Guo Songtao's idea was that if Song Zhenyang really rebelled, there was no need to personally bring the spies to Hong Kong to arrest him. As long as he informed the Kuomintang-KMT spy organization stationed in Hong Kong of his situation, Guo Songtao would have been arrested long ago.
Not only has Guo Songtao not been arrested, but there haven't been any unusual situations around the bookstore recently, which shows that Song Zhenyang is reliable and is still a trustworthy comrade.
The leader who came to give the order was persuaded by him and agreed that he should stay here to wait for Song Zhenyang's arrival, but he must also be more vigilant.
In order to protect Guo Songtao, the organization specially arranged a gunman in a hotel where Huiwen Bookstore could be observed to prevent any accidents.
Guo Songtao has also been frightened these days. He has been working underground for many years and he knows very well that no one is completely reliable.
Logically speaking, anyone may betray the organization for various reasons, or may not be able to withstand torture and confess. People who work underground will not completely trust someone.
Of course, they will make judgments based on the information they have, and after making a decision, they must bear the corresponding consequences.
He single-handedly brought Song Zhenyang up in Shanghai, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was his student. He particularly admired Song Zhenyang and reported Song Zhenyang's situation to his superiors many times, hoping that the organization would give Song Zhenyang more opportunities to display his talents.
The two of them were very excited to meet again after a long separation.
Comrades engaged in underground work have a special feeling. Every encounter between comrades may be the last, so we cherish it doubly.
Based on the words and deeds during the meeting, Guo Songtao made a judgment: Song Zhenyang did not betray and was still a revolutionary comrade loyal to the party.
After Song Zhenyang reported the situation in Shanghai, Guo Songtao felt more at ease, because the situation he reported was consistent with the information conveyed to him by his superiors, and there were many more details that could withstand scrutiny.
"I made a fatal mistake, and I'm here to ask the organization to punish me." Song Zhenyang lowered his head and said.
He said this because the rebellious team member was not recruited by Guo Songtao, but one of the several new team members he recruited after he took over the team.
"Comrade Zhenyang, you don't have to blame yourself too much. None of us have a perspective. It is inevitable to make mistakes in revolutionary work, but we must sum up experience and accept lessons to avoid making them again." Guo Songtao expressed his opinions sincerely.
.
"Thank you to the organization for trusting me. I will definitely strengthen my organizational awareness and do my work more meticulously and practically." After Song Zhenyang realized his negligence, he gained some revolutionary experience. Of course, the tuition he paid was quite expensive.
"Your superiors are already aware of your situation. I will report the situation you just reported to your superiors in detail. Then you can stay here with me and wait for the superiors' rearrangements." Guo Songtao comforted him.
"Can you convey my request to the superior leaders and let me return to work in Shanghai? I want to re-establish an intelligence team." Song Zhenyang said seriously.
"I know what you mean. You want to get up wherever you fell. Your attitude is positive, but regarding your next work arrangements, your superiors will have more appropriate considerations. Let's not cause trouble to the leaders."
Guo Songtao declined him politely, obviously not wanting him to take the risk of returning to Shanghai.
Song Zhenyang nodded slightly disappointedly. In underground work, strict compliance with organizational arrangements is the first principle and no bargaining is allowed.
"By the way, I still have something to report to the leader." Song Zhenyang suddenly remembered what happened on the ferry.
After listening to his report, Guo Songtao frowned tightly, feeling that this was not a trivial matter.
"Comrade Zhenyang, do you really think that the woman disguised as a man looks like the eldest lady of the Sheng family?" Guo Songtao asked.
"I've only seen her photo in the newspaper, and I think she looks a bit like it, but why did the daughter of the richest man in Shanghai put on make-up and run away as if she were fleeing? So I'm not sure." Song Zhenyang was still thinking about it.
"You don't know yet, Shanghai is in chaos. On the day you boarded the ship, Sheng Muyi, the daughter of the richest man in Shanghai, mysteriously disappeared from the penthouse suite of the newly opened Chinachem Hotel." Guo Songtao slapped the table,
That means there is no need to doubt it, it must be so.
"What? That can't be wrong, it must be her." Song Zhenyang stood up in shock.
"Where did this woman disguised as a man go?" Guo Songtao asked hurriedly.
"I... don't know. We separated as soon as we got out of the pier." Song Zhenyang stomped his feet in regret.
"According to your estimation, where should she go? This is such a coincidence, I am just about to discuss it with you." Guo Songtao also looked slightly disappointed.
"I can't estimate this. I haven't talked to her for long. It can be seen that she is still wary of me." Song Zhenyang said after considering it.
"Of course, she is frightened now and will not believe anyone. However, we still have to find her. This is an order issued by the supreme leader of Shanghai." Guo Songtao said with a stern attitude.
"The order issued by the supreme leader of Shanghai? How did he know that the daughter of the richest man in Shanghai had arrived in Hong Kong?" Song Zhenyang was a little confused.
Of course he knows who the highest-level leader in Shanghai is, but there are strict disciplines within the organization and he must not contact leaders at this level privately or without permission.
"Comrade Zhenyang, we can only accept organizational instructions and cannot inquire about the source of intelligence. This is organizational discipline." Guo Songtao promptly reminded.
Song Zhenyang was still in a daze, and he woke up only after being beaten by Guo Songtao. He shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake. In fact, you don't need to ask at all, you can guess it. It must be the information passed by our intelligence personnel lurking in Japan.
However, you can only guess about this kind of thing but not ask. Asking it would be a violation of discipline.
"But the disappearance of the daughter of the richest man in Shanghai has nothing to do with our organization. Why do we pay so much attention to it?" Song Zhenyang still didn't understand.
"You don't understand, don't you? I don't understand either, but we must carry out the leader's order. Starting from tomorrow, we will search from the place where you broke up with that woman to see if we can find her." Guo Songtao said.
"Maybe I saw it wrong. The lady I met on the boat may not be the young lady." Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Song Zhenyang couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Whether it is true or not, as long as there is a one in 10,000 possibility, we can't let it go." Guo Songtao said firmly.
On the third day, Sheng Muyi packed up her luggage and took a car to the pier. She wanted to take a boat to leave Hong Kong for Tianjin, but found that a large number of Japanese had already set up controls at the pier, and two of them had followed her in Shanghai.
She didn't dare to take any chances, so she immediately returned by car, moved out of the hotel where she originally stayed, and changed to a hotel farther away from the pier.
She knew that the trouble was serious. The Japanese had already laid a dragnet against her in Hong Kong. It was impossible to leave Hong Kong in the short term.
She needs to spend a long time with the Japanese to see who is more patient. She also needs to see how the situation changes and what happens after Ziyuan's trip.
On March 10, 1930, the day arrived that Sheng Youde and the Japanese had agreed upon to exchange hostages.
In the afternoon, Lu Ming prepared the car and then asked the bodyguards to tie Sheng Di's hands and blindfold him.
Lu Ming smiled and said to Sheng Di: "Brother, congratulations, today is your happy day."
When Sheng Di heard this, his legs became weak and he couldn't walk at all.
"Brother, don't kill me, don't kill me, just leave me alive and let me do whatever I want. I'm talking nonsense, so slap me." Sheng Di was about to cry.
"Brother, I can't make the decision in this matter, I'm sorry." Lu Ming asked two bodyguards to lift Sheng Di up and throw him into the trunk, and then he drove towards the suburbs.
After driving to the outskirts, they chose a flat place to park, opened the trunk, and Lu Ming asked the bodyguards to take Sheng Di out, put him on the ground, and then remove the blindfold from him.
He took out two shovels from the trunk and directed the bodyguards to start digging a hole.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Sheng Di looked on with fear.
"I said, brother, this is a good place. Look at how nice the sunshine is here. Spring is here, so it's great to bury people. Next to it is the Yangtze River. You can hear the whistles of ships coming and going every day." Lu Ming
Said loudly.
"Brother, don't kill me. Let me go. I don't want anything now. It's all for you and Mu Yi. You just need to spare my life. Brother, we grew up together. We are not
Have we always been like brothers?" Sheng Di had tears and runny nose all over his face.
"Yes, I have always treated you as a biological brother, but I didn't expect that your biological brother would be an immature wolf with white eyes." Lu Ming stamped his feet.
"No, it can be cooked. It can be cooked. I'm mature now." Sheng Di cried loudly.
