Zhang Xiaolin's men saw clearly what Lin Xiaotang was carrying, and immediately changed their expressions, shrinking back. Zhang Xiaolin's face turned pale with anger, and he turned to Wan Molin, "You are here to have a showdown with me today, aren't you? Do you think you brought it?"

If this lunatic comes over, I, Zhang Xiaolin, will be scared!"

Before Wan Molin could answer, a servant hurried in from outside and said, "Sir, the French consul is here!"

Zhang Xiaolin was startled.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the crowd split to both sides. Several foreigners in suits and leather shoes rushed in with a large number of policemen armed with guns. Zhang Xiaolin's mind instantly became confused. What were the French going to do now? He, Zhang Xiaolin, had been in the French Concession for so many years.

This was the first time I saw a Frenchman come to his home with so much force. Looking at the situation, it was obvious that the visitor was evil.

Zhang Xiaolin calmed down, pretended to smile and greeted him, "Mr. Consul, welcome to my humble residence."

The French consul had a gloomy face and looked Zhang Xiaolin up and down, making Zhang Xiaolin feel hairy all over.

The French consul turned his head and babbled. A fat translator with a middle-parted hair squeezed in next to him. He pointed at Zhang Xiaolin's nose arrogantly and said: "Boss Zhang, Mr. Consul said that the security in the concession has been very bad recently.

. He knows very well that you have been in charge since Boss Du left Shanghai, but he is extremely dissatisfied with your work. Public security is chaotic, prostitution, gambling and drugs are rampant, and there are actually other forces who want to interfere in the affairs of the French Concession. Mr. Consul hopes

You understand, this is the French Concession, and the top manager here is a Frenchman. He will give you a month to handle all the affairs as soon as possible. He does not want to see any unpleasant things happen again."

A man next to him also stepped forward, it was Hong Chawei, "I am the representative of the public concession, and we have the same view as the French Concession. I hope Boss Zhang will eliminate illegal businesses in the area as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen the security management in the concession.

Help the concession to maintain prosperity and development together!"

"Also," Hongchawei paused, "if we find that someone is colluding with other forces to damage the common interests of the public concession and the French Concession, we will never tolerate it!"

After saying that, without saying hello to Zhang Xiaolin, several foreigners swaggered away under the protection of the patrol. Before leaving, Hong Chawei turned around and cast a sly look at Lin Xiaotang.

Zhang Xiaolin looked at their backs and stood frozen on the spot for a moment. The guests here were all people who had been in Shanghai for many years. They all had more or less feelings about the sudden changes that happened today. This was an obvious signal.

, Zhang Xiaolin's status in the concession is far less stable than that of Huang Huangrong and Du Yuesheng. The attitude of the concession towards him has already explained the problem.

Some thoughtful guests saw this and left one after another. Zhang Xiaolin stood there for a long time, turning a deaf ear. His face turned from red to white, and for a moment he felt a biting chill coming over him. After Huang Huangrong and Du Yuesheng withdrew from the concession one after another, he thought with joy.

He was able to rise to power smoothly and became the number one member of the Shanghai gang. For this reason, he did not hesitate to put on the hat of a traitor and plunged into the arms of the Japanese. However, the high-ranking official position promised to him by the Japanese still has its shadow. Nowadays,

The French, Americans and British humiliated him again and abandoned him like a shoe. Could it be said that he really chose the wrong path?

Zhang Xiaolin turned around and suddenly saw Lin Xiaotang with a relaxed look on his side. He suddenly felt angry in his heart. He pointed at Lin Xiaotang with a trembling finger, "You...!"

Before he could speak, Chang Yao stepped out, pointed his finger at Lin Xiaotang and scolded: "You brat, what kind of place do you think this is that allows you to run wild here? Fortunately, Mr. Zhang has the tolerance to tolerate others, so he didn't break it down quickly."

Get rid of these things on your body and apologize to Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, "Senior brother, you?"

Chang Yao smiled apologetically, "Junior brother, I'm here today just for this incompetent brat!"

"How could he be your nephew?" Zhang Xiaolin was surprised.

"It's a long story," Chang Yao seemed a little melancholy, "This guy's eldest brother came from my family. Before he passed away, he asked me to take care of his only brother. I'm getting old, and this is what I worry about in my later years.

Incense, although I knew this kid was messing around, I didn't expect him to be so reckless. I came here to intercede for him today, but who knew he was so bold and wanted to threaten you, junior brother. I really have no place for this old face.

So, I beg my junior brother, for my sake, spare him this time so that I can fulfill my promise to my apprentice and leave a note for them, the Lin family!"

After Zhang Xiaolin heard Chang Yao's words, seven or eight thoughts went through his mind in an instant. He stared at Chang Yao, with a hint of bitterness in his voice, "Brother, you have agreed with them to embarrass me!"

Chang Yao hurriedly waved his hand, "Junior brother, what you said is wrong. All the mistakes you made are my fault. I will bear all the responsibility." After saying this, he made a gesture to salute Zhang Xiaolin.

Zhang Xiaolin grabbed him and sighed, "That's it, that's it, I promise you."

Zhang Xiaolin glanced at Lin Xiaotang with a cold gaze. "You are indeed a hero. You killed my people, cheated on me, and found foreigners to support you. In the end, you even invited my senior brother to be your lobbyist. But you want to

Understand, it is not easy for me to take advantage of someone. One day, I will get my capital back with interest."

Although Lin Xiaotang was a little surprised that Wei Yao came forward, Zhang Xiaolin had already said soft words at this time, and he also understood the principle of giving up when it was good. Then he followed Chang Yao's instructions and offered Zhang Xiaolin a cup of tea and said some words to suit the occasion.

The goal has been achieved. Wan Molin, Chang Yao and Lin Xiaotang immediately stood up and left. Before leaving, Lin Xiaotang respectfully handed a document bag to Zhang Xiaolin's hand, saying that it was a specially prepared thank you gift to express his apology.

Although Zhang Xiaolin was itching with hatred, he still took it in public.

After everyone left, Zhang Xiaolin returned to his seat. For safety, the subordinates on the side checked the document bag first, and then handed the contents to Zhang Xiaolin, "Boss, it's nothing special, it's just a ledger."

Zhang Xiaolin took it, took a quick look, and stood up suddenly, "Young man, how dare you do this!" After saying that, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

When going back, Wan Molin deliberately shared a car with Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang, and let Lin Xiaotang get into Chang Yao's car, leaving room for the two to talk.

Chang Yao in the car didn't speak. Instead, he couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaotang with a smile. Lin Xiaotang finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and said thank you.

Chang Yao waved his hand and said angrily: "You kid, there is no need to be so polite to me. I just want to ask you, why have you never used the contact information Bai Qi gave you?"

"Bai Qi", Lin Xiaotang was surprised. He did not expect to hear this name at this time. Admittedly, during the most difficult period when he first arrived in Shanghai, he also thought of following Bai Qi's instructions to find the man named Yu Gong.

However, the pride in his heart made him give up the idea in the end. Because he just wanted to get everything he wanted with his own hands.

"Are you the apartment owner?" Lin Xiaotang asked.

Chang Yao shook his head, "My father-in-law has gone to Nanjing. What happened this time was that Wan Molin came to see him before, so he asked me to keep an eye on your movements before leaving."

Lin Xiaotang thought for a long time and finally expressed the question in his mind, "My husband and I are not relatives, so why does he want to help me?"

Chang Yao chuckled, "If you want to know the answer, wait until your apartment comes back and you can ask it yourself!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled coquettishly.

"What did you give Zhang Xiaolin just now?" Chang Yao asked curiously.

The answer is very simple. The document bag just now contained one of the account books obtained from Feng Jinzhong. Lin Xiaotang explained that he knew that Zhang Xiaolin was bound to retaliate, so he came here today with complete preparations. He would

This account book was given to Zhang Xiaolin to warn him that if he insists on clinging to Lin Xiaotang, then the dirty things recorded by Zhang Xiaolin and Feng Jinzhong behind the Japanese will be revealed to the world. Which one is more serious? I believe Zhang Xiaolin

He will definitely think it over carefully. In this way, if he wants to deal with Lin Xiaotang again, he will use the most deadly weapon.

Chang Yao couldn't help but nodded, "Wonderful! I didn't expect that in just this play, you would use so many connections. Wan Molin, Dragon King, and the Consulate were all pulled over by you to use your strength. Now

, Zhang Xiaolin is definitely going to end up dumb. It seems that my visit today was in vain, haha!"

After breaking up with Chang Yao, Lin Xiaotang returned to Kehua alone. After this incident, Zhang Xiaolin's reputation in the concession and his own strength were severely damaged. In a short period of time, he could no longer pursue Lin Xiaotang's ideas.

.This is what Lin Xiaotang had expected a long time ago, so he has ordered Guo Zhui, Lin Huaibu and others to lead their brothers back to Kehua Hotel with great fanfare. The recruitment of manpower that had been stalled before must be restarted, because what is coming next

During the trip to Nanjing, Lin Xiaotang urgently needed to strengthen his strength.

The Dragon King also sent his sister Long Yulan to contact him. Previously, the Dragon King attacked Zhang Xiaolin's fleet with all his strength and gained a lot of money. He robbed a large amount of smoke and tungsten ore. The smoke was Zhang Xiaolin's private property, and the ore was from the Japanese.

It's necessary. The Dragon King sent Long Yulan to mean that he would work with Lin Xiaotang to divide the goods. Lin Xiaotang waved his hand and handed over all the private goods such as tobacco and soil to the Dragon King. As for the tungsten ore, he would first

Store it. After all, this is an extremely important strategic material. Lin Xiaotang meant to find a way to hand it over to Chongqing.

Long Yulan disagreed, saying that the lives of their brothers and sisters were saved by Lin Xiaotang and Huoyan. With such a harvest this time, it would be impossible if Lin Xiaotang didn't accept a part of it. Long Yulan immediately decided that the ore would be left to the Dragon King.

Send someone to keep it and wait for Lin Xiaotang's dispatch at any time. As for the batch of private goods, the Dragon King will find a way to deal with it, and then they will find an opportunity to send the money.

Lin Xiaotang asked about Huoyan's condition, and Long Yulan immediately became energetic. According to her, Huoyan's injury has improved greatly. He has been able to walk around these days, and I believe he will be fully recovered in another ten days.

Lin Xiaotang couldn't help but joked: "I just don't know if Miss Long is willing to let him back?"

Long Yulan suddenly blushed.

Lin Xiaotang noticed Long Yulan's embarrassment and felt that it was not appropriate to speak like this, so she had to laugh to divert the conversation.

"Miss Long, I wonder what your and your brother's next plans are?"
