Damn, is this a hornet's nest? Tang Cheng, who was slightly out of breath, rushed across the street in front of him. About 20 meters behind him, several men in short shirts were chasing after him. At this moment, Tang Cheng had to admit that he had indeed underestimated these humble gang members. After successive attacks on the plainclothesmen of the Special High School, Tang Cheng wanted to temporarily cease his activities and hide in Xi'an, but he did not expect that gang members from the concession would soon find him.

Tang Cheng thought it was just an accident at first, but he continued to change positions, but still could not escape the gang members' pursuit. Tang Cheng, who had been chased all the time, had no time to buy clothes and shoes for dressing up, so he could only keep running. Tang Cheng, who was crossing the street, ignored the passers-by who were hit by him. After running for more than 20 meters, he turned around and got into the alley on the street. The few gang members who had just run to the street corner saw Tang Cheng, who was being chased by them, get into the alley on the side of the street, and they immediately separated and walked to the left side of the street.

Tang Cheng, who had already gotten into the alley, could not care about other things. He ran straight along the street and soon appeared in the next street from another exit of the alley. Looking around, Tang Cheng didn't see any clothing stores or insoles in this street, so he could only continue walking east and then dive into the next alley. In a short time, the gang members captured from the alley also appeared in this street.

They couldn't see Tang Cheng, so they didn't panic. Instead, they pulled over a street vendor and asked in a low voice. How could these street vendors who were hanging out in the joints dare to offend the people in these gangs? After hearing the questions from the other party, they immediately pointed in the direction of Tangcheng. The gang members who got the clues left one person here, and the rest immediately followed them into the alley in front. After passing through two alleys in a row in Tangcheng, he suddenly realized that he had arrived at the street where the German trading house was located.

Tang Cheng had purchased explosives from this German trading company before, but at this moment he was a little hesitant. He was hesitating whether he needed to rescue this German trading company. To be honest, Tang Cheng has always had a bad impression of foreigners. Even when facing Hans, Tang Cheng always retained a trace of vigilance. Moreover, he only had business dealings with this German trading house. Even with Hans' introduction, Tang Cheng could not guarantee whether this German trading house would betray him to the Japanese for profit.

After some hesitation, Tang Cheng simply turned around and left the street. What he needed to do most now was to get some clothes and shoes that fit him. Unexpectedly, when Tang Cheng reached the intersection, he saw gang members appearing in the street opposite. He could only turn around and go to the street on the left side of the intersection. Fortunately, there is a British tailor shop in this street. Because the Japanese army is currently conducting a conquest of South Asia, the British people still in Shanghai are generally not in a good situation.

It happened that in this tailor shop, several sets of suits that had been reserved were not taken away, or the customers broke the contract. Tang Cheng paid twice as much and finally bought one of the customized suits. Seeing that Tang Cheng had paid more, the arrogant shopkeeper finally agreed to let Tang Cheng borrow the toilet behind the tailor shop. Tang Cheng, who put on a new suit, simply put on a facial disguise in the toilet in the backyard of the tailor shop, and then walked out of the tailor shop with a swagger under the suspicious eyes of the tailor shop owner.

Tang Cheng, who had changed his attire and disguised his face, deliberately changed his walking posture after leaving the tailor shop. It would be impossible for someone who was not very familiar with him to recognize Tang Cheng at a glance. In order to better paralyze the gang members who were chasing him, Tang Cheng also went to the bakery near the street entrance and bought some bread and biscuits. When he crossed the street and saw the gang members again, the other party's scrutinizing eyes only glanced over Tang Cheng, but did not stare at Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked through the street without squinting, and soon passed by the next wave of gang members. After walking face to face with two groups of gang members in succession, neither of them recognized him. Now Tang Cheng really believed that he was out of danger. However, Tang Cheng did not relax. He quickly walked into a shoe store and a clothing store and bought himself a new outfit. No wonder the Juntong Shanghai Station has been unable to start its work. If you want to be an agent, you need sufficient funds to support it!

Tang Cheng, carrying new clothes and shoes, was about to turn into the street and alley, but he still didn't forget to complain in his heart. Being distracted in an environment surrounded by enemies is actually a very dangerous thing, but Tang Cheng was a little lucky this time. Because of Tang Cheng's complaints and distraction, he was almost at the entrance of the alley, but subconsciously slowed down for a moment when he heard someone talking in the alley. Tang Cheng, who had already raised his right foot, felt a flash in his heart, then forcibly changed the landing point of his right foot and walked directly through the alleyway carrying his things.

The moment he walked through the alley, Tang Cheng, who was carrying something, seemed to be looking intently, but in fact, he had already used the corner of his eye to quickly glance at the situation in the alley. There were several men in short clothes standing in the alley smoking cigarettes. Tang Cheng didn't know who was speaking just now, but Tang Cheng saw a dagger from the waist of a man with his front open. People who carry daggers in the concession openly are most likely to be members of gangs. With so many gang members hiding here, Tang Cheng doesn't even have to think carefully to figure out what's going on.

Tang Cheng, who had already passed the alley, was secretly glad at this moment. Fortunately, he had not turned directly into the alley just now, otherwise he would have become the target of being chased again. But if you can't enter this hidden alley, where can you go to change your clothes? Suddenly, Tang Cheng seemed to be in a corner, hesitation appeared on his face. However, the hesitation on Tang Cheng's face quickly disappeared. The concession is so big that you can't go into the alleys. You can always enter cafes with toilets, right?

Tang Cheng's footsteps became brisk as his thoughts suddenly became clear. However, the sudden appearance of the plainclothes agent in his sight made Tang Cheng very off-putting. Now pursuing Tangcheng are not only the gang members in the ranks, but also plainclothes agents from the Special High School and No. 76. These plainclothes men, who swaggered around with pistols in their waistbands, just took a pen and wrote the word spy on their foreheads, for fear that others would not know their identities.

Like other passers-by on the street, when they saw Tang Cheng in plain clothes, he also carried his own things and walked carefully on the street. Plainclothes men scattered on both sides of the street carefully scanned everyone walking through the street, including Tang Cheng. It's just that Tangcheng gave them the feeling that they were just the children of a wealthy family. They didn't associate Tangcheng at this moment with the target they were chasing. After walking out of this street without any danger, Tangcheng encountered several waves of plainclothes and gang members, but none of them showed their flaws.

Just when Tang Cheng was approaching the foreign residential area, he once again encountered a wave of plainclothes people secretly observing passers-by. This time, Tang Cheng was not so lucky. For some unknown reason, one of the tall plainclothes men had been paying attention to the seemingly harmless Tang Cheng. This guy stared at Tang Cheng for a while, and finally pointed at Tang Cheng and shouted, "You, stop! Take out your ID!" The other party had already pointed at him, and Tang Cheng, who had been walking on the street, couldn't pretend He didn't see it, so he could only stop where he was.

The street that Tang Cheng is currently on is not very long, but there are no side roads or alleys in this street. Even if Tang Cheng wants to create chaos and take the opportunity to leave, it may not be that easy. The plainclothes man pointed at Tang Cheng. When he saw Tang Cheng stop obediently, a trace of pride appeared on his expression, and he immediately raised his legs and walked towards Tang Cheng. In just a dozen breaths, Tang Cheng had already quickly deduced in his mind. When the plainclothes agent walked up to him, he pretended to reach into his pocket to get his ID, but he directly pulled out a pistol. Come.

"Bang!" With the sound of a gunshot, the plainclothes agent standing in front of Tang Cheng fell to the ground as soon as his body went limp. Taking advantage of the moment when the other plainclothesmen had not reacted, Tang Cheng took the things in his hands, stepped back, and entered the shop behind him. "Get out, if you don't want to die, get out!" Tang Cheng rushed into the shop behind him, waved his pistol at the people in the shop, and drove them all out of the shop.

Tang Cheng let the people in the shop go, not because he didn't want to hurt innocent people. In fact, he just needed a place where he could change clothes again. The other plainclothes agents outside the store did not know Tang Cheng's plan. When they saw people rushing out of the store one after another, these plainclothes agents immediately took out their pistols and stopped the people rushing out of the store first. When they found out that the gunman was the only one left in the store, the plainclothes men breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter who they are, when faced with the choice between life and death, most people will choose to continue living, and the same is true for these plainclothes. They have already paid the price of one person's death to block a suspected target here, which is a credit in itself, so they can't afford to risk their own lives. The few plainclothes men who were blocking the store immediately sent one of them to make a phone call. As soon as reinforcements arrived, the gunman who was blocked in the store would be captured without any help.

Tang Cheng, who was in the store at the moment, could not see any panic. As soon as he entered the store, he found that the store did not have a back door. At this moment, he was quickly pasting several newspapers soaked in water on the street window of the store. . Then he pushed all the counters and goods in the store to the door of the store, with the intention of blocking the door first and then sticking here.
