At the agreed time, Tang Cheng appeared in the café on time, and Xu Huanshan, who had been waiting here, did not stretch out his hand to Zhao after seeing Tang Cheng, but continued to whisper to the cheongsam woman beside him, as if he did not see Tang Cheng. However, a young woman sitting behind Xu Huanshan, after Tang Cheng and the two walked into the café, she motioned to the waiter of the café to settle the bill, and then got up and left the café.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng only frowned slightly, and then took Ma San to sit in the vacant position behind Xu Huanshan, so that he sat down with Xu Huanshan back to back. "Tell me, come to me for something important." After waiting for the waiter at the café to bring coffee and cake, Tang Cheng finally spoke in a low voice. Ma San, who was sitting opposite Tang Cheng, showed a suspicious look on his face when he heard this, he thought that Tang Cheng was talking to him.

Xu Huanshan, who was sitting with the cheongsam woman, coughed lightly, and then also lowered his voice and said, "I came to you because of the firefight incident that happened in the concession yesterday." I want to know, does that have anything to do with you? In addition, our people have found out that the deceased named Miyamoto Jingyi was a Zhongsa officer of the Kwantung Army, and he had not had any contact with Shanghai before, so we want to know the purpose of this Miyamoto Jingyi coming to Shanghai. ”

Xu Huanshan seemed to have asked two questions at the moment, but in fact, he just wanted to figure out Tang Cheng's role in this matter, but Xu Huanshan expressed it a little tactfully. After Xu Huanshan, who had his back to Tang Cheng, spoke, Ma San finally understood that Tang Cheng was not talking to him just now. "If I say that this Miyamoto actually joined forces with the Shanghai headquarters of Tegaoke to try to set a trap in the concession and prepare to trap me, do you believe it?"

Tang Cheng's answer sounded very simple, but Xu Huanshan faintly believed it, because according to his understanding of Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, who had always hated Japanese plainclothes spies, had no need to deliberately go around in such a big circle in dealing with Japanese intelligence officers. "As for you saying that this Miyamoto is actually a member of the Kwantung Army, I really don't know this." Tang Cheng's words made Ma San, who was lighting a cigarette, slightly flustered, he knew that Tang Cheng knew Miyamoto's identity from the beginning.

"Because in my opinion, all the Japanese who participated in this war deserve to die, and this Miyamoto is actually an officer of the Kwantung Army, so it is even more deserving." Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan frown secretly, he hadn't seen the other party for a while, he didn't expect the anger in Tang Cheng's heart to become even stronger. Xu Huanshan, who had his back to Tang Cheng, didn't know that after Tang Cheng said this, his face showed a prank and successful expression, daring him to say this sentence specifically to Xu Huanshan.

Tang Cheng had already denied in person that he knew the identity of the Kwantung Army officer Miyamoto in advance, but he also admitted in disguise that the mysterious person who attacked the small clinic was him. Just when Xu Huanshan was secretly hesitating, Tang Cheng, who was sitting behind him, quietly stuffed Xu Huanshan with a file bag when Ma San went to the toilet.

"This item was later found in Miyamoto Jingichi's briefcase, which contained a mineral investigation report from a place outside Kansai. Pages 3 and 4 of the report focus on three medium-sized gold mines that, according to the survey, are capable of producing at least one tonne of gold per year. Hearing Tang Cheng say that the contents of the file bag in his hand were marked with the exact coordinates and locations of the three medium-sized gold mines outside, Xu Huanshan's breathing had begun to become heavy unconsciously.

"Why did you give this to us?" Xu Huanshan, who was ecstatic in his heart, handed the file bag to his female companion as soon as possible, and motioned to the other party to leave the café with the file bag first. When Xu Huanshan wanted to pull Tang Cheng into the underground party organization, he investigated and understood Tang Cheng's situation, and he knew that if Tang Cheng handed over the file bag just now to the senior management of the intelligence department, he would definitely give Tang Cheng greater benefits.

But Tang Cheng just gave this thing to himself, it seems that his side can't give Tang Cheng any benefits, on the contrary, if the matter is exposed, Tang Cheng will be investigated and persecuted by the intelligence department because of his contact with him. "No, although there are specific coordinates of the gold mines, I don't have the slightest interest in those three gold mines. Anyway, it's something that is useless to me, so it's better to exchange it with you, and I believe you shouldn't refuse. ”

Tang Cheng's answer didn't have anything specific at all, it was completely dry and tasteless, but Xu Huanshan obviously heard Tang Cheng deliberately bite the words heavily when he said the two words. "What do you want to exchange? Intelligence or weapons? Or are you asking for money? Xu Huanshan, who was moved in his heart, no longer used the tone he had just spoken to Tang Cheng, because Ma San, who had gone to the toilet just now, had already returned at this time.

"Intelligence, I need your intelligence support, your underground party has been active in Shanghai for a long time, and you should know very well about the gang forces in the concession. I want to know the information of those gang forces in the Shanghai Concession who are secretly cooperating with the Japanese, Tegaoke is very careful these days, I am ready to deal with those gang forces that do things for the Japanese, so I need your help to provide me with relevant information. ”

"You also know that I have always been very generous, if there is no problem with the information you provide, I can give you all the weapons and equipment captured after the operation. I know that many of the gang forces in the concession are also involved in the black market, and there may be actions against them, and there may be seizures of contraband that are restricted in the market, and I am sure that you will be interested in contraband. Xu Huanshan had to admit that Tang Cheng's words were very convincing, and most of the so-called contraband in the black market were things that the underground party organizations urgently needed.

"If you promise to provide me with intelligence support, I will definitely fulfill my promise, and I will definitely not let you suffer!" Although Tang Cheng had his back to Xu Huanshan, from the sound of Xu Huanshan's breathing, he had already sensed that Xu Huanshan should have an approval attitude towards this transaction. But in front of Ma San, Tang Cheng still needed to finish singing this scene, so he deliberately put on the face of a businessman, hoping that Xu Huanshan could understand what he meant from his words.

Tang Cheng's abnormal performance and words at this moment really attracted Xu Huanshan's attention, thinking of the stranger brought by Tang Cheng, Xu Huanshan secretly became vigilant in his heart, he guessed that Ma San, who had an unfamiliar face, was sent by the Intelligence Department to monitor Tang Cheng. It was only when this idea came up that he was overturned and ignored by Xu Huanshan himself, because he knew that Tang Cheng would never bring someone from the intelligence department to meet with him. If this strange face was not from the Intelligence Department, then Tang Cheng behaved so abnormally, there should be unspeakable difficulties.

Could it be that he was deliberately hiding something from this strange face? Xu Huanshan was an old underground party after all, and he immediately understood Tang Cheng's intentions. "Mr. Tang, that's not how business works! As we said before, helping each other is the premise of cooperation, and it's not that I don't believe what you said, but I can't convince others. You've got to get some dry stuff out before I can convince the others to know what valuable intelligence means in Shanghai! That's not just something anyone can get! ”

Xu Huanshan, who understood Tang Cheng's meaning, also began to bargain with Tang Cheng half-truthfully, Ma San, who heard the conversation between the two, although he couldn't see the reaction on his face, was actually quite bored in his heart, Xu Huanshan's performance at the moment was not much different from the underground party in Ma San's imagination. Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan, like businessmen, went back and forth for several rounds, and Xu Huanshan finally pretended to agree to Tang Cheng's conditions.

"I won't be going out for a few days, after the intelligence is summarized, you can call me directly." After finalizing the cooperation, Tang Cheng immediately got up and stood up, followed by Ma San, and the two left the café. Xu Huanshan sat still, and after Tang Cheng and Ma San left the café and walked away, the man in the suit who had been sitting in the corner took his coffee cup, got up and moved to sit opposite Xu Huanshan. If Tang Cheng was still here, he would definitely be able to recognize this man in a suit, who was Ah Jiu, who was in charge of centering and liaison.

"Ah Jiu, that apartment house can't go anymore, I see what Tang Cheng means today, he is probably already planning to give up that apartment house." Xu Huanshan's expression looked a little heavy, carefully thinking back to the content of his conversation with Tang Cheng just now, Tang Cheng not only behaved very abnormally today, but also had deep meaning hidden in and out of his words. "Those who inform us should be careful from now until the end of the month. If there is no need and emergency, it is best to use a dead letter box to communicate with each other, and if there is a possibility of exposure, evacuate Shanghai as soon as possible. ”

Xu Huanshan did not doubt Tang Cheng's destructive power at all, if Tang Cheng planned to make a move against the gang forces in the concession, he would definitely make a big disturbance. At present, most of the activities of Shanghai's underground party organizations are concentrated in the concession area, and if Tangcheng's actions arouse the dissatisfaction of the Ministry of Industry and the patrol house in the concession, the underground party organizations hidden in the concession may be implicated. According to Xu Huanshan's understanding of Tang Cheng, as long as Tang Cheng made a decision, even if he persuaded him, I am afraid that there would be no way to make Tang Cheng change this decision.

The only thing Xu Huanshan can do at present is to send a warning to the underground party members hidden in the concession in advance, hoping that they will not be affected by the pond fish by then. While Xu Huanshan was worried, he was also thinking about the investigation report that Tang Cheng handed over to him, this thing should not be kept in his hands, and it was best to send someone to northern Shaanxi immediately.
