As night fell, darkness enveloped Shanghai. Some people are having dinner, some are frolicking in the dance hall, and some are talking in low voices. The seemingly quiet night reveals a hint of unusualness.

"Boss Lu, are you ready?" Li Mingdong was still wearing a suit, and he was talking to a sturdy man in a black coat.

"Haha, Brother Li, don't worry, everything is ready, as long as you give orders, our Tiger Gang will set off. ”

"Alright, let's go now, I'm here waiting for the good news from the landing boss. Li Mingdong said with a hideous smile.

The Tigers were all dressed in black, covering their faces with black scarves, with axes pinned to their waists and arm-thick sticks on their backs. The group was in a hurry, like bandits descending from the mountain, rushing into the concession like wolves and going straight to the China Student Newspaper Office.

At this time, most of Principal Zhang, Xiaoxue and others were eating dinner outside and did not stay in the newspaper office. The staff who remained to work at the newspaper office were knocked to the ground, and the machine was also destroyed by these men in black. The men in black also looted the newspaper's belongings and took away some vases and other items for decoration. The Chinese student newspaper that had already been printed was set on fire, and in a short time, a raging fire was ignited. The flames rose into the sky and thick smoke filled the air, and the injured people helped each other and stumbled out of the newspaper office. Other businesses around the newspaper office also became chaotic when they saw the fire, some shouted for help, and some were afraid to flee. There are also people watching lively. Most people were fighting the fire, but due to the size of the fire, it gradually spread to the surrounding shops. The men in black hid in the corner, watching the raging fire, their eyes flashing with excitement.

"Big brother, this thing is done? The 1,000 yuan promised by Young Master Li has already arrived, but this newspaper is too poor and doesn't have much oil and water? Hey, big brother, you see that there is chaos now, why don't we go to the surrounding merchants to make a profit? ”

Boss Lu, who was covering his face, frowned and thought for a while, then patted his thigh and said, "That's it, thin monkey." Sue sù brothers, go to the shops around to get a vote, no one will find us anyway. ”

The eyes of the black-clothed gang flashed with excitement and bloodthirsty light, and the cat bent around the back of the shop. After entering the store, I began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find belongings. After a while, the shops were in a mess.

Just as they were about to leave after searching their finances, a shopkeeper who had gone back to pick up their things spotted them. The shopkeeper looked at the men in black in horror, screamed, "Catch the thief!" and ran out like crazy.

The fire gradually became charged, and it no longer spread. At this moment, everyone was surprised when they saw Boss Zhang of the store next to him shouting and running, and after listening to what he said, they all looked at each other and hurriedly followed him into the store, but everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

The shop was already in shambles, all the stools and tables had arrived, the drawers had been turned over in a mess, some porcelain was lying on the ground and could not be broken anymore, and some of the glass was cracked. In short, it's a looted scene.

When Boss Lu saw the shopkeeper running out, he secretly said that it was not good, and ordered everyone to quickly pack up their things and leave immediately. But before they could completely go out through the back door, the people who were fighting the fire together came in, and just saw them running out with their belongings, and everyone couldn't help but say that they were going forward to stop them.

Boss Lu glanced at these people and couldn't help but show a fierce gleam. The skinny monkey who had just mentioned yì robbing these shops even picked up a stick and hit it. The other black-clothed gangsters also drew their sticks and pounced on the people around him when they saw him move. At the beginning, Boss Zhang and other firefighters could still hold the basin in their hands to block twice, but where are these ordinary people who are the many opponents of these knife-edged blood-licking gangs, and they were knocked to the ground after a while, wailing one by one.

There were several more people, who should have broken bones, and their faces were covered in blood, drowning in breath.

"Alright, stop fighting, hurry up. Boss Lu waved his hand, and the group of black-clothed men under him left the shop one by one.

Principal Zhang, Wang Zhimin, Xiaoxue, Li Chao and others also finished dinner at this time, and walked back while talking, and when they were still a few streets away from the newspaper office, they found that there was smoke coming out in the distance, even if it was only in the dark sky, they could see very clearly, and there was still a faint fire. Everyone looked at each other and had a bad premonition in their hearts. The crowd immediately ran to the place where smoke was rising.

When everyone arrived at the place where the fire was on fire, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. It was their newspaper office, and not far from the newspaper office were the guys who had left behind to work, and now almost everyone was covered in blood and kept **. And the fire has already burned to two or three shops next to it, although it has been contained. But the newspaper office has been completely burned down, and the two shops next to it are also damaged by different Cheng dù.

"Is this what happened?" Li Chao couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

At this time, there was a whispered cry for help in everyone's ears. Principal Zhang listened carefully and found that it was coming from the shop next to her, she called everyone and the people who were fighting the fire outside, rushed to the merchant, and found that the situation inside the shop was even more tragic. Many people were lying on the ground covered in blood, the inside of the shop was in shambles, the glass and porcelain pieces were shattered, and the inside of the house was as if an explosion had just occurred. The scene in front of them made everyone unbelievable, no one expected such a terrible thing to happen in a concession with good law and order. Wang Zhimin couldn't help muttering to himself: "Oh my God, what happened?"

"Okay, now is not the time to find out what's going on, everyone is taking a hand and saving people. Principal Zhang commanded.

Everyone carried the injured people out of the shops, others continued to put out the fire, and the patrol room may have heard the movement and sent a car to rush over.

It was still the patrol leader, Bailey, who was also stunned by the sight before him. He felt that he had been running out of bad luck lately, and that God was no longer protecting him. There were frequent problems in his jurisdiction, marches every three days and two days, and murders. Today, there is such a strict thing happening again. Bailey only felt his right eyelid skip and his scalp tingle.

"Oh, MyGod, what's going on with Ms. Zhang?"

Hearing Bailey's question, Principal Zhang didn't know how to answer, "I don't know what's going on, Mr. Bailey. We had just come back from dinner, and when we rushed over, we saw the scene in front of us, the fire burned down our newspaper office, and now the fire has just been contained, but the shops next to it are also not damaged by Cheng Dù, and besides, our newspaper guys and some other people were injured by Yan Zhan, and we don't know who did this thing!"

Bailey approached the injured personnel and the newspaper office that had been burned to charcoal black, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

The injured people were taken to the hospital one after another. Seeing the newspaper office and equipment, there is not even slag left. Everyone couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts, and they vaguely felt that this time the incident was coming at them, and the people around them were just implicated.

Under Wang Zhimin's suggestion, everyone came to a hotel, rented a room, and talked in detail about tonight's events.

Xiaoxue first said: "I think this thing may have been done by the Japanese. The newspaper we have published in the past two days must have made them feel threatened, which is why they did such a crazy thing. ”

Xiaoxue's words were unanimously approved by everyone, but Principal Zhang frowned tightly, in this sensitive period, if the Japanese entered the concession to do this kind of thing, it would easily aggravate the conflict between the concession and Japan and cause international disputes. Even if little Japan is arrogant and arrogant, it should not do these things at this sensitive stage, but this matter must have something to do with them.

After discussing for a long time and having no answer, they agreed to continue the demonstration tomorrow.

Principal Zhang went to the reporters of the declaration and the major newspapers, told them what happened tonight, and said his guess that it must have something to do with them if it was not done by the Japanese themselves.

Xiaoxue and Wang Zhimin went home and told the second elder of the Zhou family about the violent incident in the newspaper, and the second elder was extremely shocked. Zhou Yaozu stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back and thought for a while and said, "It seems that the newspapers issued in the past two days have stimulated the nerves of the Japanese. He said to Wang Shimin: "It doesn't matter if it burns down, tomorrow, you will take out the money to find another place and continue to run the China Student Daily, it seems that this newspaper has achieved certain results." ”

"Yes, uncle. This newspaper has played a certain role, and now not only is the enthusiasm of the masses excited, but also the citizens have donated a lot more money and materials, and there are many aspiring young people who have signed up to join the army. Xiaoxue also told Zhou Yaozu about the changes in the past few days.

At this time, Boss Lu, who set fire to and injured people, also returned to the gang with his subordinates, and he raised his fists and said to Li Mingdong: "Young Master Li is fortunate not to be dishonored, that newspaper office is estimated to be burned to the ground now, and it will definitely not be able to print the newspaper tomorrow." ”

Li Mingdong laughed and said to Boss Lu: "It is worthy of the Tiger Gang, and the work is still so neat." This is the promised reward before, please tell Boss Lu. ”

The bearded Boss Lu unceremoniously put away Wang Zhimin and gave him a reward, and the two talked and laughed for a while. Li Mingdong got up and said goodbye.

After Li Mingdong returned home, he said to Li Qisheng: "Grandpa, everything is done, although Boss Lu's puppet has no brains, he still has a hand on this kind of thing." ”

Li Qisheng touched his beard and said with a smile: "Good job, I'll call Kawada Dazuo." ”

"Hey, is this Your Excellency Kawada? I'm Li Qisheng, and I've done what you commanded. ”

"Yo Xi, Li Sang, you are worthy of being a favored person in the Great Japanese Empire. Thank you Li Sang for helping me this time, the empire will not forget you. Kawada Osa touched his own person Dan Hu laughed.

Li Qisheng was polite to him for a while and hung up the phone, squinting his eyes and smashing his fingers on the desk, not knowing what he was thinking?

Flanders in the administrative building of the concession was in a particularly unhappy mood right now, because Bailey had reported to him what had happened suddenly tonight, a fire had destroyed a newspaper office, and two shops next to it had been damaged by different stores. Coupled with the fact that the surrounding shops were attacked by unknown persons, the total loss has reached nearly 200,000. Moreover, a team of nearly fifty people was seriously injured. This is definitely the worst case that happened during the period when Flender ruled the concession.

The tip of Flender's nose was flushed. "Immediately mobilize all the forces of the patrol house and tell those Chinese to patrol and arrest, we must find out who did this, otherwise everyone will be doomed. With a roar from Flender, Bailey walked out of the office in a gloomy manner.

After leaving the office, he immediately began to contact the Chinese patrol, asking them to mobilize their forces to find out who did this tonight? The Chinese patrol was still very powerful at that time, and in addition to being police officers, they had some connections with almost all gangs, and many of them were even disciples of the Green Gang.

The underground network in the concession is fully operational. Everyone wondered what was the case tonight.

The moon hung in the dark for nearly a night and was a little tired, slowly disappearing its figure, and the night was about to pass.
