She paused for a moment and then said: "Sister, you are a sentimental person, and so am I! I have no choice but to leave him! He is an old agent with rich experience! I hope he can escape death! All I can do now is
I hope so!"
Liao Ruolan said no more. Qiao Yanfang was right, she did it for her and Mr. Asakura! She had to do this.
They walked through the twists and turns of the alley and finally arrived at Deshengmen Inner Street.
Once here, they seem to be safer.
Qiao Yanfang asked softly: "Where are you going now?"
Liao Ruolan said: "Go back to the hotel, where else can you go?"
Qiao Yanfang grabbed her and said, "No! You must not go back to the hotel!"
"Why?" Liao Ruolan turned back and stared at her.
"You need more strings in your head! Not long after we arrived at Fuxi Tea House, the Japanese military police came! Why!"
"Why?" Liao Ruolan looked at her in shock.
"You heard them shouting downstairs, they are upstairs! They are upstairs! The military police are looking for us!"
"Why?" Liao Ruolan looked at her in even more shock.
"How do I know! Either we were followed on the road! Or you were discovered by Japanese agents when you were looking for Aoki! No matter what the reason is, you must not go back to the hotel!"
Liao Ruolan stopped and looked at Qiao Yanfang uneasily. She knew that Qiao Yanfang was more experienced in this kind of thing, and she was right. The Japanese military police might be waiting for her and Mr. Asakura in the hotel! She didn't know what to do for a moment.
That's good.
Qiao Yanfang stared at her sharply, walked over slowly, and said in her ear: "Sister, we are leaving. But before we leave, I still need to send you and Mr. Asakura to a safe place! Just tell me, send
where did you go?"
Liao Ruolan understood what she meant, but she still hesitated in her heart.
Qiao Yanfang also understood what Liao Ruolan was hesitating about.
She said in a lower voice: "Sister, this is the time, you must think clearly! Protecting Mr. Asakura is my task! It is also your responsibility! We all must complete it! Sister, I still say what I say, I keep my word!
"
The sky was getting darker. They faced each other in the darkness and looked at each other. The evening breeze blew the hair on their foreheads and also blew their beautiful and alert faces.
Mr. Asakura standing nearby knew that the current situation was serious, but he had no idea what they were talking about along the way. He could see the vigilance between them and could only look at them uneasily.
Liao Ruolan hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Go to Xisi, Damucang Hutong."
24-15
After it got completely dark, they took three rickshaws and arrived at Damucang Hutong.
Liao Ruolan stopped in front of a very ordinary house and looked back at Qiao Yanfang.
Qiao Yanfang smiled at her, turned around and gestured, asking Qiang Hu and Xiao Zhang to guard both ends of the alley.
She smiled and said, "Sister, I'll leave when you come in."
Liao Ruolan knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened and a very gentle man came out.
He saw Liao Ruolan outside the door and immediately said, "Why did you come here? Where is Mr. Asakura?"
Mr. Asakura walked out of the darkness and looked at the man.
The man immediately waved his hand and said, "Mr. Asakura, come in quickly."
Only then did he notice Qiao Yanfang next to him and asked, "Who is this?"
Liao Ruolan said: "My friend, help me deliver Mr. Asakura's gift. I will explain it to you later."
Qiao Yanfang was an old agent after all. Although the surroundings were dim, she could still tell that the man in front of her was about thirty years old and looked like he might be a teacher. His appearance was ordinary, and the only mark was a mole on the inner corner of his eye.
She didn't expect Liao Ruolan to introduce it to her. She just had to remember the mole. Her memory was excellent!
At this time, she said first: "Sister, you've arrived home safely, it's time for me to go back. Goodbye, come see me when you have time."
Then, she smiled and nodded to the man, turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, she turned back. She saw Liao Ruolan looking at her and about to close the door. She waved to her and continued walking forward. For her, the task was finally completed.
That night, Qiao Yanfang, Qiang Hu and Xiao Zhang boarded the train back to Shanghai. More than thirty hours later, on the morning of August 12, they finally returned to Shanghai.
24-16
After they got off the train at Zhabei Station, they couldn't help but be surprised.
There were troops everywhere inside and outside the station. They were in groups or teams, either sitting on the street to rest or marching in formation with neat steps.
Many Shanghai citizens stood on the street and watched in amazement. Some clapped their hands and waved flags. There was even a tea station. Some students waved to the soldiers and invited them to come and drink tea.
Qiao Yanfang stood on the steps and looked around. She saw that the entire Zhabei Station was like a sea of soldiers! The shiny helmets were like undulating waves. Trucks and cannons were parked on both sides of the road. It was endless as far as the eye could see.
For spectacular.
Needless to say, war is really about to begin in Shanghai!
The streets were filled with marching troops and crowds of spectators.
Qiao Yanfang, Qiang Hu and Xiao Zhang walked a long way before catching the tram. They got off the tram at Aidoya Road and hurried to Qiaojia Lane.
Along the way, citizens gathered in small groups to talk about the army's entry into the city. Newspaper vendors ran around waving newspapers and shouting. Some store owners even set off firecrackers at the door, as if the Japanese army would raise firecrackers as soon as the national army arrived.
Hands surrender.
24-17
As soon as Qiao Yanfang and others entered, the Qiaojiaong residence suddenly became noisy and noisy.
The brothers all ran out of their rooms, laughing and shouting loudly, shaking hands and high-fiving them, and surrounded them into the main room, as if welcoming generals returning in triumph.
Qiao Yanfang smiled as brightly as a flower, joking and joking with each brother. She asked them eloquently, "Are you too late to get up again? Why don't you cut your hair? Do you want it to be braided? Bad thing, don't you think I don't? Why are you as thin as a monkey? You guys
How is the housekeeping? I'm going to check later, so be careful!
She turned around and saw Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng standing at the door of the radio station cabin, looking at her with smiles on their faces.
She waved her hands in all directions and said, "I won't make trouble with you anymore. Let's talk later!"
As she said this, she walked towards the radio station cabin. Her beautiful eyes were dimmed and she looked at them with a smile.
Chen Zifeng smiled and pushed open the door and let her in.
As soon as the door closed, she screamed first, then hugged Chen Zifeng's neck and spun around in a big circle. After that, she turned to Xiao Ancheng enchantingly, her eyes shining with charming light, and she looked at him so affectionately.
Xiao Ancheng knew he couldn't hide. Besides, he had to show her off to Ruolan safely and open his arms to her.
Qiao Yanfang silently threw herself into his arms, and once again experienced the tidal wave of love in her heart. At this time, she actually felt like crying. This was the moment she looked forward to most, and she had been looking forward to this since she entered the door.
She felt that this was just a moment, beautiful and short-lived.
But Chen Zifeng thought it was unbearable. He grabbed their arms and separated them at once.
He scolded: "Okay! Are you done with it? It's time to get down to business!"
Qiao Yanfang smiled happily, stretched out her hand to hit him, but didn't say anything else.
Xiao Ancheng was embarrassed and helpless. He was thinking about Liao Ruolan who had gone to Peking, but in front of him was Qiao Yanfang, who was as beautiful as a fairy. He didn't know what to do in the future.
Chen Zifeng opened the door, called a brother, and said, "Call Tan Hao, hurry up."
Qiao Yanfang was surprised and looked at him with her big eyes blinking, "What's going on? Why did you call him?"
Chen Zifeng smiled at her, waved his hand and said: "An Cheng and I judged that he is not a nail! We always treat him as a nail, and maybe he really becomes a nail! Besides, this Tan Hao is also a thief.
This guy can see everything! It would be better if you just be honest with him."
Just as he was talking, Tan Hao knocked on the door and came in, looking at them calmly.
Chen Zifeng said so casually: "Sit down, let's discuss the situation together."
Next, Qiao Yanfang began to report how she escorted Mr. Asakura and Miss Liao to Peiping. She mentioned the Fuxi Tea House, the Japanese military police roundup, and the injury of the old Wei Wei Jiechen.
She said: "In order to protect us, he didn't know what the current situation was, whether he was dead or alive."
Chen Zifeng nodded and said: "Old Wei has experience and can handle any situation. Damn, I hope he can pass this level!"
Qiao Yanfang saw it, and Chen Zifeng also felt that Old Wei was in danger, so he said nothing more.
Next, Chen Zifeng introduced the situation in the past few days to her, and in fact to Tan Hao.
The army sent heavy troops to escort the old beggar, preparing to send him to Zhenru Town to be handed over to the military for trial. The focus was still on tracing the core purpose of the "Demon Sword Project"! Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by Japanese agents on the way!
Chen Zifeng gritted his teeth and said: "We just learned that the Japanese used a train to drag away the police car!"
He also said that Xiao Ancheng had judged in advance that the Japanese might successfully hijack the car and would send the old beggar to the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters.
They went to intercept the back train the day before yesterday. However, they fell short and failed!
Finally, he talked about their explanation to Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong the night before yesterday.
He said sternly: "That's the whole process! If you still don't know anything about it, you can ask!"
Qiao Yanfang and Tan Hao did not ask, because they all understood. They looked at Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng with stern eyes, and they were all weighing the consequences of this matter in their hearts.
Chen Zifeng also stared at them, "Speak! What do you think? If you have anything to say, just say it!"
At this time, Tan Hao whispered: "Zifeng, do you suspect that Luo Jiang is secretly communicating with the Japanese?"
Chen Zifeng stared at him calmly. He once again confirmed in his heart that this Tan Hao was not ordinary shrewd! During the entire introduction process, he did not doubt Luo Jiang at all! But this guy got to the bottom of it as soon as he opened his mouth!
So, he told the interrogation arrangements of Luo Jiang for Takaji after arresting Takaji Naoki. He also mentioned that a policeman from Nanshi eavesdropped outside the door.
