"Boss Du, don't worry, this matter is on Liang."

Liang Xiao patted his chest and agreed.

Du Yuesheng nodded slowly, his complexion improved a bit, and said: "Du is not trying to fight for fame and fortune, but this matter is related to the face of the Green Gang and Du, so we have to fight for one or two...,... …”

"Liang understands."

Liang Xiao saw that his face had improved, and hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit: "Boss Du, Mr. Liang came to visit this time, one is to apologize, and the other is to ask for something."

Du Yuesheng took a look at Liang Xiao, he had seen what it meant to be thick-skinned, he had blown his beard and stared at him just now, and now he came to beg him again.

Chapter 5 and Eight

"What's up"

"The concessions are full of disaster victims, famine is everywhere, and people begging along the streets. Liang really can't bear it. They are all citizens of the Chinese nation, but it is not their fault that they fell into this land because of the war. I implore Boss Du to be benevolent and help the victims, Liang is very grateful."

Liang Xiao lowered his posture so low, not for himself, but for those... victims of disasters who have no clothing or food.

It was the first time for Du Yuesheng to hear such flattering words from Liang Xiao, which made him laugh out loud, it turned out that Liang Xiao would also say good things when begging for help.

"You don't want to say a few words with a red mouth and white teeth, and let Du Mou fund the relief of the victims."

Liang Xiao thought for a moment, then said: "As far as I know, since Huang Jinrong went to Hong Kong, the position of Chief Inspector of the Police Department in the French Concession has been vacant. If Boss Du is interested, Liang can use it for a while... .,..."

Du Yuesheng thought about it. A few years ago, the position of Chief Inspector of the French Concession Police Department was quite attractive to him. Now the situation is different. A large-scale war has broken out, and the flames of war may burn to the French Concession someday. He doesn't want to be cannon fodder for foreigners.

"Du is not interested in the position of Chief Inspector of the Police Department."

Liang Xiao said lightly: "I don't know what Boss Du is interested in."

"money."

Du Yuesheng said without hesitation: "I'm very short on money now, if you can help me get money, I will give the relief to the victims."

When it comes to money, Liang Xiao is... not short of such things. He has about 200 million US dollars in deposits in Citibank, HSBC and Swiss Bank, but the money cannot move.

"The Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in Shanghai, and the national army took over the properties of many Japanese businessmen. Liang can open the door for you within the scope of his authority."

Liang Xiao came up with a countermeasure in a blink of an eye, since Du Yuesheng was in such a hurry to spend money, let him harm the Japanese.

"Japanese Cotton Mill in Hongkou"

Du Yuesheng's eyes showed joy.

"Can."

"Japanese Flour Mill at Pujiang Wharf"

"Also."

"Daiwa Department Store"

"Boss Du, it's almost over. You really think Liang is omnipotent."

Liang Xiao said with a sneer.

Du Yuesheng was very happy in his heart. Japanese cotton mills and flour mills are profitable businesses. He was envious a long time ago. At that time, the Japanese were powerful and he didn't dare to take over. Now it's different. Shanghai Warring States The army declared victory, and most of the core business of the Japanese in Shanghai was taken over by the national army. Liang Xiao was the former commander in chief of the Shanghai war and the deputy director of the military intelligence department. own pocket.

"Don't talk about helping the victims, I'm also trying to find a way. During this period of time, food prices have soared, and Du's funds are insufficient, so he hasn't put it into practice."

Du Yuesheng smiled.

Liang Xiao nodded secretly, and reminded: "Shanghai has returned to your government's hands now, but there is no certainty that Shanghai will be occupied by the Japanese again one day. After you get the flour mill and cotton yarn mill, sell them as soon as possible. , don’t wait until the Japanese occupy Shanghai again, and no one will dare to sell it.”

Du Yuesheng frowned, thinking that Liang Xiao was the leader of the government's intelligence department, and he might have some special information, and knew some inside information, so he nodded, anyway... selling the cotton yarn mill and the flour mill can also make him big make a fortune.

"Du has something, and I just want to ask you to help analyze it."

"Please say."

"A few days ago, a group of assassins broke in. If his disciples hadn't found out in time, Du would probably be dead by now."

Liang Xiao was not surprised at all, since he came outside the villa and saw the watchful eyes of the guards at the gate, he already guessed that Du Yuesheng might be in some trouble.

"What is the identity of an assassin"

"Du doesn't know yet, but one thing is for sure, they are not people from Jianghu, nor are they gangsters. These assassins are well-trained and their killing methods are very professional. They seem to be assassination agents of your military command."

Du Yuesheng said slowly.

Liang Xiao glared at him angrily: "If you are the killer of the military command, can you still live until now?"

"That's why I ask you to help analyze, which party wants Du's life?"

Du Yuesheng has been living in seclusion for the past few days, and he has been chasing this matter, but he has no clue at all. Today, when Liang Xiao visited, he happened to ask him for advice. After all, he is...a professional in this matter.

"Is there an assassin's body?"

Liang Xiao asked.

"I'm ashamed to say that Du's gang of trash didn't even leave a single assassin behind."

Du Yuesheng became angry when he thought about it, there were at least dozens of young gangsters in his mansion, but he couldn't even kill a single assassin.

"Boss Du, can you see what weapons they are using?"

Liang Xiao asked with a frown.

"German repeating pistol."

Du Yuesheng was quite proficient in firearms. After the assassins retreated, he studied the shell casings and confirmed that they were German-style pistols.

"Did you see the height of the assassin clearly?"

Liang Xiao asked again.

“Moderate to low.”

Du Yuesheng carefully recalled the height of several assassins at that time.

Suddenly, his eyes were shocked, and he exclaimed: "It's them!"

"In the absence of evidence, it is not appropriate to draw conclusions for the time being."

Liang Xiao was not sure who wanted Du Yuesheng's head, after all, Du Yuesheng only provided such a few clues, and it was not an easy task to find clues.

"The assassins didn't succeed, they will come again soon, and I will let them come and go."

Du Yuesheng said murderously.

"Boss Du, don't worry, Mr. Liang will let the military command's intelligence channel check to find out who is the god who wants to take your head."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

As everyone knows, after hearing his words, Du Yuesheng was full of slanderous words.

Then, the two chatted for a while... Liang Xiao offered to leave, Du Yuesheng sent him to the gate, and then turned back.

Liang Xiao could tell that Du Yuesheng was very wary of the assassination, it must be the group of assassins who surprised him.

"Master, do we want to help Du Yuesheng?"

Chen Hua said softly.

"He still has value to me, so I can't just die like this. Besides, in Shanghai right now, a patriotic person like him needs to stand up and clean up the mess."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

"But there is no clue about this matter, how can we help?"

Chen Hua asked in a low voice.

"You don't need to search deliberately, sometimes you will get clues by accident."

Liang Xiao smiled inscrutablely.

Chapter 5 Underground Intelligence Transactions

French Concession, Empress Hotel.

After the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the business of the Empress Hotel suddenly boomed, and countless guests came to eat and drink tea every day.

Of course, these guests did not come to eat and drink tea, they all had their own purposes, under the pretext of eating and drinking tea, secretly conducted intelligence transactions, which is the so-called black market intelligence.

Information transactions here are absolutely guaranteed in terms of safety. Moreover, this is the largest black market intelligence trading place in Shanghai, and a large amount of first-hand intelligence materials are sold from here every day.

Holding Chen Hua's waist, Liang Xiao came in from the Empress Hotel.

The lobby of the hotel is buzzing with people. On the surface, everything is normal, but if you look carefully, you can see that the guests here are all with vigilant eyes. When they are talking, they will involuntarily look around from the corner of their eyes. When strangers pass by, they immediately shut up.

"Master, the business here seems to be very good."

Chen Hua smiled lightly.

"Come on, let's find a place to sit down:."

Liang Xiao led Chen Hua to a free table and sat down:.

After a while, a blond woman came over and asked in broken Chinese, "Sir, miss, what do you need?"

"Two cups of coffee without sugar, thank you."

Liang Xiao smiled.

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

The blonde turned and left.

Come here to eat, drink coffee and tea are all particular. Coffee represents the black intelligence area, which refers to the underground arms trade, information transactions in black industrial chains such as smoke and soil. Tea represents the political intelligence area, that is, the high-level personnel transfer of the government. The handle of certain officials, etc..., eating represents military intelligence transactions.

Scanning the Empress Hotel carefully, more than half of the guests are eating. It can be seen that these people are all here for military intelligence.

Where there is buying, there is selling, this has been the law since ancient times.

Especially in this period, China and Japan are engaged in a large-scale war in East China, and a lot of important military information is traded here every day.

There are also all kinds of people who buy information, and there are all kinds of ways.

after awhile.

Two cups of black coffee are served.

Liang Xiao and Chen Hua stirred the coffee slowly, with relaxed expressions.

After a while, a White Russian man with blue eyes and a big nose came over and sat down: He snapped his fingers at the blonde: "Have a cup of coffee with sugar."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly at the Belarusian man, and he asked for a cup of coffee with sugar, which was to show that he was in the black information chain. "Hello, I want to know about Du Yuesheng's recent assassination. Do you have a way?"

Liang Xiao asked lightly.

The Belarusian man frowned slightly, and said: "To tell the truth about his assassination, who assassinated him?"

"I want to know."

Liang Xiao said.

"Two days."

The Belarusian man thought about it and nodded.

"What about the price"

Liang Xiao knows that the price of information on the black market is relatively high, and usually a piece of information can fetch sky-high prices.

"Twenty thousand dollars."

Belarusian man holds up two fingers.

Liang Xiao took a sip of coffee slowly, and said with a sneer, "It's just such a little product, and you ask for [-] US dollars, don't you think it's a bit of a lion?"

"Du Yuesheng is a leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang, and his information is totally worth the price."

The Belarusian man spoke as he should.

"I don't need it anymore, thank you."

Liang Xiao took out a [-] denomination French coin from his trouser pocket, and threw it in front of the Belarusian man.

The Belarusian man shook his head slightly, took the French currency and got up to leave.

Liang Xiao sneered, these........White Russians fled to Shanghai, doing all sorts of activities, especially underground intelligence agents.

They all have their own intelligence networks, even if they don't have one, they can still get information from other intelligence networks, but then they can only earn an intermediary fee.
