Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Returning Overseas Chinese
Zhang Hao was no fool. He immediately understood what Li Yunsheng meant and said, "The district chief asked me to miss on purpose."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then said with a smile: "Not only must you miss on purpose, but you must also assassinate these people after you miss, but you must be careful not to really hurt anyone."
Li Yunsheng understands this principle when acting in a drama, so he arranged it in this way.
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Zhang Hao also smiled and said: "District Chief, if you do this, no one will think that we are just dealing with errands. I think the headquarters will only say that we are not doing well."
Li Yunsheng nodded again. After all, failure is much better than disobedience, and he said calmly: "After the assassination, we must leave as soon as possible, but don't forget that the Japanese are looking for us. If we are targeted, we will be in big trouble."
Zhang Hao nodded, the two discussed for a while, made a detailed plan, and started preparations.
The next morning, on the dock in Tianjin, there were two middle-aged men standing together, looking at the ship that was about to arrive.
The dock is now very chaotic. Many people who are looking for a living are waiting for the ship here, hoping to find a job and maintain a basic life.
Seeing this chaotic situation, the two middle-aged men frowned, and one of them said: "This is too chaotic, why don't we move forward a little bit."
Another middle-aged man immediately replied: "No, the location here is just right. Anyway, we have the sign in our hands, they will definitely be able to see it."
These two people are the leaders of the Tianjin underground party, Zhao Wentian and Zhao Chengde. Today is the day when overseas Chinese return to China, so the two people waited here early to meet these people.
At this time, Zhao Chengde held a large wooden sign in his hand, with the words Mr. Chen Jiahao written on it.
Chen Jiahao is a member of the party organization and a close comrade-in-arms of Zhao Wentian. It is the result of this person's efforts that the overseas Chinese were able to return to China and visit Shaanxi.
Zhao Wentian was very happy to see his former comrades in arms, and the two of them had to match each other to send these overseas Chinese to Shaanxi, which made the old party member even more excited. Even if he knew that this matter would not go particularly smoothly, he would not worry.
After hearing what Zhao Wentian said, Zhao Chengde stopped talking. He waited patiently with a sign and paid attention to the situation on the pier.
According to the intelligence from the organization, the Japanese had already begun to take action, so Zhao Chengde acted very cautiously for fear of being noticed by the Japanese.
Before coming back, Zhao Wentian had made some arrangements, but the Japanese were strong. This overseas Chinese team returned to China and was noticed by the Japanese. Therefore, almost all underground parties in Tianjin took action, and some armed personnel had even arrived at the dock.
This is to prevent accidents from happening.
That's it, Zhao Chengde is also very worried. After all, in terms of force, the underground party will definitely not be able to match the Japanese. If this was not the French Concession, the Japanese would not dare to send people in blatantly, and the situation would be even more dangerous.
After carefully looking at the situation at the dock, Zhao Chengde discovered a dozen short people wandering around and staring at the ship that was about to arrive.
Seeing the clothes of these dozen people, Zhao Chengde knew that they were Japanese ronin. These people were serving the intelligence agencies. However, these people were just plain fish, so the old party member was not worried.
After watching for a while, Zhao Chengde still found no one from the intelligence agency. He couldn't help but frowned. He looked around and then said in a low voice: "I only saw some Japanese ronin, but no real agents.
I don’t know where they are hiding.”
Zhao Wentian said without hesitation: "Don't worry so much. We will act according to the plan. You must also be careful and don't let the Japanese notice."
Zhao Chengde nodded, then stopped talking and pretended to be calm, looking at the ship that was about to arrive.
Soon the ship arrived at the pier, and after it stopped, the passengers on the cruise ship began to disembark.
As the passengers disembarked, there was a bit of chaos on the pier. Some people looking for a living rushed forward quickly, trying to find some work.
This situation was not surprising, so the two old party members continued to wait patiently.
Not long after, Zhao Wentian's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Old Chen, over here," while shouting and waving his hands.
Zhao Wentian behaved like an ordinary person seeing his relatives, so no one paid attention here.
In the direction where Zhao Wentian waved his hand, six people were walking off the boat. Among the six people, four men and two women. Except for a middle-aged man about forty years old, the other three men and two women were all young people.
The group of six people was obviously headed by a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man who was headed quickly saw Zhao Wentian waving, so he immediately led the people over.
As soon as the two parties met, the middle-aged man hugged Zhao Wentian excitedly and said excitedly: "Old Zhao, I have finally met you," his tone was very excited.
The middle-aged man is Chen Jiahao, and he is also the main target of Zhao Wentian's greeting. Because the two were once close comrades in arms, and they have not seen each other for several years, he is so excited now.
Being hugged by Chen Jiahao, Zhao Wentian was also very excited. He also hugged his close comrade and said happily: "I can finally see you."
After hugging each other hard for a while and patting each other on the back, the two people let go. Then Zhao Wentian said: "Old Chen, let me introduce to you. This is my friend Zhao Chengde." After that, he pulled him to his side.
Zhao Chengde.
Zhao Chengde immediately stepped forward and said, "I finally met Brother Chen," and then he cupped his hands.
Chen Jiahao also said a few polite words, and then introduced the people behind them to the two of them.
The reason why these three underground gangsters behaved like this is that they did not attract attention. After all, there were Japanese ronin around. These people were the spies of the Japanese intelligence agency, so they could not detect any abnormalities.
What's more, there must be Japanese agents near the dock, so the three underground party members did not dare to be careless and behave like ordinary people.
After chatting for a while, Chen Jiahao estimated that the time was almost up, so he said: "Old Zhao, let's go back and talk about it. After all, we are a little tired after working on a boat for so long."
Zhao Wentian immediately said: "Look at my brain. I was only talking to you and forgot that you have been working on a boat for so long. You must be very tired." As he said that, he patted his head.
Zhao Chengde on the side also quickly said: "Okay, let's go back and talk about it," and then took the suitcase from Chen Jiahao's hand and left with a few people.
When a few people were walking towards the exit of the pier, there were four teams quietly following behind them, but they kept a certain distance, and they were far enough away that no one could detect them.
These four teams are not large in number, each team consists of five or six people, mixed with men and women, but one thing they have in common is that these people are not very old, the oldest is in their thirties.
These four teams are also overseas Chinese from Nanyang, but too many people gathered together and attracted too much attention, so they were divided into several groups.
However, none of these people knew the underground party, so they had no choice but to follow Chen Jiahao's team and wait for others to take over.
Several groups of people left the dock one after another without attracting anyone's attention, even the Japanese ronin. After all, many people had already left, and many others had just gotten off the ship.
After leaving the pier, Zhao Chengde led the way while carefully observing the situation. When he saw the four people behind him, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then he put the sign on his body and said loudly: "Our home is nearby, soon."
We'll be there soon, no need to rush."
Zhao Wentian also echoed a few words, and then the group continued to move forward.
While two people were talking, four people walked towards the four teams behind them, then said a few words and then walked in other directions.
These four people were also underground party members in Tianjin. They were used to pick up returning overseas Chinese and were responsible for guiding the way. Because they were doing so very covertly and there were many people near the dock, no one noticed anything unusual.
Seeing that everything was going well, Zhao Chengde felt relieved and continued walking forward. Soon the group arrived at a house.
The house is very ordinary, not large in area, and can barely accommodate twenty or thirty people. However, it is well maintained. Even from the outside, you can tell that the owner is a very clean person.
When he arrived at the house, Zhao Chengde quickly opened the door and let a few people in. Then he looked behind him and felt relieved when he saw a young man standing at the street corner.
The last one entered the house and closed the door. Zhao Chengde invited everyone to sit down.
Because they had arrived at the safe house, the three underground party members calmed down. As for the other five young men and women, they had no special feelings. After all, they did not understand the danger just now.
After taking a sip of water, Zhao Wentian muttered to himself and said, "I finally came back safely."
This action plan was planned by the party organization and arranged by Zhao Wentian. After all, this was the only way to avoid being noticed by the Japanese.
Hearing Zhao Wentian's words, Chen Jiahao said with emotion: "It's not easy. On the way back, I have seen several waves of Japanese ronin. They must be looking for us."
Zhao Wentian nodded and asked in confusion: "Comrade Jiahao, how do the Japanese know your itinerary?"
Chen Jiahao said helplessly: "The Japanese intelligence agencies are very powerful. In addition, Mr. Wang Chunsheng is also returning to China this time, so we are noticed by them."
"Mr. Wang is back too, it's true."
Zhao Wentian's tone was a bit excited, because Wang Chunsheng is one of the overseas Chinese leaders in Nanyang. If this person visits Shaanxi, the impact will be even greater.
"Mr. Wang is indeed back. He took the same boat as us, but for the sake of safety, he didn't go with me when he got off the boat."
Chen Jiahao's tone was very proud, because it was indeed not easy to persuade overseas Chinese leaders to visit Shaanxi. He had overfulfilled the organizational task.
