A man wearing gray-blue overalls was passing by the window.
This is the third time he has walked out of the window. The first time he was wearing a plaid suit, the second time he put on a peaked cap and only had a shirt and vest left; and this time, he wore a cap over his shirt and vest.
I am now wearing this gray-blue work uniform.
But this wasn't the only one watching. In the hour just before the meal, at least three people had changed into nine outfits and passed by the window pretending to be passers-by.
Geng Chaozhong took another look at the remaining people in the restaurant. There were only two or three pairs of men and women chatting. Even if it was a French feast, few people could patiently eat for more than an hour. Most of the ones left behind were in love.
A couple.
After taking a look at Zhao Ersheng, I saw that the little girl's cheeks were red, and she had obviously discovered this.
Geng Chaozhong was a little hesitant about whether to go out with Zhao Ersheng. He was not sure that these groups of people were targeting him. Judging from the height and temperament of the people just now, they did not look like Japanese. Looking at their stalking routine, they looked a bit
It's like an activity mediated by the party.
But the party mediator came to Peiping to target him? This is not like the style of the party mediator. At least the probability is as low as less than 10%.
Apart from the Japanese and the party's mediators, who else would target me?
Could it be?
Geng Chaozhong pondered slightly...
He was a little hesitant. If Zhao Kezhen took action, he would definitely not target Zhao Ersheng. As long as he and Zhao Ersheng were together, there shouldn't be any danger.
But, what if not?
If their opponents are Japanese or party mediators, they don't care who is with them.
In an instant, Geng Chaozhong made a decision.
He must let Zhao Ersheng go first. This harmless little girl will not be a target. Even if it is for the purpose of not alerting others, no one outside will touch her.
"Mr. Zhou, let's go!" Zhao Ersheng next to him was already reminding Geng Chaozhong.
"Ouch!" Geng Chaozhong raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and slapped his forehead, "Look at my brain, I made an appointment with Manager Zhu from the Commercial Library at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and now at two o'clock, I have to go back and rush back.
It’s better to wait here! Otherwise, I won’t go back yet and sit here for a while before leaving.”
"Can I come with you?" Zhao Ersheng tilted his head.
"No, I'm going to the library and I don't know how long I will stay there. You should go back to school first." Geng Chaozhong waved.
"Oh well!"
Zhao Ersheng had no choice but to pick up the embroidered wallet on the table in disappointment and walked out the door.
.........
"My daughter has come out and is standing at the door now. She seems to be calling a rickshaw, but Fang Tu hasn't come out yet."
The curtains were lowered in a car at the intersection, and Zhao Kezhen was talking to his wife.
"That's just right. It saves us a lot of trouble. Don't worry about it for now and let your daughter go on her own." Zhao Kezhen said.
Originally, he thought he would have to send people to isolate his daughter, but now it was much easier and Zhao Kezhen suddenly became more confident about the success of the operation.
Soon, Zhao Ersheng called a rickshaw and left the scene.
"You can start now."
Seeing his daughter leaving, Zhao Kezhen calmed down and stretched his hand out of the window to make a gesture.
Not far away, three members of the action team dressed as passers-by understood the situation and slowly walked towards the door of Louis' restaurant from all directions.
Geng Chaozhong was still sitting quietly in the restaurant, gently shaking the remaining brandy in the goblet in his hand.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and he knew that the enemy was about to take action.
It's a pity that there are many police officers in Peiping who do not carry guns today. Unless they are on duty, in principle they do not carry guns when going out on the streets during the day.
But even if you carry a gun, can you really do it yourself?
Killing members of the Red Party with your own hands?
He is not willing to do this....
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the back door of the restaurant. There was an idle man smoking while leaning on a telephone pole. Geng Chaozhong understood that it would not be easy to rush out from here.
Break out the window?
He didn't know how many guns were pointed at him outside.
Geng Chaozhong smiled, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen of the restaurant.
"Mr. Hong, the target has gone to the back kitchen. I have sent my brothers to block the back door of the restaurant!" An action member walked to Zhao Kezhen's window.
"If I had known he had this trick, we would have sent our people in to eat, blocked him from inside the restaurant, and the rest of us would have gone to the back door!" Zhao Kezhen ordered.
After a while, several team members walked into the restaurant, each ordered a cup of coffee and sat down.
In the back kitchen of the restaurant, Geng Chaozhong was having a heated fight with a fat-bellied French chef.
"Dear sir, I didn't expect you to know so much about French culture. Have you ever been to France?" The French chef wearing a white chef's hat seemed to admire Geng Chaozhong.
"No, no, no. Although I have always longed for your country's culture, I have never been there. However, I have a French friend in Shanghai. We often chat together. To this day, I can still recite a passage from Madame Bovary.
:
She loves the sea just for its rough waves; she loves the grass just because the green grass embellishes the ruins."
"Okay sir, I admit that you know more than me. I guess your friend must be a beautiful lady." The French chef had an ambiguous smile on his face.
"Oh, this is a secret..." Geng Chaozhong smiled mysteriously, "But I can reveal a little bit, she is the daughter of a diplomat."
"Haha, I won't get to the bottom of it," the chef laughed generously, "By the way, are you a regular customer of this restaurant? How come I haven't seen you before?"
"I came here once, but that time alone made me fall deeply in love with the food here. The food you cooked is so authentic, not even inferior to the French restaurants in Shanghai. But I had something important to do at that time,
So, when I came to Peking again, when I knew that all this was done by you, I couldn't hold back the admiration in my heart and eagerly wanted to meet you!" Geng Chaozhong used exaggeration.
He said in a flattering tone.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment. Of course, I am also very confident in my craftsmanship." The chef said with a proud smile.
"By the way, my childhood dream was to be a French chef. I wonder if you can fulfill my little wish?" Geng Chaozhong made a timely request.
...........
"Why hasn't there been any movement?" Zhao Kezhen at the door couldn't hold it any longer.
More than ten minutes have passed, and there is no sound inside or outside the restaurant. Is this going to slip away?
At this moment, several operational team members in disguise in the restaurant also realized something was wrong. They exchanged glances, and one of them stood up and walked to the kitchen.
At this moment, at the back door of the restaurant, a fat man with a big belly and a white chef's hat walked out. He also held a huge swill bucket in his hand. A stench came from the swill bucket, which made
People "forget common customs as soon as they see them" and avoid them for fear of not being able to catch them.
The same thing happened to the two action team members guarding the door. They noticed the chef, but there were too many kitchen staff going to and from the back of the restaurant, so they didn't pay much attention to this foreigner with a tall nose and an extremely fat figure.
The fat man carried the swill bucket and gradually walked towards the entrance of the alley. There was an underground sewer there, and it seemed that he wanted to pour the swill there.
The two action team members yawned. At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the restaurant. Then, two people rushed out and shouted:
"Did anyone go out just now?!"
"Yes, there's a fat foreigner right over there!" One of them pointed to the entrance of the alley.
"It's him! Chase him quickly!" the leader shouted.
