Shortly after the car carrying Hou Liang drove away, An Yi saw the woman walking out of the hotel with her child. Instead of taking a car, they walked, followed by a secret agent.
Although the Fuxing Society was rich, they did not buy that many cars. Their main task was to protect Hou Liang, so they only allocated one car. The woman and her child walked to the home of an English teacher every day for classes.
An Yi had no interest in the woman and the child and looked at them casually. If she hadn't wanted to observe what happened when Hou Liang came back, she would have been ready to leave the teahouse.
Although the situation when Hou Liang goes out and comes back every day is similar, there are still some differences. He needs to observe carefully and make the best plan to avoid making mistakes while busy.
Fully observing every move of the assassination target is the basic homework for completing this special task. If a mistake is made due to negligence, the price paid will be death.
Suddenly, An Yi opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
what happened?
An Yi saw two masked men quietly following up from behind. One of them suddenly slapped the agent hard on the neck, causing the agent to fall down.
A car parked not far away suddenly started and stopped when it drove next to them.
Two people jumped out of the car and said something to Hou Liang's woman and child. The frightened woman and child hurriedly climbed into the car.
Several people looked around and quickly jumped into the car. The car immediately started and drove away like a gust of wind, leaving only a trail of rubber tires rubbing against the ground.
How is this going?
An Yi was stunned.
Who are these people? What do they want to do?
Could it be that they are our own people, right? Why did the comrades of the underground party take away Hou Liang’s woman and child?
An Yi couldn't figure it out for a while.
Pedestrians on the roadside were shocked when they saw this scene. It took a while before someone came over to help the agent up.
After the agent woke up, he started shouting and ran back to the White Swan Hotel. After a while, a truck drove over quickly and jumped out of a dozen soldiers with rifles. They inspected the crime scene and talked to each other.
What are you talking about.
Twenty minutes later, a large number of police officers arrived. They said something to the soldiers, and the soldiers left in trucks.
At this time, Hou Liang also came back by car. Facing this scene, he shouted to the sky and cried. The two agents who accompanied him were at a loss to comfort him.
At this time, more and more people were gathering, and An Yi knew it was time for her to evacuate. According to the procedures, the police would seal the road, and then interview the surrounding witnesses and take notes. She did not want to face the police face to face.
An Yi quietly slipped out of the teahouse's back door, then got into a rickshaw and went home.
Along the way, An Yi was in a panic. All her ideas were rejected as soon as they came up. She really couldn't figure out why this happened.
"What, Hou Liang's woman and child were taken away?" Mr. Dong felt unbelievable when he heard the news.
"Do you think it was our people who did it? I mean people from the anti-rape team?" An Yi asked with a frown.
"I'm confused by what you said. It is said that there are strict regulations in the organization, and no retaliation is allowed against the traitor's family. No one dares to violate this principle. Doing so is not only inhumane, but also meaningless." Mr. Dong said.
.
"It's not necessarily revenge. It's possible that our people took away Hou Liang's women and children to warn Hou Liang to leave a way out for him and not to do anything wrong." An Yi guessed.
"There is no way out for Hou Liang. Ever since he betrayed the revolution and betrayed his comrades, he has been standing on the edge of a cliff with no way out." Mr. Dong said with a shrug.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Could it be that there was internal strife among the spies? Did other spies take away the woman and the child?" An Yi asked.
"If they snatched Hou Liang away, it is possible, but if they just took away the woman and child, what could they do?" Mr. Dong felt that it didn't seem like it.
"I'm using this to intimidate Hou Liang. I want to get some profit from him," An Yi said.
"You mean that group had at least four people and a car, right?" Mr. Dong said.
"Yes, there are four people."
"Then they are not our people. If it were an anti-corruption team, they could attack Hou Liang directly. With four people and one car, they could kill Hou Liang and three agents and then escape the scene safely," Mr. Dong analyzed.
.
"Uh, yes, there is no need for the anti-rape team to capture Hou Liang's women and children." An Yi scratched her head, feeling confused.
She is still not used to the complicated situation in the metropolis where various forces are vying with each other. It is too chaotic. Unlike in the base area, both the enemy and the enemy are clearly aware of each other. Even for enemies within her own body, it is just a series of screening tasks.
The goal is clear and the method of struggle is simple.
During this time in Shanghai, An Yi felt that the things happening around him were all strange, some were completely unreasonable, and some were reasonable but incomprehensible.
For example, the Japanese kidnapped Ning Xiner, why? It’s a complete mess.
There were two people in another place. After hearing about this incident, they were also confused.
Hou Liang's woman and child were kidnapped, which made Dai Li and Weng Bailing, who were drinking tea in the Fuxing Club, tense up.
The two of them hurried to the scene with about ten followers, watched the scene, and then entered the hotel to comfort Hou Liang for a while.
Hou Liang was like a dead person now, with no sparkle in his eyes. His whole body was like a puddle of mud and he was slumped in the wheelchair. He didn't listen to a word of comfort from Dai Li and Weng Bailing.
Dai Li and Weng Bailing sighed unconsciously. They knew that this incident would be a fatal blow to Hou Liang.
They did not reprimand the agent who was protecting Hou Liang's woman and child. He was not wrong. He was just alone. Facing four well-prepared agents, he was obviously unable to resist. It would be good to save his life.
"Stationmaster Weng, who do you think did it?" Dai Li asked.
"Who else can there be besides the Communist Party?" Weng Bailing said with a bitter smile.
"It's strange. If it was the Communist Party, why didn't they attack Hou Liang and only took away the woman and the child?" Dai Li had doubts in his heart.
"I think this is a warning to Hou Liang, to scare Hou Liang and make him afraid to cooperate with us," Weng Bailing said.
"What you say makes sense, but it's still a bit reluctant. I remember that the Communist Party's approach has always been to eliminate rape and never attack family members. This is the principle they flaunt." Dai Li said.
"Perhaps the failure to rob people at the Army General Hospital last time taught them a profound lesson. They don't dare to attack by force, so they can only use this despicable method, like chickens crowing and dogs stealing." Weng Bailing said with a smile.
Dai Li felt that Weng Bailing's words seemed to be deliberately trying to please him. If such things were not done by the Communist Party, it means that the Fuxing Society was too bad.
Although Dai Li felt that there were loopholes in Weng Bailing's words, he did not want to refute him. In fact, it did not matter whether the Communist Party did this or not. What was important was that Hou Liang could not be robbed away again.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to the commission.
After Ning Xiner's incident was messed up, the Sino-Japanese joint anti-communist plan also aborted. The turbulent situation in Shanghai could not be resolved in time. In the end, Lu Ming issued a military order to the committee and used social relations to calm it down.
If the traitor to the Communist Party who has been caught is inexplicably snatched away again, how can I be embarrassed to take over the job of the president of the Renaissance Society? Aren't you ashamed?
As Dai Li thought about it, his face felt hot and sweat broke out on his back. Weng Bailing acted like a normal person and used the tone of a superior to enlighten Hou Liang.
"Stationmaster Weng, there are three more agents here, and they must be equipped with rifles and submachine guns. Hou Liang must not let them succeed again." Dai Li couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Weng Bailing's showmanship.
Weng Bailing stood up to respond to Dai Li, immediately left the room, and selected three people to stay behind among the agents who followed him to strengthen the protection of Hou Liang.
Hou Liang's performance was very successful, and neither Dai Li nor Weng Bailing suspected that it was a ruse that he wrote and directed.
It's no wonder that they all know that Hou Liang is alive only because of his woman and children. Without his woman and children, it will be difficult for him to live. How could he let others take away his women and children?
The police began to interview witnesses, including surrounding businesses and residents, and then collected various information to determine the nature of the case.
The Fuxing Society itself is also investigating, but this is a criminal case after all and falls within the scope of police law enforcement, so police intervention is inevitable.
Dai Li did not object to the police's intervention. On the contrary, he had a phone call with the police chief. He hoped that the police department could solve the case as soon as possible. If the Fuxing Society needed any cooperation, Fuxing Society would try its best to do it.
Dai Li knew that the police officers in the police station were local cowards and were more familiar with the situation in Shanghai than the agents of the Fuxing Society. This case really depended on the police station to solve the case. If the case could not be solved, it would be good to provide clues.
