Chapter 20: Appearing

Lu Yuan said that he would go, and his performance was very neat, ignoring the hitchhiking passers-by who waved to him on the street, Xu Huanshan pulled the rickshaw and ran wildly, and it took less than half the time when he came, and the sweaty Xu Huanshan returned to a secret stronghold of the underground party in the concession. Xu Huanshan is not the main person in charge of the underground party in Shanghai, there are at least two levels of leadership above Xu Huanshan, after hearing the news brought back by Xu Huanshan, the high-level leaders of the underground party in Shanghai immediately started a discussion, and like Xu Huanshan, they are also very interested in that batch of machinery and chemical raw materials.

"I don't know who that kid is, but I'm sure he's not our enemy. Judging from the scene where we were hunted down by the Blue Coat Society last night when we were connecting with the hippo, his skills and reaction are the only unexplained suspicions at the moment, but I speculate that the kid is most likely innocently involved. And he didn't show disgust at me stalking him, just warned us not to harass the people around him, as for what he said, I think we can give it a try, if the matter of machinery and chemical raw materials is true, it is good news for Yan'an. ”

Xu Huanshan was talking about this matter with the underground party leaders in the house, but he didn't know that the guard post outside the house had been knocked unconscious, and when Xu Huanshan gave a warning, Lu Yuan, who was holding a short gun with his face covered, had already broken into the house. A very simple strategy to let the tiger return to the mountain, Xu Huanshan, who was unaware, took Lu Yuan to find their secret stronghold, looking at Lu Yuan who walked in with a masked face, Xu Huanshan only felt that his whole body was about to collapse, and he didn't realize that Lu Yuan followed him all the way.

"Everyone, the kid came to look at Haihan uninvited." Lu Yuan used the short gun in his hand to signal Xu Huanshan and the others not to act rashly, and then looked around at the people in the room, and finally landed on the middle-aged man standing beside Xu Huanshan. "I'm the kid who wants to do business with you, I came uninvited because of time constraints, but also to show sincerity, as for the guard post you set up outside, don't worry, I just knocked him out but didn't want his life."

Lu Yuan's preemptive voice made Xu Huanshan and the others very uncomfortable, but everyone knew that this was not the time to conflict with this masked boy, although Lu Yuan had already lowered the muzzle of the short gun in his hand, they really didn't dare to make too big a move. "I've asked your people to bring back the message, and I'm sure he's already told you all, I don't know what your seniors are going to do? Whether it succeeds or not, I need your attitude now, my time is very precious. Lu Yuan spoke slowly, but raised his foot and kicked a guy who suddenly got up to the ground.

Lu Yuan's actions immediately caused everyone to become nervous, but they didn't want Lu Yuan to kick over the person, so he just chuckled, "I just said, I'm here to do business with you, but I don't want to hurt people." If you don't want to do this business, I can leave immediately, you don't have to treat me like an enemy, I don't want to hurt the peace. As he spoke, Lu Yuan deliberately winked at Xu Huanshan, but the depression in the latter's heart became even more vigorous.

Lu Yuan's sudden appearance and unreasonable behavior made the top leaders of the underground party present angry, but they had no way to reprimand Lu Yuan for a while, because no one dared to ignore the short gun in Lu Yuan's hand. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lu Yuan smiled with some disappointment, "It seems that you don't want to do this business with me anymore, but that's fine, it saves me from repeating the previous words, and from now on, I don't want your people to appear in my life." ”

Seeing that Lu Yuan had the intention of leaving, Xu Huanshan was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak rashly. "Little brother, please wait." Xu heard Xu Huanshan's heart, and someone in the top echelons of the underground party in Shanghai finally spoke out to break the cold situation. "We've heard from our own people about the situations you just mentioned, but I have a question. Now that you've got the information about that Japanese trading house, why do you want us to cooperate? Wouldn't it be better for you to have it to yourself? ”

Lu Yuan turned around and looked at the other party with a smile, "It's not impossible to swallow it alone, but I need someone who takes the initiative to come out and carry the black cauldron, I think your underground party is the most suitable candidate." Lu Yuan's words are actually taboo, especially since this is still the secret stronghold of the underground party, hearing Lu Yuan say such things, the other underground party leaders are already angry. Lu Yuan saw the expressions of the other people, and then stretched out his hands and made a slightly calming motion, and when everyone calmed down, Lu Yuan explained slowly.

"Your people were hunted down when they were connecting, and I was at the scene at the time, and I judged that those people were all from the Blue Coat Society, but after I left, I thought about it a little, but I found that things were not as simple as you expected. I shot 10 of those men in black to death, and all of their weapons were in my hands, except for a few common pistols on the market, and two of them were using Japanese-style southern pistols. I guess what that means, you don't know, do you? The Blue Coat Society doesn't use Japanese stuff. ”

"You're saying the Japanese were also involved in the operation?" Before Lu Yuan's words fell, Xu Huanshan hurriedly asked, if there is anyone else who will be obsessed with what happened outside Paramount Gate, it is none other than Xu Huanshan, who has experienced it firsthand.

"As I said, this is just a discovery and inference of mine, and it cannot be used as a final judgment. But these unusual signs pointed to the Japanese, but unfortunately I didn't have time to carefully examine the bodies of those men in black, otherwise I would have come up with the right answer. Lu Yuan's words were inspired by feelings, and just based on certain physical characteristics, he could tell that there were many ways for the Japanese to be used in the network of later generations, but the underground party leaders in the room were sneered at Lu Yuan's words.

"How sure are you of the big business you said earlier?" Xu saw that Lu Yuan had no ill will towards the underground party, and the conversation between the two sides relaxed a lot, but out of consideration for the safety of the underground party organization and his comrades, the senior member of the underground party who took the initiative to talk to Lu Yuan just now still asked the question in his heart.

"As long as the action is carried out according to my plan, the chances of success will be very high, I dare not say 100% success, but there is still a ninety percent certainty, but the premise is that the people you send must follow my orders." The other party gave face, and Lu Yuan, who was originally aggressive, took the opportunity to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, but he did not tell all the plans he had already thought of. "Only by giving up a small amount of money can you make a fortune, the 1911 pistol I wanted, I have to take it now, the bullet, you can give it to me later."

"Mo Han, we don't know the details of this kid, how can you promise him? Now, you got a 1911 pistol for nothing, and you brought it back from the United States. Seeing Lu Yuan leave easily, the top leaders of the underground party immediately quarreled, and even blamed Xiao Mohan for not agreeing to cooperate with Lu Yuan and providing his own guns to the other party.

Xiao Mohan didn't care about everyone's accusations, but just whispered to Xu Huanshandao, "Old Xu, you go and deliver the bullets, and then ask about the time when the plan will be implemented, the machinery and chemical raw materials that the kid said are too important to us." In Xiao Mohan's view, it is a very cost-effective deal to exchange a 1911 pistol for Yan'an for a batch of scarce machinery and chemical raw materials on the market, after all, he does not often use the American 1911 pistol.

Lu Yuan, who left the secret stronghold of the underground party, was full of joy, he had reached out uncontrollably more than once to touch the American 1911 pistol pinned to his waist, among the pistols that Zhao Lei had access to in his later life, it was the most famous American 1911 pistol, and it had the longest service period in the army. Although the 1911 pistol he got was not the two he was expecting, Zhao Lei was already very satisfied, and the American 1911 pistol he just got was almost brand new.

"Mr. Hansen, I need to find a machine shop to make some gadgets, yes, a machine factory that can generally process hardware accessories will do." Zhao Lei called Hansen, and half an hour later, Zhao Lei found the British-run hardware factory according to the address Hansen said, and Hansen's assistant Huffman also waited at the gate of the hardware factory early.

Lu Yuan, who left the secret stronghold of the underground party, did not return to his residence immediately, but deliberately slowed down his speed and circled outside the underground party's stronghold. As expected, a few minutes later, Xu Huanshan's figure appeared in Lu Yuan's sight. "What's the matter? You're here to bring me bullets, right? Lu Yuan's gaze fell on the heavy cloth bag in Xu Huanshan's hand, and that undisguised face made Xu Huanshan very annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't show his anger to Lu Yuan.

Reaching out to take the cloth bag that Xu Huanshan reluctantly handed over, Lu Yuan didn't open the cloth bag to take a closer look, just weighed the weight of the cloth bag, and then put it in his left hand with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't ask for your guns and bullets for nothing." Xu Huanshan's expression at this moment made Lu Yuan laugh secretly, took out a piece of paper in his right hand and handed it to Xu Huanshan, and deliberately admonished. "This is the time and place for our meeting tomorrow, and don't forget, there must be three people I want who can drive."

More than 50 bullets were exchanged for only a piece of paper, looking at Lu Yuan's back that was about to disappear, Xu Huanshan, who was still standing in place, didn't know whether he should be happy or continue to be angry. Watching Lu Yuan's back disappear, Xu Huanshan returned to the stronghold, and after seeing the piece of paper that Xu Huanshan got back, Xiao Mohan secretly laughed at Xu Huanshan's depressed expression, and expressed his admiration for Lu Yuan's thoughtfulness.
