Under the shadow of street lights and neon signs of street shops, Zhou Hongzhuang's entire face and ears were red, resembling cooked shrimps and crabs. Tang Cheng wished she could give herself a slap in the face. The way Zhou Hongzhuang looked at this moment, Tang Cheng was not uncommon in those youth movies and TV dramas in later generations. Those nymphomaniac school girls met by chance or were alone with their handsome seniors. At that time, it looked like this. To be honest, Zhou Hongzhuang is not very beautiful, but her heroic eyebrows and dark eyes give Zhou Hongzhuang an aloof look.

Moreover, Zhou Hongzhuang is not short. Tangcheng visually estimated that this woman is at least close to 1.7 meters tall. Women of this height are not in line with the public's aesthetics in this era. However, Tangcheng, who came from later generations, has no regard for this height. women have a soft spot. Damn it! Tang Cheng cursed secretly in his heart, wondering why he suddenly thought of this. Tang Cheng suddenly didn't dare to look at Zhou Hongzhuang anymore, and just whispered to Zhou Hongzhuang who was at a loss.

"This is not a place to stay for a long time. It's better to go home quickly. If anything happens, we'll talk about it when we get back!" Tang Cheng always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but for a while, he still couldn't be sure of this discomfort. Where does the feeling of comfort come from. Zhou Hongzhuang didn't say anything, but was pulled into a rickshaw by Tang Cheng, and then returned to her residence all the way. After returning to their residence, Tang Cheng separated from Zhou Hongzhuang. However, Tang Cheng didn't sleep well all night.

Zhang Jianghe went to bed early and got up early, but Tangcheng's unexpectedly lazy bed surprised Zhang Jianghe. Ever since moving here, as long as Tangcheng didn't stay up all night, he would always get up early to practice boxing the next day. Today was a big day accident. "You mean, the two of them went out last night and came back together?" After breakfast, Zhang Jianghe heard even more surprising news from the housekeeper William.

"This boy, could it be that he has fallen in love with Miss Zhou!" Zhang Jianghe was no longer in the mood to read the newspaper. With a smile on his face, he couldn't help but rub his chin. "But with his stubborn temper, Miss Zhou may not like him!" His family knew about his family affairs, and Zhang Jianghe knew very well what kind of character Tang Cheng was. In Zhang Jianghe's memory, Tang Cheng There never seemed to be any young women with whom he had a good relationship around.

Besides, Zhou Hongzhuang was a member of Shanghai’s underground party, while Tang Cheng’s late father was from the Intelligence Service. Coupled with Tang Cheng’s extremely complicated private social relations, Zhang Jianghe didn’t think that Zhou Hongzhuang would fall in love with Tang Cheng. city. Tang Cheng, who slept until after breakfast, didn't know that William and Zhang Jiang, who had nothing to do, were arranging themselves in private. When he came downstairs, Zhou Hongzhuang was chatting with Zhang Jianghe downstairs. When he saw Tang Cheng appearing in the living room on the first floor, their expressions and reactions were completely different.

Seeing Tangcheng, Zhang Jianghe immediately remembered the news that William told him, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face. When Zhou Hongzhuang saw Tang Cheng, her eyes immediately became wandering, and she would only use the corner of her eyes to pay attention to Tang Cheng from time to time. How could Zhou Hongzhuang's childlike appearance escape Zhang Jianghe's eyes? Looking at Tangcheng again, only focusing on the breakfast served by William, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but secretly cursed the foodie in his heart.

Tang Cheng didn't know that Zhang Jianghe was scolding him as a foodie in his heart. While eating breakfast, he recalled what happened last night. The more he thought about it, the less he thought about it. Everything that happened last night seemed wrong. After a hasty breakfast, Tang Cheng winked at Zhang Jianghe secretly, then went upstairs to the study to wait for Zhang Jianghe. "What did you and Miss Zhou do last night?" Zhang Jianghe, who came upstairs, asked about what happened last night as soon as he entered the study.

"How...how did you know we went out last night?" Tang Cheng almost jumped out of his chair. He went out with Zhou Hongzhuang last night, after Zhang Jianghe went upstairs to rest.

"Hmph, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing. I'm telling you, Miss Zhou is a pitiful person. Don't harm her!" Tang Cheng's reaction was regarded by Zhang Jianghe as a sign of guilty conscience, and he immediately straightened his face and warned. Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng was confused at the moment, and almost forgot why he came to Zhang Jianghe upstairs.

"Uncle, please don't tell me this yet...Listen to me first..." Tang Cheng, who couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, immediately told Zhang Jianghe everything about what happened last night, hoping that Zhang Jianghe could help him. Solve doubts. "I just feel that something was not right about what happened last night. For example, those men in black, if they were gang members in the concession, they would never let us go so easily."

Although the concession is a paradise for foreigners, there are also many gangs in the concession. The gangs' method of obtaining money is nothing more than deception, abduction, kidnapping and extortion. Just as Tang Cheng said, if the men in black they met last night were gang members in the concession, and they encountered such a good opportunity to make money, those gang members would definitely not do anything and just let Tang Cheng and the others leave. . After listening to Tang Cheng's words, Zhang Jianghe also felt that there was something wrong. However, he was not present last night. He could not make a correct judgment just by listening to Tang Cheng's words.

Tang Cheng had no choice but to go out to find Hans with many questions. Hans was still needed to help find clues about the matter at Bai Zhan Mountain. "Are you sure this person named Yuan Cheng is a traitor from the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Agency?" Taking the photo provided by Bai Zhanshan, Hans squinted at Tang Cheng, who looked depressed. "The secret fight between the Intelligence Department and the Special High School Division has become more and more lively these days. If a traitor appears within the Intelligence Department at this time, the Special High School Division should strike while the iron is hot, but I have not received any special information at all. News about the start of a new round of actions in higher education.”

Hans' words made Tang Cheng slightly stunned. Hans' words sounded like he was raising his own doubts, but Tang Cheng heard something strange in them. "What do you mean? Do you think this is false news deliberately released by Shanghai Station? But I don't think they can do any good by doing this!" Tang Cheng pondered thoughtfully, before Hans had done anything. Before he came up with the answer, an even stranger idea suddenly came to his mind.

Hans expressed doubts about whether Yuan Cheng had really rebelled against the intelligence agency, because Bai Zhanshan did not provide any other useful clues or information, and Tang Cheng actually began to doubt whether this matter was a trap set by Bai Zhanshan for him. "It shouldn't be what you think!" Hans saw Tang Cheng's doubts and immediately smiled. "You have a good relationship with the Intelligence Department, and you have been helping them with their work. If it were me, I wouldn't do anything to a skilled guy like you."

But if what happened to Yuan Cheng was not against him intentionally, it was last night. Why did Bai Zhanshan behave so weirdly? Zhang Jianghe failed to help him find the answer to the matter of going out with Zhou Hongzhuang last night. Hans also failed to provide him with much help regarding Yuan Cheng. Tang Cheng seemed to be a little heavier when he left the restaurant. When Tang Cheng left Hans' restaurant, he did not hail a rickshaw and leave on the street as usual, but walked along the street with the purpose of following the pedestrians.

After walking through two street intersections in a row, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that someone seemed to be following him behind him. Tang Cheng did not turn around hastily. He just used the corner of his eye to pay attention to the street window glass of the street shop, but did not notice the person following him. , walked directly into a cafe on the street. According to Tangcheng's custom, he would choose a location close to the street window so that he could easily observe the situation outside the store.

Only this time, Tang Cheng did not sit down by the window facing the street. Instead, he chose a seat in the back, back to back with a foreign man and woman. After sitting down, Tang Cheng took out a lighter and a silver cigarette case from his pocket. Smoking was not prohibited in cafes in this era. Tang Cheng only needed to flip the silver cigarette case to a certain angle after lighting the cigarette. , you can see the situation outside the cafe window from the back of the silver cigarette case, which is as smooth as a mirror.

Tang Cheng learned this skill from Hans. Even the silver cigarette case and lighter were snatched from Hans. However, after personally verifying it at this moment, Tang Cheng felt that this skill was actually not good. Mainly because the things seen on the back of the cigarette box are too blurry. The waiter quickly brought Tang Cheng's coffee, and like everyone else in the cafe, Tang Cheng also ordered a newspaper. While flipping through today's newspaper and sipping coffee, Tangcheng looked very leisurely at the moment.

"Margaret, you have to know that this batch of medicines is very valuable. If my father hadn't been seriously ill and I was in a hurry to return to the United States, I would never have sold it at such a price." Sitting behind Tang Cheng The foreigner's voice was low, as if he felt that Tang Cheng, who was sitting back to back with them, could not understand English, so he just lowered his voice slightly, but did not take too many precautions.

The foreign woman named Margaret looked like she was in her 30s. She mentioned what her companion said and just laughed softly. "Mike, although I'm sorry that your father is seriously ill and hospitalized, that's your problem, and it didn't arise because of our business. In fact, if you don't give me this batch of medicines, I believe that in Shanghai, Absolutely no one will take this batch of medicines from you, even though they are valuable goods." The woman's chuckle made the foreign man with his back to Tangcheng a little angry, and his voice became louder.

"Margaret, you can't do this. I know you have a good relationship with the Japanese, but this is a business. Since it is a business, we shouldn't get involved with other things. You know, this is an ordinary business. Man, I have no political leanings and no political opinions, but I don’t want to have anything to do with the Japanese." There was a hint of irritation in Mike's voice that was deliberately suppressed. Tang Cheng's heart moved, and he immediately paid more attention to the two people behind him. conversation.
