After breakfast the next day, the female agent of the Central Military Commission who was targeted by Tang Cheng's system skills left the Xinya Hotel, passed the Japanese checkpoint in Hongkou District, and entered the concession. Tang Cheng, who discovered that the female spy of the Central Government had not checked out, followed him quietly until he followed into the concession and found that the female spy of the Central Government had gone to the residence of the four-member team of the Central Government. Tang Cheng, who finally confirmed that he had been tricked by the Central Commander, felt a little depressed, but he could do nothing now.
Tang Cheng, who found that he could do nothing, could only swallow his bad breath silently. When the operation was over or he returned to Chongqing, Tang Cheng would definitely cause trouble for Zhongtong. After following this female agent of the Central Government throughout the morning, Tang Cheng gained nothing. At least he saw and confirmed at least six agents of the Central Government lurking in the concession. After lunch, he returned to Tangcheng of Xinya Hotel, hid in his room, and silently drew portraits of these Zhongtong agents. He had already thought of how to retaliate against these people at Zhongtong Shanghai Station.
"Where did you come to Shanghai to live? Do you want me to help you find a place to stay?" When I saw Hans again, it was already close to dinner time. Tang Cheng, who had been hiding in his room and painting portraits for several hours, now only felt He was so hungry that he could eat half a cow. Hans still cared about Tang Cheng as always, but what Tang Cheng saw in Hans's expression at this moment was not concern, but deep excitement and greed. Tang Cheng glared at Hans angrily. He still remembered that the last time Hans cared about him in this tone, he helped Hans get rid of a business rival in the concession.
Tang Cheng just glared at Hans but ignored him. When Hans saw this, he laughed out loud first. "Tang, I have a good business in hand. If you can help me solve a problem, I will give you 20% of it!" Hans said, regardless of whether Tang Cheng agreed to help, he opened the drawer of the table and removed it from the drawer. He took out a photo and handed it to Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng still didn't speak, but looked at the photo handed over by Hans expressionlessly, and found that the person in the photo was actually a foreigner with yellow hair.
"This man's name is Joseph. He appears to be a trader from the United States, but he is actually from the American intelligence agency. As far as I know, after coming to Shanghai, this man has not only been secretly contacting the Jews and White Russians living in Shanghai, but also He is still secretly contacting the Japanese! One of my informants found out some information about this matter through his channels!" He found that what he said seemed to arouse Tang Cheng's interest, and a proud smile appeared on his face. Hans continued without stopping.
"Joseph's purpose in contacting the Jews and White Russians is very simple. It is probably for the wealth in the hands of the Jews and White Russians. For these homeless people, if there is a country willing to help and accept them, they will definitely be willing to contribute. In exchange for his own property. But this Joseph secretly contacted the Japanese, and I couldn’t figure out his intentions. After all, the United States is now pursuing isolationism, and the U.S. government cannot openly express its support for Japan." Hans said. Finally, Tang Cheng's interest was aroused, especially the content about him facing the United States.
"Do you want me to kill this Joseph? Or just force him to leave Shanghai?" Tang Cheng pretended not to hear the meaning of Hans' words and just looked up at him. Hans didn't know that Tang Cheng had seen through his purpose. Seeing that Tang Cheng's expression didn't seem to be fake, he took out another piece of paper from the drawer of the table and pushed it in front of Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng saw that Hans just took out another piece of paper without explaining it. Tang Cheng, who was secretly surprised, did not ask further questions, but just looked down at the content on the paper.
"300,000 US dollars? Are you sure?" After quickly reading the contents on the piece of paper, Tang Cheng looked up at Hans who looked proud. $300,000, whether in later generations or now, is a lot of money. From the time Tang Cheng went south to Chongqing until now, he has confiscated a lot of traitor's property. If they were all put together, they probably wouldn't have that much money. "I can help you enough, but 20% is a bit low. Give me at least 40%, otherwise you can find someone else to help!"
Tang Cheng's words sounded like he was trying to raise the price. How could Hans be willing? The two immediately started arguing in the restaurant's office. After a fierce argument and Hans's arguments, Tangcheng agreed to set the share at 30%. "Okay! Just have fun!" Tang Cheng, who looked impatient, pointed at the proud Hans, and even more unreasonably accused him. "For such a large amount of money, you just provided a piece of information, but I did all the specific things. Isn't this too unfair?"
Faced with Tang Cheng's seemingly joking accusation, Hans was not angry. Instead, he burst out laughing because he felt that he had finally taken advantage of Tang Cheng. "Tang, you can't say that! Without the information I provided, how could you possibly know about this matter? Without the information I provided, how could you know that there was such a large amount of money? Without the information I provided, You also don’t know that this Joseph has the key to the bank safe!”
Hans spoke very quickly, and Tang Cheng, who was familiar with him, knew that this guy was really anxious. Seeing that Hans was getting anxious, Tang Cheng stopped teasing him and spoke seriously. "What you are saying now has not been confirmed. You and I don't know whether the money really exists! You just provided unconfirmed information and took away 70% of the benefits, and you are still plausibly saying so. , as if I’m here to take advantage of you, why have you become so thick-skinned now?”
Tang Cheng rolled his eyes at Hans angrily. When the latter heard this, he was already smiling. Based on his understanding of Tang Cheng, he knew that Tang Cheng was just joking with him. "Stop laughing now! You haven't told me yet, what do you want to do to this Joseph? Whether it's to kill or kidnap, you have to at least give me a hint!" This man named Joseph is involved in a lot of money with foreigners. A large amount of money of 300,000 US dollars, and Hans had already said that the key to the bank safe was still in Joseph's hands, so how could Hans allow Tang Cheng to kill Joseph directly.
It was obvious that Hans' idea of acquiring the money was no longer a matter of a day or two. Especially after he provided the specific information about Joseph's residence, Tangcheng began to despise Hans from the bottom of his heart. It is actually not very difficult to kidnap someone in Shanghai, but since Joseph is a foreigner and lives in the concession, this matter is a bit troublesome. However, for Tang Cheng, who has system skills, it is not difficult to kidnap Joseph. Even if this person lives in Hongkou District, Tang Cheng can still bring him out and hand him over to Hans.
After nightfall, according to the information provided by Hans, Tang Cheng, who was in a neat suit, went directly to a dance hall in the French Concession. Tonight, the American named Joseph would entertain several business partners in this dance hall. Tang Cheng arrived not too late, but the ballroom was already packed with people. Tang Cheng, who just wanted a glass of beer, secretly looked around the ballroom, looking for Joseph's location. After drinking half a glass of beer, Tangcheng had already found the American named Joseph. Like the photo provided by Hans, the American named Joseph looked more like a Mexican.
It is said that Mexico and Germany have a good relationship. Why does Hans have to deal with this guy named Joseph? Tangcheng, who has already discovered the target location, has no time to think about it at this time. It was obvious that this guy named Joseph was a generous person. Before Tang Cheng finished the glass of beer in his hand, he saw that this American named Joseph had already drank several glasses of whiskey one after another. Time passed by, and as time passed, Joseph and his several business partners became very drunk.
There were too many people in the dance hall, and there might even be Japanese spies hanging around here, so Tang Cheng did not choose to take action in the dance hall. After secretly observing the American named Joseph for a while, Tang Cheng turned around and left the dance hall after drinking his beer. After joining the two helpers sent by Hans, the three of them drove straight to Joseph's residence. According to the information provided by Hans, Joseph's family just returned to the United States by boat last month, and now he is alone in Shanghai.
Carefully avoiding the patrolling concession patrol, Tang Cheng sneaked into Joseph's residence alone. Joseph hasn't come back yet, and now there is only Tangcheng in this three-story building. Hans's request to capture Joseph alive was simply because he wanted to learn the whereabouts of the bank key from him. At first, Tang Cheng, who had system skills, didn't have to go to great lengths to kidnap Joseph. He only had to activate the system skills and ask Joseph questions about the bank key, and he would get the final answer.
Now that he was here, how could he leave empty-handed? Tang Cheng, who was wearing shoe covers, took advantage of Joseph not coming back yet and simply took a stroll in the small building. Although Tangcheng did not have the ability to find things and concealed spaces like the guys in the search team's logistics team, he often stayed with those guys and learned some methods of finding things and concealed spaces. After a cup of tea, Tang Cheng found the safe embedded in the wall behind the bookshelf in the study room on the second floor.
The safe in Joseph's study is the simplest in structure, although it requires double confirmation of the key and password to open the safe. But for Tang Cheng, who has a system, it is not too easy to open the safe embedded in the wall. Tang Cheng first took out all the contents of the carry-on equipment bag, and then used the collection function of the carry-on equipment bag to directly separate the door of the safe from the safe.
