Li Yunsheng received a telegram from Nanjing and did not care about the fact that he could not be rewarded. Anyway, his current position is good, he has real power and is still the only one. His military rank cannot be improved for a while, and it doesn’t matter if he is not rewarded. He doesn’t care much about the 200,000 yuan fund, because he just made a fortune. Compared with this, the funds sent by the headquarters are inconspicuous. Instead, the matter of replenishing personnel has given Li Yunsheng some ideas. If it weren’t for the laboratory in the armory, with Murakami, the inside line, he would have to use the method of luring the tiger away from the mountain and attracting the guards. This way, there will be more people needed. It seems that he should add some subordinates.

So he replied to Nanjing, saying that he was indeed short of staff here and hoped that the headquarters would add 30 more people. The headquarters responded quickly and told Li Yunsheng that he would send someone to him within a month.

Seeing that the headquarters had a reply so quickly, Li Yunsheng was very satisfied. He felt that the seat was pretty good for him. However, Li Yunsheng had some other thoughts about the arrangement of these 30 people. He did not want to arrange people to Tianjin Station, but planned to disperse the personnel and let them enter French loans and public loans respectively. After all, in a few years, a full-scale war of resistance will break out. At that time, the Pingjin area will be occupied by the Japanese. Only the lease is the territory of foreigners will not be occupied by the Japanese. At that time, his Tianjin Station will probably also be transferred to secret activities. Only the concession is relatively safer, and it is very suitable as a stronghold to confront the Japanese in secret.

Since he had an idea, Li Yunsheng began to prepare and also understood the situation of renting. He had asked Meng Dong, who was in the gang, to find a suitable entertainment hiding place. In this way, his subordinates entered the concession and had a suitable place to hide. So the next morning, he went to Meng Dong's home.

After meeting Meng Dong, Li Yunsheng asked directly: "Last time, I asked you to find a suitable place as a stronghold, and you can find it."

Meng Dong quickly said, "I found some properties for takeout, but the properties on rent are very expensive now, and I don't feel that they are suitable." After Li Yunsheng's instructions last time, Meng Dong really searched for them, but he didn't find a suitable place for a while, so he didn't contact Li Yunsheng.

Li Yunsheng thought about it and felt that it was nothing to be high. After all, with the outbreak of the war, the prices of real estate in the rental will become higher and higher, and it will be difficult to find a house. It is quite appropriate to buy it now, and the price will be several times more. It is nothing to spend more money now, so he said, "As long as the price is not outrageous, it is best to find a few more, whether it is French or public rental."

Seeing Li Yunsheng say this, Meng Dong said: "In the French Concession, there are now three suitable places, one is the Paramount Ballroom, and the other is the gambling workshop near the dance hall and an office building. These are the industries of the current French consul. It seems that because of the term of office, this person will return to China next year, so he wants to sell the industry. However, these three places are not small, so the price is very high, probably costing more than 100,000 US dollars."

When Li Yunsheng heard this, he thought it was quite suitable. He knew that the place was not only large, but also very good. Although the price is high now, after the war broke out, the property on the lease can be said to be valuable in every inch of land, so he spoke: "It's nothing more expensive. Contact the seller as soon as possible. If you contact me, tell me and buy him."

Seeing Li Yunsheng so determined, Meng Dong nodded and said, "I'll do it later. If it goes well, I can contact you in the morning."

When Li Yunsheng thought that things should be done sooner rather than later, he said, "Then I'll come again at noon. If you contact me, you can buy those industries today." Then he left.

After leaving Meng Dong's house, Li Yunsheng suddenly realized that he had some money in his hand, which was obtained from the traitor Huang Bai. He did not withdraw the money at that time because he was in Tianjin. After coming to Tianjin, he forgot about it because things were busy.

After remembering this incident, Li Yunsheng went to Japan to rent and came directly to Zhengjin Bank. The lobby manager of Zhengjin Bank saw Li Yunsheng wearing Zhongshan outfit and asked in skilled Chinese: "What's wrong with sir?" He was very polite and did not look down on him.

But thinking about it, most of the Chinese people who can come to Zhengjin Bank are traitors, and the Japanese are easy to understand. However, in order to reduce the trouble, Li Yunsheng still said in Japanese: "I have a safe here, and now I need to take out the things inside." After that, he handed over the document.

The manager was not surprised when he heard Li Yunsheng's Japanese. After all, many Japanese people would wear Zhongshan outfits in order to facilitate their visit to the Kuomintang-controlled area. After carefully reading, they took Li Yunsheng to the underground vault and came to a large safe. The manager said to Li Yunsheng: "Your Excellency, this is your safe, please do whatever you want," and then walked away and signaled that he would not look back. It was very professional.

Seeing this, Li Yunsheng opened the safe with a key and password. However, the things inside were very surprised. Even though he was a little prepared and knew that there would be no shortage of money here, Li Yunsheng was still shocked when he saw the things inside. He saw several rows of gold bars, hundreds of them, and there were more than a dozen sleepy US dollars on it. These were a lot of them. However, there were also some jewelry, several calligraphy and paintings and antiques in the safe. Although he didn't know what the value was, it might be worth it to make this traitor.

Seeing these items, Li Yunsheng lamented that his fortune was really good. He earned a lot of income in every action. He put all these things into his prepared leather bag. He thought about it carefully and left some gold bars in the safe, about one hundred. He closed the safe and then left the Zhengjin Bank.

The gold bars left were prepared by Li Yunsheng for Murakami Liuzhu. After all, compared with cash, gold bars are more popular, and it is also very convenient. After leaving the Jin Bank, Li Yunsheng put the things in the space, then went to the French Concession, wandered around it, and took a look at Paramount, as well as nearby gambling houses and office buildings.

At noon, after lunch, Li Yunsheng came to Meng Dong's house. Meng Dong also came back. When he saw Li Yunsheng, he said, "Webmaster, the matter has been completed. I have discussed with the seller. There are a total of 150,000 US dollars in three places, and the procedures can be completed in the afternoon."

Li Yunsheng hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, let's go through the procedures now." Then he went out with Meng Dong. After completing the procedures, he returned to Meng Dong's residence. Then Li Yunsheng said, "The Paramount Dance Hall will be handed over to you in the future. I will arrange some people to help you. They are all new faces and no one will know you. You must control the Changshui Gang as soon as possible."

Li Yunsheng's words did not surprise Meng Dong. After all, he had said these things before, and when he heard someone coming to help him, he said, "Don't worry, webmaster, with Paramount, I will be able to get on the throne soon. Because a few days ago, many people were dissatisfied with the Japanese, and the gang leader was working for the Japanese, so many brothers in the gang were dissatisfied with him, so the time is almost done. As long as I have established the relationship with the police station, the webmaster is sending someone to help me, and I can do it."

Li Yunsheng glanced at Meng Dong, then said, "I remember before you got involved in the gang, I once said that I didn't want to be in the gang for a long time. Since you were about to control the Changshui Gang, you can choose a suitable person and wait a few months to let him take your place so that you can retire successfully."

Meng Dong hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said: "Webmaster, can I continue to stay in the gang? As a secret agent in the station, it is for me. After all, over the past few months, I have become familiar with the situation in the underworld in Tianjin."

After looking at Meng Dong with a different look, Li Yunsheng said, "It seems you have changed your mind again, why is this?" But he was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter in his heart. Judging from Meng Dong's appearance, he seemed to have fallen in love with the life of the gang.

Meng Dong was silent for a moment, then whispered: "My family has come to Tianjin. It was my uncle who informed them, and I can take care of my family in the gang."

It turned out to be for the sake of family, but this situation is normal. After all, it is much safer in the gang than in the secret service, and it is more free. So I nodded and agreed: "Since it was your choice, just don't regret it in the future. I agree. You will stay in the gang in the future and try not to contact people you know in the future. I will also issue a ban on your affairs."

When Meng Dong heard Li Yunsheng agreeing, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding, I am grateful to you."

Li Yunsheng said seriously: "But you have to always remember that you are a soldier of the Party and the country. Even in a gang, you must not forget your mission." Li Yunsheng agreed so happily because if Meng Dong returned to the secret service, he would be just an ordinary operational personnel, and he would be dispensable. It would be better to stay in the gang. The reason why he warned Meng Dong again was that he was afraid that he would be fascinated by the flower world, which would have unpredictable consequences.

Meng Dong quickly said solemnly: "Don't worry, webmaster, I will not forget my identity."

Seeing Meng Dong's attitude, Li Yunsheng was quite satisfied and said softly: "Tianjin has a great underground power and all kinds of information are very well-versed. You must make full use of it. After a few days, I will send a few people to Paramount to find you. These people will be your subordinates. You will form a separate group. If you have any problems in the future, I will also go to Paramount to find you. Unless there is very important news, don't contact me on your own. Even if you come to me, don't let people discover it." The reason why I am so cautious is to consider it in the future. If people know that Meng Dong is related to the Secret Service, then it would be meaningless to set up this stronghold.

After deciding on Meng Dong's affairs, Li Yunsheng said again: "Now I have a lot of medicines in my hands, all of which are good Western medicines. You can find some suitable buyers to take the medicines, but you can't attract others' attention." The drugs on the market are very rare, especially Western medicines that stop bleeding, which is even more rare. So Li Yunsheng is not worried that the medicines cannot be taken, but only worried that it will attract people's covetousness. This will cause trouble. After all, the army needs to use a large amount of medicines, so Li Yunsheng asked Meng Dong to do this. If he sells medicines himself, it would be said that it would make the powerful people think of it.
