"Child, Robert's greatest wish before his death was to take you back to the United States, and I also have Robert's shares in my Rose Bar, I can count these shares as money and hand them over to you, you should take Robert's ashes back to the United States first, I will take care of this side of the matter and then go to you." With Mike's help, the priest who came to replace Robert presided over the funeral for Robert, but the stubborn Tang Cheng still wore a filial piety for Robert under the advice of the handyman, and he planned to set up a funeral hall for Robert in the backyard of the church.

The situation in Shanghai is getting more and more serious, and even Mike is a little unsure of what to do, so he urges Tang Cheng to leave Shanghai and go to the United States. "Uncle Mack, Robert said he was injured by a sneak attack by the Japanese, the despicable Japanese smeared poison on the blade, Robert treated me like a son, I will stay and avenge him." Tang Cheng, whose eyes were red and swollen, rejected Mike's kindness, and even the money that Mike wanted to give him, Tang Cheng refused.

"Son, you said the Japanese killed Robert, but do you have any proof? If there is no accurate evidence that the Japanese did it, the consulate and the concession officials will not be able to do anything to the Japanese. Robert hopes that you can live well, and will never agree to you to take revenge on the trouble of the Japanese, and you should listen to me and go back to the United States as soon as possible. Robert has taught you English since he was a child, and you should have no problem living in the United States, and I will come to you soon. ”

Robert's accidental death made Mike's spirit also a little trance, Robert said to himself that someone in the U.S. consulate was secretly betraying information to the Japanese, he didn't believe it, now it seems that Robert may have been assassinated by the Japanese because of his awareness, and the person who noticed Robert's suspicion should be inside the U.S. consulate, and it is likely that Robert's acquaintance is the person. The congressmen controlled by the big conglomerates only have interests in their eyes, and they do not care about the lives of Robert and small people like themselves, just as they shout to stop Japan's invasion of China on the one hand, and export weapons steel to Japan on the other.

Mike suddenly remembered that when he was in the bar, Robert seemed to be a little speechless and stopped, could it be that Robert knew what would provoke the assassination of the Japanese? Mike was frightened into a cold sweat by the conclusion he had deduced. In this case, leaving Shanghai is the best way to go, but the immediate delay is to get Tang Cheng out of Shanghai for the United States first, and Mike will leave China later after he finishes his bar and recoups those investments.

"There is a guest" The acquaintance found by the church handyman stood outside the mourning hall and shouted, and Tang Cheng, who was teary-eyed, raised his eyes and looked over, it was Hou Xiaotian and his group of friends, who should have skipped school to come to see themselves. "You are here" Tang Cheng, whose throat was aching, smiled weakly at Hou Xiaotian, but in Hou Xiaotian's opinion, Tang Cheng's smile was even more ugly than crying, Tang Cheng, who had knelt all night, looked indeed a lot haggard, coupled with his red and swollen eyes and the white filial piety belt on his head, Tang Cheng looked so helpless and thin.

"We're here to send off Father Tang, Tang Cheng, you have to mourn." Xie Xiaoli, who was simple-natured, saw Tang Cheng's appearance, and cried for no reason, Hou Xiaotian, several male students who often came to the church to play, also had red eyes, and only Xiao Yalan was quite normal, and after persuading Tang Cheng in a low voice, he went to bow to Robert's coffin. Robert is the priest of the church, and the people he gets acquainted with on weekdays are all foreigners in the concession, and most of them can't accept the Chinese-style funeral, so the priest who came to replace Robert greeted them in the church, and only Hou Xiaotian and Mike came to the backyard of Tangcheng.

Tang Cheng has been living like a scheming child under the protection of Robert, and Robert's death and the words he confessed to Tang Cheng before his death made this young man who had just passed 19 years old grow up a lot at once. Tang Cheng first learned to hide his thoughts, he wanted to seek revenge from the Japanese, and wanted to go to Xie Bo for help, but Mike was still here, Tang Cheng knew that if he insisted on telling Mike that he was going to take revenge on the Japanese, he couldn't say that this Uncle Mack, who looked a little fierce, would tie himself up and throw him directly into the cabin of the plane, so he couldn't let Mike know his plans.

"Uncle Mack, I promise you, but I will wait until I finish the first seven for Robert before leaving Shanghai, and there are still a lot of Robert and I things here that need time to be packed, can you give me a few more days?" Tang Cheng's change of attitude made Mike very happy, in front of Hou Xiaotian and them, Mike didn't say anything, just left some money for Tang Cheng and hurriedly left to do his own business, Mike wanted to find the guy who betrayed Robert to the Japanese.

"Xie Xiaoli, I want to trouble you with something." Seeing Mike leave the backyard of the church, Tang Cheng turned his face to look at Xie Xiaoli, who was crying, "I want to use your car, is it okay?" You can wait here for me first, and I'll go out and find someone, and I'll be back in an hour. Xie Xiaoli, who was teary-eyed, still had the bother to ask Tang Cheng what he was doing with the car, anyway, the car was parked outside the church, and Tang Cheng used the car if he wanted to.

"Monkey, you help me take care of Xie Xiaoli and them, I'll be back after a while, if Mike, who left just now, comes back to me, you tell him that I'm going to buy yellow paper." Tang Cheng changed out of his filial piety clothes, grabbed a few banknotes from the drawer, hurriedly got into Xie Xiaoli's car, and galloped away. Tang Cheng naturally went to Yangshupu, Xie Bo's barracks was in Yangshupu, Tang Cheng, who was eager for revenge after a sudden change, didn't know who to go to for help, and Xie Bo, who had a gun, naturally became his first choice.

"No, no, there's nothing you're looking for here, Commander Xie, hurry up, if you don't leave, be careful that Lao Tzu will send you to prison to eat prison food." Tang Cheng found the field where Xie Bo had brought him to according to his own memory, and he clearly remembered that Xie Bo's headquarters was in a certain section of the trench in this wasteland. But here was stopped by a few policemen with barricades, Tang Cheng reported Xie Bo's name and said that he was looking for someone, but those policemen said that there was no military camp in front of them, and they drove Tang Cheng away one by one.

"Boy, hurry up, this is not where you came, you see there's nothing here, there's something better, hurry home, leave quickly." The older sheriff was kind enough to persuade Tang Cheng to get into the car. Seeing Tang Cheng's car leave, these policemen who set up roadblocks changed their arrogance just now, and the talkative sheriff leaned over and pulled out a telephone from the bushes, picked up the handle, and whispered a few words, telling Tang Cheng about coming to Xie Bo.

Tang Cheng didn't look for the wrong place, he walked over the barricades set up by the police and walked out of a woodland not far away, and the trench Xie Bo and they dug was in that woodland, but Xie Bo's company had already moved to the station, and Tang Cheng couldn't find Xie Bo even if he went in. Hongqiao Airport was the trigger for this Sino-Japanese dispute, and Xie Bo's 1st Battalion was the vanguard of the 88th Division, and after the reconnaissance of Shanghai's intelligence was reported to the divisional headquarters, Xie Bo's company immediately drove to Hongqiao Airport.

Using the regular army to pretend to be a security guard is a method proposed by Zhang Zhizhong to confuse the Japanese army, and since the Japanese army in Shanghai can restrain their expatriates to confuse the Chinese, why can't the national army use a blindfold to confuse the Japanese army? The Ministry of Military Affairs has already drawn up a plan for the transfer of troops, but such a large-scale move of troops is bound to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and it is not possible to fire the first shot; this is one of the orders issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs to Zhang Zhizhong; but it is impossible not to be prepared for battle, and replacing the security team with a regular army is the only rule for mobilizing troops.

Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, lowered his eyes, his expression was extremely depressed, Robert was dead, and Xie Bo, the only person who could help him avenge, could not be found, Tang Cheng didn't know what to do. Although Mike, the owner of the Rose Bar, promised to take care of himself, he didn't know anything about Mike, and Robert had told him not to trust others easily before he died. Since Mike said that he and Robert were good friends, and Robert still had a stake in Mike's Rose Bar, why did he say that Robert died at the hands of the Japanese, but Mike didn't want to avenge Robert?

The more Tang Cheng thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became, the car drove to the door of the church, but Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the back seat, looked a little stunned and didn't know how to get out of the car, or the driver of Xie Xiaoli's house spoke, Tang Cheng suddenly realized and hurriedly got out of the car. The backyard was still miserable, Mike was not there, only Hou Xiaotian and a few of them were burning paper money for Robert, and Tang Cheng, who was exhausted, was glad that he still had these friends.

"Tang Cheng, just now the priest in front of me brought an iron box, saying that it is all Robert's things, you can put it away yourself, I think you may be able to think of Father Robert when you see these things." After a few words of greeting, Hou Xiaotian took an iron box and handed it to Tang Cheng. The latter then remembered that Robert had said before he died that there was money in the box under his bed, and perhaps this box was the one under Robert's bed.

"Guns?" After Tang Cheng opened the box, he saw Robert's pistol at a glance, which was one of Robert's favorite things, and Tang Cheng often saw Robert wiping this pistol at night. Rubbing against the cold iron, Tang Cheng's eyes lit up, a gun can kill, a knife may not kill the Japanese, but he can use this pistol to kill the Japanese to avenge Robert. The idea of killing the Japanese to avenge Robert kept churning in Tang Cheng's mind, and as for how many Japanese to kill, Tang Cheng himself didn't have a plan, maybe until Mike put himself on the plane and left Shanghai.
