Agents of the Republic of China

Chapter 42 Deviating to Tiger Mountain

The first half of Lin Xiaotang's sentence was nothing, but the second half almost made Wang Tianmu jump out of his chair in fright.

Wang Tianmu hurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a sip to hide his inner panic.But Lin Xiaotang raised his glass leisurely, brought the glass to his mouth, but didn't drink it.

Wang Tianmu only felt that his back was covered in cold sweat, and he was crying in his heart.It is well known that he and Zheng Jiemin are close, and that he and Dai Li almost became in-laws, and everyone else knows about it.But no one knows the reason behind this.

It was at Dai Li's behest that Wang Tianmu became a member of Zheng Jiemin's lineage; the marriage of his sons and daughters failed to be negotiated, which was also Dai Li's handwriting.No one knew that he, Wang Tianmu, was originally a relative of Dai Li. Although he was a distant relative, after all, he was a relative, so no matter what time it was, Wang Tianmu was Dai Li's most staunch supporter. The role played in the department is nothing more than a play directed and acted by Dai Li himself.The reason is simple, Zheng Jiemin is currently the only person in the military system who can affect Dai Li's status.

But this top-secret truth was exposed by Lin Xiaotang lightly, and even Wang Tianmu, an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, was caught off guard.

Wang Tianmu coughed twice, "Brother Youzhong was joking, Boss Dai and I could have become relatives, but outsiders know that our marriage has been canceled long ago."

"Stationmaster Wang knows in his heart that I am not referring to this matter." Lin Xiaotang was aggressive.

Wang Tianmu's forehead was already sweating, "This, this, where did you learn about it?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled but did not answer, and said to himself, "I can't say that the ghost told me. Although that guy didn't tell me the real history, there are many anecdotes and anecdotes in his memory. But it seems that this This rumor is true, just look at Wang Tianmu's reaction."

Wang Tianmu took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He understood the consequences of such things being spread, "Who else knows about this?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and poured wine for Wang Tianmu, "Brother Ren Keng, don't worry, God knows the world, you know me, and the rest is only known to Boss Dai."

As soon as Lin Xiaotang said "Brother Renkeng", Wang Tianmu's body was crooked, and when it was over, his details were found out.At this moment, he only felt as if he had been stripped naked, and suddenly lost his former composure.

"Could it be that old guy Nie Shangyun told him, no, if Nie Shangyun knew so many things, he would have made a move a long time ago, and there is no reason to pretend to be someone else, and it seems that this Lin Xiaotang seems to have other plans." Thinking of this , Wang Tianmu calmed down, and put on a smile.

"Brother Youzhong is indeed a young hero. Brother Yu admires you, and it's not in vain for Yungong and his old man to cultivate you!" After finishing speaking, Wang Tianmu glanced at Lin Xiaotang from the corner of his eye.

Lin Xiaotang drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and put the wine glass heavily on the table, "Cultivation? Hmph, at best, he's just a pawn!"

Wang Tianmu's heart skipped a beat, "I wonder what my brother's plan is next?"

Lin Xiaotang approached Wang Tianmu, "Brother Ren Keng, I want to take advantage of Boss Dai and your strength to take another step forward!"

Faced with Lin Xiaotang's naked overtures, Wang Tianmu was a little confused. He really couldn't figure out what Lin Xiaotang's real thoughts were. If he did this, wouldn't he be afraid that the fair father behind him would draw his salary from the bottom of the pot?

"Hehe" Wang Tianmu laughed dryly, "I can convey my brother's feelings for Boss Dai, but I don't know, what does my brother's step forward mean?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled mysteriously, dipped his fingers in the wine, and wrote two words on the table.

Wang Tianmu took a closer look, and immediately took a deep breath, "Nanjing? Do you want to...!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled slightly, "Not bad!"

Wang Tianmu was stunned. How could he think of going to Nanjing at this time of year? What is his plan?What is the picture? "Brother, Nanjing now is not as good as before. The Japanese burned, killed and looted Nanjing, and the power of the military command was wiped out. Now it is the capital of the Wang puppet government, and the Japanese control it very tightly. You at this time Go, could it be to rebuild the Nanjing Military Command Station?"

Lin Xiaotang clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Brother Ren Keng also knows me!"

Wang Tianmu was completely stunned, he even wondered if Lin Xiaotang in front of him had gone crazy because he wanted to be an official.

Lin Xiaotang stopped laughing, "How about it, brother Ren Keng is willing to recommend for the younger brother?"

Wang Tianmu stared at him carefully for a while, "Are you really sure?"

Lin Xiaotang nodded.

Wang Tianmu had no choice but to agree, "I can recommend it to Boss Dai, but I can't guarantee the result."

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you say a word, Boss Dai will definitely agree."

Wang Tianmu wondered, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Xiaotang raised his glass, "Tell Boss Dai, I, Lin Xiaotang, can also do what your brother Ren Keng does!"

Wang Tianmu was silent. He understood that Lin Xiaotang was determined to win this time. In order to get Nanjing, a blank area under the military control, he took pains. Is this territory his own?Can't the above sentence be taken back?Such a chicken rib, I really don't know what he is going to do!

Wang Tianmu secretly sighed, could it be that he is really old?He really couldn't figure out why Lin Xiaotang did this.

On the way back, Lin Xiaotang sat in the back seat of the car and kept humming a little tune.Regarding the matter of going to Nanjing, it was not his whim, but after a long period of deliberation.In Shanghai at present, the undercurrent is surging, and No. 76's strong attack has caused a certain impact on all parties. The Shanghai Navy Command Station, he can't get in, and Lin Xiaotang is now attached to Wan Molin's forces. For the long term.Firstly, Lin Xiaotang is not a member of the gang, and secondly, relying on the gang's development will greatly limit Lin Xiaotang's future goals.So there may not be much development in Shanghai at present, unless the current situation becomes chaotic again.

But Nanjing is different. After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, Chongqing’s influence in Nanjing was uprooted. Now Nanjing was rebuilt on the ruins. For espionage work, there is a blank sheet of paper, which is conducive to Lin Xiaotang’s speed and concealment. This is also an important reason why Lin Xiaotang chose to go to Nanjing. Of course, there is another reason, he wants to find the remains of his eldest brother and sister-in-law and bury them properly.

As for helping Dai Li to be the eyeliner next to Yungong, it is just a casual statement, in such a chaotic situation, since both parties want to win him over, it is better to go along with the flow and be a double agent.

Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang's Hero Nightclub is also on Juerdian Road, only 10 minutes away from Kehua Hotel.When Lin Xiaotang arrived here, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and all kinds of cars were parked in front of the gate. Although the weather was still cold, the guests were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and their dresses were luxurious, and they were not affected by the temperature at all. The cries of hawkers one after another made it seem like it was daytime here.

It was the first time for Lin Xiaotang to come here. As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by a few beggars. Lin Xiaotang had to take out some change to reward, but unexpectedly attracted more people.Fortunately, Shen Fatty's subordinates in front of the nightclub found him, and several burly men hurried over to make a rescue, and drove the beggars aside, and the seventh elder brother and the seventh elder brother welcomed him into the nightclub shortly.

Lin Xiaotang didn't expect to be disgraced by a few beggars, so he had to take out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.One of Shen Fatty's subordinates named A Mao came up and told Lin Xiaotang that Ma Qixiang and the others had already arrived and were waiting for him in the box.

The Hero Nightclub is quite large, but in a prosperous place like Shanghai Bund, it is not a high-end, high-standard entertainment venue. Only the customers who come here can find a thing or two from it. Most of the people who come here are from the puppet government and concessions. Ordinary officials, white-collar workers of enterprises, some businessmen, etc., there are very few foreigners, let alone those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Shanghai, but the advantage is that they are beautifully decorated, spacious, and there are many boxes.

As soon as Lin Xiaotang entered the door, he was surrounded by crowds, coaxing him to fine him a bottle of wine first, but Lin Xiaotang had no choice but to drink three glasses in a row, and the crowd let him go.After sitting down, Lin Xiaotang realized that the big head was already drunk, and he was circling around the dance floor in the box with a beautiful woman in a high-leg cheongsam in his arms. Ma Qixiang stabbed Lin Xiaotang, "See, the big head has found someone he likes , how about I arrange one for you too?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and waved his hands.

Ma Qixiang looked contemptuous, "Stop pretending, just go out and play to your heart's content, and I'll find you a top quality in a while."

Lin Xiaotang shrank his neck, "Is it your trophy again?"

Ma Qixiang chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll take advantage of you kid before I have time to do it."

The two had a drink while talking and laughing, Ma Qixiang put his arm around Lin Xiaotang's shoulders, pointed to the decorations in the box, "How about it, is my place okay?"

"Not bad." Lin Xiaotang nodded, "It can be seen that the decoration cost a lot of money."

Ma Qixiang looked pale.

"However, it's a little monotonous," Lin Xiaotang continued.

"Monotonous?" Now, even the chubby fat man was not happy.Immediately ran over and sat next to Lin Xiaotang, "You make it clear, the young master and I spent a lot of money to make this place, isn't that okay?"

Lin Xiaotang touched his chin, "I mean there are too few things to play, you see, after the guests come, there are only two programs to play, one is dancing, the other is drinking, nothing else, isn't it monotonous? "

"Also, what else is there?" Ma Qixiang and Fatty Shen opened their eyes wide.

Lin Xiaotang drank a few glasses of wine, feeling a little drunk, and simply lit up all the entertainment programs left by the ghosts in his mind, "The hall outside the nightclub is not fully utilized. A stage can be set up behind the dance floor, and those singing and dancing , cross talk, and Shanghai comics, all of them are brought here, and there is an evening performance. At the beginning, some celebrities can be invited to join in for free. Customers apply for a consumption card with us, and the consumption card enjoys different services and discounts depending on the amount deposited by the customer."

"Then we won't be a bank anymore?" Ma Qixiang and Fatty Shen were dumbfounded.
