Chapter Ninety-One: Risk
Ya Ming Xuan is an antique two-storey Chinese building, looking at it from a distance, a pair of four-corner banners fluttering in the wind, and a non-real and non-grass word "tea" on it is extraordinarily wafting out of the dust.
On both sides of the door, there is a couplet of "sit please sit on the tablet, tea toast tea and fragrant tea", with the antique decoration style, everywhere reveals a strong Chinese flavor.
Geng Chaozhong looked around, and there was no car stopping, it seemed that Liu Yiban had not arrived yet - of course, the exhaust pipe was blocked, and it always had to be delayed for some time.
Crossing the threshold more than six inches high, entering the inside, crossing the small bridge and flowing water, climbing the stairs, turning into a small private room, Geng Chaozhong asked for a pot of tea and sat there quietly.
He had given up on sniping—there were no suitable spots nearby, and escape was a big problem—and he had become aware that there were at least seven or eight secret sentinels around the teahouse.
It seems that Zhang Haogu has made full preparations for prevention.
There is not much time left for me, there are 10 minutes at most, and Liu Yiban will definitely come - even if it is walking, it is time to arrive, not to mention, Liu Yiban may also change to a rickshaw.
I can't hesitate any longer, it's a big deal!
At this time, Zhang Haogu was sitting in the private room on the second floor of Ya Ming Xuan, sipping the fragrant tea in his hand, quietly waiting for the arrival of Liu Yiban. At the top of the stairs is the most trusted bodyguard Ding Sansheng.
After a while, the door was pushed open, Ding Sansheng walked in, came to Zhang Haogu's side, bowed his head and whispered:
"There's a guy named Yoon Dazhu outside the door who wants to see you."
Zhang Haogu's eyes shrank suddenly.
"Let him in and do a careful search."
A moment later, a man in a long robe and a top hat walked in with a placket and a birdcage in his hand, looking like the second ancestor of the cat and dog on the street.
As soon as the man entered the house, he first placed the birdcage on the table, then opened the base of the birdcage, pulled out a large, tightly bandaged cowhide envelope from underneath, took out a piece of gold bar from his sleeve, and then pressed the gold bar on top of the envelope and pushed it over.
"You're not bold."
Zhang Haogu said coldly.
"The Japanese dare to kill, and their courage is naturally not too small. I heard that Zhang Ye has suffered a heavy loss in stocks, so you gave a gold bar as a greeting gift. ”
With a cold and humble smile on his face, he spoke.
Zhang Haogu stared at the person in front of him without blinking - he had only seen Geng Chaozhong once, and he couldn't tell if the person in front of him was Geng Chaozhong.
"Open the envelope and take a look."
The person who came said calmly, the humility on his face and the arrogance in his words formed a sharp contrast.
Zhang Haogu took out the envelope from under the gold bar, opened it, and saw that there was a red covered document with a bunch of strange foreign characters written on it, and under the certificate, there were more than a dozen colorful foreign tickets.
Zhang Haogu's eyes straightened all of a sudden!
This is exactly the bond of your dreams!
"The bonds of old Germany, worth 100,000 oceans, are enough to cover the loss of your financing at the Jincheng Bank. But it doesn't matter, the document above is the one that will be more useful to you. ”
Zhang Haogu's heart sank, few people knew about his loan in Jincheng Bank, how did this guy know? Even the amount is not bad at all!
Zhang Haogu opened the red cover of the document, and all the materials were available except for the photo.
"What is this?" Zhang Haogu couldn't help asking.
"Soviet Union, Cheka, intelligence correspondent in the Far East." The tone of the person who came was as cold as ever.
"What do you mean?"
There was a little more respect in Zhang Haogu's words, and he kind of understood.
"To put it simply, we Cheka have taken a fancy to your resources in the island city, and in exchange, we are willing to help you get rid of the Japanese control and provide you with personal protection. Take this document, you are our Cheka people! Even the government of the Republic of China will not dare to touch you easily! You know, in the Northeast, we have an absolute advantage! The commissioner surnamed Cao sent by the government of the Republic of China has already agreed to all our conditions, and the two countries will resume diplomatic relations again in the near future! ”
The person who came, that is, Geng Chaozhong, stared at Zhang Haogu's eyes tightly.
It's a risky move!
As Zhu Fatzi said, only by clarifying what the other party really needs can you completely control the other party!
What Zhang Haogu needs most is undoubtedly to get rid of the control of the Japanese, and for this, he can abandon some things outside his body, such as bonds.
However, this is also a gamble, what if Zhang Haogu wants it all?
Zhang Haogu's face, which has always been unwavering, also began to show waves.
This person clearly knows his background, bank information, and his whereabouts - you know, it took less than ten minutes to come to Yamingxuan this morning, and the other party found this place accurately, which is not something that ordinary organizations can do!
In other words, your every move is under the watchful eye of the other party!
Zhang Haogu's back was a little cold.
"I'll tell you the truth, the trestle shooting was the work of our people, and no kidding, if we wanted you to die, you would have died long ago. In addition, don't play the idea of bonds anymore, it has already arrived in Yantai yesterday afternoon, and now it has probably arrived at the Soviet garrison in the northeast! ”
Geng Chaozhong continued to strike while the iron was hot.
The Red Party gunner on the trestle is actually Soviet, no wonder!
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Haogu's forehead, and his fingers tapped on the table quickly, as if he had been taking the test for a long time.
At this time, Ding Sansheng pushed the door again and walked in, and said:
"Master Zhang, Section Chief Liu has arrived."
"You go and arrange a room next door, and say I'll go over right away." Zhang Haogu replied without hesitation.
Ding Sansheng walked out.
Zhang Haogu stretched out his hand and touched his forehead.
This is another big decision in my life!
The advantage of switching from Japan to the Soviet Union is that the Soviets will not control themselves as tightly as the Japanese, and the disadvantage is that they will only get out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth! It's just that what the Soviets want is nothing more than some political and economic intelligence and some foreign policy decisions of the national government, and the Japanese want too much, intelligence, money, and life!
The lesser of two evils!
Don't even think about bonds!
If it is Geng Chaozhong, he can still rob it openly; If it is Liu Yiban, he can also negotiate; But if it's a Soviet, then you only have your own hands to give!
Zhang Haogu suddenly pushed back the bonds on the table.
"I don't know what to call you, I accepted the greeting gift, but I can't ask for the bond."
Since you are determined to take refuge, how can you show your insatiable appearance!
Besides, with the Soviets covering themselves, the freight routes in the Far East will be easily opened, and in just three years, 100,000 oceans will be able to return to their original capital, so why be a villain at this time?
I'm so old, and my eye sockets aren't so shallow!
There was a look of admiration on the face of the person who came - 100,000 oceans, but not a person can say that he doesn't want it.
"Alright! Mr. Zhang, you deserve to be the leader of the underground world of Island City! Afford to put it down! As for my name, it doesn't matter. ”
"It's just," Zhang Haogu hesitated on his face, "The one who knows my identity is Ono of the Qingshan Mansion, I need you to ......"
"No problem, just find a chance to ask Ono out, and we'll help you kill him! From now on, you will leap with the fish, and the sky will be high and the birds will fly! ”
