Chapter 684: Assassination Plan
Jufu Road, Anyuan Silk and Satin Village.
"Sir, the chaos in the west of Shanghai cannot burn the French Concession for the time being, but for the sake of safety, a large part of the smokers who used to consume in the west of Shanghai have returned."
Guo Hanjie's investigation is more specific than Tang Jin's introduction.
"So, Zhang Xiaolin's purpose in western Shanghai is not to compete with Ji Yunqing for territory?"
"I don't think so. Zhang Xiaolin's recent behavior is indeed a bit unpredictable. He fought with Ji Yunqing in West Shanghai, which was not cheap at all. However, his supply of opium to West Shanghai has not increased much, and his market share has not increased, but the environment there has been a huge upside down. Affected by this, the turnover of tobacco and casinos under Ji Yunqing's name has been declining recently. A large number of customers have changed their habits of going to West Shanghai to spend time. Even the business of the dance halls under our name has improved a lot." Guo Hanjie said.
"There is a master under Zhang Xiaolin. This is a plank road that is being built openly and traveling to Chen Cang secretly!" Yan Lei exclaimed.
"Yes, Zhang Xiaolin has reduced his opium business in the concession, but has ensured the supply. We have secretly learned about this. Although their Yanzike said that the supply of goods is tight, as long as they are regular customers, they can get the goods, and they can basically meet them." Guo Hanjie said.
"Hanjie, Zhang Xiaolin transferred a batch of opium from Hangzhou. This should be the credit of Yu Yefeng. He was transported to Shanghai by Japanese troops. I don't know where it is hidden, but it must not be in the French Concession, because it is too dangerous to hide in the French Concession. Once it is discovered, it is to catch turtles in the jar. So, you have to help me dig out this batch of opium. Remember, I only need to know the location of this batch of goods." Lu Xiyan ordered.
"The Japanese actually used military corpses to help him transport opium. Zhang Xiaolin is such a complete traitor." Guo Hanjie cursed angrily.
"Have you planned to assassinate Ji Yunqing?"
"Two plans have been drawn up, and I'm about to report to you, sir." Guo Hanjie pointed, "The main thing is Brother Ding Er's responsibility in the action. I'll call him over and tell you together?"
"Well, is the second brother here?"
"It's not far away, you can come here in a few minutes." Guo Hanjie said.
"Okay, then call Brother Ding Er to discuss together." Lu Xiyan nodded. He really had to listen to Ding Pengfei's opinions carefully when it came to the specific plan of the action.
Guo Hanjie nodded, went out and called a confidant to give a few instructions, and then came back.
Lu Xiyan took advantage of this skill to learn about the current operation of the "Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group" with Guo Hanjie. All aspects of operation were good, especially the activities of various intelligence teams were in a secret and safe state.
The collection and organization of intelligence often starts from the subtleties, not from how important military and political intelligence you can steal.
Sometimes, the fluctuations in vegetable prices and grain prices are also information. Things you find inconspicuous, sometimes, after collecting, sorting and summarizing them up, they will present a different answer.
Just like the Shanghai-Western Intelligence Team's investigation and understanding of the daily transaction volume of opium in the Shanghai-Western region, you can clearly know how much opium can be consumed every day, how much opium inventories Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin still have in their hands, and how many days can they last.
After investigation, it was found that Zhang Xiaolin did not release more opium sources to Shanghai and western China. What does this mean? He had no intention of competing with Ji Yunqing for the territory or market in Shanghai and western China.
The lively battle in the west of Shanghai was a trick, covering up his purpose of regaining the market share of the French Concession. He quietly stabilized the only remaining territory in the French Concession, and had a new stable source of opium.
If there were no data from the investigation by the Shanghai-Western Intelligence Team, Lu Xiyan would have almost been deceived by him, and he would not have known that Zhang Xiaolin had secretly obtained a batch of opium sources.
On the surface, he shrank the basic foundation of the French Concession, but in fact, he did not give up at all. He was waiting for an opportunity or another news.
When will the emergency transportation of goods from Hongji Shantang arrive in Shanghai? It is when he counterattacks, because he does not have enough goods to support his "struggle".
Only the basic position will not deteriorate.
What he did was really unaware of, and it smelled a little unsparing, and it almost made him get confused.
Although Huang Jinrong, the old guy, had taken a lot of share of Zhang Xiaolin, he did not dare to kill him. After all, he didn't have much capital to fight Zhang Xiaolin now.
He just wanted to take advantage of it, but he had long since lost the murderous aura and ruthlessness of the big guys in the world. Of course, he was also afraid of the Japanese behind Zhang Xiaolin.
Without the Japanese, Zhang Xiaolin would not have been the first seat of the French Concession Qing Gang. When Du Yuesheng was there, he was the younger brother of the three.
"Sir, Brother Ding is here."
"Come in quickly." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Brother Ding Er, thank you for your hard work. I'll call you here so late." Lu Xiyan said to Ding Pengfei.
"It's not hard, what's the matter with sir?"
"As early as half a month ago, when I launched this 'smoking ban' operation, we said that our purpose was Zhang Xiaolin and Ji Yunqing, two traitors, but for these two traitors, I reached an agreement with Lu Jinshi. He is responsible for Zhang Xiaolin and I, to deal with Ji Yunqing." Lu Xiyan said, "So, from the beginning, all the designs and done were aimed at Ji Yunqing."
"Hanjie, tell me the specific situation."
"Yes, sir." Guo Hanjie cleared his throat and stood up and said, "That's right. Given the current competition between Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin in the area where the road construction crosses the western Shanghai border is fighting for territory and interests, we feel that the conditions for assassinating Ji Yunqing are ripe."
"First, the principle of this assassination is to be secret, quick, and requires a single blow to be hit. This is the case of the Military Commission assassination of the pseudo-Nanjing Foreign Minister Chen Zhuan on New Year's Eve last year. It is very classic. The Japanese have not yet caught the murderer."
"The second thing is that this assassination, the sir means that he plans to blame Zhang Xiaolin. How to do it specifically requires a detailed plan."
"Brother Ding Er, do you have anything to add?"
"Sir, what I want to add is that the relationship between Mr. Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao has taken effect. Ji Yunqing already knows that it was Wu Sibao who robbed Hongji Shantang Yun of the ten boxes of opium for Zhang Xiaolin in the middle of the journey. Wu Sibao kept hiding this matter from him until Wu Sibao robbed the group of opium in the French Concession market and confirmed that it was out of Wu Sibao's hands. He called Wu Sibao over and scolded him. The relationship between the two was originally cracked, so that Wu Sibao rarely went to Ji Mansion now. The security work of Ji Mansion is not as strict as before." Ding Pengfei said.
"Where is Lin Shiqun, Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao have had a quarrel. What is his attitude?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Lin Shiqun still trusts Wu Sibao very much. Wu Sibao secretly got a lot of benefits in this battle between Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin. Lin Shiqun must have a share here." Guo Hanjie said.
"It's good to have a rift, but Lin Shiqun will not abandon Ji Yunqing's protective umbrella yet, and Ji Yunqing's disciples have not yet completely subdued."
"Or what if we frame Lin Shiqun and Wu Sibao?"
"No, Lin Shiqun's motive for digging Ji Yunqing's corner is obvious, but it is not yet at the point of asking Ji Yunqing's life. Zhang Xiaolin is his enemy who will never stop at this moment. It can make Lin Shiqun and Wu Sibao convenient and create a chance to kill Ji Yunqing for Zhang Xiaolin." Lu Xiyan said with a smile.
"Yes, it would be much harder to collude with outsiders and kill mentors. Lin Shiqun and Wu Sibao wanted to take Ji Yunqing's mentors for their own use." Guo Hanjie said, "Many of the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Technology have been worshipped by Ji Yunqing. No. 76 can be rampant in the concession. Without Ji Yunqing's words, it would be impossible."
"Sir, if you want to assassinate Ji Yunqing, you must transfer Wu Sibao away, or take advantage of Wu Sibao's absence. This guy has good combat power and powerful shooting skills, which is a huge threat." Ding Pengfei said, "Ji Yunqing is very careful about his own safety. He has to bring more than a dozen bodyguards when traveling. It is difficult for us to get close to find opportunities."
"Can you find an insider in Ji Mansion?"
"At the best time, please help us learn about some information about Ji Yunqing's whereabouts. Others cannot be done, and we dare not do them." Guo Hanjie said.
"Sir, my first plan is to take advantage of Ji Yunqing's habit of taking baths in the bathhouse every day, and ambush him in the bathhouse or outside. However, he has many bodyguards. Even when taking baths inside, he is surrounded by many bodyguards, and it is difficult to get close. I plan to use his apprentice who is fixedly used in the bathhouse to assassinate him, but once the assassination is successful, our people may not be able to get out." Ding Pengfei said.
“What about the second plan?”
"When Ji Yunqing comes out of the bathhouse, he will take people to kill him directly, and then create chaos and evacuate." Ding Pengfei said.
Lu Xiyan closed his eyes and weighed the two assassinations plans. If the first plan was successful, the brother who was assassinated in close proximity would not be able to survive. Moreover, the probability of success was much lower, and it was very likely that even a brother would be sacrificed, and Ji Yunqing might not be able to kill him, so he would be alarmed.
The second plan is that there is a high chance of success, but once Ding Pengfei and others appear, they have a high chance of being exposed, and the plan to frame Zhang Xiaolin will be disappointed.
If Ding Pengfei is exposed by killing Ji Yunqing, then the deal is not cost-effective.
"Is there a third solution?"
"Sir, assassination is a dangerous thing. If the first solution can be successful, the price you pay is the smallest." Guo Hanjie said.
"Is it worth it to exchange for one life?" Lu Xiyan said, "It is not worth it to exchange for the life of a big traitor for my brother's life."
"Sir, you can't say that. As long as Ji Yunqing dies, our people will still have a chance to escape in the chaos."
"Don't say, you haven't gone to investigate the situation inside the bathroom. If something really happened, is there a chance to escape?" Lu Xiyan glanced at him, and Guo Hanjie and Ding Pengfei lowered their heads slightly.
Ji Yunqing has a special private room in the bathroom. Once he enters, he will be assassinated successfully and there is no way out.
"Then use the second solution..."
"No, I said that in the future, if you perform tasks in the concession, you will not be allowed to use fierce confrontation before you have to." Lu Xiyan said, "Once the Japanese know the relationship between the Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group and the Ghost, what are the consequences? Do you understand?"
"Before we attacked Polycars..."
