Agents of the Republic of China

Zhang Xiaolin's subordinates saw clearly what Lin Xiaotang was carrying, and immediately changed their expressions, and shrank back. Zhang Xiaolin's face turned pale, and he turned to Wan Molin, "Are you here to have a showdown with me today? Do you think you brought If this lunatic comes over, I, Zhang Xiaolin, will be terrified!"

Before Wan Molin could answer, a servant ran in in a panic, "Master, the French consul is here!"

Zhang Xiaolin was startled.

Footsteps were heard outside the door, and the crowd split to two sides. Several foreigners in suits and leather shoes rushed in with a large number of armed patrols.Zhang Xiaolin's mind instantly became confused, what the French were going to do at this time, Zhang Xiaolin had been in the French Concession for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen the French come to his home with such a mobilizing force.

Zhang Xiaolin calmed down, and forced a smile to greet him, "Mr. Consul, welcome to the humble house."

The French consul looked sullenly at Zhang Xiaolin, looking at Zhang Xiaolin with hairs all over his body.

The French consul turned his head and chattered. A chubby interpreter with a parted hair squeezed in beside him. He pointed at Zhang Xiaolin's nose arrogantly and said, "Boss Zhang, Mr. Consul said that the security in the concession area is very bad recently. He is very clear that since Boss Du left Shanghai, you have been in charge of the house, but he is extremely dissatisfied with your work, the law and order is chaotic, prostitution, gambling and drugs are rampant, and there are still forces from other countries trying to meddle in the affairs of the French Concession. Mr. Consul hopes You understand, this is the French Concession, the top manager here is us French, he will give you a month to deal with all the affairs as soon as possible, he does not want to see any unpleasant things happen again."

A man next to him also took a step forward. It was Hong Chawei, "I am a representative of the public concession, and we share the same views as the French Concession. I hope that Boss Zhang will eliminate illegal businesses in the area as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen the security management in the concession. Assist the foreign concessions to maintain prosperity and development!"

"Also" Honchave paused, "If it is found that someone is colluding with other forces to damage the common interests of the public concession and the French concession, we will never tolerate it!"

After finishing speaking, without saying hello to Zhang Xiaolin, a few foreigners swaggered away under the escort of the patrol. Before leaving, Hong Chawei turned his head and cast a sly look at Lin Xiaotang.

Looking at their backs, Zhang Xiaolin froze on the spot for a moment.The guests here are all people who have been in Shanghai for many years. They all have some feelings about today's sudden change. This is an obvious signal that Zhang Xiaolin's status in the concession is far inferior to that of Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng. The stability of the concession, the attitude towards him has already explained the problem.

Some active guests left one after another when they saw this. Zhang Xiaolin stood there for a long time, but turned a deaf ear. His face turned from red to white, and he felt a biting chill for a while.After Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng quit the rental industry one after another, he was full of joy thinking that he could successfully ascend to the top position and become the No. The position of senior official given to him is still visible to this day.Now the French, Americans and British have humiliated him and discarded him like a shoe. Could it be that he really chose the wrong path?

When Zhang Xiaolin turned around, he suddenly saw Lin Xiaotang with a relaxed expression on his side, and immediately became angry. He pointed at Lin Xiaotang with trembling fingers, "You...!"

Before he could speak, Chang Yao stepped out, pointed at Lin Xiaotang and scolded: "Stinky boy, what kind of place do you think this is, you can run wild here, but fortunately, Mr. Get off these things on your body, and apologize to Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Xiaolin was taken aback for a moment, "Brother, you?"

Chang Yao smiled wryly apologetically, "Junior brother, I'm here today just for this worthless brat!"

"How could he be your nephew?" Zhang Xiaolin was very surprised.

"It's a long story," Chang Yao seemed a little melancholy, "This kid's eldest brother came from my sect. Before he passed away, please ask me to take care of his only brother. I'm getting old, and this is what I miss in my old age. The love of incense, although I knew this kid was messing around, I didn't expect him to be so reckless. I came to plead for him today, but who knew that he was so bold and wanted to threaten you, junior brother. There is really no place for my old face So, I implore my junior brother to look at my face and forgive him this time, so that I can fulfill my promise to my apprentice and leave a note for their Lin family!"

After hearing Chang Yao's words, Zhang Xiaolin had seven or eight thoughts in his mind. He stared at Chang Yao, with a hint of bitterness in his voice, "Brother, you have discussed with them to embarrass me!"

Chang Yao hurriedly waved his hands, "Junior brother, what you said is wrong. Thousands of mistakes are my fault, and I will bear everything." After speaking, he gestured to salute Zhang Xiaolin.

Zhang Xiaolin grabbed him and let out a long sigh, "That's all, that's all, I promise you."

Zhang Xiaolin's cold gaze swept over Lin Xiaotang. "Sure enough, it's a hero who gave birth to a boy. The person who killed me, surpassed my goods, and found foreigners to back you up. In the end, he invited my brother out to be a lobbyist for you. But you have to understand, I, Zhang, is cheap. It's not so easy to take, one day, I will ask for it back with interest."

Although Lin Xiaotang was a little surprised that Yi Yao came forward, Zhang Xiaolin had already spoken soft words at this time, and he also understood the principle of accepting as soon as he was good, and then followed Chang Yao's instructions, toasted Zhang Xiaolin with a cup of tea and said something appropriate to the occasion.

The goal was achieved, Wan Molin, Chang Yao, and Lin Xiaotang immediately stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Lin Xiaotang respectfully handed a document bag to Zhang Xiaolin's hand, saying that it was specially prepared as a gift to express his apology.

Although Zhang Xiaolin's teeth were itching with hatred, he still accepted it in public.

After everyone left, Zhang Xiaolin returned to his seat. For safety's sake, his subordinates checked the file bag first, and then handed the contents to Zhang Xiaolin, "Boss, it's nothing special, it's just a ledger."

Zhang Xiaolin took it over, took a quick look, and stood up abruptly, "Little red guy, how dare you do that!" After speaking, a mouthful of blood spewed out.

When going back, Wan Molin purposely shared the car with Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang, and let Lin Xiaotang get into Chang Yao's car, leaving room for the two to talk.

Chang Yao in the car didn't speak, but looked at Lin Xiaotang with a smile on his face. Finally, Lin Xiaotang couldn't hold back his doubts and thanked him.

Chang Yao waved his hand and said angrily, "You child, you don't need to be so polite with me. I just want to ask you why you haven't used the contact information Bai Qi gave you?"

"Bai Qi", Lin Xiaotang was taken aback, he didn't expect to hear this name at this time, it is true that during the most difficult period when he first arrived in Shanghai, he also thought of following Bai Qi's instructions to find the man named Yugong people, but the pride in his heart made him finally give up this idea.Because he only wants to get everything he wants with his own hands.

"You are Yugong?" Lin Xiaotang asked.

Chang Yao shook his head, "The old man Yugong has gone to Nanjing. This time, Wan Molin begged him before, so he specially told me to keep an eye on your movements before leaving."

Lin Xiaotang pondered for a long while, but still asked the question in his heart, "I am not related to Mr. Yu, so why did he help me?"

Chang Yao chuckled, "If you want to know the answer, you can ask Yugong yourself when Yugong comes back!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled embarrassingly.

"What did you give Zhang Xiaolin just now?" Chang Yao asked curiously.

The answer is very simple. The document bag just now contained one of the ledgers obtained from Feng Jinzhong. Lin Xiaotang explained that he knew that Zhang Xiaolin would be punished, so he came here today and made all the preparations. This account book is handed over to Zhang Xiaolin to warn him that if he wants to cling to Lin Xiaotang, the dirty things that Zhang Xiaolin and Feng Jinzhong did behind the backs of the Japanese will be revealed to the world, whichever is more important, I believe Zhang Xiaolin Will definitely weigh it clearly.In this way, if he wants to deal with Lin Xiaotang again, he will throw a mouse trick.

Chang Yao couldn't help nodding, "Wonderful! I didn't expect you to use so many relationships just for this one play. Wan Molin, Dragon King, and the consulate were all pulled over by you. , Zhang Xiaolin is definitely going to suffer from being dumb, it seems that I am here for nothing today, haha!"

After breaking up with Chang Yao, Lin Xiaotang returned to Ke Hua alone.After this incident, Zhang Xiaolin's reputation in the concession and his own strength were severely damaged. In a short period of time, he could no longer make Lin Xiaotang's ideas.This is what Lin Xiaotang expected a long time ago, so he has ordered Guo Zhui, Lin Huaibu and others to lead his brothers back to the Ke Hua Hotel with great fanfare. During the trip, Lin Xiaotang urgently needed to strengthen his strength.

The Dragon King also sent his younger sister, Long Yulan, to contact them. Before that, the Dragon King attacked Zhang Xiaolin's fleet with all his strength, and gained a lot of money. He robbed a large amount of smoke and tungsten ore. Among them, the smoke and soil were Zhang Xiaolin's private property, and the ore was Japanese. needs.The Dragon King sent Long Yulan here to share the goods with Lin Xiaotang.Lin Xiaotang waved his hand, and handed over private goods such as smoke and soil to the Dragon King. As for the tungsten ore, they should be stored first. After all, this is an extremely important strategic material. Lin Xiaotang meant to find a way to hand it over to Chongqing.

But Long Yulan strongly disagreed, saying that Lin Xiaotang and Huoyan saved the lives of their siblings, and with such a harvest this time, if Lin Xiaotang didn't accept part of it, it would not work anyway.Long Yulan immediately decided that the ore would be kept by the Dragon King and wait for Lin Xiaotang's dispatch at any time.As for the batch of private goods, the Dragon King will find a way to dispose of them, and the money will be sent together when the time comes.

When Lin Xiaotang asked about Huoyan's condition, Long Yulan immediately regained her spirits. According to her, Huoyan's injury has improved a lot, and she can walk around in the field these days. I believe it will be fully recovered in ten days or so.

Lin Xiaotang couldn't help teasing: "I just don't know if Miss Long is willing to let him back?"

Long Yulan was instantly blush.

Lin Xiaotang sensed Long Yulan's embarrassment, and also felt that it was inappropriate to speak like this, so he had to say "haha" to distract the conversation.

"Miss Long, I don't know what you and Brother Ling are going to do next?"

Long Yulan was taken aback.
