The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 60 Advance and retreat together
You know, if you "steal well" that night, you can really make a big difference.

Because Boss Zhao had not been released yet, the cooks and waiters in the store were so scared that they ran away, fearing that the soldiers would arrest them as well and leave the store empty.

In other words, the thief who broke into the house was not looking for property, but for the things left behind by Wan Yuanchang.

It seems that Gao Wensheng did not search thoroughly enough, allowing the Zongshe Party to take away important information.

What could it be?
Could it be with the Japanese again?

Jiang Cheng held his chin up in thought. No wonder they didn't riot when the Mongolian bandits entered the city...

Now that I think about it, these people must have taken the things hidden in the floor tiles and then ran away.

It doesn’t matter where you slip away to, the key is to roll away from his territory.

"Very good, now it's time to clean up the Black Dragon Society in the city."

Jiang Cheng closed the book with a snap and looked up at Zhao Laishun who was standing across from him with a nervous look on his face. "Haha, Boss Zhao, you're really too modest!"

"You've memorized everything in this city, big and small, cats and dogs, trivial things, so is there anything you can't do?"

"Isn't this beautifully done?"

This guy has a sharp mind, and he can be so meticulous, so he must have some connections in Xinmin.

No matter how thief or robber, they can always be used by you.

Before leaving for the provincial capital to take the entrance exam, he must be recommended to Gao Wensheng. With time, maybe this man can set up an intelligence agency.

Hearing the bad-tempered young master's praise, Zhao Laishun first breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended to be pitiful and said: "Oh, my young master Jiang, I feel relieved by your words!"

"Ah, but this task of yours is really difficult for me to handle. It's really difficult!"

I heard him complain again and again about sending people to inquire in the city, and how he had to record every big and small matter carefully every night, for fear of missing your instructions...

Jiang Cheng was amused by these words. He stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I know you are careful in your work. I've made a note of it for you!"

"I didn't bring much money today, so I'll give you these first!"

He took out the two silver dollars that he had been rummaging in his trouser pocket for a long time and slammed them on the table. Jiang Cheng gave him a few more instructions and told him to do it well, and he would reward him later. Then he left the inn in a swagger.

After strolling along Chaishi Lane for a while, Jiang Cheng felt the summer heat was already fading and still made him feel uncomfortable. He was in no mood to stroll around anymore, so he hailed a rickshaw to go home.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard someone calling him from behind. He jumped out of the car and looked back. The first thing he saw was two horses - Pingchuan and Huixin, the siblings from the Hai family.

Having learned that the Military Academy was about to open, Jiang Cheng planned to take Hai Pingchuan with him to take the entrance exam. In addition to laying the foundation for his future "direct line", they could also take care of each other during school.

But, I didn’t say I would bring this unruly young lady with me!
However, out of politeness, Jiang Cheng still paid the fare and went to greet them: "What a coincidence!"

"Thank you for your hard work on this hot day..."

Hai Pingchuan was always a man of few words. He gave a simple smile and responded gently. But his beloved sister said bluntly, "That's right!"

"It's so hot, what are you doing, Jiang Feilan? Why are you calling us here in such hot weather?"

Jiang Cheng said indifferently: "Excuse me, Miss: When should I call you over?"

"you……"

Clearly realizing that she was being bullied again, Hai Huixin opened her mouth but chose not to argue.

She was not stupid. She knew that Jiang Cheng was not giving in to her and was very vicious, so she did not fall into his trap.

"I'm so hot, can you give me some water to drink?" Hai Huixin looked at Aunt Chen who came out to greet her and immediately tilted her head and jumped up to her, "Aunt Chen! I'm so hot, do you have any soda or iced drinks?"

"Yes, yes, we have them all!"

Aunt Chen always liked this cute and beautiful young lady. She smiled so hard that her face was wrinkled. "Master and Master Hai, please come into the house quickly. I have made a big pot of sour plum soup and am waiting for you to come back."

Jiang Cheng would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this, but when he heard about the sour plum soup, his throat really felt like it was burning.

He turned around and smiled as he pulled Hai Pingchuan in. The three of them sat down and drank two bowls of sweet and sour iced drinks, and the heat soon subsided.

The topic soon turned to the main business of the Military Academy. Hai Pingchuan had studied in a private school for six years and had been in the military camp with his father since he was a child, so the entrance examination should not be difficult for him.

"Master Shuai called me before and told us to go to the city together and stay at the Governor's Mansion..."

"I'm afraid this matter is not simple. They probably want to find some ways to deal with the opponent from us."

Jiang Cheng briefly explained the matter and then said, "I have already mentioned this matter to Uncle Hai before. The reason why I asked you to come here in a hurry today without telling you in advance is that I don't want to alarm too many people."

The father and son of the Hai family were a bit stubborn in their words and deeds. He was worried that if the rumor got out, someone with ulterior motives would report it to the 28th Division.

I have completely fallen out with Lao Feng, but I'd rather avoid trouble as much as possible.

"Military Academy..."

Hai Huixin smacked her lips, "Is he really going to take the exam? Hey, I heard from Sister Yu that Zhang Hanqing is also going to take it!"

"Sister Yu has been very worried recently. She said she wanted Madam Wu to help her talk to him, but when she heard that it was Master Shuai who asked her to read it, she didn't want to read it anymore."

"I've been getting angry about this a lot recently!"

Looking back at her, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered the series of "merits" this clever young lady had done before.

Compared to this stubborn father and son, the eldest daughter is much smarter——

Moreover, he had discovered before that this girl was familiar with many socialites. Now hearing her call him Sister Yu all the time, Jiang Cheng was even more certain that this girl had quite unusual interpersonal relationships and communication skills.

"But speaking of which, Miss, we are going to the city to take the entrance exam. Why are you here?"

Jiang Cheng deliberately exaggerated his expression and tone, "You are a girl, are you planning to tell us that you want to attend the Military Academy?"

"Don't be so conceited! Who wants to go to school with you?"

Hai Huixin rolled her eyes at him, "Brother, I won't go with him either... Sister Yu is getting married, and we have been sisters for so many years, so I have to go to support her."

"Oh, so our eldest lady also has serious things to do."

Jiang Cheng pretended to have suddenly realized something, and when he saw her pouting and becoming unhappy again, he quickly changed the subject and said, "I won't tease you anymore, Miss Hai. We are going to the city together this time, and I have a favor to ask of you."

"Are you asking for help? You have to call me in a nice way."

Although she looked a little smug, she immediately leaned forward when she heard that this arrogant young man wanted to ask her something. "Tell me, do you want me to find out something again? It's nothing!"

"I knew our eldest lady would be the happiest!"

Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and smiled, then said seriously, "I got some news--"

"After Han Qing gets married, Commander Tang of the 53rd Brigade will be transferred to Xinmin."
