Chapter 206: Accidental Assassination
After Ying Zuo Frame Zhao left, Ye Tufei collected the mercenaries and immediately went to Ji Xiaohai.
After listening to Ye Tufei's reminder, Ji Xiaohai was silent for a long time, and at the end, he sighed and told Ye Tufei the truth: "More than a month ago, a Japanese man came to me and wanted to do a tobacco restaurant business in the public concession with me, Xiaofei, you know your Uncle Ji's temper, how could I touch the tobacco business?" And it's a partnership with a Japanese! So I sternly rejected the Japanese. I thought that those Japanese ronin were hired by the Japanese who was in the tobacco business, so I didn't take them seriously.
After that night, I suddenly thought of a question, you said that you can have such a deep background as a businessman who does tobacco and soil, and even the public concession has to give him three points? Also, is it worth going so far to make such a big deal for the sake of the tobacco business? As soon as you say this now, I will fully understand, Xiaofei, do you know what kind of business our cousin is in charge of in the Green Gang? ”
Ye Tufei thought about it, under Ji Xiaohai's name, it seemed that there were only a few gambling stalls, and there was no other business.
Ji Xiaohai didn't expect Ye Tufei to answer, he glanced at Ye Tufei, and continued: "In the early years, our Green Gang was also called the Cao Gang or the Grain Boat Gang, and what we ate was a waterway, don't look at our Green Gang's business now, there are more ways to make money than the water transportation business, but no one dares to lose the industry left by our ancestors easily." Although it is the hardest and most tiring job in the waterway business, it is also the most important. ”
Ye Tufei was not familiar with water transportation, so he could only remain silent and listen to Ji Xiaohai quietly.
"This boat is different from a car, driving to see the road, there is a pit on the road or something, you can see it clearly at a glance, but the boat is different, you don't know what is under the water, without our hall, the boat doesn't want to go ashore!"
The word navigator popped up in Ye Tufei's mind, and he immediately understood how the Green Gang had firmly controlled the water transportation business for hundreds of years, and even the official family had to cooperate with the Green Gang, and one of the most important factors was the familiarity of the Green Gang brothers with the various wharves on the waterway. Of course, no one dares to say whether the Green Gang has done something in these docks.
Ji Xiaohai sighed and said: "Two years ago, the national army and the little Japanese had a bloody battle in Shanghai, and after the little Japanese won the war, they talked to me and asked me to fully open the dock to the Japanese. I'm a grandmother, can I help the Japanese to deliver supplies to fight our country? In the past two years, they have coerced and lured me, and it seems that now they can't help it and want to have a direct showdown with me! ”
After listening to Ji Xiaohai's words, Ye Tufei understood that Ji Xiaohai was a member of the public concession, and the public concession was the territory of Britain and the United States, and the Japanese could not sit on the lord of Britain and the United States, so they could not help Ji Xiaohai. Therefore, they used the Black Dragon Society to deal with Ji Xiaohai with rogue ruffians like Japanese ronins, and wanted to force Ji Xiaohai to give in to them.
"Then, Uncle Ji, you are in the light, others are in the dark, you have to be careful!"
Ji Xiaohai waved his hand and laughed loudly: "You don't have to worry too much, how about they can take my old bones?" It's a big deal, I'll just hide back in the countryside! ”
Ye Tufei said: "It's always good to be careful in everything, Uncle Ji, the insidious and vicious little Japan is on the bright side, they don't care about any moral rules, as long as they can achieve their goals, they can do anything." ”
Ji Xiaohai nodded, and he agreed.
Stunned, Ji Xiaohai suddenly asked, "Xiaofei!" How did I hear that you were going to work for Zhao Ming? That Zhao Ming ......"
Ye Tufei interrupted Ji Xiaohai and said, "Uncle Ji, I know what you have to say. However, no matter what you say, I can't answer you a word, and I won't listen to you, so ah, don't ask, I can only say one thing to Uncle Ji now, Ye Tufei will never do anything that violates the gang rules! ”
Ji Xiaohai was stunned for a few seconds before he nodded and said, "I believe in you!" Since you also have a hard time, then Uncle Ji just asks. ”
The two talked some more gossip, seeing that it was not early, Ji Xiaohai also showed tiredness, and Ye Tufei got up and said goodbye.
Walking out of Ji Xiaohai's mansion, there was a light rain in the sky, once it rained in Shanghai's winter, it would make people feel very wet and cold, that kind of cold was cold from the inside out, Ye Tufei couldn't help but shiver.
It was this trembling moment that Ye Tufei suddenly felt a strange feeling, this strange feeling seemed to be dangerous, and it seemed to be being watched.
Ye Tufei turned his head and glanced at Ji Xiaohai's mansion, where Ji Xiaohai's family and nearly twenty Qinggang brothers lived, if the people of the Black Dragon Society were ready to attack Ji Xiaohai, they would have to use guns, otherwise it would be difficult to succeed. Shooting in the public concession, Ye Tufei thought that the people of the Black Dragon Society were not so bold.
Besides, what the Japanese want for Ji Xiaohai is his ability to control the docks, not Ji Xiaohai's life, so this danger should not be directed at Ji Xiaohai.
Since he didn't go to Ji Xiaohai, then there was only one possibility, the person who gave Ye Tufei this strange feeling was coming for Ye Tufei.
Who could it be?
Ye Tufei stopped, he needed to carefully observe the terrain and feel the situation.
At this time, it was late at night, and it was drizzling, and the road was already a rare sight. Behind Ye Tufei is Ji Xiaohai's mansion, in front of which is a straight road, and on the left and right sides are lush trees and green shrubs.
Ye Tufei intuitively judged that those people were lying in ambush behind the trees or shrubs on both sides, and the number should not be less than ten.
If the weapons of these more than ten people against themselves were all guns, then Ye Tufei would never have a chance to escape.
Now, Ye Tufei has not yet entered the other party's ambush area, and he still has a chance to choose, for example, he can pretend that he missed something and return to Ji Xiaohai's mansion.
But if this is the case, then there is no way to know who the other party is, and in the future, Ye Tufei will inevitably live in danger, and he doesn't know where this danger comes from.
Ye Tufei really wanted to figure out these problems, so he needed to judge whether the other party was using a gun or a cold weapon, if it was a gun, then he could only return to Ji Xiaohai's mansion.
So, Ye Tufei squatted down, pretending that the shoelaces were loose and needed to be re-tied.
When he squatted down, Ye Tufei picked up a few small pebbles on the ground, and when he stood up again, he used the momentum of his body as a cover to shoot the few small pebbles in his hand towards the shadow of the tree on one side.
'Poof'...
'Poof'...
'Bang'...
Most of the stones hit the leaves or clearing, and one or two hit the thicker trunks with such force that they shook the trunks and dropped droplets.
However, the opponent was well-trained and did not be frightened by Ye Tufei's temptation, and after a few sounds, there was still silence all around.
The calmness of the opponent made Ye Tufei more cautious, he trusted his instincts, his instincts were not innate, but cultivated in countless dangerous experiences, and were exchanged for bleeding and injuries again and again.
Ye Tufei took a deep breath, and he realized that the opponent he faced tonight was the strongest opponent he had faced in the past few years. The best hunter is not the most accurate marksman, nor the fastest, but the most level-headed. He will make full use of the environment, make full use of the psychology of his prey, and wait for the most favorable moment to come, in order to hit with one blow.
Undoubtedly, the opponent Ye Tufei faced belonged to this kind.
At this moment, Ye Tufei suddenly realized that even the choice of returning to Ji Xiaohai's mansion was likely to be sealed by the opponent.
The enemy's purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to trap Ye Tufei and then wait for him to make a mistake.
Retreating back to Ji Xiaohai's mansion is likely to be the opportunity for Ye Tufei to make a mistake that the enemy is waiting for.
Since he can't retreat, and staying where he is will only be restrained, then Ye Tufei only has the only choice left, which is to rush forward.
After making up his mind, Ye Tufei's body flickered, first retreated a few steps backwards, and then twisted his body and threw himself towards the trees on the side of the road.
When observing the terrain, Ye Tufei empathized and determined that the direction he pounced on was the most favorable node to connect the two ambushes before and after, and the enemy leader would definitely choose this place as a hiding point to direct the operation.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as he can get the opportunity to fight close to the enemy leader, then Ye Tufei has the possibility of retreating.
Ye Tufei's body shook at the same time, he had already taken off his shirt, it was impossible for him to carry a weapon when he went to see Kenji Dohihara at night, and he was in a hurry to see Ji Xiaohai afterwards, and he forgot to bring an inch of iron ruler wood, so at this time, he could only improvise and take off his shirt as a weapon.
Ye Tufei's impromptu reaction really came in handy, just as Ye Tufei pounced on the shadow of the tree, a ray of light shot out from the shadows, and went straight to Ye Tufei's front door.
Ye Tufei shook his wrist, twisted the shirt in his hand into a bundle, and rolled up the cold light.
'Jingle Bell'......
The hidden weapon was swept away and landed on the road in the distance, and Ye Tufei also pounced on the birthplace of that cold light.
A masked man dressed in black and dressed as a nocturnal walker greeted him.
The masked man was holding a short sword, the tricks were simple, but the speed was extremely fast, and the tip of the sword went straight to Ye Tufei's lower abdomen. Ye Tufei waved the clothes in his hand and slapped the masked man's face door, forcing the masked man to change his moves or dodge.
But the masked man suddenly shrank and rolled on the ground, dodging Ye Tufei's clothes, and a sword light still pointed at Ye Tufei's lower abdomen.
This move was very strange and unexpected to Ye Tufei, but Ye Tufei was experienced in the battle, reacted very quickly, and suddenly exerted his left foot, and his body fell to the right, which was able to dodge the strange sword of the masked man.
