Chapter 55: Tufeiyan's Rebirth
It's almost June, the sun is shining brightly, and occasionally a gentle breeze will be borrowed by the French plane trees on both sides of the road to show off its charm; the warm but not scorching sunlight falls on people, making them feel a kind of lazy comfort.
However, the old man sitting in the black Citroen on the road had a frosty face; the middle-aged person beside him was also silent, with thoughts hanging on his face. The people in the car were Yu Kuicheng, the leader of Shanghai's national industry and commerce, and his eldest son Yu Shun'en.
"The tree wants to be still but the wind will not subside..." Yu Kaiqing's face had been gloomy since he returned from the ventilation meeting at Song Kong Group yesterday: "Shun En, what do you think about this round of grain speculation?"
Yu Shun'en thought for a moment before saying: "Originally, it had nothing to do with us, but they dragged us into it, which isn't good..."
Yu Kaiqing nodded in approval: "Rice is expensive and the people are suffering, grain is cheap and the farmers are hurt... The past two years of natural disasters and man-made calamities have just subsided a bit, and now someone can't stay idle again... Song Ailing just wants to use my good relationship with various exchanges to help her block her opponent's warehouse procedures at critical moments, humph, he himself has a relationship with Rong Zongjing, why does the old man need to intervene? Alas, it's an offense to people!"
"What Dad means is, they don't want to use our connections with the Dutch bank?" Yu Shun'en asked.
"Judging from their previous experience, the money in hand is sufficient, much better prepared than the last time they speculated on gold; they won't take a chance with the Dutch bank." Yu Keqing said: "But it's also a backup plan, if they win, I'm not worried, what I worry about is that they will lose!"
As soon as this was said, Yu Shun'en felt extremely surprised: "Dad says they will lose? ... Those few people in the house yesterday, no matter which one you put on top, are all people who can shake off three shakes with their feet, how can they lose?"
Yu Kaiqing said, "Haven't you seen the trading volume of these two major markets in the past few days? In just two or three days, it's already equal to a normal month. If this continues, do you think it's still a game for one family? I'm worried... if foreigners get involved, humph, Europeans and Americans are fine, they'll just make some money and leave; what I'm worried about is the Japanese taking advantage of the situation to disrupt our grain market!"
"Japanese? Father, I'll pay close attention to the silver roots of Japanese-funded banks for the next two days and see if there's any unusual movement." Yu Shun'en was originally the chief buyer of the Dutch bank, and his reaction to the ups and downs of the banking industry was still very sensitive.
"Look, if this continues for another half month, won't all of China's speculative capital be concentrated in Shanghai? We're stuck in the middle, no matter who wins or loses, we'll always be scolded! ... If foreigners are also involved, especially Japanese people, once something goes wrong, it will either exhaust our national strength or inevitably lead to war again... After I meet with Rong Zongjing later, have the directors of the Four Banks come over tonight, we can't let the Four Banks get entangled in this... Oh, and our industries shouldn't invest in this speculation either!" Yu Huachen, who was used to seeing storms and always kept a vigilant eye on the Japanese, decided to make a swift retreat!
Few heroes retire from the limelight, but many rush forward for quick success!
After several days of preparation and large-scale mobilization of funds, the total funds of Song Kong Group have exceeded 600 million! They also found that the market's activity and fund abundance far exceeded expectations, so they are excitedly nervous, trying to swallow this hot market in one go!
After Tsuchihara left, Yoshikawa Shuzo's mood is now tense and more excited. He already knows that the Song Kong Group has roughly 1.5 billion in funds, excluding the 500 million he provided, they have also raised another 4.5 billion! Now Song Kong has basically invested more than half of his assets, and the funds following them basically represent more than half of the power of the Chinese official business system. As for other speculative capital, it is definitely over 1 billion, if this vote is won cleanly, he will not be just a deputy director-general!
In an inconspicuous office in the Sassoon Building, a European man with a face as resolute as stone was intently staring at a large stack of reports and documents. Suddenly, he buried his head and wrote furiously for a while before completing a brief report. He stood up and shouted out in Hebrew: "Someone come quickly and give this to the miss..."
His name is Tivadar Soros, a hired lawyer for the Hungarian branch of the original Bedtan company. After Little Batan had an accident, Ronghui started another business and poached him; this time he came to play the role of the boss of that mysterious foreign financial group. However, due to his responsibility to his employer and his own comprehensive quality, he really took charge when Shason and Ronghui were not around; oh, by the way, he is a Jew. After comparing the transaction situation for half a year, although he is not a financial expert, he still discovered that this transaction volume was abnormal...not just any abnormality! According to the role requirements, before coming to Shanghai, he had already done some research on financial manipulation, and now, based on his basic common sense, he felt that the funds in the market seemed far greater than the data he had obtained beforehand. He thought it necessary to remind Ronghui.
At this time, Shason and Ronghui, who were floating on the river, received reports from their subordinates one after another. Those experienced traders and highly intelligent lawyers all discovered the abnormality of the market. Shason began to regret his agreement with Tan Xiao: originally, his plan was to pay out about 300 million yuan in chips, skillfully making a big hit, earning around 100-150 million yuan; the main stable income should be placed on the loan to Song Kong - that was his exclusive income! However, according to the data constantly reported by his subordinates, if he didn't go all out, he couldn't control the situation at all! Even going all out might not guarantee that he could take down his opponent! Now he wished he could fly to Shanghai by plane, but in front of Ronghui, he did not show his anxiety.
He didn't say, but Tong Hui could feel it, especially when she received Sorash's phone call. She noticed Shason's attention - his concern about her attitude towards Sorash's telegram. Xiao Bei said something unforgettable to her before pushing her onto another man's bed that year: In this world, even the dead would deceive people! So, a thread of worry rose in her heart; however, she didn't show it in front of Shason.
Shanghai is like a live volcano, ready to erupt at any moment, but nobody knows when it will start. For two consecutive days, the futures market has been operating in a state of frantic trading and stagnant prices. But for Hong Kong, the time of eruption has already been set.
"The operation is set for tonight!" Ren Pingwei said: "This morning, the British fleet will hold an enlistment ceremony for those Fushimi Palace youngsters. Tonight, they won't be going back to the 'Ghost House' to sleep! So, the operation is set for tonight; Captain Ding will explain the specific plan of action to everyone!"
More than fifty people in the room turned their eyes to Ding Lushan, who felt a sense of pride that had been lost for a long time.
"Today, people with some status in the 'ghost house' will all go to pay their respects, so we'll sneak in during broad daylight..."
It turned out that sneaking in during the daytime was a great plan; due to the good security in this area, under Chen Lianbo's care, the police station also dispatched more personnel; so the Japanese were very lax. Those who lived in the surrounding rooms and were hidden scouts were identified beforehand, and the action team of over 50 people, except for the responding personnel, all successfully evaded the sight of all the sentry posts and sneaked into this large house.
Most people in the house had gone to watch the ceremony, and the remaining servants were all lazy and resting, including the four guards who stayed behind. So the 14 infiltrators all successfully took their positions.
The room that Mo San infiltrated was the one belonging to Fushimi Hiroaki, a man in his thirties who looked like a porcelain doll. Before taking action, Mo San had taken a three-hour bath and was confident that he didn't have any unusual odors on him. However, during the infiltration process, he still sweated a bit, so he went to the bathroom in the room and carefully turned on the faucet to wipe off the sweat again. Then, he walked to the bedside, deeply inhaling the lingering scent on the bed, and then found the clothes his host had worn and savored them for a while; he walked to the dresser, picked out the bottle of perfume with the same fragrance, and lightly sprayed some on his armpits, head, mouth, and other areas before hiding in the hiding place he had found.
Others, in their own hiding rooms, were doing the same or similar things. They couldn't be like those tough guys in special forces who could run dozens of kilometers and then engage in high-intensity combat. However, from a standing start, they wouldn't be any worse than special forces personnel in battle; in some special environments, some people would even excel; they were the special forces within the special agents!
Waiting in a silent empty room for half a day until nightfall before taking action is not an easy task. It requires the actor to have excellent psychological quality and strong self-control, which these infiltrators all possess. Even from the moment they learned that Tofu left Shanghai, no one has smoked or drunk again. These military intelligence agency's special operations personnel are also elite trained by Tang Xiao himself, although their physical fitness is slightly inferior, but culturally, they are slightly higher than those special warfare personnel who came out of the elite training camp. This is not their first operation, in the action to eliminate Japanese spies in Hunan, they have been well-trained; but undoubtedly, this time's mission is the most difficult and the most important one in history.
Their plan was to sneak into the fourth floor of this building, where the rooms of those Fushimi-no-miya imperial relatives were located, and lie in wait until after the enlistment ceremony. The men would all go directly to the British naval barracks for training, and when these women returned, they would take action. In their plan, there was only one man to deal with: the twelve- or thirteen-year-old son of Fushimi-no-miya Hiro'omi, who was too young to enlist in the military. After they succeeded, they would use these women to lure Tofuya up to this floor, which male agents were generally not allowed to enter, and capture their target alive!
Ting Lu Shan still had two rolls of film on him, originally intended for the movie camera, but later they discovered that one of Bo Yi Wang's brothers had one, so they assumed it would be used to take pictures of the entrance ceremony and bring them back to Japan. Therefore, they prepared identical film in case they couldn't take away Tufei Yuan, to shoot the killing process and bring it back to show Tan Xiao.
Now, he has also completed the preparations before hiding. He took a last look at the photo on the dresser: the little girl wearing a sailor suit, with a sweet smile and a small pimple on her face. Ding Lushan made an extremely rude gesture towards the photo, turned around and walked towards his hiding place. What a pity, she's a princess of a royal family... damn it, if I weren't a soldier now, I would definitely have my way with her... filled with resentment, Ding Lushan also disappeared into the room.
Every move of the Japanese was under surveillance, including their activities in the British naval base; Ren Pingwei was watching them take lively photos. His employer, a fake British devil, an intermediary between the Japanese and the Guangdong warlord, Chen Lianbo, who had organized a business group to oppose the Huangpu Army in Guangzhou, also participated; The child holding his uncle's movie camera surprisingly recorded the scene with ease. Looking at the laughing Japanese women and children, Ren Pingwei felt a hint of sympathy: I hope the action team can capture Tofei smoothly without harming these women and children... He had been in the wild for a short time and hadn't been much affected by Tan Xiang's extreme ideas.
As the men of the Fushimi Palace family bid farewell to their women and marched into the military camp with exaggerated British-style steps, Ren Pingwei began escorting the princesses along with other bodyguards and Japanese agents to Chen Lianbo's mansion. Tonight was the last night for the Japanese in Hong Kong, as they would set off on their journey home tomorrow morning, so Chen Lianbo was hosting a farewell banquet. Hopefully, they would all drink more wine, Ren Pingwei thought of Chen Lianbo's chef, Ah Gui. Tonight, Ah Gui would add some stimulants to the food and wine, a drug that increased one's capacity for alcohol but caused extreme fatigue an hour or two later.
The plan is in place, now it's up to fate.
Tofu Hara Kenshi was very happy today, and he drank a lot of wine. As he couldn't drink Western liquor well like most Asians, he was a bit tipsy. On his way back, he talked to his designated contact officer for the Guangdong-Guangxi Army, Yamura Kazuya, which was rare for him. When he arrived at his room, the effects of the alcohol kicked in and just as he was about to sleep, the phone rang. It was a call from the princess: "General Tofu Hara, we'd like to stay one more day, is that okay?... There's a reason, please come and explain..."
"What! Another day?!" Tsuchihashi was unwilling, he hastily stumbled and staggered towards the fourth floor...
"Very good, well done!" Mo San said to the queen: "I guarantee that your son can return to Japan safely, but now, I have no choice but to tie you up... Ah, your gag cloth, I've sprayed it with your favorite perfume..." Mo San tied the queen's hands with a gentlemanly demeanor... "So smooth..." His hand slipped into the wide sleeve of her kimono and began to play with it wantonly; The queen's body suddenly trembled...
The door opened and Ding Lushan came in to see Mo San hastily pulling his hand out of the princess's sleeve, and couldn't help but smile - he hadn't taken advantage of the Japanese princess when he subdued her! The team members behind him had already brought in Tofu, who was knocked unconscious and tied up: "Damn, this pig is really heavy, it's a chore to get him out!"
One after another, the team members brought in all six female family members of Fushimi Palace, as well as six palace maids and that child. Those women and children stared at this group of intruders with eyes wide with terror, their guards were so close, just on the floor below, but there was no help!
"Get that pig to wake up, I want to interrogate it here!" Mo San was already addicted to torture, and facing so many beautiful young women, he couldn't help but want to find a way to vent his frustrations! Anyway, the soundproofing in these rooms was very good, once the door was closed, no screams would be heard outside!
Ding Lushan really wanted to capture Tufei Yuan, but killing someone was also considered completing the task. Moreover, he found himself becoming more and more like Mo Sanyuan, and he also wanted to scare those women and children! He asked Mo Sanyuan: "Which trick is good?"
Mo San glanced at the pile of women beside him, lecherously pulled out that bottle: "Just cut the small chicken..." Then he scooped out a bit of the powder and put it in the water cup to feed to Tofu Yuan.
After drinking water and waking up, Tsuchihara had only waited for less than a minute when his eyes began to shoot out beastly glints. He stared at the queen whose upper garment was torn open by Ding Lushan to provoke him...
Ding Lushan suddenly felt a jolt in his brain, remembering something. He pulled Mo San: "Old Mo, you've been with the Japanese before, tell me, if Tofu Yuan's rape of the princess is exposed, what will happen?"
Mo San looked at Ding Lu Shan and suddenly seemed to understand something: "You mean..."
Ding Lushan pointed at his movie camera: "Do you think he will be completely controlled by us?"
Completely controlling the land and fertilizer? Isn't that equivalent to almost wiping out Japan's spies in China?! Mo San suddenly discovered that Ding Lu Shan indeed had the qualifications to be a big team leader - this guy is even more ruthless than me!
"If we've made such a great achievement, do you think it's wrong for us to have some fun with those Japanese girls? Ding Lushan's eyes gleamed with the same beastly light as Tofu's: "We're doing this to provoke that guy... damn it, if we just watch without taking action, wouldn't that be strange?"
Mo San originally wasn't a very strong military man, and his principles were completely destroyed on the spot. He suddenly said: "In the past when I was in Vietnam, I heard that old Japanese man say that Japanese people like to do whatever they want, whether it's father-daughter, mother-son, brother-sister, all mixed up. I think this royal family is no exception! Let's just make it a big playground!" He poured out a lot of medicine from the bottle and directly mixed it into the water jug: "First let this pig have a scene of rape, then we'll have a big party!"
This night, directed and performed by Ding Lushan and Mo San, exceeded any Japanese film made in the 21st century. The precious historical material of Japan was immediately classified as top-secret after being ridiculed and became a forbidden treasure stored in Tan Xiao's private chamber.
After the male lead performed crazily for two hours, he was taken to another room and interrogated by Mo San.
"Tofu-hara, you know that once this film is exposed, whether you like it or not, you'll have no way out, and your family will be in the same situation!" Mo San said: "Now you only have one way to go! Help China and thoroughly destroy Japan! Otherwise, you'll end up the same way sooner or later!"
Tsuchihara had come to under the effect of the antidote, and he recalled the scenes from earlier. He realized that Mo San's words were all true. He could kill himself, but if he did, his family would still be doomed once the video was made public!
"Don't worry, those prostitutes from the Fushiya household won't say anything!" Mo San said: "If this matter is exposed, the Fushiya household will also be finished! So, today's events they will treat as if nothing has happened! However, whether or not this matter will be exposed depends on you!... I know that as a head of a special agency, one must have good memory, now, recite to me all the Japanese spies in China that you know!"
At the same time, Ding Lushan was "comforting" those imperial relatives in another room. Of course, his hands were still not idle. And the two rolls of film had already been handed over to two team members who had withdrawn from the mansion along a pre-designed route.
Ding Lushan soon reached an agreement with the still half-dazed Queen of Qi and other female companions, as well as the two young princesses and princes who were still in a semi-mad state. Then, he also entered the room where Tōyama was being interrogated and heard Mo San giving Tōyama his orders: "We will send someone to contact you in Beiping, with an identity that is one of your secret personnel who was sent to Southeast Asia many years ago and has now been recalled. He will work by your side, assisting you in sending back all the intelligence you can obtain... Oh, and stay in Hong Kong for two more days to help those few prostitutes recover their spirits; ...also, get the people from the Guangdong and Guangxi armies to come and discuss matters with me, we must reach a written agreement with them, and take pictures of them signing with the Japanese! Do you understand? If Japan is not destroyed in one day, you will not be safe!... Although you have committed countless crimes against the Chinese people, the Chinese people are forgiving, we give you the opportunity to reform yourself and make up for your mistakes... From now on, I'll give you a Chinese name, don't use that disgusting name Tōyama anymore, let's call you Tu Fei Yuan!"
Mo San compiled a set of high-level speeches that made Ding Lu Shan feel deeply impressed, using the usual habitual phrases he had been joking about. Meanwhile, Doihara Kenji, who was completely naked, nodded hastily - - - - The person being stripped naked in front of his well-dressed opponent would have a deep-seated primal sense of inferiority from Eden, which was one of Tan Xiao's training details. Now, Doihara Kenji, the originally extremely evil Japanese spy chief and brutal regimental commander, had incredibly become a top-level Chinese spy directly controlled by Ye Yi Military in this time-space!
Tan Xiao's crossing has essentially greatly changed history, but on the surface of Sino-Japanese relations, it is still not visible how much different from the original. However, after tonight's performance, history will gradually move in a completely different direction!
(In 2007, I lived in Hong Kong just a few dozen meters away from the High Street Ghost House... It's said that during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, it was a secret agency for Japanese spies, and every night, you could hear the mournful cries of people being tortured. So, I thought I'd use this place to torture the Japanese royal family a bit, haha... I don't know if this chapter will pass the review, I'm worried... Everyone, please give me more recommendations, those annual authors' annual works are not something I dare to hope for, I'm just a newcomer... But last night, I saw that there were over ten votes, and my heart felt warm... It's just strange that today they all disappeared, reset to zero...)
