After attacking the plainclothes agents of the Special High School in the concession twice in one day, and succeeding both times, Tang Cheng naturally felt a little complacent. But he didn't expect that Shanghai now is different from the Shanghai he had been to before. The Japanese were becoming more and more powerful in Shanghai. Not only the Ministry of Industry and Patrol Bureau of the Concession did not dare to offend the Japanese, but also the various people who were in the Shanghai Concession. The road gangs also did not dare to offend the Japanese, especially since most of them were secretly working for the Special High School.
The Japanese are very cunning. They know that military oppression alone may not be able to control the entire Shanghai, especially now that Japan cannot openly be enemies with European and American countries. But on the other hand, the Japanese must not make any pretense in the Shanghai they control, and the concession, which is an existence that is outside their control. Therefore, the gangsters in the concession have become the first choice of the Japanese. Some time ago, the Shanghai Special High School launched a roundup on the Shanghai Station of Military Reunion and achieved considerable results. Among them, the gangsters in the concession played a big role.
Following the order of Koyama Matsumoto, Shanghai Special High School immediately secretly contacted the concession gangsters. When Tang Cheng fell asleep in the hotel, the concession gangsters who had received the order had already launched an investigation in the concession. Most of these concession gangsters who secretly worked for the Japanese were locals in Shanghai and were far more familiar with the situation in Shanghai than the Japanese. Moreover, these gangsters in the concession have their own areas of influence. It is impossible to investigate the entire concession, but it is very easy to just investigate their respective areas of influence.
Tang Cheng, who was complacent in his heart, didn't know about this, so when he was woken up by a noise in the early morning, he didn't know that danger was approaching him. In the guest room, Tang Cheng was awakened by the noise outside the door. Fortunately, he had been careful since arriving in Shanghai. So after being woken up, his first reaction was not to go to the door and listen. Instead, after getting out of bed, he walked to the window and looked at the situation outside the hotel through the gaps in the curtains.
After all, the gang is not an intelligence agency like the Special High School. People like them can survive in Shanghai only by sticking together and being ruthless. So when Tang Cheng stood sideways in front of the window and looked out through the gap in the curtains, he immediately noticed a few strong men in shorts standing on the street outside the hotel. Not someone from a special higher education course! Tang Cheng, who was standing by the window, immediately realized that the plainclothes agents of the Special High School would not wear a short knife in his waist openly.
Tang Cheng, who was now completely awake, turned back to the bed to put on his clothes and shoes, and then pulled out the pistol from under the pillow. Tang Cheng, who was ready, walked lightly behind the door, leaned against the door, and listened carefully to the movements in the corridor outside the door. In about ten breaths, there was a knock on the door of the room where Tang Cheng was located from outside. Tang Cheng, who was standing behind the door, remained motionless. He just listened quietly to the voices outside the door. He faintly heard the clang of keys outside the door. Tang Cheng, who had been standing behind the door, took a step back. At the same time, hold the pistol level.
Tang Cheng pointed his gun straight at the door. He secretly adjusted his breathing and waited for the person outside to open the door with a key. Just two breaths later, Tang Cheng, who was ready to fight, heard the sound of a key being pushed into the keyhole, then the door lock turned, and the door handle also twisted. "Click!" There was a soft sound. After the door handle was slowly pressed down, the door was pushed open from the outside. Tang Cheng saw a leg and an arm first.
The person who opened the door with the key was the hotel manager, and the two people following him were members of the gang in the concession. Tang Cheng, who was originally planning to shoot as soon as he opened the door, changed his decision in an instant. Then he dodged, stretched out his left hand, grabbed the hotel manager's arm and rushed into the room. Relying on the inertia of relative strength, Tang Cheng, who had dodged past the hotel manager, had already moved to the door. Before the two people outside the door could react, the muzzle of the gun in Tang Cheng's right hand was pressed against one of them's head.
"Poof!" There was a soft sound, and the bullet shot out from the muzzle of the gun with the silencer installed, and went straight into the target's head. Tang Cheng, who succeeded in the attack, did not slow down, but turned around again, aiming his gun at the other person outside the door again. The target who was shot in the head fell backwards, and the other man in short clothes who was pointed at the gun had just time to widen his eyes when Tang Cheng fired another shot and fell to the door.
Tang Cheng started too fast, and after firing two shots at two men in short clothes, he vigorously pulled the hotel manager closer to the room, and then he fell heavily to the ground. By the time the dizzy hotel owner got up from the floor in shock, Tang Cheng had already disappeared, leaving only two bodies at the door. Although he didn't know why these gangsters came to his door, Tang Cheng knew that he was afraid that he would no longer be able to live here, so leaving was his only choice.
The hotel that Tang Cheng stayed in had a total of three floors, and his room was on the second floor. However, Tang Cheng, who disappeared at the end of the corridor, did not go down the stairs, but turned around and went up the stairs to the third floor. With light but slow steps, Tang Cheng climbed up to the third floor. He quickly followed the ladder at the end of the corridor and climbed to the roof of the hotel where sheets and bedding were usually dried. Standing on the edge of the roof and looking down, he saw that the men in short clothes on the street outside the hotel had not dispersed. Tang Cheng, who was grinning secretly, immediately chose another direction and activated his light body skills to quickly slide down the rope.
After leaving the hotel, Tang Cheng didn't bother to find trouble with those gang members. He just walked quickly and soon appeared in an alley two streets away from the hotel. Rabbits all know how to prepare more nests and exits. When they come to Tangcheng, a troubled place like Shanghai, how could they not prepare more escape routes? In this alley, Tangcheng, who had just arrived in Shanghai on his first day, had already chosen a place to hide here.
Not long after Tang Cheng left the hotel, the gang members who had been lingering outside the hotel swarmed into the hotel because of the hotel manager's shout. It was a pity that they only saw the bodies of the two companions and the hotel manager who looked a little crazy due to extreme fear. When Tangcheng started, the lights were not turned on in the room, so the hotel manager, the only survivor at the scene, did not reveal any useful information after he regained his composure.
This group of gangsters got lucky and lost two lives in vain, but gained nothing. The only thing they knew was Tang Cheng's disguised appearance and a fake name. But even so, the Shanghai Special Higher Education School was still overjoyed. After all, in their view, this could be regarded as catching the trace of the ghost gunman. After a night in the concession, many people were talking about what happened at the MGM Ballroom last night. Tang Cheng, who had changed his costume and disguise, mingled with the crowd as if nothing had happened, listening to the comments of passers-by.
Compared with the concession before yesterday, in today's concession, there are more gang members with grim faces on many streets and intersections. These gang members stare at every passerby who passes them. If they feel something is amiss, they will surround passers-by, pull them to the street and question them in a low voice with evil looks on their faces. Tang Cheng, who was dressed as a kid from a rich family, was obviously not among the suspects. After all, Tang Cheng looked tender and did not look like he was being secretly hunted by the special education class.
It seems we can no longer stay in the concession! The strange things in the concession made Tang Cheng even more secretly cautious. After thinking secretly in his mind, Tang Cheng decided to go to Hongkou District first. The two fake documents he had used before had never been seen through by the Japanese. With this in mind, Tang Cheng decided to go to Hongkou District to find a place to live. However, before he could leave the French Concession, he suddenly heard gunshots on the street. Only a hundred meters away from Tangcheng, a middle-aged man wearing a long shirt was running towards this direction quickly, chasing a dozen men in short clothes behind him.
Tangcheng, who originally planned to save the number of uses of Insight Technique until dark, turned on the Insight Technique subconsciously at this time. Sure enough, this man in a long gown running towards him was none other than the Shanghai Underground Party. The men in short clothes who were chasing him were all plainclothes spies from the Shanghai Extra High School. Tang Cheng turned his right hand and took out a black scarf from his equipment bag.
Standing on the street, he turned around again, and the black scarf he took out from his equipment bag was already covered by Tang Cheng's face. The plainclothes men from the Special High School who were chasing the man in the long gown obviously wanted to catch him alive, so they fired just to drive away the intrusive passers-by, but they did not shoot at the man in the long gown who was running slower and slower. There was a distance of tens of meters. After Tang Cheng took out the black scarf and turned around to cover his face, the two chasing parties were already very close to Tang Cheng.
"Keep running forward and take the alley on the left!" When almost all the passers-by in the street screamed and ran away, only Tang Cheng, who was facing the shops on the street, stood still. When the man in the long gown was still more than ten meters away from Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, who had been standing on the side of the street, suddenly turned around and pointed the muzzle of the gun raised in his hand at the pursuers behind the man in the long gown. After firing two consecutive shots, Tang Cheng gave way to the man in a long gown with a shocked look on his face, but the gun barrel in his hand kept spitting out bullets.
Tang Cheng suddenly took action with his face covered, and the man in the long gown who was lucky enough to be saved was also full of surprises and doubts. He didn't know if Tang Cheng was one of his own, but when he was thinking about this, the man in the long gown who passed by Tang Cheng just felt deeply. He glanced at Tang Cheng and then ran towards the alley that Tang Cheng mentioned. Tang Cheng had the advantage of firing first. Even though he was fighting against many, Tang Cheng was able to suppress the pursuers regardless of the speed of fire or accuracy.
