A team member walked in nervously and muttered something to Cao Yunfei.
Cao Yunfei's face changed. The reason why he dared to do this was because there was a lack of food in the mountains. He often had to eat before he could finish his meal. There were national army troops everywhere outside the city, and the guerrillas could only hide in the mountains.
The quartermaster of the 305th Division swore that this was a shady internal conflict. The guerrillas could only take the money with confidence and boldness, and Yao Gemin would never dare to take the opportunity to send troops to encircle and suppress them.
"Master, the national army is narrowing the encirclement!"
"They have machine guns!"
"What should I do, the boss?"
Cao Yunfei's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yao Gemin dares to play dirty tricks. I will risk everything and tell him everything!"
Jiang Xinyu said calmly: "As for the personal grudge between you and Yao Gemin, I'm not very clear. I just want to ask, do you have any evidence?"
"I..." Cao Yunfei was speechless. All the rosters and documents related to empty pay were burned in front of the quartermaster.
Jiang Xinyu: "One is a major general and division commander of the national army, and the other is a mountain king who robs homes and houses. Who do you think the government will believe?"
Cao Yunfei glared at Jiang Xinyu and said coldly: "The deputy commander of the military command is in my hands. If the army outside dares to attack, I will kill him first, and then both of you!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Why is this necessary? More than thirty people are exchanged for three people. This deal seems not worthwhile. How about this, I let you go and let this matter be over!"
Cao Yunfei thought for a long time and said, "You're not playing some tricks, are you?"
"I can send a car to take you to your designated location!"
"Okay! I have a condition!"
"explain."
"I want two light machine guns and a box of bullets! If you send people to set up an ambush in front, I must have the capital to fight hard!"
Ma Keming said from the side: "Even if there is an ambush and they have to pass through this gun tower, can you not see it with so many pairs of eyes?"
Cao Yunfei sneered: "The dignified deputy station commander of the military command is not even worth two machine guns?"
Ma Keming was still arguing, but Jiang Xinyu stopped him and said to Cao Yunfei: "Okay, I promise you!"
"You know the truth!" Cao Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This time, his work was not in vain. Even if he had money, he might not be able to buy two machine guns and a box of bullets.
Jiang Xinyu: "Ma Keming, go and do it!"
Ma Keming hesitated and said, "What if Deputy Zhou doesn't agree?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Just say this is an order! I will explain it to Mr. Yao afterwards!"
"Yes!" Ma Keming turned around and walked out of the turret.
Ten minutes later, a military vehicle drove over. In the compartment were two Czech light machine guns, plus a whole box full of bullets.
Cao Yunfei checked the machine gun, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Brothers, get in the car!"
The team members climbed into the car. Cao Yunfei opened the door and got in. He waved to the driver and said, "Drive!"
Watching the military vehicle go away, Jiang Xinyu returned to the gun tower, personally untied the rope around Wu Jingrong, and said, "Deputy Station Commander, you are scared."
Wu Jingrong was quite moved. He took Jiang Xinyu's hand and said, "Captain Jiang, I didn't expect that you would risk your life to save me...Thank you!"
Jiang Xinyu: "Deputy Station Commander, you're fine...but I gave the bandits two machine guns because I was afraid that Commander Yao would blame me."
Wu Jingrong sneered and said: "Don't worry, Yao Gemin won't say anything. Two machine guns saved his future. It's not too late for him to thank you! You're such a coward, I'll have to settle this account with him sooner or later!"
Wu Jingrong originally wanted to use the accidental killing of Pei Shaoshi to replace the leader of the action team, but he did not expect that Jiang Xinyu repaid evil with kindness and saved his life.
Naturally, he was too embarrassed to bring up the plan to replace the action captain. Besides, Qiao Mucai couldn't pass that test without making any serious mistakes.
…………
At noon the next day, Hongqiao Police Station.
"Come out, someone will bail you out!" The prison guard opened the cell door and said to Tong Tong.
After being held in jail for one night, although the Wang family was in good hands and the police took good care of Tong Tong, she had never suffered such injustice since she was a child.
Arriving at the prison gate, Jiang Xinyu was signing the bail procedures.
Tong Tong said in surprise: "Is it you?"
Jiang Xinyu put down his pen and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back!"
"Why did you come to bail me out?"
"You have a responsible Uncle Wang."
"Er Bao said that the police station does not allow bail... Oh, I understand, you are officials protecting each other, and you are working together!"
Jiang Xinyu glanced at her and said, "Yes, officials protect each other, and they work together... Do you think this kind of behavior is shameful?"
"Of course!" Tong Tong nodded affirmatively.
"Then do you want to go back and refuse this shameful bail?"
Tong Tong rolled his eyes at him and quickly walked out of the prison door.
After leaving the police station, Tong Tong looked up at the blue sky, couldn't help but spread his arms and cheered: "I am finally free!"
Jiang Xinyu frowned and said, "Miss Tong, you have only been detained for two days. How exaggerating is it?"
"I don't want to stay in there for two minutes!" Tong Tong opened the car door and got in.
When the car passed by Shuichang Street, Tong Tong leaned forward and looked out, saying: "Er Bao said that there is a famous dumpling restaurant here, called Defa..."
"Enfa De." Jiang Xinyu said casually.
"Yes, it's Enfa De. Where is it?"
"Just turn left ahead."
"I'm hungry and want to eat dumplings!"
Jiang Xinyu parked the car at the entrance of Enfa De Dumpling Restaurant and said, "This is it, you go."
Tong Tong opened the car door, turned around and said, "Aren't you going?"
"I still have something to do."
"It's noon now, what else can you do except eat? Besides, I didn't bring any money!" Tong Tong said confidently.
With no other choice, Jiang Xinyu had to get out of the car and follow Tong Tong into the restaurant.
"Invite you two!" the waiter said hello as he came forward.
Tong Tong: "Is there a seat upstairs?"
Guy: "Yes, yes."
"Let's go upstairs." Tong Tong said to Jiang Xinyu.
Walking along the wooden stairs to the second floor, Tong Tong looked around enthusiastically, and finally chose a table by the window and said, "It's great here, you can also see the scenery on the street!"
The waiter said attentively: "The store has newly launched a set meal for two. Couples like you will usually order..."
Tong Tong blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is married to him?"
The waiter quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Then have one!" Tong Tong turned around and saw the busy traffic downstairs.
The table they are sitting at now has also been occupied by Jiang Xinyu and Hattori Mina. Nothing has changed. The only change is the person who is accompanying them across from them...
"Mr. Jiang?" A middle-aged man who was having a meal got up and walked away.
Jiang Xinyu looked up and saw that it was his former landlord on Qiaodong Road.
"Yanjin is neither big nor small. It is rare to meet him."
"Yes, it is indeed rare."
"Where is Mr. Jiang's job?"
"United Petroleum Works."
"The kerosene factory is the most profitable, so the salary must be quite high."
"fine."
"I heard that Mr. Jiang is married. Is this Mrs. Jiang?"
Tong Tong turned his face away again, pretending to look out the window, but in fact he was listening to Jiang Xinyu's answer.
Jiang Xinyu: "No, she is a friend of mine."
The landlord said apologetically: "I was rude, so I won't bother you."
He walked a few steps, turned around and said, "I almost forgot one thing. A letter was sent to my home. I was worried about how to deliver it to you. Fortunately, I met it today."
"Where did the letter come from?" Jiang Xinyu felt strange. He basically notified his relatives and friends about his move. How could a letter be sent to his original address?
Landlord: "It was sent from Osaka, Japan..."
Jiang Xinyu suppressed his excitement and said, "Where is that letter now?"
"It's at my house. If you have time, you can always go and pick it up..."
