Chapter 384 Pure and innocent (please subscribe and ask for tickets)

   "There is an old saying in your country, which is called self-satisfaction, which is what you are now." Pete said after taking a look at Cheng Qianfan.

  Of course, he also knew that Cheng Qianfan was not bragging. With the current energy of Inspector Cheng, if he wanted to kill someone without anyone noticing, he could do it.

  On the surface, the French Concession is dominated by the French, but in private, the inspectors and detectives of the police station, the gangsters of the Green Gang, these people secretly "maintain" the underground order in Shanghai.

  However, Cheng Qianfan's complacent attitude made Pete feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but sarcasm.

  Cheng Qianfan smiled, but did not refute anything.

  He is a Japanese Miyazaki Kentaro 'in his bones'. As the Japanese army attacked Shanghai, Miyazaki Kentaro would inevitably swell. Maybe Miyazaki himself 'didn't realize it'. This was a subconscious reaction.

   "I'm just a middleman." Cheng Qianfan said, and slowly stacked out fifteen gold bars from the suitcase, "One hundred and twenty large yellow croakers, I will take the least share, fifteen."

   "Tell me, what's the matter?" Pete glanced at the gold bars in the suitcase, touched his nose, and asked.

"The Daxin Iron and Steel Factory in Zhabei is going to move the factory equipment and personnel out of Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan said slowly, playing with a gold bar in his hand, "They were blocked at the checkpoint in the Zhabei Concession, and the other party's request was to be within twelve Pass within an hour."

   "Zhabei Concession?" Pete looked at Cheng Qianfan with a half-smile, "Fei Li's site, Fei is your friend, why don't you show up?"

   "I reckon that the Japanese are instigated behind this." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice, "You know, I have always had a pretty good relationship with the Japanese."

  Peter understood that this guy Cheng Qianfan wanted to get the intermediary fee, but also worried that he would offend the Japanese, so he hid behind his back and secretly asked him to come forward.

  …

   "I can't do anything." Pete shook his head, "I'm not familiar with Fei Li."

   "You don't need to contact Feili." Cheng Qianfan said, "Our target is Viscount Cage of the Ministry of Industry in the International Concession. As long as he speaks, everything will be fine."

  British Settlement Patrol Office Police Director Smith returned to Washington to report on his duties. Now the Public Settlement Patrol Office is led by David Cage, who is a director of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and now also holds the post of Deputy Police Superintendent of the Public Settlement Patrol Office.

   "I'm not familiar with Viscount Cage." Pete said calmly.

   "Yes, I know you are not familiar." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Pete meaningfully, "However, I heard that Viscount David Cage loves his daughter Miss Ruth Cage very much."

  Yesterday, he accompanied Pete to "appreciate" the air battle on the roof of the Sassoon Building, and discovered that Pete and Ruth, a pair of dogs and men, were secretly going on a tryst.

  When Cheng Qianfan left the Sassoon Building, he asked the building staff casually, and easily found out the identity of Miss Ruth:

  Director of the British-American Public Settlement Industry Bureau, the youngest daughter of David Cage, the Viscount of the British Empire, this person also has the identity of the deputy police chief of the Public Settlement Police Department.

   "Ruth and I are ordinary friends, we are very innocent." Pete said seriously.

"Of course I believe that you are innocent." Cheng Qianfan showed an expression of "I believe you", nodded, and pointed to the golden yellow croaker, "I have inquired about the market, and fifty gold bars are enough to convince this Viscount Cage."

  Peter glanced at the remaining one hundred and five large yellow croakers in the suitcase, thinking secretly.

   Remove the fifty gold bars for Papa Ruth, and there are fifty-five bars left.

   Give Ruth ten more, and forty-five gold bars.

   works.

  …

   "Okay, I'll take this job." Pete nodded, "Although Ruth and I are just ordinary friends, I believe that based on the friendship between Ruth and me, she will be happy to help."

"Refreshing." Cheng Qianfan gave a thumbs up and smiled, "By the way, Wei Zhirong, the owner of Daxin Iron and Steel Plant, had some conflicts with Mr. Flood, the director of the Industrial Bureau of the Public Concession, but it's not a big problem. Thirty A large yellow croaker should be enough to satisfy Mr Floyd."

   "Why didn't you talk about it just now?" Pete asked angrily.

  Give Director Floyd 30 large yellow croakers. In this case, only 15 gold bars left for Pete.

  I was busy, but I got as many as Cheng Qianfan, who was just a matchmaker and a talkative guy!

   This made Pete quite upset.

"What do you think I am doing?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a frown, "My friend, don't be too greedy. Except for Viscount Cage and Mr. Flood, you can still get twenty-five large yellow croakers, which is almost as good as mine. twice as much."

   "I also want to give Ruth ten gold bars." Pete said with a serious expression.

   "You can't take my hard-earned money from me just to please your woman!" Cheng Qianfan looked indignant.

  The two had a short 'heavy' quarrel.

  Finally, Cheng Qianfan compromised, and he reluctantly agreed to give up one gold bar. He took the middle fee of fourteen gold bars, and Pete took sixteen gold bars.

  …

   When leaving, Cheng Qianfan stretched out his right hand towards Pete.

  Pete and Cheng Qianfan shook hands.

   Cheng Qianfan had a strange expression, and stretched out his right hand again.

"What?"

   "Give me the key to Warehouse No. 3." Cheng Qianfan said angrily.

   "I don't have the key, I'll get it for you tomorrow." Pete said, urging Cheng Qianfan to leave quickly.

  He worried that his wife Linda would wake up, and Linda would see a suitcase of gold bars, which would be bad.

  He didn't want to hide his private money from Linda, but this deal involved Ruth, and he was worried that his wife would misunderstand his 'clean' relationship with Ruth.

   "Remember, you must get through the relationship before tomorrow morning to let the checkpoint go." Cheng Qianfan urged, "I promised to finish this matter before twelve o'clock over there."

  He Xiaocheng Inspector has always been paid for his work, and he has a good reputation, but he can't ruin his reputation.

   "Don't worry." Pete quickly agreed.

  …

  Leaving Pete's house, Cheng Qianfan drove away.

  Pete's home is on Ma Sinan Road.

  It is less than 200 meters away from Peng and Ou's home.

  Peng and Ou stood by the window on the second floor, the curtains were drawn, and he gently opened a gap, and he just kept staring outside.

   At his feet is a spittoon, a toilet.

  Under the dim streetlights, a trash can quietly stayed by the side of the road.

  A headlight came directly.

  Cheng Qianfan put one hand on the steering wheel, and held the cigarette case in the other. He shook slightly, and a cigarette popped out. He lowered his head and bit the cigarette.

   Lightly stepped on the brakes and stopped right next to the trash can.

   Throw the empty cigarette pack into the trash can.

   Then he flicked on the lighter unhurriedly, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and then started the car, disappearing silently into the night of Shanghai.

  Peng and Ou, who were secretly watching all this behind the curtains on the second floor, were overjoyed. Just now, the "flame" threw away the cigarette case and lit the cigarette. This is a signal that everything is going well.

  If Cheng Qianfan drove away without stopping, it meant that the situation was bad, and Pete didn't want to get involved in this matter.

  If you just throw away the cigarette case but don't light the cigarette, it means that there is still a possibility of further negotiation and fight.

   Ask for subscription, ask for reward, ask for monthly pass, ask for recommendation ticket, ask for collection.

   Thank you.
