Huanyan still cried bitterly. Lin Xiaotang could see that shopkeeper Qian's death was really difficult for her to accept. Although the two fathers and daughters had been at odds with each other all their lives, fathers and daughters were fathers and daughters after all, and the kind of family ties connected by blood could not be overcome by anything. Unable to let go, Shopkeeper Qian devoted himself to planning for his daughter at the last moment, even risking his own life to create an opportunity for his daughter to be with the one she loves. How could such a father's love as heavy as a mountain not be given up? My daughter and everyone else were moved.

An Yiming was as silent as ever, but there was clearly more guilt and self-blame in his eyes. Lin Xiaotang knew that he felt uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything more, but helped them close the door and went downstairs alone.

For Lin Xiaotang, the pressure during this period is also unparalleled. The situation in Shanghai is getting worse and worse. The war situation in Europe is affecting the situation in Shanghai all the time. British and American activities in Shanghai have become increasingly low-key and cautious. Although Japan's next move is unclear, anyone with a discerning eye knows that facing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Japanese, who are good at gambling and making all-or-nothing decisions, are absolutely unwilling to settle for the status quo at this time.

The British have no time to take care of themselves, while the Americans are happy to watch the fire from the other side. As long as the fire does not burn their bodies and they feel no pain, they will definitely not take any action. At this time, Shanghai, an international city, has completely removed its protection and opened fire to Japan. People are open, of course, this refers to the most prosperous concession area.

After the French Pétain government surrendered to the Germans, the situation of the French Concession in Shanghai became delicate. De Gaulle established a government-in-exile in the UK and began the full resistance of "Free France". Faced with the simultaneous existence of two governments, the French Concession The Public Security Bureau did not know where to go for a while. At this time, the French Concession had become an isolated island like the Public Concession, and it could fall at any time in the face of the aggressive Japanese.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaotang had anticipated this situation early on, and the Nanjing puppet government and the Japanese had worked hard to prepare for a rainy day. Otherwise, at this time, he would be the first to be unlucky.

But even so, Lin Xiaotang's business in Shanghai has shrunk by at least one-third. If the newly opened smuggling business hadn't become increasingly prosperous, just the 800 people in Tianmu Mountain would have completely brought down Lin Xiaotang.

There was no one downstairs anymore. The men brought by Lin Xiaotang were scattered in every corner of the alley. From time to time, the light of cigarettes could be seen in the darkness. Lin Xiaotang was still very satisfied with this team that was brought from Tianmu Mountain. When they first arrived in Shanghai, they had no Affected by this colorful prosperity, it can be seen that these are veterans who have experienced the forging of blood and fire. For them, this is just a new battlefield.

The cafe had already closed. Lin Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion when looking at the layout, which was somewhat similar to Santos. The scene when he first arrived in Shanghai suddenly came to mind. Times have changed, things have changed and people have changed. In the blink of an eye, it has been three years since he arrived in Shanghai. , he has also changed from a passionate young man who only knew how to take revenge and fight Japanese invaders, to a tycoon who is now full of wealth and mixed in the black and white circles. This kind of life, which seems to be a glorious life to outsiders, is like walking on thin ice for Lin Xiaotang himself. Don't dare to make a wrong step.

Lin Xiaotang suddenly missed Dong Jiayi and Haneda Sora very much. One of them was far away in Nanyang, and the other was close to him, but because of his status, he couldn't see each other all the time. They were both the most important women in his life, and it was precisely because of them. The existence of Lin Xiaotang made Lin Xiaotang's life more colorful and less intrigued.

Thinking about the trip to Nanyang that has been planned for a long time, it is still far away. This big stall in Shanghai cannot be put down just now. Shang Zhensheng, Datou and Ma Qixiang are busy integrating the affairs of various stations in North China recently. Shen Fatty is very busy with smuggling, and his apartment is still stranded in Chongqing. I don't know if he has found out anything there. Lin Xiaotang himself has been busy recently with the things Pan Zhongzhong told him before leaving. .

When entrusted by others, you must be loyal to them. This is the basic principle of Lin Xiaotang's behavior, and it is also one of the reasons why he can be recognized by so many people. Therefore, Lin Xiaotang is determined to handle the matter of An Yiming. of properly.

However, now, the whole thing is like a mess. Cheng Haihan was injured and arrested. An Yiming and Huanyan had to hide here. There is still no whereabouts of the information. However, Yazawa Shinichi and Yuan Jianfeng are pressing forward step by step. What should I do to break out of the cocoon?

Inadvertently, a faint fragrance wafted over. Lin Xiaotang turned around and saw that Scarlett had changed her clothes. Her windbreaker was still on her body. Her hair was a little wet and was simply tied into a ponytail. Her golden hair was scattered lazily. Behind her head, she sat directly next to Lin Xiaotang. Seeing Lin Xiaotang's cigarettes and lighters on the table in front of her, Scarlett was not polite, took one out and lit it skillfully.

"You can also take a shower here." Lin Xiaotang suddenly felt a little embarrassed and muttered for a long time before he could say anything.

Scarlett held a cigarette in her mouth and combed her hair again. Under the dim light in the cafe, a hazy but infinitely tempting curve was outlined. "The proprietress of this shop has a nice bathroom, although it is very simple. , but you can still take a shower.”

"You danced very well today, um, today." After saying this, Lin Xiaotang wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why didn't he pick up the pot?

Scarlett didn't mind at all, but showed a kind of excitement after hearing the compliment, "Really, I did this in a bar in Hawaii before I joined the army. Fortunately, I haven't forgotten the previous action skills. "

"Here, there are skills." Lin Xiaotang swallowed hard.

Scarlett nodded, "This is a profession. I understand that you Easterners may regard this as a dishonorable job, but for us Americans or Europeans, this is nothing, because we You are working, making money with your own efforts and diligence, it is a matter of course, it is just a job."

"Oh," Lin Xiaotang couldn't think of what to say. He also understood the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Fire Eye and Ghost had taught him a lot about this.

"Are you starting to have a crush on me?" Scarlett looked at Lin Xiaotang seriously with her blue eyes open.

Lin Xiaotang suddenly choked on the cigarette, his face turned red, and he coughed loudly.

At the door of the kitchen behind the cafe, Huoyan and Joda were squatting on the ground, holding back their laughter, their whole bodies shaking constantly.

"Does this embarrass you? I can see from your eyes that you seem to admire my body very much. Also, you always evade me, as if seeing me makes you feel embarrassed. It's a very strange kind of shyness, yes, it's just shy." Scarlett frowned and thought for a moment, then said decisively.

"This..." Lin Xiaotang was a little unable to answer the question.

"Actually, it's very simple. I also like you very much, ever since you defeated me, because I worship the strong. Women always subconsciously long for the protection of men, and even I am no exception." Scarlett said. Her long eyelashes fluttered and her tone gradually slowed down.

"I..." Before Lin Xiaotang could speak, his mouth was instantly blocked by Scarlett's thick and sexy lips. Lin Xiaotang was startled and subconsciously wanted to push her away, but his hand inadvertently reached for her. That peak, that astonishing plumpness and elasticity made Lin Xiaotang unable to move.

"Uh, uh...", Lin Xiaotang's eyes began to blur, and the defense line of his lips was instantly broken by Scarlett, and a slippery tongue wrapped around Lin Xiaotang's tongue, rolling and intertwining.

"It's like this again, why do the women I know always take the initiative more than the men." Lin Xiaotang was about to cry but had no tears.

After a long time, the two people's lips slowly parted. Under the light, Scarlett's face was filled with a smile. She licked her scarlet tongue and suddenly took it back, "Look, it's that simple. This is it." Our American way of showing love.”

Lin Xiaotang was dumbfounded, his face as red as cooked shrimps, muttering speechless, but his hands still kept reaching forward to grab.

It wasn't until Huo Yan, who was tiptoeing up from behind, coughed lightly that Lin Xiaotang realized that Scarlett beside him had already disappeared, and quickly gathered his thoughts and regained his composure.

Huoyan approached Lin Xiaotang and said, "Brother Qi, the boss of Todajin appears in this area, he should be looking for us."

Lin Xiaotang felt a shiver in his heart. No one knew about the connection between him and Tachibana Osamu, except for Huoyan, Jiao Da and a few close confidants. Even so, Lin Xiaotang never explained the identity and identity of Tachibana Osamu to a few people. Origin, Lin Xiaotang is very aware of the importance of Tachibana Osamu as a contact point for Pan Zhongzhong's organization, so the two will never take the initiative to contact each other unless it is necessary. But today, Tachibana Osamu can actually find this place, which means that it really happened. An immeasurable event.

Lin Xiaotang thought for a while and ordered Huoyan, "Let the brothers keep a close eye on this for me. Chief Tachibana and their whereabouts must be covered up. If there are any tails behind them, they must be dealt with and find a hiding place here among the Jews." I'm here to meet with him. By the way, you go and invite An Yiming over, and the two of us will go together."

There was a noise behind them, and Lin Xiaotang and Huoyan looked back. Scarlett had reappeared carrying a regular package, "Boss, when I first came here, I observed that there is a church nearby that is the commanding height of this area, so I will give it to you. Let me."

Huoyan smiled and rubbed his nose, but said nothing.
