Outside the door of the Huijiang Hotel, a large number of citizens were still watching the excitement, and the patrol room carried the bodies out of the hotel one by one and threw them on the trucks on the side.

At this time, the citizens reacted, it turned out that there was a shooting murder in the hotel where the explosion occurred, but as the corpses were lifted out one by one, the crowd slowly became agitated, exclaiming, surprised, and talking, and finally because there were too many corpses, another truck had to be transferred, and the corpses were loaded away.

At this point, the fact that Luo Zidong and his entourage of more than 40 people were all killed in the Huijiang Hotel quickly spread to all levels of the French Concession.

In this lively crowd, two young men in suits, who had not said a word, quietly watched the patrols clean up the mess, listened carefully to the discussions of the people around them, and after a long time, they looked at each other, quietly withdrew from the crowd, and walked through two blocks together into an apartment.

These two men were the cadres of the Shanghai Station who had infiltrated the Shanghai Concession before, Lu Jian, the director of intelligence, and Yang Wenbo, the head of the operation team, who had been hiding in the French Concession these days and were nervously preparing for the reconstruction of the Shanghai Station.

As soon as they entered the door, they hurriedly reported to the stationmaster Chen Hongchi, after listening to their narration of the situation, Chen Hongchi's eyes widened when he heard it, and it took a long time to say: "It is said that Shanghai is a place where the wind and clouds gather, but it is really worthy of the name, we have only been in Shanghai for a few days, but the things that happened one after another have opened our eyes, the great turmoil in downtown Shanghai, the big explosion in the French Concession, in comparison, we have those small actions in Beiping can not be put on the table." ”

These are Chen Hongchi's sincere words, he was ordered to reorganize the Shanghai station, originally he was full of ambition, thinking of showing his strength and creating a situation, but now he knows that in Shanghai, the struggle between the enemy and us is so cruel and fierce, which is completely different from their work behind the enemy in Beiping.

Chen Hongchi continued: "A few days ago, the news of Luo Zidong's surrender to the enemy was spreading, and I also sent a special report to the headquarters to ask for details, and the headquarters replied that it was indeed true, and asked me to wait for an opportunity to get rid of this person, but before my personnel were in place, someone did it, you say, will it be the intelligence department again?" ”

Lu Jian, the director of intelligence, nodded and said, "Who else is there besides them?" I was still wondering a few days ago, how did the news of Luo Zidong's defection to the enemy come out, and now it seems that they did it, which is a clear intention to kill people.

These people are really overbearing! turned Shanghai upside down, and now he has reached into the concession again, and as soon as he makes a move, he is a big deal, and in the blink of an eye, more than 40 gunmen and bodyguards have been killed cleanly, and this action is too big! ”

Yang Wenbo also nodded with palpitations and said: "We are in Beiping, killing the president of a traitor chamber of commerce is already a big operation, then I have been preparing for nearly half a month before killing two people, but here in Shanghai, the action is so big, and the actions of the intelligence department are so powerful?" What does this make us do in the future? ”

Chen Hongchi couldn't help scratching his scalp with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "I still wanted to make some achievements before, but the intelligence department is so fierce, wouldn't we accompany the prince to study and be a foil for others?" ”

Everyone has a feeling in their hearts, looking at each other, with the outstanding performance of these peers in front, if they don't make some achievements in their future actions, I'm afraid that they really can't raise their heads, and the pressure on them from the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau is too great!

"Okay, don't mention this, it's useless to think about it now, the operatives are not in place, we are the commander of the light pole, and we can't do anything!"

Chen Hongchi saw that everyone was a little depressed, so he waved his hand and changed the topic and said, "Lao Lu, how are things going?" Are they willing to lend some? We are in dire need of money now, and we can't do anything without it! ”

The reconstruction of the Shanghai Station was very difficult, and the most important thing was the lack of money, and the General Headquarters of the Military Command Bureau allocated a sum of money to him through the central bank that stayed in Shanghai, but it was far from enough, and Chen Hongchi raised a sum of money from the Beiping Station and brought it to Shanghai.

But these two small sums of money are still fiat currency, and now in Shanghai, the market value of fiat currency has plummeted, and to put it mildly, these money have shrunk a lot halfway through.

Now Chen Hongchi is eager to exchange these fiat currencies for US dollars and pounds, but the major banks in Shanghai do not give them personal exchange at all, so Chen Hongchi tried to exchange US dollars through the four major state-owned banks, but the four major state-owned banks, the only little foreign exchange reserves they have have to be used to balance the exchange rate, maintain the only remaining commercial reputation and value of the fiat currency, and are unwilling to exchange them, even the headquarters of the Military Control Bureau is not capable of interfering in the decision of the Ministry of Finance.

So Chen Hongchi had no choice but to let Lu Jian negotiate many times, and today he let them continue to run these things.

Lu Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's impossible to borrow, but to put it mildly, a director of the Silian Branch Office finally spat out and can exchange some of it for us." ”

Chen Hongchi was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded and said: "This is the good news, the exchanged funds are reserved for reserves, and the other fiat currencies are quickly spent, put up the shelves, the headquarters is calling, our personnel will enter Shanghai in a few days, and our work must be paid attention to." ”

When Lu Jian heard this, he also opened his mouth and said: "Great, with people, our work can be carried out, but, stationmaster, our intelligence work can't keep up, when will the intelligence network that the headquarters promised to arrange for us be in place?" ”

Chen Hongchi waved his hand and said: "We can't wait for them, we will do it ourselves, now is the time when No. 76 is weak, they are too busy to take care of themselves, it is a good time for us to act." ”

A few people nodded, they had been following Chen Hongchi for a long time, and they knew that this boss was outstanding, and he had always been arrogant, so he didn't say anything, but he was afraid that he would have the heart to compare with the Shanghai Intelligence Department in his heart, and he didn't want to be left behind!

The French Concession General Patrol Room, Lei Ming and his subordinates, it took a long time to deal with the scene, and returned to the General Patrol Room, he had something in his heart, and the follow-up work was handed over to Zhang Puhe, and he walked out quickly, started the vehicle, and rushed straight to the residence of his master Chen Ting.

After entering the Chen Mansion, he rushed directly to the study to see the master, pushed the door in, and saw Chen Tingzheng lying on the rattan chair on the ground, listening to the opera with his eyes closed, his fingers rhythmically tapping the rattan chair, looking leisurely and complacent.

Hearing someone coming in, Chen Ting opened his eyes and took a look, and when he saw that it was Lei Mingming, he didn't care, and then listened to the tune, humming two sentences of Ying He from time to time.

Lei Ming saw that his master's interest was high, so he had to sit aside and wait, until the song was finished, Chen Ting straightened up and pointed at Lei Ming with his finger.

Lei Ming hurriedly stepped forward and removed the needle of the pickup on the record player, and the music stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Chen Ting asked slowly.

Lei Ming's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Master, Wan Mulin killed Luo Zidong, this is to force us to stand in line!" He did it too hard! ”

"What!"

Chen Ting's eyes widened when he heard this, he suddenly stood up from the recliner, completely lost the leisurely demeanor just now, he stared at Lei Ming, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" You tell me clearly! ”

"At noon today, Luo Zidong invited Wan Mulin to a banquet at the Huijiang Hotel, but Wan Mulin was not present at all, and as a result, there was a big explosion in the hotel, and the entire floor was blown up, Luo Zidong and his brother Yan Xing, and more than 40 bodyguards and gunmen were all killed, when we arrived, the scene was extremely tragic, and the situation where Lu Tianqiao was killed two years ago was exactly the same, there was no sign of resistance, the other party calmly replenished the gun, all of them were shot at close range, without leaving a live mouth, this is the unique method of Chongqing agents, I'm sure the same people did it. ”

Chen Ting couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, he turned sideways and walked back and forth in the room a few times, his brain thinking quickly.

Lei Ming continued: "After the murderer fled without a trace, Wan Mulin also specially sent Chai Ah Si into the hotel to confirm Luo Zidong's life and death in front of me, this is a warning to us!" Master, you said, Wan Mulin is not trying to force us to take a stand, and if we don't agree to that matter, I'm afraid it won't work! ”

Chen Ting's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said suspiciously for a long time: "I have dealt with Wan Mulin for so many years, and he has not been so domineering before?" ”

Lei Ming shook his head and said: "It must be his handiwork, Luo Zidong has been so frightened that he has been closed all this time because of the betrayal of Chongqing agents, and he has been dispatching a large number of bodyguards and gunmen to guard the home and the hospital, and he has always been safe, but today he was transferred out of the Luo Mansion by Wan Mulin, and as a result, such a thing happened, you say, who else will it be?" ”

When Chen Ting heard this, he couldn't help but believe it, things really wouldn't be so coincidental, as for the people behind Wan Mulin, they had a special relationship with the Military Command Bureau, and there was no problem at all in doing this.

Chen Ting sighed: "Alas, it's been a friendship for many years, do you really have to force it so hard?" ”

Lei Ming said with a solemn expression: "He now has the support of Chongqing, he is full of confidence, and this matter is very important, he rushed back from Hong Kong, naturally he is determined to win, and it is normal to be ruthless, but if we don't agree, he is afraid that it will not be so easy to let us go." ”

Chen Ting couldn't help but stomp his feet, and said angrily: "Alas, people sit in the house, disaster comes from heaven, I just want to live behind closed doors, but his Yuesheng is too domineering, everyone has run to Hong Kong, and he stretches his hand so long, this is to put me on the fire to roast!" ”
