Chapter 32: The Man Behind the Scenes

Xiao Yalan brought her so-called Teacher Wang to visit her twice, and her words repeatedly revealed the meaning of solicitation, Tang Cheng was not a fool, and he could hear the meaning. After hiding for a while, he couldn't hide for a while, and sent Xiao Yalan away, Tang Cheng and the teaching handyman Lao Huang said hello, and left the church and went straight to the Rose Bar in the concession, Robert said that he only had one person in Shanghai who could be called a friend, and that was Mike, the owner of the Rose Bar.

"Left?" Tang Cheng couldn't believe his ears and eyes, the rose bar in front of him was completely devoid of its former liveliness, and the door of the burnt black bar was sealed with the seal of the patrol room. Looking through the glassless window, you can still see chairs and glass shards scattered on the ground, and there is still a pool of purple-black marks on the steps near the door, Tang Cheng Zhilu said that it is a mark after the blood stains have dried.

"Young man, let's go, the owner of this bar has already run away, and I heard that a Japanese person died in the bar." The owner of the cigarette stall who talked to Tang Cheng kindly reminded him. Yes, it must be that Mike wanted to avenge Robert and killed the Japanese in the bar, and learned from the mouth of the cigarette stall owner that there were several Japanese who died in the bar, Tang Cheng immediately understood the reason why Mike fled, but now is the time when the country is at war with the Japanese army in Shanghai, even if the Japanese die in the Rose Bar, Mike doesn't have to run away?

Tang Cheng, who looked confused, walked unconsciously along the street, Mike was an American, and at most everything in the concession was taken back by the American consulate to deal with it himself, so why should he run away with his life. "Oh, little red guy, I didn't bring my eyes when I went out." When Tang Cheng covered his head that was hurt and rubbed it desperately, a big hand reached over and grabbed Tang Cheng's collar, he hit someone, and Tang Cheng, who reacted, tried to open his eyes that were misty because of his sore nose and looked up.

"I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to bumping into you just now." The one who was holding Tang Cheng was a man in black, but looking at the horizontal flesh on this person's face, he was not a good person. Tang Cheng, who thought of the peace of mind, couldn't stop apologizing, and struggled hard to break free from the big man grabbing his arm, no matter how Tang Cheng had experienced a battle, he was still just a 19-year-old hairy boy, where could he break open the iron pillar arm of the man in black in front of him.

"Damn, little red guy should be clear, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's strong body, he would have been killed by you. Just a few words of apology and think about it, think of beauty, take 10 pieces of ocean out, otherwise let Lao Tzu beat you, you can choose one yourself. The fist of the man in black looked the size of a rice bowl, if it was smashed with a punch, Tang Cheng's small body would probably have to faint immediately, and the passers-by next to him looked at Tang Cheng, who was grabbed by the collar, and showed sympathetic looks. But no one dared to say anything to help Tang Cheng, that man didn't look like a good person, and passers-by were afraid that he would get into trouble.

"Okay, I'll give you money, but I don't have a big ocean, give you dollars." Tang Cheng came out in a hurry today, and forgot to bring out the shell gun, but even if he brought it out and grabbed it, he couldn't do anything about this man in black, after all, this was on the street. If he took out a gun in a fit of anger and injured someone, he couldn't say that he would have to die like Mike, and after thinking about it, Tang Cheng decided to give money.

Holding a few dollar bills handed over by Tang Cheng, the man in black showed a hint of discoloration in his eyes, and just when Tang Cheng sorted out his clothes and turned around to leave, the man in black reached out again and grabbed Tang Cheng. "Little Red Guy, you say that this is a dollar is a dollar, I know that you are not lying to me, Lao Tzu only recognizes the ocean silver dollar, you hurry up and give me the silver dollar, otherwise let Lao Tzu beat me up and finish the matter." The man in black said fiercely with a pair of fierce eyes.

It seems that this bastard is determined to eat himself, Tang Cheng's mind is quickly thinking about countermeasures, and when he collides with this man in black, Tang Cheng feels very strange. Originally, he walked well on the side of the street, and the street was not very narrow, how could this man in black collide with him, there is only one possibility when I think about it, this guy is a street eater, which is also the usual blackmail trick used by Shanghai hooligans.

"Okay, you let me go first, and I'll take you to the shop in front to exchange for silver dollars." Looking left and right, Tang Cheng didn't seem to find anyone who could help him, so he had to agree to exchange the silver dollar for this man in black.

"No, how do you know if you told the shops in front of you that you want to be white-looking, no, you kid give me the silver dollar now, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat people." The man in black kept pushing Tang Cheng, and the brute force in his hand made Tang Cheng shake back and forth like a boat in a stormy sea. The injuries on Tang Cheng's body only recovered quickly, but they had not fully recovered, and after being shaken by the man in black like this, Tang Cheng felt as if he was about to vomit.

"Is it a gun?" In the push between the two, Tang Cheng's arm unconsciously touched the back of the man in black, and the feeling of being separated by a hard object made the drowsy Tang Cheng immediately conscious, it was a gun, it must be, that feeling was familiar to Tang Cheng, and the man in black had a pistol pinned to his waist. Tang Cheng is only 19 years old, but that doesn't mean he's a fool, after years of Robert's words and deeds and the experience of life and death a month ago, Tang Cheng has learned to find the answers he wants from the smallest details.

Bumped into himself for no reason, gave the dollar and forced him to ask for a silver dollar, and now found that this person was carrying a gun, all kinds of signs were combined, Tang Cheng suddenly found that this man in black and the whole thing were full of weirdness. Yes, the purpose of this man in black is not just to get a few money, his purpose is himself, or he will not force himself to take out the silver dollar now, how can the hooligans in Shanghai not know that the US dollar is better than the silver dollar, but he is kind and does not know this guy, nor has he offended anyone, is this guy looking for the wrong person?

"But you also saw that I only have these banknotes now, but you insist on silver dollars, I said to change them for you, but you refuse, what do you want?" Tang Cheng, who found the key to the problem, also came to the fire, and the hooligans and gangsters who were in Shanghai Tang Cheng had also seen it, although those people were arrogant and ruthless, but after all, they also talked about some morality in the rivers and lakes, and generally took the money and would no longer be embarrassed by the bitter master they found, but the one in front of him was obviously messing around.

Tang Cheng raised his voice, but the man in black who grabbed him was stunned, yes, the boss only said that he wanted to disguise himself as a hooligan to find out the bottom of this kid, and he didn't say that he really wanted to clean up this kid, if someone familiar with him knew that he was bullied by the martial arts instructor of the Shanghai Station of the military command bullying a stinky little ghost, then he would really have no face to see people in the future. "Give you 10 dollars, love or not." The man in black had a few more banknotes in his hand, and Tang Cheng, who struggled to break free, left without looking back.

"Director Wang, what do you think of this?" Seeing Tang Cheng walk away, the man in black turned around and got into a black car parked on the side of the road, and the two people sitting in the back seat of the car were all known to Tang Cheng, one was Xiao Yalan, and the other was Wang Lantian, the history teacher of Xiao Yalan's school. "Are we mistaken, this kid obviously doesn't look good, when I grabbed his neck just now, this kid was almost scared to pee, such a kid can kill 5 Japanese soldiers in one go, shouldn't the person who reported to us make up nonsense?" The man in black who was nesting in the front seat of the car said impatiently.

Wang Lantian, who has a rude-faced face, is not a real history teacher, the teacher is just his identity on the surface, in fact, this person is the intelligence director of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, Xiao Yalan is an agent of the Military Command, and the man in black is the combat instructor and captain of the action team of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command. Since Tang Cheng left the church, the people of the military commander have been secretly watching, Xiao Yalan and they are not here by chance today, their purpose is to test Tang Cheng and see if Tang Cheng is the person they are looking for.

"Don't worry, the Japanese army won't be able to enter for a while and a half, we still have time." Wang Lantian still had a flat face, "I think this Tang City is a city with a city, and that day in the church, I felt a murderous aura from him." How can a child who grew up in a church have a murderous aura, and the days of his disappearance were the most frequent times when the Japanese infiltration troops attacked the downtown area of Shanghai, and such a young man was actually admitted to a hospital full of wounded soldiers a few days later, don't you think there seems to be a story in the middle that we don't know? ”

Wang Lantian's words made Xiao Yalan and the man in black silent, Wang Lantian had a reason to find Tang Cheng, Shanghai saw that it was almost unbearable, the Japanese army's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, and now only the concession in Shanghai is safe. There were already rumors of the withdrawal of troops from the Military Commission, and in order to continue the War of Resistance, the military commander had already made a decision to go underground all the intelligence stations in Shanghai. The most lacking thing in the Shanghai intelligence station now is manpower, Tang Cheng knew Japanese by Xiao Yalan told Wang Lantian, and Wang Lantian had already decided that Tang Cheng was the one who killed 5 Japanese soldiers, such a person is a very good intelligence officer as long as he has a little training.

Tang Cheng tepidly rejected his two offers in a row, Wang Lantian was not angry, on the contrary, he was more interested in this young man. can read and write Japanese and have killed people, such a person is the most suitable person to enter the military command, but Tang Cheng rejected himself twice in a row, Wang Lantian had to use persecution to make Tang Cheng comply, but what happened just now made Wang Lantian also have a trace of doubt, it is rare that his judgment is really wrong? This Tang Cheng is not the person he is looking for?

"Go to the German nun named Emma, it was she who gave the Tang Cheng class the hospitalization procedures, find her, and everything will be revealed." After Tang Cheng was discharged from the hospital and returned to the church, Xiao Yalan went to the hospital to find clues related to Tang Cheng, but unfortunately the wounded soldiers of the national army who were in the same room with Tang Cheng didn't say anything.
