Chapter 76 Revealing the Bottom
Tang Cheng paused for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea before continuing to speak. "There are many gangs in Nanjing. These gangs have always been cancers of the country and society. Ninety-nine percent of those who are involved in gangs are killing people. Since your underground party organization is not afraid of sacrifice and dares to invade the government department, you can also send people to invade the gang, or use the means of black eating to establish a new gang." Seeing that Xu Zixi seemed to have something to say, Tang Cheng immediately made a gesture of calmness.
"Boss Xu, this is where you are short-sighted! Do you know? My special investigation team once conducted a preliminary investigation on the gangs in Nanjing. There are more than 20 gangs of all sizes in Nanjing, and seven or eight of them can rank. The gangs who can rank can handle at least more than 500,000 yuan a year. Your underground party organization should have been tight on funds, right? Kill these gangs and replace them, and your funding problems can be solved immediately."
After Tang Cheng said this, he stopped talking. In fact, he had another meaning and did not say it. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the State Government was forced to move south, and the Military Intelligence Department would expand it into the Military Intelligence Department. Because of the performance of the gang members in the Battle of Shanghai, the Military Intelligence Department would recruit more gang members to join. If the underground party organization in Nanjing established a new gang at this time, it might be possible to seize the opportunity in the expansion of the Military Intelligence Department. In the future, it would be better than racking their brains like they are now and looking for opportunities to penetrate into the Military Intelligence Department.
Xu Zixi obviously did not realize this. He was still immersed in Tang Cheng's words about the gangster just now. If he could really control the gang, the organization's funding problem could be solved. Xu Zixi felt a little anxious. The bookstore fell into silence for a while. Tang Cheng silently sipped the tea, while Xu Zixi was immersed in thinking. Suddenly, the bells from the bookstores rang. Xu Huanshan, who had left the bookstore for an hour, came back, and there was a person behind him. This person was Zhou Hongxia who Tang Cheng was looking for.
"Miss Zhou, are we meeting again? It seems that you did not remember my warning to you last time!" As soon as you saw Zhou Hongxia, Tang Cheng's originally calm face immediately showed a hint of coldness. Seeing this, Xu Huanshan immediately stepped forward and blocked Zhou Hongxia behind him, fearing that Tang Cheng would suddenly hurt Zhou Hongxia. Xu Huanshan's actions were a little beyond Tang Cheng's expectations. He grinned and Tang Cheng stood up from the seat.
"Ms. Zhou, since you have been brought back by your own people, he has told you what I mean. Now, in front of these two people, I warn you again not to contact my sister Tang Juan in the future. If I find out that you or your people contact my sister Tang Juan, I will regard your underground party as the enemy. At that time, you will definitely regret it. Don't challenge my patience again." Tang Cheng stared at Zhou Hongxia without blinking, and warned the other party again.
"Tang Juan is already an adult, she has the right to pursue freedom and ideals." Before entering the bookstore, Zhou Hongxia had been warned by Xu Huanshan with a dark face. However, when she saw Tang Cheng's proud face, the anger that was pressing into her heart could not help but burst out. Tang Cheng did not immediately refute, but looked at Zhou Hongxia with a slight suspicion in her expression. The words this woman said just now almost made Tang Cheng feel that this woman was also from a later generation.
After a few breaths, Tang Cheng, who came to his senses, blinked at Zhou Hongxia, and then smiled. "Miss Zhou, Tang Juan is my sister. What kind of life should she live in the future? I think I, the younger brother, should have a more say than you. The ideals and freedom you just mentioned are not what my sister needs to consider at this stage. What she needs to consider most now is to live and live well in this troubled world." As she said that, Tang Cheng turned to look at Xu Zixi, and said to the other party in a slightly heavy tone.
"Boss Xu, we had a great chat just now. As a thank you gift, I can give you news to the underground party for free. The Japanese should have already formulated a war plan. Whether it is Shanghai or Nanjing, it will be the target of the Japanese. Half a month ago, we captured a large number of Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing. Although I don't know what the Military Intelligence Department asked from these Japanese spies, I personally seized a large number of arms, especially ** and medicines from the two lurking sites of these Japanese spies."
"If the Japanese intelligence agencies only send intelligence personnel to infiltrate and lurk in Nanjing City, they can only carry radio stations and a small number of melee weapons. The arms we found are infantry combat weapons used for regular troops, and the ** they reserved are enough to blow up any city gate in Nanjing City." Tang Cheng did not inform Xu Zixi and the other two of them of important details, but even so, Xu Zixi and the other two were already shocked by the news that Tang Cheng said.
Looking around Xu Zixi and the other two, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "If I were you, there should be two aspects to consider at this stage. One is how your organization can quickly withdraw from Nanjing City, which requires a plan to evacuate in advance. Once the war really happens, it can reduce unnecessary losses of your organization. Second, it is to deploy channels for information spread in advance. If the war really happens, your underground party organization should spread the news immediately. How much these people in the city can survive depends on the two plans you have formulated in advance."
"Since you know these things, why can't you cooperate with us?" Xu Huanshan, who had not made any sound, suddenly spoke. When Tang Cheng heard this, he turned his head and looked at the other party. Seeing Xu Huanshan's expression, he seemed to have not lie. He seemed to have sensed the profound meaning in Tang Cheng's gaze. Xu Huanshan continued, "The Central Government has investigated us very strictly. We cannot take care of what you just said at the moment."
"That's your underground party's own business, and it has nothing to do with me." Tang Cheng shrugged at Xu Huanshan. "This news is just something I summarized and calculated by myself. I can't tell whether it is accurate or not. I tell you, it's just because you like you, and as for other things, I can't help you." Tang Cheng immediately pushed and spread his hands, and directly rejected Xu Huanshan's idea of joining forces.
Seeing that Zhou Hongxia was still staring at her furiously, Tang Cheng, who was already preparing to leave, stopped and said to Zhou Hongxia. "Miss Zhou, I know you are very dissatisfied with me, but there is no way. Tang Juan is my sister. After my father passed away, I will be the pillar of this family. Therefore, I must be responsible for everyone in the family, and at the same time, protect them well. I don't want my family to be implicated in all kinds of troubles. I can understand the ideals and freedom you just mentioned, but my Tang family is not suitable to participate in these things."
Seeing that Zhou Hongxia didn't seem to understand what she said, Tang Cheng had to explain patiently, "Miss Zhou, what I told you last time is that my father is a member of the Military Intelligence Department. Although he died in the capture of Japanese spies, my family has been marked with traces of the Military Intelligence Department. In order to support my family, I have an agreement with the Military Intelligence Department that my special investigation team did the military intelligence department in advance to search for the Japanese spies lurking in the city for them. In this way, I can also be regarded as the shadow of the Military Intelligence Department."
"Miss Zhou, please think about it carefully. Even if my sister was persuaded by you to join you, and through her, I have developed into a nail into the Military Intelligence Department. Not to mention that I am unwilling to participate in the trick of killing each other, just talk about your own internal screening activities, how should people in family situations like us pass your so-called screening activities? I don't want to be secretly executed by a so-called Kuomintang dogbag after working for you."
"Now, do you understand what I mean? From the beginning, when I knew your identity, I never thought about working with you. So, Miss Zhou, please don't look for my sister in the future. My patience is very limited. If my last little patience is also wiped out by you, what awaits you will be my anger and revenge. That result should be something you absolutely don't want to see." Tang Cheng smiled at Zhou Hongxia after talking to him, then turned around and left the bookstore.
"Old Xu, what should we do now?" Zhou Hongxia, who looked extremely embarrassed, looked up at Xu Huanshan. Among the three of them, Xu Huanshan was the highest position. Zhou Hongxia did not expect that Tang Cheng's reaction would be so intense. She asked Tang Juan out of her place, and Tang Cheng directly found Hongye Bookstore. If she really ignored the truth to Tang Juan, perhaps Tang Cheng would really turn against the organization.
Xu Huanshan, who had a brief contact with Tang Cheng, was not very happy at this moment. Xu Huanshan was not unaware of Tang Juan's actions. Like Zhou Hongxia, Xu Huanshan did not expect Tang Cheng to be so domineering and fierce. Judging from the situation collected by the organization, this Tang Cheng is not as simple as seen on the surface. Zhou Hongxia asked what to do next, but Xu Huanshan was not sure, but now, what he was considering is whether Hongye Bookstore should move a place first.
