The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 354 Distinguished Guest

"Good job, bro!"

Jiang Cheng, who was always generous with his praise for his brothers, raised his hand and pinched his shoulder, "I'll give you a credit!"

Ye Hai scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. He first told him what happened, then blushed and said that he wanted to go back to his room.

He ran away before he finished beating the man, and almost knocked Yan Ziwen down in his haste.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xuecheng rolled his eyes, but Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "Hey, everyone has three urgent things!"

The assassin who was dragged into the bathroom while they were talking had been beaten unconscious by the guards;

The one who was dragged back was almost in an unconscious state.

"Master Jiang, we have already asked carefully, this guy is from the local Shanghai gang 'Shahai Gang'."

The guard pretending to be Jiang Cheng spoke. His name was Xu Fushan and he was 20 years old. "Master, this kid confessed: The boss arranged three people to go to St. John's Hospital to assassinate..."

"They said they would give them 50,000 yuan after the deal was done, and arrange for them and their families to leave Shanghai."

fifty thousand?

Judging from the nature of these bosses, at least half of the money will be kept as the "difference" for themselves.

In other words, someone has to invest at least 100,000 dollars in cash to kill me?

He gave Xu Fushan a meaningful look, then turned to his men who were interrogating him in the bathroom.

The guy who couldn't stand the torture also spilled the beans:
It’s pretty much the same as what was said about the kid brought back from the hospital, except that the bounty is a bit higher, at 60,000…and the boss behind him is the Tiansheng Gang, which operates in Zhengjiamuqiao in the French Concession.

Regarding the poisoning, both of them said they knew nothing about it.

However, Jiang Cheng felt that the two of them were probably not lying - although the people who came to poison him did not succeed, they had successfully escaped, so it was impossible for them to come and assassinate him again.

Therefore, this second echelon will not know the previous "mission", let alone know other details.

"Now that we all know who their boss is..."

Jiang Cheng shook his shirt sleeves and stood up, and said to Ye Hai who just ran in, "You and Yucheng go meet Fernando now. I want the bosses of these two families to come by noon tomorrow at the latest!"

…………

The next morning, the group had breakfast in a private room at the Peace Hotel.

They didn't like the purely Western-style meal very much, especially since they almost didn't sleep last night. Except for Jiang Cheng, the other young people were tearing bread listlessly.

"What's going on? We won the battle!"

Jiang Cheng sipped his black coffee with a smile on his face, "They are just a few local tyrants, do we really need to take them seriously?"

"I have an appointment with the French Consul this afternoon. Don't forget the purpose of our trip to Shanghai. Don't let a few 'little bastards' disrupt our trip."

Glancing up and seeing Yan Ziwen's anxious expression, Jiang Cheng looked at the Zhang brothers again and said with a gentle smile, "We are all brothers, so feel free to say whatever you want to say."

Yan Ziwen then carefully chose his words and said, "Feilan, I have a few friends in Shanghai... I heard from them that this Zhengjia Wooden Bridge is the sphere of influence of Boss Huang!"

"I'm afraid if we act rashly and provoke him, won't that be very troublesome for us?"

Jiang Cheng laughed a few times after hearing this: "I thought you were worried about something else, but it turns out you were worried about this!" "Don't think I underestimated them... No matter how powerful they are, they are just underworld gangs that are not allowed to see the light of day. To ordinary people, they are the so-called 'emperors of the underworld',"

"But if they want to compete with the army, how can they be good enough?"

Yan Ziwen was at a loss for words. Xuecheng, who was sitting opposite him, also laughed: "That's what I said. Let alone a few scoundrels, if Boss Huang really stood in front of us, I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to fart!"

Zhang Tinglan looked at him askance, but his younger brother Tingshu didn't give him face, raised his hand and slapped him on the back of his head: "Just eat, I don't like to hear your bullshit."

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed because of this funny guy. Jiang Cheng changed the subject to Yan Ziwen without leaving a trace and talked to him about meeting with the French consul to negotiate his batch of tanks...

While he was talking to him about buying equipment, Xu Fushan trotted in, bent down and whispered something to Jiang Cheng.

"Really? Then let him in..."

The next person to be brought in was the general manager of the Peace Hotel and two managers in charge of security.

He first bowed and apologized to Jiang Chenghao, then patted his chest and promised that the security work would be doubled in the future.

In addition, the general director also said that after reporting the unpleasant incident in the hotel to the boss, it was decided to waive all service fees, meal expenses, etc. during their stay.

"All the staff at the Peace Hotel would like to express their deepest apologies for causing trouble to our valued guests."

They said a few more words of apology, which Jiang Cheng found so cheesy that he pretended to be magnanimous and sent them away.

"I have to say this boss is quite good at dealing with people."

Zhang Tingshu's words were quite sarcastic.

As a local governor, how could Jiang Cheng take this little money seriously?
The attitude of the Peace Hotel is enough to prove how much the French side values ​​him as the "God of Wealth" or even the "sucker".

Great, that's a good start.

Just at ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Hai and his gang, who were fully armed, arrested all the main members of the two gangs and took them to the police station in the French Concession.

When this group of local bullies were still holding machetes and a few homemade shotguns, preparing to fight these unknown outsiders, Ye Hai gave an order and these carefully selected soldiers drew their guns and began to attack!

The scene was basically one-sided. How could sticks and machetes be a match for guns from ten steps away? Some unlucky people were beaten to pieces before they could even react.

Gang fights these days are still mainly fought with cold weapons... Who has ever seen a regular army with guns?

In just twenty minutes, Ye Hai and his men ended the battle and captured the boss who was trying to escape by swimming naked into the Huangpu River.

"Fernando and the French Consul were very angry. They said that their partners had come to Shanghai, but the police in the concession could not even guarantee basic safety."

Yang Yucheng also came back with Ye Hai. He was the one who was in charge of communicating with the French side this time. "The consul has put pressure on the chief detective of the police station to catch the real culprit behind the scenes."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "They'll come this afternoon?"

Yang Yucheng nodded and replied, "Yes. He said he was dealing with some minor matters and would come to see me right away."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I will disappear now. You and your brother-in-law should meet in my name. The key is to find out the purpose of the British."

Although Yang Yucheng was a little confused, he still nodded solemnly; but Yan Ziwen on the side said: "It seems a bit inappropriate for us two to take the lead, right?"

Jiang Cheng pushed the sofa and stood up, dusted off his trousers and said with a smile: "What's inappropriate? You two are here, which is enough to represent me!"

"The point is, I have some other things to do, so I'll leave these French guys to you two."
