The arrogance and conceitedness of the Special High School led them to misjudge the number of attackers. The instigator, Tang Cheng, was still hiding in the night, targeting the car. It is not an easy task to snatch a car in the concession in Shanghai. After all, those who can afford a car are either rich or expensive. Even the gangs entrenched in the concession will generally not fight in the concession. Sedan idea.
But Tang Cheng was not an ordinary person, and his idea of taking this car was not to keep it for himself, but to borrow it to transport Brian's body. Time passed by, and the driver in the cab of the car never got out of the car. He had guessed that the car parked outside the ballroom was here to pick someone up, so Tang Cheng would rather continue to wait than take action immediately. It's just that Tang Cheng's waiting has a limit. He can't just wait forever. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Cheng walked out of the dark place where he was hiding.
There were many pedestrians outside the dance hall. The car that Tang Cheng saw was parked on the left side of the dance hall door, and on the right side of the dance hall door, there were several rickshaw drivers waiting for work. After leaving the darkness, Tang Cheng did not walk straight towards the car. Instead, he crossed the street about ten meters away from the car. After being on the same side of the street as the car, Tang Cheng stopped on the side of the street. However, he only paused for a moment, then slowly followed the passers-by and strolled towards the car.
There is a big neon sign at the entrance of the dance hall, and the surrounding shops also have neon signs, so as long as Tangcheng is close to the car, there is no way to hide. But just after Tang Cheng took a few steps forward, a sudden wave of heart palpitations suddenly surged into Tang Cheng's heart. Tang Cheng, whose expression suddenly changed, immediately stopped and turned around without stopping and walked back. Tang Cheng had experienced this palpitating feeling before, and Tang Cheng never doubted his premonition.
Tang Cheng, who was crossing the street, was originally planning to hit the car, but his hunch told him that the car was untouchable. Sure enough, before Tang Cheng could turn around and walk back completely disappearing into the night, a commotion suddenly erupted from the dance hall behind him, and Tang Cheng also faintly heard a few gunshots. Something bad happened! Suddenly hearing what sounded like gunshots, Tang Cheng, who was walking smoothly at first, didn't care anymore. As he quickened his pace, he took out a pistol from his equipment bag and held it in his hand.
Accompanied by screams and shouts, the originally well-dressed dancers rushed out of the dance hall in panic, causing even greater commotion outside the dance hall. At this time, Tang Cheng had returned to the alley opposite the street. At this moment, he was standing sideways in the alley under the cover of the shadow, observing the situation on the other side of the street. A man in a suit, surrounded by two men who looked like bodyguards, also came out of the ballroom and got directly into the car that Tang Cheng had observed before.
A few minutes later, several concession patrol officers appeared at the door of the dance hall with striding steps. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Cheng immediately turned around and disappeared into the alley. I thought I was looking for a car, but I didn't want to get into trouble. As I walked to the other end of the alley, Tang Cheng secretly wondered if he was unlucky today. Tang Cheng's luck was actually not bad. He was lucky enough to avoid a trouble and quickly found a car on another street. The process of transporting the body was also very smooth. This made Tang Cheng secretly relieved. tone.
"Did you do what happened at the Kaile Ballroom last night?" When Tang Cheng saw Hans again the next day, Hans did not ask about the shoe store at the end of the street first. Instead, he went straight to the point and asked Tang Cheng Cheng asked about the Kaile Ballroom. Gloria Ballroom? Tang Cheng, who was stared at by Hans, didn't react for a moment. He said to himself that he had been to Shanghai several times, but he had never been to a place like a dance hall. But when he looked at Hans's expression, it didn't look like he was talking to him. joke.
Tang Cheng's daze made Hans realize immediately. It seemed that what happened at the Kaile Ballroom last night had nothing to do with Tang Cheng. "Last night, a shooting occurred at the Kailer Ballroom two streets away from here! I said on the inside line in the patrol room that the shooter was a young man. My first reaction was to think of you. But judging from your reaction yesterday, What happened at the Kaile Ballroom in the evening should have nothing to do with you." Hans' explanation made Tang Cheng dumbfounded. He knew that the question he just asked was simply deceiving him!
Hearing this, Tang Cheng immediately rolled his eyes at Hans, "If you have anything to ask me in the future, why not just say it directly! But we have to make one thing clear first. When did you see me going to the ballroom? You You think I'm a lonely old man like you!" Tang Cheng rolled his eyes just now, which didn't make Hans do anything, but his last words at this moment made Hans almost lose his breath, what is called The loneliness is unbearable for the old man!
"Tell me! Why did you come to me so early?" Hans seemed to have forgotten what Tang Cheng told him last night, and he put on a serious face. As he spoke, Hans suddenly remembered the matter he had entrusted to Tang Cheng last night. When he looked at Tang Cheng, his face was indifferent, and he did not appear angry because of his pretentiousness. Tang Cheng's dull reaction made Hans feel relieved. Looking at Tang Cheng's expression, Hans felt that the matter mentioned last night might have been resolved.
As Hans watched, Tang Cheng slowly stretched out his hand and made a gesture of counting money towards Hans. "You should rest assured when I do things! Unfortunately, the owner of the shoe store is too strict and I don't have much time, so I didn't get anything useful out of him. But he is indeed from the British intelligence agency. As for why the shoe store opened on this street, only the devil knows!" Tang Cheng didn't tell the truth at this moment. The information he copied from Brian's memory was still somewhat useful.
Knowing that the trouble had been resolved, Hans felt relieved. Having dealt with British intelligence agencies, he knew how difficult those British guys were to deal with. It's just that he didn't expect that Tangcheng would help him solve this problem in just one night. Thinking about it now, it's a bit incredible. The remuneration was agreed upon in advance, and he had already given half of it to Tang Cheng. Now that the problem had been resolved, Hans would naturally not withhold the remaining half of the remuneration without reason.
After getting another box of gold bars, Tangcheng, who had been busy for half the night, felt very satisfied. As for whether Brian's disappearance would trigger British action, he didn't care at all. "Hans, I came to you today to tell you that I may be returning to Chongqing in the next few days. I can give you full authority to handle our batch of medicines. After you get the money, you can send someone to me Just send it to Chongqing!" Tang Cheng originally planned to secretly hand over his own portion of the batch of medicines to the Military Command Shanghai Station or the Shanghai underground party organization.
But after careful consideration last night, Tang Cheng decided to give up this idea. If there was something wrong with the batch of medicines after he left Shanghai, Hans might be able to get information from the black market and discover the relationship between himself and the underground party. Relationships. What he can give to the Shanghai Underground Party is not just medicine. For example, the gold bars he got from Hans can also be secretly given to the Shanghai Underground Party so that they can use them to purchase medicines and supplies.
Tangcheng has begun to make arrangements to leave Shanghai. Zhang Jianghe, who is far away in Chongqing, is facing a trouble at this moment. To be precise, this trouble did not come from Chongqing, but from the military command headquarters in Wuhan. As the war has developed to the current situation, the upper echelons of the national government have concluded that Wuhan will soon become the main target of the Japanese attack. According to the current situation of the national army, Wuhan may not be able to hold on. Many upper-level people have privately transferred their assets and family members to Changsha and Chongqing, including senior command officials from the military command headquarters.
When Tangcheng was carrying out a crackdown in Chongqing, it intentionally set aside some properties in prime locations for Zhang Jianghe to prepare for the lack of housing for senior military commanders and some of Zhang Jianghe's old friends after the military headquarters moved to Chongqing. Before Tang Cheng left Chongqing, he specifically reminded Zhang Jianghe, but Zhang Jianghe didn't take it to heart at the time. Now it seems that if Tang Cheng hadn't made preparations in advance, the trouble might have been even greater.
The trouble Zhang Jianghe is currently facing is that someone is eyeing the Tang family's properties in Chongqing. To be precise, it is the small street that the Tang family occupies in Shapingba. The small street that the Tang family spent a lot of money to purchase has now become the central area of the surrounding neighborhoods after careful renovation. Just the rent from renting out all the shops in the small street is enough for the Tang family to live a long and prosperous life, which is also the main reason why they are targeted. Zhang Jianghe's home is also located in this small street. Naturally, he cannot just sit back and watch someone try to take over the small street.
In just one week, no less than 20 lobbyists came to Zhang Jianghe to inquire about the news. What really worries Zhang Jianghe is not what happened in the small street. An old acquaintance from the military command headquarters just sent a message to Tangcheng, saying that someone at the military command headquarters is talking about the bureau and wants Tang Cheng, who is stranded in Shanghai, to help Shanghai Station assassinate the Japanese army. An important goal in Shanghai. The current situation in Shanghai is complicated and confusing, and the Shanghai Station has been suppressed by the Special High School and dare not leave the concession. Under this situation, someone from the Military Command Headquarters asked Tang Cheng to carry out the assassination on behalf of the Shanghai Station. Zhang Jianghe knew that such a task would be almost impossible. It's the result of a narrow escape.
For public purposes, Tang Cheng was not directly under the military command, but for private purposes, Tang Cheng was Zhang Jianghe's nephew, and Tang Cheng's father was a martyr. Zhang Jianghe originally thought that the message sent to him by his old friend would not be approved by the bureau, but he did not expect that just one day later, his old friend from the Wuhan headquarters sent another message saying that the headquarters Bian has already passed this order. In other words, the bureau chief has already issued an order that cannot be changed. Tang Cheng must complete this assassination operation for Shanghai Station.
