Chapter 32: Preparing to Leave

The arrogance and conceit of the special high class made them misjudge the number of attackers, and Tang Cheng, the initiator, would still be hidden in the night, under the pretense of the idea of the car. It is not an easy thing to snatch a car in the Shanghai concession, after all, those who can afford to sit in a car are not rich or expensive, even if they are gangsters entrenched in the concession, under normal circumstances, they will not have the idea of playing a car in the concession.

But Tang Cheng is not an ordinary person, and his idea of hitting this car is not to take it for himself, but to borrow this car to transport Brian's body. Time passed minute by minute, and the driver in the cab of the sedan did not get out of the car, and he had guessed that the sedan parked outside the dance hall was here to pick up people, so Tang Cheng would rather continue to wait than do it immediately. It's just that Tang Cheng's waiting also has a limit, he can't just wait forever, and after a little thought in his heart, Tang Cheng walked out of the shadows where he was hiding.

There were many pedestrians outside the dance hall, and the car Tang Cheng saw was parked on the left side of the dance hall door, and on the right side of the dance hall door, there were several rickshaw drivers waiting for work. Tang Cheng, who left the dark place, did not walk straight towards the car, but crossed the street more than ten meters away from the car, and after being on the same side of the street as the car, Tang Cheng stopped on the side of the street. However, he only paused for a moment, and then slowly followed the passers-by and strolled towards the car.

There's a big neon sign at the entrance of the ballroom, and the shops around it also have neon signs, so as long as Tang Cheng is close to the car, there's nothing to hide. But just after Tang Cheng took a few steps forward in a row, a sudden palpitation suddenly surged into Tang Cheng's heart, and Tang Cheng, whose face suddenly changed, immediately stopped, and turned around and walked back without pause. This feeling of palpitations had been felt by Tang Cheng before, and Tang Cheng never doubted his premonitions.

Tang Cheng, who was crossing the street, was originally going to hit the idea of the car, but his hunch told him that the car could not be touched. Sure enough, before Tang Cheng, who had turned around and walked back, completely disappeared into the night, there was a sudden commotion in the dance hall behind him, and Tang Cheng faintly heard a few gunshots. Bad thing! Suddenly hearing the sound of suspected gunshots, Tang Cheng, who was still walking steadily, couldn't care about that much, and while his pace accelerated, he also took out a pistol from his carry-on equipment bag and carried it in his hand.

With screams and shouts, the originally well-dressed dancers rushed out of the dance hall in a panic, causing even more commotion outside the dance hall. At this time, Tang Cheng had already returned to the alley across the street, and at this moment, with the help of the shadows, he was standing sideways in the alley, observing the situation on the other side of the street. A man in a suit, surrounded by two bodyguard-looking men, also came out of the dance hall and went directly into the car that Tang Cheng had observed before.

A few minutes later, several Concession Patrol Meteors appeared at the door of the dance hall, and Tang Cheng saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately turned around and disappeared into the alley. I thought I was here to find a car, but I didn't want to almost get into a trouble, so I walked to Tang Cheng, who was on the other side of the alley, and secretly wondered if he was unlucky today. Tang Cheng's luck was actually not bad, he was lucky enough to avoid a trouble, and soon found a car in another street, and the process of transporting the body was also very smooth, which made Tang Cheng secretly relieved.

"You did the Kaile Ballroom thing last night?" When Tang Cheng saw Hans again the next day, Hans did not ask about the shoe store at the end of the street first, but went straight to the point and asked Tang Cheng about the Kaile Ballroom. Kaile Ballroom? Tang Cheng, who was stared at by Hans, didn't react for a while, and said that he had been to Shanghai several times, but he had never been to a place like a dance hall, but he looked at Hans's expression, and it didn't seem like he was joking with himself.

Tang Cheng's stunned made Hans react immediately, it seems that what happened in the Kaile Ballroom last night should have nothing to do with Tang Cheng. "Last night, there was a shooting at the Kaile Ballroom two blocks away! I said inside the patrol room that it was a young man who shot it, and my first reaction was to think of you. But depending on your reaction, what happened at the Kaile Ballroom last night shouldn't have anything to do with you. Hans's explanation made Tang Cheng cry and laugh, daring to love this question just now was simply deceiving himself!

When Tang Cheng heard this, he immediately shook his eyes at Hans, "If you ask me about something in the future, why don't you just say it!" But let's make one thing clear first, when did you see me go to the ballroom? You think I'm a lonely old man like you! Tang Cheng rolled his eyes just now, and he didn't let Hans do anything, but at this moment, his last sentence made Hans almost lose his breath, what is called a lonely old man!

"Say it! Why did you come to me so early? Hans seemed to have forgotten what Tang Cheng had told him the previous night, and he put on a serious face with a straight face. As he spoke, Hans suddenly remembered the incident he had entrusted to Tang Cheng last night, and when he looked at Tang Cheng again, he was indifferent, and he did not look angry because of his pretense. Tang Cheng's bland reaction made Hans feel relieved, and looking at Tang Cheng's expression, Hans felt that what he said last night might have been resolved.

Under Hans's gaze, Tang Cheng slowly stretched out his hand and made a gesture to count the money at Hans. "I do things, you should rest assured! Unfortunately, the shoe store owner was too tight-mouthed and I didn't have much time, so I didn't ask for anything useful. However, he is indeed a member of British intelligence, and as for why the shoe store opened on this street, only the devil knows! Tang Cheng didn't tell the truth, the information he copied from Brian's memory was still somewhat useful.

Knowing that the trouble had been lifted, Hans was relieved, and having dealt with British intelligence, he knew that those British guys were difficult to deal with. It's just that he didn't expect that Tang Cheng would help him solve this trouble in just one night, and now that he thinks about it, it's a little incredible. The remuneration was agreed in advance, and he had already given half of Tang Cheng, and now that the trouble had been solved, Hans would naturally not withhold the remaining half of the remuneration for no reason.

Another box of gold bars arrived, and Tang Cheng, who had been busy for half the night, was very satisfied. As for whether Brian's disappearance would trigger the actions of the British, he didn't care at all. "Hans, I came to you today to tell you that I may be back to Chongqing in the next few days. I can give you full authority to deal with our batch of medicines, and when you get the money, you can send someone to send me to Chongqing!" "Tang Cheng originally planned to secretly hand over the part of that batch of medicines, which belonged to him, to the Shanghai Station of the Military Command or the Shanghai underground party organization.

But after careful consideration last night, Tang Cheng decided to dismiss this idea, in case the batch of medicines went wrong after he left Shanghai, Hans might be able to get the news from the black market, and thus find out about his relationship with the underground party. What he can give to the Shanghai underground party is not only medicine, for example, these gold bars that he has now obtained from Hans can also be secretly given to the Shanghai underground party to buy medicine and materials.

Tang Cheng has already begun to arrange to leave Shanghai, and Zhangjianghe, who is far away in Chongqing, is facing a trouble at the moment. To be precise, this trouble did not come from Chongqing, but from the military headquarters in Wuhan. As the war has developed to the present situation, the upper echelons of the national government have concluded that Wuhan is about to become the main target of the Japanese army's attack, and according to the current situation of the national army, Wuhan may be difficult to hold onto. Many people in the upper echelons have secretly transferred their assets and family members to Changsha and Chongqing, including high-ranking officials at the command level of the Military Command Headquarters.

At that time, when Tang Cheng was carrying out the Strike Hard Operation in Chongqing, he deliberately set aside part of his real estate in a prime location to hand over to Zhangjianghe, in case after the relocation of the Military Command Headquarters to Chongqing, the high-level officials of the Military Command Headquarters and some of Zhangjianghe's old friends lacked housing. Before Tang Cheng left Chongqing, he also specially reminded Zhang Jianghe, but Zhang Jianghe didn't pay attention to it at the time, and now it seems that if Tang Cheng hadn't taken precautions and prepared in advance, the trouble might have been even greater.

The trouble Zhang Jianghe is currently facing is that some people are eyeing the Tang family's properties in Chongqing, to be precise, the small street that the Tang family occupies in Shapingba. The small street that the Tang family spent a lot of money on has been carefully renovated and has now become the center of the surrounding neighborhood. Just renting out the rent of all the shops in the small street is enough for the Tang family to live a long and prosperous life, which is also the main reason for being targeted. Zhang Jianghe's home is also placed in this small street, and he naturally can't sit back and watch someone plot to seize the small street.

In just one week, there were no less than 20 lobbyists who came to Zhangjianghe to inquire about the news. What really worried Zhang Jianghe was not the matter of the small street, an old acquaintance of the Military Command Headquarters had just sent a message to Tang Cheng, saying that someone at the Military Command Headquarters was talking about the situation and wanted Tang Cheng, who was stranded in Shanghai, to help the Shanghai Station assassinate an important target of the Japanese army in Shanghai. The current situation in Shanghai is confusing, and the Shanghai station has been suppressed by the special high school to the point that they dare not leave the concession, in this case, someone at the military command headquarters asked Tang Cheng to replace the Shanghai station to carry out the assassination, Zhang Jianghe knew that such a task was almost the result of nine deaths.

Yu Gong, Tang Cheng is not a direct officer of the military command, Yu Private, Tang Cheng is Zhang Jianghe's son and nephew, and Tang Cheng's father is still a martyr. Zhang Jianghe originally thought that the message sent to him by his old friend would not be approved by the bureau, but he didn't expect that just a day later, his old friend who was far away from the Wuhan headquarters sent a message again, saying that the headquarters had passed this order. In other words, the bureau has already made an order, which cannot be changed, and Tang Cheng must complete this assassination operation for the Shanghai station.
