Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Japanese people's appetite has become very big, and they are even more coveted for the fat meat of China. However, the Japanese are not self-aware. They know that while seeking to seize China, they must not offend those Western powers. It is for this reason that after the Japanese army took control of Shanghai, they did not take action against the concession. But the Japanese have made many arrangements in private, and many gangs in the concession are secretly accepting the benefits of the Japanese.
When you take advantage of others, you naturally have to do things for them. When Tang Cheng came to Shanghai for the first time, he knew that many gangsters in the concession were secretly doing things for the Japanese. The two men following Tang Cheng faintly at this moment looked like gang members. Tang Cheng, who had already discovered the abnormality, did not say anything or panic. He just couldn't figure out why the gang forces in the rental industry were targeting him.
He was thinking about something in his mind, but Tang Cheng did not slow down. After walking along the street for another ten meters, Tang Cheng suddenly entered a cafe on the street. There were not many customers in the cafe, but not many. Tang Cheng specially chose a seat where he could see what was going on outside through the street window and sat down. The two men in short shirts who were secretly following Tang Cheng saw Tang Cheng entering the cafe. Sure enough, they stopped across the street and looked furtively towards the cafe.
It’s really just for me! Tang Cheng picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, but his eyes were already filled with coldness. Through the street window of the cafe, Tang Cheng observed every move of the two people across the street. Seeing that the two had no intention of leaving, Tang Cheng, who smiled slightly, immediately paid and left the cafe. Seeing Tang Cheng come out of the cafe, the two men in short shirts across the street naturally followed Tang Cheng immediately.
Tang Cheng pretended not to know anything and wandered aimlessly in the French Concession with his two tails. After walking through two streets in a row, he couldn't help but murmur to himself when he saw the two men in short-sleeved shirts following him in Tangcheng, who would enter the street shops from time to time. "Third brother, have we got the wrong person? We have been following him for a few streets. If he was really a member of the military command, he should have discovered the two of us long ago, but I look at that kid as if he doesn't know anything. You look like you don’t know!”
Regarding the complaints from his companions, Wang San, who was slightly muscular, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The two of them would focus on Tangcheng because yesterday a Japanese came to the gang leader with a heavy gift and asked them to help search for new faces in the concession. Wang San and his companion went to the street early in the morning. It was already past noon, but they didn't find any suspicious faces. They would keep an eye on Tangcheng, but they just didn't want to be punished by the gang leader when they returned. As for whether Tangcheng, which they had targeted for a few streets, was suspicious, Wang San had no idea at all.
"We've been following him for such a long time. Why don't we follow him for a while longer? If we really don't find any problems, we'll go back!" Wang San, who was also helpless, had to persuade his companion patiently. Tang Cheng, who has not figured out the whole story at this moment, has no intention of starting a conflict with these two tails. For such a big thing as the collapse of the Japanese military police headquarters building, the Japanese will definitely find a few scapegoats. Tang Cheng does not want to become a Japanese scapegoat.
Time passed little by little, and soon another half hour passed. The two people who had followed Tangcheng all the way finally lost their patience and planned to withdraw. But at this moment, a bicycle suddenly rushed over from the direction of the street in front. The young man riding a bicycle quickly rushed into the street where Tangcheng was located. At the intersection behind him, several men in short shirts chased after him. These men in short shirts chased quickly while shouting and shouting. .
The scene he saw in front of him made Tang Cheng subconsciously lean against the street. Before he could figure out what was going on, he planned to just be a quiet bystander. Tang Cheng planned to stay out of the incident, but the two people who followed him were already ready to stop the bicycle because they had recognized that the people chasing the bicycle were brothers in the gang. Those being chased by their brothers were naturally their enemies, so the first reaction of Wang and San was to stop the oncoming bicycle.
"Get out of the way!" The young man riding the bicycle also saw Wang San and the other two standing on the street. Just by the way these two people were dressed, the young man riding the bicycle became cautious. The bicycle rushed towards Wang and San two people very fast, and the young man on the bicycle shouted loudly, but judging from the reaction of Wang and San, they did not seem to have any intention of dodging the bicycle. With a muffled sound of "Bang!", Wang San, who had been keeping calm, actually kicked over the speeding bicycle.
The young man riding the bicycle fell directly to the street, but his reaction was not slow. Before he could get up from the ground, his right hand had already drawn a pistol from the back of his waist. "Third brother, he has a gun!" Wang San's companion didn't have time to take action, but from where he stood, he could just see the young man pulling out a gun from behind. Wang San, who wanted to step forward and control the opponent, was stunned by his companion's shout. Then he reacted immediately and jumped directly from the street to behind his companion.
"Bang!" Wang San just jumped behind his companion and heard a gunshot. He had no intention of using his companion as a shield. He saw the companion standing in front of him suddenly raised his head and fell towards him. Come over. "Come on! Don't you want to catch me? Come on!" The young man who fell on the ground had already gotten up from the ground. He was holding a pistol in his right hand. Regardless of the pain after the arm was scratched, he went straight towards his legs. The trembling Wang San shouted loudly.
It is true that Wang San is a gang member, but he has not been a member of the gang for a long time. He usually just goes to the casino controlled by the gang to check out the scene, or he just relies on the strength of the crowd to fight with other small gangs. A small character like him who has not yet made his mark in the gang has no chance of getting access to a pistol, let alone killing people. His companion who was shot dead by a single shot fell in front of him. How could Wang San, who only played a small role, not be afraid?
Fortunately, the young man holding the gun at the moment was not a murderous person. Seeing Wang San who was stopping him, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. There were also young men pursuing him behind him, so he just turned around and helped up the man who fell to the ground. Bicycle, then left without looking back. The person being chased had a pistol on him. It was not only Wang San who was scared, but also the men in short shirts who were chasing him. Watching the young man ride away on his bike, several men in short-shirted shirts chasing him from the street corner yelled at each other to embolden themselves and rushed over.
When they rushed to Wang San, they naturally didn't mention what had scared them out of their wits just now. They just talked about Wang San's failure and why he didn't stop the desperate man they were chasing. Wang San was alone. No matter how he tried to defend himself, he could not defeat the other party. Wang San glanced down at his lifeless companion, struggling in his eyes. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already looking at Tang Cheng, who was still standing on the street more than ten meters away.
Wang San and the others came out in two people, but now one of them is dead. Wang San has no choice but to explain to his gang leader when he goes back. If he wants to pass the test, he has to find an unlucky guy to fill the gap. They followed Tangcheng for a few streets, and at first glance he looked like a kid from a wealthy family. Even if it turned out later that he was not the target they were looking for, at least they could take him back and report to the gang leader. Tang Cheng, who was still standing there without moving, did not want to stand here and watch the excitement. He was just wondering whether the young man riding the bicycle just now was a member of the underground party or the military.
Compared with the people under the military command, the Shanghai underground party members are much stricter in their work. At least the underground party members rarely carry guns with them when they go out on the streets, and they are even less likely to open fire in the street to attract more attention. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Cheng felt that the young man riding the bicycle might be someone from the Juntong Shanghai Station. When Tang Cheng came back to his senses, he found that the men in short shirts who were standing there just now were all looking towards him for some unknown reason.
When Tang Cheng saw this, he just curled his lips and turned around to leave. But what he didn't expect was that before he had gone far, he was stopped on the street by several men in short shirts who chased him from behind. "What do you want to do?" Tang Cheng, who was stopped abruptly, was not angry at first, but when he heard the leader of the men in short shirts saying that he wanted to go with them, Tang Cheng became really angry. .
Tang Chengxin said, you are specifically looking for people who are easy to bully to bully! The guy just now has a gun in his hand, you don’t dare to mess with him, maybe it’s because he’s looking at me and I’m easy to bully! Wang San, who was so frightened that he almost peed his pants just now, has now calmed down, and there are a few more brothers from the gang around him. Seeing Tang Cheng standing still and not speaking, Wang San became more and more energetic, and then reached out to grab Tang Cheng's neck, with the intention of taking Tang Cheng away by force.
Tang Cheng was not slow to react. When he saw Wang San reaching for his neck, Tang Cheng directly raised his arm, pushed Wang San's arm away with his elbow, and then took advantage of the situation to hit Wang San's left cheek hard. . Tang Cheng's move was full of power, but Wang San, who was not very skilled, was knocked over by Tang Cheng's move and fell right in front of Tang Cheng. "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know. If you dare to find trouble with me, I think you are all tired of living!"
Tang Cheng's attack was so fast that before the men in short shirts standing around him could react, Wang San had already fallen in front of Tang Cheng. When Tang Cheng screamed and stepped on Wang San's chest, they each took their stances and prepared to attack Tang Cheng. But Tang Cheng, who didn't want to speak, had already taken out a certificate from his pocket. The foreign code words and the bald eagle logo on the cover of the certificate made these men in short shirts afraid to take action.
