Xiao Ancheng was a little surprised, "What mission?"
Chen Zifeng said fiercely: "Can you discuss with the eldest lady of the Chi family and ask them to quietly send people to look for the Japanese! We have helped her, and her eldest lady should also help us."
Hearing Chen Zifeng's words, the most angry person was Qiao Yanfang!
Even if Brother Ancheng should go to Chi's house, I should accompany him! But she couldn't say this, let alone show it on her face! So, she just glared at Chen Zifeng and turned back to see Brother Ancheng.
Xiao Ancheng didn't look at anyone, just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go talk."

This morning, Luo Jiang was also convening a meeting with the main officers of the first and second divisions.
He was full of doubts! Someone dared to install a bug in his office! He was very angry!
Not long ago, someone used his name to call Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng to come to the investigation office! Various signs showed that someone was going to ambush them! But it was hard to say where the call came from!
If there is really a traitor inside, he doesn't want to alert him at this time! He just wants to find this traitor!
Therefore, at this meeting, he seemed to casually summarize the fact that Wende Street almost ambushed Chen Zifeng's gendarmerie.
According to the report by Wang Zhigong of the First Section, this information was reported by one of his subordinates named Yan Liangguo. When Yan Liangguo was spying on Japanese spies, he accidentally discovered the old beggar and took a photo.
Luo Jiang heard the situation clearly and was noncommittal. Next, he asked Section 1 and Section 2 to send people every day to continue looking for Japanese spies!
He said: "Now, the Military Commission is about to meet, and military generals from all over the country are coming to Wuhan one after another! The commander and chief of staff of the 54th Army were ambushed by Japanese spies! This situation must be strictly prevented from happening again! This is what we
Responsibility!"

As a result, Chen Zifeng's team and the two departments of the Investigation Division sent people to secretly search for the Japanese!
Takashi, who lives in Chenyuan Lane, quickly realized this danger! However, the actions he and Mr. Sato planned must still be carried out! Facing this danger is inevitable!
Therefore, he repeatedly told his people to be careful when going out!
In the following days, agents from both China and Japan continued to fight secretly on the streets of Wuhan.

In the morning, after breakfast, Chen Zifeng and his brothers went out one after another according to Qiao Yanfang's arrangement to look for Japanese spies! Japanese spies might as well not go out, but if they want to cause damage, they will definitely go out!
Before Xiao Ancheng went out, he first called Miss Chi.
The Chi family said on the phone that the eldest lady had gone to Wangjiaxiang Wharf to inspect the factory equipment to be shipped with Commander Zhai of the National Army.
The man said on the phone: "Mr. Xiao, why don't you go directly to Wangjiaxiang Wharf and Tongjiang Warehouse."
Xiao Ancheng said: "Okay, I understand." Then he hung up the phone.
For him, going to Wangjiaxiang Pier is closer and more convenient.
At this time, he naturally thought of Tanaka Fu and Geng Tianyou.
He has always wondered whether these two guys would secretly communicate with the Japanese! Xiao Qiao's arrangement today is to ask Qiang Hu to lead a brother to continue surveillance at Wangjiaxiang Pier, focusing on these two people!
23-9
The Tongjiang Warehouse at Wangjiaxiang Pier where Xiao Ancheng is going is not the military warehouse where Tanaka Fu and Geng Tianyou are located. It is in a warehouse area on the north side. Apart from the Hanzheng Street Duofu Road Warehouse Area, this is the largest warehouse area in Wuhan
Already.
When Xiao Ancheng arrived at the gate of Tongjiang Warehouse District, he saw the car of the eldest daughter of the Chi family parked on the street.
Two young men stood beside the car. When they saw Xiao Ancheng, they immediately nodded to him and pointed to the door.
What they mean is that you, Mr. Xiao, must have come to see the eldest lady, who is inside.
Xiao Ancheng smiled and waved to them, then walked directly into the warehouse area.
After he entered, he turned to the left and saw Miss Chi standing at the door of a huge warehouse, talking to someone. But her eyes were facing the door, and she seemed to know that he was coming.
When she saw Xiao Ancheng, she waved to the people around her, turned around, and looked at him with a smile.
Xiao Ancheng also had a smile on his face. When he walked up to her, he said gently: "I called your home."
Chi Jun nodded slightly and said, "They told me."
"So, you are actually waiting for me." Xiao Ancheng looked at her in surprise.
"Yes. Mr. Xiao must have something important. I can't let you look for me everywhere anymore." The smile on Chi Jun's face became more obvious.
"Where is Chief Zhai? The person who answered the phone said that you are here to discuss the delivery of factory equipment with Chief Zhai."
"We have already discussed it. If he has something else to do, he will leave first."
"Have you set a date for shipping the goods?"
"Yes, we will start shipping the first batch of goods tomorrow afternoon."
Miss Chi Jun's tone had always been gentle, but Xiao Ancheng felt unexpectedly nervous.
He vaguely sensed some uneasiness, even doubt, in Miss Chi Jun's eyes.
He looked at her cautiously and guessed in his mind.
"Ms. Chi, the quantity of those goods is very large, may it be troublesome?" he asked carefully.
"This is what freight companies do, no problem!" Miss Chi said simply.
"I always feel that Commander Zhai and the others should pay some freight, what do you think?" He continued to test carefully.
"No need!" Miss Chi shook her head vigorously, "This is not a problem! This is a matter of the country! It is also for the war of resistance! We will transport goods for Chief Zhai for free, no problem!"
At this moment, Xiao Ancheng felt a little strange. What was Miss Chi hiding in her heart?
"Miss Chi, I have a guess." He looked at Miss Chi carefully and observed her reaction. "There is something on your mind, even a very serious matter! Is that right?"
"Yes!" She answered simply, but the doubt in her eyes was even more obvious!
"What is it? Can you tell me? Is there anything more serious than what happened at the old lady's birthday party? Is there anything?"
Miss Chi stared at him, remained silent for a moment, waved to him, turned around and walked back to the warehouse.
As soon as Xiao Ancheng entered the warehouse, he immediately saw that the huge wooden boxes in front of him were used to transport machinery and equipment. The large warehouse was filled with large and small wooden boxes. It was really a huge area!
Miss Chi walked to a wooden box and pointed to the handwritten calligraphy on the wooden box for Xiao Ancheng to read.
She said softly: "Mr. Xiao, all these goods are shipped from Shanghai."
Xiao Ancheng nodded, "Yes, all the wooden boxes say the place of departure is Shanghai. What's the matter?"
"Ship to Wuhan!" Miss Chi's eyes gradually became sharp, staring at Xiao Ancheng.
"Yes! Transported to Wuhan! That's what Chief Zhai told us at the beginning." Xiao Ancheng looked at her cautiously.
"Now, these equipment have to be shipped to Chongqing again! Really?"
"yes!"
"Why not build these factories in Wuhan and install these equipment!"
Only then did Xiao Ancheng understand what Miss Chi meant. According to what Chief Zhai told him and Chen Zifeng, these equipment were originally intended to build a new factory in Wuhan! But now that times have changed, these factories can no longer be built in Wuhan!
"Ms. Chi, that's it. At the beginning, Wuhan was considered the rear area. These equipments were to be built in Wuhan! But the situation is different now! The top brass in the military believe that the Japanese army will definitely attack Wuhan!"
"You mean our army can't protect Wuhan!" Miss Chi's eyes became even sharper!
"Maybe, we can't keep it!" Xiao Ancheng looked at her motionless, with an unspeakable regret in his heart!
"Why! We have so many troops!" Miss Chi asked softly.
This is a question that makes Xiao Ancheng lament in his heart! It is also a question that makes him painful and even more uncomfortable!
He took a deep breath and said softly: "Miss Chi, I have been on the battlefield, and fought with the Japanese army in Luodian, Shanghai! Miss Chi, it's not that our soldiers don't work hard, it's that the Japanese army's firepower is indeed advanced! They have aircraft,
There are tanks, warships, and artillery! We only have a few! Their troops have been rigorously trained! Our troops were farmers a few days ago, citizens in the city, and they have received very little training! The Japanese army wants
If we attack Wuhan, we may not be able to defend it!"
"So, the Japanese army will occupy Wuhan sooner or later!"
"Yes! It's very possible!" Xiao Ancheng had to grit his teeth and said.
Miss Chi Jun was silent for a long time, her eyes full of pain and uneasiness.
She finally said softly: "The Japanese have occupied Wuhan, what do you think the Chi family will do?"
Only then did Xiao Ancheng understand what Miss Chi was worried about!
"Miss Chi, if the Japanese army captures Wuhan, the government will move to Chongqing! Chief Zhai's equipment will have to be transported to Chongqing for this reason. You can go to Chongqing!"
"The Chi family has no one in Chongqing! Mr. Xiao, my Pengchuan Gang has no one in Chongqing!"
"There is no Pengchuan Gang in Chongqing, so you can go there too!"
"We are leaving. What should we do, the boat people of the Pengchuan Gang? They are being bullied, what should we do? Why do people on the water join the gang? They just want to be protected!"
"Ms. Chi, if Wuhan cannot be saved, what will you do?"
"I don't know. The Pengchuan Gang is mainly located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In fact, the roots of the Chi family are in Wuhu. My uncle didn't arrive in Wuhan until he was in charge. In the past twenty or thirty years, there has never been peace!"
"Wuhu was also occupied by the Japanese." Xiao Ancheng whispered.
"Yes, I know. If Wuhan cannot be saved, I don't know what the Chi family will do!"
Xiao Ancheng looked at her and was speechless. He couldn't do anything about the gang.
They were all silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, Miss Chi asked softly: "Mr. Xiao, you came to see me. Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Ancheng looked at her and could only say: "It's okay, I just want to see you, nothing else."
Miss Chi looked at him, suddenly smiled and said, "Can I ask Mr. Xiao to visit my grandma?"
