Chapter 118 Wish Failed
After searching Tang Jichang's bedroom, Jiang Shiyuan took his comrades to the study.
Tang Jichang's study is even more luxurious than his bedroom, and is filled with all kinds of precious antique calligraphy and paintings.
Soon, she and Lao Huang discovered some more important clues.
It turned out that in addition to trafficking in human beings and opium, Tang Jichang also secretly colluded with Japanese pirates and provided them with economic intelligence about Shanghai.
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but clench his palms and said with gritted teeth: "Tang Jichang, that old traitor!"
"Humph, his death really doesn't deserve a pity!" Old Huang at the side pounded the mahogany desk with both hands, saying indignantly.
Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang collected all the evidence and antiques and calligraphy and paintings, preparing to hand them over to the party organization after returning.
After searching the study, Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang went to the basement to find Fang Lansheng.
Fang Lansheng's harvest was even greater. They found a large secret warehouse in the basement.
The warehouse was filled with a variety of supplies, including food, cloth, sulfa drugs, and some weapons and ammunition.
"It seems that Tang Jichang has been prepared for the Japanese invasion of Shanghai!" Fang Lansheng said coldly as he looked at the warehouse full of goods.
Old Huang asked in confusion: "Yes, is he trying to hoard important war materials and then make a fortune during the national disaster?"
"Humph, no matter what this old traitor wants to do, it's too late now!"
Jiang Shiyuan said with indignation that he asked his comrades to count the materials in the warehouse together, then register them all and prepare to hand them over to the Party organization.
In a small secret room in the basement, they found several imprisoned women and children.
These beautiful women and children were carefully selected by Tang Jichang, who planned to sell them to Southeast Asia at a high price this week.
"Beasts! What a bunch of beasts!" Jiang Shiyuan looked at the women and children huddled in the corner and trembled with anger.
With the help of their comrades, the women and children finally regained their freedom.
"Thank you, thank you!" All the rescued people knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Shiyuan and others to express their gratitude.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The comrades helped them up one by one and comforted them repeatedly: "Don't worry, the Party organization will definitely find a way to send you home!"
The search operation at Tang Mansion lasted until late at night.
Jiang Shiyuan and others secretly brought all of Tang Jichang's ill-gotten gains and a lot of evidence of his crimes back to Sui'an Dingding.
The large amount of supplies in the warehouse could only be stored there for the time being, while the women and children who had just been rescued were temporarily placed in a hotel run by the party organization.
In the following week, comrades from the Party organization followed the evidence and destroyed several opium storage dens in Shanghai, and rescued a large number of women and children who had not yet been sold to other places.
Afterwards, the party organization took over the Tianxiang Teahouse in the Chinese Concession and the Tang Mansion in the French Concession in accordance with the legal procedures of the Republic of China.
Tianxiang Teahouse will be built into a fixed contact point for the party organization in the Chinese community in the future.
The Tang Mansion was converted into an orphanage to house the homeless women and children who had been rescued.
The evil boss Tang Jichang and the second in command Sun Sheng were also secretly executed by the party organization after they were unable to provide more clues.
The Hydra organization's mopping-up operation has now come to an end, and the party organization has reaped a great harvest this time!
As for Song Heqing, he had been waiting for Jiang Shiyuan's reply for a long time and was worried that the cooked duck would fly away, so he became extremely anxious.
"Damn it! Why hasn't this Yuan guy given me any news yet?"
Song Heqing was supposed to be resting today. He threw the newspaper in his hand onto the coffee table, his delicate eyebrows full of anxiety.
A week has passed since the last time I met Jiang Shiyuan, but he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no news from him at all.
"Is this Yuan Cang reliable?"
Song Heqing couldn't help but curse under his breath, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He paced the living room anxiously, various possibilities running through his mind.
"No, I have to go find Sun Sheng and ask about the situation right away!"
He quickly changed his clothes and drove to Tianxiang Teahouse.
However, when he stepped into the teahouse with great anticipation, he found that the scene before him was completely different from what he remembered.
The originally quaint teahouse now has a brand new look.
The teahouse was bustling with people coming and going, but the familiar faces from the past were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, sir, are you here to drink tea or buy tea?" A young shopkeeper came up to me enthusiastically.
"I'm looking for your boss, Mr. Sun." Song Heqing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said in a deep voice.
"Boss Sun? You must have come to the wrong place, right?" The shopkeeper scratched his head in confusion. "Our boss's surname is Wang!"
Song Heqing was shocked and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"What about your previous boss? Where did he go?" Song Heqing asked persistently.
"I heard that the original owner had some family problems, so he sold the teahouse to Boss Wang at a low price and returned to his hometown overnight."
"Change? What happened?" Song Heqing asked with a frown.
"Oh, I don't know about that. I've only taken over this teahouse for two days." The shopkeeper shook his head, indicating that he was unable to help.
Song Heqing was suddenly confused and realized that things might not be as simple as he had just heard.
He left the teahouse in a hurry, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Song Heqing couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that something happened to the Hydra organization?"
"Damn it! If the Hydra organization is wiped out by its enemies or the authorities, then my business of reselling fake cultural relics with the consul will be ruined, right?"
When Song Heqing thought about this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
A big deal worth one million dollars was about to be in his hands, but suddenly something went wrong. How could he be willing to accept this?
But he has always been in direct contact with Sun Sheng, the second-in-command of Hydra. No matter how anxious he is now, it will be of no avail.
He could only place his hopes on Mr. Yuan, but he hadn't discussed it with the boss of Inoue Mansion yet, so it didn't mean he really didn't want to buy it.
Song Heqing is now extremely fortunate that he still has a high-quality replica of the imperial seal that was originally given to him by Sun Sheng.
At that time, he could use this fake to fool the Japanese people in Inoue Mansion.
However, what Song Heqing didn't know was that his good wishes were destined to fail.
The Hydra organization has been completely destroyed, and Jiang Shiyuan will no longer play along with him...
