Fumin Road, a single-family alley.
Luo Heng raised his head and looked at the brightly lit windows upstairs, with a playful smile on his lips.
Gong Liu and Ayan stood aside and looked at Luo Heng curiously.
The two of them didn't understand why Luo Heng suddenly found this place.
This two-story building has a small garden with a garage in front.
At first glance, it looks like a wealthy man's outhouse, a place where canaries are raised.
After waiting at the entrance of the alley for a moment, Ma San caught up.
He lowered his voice and said: "I didn't find a tail. The Japanese people probably didn't expect that we would fight back and didn't arrange a back-up plan."
Luo Heng nodded.
He said with a satisfied smile: "That's good. Now that we have chosen a place to stay, we will live in this building for a while."
Ma San looked up and asked curiously: "By the way, why did you suddenly kill a coachman?"
Luo Heng curled his lips and said, "That guy knows this place. I don't want to be betrayed by the same person twice."
"Who lives in this building? Why should they take us in?" Ma San continued to ask.
At this time, another pedestrian passed by on the road, and curious eyes fell on a few people.
It was indeed a bit eye-catching for a few people to stand here this late at night.
Luo Heng was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, so he hurriedly said: "You will know when you go in. Remember to talk less later. Let me deal with everything."
After speaking, without waiting for the three people to react, Luo Heng stepped forward and jumped into the small garden.
Ma San shook his head speechlessly, thinking that Luo Heng was going to force his way in.
But Luo Heng stepped forward and knocked gently on the door of the small building.
After a while, the voice of a middle-aged woman came from the room.
"Who is it? Knocking on the door at such a late night, be careful not to disturb the young lady's rest..."
Luo Heng cleared his throat and replied in a low voice: "Mr. Du asked me to come here. I have something urgent and I want to see Miss Fifth..."
Footsteps approached inside the house, and a small window opened on the door.
A middle-aged woman looked at Luo Heng through the small window and asked cautiously: "Who is Nong? I have never seen Nong beside Mr. Du."
Luo Heng looked serious and said with cupped hands: "I am Luo Heng from Foshan. I was introduced to Mr. Du to find a job under Mr. Du. Something big happened tonight. I want to tell Miss Fifth personally..."
The woman looked at Luo Heng suspiciously.
But from behind, a gentle and clear voice sounded: "Zhang Ma? Open the door and let him in..."
"Miss?" Zhang Ma turned around worriedly, but her hand obediently opened the door bolt.
Luo Heng stood politely outside the door, waiting for Zhang Ma to open half of the door.
Then he nodded to her and said softly: "I have a few companions who are at the door. Could you please Zhang Ma to bring them in..."
Then he stepped into the house.
Looking up, he saw a woman wearing a coat standing on the stairs.
The clothes were a little loose and the woman's figure could not be seen clearly.
Just looking at her face, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her skin is like gelatin and she is as beautiful as a fairy.
"Mr. Luo, it's so late. Is there anything Mr. Du wants you to bring to me?"
The woman was also looking at Luo Heng curiously.
Luo Heng withdrew his gaze and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Du told Luo just before he was dying that I should come here to find you..."
As soon as these words came out, the woman was stunned on the spot.
His body shook, and he was about to fall down the stairs.
Luo Heng took a quick step and stepped lightly on the handrail to use his strength. He was already on the stairs and reached out to support the woman.
He said softly: "Please express my condolences and accept the change. Mr. Du still has some unfinished business to entrust to me. Wan Wang guarantees his health."
Tears fell silently from the woman's face, and she opened her mouth several times but no sound came out.
At this time, Zhang Ma led Ma San and others in.
Luo Heng quietly retracted his hand supporting the woman. At this time, he did not take the opportunity to take advantage of her.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Ma hurriedly ran over, supported the woman, and asked with concern: "Miss, what are you doing? Be careful of crying..."
The woman choked and grieved.
Ma San and others were stunned.
Luo Heng entered the house only a little while ago.
Why do people become like this?
Gong Liu looked at Luo Heng with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
It took less than two minutes to bring myself and others here in the middle of the night.
Just make love with a beautiful lady who looks like a fairy. Could this be Luo Heng's mistress?
It’s wrong to think about it...
Luo Heng and Ma San, haven't they just been in Shanghai for two days?
Zhang Ma was still comforting the crying woman.
Luo Heng glanced at the three of them from an angle that the two of them didn't notice.
He said loudly: "Miss, now is not the time to cry. The most important thing now is to discuss how to avenge Mr. Du..."
The woman finally stopped crying and looked at Luo Heng: "Mr. Luo, I want to know how Mr. Du died?"
Luo Heng said softly: "Japanese killers did it. Because Mr. Du got rid of Watanabe who was lurking next to him and ruined their plan, so..."
At this point, Luo Heng paused deliberately, then frowned and said, "It would be great if I didn't expose Watanabe's spy identity in public, but reminded Mr. Du privately."
The woman smiled sadly, as if she had just noticed the three people at the bottom of the stairs.
She said softly: "Mama Zhang, I'm not in the mood right now. You can entertain a few guests for me."
Then he turned to Luo Heng and said, "Mr. Luo, can you come up here? I want to hear about Mr. Du..."
Luo Heng's eyes flashed imperceptibly, and he nodded: "Please."
This woman is not simple.
Although she did not live in Du Mansion, she was Du Guosheng's fifth concubine.
In the movie, Du Guosheng was betrayed by Zhang Laoer, and the Du Mansion was destroyed.
This Xiaowu was left alone in Shanghai, but he was able to enjoy himself among the crowds of people.
In the end, he died in the hands of Zhang Laoer in order to help Du Guosheng avenge his family's destruction.
It can be said that she is a strange woman with love, justice and brains.
"Mr. Luo, actually, he mentioned you when he came here last time..."
The fifth aunt was indeed not a simple person. She quickly suppressed her sadness and sat down on the sofa with a calm tone, looking at Luo Heng.
"oh?"
Luo Heng was a little curious, wondering what Lao Du said about him behind his back.
The fifth aunt's eyes were a little out of focus. Although she was looking at Luo Heng, she always felt as if she was stuck in memories.
Then he skipped Du Guosheng's evaluation of Luo Heng and started talking about other things.
“He said that he has always felt that the current situation is a bit unsettled recently, and that Japanese people have contacted him several times and wanted to help him open the Bank of East Asia.
"On the surface it looks like they want to cooperate, but in fact they want to use his influence in Shanghai to control Shanghai's economic market..."
Luo Heng nodded. In fact, this did not mean how vicious Du Guosheng's vision was.
The Japanese people have made many small moves in China in recent years.
Anyone with a little knowledge can see their ambitions.
Among the three tycoons of the Green Gang, the boss named Huang is greedy for money and lust, Mr. Zhang is cruel and evil, and Du Guosheng is a well-rounded person.
These three people control the entire Qinggang and have huge influence in Shanghai.
The Japanese took a fancy to this point.
He tried to win over the Youth Gang to do things for him, and deliberately arranged an undercover agent next to Du Guosheng ten years in advance.
"He has already sensed the danger. How did the Japanese succeed?"
The fifth aunt suddenly asked, seemingly casually.
Luo Heng's heart tightened.
As expected, this woman did not trust herself immediately. This was a test.
"Since Mrs. Wu heard Mr. Du mention me, she should know something about it.
“I just came to Shanghai from Foshan, and after being introduced by Uncle Deng, I found Mr. Du and wanted him to help with something.
"But I didn't expect that today at the Happy Theater, I found out that Mr. Du's brother-in-law, the Japanese Watanabe, was actually a spy lurking around Mr. Du..."
There was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the fifth concubine, and she asked in shock: "You mean Watanabe is a Japanese spy? How is that possible? He has been living in Shanghai for ten years..."
Luo Heng nodded and explained: "Mr. Du couldn't believe it at first. This Watanabe disguised himself so well that he hid it from everyone.
"But soon Mr. Du found evidence from the Japanese restaurant he opened..."
Luo Heng continued: "After Watanabe's identity was revealed, Mr. Du felt that he could lurk around him for so many years without revealing any flaws.
"There must be someone around me cooperating to protect him, so I don't dare to trust the old people around me anymore.
"It was decided to let me investigate secretly. In the afternoon, Mr. Du was meeting with me secretly to discuss.
"did not expect……"
Having said this, Luo Heng gritted his teeth and breathed a little heavier.
Fifth Aunt Tai asked: "Did the Japanese find out about your meeting?"
Luo Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It would be nice if it was just that simple.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Du's most trusted person would betray him at this time, cooperate with the Japanese, and kill Boss Huang and Mr. Zhang.
"They also tried to catch us all in one fell swoop. When I protected Mr. Du to break out, I was outnumbered, and Mr. Du was poisoned by the Japanese..."
At this point, Luo Heng stopped talking. Sometimes, lies can't be made too perfect.
When the fifth aunt heard this, she was stunned for a long time and then sighed quietly.
He said slowly: "Is that person Rui Qingrong?"
Luo Heng nodded: "He should have known about my escape by now. I'm afraid that tomorrow, everyone in Shanghai will think that I killed Boss Huang and Mr. Zhang.
"Mr. Du's death will also fall on me."
Speaking of this, Luo Heng shook his head with a helpless look and smiled bitterly: "When Mr. Du was dying, he told me that Rui Qingrong had been following him all these years, but he had been bribed by the Japanese.
"The Du Mansion has become a sieve. You must not try to contact the Du family. If you want to take revenge, you can only go to Fumin Road to find Miss Fifth. He rarely comes to your place on weekdays, and those people are short-term. Don’t notice this side…”
The fifth aunt shook her head in shock, tears falling down her delicate face again.
Wiping the tears on his cheeks, he said: "He said that the current situation is unstable recently and that we need to consider our options early.
"However, it is difficult to mobilize the people around me, so I can only entrust my old brother who retired to Foshan to go to Hong Kong Island in advance to make preparations.
"Those brothers recommended a young man to him who will come to Shanghai soon and let him meet him..."
When Xiao Wu said this, his eyes finally fell on Luo Heng's face again.
Luo Heng suddenly realized in his heart.
Many things that I couldn't figure out before were finally figured out now.
The young man recommended to Du Guosheng by the old guys from Lao Deng was obviously himself.
No wonder that when he went to Jinlou for the first time, Lao Deng found that he had good skills and was not the good-for-nothing he was rumored to be.
He immediately encouraged him to go up and compete with Ma San.
At that time, Lao Deng should have received the task from Du Guosheng asking them to go to Hong Kong Island to prepare.
It's just that they are a bunch of old guys who have been living in Foshan for decades and have monopolized the nightlife club business in Foshan. Who would want to go to Hong Kong Island and start from scratch in a place controlled by that ghost guy?
So I tried to choose a young man to come forward.
He happened to cross over and hit the muzzle of the gun.
After Luo Heng won Ma San, Lao Deng led Gong Baosen out alone to communicate privately.
Later Luo Heng also learned that what they were talking about that day was that the eldest daughter of the Gong family, Gong Ruoxue, had run away and was in trouble in Shanghai.
Luo Heng had not thought deeply about this matter before.
At this time, combined with the information revealed by the fifth concubine, I naturally understood.
When did Lao Deng choose to inform Gong Baosen of the news?
Damn it, it was Gong Baosen who said in public that he wanted his eldest disciple Ma San to use Luo Heng as a sheath and follow Luo Heng for ten years to sharpen his character.
Gong Baosen chose to hold the ceremony of his retirement in the South at the Golden Tower.
As the capital boss behind Jinlou, wouldn’t Du Guosheng know this?
Why was that letter delivered to Lao Deng?
If it weren't for Du Guosheng's arrangements, I wouldn't even believe it if he said it was a ghost.
Du Guosheng arranged a retreat on Hong Kong Island, why not use the capable men around him.
Instead, we have to go to a lot of trouble to use the old guys from Lao Deng who have left Shanghai for many years?
Lao Du is extremely powerful in Shanghai. Who can make him act so cautiously?
The Japanese had not yet launched a war of aggression at this time, and espionage activities were rampant in Shanghai, but they did not affect the internal affairs of the Qinggang.
What Du Guosheng was guarding against could only be Boss Huang, who was hiding behind the scenes and controlling the Green Gang through balancing techniques, and Zhang Laoer, who appeared to be brothers but was actually ruthless.
So Boss Huang fell in love with Gong Liu. With the power of the Qing Gang in Shanghai, he never knew Gong Liu’s true identity. She was the eldest daughter of Gong Liu...
That's why the news about Gong Liu's difficulties in Shanghai was sent to Foshan...
Lao Deng knows how much Du Guosheng attaches importance to Hong Kong Island's retreat.
Only after deliberately recommending Luo Heng to carry out the execution, would he push Luo Heng to come to Shanghai so that Du Guosheng could see Luo Heng's abilities with his own eyes...
That's why Du Guosheng showed goodwill after Luo Heng arrived in Shanghai.
But he was holding his posture, waiting for Luo Heng and Ma San to take the initiative to ask him for help...
Damn it, these gangsters are all good at calculating people's hearts!
"Mr. Luo, you are the person recommended to Mr. Du by Uncle Deng's old brothers. I can trust you. He asked you to come to me, which shows that he also trusts you. Just tell me, what can I, a woman, do at this time?" ?”
The fifth aunt said in a faint tone.
Luo Heng quickly gathered his energy and muttered: "Mr. Du's revenge must be avenged.
"But now that bastard Rui Qingrong will definitely use the excuse of avenging the three bosses to launch a hunt for me in order to win over the Qing Gang's hearts..."
The fifth aunt frowned slightly: "I am here in the French Concession. They don't dare to do anything blatantly. You can stay here for the time being..."
Luo Heng nodded: "Mr. Du told me the address here, so he should have considered it this way..."
I feel happy in my heart. Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't Xiang Feitian the inspector of the French Concession?
We have a place to stay and the way to rescue people is close, which is quite convenient.
"I'll ask Ma Zhang to clean up your room for you..."
The fifth aunt stood up and started to go downstairs.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m overly sad or because I’ve been sitting for too long without changing my position.
Just after taking two steps, his body suddenly tilted.
"Oops..." he exclaimed, about to fall down.
Luo Heng subconsciously reached out his hand and helped him over.
Passing one hand through his armpit, he suddenly felt that it was smooth and soft, and he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Holy shit! vacuum……
