Seeing Gan Mingxuan's expression, the four action team members couldn't help but look at each other. They knew their own situation. The anti-traitor feat that the people around them were talking about had nothing to do with them. It was all done by the intelligence section of the Second Operations Division of Shanghai. Those agents had been infiltrating for longer than them, were more powerful, and had stronger combat capabilities, but they had only ever heard of them and never seen them. They knew very little about these colleagues.
Faced with Gan Mingxuan's praise, the four team members felt quite embarrassed, but they couldn't tell him directly yet. After all, the existence of the Intelligence Section of the Second Operations Division couldn't be revealed. In addition, with Gan Mingxuan's admiring gaze, the four team members were also honored. Sun Xin could only nod to indicate his acquiescence.
Gan Mingxuan's spirits lifted immediately. He had always had great confidence in the Shanghai Station's strength. He had been robbed, but within two days, Wang Hanmin had taken the lives of two thugs and driven the dance hall owner to flee in disgrace. This gave him an idea of the Shanghai Station's formidable power in the concession. Now, hearing the discussions around him, he was even more confident. He thought that with the protection of the Shanghai Station's agents, he was fearless in the French Concession and no longer needed to act so cautiously.
Just then, a group of people walked in from outside the hall. They looked around and walked towards Gan Mingxuan and the others.
Leading the group was Chen Jiaping, with his new favorite An Ruwei by his side and two bodyguards behind him.
Chen Jiaping came from the Green Gang and had been involved in Shanghai since childhood. He especially loved listening to operas, and tonight he came to the Cuihu Grand Theater, which was his most frequented place.
They arrived in front of the stage, glanced around, and frowned when they saw that the best tables were already full.
He usually preferred the seat in the very center, but he was a little late today because of something, and to his surprise, there were no seats available. However, it wasn't a big deal. Chen Jiaping was used to being arrogant, and in the French Concession, how many people wouldn't give face to Chen Ting, a veteran of the Green Gang?
Chen Jiaping looked around. These were all familiar faces. He would greet them regularly, and they would run into each other all the time. He couldn't very well use his power to bully them and ask them to give up their seats.
On the contrary, there were several unfamiliar faces sitting in the very center seat. He turned to signal to his attendants, who naturally understood Chen Jiaping's meaning. Without saying anything, they took two steps to Gan Mingxuan and patted Gan Mingxuan on the shoulder.
"Brother, our young master wants to watch a show, so please give up your seat if you know what's good for you!"
This sudden action immediately alerted Gan Mingxuan and the four team members. Sun Xin stood up abruptly, took a step forward, and pushed the attendant back.
Gan Mingxuan was furious. Someone had taken his seat for no reason. Given his domineering personality, how could he possibly give up his seat to someone else? He wouldn't bully others, but how could he let someone bully him?
Without saying a word, he stood up and cursed, "You blind fool, you actually made your young master give up his seat? I'll give it to you, do you dare sit down?"
When Chen Jiaping saw that the other party was not giving him any face, he couldn't help but get angry. He was used to running rampant in Shanghai. Who here was not afraid of him?
He said coldly, "Where did this little punk come from? Does anyone in Shanghai dare to disrespect the Green Gang? Taking your seat is a favor; we'll take your life later."
The two sides immediately confronted each other, and the theater hall fell silent. Everyone around knew Chen Jiaping, the eldest son of Chen Ting, who was wealthy and powerful and no one dared to offend him. They were all secretly worried for these strangers.
At this point, the theater staff dared not step forward, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire, and quickly went to report to the theater owner.
Gan Mingxuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately spotted An Ruwei next to Chen Jiaping. His eyes lit up instantly. An Ruwei was indeed a rare beauty, with a delicate face and graceful figure, which immediately made Gan Mingxuan's heart tremble.
What a beautiful woman! With such a beauty in front of him, Gan Mingxuan couldn't back down now. Looking at the four team members beside him, he felt much more confident. He knew very well that these people were all well-trained special agents, agile and quick, and dealing with ordinary people was a piece of cake for them.
As for the Green Gang members mentioned by Chen Jiaping, Gan Mingxuan was dismissive, believing that they were easy targets for the agents at the Shanghai station. He thought they were just petty thugs. Just a few days ago, the two Green Gang thugs who had offended him were killed by the agents at the Shanghai station, stuffed into sacks, and thrown into the Huangpu River.
His face darkened, and he pointed at Chen Jiaping, cursing, "So what if you're from the Green Gang? Do you think I'd give up my seat to anyone who steps forward? Didn't your parents teach you anything? I'll teach you a lesson today!"
After saying that, he didn't say anything more. He turned around and winked at Sun Xin. Sun Xin couldn't help but groan inwardly. These people seemed to have some connections. The Shanghai intelligence station always paid attention to hiding their whereabouts and always acted from behind. But today it seemed that they would have to confront each other face to face.
They were also aware of the background of this young master Gan. He was the eldest son of Gan Kangnian, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Executive Yuan, and an absolute high-ranking member of the Kuomintang. He absolutely could not be allowed to make any mistakes, otherwise the station chief would not let them off easily.
Without further hesitation, Sun Xin stepped in front of Gan Mingxuan and grabbed Chen Jiaping's follower.
At this point, a conflict was inevitable. Chen Jiaping had not expected to run into these hotheads here, who did not take him seriously at all. He couldn't help but laugh in anger.
However, he had great confidence in his subordinates. These two men were both skilled fighters in the Green Gang, and naturally, they were very capable. Fighting and brawling were commonplace for them, and they even had several lives on their hands. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen by Chen Jiaping to be his bodyguards.
But as soon as they started fighting, Chen Jiaping realized something was wrong. The strong young man opposite him was clearly a formidable opponent. In just one exchange, the man knocked his henchman aside and delivered two consecutive elbow strikes to his henchman's ribs, instantly rendering him unable to fight and causing him to collapse limply to the ground.
