Between the military and the CCP, Lu Chengzhou would choose the latter without hesitation.
In order for the comrades in the party organization to lurk smoothly, Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to sacrifice the military commander.
After the military commanders entered, the CCP people had already quietly lurked.
At that time, it will be difficult for the military commanders to make any discoveries.
The military commander had an operation in the evening, so Lu Chengzhou deliberately stayed at the military police unit until ten o'clock.
This was his normal off-duty time. After returning, he went to the Public Security Bureau again and discussed with Ma Hougu about the Chinese and Western Pharmacy.
"Uncle Ma, don't worry, just do it boldly, I'll take care of everything." Lu Chengzhou handed Ma Hougu a cigarette, but the other party didn't take it and waved his hand.
Mahougu works with medicinal materials all day long and never smokes.
"I'm just worried that I'll lose your hard-earned money." Ma Hougu smiled honestly. This was what he was most worried about.
If it's your own money, you don't have such worries. After all, if you lose, you lose, and you'll have to start over again.
"With me here, how can you lose money?" Lu Chengzhou said comfortingly.
Besides, his money is not hard-earned, and it is not even his own.
Even if you really lose money, it doesn't matter.
Whether it is the military commander or the underground party, whether this pharmacy makes money or not is secondary.
As long as we can provide medicines to treat illnesses and save lives for this organization, it will be enough to recover all losses.
Besides, he gave Sun Zhishu 20% of the secret shares, and Sun Zhishu also promised that he would take care of the Chinese and Western Pharmacy. How could he lose money?
Although Lu Chengzhou didn't know the profits of medicines and medicinal materials, he knew that as long as there was official support, the business would be profitable.
"Okay, then I'll talk to my boss tomorrow." Mahougu said solemnly.
"I'll leave this matter to you. You can control the price. As long as the original staff want to stay, they can keep it. This pharmacy is in my hands and will definitely develop." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
Ma Hougu was originally a member of the worker group of the Democratic Pioneer Corps. Anyone who could join the Democratic Pioneer Team must be an activist.
He had high prestige among the workers and hated the Japanese. Lu Chengzhou was very relieved to hand over the Chinese and Western Pharmacy to him.
"Don't worry, I will discuss it with my employer. After the negotiation is completed, I will ask you to make a decision." Mahougu nodded.
Although Lu Chengzhou was his junior, Lu Chengzhou became his boss from the moment he agreed to Lu Chengzhou.
You should treat your boss as you would treat your boss.
After Lu Chengzhou returned home, he habitually went to the study first. As soon as he turned on the light, Zeng Zilian tiptoed over.
Tonight, Liu Tongyu will be assassinated, and she is also a little nervous.
Liu Tongyu is no better than Jin Dongzhen. This person was originally a member of the Maintenance Committee. He jumped out as soon as the Japanese army occupied Haigu. He is a true hard-core traitor.
Lu Chengzhou looked at Zeng Zilian, gave a questioning look, and raised his wrist to point at his watch, meaning, why are you still not sleeping so late?
"Can't sleep." Zeng Zilian took out a note written long ago.
"Worried about failure of the operation?" Lu Chengzhou took the note and added a sentence below.
"Yes, this is an operation in the urban area, and there are police around." Zeng Zilian quickly added.
"Don't worry, as long as nothing happens, there will definitely be good news tomorrow morning." Lu Chengzhou replied again.
"So urgent." Zeng Zilian wrote again.
"What's the use of being anxious? If being anxious can kill Liu Tongyu, I'll be anxious every day to see if I can chop the Emperor of Japan into pieces." Lu Chengzhou wrote another sentence.
When Zeng Zilian went out, she felt that there seemed to be a breeze in the air. She turned on the light on the stairs and saw a figure that quickly disappeared.
She smiled secretly, knowing that Ma Yuzhen was eavesdropping again.
She walked down the stairs and went straight to Ma Yuzhen's room.
"What did you hear?" Zeng Zilian turned on the light in the room and saw Ma Yuzhen sitting on the bed.
"I didn't hear a word." Ma Yuzhen shook her head.
In fact, as long as you don't pay attention, your voice will not travel very far whether you are upstairs or downstairs.
"Don't do this again next time, it's not good to let him find out." Zeng Zilian pointed to the upstairs and said meaningfully.
"Okay." Ma Yuzhen nodded.
She was at the stairs just now and indeed she didn't hear a word.
But because of this, she became even more suspicious.
If Zeng Zilian and Lu Chengzhou really want to develop a further relationship, why don't they talk?
How weird it would be for two people to stay in a room without saying a word.
If Zeng Zilian hadn't come, Ma Yuzhen wouldn't have noticed it yet.
Zeng Zilian went out of her way to explain it, but she felt that the other party was trying to hide it.
After Zeng Zilian left, Ma Yuzhen has been thinking about this issue.
The next morning, after Lu Chengzhou left, Ma Yuzhen specifically asked about this matter.
"Sister Zilian, why didn't you and Lu Chengzhou talk in the room?" Ma Yuzhen asked curiously.
"Well, you will know this when you fall in love later." Zeng Zilian said with a smile.
In fact, she really wanted to have something happen with Lu Chengzhou, but Lu Chengzhou always looked serious, and there was always only work between the two of them.
"Tell me about it." Ma Yuzhen shook Zeng Zilian's arm and asked.
"It's actually very simple. We use paper to write and communicate." Zeng Zilian said with a smile.
"It's really troublesome to communicate face-to-face using paper," Ma Yuzhen said.
"Aren't you afraid of affecting you?" Zeng Zilian scratched Ma Yuzhen's nose and said with a smile.
Before Ma Yuzhen could say anything, she was ready to go out.
She also wanted to know whether Chen Bailu's action last night was successful.
After Lu Chengzhou went to work, he went to Daxing Grocery Store first, but Ning Ming did not report the latest news to him.
After arriving at the police station, I didn't hear anything about the assassination on Dajing Road in Hebei Province.
Could it be that the assassination of Liu Tongyu yesterday was so perfect that no one has noticed it yet?
Based on experience, Lu Chengzhou felt that something was wrong.
No matter how smooth Chen Bailu's actions were, there would be no news for such a long time.
There is only one possibility: the action failed or was cancelled.
It is more likely that the operation will be canceled. After all, even if the operation fails, the police station should be alerted.
In order to prove his conjecture, Lu Chengzhou specially called Chen Yongyi and asked him to come to the British Concession for dinner in the evening.
"With so many cases on hand, how can I have time to eat?" Chen Yongyi and Lu Chengzhou were never polite. Although they wanted to come, they really couldn't get away.
"Have you encountered another difficult case?" Lu Chengzhou asked casually.
If you are so busy at work that you don’t even have time to eat, then what’s the point of working?
"Recently, several large families have been robbed." Chen Yongyi said with a sigh.
Only for this kind of case, the higher-ups are pressing the hardest.
If it were an ordinary person's case, who would take it seriously?
Currently, the only things the police station can handle are major robberies like this.
