Boss Yu, who runs the tea house, is just an ordinary small businessman. If he wants to get acquainted with the famous Chinese businessmen in the concession, he must find other ways. When night falls, Shanghai's concessions transform into a modern world with lights, feasting, and greenery. Such prosperity is in sharp contrast to the other side of the Suzhou River. Before Boss Yu came into contact with the person in charge of the Chinese condolences group in the concession, Tang Cheng, who had already made almost all the preparations, finally started his second step.
Whether it is hiring a large number of foreign doctors in the concession through Hans, or contacting foreign merchant ships to transport the officers and soldiers of the lone army camp to leave Shanghai, this will cost a lot of money. When Tang Cheng left Chongqing, he didn't have much money with him, so he had to get as much money as possible before Hans gave an accurate reply. There are many rich people in the concession, including Chinese businessmen, foreign businessmen, and gangsters. But tonight, it is the Japanese businessmen who are targeted by Tang Cheng.
The Japanese army controlled Shanghai outside the concession, but due to pressure, the Japanese army promised that the Concession Industry Bureau would not send troops into the concession. In return, the normal operations of Japanese businessmen in the concession would also be protected by the Concession Industry Bureau. It was already after nightfall, and there were still many places covered by shadows in the bustling concession. Tang Cheng, dressed as an ordinary person, used these shadows to walk through the alleys of the concession.
Tangcheng's target tonight is a place called Guandong Trading Company. Just by hearing the name of this trading company, a discerning person will know that it is related to the Japanese. Thanks to the agreement between the Concession Industry Bureau and the Japanese Army in Shanghai, Guandong Trading Company's business in the concession has been good, and it has not yet encountered any attack from so-called patriots. Tang Cheng did not use Boss Yu's connections to inquire about the Kanto Trading Company. The name and address of the Kanto Trading Company were only accidentally heard by Tang Cheng when he was wandering around the black market.
I just heard it accidentally, and I didn't intend to investigate. Even if the matter got serious, it wouldn't involve Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who had already turned on the triple eyepiece, walked all the way. The dim visibility had no effect on him. On the contrary, the concession patrols who appeared from time to time were discovered in advance by Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the shadows, and avoided them one by one. After about an hour of dodging and running, Tang Cheng appeared at a T-junction. According to the route he had taken beforehand, as long as Tang Cheng turned left and walked not far away, he would be the location of Kanto Trading Company.
Tang Cheng lowered his head and looked at his watch. After confirming the time, he did not leave his current position immediately, but stood there and waited patiently. Tang Cheng has been to this place twice, staying for more than four hours each time to observe the situation. According to what he had observed twice before, in another quarter of an hour, the loyal manager of Kanto Trading Company would return to the trading company to work overtime to sort out the account books. Japanese people have long been accustomed to working overtime. At almost the same time as last night, the window on the second floor of Kanto Trading Company lit up again.
The light coming from the window made the corners of Tang Cheng's mouth curve. Whether tonight's operation goes smoothly will depend on the diligent manager of Kanto Trading Company. Seeing that the lights were on in the manager's office of Kanto Trading Company, Tang Cheng quickly left the place where he had been standing for almost half an hour. After giving way to two pedestrians, Tang Cheng, who was walking on the street, jumped up and reached up with his hands. He lived on top of the wall surrounding Kanto Trading Company.
Tang Cheng was already familiar with climbing over the wall. Before the two pedestrians who had not gone far heard the movement, Tang Cheng had already climbed into the wall. After his feet landed on the ground, Tang Cheng did not move immediately. Instead, he squatted under the wall to get a clear view of the situation inside the wall. After a few breaths, Tang Cheng immediately moved forward and soon appeared at the hedgerow in the courtyard. behind. This is just a trading company. Although the trading company also has guards, the number of guards is not large.
Through the gap in the hedgerow, Tang Cheng could clearly see the door of the small building of Guandong Trading Company. There were two sturdy guards smoking and chatting. Although it was hard to hear what they said, but from the faces of the two men, Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that the two guards were not talking about anything serious. Tangcheng already knew in advance that the two-story building of Kanto Trading Company did not have a back door to use, and the architectural style of the building was obviously Western style, so there should be no flying claws to use on the sloping roof. place.
The only way to enter the small building was through the front door. Tang Cheng, who was squatting behind the hedgerow, suddenly realized that the only option left for him was to force his way out. Just thinking about it casually, Tang Cheng reached out to pick up a stone from the ground and threw it into the open space on the left side of the main entrance of the small building. The stone is not big, but when it falls on the open space paved with stone slabs, it makes a sound. The two guards standing smoking at the main entrance of the small building looked very relaxed, but they did not react slowly when they heard the noise.
Hearing the sound on the left, the two guards turned their heads and looked to the left. One of them had already turned on the flashlight, trying to find the source of the sound. At this time, Tang Cheng suddenly stood up and jumped out from the fence. After rolling on the ground, he immediately bounced up and rushed towards the main entrance of the small building. Tang Cheng's suddenness was too sudden, and no matter whether he jumped over the fence or stood up and jumped forward, he didn't make much noise. By the time the two guards saw Tang Cheng, there was not enough time left for them.
"Poof!" Tang Cheng, who touched the ground with his left foot, spun around, and a flash of light flashed across the neck of one of the guards. Before the blood arrow could spurt out from the knife edge on the guard's neck, Tang Cheng, who landed with his right foot later, The city horse took a sideways step, and at the same time he bent his left elbow and pushed forward, hitting the other guard's throat hard with his elbow. Tang Cheng appeared suddenly and moved very quickly. Just by looking at each other, the two guards fell down one after another.
Tang Cheng, who had succeeded in one blow, did not relax. Instead, he swung his sword again, killing the two obviously Japanese guards with one blow each, and sent them back to their hometown in Japan. Tang Cheng didn't want to kill anyone, but when he saw the Japanese, he couldn't bear it, because the prerequisite for the system lottery was to capture or kill the Japanese. After all, this was his first time here. Tang Cheng didn't know if there were any other guards in the yard of Guandong Trading Company, so the two corpses could only be hidden behind the hedgerow.
In fact, Tangcheng over-considered the strength of the Kanto Trading Company's protection. With the strong expansion of the Japanese army and the success of the war, the Japanese in China are now becoming more arrogant. In particular, Guandong Trading Company is still in the concession. According to the nature of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the concession, people in Guandong Trading Company do not think that anyone in the concession will be detrimental to their trading company. The entire Kanto Trading Company was arrogant and arrogant, but they happened to encounter Tang Cheng. After discovering that there were only these two Japanese guards in the entire Kanto Trading Company, Tang Cheng, who had a faint smell of blood on his body, entered the small building boldly and confidently.
After entering the small building, Tang Cheng discovered that every door in the Japanese trading company had a nameplate. Just by looking at the nameplate on the door, he would know what the room behind the door was for. Tang Cheng went up the stairs. His target tonight was just the manager of this Japanese trading company. According to Japanese people's habits, the trading company's funds would only be controlled by the manager. The lights in the corridor looked a little dim, but this did not affect Tang Cheng's progress. Soon, he was standing outside the door of the manager's office.
Tang Cheng, who was standing at the door, thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to hold the door handle, pressed it down and then pushed it gently inward. The door of the manager's room was opened by Tang Cheng. "Get out... who... are you?" I thought the person who opened the door was the ronin guard hired by the trading company. After looking up with an angry look on his face, Yokozu Ichiro, the manager of the Shanghai branch of the Kanto Trading Company, stiffened his expression because from the door The person who came in actually covered his face with a black cloth. "You...what do you want to do, I warn you, Kanto Trading Company is the property of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan..."
Before Yokozu Ichiro finished speaking, Tang Cheng, whose face was covered with black cloth, swung a knife and opened a large hole in the chest of his suit jacket. "I'm just here to ask for money. If you give me money, I'll leave." Just out of bad taste, Tang Cheng covered his face with a black cloth and pretended to be a robber before entering. However, Tang Cheng did not expect that his little The bad taste seems to be very effective, at least the manager of Kanto Trading Company was very frightened by him.
Yokozu Ichiro loves money, but he also cherishes his life. Although Tang Cheng’s knife just now did not cut through Yokozu Ichiro’s flesh, the faint smell of blood on Tang Cheng’s body and his unobtrusive demeanor made Yokozu Ichiro believe in the two men hired by the trading company. A guard may have encountered something unexpected. Yokozu Ichiro, who did not want to follow in his footsteps, was very cooperative. Under the pressure of Tang Cheng's short knife, Yokozu Ichiro not only took the initiative to hand over the cash in the desk drawer, but also took out the key and opened the safe hidden in the office closet. .
"Boom!" Yokozu Ichiro made a crisp sound after his head collided with the wall. Before Yokozu Ichiro's eyes turned white and he fell to the floor, Tang Cheng's eyes were all focused on the safe that had been opened. This safe, which does not look very big, is divided into two floors. The upper floor is stacked with some documents and files, while the floor below the safe is filled with oceans of gold bars and several bundles of dollars and pounds.
Tang Cheng didn't have time to carefully count how much money was in the safe. He just put the ocean and gold bars that would make a sound after the collision into his carry-on equipment bag, and then took out a leather bag that could be carried cross-body and put the safe in it. Put away all the foreign currency notes in the cabinet. After emptying all the money in the safe, Tang Cheng had no intention of leaving behind those documents and files. After looking through them, Tang Cheng put some of the files that were somewhat useful into his backpack.
