During lunch, Tang Cheng returned to his residence with a melancholy look on his face. Perhaps because he saw a hint of exhaustion in Tang Cheng's expression, after lunch, Zhang Jianghe asked Tang Cheng to go to the study room on the second floor. "Did you go to see Bai Zhanshan?" Zhang Jianghe, with a probing look in his eyes, reached out to take the cigarette handed to him by Tang Cheng, lit it and took a puff before asking Tang Cheng.
"Yes! We made an appointment before!" Seeing that Zhang Jianghe seemed to be very concerned about his meeting with Bai Zhanshan, Tang Cheng did not hide it and told Zhang Jianghe all the details of his meeting with Bai Zhanshan. Zhang Jianghe did not interrupt Tang Cheng's narration, but just smoked silently. It was only when he heard that Bai Zhanshan asked Tang Cheng to help find out the whereabouts of the batch of medicines that a sneer appeared on Zhang Jianghe's face.
"He is testing you. Whether it is leaving Yuan Cheng's rebellion to others, or the medicines you just mentioned, these are Bai Zhanshan's tests." Zhang Jianghe did not tell Tang Cheng how he made the decision His judgment was just to remind Tangcheng. "I don't know if there is something else here that I don't know, but I am certain that this is Bai Zhanshan's test for you. You have to be careful! This person has no bottom line in doing things."
Seeing Tang Cheng looking at him with a puzzled expression, Zhang Jianghe could only explain patiently, "I haven't been in contact with Bai Zhanshan for a long time, but I know him fairly well. This person's original reputation was pretty good, but I don’t know why, but this person is becoming more and more utilitarian. When a person who is overly utilitarian often looks at problems, he will only see the side that is beneficial to him. Such a person is not actually suitable for intelligence work. .”
"It's hard to say whether Yuan Cheng's matter is true or false. Let's just talk about the batch of trauma drugs. In the final analysis, it's just a rumor without a shadow. He is a special correspondent sent to Shanghai by the headquarters. Doesn't he know what it means to catch rumors? All in vain? I guess what he cares about is your channel for obtaining intelligence! When you assassinated Kenichi Yamamoto last time, you did not seek intelligence support from the Shanghai Station."
Zhang Jianghe had already hit the point with just a few words of explanation, and Tang Cheng had to admit that Jiang is still the hottest when he is old. "Then what do you think I should do now?" Tang Cheng was sincerely asking Zhang Jianghe for advice. When it came to his ability to deal with others, Zhang Jianghe, who was almost 40 years old, was much better than him.
Zhang Jianghe laughed when he heard this, "Bai Zhanshan is ruthless in heart, but he is a guy with insufficient confidence. He likes to be careless and hesitant in doing things. To use a bad word, people like him have no idea at all. People like him have no idea at all." He is destined not to be on the big stage. He is testing you because he wants to use your channels to collect information and avoid being fooled by those people at Shanghai Station. I guess there should be someone behind him to help him make plans. Maybe it is the director specially sent to help him. of."
Zhang Jianghe said Bai Zhanshan was a man without brains and strategy. Tang Cheng, who had had contact with Bai Zhanshan, also agreed with this point. However, Tang Cheng had a different view of Zhang Jianghe's last sentence. "Uncle, do you think it's possible? Bai Zhanshan's every move is done according to the wishes of Nanjing. He is just an operations captain now. He is valued by the director and has the opportunity to succeed you as the special agent. Officer. He specially brought a counselor to Shanghai, but he doesn’t have such a big reputation, and I’m afraid Nanjing won’t allow it.”
Tang Cheng's words reminded Zhang Jianghe. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jianghe nodded. "What you said makes some sense. There are many factions in Nanjing and there are constant battles. Even the director must be careful. If you are so careful, I don't have to worry about you anymore. In short, when dealing with Bai Zhanshan , be extra careful, this person’s mind is not right.”
Tang Cheng nodded when he heard this, and then changed the subject and said, "Uncle, I think your injury has almost recovered. I don't have anything to do here. Should we consider returning to Nanjing?" Tang Cheng did not He said it very straightforwardly, just to bring up the topic first, and then discuss with Zhang Jianghe about returning to Nanjing.
"What? Are you tired of staying in Shanghai?" Just as Tang Cheng expected, Zhang Jianghe immediately raised his eyes and looked at Tang Cheng, but the expression on his face made Tang Cheng unable to tell the difference.
Hearing this, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "It's not like I'm tired of waiting. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day. I suddenly remembered that my family is here! After New Year's Day, it's the new year. I'm just worried that if I'm delayed in Shanghai for a long time, Well, things that I discussed with your director before will go wrong. As the old saying goes, every carrot is a pit, but I have found a deputy station chief position for you in Chongqing!"
"New Year's Day is the day after tomorrow?" Zhang Jianghe seemed to have just remembered it suddenly, with an inexplicable expression on his face. "Yeah, after New Year's Day, it's a new year, and a year has passed before I know it." Zhang Jianghe is not opposed to going to Chongqing to work. He has lost an arm and knows that even if he stays in Nanjing, he will not be able to become a new year. Instead of staying in Nanjing and being on the bench, it would be more cost-effective for the director's celebrity to go to Chongqing to do something serious.
When talking about returning to Nanjing at this time, Tang Cheng wanted to test Zhang Jianghe to see if Zhang Jianghe had the intention to leave the intelligence office and go to the northwest. Seeing Zhang Jiang and the other people who were interested in going to Chongqing, Tang Cheng immediately felt relieved and secretly thought that the next plan could finally be implemented. After discussing with Zhang Jianghe for a while, they finally decided to return to Nanjing after New Year's Day. Tang Cheng knew that some things must be done as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, Tang Cheng went to Hans and told Hans that the Intelligence Department was also looking for this batch of drugs. "Tang, look at what I said. I know that there is no smoke without fire. These rumored drugs are probably real." After not seeing each other for a night, Hans looked vaguely excited, secretly in Tangcheng. While he was speculating, Hans took the initiative to reveal the answer.
"Tang, thank you for the clue you told me yesterday. Although my people rushed to the hotel and did not find the two people you mentioned, I still found the man and woman through the patrol room's internal line." Hans smiled and winked at Tang Cheng. Eyes, "After dark last night, they were already my guests, and I had a sincere and friendly exchange with them. These two people are understanding people, and they naturally know whether to choose to be my friend or my enemy." , I already have some clues about that batch of drugs."
Hans's words made Tang Cheng have the urge to punch this guy on the bridge of his nose. What kind of friendly communication is bullshit! Tang Cheng could figure it out without using his brain. The friendly communication Hans mentioned was definitely not a calm conversation. , maybe some dark means like torture were used. However, Tang Cheng still suppressed this impulse first, lowered his eyes and asked Hans, "Are you sure that batch of medicines really exists?"
"Tang, I am a decent man, and we are friends. I never lie to my friends." Tang Cheng's question made Hans very unhappy, and then he looked at Tang Cheng with his blue eyes. "I can tell you clearly now that I already know roughly where the batch of medicines are stored, and I have sent people to find out. I may not even have to wait until lunch, I will be able to find the exact place where they are stored, you will soon Then you’ll know if I’m lying to you.”
Hans's answer was so clear-cut that Tang Cheng couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Could it be that this unreliable guy really found the whereabouts of the batch of medicines? The suspicion on Tang Cheng's face made Hans secretly feel happy. He had even begun to imagine what kind of expression Tang Cheng would have on his face when his subordinates brought back the exact information. Hans said that he would get the exact information during lunch, but in fact, he did not even need to wait until lunch. The people Hans sent out had already sent back the news.
"Are you sure it's on the east bank of the Huangpu River?" Tang Cheng's fingers holding the cigarette trembled secretly. If Hans' people were really sure that the batch of medicines was hidden in Pudong, Xu Huanshan and the others might really have the possibility of snatching it from the tiger's mouth. Since the opening of Shanghai as a port, the economy along the Huangpu River has developed rapidly. Although the east of the Huangpu River is still a rural area, there are many small docks and warehouses built by foreigners along the river, taking advantage of the geographical advantages. Many foreign goods will pass through here and be shipped directly to the Bund by ship.
Hans's men repeatedly assured that they had indeed found clues to the medicine, and also said that they had discovered that there were other people who were also inquiring about the medicine. Only then did Tang Cheng finally believe it. "Hans, continue to ask your people to keep an eye on the east coast. New Year's Day will be in two days. In other words, you still have two days to prepare. On New Year's Day, let's take action." Tangcheng responded immediately, When Hans was filled with joy, he didn't know that Tang Cheng was already thinking about how to deliver the news to Xu Huanshan.
Finding the whereabouts of the batch of medicines so quickly was something Tang Cheng never expected before going out. After having lunch at Hans' place, Tang Cheng excused himself to go back and make preparations before leaving. In order to prevent Hans from sending someone to follow him, Tang Cheng, who left the restaurant, did not go anywhere else but returned to his residence. An old man in a family is like a treasure. Only now did Tang Cheng understand the meaning of this sentence. He believed that Zhang Jianghe would be able to help him solve the trouble in front of him.
"Are you sure your friend isn't trying to coax you?" Although he didn't know what kind of friends Tang Cheng had made in Shanghai, Zhang Jianghe didn't expect that Tang Cheng would come back from wandering around this morning. Said they found the whereabouts of that batch of medicines. Anyone else would have found it hard to believe this, especially Zhang Jianghe, who was engaged in intelligence work and always maintained the necessary vigilance and suspicion about everything.
