1928: The rise of giant merchants

Dai Li?

Is it the Dai Li in my memory?

Ye Luo quickly retrieved his memory, and a lot of information about Dai Li suddenly appeared in front of him one by one.

In April 1927, the Nationalist Government launched a comprehensive crackdown on bandits and declared an underground organization illegal.

Later, Dai Li, who was still in the military academy, exposed more than 20 underground organization members among Huangpu classmates and started his career.

In the autumn of the same year, the cavalry battalion moved from Guangdong City to Suzhou City. Dai Li followed Hu Jing'an, director of the political department of the school's enlisted student department (responsible for the principal's protection). He then left the army and went to Shanghai, where he met the principal, Dai Jitao and others at the stock exchange. , and gain trust.

In 1928, Dai Li began to take charge of intelligence work for the principal full-time. The recently rumored National Government Intelligence Office may be related to him.

But Ye Luo remembered that Dai Li established the National Government's first spy organization, the Investigation and Communications Group, in 1930. The ten-member team he established was deeply trusted by the principal.

Because of this, although he knew that Dai Li was hiding on the beach, he didn't take it to heart.

First, with Dai Li's ability, it is not easy to find his hiding place, and it is even more difficult to get rid of the principal's confidant.

First, although Dai Li did a lot of bad things with the favor of the principal, especially against the activities of underground organizations, he was also one of the anti-Japanese people. If he were eliminated, the Wang Puppet Government would have no one to take care of it.

Ye Luo was just curious about why Dai Li came to Paramount.

He did not remember that he had sent him an invitation.

"Dai Li? I don't seem to know you, friend." Ye Luo looked at him with a smile, but his eyes looked up and down unabashedly.

"It's normal for the famous second young master to not recognize me, a nobody like me." Dai Li smiled and took out his business card from the pocket of his tunic jacket. "I currently work for the Intelligence Department of Shanghai Bund City Hall. I used to be the Suzhou City Cavalry Battalion. Battalion Commander Hu Jingan’s guards.”

"Oh. Investigator Dai has something to do with me?" Ye Luo looked at him doubtfully.

The Intelligence Department of the Shanghai Bund City Hall is the only department that does not need to accept orders from Zhang Dingyao. It belongs only to the Government Intelligence Department of the Jinling National Government and should be the predecessor of the investigation communications team.

Being targeted by such a ruthless person, Ye Luo did not dare to let down his guard.

"It's a bit of a trivial matter, but now I have to deal with another trivial matter at hand." Dai Li's voice was gentle, and he did not show any timidity even when facing Ye Luo. He glanced at Lin Kanghou and Chen Ruisheng who were walking towards here. , seemed to understand something, and turned to look at Fusheng, who was being handcuffed by his own people behind his back.

"Uncle! Director Chen!" Fusheng shouted at the top of his voice.

Seeing that Ye Luo was also there, Lin Kanghou's expression changed instantly and he walked over quickly.

Seeing that the savior was coming, Fu Sheng no longer gave in. He looked at Dai Li with a grin and was about to speak when suddenly there was a loud snap.

Lin Kanghou raised his hand and gave him a big mouth!

Fusheng was beaten a little confused.

"Idiot! You usually mess around, but how dare you come to the second young master's banquet to mess around? Come, follow me back to your sister's house!" After Lin Kanghou scolded his brother-in-law, he reached out to pull him, but was stopped by The smiling Dai Li was stopped.

"Friend, what do you mean?" Lin Kanghou glanced at the handcuffs on Fusheng and others' hands and asked indifferently, "They are police officers from the Customs Department. Is there any misunderstanding? Why are you cuffing them?" "

"Misunderstanding?" Dai Li looked at him jokingly.

Lin Kanghou was not sure where the young man who had just talked with the second young master came from, so he pulled Chen Ruisheng over and said with a smile: "This is Chen Ruisheng, the director of the Customs Department. I think it is a misunderstanding."

"Oh, the famous Director Chen Ruisheng." Dai Li smiled even brighter, and immediately told what Fusheng said on the dock.

Hearing that his brother-in-law was blatantly belittling the Director of the Inspection Department and the Customs Department, Lin Kanghou felt a little embarrassed.

He looked at Chen Ruisheng, who had an ugly face and was obviously unhappy.

"Director Chen, is this true?" Dai Li asked.

Chen Ruisheng looked at Lin Kanghou and then at Ye Luo, feeling speechless for a moment.

You say you are not afraid of the General Chamber of Commerce. The two big mountains of the General Chamber of Commerce are here. This is a face-to-face provocation. You say you are very afraid. Then where will the majesty of the director be placed in the future?

Ye Luo looked at them and probably understood the whole story.

I don’t know how this Fusheng provoked Dai Li, the great plague god, and came directly to his door to taunt him.

He also understood Chen Ruisheng's difficulties.

In fact, in Shanghai, there are very few important military and political officials who dare to say that they are not afraid of the General Chamber of Commerce.

After all, it is not the National Government that pays them wages, provides them with political funds, and provides them with various human resources, but Ye Luo and his group of businessmen, the Gods of Wealth, who have great hands and eyes.

Seeing the awkward situation, a voice broke the silence.

"Everyone, please calm down. With so many people watching here, don't you think our city hall is not embarrassing enough?" Zhang Dingyao walked over quickly with a gloomy face, "Let's all disperse. If anything happens, we'll talk about it later. Don't disturb A Luo. Dinner!"

His words were directed at everyone, but they were actually aimed at Dai Li.

Zhang Dingyao, who was currently the leader, came forward, so Dai Li naturally stopped attacking. He chuckled lightly and asked his subordinates to let Fu Sheng and others go. Then he glanced at Chen Ruisheng and then at Ye Luo.

"Second Young Master, I heard that you are very familiar with Tan Si from the Pier Gang?" Dai Lixiao asked.

Ye Luo raised his eyebrows and replied: "It's okay, what's wrong?"

"I haven't seen many people from the Pier Gang recently. I wonder if the second young master knows the whereabouts of Tan Si and others? To be honest, Tan Si is a wanted criminal designated by the National Government. The arrest warrant will be issued soon. Just in case. It's not good to run away." Dai Li seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Ye Luo opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion: "What did Fourth Master Tan commit? Has the Nationalist Government issued a wanted order? Sorry, I really don't know about this. Fourth Master Tan and I haven't cooperated for a long time. I'm sorry I can't Provide useful clues."

"Really? I thought that the second young master has great powers and should be very well-informed. In that case, I won't bother you. By the way, if you have any news, please let me know." Dai Li clasped his fists and smiled.

Ye Luo nodded: "That's natural. Being a wanted criminal by the Nationalist Government means that he has committed a serious matter. If I know his movements, I will report it to the Intelligence Department as soon as possible."

"Then thank you so much, Second Young Master." Dai Li put on his military cap, and before leaving, he suddenly turned around and smiled, "Oh, by the way, the same goes for Feng Shaoshan, Zhao Jinqing and others."

"Are they too?" Ye Luo was even more surprised.

"Yes, forgive me for not being more specific." Dai Li took a deep look at him and said calmly, "The second young master is a person who does great things, so don't make any mistakes."

"I accept your good wishes." Ye Luo made a gesture of invitation.

After Dai Li left, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
