After returning to the store, shopkeeper Qian called over the only two clerks in the store and said to one of the young ones: "Ah Guo, I have told Boss Lin before that I am old and want to retire. You have been here with me for so long, I can no longer delay your future. It is the right time for Boss Lin to hire people, and you are also smart. I have already agreed with him that you will report to Kehua in the next two days. From now on Just follow him."

Ah Guo cried and refused to leave until shopkeeper Qian lost his temper and slapped the table, then turned around and left with tears in his eyes.

Shopkeeper Qian turned his attention to another man in his forties. The older man suddenly smiled and said, "You know my temper. Shopkeeper, we are old men. There are some things that I don't need to say anymore. I also look at Xiaoyan's appearance." As long as she can find a good home, that's better than anything else."

Shopkeeper Qian sighed, his eye circles becoming moist again.

…

It was clearing up after the rain, and under the dotted starry sky, Huanyan pulled An Yiming onto the top rooftop of Huizhong Hotel, waved the two ferry tickets in her hand, "We can leave."

An Yiming looked at Huanyan's expectant eyes and shook his head sadly, "I'm sorry, I can't leave now."

Huanyan's mood immediately hit rock bottom. She grabbed An Yiming's arm tightly and said, "Why, you promised me, you promised to leave Shanghai with me."

An Yiming wanted to speak, but at this time Huanyan had already fallen into a state of madness, "Why are you still staying in Shanghai? Don't you know that you are in danger now? The Japanese are looking for you everywhere, and they will find you here sooner or later." of."

An Yiming immediately raised his head, his eyes widened, and grabbed Huanyan, "How do you know who you are?"

Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Huanyan's eyes, "Can you not guess who I am?"

"You killed Xiaoquan, right?" An Yiming's eyes were about to burst.

"Yes, he has to die. The Japanese have already targeted him. If I don't take action, you two will die. I can't watch something happen to you." Huanyan did not flinch in the face of An Yiming's anger.

"Are you the military commander or the central commander?" An Yiming continued to ask.

Huanyan raised her head stubbornly, "What's the point of asking this? Aren't the military commanders or the central commanders both your enemies? But please don't forget, I am also Chinese."

Huanyan shook off An Yiming's hand, turned around and ran away.

An Yiming watched her leave in confusion. After a long time, he punched the fence of the rooftop. The pain from his finger bones was far from covering up the wounds in his heart.

…

In the evening, the bar of Huizhong Hotel was as lively as ever. An Yiming walked into the lobby a little depressed. The laughter and laughter around him could not change his mood much. He walked through the crowd with his head lowered and walked to the corner of the bar. I waved my hand for a glass of wine and tasted the taste of loss alone.

Chen Asi, wearing a brand-new foreman uniform, inadvertently appeared beside An Yiming. He gently touched his wine glass with An Yiming and said in a low voice: "The other party has heard back. He made an appointment with us at Baidu tomorrow night. Let’s meet at Lemen Ballroom, and the token is a cigar.”

An Yiming nodded absently.

Chen Asi frowned and said, "Lao An, what happened? I don't think your face looks too good."

An Yiming shook his head and was about to speak when he saw Lin Xiaotang in the crowd pushing towards him.

Upon seeing this, An Yiming whispered to Chen Asi: "I will meet with the messenger tomorrow night. You must be prepared. After the matter is completed, we will retreat immediately."

After Chen Asi left, An Yiming looked at Lin Xiaotang who had already arrived in front of him, and smiled coldly, "Boss Lin, are you bored here to have fun at night? There are many boring people here, and there are also many women. Do you want me?" Let me introduce you to a few."

Lin Xiaotang sat down on the sofa next to him without any politeness, threw a cigarette to An Yiming, and lit it himself, "Cooperate with me, I don't have any requirements, you should know, this is just this time, from now on we will Everyone goes his own way."

An Yiming let out a long breath, "You are not familiar with this route, so let us do it. After we get the information, we still have to rely on your channels to pass it on. Before that, let us do it."

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "I still can't trust us."

An Yiming smiled self-deprecatingly, "After all, we are all Chinese, and now it is a national war. If we continue to care about the past things, we can only restrain each other. I figured it out, even if we still have to fight with our lives in the future, but now , we must be consistent with the outside world."

"I'm glad you think so." Lin Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I have a condition. After the matter is completed, I will send Huanyan away from Shanghai. She is a woman after all, and you are her boss. Just treat it like I am begging you. Please." An Yiming stood up and bowed his head to Lin Xiaotang. Got into the crowd.

"You, you..." After Lin Xiaotang was in a daze, he suddenly woke up and wanted to call An Yiming, but he had already disappeared. "This person, please make it clear. When did Huanyan become our side?" of people.”

…

On the one hand, Shin Yazawa was also acting nervously. During this period, he sent people to conduct a rigorous investigation of all personnel information on all Japanese ships that had recently arrived in Shanghai, involving thousands of people. Of course, among these nearly a thousand people, who There are not many people who have interacted with and contacted Ozaki Hidemi, but until now, they still have not been able to find the real target. Yazawa Shinichi was not discouraged by this, but instead stepped up the intensity of the investigation.

Yuan Jianfeng was very active in this manhunt. On the one hand, he deployed people in Huizhong Hotel and continued to search for the operator's superiors; on the other hand, he fully cooperated with Yazawa Shinichi to monitor suspicious targets who arrived in Shanghai. , his work attitude was affirmed by Shinichi Yazawa.

Yuan Jianfeng hurriedly walked into Yazawa Shinichi's office at No. 76 and placed a document in front of him, "Colonel Yazawa, a Japanese cargo ship named Yamato Maru arrived in Shanghai today. This ship is It set off from Shanghai more than a month ago and should have arrived a long time ago, but it was discovered that the ship was leaking oil on the way, so it was docked in Vladivostok for two weeks and has not arrived in Shanghai until now."

"Really?" Shinichi Yazawa became interested, "The time matches very well. Deputy Director Yuan, please search carefully. We can't miss any target."

"Yes, Colonel, please rest assured, I will do my best." Yuan Jianfeng quickly stood up at attention, "There are not many sailors on this ship, no more than a hundred, so the work should be easy."

After coming out of Yazawa Shinichi's office, Yuan Jianfeng went straight back to his room. He locked the door and dialed a phone number, "Where are you? Let's meet right away. It's at the small shop on Jisfield Road." teahouse."

...After receiving a call from Yuan Jianfeng, Jin Mian quickly rushed to the agreed place and came to the vicinity of No. 76. He was obviously a little nervous.

Yuan Jianfeng glanced at him and said in a contemptuous tone: "Don't worry, it's already dark here. Li Shiqun went to Nanjing, Wu Sibao has not been discharged from the hospital, and people in various departments are busy taking advantage of the chaos to make money and gain power. There are basically no people in the headquarters, and no one will notice it. In comparison, this is the safest place."

Jin Mian smiled sarcastically, and his face became a little better, "Cousin, you also know that mad dog Wu Sibao. If he knew that the two of us were doing so many things behind his back, he would definitely cut me into pieces. "

Yuan Jianfeng snorted coldly, "What is there to be afraid of? As long as we succeed in this matter, Wu Sibao will undoubtedly die. He is the first one. Next, if we overthrow two more obstacles, Shanghai will be my world. Yuan Jianfeng , when the time comes, you will have whatever you want."

Yuan Jianfeng's very seductive words obviously moved Jin Mian. He clenched his fists and said, "Damn it, do it. If you fight this, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life."

Yuan Jianfeng smiled and patted his shoulder, "Believe me, that's right."

"Think about it, since Zhang Xiaolin and Ji Yunqing died in Shanghai, No. 76 has been controlling all the business in the world. Wu Sibao, this bastard, is so greedy that he is not satisfied with this. He actually went to steal a car, even with this small amount of money. You can see it all, you think, our plan to attract him is not easy enough."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right." Jin reluctantly nodded.

Yuan Jianfeng lowered his voice and said, "We planned Li Shiqun's assassination this time and Ding Shijun's accidental death. Do you think we still have a way out?"

Jin Mian's face turned a little pale, he licked his dry lips and nodded.

"Listen to me, the top priority is to get rid of Wu Sibao. I have been working with the Japanese these days and have heard a lot of news. The Japanese officers accidentally told the truth when they were drunk a few days ago. It turns out that they have been plundering our Chinese everywhere. We want treasures, gold, antiques, jade, everything. Next month, a batch of things will be shipped to Shanghai for shipment back to Japan."

Jin Mian's eyes went straight when he heard this, "Cousin, you mean we can steal some of it and make a small fortune."

Yuan Jianfeng reached out and slapped him on the head, "Idiot, that was something the Japanese stole. If you don't want to live anymore, I want you to spread the news to Wu Sibao. According to his personality, he is He will definitely take action, this madman only has money in his eyes."

"Then, let's secretly design him and kill him with the help of the Japanese." Jin Mian's mind finally came to his senses.

Yuan Jianfeng smiled. In his opinion, his plan was as seamless as his previous plan for Li Shiqun.

In fact, Yuan Jianfeng and Ding Shijun had known each other for a long time. That is to say, he kept mentioning the dispute between Ding and Li in front of Ding Shijun, and encouraged Ding Shijun to make up his mind to assassinate Li Shiqun. After that, he arranged two gunmen for Ding. Shi Jun himself staged a drama of rescuing the driver, which won Li Shiqun's admiration.

After that, Wu Sibao followed Li Shiqun's order to retaliate against Ding Shijun. In fact, Li Shiqun did not want Ding Shijun to die, but since Ding Shijun dared to assassinate him, he would have no shame to continue living if he didn't do something, so he Wu Sibao was asked to abolish Ding Shijun and make him a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
