Agents of the Republic of China

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.At the same time, the Juntong Shanghai Station was also dispatching troops.Although Wang Tianmu, the station master, had received the news that Gao Tao and his wife had come to Shanghai, he still felt helpless in the face of the aggressive pressure from the Japanese and No. 76.

Under pressure from above, he arranged for Liu Chengfeng of the action team to lead some of the team members to stand by early in the morning.To his surprise, when Gao Tao and his wife came to Shanghai, they did not communicate with the military commander, but directly contacted Wan Molin, which made Wang Tianmu heave a sigh of relief.But he didn't dare to let it go. After all, it was an order issued by Dai Li himself. If something went wrong, he would still be held accountable.

For this reason, he ordered Liu Chengfeng to closely monitor Wan Molin's mansion.Just now, Liu Chengfeng sent someone to report that Wan Molin and his disciples, Glasses and Young Master, set off in three directions. Wan Molin's route was intercepted by Zhang Xiaolin and Li Shiqun, and it was confirmed that it was a false shot. The people and horses are still entangled with each other, attracting most of No. 76's attention during the period.Liu Chengfeng indirectly put forward his own opinion, he suspected that these two groups were also suspects.

Wang Tianmu hesitated. He is very clear about Wan Molin's current situation. He is alone in Shanghai. Without Zhang Xiaolin's obstruction, he can send people out of Shanghai without any effort. However, Zhang Xiaolin has already taken the Japanese with great fanfare. In this way, who would dare to help the three tycoons in the past?

In desperation, Wang Tianmu thought of someone.Perhaps now only he can help him get through this hurdle safely.

But this person is a veteran of the intelligence department. It can be said that even Dai Li, Chen Lifu, and Chen Guofu brothers should respectfully address him as "Mr." Come in front of him, will he agree?

Wang Tianmu hesitated again and again, but still dialed a number.

An old but slightly sharp voice came from the receiver, "Zeng Mansion, who is it?"

Wang Tianmu quickly replied, "Is this Uncle Chang? Hello, I'm Zheng Shisong (Note [-])."

"Oh, it's Mr. Zheng, what's the matter for calling so late?" Chang Bo's tone was very indifferent.

Wang Tianmu clenched the phone receiver tightly, his palms were a little wet, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, this junior is in a hurry, so I would like to ask, has the old man rested?"

Suddenly there was no sound on the other end of the phone, as if he was asking, Wang Tianmu didn't dare to speak out, so he had to wait patiently.

After a while, a moderate voice rang out from the other end of the phone, "Is this Ren Keng? I'm Zeng Yijiang."

Wang Tianmu was suddenly overjoyed, "Hello, Mr. Yugong, do you still remember my name?"

There was a burst of hearty laughter immediately.

Knowing this Yugong's straightforward temper, Wang Tianmu didn't dare to beat around the bush, and directly explained what he was going to entrust to Yugong.

Yu Gong thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "Okay, I understand what you mean, I have heard about this matter, since Ren Keng you opened your mouth, I will not ignore it."

Thank you very much Wang Tianmu.

After hanging up the phone, Yugong walked to the sofa and sat down. The person sitting opposite him was Wan Molin who was supposed to appear in Wanguo Nightclub.

Yugong pointed to the phone, "Chongqing can't sit still."

Wan Molin put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows, "Oh, really?"

Yugong stroked his beard, "You made this dangerous move tonight?"

Wan Molin shook his head, "No, it was purely out of helplessness. Zhang Xiaolin has already torn his face. Mr. Du kept writing letters and calling, but he couldn't change his mind. Tonight, he did a great job. I had no choice but to make such a bad plan. Xiao Shen and Xiao Ma had a young man surnamed Lin under him, it was his idea, and I had no choice at the time."

Yugong let out an "oh" and immediately straightened up, "My surname is Lin, what's your name?"

Wan Molin rubbed his forehead and thought hard for a while, "Lin Qi, Lin Xiaotang."

Yugong suddenly realized, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed, "Mulin, this is not like your character, a little guy who can't even remember his name, how dare you entrust him with such a big matter?" !"

Wan Molin said sternly: "Xiao Shen and Xiao Ma trust people, I can definitely trust them!"

Yugong nodded appreciatively, "As expected of someone who came out of Yuesheng, he really has the air of a general!"

Yugong was very clear about Wan Molin's intention to come to him in disguise tonight, and he didn't intend to shirk it. On the one hand, it was due to Du Yuesheng's face, and on the other hand, he had already learned that Gao Tao and the two were carrying confidential documents that could shake the political situation. , out of justice he could not refuse.Another one, just learned that Lin Xiaotang actually joined in, so he couldn't stay out of it.

After receiving Yugong's accurate answer, Wan Molin felt much more relaxed. The only thing that surprised him was that Yugong actually made a small request, that is, after this incident, he must take care of this Lin. Young man, as for the relationship between him and this man surnamed Lin, Wan Molin didn't dare to ask. For him, Yugong was willing to help him, which was doing him a huge favor. No matter how easy it is to support a young man But things.

After Chang Bo sent Wan Molin away, he reported to Yugong, "They have appeared in Hongkou! Liu Chengfeng seems to have got the news, and he has already moved over there, ready to respond!"

Yugong pondered for a moment, "Let Chang Huan pass by, take them to our pier, go directly to the ship, and then board the Hoover. Also, help me contact Hong Chawei, these foreign devils have not figured out what is going on. Let the Japanese stir up trouble in the concession!"

Lin Xiaotang and the others didn't go far before they realized that something was wrong. Suddenly there were many people with strange expressions on the street, they kept searching, as if they were looking for something, especially when Lin Xiaotang saw Yuan Jianfeng shivering. Hiding among a group of people, looking away while looking.Lin Xiaotang was sure that things were going to be bad.

It's not that Lin Xiaotang never thought of killing Yuan Jianfeng to silence him. It is true that Yuan Jianfeng and him have an inextricable knot, but it is related to the righteousness of the nation. Lin Xiaotang did not expect that he, who was also passionate back then, would degenerate to this point .Of course, the main reason is that when Lin Xiaotang sees Yuan Jianfeng, he always thinks of Xia Zhiping, and his heart softens involuntarily.

Lin Xiaotang signaled everyone to hide in a dark corner, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and there was a Japanese-style building standing on a street corner not far away. There are three words written on the lantern - "Toda Tsu".

Lin Xiaotang calmly winked at a few people, and they hurried towards the Japanese izakaya.

After opening the curtain, Lin Xiaotang discovered that the izakaya was indeed quite large, and it was decorated in all Japanese styles. As soon as he entered the door, a smiling waitress in kimono came up to greet him.

Among them, the middle-aged man surnamed Gao seemed to know Japanese. Although he didn't understand Lin Xiaotang's intention of coming here, he got Wan Molin's instructions before he came out to let them all listen to Lin Xiaotang's arrangement. So under Lin Xiaotang's signal, he asked for a small private room.

Lin Xiaotang spoke Japanese proficiently with the waiters. What surprised him was that the waiters here were all authentic Japanese and could understand Chinese.While flirting with the two pretty waiters indifferently, Lin Xiaotang calmly helped them order food and ordered two bottles of sake.

After the waiter bowed and saluted and exited, Lin Xiaotang came to the middle-aged man surnamed Gao and told them to eat with peace of mind. After all, there are still a large number of No. 76 agents searching outside, and the next journey is bound to be very difficult, so you might as well go Rest here to rest and replenish with some food.

Huoyan blinked his glasses and looked at Lin Xiaotang, unable to calm down.I have stayed here with Du Yuesheng for more than a year. Although my daily life is to eat and wait to die, the flame in my heart has never been extinguished. He still clearly remembers the unbearable experience he had in foreign countries, and that also It is precisely the biggest motivation for him to come back to serve the country.It was only when he arrived in China that he realized that his own abilities were useless. During the year and a half of his internment, he really understood the truth that "a tree grows more beautiful than a forest, and the wind will destroy it".He came to Shanghai incognito, looking forward to starting from scratch, but the cruel reality almost crushed him. Du Yuesheng didn't dare to use him, but raised him like a pet, but that was indeed not the life he hoped for.

Until meeting Lin Xiaotang today, Huoyan suddenly seemed to feel an inexplicable intimacy. He strongly felt that this person had the same kind of aura.Huoyan couldn't help thinking that maybe he could become the one who changed his own destiny.

Lin Xiaotang stepped out of the private room.Go straight to the bar of the izakaya. In front of the bar is the seat for the guests, and behind the bar is the operating table of the izakaya. An old Japanese man in a white chef uniform and with a short beard directs his staff to nervously prepare for the guests. All kinds of food, while skillfully flipping the sizzling seafood ingredients grilled on the iron plate.

There are not many guests at night. It can be seen that the place has just opened recently, and there is still a touch of decoration in the house, and it seems that it mainly provides services for Japanese in Shanghai. Those who come here to eat and drink are either soldiers. Either a Japanese businessman in a suit and leather shoes.

Seeing Lin Xiaotang sitting down in front of him, the old man bowed to greet him, Lin Xiaotang hurriedly returned the salute, ordered a pot of sake, a fried shrimp roll, a squid sushi, and a puffer fish sashimi.

The old man looked at Lin Xiaotang in surprise.

After a while, some side dishes ordered by Lin Xiaotang were placed in front of him. He picked up two pieces of crystal clear puffer fish sashimi, dipped them in some sauce and put them in his mouth. The aroma and tenderness of the fish filled his mouth immediately.

The old man calmly put a small glass of wine beside Lin Xiaotang.

Lin Xiaotang nodded, and said in Japanese: "The sauce is very special, green onion, vinegar, grapefruit juice, what else is it?"

The old man's eyes lit up, he sized up Lin Xiaotang for a while, and then said: "Thanks for the compliment, there is also the shop's special mashed radish."

Lin Xiaotang chuckled, raised the wine glass handed over by the old man and drank it down in one gulp, "With your glass of puffer fish fin wine, it will be even more perfect!"
