The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 68 Lin Fan's Plan

When the street is murder!

Feng Junya had never been afraid. The small leather suitcase he was carrying was snatched away.

Although Lin Fan and the people in the special forces company didn't blame him.

But he felt very guilty!

Now that he encountered this group of people again, he certainly wouldn't be afraid.

Feng Junya spoke loudly, not in a low voice at all.

He wanted everyone to know the true face of the Three-Colored Tycoon.

But he was clearly disappointed in this regard: who in Shanghai didn't know what Zhang Xiaolin, the Three-Colored Tycoon, was up to?

The onlookers now understood: so this group of people had first robbed someone's watch, and now the person was here for revenge.

This was interesting: there was actually someone in Shanghai daring to slap Zhang Xiaolin in the face like this.

The onlookers were all thinking:

These three men wouldn't live to see the sun rise tomorrow.

Many people felt sorry for these three good men!

When the police siren sounded, Li Xian shouted, "Follow me!"

The three ran towards the nearby alley.

After passing through the alley, they nonchalantly started strolling down the street again.

Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya adapted quickly.

Li Xian had just received news that tonight was the birthday of Huang Jinrong's mistress.

A grand ball was to be held at the Great World, which many celebrities in Shanghai would attend.

Li Xian knew where the Great World was.

That place was less than eight hundred meters in a straight line from the Sihang Warehouse that the special forces company had guarded a few days ago.

But he still had to go and check it out in person.

That place was Huang Jinrong's territory. The Shanghai Great World Amusement Center belonged to Huang Jinrong.

Huang Jinrong was the boss of the three Shanghai gangster tycoons. Zhang Xiaolin would definitely attend when he did things.

Whether Lin Fan wanted to find Zhang Xiaolin in the Great World or block him on the road.

In any case, it was always good to check the roads first.

The things that had just happened spread faster than the wind.

Huang Jinrong also knew about this matter. Although he didn't know the origins of Li Xian and the other two.

But these three had killed more than twenty people yesterday, and not only had they not fled Shanghai.

They could still leisurely stroll down the street today. This kind of calmness was not something ordinary people could do.

Huang Jinrong had found out that today's incident was caused by Zhang Xiaolin's men tracking the three of them.

After being discovered by the three, they opened fire without saying a word.

The last words that person said had already spread throughout Shanghai.

The three of them had lost more than a hundred watches, and now they not only wanted Zhang Xiaolin to return them, but also to send ten thousand silver dollars as an apology!

They weren't foreign masters!

Still dreaming of such a good thing!

When Zhang Xiaolin heard this news, he just smiled and said the above words.

A Si saw that his master's hand was gripping the chair tightly.

Although the master said it lightly, the anger in his heart could actually burn down the entire Shanghai.

The two sides basically didn't need to think about reconciliation now. Such humiliation could only be washed away with blood.

A Si was silently preparing for tonight's protection.

Tonight, the master's sworn brother was holding a ball at the Great World to celebrate his mistress's birthday.

Those in Shanghai who wanted to curry favor with him would naturally flock to it.

The master also needed to show his face.

The safety along the way needed to be properly arranged.

Usually, the master only took twenty or so bodyguards with him, and they carried short guns.

Tonight, the number had to be doubled, long guns had to be brought, and two machine guns also needed to be brought.

With such equipment, he hoped that those three reckless men would come to deliver food tonight!

Zhang Xiaolin thought that it was impossible to sell those more than a hundred watches back to their original owners.

He ordered A Si to take ten of them and give them away as gifts today.

The rest could only be put in department stores to be sold.

Although the price would be higher, he didn't know how long it would take to sell them all.

But this matter was no longer in Zhang Xiaolin's consideration.

The current situation was developing too quickly. The Japanese were too fierce, and they had driven the National Army out of Shanghai so quickly.

In Zhang Xiaolin's view, the Japanese army was too powerful.

The National Army would be completely driven out of Shanghai sooner or later.

Next: what should he do?

Zhang Xiaolin was still a director of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Support Association. This status had slightly improved his image in the eyes of all sectors of society recently.

But anti-Japanese war was just a guise. It was okay to spend a little money to buy a reputation.

If he really had to keep doing this, Zhang Xiaolin would be a little unwilling.

Recently, the Japanese had sent people to lobby him, saying that after the National Army withdrew, they hoped to cooperate with Mr. Zhang.

This was a good sign. No matter how the situation in Shanghai changed, no matter how the king's flag on the city head changed, as long as he could still control Shanghai, that was enough!

Tonight, he had to find out what the other two brothers were thinking.

As for what Chiang Kai-shek had proposed: after the National Army withdrew from Shanghai, please ask the three Shanghai tycoons to move to Hong Kong!

How was such a thing possible? Zhang Xiaolin thought coldly!

But tonight was an opportunity to test what the other two brothers were thinking.

The soldiers of the special forces company were carrying five yuan and their hearts were full of pride after the great victory.

When they walked out of the North City Warehouse, they felt that they had the world.

When they left, Lin Fan had said, "No drinking."

The company commander's words must be obeyed!

He only said no drinking. There would be plenty of meat to eat tonight, and they didn't need to eat out.

If they couldn't eat or drink, what was there to do in this bustling Shanghai?

Of course there was: watching plays, movies, and scenery.

Of course, there were also more high-end places, such as various amusement halls and entertainment halls where adults could go to play.

The two youngest soldiers in the special forces company were by the company commander's side and didn't have a chance to come out.

Now those who came out were all adults. Since they couldn't eat or drink, they could only visit the aquarium and taste seafood.

The special forces company had no shortage of talent in this area!

The soldiers of the special forces company didn't return in groups until the lights came on.

Li Xian and the other three had a good time in the Great World before coming out.

Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya had their eyes opened.

Li Xian didn't allow them to go near the slot machines and roulette wheels.

He just let them look at the funhouse mirrors, magic tricks, acrobatics, all kinds of singing and dancing, and countless Chinese and foreign snacks.

Not to mention Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya, even Li Xian, an old Shanghainese, was completely immersed in it.

Fortunately, the three of them still had a bottom line in this Great World. Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya had recovered two watches, so they could still tell the time.

Seeing that it was already past five o'clock, the three quickly went out.

They didn't watch the singing and dancing, and they didn't look at the funhouse mirrors.

Let's go back quickly!

They were the first to go out and the last to enter.

The five squads that Lin Fan had sent out to see the world only played in the aquarium and tried the seafood before returning.

However, the five squads only dared to avoid Ji Wudi and Ji Jiahen and pass on their experience to the brothers in the two squads who stayed at home.

Lin Fan even personally led Ji Wudi and Ji Jiahen to cook for this group of people.

The spatula used for the big pot dishes was a small shovel.

After Li Xian came back, he immediately went to the front of the big pot, helped stir-fry the dishes, and told about what he had found out this afternoon.

Lin Fan thought silently in his heart.

After the entire company had eaten, the ten-person meeting of the special forces company began again.

Liu Laopao, Ye Dadan, and the others kept looking at the watches worn by Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya. Everyone could see the covetous expressions on their faces.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Don't be envious! The news that the deputy company commander found out is that Zhang Xiaolin is going to a banquet at the Great World tonight.

We're going to go and get back what was stolen from us, and get back what we're owed.

And get all the compensation we should get."

The squad leaders all laughed.

After everyone was happy for a while, Lin Fan said, "Back to the topic, since we're going to do it, we have to be prepared.

If someone is in the open, someone has to be in the dark.

If someone is charging, someone has to cover!

The concession is different from the outside after all. The weapons that people in the open can carry can only be pistols.

The other party will definitely have more people than us, so everyone has to be careful."

Li Xian was the first to speak, "Someone has to stay behind at the warehouse. Let's decide who will stay behind first."

Hearing that they were going to decide on the team to stay behind, Liu Laopao was the first to speak, "We stayed behind this morning!

You shouldn't let us guard the house again at night!"

Chen Sichuan also immediately stated, "The first squad guarded the house this afternoon, so you shouldn't let the first squad guard the house tonight."

Feng Junya also quickly stood up, "The direct detachment also stayed at home this afternoon, so the direct detachment must be involved in tonight's operation."

Zhen Danxiao also spoke, "The fifth squad didn't get any meat this morning, so you can't let the fifth squad guard the house tonight no matter what."

Lin Fan looked at the four squad leaders who were already red in the face and asked the other four squad leaders for their opinions, "What do you think?"

Yang Daren said readily, "This is a concession, which is much better than the wilderness.

I suggest leaving only one squad."

The other three squad leaders already knew that the squad to stay behind must come from their squads.

They all nodded, "Yes! Yes! It's enough to leave only one squad."

Lin Fan exchanged glances with Li Xian and saw that he meant the same thing.

So he agreed!

Yang Daren said with a smile, "Since I proposed it, our squad will go to the Great World tonight.

The three of you will draw lots for who stays behind!"

Xiao Dongbei, Jia Shusheng, and Ye Dadan spat on his face, "Dream on!

Four sticks! Same rules!"

Yang Daren's words were directly ignored. Yang Daren, who participated in the lottery, obviously had his hands blessed.

Yang Daren said with a mournful face, holding the longest bamboo stick and gently patting his face, "Why am I so unlucky?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Stop acting! Everyone takes turns for this kind of staying behind. After tonight, you three squads will choose next time.

Anyway, everyone will get a turn."

Xiao Dongbei said with a smile, "Sooner or later, we'll all get a turn anyway.

It's good to be comfortable once, and it's best if we get to be last every time."

Xiao Dongbei's words caused another burst of laughter from everyone.

Lin Fan waved his hand to stop everyone from continuing to talk.

He pointed to the map and said, "The location of the Great World is not far from the Sihang Warehouse that we guarded.

However, we actually don't know anything about it.

We don't know anything about the roads in the entire concession.

Therefore, it will be a bit difficult to take action.

My plan is: the people entering the Great World will be divided into three parts.

One part will go in and familiarize themselves with the situation inside the Great World, then withdraw and prepare to respond a few hundred meters away from the Great World.

The two teams that continue to stay inside, one will act in the open.

The other will just stay hidden and not move.

Unless the situation is critical, it's best not to move.

Even the team that acts in the open should lag behind a little after rushing out of the Great World.

Then follow out.

Be ready to cut off the retreat at any time."

Li Xian thought for a while before saying, "There is a small alley about three hundred meters after leaving the Great World.

We can retreat from this alley.

An ambush with a machine gun here can block it off."

Lin Fan agreed with this plan, but he still asked Li Xian to make two backup plans.

The best case scenario was that the three teams would retreat separately, and the worst case scenario was that the three teams would merge and retreat together.

Lin Fan had prepared for both the best and worst case scenarios.

After discussing, Lin Fan began to summarize, "The first and second squads will be the team ambushing in the alley, which is the third team, commanded by Chen Sichuan.

The third and fourth squads will be commanded by Li Xian, hiding in the Great World as a hidden force.

It's best not to be exposed from beginning to end.

The fifth and sixth squads plus the three squads of the direct detachment will be the team in the open.

Commanded by Feng Junya."

Everyone looked at Lin Fan: You're the company commander, so you're not commanding tonight?

Lin Fan smiled, "I'm the commander-in-chief! The reason why they are the commanders is that these three have already played in the vicinity of the Great World and in the Great World for a whole afternoon today.

They know the way!"

Knowing the way was a very powerful reason!

Feng Junya said happily, "Company commander, don't worry! I'll grab Zhang Xiaolin when I see him tonight.

Then force him to return the watches and give us money!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but worry when he looked at his excited appearance.

He thought for a while, "Let's not take people as soon as we meet.

Let everyone get familiar with the situation before taking people."

In the eyes of the soldiers of the special forces company, they didn't think that the Three-Colored Tycoon who could control Shanghai was so easy to catch.

At best, an ordinary gang leader was just a social gangster.

In the face of true power, he was just an ant.

Catching Zhang Xiaolin, getting back their goods, and collecting interest, was that a problem?

Was this kind of thing still a problem?

Of course not!

The special forces company had already attacked Hongqiao Airport and Jiangwan Airport.

They knew how to shoot down planes, so wouldn't they be able to catch Zhang Xiaolin?

Of course, it was like catching a turtle in a jar - a sure thing.

Lin Fan looked at the Ji sisters, "You don't have to dress up as men tonight."

Ji Wudi's eyes flickered, but she still insisted, "It's easier to move around dressed like this."

It was indeed more beautiful to put on women's clothes, but it was indeed easier to march and fight dressed as men.

But even so, the two of them still untied their chest wraps.

It hurt a little to be wrapped up like this every day!

The two sisters washed away the dust that they had deliberately left on their faces.

Putting on men's clothes again, everyone with eyes could recognize that they were women dressed as men.

Not only that, but women dressed in this neutral way looked particularly attractive.

In this era of Shanghai, there were many girls dressed like this.

So it wasn't abrupt.

The dozen or so soldiers in Yang Daren's squad had already replaced the original sentries everywhere in the warehouse at this time.

They had even set up sentry posts on the street.

The people that the special forces company was going to find tonight were the gangster tycoons of Shanghai, so they couldn't help but pay attention to it.

The people from the special forces company walked towards their destination in several groups.

The three temporarily formed teams walked towards the Shanghai Great World Entertainment Center from different directions.

These soldiers had heard Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya talk about so many fun and interesting things inside.

They had long wanted to run in and take a look.

But before entering, Lin Fan had already ordered, "No gambling. No opium!

Violators will be punished by military law!"

Lin Fan didn't announce what his military law was.

None of the soldiers asked.

The three teams of soldiers from the special forces company, although they didn't walk together, all walked around the Great World.

Especially the small alley where the three teams would merge and evacuate in the worst case scenario, every soldier had walked through it in person.

The Shanghai Great World at night was much more beautiful than during the day. The magnificent light emitted by the signboard at the front door at night was much more beautiful than during the day.

Tonight, the soldiers of the special forces company had been dazzled along the way, and now they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Chen Sichuan and Feng Junya, who had been there before, kept urging, "It's more beautiful and fun inside!"

Only then did these people buy tickets and go in.

When buying tickets, they bought them in groups of three and groups of five.

It didn't seem like the whole team was a group, nor did it seem like they were coming alone.

Like dockworkers, they ran over in groups to open their eyes.

Lin Fan saw that there were only two ticket collectors at the entrance of the Great World, and there were a dozen or so people standing and chatting not far away.

Those should be the security guards here.

Ji Wudi, Ji Jiahen, Wu Xiaobao, and Zhao Long followed Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked like a big boss at first glance, with two male and two female followers.

The Great World had always been lively and extraordinary, and it was even more so tonight!

The special forces soldiers who had already been dazzled outside were even more amazed after entering.

Like children, they stood in front of the funhouse mirrors, watching themselves suddenly become as thin as bamboo poles, at least four or five meters tall.

In front of another mirror, the whole person became a short, fat person.

There were also mirrors that made their heads as big as pumpkins and their bodies as fat as winter melons.

There were a total of thirteen funhouse mirrors of various kinds along the way.

The soldiers of the special forces company laughed and played all the way.

After entering, there was a lingering sound of singing, and some people immediately ran over to see the stars and listen to the singing.

There were also operas, and there were many famous actors performing here.

Fortunately, the captains of several teams still had a little clarity in their minds.

They silently stopped their own impulses and quietly ordered: familiarize yourselves with the environment first and keep an eye on the retreat routes.
