Chapter 693: Survival

Zhang Xiaolin fell ill.

This news came from Zhang Mansion, and someone saw the butler of Zhang Xiaolin's family invited the famous Shanghai doctor Kang Nai'an to go to the mansion for diagnosis overnight.

Kang Nai'an studied in Germany and was a famous doctor in Shanghai. He was much more famous in the past than Lu Xiyan and was from a famous family. Now he is much worse.

Kang Nai'an diagnosed that Zhang Xiaolin had a minor stroke, and his face was paralyzed, and he lost some of his chewing function, so he was not so clear about his speech.

Fortunately, his consciousness is still clear and he is not confused. As long as he pays attention to recuperation, he can completely restore normalcy to such minor strokes.

The Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai and the Navy Martial Arts Office also sent special personnel to the mansion to visit and comfort.

"The Japanese really take Zhang Xiaolin seriously and even took Qingshui to visit. It seems that this is putting pressure on us." Tang Jin put down the newspaper in his hand and gently knocked on the desk.

Lu Xiyan held a cigarette in his left hand and a cup of tea in his right hand, blew the tea on it floating on it, and sipped a small sip: "This is expected. If the Japanese cannot even protect their own dogs, who else would be willing to be dogs for them?"

"You are so toxic. Fortunately, I have no outsiders here. If this is spread, the reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world will hear it. I wonder what it will add fuel to the fire and write for you." Tang Jin pointed at Lu Xiyan and laughed.

"It's okay, even if I don't say this, they won't write me as a good person." Lu Xiyan said, "Why, I called me at noon. Are you going to treat me to dinner?"

"Eating is a trivial matter, and besides, you don't have to be a meal or two." Tang Jin smiled, "I'm asking you for something else."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know that Su Meichang, the leader of the Central Commission for Jiangsu and Zhejiang Special Operations Group, voted against the '76'?" Tang Jin suddenly lowered his voice and said to Lu Xiyan.

"What's going on? Why did something happen to the Central Commission for Discipline again at this time?"

"Su Meichang and Lin Shiqun had an old age in Soviet Russia back then. Not only did Su Meichang join the counterattack No. 76, but he even threw all his own action teams. Su Meichang himself also served as the mayor of the Central Commission for Nanjing District, and the Central Commission for Nanjing District is over." Tang Jin sighed.

“Is the loss big?”

"I don't know how to identify people. Xu Tailai was called over by Jiang Jiang and scolded him. If Mr. Lifu hadn't pleaded with him, he would have removed his director of the Central Bureau of Administration on the spot." Tang Jin said.

The fate of Zhongtong is really declining. Although it is common for work behind enemy lines and exposure and sacrifice, there are no traitors like them, and now there are incidents of collective defection by senior cadres.

Of course, this is not just the case that happens to the Central Union and the Central Committee, but also other institutions and organizations, and the Military Control Commission is not much better.

The district mayors of Shanghai District have asked someone to set up a trap and arrest him.

"We don't want to interfere in the affairs of the Central Government, so as not to blame us for being troubled, but we can't ignore our own affairs." Tang Jin said.

"What happened to Wang Tianheng?" When Lu Xiyan heard this, he understood what Tang Jin called him to do at noon today.

"Chen Gongshu's people failed in their actions, and Wang Tianheng was only slightly injured. I guess if he was angry, the consequences would be more serious than the Su Meichang." Tang Jin said.

"Is there no remedial measures for District Mayor Chen?"

"Wang Tianheng has already seen Boss Dai personally issued a secret order to punish him in Shanghai, and was assassinated again. If it were you, how would you choose?" Tang Jin asked back.

"If it were me, I could hate Boss Dai, but I would not surrender to '76' and would not be a traitor." Lu Xiyan said.

"This is Lao Lu, but Wang Tianheng is different. He will not be as good as you and will not do anything to betray his ancestors, and he is different." Tang Jin shook his head and said, "So, Wang Tianheng is in a counter-attacking position and surrendering to '76' number," he said.

"Boss Dai still wants to kill him directly, once and for all?" Lu Xiyan and Tang Jin have been together for a long time, and they have a very good understanding of some of the styles of the Military Control Commission. It is rough and simple, which is the consistent style of the Military Control Commission. The Central Committee prefers to play with people's hearts and likes to win with wisdom, but often, the decisions made are very stupid.

"Wang Tianheng was already shocked. Besides, he has been in the Military Control Commission for so many years and is very clear about the military control methods and family rules. It is difficult to kill him now." Tang Jin said, "He knows the Military Control Commission very well."

"What do you mean?"

"Boss Dai means that he wants to ask the military advisor to take action." Tang Jin said slowly.

"If Boss Dai has this idea, why do you need to go through Brother Tang? Just give orders directly?" Lu Xiyan said in surprise.

"Although the 'military advisor' is also considered to be from Chongqing, it is under the first department of the Second Department of the Military Order, and it is not the same unit as the Military Control Commission. Boss Dai has only requests and cannot give orders to the 'military advisor'. Therefore, he can only test the 'military advisor's attitude through me." Tang Jin explained.

"As far as I know, Boss Dai issued a killing order before he found out the matter. If Wang Tianheng really surrendered to the enemy, he should have died. But if he had not surrendered to the enemy, I was afraid that if Boss Dai didn't say it, the 'military advisor' would have taken the life of this traitor." Lu Xiyan said.

"I also believe this. Now, we must cut off this risk in the bud. Lao Lu, can you meet him and understand the pros and cons of your relationship with the 'military advisor'?" Tang Jin asked.

"As far as I know, the 'military advisor' is not in Shanghai now. The 'military advisor' is in charge of the Shanghai side, and the 'military advisor' is remotely controlled."

"The 'Military Advisor' is not in Shanghai, so where is he?" Tang Jin was shocked.

"It should not be far away, maybe in Suzhou, maybe in Wuxi or even Jiaxing. His body needs to be calm and he cannot be overworked. Therefore, it should be a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. I don't know where it is." Lu Xiyan simply told a huge lie.

Anyway, there is no way to prove this lie.

"Then you should be able to contact the 'military advisor'?"

"Of course, otherwise how could he control the situation here remotely?" Lu Xiyan said, "Boss Dai is really, why bother to do this."

"Since that's the case, I'll bother Lao Lu, please contact Brother Guo Wu and ask him to tell the 'military advisor', see if you can help with this matter?"

If it is confirmed that Wang Tianheng surrendered to the enemy and had the opportunity to assassinate, Lu Xiyan really doesn't mind getting rid of this traitor, but it would be too difficult to kill a shocked person now.

What's more, Wang Tianheng has already surrendered to the enemy.

However, Su Meichang, the Central Commission for Translation, urgently needed to be eliminated. This guy took the initiative to surrender to the enemy and took his group of people to the '76'. He himself was a senior cadre of Translation. In this way, the Central Commission for Translation's work behind enemy lines in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was considered a waste of money.

"Okay, I was the middleman who was passing the message between you. Since Brother Tang has spoken, I should tell Brother Guo Wu, but I think I should not have too much hope."

"Well, Zhang Xiaolin's illness is a bit like a mourning soldier. He has closed most of the Tuxing and Yanzike in his name. It seems that he is planning to admit defeat." Tang Jin continued.

"Brother Tang, the more we are, the more we need to be careful. Zhang Xiaolin has been lying on the beach for many years, and it is not so easy to be defeated by us. Even if he doesn't do an opium business, he has the support of the Japanese behind him. It is difficult for us to kill him with one stick." Lu Xiyan said, "I judge that Zhang Xiaolin is likely to fall down and die and survive."

"We have to survive by surviving the tail, and we have all taken away the opium source. Even if he bought opium from the Japanese, he would not be able to enter the French Concession unless he went to Ji Yunqing to grab the territory?" Tang Jin said strangely.

"Don't forget, there is another Huang Jinrong in the French Concession." Lu Xiyan reminded, "If Zhang Xiaolin was knocked out by us, he became the biggest one. Is our smoking ban selective? Is it only for him, Zhang Xiaolin, and not Huang Jinrong?"

Tang Jin suddenly woke up.

Yes, Zhang Xiaolin took advantage of his illness and even wanted the territory in the French Concession. Then, apart from making an excuse for himself and making a defensive move, wasn’t it just transferring their firepower to Huang Jinrong?

Zhang Xiaolin and Ji Yunqing competed for territory in western Shanghai, but Huang Jinrong secretly stabbed him a lot of territory and business.

Also, how did Zhang Xiaolin come from the batch of opium in Huang Jinrong’s hand come from? Can Zhang Xiaolin not doubt it?

At this moment, his inner anger towards Huang Jinrong may not be less than those who faced Lu Xiyan and Tang Jinlai.

"Brother Tang, we have to use different methods to deal with Huang Jinrong. His foundation is in the French Concession, just in the Shanghai Beach. Unlike Zhang Xiaolin, a cross-river dragon who originally came from other places, his advantages and weaknesses are the same." Lu Xiyan smiled and analyzed, "Zhang Xiaolin is an outsider, so he has been at the bottom of the three tycoons over the years. If Boss Du had not gone to Hong Kong, Huang Jinrong would not have been in the limelight. Therefore, he is the weakest among the three tycoons and the best one to fight. Huang Jinrong has a deep foundation. Although the tiger is in the flat sun, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. In today's Shanghai Beach, many of Huang's disciples occupy a prominent position. This is also the reason why the Japanese value him and can tolerate him. Therefore, we have to use a slightly softer method for Huang Jinrong."

"What means?"

"If Zhang Xiaolin died, who would the territory he left behind belong to?" Lu Xiyan asked back.

"You mean, use this to lure Huang Jinrong to give up his opium business in the French Concession?" Tang Jin's eyes lit up.

"The tolerance of the Japanese is limited, not to mention that most of Huang Jinrong's opium is cooperated with the British. Even if he secretly turns to the Japanese, why should he be shy now and hide at home and not go out like a lady?" Lu Xiyan said, "He wants to cooperate with the Japanese to make huge profits, but he doesn't want to be the infamy of a traitor. He is the most greedy person."

"As long as he understands that our ban on smoking in the French Concession is serious and he will give him sufficient compensation for the future, he will definitely make a choice. Moreover, now that he and Zhang Xiaolin are in power, it is impossible to reconcile." Lu Xiyan said.

"It makes sense, but you can't even say these words to me, so who should I go to?"

"Brother Tang, are you testing me? Isn't there a ready-made peacemaker?" Lu Xiyan smiled.
