The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 455: Shen Mo in Trouble

"Brother Xiaohei, I wouldn't come to you for help unless it's absolutely necessary..." Sheng Dafu said with red eyes.

"Get up quickly, this is not the place to talk." Shen Mo looked around and saw that no one was passing by. He quickly opened the door and led the person into his home.

He was also taking a huge risk.

But Sheng Dafu and Cheng Qing, a couple, were able to shoot and kill Qian Damazi, deputy director of the Fourth Division of No. 76. Such people are worthy of respect.

Not to mention, it is rumored that these two are members of the Military Control Commission.

Of course, this matter remains to be discussed.

"Come on, Mr. Sheng, drink some hot tea to warm your body." Shen Mo poured a cup of hot water for Sheng Dafu and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Sheng Dafu thanked him. He was wearing beggar's clothes, which were tattered and leaky everywhere. He was very cold. If he hadn't been trying to save his life, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"There's not much to eat at home. You know, we usually don't cook at home. But it's almost the New Year, so I bought some snacks. You can have some." Shen Mo brought some snacks to Sheng Dafu.

Sheng Dafu grabbed a piece of sesame cake and stuffed it into his mouth, not caring about talking to Shen Mo.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Shen Mo sighed and quickly added some hot water to the teacup, "I have more here, plenty."

After eating seven or eight pieces in one breath, Sheng Dafu picked up the water cup and gulped it down. It was winter and boiled water cooled quickly. Otherwise, the newly poured boiled water would have been impossible to drink.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaohei. I haven't eaten or drunk anything since last night." Sheng Dafu said after taking a breath.

"It's been five days since the incident, and everyone thought you had left Shanghai." Shen Mo said.

"If I had left at that time, I might have been able to leave, but I might have been stuck in traffic. I was not alone and did not dare to take the risk," Sheng Dafu explained.

"So what are your plans next?" Shen Mo was anxious to go out, but he couldn't show that he was too anxious, so he could only ask patiently. The protagonist of today's report was Kuizi, and he went there to listen, so it didn't matter if he was a little late.

"I want to leave Shanghai, please help me, Brother Xiaohei."

"The railways and roads are now under the control of the Japanese. The only remaining route is the waterway. Do you plan to take the waterway?"

"Brother Xiaohei, do you have any connections?"

"No." Shen Mo said no without hesitation. At the moment, he didn't understand the situation yet and it was absolutely impossible for him to reveal anything to the other party. Even if there was, he could only say no.

"Then could you please, Brother Xiaohei, buy me two boat tickets to Hong Kong, the sooner the better." Sheng Dafu took out two gold bars from his underwear, placed them on the table, and pushed them over.

"Mr. Sheng, what are you doing?" Shen Mo was shocked and quickly declined, "You two are heroes who killed traitors. How can I take your money?"

"But the boat ticket to Hong Kong is not cheap now, and you have to take such a big risk. These two gold bars are actually not much." Sheng Dafu said.

"Mr. Sheng Daban, you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that after I take the gold bars, I will not only not buy you a boat ticket, but will also sell you to No. 76?" Shen Mo asked.

"I believe that you, Brother Xiaohei, are not such a person." Sheng Dafu said.

"Since the Shengda class trusts me, Xiao Hei, I can't accept the gold bars." Shen Mo said, "I dare not promise you about the boat tickets now. After all, I don't know if I can get them. But please give me a day, how about that?"

"Thank you, Brother Xiaohei." "Then I have news. Where can I find you?" Shen Mo asked.

"I'm on Daxi Road..." Sheng Dafu gave an address. Shen Mo knew that it was a beggars' den. It was relatively safe for Sheng Dafu to hide there.

However, isn't he afraid of being discovered with this unfamiliar face?

There are quite a few beggars with sharp eyes, who specialize in buying information and paying money. These people have no sense of morality and ethics, they only have money in their eyes.

However, this might be Sheng Dafu’s secret, so he didn’t dare to ask more questions.

After opening the door and seeing Sheng Dafu off, Shen Mo hurried out, hailed a rickshaw, and headed towards Nanjing Road.

By the time he arrived at Lao Miao's grocery store, Cheng Mo had already left.

Although he didn't meet Cheng Mo and Kuizi, he learned some information from Lao Miao. The clue about Kuizi had been laid a long time ago and was now accelerating.

The situation of Sheng Dafu was also unexpected.

Shen Mo cannot make the decision alone and must meet Cheng Mo before making a decision. Once this is done, he will have to take risks as it will affect the safety of the entire "Dark Fire" team.

In the evening, Cheng Mo came to the Lido Ballroom. He was also a shareholder of the ballroom, so it was normal for him to check on the operation of his business from time to time. What's more, he was also a consumer.

He arranges all his banquets and social events at the Lido, so why should he let outsiders make money?
No matter it was arranged by him or others, some social interaction was inevitable in this position.

Naturally, his relationship with Shen Mo changed from "strangers" to "acquaintances", and they had some communication and interaction with each other, but no one would make too many associations.

Sometimes, Cheng Mo's dance partners were secretly arranged by Shen Mo. Since he didn't have a fixed dance partner, it was naturally impossible for him to take the "dancer" away from the venue.

Everyone in Lido knew that Cheng Mo, the second boss, was a very self-disciplined man. He had a beautiful pregnant wife at home, and it was said that he also had a beautiful confidante, a Japanese woman.

In today's Shanghai Concession, men like him are very rare. Even if there are women willing to offer themselves to him and have a romantic encounter with him, there is no chance.

Before coming, Cheng Mo also learned from Lao Miao about how Shen Mo missed the meeting with him and encountered "Sheng Dafu".

There are many heroes among the grassroots.

Although Sheng Dafu had done peripheral intelligence work for the Military Control Commission, he had the courage to assassinate the No. 76 traitor spy Qian Damazi with Cheng Qing and his wife. This is worthy of respect.

Since they have come to me for help, I cannot just stand by and watch them die. Small figures like Sheng Dafu and Cheng Qing have no special value. Once they are caught by No. 76, they will most likely die.

However, if you want to help others, you cannot put yourself in danger. First of all, you have to make sure that Sheng Dafu is not a "bait" or something like that.

He came to find Shen Mo because they had worked together in Xianles in the past, and he had no other special purpose.

Moreover, Shen Mo was not the only one who had worked with Sheng Dafu. Why didn't he look for someone else but Shen Mo alone?
When Shen Mo was working at Xianles, did he miss some details that were noticed by Sheng Dafu?

These are what need to be made clear.

To be on the safe side, we still have to think of a way to test Sheng Dafu.
