1928: The rise of giant merchants

The Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding along, with six Ford V8s clearing the way in front and behind it. Anyone who is familiar with license plates knows that this super luxury car with the license plate number "8888" is the car of the second young master Ye Luo. No one dares to Block at the intersection.

It was already evening, at the peak of the flow of people, and the job recruitment booths outside Shanghai Railway Station were crowded with people, all of whom were migrant workers who wanted to find a stable job here.

"Second Young Master, the intersection ahead is blocked by people from the Songhu Police Department." Shi Jianqiao braked and looked at the besieged station entrance and frowned slightly, "Why is the road blocked at this time?"

She was about to get out of the car to check the situation. Several police officers in uniforms and equipped with firearms, together with detectives from the public concession patrol room, were cleaning up the surrounding stalls. Soon the team arrived in front of Ye Luo's motorcade.

Dong dong dong——

The leading police officer knocked on the driver's seat window and signaled Shi Jianqiao to roll down the window.

"Hey, the road here has been closed, didn't you see? Who is in the car? Don't you know that our cordon cannot be crossed at will?"

The police officers were aggressive and full of scorn, which fit Ye Luo's stereotype of the Songhu Police Department under Wang Hu's rule.

During the Jinling National Government, both the police departments and the garrison headquarters in various places were more black than white internally, and some members were even worse than the Chinese agents in the patrol room.

"Tsk, what's wrong with a woman driving? It's not enough to be driven in a big car at night, but you have to drive yourself during the day?"

When the police officer saw that Shi Jianqiao didn't reply, he immediately yelled out. Just when he was about to forcefully open the car door, a thick hand suddenly grabbed his neck and dragged him away from the car window. past.

After a while, a familiar face appeared at the car window.

"Second Young Master, are you okay?" Shen Da, who had used Ye Luo's power to become the Chinese Chief Inspector, stuck his head over and asked.

Only then did Shi Jianqiao look back at him: "Chief Inspector Shen, what's going on ahead? The road is closed during peak hours? The second young master is preparing to go to the train station."

"Second Young Master, you want to go inside the station?" Shen Da hunched over and tried to look at the back row, "The train station is not peaceful now. A killer who came from outside took hostages and shot several people to death. Songhu Police Department The losers couldn't catch him, so they had to disperse the crowd and block the road."

"The killer?" Ye Luo then spoke, "Who is the hostage?"

Being able to get the Songhu Police Department and the patrol room to take action at the same time, Ye Luo suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

Shen Da smiled awkwardly and sighed: "Who did the killer rob? He robbed Boss Feng's only daughter, Miss Feng Chengcheng! After the accident, Boss Feng came to the train station immediately. He initiated a relationship, and both black and white were involved. give face."

"What's going on inside now?" Ye Luo asked.

"That's the problem." Shen Da hesitated, and Ye Luo opened the car door and let him go into the back seat to talk.

"Not long ago, Boss Feng arrived in a fierce manner. Given his status, it was impossible for the killer to be ignorant and insist on taking Miss Feng Chengcheng to the death. Who knew that Boss Feng only saw the killer as soon as he arrived at the train station? Convenience suddenly became irritable, pointed at Boss Feng and said that he had no moral principles and that she would never believe anything he said again!"

Shen Da looked at Shi Jianqiao in the row in front of him and did not continue.

Ye Luo waved his hand: "It's okay, Inspector Shen, just tell me, Jianqiao is not an outsider."

"After a fierce argument, we found out that the killer was hired by Boss Feng himself!" A wonderful expression appeared on Shen Da's face, "Boss Feng asked his men to find the killer, hoping that he could kidnap Boss Chen Lianshan's only son Chen on the train. Hanlin. Unexpectedly, after several transmissions, the killer found the wrong target and instead kidnapped Miss Feng Chengcheng who was taking the train back to Shanghai with Chen Lianshan!"

"That boss of Chen's gauze factory in the French Concession?" Ye Luo had a slight impression of Chen Lianshan.

"That's right. The root of this matter is actually the French Consul General Mr. Verdi. After Mr. Verdi and Miss Fan Juli got married, he wanted to give the Fan family a piece of real estate, so he took a fancy to the land of Chen's Gauze Factory, but Chen Lianshan didn't want to Selling it to foreigners at a low price will fall on Boss Feng’s head.”

The other party was Ye Luo, so Shen Da stopped hiding anything and told all the causes and consequences.

Feng Jingyao also wanted to have real power in the public affairs bureau like Huo Tianhong and others, but the only one he could rely on was Verdi.

Chen Lianshan is a typical patriotic Chinese businessman who is very hostile to foreigners. Let alone low prices, he is unwilling to sell the gauze factory to foreigners even at high prices!

He should feel that as he is also Chinese and that he is well-known in the business community of the French Concession, Feng Jingyao should not dare to do anything blatantly.

But he still overestimated the character of these rogue tycoons.

Feng Jingyao wanted to use his only son's life in exchange for land, which was not unkind.

The funny thing is that this order was passed down layer by layer, and even the professional killers missed the target. It can be seen that the efficiency of work during the Republic of China was extremely low, and mistakes were the norm.

"Now that the killer has discovered that he has mistaken the wrong person and has also kidnapped the big boss's daughter, no matter what Boss Feng says, he will never let her go easily." Ye Luo smiled, "Let me guess, Feng The boss must have promised a lot, but the killer probably didn’t even believe the punctuation mark of what he said.”

"Indeed." Shen Da thought Ye Luo's statement was interesting and weird, but very correct.

"Jianqiao, drive in. It seems that if I don't take action, Boss Feng and you will be in trouble." Ye Luo gently patted the back of Shi Jianqiao's seat.

He had already spoken, and Shen Da naturally did not dare to stop him.

With Shen Da in the car, the Rolls-Royce Phantom traveled smoothly and soon arrived inside the train station.

At this time, all the people in the station were completely cleared. It was obviously the busiest time, but the train station was as silent as a ghost town.

A large group of police officers and detectives were extremely busy, and the killer who hijacked Feng Chengcheng was holding Feng Chengcheng with one hand, confronting hundreds of people alone at the platform entrance.

If he hadn't been worried about hurting Feng Chengcheng, Shen Da would have asked them to shoot the killer to death.

It doesn't matter to Shen Da if a hostage dies, but if such things are not handled well, his prestige in the police station will be reduced. If the news reaches the ears of the British again, then he, the chief detective, may not even be able to do his job.

But if the hostage is Feng Chengcheng, it's different.

In Feng Jingyao's eyes, all the people present together were less important than Feng Chengcheng.

"Inspector Shen, please be sure to ask for the second young master. Why are you here?!" Feng Jingyao walked towards him surrounded by a group of younger brothers.

"Boss Feng, leave this matter to me." Ye Luo looked towards the platform and winked at Shi Jianqiao.
