On the other hand, one of the main reasons why Liu Yingui has developed so fast in recent years is that he has controlled a group of newspaper reporters. If he leaks the things behind the tobacco business to reporters, Boss Du will not be able to chop him off even if he has ten heads!
Boss Du couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he had to put the matter aside and said, "Brother Dun, tell me the next thing."
The second thing Laitunde said is even more incredible.
Mrs. Hong Dameihong, who has been running catering and entertainment businesses in the old city of Nanshi, actually wants to smuggle arms!
The news Mr. Lai received was that the deal seemed to have been concluded.
After hearing this, Boss Du couldn't help but become suspicious, "Brother Dun, what is she doing smuggling arms?"
Lai Dunde said softly: "Mrs. Hong smuggles arms, I guess, to make money. This is secondary. Sir, do you know who led her?"
"Who?" Mr. Du stared at him coldly.
"That's the Liu Yingui I just mentioned!" Lai Dunde said calmly.
This situation made Mr. Du wary.
This shows that Liu Yingui has connections in the military! Even quite strong connections!
This situation is more subtle. In the current situation in China, the army with guns is the king. With the backing of the army, anything can be done!
No wonder Lai Dunde was uneasy about this matter. It turned out that Hong Damei's arms smuggling had some special relationship with Liu Yingui's involvement in the opium business.
Thinking of this, he changed his mind and asked again: "You just said that Mrs. Hong's business seems to have been concluded. What do you mean?"
Laitunde said: "This first batch of samples, ten rifles, and one thousand rounds of ammunition has been handed over to Mrs. Hong. Mrs. Hong is very satisfied and wants to continue. But the army is delaying. I guess it may be
Someone gave a hint to the people in the army that it is best to go through you first, otherwise there may be trouble. Therefore, the army asked someone to find me and want to find out what you mean from me."
Mr. Du understood that this arms business must be quite big. He asked: "Who is he in the military?"
Mr. Lai nodded and said: "He is the logistics director of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command. His name is Zhai Zhenchuan, and he has the rank of colonel. These days he is discussing the food supply issue for the army and the leasing of private houses in the city hall."
Mr. Du nodded, "Brother Dun, it seems that the battle in Shanghai must be fought!"
Laitunde also nodded and said: "I guess so too. Sir, if there is a war, the situation will be too bad!"
At this time, the two of them stopped talking. Both of these things were difficult, subtle and strange. In addition, the possibility of war in Shanghai made them even more hesitant.
Because it's difficult to do, I just put it off. This is the only way at the moment.
Therefore, Laidunde left Du Mansion very late that night, only after twelve o'clock.
1-9
Du Mansion is located at No. 216 Huageren Road. It is a two-story house with three entrances from the front and back. There are two two-story Shikumen houses inside and a three-story building that combines Chinese and Western styles. Outside there are carved walls and iron
Fence gate.
When Laitunde went out, a dozen little brothers on guard stood outside the door, silently watching him get into the car outside.
Accompanying him in the car were his two bodyguards.
Mr. Lai lives in the Laoximen area of Nanshi. It takes some time to get from Huagenzhen Road to Laoximen.
So, as soon as Mr. Lai got in the car, he leaned back on his seat and thought about the two things he had just discussed with Mr. Du.
The first thing is that he is not worried. He believes that Mr. Du is smart enough and will not agree to Liu Yingui easily, but he will also handle the matter well without leaving any trouble.
What he was worried about was the second thing. Mrs. Hong's arms smuggling was actually led by Liu Yingui, and Liu Yingui had a military background. There was no doubt that this matter was risky, a very big risk!
It was late at night and there were very few cars on the road. Mr. Lai's car was driving very fast.
The car turned from Belle Road onto the brightly lit Xiafei Road and drove westward. After that, it turned onto the wide Mintini Boulevard and headed south. After passing the Lao Ximen, it turned into a small street.
The car made several turns in the small streets and finally stopped at the entrance of an alley called Cotton Lane.
The alley was too narrow for cars to enter, so Mr. Lai and the two bodyguards had to get out of the car and walk.
1-10
Cotton Lane is not long, only over two hundred meters long, but it is narrow and dark, which is why he brought two bodyguards.
Go to the end of the alley and turn right, which is the old house left by Mr. Lai's ancestors. Mr. Lai lived very comfortably in the old house and was reluctant to leave, so he stayed there.
The ambush location set up by Kawakami Takesuke is in Cotton Lane! He is already a little impatient to wait!
Therefore, not long after Laitunde and his bodyguard walked into Cotton Lane, they heard the sound of rapid running from behind.
When they looked back, they saw only three or four people, all holding knives and sticks in their hands. They didn't make a sound and just rushed toward them. The bodyguard walking behind immediately pulled out a short knife from his waist and turned around to block them.
.
The Cotton Lane is very narrow. If two people walk side by side, there is a bit of room. But if there are three people walking side by side, it will be a bit crowded.
Although there are many people on the other side, there are only two people who can rush up and fight.
The bodyguard wielded a short knife and slashed and slashed, buying Mr. Lai some time.
The other bodyguard didn't say much, took out a short knife from his waist, held it in his hand, grabbed Mr. Lai's arm and rushed forward.
Cotton Alley is not long. As long as they rush to the entrance of the alley, they turn the corner and see the Shikumen house of the Lai family's old residence. As long as they enter the door, they are safe. With just one phone call, they can call the concession patrol and take those few
Catch the kidnapper!
They all judged that they were kidnappers who were crazy about money! They actually dared to disturb Tai Sui!
But at this moment, both Mr. Lai and the bodyguard heard a "click-click" sound of footsteps coming from outside the alley in front.
In the blink of an eye, a woman walked in from outside the alley.
The bodyguard understood without even thinking that this woman and the person behind were accomplices and also kidnappers!
In the middle of the night, there was a sound of shouting and killing in the cotton alley, and this woman walked in without caring. She was not a kidnapper!
The bodyguard picked up the short knife in his hand and stood in front of Mr. Lai.
But when the woman came closer, both Mr. Lai and the bodyguard were a little surprised.
This woman wore a cheongsam that reached her feet, and her slender waist swayed from side to side like a weak willow in the wind, which further showed her slenderness and charm. On her smooth arm, hung a small bag as big as a palm.
She walked into the scary cotton alley without any scruples, strode over, and reached the bodyguard in just a few steps.
Such a woman made the bodyguard stunned for a very short time.
Suddenly, the woman suddenly raised one leg and kicked it down on his head.
At that moment, what the bodyguard saw was a snow-white thigh suddenly raised up in front of his eyes. His eyes involuntarily glanced deep into the woman's thigh, God! He didn't even see the edge of her pants! Is she naked underneath?
Just as he was guessing, the iron heel of the woman's high-heeled shoe sliced off his face like a knife.
Ouch! Oh my god! Before the severe pain on his face could even be reflected into his brain, he saw a sharp dagger appear in the woman's hand, and stab it cleanly into his upper abdomen, and then pull it out instantly!
Just as he fell backwards, he was wondering another question: Where did the woman pull out the dagger? There was nowhere to hide it on her body!
Only then did the severe pain in his face and abdomen shoot into his brain like lightning.
He fell to the ground, terrified to the extreme. He covered his abdomen with blood gushing out with one hand and backed away with support from the other hand.
He clearly saw Mr. Lai lifting the hem of his gown with one hand and stretching forward with the other. He screamed in terror and ran towards the entrance of the alley. His originally neat hair was actually flying behind his head.
But he didn't get very far!
The woman rushed behind him like a ghost and twisted his arm. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Lai was thrown into the air and then fell heavily to the ground by her. The woman was riding on Mr. Lai and punched him straight.
, punched him in the face.
The bodyguard was so frightened that he retreated desperately, finally retreating into a narrow passage.
He got up tremblingly and staggered down the aisle.
