"Old Lu, I plan to deal with Cheng Haitao!"

"Brother Tang, what happened? Is so angry?" Lu Xiyan asked in surprise. He had not seen Tang Jin so angry.

"This bastard extraditioned the detainees in my Political Department to the Japanese military police without any advice." Tang Jin said angrily.

"Are they the ones who wrote articles in the newspaper a few days ago to scold the Japanese?" Lu Xiyan frowned. These are just ordinary patriots and have some relationship with Chongqing, but it would be a bit too late to say that they are Chongqing elements.

"Yes, he said it was agreed by Salli. I am his direct boss. Salli is the deputy director, but he has no power to take charge of the political department."

"This Cheng Haitao is really a disaster. If he continues to stay in the political department, he will probably become more and more arrogant and domineering." Lu Xiyan nodded.

Such people who are willing to be dogs for Japanese people can't be called "humans".

"I want you to say to the 'God of Death' group, find an opportunity to make people happen, and you will be done with one thing." Tang Jin said gritting his teeth.

"Okay, I'll tell them." Lu Xiyan nodded and eliminated a traitor. What's more, Cheng Haitao leaked his relevant information to Zhang Xiaolin during this confrontation with him, which was also his enemy.

You should not be merciful to the enemy.

"By the way, Xiaowu said, you asked the Smoking Ban to arrest Zhang Xiaolin's housekeeper Li Mi and then release him. What's going on?" Tang Jin asked.

Ma Xiaowu is basically his person now. Although he will report some situations like Tang Jin, he usually won’t explain the specific situation in detail, and he won’t even mention some things to Tang Jin.

Tang Jin had long expected this result. After all, Ma Xiaowu was following Lu Xiyan to do things, and Lu Xiyan was his immediate boss.

People have feelings. Ma Xiaowu is loyal to Lu Xiyan, so Lu Xiyan will trust him, otherwise he would have kicked away.

"This matter starts with Andre, the owner of the Earl Bar..." Lu Xiyan was not at home on the weekend and came to look for Tang Jin because of Li Mi and the Smoking Non-Smoking Brigade.

Lu Xiyan roughly explained the story to Tang Jin.

"So that's the case. Your move is cruel enough. You slapped Zhang Xiaolin in the face with a slap, and broke up his decades of brotherhood with Chen Qi, causing them to cause trouble to Xiao Yun. This is a killing without blood." Tang Jin exclaimed.

"It is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to kill their hearts. It is not an exaggeration to deal with a hardcore traitor like Zhang Xiaolin, no means to do to him." Lu Xiyan said.

"On the surface, you dealt with Zhang Xiaolin because of personal grudges. Who would have thought that you were so cruel to him because he was a traitor?" Tang Jin sighed.

"If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend others. Our current strength is not enough to drive away the Japanese, so we can only fight against the enemy in a false way."

"Curve against the enemy on the curve, Lao Lu, this word is much better than the Wang family's 'curve saving the country'." Tang Jin praised.

"We are in the heart of the enemy. If we directly fight against the Japanese, we will only be crushed to pieces. This is irrational and unwise. It is a last resort to adopting such a method." Lu Xiyan said.

"You are right. Zhang Xiaolin will never withdraw from the French Concession easily. He will never admit the agreement reached by Chen Qi with you." Tang Jin said.

"Then force him to get out of the French Concession." Lu Xiyan said.

"Are you really going to announce Li Mi's confession to the public?" Tang Jin asked.

"This depends on Zhang Xiaolin's choice. If he quit the French Concession obediently, I might let him go, but if he insists on staying in the French Concession, don't blame me. I think the Green Gang forces in the Concession have become a cancer that affects the public security of the Concession and an accomplice in helping the Japanese persecute our people." Lu Xiyan said.

"Old Lu, the Green Gang forces are spread throughout the French Concession, you can't force them."

"It's time, and then. When Boss Du was in power, the Qing Gang might have abide by the rules and talked about the morality of the world, but now it's different. They are helping to abuse him. Will there be so many people following Zhang Xiaolin?" Lu Xiyan said, "Even if there is, we will kill him."

"Do I need my cooperation?"

"Tomorrow is the three-day deadline. If Zhang Xiaolin does not withdraw from the French Concession, I will use my way to let him leave." Lu Xiyan said.

...

Lu Xiyan had already set off a carriage and murderous aura. The reason why he didn't take action was because the three days he agreed with Chen Qi had not yet arrived.

He believed in this agreement, it depends on whether Zhang Xiaolin was willing to abide by it.

In fact, at this time, Lu Xiyan was also a little difficult to get on the verge of being a tiger. Now a head-on conflict with Zhang Xiaolin is not necessarily a good thing for him.

He hoped that Zhang Xiaolin would retreat in a difficult situation, but even so, he was ready to fight this battle. If the Japanese did not see their strength and determination and saw that they were not allowed to knead them casually, they would not look at you with their eyes.

In Zhang Mansion, it would be bleak.

After being taken back by Chen Qi, Li Mi knelt under the steps outside the garden villa of Zhang Gongguan. Not only did the water and rice not enter, but he kneeled for a night.

He knew Zhang Xiaolin very well and would never show mercy when dealing with betrayed people.

However, he didn't dare to run away. Everything he had is here. If he ran away, his family would definitely suffer. No disaster could match his wife and children. It was all about deceiving others. He was always killing everything without leaving any root of disaster.

Chen Qi didn't leave either. He and Zhang Xiaolin were in the study and sat there all night. Chen Qi was much older than Zhang Xiaolin, and his body was not as good as Zhang Xiaolin.

Of course, after Zhang Xiaolin suffered a stroke, his health was getting worse day by day. Although he was a few years younger, he was not as good as Chen Qi.

That night, Zhang Xiaolinku sat there, without saying a word or eating, driving the maids and bodyguards at home far away.

The room was burning with a charcoal stove, and it was not cold.

It was not until a ray of sunlight shot in through the transparent glass in the morning that Zhang Xiaolin, who was sitting on the soft collapse, turned his protruding eyes: "Come on, go to the kitchen to get a bowl of hot ginseng soup."

The maid who stood outside the door for a night, who didn't dare to leave quickly agreed and rushed to the kitchen downstairs.

"Old Chen, are you still angry? Gasp?" Zhang Xiaolin shouted at Chen Qi.

"Ahu, I'm fine, how are you?" Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes. That night, he also accompanied Zhang Xiaolin, without food or drink, and his legs were numb and he couldn't move.

"I'm fine, what's this night? When we were working hard in the past, it was fine if we didn't eat, drink or sleep for three days and three nights." Zhang Xiaolin slowly straightened his spine. He was nicknamed "Zhang Laohu". Although he is old now, the tiger is a tiger and his power is still there.

"Ahu, but you and I are old after all. You are sixty and I am almost seventy. Half of the earth has been buried, so why are you fighting for?" Chen Qi said.

"Old Chen, how many of us can end up well? If we don't advance, we will retreat. If we don't fight, we will die. If we retreat this time, what about the next time?" Zhang Xiaolin said.

"But today is different from the past, what else can we fight for now?"

"We still have 100,000 brothers in the Qing Gang!"

"One hundred thousand brothers, how many people are willing to work hard for us now?" Chen Qi asked.

"I, Zhang Xiaolin, are not so easy to admit defeat. Old Chen, I know what you think. If you step back, we will never come back. I would rather die standing than live on my knees!" Zhang Xiaolin said heavily.

"Ahu, you really don't give in?" Chen Qi asked.

"No one to give in!"

"Hey, I only know that I can't persuade you, Ah Hu, this time, I can't help you anymore. I'm old and can't run." Chen Qi stood up tremblingly.

"Old Chen, your ginseng soup?" The maid walked in with a bowl of steaming ginseng soup.

"Give it to him, I won't drink it." Chen Qi waved his hand slightly.

"Old Chen..." Zhang Xiaolin understood that Chen Qi would not help him anymore. For him, this blow was even more heartbreaking than Weng Zuoqing's murder.

There are so many people like Weng Zuoqing in the gang, but there is only one person who is a veteran and conspiring country like Chen Qi.

Chen Qi staggered out of the study and out of the foreign building of Zhang Gongguan.

He saw Li Mi kneeling under the steps at the door. The wind and dew were heavy during this night. Li Mi was getting older, and her eyebrows and beard were covered with white frost.

"Old Chen..." Li Mi gritted her teeth and called out tremblingly.

"Hey!" Chen Qi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and walked directly past Li Mi.

"Old Chen..." Li Mi's sad voice sounded behind Chen Qi. Chen Qi couldn't help but open his eyes, tried hard to calm down his emotions, and finally left.

Li Mi is Zhang Xiaolin's housekeeper after all. If he pleads for Li Mi, the consequences will be worse.

...

"Sir, Li Mi is dead." At noon on the weekend, Lu Xiyan had lunch and was about to take a break when Ma Xiaowu suddenly came upstairs and told Lu Xiyan about something shocking to him.

"How did you die?"

"It is said that after Li Mi returned, she knelt in front of the foreign building of Zhanggongguan. She knelt all night until this morning, and died of worry and fear." Ma Xiaowu explained.

"What a Zhang Xiaolin, he actually forced Li Mi to death with such a vicious method." Lu Xiyan was really shocked by Zhang Xiaolin's viciousness. The confessions he signed by Li Mi were hard to explain clearly when Li Mi died, and he was not killed by Zhang Xiaolin.

He died by himself.

Of course, if the person died in Zhanggongguan, he was still suspected of "killing and silence".

With Li Mi's death, the effectiveness of the evidence and confessions he had in his hands was greatly reduced. He thought Zhang Xiaolin had given way.

"Also, Chen Qi came out of Zhang Mansion in the morning and went back alone, but no one saw him off." Ma Xiaowu said.

"It seems that this move is not without any effect. At least it can be considered as losing one of Zhang Xiaolin's arms." Lu Xiyan nodded.

Zhang Xiaolin forced Li Mi, the loyal butler who had been with him for many years, became cruel and refused to recognize him.
