Chapter 179 Kang Tong's Joining(1/2)
Xiaobao likes the doll that Cheng Qianfan bought for her very much.
"I'm so happy." Bai Ruolan glanced at Xiaobao who was sleeping with the doll and said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan carefully supported Bai Ruolan back to the bedroom and lay on the bed.
"I'm not Lin Daiyu, so I can't help but be so weak." Bai Ruolan angrily glanced at her husband.
"Be careful." Cheng Qianfan leaned on the recliner, picked up the doll given to Ruolan, placed it horizontally in front of him, and practiced holding the child.
Bai Ruolan turned her head and glanced at her and laughed.
"Why are you laughing at, I'll practice in advance." Cheng Qianfan gave Bai Ruolan a blank look, "Tell me, you are so beautiful, I am so handsome, how beautiful our children are."
"I'm ashamed or not, how can I praise myself for being handsome and beautiful?" Bai Ruolan said, her eyes full of longing for a happy life in the future. "But you are right, our children must be very beautiful."
...
A rush!
A beautiful set of tea sets was thrown to the ground and broken.
"The child died early and his parents died early (there was a mother born without a father)!" Zhang Xiaolin laughed in anger and cursed.
"Shao Er is rude, Xiao Cheng is always angry!"—
If Mr. Xiao Cheng releases it in the afternoon, it will spread in half of the Shanghai beach by night.
"I'm just a little slut, so crazy!" Zhang Xiaolin was so angry that he cursed again.
Whose person is Shao Er?
Everyone knows that Shao Er is his confidant subordinate of Zhang Xiaolin!
Now, Cheng Qianfan's little bastard actually made such a statement publicly. He did not want to capture Shao Er. He did not give him face to Zhang Xiaolin, but he was slapping him in the face!
"Get out of the word." Zhang Xiaolin snorted coldly and told the butler, "Next month is the third wife's birthday, and Shao Er is responsible for preparing for the birthday party."
"I know." The housekeeper agreed and said, "Master, don't take it to your heart. Cheng Qianfan is a young young man who doesn't know how to be tall and strong. He will come to you in person sooner or later!"
"Apologize?" Zhang Xiaolin sneered, "Just apologize?"
...
"Apology is not enough." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, took the oil cake handed over by Lao Huang, rolled up shrimp paste, and ate it fragrantly.
It was the next morning.
Mr. Xiao Cheng went downstairs and wandered around the yard. He was attracted by the fragrance of Lao Huang using the small coal stove pancake in the medical room. Soon the two of them ate and drank together.
"You can't say anything, eating oil cakes, rolled shrimp paste, dried fish, and drinking rice wine, it tastes unique." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of the rice wine and said with a tsk.
"This Shao Er is very dangerous?" Old Huang also took a sip of wine and asked in a low voice.
"The hunters from Qingdong escort the fourth shopkeeper to Shanghai, and then pass through Qingdong Wharf." Cheng Qianfan took a bite of the oil cake, and the umami flavor of the shrimp filled his mouth.
He gave Lao Huang a thumbs up and continued, "The pier is the way to walk the 'Chang Sangou'."
"Shao Er's people found 'Chang Sangou' and asked him if there was any suspicious person to take Jiujiu Trading boat to Shanghai. 'Chang Sangou' said he had never seen it." Cheng Qianfan continued, "'Chang Sangou' naturally denied it, and then his legs were broken."
...
"What evidence have the New Asia Peace Promotion Association obtained?" Lao Huang asked.
"The possibility is not high." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "The whole thing is extremely secret, and the possibility of leaking is very small. Even "Chang Sangou" doesn't know the truth. He just uses money to do things."
"The situation reported by the organization was that on the way, they encountered the search team of the New Asia Peace Promotion Association. Several people killed the wild dogs and continued to rush forward." Cheng Qianfan rubbed his temples.
He continued, "This group of people is Shao Er's subordinates. They chased them all the way to the dock."
"I understand." Old Huang nodded, Shao Er's men chased him all the way, and when they arrived at the dock, they completely lost their traces of their comrades.
Although they lost their tracks of chasing, the people disappeared near the dock, so the answer seemed obvious. Their target to catch up was most likely to be boarding the ship from the dock.
"Yes, Shao Er's people naturally cannot be sure that the people were transported out by 'Chang Sangou', but this does not prevent them from locking this matter on 'Chang Sangou'."
"Is this for you?" Lao Huang made a judgment.
"The possibility is high, and this is my point of view." Cheng Qianfan sneered, "Some people are jealous of money and treat me as a fat sheep."
...
When Cheng Qianfan heard his subordinates report on this matter, his first consideration was that the enemy learned that the Qingdong guerrillas transported wounded soldiers of the New Fourth Army to Shanghai, so the enemy began a large-scale search.
This made him immediately more vigilant. Although he had already made a case, even if he found out about this matter, he would have a "reasonable explanation". However, the intelligence leak itself means a lot of trouble. How did the enemy know such a secret matter?
This is a potential hidden danger that may pose a great security threat to the organization.
One must find out.
However, he soon realized that the situation might be more ‘vulgar’ than he thought:
A greater possibility is that someone has set his sights on him, Cheng Qianfan, or to be precise, he has set his sights on the fat meat of Jiujiu Trading.
Or to put it simply, someone wants to bite a piece of meat from Jiujiu Trading.
Shao Er's people may just take advantage of the situation and try to force the escape of the person who attacked them to "Chang Sangou", and then continue to make false accusations and expand them, and fall into Jiujiu Trading.
...
"There is another possibility that your Jiujiu Trading has snatched the business of the New Asia Peace Promotion Association." Lao Huang said.
The New Asia Peace Promotion Association committed evil in the four townships, acquired the Japanese invaders, and supplied military supplies such as rice, cotton and coal that were urgently needed for the war.
With the support of the Japanese, the New Asia Peace Promotion Association's business grew bigger and bigger, and Zhang Xiaolin also made great contributions to the national crisis.
Zhang Xiaolin, whose business is getting bigger and bigger, began to realize that Mr. Xiao Cheng's Jiujiu Trading is a difficult competitor. Boss Zhang, who has a very strong rogue habit, took the lead and 'made such a thing'!
"This is what I worry about the most and feared." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "If this is the case, there will be no room for change between Zhang Xiaolin and me."
"If it were someone else who was labeled as having something to do with Japanese enemies by the New Asia Peace Promotion Association, it would have been a disaster." Lao Huang said.
Cheng Qianfan took the speech and said coldly, "But this time I will break off the two teeth of this dog traitor organization!"
Yes, first, they were charged with the "crimes of "Japanese aggression" or "sympathy for Japanese aggression". The New Asia Peace Promotion then used this reason to plunder property and bully the people, and even some gentry with wealth were also robbed by them, and they suffered a lot.
...
"Taking this opportunity to have a falling out with the New Asia Peace Promotion Association, it may be a good thing," Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
Old Huang Shen nodded with consent.
Within the enemy, it is a good thing that most friends are.
However, sometimes, there are many enemies, and there are also their own advantages.
"As my business grows bigger and bigger, more and more people will be eyeing this piece of fat." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of rice wine and smacked his lips. "Xiao Cheng is notorious, but it seems that it is not necessary for some people to take it seriously."
"That's because they are used to being arrogant and the most important thing is that they have never suffered from you." Old Huang said with a smile.
"Why do I say that I seem to be a sinister, cunning, ruthless bully?" Cheng Qianfan said while eating the dried fish, spitting out a small piece of fish bones.
"Isn't it?" Lao Huang asked back.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"So, if you say that, you will have already judged that Zhang Xiaolin will be furious and will not give up easily?"
"Zhang Xiaolin's reaction is basically as expected." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "If this person wants to save face, he will definitely try his best to protect Shao Er, and even think about cleaning up me well to show the prestige of his Qinghong Gang boss."
"Maybe, in Boss Zhang's eyes, I may be the one who is a good candidate to establish my authority." He smiled coldly and continued.
More than ten years ago, Zhang Xiaolin was the Shanghai Qinghong Gang (rogue) tycoon who was as famous as Huang Jingrong and Du Yongsheng.
Fourth. One and Two, the three became accomplices of Chang Kaishen's massacre of revolutionary patriots.
The Nanjing National Palace was established, and the three of them completely defected to the Nanjing National Palace, and even became allied brothers with Wang Bolin, Yang Hu, Cheng Qun and others, and their power further expanded.
The three of them even used the money they had plundered and scammed to invest in "industry" such as banks, enterprises, gambling files, and tobacco shops, and leaped from rogue tycoons to entrepreneurs and bankers.
The French Concession authorities even appointed Zhang Xiaolin as the president of the Chinese Taxpayers Association of the French Concession.
President Kong, the senior official of the State Government, and Song Guojiu came to Shanghai and often visited Zhang Xiaolin.
This is the most glorious moment when Zhang Xiaolin was on the beach.
However, Zhang Xiaolin was born in the bottom of society, was rude and unwilling, and was stingy.
His skills are far inferior to Du Yongsheng, who is less experienced and much younger than him.
Some of Zhang Xiaolin's disciples turned to Du Yongsheng one after another, and Zhang Xiaolin's power was greatly reduced, which made him extremely angry and embarrassed.
In addition, Du Yongsheng actively moved closer to Chang Kaishen and also won the favor of the government.
This made Zhang Xiaolin very afraid and deeply jealous. As his influence and status further declined, the conflict between this person and Du Yongsheng and Huang Jingrong, as well as the rift with the State Government gradually increased.
This is a rogue tycoon who was once proud and frustrated once, but now he is shaking up by the Japanese.
Such a person will be extremely sensitive inside.
The provocation of Mr. Xiao Cheng from the Central Police Station of the French Concession will greatly anger and hurt Zhang Xiaolin's sensitive nerves.
Zhang Xiaolin must fight back.
