Chapter III: Inside Story
"Brother Wang, how many people do you have? Give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, do you want to? Tang Cheng's words made Wang Liang unconsciously take a step back, and said in his heart that if it weren't for the fact that your kid is the nephew of the commissioner, Lao Tzu wouldn't be idle and have nothing to do with you! Also meritorious service opportunity! If he was so good at making meritorious contributions, Lao Tzu would still be just an acting captain! What Wang Liang thought, Tang Cheng naturally didn't know, he just wanted to use Wang Liang's power to secretly track the suspicious target he discovered.
The suspicious target discovered by Tang Cheng was a family member of a patient, and this woman, like Wang Liang, would come to the hospital every day to deliver food. It's just that every time she comes to the hospital to deliver food, she will pay attention to Zhang Jianghe's ward intentionally or unintentionally, and Tang Cheng didn't know that once she saw it, this woman secretly asked the doctors and nurses about Zhang Jianghe's recovery from his injuries. Tang Cheng just told Wang Liang about the opportunity for meritorious service, and he was talking about this woman, but he didn't know that Wang Liang was secretly slandering himself at the moment.
Tang Cheng waited for two days, but he didn't see Wang Liang take any action, so he was very puzzled and told Zhang Jianghe on the hospital bed about it, but he didn't want to attract Zhang Jianghe's ridicule. "Say you're stupid, you're really stupid, you kid think that this is still the city of Nanjing where you can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, this is Shanghai Tang, and it is Shanghai Tang that the director does not dare to treat carelessly, and you dare to command Wang Liang at that moment, what do you rely on? ”
Zhang Jianghe's words made Tang Cheng very difficult to accept, he had also personally caught the Japanese spies in Nanjing City, how did this get into this person's mouth, and he became a waste snack that achieved nothing? "Uncle Zhang, if you want to say that, then I'm a little unhappy to hear it." Tang Cheng immediately grimaced, and was about to show his miserable method to Zhang Jianghe, but he didn't want to be slapped by Zhang Jianghe.
"You kid get out of the way for me, crying with a face ready to show me? Tell you, I don't eat your set!" Tang Cheng's bitter meat trick obviously did not gain sympathy in Zhang Jianghe here, in Zhang Jianghe's words, they are all foxes, so don't pretend to be rabbits here. "I can tell you, although Wang Liang is just a small action captain, he has a background in the Green Gang behind him, and in Shanghai, no one can avoid the Green Gang."
Zhang Jianghe didn't say much, but Tang Cheng remembered every word carefully, because he knew that Zhang Jianghe would never talk about Wang Liang and the Qing Gang for no reason. Seeing that Tang Cheng listened carefully, the anger in Zhang Jianghe's heart dissipated slightly, "If you want me to say, you kid shouldn't come to Shanghai, the water here is too deep and muddy, if you still mess around like in Nanjing, it will be very troublesome." ”
At this point, Zhang Jianghe's face immediately showed a trace of loneliness, when he first arrived in Shanghai a few months ago, he also wanted to do a big job. It's just that the world is unpredictable, and his party was actually ambushed in the concession, not only all his cronies were killed, but even he lost an arm. If Zhang Jianghe can swallow this bad breath, it is purely a lie, but now, he is still lying on the hospital bed, and he has to put down revenge or something.
The lonely look on Zhang Jianghe's face was clearly seen by Tang Cheng, and he immediately excused himself to go out to smoke, and was about to leave the ward, but was stopped by Zhang Jianghe, who was relieved. "I know you're a good kid, and you've done a good job in Nanjing in the past few months. But you have to remember, this is Shanghai, and there are many heroes I know who have died here, and if you find any one of them, they are much better than you. ”
Zhang Jianghe's words were naturally not to scare Tang Cheng, he said this, he just wanted Tang Cheng to understand that Shanghai is not only a prosperous city, but also a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones. "Uncle Zhang, it's not interesting for you to say this!" Tang Cheng, who sat back in his place, immediately looked at Zhang Jianghe with a smile, but with a pout, he showed a disapproving expression. "We can't stop going into the forest just because there are beasts in the woods, but in my dictionary, we never flinch the word."
Although Tang Cheng's face showed a smile at this moment, his meaning had already been undoubtedly revealed, and there was a sense of determination in his words, Zhang Jianghe saw this, and immediately understood the purpose of Tang Cheng's coming to Shanghai. "Xiao Wu, the matter of revenge can be put aside first, this is Shanghai, which is the home of the special high school. You must not be carried away by hatred, the extra high class is not so easy to deal with, you listen to me first, wait for a while!"
"Wait?" Tang Cheng laughed out loud, "Uncle Zhang, waiting is not my style, besides, your injury will not heal at all for three or five months." Besides, even if you get better, the internal affairs of your Shanghai station alone are enough for you to worry about. You don't have to worry about this little thing about me, you can rest assured and just wait for my good news. As he spoke, Tang Cheng winked at Zhang Jianghe, then got up and prepared to leave the ward.
"Xiao Wu, you wait first, listen to what I say." Zhang Jianghe, who was on the hospital bed, was in a hurry, and suddenly coughed continuously, and Tang Cheng, who had already gotten up and stood up, had no choice but to sit down on the side of the bed again. Zhang Jianghe immediately grabbed Tang Cheng's arm with his right hand, and he didn't let go anymore, and his face, which was slightly flushed because of pretending to cough, immediately appeared with joy that the conspiracy had succeeded.
"You stinky boy, like your dead ghost father, you're an anxious kid, you can't listen to me first!" Tang Cheng behaved so resolutely that Zhang Jianghe already knew that he could not really stop Tang Cheng when he could only lie on the hospital bed, so he had to inform Tang Cheng of what he had been thinking about during this time. "Revenge is necessary, otherwise Huzi and the others will die in vain, let alone you, even I can't swallow it."
"I don't know what you're going to do, but I know you're a smart kid and should have your own plans and plans. I won't ask you about this, I just want to tell you, don't trust anyone in Shanghai. Here, those of us who came from Nanjing are all outsiders, you have to remember my words. Zhang Jianhe squeezed Tang Cheng's palm heavily, and the latter realized that things seemed to be far more complicated than he imagined.
"Compared with Nanjing, the situation in Shanghai is more complicated, and Nanjing transferred me to Shanghai under the pretext that there is corruption within the Shanghai station and needs to be cleaned up. But in fact, this is the result of the secret struggle between several forces within the Intelligence Service. The truth that Zhang Jianghe confided at this moment was something Tang Cheng never expected. He didn't expect that there was no monolith in the intelligence department, and Zhang Jianghe's coming to Shanghai was by no means as simple as he had imagined.
"Actually, even after I came to Shanghai, I realized the purpose of the director's transfer of me here. The Director and I were both from Whampoa, and the factional strife within the Intelligence Department had actually existed since the time of the Blue Coat Society. Before I came to Shanghai, the director of the department had been awarded the chairman's commendation for the intelligence department's repeated captures of Japanese spies, so he had the idea of completely controlling the Shanghai station. After all, the Shanghai Station is the largest of the various sub-stations of the Intelligence Department, and it can be regarded as the forefront of facing the special high school courses, as long as the Shanghai Station is fully controlled, the director of the department will be able to use more achievements in the future to increase his weight in front of the chairman. ”
"What does this have to do with your ambush this time?" Tang Cheng frowned suddenly, and his tone of voice was obviously suspicious and resentful, just now, a thought suddenly rose in Tang Cheng's mind, and even he felt frightened. At this moment, there were only two people in the ward, he and Zhang Jianghe, so Tang Cheng didn't hide anything, but asked directly.
Zhang Jianghe glanced at Tang Cheng very unexpectedly, he obviously didn't expect that Tang Cheng's reaction would be so fast, just after listening to what he said just now, he immediately thought that his ambush might be related to the internal strife in the intelligence department. "I don't know if there was anything to do with it, but on the day of the accident, I was on my way to a safe house where my interrogator was secretly held. In addition to the people around me, only the people in Shanghai knew about my whereabouts, and if my whereabouts hadn't been leaked out earlier, the Japanese would never have waited there so early for us to appear. ”
"This means that Uncle Zhang, your movements that day have already been known to the Japanese, so they will ambush there early and wait for you to send them to the door yourself?" Tang Cheng also nodded secretly when he heard this, according to Zhang Jianghe, there is indeed a problem inside the Shanghai Station. Because if there was no insider leaking Zhang Jianghe's traces to the Japanese, no matter how powerful the special high school was, it would not have been possible to set up an ambush early and wait for Zhang Jianghe and others to throw themselves into the net.
"I thought that this kind of internal affairs dispute would be resolved internally, but I didn't expect that they would actually use the method of borrowing a knife to kill people, but it's a pity for them." Referring to Wang Hu and the others who had been killed in battle, Zhang Jianghe's eyes immediately appeared crystalline, Tang Cheng did not speak, but handed Zhang Jianghe a handkerchief.
After Zhang Jianghe's mood stabilized a little, Tang Cheng spoke, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'm not interested in the internal affairs of your intelligence department, but Brother Hu Zi and you were injured, the special high school must pay the price." Don't ask me too much, I naturally have my own plans and methods for doing things, in short, I promise you, I will be careful of the people at Shanghai Station, not to mention that I came to Shanghai this time, I didn't think about doing things with the help of the power of Shanghai Station. ”
Tang Cheng dared to say this, naturally he had his own confidence, and Zhang Jiang and the people at the Shanghai Station didn't know that the day after Tang Cheng arrived in Shanghai, the operatives selected by Bai Zhanshan in Nanjing had already entered Shanghai in batches. The group of people selected by Bai Zhanshan seemed to have nothing to do with Tang Cheng, but even these parties didn't know that in Tang Cheng's plan, they were all cannon fodder used to attract the attention of the special high class, and Tang Cheng was the real executor of the retaliatory action.
