Lu Yuan, who had a good night's sleep, went to the Rose Bar early the next morning, and Hansen was not surprised that Lu Yuan had visited so early. "Mr. Henry, I need your help now, and in order to ensure that tonight's operation goes smoothly, I need your help to find me a factory that can process metal products, and I want to make some small things that I can use tonight." Last night, everything had been negotiated with the underground party, but Lu Yuan still prepared some of the things he needed according to his original idea.

For Lu Yuan's request, Hansen seemed a little surprised, but while he was quite surprised, Hansen did not inquire about what important things Lu Yuan needed to process. "Of course, Lu, I said it, I hope we will be friends, and it is natural for friends to do some small favors with each other." Hansen not only agreed to Lu Yuan's request, but also specially sent a man named Hoffman to handle the matter.

Lu Yuan did not reveal his dealings with the underground party to Hansen, and followed Hoffman to several metal processing factories run by foreigners, and Lu Yuan finally took a fancy to the hardware factory of the Englishman Henry. "Henry, this is Lu, a friend of old Hansen. Lu wants to borrow your machinery here to make some small things, I heard that your coffee here is very good, why don't we two go have a cup of coffee first, and talk about some topics that we are both interested in. ”

Hoffman's attitude towards Henry was far less than his appearance, and he didn't give Henry a chance to refuse, so he reached out and dragged Henry, who had an elongated face, to the office of the hardware factory, leaving Lu Yuan alone in the slightly empty processing workshop. The reason why Lu Yuan takes a fancy to Henry's hardware factory is because Henry has a combination lathe made in Sweden here, compared with the machine tools produced in other Western countries, although the Swedish goods look bulky, but the operation is not cumbersome.

The things that Lu Yuan wants to process in this hardware factory are actually not complicated, but for people in this era, they are extremely advanced. The metal gun silencer, this is what Lu Yuan wants to process and make here, there is no need for too high-end materials at all, only a section of steel pipe and necessary mechanical equipment, Lu Yuan can process a gun silencer suitable for the 1911 pistol.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Yuan first disassembled the 1911 pistol he asked for from the underground party, and then used a lathe to put a wire on the barrel before he began to process the silencer he needed. However, a quarter of an hour later, Lu Yuan processed two silencers suitable for the 1911 pistol, but these two iron pipes that had just been removed from under the lathe could not be regarded as real silencers, and Lu Yuan also needed to add some other small accessories to the iron pipes.

Half an hour has passed, and the two silencers in Lu Yuan's hands have been completed, and it will be fine, and Lu Yuan also used the tools here to disassemble the two 38 rifles that he took out of the storage space. When he came to Shanghai, Lu Yuan's main purpose was to change the gun, because he wanted a weapon that could give full play to his abilities. Separated the barrel and body of the 38 rifle, according to his original idea, Lu Yuan carefully measured the barrel length of the 38 rifle after the disassembly, and already had a specific idea in his heart.

In Lu Yuan's mind, what he needed was a main weapon that could fire single shots or burst shots, like the assault rifles equipped by special forces in later generations. However, after Lu Yuan dismantled the two 38 rifles, he suddenly found that his idea was difficult to realize in Shanghai, because he could not find suitable materials for changing the guns. Modifying a rifle is actually very simple, especially for Internet young people like Lu Yuan from later generations, but it is still the 30s, and in the old China of the 30s, it is difficult for Lu Yuan to find suitable materials for changing the gun.

After searching the processing workshop of the entire hardware factory, Lu Yuan still couldn't find suitable or even alternative materials, and Lu Yuan, who had nothing to do, had to put the disassembled 38 rifle into the storage space first, but he did not dispel the idea of modifying the rifle, and he already had a more feasible plan in his heart. Hoffman and the factory owner named Henry chatted very speculatively, and when Lu Yuan finished all the processes and walked out of the processing workshop, Hoffman and Henry chatted non-stop, and learned that Lu Yuan only processed two short iron pipes, and Henry didn't ask much.

Hansen sent Hoffman to help Lu Yuan, on the one hand, to negotiate with Henry, and on the other hand, to monitor and observe Lu Yuan. But Hoffman was a mechanical layman after all, and even Henry, who was the owner of the factory, couldn't see anything, and Hoffman couldn't see what the two iron pipes were for. Lu Yuan didn't have the heart to explain anything to Huffman, and after returning to the concession in Hoffman's car, Lu Yuan said goodbye and left, and told Hoffman to prepare the vehicle needed for the operation before dark.

"You're going to do it tonight?" Hoffman's surprise by Lu Yuan's explanation, not only him, but even Hansen didn't expect Lu Yuan to choose to do it tonight.

"yes, without further ado, I've decided to act tonight. If it is too late, it may not only be in the air, but may also arouse the vigilance and investigation of the Japanese. Lu Yuan had no intention of arguing with Hoffman, in his opinion, Hoffman, who was tall and tall, was just an assistant to Hansen, and there was no need for him to argue with an errand runner.

After explaining Hoffman's intention to Hansen, Lu Yuan went to the secret stronghold of the underground party in the previous concession, and did not pay attention to the surprised eyes of the other underground party members, Lu Yuan only informed Xu Huanshan to prepare the necessary manpower for the operation before dark. Like Hoffman, Xu Huanshan also had doubts about Lu Yuan's move tonight, including those high-ranking members of the underground party, who also thought that Lu Yuan should be safer.

"If you want to make this big business, you have to believe me, otherwise, we can break up. By the way, all the machinery and chemical raw materials in the firm belong to you, and everything else in the firm belongs to me, and I don't want anyone involved in the operation to suffer from pink eye at that time. Ignoring everyone's reaction at all, Lu Yuan turned around and left, and when he walked to the door, he turned around again and said, "By the way, I'm just waiting for you to get to seven o'clock, I won't wait when it's over, your people know where to look for me." ”

"This kid is really arrogant, I want to teach this kid a hard lesson." Lu Yuan's attitude left a deep impression on everyone in the underground party, only Xu Huanshan, who had seen Lu Yuan's skills, didn't care at all, a person who could shoot 10 members of the Blue Coat Society at one time and be unharmed did have the qualifications to be arrogant. Lu Yuan got rid of the people provided by Hansen and chose to cooperate with the Shanghai underground party, mainly for insurance, compared with the underground party, Lu Yuan did not trust the manpower provided by Hansen. Shanghai Beach is mixed, all kinds of people are haunted by it, and once what Lu Yuan wants to do is revealed, it will definitely cause an uproar.

This is not the case with underground parties, which already have a strict organizational structure, and it is not absolutely strictly scrutinized to become an underground party. Even if there will be one or two traitors in the underground party, in general, Lu Yuan would rather believe in the underground party than dare to trust the people sent by Hansen. Leaving the secret stronghold of the underground party, Lu Yuan did not return to his residence immediately, the action has been determined tonight, and before the action, Lu Yuan still needs to observe the trading house that Han Sen said in advance.

The time they agreed with Xu Huanshan was 7 o'clock in the evening, and before that, Lu Yuan walked around the firm that Hansen said several times by himself, until Lu Yuan used a full-view map to observe the firm inside and out very thoroughly, and then took a rickshaw to the Rose Bar. Lu Yuan, who took the rickshaw, didn't even arrive at the Rose Bar, but met Xu Huanshan and his party on the way, although Xu Huanshan did not have the slightest connection with the few people who followed him, but Lu Yuan had already seen that these people were with Xu Huanshan.

"Please, don't wear the same shoes when you come out next time, as long as someone pays attention to your shoes, it is not difficult to see that you are in a group. And a few of you, it's better to be natural when you walk, don't stare directly at the people in front of you, you look at the pedestrians all over the street, who walks like you? Without saying hello to Xu Huanshan first, Lu Yuan first commented on the few people brought by Xu Huanshan.

"Yo, you're still not convinced? Are you going to teach me a lesson on the street? Seeing that some of those people were already glaring on the spot, Lu Yuan suddenly laughed. Look at the people on the left and right, which one do you know is a gangster? Which one is the bag of the concession patrol room? Or are there any blue-clad people among them? You don't know anything, so you want to teach me a lecture in the street, I think you are impatient and want to die. ”

Lu Yuan's ridicule made Xu Huanshan's face tense, and then he turned around and shouted coldly at those people, "You guys give me some light, I forgot to say anything to you when I went out?" Xu Huanshan was clearly teaching the people he brought, but in fact, he didn't want to give Lu Yuan a chance to tease them again, so Lu Yuan had no choice but to give up and continue to provoke those people, and instead honestly walked towards the rose bar hundreds of meters away.

"I'll go to the Rose Bar in a while, I'll go in by myself, you guys are waiting around now, and when I get the car keys, you can take someone to step on it with me first." At this time, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and Lu Yuan, who was walking among the pedestrians, didn't care that anyone would notice the whispers between him and Xu Huanshan, it was not daytime, even if he met someone from the Blue Coat Society, Lu Yuan estimated that the other party would not be able to see his appearance clearly.
