Chapter 33 The Green Gang Boss
Chapter 33 The Green Gang Boss
"Teacher, I'm going to organize Su Yuncheng's information."
Chen Yansheng said in a low voice, and Shen Mozhou nodded gently: "Go."
Shen Mozhou requested a lot of comprehensive information, including Su Yuncheng's life experiences from childhood to adulthood, his family, and so on.
There's so much information; we can't get it all in a short time. We have to collect and organize it slowly.
At the newspaper office, Su Yuncheng had Huang Chuanming send the intelligence he had obtained that day to Mutō Tomohō.
Huang Chuanming's telegram meant that he also knew about this intelligence.
"Editor-in-chief, the boss called back."
Soon, Huang Chuanming arrived at the office with Mutou Tomoo's reply. Mutou Tomoo was free today and replied immediately upon receiving their telegram.
He praised Su Yuncheng again for his timely intelligence and gave him another 100 silver dollars as a reward.
This time, Su Yuncheng didn't give Huang Chuanming as much; he only gave him a symbolic reward of ten silver dollars.
Muto Tomohiro demanded clear rewards and punishments. Su Yuncheng obtained the information himself on both occasions, and Huang Chuanming's role was limited, so there was no need to give him so much.
If there's an opportunity in the future, Su Yuncheng will help Huang Chuanming obtain more intelligence and increase his rewards.
"Kawamaki, when I'm not teaching you, you have to train on your own. You need to find time to go out and train on your own."
Su Yuncheng instructed Huang Chuanming that since they did not have sufficient resources, the training should be flexible and adaptable. Huang Chuanming should train whatever he had learned on his own.
He is now learning tracking and counter-tracking, and he can practice on ordinary people first.
Gradually accumulate experience, and later have him attract the thief's attention, using the thief to train his anti-tracking skills.
"Editor-in-chief, I'll be going out this afternoon."
Huang Chuanming nodded immediately. The morning was quite busy, and the newspaper was a tool for them to conceal their identities as intelligence agents, but the newspaper was also very useful.
Tomoo Muto has always paid close attention to public opinion.
"I'm going out for a bit. You keep an eye on the newspaper office."
When Su Yuncheng got up to inquire about Hu Bang'an's information, Pan Liu mentioned that Cao Yinshan had mentioned him and told him to visit Cao Yinshan more often.
Pan Liu had said that he could not go to Cao Yin Mountain at the originally planned time.
We need to go today, and we need to increase the frequency of our visits in the future.
Cao Yinshan was one of the few senior members of the Green Gang in Shanghai, with a very high seniority. His grandfather had introduced him to Cao Yinshan before, and after returning from studying abroad, Su Yuncheng would visit him once a month.
Cao Yinshan owned several properties in the French Concession and the International Settlement. He usually preferred to live in the International Settlement. Su Yuncheng bought gifts and went to Cao's mansion in the International Settlement.
"Young Master Su, you've arrived."
The guards at the gate saw Su Yuncheng get out of the rickshaw and immediately came out to greet him.
Su Yuncheng comes once a month, and the guards have known him for a long time.
"Is Sixth Brother here?"
The guards were ordinary Green Gang disciples, not Cao Yinshan's apprentices. Su Yuncheng didn't ask Cao Yinshan directly; instead, he met with Pan Liu first.
"Yes, I'll go inform Sixth Brother right away."
The guard knew who Su Yuncheng was referring to as Sixth Brother, and soon Pan Liu came out.
"Yun Cheng is here. I knew you were clever."
Pan Liu greeted him with a smile and patted Su Yuncheng on the shoulder.
"Is Uncle Cao busy?" Su Yuncheng asked.
"No rush, I'll take you to see your master."
Pan Liu immediately replied that Cao Yinshan had just finished practicing Tai Chi and was resting at the moment, so he was indeed not busy.
"Thank you, Sixth Brother."
Cao Yinshan was resting in the tea room in the backyard when Pan Liu led Su Yuncheng into the tea room.
"Uncle Cao, I hope you are in good health."
Su Yuncheng bowed his head in greeting, while Cao Yinshan chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down and let's talk."
Pan Liu led Su Yuncheng directly into the tea room. Don't underestimate this move. People who are not close to him must wait outside to be summoned, except for important figures.
If one were an ordinary nobody, they wouldn't be qualified to see Cao Yinshan, nor would they dare to come.
"Uncle Cao, what's been happening in Britain lately..."
After Su Yuncheng sat down, he spoke softly. He knew that Cao Yinshan was particularly interested in international current affairs and would always talk about things that Cao Yinshan didn't know when he came.
In fact, he learned all of this from foreign newspapers, but he was better at summarizing than others, and he could always make Cao Yinshan very satisfied with what he said.
Cao Yinshan was very clever; in this chaotic world, he knew very well how to protect himself.
China is vast, yet it still has to rely on foreigners.
On this land, foreigners are considered superior.
He also had a good relationship with foreigners, whether from the East or the West, and never offended anyone.
"Master, Du Risheng has arrived."
After chatting for more than ten minutes, another disciple of Cao Yinshan came in and reported in a low voice.
"Uncle Cao, please go ahead with your work. I'll come again next time."
Su Yuncheng immediately stood up. Du Risheng was also a big shot in the Shanghai Green Gang, and in terms of reputation alone, he was even bigger than Cao Yinshan.
"Alright, come more often in the future. Liu Zi, you take Yun Cheng back."
Cao Yinshan did not try to stop him. Du Risheng's personal visit must mean he had something important to discuss, and he didn't have time for Su Yuncheng to continue chatting with him.
"If you don't mind, I'll come every day from now on."
Su Yuncheng smiled, while Cao Yinshan laughed heartily, saying that it was impossible for Su Yuncheng to come every day, as he had a lot of work and didn't have that much time.
But everyone wants to hear that.
Pan Liu led Su Yuncheng away. As they were leaving, Su Yuncheng saw a middle-aged man enter, led by others.
Cao Yinshan has already come out. Du Risheng is not Su Yuncheng; he will be receiving them in the living room.
Su Yuncheng glanced at Du Risheng, and Du Risheng glanced back at him, but the two did not exchange any words.
It was almost noon when we left Cao's residence.
The newspaper office has a lunch break, so Su Yuncheng didn't go straight back; he could return to the newspaper office in the afternoon.
He came to the Bund alone.
This is the most bustling and vibrant part of Shanghai.
It can also be said to be the most prosperous place in China.
The Bund is bustling with people from all over the world, including Indian police officers wearing hats.
These Indian police officers were even more ruthless than their British masters.
The Bund was bustling, yet it gave Su Yuncheng a sense of unfamiliarity; this was a place in China, but it didn't belong to China.
He was recalling his previous dream.
The book mentions that if the concessions are reclaimed in the future, this place should return to China's embrace.
There's also Xie Hanzhang's former residence, located in the French Concession. The fact that it was converted into a memorial hall shows that the French Concession returned to China and became their own territory.
I wonder if this place will remain as prosperous as it is now in the future.
At the Japanese hospital, Takumi Endo brought food into the ward.
"Kato, this is your favorite sushi, have a taste."
Opening the food box, Endo smiled and looked at Kato Ken. Kato Ken had recovered well after the surgery and was out of danger.
However, his physical disability caused Kato Ken to remain depressed.
"Thank you, Captain."
Kato Ken said calmly that he was Endo's confidant and that Endo had indeed treated him well.
"The team leader has been sent by the section chief to carry out a secret mission and will not be in Shanghai for the foreseeable future."
Kato suddenly said that Mizuno was indeed leaving Shanghai, and that he had been severely scolded by his section chief, Fujita, this morning.
The Special Higher Police suffered heavy losses this time, and someone must be held accountable.
Mizuno, who acted arbitrarily and arrested Hu Bang'an, became the scapegoat.
Kato didn't know what mission Mizuno had been assigned to, but Mizuno would be away for at least a while.
