Spy War 1929

Chapter 225

Under Murata Zhai's loose sleeves, he tapped his fingers lightly on his thighs, looking at Lin Zirong with a faint smile on his face, he frowned tightly.

Lin Zirong's reaction was quite different from what Murata Zhai had expected.

In the imagination before Murata Zhai came, Lin Zirong should be very happy after knowing that he wanted to deal with Chen Ledao.

After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. This is an old Chinese saying.

But what's going on now?

Lin Zirong didn't even acknowledge the grievances between him and Chen Ledao!
What's the point of him denying something that even a three-year-old child in Shanghai knows?

Murata Zhai keenly noticed that Lin Zirong's reaction was not right, but he didn't know what Lin Zirong was worried about, so naturally he couldn't figure out the specific reason.

Looking at Lin Zirong's faintly smiling expression, Murata Zhai's heart was gradually shrouded in haze.

Not only because of Lin Zirong's current reaction, but also because Lin Zirong mentioned the dead Makoto Murata again.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit weird for a while, and the four of them sat in the chairs without speaking.

Fourth Master strolled carefully and put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Murata Zhai who was frowning on the opposite side, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently.

Lin Zirong rejected Murata Zhai's behavior without hesitation, which made Si Ye feel at ease.

As he said, the most important thing for the Ax Gang now is not foreign affairs, but internal affairs.

Since Lin Zirong wanted to pass on the position of gang leader to his own son, he had to devote all his energy to the affairs of the gang and concentrate on clearing the obstacles in the gang for Anping.

It would be unwise to expend energy on other things.

Although Lin Zirong didn't personally tell Si Ye that he wanted to pass on the position of the gang leader to Anping, but how could he be so careful, how could he hide it from Si Ye who had been advising him for so many years.

If the current situation is maintained as it is now, there will be no major changes.

Under such a premise, as long as Lin Zirong can clear away the obstacles for Anping to sit on the position of leader, then the fourth master is still somewhat sure that Anping will be firmly in the position of leader.

But if he wants to clear the obstacles, Lin Zirong can't be distracted by other things. After all, Lin Zirong is very old, if he is still messing around with other things, he might burp that day.

When people die, everything is empty.

While this weird atmosphere was being maintained in the living room, on the other side, the French Concession.

In the French Concession at the moment, there are many places that are not right.

Outside a song and dance hall in the concession, a man wearing a peaked cap, a black-gray jacket, and his hands in his pockets was leaning against a lamppost by the side of the road.

With a toothpick in his mouth, the man looked along the tram tracks on the road to the end of the street.

Liu San made a windfall some time ago, and after the turmoil in the Black Mountain Chamber of Commerce gradually subsided, he finally dared to take that money to appear in the prosperous place of the concession.

After getting the windfall, most of the time has been given away by Liu San, and it was all given to those who are too poor to live on.

Although Liu San is a thief, he is not a big thief.

Although Liu San is a great thief, he is also a righteous thief. He wants to learn from Li San, the swallow, and become a righteous thief with a good reputation for future generations.

Of course, Liu San is not someone who treats him badly, he also keeps a part of it in his hand, so that he can enjoy himself for a while.

No, he just finished looking for fun in the dance hall today, so he came out here to wait for the tram, but after waiting here for a long time, he couldn't even see the ghost of the tram.

"puff,"

After spitting out the toothpick in his mouth, Liu San stood up straight.

"What's going on, why hasn't the tram come over yet?"

He muttered dissatisfiedly, and looked in the direction of the tram again, but he still couldn't see the tram coming.

At this time, he looked around casually, and after finding nothing wrong, he called a rickshaw and sat in it.

Liu San left, but like him, the people waiting for the tram outside the dance hall stretched their necks at this moment, but they still didn't see the tram coming.

At the same time, Zhou Wen, Chen Yi, Zhang Chu and several other students who looked like students were sitting together in a restaurant in the concession.

Today is Chen Yi's birthday. Zhou Wen called these people out to celebrate Chen Yi's birthday.

While several people were laughing and laughing, a middle-aged man in a suit walked quickly to Zhou Wen's side. His face was full of apology, and at the same time, there was a look of fear in his eyes.

Mr. Zhou arranged today's affairs for him early on, and told him to do it well, but who would have thought that such a mess would happen today.

Walking quickly to Zhou Wen, the manager bent down and explained to Zhou Wen in a low voice.

"Young Master Zhou, I'm really sorry, something went wrong."

Zhou Wen's expression sank when he heard this.

Seeing the change in Zhou Wen's face, the manager quickly explained.

"Young Master Zhou, you can't really blame us for this." He cried with a sad face.

"Just now the back kitchen notified that the water and gas were cut off, and now the back kitchen can no longer function.

If the water is cut off, we still have reserves, but if the gas suddenly stops, there is really nothing we can do! "

The manager panicked and explained that he was afraid that Zhou Wen would get angry, and even more afraid that Zhou Wen would get angry on him.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the crystal lamps hanging in the dining room were suddenly extinguished, and in a short moment, the dining room was dark.

"What's going on!!" There was a voice of dissatisfaction in the restaurant in an instant.

The manager is also a little confused at the moment, it's okay to cut off the water and breath, why is the electricity cut off suddenly!

Hearing more and more noises in the restaurant, the manager wanted to die at this moment.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him, the manager should be responsible for the final blame!

"What's going on?" Chen Yi also asked at the moment.

"Don't panic, something may have happened." Zhou Wen reassured.

At this moment, he frowned, but the anger that had risen just now had subsided somewhat.

The water, gas, and electricity were cut off. This is obviously not the reason for the restaurant. It should be something happened somewhere, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.

Zhou Wen's guess is correct. In fact, not only Zhou Wen's restaurant has problems, but the entire French Concession has problems now.

All the trams in the concessions were driving, and then suddenly stopped on the road.

The restaurants, dance halls, coffee shops, etc. in the concession were also suddenly cut off from water and electricity.

At this moment in Shanghai Beach, almost all buildings except for the buildings with backup power supply were cut off.

Things came very suddenly, and this sudden change even caused quite a commotion in some places.

In the middle of the night, Chen Ledao was pressing Chen Xiaojun on the chair, checking the results of her handwriting practice, but suddenly, the lights in the office dimmed.

When the lights dimmed, only the light coming in from the window remained, Chen Xiaojun suddenly stopped and slid shoulder to shoulder, and raised his head in surprise.

Chen Ledao couldn't help frowning.

"Go and see, what's going on, why the battery suddenly ran out." Chen Ledao said to Zhang Xiaojun who was holding a book in his hand on the other side.

Zhang Xiaojun was also surprised, when he heard Chen Ledao's words, he said "oh", put down his book and stood up.

She was walking to the door when the lights in the house suddenly came on again.

"Here, do you still want to go?"

Seeing the lights come on, Zhang Xiaojun looked back at Chen Ledao and asked hesitantly.

Chen Ledao frowned, and then found that Chen Xiaojun had put down his pen and was just lazily doing so.

"What are you doing, continue!" Chen Ledao patted her head unceremoniously.

"You watch her continue to practice calligraphy, I'll go and see." Chen Ledao said to Zhang Xiaojun.

After speaking, Chen Ledao strode out of the office.

Although it was only a short power outage, Chen Ledao did not dare to be careless.

Among those TVs, whenever the power is cut off, it is when those secret agents and spies are doing things.

Now that the Ax Gang and Murata Zhai are secretly thinking about their own lives, Chen Ledao dare not act carelessly.

Chen Ledao quickly found Wei Zhengyun who was asking about this on the second floor. Seeing Chen Ledao coming down, Wei Zhengyun dismissed the waiter and walked up quickly.

"Boss, there was a sudden power outage without warning just now, and I have asked someone to turn on our own backup power supply." Wei Zhengyun said.

Under Chen Ledao's request, Ye Weiyang has her own backup power supply.

In the first moment of the power outage, Wei Zhengyun had someone use it.

"Do you know why the power went out?" Chen Ledao asked.

"I've already asked someone to investigate." Wei Zhengyun replied.

Knowing Ye Weiyang's current situation, Wei Zhengyun didn't dare to treat this sudden power outage as an accident.

Hearing Wei Zhengyun's words, Chen Ledao nodded in satisfaction, Wei's mother is still reliable.

Just as Chen Ledao was about to say something, suddenly a waiter ran over quickly.

"Boss, general manager, the water in the back kitchen is off, and the gas is also off."

Hearing this, Chen Ledao and Wei Zhengyun frowned almost simultaneously.

Lin Zirong, who was sitting in the living room receiving Murata Zhai, would naturally not know what happened in the French Concession.

After being silent for a while, Murata Zhai spoke seductive words to Lin Zirong.

Although Lin Zirong categorically denied the matter between the Ax Gang and Chen Ledao, the grievances between them were there.

Unable to think of the reason why Lin Zirong did this, Murata Zhai could only think that Lin Zirong did this to seek some benefits from himself.

After careful consideration in his heart, Murata Sai spoke.

"Master Lin, do you know why the power of the Feng Chamber of Commerce can always overwhelm the Ax Gang?"

Lin Zirong's eyes widened when he heard Murata Zhai's words.

Although this is a fact, he never admits it!

Murata Zhai said in front of him that the Ax Gang is not as good as Feng's Chamber of Commerce, is this slapping him in the face!

Lin Zirong's complexion became less pleasant.

"Oh, Mr. Murata, do you have any advice?!" Lin Zirong's voice became a little colder.

What he hates the most is when others say that the Ax Gang is not as good as Feng's Chamber of Commerce in front of him.

He can say it himself, and some people can say it, but these people definitely don't include Murata Sai, a little Japanese!
Murata Zhai didn't care about Lin Zirong's blunt tone, he laughed twice.

"Feng's Chamber of Commerce can exist today, naturally, without the support of our Black Dragon Association."

Behind the Murata Wuguan is the Black Dragon Club, which is a secret in the eyes of some people, but it is not a secret in front of forces like the Ax Gang.So Murata Sai said it without hesitation.

Lin Zirong didn't speak when he heard the words, and waited quietly for Murata Zhai to continue.

Feng's Chamber of Commerce and the Black Dragon Association have always been in love with each other, working hand in hand, this is not surprising to him at all.

Murata Zhai looked at Lin Zirong's indifferent expression, the smile on his face was still there.

"Our Black Dragon Association can support Feng's Chamber of Commerce to become the No. [-] Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, and naturally we can also support the Ax Gang to become the No. [-] gang in Shanghai. It's just that we don't know if Gang Leader Lin is interested."

Murata Zhai's tone was very confident. After all, he knew that Lin Zirong had always wanted the ax to overwhelm Feng's Chamber of Commerce.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the indifference on Lin Zirong's face disappeared a lot, and a bit of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Let the ax help Feng's Chamber of Commerce? !

If you say that, then I'm a little interested!
Lin Zirong couldn't help twisting his sitting posture.

Among the three big tycoons in Shanghai, Lin Zirong was the first to come forward.

When Feng Jingyao was still working as a coolie at the pier, the Ax Gang had already started to show their reputation in Shanghai.

At that time, Gu Zhufeng, who was also one of the three tycoons, was still running his rickshaw shop, but he was just a small owner of a rickshaw shop in the public concession.

Now, Feng Jingyao is called Mr. Feng, and the limelight has been steadily suppressing Lin Zirong and Gu Zhufeng.

Even Gu Zhufeng, after not asking about the matter, has been working hard to drill into the two circles of business and politics.

In the upper class circle, Gu Zhufeng is also more popular than Lin Zirong, those gentle beasts are more willing to deal with Gu Zhufeng's strict wife.

Therefore, among the three tycoons in Shanghai, Lin Zirong has always been the most embarrassing one.

After all, no matter how awesome the Ax Gang was, those people didn't look at him seriously, they always felt that he was not on the stage, he was a person who only knew how to fight, kill, and set fire to people.

As the senior among the three tycoons, this matter has always been a lingering pain in Lin Zirong's heart.

Now that Murata suddenly said to let the ax gang overwhelm the Feng Chamber of Commerce, Lin Zirong was naturally moved.

But as soon as his eyes sparkled, fourth master picked up the teacup and coughed heavily twice.

Hearing Si Ye's cough, Lin Zirong turned his head and glanced at him, and the heat that had just risen in his eyes dissipated more than half of it immediately.

Sensing Lin Zirong's change, Murata Zhai frowned, and turned to look at Fourth Master who was coughing.

There was a look of concern and displeasure in his eyes.

"This should be the fourth master, right? I don't know if the fourth master has any opinion on what I said?" Murata said coldly.

Obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with fourth master's two coughs just now.

It took a lot of effort to tease Lin Zirong's old bones, but the two coughs were interrupted. Could Murata Zhai be happy!
"Ah?" Fourth Master looked up at Murata Zhai blankly.

Soon he seemed to understand something.

"Oh, hehe," fourth master laughed twice.

"Mr. Murata misunderstood. I have a bad throat recently and I keep coughing. Doesn't the doctor suggest that I drink more water?"

Fourth Master smiled at Murata Zhai, and at the same time gestured to Murata Zhai with the teacup in his hand.

Murata Zhai frowned, apparently not believing Fourth Master's deceitful words at all.

But even if he was dissatisfied, Murata Sai had no choice but to suppress all the dissatisfaction in his stomach.

Ignoring fourth master, Murata Zhai turned his head and continued to look at Lin Zirong, without beating around the bush.

"Chen Ledao is an enemy of our Black Dragon Association, and now Feng Jingyao has a very close relationship with Chen Ledao, and he has betrayed our Black Dragon Association.

The Black Dragon Society is now looking for someone who can replace Feng Jingyao. If Chief Lin is willing to become a friend of the Black Dragon Society, then we are willing to support Chief Lin to replace Feng Jingyao in Shanghai. "

Murata Zhai said directly that the arguing with Lin Zirong just now had exhausted his patience.

He was too lazy to continue talking with Lin Zirong here, and directly offered a condition that Lin Zirong could not refuse.

He just wanted to take advantage of Lin Zirong's desire to overwhelm Feng Jingyao. If Lin Zirong wanted the Black Dragon Society to support him, then Chen Ledao's head would be Lin Zirong's nomination certificate.

Murata Sai is full of confidence in this, but he still thinks too simply.

If Fourth Master wasn't here, Murata Zhai might really be able to persuade Lin Zirong.

But fourth master was here, and before he came, fourth master had said something like that to Lin Zirong.

Now Lin Zirong is not so easy to be persuaded.

Although Lin Zirong's heart is tempted by the conditions that Murata Zhai gave now, it is a bit difficult to get Lin Zirong to take action.
