Chapter 69 (1/2)

The assassination that took place on the Tianchang Festival was considered by historians to be an absolute heavy blow to the Japanese army, and it delayed the Japanese invasion plan for at least five years. This was the short-lived prosperity of the following years. The period from 1927 to 1937 was called the golden decade of development of the Republic of China, which laid a solid economic foundation for the subsequent outbreak of a full-scale anti-Japanese war.

Of the three members of the North Korean Patriotic Organization who carried out the assassination at the time, two men and one woman were killed, and one was wounded and captured alive.

There was chaos in the entire Hongkou Park, and many wounded were transported to the Japanese military hospital by pallets on Pingliang Road.

The Liberty newspaper published headlines that day, commenting on the matter. “General Shirakawa, the commander-in-chief of the enemy invading Shanghai, was hit by several bullets in the explosion and was killed on the spot; Commander of the Third Fleet Nomura, Commander of the Ninth Division and other seven main officers were killed in Shanghai; Minister Shigemitsu, although To avoid tragic deaths, they are all crippled, and they have not yet awakened. In an instant, the solemn celebration party suddenly turned into a miserable temple of Yama, which truly declared the decline of Japanese imperialism.”

He Yang Zhenwu was furious and patted the newspaper on the table. “Check me thoroughly! All accomplices and behind-the-scenes leaders must be tried out.”

According to the information provided by Xu Xingcheng, they rushed to the Huang Mansion, but they were completely empty. Huang Xinghan and others evacuated long ago.

Hearing that Luo Fusheng was arrested on the spot, Lin Ruomeng got Lin Daoshan’s approval to go to Hong Gang to discuss how to rescue him, but Xu Xingcheng held him back.

“Lin Ruomeng, what are you doing!” He whispered against her ear. “If I hadn’t deliberately concealed your identity, you should have been arrested by the Japanese for torture and interrogation now! Don’t you rush to draw a line with him at this time, and you want to die?”

“It turned out to be you… Brother Godsend is monitoring me for you, and you revealed our plan to the Japanese!” Lin Ruomeng saw that his face changed from shame to righteousness.

“What about me? I’m here to protect you!”

“Thanks to you for passing the false news for us.” Lin Ruomeng put up a playful smile. “You said that if I let out the news and said that Commander Xu was a patriotic hero, he played an important role in this plan. What would His Highness Limoto think?”

“You!” Xu Xingcheng didn’t expect that they had left a post here, and wanted to drag him into the water. “You won’t hurt me like this.”

“Yes. I don’t want you to die now. But if you pull me again, maybe.”

Xu Xingcheng let go of his hand a little bit, he didn’t expect that Lin Ruomeng now was no longer the poor and cute little actor he had known. She also has a thunderous method not inferior to men to kill people.

Lin Qikai’s car drove to the door, and Lin Ruomeng got in the car without looking back.

When the brothers and sisters Lin Ruomeng rushed to Hong Mansion, they learned that Hong Zhengbao had already taken Luo Cheng and the Hong Gang children to the Japanese appointment.

“Not good!” Lin Qikai had a hunch that something would happen. “Ruomeng, get in the car!”

Luo Cheng drove the car and looked out the window alertly, with a worried expression. “Helper, this Japanese proposes to let you negotiate alone. It is obviously a banquet. Or should we go back and discuss the long-term plan?”

“In order not to drag us down, Floating Life voluntarily left the Hong Gang and stayed in the Red Maru Club to try his best. Now he is giving up his life for justice. How can I be a tortoise? If the Japanese wants my life in exchange for his life, give it to him. Hide. It’s useless.”

Hong Zhengbao sighed while looking at the street view outside the window. “What a great Shanghai Beach, there are foreigners all over the place, and we must not continue to accept it!”

“Yeah! We have all arranged in the periphery according to your instructions. If you go in for more than the agreed time, we will act immediately.”

Hong Zhengbao nodded, closed his eyes and leaned on the seat, gently tapping the window lattice with his finger, waiting.

The car drove into an alley, and suddenly a gun shot, Hong Zhengbao opened his eyes. “Who?”

“I don’t know. Let’s get out now!” Luo Cheng wanted to reverse the car. Hong Zhengbao stopped.

“Go ahead!”

“but……”

“Go ahead! I just want the Japanese to see, this warning can’t threaten us.”

Luo Cheng had to continue to accelerate.

Qian Kuohai’s muzzle was still smoking, Hu Qi retracted his head from the corner of the street, and looked at him anxiously. “Why did this Hong Bang master not return, but drove forward?”

“It’s a man.” Qian Kuohai smiled and shook his head. Luo Fusheng, your foster father is really difficult.

“Then what to do now?” Hu Qi asked.

“Let’s go.”

Hu Qi nodded and made a gesture to the surrounding men. When everyone saw Hong Zhengbao’s car parked at the agreed place, they quickly surrounded the past.

Hong Zhengbao sat in the car, the window was rolled down, and he watched vigilantly at the people of the Qinggang who had outflanked him. He pressed the gun on his waist forcefully. Opened the door and walked down.

Hong Zhengbao got off the station and settled, Qian Kuohai and Hu Qi had already walked in front of him.

“Old money, I haven’t dealt with it for some days. Last time the Fengtian Incident, you led the procession and uprising and burned the Great Smokehouse. Didn’t you expect to become a rung of the Japanese?”

Qian Kuohai raised his gun and pointed at Hong Zhengbao. “The march and the uprising is the righteousness of the country, and the grievances between us. There are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests.”

“Qian Kuohai, the Qing Gang also has a good face in Shanghai. You must behave with a sense of measure, and you can’t be pricked by posterity!”

Qian Kuohai laughed loudly, then said in a low voice. “Helper Hong, you old bones that eat soft but not hard, don’t disappoint your son’s wish. You must live well to realize your ambition!”

Qian Kuohai deflected his gun, but if he disconnected the gun, the bullet hit the car door. Qian Kuohai and Hong Zhengbao met.

Hong Zhengbao was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately reacted and flew into the car. The door slammed shut, and the car started to move, rushing out of the enclosure, as if it was about to tear open a tear.

“Call me!” Qian Kuohai ordered.

Hu Qi led his men to shoot. The bullet flew frantically towards the Mercedes-Benz car, but almost every shot passed by the car.

[Before the Tianchang Festival, Luo Fusheng found Qian Kuohai. “After the assassination is completed, to force me to submit. The Japanese will definitely start with the people around me. With my adoptive father’s strong character, he will not listen to him when he is advised not to throw himself into a snare. So, the money will help you, please. When necessary, you perform plays in front of the Japanese to protect my foster father in secret.”
