Sheng Muyi tried to go to the dock several times to see if she could find a chance to leave, but instead of reducing the number of Japanese under control, the number actually increased.
Many of them were the people who followed and monitored her in Shanghai. Apparently the Japanese guessed that she had fled to Hong Kong. They first blocked the dock and customs, and then slowly searched for her traces area by area.
Sheng Muyi didn't dare to take risks, she didn't have much confidence in her makeup skills.
She returned to the hotel safely and decided to improve her makeup skills first and wait for an appropriate opportunity before leaving Hong Kong.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, she would go to a nearby bookstore to buy makeup and beauty books. Such books were relatively unpopular, but you could still find some if you looked carefully.
After buying the book, she studied it carefully and tried different styles on her body and face, but she was still not satisfied.
After buying and reading all the books on makeup in a nearby bookstore, she took a rickshaw and walked farther away. When she saw a relatively large bookstore, she walked in.
Sheng Muyi was browsing the books on the bookshelf when a man came over. When he saw her, he shouted in surprise: "Miss Kate, why is it you?"
Sheng Muyi turned around and was shocked. Isn't this Mr. Song who had helped her a lot?
"Mr. Song, why are you here?"
"It's a long story, but now I'm a clerk in this bookstore. If Miss Kate wants to buy any books, I'll help you find them." Song Zhenyang said with a happy smile.
After hearing the situation reported by Song Zhenyang, the Shanghai authorities confirmed each other with the intelligence provided by our party's lurking personnel, and believed that the person who appeared on the ferry was most likely Sheng Muyi, the heir to the Sheng family estate who had escaped from Shanghai.
So he immediately ordered the Hong Kong underground party organization to find Sheng Muyi before the Japanese and protect her.
These days, Hong Kong's underground party organization has arranged several groups to search for Sheng Muyi's whereabouts in various areas.
The Hong Kong side is a little confused as to why they spend so much energy searching for Sheng Muyi. Is she so important? But orders are orders, and there is no need to understand them just to obey them.
Guo Songtao went out early this morning, searching for Muyi on the street, leaving Song Zhenyang to guard the store. Unexpectedly, he couldn't find anything after running through the iron shoes, and the woman who called herself Kate Qiao came to her door.
Although Sheng Muyi has learned a lot of makeup skills these days, and her makeup skills are much better than before, Song Zhenyang still recognized her at a glance.
Sheng Muyi's makeup only applies to her face. Her body shape and height have not changed. What's more important is her unique temperament, which Song Zhenyang can recognize at a glance.
"There seem to be a lot of Japanese people outside looking for someone. Are they looking for you?" Song Zhenyang asked tentatively.
"I don't know, why are they looking for me?" Sheng Muyi pretended to be stupid.
However, she still showed a nervous expression and secretly glanced outside. Song Zhenyang laughed in his heart, still pretending.
"Yes, they seem to be looking for someone named Sheng Muyi. You are Kate Qiao, so they are not looking for you." Song Zhenyang laughed.
At this moment, he has determined that Sheng Muyi is the person they are looking for. Although he has only seen Muyi's photo in the newspaper, which is very different from the current Muyi, Muyi cannot lie, or it is her ability to pretend to be stupid.
Not high, everything was exposed in the conversation.
Who is Song Zhenyang? He is an old intelligence officer who has been engaged in underground work for many years. He has already developed a sharp eye.
"Miss Kate, we are also looking for you." Song Zhenyang smiled.
"You? Who are you? Why are you looking for me?" Sheng Muyi panicked a little, and the book in her hand slipped and fell to the ground.
Although Song Zhenyang seems to be a gentleman at first glance, you can't judge people by their appearance these days, and you can't even listen to what they say. Sometimes the more impassioned and impassioned he speaks, the more upright and awe-inspiring people are not good people.
"We have absolutely no ill intentions, we just want to protect you and prevent the Japanese from harming you. Well, how should I put it, just like on the ship." Song Zhenyang said with a smile.
"I don't need anyone to protect me. I live a good life on my own and no one wants to hurt me." Sheng Muyi didn't even pick up the book that fell on the ground and wanted to leave.
This is obviously a move that goes against her character and is extremely abnormal.
Of course Song Zhenyang couldn't stop her, but he made up his mind to follow Sheng Muyi closely this time and never let her disappear from his sight.
When Sheng Muyi walked out of the bookstore quickly, Guo Songtao happened to come back and almost bumped into Sheng Muyi.
"Lao Guo, this is the Miss Kate I always told you." Song Zhenyang said hurriedly.
"Are you Miss Kate?" Guo Songtao was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out his hand.
Sheng Muyi did not extend her hand, but said cautiously: "I don't know you, I just came to see if your bookstore has any books that I am interested in. I have to leave now, please make way."
Guo Songtao smiled: "Don't worry, Miss Kate, I really have something that interests you, you just need to take a look."
"What?" Sheng Muyi asked alertly.
"It should be yours, you'll know it as soon as you see it." Guo Songtao said with a smile.
He hurriedly walked into the bookstore and walked out after a while, holding a thick book folder.
During this period, Sheng Muyi wanted to run away immediately, but she stayed because Guo Songtao said that there were things of hers here, which successfully aroused her curiosity.
Although she knew that curiosity was definitely not a good thing and could even kill a cat with nine lives, what if it was news about Ziyon?
"Look at this, does it belong to you?" Guo Songtao opened the folder and took out two envelopes and some pieces of manuscript paper.
Sheng Muyi was shocked when she saw this. This was a manuscript she submitted to New Youth Magazine many years ago, but unfortunately it was never published. Later, she simply stopped writing.
"Who are you?" Sheng Muyi shouted sharply.
"I, Guo Songtao, used to be an editor at New Youth Magazine. I received these manuscripts and have kept them ever since." Guo Songtao said with a smile.
"Are you Mr. Guo from New Youth Magazine?" Sheng Muyi clearly remembered such a person. She never expected to meet her in Hong Kong, and she still kept her original letters.
"It's me."
If Guo Songtao just introduced who he was, Sheng Muyi still wouldn't believe it, but he took out the manuscript he originally submitted. This couldn't be faked or deceived, so she believed it.
"Teacher Guo, why did you come to Hong Kong?" Sheng Muyi asked.
"It's a long story. After New Youth Magazine was forced to close, I opened a bookstore in Shanghai. It was a chain store with this bookstore in Hong Kong, so I often traveled between Shanghai and Hong Kong. To be honest, this
I have been looking for you for a few days. We know that the Japanese are searching for you. We just want to help you and protect you. We have no other intention." Guo Songtao said seriously.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Song has already helped me a lot." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
"Yes, we are all Chinese and should help each other. If I am arrested by the Japanese, if you have the ability to help me, I believe you will help me." Guo Songtao is worthy of being an old underground party member, and he speaks very well.
.
Sheng Muyi smiled. Now that these two people had seen through it, there was no need to pretend anymore.
She believed that Guo Songtao, the editor of New Youth Magazine at that time, whom she admired very much, could never be a bad person, and the same was true for Song Zhenyang. They might still be people she wanted to get close to.
She had just entered high school at that time, and New Youth Magazine had a great influence on her, and it could even be said that it changed her attitude towards life and political leanings, but she did not dare to tell her father what she thought.
She recalled the passionate years, staying awake at night, writing furiously, writing her own views and some thoughts into manuscripts and submitting them to magazines.
Then I looked forward to the magazine's reply. Shortly after, the magazine replied with a note, inviting the author to come to the magazine for an interview at an appropriate time.
Sheng Muyi studied the magazine carefully and knew that the magazine was located at No. 2, Yuyang Lane, Huanlong Road, French Concession. She once wanted to go to the magazine to ask the editor for advice. She checked the magazine's phone number and called it. The person who answered the phone said Guo
The editor is out.
She remembered that New Youth Magazine had an editor named Guo, but not long after, her father decided to send her to study in the United States, and her wish to visit the magazine was never realized.
In this way, she and Guo Songtao can be regarded as destined people. Six years ago, they passed each other in Shanghai. Six years later, they finally met by chance in Hong Kong today.
