Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 44: From now on, please call me a master

Hu San walked into Mr. Xue Si's private room, greeted both Mr. Xue Si and Zhang Wenwu, and then began to report the intelligence he had obtained today.

Zhang Wenwu was also shocked when he heard Hu San's intelligence. If he hadn't seen Chen Mingzhang himself and knew what kind of person he was, he would have suspected that Hu San's information was fake, mainly because it was too detailed. He was happy and proud that the Japanese had such an ally.

"Commander Zhang, this is the situation. What do you think we should do now? In addition, according to your request, I have increased the price of the house by 30%." Seeing that Zhang Wenwu did not say anything and did not know what he was thinking, Hu San could only ask himself.

Zhang Wenwu stood up, walked to Hu San, and gave him a cigarette with a smile: "Brother Hu, you have worked hard. The 30% more money you quoted for the house is your hard work fee. After the matter is completed, I, Zhang, will reward you handsomely."

Hu San was delighted. The price of that house was not cheap. He had quoted 30% more, which was a considerable amount of money, enough for an ordinary family to live on for several months.

Chief Zhang is really generous. He gave so much money to me as a reward. Although it seems a bit like borrowing flowers to pay tribute to Buddha, the idea was proposed by Chief Zhang, and it can be said that the money was earned by Chief Zhang. It seems that I will not suffer any loss if I work with Chief Zhang.

Zhang Wenwu didn't care about Hu San's inner thoughts. To him, this was indeed a bit like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. He didn't have to spend a penny and could get Hu San's full loyalty. It was a win-win situation with one stone.

Besides, although the money was not small, Zhang Wenwu knew one thing very well: if you want a horse to run fast, you have to make sure it is well fed. You know, as the ancients said, there must be brave men under a big reward. Now he needs Hu San to do this job with complete loyalty. Hu San has been in the underworld for many years, so he must give him practical benefits to make people willing to do things, so that things can be done better.

"Brother Hu, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow. I estimate that Chen Mingzhang will contact you as soon as he sees the Japanese tomorrow. You should do as we agreed before and rent the house to the Japanese at a higher price. If the Japanese have decoration work to do, you should find a way to take it over. If possible, find out the bottom line of the Japanese, but if that is impossible, don't alarm the Japanese, do you understand?" Zhang Wenwu gave instructions to Hu San. He believed that with Hu San's ability, there would be no problem in completing the previous tasks. As for finding out about the Japanese, it would depend on the situation and he would decide for himself.

Hu San immediately said that he understood. Seeing that Zhang Wenwu had nothing else to say, he said goodbye and went out, then returned to Chunfeng Tower through the secret door to wait for Chen Mingzhang to come out.

After seeing Hu San leave, Xue Siye came to Zhang Wenwu and asked, "Deputy Director Zhang, what's going on with these Japanese? Are they really trying to start a war with us?"

Zhang Wenwu thought of the arduous war of resistance that would begin next year, and he could not help but become gloomy that night. He nodded fiercely and said, "The little Japanese will never give up their desire to destroy us. Sooner or later, we will have a war with the little Japanese."

"Then, Deputy Director Zhang, do you think we can win?" Fourth Master Xue couldn't help but ask worriedly. He was an old man, and as far as he could remember, China had never won a war with a foreign country.

"Don't worry, Fourth Master Xue. We Chinese will definitely win the battle against the Japanese. But it may take a longer time. After all, our national strength is too weak. If a war breaks out, you should run to the west. I think Shancheng is a good choice. You can buy some property there in advance and settle down there when the time comes." Zhang Wenwu said to Fourth Master Xue affirmatively. At the same time, he also pointed out a safe route for Fourth Master Xue in advance, which could be regarded as a reward for his help.

After hearing what Zhang Wenwu said, Fourth Master Xue smoked silently. He believed Zhang Wenwu's words. After all, Zhang Wenwu was in the army, and he was in the Central Army, so he had a lot of information. He was very kind to him by telling him what he was talking about today. He even told him where he would be relatively safe in the future. It seemed that he really had to start preparing to transfer his business.

Zhang Wenwu said goodbye to Mr. Xue Si's private room and went to the luxurious bedroom on the third floor. He would rest in the Hongyun Casino tonight, mainly for better work tomorrow, and definitely not for pleasure.

The next morning, after getting up, Zhang Wenwu walked out of the Hongyun Casino. He did not return to the division headquarters, but went to the bustling commercial street. He first walked into a camera store and spent a lot of money to buy the best camera and five rolls of film. Then he walked into a men's clothing store, bought a very ordinary set of casual clothes and put them on. He put on a fake beard he had just bought from another store, and put on the glasses frame he got from Mr. Xue Si, with the lenses removed. Then he put his military uniform and camera in a bag and held them in his hand.

He looked at his watch and it was already past noon, so he found a restaurant opposite the house to be rented, had lunch and took a look at the surroundings. Today he wanted to observe these Japanese spies in person and see what they looked like.

Since the house is located in a busy area, there are many shops around it. After finishing his meal, Zhang Wenwu found a cafe diagonally opposite the house, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat in a seat set up outside the shop, waiting for Hu San and the group of Japanese to come.

The tracking personnel of Liu Qiqian's intelligence team are now very confused. The person who was tracking Zhang Wenwu just now saw Zhang Wenwu walk into a clothing store, so he took over the shift with his companion who rushed over. As a result, the new companion waited for two hours and did not see Zhang Wenwu come out. After realizing something was wrong, he pretended to be a customer and went around the store but did not find any trace of Zhang Wenwu. Now he lost his target and was anxiously looking for Zhang Wenwu all over the street.

Zhang Wenwu had no idea that someone was looking for him on the street. Even if he knew, he would not greet them. Just now, he saw two cars parked in front of the house. Hu San, whom he knew, got out of the first car, followed by Chen Mingzhang, the man with hair wax, who was nodding and bowing as he introduced something to the other middle-aged man who got out.

Three men in shirts got out of the car behind. They looked like bodyguards. They were very vigilant and kept observing the pedestrians and various situations around them. The drivers of the two cars did not get out, but they seemed to be Japanese as they were also observing the situation around them.

Zhang Wenwu subconsciously touched the pistol on his waist. It was an Alcatel 1911 pistol, which should be enough to provide protection for himself. No, you little Japanese, why are you so nervous about looking at a house? I just came to take a close look at you "animals". You can't find a handsome guy like me. Ha, I made myself nervous.

Hu San was now filled with shock. The Japanese man that Chen Mingzhang, that loser, was accompanying should not be an ordinary person. The way this Japanese man looked at people was like magic, as if he could see through people at a glance. He could only follow Chen Mingzhang very carefully, and said nothing unless he was asked a question.

"Mr. Chen, you did a great job this time. I am very satisfied with the location of this house." The leading Japanese patted Chen Mingzhang's shoulder and praised him with satisfaction.

"Mr. Ono is so polite. My father and I feel honored to be able to help our Japanese friends. As long as Mr. Ono is satisfied, that's all." Chen Mingzhang said flatteringly with his head lowered.

Hu San lowered his head, feeling very unhappy with Chen Mingzhang, the loser. Damn it, this kid looks like a dog slave, it makes people angry just by looking at him, he really makes his ancestors lose face.

"Ms. Ono, this is the lease agreement for the house. Please take a look." Chen Mingzhang handed the lease agreement to Ono, who simply glanced at it and returned it to Chen Mingzhang.

"No problem, Mr. Chen, just come and sign, and the rent will be paid to you soon." Ono said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you for your trust, Ono-kun. I will settle the lease right away." Chen Mingzhang was delighted. The rent on this contract was double the original rent. He and Hu would split the money, which would be enough for him to treat his guests to Chunfeng Tower a few more times.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, find someone to repaint the house, and then buy some tables, chairs and benches. Kojima-kun will tell you the specific quantity, and then you just need to follow Kojima-kun's orders." After giving some instructions, Ono got into the car and drove away.

The Japanese named Kojima who stayed behind first took out some money from his suitcase and gave it to Chen Mingzhang, then gave Chen Mingzhang a document full of things to pay attention to and the quantity of items to be purchased. He also told Chen Mingzhang that he would stay in Room 302 of Zhenjiang Hotel and that he could come to him anytime if he had any problems. After saying this, he left without looking back.

Chen Mingzhang bowed all the way as he escorted Xiaodao out of the door. Hu San thought that Chen Mingzhang was so used to being a dog that he couldn't stand up straight.

Zhang Wenwu saw that the Japanese had left one after another, so he closed the notebook in his hand. He had just recorded all the information he had seen in the notebook. After returning, he would take a closer look at the information to see if he could get any useful information. At the same time, he also brought the information to Liao Qian.

Of course, the most valuable thing is the photos of everyone he took with his camera. These can be given to Liao Qian, who will be asked to develop them to see if there is any information.

After returning to Hongyun Casino, Zhang Wenwu changed back into his military uniform in the room and left his casual clothes in Hongyun Casino so that he could change clothes at any time. He then returned to the division headquarters with his camera's film and notebook.

As soon as he entered Liao Qian's office, Zhang Wenwu said arrogantly: "Deputy Director Liao, please call me master from now on."
