"Brother Zide, you still call me by my name...... We are all surnamed Wu, five hundred years ago we said that it was not necessarily a family, and it was too much to call Master Wu too foreign."

Wu Ming said with a smile while making tea for the two. The Metrobus Hotel provides boiling water 24 hours a day, and the four hot water kettles in the room are fully filled, which is very convenient.

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Wu."

can be the absolute henchman of a master like Zhang Xiaolin who is difficult to wait, Wu Jingguan naturally has his own way of dealing with people. After the guest and host sat down on the sofa in the living room, Wu Jingguan chatted with Wu Mingdong for a while, without any restraint and uneasiness, and behaved relaxedly, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Wu Ming also has a calm attitude, with the insight of the two worlds, no matter what Wu Jingguan says, he can continue without obstacles, his words are humorous and funny, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and the guests and hosts talk very happily for a while.

Wu Ming's relaxation was not deliberately pretended. Since he arrived in the Shanghai Concession, the operation codenamed "Pulling Thorns" has been quietly launched, and the intelligence system has two generals, Ye Zhuhan and Lu Kuiyuan, personally leading the team, coupled with the bold and careful Zhang Dongning in the middle of the strategy, Wu Ming is very relieved, and his mood is naturally good.

Wu Jingguan's mood was not as relaxed as it seemed.

Although what happened in the song and dance hall of Luhua Palace a few days ago did not cause much turmoil in the outside world, the entire underground world of Shanghai Tang has spread - Zhang Xiaolin's eldest son, Du Yuesheng's son Zhang Fayao was actually severely injured on his own turf, and the injured person was very bad, and specially greeted Zhang Fayao's lower body, which directly led to the possibility that this son-in-law who did not learn and did not know how to have children may lose his fertility

Because the matter involved the Japanese, Zhang Xiaolin did not dare to publicly retaliate, so he could only secretly send people to find out the whereabouts of the few Japanese who seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

As Zhang Xiaolin's right-hand man, Wu Jingguan has a lot of things to do, especially in the past few days, Zhang Xiaolin needs to raise funds to boost the morale of the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods under his command in order to help him find someone.

It's just that Fang Zhibin's situation is different.

Now Dai Li's secret service is getting stronger and stronger in Shanghai, and Wu Jingguan is the cousin of Yu Lexing, the head of the East China region of the secret service, his request Wu Jingguan can't refuse, in line with the idea of multiple friends and multiple roads, Wu Jingguan has to take time out of his busy schedule to meet the rumored legendary Wu Ming.

Now that the work of a cup of tea has passed, the conversation still has not entered the topic, Rao is Wu Jingguan's mind is calm, and he can't help but start to be secretly impatient.

Just when Wu Jingguan gradually became a little impatient, the dazzling sunlight suddenly swayed in from the balcony, dispelling the cold in the living room and emptying it, and the slanting sunset erupted from the dark clouds, reflecting the entire Shanghai Beach red, and it was spectacular and beautiful from the room.

Wu Ming looked out the window in surprise: "Curious scene...... Just now, the dark clouds were still pressing down on the city, and even the street lights on the main road were lit up, but I didn't expect the sun to shine in a blink of an eye. During this time, I was only busy with official business, but I didn't know that the sunset in Shanghai was so beautiful...... Brother Zide lives here, and his life must be very comfortable, right? ”

At this time, where does Wu Jingguan have the leisure time to enjoy the beautiful sunset? Just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words and get straight to the point, the door suddenly rang at an inopportune time.

Fang Zhibin got up and opened the door and found that it was his guard Li Yi. Li Yi whispered a few words in his ear, and Fang Zhibin beckoned to Wu Jingguan after listening.

Wu Jingguan knew that something was wrong with Lu Dao, and hurriedly apologized to Wu Ming, got up and walked out of the door. Wu Ming smiled disapprerovingly, took out a pack of old knife brand cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, handed it to Fang Zhibin, who returned to the sofa and sat down, and then took out another one and lit it for himself first.

Fang Zhibin lit a cigarette on Wu Ming's lighter, swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, but his brows wrinkled unconsciously, just now the people from the Qing Gang came to the lobby below to find Wu Jingguan, it seemed that there was something urgent. And he always felt that Wu Jingguan seemed to have something on his mind today, but he couldn't imagine anything that could stump Zhang Xiaolin's general manager.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Jingguan returned to the room, his originally calm and calm expression was gone, and there was a faint uneasiness between his eyebrows: "Today, I met Brother Wu at first sight, and I wanted to talk at night, but I had something important to do, so I had to leave first...... If you have time to visit again in the future, I hope that Brother Wu will not be stingy with a cup of tea. ”

At this time, everyone could see that Wu Jingguan had made up his mind, and Wu Ming, who probably understood what was going on, naturally would not stop him, stood up and said with a smile:

"Wu will stay in Shanghai for a period of time to negotiate some business with several foreign firms, and welcome Brother Zide to visit at any time." After that, Wu Ming led his right hand and personally sent Wu Jingguan out of the door.

After Wu Jingguan left, Fang Zhibin also retired and left - Wu Jingguan's performance today made him very dissatisfied, he had to chase him out and ask what was going on, otherwise he would be unstable.

Back in the room, Wu Ming walked to the balcony of the flower fence again, looked to the west, and found that the sunlight just now was just a flash in the pan, as the clouds completely blocked the sun, the light outside was already very dim, the street lights and neon lights flickered, and the night had arrived in advance.

Hearing the sound behind him, Wu Ming turned his head and said to Sun Chengyuan who came in: "The time should be about the same, right?" ”

Cheng Yuan looked at his watch, and his face showed excitement: "It is estimated that I have already succeeded at this time...... Alas, it's a pity that I couldn't personally participate in such a happy action" Speaking of this, Cheng Yuan's face showed a look of pain, obviously dissatisfied with Wu Ming's "grounding order" against him.

Wu Ming shook his head and chuckled, and touched Cheng Yuan's head who walked to his side: "What's the hurry?" There will be times when you behave, just not now."

Cheng Yuan rolled his eyes: "I don't know how many times Lu Dao has said this sentence, and I don't know when Lu Dao will be able to fulfill ......."

Wu Ming couldn't cry or laugh.

"What the hell is going on?" Fang Zhibin, who left from Wu Ming, quickly stopped Wu Jingguan's car at the door of the hotel.

"Let's come up first."

Wu Jingguan had a gloomy face, turned sideways and opened the car door, Fang Zhibin got into it, and sat directly next to Wu Jingguan.

"Go to Hongkou"

Wu Jingguan said to the driver and looked at Fang Zhibin: "You just arrived in Shanghai, and you don't know what to do, and now Shanghai is already in a mess."

Fang Zhibin was surprised and asked, "What happened?" ”

The car started, Wu Jing watched until the speed reached a stable level, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his swollen and painful temples, looked at the buildings and people passing by outside the car, and said with a heavy heart:

"My boss's eldest son, you should know him...... That's right, it's Zhang Fayao, the playboy who returned from studying in France...... A few days ago, in order to snatch the top singer of a song and dance hall in the Luhua Palace Song and Dance Hall, he was seriously injured by the Japanese and his testicles were kicked out. ”

"Ah, how is that possible?"

Fang Zibin gasped, his body tilted, and almost touched the backrest in front of him.

For Fang Zhibin, who has worked in Shanghai for a long time and is deeply involved in the Youth Gang, he knows very well how angry Zhang Xiaolin will be by this incident, and he also knows that Zhang Xiaolin, who is dominated by anger, has no reason to talk about at all. But soon, Fang Zhibin sat down again, took a deep breath, and frowned slightly: "You and the Japanese, you don't have a big holiday, right?" Why would such a thing happen? ”

"Originally, everyone didn't interfere with the river water, and even we still had some friendship, who knows what the Japanese are crazy about?"

Wu Jingguan shook his head, his face full of confusion. Zhang Xiaolin secretly had an affair with the Japanese, and he couldn't hide it from anyone who had a heart at all, and he didn't want to hide anything in the face of Fang Zhibin, the intelligence head of the secret service.

"Could it be an alien Japanese ronin or a samurai? Are you tracking down the killer now? Did you find out anything? Fang Zhibin suddenly understood that Wu Jingguan would be uncomfortable for anything, and it would not be too easy for anyone to face the pressure exerted by Zhang Xiaolin and the Japanese.

"It would have been nice to know that Lu Dao had let go...... The matter involves the Japanese, and it is not easy to deal with it, but who knows that the boss of Lu Dao can't let it go, so he has to find out the result, and he doesn't want to find out the trouble."

Wu Jingguan said depressedly: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with the investigation itself, with the good friendship between our boss and Admiral Nagano Shusei, commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, as well as the good cooperation with the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in recent years, even if the eldest prince is at fault, their people should not be so poisonous."

Originally, the boss just wanted to solve it privately, but the people in the Hongkou Dojo flatly denied that there was such a person as Junichi Inamoto, the boss did not believe in evil, and was ready to turn Shanghai upside down...... But I just received news that someone in the gang actually took the lead and attacked several Japanese shops in the Hongkou area, resulting in casualties among the Japanese, and I am afraid that the matter will not be so easy to end. ”

"No, no, it's not going to be that simple......"

The arrogant and domineering Japanese have always acted unscrupulously, and they beat Zhang Fayao seriously injured without knowing it, which Fang Zhibin believes, because the Japanese can't use common sense to deal with it, and anything crazy can be done. However, the people in the Green Gang would ignore Zhang Xiaolin's ban and go to the Japanese territory to take revenge for Zhang Fayao, a playboy with no talent and no virtue, but Fang Zhibin smelled the slightest hint of conspiracy.

"I think so too, otherwise I wouldn't have left in a hurry without giving you face...... The conclusion of everything has to go to Hongkou to find out

Wu Jingguan said this, and suddenly pointed to the side of the road, where heavily armed Japanese marines were setting up railings and barriers, and his face became more and more ugly:

"The incident fermented, and the Japanese actually set up checkpoints on the main streets of the northern and eastern districts of the public concession...... Even the army has been dispatched, and it seems that it will not be so easy for things to be resolved smoothly"
