40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, some agreed and some disagreed.

"Have you ever heard of Hong Kong City?" A cold voice sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

The person who spoke was Fang Feifei, who was sitting quietly nearby.

"Are you talking about that place near the sea that is as prosperous as Shanghai? I heard that place is not peaceful either!!"

"It's right here. Although it's also in the midst of war, there are many foreigners there, and it's close to the sea. We can go there to develop. In the worst-case scenario, we can follow the foreigners' ships and leave!!"

Fang Feifei's words touched many people. During this period, many places in foreign countries had not suffered from war, and many people were very curious about the outside world.

"You can try to develop in Hong Kong. If you gain a firm foothold, you will have more opportunities to cooperate with foreigners. You may be able to expand the family business overseas..." A clan member spoke, already sketching out a blueprint for the future.

Many tribesmen followed what this man said and thought about the future. Suddenly the living room became lively again, with everyone expressing their opinions.

"Fei Fei's suggestion is good. Of course, we don't have to make a choice. You can tell us what you think about these two places." Grandpa Fang asked.

"Feifei's suggestion is good. I am willing to go to Hong Kong City!!"

"I'm going to Gang City too!" Fang Shuyong stood up, a gleam in his eyes. Gang City is a brand new beginning. It's an area that the Fang family has never touched before. No one knows Fang Lai Fu, the patriarch of the Fang family. He can start from scratch there. He believes that with his own abilities, he will be able to accomplish great things, and then he will be able to surpass the head of the Fang family.

"I want to follow the master of the family!!"

……

Everyone expressed their opinions.

"How about this, everyone go back and discuss and then make a choice. I'll send someone to check the news in Hong Kong."

As soon as Mr. Fang said this, the clansmen nodded in agreement. After that, they chatted for a while and then dispersed in the villa.

At lunch time, everyone gathered in the restaurant for lunch. The table was filled with various delicacies, which looked delicious.

"Come, everyone, try these Shanghai dishes and see if they suit your taste!" Old Madam Fang called everyone over.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks, picked up the food in front of them and put it into their mouths, savoring it carefully.

"This steamed sea bass is fresh, tender and smooth..." said a tribesman as he scooped up a spoonful of fish soup with a spoon to mix with the rice, which was full of deliciousness in his mouth.

"This braised pork is fatty but not greasy, sweet and salty, delicious!"

……

The tribesmen expressed their appreciation for the delicious food in front of them.

After the meal, everyone moved to the garden for a walk to digest the food and enjoy this rare leisure time.

At around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the tribesmen gradually left. After all, there was curfew at six o'clock, and if they stayed at home for dinner, they were afraid they would miss it in time.

However, there are so many tribesmen that there are not enough rooms for them to stay in the villa.

In contrast to the warm atmosphere in the Fang family villa, supplies in the warehouse of the gendarmerie brigade disappeared again. Many prisoners in the cells were rescued despite the heavy guard of the gendarmerie brigade, and the cells were set on fire.

After a night, they didn't find any clues. In addition, they had spent a lot of time and energy, and watched the fleet that was about to be acquired was burned down by fire after spending a lot of manpower and resources.

All these things combined made the little puppet's superiors very angry, and their faces were so gloomy that water could drip out of them.

"idiot--"

The puppet's commander slammed the table in anger and said, "Our military police battalion, our base camp, was able to have someone sneak in quietly, rescue the prisoners, and steal our supplies. This is simply a shame for the empire!!!"

The little puppet's leader walked back and forth in the room as he spoke, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Sir, we have increased the intensity of patrols. It is impossible for someone to move things away in such a short time without leaving any traces. Do you think it could be... a ghost?" One person expressed his opinion.

"Snapped--"

As soon as the man said this, he was slapped in the face by his superior.

"Baga, you are disturbing the morale of the army by saying this. There can't be any ghosts in this world!"

The commander roared, in fact, he had the same idea in his heart, but as a commander, leading so many subordinates, he had to stabilize the morale of the troops.

At the same time, he roared to cover up his own anxiety and uneasiness.

The leader of the little puppet took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his inner emotions.

"Send the order to strengthen the alert and search every place in the camp. We must find any suspicious places to see if there are any secret passages in our camp. Send people to Shanghai to arrest suspicious people and investigate... whether there are any traitors among us, whether there are any hostile forces infiltrating, and also strengthen our intelligence department..."

As the puppet's commander issued orders one by one, the soldiers in the gendarmerie brigade became busy.

The soldiers stepped up patrols and conducted a carpet search of the gendarmerie brigade.

On the streets of Shanghai, soldiers stopped pedestrians for questioning and checking their IDs. For a moment, the atmosphere in Shanghai became extremely tense. People hid in their homes and dared not go out. Pedestrians on the streets were all in a panic...

The atmosphere in the Shanghai stock market remained very depressed in the next few days.

There were only a few shops open and no one was setting up stalls on the streets, so no hawking could be heard.

Many wealthy families were packing up their valuables and looking for ways to escape from Shanghai.

Some people have already taken action, disguising themselves or leaving the Shanghai stock market in batches using various methods.

The little puppet occupied Shanghai, but in order to plunder...

With the large outflow of population from Shanghai, there is no one to provide them with services or wealth.

This was not what they wanted to see, and in order to restore the market, after several days of searching the general trend, no suspicious clues were found.

So the soldiers who were sent out were called back, and the previous patrol method was restored on the surface. In order to revitalize the Shanghai market, many policies were introduced to restore the streets to their former bustle.

Although Xiao Kuizi recalled the soldiers in the open, he sent more underground personnel to travel through the streets and alleys of Shanghai to collect various intelligence.
