In An Yi's mind, those who are not her comrades are her enemies. She does not believe that there will be friends and allies in different camps.
An Yi didn't know what was going on with Mrs. Sun, and what was going on with Mr. Li Jishen, the vice principal of Huangpu Military Academy, and was unwilling to ask Mr. Dong.
She does not believe that there is help and enthusiasm for no reason in this world. If someone does this and does it for a long time, it means that this person has a very big conspiracy and is fishing for a big fish.
This is her analysis and judgment of Lu Ming. It is very simple and direct.
"Why don't you speak? Are you mute? I'm right, right?" An Yi said proudly.
With a look of confusion and pain on his face, Mr. Dong silently boiled a pot of water and started brewing coffee. His movements looked almost like a robot, very stiff.
An Yi sat at the table, watching Mr. Dong drinking fragrant coffee and smoking Sanwu brand cigarettes with gold rims, and couldn't help but feel cramped in her heart.
In her opinion, Mr. Dong could not resist the temptation and had been completely corrupted by Lu Ming, turning him into a degenerate who was greedy for material enjoyment and had weak revolutionary will. This was an extremely dangerous sign.
When working underground in prosperous metropolises like Shanghai, Wuhan, and Guangzhou, the biggest enemy is often not the Kuomintang agents, but whether they can withstand the prosperity and material enjoyment of the metropolis.
If you are dazzled by the prosperity of the metropolis, are greedy for enjoyment or cannot resist the temptation of women, it means that you are corrupt and may rebel and surrender to the enemy at any time.
The underground party has learned a profound and painful lesson in this regard, which is why An Yi repeatedly opposed Mr. Dong and Lu Ming's interactions.
The great traitor Gu Shunzhang is the most vivid negative example. He was greedy for material enjoyment and female sex, and tried various ways to make money in Hankou. In the end, he was exposed and captured by the enemy, and he immediately rebelled and surrendered to the enemy.
Gu Shunzhang mastered the high secrets of the underground party. His rebellion almost destroyed the entire Central Special Branch, including the entire underground party organization in Wuhan, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
It can be said that his rebellion and surrender to the enemy is the biggest stain in the history of the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party.
Mr. Dong is hiding in Shanghai and holds no less secrets than Gu Shunzhang did at the time. He is the secret channel and hub between the headquarters and the Shanghai underground party.
If Mr. Dong is recruited by the enemy, it will be a disaster for the Shanghai underground party. Even the headquarters will be affected, and many of the party's confidential information will fall into the hands of the enemy.
An Yi secretly made up her mind that if that day really comes, she will beat Mr. Dong to death without hesitation and then commit suicide.
The enemy must not be allowed to get even a single sentence of useful information from Mr. Dong's mouth.
Thinking of these, An Yi's mood gradually stabilized.
Lu Ming returned to his room and immediately picked up the phone. He first called Zhang Ziyang and asked for the number of Director Xiao of the Sixth Branch.
"What do you want from him?" Zhang Ziyang thought something had gone wrong again.
"I suddenly remembered something and asked him to ask." Lu Ming said succinctly.
Zhang Ziyang didn't ask any further questions and directly gave him the phone number of the office of the Director of the Sixth Branch.
Lu Ming called, and when Director Xiao answered the phone, he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it was Lu Ming. His voice was immediately filled with flattery and fear.
"Master Lu, what instructions do you have?"
"I dare not take the instructions seriously. I suddenly remembered something. When you arrested my cousin, did you take pictures of her?" Lu Ming asked.
"This... seems... to be filmed," Director Xiao said hesitantly.
"Don't be like, if you dare to lie about whether it was taken or not, don't blame me for being rude." Lu Ming said sternly.
"It was taken. It was indeed taken. Mr. Lu, don't be surprised. We didn't know she was your cousin at the beginning." Director Xiao said with a trembling voice.
"Have the films been developed?" Lu Ming continued to ask.
"It was flushed, and it was flushed out on the same day." Director Xiao did not dare to hide it.
"How many pictures are developed, it cannot be similar, it must be approximate, it must be an accurate number." Lu Ming stared closely and refused to give an inch.
"Uh, this... I really don't know. I'm going to ask now." Director Xiao went to check in a panic.
"No need to ask, you immediately send someone to send me the negatives and all the photos. The address is Room 208, Wanguo Apartment. If anyone dares to keep one privately, I will talk to you later." Lu Ming said in an official tone.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'll do it right away."
Director Xiao immediately went out and asked someone to put the negatives and all the photos into a leather file bag, and sent a reliable person to deliver them to Lu Ming.
After the person who sent the photos left, Director Xiao couldn't help but lament in his heart, he was the one in charge, how could he be in such bad luck?
But what he didn't notice was that when a person was packing the photos, he secretly left one and put it in his bag. This person was the person he chose to be sure, his nephew Xiao Chu.
After putting down the phone, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt a little panicked and didn't know what was wrong.
Lu Ming immediately called An Gonggen again and heard a lot of noise on the phone.
"Why is it so noisy? Is there someone in your house?" Lu Ming asked.
"Haha, it's Master Lu. We have nothing to do. Several brothers are drinking together." An Gonggen said with a smile.
"You guys are brave enough to drink alcohol during working hours." Lu Ming said coldly.
"Young Master Lu, don't worry. We are just having a good time and won't get drunk. If anything happens, you can always give us instructions." An Gonggen is not afraid of Lu Ming, he knows Lu Ming very well.
"Let them go out for a while. I'll come to you if I have something to do." Lu Ming said succinctly.
"You bastards, get out of here, I'm going to discuss something big with Station Master Lu." An Gonggen yelled on the phone.
After a while, the phone went quiet.
"I want to give you an errand. Help me keep an eye on a person." Lu Ming said.
"Who is it?" An Gonggen sobered up immediately.
"Weng Bailing." Lu Ming said word by word.
"Stationmaster Weng..." An Gonggen said in surprise.
"Yes, that's him. Help me keep an eye on him and see who he has been in contact with these past few days, what he has said, and where he has gone." Lu Ming made a comprehensive request for tracking.
"Master Lu, may I know the reason?" An Gonggen asked.
"We can't do it now. We'll talk about it later. But this is not an order, but my personal request. You don't have to accept it." Lu Ming said with a faint smile.
"Master Lu, look at what you said, your words are orders to me, I will send someone to keep an eye on him right away." An Gonggen also said with a smile.
"No, only you can know this matter, and you can only do it." Lu Ming put forward higher requirements.
An Gonggen was silent for a while, and then whispered: "I understand, how long should I keep an eye on him."
"One week, I will decide whether to continue after one week. This matter must be kept strictly confidential." Lu Ming said.
"Master Lu, I heard that this guy seems to be fighting for power with you. Why don't you kill him quietly?" An Gonggen whispered.
"Don't be so smart. You absolutely can't do this kind of thing. Even if you do it, you can't do it." Lu Ming warned sternly.
"What you said makes sense." An Gonggen said.
Lu Ming put down the phone and felt relieved again.
An Yi really lacked experience in underground work. She thought that if she didn't give the police any information, the police would not be able to find out her whole story.
In fact, she has left enough information to the police. The first thing is her accent. She is from Hankou, Wuhan. The characteristics are too obvious.
Her temperament also gives people enough information, indicating that she at least graduated from a women's high school, and more likely from a women's normal school, and the school is in Wuhan.
A person's accent is the most telling thing. If a person leaves his hometown when he is young, his accent will change, and the two accents will be mixed together, making it less pure.
If a person's accent is particularly pure, it means that the person did not leave his hometown until he was at least an adult.
An Yi's Hankou accent is very pure, which shows that she received a complete education in her hometown. It doesn't matter whether she continues to live in Wuhan or leaves.
The clues left by An Yi are enough for the police to track and locate her movements. If they get hold of her photos, she will have almost nowhere to hide.
On this point, An Yi is completely different from Mr. Dong, who has been working in Shanghai for a long time.
Therefore, Mr. Dong did not want to discuss the issue with An Yi at all. No matter how he said it, it was totally wrong, and it was impossible to reach a consensus.
The work of underground workers is like walking a tightrope. It is true that they need to be cautious and step by step, but when it is time to be bold, they must give it a go. If they are unable to hold back, they will miss the opportunity to fight.
This is Mr. Dong's attitude towards Lu Ming. He knows that there are certain risks, but he must bravely bear this risk, otherwise he might as well close the business.
