Chen Ting looked at Lei Ming and said with a smile: "Actually, you already have a count in your heart!" There are so many gunmen with outstanding marksmanship in the French Concession all of a sudden, it must not be our Qinggang disciples, otherwise we will definitely know.

Some time ago, in the French Concession, someone suddenly spread the news of Fu Yaozu's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country in the newspaper, and now he began to assassinate him, the situation is very clear, some people are killing chickens and monkeys, doing it for everyone to see, warning others not to take refuge in the Japanese, otherwise Fu Yaozu will end, look at it, Fu Yaozu escaped this catastrophe, and he can't escape the assassination in the future, and the other party will not stop. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ting stretched out his finger, nodded to the southwest, and said solemnly: "It was someone from Wuhan who did it!" ”

"Is it really someone from Wuhan?" Lei Ming's heart was shocked, at this time, after all, the Wuhan government is the orthodox official representative of the Chinese, and everyone is still in awe.

Chen Ting nodded and said again: "Some time ago, in the downtown area of Shanghai in Jiangbei, there were many assassinations of Japanese soldiers on the street, and even the Fukuoka warehouse, the largest military warehouse of the Japanese, was bombed, you know!" ”

Lei Ming nodded hurriedly, although he was in the French Concession, he had also heard of these things in the outside world.

"The military warehouses heavily guarded by the Japanese were even blown to the ground with guards, and the losses were extremely heavy, so now, on the river surface of the Yangtze River and the Huangpu River, the Japanese warships are still patrolling day and night, and the streets of downtown Shanghai are full of soldiers and police, such a big thing, except for the people of the Wuhan government, who else can there be, they must have left enough people in Shanghai, and then fight with the Japanese!" Chen Ting knocked on the table and continued.

"In other words, these people who committed crimes in Jiangbei entered our French Concession to hide in order to avoid the investigation of the Japanese because the wind in downtown Shanghai was too tight, and now they are eyeing Fu Yaozu and the Japanese?" Lei Ming confirmed again, after Chen Ting said this, everything would be explained.

Chen Ting nodded and said: "The matter is very clear, these people choose to do it on the street, so they have no intention of hiding their identities, they just want others to know the purpose of assassinating Fu Yaozu." ”

In this way, Lei Ming is a little embarrassed, if the people in the Qing Gang move, he can also communicate through various means, warn the other party to restrain a little, and everyone just save a little face.

Now he is an agent of the Wuhan government, and he can't speak, but the French consulate, after all, is his top boss, and if the matter is big, he can't explain it.

Chen Ting naturally knew Lei Ming's dilemma, he smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, the French have left us, how to manage such a large concession, it is not impossible to delay it, but you can know this case, you must not trace it too much, if you really find their hiding place, they will definitely attack you, isn't it fast for relatives to bitter enemies?" ”

When Lei Ming heard this, he couldn't help but nod again and again, and hurriedly said: "I understand, I'll just make a show, it's better not to interfere in these things." ”

The French consulate and the Japanese side negotiated many times, and although the consulate promised to track down the murderer, it was up and down to deal with it, and the matter was naturally closed in the end.

And the next day, the major newspapers in the concession published the assassination of the cotton tycoon Fu Yaozu, and the people arranged by Huo Yueze revealed the identity of the Japanese envoy Masaki Hasei in the newspaper, and once again pushed Fu Yaozu to the most eye-catching position, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while!

Everyone in the concession was talking about it, and many big newspapers saw that the public was so interested in this news, so they simply added fuel to the fire, and soon, Fu Yaozu was already a notorious traitor in the concession.

The various industries under his name were boycotted, and many companies involved in the cotton trade began to move, entering the market to grab the share of Fu Yaozu's company, which made Fu Yaozu, who was already anxious, even worse.

"Smack!" The sound of broken glass sounded again, another glass was broken, and Fu Yaozu, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a blue face, pointing at Manager Tian who was standing in front of him, extremely annoyed!

"It's all some waste, do you want me to take care of my business on crutches?" Fu Yaozu scolded angrily.

Manager Tian looked at it and hesitated for a moment, so he had to answer stiffly: "Sir, we really can't cope with it now, these are your partners for many years, and you still have to greet you in person." And there's ~"

Seeing that Manager Tian was hesitant, he asked again: "What other bad news?" If you have something to say, say it! ”

Manager Tian replied in a low voice: "The bodyguards we hired before, there are also a few who say that they don't want to do it anymore and want to leave, I am trying my best to persuade them, but the effect is not great, in this case, the security force in your family is not enough, in case that group of people come by force, it will not be safe here!" You need to hurry up and figure it out! ”

In the past few days, public opinion in the outside world has been one-sided, all of them are voices condemning Fu Yaozu, and even the leaders of the Green Gang, who have a dominant position in the concession, are also dissatisfied with Fu Yaozu's behavior of collaborating with the enemy.

When Fu Yaozu heard this, his brain was dizzy, it seemed that the seriousness of the situation was far out of his control, and even his own home was no longer safe.

"Then pay a high price and invite some bodyguards to come back, and that Xu Yongchang still refuses to agree to come back?" Fu Yaozu asked eagerly.

Manager Tian shook his head and said helplessly: "I have already looked for him, he said that the old injury had recurred, and he said that he was unwilling to come back." As for finding bodyguards at a high price, there are good players who will use guns and sticks on the beach in Shanghai, which is not a disciple of the Green Gang, if those leaders have the intention to stop it, we can't find a good hand to come back at a high price, so we can't pull a few croppers back to make up the numbers! ”

As soon as Fu Yaozu heard this, his face changed again, he hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said: "It seems that in the concession, we are the wall falling down and everyone pushing us, becoming rats crossing the street, and now we can't even save our lives, so I will simply pull down my face, let's go to Jiangbei, leave the concession and go to the city, we go to the Japanese, I am still useful to them, they will not ignore me." ”

Broken cans and broken pieces, Fu Yaozu had been forced to this point, so he didn't care about it, but when Fu Yaozu picked up the phone and called according to the phone number that contacted Masaki Hasei before, he quickly put down the phone with an inexplicable face.

Manager Tian hurriedly asked, "What?" The Japanese have changed their minds? ”

Fu Yaozu shook his head dejectedly, and said softly: "They don't allow me to go to the city, let me stay in the French Concession, what they want is the materials in the French Concession, and once I leave, there will be no use value." ”

"But we~"

"But they say that someone will soon come to protect us and support us in continuing to buy supplies!" Fu Yaozu's eyes rolled, and finally looked at Manager Tian, and said in a surprised tone, "The Japanese actually bought Lu Laosan, I really didn't expect it!" ”

Lu Laosan's big name is Lu Tianqiao, he is the big boss of the Green Gang, and he is also one of the leaders of several Green Gangs, he was competing with Yue Sheng for the top spot, but he withdrew because of his poor strength, since Yue Sheng left Shanghai, Lu Tianqiao began to jump out, and used all his strength to prepare for the position, during this time, to Yue Sheng's old department, he was fighting and pulling, and the small ones were directly annexed, and the strong ones were smashed with a lot of banknotes and pulled over, so the strength quickly swelled, and now he is the most powerful boss in the Green Gang, seeing that he was about to take Yue Sheng's seat.

Such a person was also co-opted by the Japanese, Fu Yaozu couldn't believe it, if this was the case, he had the support of the Green Gang in the concession, then he didn't have to be afraid of anything!

Manager Tian was also completely stunned by this news, the Qing Gang was resolutely anti-Japanese during Yue Sheng's reign, and his disciples sacrificed their lives for the country, and they did not hesitate to go to the country.

But in just a few months, Lu Tianqiao was about to change his course and sell himself to the Japanese, this change was too big, people couldn't accept it for a while, and even Fu Yaozu felt a little incredible.

But the Japanese said very clearly, soon Lu Tianqiao will send someone to protect his safety, and in the future acquisition operation, escort him, at that time, with the power of the Green Gang, who else dares to refuse to do business with him?

The more Fu Yaozu thought about it, the more excited he became, now that he had Lu Tianqiao's support, with the power of the Qing Gang disciples, he could easily find out the group of people who assassinated him and solve the immediate priority, otherwise he would not dare to go out in the future.

At this time, in the residence of Lu Tianqiao, the boss of the Youth Gang in the French Concession, Lu Tianqiao was also instructing his disciple Zhao Rong: "You take twenty people and go to Fu Yaozu's house to protect this kid, the Japanese want to protect him, and they can't reach into the concession, so we can only take action." ”

"Master, now everyone knows that Fu Yaozu has something to do with the Japanese, and we will put it on the bright side when we make a move." Another disciple on the side, Luo Zidong, couldn't help but say with some hesitation. Luo Zidong is Lu Tianqiao's most powerful assistant and disciple, resourceful and careful, and Lu Tianqiao relies on him a lot.

Lu Tianqiao patted the handle of the chair, stood up, took a few steps in the room, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to set out the carriage and horses so soon, I originally wanted to wait for the overall situation in the gang to be settled, but the Japanese are urging it, and I can't help it, who told us to take the benefits of others!" ”
