Chapter 12: The Tycoon Eats Deflated
No one expected that the ugly duckling who didn't look amazing was actually the daughter of a bank tycoon, Mu Yichen was overjoyed, Chen Zikun couldn't help but look at Emily a few more times, the girl couldn't help lowering her head, and the freckles on her face were clearer because of the flush.
Jian Bing and Yao Yilei glanced at each other, and they were secretly worried in their hearts, this little foreign girl didn't have a crush on Chen Zikun.
Mrs. Kim said, "Yes, Mr. Aba Burnell is the president of the Hillman Bank in Boston, and he will definitely be able to help." β
Chen Zikun understood when he heard the surname Aba Burnell, it turned out that Emily was the daughter of a Jew, and Jews have always been known for their shrewdness, not to mention that this Mr. Aba Burnell had funded the presidential campaign, worked as a diplomat, and was a banker, and he was also a member of American high society. β
Emily squirmed, "Just call me Emily." β
Jian Bing and Yao Yilei glanced at each other again, confirmed their suspicions, and became deeply worried.
However, after all, opening a foreign bank is not an overnight thing, it takes time and energy to register with the Ministry of Industry Bureau, contact the source of goods with the United States, and organize loan funds.
"I'm going back to the U.S. next week, and I can help the general get around if he wants to." Emily said.
Chen Zikun didn't believe that Emily was a little girl with this ability, but after thinking about it, she didn't lose anything anyway, so it was better to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so she smiled and said, "Then there is Lao Emily." β
Emily was excited: "I won't let you down." β
The dinner ended in a happy and cordial atmosphere, and after sending the foreigners away, Chen Zikun asked Li Yaoting worriedly: "Zhang Xiaolin will definitely not give up, otherwise we will strike first and kill him." β
Li Yaoting was taken aback, and said in his heart that my brother is still ruthless, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai, you say that if you die, you will die, when Zhang Xiaolin is an ordinary little deflated three, but think about it, I also offended Zhang Xiaolin, if I don't get rid of him, I will definitely go against myself everywhere in the future, and I can't live this life.
"Okay, give me a few days to explore Zhang Xiaolin's whereabouts and try to support him once." Li Yaoting said ruthlessly.
Chen Zikun said: "There is another big matter, you can help Jianbing do it." β
β¦β¦
Three days later, Mu Yichen completed the registration documents, the United States Springfield Foreign Company, the office is located in the Sassoon Building, his work efficiency was appreciated by Chen Zikun, and he was given 5,000 oceans for office expenses, the purchase of tables and chairs, the recruitment of clerks, as soon as possible to put up the shelves of the foreign bank.
Mu Yichen went with confidence, and Li Yaoting followed in and whispered a few words to Chen Zikun.
"Gather the men and bring them all." Chen Zikun was murderous.
After the last incident, Zhang Xiaolin was extremely angry, and vowed to get back this field, but Chen Zikun has been hiding in the public concession and it is difficult to start, so he has to plan to wait for him to leave Shanghai before making a move, the killer and weapons have been arranged, everything is ready only to the east wind.
Boss Zhang, like most of the white-faced people in Shanghai, lives a comfortable life of wrapping water in the morning and water in the afternoon, and the teahouse and bathroom are the places he goes to most often, because Zhang Xiaolin lives in the French Concession, and those bags inquire and patrol are his disciples and protΓ©gΓ©s, so there is no need to worry about safety, but recently, in order to prevent the enemy, he came out and went in a car with a curtain, and he also brought four bodyguards with loaded guns just in case.
On this day, Zhang Xiaolin was about to go out to talk about business with a friend, but suddenly the wife of the family and his aunt quarreled, which made him angry, and asked the monk to discipline his wife and concubine, and asked the driver to take the friend to the teahouse first.
When the car drove out of Zhang's Mansion and arrived at Xiafei Road in the French Concession, suddenly several big men rushed out of the shops on both sides, spitting out a long tongue of fire with machine guns in their hands, and the bullets hit the car like raindrops.
By the time Annan came over with a siren, the German Mercedes sedan had been beaten into a sieve, and the driver had been hit by more than ten bullets and died on the spot.
The patrols recognized this from the license plate number that this was Zhang Xiaolin's boss Zhang's car, and immediately reported to their bosses, the most comfortable for the French Concession Police Department is Cheng Ziqing, the head of the Political Department, he himself is a disciple of the Green Gang, and he is familiar with these gangsters, and when he learned that Zhang Xiaolin's car was ambushed, he immediately rushed to the scene to check it out a little, and he knew it in his heart.
This is not the handiwork of the ordinary underworld, Shanghai Tang gangs gather, private fights are commonplace, but most of them are killed with cold weapons or shot on the street, according to the bullet casings left at the scene, more than 200 bullets were fired, this is an assassination, this is a war.
It was Zhang Xiaolin's car that was beaten into a hornet's nest, and now in the rivers and lakes, who dares to argue with Boss Zhang! Thinking of the recent incident of Boss Zhang walking in the wheat city in the Jubao Teahouse, the murderer is about to come out.
Cheng Ziqing rushed to Zhang's Mansion and personally informed Zhang Xiaolin of the case, when Zhang Xiaolin heard it, cold sweat came down, and before he could do it, people would have made the first move, if it weren't for the quarrel between his wife and concubine, today next year would be his anniversary.
"Ziqing, I know who did this, and this revenge will not be avenged!" Zhang Xiaolin gritted his teeth and said.
Cheng Ziqing said with a smile: "Boss Zhang is angry, it is better to settle the grievances, it is not interesting to fight back and forth, besides, the people do not fight with the officials, you may not know Chen Zikun's background very well, it is really not good to come with him." β
Zhang Xiaolin was furious: "Talking nonsense, isn't it just a little brigade commander, and he dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head and pinch him to death, which is just a matter of gossip." β
Cheng Ziqing said: "Chen Zikun is not a small brigade commander so simple, as far as I know, he was a member of the revolutionary party a long time ago, doing a blood-spattered five-step business, and then somehow joined the military circles, won the favor of Wu Peifu, and was a fierce man who single-handedly broke the 100,000 army of the Anhui system, and had the title of the first general in the direct line. β
Zhang Xiaolin said: "Could it be that this person solved it?" β
Cheng Ziqing said: "It was he who went up the mountain alone to rescue the meat ticket, and he was born in the United States, so this gentleman has a lot to do with the relationship between Britain and the United States, and even the minister and consul sell him face." β
Zhang Xiaolin gasped, he never dreamed that the other party's origin was so big, it was just a big one, and the shot was so ruthless, the bullets were splashed like no money, not only killed the driver, but also beat a brand-new Mercedes into scrap metal.
"Ziqing, according to you, this revenge can't be avenged?" Zhang Xiaolin stroked his head, looking unwilling.
Cheng Ziqing said: "If you want to report it, you have to solve it once while he is still in Shanghai, otherwise when he returns to the station, he will send a wave of killers to find your bad luck every three or five days, even if the patrol room can protect you for a while, it can't save a lifetime." β
Zhang Xiaolin can get to this point today, it is not all about being able to fight, there is still some little wisdom, he was not angry mainly because he looked down on the other party, but now I heard Cheng Ziqing say that Chen Zikun is not only a famous general in his direct line, but also has a very good relationship with Britain and the United States, and a heart of revenge is cold.
The underworld can be beaten, but it is compared with the common people, compared with the soldiers, who can fight, who is more ruthless, isn't that going to the thatched house with a lantern and looking for death?
"Ziqing, what you said is true?" Zhang Xiaolin seemed to be making up his mind.
"Of course it's true, the Allah Political Department specializes in intelligence, and these things are absolutely true." Cheng Ziqing said.
Zhang Xiaolin said: "Then please go and say that I Zhang Xiaolin has no intention of getting along with him, and ask him not to kill him." β
Cheng Ziqing said: "That's it, Boss Zhang is really handsome." β
Zhang Xiaolin smiled, in fact, he was very aggrieved, he had been on the beach for decades, and it was the first time he had been deflated like this.
β¦β¦
After ambushing Zhang Xiaolin, Chen Zikun immediately moved to prevent the other party from retaliating, and there were many guards around him, and he fired weapons and equipment in a row, even if Zhang Xiaolin wanted to take revenge, he had to prepare at least dozens of lives.
Just when Chen Zikun went to the Sassoon Building to inspect the office of Springfield & Co., the guards were alert to find that someone was watching, and they arranged for two people to block on the side of the road, and in one fell swoop they caught the person who was watching, and dragged them to the alley to interrogate with a dagger against their necks.
It turned out that he was not Zhang Xiaolin's person, but the orderly of Xia Jingqi, the adjutant of the Jiangdong Provincial Supervision Office.
Chen Zikun asked him, "What about Adjutant Xia?" β
"It's just behind."
Immediately send someone to arrest it, and where can it be caught, Adjutant Xia saw the opportunity to act, and he had already slipped away.
Chen Zikun understood that Sun Dujun was going to deal with him, and now Shanghai was in danger, and he had to leave quickly, so he found a cafΓ© on the side of the road, borrowed the phone to teach Mu Yichen the opportunity, and then ordered someone to pack up and prepare to leave Shanghai secretly.
When I returned to the lower place, I saw a middle-aged man with a slightly dark face waiting for him, it was Cheng Ziqing from the patrol room of the French Concession.
"Team Leader Cheng, don't come unharmed?" Chen Zikun was vigilant, the other party was a member of the Green Gang, and he had a close relationship with Zhang Xiaolin, and this time he came here must have been for the shooting on the street in the French Concession.
Cheng Ziqing got straight to the point and said: "General Chen, I'm here to say a word for Boss Zhang, when is the time to retribution, it's better to give me a thin face and let Boss Zhang go, anyway, there are no dead people on your side, and there are already three dead people on Boss Zhang's side." β
Chen Zikun sneered: "Isn't Zhang Xiaolin the best at fighting, why didn't I move the real thing, he was cowardly?" β
