At the Big Shanghai Nightclub, Ding Lixi was visibly startled when he heard his subordinates reporting Li Jie's visit. Of course he had heard of Li Jie, a popular figure in the Muto Mansion, but there was no contact between them, but the Xingrong Gang was deeply rooted in Shanghai.
, he is not worried about Li Jie coming to find trouble.
"Mr. Xiao, I wonder why you are here this time? If I remember correctly, there is no intersection between us."
Li Jie said calmly: "Of course not, but as the largest gang in Shanghai, the Xingrong Gang is very powerful. Xiao is here to make a deal with you this time."
Ding Lixi said calmly: "Oh? I wonder what you are going to sell?"
"intelligence!"
Ding Lixi's eyes lit up: "Come with me!"
Li Jie followed Ding Lixi all the way to an office door. Ding Lixi knocked on the door and said.
"Brother, here comes another information seller."
"Come in!"
A deep and deep voice came, and Ding Lixi opened the door.
"Mr. Xiao, please!"
Mr. Xu sat up straight and looked at Li Jie carefully with critical eyes.
"Mr. Xiao, I have admired you for a long time!"
Li Jie smiled slightly: "Mr. Xu's name is also well-known, and it is indeed extraordinary when I see him today!"
Mr. Xu looked contemptuous and said: "We should really thank the military anti-traitor team for bringing us so much business. Mr. Xiao is the tenth traitor to come to me this month."
"By the way, do you mind if you are called a traitor?"
Li Jie chuckled and uttered four words: "Hutchison Matheson."
Mr. Xu's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and he asked gloomily: "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"
Li Jie whispered: "Mr. Xu is a smart man, why bother pretending to be confused."
Ding Lixi shouted angrily: "You!"
Mr. Xu lowered his hands slightly and said calmly: "Lixi! You go down first!"
Ding Lixi has followed Mr. Xu for many years and knows the boss's temperament very well. Mr. Xu clearly doesn't want him to know about this matter. He knows very well that it's not that Mr. Xu doesn't trust him. Sometimes the less you know, the safer it is.
The two met during a chase. Ding Lixi was a rickshaw puller at first. Later, Ding Lixi stepped forward to save Mr. Xu during a chase. Since then, Ding Lixi has become Mr. Xu's right-hand man.
After Ding Lixi left the room, Mr. Xu said coldly: "Mr. Xiao, you can talk now."
Li Jie was no longer trying to be pretentious: "Mr. Xu, Wu Teng Mansion recently detected an abnormal radio wave. The radio wave came from the direction of Wusongkou. I don't need to say more about the rest."
Mr. Xu's expression changed and he said in a bad tone: "Who are you?"
Hutchison & Co., Ltd. is a trading house secretly controlled by the Xingrong Gang. The Japanese have been severely cracking down on material trafficking since they occupied Shanghai. Shanghai is one of the important foreign trade channels. Since the transportation line was cut off by the Japanese, many materials cannot be transported.
Transported to the Kuomintang-controlled area.
In order to reopen the route, Shancheng finally reached a secret agreement with the Xingrong Gang after many mediations, of which Hutchison was a part.
Li Jie sighed: "In today's troubled times, everyone has their own way of survival, so why bother asking? Isn't it the same for Mr. Xu?"
Mr. Xu glanced at Li Jie with a half-smile: "This is my territory, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of here?"
Li Jie smiled silently and narrowed his eyes, looking at Mr. Xu up and down with a very stern look.
Mr. Xu suddenly felt a chill and laughed after a while.
"How brave! Thank you so much this time! I wonder what kind of reward Mr. Xiao wants? Money? Women? Or information?"
Li Jie took out a photo from his coat pocket and handed it to Mr. Xu. The person in the photo was none other than Sun Zumin.
Mr. Xu frowned: "I wonder what Mr. Xiao wants to do?"
Li Jie chuckled: "Sun Zumin, a gangster, I want him to disappear quietly. This is not difficult for the Xingrong Gang, right?"
"That's it? Are you sure?"
Li Jie nodded: "I know that Mr. Xu has a habit of keeping records. I hope this transaction will not be registered."
In fact, even if Li Jie didn't mention it, Mr. Xu would not have planned to register this transaction. After all, the Hutchison Company matter was very sensitive, and Li Jie's mentioning it was just to add insurance to avoid being found out and getting into trouble in the future.
Sun Zumin is a time bomb. In the original book, it was he who killed Hu Yibiao's men in the casino, which then led to a series of subsequent events. As for Sun Zhengqing, Li Jie has not yet thought about how to deal with it.
Judging from the contacts during this period, Sun Zhengqing's behavior was normal and there was no sign of betrayal. Li Jie planned to wait and see.
When Mr. Xu saw this, he did not ask what the grudge was between the two: "Don't worry, I guarantee that this matter will be handled without anyone noticing."
Dealing with a gangster was a piece of cake for the Xingrong Gang. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Li Jie didn't stop any longer, just said hello and left.
Ding Lixi returned to the office after Li Jie left and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Boss, do you want me to send my brothers to teach him a lesson?"
Mr. Xu shook his head: "Forget it, he is a celebrity in the Muto Mansion. It is said that the top nobles in Japan, the Ashikaga clan, also admire him very much. It is better not to cause trouble in extraordinary times."
Li Jie did not go home directly after leaving the Shanghai Nightclub. Instead, he headed to the French Concession, No. 26 Fukaisen Road, one of the secret contact points of the military command controlled by Li Jie. This location was discovered when he was following Zhuang Xiaoman's partner Lao Dao.
of.
The Japanese counterfeiting legal tender is by no means a temporary act, and the precautions must be very strict. If they want to sabotage this operation, they may not be able to do it only by relying on the power of the Red Party. Li Jie came today mainly to observe whether this contact point is still there.
No, if the Blue Party doesn't respond after the intelligence is handed over, this will be an insurance policy.
The next day, Li Jie walked towards Jiren Library after getting off work from the Muto Mansion. In principle, Li Jie could not go there if someone was following him, but the news this time was too important, so he could only take one risk.
.
Sun Zhengqing was a little surprised when he saw Li Jie. Li Jie came to the counter and picked up the book in his hand and said.
"Sir, I have finished reading "Rong Zhai's Essays" and I am here to return the book this time."
As he spoke, his fingers tapped the word "Zhai" on the cover three times without leaving any trace. This was a code word for the two of them to get better in advance, indicating that they were being followed and it was not convenient for them to meet.
During the last meeting, Li Jie guessed that Minami Yoko might send someone to follow him. If any emergency occurred, Li Jie would use the punctuation points added in the book as cipher text and hide the information to be conveyed in the book.
Sun Zhengqing replied calmly: "Wait a moment, I'll register."
After the registration was completed, Li Jie left the library without stopping. Sun Zhengqing was very anxious at the moment. In order to prevent an accident, he was worried that the secret agents following Li Jie would monitor him. Sun Zhengqing waited until the library was closed before daring to take any action.
