The Spy

Chapter 399

When Scarface was gathering his people, Yan Ming received a report from Tang Hetong.

Liu Ming and his companion successfully completed their mission. Tang Hetong immediately arranged for two other subordinates of his. Their mission was to infiltrate a Japanese businessman and gain his trust.

In comparison, their tasks are simpler than those of Liu Ming and Wang Wu.

Except for Tang Hetong, other group leaders reported their situations one after another.

Most of the twenty undercover teams completed their mission, but some still failed in the end.

Fortunately, there are not many.

In the end, ten people failed, and seventy out of eighty people succeeded, which is not a low ratio.

The ten that fail will all be sent back to headquarters.

"District Chief, seventy people succeeded. They are indeed excellent."

Yan Ming came to report to Xu Qingyun. At first he thought that if he could succeed halfway he would be considered a pass.

That means forty people will succeed.

This is also the lowest number and it must not be lower than this number.

If it is lower, it means that he is unqualified as the chief of intelligence department, which is a shame for Xu Qingyun.

For this large-scale undercover mission, all the team leaders were brought up by Xu Qingyun, and all the plans were designed and executed by them. If there is a failure, it will not be entirely the responsibility of the new team members.

They must have it too.

It is equivalent to Xu Qingyun failing to bring the person back.

Now there are seventy successful people. This number is not perfect, but at least it is over ninety.

"well done."

Xu Qingyun praised, saying that this time it was not just one person but so many people working together, and it was really great to achieve such results.

As for whether eighty people breaking into various places at the same time would attract the attention of the Japanese, Xu Qingyun had no worries at all.

What are eighty people?
Shanghai has a population of four million.

What’s more, the people they approached were not important figures, and each group was taking a roundabout way to create an identity that better suited them.

This detour also allows them to grow and train, so that they will not make mistakes when they reach their final goal.

For example, Liu Ming and Wang Wu, as long as they gain Scarface's trust, even if they really make a mistake, Scarface will not do anything to them given his temperament.

Especially when it comes to serious mistakes like exposing their identities, if they really make such mistakes, we will withdraw them and not let them die in the future.

"Thank you, District Chief."

After receiving the praise, Yan Ming left with satisfaction. These guys did a really good job and did not embarrass him.

"Gao Laosan, I want his life."

On the other side, Scarface finally found out who attacked him.

Gao Laosan is a subordinate of another boss, who, like his boss, works for Zhang Wanlin.

It’s definitely not possible to rely on others, they have to rely on themselves.

The Qing Gang does not allow fellow members to kill each other, but there are many dirty things among the people below. They are gangsters, so when there are conflicts, they will naturally solve them in their own way.

This time he will never forgive Gao Laosan.

Now that he knew who attacked him, Scarface felt much more at ease. His boss would help him, but he could only blame the other party.

He had no direct grudge against Gao Laosan, but he had heard that Gao Laosan had always wanted to deal with him.

The reason was that Gao Laosan's younger brother was hacked to death by him.

His brother was caught cheating in the casino. The first time, they just chopped off his fingers and spared his life.

I didn't expect that this guy held a grudge and actually taught others to cheat in the casino.

How could they possibly let him go after being discovered?

Scarface personally led people to find the guy, chopped him into pieces, and threw him into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.

This was when the feud between him and Gao Laosan began.

For a gangster, who doesn’t have a few rivals?

Tang Hetong has been keeping an eye on Scarface. These past two days he has been busy seeking revenge, so it is not the right time for Liu Ming and Wang Wu to get close to him.

It's a good opportunity for them to find jobs elsewhere and experience some setbacks, so that they can approach Scarface more naturally.

As for Gao Laosan, he was a bastard who bullied people in the market, molested decent families, did all kinds of evil, and took the lives of innocent people.

Later, Wang Wu can kill him to gain Scarface’s trust.

It's waste utilization.

In Chongqing, Boss Wang's death did not attract any attention, but Xu Qingshi began to feel pressure.

Old Ghost Xu didn't want to wait any longer, so he forced him to give him the opium.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of opium for free, how could Xu Laogui, who was so greedy, let it go?

Following Xu Qingyun's instructions, Xu Qingshi immediately told Xu Zhanjie and asked Xu Zhanjie to help him pass it on to Boss Dai.

"Boss, Xu Laogui is too abominable. The police station is not his territory. What does he want to do by reaching out so far?"

Xu Zhanjie came back to complain, and Boss Dai looked gloomy.

This batch of opium is worth dozens of dollars. If we can get it, we can arm a lot of loyal and patriotic troops.

Now his business is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure is also getting greater.

He had an obsessive desire for military power, and he knew very well that being a pure Jinyiwei would not have a good ending in the future. Once he lost the old man's trust or was instigated by others, he would be finished immediately.

But it would be different if he had military power.

Had he not seen those warlords, the old man never dared to act arbitrarily. They were obviously his opponents, but because he had the military power in his hands, the old man could only turn a blind eye.

However, the Central Bureau of Investigation is watching now, so even if they have a closer relationship with the police station, they will not be able to get the goods here.

It's easy to take, Xu Qingshi will definitely give it, but Xu Laogui will definitely take action against Xu Qingshi.

Xu Qingshi is Xu Qingyun's cousin, so he must consider Xu Qingshi's safety.

On the surface, the opium seized by the police station was taken away by him, so no matter where the lawsuit goes, he is not in the right.

"Boss, how about we create some accidents and get these opium back?"

Xu Zhanjie began to give advice, and Boss Dai immediately shook his head: "Old Xu is not a fool, this trick can't be hidden from him."

"Forget it, let Xu Qingshi destroy this batch of opium. Even if he destroys it, I won't give it to Old Ghost Xu."

Boss Dai finally made up his mind that if he couldn't get it, no one else could want it.

Not all of Xu Laogui's subordinates are useless. Taking the risk of switching the subordinates might end up harming Xu Qingshi.

If the police chief was someone else, he wouldn't care so much.

But Xu Qingshi didn't dare to do so.

Xu Qingyun's company made him a lot of money, and most of his financial resources came from Xu Qingyun.

He must never let Xu Qingyun have any thoughts about him.

It's just a few hundred thousand dollars, he has it too, so he might as well destroy it first.

He knew Xu Laogui's character best. He always thought that anything he liked belonged to him. When Xu Qingshi destroyed these things, Xu Laogui would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

He just wanted to see Old Ghost Xu get angry.

"Yes."

Xu Zhanjie smacked his lips and finally left the office.

It is a pity that it is destroyed, but it has nothing to do with him. He has no share in it anyway, so just destroy it.

Just don't let Xu Qingshi get into trouble. He has a very close relationship with the Xu family now, and the Xu family is his powerful helper.

"Destroy? Director Xu, really?"

Xu Qingshi was very surprised when he received a call from Xu Zhanjie. Everything his brother said came true. As expected, when Boss Dai saw that he could not get the goods, he wanted to destroy them.

This is also their purpose.

Everything was just as Xu Qingyun said. As long as Boss Dai was worried about being retaliated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, he would not forcefully take the opium. As for destroying it, it would definitely offend Xu Laogui, but Xu Laogui had no reason to attack Xu Qingshi.

Besides, the Xu family is not a soft persimmon. They have a very good relationship with the Chen family.

Considering Mr. Chen's influence, Xu Laogui will not go too far.

Destruction is what the police station should do. The old man has issued a ban on smoking, but every policy has its own countermeasures.

When it comes to making money, no order can stop these corrupt officials.

"Yes, it's true. You should implement it as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

Xu Zhanjie instructed that this batch of opium was a hot potato for Xu Qingshi, and it would not do him any harm to destroy it early.

"Yes, thank you Director Xu."

Xu Qingshi hung up the phone quickly. He had long wanted to destroy this batch of opium to prevent it from harming others.

The destruction of opium is different from other things.

Others can be burned, but if opium is burned, it will harm many people unless it is burned in a place where there are no people.

Moreover, smokers will definitely find a way to dig out the burnt residues and get some opium.

Xu Qingshi didn't have to figure it out on his own, as his predecessors had already demonstrated it to him.

In the afternoon, Xu Qingshi began to publicly destroy the opium.

First soften the opium with water, sprinkle salt into the water, and then destroy it with quicklime.

Such opium will no longer have any effect.

"What a sin! How could such good opium be ruined?"

At the scene of the opium destruction, Xu Qingshi was personally in charge. A skinny old man kept stamping his feet. He was a chain smoker and had been smoking opium for more than ten years.

In fact, he was only in his forties, but he looked like a man in his seventies. This shows how harmful opium is to people.

"It's just that it's a pity to destroy it."

Another smoker, but more people support the destruction of opium. This thing is too harmful to people. Once you get addicted to smoking, it is difficult to quit.

"Old Tan, you keep smoking. If you continue smoking, you will smoke yourself to death."

"That's right, your wife and children are gone, look at what you are like now."

People around who knew them criticized them one after another, but overall, most people supported the destruction of the opium.

What Xu Qingshi did this time was in line with the will of the people.

There was so much opium that it could not be sold in one day. It took three full days to destroy all the opium.

On the first day of destruction, Xu Laogui found out about it and sent someone to question Xu Qingshi.

It was blocked by Xu Zhanjie.

When the opium was being destroyed, Xu Zhanjie came personally to escort Xu Qingshi.

Xu Qingshi is also his junior.

It is said that Mr. Xu cursed for a long time in anger. He was angry, and Boss Dai was happy.

In addition to Old Ghost Xu, the one who was even more angry was Director Liu.

However, he stopped taking any action until the Military Control Commission boss Dai ordered its destruction.

He couldn't afford to offend someone named Dai.

You can earn money again if you lose it, but if you really offend someone named Dai, he may take your life.

Although his rank was not low, the Military Control Commission had dealt with many high-level people over the years, and there were many people who were higher than him.

He was not in favor with the old man and did not dare to offend the Military Control Commission.

In Shanghai, Liu Ming and Wang Wu have been looking for jobs, but the progress has not been smooth.

Today they finally arrived at the Yuanda Casino. They came on time because they knew when Scarface would leave.

"Get out of here and stop being an eyesore."

In the business store next to Yuanda Casino, Liu Ming and Wang Wu were pushed and beaten out.

They came to look for a job, and Tang Hetong investigated the business in advance.

They were indeed recruiting, but the boss was a snob and didn't like hiring people from Hunan. It just so happened that Liu Ming was from Hunan and spoke the Hunan dialect.

I don’t know what the boss had been through in the past, but he got angry when he heard his Hunan dialect and asked his waiter to kick them out.

"If you don't want it, then don't. How can you hit someone like that?"

Wang Wu protected Liu Ming and helped Liu Ming walk out. After a few days, both of them were dirty. Their life was indeed hard during those days.

Wang Wu lost a lot of weight because he ran around outside all day looking for work, didn't eat well, and didn't sleep well.

He understood that this was a mission. Fortunately, days like today were coming to an end. He would no longer have to go hungry and at least he would have enough to eat.

Scarface happened to be going out at this time.

He got clues about Gao Laosan and took people to take revenge.

I saw this scene as soon as I came out.

Everything was arranged in advance by Tang Hetong. In the dark, he saw Scarface walking towards the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Is it you?"

Scarface was very surprised. He didn't expect to meet them again. After all, these two people were his saviors. How come they were beaten?

"It's you?"

The two men felt relieved when they saw Scarface, but the show had to go on as they were just "encountering by chance".

"Go and ask what's going on."

Scarface frowned and ordered his younger brother to go to the store to ask. The two men had just rescued him a few days ago, and now they were being bullied at their doorstep?

He knows all the shops next to the Yuanda Casino, and no one dares to disrespect him.

"You are a big shot."

Seeing that Scarface brought a lot of people with him, Wang Wu smiled foolishly. Scarface thought for a moment and did not rush to take revenge. He took them to a restaurant nearby and ordered two bowls of noodles for them.

Each of them had a bowl, and the two of them didn't hesitate to eat, wolfing down the food.

They are really hungry, not pretending.

Especially Wang Wu, he finished eating in a short while, and even smacked his lips, showing that he was not full.

"Two more bowls."

Seeing this, Scarface asked the boss to continue. At this time, he had already figured out what was going on. The two men came to Shanghai to make a living and had not found any work recently.

Liu Ming can do the math, but Wang Wu can’t. However, he used to be a soldier and has pretty good skills.

No wonder he was able to drive away Gao Laosan’s men that day.

Wang Wu ate six bowls of noodles in one breath, and Liu Ming also ate three bowls.

I also finished two side dishes.

Scarface is a man of loyalty. It would be fine if he hadn't met them, but if he had, he would have repaid them well.

"Don't look for a job, just follow me. I can't guarantee that you will get rich, but I can guarantee that you will have enough to eat and eat delicious food."

After the two of them finished eating, Scarface took the initiative to speak.

He was not well educated and could not even write his own name. Not to mention his subordinates, few of them could read, let alone do the math.

He needs a scholar like Liu Ming.

Not to mention Wang Wu, he is a completely qualified thug.

The two of them did not refuse, but lowered their heads together.

Scarface knew what they were worried about and said immediately, "In this world, you have to survive. If you die, you will lose everything. It's not easy to find a job in Shanghai. Follow me first. If you really want to leave, I won't stop you in the future."

He really took a liking to the two and took the initiative to recruit them, and also promised them that they could leave at any time.
