Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 24 Taking Over
At 12:01 noon, Lu Bowen appeared at the door of the cafe.

The most difficult thing at the moment is how to complete the connection. Gu Yansheng and Lu Bowen know about this.

The problem Lu Bowen faces now is that even if he knows that he is being followed, he has no choice but to be followed and he must not try to be clever and get rid of No. 67.

For an ordinary person, revealing that he has some knowledge of counter-reconnaissance is no different from directly telling No. 67 that he is an agent.

If he wants to completely clear himself of suspicion, he can only be followed and use a long period of calmness to tell No. 67 that he is just an ordinary person.

But he had been thinking about how to connect the joint for two days but couldn't come up with a 100% safe method. The tail was really annoying.

For now, one can only hope that Gu Yansheng’s news can give him some surprises.

Lu Bowen finished a cup of coffee outside and went to the bathroom as agreed. The moment he entered, his eyes quickly swept across the door.

Sure enough, there was something on the ground, an inconspicuous piece of paper.

If he wasn't reminded, he would have thought it was just a small piece of paper. No fool would pick up paper from the toilet.

But now, he picked it up immediately, and in a split second, he glanced at the words on it, then threw it into his mouth without thinking, and swallowed it deeply, fearing that there would be any movement at the door.

Fortunately not.

Swallowed in vain.
"shush"

He unbuckled his belt and urinated in a relaxed manner. It was none of his business if someone came in, and it didn't matter whether they were people following him. Lu Bowen had been holding his urine for the whole morning, so he urinated a particularly large amount just to let anyone who wanted to see it. He just came to pee, and the water flowed majestically and powerfully.

After peeing, he didn't even look at the person who just came in next to him. He went out on his own and turned to the rickshaw. When the rickshaw came, he casually put his left hand on his waist and waited, then got on the rickshaw and returned home.

He Yun was already waiting, she knew that today was the day Lu Bowen and Gu Yansheng would contact each other.

"How about it?"

Lu Bowen put down his clothes and said, "He didn't show up. It's confirmed that he was being followed. It should be the same for you, but there is a note. He asked me to give him the connection method and he will be responsible for the connection. After he finishes the connection, he will give us what he got."

He Yun nodded and said seriously, "This is indeed the safest way. How do you give it to me? Can you go again tomorrow?"

"I'm going, but it's actually you who's going to be there tomorrow. Didn't he agree with you to go to the Municipal Council tomorrow morning to inquire about transferring your citizenship to France? He should have thought of it by then and changed someone midway. He asked you to take the message. The paper didn't specify the specific handover method, but he should come out to find you."

"So that's how it is. Okay, then I'll get ready. I'll figure out what to wear tomorrow and where to hide the things. You write it down first, and then I'll test it out. What if there's only one chance for us to pass by? How should I give it to him?"

When Gu Yansheng saw the signal from Lu Bowen putting his left hand on his waist, he knew that he had seen the note. It was an inconspicuous agreement, but it had a great impact.

This means that Lu Bowen agreed to transfer the contact task to him.

The deeper meaning is that the moment Lu Bowen demonstrated this action, it meant that Lu Bowen's contact mission was over. From then on, even if he was being followed by No. 67's people, there would be no risk of being exposed.

Lu Bowen is a pure businessman.

This is very important, which means that now Gu Yansheng only needs to take care of himself and has no worries.

As long as he gets the specific contact method from He Yun tomorrow, he can arrange and decide the rest of the matters himself.

Pay the bill and leave.

Back at the law firm, Wen Yan told him that the newspaper's case had been transferred and would be handled by Wolf's team.

"According to the process, the newspaper should have received the news as early as tomorrow. Is it possible that the newspaper will publish another article to criticize us as well?" Wen Yan smiled.

"Whatever. The pen is on him. If the scolding is light, it won't hurt. If the scolding is harsh, I will sue him again."

Gu Yansheng didn't care about such trivial matters.

I took some time out of my busy schedule to go to the law firm's archives and look through some of the cases they had handled in the past, especially those handled at the partner level.

These files should not be underestimated; they are a treasure. Not only do they record the various ideas and methods of the partners, but given the level of the partners, those who can employ them must be wealthy or noble. They more or less contain some of the intrigues and business secrets of various forces. This is also what Gu Yansheng values ​​most.

Just treat it as a novel called The Dirty Past of the Upper Class.

Seeing it was two o'clock, Wen Yan reminded him that it was almost time to go to the appointment.

"Happy times are always so short, so let's go."

Gu Yansheng put the file down reluctantly. It was quite interesting, like a wealthy family fighting over their inheritance. The younger sister slept with the husband, and he was furious. The relationship ended in court, and in the end, it was discovered that the younger sister had slept with their son as well, and the two of them started fighting in court.
"Mr. Gu, aren't you taking your cash box?" Wen Yan asked this question when he saw Gu Yansheng leaving empty-handed.

"Bring whatever money you want, there's no rush."

Hongyun Restaurant is opposite the train station.

The railway station and Hongyun Restaurant both belong to the SH urban area, which means they are outside the concession and are under the jurisdiction of the Japanese.

Without their luxurious cars, the taxi drivers were inevitably stopped by Japanese military police for inspection. However, since both of them had complete documents and legitimate jobs, they were not troubled too much by the Japanese.

When you step into the urban area of ​​SH, the first thing you see is Shanghai Railway Station, the busiest railway station in Shanghai.

There were Japanese military police standing guard at the entrance of the train station, and Japanese soldiers patrolling the road.

Japan's general direction now is to restore Shanghai's economic prosperity, so the living environment of ordinary residents is much better than the period immediately after the war.

As far as I can see, there is at least no obvious bullying or market domination.

"That's Hongyun Restaurant." Wen Yan pointed in the direction.

"Let's go then."

The two sat down to drink tea on the second floor of the teahouse. About ten minutes later, two black cars drove up from downstairs.

"Here he is! That's the little leader of the Green Gang I mentioned. You saw him nodding and bowing to the leader. I guess that man is Wu Sibao."

Gu Yansheng leaned forward and said, "It is said that appearance reflects the heart." This Wu Sibao really looks like a traitor.

He was quite fat, wearing a suit and tie, with a face full of flesh, and most importantly, he had the popular traitor hairstyle on his head.

The name "Traitor Head" was given by Gu Yansheng himself. I don't know where this aesthetic came from. His temples are shaved, and his hair is slicked back close to his scalp, with a middle part.

But it doesn't matter what he looks like, this guy has power.

Knowing that the person coming was Wu Sibao, Gu Yansheng wanted more.

Originally he was just planning to get a connection at No. 67. Such an expensive car would definitely not be affordable for a small guy. He judged that the person who stole his car was at least a small boss. But now, to his surprise, it was a big boss who came out.

Whether it is the power of the Green Gang in Wu Sibao's hands, or the convenience he can get by doing things for the Japanese.

Even Gu Yansheng coveted it.

Not to mention that he has no power now, even if he gets a job in a government department in the future, this most basic force in Wu Sibao's hands will be of great use.

Haven’t you seen that when officials and businessmen collude, there is always a group of younger brothers under these businessmen who do dirty things?
This is the truth.

If you want to continue fighting in Shanghai, force is much more reliable than money.

This vehicle theft is a good example. After spending so much effort planning a case, not even one car is worth anything.

However, a car worth more than $10,000 was gone without a trace, and they left without even saying goodbye.
