Chapter 374 Warning
The withdrawal of all personnel and industries is proceeding quietly and in an orderly manner. On the surface, there is no need to worry about the business of Longsheng, Ke Hua and Hero Nightclub, as well as the hot spring hotel. Lin Xiaotang has handed over everything to Ke Xingxing to take care of these industries. Among them are the shares of Wan Molin, Zhuang Chongxian, Ding Mocun and others, and especially the Japanese, such as Sasaki and Otani Kazuya. Lin Xiaotang also plans to keep these industries in Shanghai as the organization's base.
The rest is the strength hidden underwater, such as the relationship network and organizational framework established through the material control plan and smuggling operations. These must be transferred. The material control plan is closely related to the puppet government, and that is only a temporary one. The organizational setup will come to an end sooner or later. Now, what Lin Xiaotang has to do is to entrust it to the Ma family behind Ma Qixiang. They have already established a relationship with Zhou Fohai, and even the Japanese do not dare to act rashly against him.
Smuggling operations have been mainly linked to the anti-Japanese base areas in recent years. Materials and equipment shipped from Nanyang are also given priority to them. These personnel and arrangements can also be managed by them first.
The biggest headache is the resettlement of several core sites such as the Tongmenghui and the previously established Peking Station. Lin Xiaotang’s idea is to gradually shift the focus of the organization overseas to avoid being involved in the domestic political battles that are likely to arise after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. , and overseas intelligence work also requires a large number of qualified personnel to support it. For this reason, as early as half a year ago, Lin Xiaotang had already started asking Shang Zhensheng to start this work, investing a lot of money and bringing together a group of core backbone members. Transfer overseas.
When Dong Jiayi and Shang Zhi left Shanghai, this work had already been completed. Part of the reason why Dong Jiayi and Shang Zhi returned to Thailand was to arrange this work in place. After all, the Dong family and alliance will be overseas. , especially Nanyang’s influence is still huge.
After arranging all this, Lin Xiaotang suddenly felt that the burden on his body was lightened, but he felt a sense of loss unconsciously. Thinking about the scene when he first arrived in Shanghai a few years ago, he suddenly felt a little bitter. He founded the company with his own hands. A series of industries, but now they are all being transferred overseas. Looking back on the hardships along the way, Lin Xiaotang can't help but have more expectations for the future.
When the lanterns first came on, Fatty Shen ran to Lin Xiaotang's office. Now he was still alone. In order to solve his marriage issue, Lin Xiaotang and others had come up with many ideas and solutions, but this dear man didn't like any of them. No way, after Fenghua was established, Fatty Shen was dumbfounded when he saw those charming female stars. He cried and shouted to get the identity of a shareholder, and then he stayed in Fenghua. He called it taking care of the business, but in fact he was doing business. I started to make some small calculations.
As a result, the women around Fatty Shen began to rotate around like a revolving door, and this kind of life seemed to suit his appetite. Lin Xiaotang and others had to give up the idea of finding a girlfriend for him.
"You have nothing to do, why don't you go find your little star?" Lin Xiaotang asked him with a smile.
Fatty Shen shook his head, "What's the point of taking it? When I have a new goal, you don't need to tell me, I won't hang around in front of your eyes."
"Then why did you come to me?" Lin Xiaotang asked angrily.
"I haven't found anything for dinner. Jiayi and Xiaozhi have gone back to Thailand. I can't appetite the food made in the hotel. So, I'll ask you to go out to eat together."
Lin Xiaotang nodded, stood up, and picked up his coat. As soon as Dong Jiayi and Shang Zhi left, the lives of these men had indeed become a problem. The women were all naughty, and the food in the hotel was off-putting. He and Ma Qixiang took Qiang Yihu and others to Nanyang to see off their families, and they won't be able to come back for a few months. Now, those in Shanghai are Lin Xiaotang, Fatty Shen, Shang Zhensheng, Huoyan, Guo Zhui and Jason.
Shang Zhensheng and Jason are famous homebodies. Shang Zhensheng has no time or interest to go out to eat because of his busy schedule, while Jason is busy taking care of his bakery. Although Jamie Si has returned to Nanyang, but Jason has a special liking for bakeries. He soaks in flour every day and is full of interest.
So, Lin Xiaotang and Fatty Shen called Huoyan and Guo Zhui, and the four of them in a car went straight to the Shanghai Alley Restaurant on Saposai Road in the French Concession. In the past, Lin Xiaotang, Dong Jiayi, Datou and He Youjing came together. Yes, I met Yuan Jianfeng and his wife here at that time.
During the time Dong Jiayi was in Shanghai, Lin Xiaotang accompanied her to visit frequently. However, after she became pregnant again, Dong Jiayi's pregnancy reaction was too severe and she would vomit when she saw greasy food, so she never came again.
Fatty Shen is also quite familiar with this place. It seems that although this small restaurant is located in a remote location, it has a very good reputation in Shanghai.
Fatty Shen had reserved the elegant seats a long time ago. A few people ordered some food and drinks and started eating and drinking. At about nine o'clock in the evening, everyone came out of the restaurant when they were full.
But as soon as I went out, I discovered that one of the windows of the car parked across the street was smashed. This kind of situation is relatively common in Shanghai. It is usually some pickpockets and idle vagrants who covet the cigarettes and cigarettes placed in the car. For some property, there used to be patrols in the French Concession in the snow at night. This situation was relatively rare. However, since the Japanese occupied the concession, the security situation has become much worse, and there have been more cases of smashing car windows and stealing things.
It's just that the license plate of Lin Xiaotang's car is well-known in Shanghai. The local gangsters and pickpockets are all very discerning guys. They dare not touch Lin Xiaotang's car, but this time it was really poisoned. It seems that It looks like it was done by homeless people from other places.
Everyone looked around cursing, and Fatty Shen even stood at the joint and cursed loudly. After a while, people from the police station were attracted. When the police saw that it was Lin Xiaotang and Fatty Shen, they immediately let go. After looking for pickpockets nearby, the cars of several bosses in Tangtang Longsheng were smashed. It was a shame. After a while, even the police chief of the French Concession rushed over and apologized to Lin Xiaotang and others. However, , Lin Xiaotang did not intend to go into details. The world is in chaos, how can such petty thefts happen? Fortunately, there was nothing valuable in the car, but the lighter and cigarettes of Guo Zhui who was driving were missing.
In less than a moment, all the pickpocket bosses and gangster leaders from nearby streets and alleys were called over by the police. Seeing this situation, they were also frightened. A large group of people had their legs trembling and they almost knelt down. After kowtowing on the ground and begging for mercy, Lin Xiaotang didn't want to make the matter a bigger deal, so he simply waved his hand to indicate that everyone should leave, and he didn't intend to pursue it.
The police chief and a group of gangsters bowed to each other as if they had been granted amnesty, and helped Lin Xiaotang clean up the glass debris in the car. They respectfully sent everyone into the car. They didn't let out a sigh of relief until they saw the car disappearing. .
Fatty Shen was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling frustrated. Huo Yan smiled and dismissed him. Lin Xiaotang sat in the back seat, but still felt a little uncomfortable.
Huo Yan noticed something strange about him and said, "Brother Qi, are you okay?"
Lin Xiaotang twisted his body and said, "Why is this seat so awkward?"
Huoyan hurriedly patted the back seat and suddenly realized, "Did the thief who stole the stuff move the back seat? The whole thing was pulled down and it was not stuck at all."
The car stopped on the side of the road, and Lin Xiaotang got out of the car. Huoyan restored the seat to its original position, but suddenly he heard a "huh" sound.
"Brother Qi, look at this." Huoyan poked his head out of the carriage, holding a paper bag in his hand. When he opened it, he saw that it was Guo Zhui's stolen cigarettes and lighter.
Lin Xiaotang was stunned, looked around, and saw that there was no one walking around. Lin Xiaotang called on everyone to get in the car and sped away towards Ke Hua.
Along the way, everyone saw something wrong with Lin Xiaotang's face, and no one dared to speak. Only Lin Xiaotang took out the cigarettes and lighter, and then stuffed the paper wrapping the cigarettes and lighter into his pocket.
Back in the office, Lin Xiaotang led someone directly into the office. Then he took out the paper ball again and put it under the light, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Extra high class, the Military Intelligence Department has recently taken action against you, so you can take care of yourself."
After Fatty Shen and others passed the paper around, they were also surprised, "Old Qi, what does this mean?"
Lin Xiaotang pondered for a moment, "Go and ask Brother Suzhang to come over."
After a while, Shang Zhensheng hurried over and looked at the note, "This is someone warning us."
Lin Xiaotang lit a cigarette, "I recognize this handwriting. It was written by Yuan Jianfeng."
Fatty Shen and others were stunned, "How could it be him? How could he be so kind to warn us? Why would Special High School Tadayuki Kawakami and Military Intelligence Division Zhuang Chongxian attack us?"
Lin Xiaotang shook his head. He couldn't guess the reason, but he was very familiar with Yuan Jianfeng's handwriting, and Yuan Jianfeng couldn't change his writing habits. He thought it was so that Lin Xiaotang could tell at a glance that it was him. Warning.
Why did Yuan Jianfeng go to so much trouble to warn him, for what purpose, why did the Special Higher Education Department and the Military Intelligence Department attack him, what was the reason, did they master something? Lin Xiaotang thought to himself that he was quite careful in his work, and there was no No matter what clues and handles are left to others, the information conveyed by Yuan Jianfeng's note is really limited. In this way, the space for imagination is infinitely enlarged.
Shang Zhensheng thought for a while, until a cigarette burned to the end, and then he said: "Don't guess what's behind this now. Since Yuan Jianfeng has come up with so many tricks to warn us, there must be a reason behind it." Yes, we don’t have any inside information in the Special High School, and in our hurry, guessing won’t help.”
