The person who came to pick up Meng Shaoyuan and his party was Tong Muguang, the person in charge of Hefei Military Reunion.

He received an order early in the morning that an important figure, "Mr. Wang", was about to arrive in Hefei, and that he would personally receive him and ensure the safety of "Mr. Wang".

But he waited for two days and still didn't get his target.

"I'm really sorry." Tong Muguang apologized: "The Japanese army is approaching Anhui step by step. You can even smell the smoke in Hefei. The 199th Division urgently reinforces Hefei. There are too many things I have to do."

"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly.

"Mr. Tong, can our weapons be taken away?" Gan Ning asked.

"Of course, of course."

Gan Ning and Xu Zhu picked up the weapons and handed them back to all the agents one by one.

"Get in the car and let's go."

Tong Muguang opened the car door: "Mr. Wang, do you share a car with me?"

"It's done."

…

The situation in Hefei is indeed not optimistic.

A large number of shops have been closed.

The landing place Tong Muguang arranged for them was the "Jianghuai Hotel" in Hefei.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Hefei was shrouded in the clouds of war, its conditions far exceeded those of Macheng.

The conditions of Jianghuai Hotel are quite good.

"Mr. Wang, there is a lot of chaos in Hefei now." As soon as Meng Shaoyuan was sent into the room, Tong Muguang said immediately: "Japanese spies and traitors frequently operate in Hefei, and the superiors have specifically told me to ensure your safety, so

I'm thinking of bringing all the food and drink to you directly to your room, so as to avoid the danger to the greatest extent.

As for me, I would also like to ask you to stay in Hefei for two more days. The day after tomorrow, the 287th Regiment will move to Chaoxian County. I am thinking that it will be safer if you go with the 287th Regiment. After arriving in Chaoxian County, our army will unify Chaoxian County.

The county agent will re-arrange a way for you to leave. After much thought, I think this is the safest way."

"Old boy, thank you for your trouble." Meng Shaoyuan raised his hand and said, "I also want to ask you for two things."

"You said, as long as I can do it."

"The first thing is that you arrange a group of people to go to the Zhonghe Library and transport all the books in it to Wuhan. You go directly to Mao Renfeng and ask him to properly arrange these books."

"What, books?"

Tong Muguang wondered if he had heard wrongly. The Japanese were about to attack him. Everyone was so busy. How could this "Mr. Wang" still have time to think about books?

Meng Shaoyuan had read this history.

After the fall of Hefei, the Zhonghe Library became a Japanese military camp, and all 5,000 extremely precious books in the library were shipped to Japan.

This is a huge loss for China.

But Meng Shaoyuan thought to himself and said: "Also, the family of Xu Ziling, a great writer in Hefei, has a collection of thousands of books, including a large number of treasures and orphans. Likewise, please send someone to persuade the Xu family to help them transport all these books.

Go to Wuhan, and then find a way to retreat to Chongqing."

Not to mention Tong Muguang, even people like Gan Ning Xu Zhu didn't understand.

A war is imminent, and there is a killer following behind. You don't want to escape as soon as possible, but what are you doing thinking about books?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to explain how valuable these books were to this country. He took out an envelope and handed it to Tong Muguang: "Take a look."

Tong Muguang opened the envelope in confusion and took out the contents. When he saw it, his expression suddenly changed.

These are two checks.

One is five thousand oceans, the other is ten thousand oceans.

"This is?"

Tong Muguang couldn't help but ask.

"Five thousand oceans is for you." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "It takes a lot of money to help with the relocation. We can't let you pay for it yourself, right? If you have more money, consider it my gratitude to you, please

Never refuse."

It's really rare for someone to be so generous.

Tong Muguang said politely: "What about another one?"

"Is there a security team in Hefei?"

"Yes, the 5th and 7th Security Regiments of Song Shike, Commander-in-Chief of Hefei Security Command."

"I need about two companies of security teams."

Meng Shaoyuan pondered and said: "Search in all hotels in Hefei. Those outsiders who have arrived in Hefei in the past two days must be carefully inspected. Once weapons are found, they will be arrested immediately. Old boy, please go find Commander Song.

This ten thousand yuan is the hard-earned money I gave him, and I told him that a large amount of Japanese specials had been mixed in Hefei, and asked him to cooperate in the inspection."

This is something that kills two birds with one stone.

First, we can definitely catch a lot of killers. Second, if we conduct a thorough inspection, we may be able to catch a lot of Japanese special agents who have sneaked into Hefei.

"Okay, I'll go find Commander Song right now." Tong Muguang didn't pursue the true purpose of "Mr. Wang": "The security team assists our military command in arresting people, which is also their task. Commander Song and I have a good relationship, plus

With your ten thousand oceans, it will surely come true."

"Old boy, remember to make a big splash." Meng Shaoyuan gave special instructions: "Also, spread the word that Mr. Wang from Wuhan lives in the Jianghuai Hotel."

Tong Muguang could only smile bitterly.

I'm afraid only he himself knows what exactly this "Mr. Wang" has in mind.

…

Meng Shaoyuan stood at the window, opened the curtains and looked outside.

Ten minutes ago, Hefei had just been attacked by Japanese air raids.

Meng Shaoyuan had no intention of escaping from the hotel.

Run? Where to run?

Are there any serious air raid shelters?

No matter how fast you run, can you be as fast as a cannonball?

Fortunately, the Jianghuai Hotel was unharmed during the air raid.

"I have a hunch." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Liao Yuting is not in Hefei."

"Not in Hefei?" Gan Ning frowned.

"He's not here." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "If he were here, he should already know that I live here, and with his ability, he is fully qualified to request the Japanese army to bomb this hotel directly."

Listen, it seems to make some sense.

"This person is really too cunning." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "No matter how he acts, he will not do it himself, but will use his hands to others. Gan Ning, in the next two days, will

,A lot of things will happen in this hotel.”

Someone knocked on the door.

"Xu Zhu is back." Gan Ning listened to the signal and opened the door.

As soon as Xu Zhu came in, he immediately closed the door and said, "Director Meng, I found an acquaintance in the hotel."

"Oh, acquaintance?"

"Well, yes. And I even put on makeup."

After hearing what Xu Zhu said, Meng Shaoyuan laughed: "Why are there so many people superstitious about the power of makeup? Makeup sounds mysterious, but it's not that magical. Are you here to assassinate me?"

"He must be here to assassinate you."

"Then come."

Meng Shaoyuan stretched out: "Anyway, I have nothing to do here these two days. By the way, you have to create opportunities for this killer."

Gan Ning and Xu Zhu looked at each other, their eyes were a little ambiguous.

…

Doorbell rang.

Gan Ning opened the door crack and asked, "Who?"

"The meal you ordered."

"Hold on."

Gan Ning closed the door again, unlocked the safety catch, and opened the door again.

A waiter with a mustache, a hat and glasses walked in pushing a dining cart with his head lowered.

"Sir, your lunch."
