February 26, 2th year of the Republic of China.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Sunday.

Shanghai train station.

Zhang Anping and Zeng Moyi came out of the train station.

In the past, the train station was always crowded with people, but at this time, the Shanghai train station was rarely quiet.

Occasionally, travelers rush into the station and rush to the waiting room impatiently.

Zeng Moyi held Zhang Anping's arm, glanced across the nearly deserted train station, and said:

"Let's go home first?"

For her, home is the small house bought by Zhang Guanfu - for Zhang Guanfu and his wife, it is a memory of their struggle in Shanghai, but for Zeng Moyi, it is a harbor.

A world that belongs to her and Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping shook his head: "I'll take you to the warehouse first. I want to go to Jiaxiyi Road to do something."

Jiaxiyi Road is located in the French Concession.

There is a property there under the name of the special group, and the person living there at this time is named Qu Yuanmu.

Zeng Moyi knew that Zhang Anping was finally going to arrange for Qu Yuanmu.

She nodded obediently.

After the two left the train station, they were about to hitch a ride when they saw a little girl holding roses selling the roses in her arms. After seeing Zhang Anping and Zeng Moyi, the little girl trotted over:

"Uncle, buy a flower for your beautiful sister."

Zeng Moyi shook her head at Zhang Anping, but Zhang Anping took out a wad of money with a smile and stuffed it into the little girl's hand:

"Then I bought them all!"

The little girl said excitedly: "Thank you, uncle."

Taking the flowers, Zhang Anping smiled and gave the large bouquet of roses to Zeng Moyi. After Zeng Moyi took it, she smiled happily, but muttered:
"waste."

Zhang Anping smiled and said nothing. After the two of them walked a few steps, Zhang, who had been so lavish just now, stopped in regret.

"what happened?"

"The little guy called me uncle? Called you sister?"

Zeng Moyi couldn't help laughing when she heard this, while Zhang Anping turned around and shouted to the little girl who could barely see her back:
"Little brat! I am the elder brother! I am the young and handsome elder brother!"

"Okay, okay, don't you be embarrassed!" Zeng Moyi quickly stopped Zhang Anping and pulled Zhang Anping to "run away".

……

Private salt warehouse.

Yu Xiuning, Chen Ming and Xu Zhongyi were happily cooking hot pot.

While Chen Ming was assigned by Yu Xiuning to get the wine, Xu Zhongyi said with a smile:
"Sister, when are you going to marry me, Old Chen?"

Yu Xiuning glared at Xu Zhongyi: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? Am I talking nonsense?" Xu Zhongyi smiled evilly: "Last night..."

"Shut up!" Yu Xiuning, who never blushed, suddenly blushed and quickly scolded Xu Zhongyi.

Xu Zhongyi covered his mouth and kept snickering, and angrily Yu Xiuning said angrily:

"Are you looking for a fight?"

As he spoke, he was about to pinch someone. Xu Zhongyi was so frightened that he backed away: "You'd better pinch Lao Chen! I can only let Gu Yufei pinch him!"

"piss off!"

Yu Xiuning became angry from shame.

Chen Ming came back with two bottles of red wine. When he saw Yu Xiuning and Xu Zhongyi seeming to be "flirting," he said with acidity, "Brother, you have to be careful."

"You are a friend and your wife cannot be bullied. You..."

Chen Ming was just about to give Xu Zhongyi a thorough explanation when a faint voice sounded like a troublemaker:
"You're welcome as my friend's wife."

Chen Ming was furious. Xu Zhongyi was protected by his own wife, so I didn’t dare offend him. Besides him, which bastard would dare to tease me like this?

"You're welcome..."

He immediately cursed, but the last few words were stuck in his throat.

Then it turned into trembling:

"Old, old, teacher."

The person who came was naturally Zhang Anping, who came back with Zeng Moyi. He sat down beside the hot pot and said with a smile:

"Do you want to greet my uncle?"

He was actually joking on purpose, but his authority among the students seemed to be too high, and Chen Ming couldn't handle such a joke.

Chen Ming shivered again, and Yu Xiuning on the side quickly turned on the husband-guarding mode when she saw this:
"Teacher, why are you back so early? Master, please sit here."

Looking at the cheerful Yu Xiuning, Zhang Anping said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm late and I have to be a master."

Facing the teacher's ridicule, Yu Xiuning blushed again, then glared at Chen Ming and whispered:
"Teacher, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Anping smiled and said: "I'll go through the formalities in a few days. Our conditions are limited now, and it's impossible to do anything big, but we have to have everything that should be there - Chen Ming, I will be the elder of the woman. If you kid If you don’t have a good attitude, be careful I’ll break your legs!”

Chen Ming was overjoyed when he heard this - of course not because his legs would be broken, but because the teacher agreed!

Yu Xiuning also looked happy. She had been worried that Zhang Anping would not agree.

The two looked at each other and tacitly planned to kneel down to Zhang Anping, acquiescing to this elder. Zhang Anping waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, don't do this. When we do things in a while, you two just kneel down and offer me a bowl of tea."

Yu Xiuning said sincerely: "Teacher, once you are a teacher, you are always a father. After X (I won't write this word to avoid collective driving in this building), your students will definitely regard you as a father."

Zhang Anping is the only one who has a face of vicissitudes of life now, otherwise Yu Xiuning who said this would probably die of embarrassment.

Zhang Anping smiled and waved his hand.

Because of him as an uninvited guest, the hot pot meal was a little restrained, especially Xu Zhongyi, who kept dodging for fear of being caught by Zhang Anping.

But this ostrich mentality is useless. After Zhang Anping finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Zhongyi.

Xu Zhongyi said cautiously:
"Teacher, please eat some more..."

"I want to eat people - Xu Zhongyi, can you be more reliable in your work? If I remember correctly, I have arranged the task of capturing Qu Yuanmu for two months, right?"

Zhang Anping stared:

"What about people?"

Xu Zhongyi cried sadly: "Teacher, he may have left Shanghai!"

"fart!"

"I received a tip that Nocturne Yuanmu appeared at the orphanage on Xiafei Road on New Year's Eve!"

"If you deploy people there, can Qu Yuanmu leave?"

Xu Zhongyi looked remorseful, and then whispered: "Teacher, Yanguan is now managed by me and is monolithic. Qu Yuanmu is no longer relevant. Let him live." In fact, Xu Zhongyi has been "working against the odds". I haven’t looked for Qu Yuanmu much.

Although he took Yanguan from Qu Yuanmu, he still felt that Qu Yuanmu was a decent person and there was no need to capture him and kill him.

The teacher didn't even kill Liu Fengqi, so why was he so worried about Qu Yuanmu?

"You bastard! When did I say I wanted to kill him? I want you to find him, train him to be one of our own, and leave him in Yanguan to work for us!"

Zhang Anping said angrily: "Do you really want to guard Yanguan until you grow old?"

Xu Zhongyi suddenly realized and muttered again:
"Actually, guarding Yan Pass... is quite good."

Zhang Anping looked like he hated iron but could not become steel:
"Three days! If you can't find Qu Yuanmu in three days, get out of Yanguan with me!"

……

In Zhang Anping's plan, Xu Zhongyi does not need to stay in Yanguan anymore.

It's a waste to put this guy in Yanguan. Now that Yanguan has stabilized, it's time for Xu Zhongyi to move his butt.

He plans to put Xu Zhongyi in the tobacco company and let Xu Zhongyi work hard - there is still half a year before the Songhu Battle. Before the Songhu Battle begins, if this product can be worked out, he must let Xu Zhongyi and Global Trade Got dealt with.

During the eight years of all-out war of resistance, the reason why the military rule became larger and larger was because of opium smuggling and trafficking.

That's why we can support a 20-person secret service team and a [-]-person armed force.
As a person from later generations, it is naturally impossible for him to be contaminated by this thing. The special team must be mixed up in Shanghai, and the scale must be as large as possible.

The support from this department is bound to be limited, and ways to bring in money must be worked out.

The bristles were prepared with one hand, and Xu Zhongyi naturally prepared them with one hand.

He would sell the three companies that were crowdfunded before the Songhu Battle, and then start a new business to build a more secretive industry. This was also a first-hand preparation.

Then...there are still five, six, seven or eight things to prepare, and they have to be done during this period of time.

I was thinking while driving and soon arrived at Jiaxiyi Road in the French Concession.

Parking the car two kilometers away from the safe house, Zhang Anping walked to the safe house.

Inside the room, Qu Yuanmu was studying the teaching materials left by Zhang Anping - his education level was average. At the end of December, he enrolled in a training class and stayed there until the holiday in February. After staying for more than a month, he felt deeply that his education was insufficient. So I asked Zhang Anping for teaching materials and took advantage of this time to study hard.

Suddenly, he felt something strange in the room. When he looked up, he found Zhang Anping standing in front of him like a ghost, staring at him motionless.

"Old, Chief Zhang!"

Qu Yuanmu stood up respectfully. He wanted to call him teacher, but he was afraid that Zhang Anping would not like it, so he quickly changed his name to Sir Zhang.

Zhang Anping sat down, motioned Qu Yuanmu to sit down, and said at the same time: "You can also call me teacher from now on."

Qu Yuanmu was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly called the teacher.

"Look at this - this is the investigation report on Liu Fengqi during this period." Zhang Anping took out a document and handed it to Qu Yuanmu:
"That boss of yours is really not simple. After being a bad gambler for three months, he finally started to take action."

Zhang Anping sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he had never underestimated anyone, otherwise he would definitely have been bitten by Liu Fengqi, a poisonous snake.

Qu Yuanmu took the document and read it carefully. He frowned and said, "He actually got on the line with the Japanese!"

"It's expected." Zhang Anping was very calm. From the moment he left Liu Fengqi alive, he had been thinking that this guy might have to defect to the Japanese - not because of his foreboding, but because of someone like Liu Fengqi who was gaining momentum in the gang. , it is inevitable for the mind to be distorted after losing its status.

At this time, if someone can make a comeback or take revenge on him, the possibility of selling his soul and ancestors is extremely high.

As the saying goes, power is like a drug. After tasting it, how many people can quit it?
Qu Yuanmu was extremely disappointed with Liu Fengqi.

"I wanted you to become enemies with me. You were lucky enough to survive being shot by me, so that you could win the trust of the Japanese."

"But now that Liu Fengqi has defected to the Japanese, your undercover plan needs to change. You can rely on Liu Fengqi's back. With his protection network, your safety can also be guaranteed."

Naturally, Zhang Anping would not tell Qu Yuanmu that he had planned to let him stay undercover next to Liu Fengqi from the beginning.

"Yes!"

Qu Yuanmu answered without hesitation.

There was no real hatred between him and Liu Fengqi, and it was not him who took away Liu Fengqi's salt pass. He was just a puppet who was supported by the emperor - the kind who was abandoned in the end.

Like a chamber pot that cannot be used.

Furthermore, even when Liu Fengqi was down and out, he never showed off arrogantly. Instead, he repeatedly advised Liu Fengqi to stay away from the casino and leave Shanghai.

"Pay more attention to Zhan Zhenshan."

"Boss Zhan?"

Qu Yuanmu was puzzled.

"I suspect that Liu Fengqi's defection to the Japanese was caused by Zhan Zhenshan's matchmaking. I sent people to investigate Zhan Zhenshan, but could not find any involvement between him and the Japanese."

"But he fled from the Northeast after September [-]th. The Northeast helped investigate him, and his traces were completely erased."

"Clean?" Qu Yuanmu didn't understand.

"The village where he was born was destroyed by the Japanese. His past relationships were completely wiped out by the Japanese." Zhang Anping said sternly: "In this case, if someone pretends to be Zhan Zhenshan, Who do you think he could be?"

Qu Yuanmu blurted out: "Spy?"

"Yes! And I guess there are quite a few Japanese spies like this!" Zhang Anping said: "The preparations made by the Japanese to annex our country are far beyond our imagination - Yuanmu, from now on, you will work with Dances with Wolves, remember that there will be no one around you that you can trust, even if someone contacts you in my name, you must never trust it."

"Unless you hear about my death, your only contact is me, do you understand?"

Qu Yuanmu, who has been studying information science for more than a month, naturally knows the meaning of these words - this is the greatest guarantee for his own safety.

For an undercover agent, the fewer people who know his identity, the better!

"Teacher, I understand."

Zhang Anping patted Qu Yuanmu on the shoulder and said, "I will take you out the day after tomorrow."

Qu Yuanmu took a deep breath and nodded—the day after tomorrow, he would be shot.

I hope the teacher can hit the mark.

……

After returning to Shanghai from Nanjing on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Anping was so busy that he didn't even have time to take a breath.

He was planting "nails" everywhere.

Among them were students from the Qingpu class, members of the [Shanghai Cooperation Association], and more than a dozen members of the Youth Gang.

These people have been carefully selected by Zhang Anping in the past two months. In the next period of time, they will try to establish contact with the target person. The ultimate goal is to become a trusted "friend" of the target person.

Except for a few of them, most of them have low-level secrets and are not directly led by Zhang Anping. Specifically, there are five to seven "nails" who are responsible for a member of the special team. After Shanghai fell, Then change the contact person according to their situation.

Moreover, each member of the special team responsible for contacting "Nail" will not have horizontal contact with other teammates. After receiving the task, he will "establish his career" and enter a silent state.

The special team added more than ten members before the year, and the total number of members once exceeded [-]. However, after this arrangement, when they gathered at work after the new year, the number of the special team actually decreased instead of increasing.

While arranging the nails, Qu Yuanmu also completed his lurking.

The specific process is:
When he went to the orphanage again, he was discovered by a secret whistle arranged by Xu Zhongyi. The secret whistle immediately informed Xu Zhongyi that Qu Yuanmu escaped while Xu Zhongyi led people to arrest him.

Xu Zhongyi, who was armed with a gun, opened fire during the pursuit. His marksmanship showed off his prowess, and he hit Qu Yuanmu with one shot.

But when Qu Yuanmu was about to be taken away, he was discovered by Tielin, the patrolman of the French Concession.

Tielin was upright and refused Xu Zhongyi's request to take Qu Yuanmu away, and arranged a "single room" for Xu Zhongyi.

Qu Yuanmu was sent to the hospital, escaped after rescue, and disappeared later, while Xu Zhongyi was released on bail by Zhang Anping.
