Shanghai

The Shili Western Farm on the Huangpu River is more prosperous than before. There are tall Western buildings with different styles. The Huitong Bank Building with French neoclassical architectural style stands majestic. There are 4 floors on the ground of the entire building. The first and second floors are Huitong Bank's business premises, the third floor is the headquarters of the "Guangjitang", the fourth floor is the headquarters of the Normandy Import and Export Company, and the first floor is the vault and equipment premises.

It's early summer

The foreign market where wealthy businessmen gather is full of bright lights and wine. From time to time, graceful girls wearing cheongsams pass by in rickshaws, attracting the attention of passers-by.

In a French cafe on the roadside

Sheng Yeyun, wearing a light-colored suit, walked in with a graceful cheongsam girl in his hands. After his eyes glanced around, he stayed on two blond and blue-eyed foreigners near the roadside, and walked over with his feet.

"The location you chose is really good. Can I sit here? Mr. Borgson."

"Of course, dear Sir Sheng, your arrival will make this place shine brightly."

"You're welcome."

Sheng Yeyun sat down with his female companion, and looked out of the glass window involuntarily. The tall Huitong Bank Building looked magnificent in the evening glow. Several red-headed guards stood at the door, forbidding idle people to approach.

Sheng Yeyun's eyes revealed a complex look and turned around and asked in authentic Dutch, "Mr. Borgson, what have you gained these days?"

Mr. Borgson is about 40 years old, with typical Nordic racial stiff lines on his face. His gray-blue eyes seem to be thousands of miles away, and he vaguely reveals the tough look of a soldier. He is obviously the leader of the two, and his eyes deliberately or unintentionally swept over the female companion beside Sheng Yeyun and pondered without saying a word.

"Please rest assured Mr. Borgson. This stupid woman doesn't know a word, and it's even more impossible to understand the noble Dutch language. This is like a heavenly book for her. She brought her by her only to better cover up her identity." Sheng Yeyun was very sensitive and explained actively.

"Thank you for your reputation, respected Sir Sheng." Borgson's stiff face was relieved, an old-style soldier who regarded the honor of the Netherlands as life.

Sheng Yeyun's words successfully won his favor. The unhappiness that had been felt by the Governor's Office ordered these proud Dutch people to obey the orders of a Chinese man has now disappeared.

"I have to admit that this Mr. Z is an important figure. He has interacted with directors of the Department of the British and French Affairs Bureau, diplomatic envoys from various countries and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, or wealthy businessmen with great wealth. There is almost no simple figure."

Borgson has the usual rigorous style of the Germans. When introducing the situation, he disliked his personal likes and dislikes and tried to introduce the situation objectively. He continued, "Mr. z's bodyguards are very strict, and the protection is not clear. There is no opportunity to take advantage of both the headquarters building and the private manor.

The only chance is probably on the way to the carriage.

The biggest problem is that Mr. Z is riding in a 4-wheel bulletproof armored carriage in the United States, a special carriage dedicated to transporting bank cash and postal expensive parcels in the western United States. It is often equipped with a Gatling heavy machine gun with excellent defense performance.

Moreover, Mr. Z will not be less than 4 gun-bearing bodyguards, and one driver has 5 people. It can be confirmed that they are all skillful gunmen. If you want to assassinate Mr. Z, these difficulties must be overcome.

This puts a very high demand for us.”

After hearing Borgson's words, Sheng Yeyun obviously frowned. The so-called "Mr. Z" is naturally Zhu Wei, the general manager of Normandy Trading Company, the head of Guangji Hall, and the general manager arranged by the Earl of Queensland in the mainland. He is one of the capable subordinates who are supportive.

Once the assassination is successful, Queensland's trade and immigration work will undoubtedly fall into chaos. Before the appropriate successor completely smooths out the work in the mainland, extremely important trade and immigration will fall into a pause and disorder, leaving the Dutch the opportunity to further stir up trouble.

This could anger the Earl of Queensland and make unwise decisions.

"Now I want to know, are you sure to complete this action?" Sheng Yeyun asked.

"Of course, there is no doubt about this." Borgson answered decisively, with a hint of pride on his cold and hard face. He looked around the cafe. There was no one on the tables around him. The cafe waitress was also at the bar in the distance, so she lowered her voice. "Please rest assured, respectful Sir Sheng, we made two large sticky explosive packs, each containing 30 pounds of high explosives, which can be firmly stuck to the carriage. As long as the explosion exploded with a "bang", it can kill the horses and everyone in the carriage, and even destroy the hard armored iron plate. However, our gunmen ambushed around and will not give the bodyguard a chance to destroy."

"That's good. If you are ready, please act as soon as possible. The abominable Queenslanders have captured Sanmalinda. We must give a loud counterattack. I think this big firework is the best gift to the Earl of Queensland, and it will definitely make him heartbroken." Sheng Yeyun was quite impatient.

Now Sheng Yeyun is already the baron conferred by His Majesty King William III of the Netherlands. He is the second most important among the Chinese in the East Indies and is highly trusted by the Governor.

As long as you do this, you can take up the post of "Kapitan" after returning to Batavia. This is a real power, which can help the Dutch master collect taxes, maintain public order, suppress rebellions, manage the people of one side, and become the unyielding local emperor of Batavia.

"We have already prepared the action. The only thing that makes people worry is... Mr. Z's luxury carriage often takes some guests. Our actions will hurt them by mistake. If they are envoys from various countries to foreign countries, they will cause unnecessary international disputes. We may not be able to bear this responsibility." Borgson looked very hesitant.

"Are you sure you can wait until he goes out alone?" Sheng Yeyun asked.

"It's probably difficult. Mr. Z uses a carriage in the morning without any rules. We cannot ambush the people in advance on the road that must be passed. Through long observations, we found that after get off work in the evening, Mr. Z usually takes a carriage to Nanjing East Road. You know that it is a place where Westerners gather, high-end hotels and private clubs gather, attend high-end private cocktail parties, or participate in high-class activities and business activities. There is an excellent place to set up an ambush in the middle, so that he can kill him in one fell swoop. We are very sure of this." Speaking of this, Borgson shrugged helplessly; "But we can't be sure who is still sitting in the carriage? Because there are too many Westerners in the entire Shanghai, we cannot know each of them."

The problem was thrown before Sheng Yeyun, and he smiled sly, "Mr. Borgson, according to the order of the Governor, your special operations team will be responsible for the actions. I cannot provide you with a better opinion on this, but I would like to remind you that the Governor's Office is now facing tremendous pressure. We must do something to distract the attention of the people in the country. If you are ready, please act immediately, and leave the rest to God to arrange."

"Maybe you're right, then we'll be ready to take action right away."

"That's great, then I'm waiting for good news for your victory."

"Stay tuned." Borgson stared at Sheng Yeyun deeply, turned his head and said to the young man beside him; "Notify the action team and take action immediately."

"As for orders, sir." The young man nodded slightly, stood up and walked out of the cafe, waved to a rickshaw waiting on the roadside, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The cafe returned to silence. The two men and women present were quietly drinking the coffee in the cup, and their eyes looked towards Huitong Bank Building from time to time through the glass.
