Chapter 70: Untitled
After sending Bai Zhanshan away, Tang Cheng finally came to his senses, and the purpose of daring Bai Zhanshan to come tonight was not to value his own skills in assassinating Kenichi Yamamoto, but to collect the channels and abilities of Kenichi Yamamoto's relevant information without the help of Shanghai Station. "You're not stupid! I thought you'd have to figure it out tomorrow morning!" Zhang Jianghe stretched out his hand and pointed at Tang Cheng, who was crying and laughing, but at the same time, he was secretly surprised by Tang Cheng's reaction ability.
After all, Tang Cheng is just over 18 years old, and being able to react in such a short period of time is not bad among the young people Zhang Jiang and the young people he has seen. Tang Cheng, who was teased by Zhang Jianghe, was not angry, but while nesting in the sofa and cocking Erlang's legs, he picked up the cigarette on the table and lit one, "Uncle Bai's mind to climb up is getting heavier and heavier, that adult in Nanjing is not a good person, and he is not having a good time at this level." ”
Zhang Jianghe also nodded in agreement with Tang Cheng's point of view, "When Bai Zhanshan was in the army before, he was quite upright in his work, but after he was transferred to the intelligence department, he was like a different person. I don't know if I'm fascinated by the world of flowers in Nanjing, I don't see how good my work is, and I just want to climb up one day. However, a person like him, in a place like the Intelligence Department, may not be able to suffer. ”
Zhang Jianghe's words were very vague, but when he heard it in Tang Cheng, he almost directly said that the intelligence department was a place to hide filth and dirt. Tang Cheng pouted disappreciatively, and then smiled at Zhang Jianghe, "Uncle, don't be sentimental, I'm confused when I just came back, how did Uncle Bai find here?" Tang Cheng mistakenly thought that Zhang Jianghe took the initiative to contact Bai Zhanshan, but Zhang Jianghe glared and smashed the half-pulled apple in his hand.
"You kid, am I such an ignorant person? You borrowed this place from a friend, why should I tell Bai Zhanshan? Zhang Jianghe, who was misunderstood by Tang Cheng, stretched his face, but there was no impatience in his eyes, and he was just joking with Tang Cheng at first glance. Tang Cheng dodged to avoid the apples smashed by Zhang Jianghe, and only smiled in his mouth, and he was not angry at Zhang Jianghe's scolding.
Zhang Jianghe said that he did not take the initiative to contact Bai Zhanshan, so Bai Zhanshan suddenly came to the door tonight, because he secretly investigated himself in advance, or secretly sent someone to follow him. But Tang Cheng dispelled the second inference in a blink of an eye, it was absolutely impossible to be able to spy on himself without being discovered. Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in the sea of Tang City, that's right, he also reminded Bai Zhanshan to use the Qing Gang's way to find that Yuan Cheng, but he didn't expect that Bai Zhanshan could also use the Qing Gang's power in the concession to investigate his foothold in the concession.
"Uncle, do you think I'm a little stupid?" Telling Zhang Jianghe the doubts in his heart, Tang Cheng's face showed a look of chagrin. When he regarded Bai Zhanshan as a fool, he didn't know that in the eyes of the other party, he might also be a big fool, and when he thought of this, Tang Cheng couldn't help but grind his teeth secretly. Now that he has finally come to his senses, when he wrote the word Qingbang on the table, Bai Zhanshan looked up and instantly showed a look of surprise, not because he was awakened by himself, but deliberately made that appearance to hide the true thoughts in his heart.
Tang Cheng's frustrated words made Zhang Jianghe slowly hide the smile in his eyes, and after coming to Shanghai from Tang Cheng, he had already given himself too many surprises. Bai Zhanshan's sudden arrival tonight, he didn't react for a while, after Bai Zhanshan left, he only understood Bai Zhanshan's general intention tonight, listening to Tang Cheng say this at the moment, Zhang Jianghe understood that Bai Zhanshan's sudden arrival tonight should have other meanings.
"The assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto, he said that it was an order personally issued by the one in Nanjing, and I can't refuse, and the people at the Shanghai station can't do it, not that no one else can do it." Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows, and a hint of fierceness slowly appeared in his eyes. "I didn't expect him to come here, I guess he should have used the power of the Green Gang in the concession, so his move to come to the door tonight was with a threat in it. But why would he do it? After all, the Intelligence Service uses me in many places, and I don't have to turn to the Intelligence Service for help. ”
Tang Cheng's analysis is not unreasonable, but Zhang Jianghe does not agree with his inferences, "Xiao Wu, you take it for granted, people who do intelligence work are not only ruthless, they can even betray friends who have been friends for many years when necessary. I have already said before, Bai Zhanshan has changed now, after all, you have done what Shanghai Station can't do, if Bai Zhanshan has always wanted to climb, he is indispensable to such a capable subordinate as you. ”
Zhang Jianghe's words made Tang Cheng subconsciously reach out and rub his nose, and after a while, Tang Cheng continued. "Are you saying that Bai Zhanshan's actions tonight, Yuan Cheng is just a pretext, but the actual purpose is to put a halter on me? I don't think it's reliable! Before I came to Shanghai, I had three chapters of the law with your director, and he didn't even become the head of the operations section, so why did he ignore the director in Nanjing? ”
Zhang Jianghe wanted to say that Tang Cheng was still too young and didn't understand the changes in people's hearts at all, but if he thought about the temperament of those directors in Nanjing, it seemed that what Tang Cheng just said seemed to have some truth. "Anyway, I can't live here anymore, I'll find Hans tomorrow to find a way to live in another place. I don't believe he can find us once, and he can find a second time, if there is really a Green Gang interfering in this matter, I don't mind giving the Green Gang a warning. ”
The assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto has proved Tang Cheng's reach and ability, and he can get out safely in the search and arrest of a large number of gendarmes and plainclothes agents, and Zhang Jianghe is no longer worried about Tang Cheng. "By the way, how did you come back with that Miss Zhou upstairs?" As if he suddenly remembered, Zhang Jianghe opened his mouth to ask Tang Cheng about Zhou Hong's makeup. Zhang Jianghe was worried that Zhou Hongxiang would collide with Bai Zhanshan, so he asked Zhou Hongxiang to take the opportunity to escape from the back door of the kitchen by taking advantage of the stairs on the other side to escape from the back door of the kitchen.
It's just that Zhang Jianghe didn't expect that Zhou Hongxiang not only went and returned, but also came back with Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng knew that this was Zhang Jianghe testing himself, and Zhou Hongxiang was a member of the Shanghai underground party, which was already a matter on the surface, but Tang Cheng didn't want Zhang Jianghe to know that Zhou Hongxiang was deliberately brought back by himself. "I bought cooked food at the shop at the corner of the street, and I happened to meet Miss Zhou at the door, and she told me that someone from the house had arrived. Her purse is still here, and you should return it to her tomorrow. ”
Tang Cheng's answer was plausible, and he listened to a lot of words, but in fact, he didn't say how she met Zhou Hongxiang at all. Tang Cheng's slippery hand did not leave his hand, which made Zhang Jianghe speechless, but an idea also faintly rose in his heart. The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, and listened to Tang Cheng carefully explain the whole process of assassinating Kenichi Yamamoto, Zhang Jianghe didn't say much, but just asked Tang Cheng to do such a thing again in the future, and be more careful.
Thinking back to the process of being surrounded and pursued by the gendarmes, Tang Cheng himself was secretly glad at the moment, if he hadn't made a quick decision at that time, desperately pretending to be a gendarme, and getting into the truck transporting the corpse, maybe he would have been caught by the special high school. But now there is no need to ponder this, after all, he has successfully escaped from Hongkou District, as long as he returns to the concession, even if the special high school has found useful clues, there is no way to take himself.
"What did you do about what Bai Zhanshan said tonight?" When he was about to go upstairs to rest, Zhang Jianghe suddenly turned the topic back to what Bai Zhanshan said, Tang Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this, to be honest, he really didn't want to have any entanglements with Bai Zhanshan, especially about the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Department.
"Then what else can I do, people have come to the door, if I promise not to do it, when we return to Nanjing, the intelligence department will definitely use this to make things difficult for us. Let's change our residence tomorrow, and then wait for the news from Bai Zhanshan, and then deal with the specific situation on a case-by-case basis. Tang Cheng's face showed an impatient expression, and he said in his heart, Master, I am not a jack of all trades, so I can't do everything!
Zhang Jianghe wanted to say his idea, but seeing that Tang Cheng already had his own plans, Zhang Jianghe also responded a few words indiscriminately, and then turned around and went upstairs to rest. Zhang Jianghe left, only Tang Cheng himself was left in the hall, just when Tang Cheng lit a cigarette again and looked down in contemplation, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, Tang Cheng looked up, just in time to see Zhou Hongxiang coming down from upstairs.
Zhou Hongxiang, who was only wearing pajamas, had obviously been waiting for a while, and saw that there was only Tang Cheng himself downstairs, so he came down from the second floor. Tang Cheng knew that this woman must have something to say to him, but he preemptively spoke, "You know who I am now, right?" The famous intelligence department, is it scary? But don't get me wrong, I'm just helping the Intelligence Service with something, but I'm not on their staff. ”
Bai Zhanshan and Zhang Jianghe's voices are not small, if this woman has not been sleeping, but hiding upstairs and eavesdropping, it is likely that she has heard something. Tang Cheng simply didn't hide it, and directly said his relationship with the intelligence department, looking at Zhou Hongxiang's expression and reaction at the moment, it seemed that his guess just now was not wrong.
The underground party is inseparable from the unification of the Central Committee, but Zhou Hongxiang also knows the intelligence department, after all, the intelligence department is also the intelligence agency of the national government. "Now that you've been able to climb over the wall, it means that you're almost recovering from your injuries, and if you're going to say you're ashamed to be in the company of people like us, then you don't have to waste your saliva, because I don't care. If you want to leave, you can do it at any time, and I won't stop you. ”
