Chapter 28

"Master, a person surnamed Xu called you. He didn't say what it was, but he said he was waiting for you at the old place." The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, stomped into the basement, and Lu Yuan's first thought was It was Xu Huanshan who looked for him, as if he was the only one with the surname Xu among the people he knew.After casually prevaricating the butler, Uncle Fu, Lu Yuan packed up the gun parts scattered on the workbench, and went to the French Concession to meet Xu Huanshan alone.

The place where Lu Yuan and Xu Huanshan met was a coffee shop. Xu Huanshan still pretended to be a rickshaw driver, but Lu Yuan just took Xu Huanshan's rickshaw after packing a cake in that coffee shop. "What are you looking for? Didn't I tell you not to call my house?" Lu Yuan was very disgusted with Xu Huanshan's behavior of calling home, so he didn't have a good face towards Xu Huanshan.

Ignoring Lu Yuan's bad words, Xu Huanshan explained to Lu Yuan in a low voice while pulling the rickshaw, "It happened suddenly, I left a mark outside the Rose Bar, but you didn't show up for two days, and I also I don't know when you will be able to meet me, so I had to call you." Xu Huanshan's explanation did not calm Lu Yuan down, but Lu Yuan secretly guessed the anxiety implied in Xu Huanshan's words.

"Let me tell you the truth. One of our intelligence points was discovered by the Japanese yesterday. Together with two comrades who were in charge of the daily work of the intelligence point, we were arrested in total 6 people. The action team sent by the superior still needs three more people." According to the information we have so far, the Japanese are already preparing to secretly transfer our comrades to other places." Xu Huanshan pulled the rickshaw into an alley, and then told Lu Yuan the truth.

"So, you are going to try to rescue your people from the Japanese before the action team arrives in Shanghai. It's just that you don't have any suitable candidates at the moment, so you come to me, but you have to know, my price is not high. Low." Lu Yuan had already heard Xu Huanshan's meaning at this time, so he took the initiative to talk.Xu Huanshan admired Lu Yuan's inferences from one instance to another, but he was a little frowned at the frivolous meaning of Lu Yuan's words.

Seeing that Xu Huanshan seemed to have something to say, Lu Yuan continued, "I am in charge, but you have to provide detailed information, especially the topographic map and the means of transportation needed for the retreat. But there is something I want to say first, Everything has to wait until I have read the information you provided, and I can’t promise you now.” Lu Yuan will not refuse to do a little favor for the underground party, but if Lu Yuan is to risk his life to complete it For an impossible task, Lu Yuan could only refuse Xu Huanshan.

An hour later, Xu Huanshan got the relevant detailed information that Lu Yuan needed. According to the information held by the Shanghai Underground Party, this group of Japanese had three strongholds in the Shanghai Concession.What surprised Lu Yuan was that the Japanese did not imprison the captured members of the underground party in the Japanese Concession, but in the French Concession in a grandiose manner.Xu Shi saw Lu Yuan's surprise, and Xu Huanshan explained at this time, "After the incident happened, we sought help from the police station in the French Concession. With the help of the police station, these Japanese had no way to transfer people out of the French Concession."

"I didn't expect your underground party to deal with the patrol house in the concession. It's interesting." Xu Huanshan joked casually, and Lu Yuan continued to study the intelligence and materials provided by the underground party.There are priorities, after Lu Yuan calculated all the information provided by the underground party, he immediately explained to Xu Huanshan some precautions and preparations that need to be made in advance. "Old Xu, I will need two cars and three helpers. Of these three people, two must be able to drive, and I need someone who has met your comrades to recognize them face to face. I don't think I will save a few Japanese People."

"Since you are related to the police station in the French Concession, I hope that if something goes wrong, you can persuade the police station to rush to the scene a little later after discovering an abnormality." Having said that, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes widened. He looked at Xu Huanshan without blinking. "Old Xu, you have to understand that I'm not afraid of the police house, but I don't want to conflict with the police house. If my identity is discovered, I must kill all the insiders."

Lu Yuan's last words were full of threats, and Xu Huanshan felt his scalp tingle, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.After explaining everything that needs to be explained, Lu Yuan looked at his watch and saw that the time was still early, so Lu Yuan smiled at Xu Huanshan, "It's almost time to talk about the business, now, should I talk about my compensation? If We agreed and maybe tonight we can move."

Xu Huanshan was very eager to rescue his captured companion earlier, but when it came to Lu Yuan's reward, Xu Huanshan immediately felt bitter, because he knew that Lu Yuan was used to lions opening their mouths.Sure enough, after Lu Yuan lit the cigarette, Xu Huanshan heard Lu Yuan say in his ear, "I know that your underground party is not a rich person, but this time I can count on my head to help you, since you were captured by the Japanese If there are 6 people, then let’s calculate by the head, how about 100 yuan per person?”

Hey, as soon as Lu Yuan said such a condition, Xu Huanshan immediately jumped up, good guy, it costs 100 yuan for one person, and 6 yuan for 600 people, which is definitely not good for the underground party in Shanghai. will be a small amount. "Brother, should we discuss it again? 600 yuan is not a small amount. Our funds have never been enough. If we take out 600 yuan at once, we will never be able to do it." In order to persuade Lu Yuan to lower his request, Xu Huanshan He even started calling Lu Yuan brother, completely ignoring his middle age.

"Is that so?" Lu Yuan dragged his voice for a long time, and Xu Huanshan's distorted face made Lu Yuan laugh secretly. "Otherwise, it's better. The [-] rifles you took away last time should not be sent out of Shanghai so quickly. I will only charge you half price this time, but you will send me five new guns. "Lu Yuan didn't ask too much, but asked Xu Huanshan for five more new guns because he needed more spare barrels.

Thinking carefully about the conditions proposed by Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan went to make a few more phone calls, and then he nodded and agreed. However, because of the 300 yuan after half price, Xu Huanshan still bargained with Lu Yuan, and in the end, Lu Yuan had to agree. This time I only charged 100 yuan, plus three brand new 2 rifles.Returning to the residence, Lu Yuan met Shu Heman unexpectedly, and learned that Shu Heman had been waiting for him for almost [-] hours, Lu Yuan knew that Shu Heman had made a choice.

"Mr. Schuchman, I thought you wouldn't come to me, but I'm still very happy for your arrival. It can be seen that you should have made a choice. I hope your choice is right for me. It will be good news." Lu Yuan signaled Uncle Fu, who was guarding Shu Heman, to leave, and handed him a cigarette and a lighter.Schuchman reached out to take the cigarette and lighter that Lu Yuan denied, but he did not follow Lu Yuan's instructions to light up and smoke. Instead, he put the cigarette and lighter aside first, and then said to Lu Yuan solemnly.

"Mr. Lu, I am very grateful that you offered me a job, but I want to know what I need to do. If it is not against human nature, I think I can't refuse your kindness." Shu Heman said The words were actually somewhat contradictory, but Lu Yuan didn't care much about these, what he cared about was Schuchman's attitude.

After signaling the other party to sit down, Lu Yuan said, "Mr. Schuchman, I think I have told you before that what I did was to rely on the information provided by Mr. Hansen to intercept us from other black market dealers. Materials needed. I don’t know what standard you mean by not violating human nature, but I can promise you that I will never force you to do things you don’t want to do, but I want to make it clear in advance that I This promise does not apply to the Japanese."

Shu Heman pondered for a while when he heard the words, then nodded to Lu Yuan and replied, "I think I understand what you mean, well, I agree to accept your employment, in fact, I have no way to refuse you The goodwill." Shu Heman's answer made Lu Yuan extremely happy, and then he called Shu Heman to go upstairs to the study with him.

After entering the study, Lu Yuan opened the safe hidden behind the bookshelf, took out a stack of US dollars and handed it to Schuchman. "Shu Heman, there is an old saying in China that there is no rule and no circle. Since you have accepted my employment, then I should pay you. Here is 200 dollars, which is half a month I paid you in advance Remuneration." A thick pile of banknotes was placed in front of Schuchman, but he didn't take it directly, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes.

You can get a salary of 400 US dollars a month. Schuchman can't think of any job in Shanghai that can get such a high salary, even though the young man sitting opposite him is a black market businessman.Schuchman sat motionless, but Lu Yuan smiled indifferently, "My name is Lu Yuan, you can call me Lu or Boss, you should get the money. I know you used to be a soldier, if you let me Seeing your true ability, maybe you can get more rewards."

"I have an operation tonight. The Shanghai underground party was captured by the Japanese and took away several companions. However, they sought help from the inside line of the French Concession patrol room in time, forcing the Japanese to have no way to send the captured people out of the French Concession. The underground party They were going to get their companions out of the hands of the Japanese, so they came to me. We don’t know when the Japanese will send people out of the French Concession, but I have already got the latest information about it.” Lu Yuan has completely forgotten Knowing that Schuchman is a German, he handed over the information Xu Huanshan had brought to Schuchman.
