"Who are you talking about? Uncle Gu?" Haitang, who was busy processing orders from the Chamber of Commerce in the office, asked with surprise after listening to Li Qiang's words, "Who are you talking about?"
"Of course he told me personally! Tell me the truth, is this Gu Minzhang one of ours?"
"I really don't know about this." Haitang said truthfully, "I only know that Boss Dai did have the intention to recruit him into his subordinates at the beginning, but until the war broke out, he was unable to do so."
"Oh, that's right..." Upon hearing this, Li Qiang just nodded and did not continue to ask any more questions.
But at this moment, Haitang suddenly asked in a confused manner, "When are you leaving?"
Li Qiang couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, "Where are you going?"
“Hangzhou!”
"How did you know I was going to Hangzhou?"
"What's the point? Even if it's just a decision, the news that the East China Suppression Command is about to be established in Hangzhou has already spread within the puppet government and has become an open 'secret'. I didn't look at Hangzhou early this morning.
Are all the officials, big and small, almost crushing the threshold of Qian Huyi's family?"
"So? Are you going to come with me?"
Haitang replied confidently: "Of course! I am your life and death partner, and my public identity is your fiancée, why don't you go?"
Li Qiang narrowed his eyes after hearing this and continued to ask: "What else?"
"There is also an urgent call from the headquarters, asking you to regularly report on the internal situation of the East China Suppression General. Do you think I can stop following you?"
"Hmph! I knew it! Forget it, Zhou Fohai also gave me a similar job anyway. We are short of a telegraph operator, so I simply handed over the reporting work to you as well, which is an extra layer of cover."
"So...you agreed?"
"The headquarters has an order, can I refuse to agree?" Li Qiang pretended to be angry and said, "But once we leave, Shanghai..."
"Don't worry, the headquarters in Shanghai will send someone over to take over our work."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help but frown, "Send someone again? Who?"
Haitang curled her lips and said, "You know what you are asking! Who else could it be besides Ade?"
Hearing this, Li Qiang's brows furrowed even more.
Speaking of this Ade, his full name is Liu Quande. Although he is younger than Li Qiang and is less than twenty-five years old this year, he quickly became the deputy leader of the God of Wealth Team with his agile skills and almost perfect marksmanship.
seat.
However, Liu Quande was young and energetic at the time, and accidents occurred in almost every operation. The last time, he even lost nearly half of his team members because of his command errors.
Although Li Qiang and he had a pretty good relationship on weekdays, he made such a serious and fatal mistake. Even if Li Qiang couldn't bear it, he had to report it truthfully. It didn't take long for Liu Quande to be dismissed from the Chongqing headquarters.
All positions were transferred back to Chongqing and assigned to an insignificant department to meditate on my past.
"Speaking of which, the last time we met was two years ago. How is he?" Li Qiang asked with emotion.
Haitang replied truthfully: "It's like he has changed. He has been silent all day and has nothing to say to anyone."
"It's no wonder. After all, after suffering such a big blow, it's impossible for him to be fine at all. It's just that he seems to have changed from one extreme to another! I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing..."
"You can rest assured about this. As far as I know, in addition to Ade, the headquarters has also sent him a deputy this time."
"Deputy? Who is it?"
"It seems to be a woman named Han Bing."
"Han Bing? Why don't I remember that there is such a number one person next to Boss Dai?" Li Qiang couldn't help but pondered after hearing this.
"You don't have to think about it, you must have used a pseudonym! However, being able to be personally ordered by Boss Dai is probably not much different. I think you should be able to control Ade a little to prevent him from doing something stupid."
?”
"I hope so!" Hearing this, Li Qiang couldn't help but sigh, "By the way, remember to say hello to A Ping and Doctor Yang in advance."
"knew."
…
It was night, in a private house in the French Concession.
"...That's it. The task assigned to our team by the organization is to secretly monitor the movements of the East China Suppression General. In a few days, Acheng and I will leave for Hangzhou. In order not to arouse unnecessary suspicion, Sister Mei,
You and Shitou can follow you at a suitable time. As for Aping...due to your status in the military command, you should stay in Shanghai temporarily so that we can keep abreast of the situation here. Is that okay?"
"No problem!" everyone said in unison.
"Very good! Cheng!"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng took out three pamphlets from his arms and handed them to A Ping, Yu Mei and Shitou respectively.
Just when the three of them were still a little confused, Li Qiang's voice rang again, "This is the contact code book exclusive to our group. It is exactly eight o'clock now. I hope you can send the code before nine o'clock."
If you memorize the contents of this book verbatim, it will be a test for you."
As soon as these words came out, the three people looked at each other subconsciously. Although they were very surprised by Li Qiang's move, no one raised any objections. Suddenly, the only thing left in the room was the "clattering" of the pages turning.
the sound of.
An hour is neither short nor long. As the hourly bell rang on time, this sudden test ended on time.
"Okay! Time's up!" Before he finished speaking, Cheng took away the code pads from the three people's hands, and at the same time gave them a pen and a piece of blank paper respectively.
After everything was ready, Li Qiang continued: "Next, I will simulate sending with my fingers, and then you will record and decipher it. Watch it."
As he spoke, Li Qiang tapped his index finger rhythmically on the table, simulating sending a message. The three people on the opposite side stared at Li Qiang's fingers intently while quickly recording on the paper.
Soon, Li Qiang's fingers stopped, "How's it going? Is it deciphered?"
Before she finished speaking, Yu Mei was the first to hand the piece of paper to Li Qiang and said calmly: "Okay, please take a look at it, team leader."
Li Qiang took the piece of paper, scanned it briefly, and showed a happy smile on his face: "Not bad! He is indeed an experienced underground man, and he is really excellent in professional skills."
Just as he was talking, Aping's voice also sounded, "Report to the team leader, I have finished the translation."
But the moment Li Qiang's eyes fell on the piece of paper written by A Ping, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, "Three mistakes were made, so it's just so-so!"
Li Qiang said while pointing out A Ping's mistakes one by one on the paper.
After speaking, Li Qiang walked slowly to Shitou, looked at the empty white paper in front of him and asked: "Brother Shitou, why don't you write?"
However, the stone replied very simply: "I am illiterate. Political Commissar Yuan only asked me to be responsible for protecting Miss Yu's safety and did not allow me to contact intelligence matters."
Hearing this, Li Qiang raised his fist and hit the stone without saying a word. The stone immediately raised his hand to parry without hesitation, and the two of them fought together.
At first, Shitou was still a little reluctant to let go, but facing Li Qiang's attacks one after another like a tidal wave, he had to use his special skills and fight with Li Qiang with all his strength.
The two sides fought hard with fists and kicks.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Qiang suddenly raised his hand and said to Shitou: "Stop! That's enough, brother Shitou, I probably already understand your skills, that's it for now!"
After speaking, Li Qiang straightened his clothes and said to everyone as if nothing had happened: "I'm sorry, everyone. Time is urgent, so I had to take this step to understand your respective abilities and specialties as much as possible, and also
Please forgive me. Next, we will act under the eyes of the enemy, and any small mistake may have extremely serious consequences, so I hope everyone can make corresponding psychological preparations in advance."
Before he finished speaking, Aping was the first to speak: "Don't worry, team leader, as early as the first day we became an underground party, we were already prepared to sacrifice at any time."
Li Qiang shook his head without thinking, "No, in my opinion, sacrifice is not terrible, but failure to complete the task is the most terrible thing. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Okay, then let's get here today, and you can go back and get ready!"
"yes!"
…
Three days later, after completing the relevant procedures, Li Qiang, Acheng and Haitang immediately drove to the Chenglu Villa located on the bank of the West Lake.
"Wow, this is the legendary Hangzhou Palace. It is indeed extraordinary!" As soon as the group walked into the gate of Chenglu, Haitang couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.
Before he finished speaking, Sun Kai, who had arrived before everyone else, trotted over with his subordinates and lined up to greet him, "Section Chief, all members of the guard team of the East China Suppression Bandit Headquarters are reporting to you!"
As soon as these words came out, the subordinates all stood up and said in unison: "Hello, section chief!"
Li Qiang nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, he looks quite energetic! How is it, Captain Sun, is the situation going well here?"
"It went well. I have cleaned everything inside and out according to your wishes. The architectural design drawings of the staff dormitories have also been drawn. Construction will start today and is expected to be completed in three months. The water and electricity are all ready.
We also specially pulled a dedicated line back from the telecommunications building..."
While Li Qiang listened carefully to Sun Kai's report, he inspected every corner of Chenglu, for fear of missing anything. Meanwhile, Acheng on the side faithfully performed his duties as a personal assistant, holding a notebook and kept reading.
What was written on it? Only Haitang kept looking left and right, seemingly carelessly, but in fact he was observing and recording every architectural structure in Chenglu.
After a round of inspection, Li Qiang breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Sun Kai with great relief: "Well done, Captain Sun, I am very satisfied with the results of your work."
As he spoke, he pointed to the two buildings in front of the main building and asked: "Captain Sun, your guard team plans to use that building as a guard building?"
Sun Kai quickly replied: "You decide, we will use which building you want us to use."
"Well, let's go! In that case, I'll forgive you and use the building on the left as a guard building. As for the building on the right... it would be too wasteful if it is just used as a canteen. So I'm going to
Convert it into a guest house. As for the person in charge of the guest house, this Gu Haitang, Miss Gu, will be in charge. The specific renovation plan will be drawn up by her, so you just execute it and report all expenses to Cheng."
"Yes! Section Chief, don't worry, I will fully cooperate with you."
"Very good!" After saying that, Li Qiang turned to Haitang and said, "I'll leave this to you. Acheng and I will go to the logistics office."
After saying that, Li Qiang took Acheng out of Chenglu and went straight to the logistics office.
It is said to be a logistics office, but it is actually a warehouse located in the Hangzhou port area.
But as soon as the two of them arrived near the warehouse, they saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the warehouse from a distance, and cars were coming and going in a lively manner, which immediately made the two of them a little confused.
After looking at each other, the two got out of the car and walked over.
"May I ask this little brother, is this the logistics department?" Li Qiang walked up to a guy who looked like a manager and asked politely.
"Yes, this is the logistics office. Are you two here to discuss business?" Perhaps seeing that Li Qiang and Acheng were not dressed like ordinary people, the manager subconsciously mistook them for each other.
The boss who came to discuss business.
Li Qiang immediately followed his words and said: "Yes, we are just here to discuss business. Could you please help me make an introduction?"
With that said, Li Qiang quietly stuffed two pieces of ocean into the man's hand.
Not to mention that this trick was really effective. After getting two pieces of ocean, the manager's face immediately turned into a smile. His attitude towards the two of them also improved several levels. He took the two of them here without saying a word.
In front of a wooden house built in a warehouse.
"Two bosses, our director is right inside. You can just go in directly. But there is one thing. After you two go in, please explain your purpose directly. Don't talk in circles. Our director hates people talking in circles!"
"Okay, I understand, thank you, little brother."
"You're welcome, come in quickly!" After saying that, the man left.
Li Qiang followed what the man just said and opened the door and walked in without even knocking.
In the room, a tall, fat, black man was sitting behind his desk, spitting and counting the bills in his hand. He was not angry when someone came in without knocking, and without even raising his eyelids, he said to himself: "
What's going on?"
Li Qiang pulled up a chair, sat down, and said straight to the point: "You must be Director Ding of the Logistics Department, right? My surname is Ming, and I'm here to discuss business with you."
As soon as these words came out, Director Na Ding immediately put down the money in his hand and asked with bright eyes: "Business talk? Easy! Do you want to buy or sell?"
