Chapter 418: An Opportunity to Act
Under the gaze of more than 100 members and female companions of the club, Han Lin took the small hand of Tang Ying, the first lady in Shanghai, and elegantly entered the dance floor in the middle of the hall and danced the first dance.
The opening dance, which is his privilege as the owner of the club, ended with the two of them holding hands and saluting the people around them to thank them, which also kicked off the lively scene of the club's first drinking party.
When the two of them left the stage, with the second music, dozens of pairs of men and women entered and danced. Dancing is the main way to socialize at the moment, so it's a pleasure to look at.
Tang Ying is very familiar with the celebrities and upper-class people who often participate in social activities in Shanghai, and this is the most basic ability as a courtesan.
His identity is also extremely important, the second son of the Han family, the son-in-law of the Lu family, there are many people who know Han Jingshan and Lu Ruinan, and they have a very pleasant conversation with each other.
"Mr. Han, let me introduce to you, this is Lieutenant Colonel Breel, the military attache of the British Consulate in Shanghai, and this is Major François, the military attache of the French Consulate in Shanghai."
Taking advantage of Han Lin's approach, Smith introduced him to the military attaches of the two embassies, and the identity of them was naturally needless to say, he must be an intelligence officer with a secret mission.
"Mr. Breel, it is a pleasure to meet you, Monsieur François, and welcome to my club, I hope you both will be here often, I will be very honoured!" Han Lin smiled and shook hands with the two of them and said.
"Congratulations to Mr. Han, the club's first cocktail party was a great success, and it will inevitably become a gathering place for diplomats from all over the world, as well as successful people from the business and financial circles of various countries in the future." François said with a smile.
"Thank you Mr. Han for the invitation, since it is a meeting place for diplomats from various countries, and so many celebrities have arrived, I will cherish this opportunity, please Mr. Han don't forget to inform me next time he holds a social event." Brell also said with a smile.
As time went on, Han Lin also discovered an interesting phenomenon, the consul generals of the United States, Britain and France sat together and chatted, while the two consul generals of Germany and Japan did not participate or talk, each with their own social circles.
But these important officials of diplomatic institutions were already very face-saving to be able to appear in the club, and they stayed for about an hour before saying goodbye to Han Lin respectively.
"Han Lin, the lineup of guests and members who participated in the club's opening reception this time is really too strong, and there are consul generals of five countries in Shanghai attending, which is beyond my imagination! I can say that we are the best in the high-level social events held in Shanghai! ”
"Congratulations, our Yinglin Club, since then into the top club level, when the sun rises, your status in the Shanghai market will be completely different from before." Tang Ying said with a smile.
She likes to participate in social activities and enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight, and the establishment of the Yinglin Club has given her a stage to play, after all, this is a high-end club that she personally participated in.
"Do you feel like a hostess?" Han Lin asked with a smile.
"So to speak! At least in the club this place, I am a well-deserved hostess, from the first dance you and I danced, my status was established, no one can take it away, even the daughter of the Lu family can't replace me, this is the rule of the game. Tang Ying was used to this guy teasing her.
"The hostess means something else." Han Lin said with a malicious smile.
"Just you? If you have the guts, marry me! Tang Ying seemed to be laughing at him, just replied simply, then gave him a amorous smile, turned around and returned to the hall.
Laugh at me? Who to look down on?
Han Lin felt that his self-esteem was hurt, and he followed into the hall without hesitation, and he was instigated.
"Boss, Team Leader Xu called just now, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin's subordinates of about 200 people secretly rushed to the Sixteen Pu Wharf in the evening and scattered to several freight yards to hide, from which it can be judged that the Green Gang is going to retaliate against Inoue Hizhao." Shen Xueyan walked to his side and whispered.
"In the end, it's a gang, it's not going to be overnight, it was just attacked last night, and it's going to be a tooth for a tooth tonight, like the style of the Green Gang, what about Inoue Hiaki?" Han Lin found an empty table and sat down.
A full-scale war has not broken out, and Shanghai has not fallen, Zhang Xiaolin is currently only secretly colluding with Japanese spies to sell information in exchange for tobacco, in other words, his relationship with the Japanese is not so deep, he suffered such a big loss last night, it can be described as a heavy loss, this breath can not be swallowed no matter what, retaliation is inevitable, and he also has to consider his reputation.
People who mix the rivers and lakes rely on reputation, this word is derogatory here, he is a green gang boss who has been rampant and domineering in Shanghai for many years, but he was embarrassed by others, how will he mix in the future?
Han Lin suddenly realized that the opportunity to clean up Inoue Hisaaki had come, and this Japanese spy actively collected intelligence on the Jinling government army during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and guided the Japanese army to bomb targets and carry out sabotage activities in the urban area, which would bring a great threat to the Anti-Japanese War in the future.
After the fall of Shanghai, this Japanese spy set up the Inoue Mansion under the instruction of the military secret service, secretly arrested and massacred anti-Japanese personnel, kidnapped and assassinated people suspected of resisting Japan, supported the traitors in the gang to form the "Zodiac Society," and carried out raids inside the concession, which was extremely harmful.
"Most of Inoue's subordinates were transferred to the freight yard this morning, and it is estimated that they are also worried about retaliation by the Green Gang, and the current guard force in the freight yard has increased to more than 40 people, and he himself has not gone out at the moment in the Hartung Building." Shen Xueyan said.
"Great, you inform Xu Yinzheng, prepare a few cold weapons, axes, machetes or something, don't forget the pliers, don't care about the dog-eat-dog at the sixteen-shop pier, and when the drinking party is over, we will hunt Inoue Hisaaki and end up this den of Japanese spies." Han Lin said.
The headquarters of Tongyuan Commercial Bank has been figured out by the special team, and even everyone has a file, so the basic conditions for action are in place. Inoue Hisaaki transferred all his men to the freight yard, and there were few people in the headquarters of the trading house, which provided an opportunity for action.
However, the retaliation of the Green Gang covered up the attack and killing action taken by the Second Division, and the Japanese never dreamed that it was the Second Division that terminated the headquarters of Inoue Hisaaki, and they would not be suspicious of Han Lin.
Tonight, the Yinglin Club opened, holding a grand and grand cocktail party, this is his home field, many foreign diplomats and celebrities in Shanghai attended, there are a lot of things in hand, how could he run to Tongyuan Commercial Bank for no reason, and killed Inoue Hizhao?
