Mr. Dong and An Yi looked at each other, and Mr. Dong nodded, meaning that Lu Ming's reasons were sufficient.
An Yi was noncommittal, but her expression had softened, and she felt that Lu Ming's words were sincere and not hypocritical, but she still remained vigilant in her heart.
"You have been interrogating me for a long time, but I also want to ask, why do you always don't believe me and suspect that I have intentions?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, are you not angry anymore?" Mr. Dong also laughed.
"Of course I'm a little angry, but I am a member of the Fuxing Society after all. If you think about it from my perspective, you have reasons to doubt me. There must be a reason why a wolf suddenly stops eating sheep," Lu Ming joked.
"You are thinking wrongly. I must remind you that we are not sheep." An Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I know that your soldiers are all tigers. Otherwise, it would be impossible for tens of thousands of people to resist the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of Central Army troops. If you become the main anti-Japanese force in the future, China's anti-Japanese cause will have hope.
" Lu Ming said.
"According to this, your prospects for the war against Japan are very pessimistic." An Yi said.
"Japan is an industrialized country no matter what, but our country is still in the agricultural era, and its economic and military strength are incomparable. What's more, Japan is united as a country, but we are torn apart. Faced with this reality, how can I not be pessimistic?
.”
This view was also expressed publicly by Lu Ming at a special meeting of the Nanjing Military Commission.
However, he knew that his words were soft-spoken, and although what he said was effective on the spot, no one paid attention to it afterwards.
"Because you agree with our party's anti-Japanese proposition, you are willing to move closer to us, is that right?" An Yi asked.
"Well, it's okay to say that I want to get closer to you, or it's more appropriate to say that I want to be an ally with you." Lu Ming said.
"You don't have the strength to be an ally. You are just one person, and we are a powerful organization." An Yi said.
"An Yi, please let Mr. Lu finish his sentence." Mr. Dong quickly stopped him.
"I'm telling the truth. Only those with equal strength can be allies. He is just one person and cannot be our ally. He can only be our friend." An Yi dismissed Mr. Dong.
"That's because there is something wrong with my expression. In fact, friends and allies are the same thing, they support each other. However, until now, I have never understood the reason why you are hostile to me?" Lu Ming was also very interested in this point.
.
Mr. Dong told An Yi's speculation about Lu Ming, and Lu Ming laughed after hearing it.
"Don't tell me yet. This is indeed possible in theory, but you are overestimating me. I don't have such big ambitions. I am a typical liberal, not a conspirator." Lu Ming felt his own
Their world view has been completely washed away.
"Mr. Lu, you said that Fuxing Society got An Yi's photo. What happened?" Mr. Dong asked.
Lu Ming told the story of Weng Bailing and Xiao Chu's conspiracy.
"What, I just said a few words and they could guess so much?" An Yi said a little surprised.
"Do you think the police and agents of the Fuxing Society are just freeloaders? After you were arrested, you put on a desperate resistance posture, which completely exposed your identity."
"Will your identity be revealed if you don't speak?" An Yi asked in shock.
"Yes, for agents, shutting up means exposing themselves. Otherwise, when faced with interrogation by the police or agents, they must not only speak, but also speak more, but they must be able to justify themselves. This can buy time and confuse the opponent.
idea." Lu Ming said.
"Then what should we do? An Yi, if the Fuxing Society sends people to Wuhan with photos to check, can they find out your identity?" Mr. Dong was a little panicked.
An Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment, but did not answer immediately.
"Wuhan is so big, they shouldn't be able to find anything," she said after a while.
"You are wrong. They will be able to find out your details very soon. Let's put it this way, if I go to check, I will first go to the Women's High School or Women's Normal School in Wuhan. You should have graduated from these two schools. I would rather
Prefer the latter."
When Lu Ming said these words, his expression was relaxed, as if he was playing.
"Ah, how did you see that?" An Yi's face showed a nervous look.
"If you are a member of the Communist Party, you should have participated in the student movement in school. At that time, you should have joined the Communist Party or been an activist. If you are a leader of the student movement, you will definitely be in the student movement.
The police station leaves records. As long as you go to the Hankou Police Station, you can check it accurately." Lu Ming continued.
"An Yi, is Mr. Lu's guess correct? Is this the case?" Mr. Dong asked.
"During the April 12 Massacre, I was on the massacre list. Internal comrades informed me in advance. I escaped from Wuhan overnight," An Yi said.
"Then we must prevent people from the Fuxing Society from going to Wuhan, or let comrades from Wuhan intervene to destroy all evidence in advance." Mr. Dong was anxious.
"The underground party organization in Wuhan hasn't been established yet, so they probably can't be contacted. But my original name was not An Yi, and they couldn't match my number," An Yi said.
"But they have your photo, so the police at the time would definitely be able to recognize you." The street name said.
"Then take the photo back. I'll ask the comrades in Shanghai to find a way to get the photo back from the policeman," Mr. Dong said.
"It's useless. It will only alert the snake and show that An Yi really has a problem. Then they will send people to watch outside the apartment building. As long as An Yi goes out, they will take photos and monitor her. It's impossible for An Yi not to leave the apartment door for several years.
Right." Lu Ming said.
"According to what you said, An Yi is really in danger. What should we do?" Mr. Dong felt that it was difficult.
"I might be a drag on you here, otherwise I'd better withdraw to the base first." An Yi said with some reluctance.
"You withdrawing now will not affect their investigation. As long as they find you, Old Dong will be implicated in the end. After all, you claim to be husband and wife. Since you are a Communist Party, you can think of who Old Dong is.
I understand." The road name said.
"this……"
An Yi really regretted it. She never expected that her carelessness would lead to such serious consequences.
She closed her eyes and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Actually, you are also implicated by me. Weng Bailing wants to deal with me and can't find a breakthrough in me, so he wants to make a fuss about you. Let me handle this matter for you." Lu Ming said.
"How do you want to handle it so that it doesn't make the matter bigger?" Mr. Dong asked worriedly.
"Of course I have my own methods, so you don't have to worry about it. But you'd better ask your superiors to quickly get a resume for An Yi and you that can withstand verification. If your people can't do it, I'll help you.
Do. The resume must have a reliable certifier, and the time and location must match." Lu Ming said.
"Okay, I will hurry up and handle this matter." Mr. Dong said.
"That's it, the sooner you get experience, the better. Without reliable experience, you won't be able to survive in Shanghai for a long time. If you stay for one more day, you will be in greater danger." Lu Ming stood up after speaking.
"Mr. Lu, thank you. But I still have something to trouble you with," said Mr. Dong.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ming didn't expect that at this critical moment, Mr. Dong was still thinking about other issues.
"I want to borrow 100,000 yuan from you. Of course I will give you an IOU, but I will have to wait until the revolution is successful before I can repay you with interest." Mr. Dong said, feeling a little embarrassed himself.
"One hundred thousand yuan? What do you need so much money for?" Lu Ming was a little surprised.
"If you can't come up with that much at the moment, fifty thousand is fine." Mr. Dong felt that he was being too bold.
Even if Lu Ming is a rich man, he can't always spend 100,000 yuan.
But the matter is urgent, and Mr. Dong can't take care of it anymore and can't wait any longer.
An Yi is now in a special situation and may withdraw at any time. It is unrealistic to expect her to contact the Shanghai underground party to raise money.
Mr. Dong thought about it in his mind for a long time. The only way was to speak to Lu Ming, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task assigned by his superiors.
Mr. Dong also knew that asking for 100,000 yuan was a bit overwhelming, but the arrow was on the string and he had to take action.
Mr. Dong looked at Lu Ming longingly.
At this moment, his only hope was to get an answer from Lu Ming that would make him and An Yi breathe a sigh of relief.
