Manini Road.
A Shikumen residence.
Cheng Qianfan went to Sheng Shuyu's appointment.
"Brother Sheng, here I come to Shanghai, what can I do to serve?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
He received a secret telegram from the Nanjing headquarters, asking him to cooperate with Sheng Shuyu's actions.
The telegram did not say anything about the action.
This made Cheng Qianfan more and more alert.
Although Sheng Shuyu is young, he is an old agent and a trump card agent known for being "extremely young and highly qualified" within the secret service.
Sheng Shuyu did not answer directly, but took out a piece of paper from the briefcase.
"This is?"
"This is the floor plan of Licha Hotel." Sheng Shuyu said.
"What do I need to do?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Creating chaos in Licha Hotel, attracting nearby police officers, hotel people, and tourists," said Sheng Shuyu.
"Li Cha Hotel?" Cheng Qianfan frowned, "This place is very sensitive, there is no problem in taking action. The problem is how to deal with it after taking action."
...
Licha Hotel is a high-end hotel, and everyone lives in foreigners and higher Chinese.
The hotel owner is British and has a deep background.
"This is your problem with Brother Cheng." Sheng Shuyu said coldly, "I only have one request to do this before the morning after tomorrow."
"Brother Sheng, you are trying to make trouble." Cheng Qianfan's tone also turned cold.
Sheng Shuyu looked at the angry Cheng Qianfan and suddenly laughed, "Brother Cheng, I'm not going to make things difficult for you if you are your brother. It's really urgent. My brother also has pressure and difficulties in secret missions issued by the audience."
Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, obviously not believing it. He thought that this was Sheng Shuyu deliberately making things difficult for him:
Where is Licha Hotel? It has a deep background and has a deep background in the French Concession and the British and American Concession. The boss of Licha Hotel also has deep connections in the country's government.
You, Shuyu, you, cannot not know about these situations. You want me to cause trouble there, and time is so tight. Isn’t this intentional difficulty?
"Brother Cheng, I'm not going to make things difficult for you if you are brother." Seeing that Cheng Qianfan was still angry, Sheng Shuyu had to lower his voice, "Forget it, I won't hide this from you."
"Don't harm me!" Cheng Qianfan's face changed, meaning that if it was an extremely confidential matter, don't tell me.
"When I came, I also said that, you can know this." Sheng Shuyu said.
Cheng Qianfan then gave up.
...
"Tomorrow, a special guest will be checked in at Licha Hotel." Sheng Shuyu said, "My mission is to sneak into this person's room and obtain confidential information."
Cheng Qianfan didn't say anything, Sheng Shuyu didn't say who the person was, and he didn't rush to ask.
Sheng Shuyu, who was deliberately trying to keep him in hiding, felt bored when he saw Cheng Qianfan not in a hurry to ask.
"This person is the one in the Red Party." Sheng Shuyu said a name.
Cheng Qianfan was extremely shocked. He turned out to be Comrade Xiangwu.
Comrade Xiangwu has come to Shanghai?
The Northwest Headquarters did not have a telegram in advance, so Cheng Qianfan didn't know.
The Northwest did not inform in advance, indicating that Comrade Xiangwu had no plans to meet with "Shuo" when he came to Shanghai this time.
"What is this person doing in Shanghai? I'm not afraid that we will attack him." Cheng Qianfan showed a surprised expression.
Although the relationship between the two parties eased after the Xi'an Incident and began to have direct contact, the identity of Comrade Xiangwu suddenly came to Shanghai, so he naturally had extremely important work.
"Start it?" Sheng Shuyu looked at Cheng Qianfan and shook his head, "My mission is to monitor this group of people and obtain information and information."
"At the same time, there are other people, and their task is to be responsible for protection." Sheng Shuyu's expression was serious, "There must not be any trouble for this person."
"Will the Japanese take action?" Cheng Qianfan immediately reacted.
"This person was transferred from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and the commission met with him in Hangzhou." Sheng Shuyu said, "This matter is very secret at present, and the Japanese should not know it, but we cannot take it lightly. Once the Japanese know about this, they will definitely destroy it at all costs."
Cheng Qianfan nodded. He could guess that Comrade Xiangwu turned to Shanghai to meet with Chang Kaishen in Hangzhou, which must be related to the second cooperation negotiation with the Communist Party of China.
If the Japanese knew, they would definitely destroy it at all costs.
"The safety of this man must be guaranteed," said Sheng Shuyu.
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Two thousand fiat coins, I need two thousand fiat coins."
"What do you want so much money to do?" Sheng Shuyu was shocked.
"Buy news, attracting people." Cheng Qianfan raised a smile on his lips.
...
That night, Cheng Qianfan sent emergency power to the Northwest Headquarters.
He reported to the headquarters the secret service's conspiracy and the plans he envisioned.
Please inform Comrade Xiangwu immediately.
Two hours later, at Licha Hotel, Comrade Xiangwu was still working at his desk, and Xiong Jiahua knocked on the door and came in to report.
"Chief, a telegram transferred from the headquarters."
Comrade Xiangwu picked up the telegram and carefully
After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "I have no objection to call the headquarters."
An hour and a half later, Cheng Qianfan finally received a call from the Northwest Headquarters: Follow the plan and ensure the safety of Comrade Xiangwu.
Cheng Qianfan called back: I swear to protect you to the death!
...
Walk north along the Bund and cross the famous Waibaidu Bridge, which is an east-west road, which is Huangpu Road.
Opposite the Soviet Consulate General in Shanghai, No. 15 Huangpu Road, is the famous Licha Hotel.
In 1846, a foreigner named Richards founded this hotel.
This is the first Xishang hotel in Shanghai since its opening, and is known as "a famous milestone building in Shanghai."
China's first electric light is lit here.
China's first phone is connected here.
The Western semi-audio open-air movie debuts here.
The many firsts have created this most luxurious Western-style hotel in Shanghai and one of the most famous hotels in China and the Far East.
The entrance of the Licha Hotel.
Three black cars arrived and stopped slowly.
In the car in the middle, Li Hao in the driver's seat pulled the handbrake, got out of the car, and opened the door of the rear seat.
Cheng Qianfan got out of the car, then came out with a slender and beautiful hand as white as onion, holding a top hat in his hand.
"You go back first." Cheng Qianfan took the top hat from Bai Ruolan's hand and put it on it casually. Bai Ruolan saw that the hat was a little tilted, poked her head out and helped him tidy it up.
"Don't fight." Bai Ruolan whispered.
"I know." Cheng Qianfan nodded with a smile.
Li Hao returned to the driver's seat and drove away.
In early spring, there is still a little cold in Shanghai.
Cheng Qianfan raised the collar of his windbreaker and glanced at the third floor of the hotel.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, played a beautiful job of playing with the lighter, and lit the cigarette.
Two minutes later, Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
