Chapter 257: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Zhang Er was still wearing a long black gown and a top hat on his head. He was holding two jade balls in one hand and spinning them leisurely. The other arm was in a long sleeve. People who didn't know the situation wouldn't know that it was an arm without a hand.
"Who was it I thought? It turns out to be an old acquaintance."
When Zhang Er saw the people in the room, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eagle eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and greeted them with a hint of sarcasm.
After saying this, his eyes fell on Lu Pingsheng, somewhat provocatively.
When Wei Miao saw Zhang Er appear, he knew who this cafe was opened for.
Sister Hu Na finally realized her dream of becoming a boss’s wife.
Thinking of Hu Na, Wei Miao remembered Yang Qiushi who was now following Lu Pingsheng.
"Who is this?" Wu Ziyang really didn't know Zhang Er.
Lu Pingsheng said with a grin, "Zi Yang, this is a bit out of place for you. You haven't even heard of the famous Mr. Zhang Er?"
Wu Ziyang rarely saw Lu Pingsheng's weird look, and knew that he didn't like this person, so he sneered:
"Do I know everyone, cat or dog?"
Zhang Er's cheeks twitched, his eyes looked sinister, and he said calmly:
"It's true that I can't catch the eye of Deputy Chief Inspector Wu."
Wu Ziyang was too lazy to waste time, "Has the rent for this store been paid?"
When Old Liu called, he only said that there was a policeman causing trouble, but he did not say that it was Wu Ziyang who came to his house. He glared at Old Liu fiercely.
"We have been renting this store from the Sheng family. I heard that the store has changed hands and the new landlord has not shown up yet. I don't know who to pay the rent to."
Lu Pingsheng secretly admired this guy for his flexibility and his constant nonsense.
The bastard thought he was great just by joining the Japanese. Now the Japanese are still counting on the European and American industrial powers to buy all kinds of supplies, so they dare not be arrogant.
"Really? The accountant at home first failed to take back the shop, and then was beaten when he came to collect rent a few days ago. I guess Mr. Zhang is unaware of this?"
Zhang Er laughed loudly, walked over to hand the two balls to Lao Liu, raised his hand and slapped him twice, looking at Lao Liu's confused look, he said casually:
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"
Old Liu was so scared that he fell to his knees and kowtowed, "Second Master, please spare me, Second Master, please spare me, I was the one who had the wrong idea and embezzled the money you asked me to pay as rent."
The only sound in the whole hall was Lao Liu's kowtow and begging for mercy. After less than ten kowtows, Lao Liu's forehead was already covered with blood.
Wu Ziyang was turning the lighter in his hand, Lu Pingsheng was looking at the furnishings in the hall carefully, and even Wei Miao was looking at the newly bought piano curiously.
Qi Weiwei may have never seen such a scene, and she unconsciously held Bai Xingzhou's arm tightly. Bai Xingzhou patted her hand soothingly. The two looked at each other and decided to remain silent.
Looking at the performance of this group of people, Zhang Er's face became terribly gloomy.
Lu Pingsheng, Lu Pingsheng, well done!
He walked up to Lao Liu, kicked him and said coldly:
"Since Master Lu won't forgive you, there's no point in keeping your life."
Old Liu fell to the ground, and the two jade balls in his hands rolled on the ground and slid to Wei Miao's feet.
Wei Miao looked down and saw, oh wow, although the water content was not satisfactory, the color was super hot. It should be worth a few hundred dollars, or he could take it home as a toy for the two little lions?
Seeing that he behaved like this and the two men remained indifferent, Zhang Er completely lost his patience.
As he raised his hand to draw the gun from his waist, Captain Guo and his men, who had received orders from Lu Pingsheng, pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.
Although Zhang Er was fierce, he was missing one hand and was no match for these policemen.
In the blink of an eye, he was pinned down.
The group of people led by Zhang Er surrounded them in an instant, and the people in the front raised their guns in their hands.
Zhang Er's hat fell off, and his carefully groomed hair became messy. He looked at Wu Ziyang sinisterly and said:
"Deputy Chief Inspector Wu, I am a special operations member of the Japanese Special High Technology Department. Are you sure you want to treat me like this?"
"Let your Special High Technology Department Nakano-kun talk to me in person, you?" Wu Ziyang looked at him with contempt and said lightly: "You are not qualified."
You are a Japanese secret agent, and you openly carried a gun and caused trouble in the French Concession, which was bad enough. You even caused trouble in front of the deputy chief patrol officer of the French Concession Police Station.
I don't know what makes him so fearless.
Saburo Nakano is the chief of the Special High Technology Department in Shanghai. Only people of this level are qualified to talk to Wu Ziyang.
"Take them all away!"
Zhang Er was being pinned down, and none of his men dared to move. When the police station across the street saw what was happening, a large group of people were dispatched.
In the blink of an eye, not only Zhang Er, but also the thirty or so people he brought with him were all crushed away.
Fortunately, the distance is very close and we can just cross the road.
Wu Ziyang looked at Lu Pingsheng and said, "I'll take the people away. Let the consulate negotiate for the rest. When the time comes, whether you want to take back the shop or continue to collect rent, tell me."
Lu Pingsheng casually bowed to him and said, "Thank you very much. If you have any difficulties, please let me know."
Wu Ziyang waved his hand, "Why make things difficult for me? He is just a bully who takes advantage of others."
Lu Pingsheng's face turned black.
Wei Miao blushed.
Wu Ziyang had a smug look on his face. He said goodbye to Bai Xingzhou, who was chuckling, and walked out of the door back to the police station with a chuckle.
Wei Miao picked up the green jade ball on the ground. It felt cool and smooth to the touch, not bad.
"Are you happy?" Lu Pingsheng asked her.
Wei Miao nodded, "Remember to ask them to compensate Uncle Wu for his medical expenses and lost wages."
Bai Xingzhou and his companion watched a big show, and left at the same time as they had dinner together with Wei Miao.
Wei Miao felt a little melancholy only after they left.
"This cafe is probably opened for Sister Hu Na."
Lu Pingsheng sat in front of the piano and pressed the black and white keys of the piano at random with his hands.
He had to explain it clearly to the little brat, lest she be naive.
"Do you know what Zhang Er is doing now?"
Wei Miao knew a little, "I heard that he was a dog."
"So, why did he open a cafe opposite the Central Police Station? Was it simply to satisfy Hu Na's wish to become the boss lady?"
"He wants to collect information." Wei Miao was not stupid and he figured it out immediately.
Lu Pingsheng sighed, "This guy will probably be released soon. This must be the idea of the Special High Technology Department. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a non-staff member like him to be so arrogant."
Wei Miao didn't care much about this, "Then tell Brother Wu, don't forget to ask for more money, the Japanese have plenty of money anyway."
Wei Miao is still worried about the more than 20 tons of gold that she did not swallow, and she doesn't know where it is now.
Lu Pingsheng looked at her tense little face and knew what she was thinking about.
Now he didn't dare let her think about these things. The idea of sending troops to China was not something that could be solved by just fleas.
That is a truly strict army, a weapon with a sharpened blade.
What's more, compared to these illusory things, Wei Miao can do more.
"Ah Miao, is your brother's birthday coming up soon?"
