Chapter 156 Return of the King
At No. 49 Yihe Road, two plainclothes officers woke up from dizziness.
I saw the door of the villa was wide open and the brand new car was gone.
The two ran to Dai Zheng's bedroom, but he was gone.
One of them immediately ran to the bedroom phone and called the duty room.
Sun Ruize had not yet changed shifts and was sleeping on his stomach. He picked up the phone and asked:
"This is the Military Intelligence Department's duty room. What's going on?"
The plainclothes officer came up and shouted: "The young master is missing!"
"This is the Military Intelligence Department! If someone is missing, please contact the police."
Sun Ruize angrily hung up the harassing phone call.
Not long after, the duty phone rang again and Sun Ruize was about to scold.
A woman's cold voice came from the other end of the phone:
"The duty room of the Military Intelligence Department, right?"
Sun Ruize was startled by her voice and said anxiously:
"Yes! Who are you?"
The woman said in a cold voice: "Dainong's nephew Dai Zhengtong is in my hands now. I want to exchange him for Ichiro Banmoto who was arrested by you."
Sun Ruize exclaimed: "You, you are a Japanese spy? You arrested Dai Zhengtong, but Banmoto Ichiro is already dead."
"died?!"
The woman also gasped and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Needless to say, this woman is Cuilan.
She received an order from Takeshita Yunko to replace Itamoto Ichiro. Now that Itamoto Ichiro is dead, she has to ask for permission again.
Soon, the phone in the duty room rang.
Sun Ruize also came back to his senses, picked it up and said, "Madam! Can you exchange Dai Zhengtong for someone else?"
The plainclothes officer on the other end of the line said excitedly, "Captain Sun! Do you have any news about Master Dai?"
Sun Ruize said anxiously, "Sorry! I thought it was another call from a Japanese spy. Yes! Dai Zhengtong was kidnapped by a female Japanese spy, who said they wanted to exchange hostages."
"what?!"
The plainclothes officer was so shocked that he was speechless.
They failed to protect Dai Zhengtong and will definitely be punished.
The train took more than six hours from Nanjing to Shanghai.
Before getting off the bus, Xiang Chu instructed, "Abao! Get off the bus first when you arrive at the station. If you meet anyone from the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station, ignore them. Don't tell anyone about me. Go home directly to visit your parents. Oh, by the way! Leave me your phone number and I'll call you later."
"Thank you, team leader!"
Bao Ge was very excited. After a pause, he said with some embarrassment,
"But I don't have a phone at home. Can you write my girlfriend's phone number and ask her to notify me when the time comes?"
"Row!"
Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, took out two small yellow croakers and stuffed them into his hands, and said with a smile,
"I won't buy anything for your parents, just take this little money."
"this......"
Bao Ge was so moved that his voice was choked with sobs.
At this time, the train has arrived at Shanghai Station.
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Go home quickly!"
"Yes! Thank you, Team Leader!"
Bao Ge bowed, picked up his suitcase and got off the train first.
Xiang Chu had his own considerations. It would be inconvenient for him to move around while carrying two suitcases. If he was squeezed in the crowd, he would not be able to react in time if he encountered a crisis.
He got off the bus slowly when most of the passengers had left.
As expected, the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station sent a lieutenant officer to greet him, holding a sign in his hand: "Welcome Team Leader Xiang to Shanghai."
"Are you afraid that the Japanese spies won't know I'm here?"
Xiang Chu was speechless. He didn't even bother to look at the brainless lieutenant and walked straight out of the exit.
He stood in the square in front of the station, took a deep breath of the cool breeze mixed with the smell of the sea, and shouted in his heart:
"Shanghai Beach! I'm finally back."
His attire, that of a top Shanghai gangster, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A clever young man stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Sir! You need to carry your luggage..."
Xiang Chu turned his head and looked at him with a disdainful look.
The little red man took a few steps back and cried out in surprise:
"Ah?! Master Kui, you're back?"
"Come up and carry the suitcase!"
Xiang Chu said coldly, waving his folding fan and walked out of the square.
"Yes! It's my honor."
The little red man hurried forward, picked up the suitcase, and followed closely in his footsteps.
As soon as Xiang Chu came out, he caught an official and was very happy. He smiled and said:
"It seems that you are Yuesheng's subordinate. What's your name?"
The little red man said excitedly: "My name is Zhang Shan, and I am a junior of the Wanzi Sect."
"Great enlightenment, all things take refuge in it!"
Xiang Chu thought for a moment, took out two hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them into his coat pocket, nodded, and said,
"So you are still a junior of the Wan family. Just consider it as a lucky money. Say hello to your master and tell him that you will be following me from now on."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Zhang Shan was so moved and excited that he was almost in tears.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Call me a car."
"Yes!"
Zhang Shan hurriedly accepted the order.
Without caring about whether to fight or not, he just ran to the middle of the road, put his hands on his hips, and stopped a luxury car in an extremely domineering manner.
The driver was a middle-aged wealthy businessman. He was shocked by his momentum and hurriedly got out of the car to offer him a cigarette, saying carefully:
"Little Boss! Please smoke."
Zhang Shan took the cigarette and ordered, "Pull your car to the side of the road and take our Qing Gang leader Kui somewhere."
"Qingbang Kui, Master Kui? Don't scare me."
The rich businessman turned his head and looked at the roadside. He saw Xiang Chu, who was wearing a white hat, a white suit, and holding a folding fan, looking like a big boss. He said excitedly,
"Okay! Okay! It's my pleasure."
He hurriedly got in the car, parked it on the side of the road, quickly got out and ran to Xiang Chu, saying respectfully:
"Master Kui! I am Zhang Wancang from Wancang Cotton Trading Company. I never thought that I could serve you."
Xiang Chu glanced at him sideways and nodded, "Boss Zhang! Take me to Chuyue Hotel."
"Yes! Please get in the car."
Zhang Wancang hurriedly opened the back door of the car and bowed to invite him to get in.
Zhang Shan hurriedly picked up the two suitcases and put them in the trunk, then quickly sat in the front passenger seat.
Now that he has the support of a big figure in the Green Gang, he can walk around Shanghai with his head held high.
As the luxury car moved forward, Xiang Chu had no time to appreciate the scenery of Shanghai.
He closed his eyes and carefully recalled his past assets and subordinates.
Chuyue Hotel. The manager is Xiang Yue's colleague and comrade Long Ling. After Xiang Yue passed away, Long Ling took the initiative to resign and help manage the business.
Qianyi Ballroom. The manager is Ning Caiwei, a classmate he rescued from the Hongkou Police Station. She often works in the ballroom and loves dancing.
Jishi Hospital. The director is Hua Aiguo, an old comrade from the Shanghai underground front.
The president of the Hongxin Commercial Bank is Yi Anliang, an old comrade from the Shanghai underground front.
Warehouse No. 9 at Huangpu Wharf. Guarded by personal bodyguard and brother Yanmen Li Shan.
The manager of Kuiye Rickshaw Company is a young man named Bao Dao, nicknamed "Bao Da Ting".
Apart from these six main industries, he was too lazy to think about the others.
Anyway, the people who are responsible are either gay or people who are very likely to develop into gays.
An hour later, the car arrived at Chuyue Hotel.
Zhang Shan got out of the car immediately, opened the trunk and took out the suitcase.
Xiang Chu found that he was quite smart and had a certain amount of courage, especially since he was familiar with the area around the train station. He was in need of such an errand runner.
Zhang Wancang reminded softly: "Master Kui! We are at Chuyue Hotel."
Xiang Chu put on his hat, picked up his folding fan, and praised:
"Boss Zhang! You drive steadily and fast, very good. By the way! Leave me your phone number, I will contact you if I need to buy cotton cloth."
Zhang Wancang handed over his business card with both hands and said excitedly:
"Master Kui! This is my business card. Just let me know when you need a car or cotton cloth."
"Okay! I'll definitely look for you. Thank you!"
Xiang Chu took the business card and got out of the car. The Chuyue Hotel in front of him looked much more magnificent.
