Hans promised Tang Cheng to help him find suitable manpower within three days, but even Hans himself did not expect that in just one night, his men would come from the slums in the concession according to Tang Cheng's request.
, and found a dozen alternative targets. Tang Cheng, who received a call from Hans early the next morning, was secretly happy. If he could find a suitable candidate, not only could he leave Shanghai immediately, but maybe the plan could also be implemented in advance.
Tang Cheng was in a good mood after leaving his residence, but after he bought a copy of today's newspaper, his mood suddenly turned bad.
When Tang Cheng left Chongqing and rushed to Shanghai, Zhang Jianghe told Tang Cheng two secret ways to contact the Shanghai Station. Tang Cheng, who had completed the anti-rape mission, did not feel that he still needed to contact the Shanghai Station, so he pointed
They planned to leave Shanghai as soon as possible. The Shanghai Station, which had been unable to contact Tangcheng for a long time, became anxious, so they published a missing person notice in the newspaper according to the method sent by the military command headquarters. This was the last method to contact Tangcheng.
.
The missing person notice used for communication may seem ordinary, but in fact, it has the function of conveying news in terms of format and word count. Zhang Jianghe told Tangcheng that the total word count of the missing person notice is 21 words, which can neither be too long nor too short.
There are few, and the missing person notice will also have specific words to indicate Tang Cheng’s identity. If the Shanghai Station wants to use the missing person notice to contact Tang Cheng, it needs to publish an notice with a maximum of 32 words in the newspaper.
, homophones will be used in the notice to indicate the place and time of the meeting.
On the newspaper that Tang Cheng was holding at this moment, there was such a missing person notice. When Tang Cheng saw this missing person notice, he didn’t even need to count the words of the notice carefully, he already understood that this was the Shanghai Station.
After taking the initiative to contact him, Tang Cheng was very conflicted. The task of eradicating rape had been completed, and the most important thing he should do now was to return to Chongqing immediately and return to his family. But on the other hand, he concluded that Shanghai Station would definitely not
If someone takes the initiative to contact me for no reason, there must be something important that needs to be found.
Tang Cheng has always been very hesitant about how to deal with the relationship with the military commander. As he retained the memory of this later generation, of course he knew that following the military commander would have no good consequences. However, after coming into contact with the military commander in this era, he realized that the original
In the military, there are also many heroic warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country and the nation. Vision and status determine a person's perspective and method of dealing with problems. Tang Cheng now agrees with this statement, but he is still very conflicted.
and hesitation.
Just like now, anxious to return to Chongqing
He went out happily, but immediately saw the missing person notice published in the newspaper. If Tangcheng chose to ignore it and return to Chongqing, the big bosses at the military command headquarters might be angry and look at Tangcheng's missing persons notice.
His father spared Tang Cheng for his sake, but as Zhang Jianghe, who had a close relationship with Tang Cheng, was bound to be deliberately squeezed out by those at the military command headquarters, or even framed. After much hesitation in his heart, Tang Cheng decided to fight Hans first.
I called and postponed the recruitment for a day.
"Tang, we are friends. If you are in trouble, you must tell me!" Hans in the restaurant office did not hear anything wrong with Tang Cheng on the phone, but he was habitually vigilant and still expressed his concern.
Hans's words made Tang Cheng feel warm in his heart, but the matter was related to Shanghai Station. Even if he and Hans were familiar with each other, it was impossible to tell Hans about it. Tang Cheng was naturally lying.
Nothing happened, he just said that he had something to deal with and told Hans not to worry.
After hanging up Hans's phone, Tang Cheng called a rickshaw and rushed to the French Concession according to the time and place mentioned in the missing person notice. Because of Tang Cheng's previous consecutive attacks on the Special High School Action Team, even the security environment in the concession was
Even the best French Concession is now filled with panic. On the road to Tangcheng, many suspicious-looking men have been seen. These people pay careful attention to everyone who passes by them, obviously looking for someone or something.
Tang Cheng has a young face and is dressed like a rich young man. Considering that he can now speak fluent Shanghainese, those men who looked suspicious did not regard Tang Cheng on the rickshaw as their target of attention. Tang Cheng
He remained calm, especially when Shanghai Station actively sent out a contact signal, and Tangcheng did not want to cause trouble. The rickshaw called by Tangcheng was very fast and steady, and soon arrived at a place across the street from the meeting place, but in Tangcheng
When Cheng got off the bus and paid for the bus, something unexpected happened again.
Tang Cheng chose to get off the bus here because he planned to secretly observe the situation around the meeting place. After all, the situation in the concession looked chaotic, so he had to be careful in everything he did. Tang Cheng got off the bus and was taking out money from his pocket when suddenly
He heard two gunshots from the street not far away from him, and then there were several men in black chasing a man and a woman towards him.
Ran over. Things like chasing people, such as seeking revenge or collecting debts, happen almost every day in the concession. These things that may cause riots in other districts have become commonplace in the Shanghai concession.
But this time it was different. After all, a gunshot was fired. Along with the shouting and shouting after the gunshot, passers-by who heard the gunfire fled in all directions. Many of them, like Tangcheng, went straight into the street.
Take shelter in the shops nearby. The sound of gunshots means trouble. The passers-by are as scared as the shop owners on this street. Of course, there are some who are not afraid of trouble, such as the shop that Tang Cheng got into.
, although the shop owner was a middle-aged woman, she did not close the shop in a hurry like other shop owners.
Tang Cheng ignored what the female shop owner was saying. He just looked out through the window facing the street and happened to see the man and woman being chased running past the door of the shop. He didn’t know him! This was the man and woman Tang Cheng saw.
’s first reaction, and then he secretly judged the identity of the man and woman. Of the men and women that Tang Cheng saw, only the young woman was holding a pistol in her hand. Judging from the appearance of the pistol, it should be a Browning pistol.
Most of the people who use this kind of commercially available pistol in Shanghai are engaged in intelligence work.
Tang Cheng did not go out of the store, but continued to wait in the store like everyone else. Until the men in black who were shouting to catch up had gone away, Tang Cheng followed the others out of the store and stood on the street.
After glancing in the direction where the men in black disappeared, Tang Cheng didn't stop for much, and immediately turned around and left. However, the direction he left was the direction of the street where the gunfire suddenly rang out just now.
Chinese people like to watch the excitement. There was a gunshot at the street entrance, but the people who fired and chased them had already left. When Tang Cheng walked to the street entrance, there were already many people at the street entrance talking about the shooting.
Tang Cheng came here just to find out what happened just now, but he was quite cautious. He was worried that there might be some plainclothes among these people. Tang Cheng would just listen and not tell, and at most he would be regarded as a young man who loves to join in the fun.
.
There were quite a few people here at the street entrance who saw what happened just now, so Tang Cheng quickly figured out what had just happened here. When he learned that the men in black were all gang members in the concession, Tang Cheng frowned secretly.
When talking to Hans on the phone, Hans informed Tangcheng on the phone that the Special High School had found many gangsters who were living in the concession to come.
Search for resistance forces in the concession for them. Listening to the people around him talking about what just happened, Tang Cheng was worried. He guessed that the man and woman who were chased just now were either members of the underground party or the military commander.
Tang Cheng, who pretended to join in the fun, immediately left the street after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, because the middle-aged man with the loudest voice looked very strange. Tang Cheng, who was worried about the plainclothes people here at the street, chose to leave. At this moment, he was so far away
There is only less than half an hour left for the meeting, and Tang Cheng needs to rush there in advance to make some preparations. The place to meet Tang Cheng at Shanghai Station is a cafe called Half Corner in the French Concession. Wait until Tang Cheng really sees it
When I visited this cafe, I finally understood why it was called Half Angle.
The Banjiao Cafe is located at the corner of the street. Sitting in the cafe, you can see both directions of the street through the street window. When Tangcheng saw the Banjiao Cafe, he did not choose to wait outside, or first looked through the Banjiao Cafe.
After walking around outside the cafe to confirm the situation, he just crossed the road and entered the Banjiao Cafe without any pause. As usual, Tang Cheng did not choose a remote table, but chose a table next to the window.
The view here is wide and easy to leave.
Sitting under the window, Tang Cheng looked no different from the other people in the Banjiao Cafe. It was just that while the others were drinking coffee and chatting, Tang Cheng was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Tang Cheng was alone.
He looks very relaxed, but in fact he is not relaxed. While paying attention to other people in the store, he also observes the situation outside the cafe through the street window. As the meeting time gets closer and closer, he cannot confirm the situation of other people in the store.
Tangcheng had no choice but to activate the Insight Technique.
As soon as the insight skill was activated, Tang Cheng could see the situation of other people in the store at a glance. No one from the Juntong Shanghai Station appeared. Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he came to Shanghai this time to work for the Juntong, Tang Cheng
There is still a wariness against military reunification hidden deep in the city. Especially during this period, Shanghai Station has been repeatedly surrounded and pursued by the Special High School. If there is no problem in Shanghai Station itself, Tangcheng will not believe it even if he beats him to death.
It is for this reason that Tang Cheng is cautious in everything. As time passes, the Banjiao Cafe, which originally had few customers, begins to have a few male and female customers. Tang Cheng's expression also changes accordingly.
Tang Cheng sighed secretly in his heart and put his hand on his forehead. It seemed that his hunch was not wrong. There was really something wrong with Shanghai Station!
