On a damp street, a middle-aged woman wearing a long cheongsam came to the door of a teahouse holding an umbrella. After looking back cautiously for a while, she put away the umbrella and walked in.
Since it was a rainy day, even though there were wall lamps on the wall, it was still very dark, so there were naturally very few customers in the store.
The woman walked to a corner, sat down, and ordered a pot of tea from the waiter. A deep male voice came from behind the screen, "We have had some internal problems recently."
"Is it serious?" the woman asked in a low voice while scanning the surrounding environment.
"The consequences are serious." The man behind the screen paused for a moment before continuing, "The printing plant of "Red Pioneer" magazine may be temporarily closed for a period of time. Your printing funds are temporarily deposited in a Hong Kong bank for backup.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man came over with a pot of tea. It was not until he left that the man continued: "The medical equipment you are responsible for purchasing has been transferred through Hong Kong and arrived at the front line. The task has been completed very well. Organizationally
Let me convey my thanks to you."
"Do you have any specific tasks for me?"
"We need you to continue to stay in your current position, maintain your identity and maintain normality, so that you can play a more important role in the future."
"I want to join the fight!"
The man paused and said seriously: "You have been fighting! You have never stopped."
"But I don't think so..."
The woman wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by the man, "That's because you underestimated your own energy. You provided funds for our party's activities and purchased a large amount of medicine and medical equipment for the front line. You have already contributed to the war of resistance."
You have made a huge contribution and saved many soldiers at the same time. Your identity is a natural protective umbrella. We need you. You have many advantages that we do not have. However, it is foreseeable that the Japanese are about to launch a large-scale
During the arrest operation, your first priority is to protect yourself, and remember not to act blindly."
Hearing this, although the woman's face looked a little helpless, she still said softly and firmly: "Yes!"
"In a few days, the list of urgently needed medicines for the frontline next month should be delivered. I will find a way to get in touch with you then."
As soon as these words came out, the woman's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great!"
"Also, I would like to remind you again that even though you have a special status, you must be extremely careful in your actions. Don't let the people on No. 76 catch any substantive evidence."
The woman nodded heavily after hearing this, "Yes, I understand!"
There was not much time, so the two of them got up and left the teahouse one after another.
However, none of them noticed that the entire process of their connection was clearly seen by a pair of eyes hidden in the dark...
After coming out of the teahouse, the man first glanced around the streets with few pedestrians, then held up an umbrella and walked towards a black car parked in the corner.
"Uncle Li." Sitting in the driver's seat was a young woman of about twenty years old. She had been waiting here for an unknown period of time. She greeted the man as soon as he got into the car.
But Uncle Li just nodded slightly, and then said in a commanding tone: "Drive!"
The young woman stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the street.
"Jinyun, the night before yesterday, the last few of our comrades lurking in No. 76 have also been confirmed to have died." Soon after the car started, Uncle Li, who was sitting in the back seat, said in a low voice to the man named Cheng Jinyun who was driving the car.
the young woman said.
After hearing this, Cheng Jinyun felt a little dazed and almost hit the car into a telephone pole on the roadside. Fortunately, Uncle Li warned him in time, which almost caused a disaster.
"Where?" After a long while, Cheng Jinyun finally calmed down and asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Abandoned Mine."
As soon as these words came out, there was a strange silence in the car. After a while, Uncle Li continued: "The first lurking team has all been killed so far, and there is a traitor among us."
"who?"
Hearing the word "traitor", Cheng Jinyun's nerves immediately became tense and he asked urgently.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Li shook his head and said, "I don't know, No. 76 may have executed the traitors as well."
"Hmph! That's Wang Manchun's usual style." Cheng Jinyun said disdainfully, "Our contact points are no longer available and we have to find another place."
"In addition to the latest instructions, our new superior will arrive in Shanghai soon."
"New superior?" Cheng Jinyun couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, "What about the fisherman?"
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Li immediately looked serious, "Comrade Cheng Jinyun, as a staunch lurker, you should not ask such a question, so I will not answer you!"
"Ah, sorry! Uncle Li, I just..."
Cheng Jinyun was about to explain when he was interrupted by Uncle Li raising his hand, "Okay, you don't need to explain to me. Remember, never bring personal emotions to work!"
"Yes! I understand, Uncle Li." Cheng Jinyun nodded solemnly and said, "Then...how do we contact our new superior?"
"He will post in the newspaper to find us. I don't know the specific time. Just wait for the order."
After that, Uncle Li sighed, leaned back slightly tiredly, and then turned to look out the car window. Everything outside was blurred by the continuous drizzle, as if it were now
The situation in Shanghai is so ordinary that people are immersed in it and unable to see clearly everything around them.
At the same time, in the teahouse where Uncle Li just met.
A big hand patted Li Qiang's shoulder unexpectedly, which scared him so much that he almost jumped up from his chair, "Okay, you understand! You actually came here to hide during work hours, making it difficult for me to find you."
!”
Li Qiang immediately turned around and saw that the person speaking was none other than Inspector Wang Erzhu, who was transferred from Manchuria Railway in Northeast China with him.
Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Brother Zhuzhu, how come you don't make any sound when you walk? Do you want to scare me to death?"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Erzhu immediately glared, "Hey! How many times have I told you to call me Inspector outside? Why can't you remember it?"
Li Qiang chuckled, "Hey, doesn't this show that we have a close relationship?"
As he spoke, he put an arm on Wang Erzhu's shoulder and helped him light a cigarette. Then he asked tentatively: "Brother Zhuzhu, why did you come all the way to catch me in person?"
Could it be that my brother and I have caused trouble again?"
Hearing this, Wang Erzhu slapped his forehead and said with a sudden realization: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot about the business when you interrupted me. Just now, Director Wang from No. 76 called me and asked you to come over by name.
.”
"What?" Li Qiang immediately jumped up from his stool after hearing this, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? No, I have to go there quickly. Just lend me your Phoenix first!"
"Oh, I said you..."
However, before Wang Erzhu could finish what he said, Li Qiang had already run out of the teahouse, quickly stepped onto the "Phoenix" bicycle parked at the door, kicked the escalator coolly, and sped away in the direction of No. 76
…
Ten minutes later, Li Qiang stood panting at the door of Wang Manchun's office.
"Report!"
"Come in."
Wang Manchun, who was sitting behind his desk, saw Li Qiang coming in and asked in a questioning tone: "Why did it take so long?"
"Replying to Director Wang, when I was patrolling the streets, I accidentally met the chairman of Ming's Enterprise, so..."
"Who are you talking about? Mirror?" Before Li Qiang could finish speaking, Wang Manchun immediately interrupted him. His right hand under the desk unconsciously clenched his fist. It wasn't until Li Qiang nodded to confirm that he seemed to grit his teeth and said
, "Go on, the more detailed the better, don't skip any details!"
