A drizzle before dinner dissipated a lot of the heat in the air. Walking in the concession, Tangcheng seemed to be casually blending in with the crowd, but at the same time he was alertly paying attention to the surrounding situation. Compared with the last time Tangcheng left Shanghai, the Shanghai Concession now seems a lot more depressed. Although the flow of people in the Concession has not decreased, most people are in a hurry. It has been two days since Tang Cheng arrived in Shanghai. During these two days, Tang Cheng did not contact anyone at the Zhongtong Shanghai Station. He just secretly observed the four-person team prepared for him by the Zhongtong Shanghai Station.
Tang Cheng never dared to tell others the secret of the system, so he preferred to act alone. However, after coming to Shanghai, Tang Cheng suddenly changed his previous decision. Zhongtong designed himself for no reason, so he must make good use of Zhongtong, otherwise he would not be able to swallow his evil spirit. Carefully avoiding a small puddle on the ground, he had already reached Tangcheng at the intersection of the street. He suddenly turned around and went into a shoe store on the street.
Tang Cheng suddenly turned around on the street because there happened to be a member of the Zhongtong Action Team among the oncoming crowd. Two consecutive days of secret observation had already made him remember every member of the four-person team. face. Tang Cheng didn't know if anyone in Zhongtong's group of four knew him or had seen his photo. Tang Cheng, who didn't want to ruin the mission because of something going wrong on Zhongtong's side, just planned to observe these four people secretly. Anyway, there was still a week before the real mission started.
The purpose of Zhongtong's transfer of Tang Cheng to Shanghai this time was to ask Tang Cheng to help Zhongtong's Shanghai Station assassinate a senior intelligence officer affiliated with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although Section Chief Xie did not say so clearly when delivering the relevant information to Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng guessed that this Ministry of Foreign Affairs intelligence agent who came to Shanghai from Tianjin a few days later should have mastered important information related to the Central Unification. This assassination mission, at the request of Tang Cheng, went out of the way and filed a record with the military commander. If the mission failed, Tang Cheng did not have to worry about the military commander causing trouble for him.
Tang Cheng had made preparations in advance to avoid any possible responsibility for the failure of his mission. Therefore, if the Zhongtong wanted to use this matter to cause trouble for Tang Cheng, he could only solve it in Shanghai. This is why Tang Cheng has already arrived in Shanghai, but has been delayed. The reason for not joining that four-person group. The young woman who walked across from Tang Cheng did not see Tang Cheng. When Tang Cheng went into the shoe store to choose shoes, the young woman was walking past the door of the shoe store without squinting. .
After confirming that the young woman had walked over, Tang Cheng did not leave the shoe store immediately. Instead, he paid for a pair of calfskin shoes. Then he walked out of the shoe store slowly with the newly purchased shoes. The young woman who had already walked through the shoe store didn't know that just when she walked through the door of the shoe store, Tang Cheng had already locked her with system skills, so as long as the straight-line distance between her and Tang Cheng did not exceed One hundred meters away, there is no way to escape Tang Cheng's pursuit.
Following the system skill prompts, Tang Cheng, who was following a middle-aged couple, easily spotted the young woman not far ahead. Tang Cheng followed the other party through two consecutive street intersections, then looked at the young woman and walked into a trading house on the street. Tang Cheng, who was among the passers-by, did not look around. When he passed the entrance of the trading house, he quickly glanced inside the trading house with the corner of his eye.
The young woman is not in the lobby of the trading house, and the system prompts that the target locked by the skill is still moving. Tang Cheng walked silently through the trading house with his shoes, and chose to enter the cafe in front to wait. He wanted to know how long this young woman could stay in this trading house. After Tang Cheng entered the cafe, he ordered a cup of coffee and a newspaper, and then quietly waited for the target to appear again.
Half an hour later, Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the cafe, looked puzzled because according to the system prompts, the young woman who entered the trading house did not seem to have moved her position. Could this trading house be a secret stronghold of the Central Government in the concession? Tang Cheng couldn't help but have a question in his heart! People were coming and going on the street outside the cafe, but Tang Cheng was in an extremely bad mood, because he had already seen the young woman walking out of the trading house, but the man in a suit walking beside her was a foreigner. The Japanese with the nendanhu.
Rendanhu is almost the standard equipment of the Japanese in the Japanese-controlled area. Although the Japanese army in Shanghai is not yet able to fully control the entire Shanghai, the Concession Industry Bureau has already been soft on the Japanese army. Tang Cheng's eyes narrowed when he saw this scene. He did not react immediately. He just looked at Rendanhu man with a calm face through the street window of the cafe. Tang Cheng did not use insight skills to confirm the identity of the Rendanhu man. He would be in danger at all times in Shanghai, so the use of system skills should be done with caution.
Although the two people who came out of the trading house did not talk to each other, when they walked down the steps of the trading house and turned their heads at the same time and their eyes met, Tang Cheng, who had already activated the triple eyepiece skill, had already seen it in their eyes. tacit agreement. The two people who walked down the steps outside the trading house looked into each other's eyes and then walked away from each other, one to the left and the other to the right. Seeing this, Tang Cheng took out two bills from his pocket and threw them on the table. He immediately left the cafe and followed the man Rendanhu.
There was something 100% wrong with this person. Tang Cheng was not completely sure that this Rendanhu man was a Japanese spy, so he chose to follow him. Unlike the young woman who was followed by Tang Cheng before, the man Rendanhu who was being followed by Tang Cheng at this moment was not wandering around aimlessly. Instead, after walking through the intersection in front of him, he got into the parked car parked on the street. in a black car. Out of caution, Tang Cheng did not follow very closely, so at this moment he only saw the target getting into the car on the street, but could not see what was going on inside the car.
Feeling helpless, Tang Cheng could only subconsciously slow down his movement, and then watched the car leave with a look of helplessness. Tang Cheng really wanted to use system skills to lock the Rendanhu man, but if he used system skills to lock the opponent at this moment, he must first unlock the young woman. Fortunately, Tang Cheng had not forgotten the purpose of coming to Shanghai, so he did not choose to release the lock on the young woman, because the young woman was more useful to Tang Cheng.
Rendanhu left in a car, and Tang Cheng, who was only on foot, could not catch up, so he could only go back the same way and continue to follow the young woman. Like the Rendanhu man, the young woman did not realize that she was being followed, and Tang Cheng followed her all the way back to where the group of four ended up in the French Concession. The four-person team of Zhongtong lived in an apartment building in the French Concession. They confirmed that the young woman was preparing to return to the apartment building in Tangcheng. They detoured to the back of the apartment building first. When the other party entered the apartment building, Tangcheng He had already used the light body skill, followed the rope under the flying claw, and sneaked into the apartment building silently.
The footsteps of the young woman helped Tang Cheng identify the specific location. Tang Cheng, who clearly heard the sound of the door closing, quietly leaned out from the end of the corridor. The young woman had returned to her residence. Tang Cheng appeared from the end of the corridor, tiptoed into the corridor, and confirmed the location of the four-person group's residence according to the location where she heard the footsteps disappear. The apartment door has good sound insulation. Tang Cheng, who was close to the door panel, didn't hear the sound in the room.
After two consecutive days of surveillance and tracking, it was finally possible to confirm where the other party gathered. Tang Cheng originally planned to break in directly. But just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly changed his decision and left the apartment building along the same route. Tang Cheng's purpose in coming to Shanghai was very simple, just to help Zhongtong assassinate a senior intelligence agent of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai based on the intelligence provided by Zhongtong. If Tangcheng does not want to be entangled by Zhongtong, the best way to deal with it is to go alone.
Tang Cheng left the apartment building without looking back. Instead of wasting time on this group of four, Tang Cheng thought it would be better to take advantage of the ample time to visit Hans, an old friend. Hans's restaurant was still in its original location, and the business seemed to be good. However, after not seeing Hans for a few days, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that his old friend seemed to have gained a lot of weight. Hans also did not expect that he would suddenly see Tangcheng. Hans, who was so excited, immediately realized that Tangcheng's sudden appearance in Shanghai must be with a mission.
"Don, are my wife and children okay?" In the office behind the restaurant, Hans first threw a cigar to Tang Cheng, and then began to ask about his family. When Hans's family left Shanghai with Tangcheng, Hans, who was worried that communicating with his family would reveal his whereabouts, repeatedly told his wife not to write to him. Now that he has seen Tangcheng, Hans naturally wants to ask about his family first, because it is very important to him.
Tang Cheng, who was holding a lighter and preparing to light a cigar, glared at Hans angrily. After slowly lighting the cigar, Tang Cheng spoke under Hans' expectant gaze. "Don't worry, your family is very good and safe! I arranged for them to live on the same street as mine. Your wife is now the German teacher of my two younger sisters! Your eldest daughter is my eldest sister's good friend. They often go shopping together. As for your two sons, they are learning martial arts from my second brother."
Tang Cheng held a cigar in his mouth and briefly talked about the situation of Hans's family. Looking at Hans's expression, there was a hint of longing among the relief. "Tang, thank you! Thank you for helping me take care of my family!" After calming down a little, Hans thanked Tang Cheng, but he did not forget to ask about Tang Cheng's purpose. "You come to me, do you need help? If so, as long as I can do it, just ask!"
