"Probably not. He is absolutely interested in anything that can make him money. And I also think this is very possible. There are many warehouses and small docks built by foreigners in Jiangdong. I plan to do it today and tomorrow. Let's go to the east coast and take a look at the situation. If we can really find this batch of medicines, the Intelligence Department should be very beneficial to you after we return to Nanjing." Tang Cheng's answer deviated from the original topic, but Zhang Jianghe did not dwell too much on it. Here it is.
After informing Zhang Jianghe about the medicine, Tang Cheng wanted to use Zhang Jianghe to pass the news to Zhou Hongzhuang. Zhou Hongzhuang is a member of the Shanghai underground party. If she knows, it means that Xu Huanshan and others also know. This is much safer than going to meet with Xu Huanshan to inform him of the matter. I have to say that Tang Cheng is now learning to consider the pros and cons. Although he is not sure whether Hans sent someone to secretly follow him, he is 100% sure that Bai Zhanshan will definitely do this.
It was New Year's Day in two days, and Tang Cheng decided to take action on New Year's Day, so there was not much time left for him. In the next two days, Tang Cheng went out early and came back late all day long. The manpower secretly arranged by Bai Zhanshan was confused. They couldn't figure out why Tang Cheng was on the east bank of the Huangpu River all day long. "That boy is afraid that he has found the whereabouts of the medicines. He will immediately dispatch manpower to Jiangdong. We must find those medicines before others."
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Bai Zhanshan's first reaction was to immediately dispatch people to Jiangdong. In Bai Zhanshan's perception, Tang Cheng is a money-lover who has no profit and cannot afford to start early. If Jiangdong has no benefits to take advantage of, Tang Cheng will never go to Jiangdong and waste two days in vain. If Bai Zhanshan's premonition was correct, the people from the intelligence office rushed to Jiangdong. In just half a day, they discovered several groups of people coming and going in Jiangdong.
"It should be right. That batch of medicines came from India. India is the territory of the British. It is perfect to put it in the British warehouse." Not all of Bai Zhanshan's men are wine bags and rice bags. After searching for routes in Jiangdong, we quickly located the warehouses of several British merchants. After discussing with his men, Bai Zhanshan also tended to the conclusion that the medicine was stored in the British warehouse, but they had not yet determined the final target.
"Tang, the news may have been leaked. My people said that other forces have appeared in Jiangdong." Hans didn't know that the driving force behind the current situation was Tang Cheng. When he saw Tang again, Hans' expression didn't change. It doesn't look good. He is afraid that the medicine will be snatched away by other forces in advance, and his efforts will be in vain.
Hans' worries were shared by Tangcheng. While he was planning to pass the news to the Shanghai underground party, he also brought Bai Zhanshan in. Now including Hans, there were three forces involved that he knew about. . Shanghai is the territory of the Qing Gang. If there is any slight disturbance, the Qing Gang will know about it. Tangcheng now guesses that among the other forces mentioned by Hans, the Qing Gang should also be involved.
"Tang, if we force the robbery, we may not have enough strength here. As you know, my side mainly focuses on collecting intelligence, and there are not many operational personnel." Hans knew what Tang Cheng could know and what must be concealed , the manpower deployed in the last attack on Henry was actually Hans's limit.
"Hans, we are friends, and you promised that if you get this batch of medicines, I can own 30% of them. So, you don't have to worry about manpower. I will definitely try my best to help you get those medicines. I am a A person who keeps his word." Tang Cheng looked at Hans with a nonchalant side eye, "But I have something to tell you first. You just said that there are people from other forces in Jiangdong, and I'm afraid that it will cause trouble then. Melee.”
"I'm not afraid of fighting with people. I'm just worried about how you can keep the medicine after you get it! Although you are across the river from the Bund, once there is a firefight, there may not be time to ship the goods." Tang Cheng's worries at the moment were actually just to test Hans. He had to know if Hans had any back-up plans, lest he be betrayed by this guy.
"Tang, don't worry about this, I've already planned it!" Hans then smiled at Tang Cheng. "As long as we determine the time to take action, there will be an American cargo ship on the river to meet us. They will cover the batch of medicines and leave by water. If this was Tianjin, I could still find American warships to help. In this world, there is no such thing as Only bullets are still useful, and there is something called banknotes."
Hans told Tang Cheng the name of the American freighter without reservation, including the route and destination of the medicines leaving Shanghai. Knowing that Hans was going to transport the medicines to Tianjin, Tang Cheng suddenly had a thought in his mind. New ideas. Tang Cheng deliberately called the residence and learned from the housekeeper that Zhou Hongzhuang had not returned from the trip. He then knew that Zhang Jianghe had deliberately disclosed the medicine to Zhou Hongzhuang, and the latter should have passed the news to the Shanghai underground party at this moment.
Tang Cheng didn't hesitate at all and immediately called the emergency contact number Xu Huanshan gave him. The person who answered the phone was not Xu Huanshan. After Tang Cheng said on the phone that he was his third uncle according to Xu Huanshan's instructions, the person on the other end of the phone immediately gave Tang Cheng an address. Tang Cheng rushed to the new address and finally met Xu Huanshan, "I believe you should have obtained the information about the medicine, but now that new situations have arisen, the plan may need to be changed!"
The only person who met with Tang Cheng was Xu Huanshan himself. This was Tang Cheng's request. If other members of the underground party knew that he had contact with them, there might be unexpected dangers and troubles in the future. "Now I know that there are three waves of people searching for this batch of medicines, and maybe the Japanese and the Youth Gang are also included. There is a big melee among the five groups. This kind of seizing something from the fire is likely to lead to disaster. ." Tang Cheng kindly reminded Xu Huanshan not to be blinded by the good news in front of him.
Xu Huanshan is not the kind of person who likes to be hot-headed, and then nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do and what not to do! It's naturally a good thing to get that batch of medicines, but if you have to pay for it with human life, then it's terrible It's just not worthwhile, I'm not stupid enough to do that!" Xu Huanshan's assurance made Tang Cheng feel relieved, but when he met Xu Huanshan this time, he didn't want to persuade him to give up this batch of medicines.
"The current situation seems calm, but in fact it is secretly dangerous. The medicines are stored in British warehouses. I think some of the British and American businessmen in the concession must also be interested in those medicines. Foreigners, Japanese and intelligence agencies are also There is the Qing Gang, and it will be very difficult to get those medicines under their attack. I came to you because I have an idea that I need to discuss with you. What do you think about taking only part of the medicine?"
Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan's eyes light up, and he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "When you say that, I understand what you mean. You want to create chaos, then fish in troubled waters, and finally pour this pot of dirty water on other forces. Take it with you." Xu Huanshan's reaction was not slow, but after hearing Tang Cheng say that he would only take away some of the medicine, he immediately understood what Tang Cheng wanted to express.
Tang Cheng nodded when he heard this, "Yes, after much thought, I have a chance of success only by fishing in troubled waters. If you want to pour dirty water on others, you must leave them with some sweetness, otherwise there will be no way to divert other forces. attention." Tang Cheng did not tell Xu Huanshan about his relationship with Hans, but in his subconscious, it seemed that apart from the Japanese, only Hans was the best scapegoat.
Tang Cheng opened the sketch he drew, pointed at the small red dot in the sketch, and said to Xu Huanshan. "This is a sketch I drew myself. The location of the red dot is the warehouse where the medicines are stored. I was originally planning to directly kidnap the British owner of this warehouse, and then operate during the day to directly transport the medicines in the warehouse. Now. It seems that this plan has many loopholes, because the British owner of this warehouse is not in Shanghai now."
"So, I revised my action plan. Tomorrow is New Year's Day. After dark, I will personally lead a raid on this warehouse. The person who provided me with this information will arrange for an American cargo ship to pick it up in the Huangpu River. What you have to do It is to provide me with the manpower for action, and I also need to prepare another group of manpower. After I lead the men to raid the warehouse and succeed, I will be the oriole after seeing the mantis capture its prey. Of course, you cannot take away all the medicines. , otherwise my friend will definitely see the flaw!"
Tang Cheng had an idea to ask underground party members to directly participate in the raid when he heard Hans say that he did not have enough manpower. "The manpower you provide me should preferably have a sense of martial arts. Don't let others see that they have discipline at a glance. I want people who at first glance do things for money and look lazy. ." Xu Huanshan's eyes widened at Tang Cheng's request, and Tang Cheng only gave him one day to gather people, which was too tight.
The troubled look on Xu Huanshan's face was noticed by Tang Cheng, and he immediately grinned. "I know that your underground party has ways to solve this little problem, and for you, this kind of sudden action is also a kind of exercise. You have to be able to pull up to fight, and you have to be able to pull up to walk. There is one that can be used anytime and anywhere. The action team that carries out the battle will greatly improve your combat effectiveness."
What kind of person Tang Cheng was? Xu Huanshan had already conducted a private investigation when he was in Nanjing. Xu Huanshan knew a lot about the special operations team that had made a name for itself in a short period of time. It would undoubtedly be a good thing if the Shanghai underground party also had such a strong execution team.
