The next day, Lu Xiyan made an appointment with Tang Jin for dinner and arranged it at Rongshun Pavilion.

Without anyone else, even if Ma Xiaowu is only four people, he was supposed to count Cao Bin, but Cao Bin had something to do temporarily and could not get through.

"Lao Lu, what do you think? Based on my understanding of Zhang Xiaolin, he couldn't just give in." Tang Jin said with a piece of mutton and put it in a sauce dish.

"I know, that's why I have to use the trick." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"The military advisor Guo Hanjie has come to find me. Zhang Xiaolin is in the karaoke bar, casino and those shameful businesses in the French Concession. He wants to take over. What do you think?" Tang Jin said.

"What does it mean by Brother Tang?"

"He can give him these businesses, such as karaoke bars and casinos, but we must take shares. We fight hard in front of us, so we can't let them take advantage of it for nothing." Tang Jin said.

"How many shares are appropriate to give them?"

"40%, up to 40%, you and I must account for 60%. In this way, we can at least ensure that we have the right to speak in the future." Tang Jin said.

"Well, if you don't have any effort, you can't say it. At least you can't catch Viper's men by the police station. Even if you can catch it, how many people will die." Lu Xiyan said.

"Well, the combat power of those three guys is really unspeakable. They are still so powerful after being injured. There is also the one named Kumar. I have never seen such a powerful person. They are simply a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus." Tang Jin said.

"I am now worried that Lu Jinshi and Huang Jinrong will be in a quarrel. The power of these two people in the French Concession cannot be underestimated." Lu Xiyan said.

"Don't worry Huang Jinrong, he is almost the same as a tiger without teeth. Although there are many disciples, few people still take him seriously. Now he just wants to guard his current family business and spend his old age in peace." Tang Jin said.

Huang Jinrong failed to raise a successor. No matter he adopted a son with Lin Guisheng, he unfortunately died at the age of 17. Later, he adopted a single son with Lu Lanchun, but none of them were biological.

Even if you don’t have an illegitimate child, no matter how big the family business you earn, it will be someone else’s.

The head of the Huang family was his first wife's maid and his eldest daughter-in-law Li Zhiqing.

Huang Jinrong is already seventy years old and has no children. He really doesn’t have much ambitions and just wants to keep his current family business.

"As for Lu Jinshi, he is not in Shanghai and has already returned to Chongqing. Now Shanghai is headed by Xu Caichen, but it is still Wan Molin and Wan Boss Wan on the surface." Tang Jin said.

"Oh, is that?" Lu Xiyan of course knew that Lu Jinshi was not in Shanghai, and he also knew that most of Du Yuesheng's industries in Shanghai were taken care of by Wan Molin, but in fact, Du Yuesheng's disciple Xu Caichen secretly took care of him.

The real spokesperson of Du Yuesheng's power in Shanghai is Xu Caichen.

Lu Jinshi controlled Du Yuesheng's power within the Military Control Commission, while Xu Caichen was economical, and he was considered to be a civil and military officer around Du Yuesheng, and two capable generals.

"You don't care much about these things in normal times, and I haven't told you that Xu Caichen is very low-key, but he is secretly managing Boss Du's industry in Shanghai, and rarely participates in other aspects. Generally speaking, Boss Wan is more exposed." Tang Jin explained, "You pushed Boss Wan to the position of Dong Dong this time. Boss Du is very happy. Therefore, in dealing with Zhang Xiaolin, at least Boss Du's power can be borrowed."

"I think that although Boss Du is in Hong Kong, his influence is still there. Although Boss Wan has a slightly inferior reputation, he is also well-known in the French Concession. No one is more suitable to replace Zhang Xiaolin than him." Lu Xiyan said. In fact, Zhang Xiaolin's identity as Dong Dong not only represents him, but also the Qing Gang.

If the Green Gang is completely kicked out and there is no strong force to suppress it, there will inevitably be major problems in the order of the French Concession.

Therefore, we must choose a person who comes from the Qing Gang who can suppress the role, and we cannot threaten our own people to serve as Director Hua.

This is expedient and balance.

In fact, Lu Xiyan can push people like Dong Shaojun or Fang Wen who are inclined to him, but this will inevitably cause a rebound within the Qing Gang, and even push these people in the Qing Gang to the Japanese.

At least now, Wan Molin has become the queen of Xinhua, and the Qing Gang has a person in charge in the French Concession.

"A day has passed, and there is no movement on Zhang Xiaolin. What do you think he will do?" Tang Jin asked.

"Remove the French Concession and hand over the industry that he has worked hard for many years. Not to mention that he is reluctant, his subordinates will not agree." Lu Xiyan said, "So, I judge that this is Zhang Xiaolin's delaying strategy. On the one hand, we have suppressed him in all aspects, and he can't stand it. Secondly, he wants to numb me and stabilize me, and there is an explanation for the inside. Thirdly, he bet on me and was killed by the "viper".

"He really dares to bet like this?"

"Zhang Xiaolin was originally a complete gambler. For so many years, he has been gamblers. This is the character of a gambler, and he is desperate to bet." Lu Xiyan said.

"That's right, Lao Zhang is really a gambler. He joined forces with Boss Du and won the bet. He has been so popular for twenty years. Now he has sold himself to the Japanese again. This is another gamble. But it's hard to say whether the Japanese can save him this time." Tang Jin said.

"That depends on the value of me and him to the Japanese." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"What does it mean?" Tang Jin said in surprise.

"Tomorrow night, Zhou Fuhai and his wife invite me and Meimei to dinner." Lu Xiyan smiled mysteriously.

"What, even Zhou Fuhai was brought out by the Japanese and became a peacemaker for you?" Tang Jin was shocked. Zhou Fuhai is now a sensational figure and the second-ranked figure of the Wang family. Not everyone can come to you, let alone let Zhou Fuhai treat him to dinner.

How many people can give this face to those traitors in Shanghai?

Of course, this is not a glorious thing.

But this is a remarkable thing.

"You think it would be too much for Zhang Xiaolin to invite the Japanese to let Zhou Fuhai be a peacemaker for him." Lu Xiyan smiled, "It's a different matter for Zhou Fuhai to invite me to dinner."

"Oh, no wonder, I said." Tang Jin looked like he suddenly realized.

"We have to manage the line between Lao Lu and Zhou Fuhai. If we can grasp some of the movements of Wang through your personal relationship with him, it will be of great benefit to Chongqing's early response." Tang Jin said.

"What do you mean is to ask me to get information from Zhou Fuhai?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Although your focus is not on intelligence, if you can use this relationship and find out some relevant information, it will be useful for the cause of the war of resistance."

"I'm not good at this, and not to mention that Zhou Fuhai won't take the initiative to tell me these things. If I ask about it on my own, it will inevitably arouse his suspicion." Lu Xiyan said.

"You don't have to ask deliberately, just maintain this relationship." Tang Jin said.

"OK."

"Actually, this is what Boss Dai means. He doesn't want you to be too involved with Zhou Fuhai, but he can maintain such a channel for news. If necessary..." Tang Jin did not continue, but Lu Xiyan understood the meaning.

When necessary, you can become a contact person between Chongqing and Zhou Fuhai.

Of course, Lu Xiyan did not want him to reveal his identity as the "Military Command" in front of Zhou Fuhai, but he had no choice unless he dared to disobey the order of "Dai Yunong".

Fortunately, he still has the capital to talk to Dai Yunong. If Dai Yunong had to be an intermediary at this stage, he would never agree.

Besides, Zhou Fuhai dares not have any secret contact with Chongqing now, and he has no idea, so Dai Yunong will not give him this task.

"Has the place where Jonathan, Eva and others were detained leaked?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"According to your opinion, it should have been spread, but I can't guarantee that Zhang Xiaolin and the "Viper" will receive the news." Tang Jin said.

"The person you chose shouldn't be Cheng Haitao?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Um."

"That's not wrong." Lu Xiyan nodded.

...

"Sir, tonight, Zhang Xiaolin's butler Li Mi did make an appointment with Cheng Haitao to have dinner at the Tailai Restaurant." After dinner, he broke up with Tang Jin and returned home. Yan Lei went upstairs to report.

"It seems that Zhang Xiaolin is really playing a delaying plan with me." Lu Xiyan nodded, "I will have dinner at the New World Hotel tomorrow night. This is the only opportunity for the 'Viper'..."

"Sir, can't the banquet tomorrow night be cancelled?" Yan Lei said worriedly.

"No, Zhou Fuhai treats me to dinner. There must be something wrong. If I cancel it for no reason, what will you think?" Lu Xiyan said, "Besides, isn't this an opportunity for us?"

"But this is too dangerous. The New World Hotel is in the public concession. Who knows where he will be ambushed along the way?"

"He won't be ambushing halfway. First, there are not enough people, there are only two people. Andre's level is limited and he can only be used as a suspicious soldier at most. Second, I am riding in a bulletproof sedan. As long as I sit in a car, he can't do anything to me. Eva and Frank must have told him about this." Lu Xiyan said, "So, the best chance of assassination is to get out of the car, enter the gate of the New World, and come out of the New World after dinner. Of course, he first enters the New World Hotel and waits for an opportunity to assassinate."

"How did he know that sir, you are going to have dinner at the New World Hotel tomorrow night?"

"Although Zhou Fuhai is treating him tomorrow night, I have decided the time and place." Lu Xiyan said, "If Zhang Xiaolin wants to know, it shouldn't be difficult."

"What if the 'Viper' doesn't know or don't come?" Yan Lei asked.

"Then Zhang Xiaolin has no chance. If he wants to deny it and refuses to admit it, it will not be as simple as quitting the French Concession." Lu Xiyan snorted coldly.

"Sir, who will you take tomorrow?" Yan Lei asked seriously.

"Why, do you want to go with me and protect me from safety?"

"Sir, safety is more important than heaven, and Yan Lei has no choice but to do so." Yan Lei said solemnly.

"Okay, if you want to go, go. Wouldn't I take you?" Lu Xiyan said, "I notify Brother Ding Er, Yan Hu's team will enter the seat early. Tomorrow night, if the 'viper' doesn't come, you must stay for me, regardless of whether you are alive or not!"

"Yes, I'll inform Brother Ding Er to go."
