Juntong Shanghai Station.
When Liang Xiao returned, it was already past nine in the evening. He asked Jiang Tao to interrogate Yan Hujiang. With Jiang Tao's ruthless methods, even if Yan Hujiang had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for him to torture him.
That night, Gu Jianming invited him to dinner. He looked at the time and thought that he should still be able to make it. He rushed out of the office, went downstairs, and drove away in a black car.
About twenty minutes later, Liang Xiao arrived at Ruyue Restaurant.
He went in to ask, and the waiter told him that Mr. Gu had been waiting in the private room on the second floor for a long time.
He went up to the second floor and pushed open the door of the private room.
He was slightly lost in thought. There were two men and a woman in the private room. The man was Gu Jianming and Zhu Ming from the Operations Department. The woman was beautiful and charming. She was Zhao Xin from the Shanghai Station's translation team.
Gu Jianming saw that the main character had come and quickly stood up with a smile.""Brother Liang, you're finally here. I thought you looked down on me and wouldn't come.”
Liang Xiao smiled." Commander Gu has wronged me. I went out to catch a thief in the afternoon. I just returned to the station and rushed over."”
"What kind of thief is worthy of you, Commander Liang?”Gu Jianming asked curiously.
Liang Xiao smiled faintly,"He was just a thief who cheated and swindled. I happened to bump into him and caught him."”
A strange look flashed in Gu Jianming's eyes. A thief that Liang Xiao had personally caught was definitely not an ordinary person. Of course, since the other party had said so, it was not good for him to get to the bottom of it.
"Brother Liang, let me introduce you to the Chief of Operations, Zhu Ming, and the Leader of the translation team, Zhao Xin. They are my right-hand men, so I hope Brother Liang will take care of them in the future.”Gu Jianming laughed.
Liang Xiao glanced at Zhu Ming and Zhao Xin, thinking that these two were Gu Jianming's trusted aides. Although the Shanghai station was part of the Guangdong faction, the Guangdong faction was also divided into several small factions. Gu Jianming was the leader of one of the small factions, and Zhu Ming and Zhao Xin were the backbone members of his small faction.
"I don't dare to take care of you. I can only say that we take care of each other.”Liang Xiao said humbly.
Gu Jianming poured him a glass of wine and said,""Brother Liang, is this your first time in Shanghai?”
"Yes." Liang Xiao nodded.
"If you don't mind, I'll tell you about the situation in Shanghai," Gu Jianming said with a smile.”
"Please speak, Commander Gu." Liang Xiao really wanted to know what Gu Jianming was up to.
Gu Jianming said,""Shanghai Bund is a place where people from all walks of life are mixed together. It is a city that gathers military, politics, finance, martial arts, and entertainment. In terms of military affairs, the Japanese have been sending more troops to Shanghai from their homeland. They have the intention of invading the south. In terms of politics, the national government has adopted a policy of avoiding the Japanese and the Western powers as much as possible, causing the Western powers and the Japanese to be unreasonable and take things by force. In terms of finance, Shanghai Bund is the leading financial center in the country. One of its ports... The import and export trade was the sum of the six cities of Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shantou, Chongqing, and Tianjin. Moreover, many domestic and foreign banks had set up their headquarters in Shanghai. It was no exaggeration to say that Shanghai was now the most prosperous city in the Far East.”
"Among the Jianghu forces in Shanghai, the Qing Gang is the most powerful. Not only do they control all the casinos, restaurants, and brothels in Shanghai, but they are also involved in the financial industry, such as import and export trade, water transport, factories, and so on.”
"With so many factions, our Commander can only survive in the cracks. We don't dare to offend anyone, and we can't afford to offend anyone.”
"For example, if my men caught someone from Third Master Du's sect, they would call and tell me, and I would have to quickly release them.”
Gu Jianming said a lot of things to vent his frustrations. In a place like Shanghai, any random person could be an existence that the military commander could not afford to offend.
However, what he said was true. At this moment, the military forces were slowly expanding. Once China and Japan started a war, the military forces would welcome a rapid expansion.
Of course, Liang Xiao was aware of the current situation in Shanghai, but this was not an excuse for him to shirk. A year later, the Japanese army would land in Shanghai. If he did not seize the time to clean up the Japanese spies, these spies would provide a steady stream of information for the Japanese army.
It was precisely because of the inaction of the military system in Guangzhou that he was allowed to lead the Special Forces into Shanghai. The Shanghai Station assisted him in cleaning up the Japanese spies lurking in the non-concession area.
"Stationmaster Gu, it's not easy in Shanghai. I understand you.”Liang Xiao smiled, but his tone didn't have a trace of understanding.
Gu Jianming was not angry. After all, Liang Xiao was the captain of the Shanghai Special Forces sent by the Prime Minister, and he also had the Prime Minister's imperial sword. He just complained and hoped that Liang Xiao could understand the difficulties of the Shanghai station.
"In the future, with Brother Liang around, I won't have to worry too much.”Gu Jianming said.
Liang Xiao smiled and said,"Commander Gu, let's just talk about romance tonight, not business."”
"Alright, let's just talk about romance and not state affairs.”Gu Jianming laughed.
"Come, eat and drink."
Gu Jianming glanced at Zhao Xin, and the latter immediately understood. She stood up elegantly with a small glass of wine in her hand and smiled."Officer Liang, this is a toast to you. I wish you a prosperous career and a better future.”
Liang Xiao glanced at Zhao Xin. She was 23 or 24 years old, had a peach face and almond cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth, and wore a white cheongsam that accentuated her graceful figure. She was a beautiful woman.
"The old saying is right, even if you die under a beauty's skirt, you will still be a playboy as a ghost. I, a person who doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, am going all out to make Beauty Zhao smile.”Liang Xiao picked up his wine glass and downed it.
After drinking a cup of wine, his face turned red. His eyes were half-closed, and he looked like he couldn't drink anymore.
"Officer Liang is generous, this humble servant will also do it.”Zhao Xin took a small sip.
Zhu Ming stood up and said,""Officer Liang, if I offended you in any way, I apologize to you. I hope you won't hold it against me. I'll drink this glass of wine.”After saying that, he gulped down the wine in his glass.
Liang Xiao smiled and took a sip of his wine.
Gu Jianming, who was watching from the side, nodded secretly. He thought that this Liang guy's alcohol tolerance was not good, which was a weakness. Moreover, this person was very lecherous. His eyes were fixed on Zhao Xin, and he wanted to swallow Zhao Xin up.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes are more delicious.
Gu Jianming saw that it was about time and smiled.""Brother Liang, it's your first time in Shanghai, so I don't have anything to give you. This is a little token of appreciation, please accept it.”
Liang Xiao was drunk and muttered,"What is it? It can't be a beauty, right?"”
Gu Jianming laughed and said," Brother, this thing is much more valuable than a beauty. With this thing, you can choose any beauty you want."”
"What is more valuable than a beauty?”Liang Xiao asked drunkenly.
"Money. " Gu Jianming opened the alley. There were a few bundles of brand-new US dollars inside. I estimated that there were about twenty to thirty thousand dollars.
"This is 30,000 US dollars. I hope Brother Liang can help my two useless subordinates.”Gu Jianming laughed.
"Definitely, definitely."
Liang Xiao finally understood Gu Jianming's pulse. So this was what he was planning.
