Chapter 29 Manager Lu, the future acting director!
Late night
Lin Wan walked along the quiet street, her beautiful hair swaying gently in the night breeze.
In the dimly lit environment, even the air seemed to be filled with unease.
The streets were almost deserted, making them seem exceptionally quiet.
My mind involuntarily conjured up images of modern Shanghai at night, the bustling streets, and the beautiful landmarks.
According to Chen Huai'an, the nightlife only begins at 11 p.m.
The stark difference caused a complex emotion to flash in his large eyes.
"stop!"
Suddenly, two former Shanghai policemen in black uniforms walked towards them.
Holding a police baton, he looked fierce and menacing.
The two men, one tall and one short, approached and, by the light of the streetlamp, could clearly see the delicate face of the woman who had been stopped.
Especially after applying modern light makeup, her appearance has been elevated to another level!
A hint of amazement flashed in the wide eyes of the two policemen.
I deliberately stopped her just now because I saw a beautiful young woman walking on the street.
Their unexpectedly stunning beauty, even surpassing that of celebrities, truly amazed them.
The short man's lecherous gaze swept over him, and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing wandering the streets so late at night?"
When questioning her, he even stretched out his short, stubby hand, trying to touch the girl's arm.
Lin Wan frowned slightly and immediately took a step back to create distance.
A deep look of disgust flashed in his large eyes.
They just injected Wang Hai with penicillin in Lao Zhang's safe house.
After observing for 45 minutes and confirming that there was no allergic reaction, they left.
Feeling sentimental, I decided to walk around alone instead of taking a rickshaw.
Unexpectedly, I was stopped and questioned by two police officers.
The voice replied indifferently, "Shanghai has already lifted the night curfew. Which law did I violate by taking a walk on the street at night?"
In 37, the Nationalist government's failure to reform the gold yuan system triggered social unrest.
Therefore, the government issued a curfew order to prevent people from gathering at night to exchange gold and other similar activities.
However, that was only temporary, and the curfew order has long been lifted.
It's not illegal to wander the streets at 11 p.m. or even in the middle of the night.
Of course, this is only theoretical.
People in Shanghai are living in fear and anxiety, with undercurrents surging and the world in a state of instability.
For these police officers, arresting criminals is a thankless task, and they are too lazy to do it.
They just find a few people to take the blame each month to prove that the case is being handled, and that's how they get by.
This is how the police have handled cases since the concession era.
In order to make money more easily, the police even cooperated with gangs, allowing gang members to act as police officers and collect money.
Although the concessions have disappeared, those police officers from back then have only changed their appearance.
They remain in their positions without doing any work, spending their days bullying ordinary people and indulging in their power.
Rumors are spreading everywhere that Shanghai is falling, and the upper echelons have already sold off their belongings and used their connections to flee to the south.
Those whose hands are stained with blood can only hope to make more contributions so that they can be taken away with them during the retreat.
At this time, capturing underground party members would be the greatest achievement.
They also worked even harder during night patrols.
If they see someone suspicious, they'll question them for a bit.
However, this time the two men's investigation was purely because they saw that the girl was pretty and wanted to take advantage of her for personal gain.
They would threaten and extort men, and if they encountered pretty young girls, they would grope and take advantage of them. They had done similar things countless times!
If the other party were a naive young girl, she might actually be intimidated by the uniforms the two were wearing.
But Lin Wan was an underground party member who had studied abroad and broadened her horizons.
How could they be intimidated by two scoundrels?
A simple rhetorical question left the two of them speechless.
The tall man frowned, realizing that the idea was tricky.
He shouted sternly, "Loitering isn't illegal, but I suspect you're a member of the underground Communist Party, and I'm going to search you!"
This incredibly beautiful young girl is dressed fashionably, and the small bag she's carrying seems to be quite expensive.
Adhering to the principle of not leaving empty-handed, even if one cannot gain an advantage, one should still take the opportunity to make some money.
Based on their experience, if a woman is walking alone at night, she will cooperate obediently if you scare her a little.
Over the years, they have extorted a considerable amount of money from female factory workers who have finished their night shifts using similar methods.
The shorter man grinned, revealing a lewd smile, and stretched out his hands to search the person.
He had just reached out his hand when he saw the woman opposite him come to greet him.
The graceful figure moved swiftly to the side and kicked the shorter man in the stomach.
"Ouch!" The shorter man didn't even have time to react before he was kicked, and he screamed as he stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground.
He clutched his stomach with both hands, his face turning pale with pain.
"You dare assault a police officer?" The tall man's expression changed drastically, and he raised his baton to strike.
Unfortunately, he's gotten used to swaggering around all these years, and even when he takes action, he habitually raises his baton high to intimidate people.
Before he even had a chance to swing his sword, he felt a chill on his neck as a sharp knife was pressed against it.
Clang!
The tall guy was quite straightforward; knowing he'd messed with someone tough, he threw away his baton without saying a word.
He frantically begged for mercy: "Heroine, spare my life! Heroine, spare my life!"
The more arrogant they were when they were bullying others, the more humble they are now.
They didn't even dare to utter a single strong threat.
Who knows if this agile woman is a member of the underground Communist Party? If we anger her, she might kill us both, leaving us no chance to even cry.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. If he had known that the opponent was a skilled fighter, he would not have tried to take advantage of the situation.
The shorter man lay on the ground, growling angrily, "We're from the Laozha branch. Do you even know who our branch chief is?"
His voice sounded fierce but he was actually weak; bringing up his backstage connections was just a last-ditch effort to save face.
Not far away, some gang members were watching the commotion. If word got out that he had been beaten up by a woman and was too afraid to even speak, he would never be able to stay in this area again.
Of course, if a tall guy had a knife to his neck, he probably wouldn't dare to say anything harsh.
Lin Wan remained calm, a hint of disdain flashing in her large eyes.
She smoothed her hair with her left hand and said casually, "I don't know who the head of the Laozha branch is, but I am friends with Manager Lu from the General Administration's consumer cooperation partner."
She said that Manager Lu was a very influential figure in Shanghai!
He joined the Public Works Bureau Police Station in his early years and served as a head constable and head of the security section in the Jing'an Temple Police Station, Laozha Police Station, and Putuo Road Police Station.
In 34, he served as the Chief Inspector and the Manager of the Consumer Cooperative of the General Administration.
Lin Wan had dealt with him quite a bit and even wrote reports to improve his image. The two were friends and she was someone he wanted to develop a relationship with.
At this moment, it is he himself who is contacting him on behalf of the organization!
In the future world, I even specifically looked up this person's information.
Knowing that Manager Lu would replace Mao Sen as the bureau chief in two months, and then cooperate with the underground party in an uprising at the police station.
really
When the two men heard Manager Lu's name, their faces turned deathly pale.
