Chapter 377 Master Jin Makes His Appearance

After meeting Sha Xun, who loved to eat Dafeng, Ye Shaohong left the secluded courtyard.

Li Yunlong followed him the whole time.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the Huangpu River and found a quiet, empty bench in front of a bookstore run by Japanese people.

Ye Shaohong crossed his legs, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and casually handed one to Li Yunlong.

After lighting it, exhale a long puff of smoke.

"Yunlong".

"The time is almost right. Now I will issue you the second phase of the mission." As he spoke, Ye Shaohong's gaze was fixed on the distance, and his expression and demeanor were just like that of a noble young master who was out for a leisurely stroll.

Li Yunlong's attire was more casual.

Wearing a black silk short-sleeved outfit, paired with his long, tousled hair that reached almost to his ears, and an oddly matched white Western-style top hat, he looked exactly like a street thug.

In order to cooperate with Ye Shaohong's acting and to better fit the current situation, Li Yunlong did not respond respectfully.

Instead, he nodded casually.

Of course.

That's only on the surface.

Now that no one was around, Li Yunlong still responded respectfully.

"Please give your orders, Captain."

"Do you know why I deliberately stayed two extra days before collecting the ransom from Johnson Saxon?" "Because I needed to use those two days to set up some more schemes."

Ye Shaohong raised his hand to tap off the ashes of his cigarette. As he saw a Japanese man in a bathrobe emerge from the bookstore ahead, Ye Shaohong abruptly stopped speaking.

Ye Shaohong only resumed the conversation after the Japanese man had walked away.

"There are too many people around here, so I'll just get straight to the mission."

"There are still two days left. I need you to immediately arrange for people to investigate the residence of the captain of the Japanese Concession Military Police."

"Find out his family situation."

"I want you to tell me the information you have found by tomorrow evening."

"I also require that you personally go and investigate the situation. Yunlong, you are the Bandit King of the North, I believe you have the means and strength to do so!"

After briefly conveying the mission, Ye Shaohong stood up, threw away his cigarette butt, and turned to walk towards the street corner.

Watching Ye Shaohong's departing figure, Li Yunlong did not rush to take action.

Instead, he sat there, frowning and deep in thought.

This mission is very special.

From the start of the operation, Ye Shaohong did not communicate the entire plan to him, but rather communicated some information as the plan progressed.

As a result, Li Yunlong only had a superficial understanding of Ye Shaohong's overall plan.

He had tried to deduce and speculate about Ye Shaohong's plans.

Li Yunlong had many ideas, but he still couldn't figure out what Ye Shaohong was thinking.

The task that Ye Shaohong had just assigned left Li Yunlong completely bewildered. He couldn't understand how this kidnapping operation was related to the captain of the Japanese Concession's military police.

Could there be some other secret behind this? Unable to figure it out, Li Yunlong stopped thinking about it. From the moment he started following Ye Shaohong, although it had only been half a year, he had already deeply impressed him.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Li Yunlong got up and left.

……

into the night.

Ye Shaohong returned to the French Concession.

He then met with Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng to inquire about the whereabouts of several people involved in the kidnapping operation.

After receiving news that there were no further changes, Ye Shaohong turned around and looked at Chi Tiecheng.

How are things going on your end?

Ye Shaohong wasn't asking about Chi Tiecheng's opinion on the operation, but rather about the follow-up arrangements.

"Everything is ready." "I've selected three good marksmen from my team and they're currently searching for suitable sniping positions and escape routes."

"At the latest, it should be ready by tomorrow night."

Chi Tiecheng's face remained cold and expressionless. He opened his mouth to respond, but a cold glint flashed at the corner of his eye.

"Ah."

"Iron City, this mission is crucial and very important."

"I hope you will take this seriously and not be negligent or careless in the slightest."

"If this mission is completed well, I will personally send a telegram to the Nanjing headquarters to commend you in front of the director."

Ye Shaohong raised his hand and tapped the table, making a statement with an extremely solemn expression.

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Zhengguo's face immediately showed envy, and his gaze toward Ye Shaohong also carried a hint of anticipation.

Meanwhile, Chi Tiecheng's cold and ruthless face instantly broke into a bright smile.

"Don't worry, Captain. I'm willing to stake my life on this mission."

"There will definitely be no surprises."

Ye Shaohong was satisfied with Chi Tiecheng's response. He stood up, patted Chi Tiecheng on the shoulder, and encouraged Xiao Zhengguo a few more times before getting up and leaving the restaurant they owned.

Standing on the bustling street, Ye Shaohong looked up at the sky. Seeing that it was almost evening, he turned around and went to the Tongfuli Triangle Area.

"It's the 16th."

"Tomorrow is the day Chiang Kai-shek announces the start of the nationwide war of resistance against Japan."

"I wonder if the plan for the Second Battle of Shanghai has been finalized yet?" "It should be soon."

"This Eastern metropolis, the largest city in Asia in this era, will inevitably be engulfed in endless war, and 300,000 patriotic Chinese men will be buried here."

"Time waits for us!"

As he muttered to himself, Ye Shaohong arrived at the Tongfuli Triangle. Just as he was about to head to the vegetable market management office to meet Xu Tian, ​​he spotted two familiar figures at the entrance of the alley.

To be precise, there were two figures, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.

"Master Jin, King Kong!"

"How did those two end up here?"

"The red-themed storyline hasn't officially started yet, has it?"

Startled and suspicious, Ye Shaohong stopped in his tracks. After a moment's thought, he turned and followed. A short while later...

Ye Shaohong followed behind Master Jin and King Kong to the front of a shop.

Looking at the sign hanging at the entrance of the shop.

Looking at that familiar scene.

Ye Shaohong's eyebrows immediately twitched, and a cold glint flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Okay."

“I didn’t go looking for trouble with you, but you cunning scoundrel, you’ve come to harass my woman.”

"Master Jin, are you tired of living?"

That's right.

Jin Ye and Jingang were standing right in front of the rouge shop owned by Yu Manli.

Just as Ye Shaohong let out a cold groan, Master Jin had finished confirming the shop's location and signboard. He then turned to look at his tall and burly henchman, King Kong.

"King Kong, do you see that?"

"This is our target for today. If we smash up this shop, Miss will be willing to pay us one hundred silver dollars!"

"That's a hundred silver dollars! How much food could that buy? How much wine could that buy?"

"We can also go to the Cinque Terre to have some fun and support Miss Liu Rusi. Your older brother might even have a chance to get close to Miss Liu Rusi..."
