"Do you really want to arrest me?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled very happily.
Klass said sullenly: "Do you think I can't arrest you?"
He is a knight conferred by His Majesty the King of the British Empire himself.
He is the general director of the board of directors of the Shanghai Public Settlement Industry Bureau.
"Of course you can arrest me." Meng Shaoyuan turned to Joey: "Mr. Freemont, are you willing to see me arrested?"
"Of course not." Joey replied without thinking: "Litong Company is the most important partner of Angus International Bank. You are also one of the shareholders of the bank. The bank and I will try our best to prevent this from happening. .”
"Thank you." Meng Shaoyuan said politely, and then asked: "General Manager Thomas, are you willing to see me arrested?"
Thomas did not answer directly, but said to Klass: "Your Excellency, Mr. Meng Shaoyuan is a major customer of Citibank. As far as I know, he has not done anything illegal. If he is arrested for something, I will notify him directly." The head office and the board of directors, we will use our own methods to let the US government protest against the British government!"
Of course, it is impossible for the US government to directly intervene in this kind of matter. But Thomas’s attitude is already very clear:
Citibank fully supports Meng Shaoyuan!
"Shanghai's industrial and commercial community will not allow me to be arrested, and our National Government will not allow me to be arrested!" Meng Shaoyuan said calmly:
"And those people will not allow me to be arrested!"
Klas couldn't help but asked: "Who are they?"
"You can go outside and see for yourself!"
"problem occurs."
A man from the Ministry of Industry bureau hurriedly broke into the office:
"Something big happened outside!"
…
Something big happened!
Something big happened outside the Ministry of Industry Bureau building.
First, a dozen cars drove up, and a large group of unidentified people got out of the cars.
The armed business group responsible for protecting the security here is facing a powerful enemy.
However, this group of people made no next move. They just stared at the opposite side coldly.
This is just the beginning.
Hundreds of rickshaws showed up.
The rickshaw pullers parked their rickshaws and stood side by side, staring coldly at the Ministry of Industry Bureau building.
This is still just the beginning!
Not long after, large groups of people appeared at several intersections.
They all wear bunts and a red sleeve on their left arm.
Youth gang members are out in force!
With a bang, as soon as the Green Gang arrived, they immediately dispersed and formed a semi-encirclement around the main entrance of the Ministry of Industry Bureau building.
"What do you want to do!"
A British officer who was transferred here to protect the safety of the Ministry of Industry came over and asked angrily.
"Sir, we are not doing anything."
With one word, the crowd immediately separated. Wu Jingyi, wearing a suit, slowly walked out from behind. She said in proficient English: "We are here just to pick up one person."
As soon as the officer raised his hand, the British troops behind him and the armed merchant group immediately set up their weapons.
Wu Jingyi smiled: "Mr. officer, how many people can you kill? In a moment, all the dung workers, coolies, and shoe polishers in Shanghai will gather here. How many bullets do you have? Shoot, can you bear such a responsibility?" ?”
The officer couldn't help but take a step back.
At the scene, no one spoke except Wu Jingyi.
But everyone is watching eagerly.
The officer had reason to believe that as long as this woman gave the order, the most terrifying scene would happen.
How many bullets do you have, and how many people can you kill?
Can you afford such responsibility?
…
"Meng Shaoyuan, what do you want to do?"
All roads outside the entire Ministry of Industry Bureau building were blocked.
At a glance, it was so densely packed that I had no idea how many people were coming.
Claes roared angrily.
"I don't want to do anything."
Meng Shaoyuan said nonchalantly: "I don't know those people, ah, maybe they are all employees of Litong Company. Their boss is about to be arrested, and they think the boss is innocent, so they came here spontaneously."
Klaas was never willing to surrender in front of such a person: "Ask for military reinforcements, arrest, suppress, immediately!"
"Unless you have the courage!"
Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "You are afraid of the Japanese, aren't you afraid of me? You are worried that the Japanese army will enter the concession, aren't you afraid that I will do something in the concession? You want to ensure the order of the public concession? Take action and send troops to suppress it. Right. Do you want to see the public concession turn into a bloody battlefield? I will make it happen for you!"
Claes clenched his hands into fists.
Meng Shaoyuan spoke slowly: "I am the general manager of Litong Company. Everything I do has nothing to do with the National Government, and the National Government will refuse to acknowledge it. I will be responsible for everything I do. What about you, can you be responsible at least?" "
People like Klass are actually cowardly in nature.
He saw Japan's power, so he was afraid of Japan and gave in to Japan's unreasonable demands.
He despises the Chinese from the bottom of his heart, so he feels that he can ride on the head of the Chinese.
He didn't think there would be any trouble in helping Japan deal with military reunification.
That's because he hadn't met this man before:
Meng Shaoyuan!
"Mr. President, can you come over there to talk?"
Moyes called Klaas aside and whispered: "He will, I swear to you he will. You don't understand this place, and you don't understand this person. He is not only the commander of the military, but also the leader of the Youth Gang. , he can interfere in all walks of life in Shanghai, he is crazy, and I guarantee that he will do even crazier things."
A cowardly person, a person who always chooses to compromise habitually, when he meets a tough person who will never back down and even threatens you with force, he will always choose to compromise in the first place in his heart.
There are so many people gathered outside, and if they are not handled properly, unpredictable and terrible events will occur. Besides, he has people like Joey and Thomas backing him up, which is also troublesome.
How could Klaas, who had just taken office, watch such a thing happen?
He decided to choose a temporary compromise. Of course, the British's nobility, how could he bow to a Chinese?
So, he turned to Meng Shaoyuan and his tone softened slightly: "Mr. Meng Shaoyuan, if you can really strictly abide by the laws of the public concession, I have no reason to arrest you, please leave."
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman." Meng Shaoyuan said politely: "But my people are still being detained. If I don't see my people being released, the story between us will continue."
"Are you threatening me?" Klaas became angry again: "Are you threatening the Ministry of Industry and Commerce? Do you think your threat is useful?"
"It's not a threat, just a friendly warning. I hope you will go well in the days to come!" Meng Shaoyuan said politely.
