The people sent by Zheng Ke quickly contacted the Anqing Gang, and the process was very smooth.

In a luxurious mansion, the room was very quiet and the atmosphere was a little stagnant. Several people in long gowns sat together with subtle expressions on their faces. Leading the group was an old man with a long white beard, who was holding a dragon-headed cane in his hand.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Hei Ye was the first to speak: "What does Mr. Pan think about this?"

The old man at the top folded his hands on his dragon-headed cane, his face was covered with traces of time, but his eyes were like ancient wells, deep and calm, even though what the Four Elephants Party had just sent was enough to change the current political landscape of Kyushu.

As Hei Ye finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on the old man.

Old Pan spoke slowly, but he was not talking about what they were studying. He looked out the window and said, "Did you hear the cheers when Fengjin stationed troops in Shanghai and regained ownership of Shanghai?"

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent and everyone looked at each other. How could they not have heard it?

The people of Shanghai had not been so happy for a long time, and the cheers of joy continued until late at night.

Mr. Pan smiled, with a peaceful expression on his face: "I heard it too, it's really nice."

Hei Ye and others fell silent. Old Pan said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

Western-style villa.

Yun Chu lay on the bed again, nestled in Huo Zhan's arms: "Zheng Ke is doing these little tricks, aren't you going to take action?"

Zheng Ke and his men are being watched by the Huo family army, and any movement will be discovered. How could they just sit back and watch them contact the Anqing Gang?

Huo Zhan said softly with a casual tone at the end of his voice: "The existence of the Anqing Gang itself is a crisis for Shanghai. If they want to join forces with Zheng Ke to attack the Huo family army, it is a good opportunity to eliminate them. It is not a bad thing."

Yun Chu was slightly surprised again. He didn't expect Huo Zhan to have such an idea.

The disciples of the Anqing Gang have integrated into almost every industry. If they really take action, it will cause turmoil in the city of Shanghai.

Huo Zhan lowered his eyes to look at Yun Chuyou's almond-shaped eyes, and his voice was tinged with laughter: "But, I guess they won't agree."

"Why?" Yun Chu sat up again, somewhat puzzled.

Huo Zhan reached out and touched her face, then draped the quilt over her, revealing her slender waist. He spoke in a low, pleasant voice, "Before coming to Shanghai, I investigated all the high-ranking officials in Japan and the heads of the various branches of the Anqing Gang."

"Shanghai is the Anqing Gang's home base, and the person with the most say is Pan Weisheng. He was a patrolman in the French Concession in his early years, and later developed gang power and became the biggest leader of the Anqing Gang."

"Pan Weisheng is very smart, knows how to behave, is good at making money, and knows how to spend it. Although he is old, he is very good at handling the relationships between the various forces under his command. He is a person who should not be underestimated."

"However, according to my investigation, this person may have been full of evil deeds when he was young. As he got older, he claimed to be a patriot. He often funded the underground party and maintained friendly relations with the Four Elephants Party. He was actually very hostile to the Japanese."

"After the fall of Shanghai, Pan Weisheng went into seclusion and rarely appeared in public."

Huo Zhan's voice has a lazy tone and sounds unserious, but it also has a magnetic deterrent power.

Yun Chu was thoughtful again: "You mean, the leader of the Anqing Gang is a patriotic conservative and will not cooperate with Zheng Ke for temporary benefits. He doesn't care who is in power in Shanghai, as long as he is not from Japan?"

Huo Zhan shrugged and chuckled, "That should be the case."

Yun Chu understood again and stopped asking about the Anqing Gang. Instead, he asked, "What about Zheng Ke? Are you really not going to do anything about him? Do you want him to return to Jiangcheng alive?"

Huo Zhan said: "Zheng Ke is just a small figure. If we can use a small figure to arouse Jiang Ruiqing's fear of Feng Jin, why not do it? The offensive of the Japanese will inevitably be bolder and bolder, and we should not waste time in Jiangcheng."

Yun Chu glanced at him again, thinking that this guy had already made a plan, so he stopped worrying and lay back down.

She closed her eyes and said dazedly, "Just do whatever you want. I'm really tired lately."

She had not had a good rest these past two days because she had to deal with the clamoring Japanese troops. Sometimes she was even eating apples at the sniper point. You can imagine how tight the time was. She is now showing signs of developing into a pig, able to eat and sleep.

Hearing this, Huo Zhan frowned and said with some worry: "Send a doctor to take a look?"

Yun Chu turned over again, with his back to Huo Zhan, and muttered, "I am a doctor myself."

Huo Zhan sighed softly and reached out to carefully hold her waist.

Two more days passed.

Zheng Ke has not been able to get any feedback from the Anqing Gang, and his face looks a little haggard.

He threw the cup in his hand to the ground fiercely, his eyes fierce: "This Anqing Gang really has someone backing them up. They are so bold that these lowly people dare to go against the Four Elephants Party! Damn it!"

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. The Anqing Gang’s failure to give any feedback is actually a response.

They refused to cooperate with the Four Elephants Party and joined forces to attack the Huo family army.

The adjutant stood aside in silence, not daring to say anything.

They are now trapped in Shanghai, and the Huo family army is guarding them very closely, treating them like prisoners.

Zheng Ke took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest: "According to the time, when will the warship arrive?"

The adjutant hurriedly said: "When we set out, the warship had already taken the water route, probably in the past two days."

Zheng Ke nodded, and finally felt a little comforted. As long as the warships of the Four Elephants Party arrived, Huo Zhan would definitely come to invite him in person. Otherwise, the navy of the Four Elephants Party would not obey the orders of the Huo family army, and everything would be in vain!

However, even so, he still felt a fire burning in his chest.

He thought that once he entered Shanghai, Huo Zhan would have the final say on everything if he needed help. However, he was severely slapped in the face as soon as he entered the door. His men suffered heavy casualties after his show of power, and now he was trapped here like a prisoner.

He was waiting, waiting for Huo Zhan to come and invite him personally, to beg him!

Zheng Ke's idea soon received feedback. The next morning, Huo Zhan came to his house in person.

The adjutant was also overjoyed: "Commander! Just as you expected, it must be our Four Elephants Party's warships that have arrived in Shanghai!"

Zheng Ke laughed so loudly that his laughter could almost penetrate the corridor, and all the depression in his chest seemed to be swept away.

"Commander, Marshal Huo is still waiting. Do you want to invite him in?" asked the adjutant.

"What invitation do you want? Wait a minute, put the food on the table first! No rush." ​​Zheng Ke pulled up the belt around his waist and sat down at the table. His face was ruddy and he looked very proud and satisfied.

The adjutant moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he was afraid of disturbing his interest, so he didn't dare to open his mouth.

However, just as he was about to order the meal to be prepared, he heard a series of heavy footsteps outside.

"Master Zheng is in such a good mood that he left me outside to have breakfast? Or is it that the adjutant is deaf and didn't tell Master Zheng?"
