When Ji Zhongyuan came into contact with Mai Fan in the past, he only saw his calm and capable side.
Ji Zhongyuan never thought that this man would be so angry at this moment.
"Calm down, now, we are already regular customers and old friends. After so many years of friendship, you have never been a guest in my home."
"Today I invite you to come to my house to see my daughter-in-law who comes from my hometown, and ask her to cook you a meal of her hometown food. I also ask your capable uncle to take care of her."
"If it's convenient, find her a capable job. Even if I, Lao Ji, are here to thank you."
Mai Fan took a deep breath and put a smile on his face again. He picked up the hat on the side, put it on, and said to Ji Zhongyuan: "Then let's go?"
"Walk!"
Mr. Ji put down what he was doing, locked the study that had no guests, and took Mai Fan to the old house he rented.
The edge of Huayuan Road is considered a relatively high-consumption area, without the excessive chaos in the civilian areas.
But there are too many people living in the concession area, which makes the residential area seem a bit crowded.
A person with permanent property like Mr. Ji only rents a small second floor in this area.
There is no room downstairs, only a half-open kitchen. Going up the stairs is the real place for people to live.
The living area is not very big. It is two rooms set together. There is also a terrace on the room, which can only accommodate one person to turn around and dry clothes on weekdays.
Mai Fan followed Mr. Ji upstairs, and when the woman closed the door, it was like sealing away all the smoke and dust.
This cabin is extremely private.
Mr. Ji gave Mai Fan a reassuring guarantee: "Don't worry, don't look at the mess here, but the sound insulation effect of this kind of rental house is still very strong."
"This is my wife and my comrade-in-arms."
"He just came over there a while ago to take over Lan Mengyao and Du Ruosong's intelligence line."
"She was the one who sent someone here to report the news just now. Now I'm bringing you here and asking her to tell you what happened."
Seeing Ji Zhongyuan say this, it was his wife who was anxious.
"Lao Ji!"
"It's okay! One of our own, his position and importance...are even above you and me."
"I have never told anyone these things before, but since the organization sent you here, it gives you the power to know Mai Fan."
"He is the one that the two of us will fight to the death to protect."
"His name is Mai Fan, and he is the current director of the Intelligence Division of the Maritime Security Bureau."
"Many high-level military and political intelligence from our overseas intelligence stations were passed on to our rear areas through his hands."
"All the intelligence personnel in Shanghai City together are not as important as Mai Fan."
After listening to Ji Zhongyuan's introduction, Wei Hong no longer questioned.
When she was sent here, she knew many of the missions she had to shoulder.
Since he is someone recognized by Comrade Ji Zhongyuan, it is not a bad idea to tell the information to two people now.
So, Wei Hong told Ji Zhongyuan and Mai Fan about the emergency situation she had just received.
After listening, Mai Fan, who was a little anxious at first, calmed down.
Ji Zhongyuan, who was sitting next to him, was a little worried about his meditative state and asked cautiously: "Mai Fan, are you okay?"
"Don't be anxious, there will be a solution to the problem."
"I will report it to my superiors. If the situation changes, I suggest you start the transfer immediately."
Having said this, Ji Zhongyuan stood up and planned to use the emergency radio to contact his superiors.
At this moment, Mai Fan grabbed Ji Zhongyuan's arm and pushed him back.
"Things haven't reached that point yet, don't panic."
"Even if you need to use the radio to contact me, it's not a matter of contacting me to transfer."
"On the contrary, you have to be prepared to evacuate in the past few days. Forget it in the past few days, can you ask your wife to come with me?"
Ji Zhongyuan was a little nervous: "Where are you taking her? She doesn't know anything yet?"
Mai Fan smiled: "Don't worry, I don't want to throw her into prison to show my loyalty. I want to find a job for her in our secrecy bureau."
"This job is to go to the canteen of my Secrecy Bureau and be a cook."
"The job I got through the back door, as long as I have the excuse, will give me one more person to call my orders."
"In extraordinary times, only the three of us know about this matter."
"Once I make any moves, your wife will let you know."
"Also," Mai Fan stood up and confirmed for the last time: "Among the people taken away by the special commissioner who suddenly airborne, are you sure that only Lan Mengyao and Du Ruosong have anything to do with us?"
"Don't let anyone else show up suddenly and cause trouble to my plan."
This can be guaranteed. Seeing Wei Hong nodding, Mai Fan felt relieved and stood up to leave.
Now, he must find a few allies and quickly operate.
Mai Fan came to the street corner and put a coin into the public phone.
He made a call to his old classmate Mingtai, who is now the director of the Operations Division.
The two made an appointment to meet in a beef restaurant opposite the Secrecy Bureau. About ten minutes later, Mai Fan met this old classmate who was even busier than him.
"What do you want from me? I'm busy picking up people."
Mai Fan poured two taels of white wine into the glass opposite and answered, "Did the commissioner sent from above say that there is a big case that requires the cooperation of your operations department?"
Mingtai was stunned for a moment by these words, and then he laughed: "It's true that he is engaged in intelligence."
"But I remember that in terms of public information, the commissioner's itinerary is confidential."
"We just received the notice the day before yesterday that this commissioner will not arrive at sea until the end of the month."
"Fifteen minutes ago, I suddenly received a call from the other party, saying that he asked me to pick him up outside the city."
"Did you receive news of his arrival within two minutes?"
"Mai Fan, Mai Fan, can you tell me, how did you know his whereabouts?"
Mai Fan did not answer his question directly. He raised his cup towards the stage and said something meaningless: "Your eldest sister stole a waybill from your eldest brother's safe."
"The kind that can transport prohibited materials."
"This morning, your eldest sister, together with my mother, contacted the remnants of the Ax Gang boss and transported a batch of embargoed materials just issued by our Secrecy Bureau outside the city."
"The channel they use to transport goods is the southwest land transportation channel."
"Guess which road our mysterious special commissioner took from the outer city to the sea?"
