Just when Lu Ming started to be busy in the morning, Sheng Muyi also started to take action.
After arriving at the office, she briefly handled her desk work, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.
That was the number of Lao Guo Bookstore, but Sheng Muyi didn't wait for the call to be connected, it just rang once and hung up.
She looked at her watch and when two minutes had passed, she dialed the number again and hung up again after the phone on the other end rang twice.
Then she waited for three minutes and dialed the number. This time she hung up after the phone on the other end rang three times.
This was the signal agreed between her and Lao Guo, indicating that she had urgent information to hand over in person.
She put on her coat and coat and walked out of the office, and said to the two bodyguards standing at the door: "I want to go out for some fresh air, you don't have to follow me."
The two bodyguards looked at each other, trying to say something but swallowing it back, with embarrassed and helpless expressions on their faces.
According to the rules set by Sheng Youde for them, they must stay close to the eldest lady. Even if the eldest lady has personal privacy to deal with, they must remain in their sight.
After leaving Sheng Mansion, even if Sheng Muyi wanted to use the toilet, they had to check the toilet first to make sure there was no one inside.
But the eldest lady sometimes doesn't abide by this rule at all and often leaves them alone to act alone.
The eldest lady's temper is known to everyone in the house, and even the master cannot offend him. If the bodyguard violates the rules, he may be reprimanded by the master, but if he disobeys the eldest lady's order, he will leave directly.
Sheng Muyi went downstairs and drove out of Sheng's Enterprise. The two bodyguards who stared at her through the window upstairs shook their heads with a wry smile, and then called Sheng Youde to report.
After hearing this, Sheng Youde just replied "I understand" and hung up.
The two bodyguards were not at ease. The master said that knowing it did not mean that everything would be fine. If the eldest lady made any mistakes outside, they would not be able to avoid punishment.
The salary is very generous and the work is not tiring, but it is too damn tiring.
Sheng Muyi didn't care what the bodyguards thought. She drove to the department store, parked the car in the parking lot, changed into simpler clothes in the car, and briefly changed her appearance before walking out.
Her current level of disguise is already very high. People only see a plainly dressed young woman with an elegant appearance. They would never think that this ordinary woman is the number one socialite in Shanghai, Sheng Muyi.
She did not enter the department store, but turned into an alley and waited in front of a small restaurant.
After she and Lao Guo met last time, they agreed to meet here next time.
About five minutes later, a rickshaw came to her. Just as she was about to wave the rickshaw away, the driver whispered: "Get in the car quickly."
Sheng Muyi was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly got into the rickshaw and said with a smile: "Lao Guo, you can also pull a rickshaw."
Guo Songtao, who was dressed as a rickshaw driver, laughed and said: "In our line of work, you have to be good at everything."
Lao Guo pulled the car and ran quickly, passed about two streets, turned into a narrow alley, and stopped in front of a low bungalow.
"Get off the car and walk directly in." Lao Guo said in a low voice.
Sheng Muyi got out of the car and saw a sign hanging in front of the bungalow: Write a letter home for someone and test the calligraphy.
She smiled, opened the door and walked in.
The light in the room was very dark, and there was only a man whose age and appearance could not be clearly seen, sitting in the shadows. In front of him was a dilapidated table, with the Four Treasures of the Study placed on it.
The man didn't look up at her, but pointed to the right with his finger.
After Sheng Muyi entered the house, it took her a while to adapt to the light inside, and then she followed the direction of the man's finger and saw a back door.
She walked over and opened the door, and it turned out that there was another room inside.
She entered the room, sat down at a table, and waited for Lao Guo to come in.
Lao Guo did not follow Sheng Muyi into the house. He pulled the car and ran around the block twice to make sure no one was following him before returning to the alley.
Lao Guo was not afraid that someone would follow Mu Yi, but that someone would follow him.
After returning to the alley, Lao Guo did not enter through the main entrance of the bungalow. Instead, he went around to a small courtyard at the back, stopped the rickshaw, and entered through a small door.
"Comrade Sheng Muyi, I said we should try not to contact each other as much as possible." He took off his old hat and wiped the sweat from his face.
"I really have urgent information to give you." Sheng Muyi stood up and argued.
"Okay, let's talk about it. It must be brief." Lao Guo sat at the table, picked up paper and pen, and prepared to record.
Sheng Muyi first told the news that Japan was preparing to attack Shanghai in the near future.
"What? Where did this news come from? Is it accurate?" Lao Guo said in shock.
"The information was provided by my brother Lu Ming. He said it came from Japan. It should have been provided by his classmate who was a staff officer at the Japanese base camp. The information should be said to be accurate and credible." Before she could say a few words, Sheng Muyi said
Without hesitation, he sold his younger brother Lu Ming.
"By the way, how is Lu Ming's situation recently? The organization is very concerned about his situation." Lao Guo said bluntly.
Sheng Muyi briefly explained Lu Ming's situation in Lanyi Club. The main change was that Lu Ming was already the vice president of Lanyi Club's Shanghai branch and had the power to manage the entire branch.
"Okay, you should pay attention to his situation in the future and communicate with him more." Lao Guo lowered his head and said while recording.
"Why? Are you also interested in him?" Sheng Muyi asked.
"Comrade Sheng Muyi, the first rule of our work discipline is never to ask why. As long as it is an order, it must be carried out without compromise, even if it costs one's own life." Lao Guo said seriously.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't ask anymore." Sheng Muyi shrugged and said helplessly.
"Keep talking." Lao Guo urged.
Sheng Muyi then explained in full the work plan Lu Ming had formulated in the Lanyi Club, which was almost exactly what Lu Ming said yesterday.
"It's strange that as the Blue Clothes Club is a spy organization of the Kuomintang, this plan doesn't include any special means to target our party's underground organization." Lao Guo wondered.
"This plan was made by my younger brother. He said that as long as it was within his scope of authority, he would not target the CCP. There was only one enemy he had to deal with, and that was the Japanese." Sheng Muyi said proudly.
"But we can't be careless. The situation in the Blue Clothes Club is complicated. Once Nanjing issues an order, the Shanghai branch may take action against us at any time. We must remain highly vigilant." Lao Guo thought for a while and said.
"Currently, the Japanese are going to attack Shanghai. The main enemy of the Blue Clothes Society during this period is not us. It will be difficult to talk about it in the future. I have this knowledge." Sheng Muyi boldly expressed her opinion.
"You are correct in your understanding. The Blue Clothes Club will be our biggest and possibly most deadly enemy in the future. If that day comes, Lu Ming will not be able to play a big role in it." Lao Guo said calmly.
"But as long as my brother stays in the Blue Clothes Club for one day, it will still be beneficial to us. At least we will have a certain advantage in terms of intelligence." Sheng Muyi said strictly.
"Well, Lu Ming is a thoughtful and accomplished young man. Are you sure about bringing him to our camp?" Lao Guo looked up at Sheng Muyi and asked.
"This is a bit difficult. My younger brother has a good relationship with me. He listens to me the most and will do anything. But I'm not sure about this matter. I don't think he will listen to me, at least not now." Sheng Muyi showed helplessness.
said with an expression.
Sheng Muyi knew Lu Ming's feelings for her. If one day she was in danger, Lu Ming would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for her, and the same was true for her.
But for him to now turn to the Communist Party and serve the party, Sheng Muyi always felt that it was an embarrassing thing for him. This was also related to the long-term education given to him by his father.
Sheng Youde has always opposed the Sheng family to join any political party, including Lu Ming. He hopes that Lu Ming can join the Blue Clothes Club, but he does not agree with him joining the Kuomintang.
"I understand the situation. Comrade Sheng Muyi, if you are not 100% sure, you must not make any attempt in this area. You must not expose your identity. This is the first commandment given to you by the organization." Lao Guo
He said firmly.
Underground work is like walking on the edge of a knife, and a slight carelessness will cause serious consequences. Lao Guo, who experienced the April 12 tragedy, has learned a painful lesson in this regard.
Especially a wealthy woman like Sheng Muyi, who was pampered since childhood, cannot understand the cruelty of the revolutionary struggle. However, the experience of being a refugee in Hong Kong can be regarded as a kind of wealth for her.
