"Tell me, how much does it cost?" After Chu Jiao finished teasing her brother, she looked like she was rich, raised her head with her chest straight, and looked at her brother arrogantly.

Chu Tian blinked, he didn't expect his sister to be so generous, and he didn't expect his sister to be so rich, but then he felt relieved, and stretched out two fingers with a smile.

"Two hundred dollars?" Chu Jiao deliberately showed a look of surprise and waved her hand generously, "Then what are you worried about, the money will be in place today." ”

Dani smiled happily and touched Chu Tian with her arm.

Chu Tian couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out and nodded at Chu Jiao, "Gillian, don't make trouble." That's $20,000! ”

Wow! Chu Jiao opened her mouth wide, then leaned back in the chair, and habitually turned her hair again.

"This-" Chu Tian felt that he should not embarrass his sister too much, so he eased his tone and said, "Daini and I can find a way to make up 10,000, you see-"

Chu Jiao's fingers stopped, looked at the old brother slyly, suddenly laughed, and said, "Teasing you!" Isn't it just $20,000, and I'll make it up for you in three or five days. Big deal, I sold the dealership. ”

Chu Tian hurriedly shook his head and said, "The car dealer can't sell it, and my father will definitely not agree." ”

"I'll figure it out, and if you don't sell it, you don't have to worry about it." Chu Jiao was confident, picked up the drink and took two sips, and said, "Then it's decided, I'll go and raise it." ”

"That-" Chu Tian raised his hand, stopped in mid-air and took it back, feeling that it was unnecessary to ask his sister again, others were richer than himself, and it seemed that 20,000 dollars was not a problem at all.

“Bye_bye!” Chu Jiao got up, hugged Dani gently, then took the bag in one hand and beckoned to the elder brother casually with the other, which was regarded as a farewell.

With the figure of Chu Jiao leaving, Dazong Cangming did not retract his gaze until he watched Chu Jiao get in the car and drive away, with a complicated expression.

"Looks like he's rich." When the zygote came back from the bathroom, she happened to hear the last words of Chu Jiao and the others, she sat next to Dazong Cangming, and said quietly: "She went to raise money, and she wanted to lend his brother 20,000 US dollars to do business." ”

Dazong Cangming looked up at the zygote, frowned slightly, and said, "Twenty thousand dollars, this is not a small amount." ”

"But she was full of confidence, and said that she was going to sell some car dealership." Zygoko pursed her lips slightly, "It turns out that he is still a small boss!" ”

Dazong Cangming stared at the zygote for a long time before lowering his head, silent.

…………….

Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was not without warning, and it could even be said that war clouds were thick.

However, no one expected that war would suddenly come in such a form, and that the Japanese plaster flag would be planted all over East Asia in a very short time.

That is, the Anglo-American government, as well as the diaspora, had anticipation of war. Otherwise, the United States would not have withdrawn all the Marines from Shanghai, and Britain would not have withdrawn its troops stationed in China.

Historically, in the second half of 1941, the British and American diasporas began to gradually evacuate, and women, children, and insignificant people took ships to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Manila.

Compared with the British and American diaspora, the Chinese evacuation from Shanghai has not stopped.

Whether they are angry at the occupation of the land by the Japanese devils, or worried about the security situation in Shanghai, or lack of confidence in the development of business in Shanghai, celebrities and wealthy people have chosen to relocate, and Hong Kong is undoubtedly the first choice.

Chu Xiongfei is also prepared for this, and all the deposits are transferred to Citibank, and some shop deals are also looking for opportunities.

It's just that Chu Xiongfei's favored place of refuge is Hong Kong, not the United States, which wants to cross the ocean and thousands of miles away.

Therefore, Chu Xiongfei was cautious about Chu Tian's investment and operation in the United States, and did not readily agree. This is also the reason why Chu Tian wants to borrow money from his sister.

How much Chu Jiao's net worth is, even she doesn't know. There may be a lot of cash, but it is difficult to estimate the gold and silver, diamonds and jewelry.

Besides, Shen Chen has been secretly attacking these things. For example, Manager Chen's cousin, as well as Mr. Du through Wan Molin, also sold a lot of stolen goods in Hong Kong.

In any case, $20,000 is not too difficult for Chu Jiao to raise.

said that it was three or five days for the elder brother, and Chu Jiao didn't want to be too conspicuous, so she deliberately delayed for some time.

Back at the car dealership, Chu Jiao called Shen Chen. Because Shen Chen opened an account for her and kept depositing the money from the sale of stolen goods.

In the evening, Shen Chen used the excuse to repair the car, went to the car dealership to meet with Chu Jiao, and gave her the account.

"It's almost 50,000?" Chu Jiao looked at the deposit receipt, showing a smirk like a wealth fan, and her mouth didn't close for a long time.

Shen Chen stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, this look was too much, he really couldn't look past it.

Chu Jiao came back to her senses at this time, coughed embarrassedly, sat up straight, and said, "I'll take 20,000 yuan, and the deposit slip will be placed with you." ”

"What do you want money for?" Shen Chen asked casually.

Chu Jiao told her brother's plan and said, "Isn't this very good. My brother went to the United States, and my father's mind may be able to change. ”

Shen Chen nodded, pondered for a long time, and said, "That Shen Lily, what do you think?" ”

Chu Jiao was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?" What do you mean? ”

"You said that she has strong comprehension ability and learns quickly, did she know it before, and she has a foundation?" Shen Chen looked at Chu Jiao and said, "In ordinary contact, do you feel that she is abnormal?" ”

Chu Jiao blinked, frowned slightly, and said, "You doubt her?" I don't think there's anything wrong with her, but learning quickly means she's smart, and it's not suspicious, right? ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "I don't just suspect her, there are a few. Mainly from the timeline analysis, do you think that from the layout plan to the latent success of the school, should it be within two years? ”

Chu Jiao thought for a while and said, "To be precise, it's about a year and a half. Judging from the time when we got the information, it is doubtful that if we push it forward by one year and then push it back by half a year, it is doubtful that this time period will enter the school. But what if the original students of the school were secretly arrested and defected? ”

Shen Chen didn't say that there were five or six people locked by his sixth sense, which was not convincing.

"I've also investigated in this area, and there are a few suspects." Shen Chen paused and continued: "You don't have to contact the school much recently, even if you meet students, don't show anything unusual, I'll do the rest." ”

Chu Jiao nodded hesitantly and said, "There are still more than three months before the end of the year, and the spy must be found during this time." Otherwise, on their way to the rear, they may be caught and killed by all the devils. Rather than that, it is safe to stay in the concession, albeit temporarily. ”

Shen Chen nodded lightly and said, "There should be enough time, I have already thought of a way, test them one by one, and I should be able to see the flaws." ”

Chu Jiao lowered her eyelids, thought for a while, and reminded: "If you need to cooperate, Zhao Youcai, Zhang Chengfu and I can help." ”

"If I need you, you're welcome." Shen Chen stood up and walked out.

………….

Shen Chen originally wanted to send him to Nanshi to smuggle some weapons and ammunition after giving the dog some urgent training, so as to carry out a major operation.

But Ma Mingyu and others assassinated Lu Ying, and the Japanese puppet police and spies in Nanshi not only strengthened their vigilance, but also arrested the murderer.

In this limelight, Shen Chen didn't want to take risks, so he left the dog behind, just so that he could train for a few more days.

In these days, the dog has regarded Shen Chen as the most trustworthy big brother and the master who needs respect the most.

Therefore, Shen Chen also knew about Xiaoping.

It happened that his sister's family had moved away, so Shen Chen gave the dog time to go to Nanshi, persuaded Xiaoping's family to move over, and led the dog to see the house in Shikumen.

gave the dog two days off, and Shen Chen began to work on his big action. He didn't call Chu Jiao, worried that she was already being targeted, but took Cao Yixin with him.

At the time of the establishment of the puppet regime, the appearance of secret staff of the secret service of the Nanichi Garrison clearly demonstrated the close relationship between various Japanese intelligence agencies and the puppet regime.

The "island of Shanghai" immediately became a safe haven for spies, intelligence agents, and spies, just like Casablanca or Lisbon during the war.

In Shanghai, the Japanese secret services were roughly divided into seven sections: economic, political, intelligence, propaganda, finance, construction, and general affairs.

But this was only one of several Japanese intelligence agencies in Shanghai, and when the heads of intelligence agencies representing different departments such as the Japanese Consulate, the Shina Shimbun, the Japanese military, and the gendarmerie gathered in a Japanese club on Wenjian Shilu to coordinate their actions, more than 20 leaders were usually present.

In terms of high-level political intelligence work, the most dynamic of these secret agencies was the well-known Mei Agency, the secret service organization of the Japanese army in East China.

The most important counter-espionage and covert activities in Shanghai were carried out by the secret services of the Japanese gendarmerie, whose headquarters were located in the Xinya Hotel on North Sichuan Road in the Hongkou area.

As elsewhere in China, it was the Japanese who continued to take advantage of Chinese gang organizations and always demanded long-term cooperation with the underworld forces.

They believe that this is also the best way to guarantee control over the foreigner areas of Shanghai.

Because, once they were able to mobilize the power of these gangs, they would be able to cause unrest, harass the police, arrest anti-Japanese elements and government representatives, attack government banks, courts, and anti-Japanese newspapers, and destabilize China's currency.

This meant that they could control the concession area of Shanghai by simply being occupied by hooligans rather than by force. The weapons used by the Japanese to protect the cooperation of gang members with them were opium and gambling.

The number of refugees in Shanghai swelled dramatically, and the business of the Japanese secret services in cooperation with gang figures was very successful, and the wealth was lucrative.

Therefore, Hongji Shan Tong decided to hold a 2nd anniversary celebration ball at the Lido Ballroom, which was attended by more than 1,000 guests.

Since it was not easy to act in Nanshi for the time being, Shen Chen set his sights on the Lido Ballroom, wanting to deal a heavy blow to these shameless traitors.

But after Cao Yixin finished her work, she was not in a hurry, and wandered around the concession with Shen Chen, who was dressed up, and tasted the romantic feeling.

Before you know it, the rickshaw turns under an arch into an avenue.

Shen Chen saw the name of the road, Morley Love Road, he looked around, the shops were marked with the name of the shop in French, and a French sailor wearing a hat with a red machine gun pattern swaggered through the market.

The rickshaw stopped in front of a shop, and the driver gasped slightly, spit out a stream of white mist, and said to Cao Yixin: "Madam, this is the perfume shop, very famous, and your lady comes here to buy it." ”

Cao Yixin nodded and got out of the car.

Shen Chen shook his head slightly, handed the wallet to Cao Yixin, and said, "I'm smoking a cigarette outside, and it's probably not allowed inside." ”

"Okay, I'll be out soon." Cao Yixin smiled slightly, turned around and entered the store with Little Peach.

She wanted to buy a gift for a friend so that she and Shen Chen could be invited to be a guest.

Shen Chen lit a cigarette and walked back and forth slowly.

Not far from the shop was a long, narrow house with green walls, the door of which was open, and several women stood or sat on the porch, staring at him with strange eyes.

A strong white Russian man came out of the porch, with a censorship, arrogant look in his eyes, and asked in a calm and dull voice: "Portuguese, Filipino, Chinese, Japanese girls, all very clean, which one do you want?" ”

Shen Chen frowned, a wave of disgust rose in his heart, he shook his head, quickened his pace and walked back quickly.

The rickshaw driver, who was also waiting, looked at Shen Chen with a strange expression, and introduced it in a wordy manner: "It is also very famous there, if you want to go, just tell the coachman about the green house in the concession." ”

Shen Chen rolled his eyes, and he didn't even bother to say "no".

The coachman shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a look of disbelief.

Soon, Cao Yixin walked out and raised an antique small bottle in her hand at Shen Chen.

The so-called celebration ball is still a few days away, and the Lido Ballroom is open for business, which gives Shen Chen and Cao Yixin the opportunity to smuggle weapons in.

Bringing it in is not the goal, hiding in the ballroom is part of the plan of action.

In later movies, it is often seen that a certain agent walks into a heavily guarded place and then takes out a weapon in the toilet tank or other hidden places.

Shen Chen's approach was the same, pistols, magazines, and bombs were all hidden in a few days. By the time the day of the celebratory ball, he could swagger in empty-handed.

As for the invitation, this is not a problem for him at all, even if it is too late to grab it on the same day.

And Cao Yixin did whatever she wanted, never asking Shen Chen's origins, not asking about Shen Chen's relationship with the "Blood Flag Gate", and not asking if he had done the previous assassinations.

Although she knew that these conjectures were almost true, but Shen Chen didn't say it, and didn't hide it from herself before acting, why shouldn't she be interested?

It's just that Shen Chen didn't agree to take her with him on the day of the operation.

The reason is simple, Cao Yixin is not an action-oriented agent. Although he was also trained, he was not good at it, and the two did not cooperate, so it was inevitable that something would go wrong.

Cao Yixin also understands this, she is really not good at acting, and she may become a burden when the time comes, but it will pull Shen Chen's hind legs.
