The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 58 The Tricolor Tycoon Zhang Xiaolin
Chen Sichuan broke out in a cold sweat. If not for Lao Feng's carefulness, he would have likely capsized in the gutter today.
Not only would he have suffered, but his comrades would have been finished too!
Chen Sichuan immediately began to make amends, shooting those still on the ground to make sure they were dead.
Mistakes should not be made twice.
It's never too late to mend the fold after a sheep is lost!
As long as there was an opportunity, he would immediately rectify the situation!
Therefore, Chen Sichuan began to deliver coup de grâce shots.
Bu Gaochi watched these two country bumpkins; they started killing people over a disagreement!
Just now, many of his Si Hai Gang brothers had only taken one bullet, and some hadn't been hit at all.
They were just quick-witted. Seeing that running away would only get them shot, they immediately pretended to be hit, lying motionless on the ground.
Just now, this big man had found the box cannon on the gang leader.
These two countrymen started shooting, aiming directly for the heart.
Regardless of whether they were injured or not, they were shot again, some even getting two or three bullets.
Bu Gaochi was even more terrified!
Those who were injured and could still crawl began to struggle, trying to get out of the sight of these two grim reapers.
Those few clever guys even nimbly got up and tried to run.
But no matter how agile they were, they couldn't outrun the speed of bullets.
Chen Sichuan was finishing them off, and Feng Junya wasn't idle either.
He shot left and right, sending those few clever ghosts to the real ghost realm.
As the leader, Bu Gaochi noticed that Chen Sichuan was finishing off everyone on the ground.
Except for the one who had betrayed him earlier:
It seemed this person was trustworthy. He said he would let him go, and he really did.
Bu Gaochi quickly said, "I'll take you to get the suitcase, just spare my life."
Feng Junya coldly said, "If nothing is missing from the suitcase, I'll spare your life."
Li Xian was a little anxious at this point. "It might be too late to get the suitcase now."
Lin Fan had said to wait until 2:00 PM.
It was probably too late to get the suitcase now.
Li Xian clearly knew that the company's affairs were more important.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xian said, "You guys remember the way to the place we went to earlier, right?"
Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya both nodded. "We remember."
"After you get the suitcase, go to the place I told you about.
I'll go back and tell the boss first."
Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya nodded.
Li Xian took all but ten bullets from his body.
He handed the rest to the two of them. "Where there's life, there's hope.
If things don't look good, just run back. We have people behind us."
The ordinary people in the concession, the shopkeepers and owners on both sides of the street, were people who had seen the world.
In this bustling city, who hadn't seen gang fights, vendettas, assassinations, or shootings?
But they had never seen such fierce newcomers like today!
They were truly relentless!
These people who had developed discerning eyes in the city clearly saw that these two outsiders were country bumpkins!
While Li Xian and the others were discussing, Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya had already finished off everyone on the ground.
The blood flowed out onto the street, gathering into streams, flowing with blood, winding and rugged; it was truly terrifying.
The three of them didn't seem to notice, their big feet stained with a lot of blood.
With each step, there was a bloody footprint on the ground.
As they spoke, sirens sounded in the distance.
These concession security guards were originally in cahoots with these local gangsters.
Whenever something happened, they would deliberately arrive a little late to allow these gangsters to finish their business.
Today was no different.
Li Xian turned and ran. As a reporter, he had a set of skills for avoiding the thugs in the concession.
Bu Gaochi secretly hoped that those acquaintances would come sooner.
He had never wanted them to come so badly as he did today. Even if he didn't get any of the loot today and had to offer it all up, it would be fine.
Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya coldly said to Bu Gaochi, "Can you run?"
How could Bu Gaochi dare to say that he couldn't run at this time?
He nodded like a chicken pecking rice and was the first to run towards a side alley.
What he hoped for in his heart was one thing, and what he had to do was another.
From the series of actions these two killing gods had just taken, Bu Gaochi already knew that he would surely die if he hesitated.
These people didn't seem too worried about their lost suitcase.
Bu Gaochi's foot, which had been shot by Feng Junya, dragged along.
Every step he took was excruciating!
Under his feet, there was also a bloody footprint with each step.
Some of this blood was his own, and some was from the brothers lying on the ground.
Bu Gaochi couldn't even tell the difference. All he knew was that his thigh was bleeding with every step he took.
But at this time, Bu Gaochi had to speed up. He didn't see a trace of fear in the eyes of these two killing gods.
If he said he couldn't run, a bullet would probably immediately pierce his body.
Bu Gaochi's lair wasn't actually far away. After turning through two long alleys, he arrived.
The tardy concession security guards saw more than twenty corpses lying on the ground.
They carefully examined their faces. They were all acquaintances, the Si Hai Gang members doing business on this street.
As long as there were no foreign dignitaries among them, it would be fine.
Thugs like the Si Hai Gang were like cockroaches in the sewers. When one batch died, another batch would grow up the next day.
It wasn't worth wasting any of their effort. Even if someone wanted to take revenge, it would be a matter between those gangs and wouldn't involve the police station.
Therefore, even though they clearly saw the bloody footprints leading towards the Si Hai Gang's lair,
the police station's inspector didn't have the slightest intention of sending anyone to arrest the murderer or find clues.
Nor did he have any intention of asking the shopkeepers and owners around about the situation.
On the other hand, the reporters who had just arrived were constantly taking photos and using small-denomination bills to start asking the shopkeepers and owners around for information.
Reporters investigated such matters more enthusiastically and meticulously than the police station.
Bu Gaochi was now very disappointed that Cai Qingpi and Wang Ergou, who had just snatched the suitcase, hadn't returned.
Bu Gaochi was really panicking now.
He didn't know where those two had gone.
Looking at the two killing gods whose faces were becoming increasingly ugly,
Bu Gaochi said incoherently, "They might have run away!
I know where their hometowns are.
I can take you to find them."
What a joke!
Some of these gangsters didn't even know how they had arrived in this bustling city.
How could they let others know their hometowns?
Bu Gaochi wanted to find an opportunity to see if he could escape from these two killing gods.
Chen Sichuan coldly said, "The monk can run away, but the temple can't. Who's your boss?"
Bu Gaochi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I work under Daheng Zhang Xiaolin.
Our boss is very loyal, and he values me very much."
At this time, Bu Gaochi quickly tried to embellish his reputation, hoping that these two had heard of the name of the Three-Colored Tycoon and would be wary and let him go.
Even if they weren't natives of Shanghai, Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya had heard of Zhang Xiaolin's name during their two months of fighting in Shanghai.
He had over ten thousand thugs under his command and connections in both the underworld and the government.
He was known as the Three-Colored Tycoon: Black referred to his opium trafficking; white referred to the gambling dens he opened and murder contracts he accepted; and yellow referred to the cabarets and brothels he opened.
He had more than ten thousand thugs under his command, and he also had two sworn brothers: Huang Jinrong, the Chinese chief inspector of the French Concession, and Du Yuesheng, the chairman of the French Concession Chamber of Commerce.
Even Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya, who were so daring, didn't dare to go to his door just like that.
At this time, Huang Jinrong was still the inspector of the concession, and he was one of the three tycoons.
What happened in the concession quickly reached his ears.
He heard that three people had killed twenty people in the street, and only one person had survived.
Another was kidnapped.
After Cai Qingpi and Wang Ergou snatched the suitcase,
they ran into the alley and continued to hear gunshots.
They continued to run through two alleys and found that no one was chasing them at all.
This was not normal! Usually, people who lost something would chase after them relentlessly.
Could it be that what they snatched was a fake?
The two carefully opened the suitcase and saw so many watches inside.
Their first thought was that they had made a fortune!
After regaining their senses, the two realized after a while that this was a hot potato:
Two small-time gangsters like them couldn't possibly sell such things.
If they returned to the Si Hai Gang, it would be considered an ancestral blessing if the gang leader gave them a watch strap.
The two discussed it and decided: why not use these things as a stepping stone and go directly to the biggest boss to ask for credit and reward!
That was the mental journey the two of them went through.
From the information reported by his subordinates, Huang Jinrong knew that the Si Hai Gang was under Zhang Xiaolin.
The place where the incident occurred was also Zhang Xiaolin's territory.
Knowing that the sworn brother's subordinate had been kidnapped, Huang Jinrong immediately called Zhang Xiaolin.
He had no idea that Zhang Xiaolin was currently in his own living room, receiving Cai Qingpi and Wang Ergou, whom he would never have glanced at in the past.
Looking at the more than one hundred brand-new watches in the suitcase, Zhang Xiaolin was also taken aback: so many watches were worth at least more than ten thousand.
"How did you get these?" His voice seemed to carry a pressure.
The two ambitious gangsters quickly told him what had happened today.
Zhang Xiaolin's butler quietly walked out.
He quickly found out what had happened on the street.
Cai Qingpi and Wang Ergou heard that only two people from the Si Hai Gang were still alive, and a happy expression flashed across their faces.
There was no one left in the Si Hai Gang, so no one would dare to come and cause trouble for them again.
This was a great thing!
Zhang Xiaolin was also someone who had fought his way out of piles of corpses, and he had killed more than a thousand people.
Although he was also surprised by the ruthlessness of those few outsiders,
he wasn't too afraid: "Investigate the origin of these watches."
He said to the two gangsters kneeling on the ground, "You two can work with A Si from now on."
Zhang Xiaolin casually took out two watches from the suitcase: "These are rewards for you two."
Just hearing that they were working with A Si, the two gangsters were overjoyed.
A Si was Zhang Xiaolin's butler, the person he trusted most, and also the most powerful person in Zhang's mansion besides Zhang Xiaolin. Da Feng Novel
Working with such an influential person, their rise to prominence was just around the corner.
When Cai Qingpi and Wu Ergou went out in the future, their status would be very different from before.
Now that they had each received a watch, they had also received tangible benefits.
The two prostrated themselves and kowtowed!
Their feelings of gratitude were like the endless Huangpu River!
Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya were two straightforward people.
After waiting for half an hour and not seeing anyone return, they forced Bu Gaochi to find all of the gang's belongings.
They packed up everything they could take, and they didn't insist on taking what they couldn't.
The two carried their packages on their backs and then shot Bu Gaochi to death before leaving in big strides.
They were decisive!
The way these two handled things was something Li Xian hadn't expected.
Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya still had important things to do and didn't want to delay here for too long.
The company commander wouldn't have led everyone on a night march and run back to the ruins to hide for no reason.
Although Lin Fan hadn't told his subordinates what the next target was,
these soldiers of the Special Operations Company had a little understanding of this company commander:
The company commander didn't feel at ease for a day if he didn't kill Japanese soldiers.
Killing Japanese soldiers! This was much more important than finding those watches.
Besides, grievances had their source, and debts had their debtor!
They just needed to find the debtor, and they would ask their brothers to help with the revenge.
Li Xian carefully returned to the Special Operations Company's hiding place.
Lin Fan knew what had happened when he saw him return empty-handed alone.
He said to Li Xian, who was covered in sweat, "Rest first! No hurry!"
Seeing that Li Xian was a little anxious,
Lin Fan smiled, "We have more than a hundred brothers, what's the rush? Rest well and take your time!"
Some of the Special Operations Company soldiers didn't know that Li Xian had gone to the concession.
They only found out when they saw him returning from outside.
Li Xian rested for a while before telling everyone that the three of them had bought one hundred and twenty-nine watches and were robbed on their way back.
Although they had killed almost all of the people involved in the scheme, the two small-time gangsters who had robbed the suitcase had escaped.
Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya were now holding the Si Hai Gang's leader hostage in their lair, waiting for those two youngsters.
The Special Operations Company soldiers heard that one hundred and twenty-nine watches had been robbed.
After thinking for a moment, they understood: they had bought a watch for everyone in the entire company!
The company commander had one, so he didn't need one, and each of them would get one.
Thinking back to when they had seen those banknotes the night before, they had had some ideas.
The company commander had quietly given everyone such a big surprise.
But it was ruined by this Si Hai Gang.
The soldiers were immediately outraged: we're going to snatch the watches back.
No! We're going to get the watches back.
We are civilized people and never rob.
Lin Fan said with a smile, "No one can rob the things we seized from the Japanese devils without our permission.
Don't worry! What was taken from me will be returned to me!
We will definitely get the watches back.
But although the watches are valuable, fighting the Japanese devils is more important.
We will fight the Japanese devils tonight, and tomorrow we will go to those people and get the watches back."
While he was working with the soldiers, Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya returned together.
Everyone saw them carrying a package each on their backs and happily assumed that the two of them had snatched the watches back.
Everyone had just heard that each of them would get one!
Everyone happily watched Liu Laopao open the package that Feng Junya was carrying on his back.
Only after opening it did they realize that it was just some banknotes and gold and silver jewelry.
Now, in the eyes of these soldiers, nothing mattered except watches.
Because the company commander was going to give them to everyone!
Chen Sichuan said loudly, "Don't make a fuss! Grievances have their source, and debts have their debtor. We've found the debtor."
After saying that, he opened the package on his back, which also contained the same banknotes and two house deeds.
"I don't have any watches here either, just the Si Hai Gang's wealth!"
Liu Laopao immediately began to provoke him. "You found the debtor, but you didn't go to them to ask for it?
Did a dog eat your guts?"
Feng Junya sneered, "My guts were eaten by a dog. Why don't you go and ask Zhang Xiaolin?
Do you really think we're made of iron?
Even if we were made of iron, we would have to come back and explain to the company commander who the debtor is.
So that you can avenge us in the future."
Zhang Xiaolin's name was like a boulder, suddenly pressing heavily on the heads of all the Special Operations Company soldiers.
The entire Special Operations Company suddenly fell silent.
Even Liu Laopao, who was full of firecrackers, someone who was foul-mouthed, stopped talking when he heard the three words Zhang Xiaolin.
Lin Fan's laughter rang out in a timely manner, "The Three-Colored Tycoon of Shanghai?
Is he more powerful than the Japanese devils?
Does he have planes?
Does he have cannons?
Does he have tanks?
Does he have poison gas bombs?
We're not afraid of the Japanese devils who have these things, why would we be afraid of him?"
Lin Fan's vulgar language made Ji Wudi's gray face blush a little.
It also made all the soldiers of the entire Special Operations Company laugh:
"More than a hundred of us have beaten more than a thousand Japanese devils to the point where they can't find the north.
Are we still afraid of a mere gangster?"
"We're not afraid of him, just pick up a gun and go!"
The soldiers' emotions were stirred up, and there was no longer the depression they had just felt when they heard Zhang Xiaolin's name.
Li Xian looked at Lin Fan gratefully. "With one sentence, he stirred up everyone's emotions.
I still need to learn a lot from this."
Seeing that all the soldiers' attention had shifted from the stolen watches to fighting the Japanese devils,
Lin Fan said with a smile, "Check again and see what differences there are between us and the Japanese devils' team.
We have to look like what we're pretending to be.
Prepare to set off, and when we return victorious,
it will be time to ask Zhang Xiaolin for the debt!"
The Special Operations Company soldiers all became busy, preparing to set off.
According to Lin Fan's plan, their company would start marching in a swaggering manner from now on.
They were disguised as a Japanese army transportation team.
All of the supplies transported by the entire team were on the backs of mules and horses, and even the mortars and poison gas bombs were all placed on the backs of mules and horses.
They were also specially covered up, looking very mysterious.
The Special Operations Company didn't deliberately choose the road near the Suzhou River to march, nor did they deliberately choose to walk through the remote alleys.
According to the map instructions that Lin Fan had compared with Li Xian, he walked on the main road with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
