The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 258 Hostility
The Shanghai Special Administrative Region is changing its generals.

For Cheng Mo, the impact was not big. The main people arrested this time were people from the Zhongjiu Army line.

If Zhou Weilong hadn't also been the commander-in-chief of the Zhongjiu Army, he probably wouldn't have suffered this disaster.

According to Cheng Mo's inquiries, Zhou Weilong suffered a lot in the prison cell, but he was a tough man and did not report anyone related to the military to unify the Shanghai Special Administrative Region.

This guy is much better than the later two district chiefs.

When Xu Baichuan heard the news of Zhou Weilong's arrest, he was so scared that his soul flew away. He was also from the Zhongjiu Army and had some friendship with Zhou Weilong.

Although he listened to Cheng Mo and severed the relationship that needed to be severed, he still wanted to contact Chongqing, so naturally he also had to maintain a line of communication.

But Zhou Weilong was arrested, and he was really afraid that he would be implicated.

He was so frightened that he was almost ready to leave the concession and hide in the countryside for a while. If Cheng Mo hadn't reassured him, he really wouldn't have dared to stay.

He really thought about Cheng Mo's caution and suggestions. If he wanted to hide it well, he had to break off the past relationship.

Cheng Mo really didn't like this kind of card game. If it wasn't necessary, he could indeed get some information during the game. He really didn't want to. Returning home every night, spending time with his wife, and writing. Isn't this more fun than playing cards?
What's more, there are so many things to worry about.

Of course, he also knew that his small words would not affect Dai Yunong's employment. Wang Tianmu was more willful and arbitrary than Zhou Weilong.

……

After experiencing Zhou Weilong's arrest, Cheng Mo felt that his own strength was weak. The "Dark Fire" team was now at best an intelligence team. Sometimes when he wanted to hire people, he felt a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Weilong and Cao Lijun could still maintain a superior-subordinate relationship, which was not very harmonious, but at least there were no major conflicts.

He wants a capable action team to help him deal with some people and things.

Dai Yunong naturally agreed.

Cao Lijun is known as "Tai Sui Chasing Life". This kind of person is also an unruly person. Originally, when Zhou Weilong left, he, the deputy district chief and acting district chief, was able to become a full-time official. He was bound to have resentment and dissatisfaction with Wang Tianmu, coupled with the contradiction in employment. , a power struggle, and civil strife in the Shanghai area under military rule is inevitable.

Cheng Mo didn't always participate in Lu Liankui's card games. He was not as leisurely as these people, who spent all day eating, drinking and having fun instead of doing serious business.

The terrible thing is that Dai Yunong’s whole energy was involved in the past when the one who ran away next. Shanghai paid less attention and allowed the conflict to intensify. In addition, the Japanese strongly supported Lin Shiqun’s No. 76. It is foreseeable that Shanghai will There will be no shortage of bloodshed in the concession.

The reputation of "Mr. Nice" also spread like wildfire.

Cheng Mo decided to send a telegram to Dai Yunong. The meaning was very simple, just two words: important person.

The task of sanctioning Huang Fusen has also made no progress.

I haven’t seen Wang Miao for many days. Lu Liankui organized a poker game but didn’t see him either.

If he couldn't stop it himself, he could only let others do it, and let Shangfeng transfer all the people who had anything to do with him out of Shanghai to ensure his safety.

Wang Tianmu was even more domineering, and since he was a foreigner, he came with a group of men and wanted to occupy the mountain and become the king as soon as he arrived.

After this telegram was sent, he did not receive a reply from Dai Yunong immediately. Instead, he waited for a full week before Cheng Mo received a telegram.

Wanting people also means asking for power.

When Cheng Mo heard the news that Wang Tianmu was transferred to the district chief of Shanghai District, he sighed deeply. History really does not depend on human will.

The situation in Shanghai was too dangerous, and one mistake could lead to a complete collapse. As for the person in charge of the Shanghai district, Dai Yunong quickly transferred Wang Tianmu from North China.

Sometimes he just had to go once because he couldn't avoid it, but basically he would definitely go home at midnight at most.

There is only one address and one connection code.

In any case, since Dai Yunong gave such an address and contact code, logically, he should make a trip.

Cheng Mo has been having a hard time deciding whether to go there in person. But since the telegram was sent to him, Dai Yunong meant that he should go there in person. If someone else went there, he might not be so respectful.

For safety reasons, he still called Shen Mo.

……

Dumei Road, follow the map.

Cheng Mo found the location of the house number in the telegram.

Knock on the door.

Wu Nong's soft words came from inside the door: "Who is it?"

woman?

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, what was Dai Yunong doing? Why did he find a woman for himself? What did he want to do? Is this causing trouble for yourself?

But since it was Dai Yunong's order, he didn't dare to disobey it. He had better meet the person first before talking.

The door opened. The woman was very young, not tall, and had a slender figure. She had a fragile feeling, and the fabric of her clothes did not look particularly expensive.

Apart from a pair of pearl earrings, there was no other piece of jewelry on her body.

"Who are you looking for?" The woman asked in surprise when she saw Cheng Mo. She had never seen such a strange face before.

"I'm sorry, this is Dumei Road..."

"Yes, sir, who are you looking for?" the woman asked again.

"I am a fellow countryman. He said he lives here. I thought I would come over and have a look if I have free time today. It seems that I got the wrong address..." Cheng Mo said in a hurry.

"Fellow, are you talking about Li Ping?" I asked as the woman's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, that's him. Miss, do you know him?"

"He is my boyfriend. He lives here. He is going out now and will be back soon." The woman said enthusiastically.

"Really? Why haven't I heard him mention it? This guy found such a beautiful girlfriend and actually kept it a secret from me. If I hadn't bumped into him today, he would have kept it secret from me for who knows how long." Cheng Mo chuckled. This kind of on-the-spot reaction has always been the basic ability of an agent.

"Sir, what's your surname?"

"My surname is Cheng, Cheng Yaojin's Cheng." Cheng Mo introduced himself.

"Mr. Cheng, come in and sit down. Li Ping went to buy groceries. He has been there for a quarter of an hour and will be back soon." The woman warmly invited Cheng Mo into the house.

This woman was really not vigilant at all. These days, how could anyone just bring someone home casually? I just followed her words and decided that I was a friend of this "Li Ping". It was really too much. It’s easier to trust people.

"Mr. Cheng, drink water."

"Thank you." The woman poured a glass of hot water for Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo took it, brought it to his mouth and put it down again. He was not at all wary. This was a strange person, a strange place, even if there was a person opposite him. He didn't dare to let down his guard against women who didn't look threatening.

That's what capsizes in the gutter.

Who knows if the woman in front of him is just faking it? He doesn't have the ability to discern the truth with his "intelligent eye". It's already amazing to be able to capture the other person's subtle movements and micro-expression changes.

Although there is a 70-80% certainty, there is always someone outside the world, and people who are too confident will suffer big losses in the end.

"Lu Di, I'm back, look what I bought today..." A man in his twenties opened the door and walked in. He was stunned when he saw Cheng Mo sitting in the living room.

When their eyes met, an inexplicable hostility spiraled instantly!
