After killing 17 people in the gang's opium den in one go, Tang Cheng finally let out a breath of bad breath, and the anger that had been pent up in his heart finally dissipated a lot. After letting out a breath of anger, Tang Cheng felt refreshed, but he didn't know that after he left, the remaining members of the He Gang became furious, and other forces in the concession also noticed this. .
"Are you looking for trouble with the He Gang?" Tang Cheng, who returned to his residence, had no intention of hiding the matter from Zhang Jianghe, but Zhang Jianghe looked a little ugly when he learned about it. "Xiaowu, your father and I are old friends and can be considered your elders. Although I know that you went to the He Gang to avenge me, I don't want you to become a killing machine." After coming to Shanghai In every move, except for the private meeting with Xu Huanshan, Tang Cheng told Zhang Jianghe that the number of people Tang Cheng had killed in Shanghai was almost over fifty.
Although he knew that Tang Cheng had good intentions, Zhang Jianghe felt uncomfortable. After all, he was of the blood of an old friend. Zhang Jianghe was unwilling to see Tang Cheng go astray, and he did not want Tang Cheng to become a killing machine. Tang Cheng was not angry at Zhang Jianghe because of the words "killing machine" because he knew that if Zhang Jianghe hadn't cared about him, he would never have said those words.
"Uncle, don't worry. You also know my mother's temperament. Do you think I can do anything extraordinary with her watching over me? How can I help those people run a smoking den? I didn't kill them all for the business that ruined their lives, I just gave them a warning!" Tang Cheng answered lightly, but Zhang Jianghe knew that the matter was definitely not as simple as Tang Cheng said.
Sure enough, the next day's newspaper contained news about the He Gang. From the newspaper, he learned that Tang Cheng had killed more than a dozen people in the He Gang's opium den. Zhang Jianghe could only sigh secretly in his heart at this moment. Tang Cheng rushed to meet Bai Zhanshan early in the morning, and he was not in the habit of reading newspapers in the morning, so he had no idea that yesterday's events had been in the newspapers. "Uncle Bai, I need information. If you don't even know where Yuan Cheng is, I may not be able to help you with this matter."
Still in the elegant teahouse room where they met last time, Tang Cheng and Bai Zhanshan were sitting opposite each other, with a pot of hot tea and several dried fruit preserves on the table. It was a little different from what Tang Cheng expected. He originally thought that Bai Zhanshan would be in a state of panic all day long because of Yuan Cheng's incident. But when he saw Bai Zhanshan again, Tang Cheng found that instead of showing the slightest trace of panic, Bai Zhanshan's face looked better than last time.
Tang Cheng couldn't guess what the inside story was, and he didn't bother to guess, so he went straight to the point and saw how Bai Zhanshan could deal with it. Tang Cheng's words made Bai Zhanshan raise his eyebrows slightly, then glanced at Tang Cheng, and then spoke. "I have someone here to deal with Yuan Cheng's matter. I still have a troublesome matter here. If you have time, why not help me solve this matter first."
"What does government drug procurement have to do with the Intelligence Department? Why would Nanjing want you to pay attention to this?" After seeing the folder handed over by Bai Zhanshan, although Tang Cheng looked calm on his face, he actually had a boil in his heart. Tang Cheng felt uneasy because of the folder Bai Zhanshan gave him. The contents of the folder were almost the same as what Hans had said before, and they were also about the batch of black market drugs.
Tang Cheng didn't know why Bai Zhanshan paid attention to this matter, but he guessed that this matter was definitely not requested by Nanjing. Maybe Bai Zhanshan wanted to use his identity as an intelligence agency to get involved in this batch of black market drugs. "Who knows what it means, but I heard that Nanjing is also doing this. The circulation of medicines in Nanjing must be subject to government supervision." Bai Zhanshan's answer once again exceeded Tangcheng's guess. Is this really an order from Nanjing?
Tang Cheng was suspicious, but it didn't show on his expression, but he began to secretly pay attention to Bai Zhanshan's expression and reaction. "Xiao Wu, we are our own people. You have been in Shanghai for a long time. I know that you had another way to find out the news about the assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto last time. So, you must help me in this matter!" Hearing Bai Zhanshan's words, Tang Cheng, who raised his brows, suddenly realized that Bai Zhanshan was here specifically to test him.
No one in Tang Cheng, including Zhang Jianghe, told anyone about his friendship with Hans, because Hans, who worked for the German intelligence agency, was an American after all. This was a way out for Tang Cheng to leave for himself and his family. . Bai Zhanshan's words made Tang Cheng laugh secretly in his heart, thinking that he didn't even tell Zhang Jianghe, who are you? "Uncle Bai, you are wronging me by saying that. There are not many other things in Shanghai, but there are many intelligence dealers. As long as you can afford the money, there will be people rushing to help you find out the information. If you need it, I will give you a few addresses, you can go and see for yourself."
Tang Cheng, who was well prepared, pushed back and refused to admit that he had other intelligence channels. As for the addresses he gave Bai Zhanshan, they were all places where capable people from all walks of life gathered in the French Concession. Places like bars and cafes. Tang Cheng's denial didn't seem to go beyond Bai Zhanshan's expectations, so he wasn't angry at all. He just emphasized the importance of the matter, making Tang Cheng secretly curse Bai Zhanshan as an old fox.
"Uncle Bai, I will never refuse if I can help. It's just that this matter is just a rumor in the first place. It's still a matter of debate. Let's take a step back and say, even if we find out that there is this batch of medicines, there are still other things involved. When it comes to the British, do you dare to reach out? The British, among other things, are very arrogant and messy. I'm afraid that in order to calm things down, Nanjing will have to introduce a scapegoat to appease the British!"
Tang Cheng said this with a sinister intention. Bai Zhanshan was so happy when he heard this that he handed the two gold bars to Tang Cheng. "I know you are a master who doesn't let go of eagles. Since you said that information can be bought, I'll give you these two notes. You can find out the information as soon as possible! I don't know if the British will be annoyed, but I know that as long as Nanjing is there, The order comes from Bian, even if the King of Heaven is involved, we should still take action!"
Bai Zhanshan's attitude was so resolute that Tang Cheng felt secretly heartbroken. It seemed that he could not escape the relationship. After flicking his fingers on the two gold bars, Tang Cheng reached out and pushed the two gold bars back to Bai Zhanshan. "Uncle Bai, don't be impatient. Just listen to me." Seeing Bai Zhanshan's expression suddenly change, Tang Cheng grinned.
"Uncle Bai, you should know why I came to Shanghai. My uncle Zhang has almost recovered from his injuries. The main purpose of meeting you today is to ask for news about Yuan Cheng. I originally planned to help you kill that Yuan Cheng. After that, I accompanied Uncle Zhang back to Nanjing, but I didn’t expect you to come up with such a fictitious thing again. Let me tell you the truth, I don’t have that much time to stay in Shanghai, and the current situation in Shanghai The situation is too tense and chaotic for my small frame to handle."
Whether Tang Cheng's words were true or false, Bai Zhanshan couldn't figure out the authenticity of Tang Cheng's words for a moment. "There have been constant gunshots in the concession these days, and there are gang members everywhere who are helping the special high school. I have to be careful when I go out now, for fear of exposing my feet and being targeted by those gang members. The matter of medicines , it’s just a rumor so far, with no actual information or news at all, how do you want me to get started?”
"Besides, you know me well. My only ability is to find people, and that's only in places like Nanjing where I've lived there for more than ten years. This is Shanghai, where the situation is complicated, and now you want me to work for your intelligence department. We are on a mission, do you think it is appropriate?" What Tang Cheng said before did not change Bai Zhanshan's expression, but his last words of complaint did make Bai Zhanshan frown slightly.
Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to the other party's expression, was overjoyed when he saw this, and then continued, "Uncle Bai, no matter who it is or what kind of goods it is, as long as it goes in and out of Shanghai, it can't escape the eyes and ears of the Qing Gang. I heard that the Qing Gang and the Intelligence Department also have some Yuanyuan, why don't you directly ask the Qinggang for help, I guess it will work." Tangcheng's suggestion is not without purpose. The Qinggang wants to find someone or inquire about some information in Shanghai. Even the Intelligence Department and Even intelligence departments like the Special High School can't compare.
"Are you really ready to leave Shanghai?" Seeing that Tang Cheng had made his attitude clear, Bai Zhanshan did not continue to pester him, but immediately changed the subject. When I met Zhang Jianghe that night, Bai Zhanshan also saw that Zhang Jianghe was recovering well from his injuries, and if Zhang Jianghe was stranded in Shanghai for a long time, other changes might occur at the Nanjing headquarters, so Bai Zhanshan did not I don’t really doubt the authenticity of what Tang Cheng said just now.
"Maybe it happened in the past few days!" Tang Cheng's answer did not exceed Bai Zhanshan's guess. "You also know that Uncle Zhang is missing an arm. Even if he returns to Nanjing, your intelligence department will not continue to ask Uncle Zhang to serve as the captain of the operation. If you seize the time to go back and find ways to clear things up, maybe Uncle Zhang can still I can change my position to a more leisurely position. Before I came to Shanghai, I told the director about this matter in private, and he promised to help. I was worried about the long nights and dreams."
Tang Cheng had no intention of hiding some things from Bai Zhanshan, especially the transfer of Zhang Jianghe to Chongqing. Before Tang Cheng came to Shanghai, he had negotiated with the director of Nanjing on the condition of carrying out retaliatory actions. Bai Zhanshan was regarded as the director's confidant. Even if Tang Cheng didn't talk about it now, Bai Zhanshan would know about it in the end.
