My girlfriend is from 1949

At Tilanqiao Prison, a black sedan slowly pulled up at the entrance.

Tilanqiao Prison is currently on high alert, with sandbag bunkers on both sides of the gate.

With two machine guns mounted up there, even a platoon of men wouldn't be able to break in anytime soon!

The liberation of Nanjing cast a shadow of defeat over the entire city of Shanghai.

Moreover, the large number of troops retreated to Shanghai, and soldiers patrolled everywhere with guns, which filled this largest metropolis in the Far East with a somber atmosphere.

People are now filled with anxiety, and those with money and connections have already begun to flee.

Meanwhile, prisons holding a large number of political prisoners have also strengthened their defenses at the request of higher authorities.

Wang Hai leaned out of the car window and laughed, "Old Liu, hurry up and open the door!"

Then he took out a pack of Hademen cigarettes from his pocket and handed it out the car window.

This is a good cigarette; it's not cheap.

Outside the sentry post, a middle-aged man sat on a sandbag, looking rather lazy.

Upon seeing the car parked next to the guard post, he immediately strode forward to check it out.

Upon seeing that the flat-headed driver was an old acquaintance, a smile appeared on his face.

He reached out and took the cigarette, then stuffed it directly into his pocket.

Her movements were fluid and smooth, showing no embarrassment at receiving gifts in public.

Old Liu accepted the cigarettes, smiled, and nodded to express his gratitude.

Bowing low, he smiled obsequiously at the man sitting in the back row, "Boss Du, the warden has already given instructions. You can go directly to his office."

Then he waved and gestured, "Open the door!"

squeak~

The heavy iron gates of the prison opened, and the black sedan slowly drove in under tight security.

Du Hengtai sat in the back seat, observing the situation inside the prison.

Although he had already obtained the prison's structural diagram and defense plan.

However, it's a habit to compare what you see with the drawings.

In the past month, he has become a very popular figure in Shanghai.

Besides his expertise in stockings and premium silver ear fungus, his mysterious background was also a reason why people fawned over him.

Especially at one banquet, Manager Lu and Du Hengtai seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Afterwards, Manager Lu hinted to the public that he had seen Du Hengtai get out of the young master's car!

After this hint, everyone became even more convinced of Lao Du's identity.

This also explains why Du Hengtai had good products but couldn't find out the location and information of the production factory behind them.

If someone else had said it, people might have hesitated.

But if Manager Lu said those words, then it's a different story.

With the changing situation, it's practically a done deal that Manager Lu will be the next police chief of H City.

Even Mao Sen voluntarily gave up his seat to him, which is enough to show how important this person is.

Moreover, the background of someone who could succeed Mao Sen must have been thoroughly investigated.

Therefore, everyone else believed what he said without a doubt.

With his status as a princeling, Du Hengtai found it even easier to navigate the Shanghai underworld.

Even when facing high-ranking municipal officials, they are treated as honored guests.

After all, he was not just a businessman, but also represented the interests of the Crown Prince!

Who dares to offend?

Especially now that the situation has deteriorated, the People's Liberation Army has liberated parts of Suzhou.

With a large army pressing in, it's clear they're preparing to liberate Shanghai.

Everyone wanted to get in touch with the Crown Prince and escape this place that was about to become a battlefield.

With Nanjing already lost, no one believed Shanghai could hold out.

Once Shanghai was occupied by the Communist army, these high-ranking figures instantly became prisoners.

The higher the position, the greater the sin!

Everyone fawned over him, wanting to help him arrange a romantic trip to Guangzhou.

Du Hengtai has recently become very close to Chen Muzheng, the warden of Tilanqiao Prison.

Every now and then, he would come to have tea with the warden.

The guards all knew him well.

Wang Hai parked the car downstairs, got out, and ran to the back to open the car door.

A respectful attitude is a hallmark of a qualified driver.

Boom!

A walking stick emerged from the car and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Next, a pair of high-end leather shoes, polished to a gleaming shine, were revealed.

Du Hengtai wore exquisitely crafted gold-rimmed glasses, dressed like a successful man.

He casually instructed, "Bring the gifts."

"Yes!" Wang Hai hurriedly bowed and took out a wooden box from the back compartment.

Then he quickened his pace and went up the stairs to wait for her.

Upon seeing this, the guards at the door quickly stood up straight.

Although the guards did not know the man's identity, they had personally witnessed the warden escort him downstairs.

Moreover, with that kind of imposing presence, it's not something a mere guard could offend.

dong dong dong~

The clerk knocked on the office door and reported, "Warden, Mr. Du has arrived."

Chen Muzheng put down his pen and immediately got up to greet him.

Upon seeing the two men enter, he greeted them warmly with a smile, "Boss Du, please come in, please come in!"

He led the person to the sofa and personally brewed a cup of tea for them.

After exchanging a few polite pleasantries, Du Hengtai turned and instructed, "Go wait outside and don't disturb my conversation with the warden."

"Yes, sir." Wang Hai bowed and slowly withdrew from the office.

She gently closed the door, turned around, and smiled as she chatted with the clerk who was working outside.

The two had met several times before and were considered acquaintances.

As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be polite, so Wang Hai took out an unopened pack of Hademen cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

The two sat outside and chatted idly.

With him guarding the door, there's no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping through the door.

When only the two of them were left in the office.

Chen Muzheng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Du, Nanjing has been liberated!"

There was a hint of ingratiation in his smile.

Come to think of it, he was an unlucky fellow.

He was doing well in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but the previous warden, seeing that things were not going well, resigned due to illness.

Then the higher-ups sent him here to be the warden.

In the past, I would have accepted it with great joy.

But now, this location is a powder keg.

In particular, the prisons held a large number of political prisoners, many of whom were executed.

It can be said that he had a blood feud with the underground Communist Party.

If Shanghai were occupied, the first person to be executed would probably be the prison warden!

Unfortunately, he had no powerful connections and no money.

There wasn't even a chance to escape!

So when the middleman approached him, he agreed to cooperate after only a slight hesitation.

He also knew that the underground party was hinting at his defection.

I had some hesitation before, which is why I neither agreed nor refused.

Now that Nanjing has fallen, he is truly panicked.

With the capital Nanjing lost, defeat was inevitable.

If we don't express our stance now, it will be too late.

That's why I waited so enthusiastically when I received Du Hengtai's call last night.

However, one cannot directly say "surrender," otherwise one will lose the bargaining chip.

It's really distressing.

Each with their own thoughts, they exchanged a few polite words.

Du Hengtai got straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, this is exactly what I need your help with!"
