Espionage, codenamed Ant, moving expert

Before the boatman could react, Oda had already arrived, pointing at him and roaring:

"Get your wrecked boat away immediately and don't bother our boss."

"I paid the money, why are you kicking me out?"

Those who could operate shipping businesses in Shanghai all had some kind of background, and dared to argue their case against the Japanese pirates.

Chen Zheng slapped Oda on the shoulder:

"Get out of my way. I don't need your opinion on which boat I want to buy."

The boatmen were dumbfounded. Who would dare to treat a Japanese person like that?

Oda immediately put on a smiling face and said:

"Hey, Oda, I understand, but this ship isn't really worth 200,000 yen. I don't want you to waste your money."

"I've got plenty of money, what's wrong with spending a little?"

Oda felt a lump in his throat and almost suffocated.

The boatman saw through it:

"Sir, are you really going to buy the boat?"

"Are you kidding me, offering 200,000 if you don't buy the boat?"

"If you really want to buy it, this boat is worth 160,000, I'll sell it to you at the original price! But I have one condition: the boatmen must remain on board."

How many boatmen are there?

"Twelve. I need time to get a new boat, and each of the boatmen has a large family to support. I can't afford to wait."

Seeing that the two were about to make a deal, Oda quickly said:

"Master, this boat looks new on the outside, but we don't know what it's like inside. We can't close the deal so hastily."

"Shut up, it's none of your business how I do things."

"You're a good man. Keep all the boatmen. I'll take the 160,000. I'll give you an extra 40,000 as a reward from Master Chen. You can't refuse."

The boatman bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

The boatman sold it at the original price because he realized Chen Zheng was someone of high status and was afraid that he was just acting impulsively and would settle scores later.

Secondly, he felt that Chen Zheng didn't treat the Japanese as human beings, which was satisfying to watch. He was willing to forgo making money just to infuriate the Japanese.

I regretted it as soon as I said it!

Unexpectedly, Boss Chen immediately agreed and then gave him another 40,000 as a reward, making it 200,000 for the boat.

The boatman was overjoyed!

Rushing into the cabin, he hastily clutched his personal belongings to his chest, jumped off the boat, and said to Chen Zhengdao:

"Boss, the boat is yours now. Where do we get the money and sign a contract? I'll talk to the boatman; he can guarantee we can get on board and start work anytime."

Chen Zheng said to Zhao Kui:

"Take the boatman to the trading company, find Old Tang to get 200,000, and draw up a written agreement to settle the money and goods."

Go see the boatmen again, find a foreman, and tell them to be ready to set sail at any time.

The boatman left with Zhao Kui, and Oda stood there dumbfounded. Twenty thousand dollars were gone just like that.

Kaohsiung City, you son of a bitch, you ruined my good deed.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Go up there and take a look. I'm putting this boat in your hands now, hurry up and get going."

Chen Zheng said to Oda.

Kao Shi's face was grim, but he dared not lash out at Chen Zheng.

He realized that this Chinese man was no ordinary person; he could command Oda's complete deference.

His ship is worth at most 100,000, and the extra 10,000 he can sell is all thanks to Oda.

If you offend him now, it will be difficult to get his help in the future.

Oda went aboard the ship for a quick look, then came back down.

"Master, the ship is indeed new, requires no maintenance, and can set sail at any time."

My only worry right now is whether these sailors will be able to undertake long-distance ocean voyages.

This is his last chance. He can replace the boatman and find someone else, and still make a little extra money, though not much, but better than nothing.

Chen Zheng simply wouldn't listen to him:

"There's no need to change the boatman. I trust you; you can manage this boat well."

"I forgot to tell Zhao Kui to bring a few men to watch the boat. Go do that, and be quick, don't delay."

Oda was unwilling but helpless, and glared fiercely at Takaichi before leaving.

Chen Zheng ignored Gao Shi, jumped onto the boat, entered the cabin, and closed the door.

As Gao Shi watched his retreating figure, a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

People from China dare to deceive Japanese people and even want to sail away? No way!

After noting down the ship's number, Gao Shi ordered the ship to set sail, heading straight for the Shanghai Navigation Bureau, which was controlled by the Japanese pirates.

Chen Zheng came to the trading company from the space, called Tang Asheng over, left him 200,000 yuan, and told him to give it to the people Zhao Kui brought, and not to ask any more questions or mention it.

Tang Asheng has fully adapted to his new role as manager and is managing the business in an orderly manner.

We can also get insider information from Oda from time to time, which is faster and more accurate than when he used to search around.

Earning money and gathering intelligence can be done simultaneously.

And you don't have to worry about anything, it's so comfortable.

After Chen Zheng finished giving his instructions and entered the space, he suddenly heard the sound of a walkie-talkie. Song Ruoqing was calling:

"Ants, ants, the white dove calls, and there is a reply."

On the day they met, Chen Zheng gave Song Ruoqing a walkie-talkie with a frequency band known only to the two of them, allowing for single-line communication.

They also suggested she choose a code name so that she wouldn't be easily exposed if she were being monitored.

Song Ruoqing liked white doves, so she used "White Dove" as her code name.

"Ants received, please speak."

"There's a safe house in Team 3 of Qingping Lane. If you run into trouble, go there yourself."

The third team used to be under Lu Zhiyuan, then under Li Ya, and now under Song Ruoqing.

I recently killed a few ronin; my performance was decent.

"What's the trouble?"

"Friendly forces were attacked; five men were killed and two escaped. They are hiding there and urgently need help. It would be best if we could bring them out."

"clear."

After explaining that he understood, Chen Zheng went directly from the spatial dimension to Qingping Lane.

First, find a high vantage point, take out your binoculars, and see what's going on.

Qingping Lane and the surrounding lanes were teeming with spies.

These spies seemed to be divided into two factions, and they would always glare at each other when they met on the road.

Pedestrians walking normally will inevitably be stopped and questioned if they encounter secret agents.

Sometimes, after one group finishes questioning someone, they've only taken a few steps when another group stops them and starts questioning them again.

These people are looking for someone.

It wasn't until he saw two familiar faces through the binoculars that he understood why the spies were in two groups.

Boss Zhang and Feng Deshun sat on opposite sides of the street.

Each had a dozen or so men standing behind them, all glaring at each other.

Both Zhang and Feng had injuries on their faces; could they have been from a fight?

Since the man surnamed Zhang was here, Chen Zheng didn't intend to use the space; he wanted to enter openly and honestly.

He called Zhao Kui and told him to drive the car to the vicinity of Qingping Lane after he finished his business.

After the car arrived, Chen Zheng got in and told Zhao Kui to drive towards Qingping Lane.

As soon as he reached the intersection, people on both sides reached out to stop him. Chen Zheng rolled down his window, and before he could say anything, someone recognized him:

"It really is Master Chen's car. I told you we didn't need to stop it, but you wouldn't believe me."

Hello Mr. Chen, where are you headed?

There's a spy in Qingping Lane. Our boss, Mr. Zhang, is personally leading the arrest team. Please take a detour. We're really sorry.

Chen Zheng recognized the speaker; he was one of Boss Zhang's men who had visited the Chen residence before.

"It's you! Brothers, you've worked hard. Here, have some tea."

A wad of banknotes was handed out the window, and these people smiled more happily than if they had seen their parents.

The person at number 76 who was stopping the car was standing there, not knowing what to do.

Chen Zheng took out another wad of cash and waved it at Agent 76:

"Yes, yes, just clear the road for me if you see my car in the future."

Agent 76 was overjoyed:

"Greetings, Mr. Chen. We'll remember you and your car. Lead the way, please take care."
