Anyone who is familiar with Jin Mian knows that he cannot save money in his hands. The reason is that he has two major hobbies in his life, one is gambling; the other is women, but these two things consume the most money, so , Jin Mian’s usual state is that he has eaten his last meal but not his next one.

As a well-known gang member on Sichuan Road in the public concession, Jin Mian has undoubtedly been extremely unlucky in the past two years. He was originally Zhang Xiaolin's subordinate, but his seniority was too low. Until Zhang Xiaolin died under random gunfire, he was still unlucky. Make a name for yourself.

After Zhang Xiaolin's death, he became a lonely soul without an owner. Although he was also a gang member, Zhang Xiaolin had offended too many people in the world in the past few years. Once his big tree fell, the people below him immediately became Shanghai Although the people of "Sanxin Company" did not kill them all in the past, they no longer have a foothold in Shanghai, even for their unscrupulous subordinates like Jin Mian.

For this reason, many people have left, but Jin Mian has stayed in Shanghai. It’s not that he doesn’t want to leave, but that he can’t even come up with the most basic travel expenses. In this way, Jin Mian hangs out in the market of the public concession. In the meantime, I often take advantage of my familiarity with people, such as extortion, extortion, debt collection, etc., to make ends meet. Of course, I can also get some good deals from time to time. , such as helping No. 76 do some things that are not on the table.

Today, Jin Mian looked brand new, put on an elegant satin shirt, and holding a folding fan in his hand, he walked into Xinglongsheng Gambling House, the largest in the public concession, and spent a whole day in it before throwing it away. With dozens of pieces of genuine Yingyang, Shi Shiran walked out of the casino to everyone's surprised eyes.

Jin Mian didn't notice that at this time, several figures were already following behind him.

After leaving the casino, Jin Mian went straight to Wantangchun, which is not far away. This is also his favorite place because there is one of his favorite mistresses here. As long as he has money, he will definitely stay here. All the money was spent here until he was asked out of the door or kicked out directly, but Jin Mian still enjoyed it.

Wan Tangchun's business was good today, and all the private rooms were full. Jin Mian had no choice but to find his woman and come to sit in the lobby, while the person following him hid not far away, quietly observing his every move.

Not long after, a man in a suit passed by Jin Mian. Those who were following him could clearly see that Jin Mian quickly handed an envelope to the man, and the man stuffed it into his arms as if nothing had happened and walked out of the door. .

The following people entered this situation and quickly discussed it. Then two people followed the man in the suit, and one of the remaining people stood up and walked towards Jin Mian.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Jin?"

Jin Mian heard this, put down his glass and looked back, only to find that it was He Wu, an acquaintance of his in the gang.

"Lao Wu, what a coincidence. You are also here to have fun. It just so happens that I am alone. Let's sit down and have two drinks together." Jin Mian waved his hand happily and asked He Wu to sit down at his table. .

He Jiu was not polite and sat down directly. Jin Mian quickly ordered another girl to be found. The four of them sat around a table and exchanged cups.

After drinking for three rounds, Jin Mian took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and placed them in front of He Wu without counting them. Looking at He Wu's surprised eyes, Jin Mian smiled proudly, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." , Fortunately, you, Lao Wu, helped me cover my last gambling debt, so I didn’t make a fool of myself. I’ll pay you back with interest at once.”

He Wu suddenly realized, "It turns out that Brother Jin has made a fortune. Those little things before were not worth mentioning. You still remember them in your heart. What kind of job have you found?"

Jin Mian smiled mysteriously and picked up the wine glass, "There are rules in the world. I'm sorry I can't tell you this directly, but if there is a big deal in the future, I will definitely call you brother, how about it."

He Wu was flattered and immediately raised his glass, "Then I'll thank you first, Brother Jin."

…

In the manager's room of Xinglongsheng Casino, A Mao and Xiao Quan, who were in suits and ties, looked at each other. After hearing He Wu's report, Xiao Quan rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, "A Mao, what do you think?"

Ah Mao shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know what to do. It's been less than a month since you and I came to Xinglongsheng. Today, people below reported that the kid with debts came to the casino again, but I didn't expect that... This guy surnamed Jin was so generous today. Not only did he pay off all his gambling debts, but he also spent dozens of dollars on us without blinking an eye. Then I ordered He Wu and the others to follow him. I originally planned to beat him up in the dead of night, or simply tie him up and make a big sum of money. As you know, since the hero was confiscated, the lives of the brothers are obviously not as luxurious as before."

Xiao's face darkened, "You kid, you have the most tricks up your sleeve. If the eldest brother and the seventh young master find out about this, they won't be able to get away with a scolding. It's not like you don't know their abilities and tempers. We are still afraid of being hungry when they are here, so we will definitely not do this kind of thing again in the future, you know."

Xiao Quan is Fatty Shen’s right-hand man. Although Ah Mao and him are sworn brothers, Xiao Quan is older than him, so as long as Xiao Quan speaks, he will definitely listen, so Ah Mao immediately patted his chest to express that he would never stop talking. Doing things that don’t make sense on the stage.

Seeing Ah Mao's words with certainty, Xiao Quanren couldn't help but smile, "Okay, don't swear to me, I have to say that what you did today is not bad. I can see that this kid Jin Mian has changed unusually. Without taking action, he has done a lot of things for Wu Sibao on the 76th. If this incident is related to Wu Sibao, then we must pay more attention..."

Just as he was talking, the men who were following the man in the suit ran in like crazy.

According to what they said, this man was a bearer who cooperated with Jin Mian. He rarely showed up. This time, he was probably entrusted by Jin Mian to help him do something. After the man in the suit came out of Wantangchun, he went straight to At a church on Fuzhou Road, the person who met him was a blond foreigner in his thirties. The bearer handed the thick envelope to the foreigner. The two did not talk, as if they just made a deal. .

After hearing this, Xiao Quan looked at Ah Mao and said, "Come on, let's stop guessing. Since Jin Mian has contacted the foreigners, let the bosses investigate the matter in between."

…

The Great World Nightclub in Hongkou is brightly lit, and this time of night is the most lively time here. People of all kinds, including some ronin in kimono, will walk in here to numb their fragile nerves with alcohol and beauty.

As the communication section chief of No. 76, Ding Shijun is naturally a frequent visitor here. Every night, he will accompany different guests in and out of here, including senior officials of the puppet government and officials from the Japanese military and political circles. For this kind of Ding Shijun was disgusted with the life of feasting and revelry, but he had no choice but to do so. Ever since his eldest brother Ding Mocun was kicked out of No. 76, he, Ding Shijun, had been classified as a marginalized person. Among them, the fate of being purged is almost certain.

Thinking of this, Ding Shijun couldn't help but hate the two gunmen he found that day. Their marksmanship was so poor that they couldn't hit even at a very close distance. If he had known better, he would have spent more money and hired a master to do it. Li Shiqun He would have died a long time ago.

There was no official entertainment today. The reason why he didn't go home was because of the invitation of several colleagues. Since Ding Mocun left the secret service headquarters to work in Nanjing, he brought his family with him, and his family stayed in his house in Shanghai. Ding Shijun was left alone, and he had nothing to do when he returned home. Several colleagues happened to invite him for a drink, so Ding Shijun simply joined in.

After eating, Ding Shijun took everyone to the Great World Nightclub. Although it was far less luxurious and considerate than the Hero Nightclub, it was still considered a first-class entertainment venue near Hongkou. Besides, Ding Shijun was still currently The head of the Communication Department still has some weight in the big world.

Several people had drunk a lot of wine during the meal, and they drank a little more here. Ding Shijun was in a depressed mood and drank a lot more than the others. Therefore, when he finished paying the bill and was about to go out, his steps were a little staggering. .

Ding Shijun and several colleagues supported each other and walked towards the door. Before they stepped on the steps to go out, as soon as the door opened, seven or eight drunk men came in from the outside with their arms around each other. Ding Shijun and others could not dodge. He immediately bumped into these people.

Neither of the two groups was convinced by the other, and they immediately began to make loud noises. The people of No. 76 were used to running rampant in Shanghai, so they were willing to give way first. After hearing the news, the manager of the nightclub hurriedly ran out and tried to persuade them for a long time, but not only did he not get up at all. It had no effect, but he was slapped several times by the people from No. 76.

Ding Shijun did not participate at first, he just staggered and leaned against the wall with straight eyes. But as time went by, the drunkenness came to his head, and a feeling of resentment and anger that could not be discharged suddenly occupied his entire heart.

Ding Shijun staggered out and walked among the people. Without saying a word, he pulled out a pistol from his waist and put it directly on the other person's forehead. He looked directly into the other person's eyes without saying a word.

As soon as the pistol was revealed, the other party immediately surrendered and repeatedly waved his hands and said it was a misunderstanding. Without saying a word, Ding Shijun hit the other party on the head with the handle of the pistol.

When the drunkards on No. 76 saw such a scene, they couldn't help laughing proudly.

But without warning, a wine bottle flew out of the crowd and hit Ding Shijun directly on the forehead. With a "pop" sound, the bottle turned into pieces, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

Ding Shijun looked at the other person blankly, fresh blood slowly dripping from his forehead. Then, his arms hung softly, the pistol fell to the ground, and his body slowly softened.

The crowd suddenly exclaimed.

The nightclub manager with red and swollen cheeks walked over fearfully, squatted down, and poked Ding Shijun's nose. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and then shouted, "Kill, kill,"

The members of No. 76 were drunk. They quickly waved their pistols and surrounded the people who were arguing with them. One of them saw the figure who just threw the bottle, and several guns were pointed at the man in the hat. man.
