My years of espionage

Chapter 719 Common Enemy

"Third Brother, it's time." A Lai took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

"Wait." Xia Wenqiao tilted Erlang's legs, put his right hand on his legs, and beat rhythmically.

What is being sung on the stage is "Wang Zuo Broken Arm".

Alai nodded and didn't make any more noise.

Before, he would still be noisy, saying something like 'Why did Cheng Qianfan let the third brother wait for him', but now he won't say these things.

He's not a fool, 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is now tyrannical, they are the ones who feel the most directly.

A Lai retreated to the side and continued to listen to the play, shaking his head and humming the words of the play.

Recently, the third brother has become obsessed with this play. He has listened to it more than a dozen times just with him, so he can sing the words of the play.

……

At this time, three black cars lined up and parked downstairs.

Three men with short guns got out of the car in front of them, looking around vigilantly, while the bodyguards in the car behind surrounded them, guarding the car in the middle.

"Third brother, Cheng Qianfan is here, and he brought a woman with him." A Lai took a look, and came over to report in a low voice, "It's that woman named Ying Huaizhen."

A smile appeared on Xia Wenqiao's face, and he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Does this mean that he intends to talk about cooperation?

The current Cheng Qianfan has become the "Xiao Cheng Boss", which is not the same as the "Xiao Cheng Inspector" two years ago.

"Where's Xiaoying?" Xia Wenqiao asked with a frown.

"Miss is there." Alai said, "Miss said, since she may not be needed, don't bother her."

Xia Wenqiao looked in the direction of A Lai's finger, and saw his sister with a camera hanging around her neck, taking pictures on the stage.

He couldn't help rubbing his forehead.

For this younger sister, he has a headache.

Xia Xiaoying likes opera, not only like listening to it, but also singing. She secretly joined Zhao's Class in Yingbin Building two years ago. Today, Chunxiang from Zhao's Class is Xia Wenqiao's own sister. This is already a half-open secret in Jianghu.

Xia Wenqiao doesn't like girls singing in public, and often reprimands her.

Xia Xiaoying's answer is plausible:

She likes to sing operas, put on costumes, and sing on stage, seeing the fuss of the foreigners in the audience, she is very satisfied, and feels that it is rare for a Chinese to be superior to others.

"Go ask Miss to come over." Xia Wenqiao said.

……

"The two of them seem to hate seeing each other later." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.

"Sister She is naughty, I'm laughing at you." Xia Wenqiao shook his head and gave a wry smile.

Xia Xiaoying chatted with Ying Huaizhen for a while, and the two women actually had a pleasant conversation.

Xia Xiaoying showed Ying Huaizhen the photos she took, and invited her to take pictures; Ying Huaizhen glanced at Xiao Cheng, saw Cheng Qianfan nodding, and then went to the side to take pictures with Xia Xiaoying and chat carefully.

……

'Mr. Xiao Cheng' and 'Hei Saburo' exchanged pleasantries for a while, and soon got to the point.

"Brother Cheng." Xia Wenqiao's face was gloomy, "Don't you think I, Xia Wenqiao, am a fool?"

Cheng Qianfan took a sip of his tea lightly, and was not angry at Xia Wenqiao's attitude, "Don't worry, Third Brother Xia, what do you say?"

"My people go and fight that old guy directly, your people hide behind and take the last shot." Xia Wenqiao snorted coldly, "When the time comes, both me and that old man will be hurt, and you, Mr. Cheng, will sit by the side. Take advantage of the fisherman."

"No, no, no." Cheng Qianfan shook his finger, "Brother Xia, that's wrong."

He smiled slightly, "First of all, if you really want to count, I am a soldier and you are a thief!"

He looked at Xia Wenqiao with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Naturally, you are the ones who rush ahead, and I wait for the opportunity behind."

As he spoke, he shook his head, "Brother Xia, don't worry, listen to me."

Xia Wenqiao looked at him coldly.

"Furthermore, 'Both will hurt'?" Cheng Qianfan shook his head and smiled, "Brother Xia, you think too highly of yourself. If you can break a tooth of Zhang Xiaolin, it's a big deal."

Xia Wenqiao showed embarrassment and anger, as if he wanted to get out of anger because he was pointed out so mercilessly in person.

"If 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is here today to amuse and humiliate me, Xia Wenqiao, then..."

"Third Brother Xia, please be safe and don't be impatient." Cheng Qianfan got up and poured tea for Xia Wenqiao himself, "I haven't finished talking yet."

After speaking, he sat down, took out the cigarette clip, and motioned to Xia Wenqiao, who snorted coldly, and Cheng Qianfan smiled, took out a cigarette by himself, lit it by himself, and took a light puff.

Exhaling smoke from his nasal cavity, 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' had a gentle smile on his face, "Your third brother Xia can knock out a tooth of that old guy, I, Cheng Qianfan, worked hard enough to make Zhang Xiaolin lose another tooth." Just a tooth."

Hearing what Cheng Qianfan said, Xia Wenqiao's complexion improved a lot.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan got up and went directly to the window. He pointed to the busy pier in the distance, "Brother Xia, wait and see."

……

Xia Wenqiao was a little confused, so he went to the window to look. He thought something had happened, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Looking at Xia Wenqiao who looked over with questioning and puzzled eyes, Cheng Qianfan raised the corner of his mouth, "It's all money."

After Shanghai was opened as a port, it was only across the river from the Puxi Concession. Although there was a need for a ferry across the river, the distance was the shortest and the water transportation was convenient. (PS1)

As a result, foreign companies built docks and opened factories here one after another.

For example, Yingshangxiang Pig Iron Works, Nisshang Huang Shipyard, Anglo-American Tobacco Factory, Yingshang Maosheng Spinning Mill, Rihua Spinning Mill, etc.

There are also the warehouses of British merchant Taikoo Pudong warehouse, Taikoo Huatong warehouse, French merchant Yongxing warehouse, German business Ruiji foreign company Huoyouchi, etc. are also located here.

Previously, the South Warehouse of the China Shipping Merchants Bureau of the National Government was also here. After the fall of Shanghai, this warehouse was also occupied by the Japanese and requisitioned by the Japanese military.

"Why did Zhang Xiaolin attack me, and why did he follow you?" Cheng Qianfan asked Xia Wenqiao, pointing to the Huangpu River in the distance.

"Black market, freight." Xia Wenqiao said, "Zhang Xiaolin finally couldn't bear to do it."

Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded.

Both Xia Wenqiao and Zhang Xiaolin belonged to the Green Gang, but strictly speaking, Xia Wenqiao was the one who was far away in Hong Kong at this time.

Zhang Xiaolin has long been envious of the black market transactions that Xia Wenqiao has mastered, especially the freight channels. He did not dare to do it because of Du Yuesheng's powerful influence before.

Now that Du Yuesheng is avoiding disaster in Hong Kong, Zhang Xiaolin feels that he has the support of the Japanese, and he has been coveting for a long time, and finally he can't help but do it.

Recently, Xia Wenqiao's black market business has had accidents one after another. The goods were robbed, and the cargo ship was thrown with defused bombs.

Xia Wenqiao naturally knew who was behind the scenes.

Although he is also the No. [-] member of the Shanghai Youth Gang, his strength is far from enough in front of Zhang Xiaolin, and he is worried about this.

At this time, Cheng Qianfan personally called Xia Wenqiao. Facing Zhang Xiaolin, the common enemy, the little friction between the two before was not a big deal at all.

……

At this moment, a large ocean-going ship that had already docked began to unload passengers, and the pier was crowded with people.

Passengers with large and small bags walked on the road below the theater building.

"Sister Zhen, let me take a photo for you." Xia Xiaoying signaled Ying Huaizhen to lean against the wooden railing on the second floor, and shouted.

PS: Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, thank you.

　PS1: Do you guess where this is now?
