lurking groups in Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places frequently attack, and the louder the noise, the better!"
Meng Shaoyuan ordered in a deep voice: "We don't ask for results, we just ask for uninterrupted operations. We must prevent the Shanghai Japanese Special Organization from allocating reinforcements!"
"clear!"
Wu Jingyi could only smile bitterly.
He, Meng Shaoyuan, has been issuing dozens of orders every day these past few days, and sometimes he changes them all day and night. In the morning, a certain detachment was ordered to attack a certain place, but in the afternoon the order was changed again.
If this continues, let alone the Japanese, I am afraid that my own people will be driven crazy by him.
"District Chief Meng." Wu Jingyi couldn't bear it anymore: "What plan do you want us to achieve in the end? Can you reveal a little bit about it? I can also make targeted preparations."
"Targeted? You are targeted, and the Japanese are also targeted." Meng Shaoyuan picked up the pen and paper and drew something messy on it: "Can you understand what this is?"
Wu Jingyi looked at it for a while and shook her head.
"Yes, you can't understand it, and neither can the Japanese." Meng Shaoyuan held the pen: "But one thing is that this pen is in my hand."
He suddenly drew a big circle on the paper, enclosing all the things he had just drawn, and then drew a big cross with all his strength:
"When I think the time is right, everyone is already in this circle and no one can run out!"
Wu Jingyi looked at the picture blankly, and after a while she said:
"What you drew is so ugly!"
…
"Miss." Gao Fanyi walked in: "I have inquired. It is a mess outside. There is a traitor named Geng Jun. Bombs were thrown at his door five times in one day. He was so scared that he did not dare to go out. Military Commander The people mobilized in large numbers, which made our defense manpower weak. Should we tell Meng Shaoyuan to send more men?"
"It's not necessary." Kong Lingyi said lightly: "Meng Shaoyuan was forced by me to assassinate Yanagawa Yasunjun. In fact, I also know that killing him is not that simple. Otherwise, the military commander would have taken action long ago. Although I don't know what he wants to do. , but he must have a reason. Don't disturb him, my safety will be fully responsible for you from now on."
Gao Fanyi opened his mouth but said nothing.
Although his duty is to protect the eldest lady, the environment in the public concession is so complicated. Without the cooperation of the military commander, what if something happens to the eldest lady?
"Miss, miss."
At this time, Meng Shaoyuan walked in with a few snacks in his hand: "Look, I spent a lot of effort to get the snacks from Hong Kong for you."
"Leave it there." Kong Lingyi said lukewarmly, "Tell me what you want from me."
"I have something to ask of you." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "No, you haven't had dim sum from Hong Kong for a few days. I'm just thinking about it. Your eldest lady has arrived in Shanghai. I will try my best no matter what. Landlord friendship, right?”
"Meng Shaoyuan, Meng Shaoyuan." Kong Lingyi sighed: "It would be great if you were really the kind of person who would always consider others. You are a bad person and you have taken full advantage of me these days. If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. I don’t have time to chat with you.”
"It's really nothing serious." Meng Shaoyuan said hurriedly: "I'm tired of asking, you brought a total of twelve guards this time?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Gao Fanyi immediately became nervous.
This guy seems to be short of manpower recently. Don't you want to mess with the brains of these twelve guards?
"I'm thinking, in this big Shanghai, in this colorful world, you have seen all the good things and eaten all the delicious food, but your guards have to protect you all night long, how hard it is."
Meng Shaoyuan took out a stack of money from his pocket: "As for me, I have saved a few savings, so I want to do my best to reward them for you."
Kong Lingyi became suspicious: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm really helping you reward them."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "But don't say it's the money I got, just say it was you who rewarded them. Call them in one by one, and when you give them the money, say a few words of encouragement."
"Meng Shaoyuan, what bad ideas are you using?" Gao Fanyi asked coldly.
"What bad ideas can I use? I have already paid for it myself." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I was forced by the eldest lady to have no choice. Don't you want to pay to save your own head? Brother Gao, the guards who will come in soon, you Can you help me remember their names in order?"
A smile flashed across Kong Lingyi's lips: "Gao Fanyi, call the guards in one by one."
"Yes!" Although the boss was not happy, Gao Fanyi still followed the eldest lady's instructions.
The guards came in one after another. Kong Lingyi asked Gao Fanyi to give them some money for each guard. At the same time, he encouraged them a few words according to Meng Shaoyuan's words.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't say a word, but watched very carefully from the side.
After the twelve guards came in one by one, Kong Lingyi's eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan: "What now?"
"The fourth...the seventh...the eleventh." Meng Shaoyuan did not answer immediately, just murmured there, and then suddenly raised his head: "Brother Gao, what is the name of the fourth one?"
"Zhai Cai Cai".
"it's him!"
"Do you want to make a plan?"
"Brother Gao, how long has this person been with the eldest lady?"
"It's been two years."
"Do you have any hobbies? Do you like gambling?"
"Yes, how did you know? He likes to gamble. As soon as he gets his salary, he will gamble whenever he has a holiday. If he wins the bet, he is considered generous. But if he loses everything, he won't go out for more than half a month."
"Has any money been lost where your guards live?"
"Yes." Gao Fanyi was startled, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I have thrown it away two or three times, but the amount was not big each time. I thought that if something like this happened among the guards around the eldest lady, it would not sound good if it was spread. Every time someone lost money, I paid for it out of my own pocket. What, do you think it was him?"
"It's most likely Zhai Caicai who stole it."
"Why are you so sure? Have you known him before?"
"I don't know him." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I have carefully observed every guard who came in just now. When Zhai Caicai came in, the eldest lady rewarded him with money. He took the money with his right hand and held it very tightly, as if he was afraid that he would loosen it. The money is gone. People who are used to being poor will react like this, but the guards around the eldest lady will not react like this. This shows that he is particularly short of money during this period.
When the eldest lady encouraged him, his eyes kept falling on the pile of money on the table. His left hand kept touching his trouser pocket unconsciously, and his right hand was holding the money harder. Under normal circumstances, people generally do not have these two reactions at the same time. It only occurs when the mind is highly stressed or when it becomes a natural habit.
Here, there is no assassination targeting the eldest lady, why is he nervous? People who like to gamble but always lose will hold on to the money or chips very tightly before every bet. They are worried that if they lose it, the money will no longer belong to them. He looked at the remaining money and kept touching his pockets reflexively, hoping that all the money was his own. "
"Is there any money missing from the guards?" Kong Lingyi also became curious.
"It's very simple. His reactions show that he has been short of money, and maybe he still owes a lot of gambling debts. A gambler can do anything when he is at the end of his rope." Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly. : "So I made a guess. Miss, this person can't be used."
"Gao Fanyi, when you go back, give him a severance package and let him go." Kong Lingyi almost had no time to think.
"yes!"
Gao Fanyi felt a little unhappy.
Meng Shaoyuan just said these few words, and a guard lost his job?
"That's for later."
Meng Shaoyuan said: "Miss, I have one more thing to ask of you."
"Say it."
"Give these twelve guards a three-day holiday."
"What?" Gao Fanyi became anxious: "On holiday? Who will protect the eldest lady?"
"I!"
"You?" Gao Fanyi's eyes widened: "If you wanted to protect them, you would have protected them already. Where are your people?"
Meng Shaoyuan ignored him at all: "Miss, you have to find a better excuse why you want to give them leave, and you must not involve me in this matter. As for your safety, so be it, from now on , the eldest lady will stay with me, and I will personally be responsible for protecting you, so you can rest assured, right?"
"Meng Shaoyuan!" Gao Fanyi gritted his teeth: "Are you protecting the eldest lady? Do you have a plan? How many people are you going to use to protect her? If a bullet is fired at the eldest lady, will you pounce on her without any hesitation?"
"Won't!"
Meng Shaoyuan said confidently: "Am I crazy, using my own body to block bullets? I need someone to block bullets for me."
"Meng Shaoyuan!" Gao Fanyi couldn't bear it anymore: "You bastard, how dare you say such a thing!"
"I'm a bastard. Everyone in Shanghai knows it. You don't need to tell me." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care at all: "Maybe someone really comes to assassinate me. I will still hide behind the eldest lady. I'm afraid of death. How about it? Isn't it okay to be afraid of death? "
Gao Fanyi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"That's enough." Kong Lingyi finally said: "Gao Fanyi, is this the first day you've met this person? Is there anything shameless that he can't do? You don't have to use your brain. He has already said that he is afraid of death. A person who is afraid of death is most worried about being plotted against him. Someone really wants to assassinate me. If I die, will he be able to live? Don't worry, the Japanese will definitely make no mistake in choosing to kill me or him. Don’t hesitate to shoot the bullet at District Chief Meng.”
"Oh, Miss, you are wise." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Don't worry, the Japanese will see us both at the same time, and they will definitely not take you seriously. Then my reputation in Shanghai is much greater than yours. "
