After Waking up Beside the Villain - Chapter 181
In the seventh year of the Republic of China, a rainy night in August.
Several factories in Zhabei exploded, many commercial houses and newspaper offices were closed, and gunshots rang out one after another from far and near to the quiet and peaceful settlement.
Car horns honked, horses ran wild, and the open windows of many apartments and houses were silently closed.
The running sound of the military boots of the foreign soldiers is uniform, stepping through potholes and splashing rain, walking through the streets, in a noisy, humid and stuffy darkness, making people palpitate.
The next day was sunny, and there were several pieces of information on the desks of each faction.
There are no permanent enemies or friends.
The fragile trading relationship ended, and Louis revealed the roles and roles played by Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi in this change.
The senior officials of these forces did not know whether they should be shocked by Adams’ death, or whether they should be surprised that the Green Eagle went crazy and uprooted the intelligence network of Dongyang in Haicheng.
Perhaps, they are even more stunned, and the cowardly Chinese can actually get on the wanted list and become the behind-the-scenes hand stirring up all the blood and blood.
“Yu Jingzhi is crazy!”
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected it was a far-fetched joke!”
“They will bear the wrath of Germany and Toyo!”
“I still can’t believe it, it’s as if the ants killed the sturdy elephant… Need to investigate, there must be a hidden situation!”
Louis is almost sure that Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi will not reveal his spy status to the outside world, under the premise of clearly offending Germany and Dongyang, as long as they still pay attention to France If there is a glimmer of hope for help, then no more words will be said.
But it turns out they didn’t expect much from France.
A story about Louis, as a French spy, deliberately murdering Adams, made the front page headlines of many big newspapers and tabloids that were published overnight in the early morning.
When Louis reacted and sent someone to ban it and destroy it, the news had already spread all over the streets and alleys, and even the beggars on the roadside could vaguely say something about it, I don’t know, it’s all fun to watch.
This is all hooliganism.
“Louis turned out to be from France. This is something I never thought of. Maybe the English intelligence system needs to be reformed.”
Pitt sat in the bright and spacious flower hall, smoking a cigarette, flipping through the paper with interest: “A suspicious person like Adams can always take him by his side, it can be said to be quite trusting But unfortunately, he betrayed that trust.”
The James who came to visit is a very typical American Emperor, tall and strong.
He was sitting on a soft chair not far away, admiring a osmanthus tree hidden behind a half-open glass window.
Hearing the words, he raised his eyebrows and said: “Adams is dead, Haicheng will no longer have the German name. I believe that Colonel Andre will take out his back to China as soon as possible. Tickets, can’t wait to get on the ship.”
“He doesn’t look like a German at all.” Pete nodded in agreement.
James said: “Peter, who do you think the killer of Adams would be?”
Pitt closed the stack of intelligence and said, “I’m not sure yet who is the murderer between China and France. But compared to Yu Jingzhi, I’m more willing to believe that Louis will be there I got the best benefit from this matter. I don’t even understand Yu Jingzhi’s motive for assassinating Adams and removing the Toyo Intelligence Network.”
“It doesn’t do him any favors at all. If it’s a benefit to face the anger of Germany and Toyo, then maybe I can understand.”
James pressed the back of his chair and laughed, “Hey, you’re so funny, Pete. But maybe you forgot one thing.”
His voice paused.
Pete raised his chin slightly and looked at James questioningly.
James didn’t give a shit, and said directly: “Whether it’s Germany, Orient, or France, they all look extremely angry, and their clamor can almost drown the entire Haicheng. But Germany was defeated, Unable to control the situation in Huaxia, Green Eagle was cut off by its tentacles again, and under Louis’s cleaning, it fell into internal friction, at least half of its strength was lost, and it was difficult to set off another storm.”
“Their anger against China can only stay at the level of the wanted order. Assassinations may become very numerous, but the army will not make any movement.”
James closed his smile slightly: “As for France.”
“If that arrogant Louis didn’t spare Yu Jingzhi and Chu Yunsheng last night, but killed them on the spot to silence them, then he might be able to completely control the green eagle without much effort , secretly used the intelligence power of Germany to make a great contribution to France.”
“But he was so stupid. He let them go.”
“No, not so, maybe he can’t kill them at all. He’s tied up, he thinks he’s making a big gamble, very thrilling and terrifying, but in essence, he’s still a weak coward …he cherished his own life and was unwilling to risk killing them both.”
“So he got into such a situation that he was determined not to resist the Chinese people to put together a group, and spread his identity everywhere. No matter what kind of bitterness he used, the green eagle and the German high-ranking officials , at least half will doubt him.”
“They will suspend him and **** him home like a prisoner. All his schemes will be turned into a ridiculous pantomime.”
Hearing this, Pete also smiled and interjected: “Yes, Louis’ weak hesitation makes me no longer doubt whether France fell too fast in the war in Europe. But he might still have a little brain.”
He said: “At least when the newspapers spread this morning, he realized his stupidity and tried to remedy it. The French Concession is under martial law, and the French soldiers are working hard to clean up. Louis used the pretext of destroying rumors to kill most of Green Eagle’s intelligence personnel.”
“He can still get the green eagle, but it won’t be an eagle anymore, just a turkey without wings.”
“This is no different from killing Adams forcefully and directly capturing the Green Eagle.”
“The European meeting is still going on, and there is such a thing in France, the pressure is not small. The loss of the war is also quite huge, they will want to make up for it from the land of China, but it is definitely not The war has just ended, and everything is unstable now.”
James relaxed his shoulders and leaned back into the soft chair, and continued Pete’s words: “So, there are many voices shouting to kill those two Chinese people, but they can really reach in and make some It’s just those cunning Orientals.”
Pete got up, poured a cup of English black tea for James, and looked at the golden fragrant osmanthus tree outside the window with him.
“Then James, guess, did you think of this result before the two Chinese people created the accident last night? Or, was their desperate risk because they had already obtained that News – news that the Orientals are going south?”
The mellow tea aroma and the rich milky taste are combined, overflowing in the flower hall in the afternoon.
James did not answer, but slowly picked up the ceramic teacup, and in the rising steam, looked at Pete and smiled.
In fact, the situation in Haicheng is often the same as this era.
The concession was in chaos, the Haicheng County area confronted each other, and newspapers were published one after another.
The tram passed through the shouts of progressives, the narrow glass with numb faces and bright eyes.
—The storm is coming.
Two days later.
On the second floor of Guanglai Tea House, the last shot was heard in the private room facing the street.
The guests who were piling up at the door of the teahouse waited for a while, and they saw four short-handed men coming down the stairs. The two of them carried a corpse and walked quickly around the back door of the teahouse.
The shopkeeper hiding behind the counter stared at him with a pair of eyes, and after another half a minute, a soldier appeared at the entrance of the stairs, smiling and apologizing to everyone.
At this point, the shopkeeper straightened up, rushed out of the counter in two or three steps, pointed at a group of customers at the door, and shouted loudly: “They are all regular customers, I can remember my face. Well, no one wants to run away!”
The guests burst into laughter, made fun of the shopkeeper, brushed off their robes, and walked back to the restaurant as if nothing was wrong.
When I sat down again, the tea that had just been made before was inevitably a little cold.
Someone sighed in a low voice: “Hey, when did this matter? It must be said that Mr. Yu was assassinated in the past, but it took a longer time, ten and a half days. It’s better now. , there is a commotion every three days. If you put it on me, I might as well shut myself in the house, and the door will not come out. “
“Speak lightly.” Another humane.
“Such a big man, there are so many things, how can he compare to us? Besides, the one who handles these movements has always been good, brother Liu, look, not even a timid person like you dares to Did you stand under the sound of gunfire and watch the fun for half an hour?”
“It’s good to get used to it, what’s more, who doesn’t know the reason for the sudden increase in these assassinations?”
“Those foreigners are really abominable!”
The man before gritted his teeth and said: “Where I work, the general manager is a spy of Toyo. Yesterday, the boss heard that he came to check the accounts overnight, and only then did he know that the spy had been evacuated ten times. Thousands of oceans are all dedicated to the people of the East!”
“Not only that, do you know Mr. Zhao from Dagang Newspaper? Earlier, he often praised the oriental people in the newspapers. I didn’t like it very much. , how can he speak so strangely, can’t wait to lick the toes of the oriental people! Now I understand that he is also a spy!”
“If these spies are to be removed, they will not be able to remove them completely, but it is better than the past. When I think of the vicious eyes staring at us in the past few years, my whole body is full of uneasy.”
“So be patient, this assassination will never be tireless. Besides, I don’t think the murderer is a master who can always endure…”
“Hey, be careful!”
In the private room on the second floor, the two windows facing the street were reopened, and the strong **** smell gradually dissipated.
Chu Yunsheng listened attentively to the movement downstairs, and took the half snack that Yu Jingzhi didn’t like to put down halfway through the meal, admiring the adaptability and acceptability of the people of Haicheng.
In Haicheng, where gangs are rampant, foreigners are numerous, and various forces are intricate, peace and gunfights are never the existence of conflict.
The people of Haicheng, who are very good at accepting new things, are also very able to make the most correct response to these events by avoiding disadvantages.
Looking down from the window, the pedestrians who were scared away by the fighting and the stall owners also moved back one after another while watching, walking and shouting again.
“You asked Gao Lan to see him, he probably won’t come.” Chu Yunsheng looked at Yu Jingzhi opposite and said.
Yu Jingzhi rolled his eyes and smiled: “Of course he doesn’t want to. He entered Haicheng with great fanfare, and the first person he saw was me, then I can guarantee that he will die absolutely. Faster than me. But it’s not his decision to see me or not.”
Looking at Yu Jingzhi’s expression, Chu Yunsheng thought of something and looked out the window.
The front of this street is the only way to go to the concession after the official road enters the city. It seems that Yu Jingzhi got the news that Gao Lan will not arrive at Haicheng by water as originally planned, so he wants to intercept Gao Lan here.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng suddenly remembered the encounter between Li Lingbi and Gao Lan among his four lovers in the original plot. It was a very coincidental collision at the riverside pier. It should be classified as a drama of love at first sight.
And now, Gao Lan has changed the route of entering the city, will he and Li Lingbi meet again?
The problem just came up when the roar of cars and the stomping of hoofs came from the end of the street.
Soon, a team of 100 soldiers appeared within Chu Yunsheng’s line of sight.
This team is not well equipped, but the bandits are powerful and quite intimidating.
The surrounding people hurriedly avoided and looked carefully. At the forefront of the team, there were three tall horses, headed by a sturdy black horse, and a man in military uniform with a resolute and stern face.
This man has a sturdy figure, bronze complexion, and a scar between his eyebrows. The plain white adds a violent color. Compared with the photo, he is more imposing.
Chu Yunsheng recognized that this was Gao Lan, who had occupied the northern Jiangxi Province strongly and gave himself the title of great handsome.
Yu Jingzhi also raised his eyes and looked over, his expression became playful and cold.
While the two of them were observing Gao Lan who was coming into the city aggressively at the same time, a scream suddenly sounded on the quiet street.
A figure rushed out of an alley in a hurry, without looking at the ground, directly under the hoof of Gao Lan’s black horse.
