"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?" Chen Shen asked with his brows still furrowed. At the same time, he subconsciously put his right hand behind his back.
However, Mingtai just smiled and immediately comforted him: "Captain Chen, don't be so nervous! I just want to ask you a few questions, that's all."
"Really?" Chen Shen was still a little doubtful.
"Of course it's true! But before that..." Mingtai squatted down and said to Guo Qiyun who was guarding outside, "Adjutant Guo, go and do your business!"
After speaking, without waiting for Guo Qiyun's response, Mingtai closed the secret door on his own, and then deliberately lowered his voice and asked: "Captain Chen, there is something I want to verify with you. The newspaper said that Dingmo Village almost fell into a honey trap by the anti-Japanese elements some time ago and fell into the trap at the hands of a woman. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true!" Chen Shen said simply, "Not only that, if the old fox hadn't been too cautious, the assassination might have been successful!"
"Is he one of your people?"
"Is it important?" Chen Shen asked, "I have never cared about this kind of thing. In my opinion, as long as we are committed to resisting Japan, no matter men, women, old or young, regardless of political stance, we all deserve the respect of every Chinese! "
"Well said! What a lesson to be taught by men, women, old and young, regardless of political stance!" After saying that, Mingtai actually bowed to Chen Shen solemnly, and then continued to ask, "Well, brother, you... ...I just thought of nothing to do..."
"Of course we thought of ways, and even planned two rescue plans, but before we had time to implement them... alas!"
Hearing this, Mingtai's heart clenched unconsciously, and he asked cautiously: "The newspaper said that the person responsible for the execution of the female martyr seems to be an economic scholar? I really don't know those officials in the puppet government What do they think?"
"Young Master Lin, you don't know something about this." Before he finished speaking, Chen Shen immediately explained, "Yes, the Minglou responsible for the execution is indeed just the chief financial adviser working in the Economic Department of the puppet government, but That is just his public identity, and he also has another identity, that is, the deputy director of the Political Affairs Committee and the Special Affairs Committee!"
After hearing what he said, Mingtai pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "I see, then everything makes sense."
"Having said that, it seems to me that there is another hidden agenda in this matter."
As soon as these words came out, Mingtai's eyes lit up unconsciously, and he quickly asked: "How do you say it?"
"According to convention, since it is a secret execution, it should be kept strictly confidential. Not to mention the photos of the scene, even the candidates for the execution are kept secret, just like your assassin who assassinated Ji Yunqing before. Until now, it has been revealed Except for the few senior officials above, no one knows who ordered his execution or who executed him."
"So, they released those live photos on purpose?" Mingtai touched his chin and said solemnly, "But what is their purpose of doing this?"
"I think...probably to test that Commander Ming!"
"Testing? So, they suspect that Chief Ming is an anti-Japanese element?"
"Not only them, but I also think that he is most likely from the Anti-Japanese United Front."
After hearing this, Mingtai immediately asked: "Why do you say that?"
"Just after the execution was reported in the newspaper, I applied to the organization for an assassination operation against him out of desperation, but was rejected."
Hearing this, Mingtai's heart, which had been suppressed for a long time because of the assassination order, finally got a little release, and then he re-explored the deep meaning behind the assassination order on Shangfeng.
With this thought, he lost track of time. When he came to his senses, all the goods had been loaded onto the ship and were ready to leave the port.
"Team leader, the ferry mission has been completed, we have to go back!" Yu Manli walked to the secret door, knocked lightly a few times, and reported to Mingtai.
"I understand, you and Adjutant Guo should go back first! This mission is related to the cooperation between Guohong and Hong Kong. There must be no mistakes. I won't trust it if it is handed over to others."
"this……"
"What is this? Execute the order!"
"Yes!" Yu Manli saw that Mingtai had made up his mind, and it was hard to say anything in front of so many outsiders, so she could only respond and went to find Guo Qiyun.
Chen Shen on the side couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to value this mission so much. Mr. Chen is really flattered!"
"Don't get me wrong, I said that originally I just planned to come over and take a look before leaving. This situation is completely unplanned."
"Really?" Chen Shen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, "Then I dare to ask Mr. Lin why he changed his mind?"
"You don't have to ask! It's naturally because of your identity as a pretender. Although I don't know how you were exposed, I can be sure that your transfer was very hasty this time, and you must have left a lot of tails to deal with.
Right?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shen was finally shocked by Mingtai's agility, and then a complicated look flashed across his face, as if after some inner struggle, he finally made up his mind to treat Mingtai.
Said: "Okay! For the sake of our common resistance to Japan and the same ideals, I ask Mr. Lin to agree to my three requests..."
…
At the same time, on the pier.
"Manli, the ship has gone far." Guo Qiyun glanced at Yu Manli, who was still looking at the cargo ship that had long since disappeared into the night, and couldn't help but say.
"I know!" Yu Manli said quietly, "Thank you."
Guo Qiyun couldn't help being stunned, "Why do you want to thank me?"
"Stop pretending, you know why." After saying that, Yu Manli couldn't help but glance at the direction the cargo ship was leaving, "To be honest, I really hope that the team leader will leave like this and never come back again.
Maybe he won’t be in such a difficult situation.”
"Yes!" Guo Qiyun nodded in agreement, but then changed the subject, "But he also said that no matter what, he would not be a deserter."
"Is that why you didn't object?"
"Of course, I believe that the team leader is a man of his word, and I firmly believe that he can pass this test."
"Test? What test?" Yu Manli immediately grasped the key point of what Guo Qiyun just said and asked quickly.
Guo Qiyun was a bit vague but said, "No, it's nothing. By the way, since the ferry mission has been successfully completed, do you want to go have a drink?"
Yu Manli just squinted her eyes and did not go into details. Instead, she smiled charmingly and said, "Why don't you go drinking with me and give a report to your family first?"
Guo Qiyun also smiled, "For this kind of thing, it's better to deal with it first and then tell it later! What do you think?"
