Chapter 495.

“Director Lin, can I take it that you are threatening us?” Cheng Mo laughed and asked directly.

“Mister Lin has always admired Chief Little Cheng and wants to be friends with him.” Lin Shiqun said, “This is just good advice, not a threat.”

“Director Lin is really skillful, Cheng Mou admires him.” Cheng Mo nodded, “Although No. 76 has a strong and talented army, my patrol room is not bad either, Director Lin, who will profit from the confrontation between our two families, have you thought about that?”

Lin Shiqun didn’t move on the surface, but still sighed with emotion in his heart, this Cheng Mo’s reaction is really fast, he just threatened not to change the rules, there will be another conflict, as soon as he changed his tone of voice, the other party pointed it out, if No. 76 is against the Patrol Room, wouldn’t it make the Junta Blue Clothes Society smile with joy?

They dreamed of such a situation.

Can he accuse that such a practice by the Bureau of Public Works is actually sheltering the Blue Coat Society members operating in the Concession?

Obviously not. If you say that, you have to have evidence?

Without evidence, people say you slander, how do you answer?

This is also for Cheng Mo such a gun in the hands of people, hold the real power of the people may be calm to sit down and talk, another person, Lin Shiqun simply will not pay attention to.

Reasoning? Reasoning is to rely on strength, no strength, who will reason with you?

“How is the safety of my people entering the Concession guaranteed?”

“Why would Director Lin’s people enter the Concession?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.

“Many of my men have homes in the Concession, isn’t it normal for them to go in and out of the Concession, and don’t I, myself, have a home on Yuyuan Road in the Concession?”

“In that case, Director Lin, we can make certain concessions.” Cheng Mo said, “You can submit a list, we can call it a whitelist, people on these lists carrying weapons can enter the Concession and are exempt from inspection, how about it?”

Lin Shiqun frowned, although it was much better than freely carrying weapons into the tenement, but then wouldn’t that give the patrol room control over the number of armed people entering the tenement from No. 76?

This would later become 76 having a request from the patrol room.

“It’s impossible for us to have only these people entering the Tenement every time we do business, providing a list is impossible, but Chief Cheng, let’s be flexible, can we be issued some blank gun permits, and our personnel with such gun permits can enter the Tenement without inspection?”

“Special gun permit?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. However, if we issue special gun permits, then when we cross the barrier, we will have to register, is this acceptable to Director Lin?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.

“It’s already exempted, why do we need to register?”

“Even the ID card issued by the city hall can be faked, why can’t the special gun permit?” Cheng Mo said, “It’s also a necessary measure, in case someone dabbles in the water and passes the test, it’s easier to check, isn’t it?”

“It can be registered.” Lin Shiqun nodded, this reason could not be refuted, in case someone impersonated someone from the 76th, although it was extremely unlikely to happen, what kind of organization was the 76th, any kind of thing was possible.

“Chief Cheng, what is the number of blank special gun permits that can be issued from your side?” Lin Shiqun asked.

“Ten.”

“Ten is too few, at least fifty!”

“Director Lin, what kind of mission requires you to send fifty people armed with guns into the Concession in one breath, and what do you want to do?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.

“Then Chief Xiao Cheng’s ten is too few, if I come for a trip, there are more than ten people?”

“After subtracting the driver, you only brought eight bodyguards with you, and with the addition of Brigadier Wu and Commissioner Wang, that’s only eleven people with guns.” Cheng Mo said, “I’ll double it for you, how about twenty blank special gun permits, not counting the Japanese Military Police’s faction if there are any.” Lin Shiqun nodded slightly, the gendarmerie gives dispatches, that’s only issued when there’s an action, and it’s to notify the patrol room in advance, and the action to arrest someone is the responsibility of the patrol room, whether it’s the Japanese gendarmes or the 76th’s people are just assisting.

But it was sort of an opening, and as long as there was a Japanese gendarmerie dispatch in place, you could carry weapons into the Concession.

It was a workaround.

Military Police dispatches weren’t issued casually, but with Lin Shiqun’s connections to Shibuya, it was still easy to get a few dispatches.

Cheng Mo’s bottom line was that the 76 secret agents as well as the staff of the Wang pseudo-government who entered the concession must be inspected, and this power could not be given up.

On this basis, to give each other some “exemption” privileges is no harm, She Aizhen just encountered a love of the real Inspector Jackson, other people, simply turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye, would have been allowed to pass.

This kind of people with guns into the tenant, also really for self-protection, the possibility of active trouble is very small, they cherish their lives very much.

“Mr. Cheng, five more, twenty-five?” Lin Shiqun also knew that if he couldn’t wipe out his face at this time, the one who would suffer would be himself.

In fact, he was already mentally prepared for not being able to reap the benefits from Cheng Mo’s side.

Cheng Mo considered for a while and nodded his head to agree to control the number of people, in fact, five more or five less sheets was nothing to him.

He understood that Lin Shiqun had to go back and give an explanation to the people below him, and if there were no substantial benefits, he would lose his prestige in No. 76.

This prestige thing was very hard to build up, but to lose it, it was easy.

“Then let’s sign an agreement.” Cheng Mo said, “Black and white, so everyone can rest assured, no?”

“It’s fine.” Lin Shiqun nodded, he was also afraid that the British would not recognize the agreement, signing it in black and white would be a guarantee for both sides.

The model agreement was quickly drawn up, handed over to the two men to read and then revised, finalized, and then had two copies transcribed.

The agreement was written in Chinese, English and Japanese.

In between, there was a casual lunch.

Lin Shiqun rarely ate out, especially in unfamiliar places, and he was careful about food safety, but he made an exception.

However, the meal was a bit dull, because there was Wu Sibao on the table, and Gao Xinbao who was accompanying the guests, even with Wang Miao who was lubricating from it, he didn’t heat up the atmosphere.

But in general, eating is quite harmonious.

In the afternoon, the formal signature, Cheng Mo and Lin Shiqun with a private seal, the agreement to go back, but also the formal use of the seal, and then there is an exchange of ceremonies, the agreement is considered to be officially effective.

After all the procedures were completed, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

Lin Shiqun drove back to No. 76, while Cheng Mo also brought the freshly baked agreement back to the Bureau of Public Works building, where he had to report to General Manager Philip and President Felton.

After President Felicity Dalton heard Cheng Mo’s report and then read the signed agreement, he immediately revealed a delighted smile, “Cheng, you did a very good job, no wonder Mr. Tony Vice President Dong appreciated and recommended you to the Discipline Committee!”

“Thank you President Fei, these are what I should do.” Cheng Mo humbly said.

“Since this agreement was personally signed by Lin Shiqun of No. 76, then he naturally recognized it, there is no problem, the solution you gave maintains the dignity of our Bureau of Public Works without losing any leeway for the other party, it can be said to be a perfect solution to this trouble.” Felix Tun said, “I will write a letter of recommendation to the Police Department, recommending you to be promoted to Inspector General of the Political Unit of the Police Department.”
