Two people with their own thoughts walked off the gangplank side by side, and immediately found many suspicious people on the pier. They looked at the passengers disembarking with anxious eyes, as if they were looking for something in the crowd.
When Sheng Muyi saw this scene, she immediately understood that without Song Zhenyang's help, she would have nowhere to hide at this moment.
If the Japanese spy on the ferry was still alive, just by raising his finger, what awaited Sheng Muyi would be the same house arrest as Yuan Ziyuan.
At the moment when he was about to disembark, Song Zhenyang bent his arms and said nothing, just showed a smile to Sheng Muyi.
This smile is rich in meaning, containing wisdom and courage, but to outsiders, it is just a flirtation between lovers.
Sheng Muyi's hand lifted it up without hesitation.
The Japanese on the dock did not notice that a woman dressed as a Hong Kong star walked past them, because her hand was on a man's arm, and she was obviously not the target of their arrest.
The Japanese were still foolishly looking for their accomplices, until all the passengers on the ferry were gone, and they didn't see any of their own people.
By the time they realized that their accomplice must have been thrown into the sea, it was too late and the target person had disappeared from under their eyes.
There was no one on the pier.
The Japanese agents, who had been waiting in vain for a whole day on the pier, hurriedly reported to Shanghai. Only then did they know the name and identity of the arrested target. More detailed information including photos, etc. could only be sent to Hong Kong on the next ferry.
After coming out of the dock, Song Zhenyang and Mu Yi separated. Song Zhenyang was anxious to find his boss, while Mu Yi was looking for a hotel to stay.
There is also a cruise ship from Hong Kong to Tianjin, the Queen Mary, but it only sails once a week, and the next cruise ship will not weigh anchor until three days later.
"You have to be careful of the Japanese, they seem to be looking for you." Before parting, Song Zhenyang warned Mu Yi.
"I know, thank you, Mr. Song. Why do you want to help me?" Sheng Muyi asked.
"Because we are all Chinese." Song Zhenyang smiled, waved his hand, and left with long strides.
"Are we all Chinese?" Sheng Muyi murmured Song Zhenyang's words, feeling very touched in her heart. Maybe she left the mainland. As long as she is Chinese, she will have a sense of intimacy when meeting people from her hometown.
But just a few days ago, in her own home, she had just experienced a fatal blow from her relatives, so she had to leave her hometown and embark on the road to escape.
Sheng Muyi tasted the ups and downs of life for the first time. The key is that all the flavors are mixed together. You can't deny one flavor because of another.
She found a hotel not far from the pier and checked in. This time she did not use the pseudonym Kate Joe, but checked in under the name Kai Lihua.
Because she dressed rather fashionably and spoke very standard American English, the hotel clerk thought she was a tourist from the United States and was very polite to her.
After checking into the hotel, Sheng Muyi breathed a sigh of relief, finally overcoming another difficulty.
Who is that Song Zhenyang?
She drew a question mark in her mind.
"It can't be..." She suddenly thought of something and almost blurted it out, but stopped immediately.
If she had known this, she would have gone with him in the first place. Sheng Muyi regretted it a little.
Obviously, the moment they broke up after walking out of the pier, Mr. Song was looking at her attitude. Because she was too reserved, Mr. Song gave up what he wanted to say.
Such a man is a standard gentleman. I hope I have the chance to meet him again, even if we have a deep conversation, there will definitely be unexpected gains.
Once people are alone, they begin to look for close friends. No matter whether your previous status was noble or low, the loneliness inside is equally terrible.
Sheng Muyi came up with this idea long before studying abroad. She wanted to know more about Chinese society and find her own future path in life.
What kind of person can give her guidance? She has read several "New Youth" magazines and feels that the articles there are very consistent with her life philosophy.
Later, she learned that it was a publication run by the Communist Party. It only existed for a few years before being banned by the Nationalist government. She was determined to find them.
She wanted to find a true member of the Communist Party of China, learn from him the ideas and beliefs of the Communist Party of China, and ask him for advice on where China should go in the future and where she should go.
She originally had full confidence in the Kuomintang, mainly due to her father's influence on her, but the April 12th massacre carried out by the Kuomintang made her feel deeply disappointed.
In her opinion, two parties that are also working for national rejuvenation have conflicts. Why can't they sit down and have a good talk? When the country needs talents the most, a party that raises a butcher's knife to revolutionary comrades is definitely not trustworthy.
The Kuomintang was excluded, and of course there was only the Communist Party.
Sheng Muyi has also come into contact with many democratic parties. Most of these parties were established under the influence of foreign political ideas. They are not grounded at all and cannot take on the important task of rejuvenating the country.
Its members have the pedantic atmosphere of the scholar-official class of the old era. Relying on their political ideas, they cannot change China, even the villages in remote areas.
Sheng Muyi calls the patriots from these parties utopians. Their ideas are good, but they are unrealistic and cannot be realized.
After staying in the United States for several years, she returned to China and witnessed various backward scenes. Sheng Muyi fell into deep pain. Like Lu Ming, she was also thinking about how to make China truly get rid of poverty and backwardness and become truly prosperous and powerful.
Get up and re-enter the ranks of world powers like the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties.
However, Lu Ming buried his pain deeply. He used all kinds of romance to anesthetize himself, regarded detectives as his entertainment activities, and tried his best to get rid of the shackles of this pain and live a free life.
But Sheng Muyi is different. She has to face these and there is no way to escape.
Before the 520 plan was discovered, Sheng Muyi once wanted to discuss her thoughts in depth with Lu Ming. She quietly showed Lu Ming her treasured magazine "New Youth" as a test.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming went back to his hometown in Huzhou the next day. When he returned to Shanghai, Sheng Muyi had disappeared, and the words that were weighing on Sheng Muyi's heart did not have time to be spoken.
Sheng Youde saw the pain in his daughter's heart and once advised her to go back to the United States and simply stay in the United States. The Sheng family also has industries in the United States and holds shares in many large American companies. Sheng Muyi can run the Sheng family business by herself.
That part of the business in the United States.
However, Sheng Muyi refused. She did not want to be a deserter in an era when her nation had undergone tremendous changes for thousands of years. She wanted to witness how this nation rose, and she must do her part for this.
Song Zhenyang took a car and arrived in front of the Huiwen Bookstore in Wan Chai. He found that the bookstore was closed and it was still early. Why was it closed?
After he got off the bus and paid the fare, he did not rush to knock on the door. Instead, he stood in front of the bookstore and looked at the dozen kinds of books displayed in the window.
He looked around for a long time to make sure no one was watching the bookstore, and then he knocked on the door.
About two minutes later, the door of the bookstore opened a crack, and a man poked his head out, saw Song Zhenyang, and hurriedly pulled him in.
"You are finally here, Comrade Zhenyang. I have been worried about you."
The speaker was a fat middle-aged man, who was Song Zhenyang's boss in Hong Kong, Guo Songtao.
Song Zhenyang's intelligence team in Shanghai was actually established by Guo Songtao himself. Guo Songtao was originally Song Zhenyang's direct leader in Shanghai. A year ago, because Hong Kong needed manpower, he was transferred to Hong Kong to establish an intelligence organization. He still used the bookstore owner as a cover.
After Guo Songtao left Shanghai, Song Zhenyang took over the intelligence team. However, Song Zhenyang was the only one who knew that Guo Songtao was transferred to Hong Kong. The other team members thought that Team Leader Guo had been transferred to the mainland.
"Team Leader Guo, I have failed to live up to your expectations. Our team has been completely wiped out, and I am the only one left." Song Zhenyang lowered his head in shame.
"Revolutionary struggle is cruel. We are always in danger when doing underground work. This kind of thing is inevitable. It is a blessing among misfortunes that you can leave safely."
Guo Songtao poured a bowl of tea for Song Zhenyang and began to listen to his work report.
Before Song Zhenyang arrived in Hong Kong, the Shanghai underground organization headquarters had already spread the information about Song Zhenyang's group to Hong Kong through secret channels.
The order from his superiors was for Guo Songtao to temporarily evacuate Hong Kong because it was impossible to confirm whether Song Zhenyang was arrested or whether he had really escaped safely or had rebelled.
If Song Zhenyang has rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, Guo Songtao's situation will be very dangerous and he must immediately withdraw to the mainland and wait for new orders.
Guo Songtao thought twice and did not evacuate immediately. Instead, he argued with the leaders who came to instruct him to evacuate. He believed that Song Zhenyang would not rebel. Even if he was unfortunately arrested, he would not confess immediately.
It would be extremely disappointing if Song Zhenyang escaped capture by the Kuomintang authorities and came to Hong Kong alone, but was unable to find him or contact the organization.
