Chapter 140 Confrontation

There are two types of people in the world, one is a person who wants to live, and the other is a person who accepts his fate. No matter when the time comes, most people who accept their fate will be accepted.

Chen Chen didn't want to blame them. In fact, death is easy, life is difficult, but many people can't think of this.

The Double Tenth Festival passed by relatively safely under the strict guard of the concession authorities. Although there were still expected slogans, it was not a big deal compared to violent attacks.

In Detu, a bamboo archway was built on No. 76, with a small triangle-shaped blue sky and red earth flag decorated with the words "Peaceful Founding of the Kingdom".

In Nanshi, the puppet regime held a meeting, and representatives from various official institutions and eighty primary school students attended and listened to speeches praising Japan and denounced the government.

In contrast, the Patriots only posted a small number of anti-Japanese slogans on the walls along Seymour Road and near Zhongbai Company on Nanjing Road, and secretly distributed some brochures.

Chen Chen felt that it was wise to be so low-key. Under the strict warning of the concession authorities, opposing the Japanese in public was a foolish courage, and it was exposed in vain and increased the danger.

At this moment, Chen Chen received information from Zhang Chengfu that Cao Bingsheng and his son have been going to the 76th day recently and asked him to be more careful.

This was indeed bad news for Chen Chen. But he was not sure yet, so he decided to confront Cao Bingsheng in person to see how he said it.

If Cao Bingsheng's words cannot convince Chen Chen, then he will not be afraid to use his ruthless actions to kill Cao Bingsheng and his son.

But Cao Bingsheng did not seem to have noticed Chen Chen's murderous intent. After receiving the call, he happily went to the appointment, as if he had not done anything wrong.

This time, Chen Chen did not call Xu Huaiyi, but he and Cao Bingsheng. At the same time, he also asked Zhang Chengfu to temporarily leave the French Concession and stay with Chu Jiao and Zhao Youcai, preparing to guide him and start the action.

In the private room of the hotel, Chen Chen didn't say much nonsense. After sitting down for a while, he asked Cao Bingsheng what he was doing on No. 76.

Seeing Chen Chen's cold face, Cao Bingsheng hurriedly explained. In order to win the trust of Yu Chen Chen, he also revealed his identity as a Chongqing spy.

It turned out that Li Shijun and Ding Mo Village at No. 76 had a conflict. Cao Bingsheng and his son felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, not to be a traitor, and they merged with No. 76.

When Li Shijun recruited Dingmo Village and recommended Dingmo Village as the "front desk manager", it was originally a strategic behavior under the guiding ideology of "just seek profit, not to seek fame".

Because at the beginning, Wang Jingwei had not treason and had not come to Shanghai. Li Shijun felt that the risk of taking the lead in colluding with the Japanese was too high, so he almost became the target of the military commander Yu Songqiao.

That's why he decided to leave the matter of showing up to Ding Mocun, counting money later on is the ideal division of labor.

However, just mid-year, with the arrival of Wang Jingwei Group, the situation changed.

In the minds of Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai, Ding Mo Village is the top leader, and Li Shijun is only Ding Mo Village's deputy.

Since he is the deputy, Li Shijun is far inferior to Ding Mocun in terms of power.

After the Sixth National Congress of the Wang Party, Ding Mo Village was at the top of Li Shijun. In addition to being the top 76, he was also the Minister of Society. He also assisted Zhou Fohai in presided over the "cleaning committee" and took charge of the "peaceful country-salvation army" of Wang Puppet.

Therefore, Dingmo Village not only arranged personnel on No. 76, but sometimes even pointed at Li Shijun and his wife and were arrogant.

Li Shijun was not willing to accept this, so he began to compete with Ding Mo Village for the real power to control No. 76, and started fighting openly and secretly.

First, Li Shijun took advantage of the conflict between Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai to move himself to Wang Jingwei's side.

As soon as Wang Jingwei arrived in Shanghai, Li asked Chen Chunpu to pass it to Wang a long letter of ten thousand words, introducing himself to Ding Mocun as a "spokes". He is the boss of Tsai, and Ding Mocun is just his hand.

At the same time, in order to please Wang Jingwei, everything was done in front of Ding Mo Village, as a pioneer in showing his wishes, and he also stepped up close to the Japanese master.

There is indeed progress in this regard. Li Shiqun gradually gained favorable feelings in these two aspects. At the same time, Li Shijun also stepped up the crackdown on the image of Dingmo Village and spread public opinion that was unfavorable to Dingmo Village.

More importantly, Li Shiqun seized the internal organization of No. 76, attacked the other party, cultivated and consolidated his strength, and gradually transferred the real power to his own hands. He would never allow the Ding faction to form a force.

When he found out that his original assistant Tang Huimin was leaning towards Dingmo Village, Li Shijun took the opportunity to make an excuse to imprison him.

Then, Li Shijun discovered that all spies who were invested in No. 76 in the Shanghai Party Committee often tended to be Dingmo Village. So Li Shiqun adopted the method of physical elimination to cut off the source of the pro-Ding elements from the source.

For example, Zhang Xiaotong, the spy leader of the Kuomintang Shanghai Party Committee, was arrested on No. 76. If he was just worried that Zhang Xiaotong would surrender, he would be from Ding Mo Village. Li Shijun asked someone to kill Zhang Xiaotong and destroy the body.

After finding out the information about Ding and Li Buhe, the boss of Cao's father and son ordered them to act according to the opportunity.

In September, the Cao family and his son got to Ding Mocun, the Minister of the Wang Puppet Social Affairs through the relationship between Wang Hesong and Sun Mingqi of the Wang Puppet Social Affairs Department.

So, as a spy in the French Concession, they went to Ding Mo Village from time to time to find Ding Mo Village. And in front of Ding, they said that Li Shiqun was secretly making trouble for him and was engaged in provocation between Ding and Li.

The purpose of the Cao father and son is very simple, which is to add fuel to the fire and let Ding and Li fight against each other so that the fish man can benefit.

Chen Chen never spoke when Cao Bingsheng was telling him, observing Cao Bingsheng's expression and even his tone.

At the same time, Chen Chen also considered the information he received recently and Zhang Chengfu's observation report.

Judging from the comprehensive situation in all aspects, Chen Chen felt that what Cao Bingsheng said was the truth. At least until now, he has not done anything that is unfavorable to him.

"Brother Chen, I'm telling you honestly and I'll never hide it." Cao Bingsheng looked at Chen Chen, smiled bitterly, and said, "If you don't believe in your brother, then you'll shoot me to death."

Chen Chen lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, and said lightly: "Brother Cao has thought that doing this is not only useless, but also very dangerous. Although Ding and Li have conflicts, they are both traitors and are just power disputes. However, they have to collude with Brother Cao, but their nature is completely different."

Cao Bingsheng nodded and said, "There is an order on the top of the mountain, and it has to be implemented. This is one of them; secondly, if you can provoke an internal fight between Ding and Li, no matter what the result is, it will always be beneficial. As for the danger-"

After pausing, Cao Bingsheng showed a ruthless look and said, "As long as we father and son enter No. 76 at the same time, they have to measure it if they want to take the slaughter. The brothers under my command also have many ruthless characters."

It turns out that you two are so persistent and planning.

Chen Chen felt that this was not sure. He let the Cao family and son go to fear revenge. On the surface, this might be the case, but what if there is any accident?

"Ding and Li are fighting in the internal affairs, and they will inevitably send their subordinates to monitor each other. Li Shijun cannot always be kept in the dark for your promotion activities." Chen Chen continued to persuade: "Maybe I already know it now, but I just haven't found a chance to attack."

"There is indeed such a possibility." Cao Bingsheng agreed and said: "It's a matter of time. As long as Ding Mo Village does not leave No. 76, Li Shijun or his subordinates will always know about it when he goes in and picks up. But there is nothing we can do about it."

Chen Chen was helpless when he saw Cao Bingsheng insisting that as long as the father and son entered No. 76, he would not be injured. He was not a nagging person, so he stopped and stopped persuading him.

But Ding and Li had conflicts, so Chen Chen had another idea. He was not trying to pick things up like the Cao father and son, but was preparing to act to fuel the fire.

"Who is more powerful among Ding and Li on No. 76?" Chen Chen asked casually.

"Li Shijun has Wu Shibao's group of desperate people. Ding Mo Village has gathered some spies from the former Party Headquarters and the former Military Control Commission. It should be considered evenly matched!" Cao Bingsheng said in a pondering mood: "Now it depends on who can show off or who has fallen into the fight."

Chen Chen curled his lips and said, "I don't think so. As far as I know, the financial power of No. 76 is in the hands of Li Shijun and Wu Shibao's wife, and if you have money, you can win over people; and it seems that the Japanese favor Li Shijun and his wife have the final say in their internal affairs."

Cao Bingsheng nodded and said, "But Brother Chen, don't forget that Ding Mo Village is the top leader and the director, which is also a relatively favorable condition."

"Who brother Cao thinks which one of Ding and Li is better to deal with?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, not optimistic about anything from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course it's Ding Mo Village!" Cao Bingsheng was very confident about this.

The same insidious and cunning, but on the surface, Li Shijun is even more ruthless, while Ding Mocun seems a little inferior.

Chen Chen smiled and said nothing.

In his opinion, each one is the same, a Japanese dog, a damn traitor. Moreover, No. 76 wants his own life, no matter which one Ding and Li are in power, this will not change at all.

Seeing that Chen Chen did not agree, Cao Bingsheng did not say so deeply, and took out some information to Chen Chen and said, "Don't do anything else with Brother Chen. Just do it as before. Just do what you dare to make trouble on Brother Shen's place and deal with it hard."

Chen Chen nodded, put away the information, and said, "That's natural. I have formed a devastating relationship with No. 76. I dare to enter the concession to make trouble. I will see each one to deal with the other."

Cao Bingsheng laughed and said, "It's a pity that there is no iron man like Brother Chen in the French Concession, which makes the people of No. 76 crazy."

Chen Chen seemed a little confused and asked, "Brother Cao also has ruthless hands, why don't hesitate to move?"

Cao Bingsheng was a little embarrassed and said, "This, alas, although they are cruel enough, they are not good at doing this job and leaving traces."

Humph, if you don’t force yourself, you are also afraid of the Japanese and the spy on No. 76.

Chen Chen complained in his heart, but his face did not appear.

The two ate, drank and talked, and it took nearly an hour before they had finished their fun and parted.

Chen Chen believes that the reply received from Cao Bingsheng is basically reliable.

He didn't care whether he could succeed in the selection. But Chen Chen felt that Cao Bingsheng and his son were a little too confident, and the danger of tooth extraction was very high and unpredictable.

Since the persuasion was not moved, Chen Chen had to make some preparations in advance.

In the evening, he brought Zhang Chengfu and gave him some money to make more friends with brothers in Cao Bingsheng's gang. At the same time, Chen Chen told Zhang Chengfu that if Cao Bingsheng and his son went to No. 76, he would never follow him.

Zhang Chengfu roughly guessed what Chen Chen meant, which was preparing for the position of the Cao family and his son after an accident.

"You may not know how Xu Huaiyi got to power." Chen Chen told Xu Huaiyi's story and said, "You are now a leader, which is a favorable condition. Remember, not everyone wants to win over. But I hope that when the opportunity arises, you can have a group of loyal brothers support you."

Zhang Chengfu nodded and said, "I understand."

"In addition, those who may compete for the throne with you but cannot win over, please find out their situation." Chen Chen continued to explain: "Like address, preferences, places you often go to, etc."

Zhang Chengfu smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement. He knew that if there was a situation of fighting for the throne in the future, these guys would probably be in danger.

"There is one last thing." Chen Chen said: "Pan Sansheng lives at No. 201 Jupolais Road, French Concession, please take time to reconnaise."

Zhang Chengfu knew about Pan Sansheng, an economic traitor, and knew that Chen Chen was going to attack him, but he had no resistance at all.

After seeing off Zhang Chengfu, Chen Chen returned to the police station branch and studied the information Cao Bingsheng gave him.

Obviously, it is easier to get into the periphery of the No. 76 spy organization, and even the brothers under Xu Huaiyi can get in, which shows that.

But it is difficult to enter No. 76. Therefore, Cao Bingsheng's information is scattered rather than important, but it cannot be said that it is useless at all.

Based on the information from Ma Mingyu, Xu Huaiyi, and Cao Bingsheng, Chen Chen still obtained a lot of information, such as the characteristics of the vehicle No. 76, the registered license plate, etc.

Although No. 76 may be disguised, with this information, Chen Chen can still make targeted arrangements.

In particular, the information mentioned that there were two modified cars on No. 76, which attracted Chen Chen's attention. The rear seats of these two cars were removed, which looked like later generations of cargo.

Chen Chen touched his chin and thought for a while, and finally understood what these two cars were doing. It must have been to facilitate kidnapping, so he pushed the hostages in and pressed them into the car...

After thinking it through, Chen Chen listed the characteristics and license plates of the two cars separately and prepared to hand them over to the police below.

If you find similar vehicles entering the concession, do not intercept, or track them first, or stop them and check them when they are about to go out.

This is also the case for other vehicles suspected to be No. 76. Put them in first and then go out, it will not be so easy.

Since Chen Chen was transferred to the Jing'an Temple police station, his jurisdiction was still relatively calm. However, other places were mainly in the French Concession, and terrorist activities occurred frequently.

Chen Chen had some doubts about this. Is the 76th focused on cracking down on anti-Japanese people in the French Concession?
