Chapter 1372: Dividing the Loot (asking for monthly tickets)
"Chen Gongshu is very active." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully after listening to Li Hao's report.
Not long after his convoy passed Huangpu Road, gunshots were heard on the road and someone was shot dead.
Cheng Qianfan, who attaches great importance to personal safety, naturally takes it very seriously and arranges Haozi to find out the situation.
The deceased was Wu Yushan, an economic traitor.
This man opened a grain store called Kaifu, and colluded with Zhang Xiaolin's New Asia Peace Promotion Association. He forcibly plundered and bought grain from ordinary people at low prices to aid the enemy. He was a die-hard traitor who aroused great public anger.
"The Shanghai District should have been keeping an eye on Wu Yushan for a long time." Li Hao said, "They planned ahead of time. When he shows up, they will just shoot and kill him before leaving."
He admired the operative in the Shanghai district very much. "He even came up and shot me in the head before leaving calmly."
"Notify everyone and increase vigilance." Cheng Qianfan said after thinking for a while.
"Yes!" Li Hao said.
Brother Fan's image outside is that he is afraid of death. The Military Control Commission has been acting very aggressively in recent days. Brother Fan has always been pro-Japanese, so it is very reasonable for him to worry about being targeted by the Military Control Commission.
As for whether the Shanghai District would choose Brother Fan as the next target of assassination, Li Hao thought it was unlikely. Boss Dai had repeatedly ordered that no action should be taken against senior officials in the concession, so Chen Gongshu would not disobey military orders.
However, Haozi had a calculation:
If Chen Gongshu knew that Brother Fan was Xiao Mian, it is hard to say whether Chen Gongshu would pretend not to know and then accidentally kill "Mr. Cheng" from the French Concession without knowing it.
In short, if Brother Fan said to increase vigilance, Li Hao would definitely do it. Even if he had some different opinions in his mind, he would definitely obey.
As for Brother Fan's security protection, Li Hao is only worried that the protection work is not done well enough, and he will never express dissatisfaction with the strengthened vigilance.
……
Liu Xia looked at Mr. Cheng's huge motorcade and could not hide her surprise.
"Was the assassination on Huangpu Road aimed at you?" she asked.
"It shouldn't be." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "The one who died was Wu Yushan, who opened the Fuliang Store."
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Xia patted her chest and smiled again. "Looking at your posture, someone who didn't know would think you were the target of the Military Control Commission."
"It's just that I happened to be passing by Huangpu Road at that time." Cheng Qianfan said, "To be exact, when the gunshot was heard, it was at most one li away from me."
"Do you suspect that the other party might have been targeting you?" Liu Xia understood immediately.
"It's hard to say." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Maybe they saw that my side was heavily guarded, so the thieves wouldn't leave empty-handed."
"That's not right either. Wouldn't that alert the enemy?" Liu Xia frowned slightly and pointed at Cheng Qianfan's team of bodyguards who were armed with guns.
In addition to the Mauser pistols, there were two bodyguards carrying long rifles, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy and were ready to take off their gun belts and engage in battle at any time.
"There's even a Czech light machine gun in the trunk." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "I was afraid it would scare people, so I asked them to put it away."
As he and Liu Xia walked, he said, "Otherwise, people who don't know would think I'm bringing people to attack the residence of the Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan."
Liu Xia reached out and hit Cheng Qianfan.
……
"Has everything been negotiated with the Japanese?"
"Basically it's ready." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Fifty Japanese Type 38 rifles, ten Japanese Type 14 Nambu pistols, and ten boxes of grenades."
Liu Xia held a small fruit knife in her hand. The tip of the knife was flying on the apple. Soon, the whole apple peel appeared in Liu Xia's hand.
Cheng Qianfan stopped talking and stared with eyes wide open, revealing an expression of astonishment.
"A basic amount of ammunition." He took the apple from Liu Xia's hand, took a bite, and then continued, "There are also a small amount of medical alcohol, medical cotton wool, hemostatic bandages, etc."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan raised a finger, "A total of 35,000 silver dollars."
"No moisture?" Liu Xia asked with a smile.
"If it were someone else, I would have to offer 40,000 silver dollars more to get 5,000 silver dollars in hand first." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "35,000 silver dollars, not a dime more."
Looking at Cheng Qianfan's clear eyes, Liu Xia nodded, "I believe you."
"Originally, it should have been done with 30,000 silver dollars, but the Japanese were going to raid the countryside before the New Year, so the military police headquarters' stockpile of guns was borrowed." Cheng Qianfan looked around, leaned forward, and whispered, "This batch of weapons was borrowed from the soldiers."
"In the hands of the soldiers?" Liu Xia was surprised, and then she understood what it meant.
"I hope nothing bad will happen." Liu Xia asked worriedly.
"What are you afraid of?" Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, and the Japanese won't tell you either."
"It's really hard to imagine that the Japanese actually..." Liu Xia still had an expression of disbelief and was amazed.
"Japanese soldiers also need to eat and make money." Cheng Qianfan smiled and looked at Liu Xia, "Sister Xia, I have delivered myself to you whole and soundly. Whether I can have a sip of hot soup depends on whether you are willing to feel sorry for me, Sister Xia."
"Pah." Liu Xia spat at Cheng Qianfan, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
"One hundred Type 38 rifles, twenty Type 14 Nambu pistols, a number of grenades and medical supplies, and two base quantities of ammunition." Liu Xia took out a pen and paper to calculate, "A total of weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies for two reinforced platoons."
She looked up at Cheng Qianfan and said, "The original budget was 80,000 silver dollars, but there is still a gap of 10,000 silver dollars."
"The 60,000 from Director Chen..." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"Don't move." Liu Xia shook her head.
Chen Chunpu's 30,000 silver dollars and Mrs. Wang's 30,000 silver dollars are red lines that must not be touched.
"Then we will have to bear the consequences ourselves." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly, "80,000 silver dollars, and there are still 45,000 silver dollars left."
"It's 90,000 silver dollars, and there are 50,000 silver dollars left." Liu Xia said, "We can go to Director Chen to find the 10,000 silver dollars gap. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, and naturally would not ask about the missing 5,000 silver dollars.
"Sister, are you being fair?" Liu Xia asked with a smile.
"Sister Xia is awesome." Cheng Qianfan gave a thumbs up.
Fifty thousand silver dollars, Chu Mingyu thirty thousand silver dollars, Cheng Qianfan twelve thousand silver dollars, and Liu Xia herself eight thousand silver dollars.
Add to that the 5,000 silver dollars that had just been lost and split in half, so Cheng Qianfan gets 14,500 silver dollars and Liu Xia gets 10,500 silver dollars.
This was the distribution given by Liu Xia, and she took the smallest share on her own initiative.
Liu Xia smiled and said, "You are busy all the time and have contributed the most, so I can't let you suffer the most."
Cheng Qianfan just looked at Liu Xia, and was actually a little dazed for a moment.
"what happened?"
"I'm not as good as Sister Xia." Cheng Qianfan suddenly sighed softly.
"Uncle Chu, it's still 30,000 yuan." He looked at Liu Xia and said softly, "Sister Xia and I, we'll each get 15,000 yuan."
Liu Xia looked at him with a look of surprise and confusion.
"The purchase price is thirty thousand silver dollars." Cheng Qianfan showed a shy and ashamed look, "Sister Xia is so good to me, I really, really don't have the nerve to embezzle the five thousand silver dollars."
Liu Xia's beautiful eyes widened, then she suddenly smiled, punched Cheng Qianfan with her little fist, and glared at him, "I knew you were a cunning guy."
