In the night, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua took the boat back to Xuqing Letter Apartment. Meixiang and Andy, who had been waiting at the door, immediately took Mr. Feng and Cao Muba to the basement after they got off the boat.

As for what they said in the basement, Wei Ran didn't know. He was just woken up in the middle of the night. Together with Tao Canhua, they took the boat out of the love letter apartment and sent them to the apartment next to the three.

There was an alley filled with water.

"Will we meet again in the future?"

Wei Ran asked while waiting for Mr. Feng and Cao Duba to transfer to another boat waiting here. By the way, he also handed the two gold bars to Cao Duba, and repeated Mei Xiang's instructions against the other person's ear.

Ichiban.

Originally, these two gold bars were supposed to be given to Guan Bingwen, but when he went to pick them up, the window was closed too quickly, and he had no chance to send them out. But I thought about giving these gold bars to these two people.

It should be considered as making the best use of it.

"Yes, definitely."

Feng... No, Mr. Hong waited for Cao Mute to get on the boat with the gold bars, and made a promise in a firm tone. The boat was also pushed by the bamboo pole in the hand of the punter, and disappeared amidst the faint sound of water splash.

into the darkness.

"Let's go back too"

Wei Ran raised his head and glanced at the night sky where raindrops were falling again, and whispered to Tao Canhua.

Hearing this, Tao Canhua silently picked up the bamboo pole on the boat, pushed it hard, and skillfully steered the boat towards the study apartment.

When the two of them returned to the study apartment, they found Jasmine sitting on a chair in the foyer waiting for them.

"Go to the basement," Jasmine whispered, "Miss is waiting for you."

"good"

Wei Ran nodded, walked into the storage room with Tao Canhua, and followed the stairs to the basement.

Perhaps because of the power outage, there was only one kerosene lamp burning on the table in the damp basement at this time. Meixiang and Andy were sitting on both sides of the table. On the table between them, there was nothing else but the kerosene lamp.

Besides, there is also a white porcelain ashtray.

"Did it arrive?" Andy asked slowly.

“delivered”

Wei Ran casually pulled a chair over and sat down. He lit a cigarette and replied, "However, the gold bars were not delivered to Guan Bingwen."

Then, Wei Ran was also fuming and recounted his own handling method.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference whether you give it to the mute uncle or Xiao Guan." Mei Xiang crushed the cigarette butt, put away the cigarette holder and stood up, "Take a few puffs, there is still business. Can Hua, move the mirror away."

"immediately"

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he took two puffs of his cigarette, pulled out the butt of the cigarette and crushed it in the ashtray. At the same time, Tao Canhua pushed open the large mirror in a familiar manner.

After looking at each other with Mei Xiang, Andy took out a key and opened the padlock on the small door, and then got in first. Following closely, Wei Ran, Tao Canhua and Mei Xiang also got in.

Contrary to his expectation, the hidden basement was still dry and did not seem to be affected by the flood outside.

And compared with two years ago, there are a lot more things here. The most eye-catching thing is the slender water tanks placed next to each other in the passage that takes up half the width of the passage.

.

Some of these water tanks contain rice that has not yet been shelled, some contain wheat with full grains, and some are filled with things like sun-dried radish strips, cucumber strips, dried beans and eggplants.

.Even, there seemed to be strips of ham buried in two jars filled with coarse salt.

Continuing to walk inside, when they passed through the iron gate and entered the hidden underground space, Wei Ran discovered that the changes here were also not small.

Not to mention anything else, at least the original iron frame bed and steel wire bed are gone. Instead, they are on the innermost side against the wall. On the left hand side are an operating bed and two wooden cabinets containing various medicines. The operating bed is right in front of it.

Above, several incandescent lamps of different heights hang down.

On the right side, there were two more wooden bunk beds placed at a 90-degree angle. He could even tell that those bunk beds were made of the same wooden boards that were originally used to seal the doors and windows.

In addition, those printing machines seemed to have been carefully maintained, and each even had a coarse cloth cover.

But the most important thing is that there are several things on the small table combined with a painting vat and a glass plate in the center of the room.

The first thing was a wooden box that looked very familiar to Wei Ran!

Beside the wooden box, there were two slightly tattered English books. Judging from the titles, they seemed to be a maintenance manual for a printing press and a book on radio technology.

In addition, there is a red-covered copy of "The Scream" on the table, and beside the book, there is also a photo.

"Mr. Feng is going to do something with the Guan family when he returns to Tianjin this time."

While Meixiang was talking, she sat on a small stool next to the painting vat, lit a cigarette and said slowly, "They plan to use the printing press here for anti-Japanese propaganda, and I agree."

Seeing that Wei Ran and Tao Canhua didn't seem to express their opinions, Mei Xiang continued, "After the flood passes this time, I plan to set up a theater troupe in this study apartment and just use the children upstairs. Don't worry.

How good you can be at playing and singing, as long as you are active enough and loyal enough. Canhua, I leave it to you and Qiushi to set up the troupe. From now on, you will be the leader of this troupe."

"Okay!" Tao Canhua agreed immediately, and then asked, "Auntie, what is the name of our theater troupe?"

"What name do you think is appropriate?" Mei Xiang looked at Andy with a smile.

"Whatever you want to call it," Andy replied nonchalantly, obviously not caring about this kind of thing.

"Then just call it whatever you like."

Mei Xiang casually handed over the decision to Tao Canhua, then reached out and turned over the photo on the table and pushed it in front of Wei Ran and the other two, "Compared to the troupe, the next step is business."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua immediately focused their attention on the photo.

The people in this photo are a shirtless fat man holding a woman in a cheongsam in his arms, and someone Wei Ran is particularly familiar with - the fake reporter Ding Rongfu who bought Shuyu information from him!

"This fat man is Wang Xian, the traitor who is responsible for guarding the barbed wire fence in the French Concession. I'm sure you know the thin man next to me, cousin, right?" Mei Xiang asked with a smile.

"know"

A smile also appeared on Wei Ran's face, "This thief calls himself Ding Rongfu. Two years ago, when I sent Canhua to play the piano for Ueda Ghost, I stole a lot of money from him."

"This Ding Rongfu lives in the concession to collect intelligence for the Japanese. He has recently targeted a classmate of Xiaoguan."

After finishing speaking, Mei Xiang raised her head and glanced at Wei Ran, "Uncle Mute followed Feng... and Mr. Hong here this time to deal with Ding Rongfu and Wang Xian.

Once Ding Rongfu is eliminated, Xiaoguan will be much safer. After Wang Xian is eliminated, the Guan family siblings can encourage their traitorous father to take over the job, and by then we will have a passage to the outside of the concession."

"So Uncle Mute and the others just went to the vicinity of Sangui to deal with Wang Xian?" Wei Ran looked at the other party and asked.

"right"

Andy, who had already lit up a cigarette, took over the conversation, "They will do it during the next thunderstorm night. Meixiang has arranged to kill Ding Rongfu for you. I thought it would be safer if we do it at the same time."

"you?"

Wei Ran turned his head suspiciously and glanced at Tao Canhua, whose eyes were shining beside him, "Am I going with Canhua?"

"Jasmine said that he is no longer young anymore and it's time for him to see blood."

Andy tapped the letter on the table with his fingernail and continued, "This Ding Rongfu lives in the house where you killed Ueda's female companion.

According to the news from Xiaoguan, there must be at least four or five people living there, all of whom are Ding Rongfu's men. If conditions permit, kill them all together."

"If it's difficult, you can wait until the mute uncle is finished and ask him to come over and help." Mei Xiang said.

"I have a few questions"

While Wei Ran was talking, he also lit a cigarette for himself, which also gave Mei Xiang and Andy some time to prepare.

"What's the problem?" Andy asked first.

"I want to know the identities of the Guan siblings and Mr. Hong." Wei Ran took a puff of cigarette and looked at the two beautiful girls seriously, "and our identities."

Hearing this, Mei Xiang and Andy looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, the former also lit a cigarette, while Andy stood up and left the room and walked into the dim passage, apparently to go on guard duty.

"Mr. Hong is a member of the Democracy First Organization, even before the July 7th Incident."

Meixiang lowered her voice very low, as if she was talking to herself, and explained, "Xiaoguan and her sister joined the anti-Japanese murder group this spring. One of them is responsible for communications and publicity, and the other is responsible for

Purchase supplies.”

"What about us?" Tao Canhua, who was quite excited, asked with a longing look on his face, "Are we also considered members of the anti-Japanese killing gang?"

"Us?" Mei Xiang smiled, then shook her head, "It doesn't count."

"What about the people first?" Tao Canhua continued to ask, "Are we considered people first?"

"Of course it doesn't count." Mei Xiang shook her head again, "Last year, Minxian was disbanded."

"It doesn't even count..." Tao Canhua couldn't hide his disappointment and muttered, "We don't have names or anything?"

"This is not a fight between the big family and the second family for property. It's about status but not status."

Wei Ran muttered angrily, then asked without giving up, "Cousin, who do we think we are?"

"Shuyu" Meixiang said with a smile, "Of course it is Shuyu".

"No...no more?" Tao Canhua, who originally thought Mei Xiang could say something, asked.

"Gone"

Mei Xiang smiled and said, "We cannot have any subordinate relationship with Mr. Feng, nor can we have any subordinate relationship with the Guan family siblings.

This is the book house. In the future, these printing presses left by the British will be used to print anti-Japanese posters, so that the anti-Japanese people can plaster them all over the streets and alleys.
