The Bravest

In the small private room of the coffee shop, Inspector Huang heard Sun Yuelan's dissatisfaction. He felt a little embarrassed and cursed in his heart, "What a damn pretty boy. He used such tricks to conquer such a beautiful Japanese woman." When he was about to smooth over his words, the waiter outside knocked on the door and came in.

……

After the waiter left and closed the door, Inspector Huang had returned to normal. He felt that he could not be fooled by a business card. There were all kinds of people in Shanghai, and it was hard to tell the real from the fake. "Mrs. Lin, as far as I know, the Mei Agency seems to be working in North China! How come you are in Shanghai?"

"It seems that Inspector Huang has some doubts about my identity?" Sun Yuelan was stirring the coffee cup elegantly with a small spoon. After hearing what Inspector Huang said, she put down the cup and replied. Then she picked up the steel spoon and wiped it with a napkin, smiling and said, "Inspector Huang's information may not be accurate. North China is the territory of the Bamboo Bureau. I dare not cross the line." As soon as she finished speaking, the steel coffee spoon in her hand had been twisted into a twist and gently placed on the coffee table.

Inspector Huang took a deep breath, his expression changing constantly. This damn girl is no ordinary person. She must be a spy from the Japanese Agency in Shanghai.

Lin Jie was watching Sun Yuelan's performance calmly, cursing in his heart, the little devils in Gangcun really didn't lie to me, I really can't beat them. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Lin Jie quickly tried to smooth things over, "Haha, Inspector Huang, you can't keep talking to my wife, I will be jealous, hahaha."

"Mr. Lin, I am attracted by your wife's beauty. Please excuse me. What is the matter with you today, Mr. Lin?"

"Oh, I do need your help, Inspector Huang."

"Mr. Lin, with your status, there shouldn't be anything you can't do, right?"

"Haha, it can be done, but it would be much more convenient if Inspector Huang came forward, so I would like to ask Inspector Huang for help."

"Mr. Lin, please speak. I will definitely help you if I can within my ability."

"Inspector Huang, you're joking. It's just a matter of making a phone call for you. I'm sure you can help."

Lin Jie and Inspector Huang began to test each other, and Sun Yuelan couldn't stand it anymore: "Manager, you said you would take me to the temple to burn incense in the afternoon, do you still want to go?" The violent Mei Agency agent just now turned into a delicate little secretary in the blink of an eye. Not to mention Lin Jie, even Inspector Huang opposite stopped talking in surprise.

"Don't worry, of course I will go. Wait until I finish talking to Inspector Huang before going." Lin Jie pretended to comfort Sun Yuelan, then turned to Inspector Huang and said, "Inspector Huang, we are too unfamiliar with each other. I will be frank. Some time ago, the Military Police Command destroyed the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station and left behind a lot of assets. I am here on behalf of the Military Police Command to take over. I would like Inspector Huang to help me. Inspector Huang, please feel free to propose any conditions. As long as they are not excessive, I can agree to them on the spot."

Inspector Huang heaved a sigh of relief when Lin Jie told him the purpose. It would be easy if he knew the purpose. The most frightening thing was that he didn't know the purpose and just asked for help. Who would dare to agree? What if there was a trap?

"Hahaha, that's it. No problem. As long as it's in the French Concession, it's fine. I can't say anything about the International Settlement. As for the conditions? I can't mention them. It depends on Mr. Lin's sincerity." No one can stop the Japanese Military Police Headquarters from taking over the assets left by the Military Control Commission. Even the board of directors of the Municipal Council is unwilling to offend the Japanese. It's just a matter of formalities. It's really hard for Inspector Huang to mention these conditions. If you mention too many, you'll offend people. Didn't you see that Lin Jie moved out all the spies of the Mei Agency? Don't mention it. When has the chief inspector of the French Concession ever worked for nothing? Not even the Japanese.

Seeing that Inspector Huang pushed the question back, Lin Jie smiled and looked at the cunning Inspector Huang and said embarrassedly: "To be honest, the Military Police Headquarters has not allocated funds. I personally have an orphanage with a whole family of orphans to raise, and I can't give Inspector Huang any substantial benefits. However, I can be friends with Inspector Huang. No matter what happens in the future, no matter what Inspector Huang does, just give me a call, and I, your brother, will go through fire and water for you without a word." Lin Jie patted his chest and made the promise with an attitude of great righteousness and lofty ambitions. What he actually meant was that if you want to get involved in the business, you have to be loyal, and talking about money is too vulgar.

Damn the pretty boy, trying to get something for nothing, Inspector Huang was so angry that he almost threw the coffee on the coffee table over. Even Sun Yuelan had to cover her mouth to hold back her laughter.

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, this is not polite! How can you make friends in this way? Otherwise, Mr. Lin would go through the normal procedures. I believe no one would dare to embarrass Mr. Lin. Goodbye." Inspector Huang stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"No, no, don't be impatient, Inspector Huang, sit down and listen to me." Lin Jie hurriedly asked the man to stay. The matter hadn't been settled yet. How could he let him go?

Inspector Huang didn't really want to leave. If he did, wouldn't he be offending everyone? And he didn't believe that Lin Jie asked him out just to make fun of him, so he wouldn't dare to do that. He was just pretending to leave to show his attitude.

"Well, considering your wife's job at the Mei Agency, I will listen to Mr. Lin's opinion." Inspector Huang brought up the Mei Agency as a stepping stone to show that he was not afraid of No. 76, and was only sitting down to listen to Lin Jie's nonsense to give the Japanese face.

"Inspector Huang, please take a look at this first and then we can talk." Lin Jie took the briefcase, took out a brown paper file bag from it and handed it over. Then he slowly took a sip of the cold coffee. He spoke quietly to Sun Yuelan who was sitting next to him, leaving time for Inspector Huang to look at the documents.

Inspector Huang took the file bag, which had the word "file" printed on it and a red seal with the Japanese word "top secret". There was also a small signature at the bottom of the file bag, "Military Police Headquarters". Inspector Huang had seen such file bags before, and was sure that the real Military Police Headquarters used file bags.

Inspector Huang touched the file bag with his hand, but did not open it immediately. He asked Lin Jie in confusion, "Can I see this?"

"Of course, this is my intention to make friends." Lin Jie nodded calmly.

Worried, Inspector Huang looked at Sun Yuelan again and asked the same question, "Can I see it?"

Sun Yuelan actually didn't know what was inside, but Lin Jie didn't avoid her or ask what was going on. She just nodded and replied, "Inspector Huang, please feel free to do as you please. No problem."

However, Inspector Huang was afraid that Lin Jie would set a trap for him. What if the files inside were really top-secret files, and he was given an identity as a member of the Military Control Commission? Then Lin Jie could threaten him at will in the future.

"Haha, I'd better not read the top-secret files of the Military Police Headquarters. Mr. Lin can just tell me what he means." The more Inspector Huang thought about it, the more he felt that this must be a trap. As for why Lin Jie did this, he would listen to what he said first, and then put the file bag on the coffee table.

"Haha, Inspector Huang is indeed a veteran. I have made this friend today. To show my sincerity, I can give Inspector Huang a reassurance."

After Lin Jie finished speaking, he stood up and went to sit with Inspector Huang. He opened the file himself, took out a stack of documents, and spread them out on the coffee table.

Inspector Huang watched Lin Jie fiddling with the documents, still wondering what Lin Jie was up to, without noticing that Sun Yuelan, sitting opposite him, was holding a miniature camera and snapping away.

Inspector Huang was suddenly caught by the flash of a camera. He stood up abruptly, pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at Lin Jie's head and shouted, "Mr. Lin, how dare you screw me."

Sun Yuelan on the opposite side was not slow at all. He took two photos with the camera in his hand and put it down. He quickly took out a small Browning pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Inspector Huang. He said coldly: "Inspector Huang, you'd better sit down and talk."

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense. Veins on Inspector Huang's forehead throbbed and cold sweat broke out. He had sent the bodyguard to the next room and had overlooked this woman. He was careless and this was not going to end well today.

Lin Jie sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, Inspector Huang. Sit down and take a look! You will know that I am a good brother after you see it. Take a look."

Inspector Huang did not put down his gun, and struggled patiently. It was true that he was greedy for money and power, and was not a good person, but he had never thought of becoming a traitor. This time he might be in trouble. Even if the bodyguard heard the noise and rushed over to kill the two men, the Japanese would not let him go. He had no choice but to leave Shanghai, but could he bear to do so? Well, let's take it one step at a time!

"Inspector, are you okay?" At this time, two bodyguards broke open the door and rushed in, pointing their guns at Sun Yuelan.

After thinking for about half a minute, Inspector Huang sighed inwardly and waved to the two bodyguards, "Stand by the door and don't let anyone in."

After the bodyguard went out and closed the door again, Inspector Huang dropped the gun on the coffee table. He picked up the stack of documents and said to Lin Jie, "Is this your sincerity? I'd like to take a closer look to see if it's enough." Although he compromised, the Chief Inspector's dignity could not be lost.

"I promise that Big Brother Huang will be satisfied." Lin Jie called him "Big Brother" affectionately, not caring at all that he was pointed at with a gun. However, he casually took Inspector Huang's gun from the coffee table and played with it: "Good gun, really good gun." After saying that, he sat down on the sofa opposite. Sun Yuelan also put away the gun in her hand, and sat down next to Lin Jie in a well-behaved manner. She picked up the camera and took two more photos of Inspector Huang who had already started to read the documents.

Inspector Huang rolled his eyes and said without getting angry, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. Just consider it as a greeting gift for you calling me Big Brother. And Miss Kyoko, didn't you take a picture just now? One picture is enough! Don't keep going on and on."

"Oh, my husband was here just now. Now I'm going to take a few photos of Brother Huang alone."

Sun Yuelan's words made Inspector Huang stunned. Yes, the two of them are together. If they want to die, they will die together. Who is afraid of whom? I was fooled. Now I don't even have a gun. Shit. Forget it. I'm done for today.

"Yuelan, how could you treat your brother like this? Return the film to Brother Huang quickly. You have to be loyal when you're out there in the underworld, okay?" Lin Jie shamelessly taught Sun Yuelan a lesson.

"Hubby, I don't want to. If something happens to you, what will happen to me and the child?" Sun Yuelan put the camera back into the briefcase and hugged Lin Jie's arm to act like a spoiled child. Not to mention Lin Jie, even Inspector Huang across from him couldn't stand it. "Miss Gongzi, stop pretending. I was fooled by you just now. You look like a virgin! How can you have a child?"

"Oh, why did Brother Huang say that? It will definitely happen in the future."

Inspector Huang, who had boarded the pirate ship, didn't bother to pay attention to her and began to read the documents carefully. Five minutes later, the shocked Inspector Huang stared at Lin Jie and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure?"

"How about it, do you understand? Is it sincere enough? I said I am loyal to my brothers." Lin Jie said arrogantly. "Brother Huang, can you help me with that?"

"Oh, that's just a small problem. I just don't understand. You've paid a huge price. Don't you have any ideas of your own?" Inspector Huang felt that Lin Jie was not telling the truth. "Since you've dragged me into this, you should let me die with a clear conscience. This way, I can have a clear mindset when I'm the number one person in charge."

"Well, what Brother Huang said makes sense. Then I'll explain it clearly. As for taking over the assets, it was really a lie to Brother Huang. I didn't represent the Military Police Headquarters. I only represented Major Okamura of the Special Intelligence Investigation Office of the Military Police Headquarters. Taking over part of the properties can be understood as our family's. Do you understand?" Lin Jie spoke frankly to prevent Inspector Huang from having doubts and being unable to act freely. Besides, he was looking at the photos of the Military Police Headquarters' top-secret files, so he didn't dare to turn hostile.

"Lin Jie, you are so fucking bold. And Miss Gongzi, you are not from the Mei Agency, right? Damn it. You dare to cut the flesh of the Japanese. If something goes wrong, you can't even be a traitor. Who are you?" Inspector Huang was going crazy. He thought that the Mei Agency wanted to drag him into the water to work for the Japanese. He didn't expect Lin Jie to dare to snatch food from the Japanese. He thought that Gangcun and other things were just a signboard used by Lin Jie to deceive people. As for Sun Yuelan, the sister of Gangcun promoted by the Japanese, who knows if it is true. Even if it is true, she should have been deceived by Lin Jie, a pretty boy. Women are all emotional. What can't they do for their men? .

"Haha, in Shanghai, if you want to stand out, you must not be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. Don't worry, Brother Huang, it's not all the assets, just a small part, there is no problem. This is the information of the real estate to be transferred, not much, only six foreign-style buildings. This little bit of real estate is really wanted by Major Gangcun, and for more than one person. Is it worth it for me to take out this document?" Lin Jie took out another piece of information and handed it to Inspector Huang.

After reading the information, Inspector Huang breathed a sigh of relief. A few houses were indeed not a big problem. After all, the police station was not a pushover. They were just trying to get some benefits. Even if the Japanese knew about it, they would not pursue it too much. But what was Lin Jie doing? He would not believe that he was just making friends.

"Mr. Lin, you'd better make it clear what your real purpose is. You would never take out this document just for such a small matter. I don't want to die without knowing how." Inspector Huang was still a little worried. If such important information was exposed, there would be no room for maneuver.

"Inspector Huang, do you see it clearly? There is only one month left and the information will be outdated. By then, there will be no concession left. I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid?" Lin Jie shook his head with a look of contempt.

"Okay, let's go for it. So what do you want?" Inspector Huang was stimulated by Lin Jie's expression. The most important thing was that there was no point in being afraid now, so let's do it.

"It's nothing, actually. What I want is the British and American factories in the concession. You just need to find someone and some connections to sabotage them and find a way to keep the machines. Of course, I can't take them all. As for which ones I want, we'll discuss the details later. And I'll send someone to take over, so you don't have to show up. Aren't you safe this way? Now you should believe that I have someone behind me."

"Then what can I get? I can't do it for nothing, right?" Inspector Huang decided to get on board, so it was time to talk about benefits.

"Nothing, but you can get our friendship. Here is the proof. Take a look." Lin Jie took out another thin piece of paper and handed it over with a smile. "I am the police chief issued by the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, in charge of the former French Concession area. It's just a change of name. Chief Huang, I don't know if this friendship is enough."

Inspector Huang held the letter of appointment and looked at it again and again under the light. He had also seen the paper, the seal of the Military Police Headquarters, and the signature of Kenji Doi-Yuan below. There was nothing wrong with it. Inspector Huang finally smiled.

"Hahaha, Brother Lin is indeed a loyal man. I accept this mission. After all, I have to prove my loyalty. Brother Lin should have made it clear from the beginning. I worried for nothing. We are all working for the Military Police Headquarters. Why make it so mysterious?" Inspector Huang felt relieved after receiving the appointment letter and even started joking.

"Brother Huang, remember, I do not represent the Military Police Headquarters, I only represent some of the people in the Military Police Headquarters.
