The name James has a strong British flavor, but the man is a Frenchman from the ground up. It is said that his grandfather, James Sr., was an English pirate who later ran to Marseille under the blow of the British Empire's fleet and married a French wife named Lefovillena, so James's full name was James. Le Fou. It's just that when they arrived in Huaxia, the local people couldn't remember the name for so long, so they were all simplified to James.

Relying on the pirate genes in his bones and some inextricable links with the East India Company, James had an exclusive monopoly on the tobacco trade in the French Concession. Of course, there are some bigger people behind him, but in order to maintain his image, people push him out as a pawn.

A chess piece should have the consciousness of a chess piece, and James is also happy to play the role of this superficial scenery. At least it is a thousand times better than when he came to the Far East, he is respected everywhere, and he has never lacked money and beautiful women in his hands.

James got out of bed and alarmed the woman who was still asleep. It was a woman with an oriental face, jet-black hair, and bare shoulders, who raised her body slightly and looked at the man who was dressed on the ground, her face full of reluctance.

"Don't worry, beauty! Wait for me to go to the warehouse to have a look, and I'll be back right away if there's no problem, and you'll be waiting for me here obediently! ”

James said, put on his boots, took off the hat from the coat hook, bowed slightly, and turned out of the hotel room. What he didn't expect was that when the woman saw him go out, she quickly jumped out of bed, came to the window, and shook the bright red bandeau in her hand back and forth near the window. A driver on a rickshaw parked across the road saw the swaying bandeau on the third-floor window, nodded, pulled up the rickshaw, and ran quickly towards the main entrance of the hotel. After a short time, James walked out of the main entrance of the hotel, happened to see the rickshaw, waved his hand and sat on it.

"23 Foch Road, be quick!"

"Got it, sir, sit tight!"

The rickshaw pulled James along Xiafei Road and rushed forward, while James closed his eyes and recalled the Chinese woman he had just hooked up with in the bar, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he felt, and he couldn't wait to finish his work and go back again.

When the rickshaw stopped, James woke up from his dream, looked at his surroundings, and was furious.

"Bastard, what is this place? Didn't I ask you to pull me to 23 rue Foch? Are you blind or deaf? ”

The coachman sneered and didn't say anything, but a middle-aged man walked out of the dark alley, looked up at James on the rickshaw, and said politely: "Mr. James, is there something I want you to do me a favor for, I don't know if it can be convenient?" ”

James has been smuggling and selling tobacco and soil all year round, and he is very clear about this kind of Jianghu doorway, knowing that he accidentally got into a thief's car and fell into the hands of the underworld strongman. He wanted to pull out his gun to resist, but he didn't know that the two people didn't panic when they saw him pull out his gun, but stood there calmly, like two targets without dodging or dodging.

"Mr. James, are you sure you still have bullets in this gun?"

The question thrown by the middle-aged man suddenly reminded James of the black-haired woman, and after he quickly checked the pistol, he found that the magazine of the pistol that never left his body was empty, which could only scare and scare people, but it was not as lethal as the dagger in the hand of the middle-aged man opposite.

"I am a citizen of the French Republic, and if you dare to treat me like this in the French Concession, are you not afraid of being punished? If you let me go now, I'll act like it never happened! ”

"The dead duck has a hard mouth, come and drag him into the alley and teach him what it means to know current affairs!"

Soon, several men dressed in short clothes appeared from the darkness and dragged James into the dark alley. The sound of thumping fists to flesh was accompanied by the whimpering sound of being gagged by an unknown object, and after a short time, James, who was beaten and paralyzed, was dragged in front of the middle-aged man by the two men again.

"Mr. James, what are you thinking? Changed your mind? ”

Looking at the fierce light that flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes from time to time, James was really scared. In the past, those Chinese people were very respectful when they saw foreigners, or they could be said to be afraid. But from this middle-aged man, not only did he not see the slightest fear, but there was a kind of evil aura rushing in his face. If you refuse his request, maybe there will be no James in this world!

"Please, sir, don't let them hit me. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do! ”

The middle-aged man smiled smugly, beckoned, and a military truck drove over. Several people threw James into the back compartment like a dead pig, and a large group of people got into the car and quickly drove away. The rickshaw driver also turned around and went back to the hotel where he had just left, and picked up the woman who was waiting at the door of the hotel.

A kidnapping case happened quietly. One of the largest sources of poison in the French Concession is about to usher in a stormy attack.

23 rue Foch is a contiguous building. Counting from the periphery, the entire area reaches tens of thousands of square meters. As a den for drug possession and drug trafficking, it is heavily guarded, and there are light and dark guards with guns everywhere.

The people around don't know what this place is for, but everyone knows it. Looking at the fierce and vicious appearance of those people, the mysterious appearance of the gods, it is definitely not a good way. With an attitude of unconsciousness and respect, these surrounding people easily do not come here. So at night, this place is inaccessible and becomes a ghost land!

At night, the sky is divided by several rays of light that pierce the sky, forming a beautiful rainbow. However, this is really not a deliberate act on the 23rd in order to attract customers, but because of the huge cost of lack of confidence, which led to the change in the gap between the rich and the poor in this territory. The main thing is that the people inside the 23rd always want to nip the risk in the bud and do it deliberately.

The roar of a huge engine broke the long-standing silence near No. 23, and the sound alarmed the hidden guards, who poked their heads out of the hiding spot to wonder what was going on.

Two military trucks approached from one end of the road, shining their headlights to illuminate the neighborhood.

A guard stood in the middle of the road and raised his hand to signal the convoy to stop. More guards secretly raised their long and short guns, aimed at the convoy, and opened fire as soon as the situation was wrong. They also knew what was going on in the building behind them, and they were trained to shoot with impunity at the slightest abnormality.

The military vehicle with the head slowly stopped in front of the guard, and a figure poked its head out of the cab and scolded: "Blind your dog eyes, you don't even recognize Lao Tzu?" ”

"Zhan...... Mr. James? How are you? The guard was a little confused, and he stammered a little. If it were anyone else, he could use the excuse of duty to stop the convoy for inspection, but in the face of the owner of No. 23, although Mr. James was a little different from usual, he was just a guard, and he was not qualified to ask this and that.

"It's the boss who is here, it's okay, revoke the alarm, release people quickly!"

After the guard finished speaking, he quickly retreated to the side of the road and moved out of the way. The convoy continued on, along the asphalt road, slowly into the gate of No. 23.
