Jiang Xinyu knew that Liu Deli's sudden appearance must have come to see Tong Tong. Since he was present, they would not be able to communicate with each other.
Jiang Xinyu opened his briefcase, rummaged through it, stood up and said, "Tongtong, please sit down for a while while I go out to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Tong Tong nodded repeatedly and said: "Oh, okay, you go ahead..."
The two of them each had their own ideas. Tong Tong also saw Liu Deli and naturally wanted Jiang Xinyu to leave for a while.
Liu Deli pretended to be looking for someone and walked around upstairs and downstairs. When he saw Jiang Xinyu leaving, he hurried to Tong Tong's side and whispered: "In half an hour, Yongtai Tea House."
After saying this, he hurriedly walked out.
Yongtai Teahouse is also on Hexi Street, less than 200 meters away from Huifa Restaurant.
A few minutes later, Jiang Xinyu returned to the restaurant, opened the cigarettes he just bought, took out one, lit it, and said, "Tongtong, what time is the bus tomorrow? I'll see you off."
"Well... four o'clock in the afternoon." Tong Tong said absently.
"Go back to Chongqing directly?"
"My dad is going to Shanghai to talk about business."
"Shanghai is a good place, with ten miles of foreign markets and a world of flowers. You can enjoy a different kind of scenery!"
"...Xinyu, I feel a little uncomfortable. I'm going back first."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. Maybe I drank too much and my head is a little dizzy. Just go back and rest for a while."
"I send you."
"No, no, you're so busy, I'll call a rickshaw myself."
Jiang Xinyu didn't force it. Tong Tong suddenly wanted to leave. He must have gone to meet Liu Deli and said, "Man, pay the bill!"
Tong Tong quickly stopped Jiang Xinyu and said, "You haven't eaten anything, please stay a little longer."
Hexi Street is a straight street, and Tong Tong was worried that Jiang Xinyu would see clearly if he went to Yongtai Teahouse to meet.
Jiang Xinyu also thought of this, poured himself a glass of wine, and said: "Then I won't give it to you. I really haven't eaten enough..."
Tong Tong was very upset. He had a lot of things to say to Jiang Xinyu, but Liu Deli came to "make trouble". Don't worry, we are far away and we will never have the chance to meet again.
Tong Tong drank a few more glasses of wine. When she went out, she was blown by the wind and felt a little dizzy. She swayed twice, waved and called: "Rickshaw!"
The driver who was waiting for work on the street hurried over, put down the handlebars, and said, "Miss, where are you going?"
"Yongtai Tea House!" Tong Tong got into the car.
Two guys wearing hats on one side happened to be passing by and overheard the conversation between Tong Tong and the rickshaw driver. When the rickshaw went away, one of them whispered: "Kuanzi, did you see that, those guys are drinking too much?"
Kawako chuckled and said, "He's quite handsome..."
"Whose girl is this?"
"I don't know him. His accent sounds like he's from Sichuan. Maybe he's here to visit relatives?"
"If you are not a local, it would be easier!"
"Er Zhen, what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing... Aren't you greedy for the fat sheep that is put to your mouth?"
"Will something happen?"
"She is a foreigner, how can she have the nerve to publicize such a thing?"
These two guys were both members of the Boxer Association. They usually preyed on outsiders at docks and stations, used sap traps to deceive people, and did a lot of bad things.
Seeing that Tong Tong had obviously drunk too much, they thought this was an opportunity. Moreover, the other party was a beautiful young girl, which aroused their interest even more.
During the Wang Puppet period, when Jiang Xinyu was a policeman, Hexi Street was his jurisdiction. Not only did he know all the gangsters in this place, at least they were inseparable from each other.
Seeing Chuanzi and Erzhen muttering on the street, Jiang Xinyu knew that these two guys had bad intentions and were probably trying to trick Tong Tong.
I wanted to go out and give a warning, but then I thought again, let's take this opportunity to catch them in their act and throw these two scumbags into prison for a few years.
…………
Yongtai Tea House.
In the box.
Tong Tong sat opposite Liu Deli, burped and said, "What do you want from me?"
Smelling the tangy smell of alcohol, Liu Deli frowned and said, "Have you been drinking?"
"Drink a little."
"How can you drink in front of a cunning spy chief? What if you spill the beans?"
"What a treacherous and cunning person. It's scary to say that... How has he aged?"
"Comrade Tongtong, you don't want to..."
Liu Deli wanted to say "Don't be so messy", but at the last moment he swallowed these four words. You cannot use such words when treating comrades.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I heard that you are going back to Chongqing?"
"Leave tomorrow afternoon."
"I am your superior. For such a big matter, you should inform me in advance!"
"……I forgot."
Liu Deli held back his anger, tried to be as calm as possible, and said, "Why do you want to leave suddenly?"
Tong Tong sighed and said: "My father said that I made a mistake coming to Yanjin, and he wants to correct this mistake for me."
"How are you thinking about that matter, sir?"
"He still asked me to withdraw from the organization."
"Are you very firm?"
"Um."
The reason why Liu Deli was eager to see Tong Tong was because his superiors had a new idea. If Tong Wanqi insisted on asking Tong Tong to withdraw from the company, then he could adopt a flexible strategy!
The so-called flexible strategy is to agree to Tong Wanqi's request, hoping that he can find an opportunity to instigate Fan Jiazeng, or provide an opportunity to meet him.
After all, in a practical sense, Tong Tong did not play a big role. When she was recruited to join the organization, her real intention was to work on Tong Wanqi.
Liu Deli pondered for a long time and said kindly: "Tong Tong, if the organization temporarily expels you from your job, what would you think?"
Tong Tong's eyes widened and he said, "Fire me? Why?"
"I'm talking about temporary dismissal, not permanent dismissal. When the time is right, the organization will welcome you back at any time!"
"What do you mean?"
"It means sacrificing personal interests and making greater contributions to the organization!"
When he first joined the organization, he was mainly influenced by Wang Xuelin. Now, for Tong Tong, joining or quitting doesn't seem that important.
She thought for a while and said: "Whatever, I will obey the organization's arrangements."
Worried that Tong Tong would lose control of his emotions, Liu Deli secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "One more thing, I need to meet with your father tomorrow morning."
"See you again? You don't understand my father. If he sees something right, even eight cows can't pull him back!"
After saying this, Tongtong muttered to himself: "It seems that there is one less cow..."
Liu Deli smiled and said, "Just make arrangements. As for the outcome, you don't have to worry about it!"
"All right……"
"You'll still be here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"knew."
"I'll leave first. You can leave again in ten minutes."
Liu Deli put on his hat, opened the door and walked out.
