Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 425 The True Colors Are Revealed

That night, the people of Shanghai did not sleep well.

The continuous explosions and gunfire have made it difficult for people to sleep.

As night deepened, law enforcement teams from various concessions took to the streets, armed with guns, and began searching the area.

Subsequently.

When news spread that Zhang Xiaolin had been attacked and seriously injured and hospitalized, the underworld forces in Shanghai also began to stir.

Huang Jinrong, Du Asheng, and Zhang Xiaolin were all three of the three tycoons in Shanghai.

They appear to be a single entity.

They were also in the Green Gang. In reality, that was just an outsider's perception, or rather, it was an illusion deliberately created by the three of them.

How could there be brotherhood in the underworld?

Zhang Xiaolin was stabbed and seriously injured, and hospitalized. Huang Jinrong and Du Asheng, because of their identities, still had some reservations.

They will not openly make things difficult for Zhang Xiaolin's followers, nor will they actively encroach on Zhang Xiaolin's territory.

However, the disciples and followers of those two were different.

Those forces in Shanghai that did not belong to the Green Gang acted with even greater impunity.

That night.

Gangs in Shanghai then began a bloody and chaotic uprising.

This unrest was initially confined to the British concession's sphere of influence, but as more people and forces joined, the fighting gradually expanded to other concessions.

Finally, after midnight, it spread throughout Shanghai. Strangely enough.

After the gangs got involved in the chaotic fighting, the kidnapping group that had stirred up a storm in Shanghai during the day suddenly quieted down.

There were no more explosions or assassinations that night.

This finally put the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in Shanghai at ease a little.

But they overlooked one thing.

The turmoil at the top has been quelled, but the unrest in the whole society has brought it to the brink of collapse.

Completely unleashed, the gangsters, no longer restrained by the law enforcement forces of the foreign concessions, turned Shanghai into their playground that night.

Assassinations, brawls, gang fights, disrupting venues, seizing territory...

Before dawn, more than a dozen well-known gangsters from the two major factions of Shanghai, the Green Gang and the Red Gang, had already been killed or wounded.

Of course. For every death, there is a rise.

The Little Knife Society and the Axe Gang, which had been driven away by Zhang Xiaolin and were almost forced to shut down, regained their footing during this night of turmoil.

They took a big bite out of Zhang Xiaolin's territory.

Meanwhile, some of Zhang Xiaolin's students also began to show their talent.

Zhuang Yifan, the owner of the Xianlesi Ballroom, was well-prepared. After receiving news that Zhang Xiaolin had been stabbed and seriously injured and hospitalized, he immediately mobilized his men to expand into the surrounding areas.

In just one night, Zhuang Yifan's territory expanded by three streets.

It was clear that he was about to become the new king.

This chaotic situation has plunged the people of Shanghai into even deeper fear.

That night, they were often awakened from their sleep by the sounds of fighting and shouting. Although the gangsters in Shanghai adhered to the underground order, they tried their best not to use gunpowder and firearms when they were fighting.

But it also frightened them quite a bit.

As dawn broke the next day and the sun gradually rose on the horizon, the people of Shanghai opened their doors and windows and looked out.

The corpses of gangsters lay strewn across almost every street.

The strong smell of blood lingered for a long time.

Seeing this situation, the rulers of the various concessions also realized the seriousness of the situation.

They held an emergency meeting.

We are preparing to deploy personnel to clean up the chaos on the streets and crack down on those gangsters.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, another loud explosion was heard at the entrance of the French Concession's Municipal Council.

This time, the person who died was the wife of the French Concession Municipal Councilor.

And her lover.

It's unclear what Xiao Zhengguo was thinking, but when he sent people to kidnap the wife of the director of the Municipal Council, he happened to witness her having an affair.

Then his men tied up the woman and her lover together.

This morning, they even stripped them both naked, tied them together with rope, and placed a bundle of hand grenades right in the center of their bodies.

As they pushed the two people out of the car, they pulled the fuse.

"Boom!"

After the explosion, the two lovers were reduced to pieces and died at the entrance of the French Concession Municipal Council.

When word got out, the high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants of the various concessions fell silent. While carefully hiding their tracks and trying to avoid the chaos, they secretly mocked the director of the French Concession's Municipal Council.

At the same time, he made sarcastic remarks about the kidnappers.

I think they're quite willful.

After the noisy banter and jokes subsided, the rulers of the various concessions dared not disperse their troops any further.

They could only watch as the gangsters continued to stir up trouble in Shanghai.

In order to maintain their rule, to safeguard their interests, and to ensure the safety of themselves and their families, the rulers of the various concessions began to issue orders to consolidate the law enforcement teams that had been dispatched abroad.

Zhabei.

Outside the warehouse area, on a small building not far away.

Ye Shaohong, who hadn't rested all night, was hiding in a secluded corner, using binoculars to observe the situation ahead. Suddenly...

A car drove into the warehouse area and stopped. A soldier holding documents rushed inside.

The soldier arrived at the entrance to the warehouse area and first showed his identification to the guards at the gate.

Then he rushed straight into the warehouse area.

After a while.

From inside the warehouse area came a series of urgent whistles.

As the whistle blew, soldiers who were resting or working in the barracks and various locations in the warehouse area rushed out.

After a brief rendezvous and briefing, the security personnel in the warehouse area, led by their superiors, carried their weapons and ammunition and disappeared into the distance behind the approaching vehicles.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong, who had been observing from the shadows, immediately showed a look of surprise and delight. "They're finally gone!"

"I paid a heavy price to get the guards of this warehouse transferred."

"Now we can begin the next part of the task."

Although he hadn't rested all night, Ye Shaohong was still in good spirits. As he muttered to himself, he turned around and picked up the telephone on the table.

The call was made.

"Zhengguo?"

"Has Tiecheng returned yet?"

"Alright, you two can get started now. Remember, keep it low-key and don't attract attention."

"I demand that you take control of the entire warehouse area within fifteen minutes."

"Can you do it?"
