Espionage, codenamed Ant, moving expert

At the entrance of Chen's mansion, Oda handed over his visiting card, requesting an audience with Boss Chen.

The gatekeeper saw him, didn't even lift his eyelids, didn't take his name card, and coldly said:

"The boss is not here, so we cannot serve you."

Oda awkwardly took back the name card. Today, with Section Chief Nantian accompanying him, he had hoped to use the name card to show off and make his presence known to Chen Zheng, but he didn't expect to fail even at the gatekeeper's hurdle.

Standing behind Oda, Nantian, seeing the rude attitude of the Chinese, couldn't help but angrily say:

"Baka! I am Nantian. Let Chen Zheng come out and see me."

Someone else, seeing Nan Tian's attitude, might have backed down, but the Military Intelligence Bureau operatives wouldn't.

"Fuck you! I told you the boss isn't here. What are you acting all high and mighty for? Believe me or not, I'll throw you out."

Nan Tian was furious. In Shanghai, no Chinese person had ever dared to speak to him like that.

"Damn it! I'm Chief Nantian from the Special Higher Police. If you don't see Chen Zheng in five minutes, don't blame me for being impolite."

Hearing that he was from the Special Higher Police, the team leader winked at his team members.

The team members understood, turned around and went back into the house to call for help, while also contacting Zhao Kui to report the matter.

Seeing that the other party had given in, Nan Tian brazenly tried to barge in.

I'm here today to seek cooperation. I just need to reveal my identity, intimidate the other party, and obtain greater benefits. There's no need to turn hostile.

After taking only two steps, my path was blocked.

"Who let you in? Wait outside."

Nantian lost his temper again:

"Baka! If you don't move aside, you're dead!"

As he was about to draw his gun, footsteps sounded behind him, and more than a dozen people rushed up, surrounding Nantian and Oda.

More than a dozen axes were held to the necks of the two men. One of them said:

"Two Japanese dare to cause trouble at the Chen residence? They're asking for it!"

The speaker was Yang Lou.

After resting at home for a few days and settling everything in, I brought my brothers here today to meet Master Chen and hear his arrangements.

Upon discovering the Japanese causing trouble, they immediately surrounded them.

With just a word from Master Chen, these two Japanese men could be drowned in the river without anyone noticing, and no one could trace it back to Master Chen.

Nan Tianheng was used to a life of danger and was not afraid at all. He drew his gun and pointed it at Yang Lou.

"Chinese national, I am Nan Tian, ​​the head of the Special Higher Police Section. If you don't want to die, kneel down and kowtow, and I will spare your life."

Yang Lou not only did not retreat, but instead stepped forward, pressing his forehead against Nan Tian's gun muzzle:

"Brothers, this has nothing to do with Master Chen. If the Japanese dare to fire, chop them up immediately. I'm going to report to the King of Hell, and you'll all be on the run."

A dozen people said in unison:

"Don't worry, brother, the brothers will definitely not implicate Master Chen."

As they were speaking, the action team rushed up and pointed guns at Nanta and Oda.

The team leader said:

"We appreciate your kindness, brothers, but these two bastards are here to see Boss Chen. It's none of your business. If anyone's going to kill them, it's me. It's not your place to do it."

Oda trembled, his legs clamped together, afraid he might wet his pants, and timidly called out:

"I work for Boss Chen, you can't kill me."

Nantian kicked him in anger and cursed:

"Coward! You've utterly disgraced the empire!"

Oda lunged forward, crawled out of the encirclement, and left Nanta alone.

Nobody paid any attention to such a weakling; let him crawl out if he wanted.

Yang Lou's head was still pressed against Nan Tian's gun muzzle:

"Brother, I'm a sworn brother of Master Chen, whom he accepted through an invitation. It's only right that I die for him. My life for one Japanese pirate's life is not a loss..."

"Who says it's not a loss? I took you in as a wife, not so you could go looking for trouble!"

As the sound came, Chen Zheng appeared, went up and kicked Yang Lou first, then kicked each of the action team members one by one.

Those who came with Yang Lou all looked on with envy. When Chen Zheng saw this, he went over and kicked each of them, being fair and impartial, showing no favoritism.

Nantian held the gun in his hand, but it wasn't right to put it back, nor was it right to keep it raised.

After finishing dealing with his men, Chen Zheng seemed to only then notice him:

"Hey, this guy's still here. Oda, aren't you going to introduce him? Am I supposed to guess?"

Oda shuddered, quickly stepped forward, and grabbed Nanta's hand holding the gun, saying:

"Section Chief Nantian, this is Boss Chen. Let's talk this out and put down your gun."

"Boss Chen, this is Section Chief Nantian from the Special Higher Police. He wanted to discuss business with you, but a small misunderstanding occurred."

Nantian, taking advantage of the situation, put away his gun.

Zhao Kui, who was not far away, gripped his gun even tighter!

If Nantian had dared to point a gun at Chen Zheng just now, Zhao Kui would have smashed his head open immediately.

Now that I've heard this guy is the head of the Special Higher Police, I'm thinking of either killing him outright.

There was no one else around the mansion; killing two Japanese pirates would go unnoticed.

But since the leader hadn't given any orders, Zhao Kui didn't dare to act on his own and could only remain vigilant, ready to make a move at any time.

Nantian retrieved his gun and said to Chen Zhengdao:

"Boss Chen, your people are very unfriendly."

"That depends on who you're dealing with. We welcome friends with fine wine, but we confront enemies with hunting rifles. Nantian, are you a friend or an enemy?"

Nantian hadn't expected Chen Zheng to say that, and was about to get angry, but remembering what the temple had said, she held back her anger and said:

"Of course I'm a friend, Boss Chen. Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Chen Zheng guessed Nan Tian's purpose and, not wanting him to dirty his home, said:

"I need to go to Miki Trading Company; I need to talk to them there."

Nan Tian was delighted to hear this:

"Great, let's go to Miki Trading Company together."

Chen Zheng nodded and said to Yang Lou:

"You come with me, everyone else go home first."

Yang Lou bowed to Chen Zheng:

"Yes, Master Chen, brothers, go back and wait for my news."

Amidst the chaotic shouts of Chen Ye, Nantian arrived at his car. Oda tried to approach him but was kicked aside by Nantian.

Oda ran to Chen Zheng's car again and reached out to open the door, but Zhao Kui stuck out his pistol and pointed it at him.

Oda quickly begged for mercy:

"Don't shoot. I'm not getting in the car. I'll just say a few words to Boss Chen and then leave."

Chen Zheng patted Zhao Kui's seat back in the car, and Zhao Kui stepped on the gas, and the car shot off.

Oda was so anxious that he jumped up and down, reaching out to flag down a rickshaw to follow them.

Yang Lou's men hadn't left yet, glaring fiercely at the coachman.

No rickshaw dared to take Oda; they all went around him.

Oda is extremely anxious.

The fact that Section Chief Nantian personally came to the boss's door to discuss business means it's definitely not a small business.

As a shareholder of Miki Trading Company, I naturally have to get involved, at least to oversee things.

With business expanding, it's time to put the purchase of ironclad cargo ships on the agenda!

Once the fleet is assembled, Oda doesn't care about the small share of Miki Trading Company at all.

This trip by wooden boat will earn at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan.

If only we had one... no, two... alas, ten ironclad cargo ships.

One round trip can earn you hundreds of thousands!

Oda doesn't get greedy... cough cough... doesn't make much money. He gives Boss Chen a few hundred thousand, and keeps eighty or nine hundred thousand for himself.

After making a dozen or so round trips, you'll have so much money that it won't even fit in the ship's cabin, and then you can take your wife back to Japan to retire.

I'll buy a house in Tokyo and hire a dozen or so doormen and twenty or so maids to serve me.

It's not as comfortable as those aristocratic gentlemen.

The most important thing now is to get to the business and get involved.

Today was a nightmare; I couldn't hail a single rickshaw, and running around on my own was exhausting.

When buying an ironclad cargo ship, be sure to get a car to drive it, preferably an American one!
