Chapter 74: A Boring Day (2)
From the moment he got up, Tang Cheng felt that the day was not going well, and at this moment, he suddenly met two people who were interested in him, and Tang Cheng planned to stay in this café for a while. After listening to the conversation between the two behind him for a while, Tang Cheng finally figured out what the foreign man and woman behind him were talking about, and at the same time had a general understanding of the identity of the foreign man and woman behind him.
The foreign man who was back-to-back with Tang Cheng was called Mike, a businessman from the United States, and he did almost everything that could make money, including tobacco and arms. This time, because his father in the United States was seriously ill and hospitalized, the family wanted him to return to the United States immediately, but he had a batch of trauma medicine in his hand, and he had to find a family to take over. The woman sitting across from him was called Margaret, who was said to be from England, but she didn't know how she could get involved with the Japanese.
Trauma medicine is in short supply, so even if his family in the United States continues to urge, Mike doesn't want to sell it at a low price. It's just that this Englishwoman named Margaret bites the price, which makes Mike a little unacceptable. Tang Cheng took a sip of coffee and listened carefully to the conversation between the two behind him, as time went by, Tang Cheng became more and more confused, why did these two people turn over and over just for the price, this seems to be a little wrong!
When Tang Cheng was suspicious, he saw a brown-haired man in a plaid suit get up and walk over, and after more than ten seconds, Tang Cheng figured out the identity of this plaid suit. The Plaid Suit is an Italian businessman who was going to meet people at this café, but he overheard Mike and Margaret talking, so he came up to him, hoping that he could get a piece of the pie.
Tang Cheng, who had been overhearing this moment, finally suddenly realized, because after the Italian appeared, the man and woman behind him immediately changed the style of conversation, and Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the man and woman were dancing with the immortals at all. Tang Cheng held back a smile and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation of the three of them, waiting for the American named Mike to get up and stand up, and then Tang Cheng took out the bill from his pocket and threw it on the table, grabbing the three out of the café before the three of them.
Walking out of the café, Tang Cheng suddenly found that he didn't seem to have any place to go, and going back to his residence at this time might only provoke Zhang Jianghe's questioning, not to mention that Tang Cheng was a little afraid to face the woman Zhou Hongxiang at the moment. Tang Cheng was standing on the side of the street in a daze, two men and a woman in the café walked past Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng vaguely heard the woman named Margaret talking in English about the warehouse, the goods and the like.
Since there is nowhere to go for the time being, it is better to go up and see the excitement, Tang Cheng frowned slightly, and then used his skills to lock on to the American named Mike, and followed the three of them far behind. The three people who walked in front of Tang Cheng obviously didn't expect someone to follow behind them, and it was not a very wise thing to follow foreigners in the concession. Tang Cheng mixed in with the flow of people, followed the three people in front of him aimlessly, and waited until the three of them walked into a small building on the side of the street, only to suddenly find that the arms dealer named Henry had lived in this street.
From this, Tang Cheng was even more convinced that the American named Mike and the Englishwoman were in the same group, and that the Italian was the target of their scheme. Tang Cheng didn't enter the small building on the side of the street, but waited quietly across the street, waiting for the Italian to be sent out by Mike with a smile on his face. Looking at the conversation between the two from afar, Tang Cheng guessed that the stupid Italian must have seen some of the goods, and according to the steps of the liar, the next step was the time for the man and woman to transfer the goods.
Sure enough, after seeing the Italian disappear around the corner, the American Michael immediately returned to the small building, and when he and the Englishwoman came out of the small building again, each of them carried a suitcase that looked a little heavy. Tang Cheng, who saw this scene on the other side of the street, secretly smacked his lips, if the suitcases in the hands of these two were filled with trauma medicines, it would be worth a lot of oceans.
Strangely, the foreign couple stood on the side of the street with suitcases, but instead of taking a rickshaw, they chose to take the tram. Tang Cheng did not hesitate, and also jumped on the tram, his dress as a rich kid squeezing the tram, but it attracted more attention than the pair of foreign men and women. The pair of foreign men and women carrying suitcases did not notice that Tang Cheng was following them, and they did not realize that Tang Cheng actually followed them all the way into the hotel.
"I know there is a batch of trauma medicines, are you underground party interested?" After determining the residence of the foreign man and woman, Tang Cheng immediately called a rickshaw to rush back to the residence, called Zhou Hongxiang to the study, and told Zhou Hongxiang about his inadvertent discovery of trauma medicine. "Drugs in the black market are getting more and more expensive, and most of the drugs traded in the black market will be monitored by the intelligence department and the special high school.
Tang Cheng's attitude made Zhou Hongxiang secretly surprised, this person seemed to wish he had gotten out of the house as soon as possible last night, but only one night had passed, and it was like a different person. "I contact my superiors first, this kind of thing, I have never been in contact with before, it mainly depends on the decision of the superior." Zhou Hongxiang didn't dare to accept the big package immediately, but just said that he would ask his superiors for instructions.
Tang Cheng didn't expect at this time that Zhou Hongxiang, who he mistook for the backbone of the Shanghai underground party, was actually not a member of the Shanghai underground party. After accompanying Zhou Hongxiang out to find a phone booth and calling, the rest was to wait patiently, but Zhou Hongxiang was a little worried that the pair of foreign men and women would leave the hotel early. In Zhou Hongxiang's anxious waiting, the superior's call finally came, and like Zhou Hongxiang's previous reaction, the superior also didn't expect Tang Cheng to give such a big gift.
In principle, the Shanghai underground party organization agreed to take down this batch of trauma medicines, but they did not agree with Tang Cheng's method of eating black and black, mainly because they were worried that it would cause misunderstanding of the underground party by the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the concession. "Fault, and I don't want to spend more money and want to get benefits, where in the world will there be such a good thing! You just say what you think, right? If you want it, I'll get it back for you, and if you don't, then I'll go back to sleep. Tang Cheng immediately showed his true colors as a single, and deduced a kind of unscrupulous responsibility in front of Zhou Hongxiang.
Zhou Hongxiang was very embarrassed in her heart, she knew how rare trauma medication was after a long time, especially in the Shanghai black market, trauma medication had been speculated to a very high price. At present, there is an opportunity to get a large number of trauma medicines, but the superiors have not made a decision for a long time, and Zhou Hongxiang is secretly anxious. Whether it is in the future or now, Tang Cheng is a woman who can't see a woman crying, seeing that Zhou Hongxiang's eyes are red because he is in a hurry, Tang Cheng has to choose to compromise.
"Forget it, you go home and wait, this matter, without the name of your underground party, I will handle it." Tang Cheng hailed a rickshaw on the side of the street to take the reluctant Zhou Hongxiang back to his residence, but he himself went straight to Hans to borrow a car, and then rushed to the hotel where the foreign man and woman lived. It turned out that Zhou Hongxiang's worries were unnecessary, and the foreign men and women would not easily leave the hotel until the prey was completely in the pit, because they needed to face the prey at any time.
For a few small denomination dollars, Tang Cheng obtained the information he needed from the front desk of the hotel. Knowing that the foreign men and women, who were pretending to be business rivals, were living in two rooms on the second and third floors of the hotel, Tang Cheng also opened a room on the second floor of the hotel, intending to squat in the hotel to take a chance. Time passed little by little while waiting, and it wasn't until it was almost time to eat dinner, when Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the room, suddenly heard the door on the opposite side open, and then a voice came from the voice.
Tang Cheng's door was not closed tightly, but there was a slight gap, so when Tang Cheng heard the sound of the door opening, he looked out through the crack in the door, and just saw the Englishwoman who lived on the third floor, who was standing outside Mike's door at the moment. Seeing the two people in coats closing the door and leaving, guessing that the two should have gone to Tang Cheng after eating, after waiting for the two to disappear at the corner of the stairs, they went out directly from the room, and used homemade **** to open Mike's door in a few clicks.
Tang Cheng saw the suitcase that Mike was carrying in the afternoon, and put it under the coffee table in the room, Tang Cheng just opened the box and took a look, and then left the room with the box. A few minutes later, Tang Cheng appeared on the 3rd floor of the hotel, and when he returned to the 2nd floor, Tang Cheng already had an extra suitcase in his hand. The two boxes were filled with trauma medicines, and even if Tang Cheng only took the medicines in the boxes, the weight would already exceed the weight of the carry-on bag.
So Tang Cheng went out to buy cigarettes or newspapers, went back and forth to the hotel empty-handed many times, and when everyone didn't expect it, he used his carry-on bag to quietly transfer all the medicines in the two boxes to the car borrowed from Hans. If it had been before, Tang Cheng would definitely have stayed and waited to see what the foreign man and woman would have looked like after they lost their medicine.
It's just that now, he is in a hurry to return to his residence, there are several kinds of medicines in the two boxes, although Tang Cheng doesn't know much about the market of trauma medicines, but he believes that Zhang Jianghe can definitely solve his doubts. It was only when he started the car to leave the street that Tang Cheng suddenly remembered one thing, Zhou Hongxiang cried on the street last night, because several contact points of the underground party in Shanghai were suddenly evacuated, and she thought that she had completely lost contact with the underground party.
But when he said that he had found a batch of medicines in the afternoon, Zhou Hongxiang easily contacted the superiors of the underground party on the phone, and Tang Cheng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have neglected some details. Thinking of the abnormal behavior of the men in black he met last night, Tang Cheng immediately had an epiphany in his heart, it seemed that he had been tricked by someone.
