Chapter Seventy-Six
Tang Cheng paused slightly, picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea before continuing. "There are many gangsters in Nanjing, and these gangs have always been a cancer of the country and society, and nine out of ten gangsters are people who can be killed. Since your underground party organization is not afraid of sacrifice and dares to break into the state government departments, you can also send people to break into the gangs, or use the means of the underworld to establish a new gang. Seeing that Xu Zixi seemed to have something to say, Tang Cheng immediately made a slightly calming gesture.
"Boss Xu, this is where you are short-sighted! Do you know? My special investigation team once conducted a preliminary investigation into the gangsters in Nanjing, and found that there were more than 20 gangs of all sizes in Nanjing, and there were seven or eight of them that could be ranked, and these gangsters alone handled at least more than 500,000 yuan in money and goods every year. Your underground party organization must have been strapped for money, right? Knock out these gangsters and replace them, and your funding problems will be solved immediately. ”
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the government was forced to move south, and the military intelligence department would be greatly expanded into a military command, because of the performance of the gang members in the Battle of Songhu, the military commander would recruit more gang members to join. If the Nanjing underground party organization establishes a new gang at this time, it may be able to seize the opportunity in the expansion of the military intelligence department, and it will be better to enter the military command as a gangster in the future than it is easy and safe to rack their brains and look for opportunities to infiltrate the military intelligence department as they are now.
Xu Zixi obviously didn't realize this, he was still immersed in Tang Cheng's remarks about the gangsters just now, if he could really solve the organization's funding problem by controlling the gangsters, Xu Zixi's heart was a little impatient. The bookstore fell silent for a while, Tang Cheng silently sipped tea, while Xu Zixi was immersed in thinking, suddenly, the bell at the mouth of the bookstore rang, and Xu Huanshan, who had left the bookstore for an hour, came back, followed by a person, this person was Zhou Hongxia who Tang Cheng was looking for.
"Miss Zhou, let's meet again? It seems that you didn't take my last warning to you to heart!" As soon as he saw Zhou Hongxia, Tang Cheng's originally calm face immediately showed a trace of coldness. Seeing this, Xu Huanshan immediately stepped forward to block Zhou Hongxia behind him, for fear that Tang Cheng would suddenly burst out and hurt Zhou Hongxia. Xu Huanshan's movements were a little unexpected for Tang Cheng, and with a grin, Tang Cheng got up from his seat and stood up.
"Miss Zhou, since you were brought back by your own people, I want to come to me, and he has already told you. Now in front of these two, I warn you again, don't contact my sister Tang Juan in the future. If I find out that you or your people contact my sister Tang Juan again, I will regard your underground party as an enemy, and at that time, it will definitely be you who will regret it, don't challenge my patience again. Tang Cheng stared at Zhou Hongxia without blinking, and warned the other party again.
"Tang Juan is already an adult, and she has the right to pursue freedom and ideals." Zhou Hongxia had already been warned by Xu Huanshan with a black face before entering the bookstore, but as soon as she saw Tang Cheng's triumphant face, the anger that was suppressed in her heart couldn't help but explode. Tang Cheng did not immediately retort, but looked at Zhou Hongxia with a slightly suspicious expression, what this woman said just now almost made Tang Cheng feel that this woman was also from the next generation.
After a few breaths, Tang Cheng, who had come back to his senses, winked at Zhou Hongxia before he opened his mouth and smiled. "Miss Zhou, Tang Juan is my sister, what kind of life should she live in the future, if she wants to come to me as a younger brother, she should have more say than you. The kind of ideals and freedom you just talked about are not what my sister needs to consider at this stage, what she needs to think about most now is to survive, and to live well in this troubled world. As he spoke, Tang Cheng turned to look at Xu Zixi, and said to the other party in a slightly heavy tone.
"Boss Xu, we had a very pleasant chat just now, as a thank you, I can give you a message for free. The Japanese should have been making war plans, whether it was Shanghai or Nanjing, they would be the targets of the Japanese. Half a month ago, we captured a large number of Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing, although I don't know what the military intelligence department asked from the mouths of these Japanese spies, but I personally seized a large number of arms from the two hiding points of these Japanese spies, especially ** and medicines. ”
"If the Japanese intelligence agencies only sent intelligence agents to infiltrate and infiltrate the city of Nanjing, they would only carry radios and a small number of melee weapons. The munitions we found were infantry combat weapons used in regular troops, and the ** they had in reserve were enough to blow up any gate in Nanjing. Tang Cheng didn't tell Xu Zixi and the three of them the important details, but even so, Xu Zixi and the three of them were already stunned by the news that Tang Cheng said.
Glancing around at Xu Zixi and the others, Tang Cheng smiled, "If I were you, there should be two aspects to consider at this stage. One is how your organization can quickly withdraw from Nanjing, which requires an evacuation plan in advance, so that once the war really breaks out, it can reduce the unnecessary losses of your organization. If the war really happens, your underground party organization should immediately spread the news, and how many people in the city can live depends on the two plans you have formulated in advance. ”
"If you know these things, why can't you work with us?" Xu Huanshan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, Tang Cheng turned his head and glanced at the other party when he heard this, and looked at Xu Huanshan's expression, as if he was not lying. As if sensing the deep meaning in Tang Cheng's gaze, Xu Huanshan continued, "Zhongtong is very strict with us, and what you just said, we can't take care of it at all. ”
"That's your underground party's own business, and it has nothing to do with me at all." Tang Cheng shrugged at Xu Huanshan and said. "This news is only my own summary and calculation, whether it is accurate or not, I can't say it myself. I'll tell you, just because it's nice to look at you, and as for other things, I can't help it. Tang Cheng immediately pushed 369, but with a spread of his hands, he directly rejected Xu Huanshan's idea of wanting to join forces.
Seeing that Zhou Hongxia was still staring at herself angrily, Tang Cheng, who was already about to leave, immediately stopped and turned to Zhou Hongxia. "Miss Zhou, I know you're dissatisfied with me, but there's nothing you can do. Tang Juan is my sister, and after my father died, I was the pillar of the family. So, I have to be responsible for everyone in my family, and at the same time, I have to protect them well. I don't want my family to be implicated in all kinds of troublesome things, I can understand the ideals and freedom you just said, but my Tang family is not suitable to participate in these things. ”
Seeing that Zhou Hongxia didn't seem to understand what she said, Tang Cheng had no choice but to patiently explain again, "Miss Zhou, as I told you last time, my father was a member of the Military Intelligence Department, and although he was martyred in the capture of Japanese spies, my family has already been branded with the traces of the Military Intelligence Department. In order to support my family, I made an agreement with the Military Intelligence Service, and my special investigation team did preliminary work for the Military Intelligence Service, specifically for them to search for Japanese agents lurking in the city, so that I could be regarded as carrying the shadow of the Military Intelligence Service. ”
"Miss Zhou, please use your brain and think about it, even if my sister is persuaded by you to join you, and through her, I have been developed into a nail wedged into the military intelligence department by you. Not to mention that I don't want to engage in cannibalism, but how can people like us in a family situation get through your so-called screening activities? I don't want to work for you and be secretly shot in an unknown place by a so-called Kuomintang bitch. ”
"Now, you see what I mean, right? From the very beginning, when I knew who you were, I didn't think about working with you. So, Miss Zhou, please don't look for my sister in the future. My patience is limited, and if the last bit of patience is worn away by you, what awaits you will be my wrath and revenge, which you absolutely do not want. Tang Cheng smiled at Zhou Hongxia and then turned around and walked out of the bookstore.
"Lao Xu, what should we do now?" Zhou Hongxia, whose face was difficult to see, looked up at Xu Huanshan, among the three of them, Xu Huanshan's position was the highest. Zhou Hongxia didn't expect Tang Cheng's reaction to be so intense, she asked Tang Juan out on her side, and Tang Cheng directly found the Red Leaf Bookstore, if she really didn't care about telling Tang Juan the truth, maybe Tang Cheng would really turn against the organization.
Xu Huanshan, who had a brief contact with Tang Cheng, was not very comfortable at the moment, and Xu Huanshan was not unaware of Tang Juan's actions. Like Zhou Hongxia, Xu Huanshan also didn't expect Tang Cheng to behave so domineering and fierce, judging from the information collected by the organization, this Tang Cheng is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. Zhou Hongxia asked what to do next, and Xu Huanshan didn't know what to do, but now, what he was thinking about was whether the Red Leaf Bookstore should move a place first.
"I think the bookstore doesn't need to move the place, he has already told us very clearly, as long as we don't pester Tang Juan, he is willing to do not interfere with our well water. Judging from my previous contact with him, he is still very particular about his person, and he should not do anything that goes back on his word. Xu Zixi has different opinions, and the relocation of the bookstore is by no means as simple as he says, rash actions, who may not cause suspicion and investigation by the agents of the Central Union.
