The total amount of gold bars, fiat currency and foreign currency in the suitcase is nearly 30% more than the wealth on the "gift list" that Tang Xiaoye transferred to his friend.
Cheng Qianfan naturally understood the two tricks. He first gave an expectation value and then gave a surprise. In this case, Xiao Cheng, who is greedy for money, will naturally be more satisfied.
Then the question is.
The Red Party is very poor and doesn't have that much money at all.
Cheng Qianfan stroked his chin and shook his head.
Comrade "Flame" has a certain understanding of the economic situation of the Shanghai Red Party, and it is very difficult for the organization to spend such a large sum of money.
To take a step back, if the organization can really spend such a large amount of money to save people, then this comrade must be extremely important.
Then, the comrades of the ‘landlord’ or ‘dandelion’ will contact him secretly and urgently raise funds from him.
The importance and particularity of the "flame" determines that he does not need to take on the task of providing funds to the organization. However, when there is an urgent matter, Cheng Qianfan naturally needs to help.
With Mr. Xiao Cheng's current wealth and occasionally secretly help, there will be no problem. Of course, whether it is the "landlord" or the "dandelion", he pays great attention to matters involving money, and has only spoken to him once so far.
The only time I opened my mouth was that the "landlord" was preparing for the future and specially borrowed some gold bars and foreign currency from Comrade "Scarlett". This was the funds to be prepared and used in case of an emergency.
The amount is almost twice the amount of money in the suitcase sent by Tang Xiaoye’s friend today. For Cheng Qianfan, this money is not worth mentioning at all, but it is the "life-saving money" of the entire Shanghai Party organization in an emergency.
Such emergencies include spending money to clear and rescue comrades in the party.
Objectively speaking, judging from the fact that the money in the suitcase is quite expensive, if the rescue of Bai Feiyu is really an organizational rescue operation, the source of his funds is highly likely to come from that amount of money.
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved.
He held the cat in one hand, bent down, and carefully checked the pound and foreign currency in the suitcase.
He specially provided the pound and foreign currency used by Fang Jinghua.
Cheng Qianfan sniffed these pounds one by one.
It wasn't that he left a mark in advance, it was a violation of organizational discipline.
However, the pounds were improperly preserved and were slightly moldy when they were watered. When Cheng Qianfan gave the money to Fang Jinghua, he also specifically reminded Fang Jinghua to take a shower to remove the moldy smell.
At that time, Fang Jinghua also joked that many of his comrades were doing the revolution on hungry days. The money in your Xiao Cheng family was moldy and he wanted to defeat the counter-revolutionary Cheng Qianfan.
After the sun exposure, the musty smell will dissipate a lot.
However, if a person with a sensitive sense of smell deliberately smells, he can still smell a trace of the remaining musty smell.
No musty smell.
Cheng Qianfan frowned.
Of course, this does not mean that the action of rescuing Bai Feiyu was completely ruled out that it was our party's action. After all, there is a possibility that there are other sources of funding in the organization and did not use the money he provided.
Moreover, this possibility is not low. Cheng Qianfan had learned from Comrade Peng and Ou that our party has comrades who specialize in business and money in Shanghai.
However, no matter what, there was a little more doubt in Cheng Qianfan's heart.
...
"Comrade Tang Xiaoye, you have to perform well." After listening to Tang Xiaoye's report on the process and details of the meeting between Cheng Qianfan in Yandeli, Wen Guoran praised the girl.
"Responsible and adaptable," he said with relief.
"Teacher Wen, stop praising me." Tang Xiaoye said with a smile, "You don't know how nervous I was at that time. Fortunately, I had a strong psychological quality and did not reveal it."
"It seems that I have a very accurate view of people." Wen Guoran said with a smile, "You girl, not old, look soft and weak, but in fact she is bold and careful, calm and calm."
He is really satisfied.
From the April 12th counter-revolutionary coup, the massacre of the Kuomintang reactionaries, to the second cooperation between the two parties, the entire Shanghai, to be precise, suffered heavy losses in the party organizations across the country.
Especially in Shanghai, the National Government and the French Concession jointly launched a large-scale search every once in a while.
So many comrades sacrificed.
After the second cooperation between Guohong, Comrade Xiangwu came to Shanghai and secretly met with comrades from Shanghai. At that time, the list of comrades that could be mastered by the organization was only 170.
According to statistics, in the entire Shanghai, under the terror of white comrades, the survival rate of comrades who have been in party membership for more than three years is even less than 10%!
How tragic!
How tragic!
He once heard a leader of the municipal party committee say that he was said to be an old comrade from a secret front, criticizing the young comrades who have no experience in fighting and are very immature.
The "old comrade" strongly demanded that a young comrade be sent out of Shanghai and to the base.
Wen Guoran has an objection to this "old comrade".
This "old comrade" is naturally also a tried and tested comrade who has emerged from the bloody white horror. Naturally, he should be aware of the sacrifices and difficulties of our party over the years.
If there are many experienced old comrades, how could the organization bear to let young comrades with little experience show up and face danger?
It’s really hard to speak while standing and without a back pain!
What's more, among young comrades, there are also comrades who perform very well, have good abilities and have made rapid progress.
In Wen Guoran's opinion, Comrade Tang Xiaoye is one of the best.
...
Cheng Qianfan thought of Tang Xiaoye again.
If the younger sister's performance in front of him was in the eyes of other comrades, she should have performed well or even good.
After all, facing the fierce counter-revolutionary "Zhao Cheng" who is famous, it is difficult to be nervous and have no obvious mistakes. It is quite appropriate to speak and respond to the situation.
However, in the eyes of "Flame", Tang Xiaoye is still a little immature.
...
"However, I have made small mistakes," said Tang Xiaoye. "I often went to the Cheng family in Yandeli when I was a child. Maybe because of this, I have some subconscious reactions from childhood."
Tang Xiaoye said that when he had an argument with Cheng Qianfan, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the window, but was "catched" by Cheng Qianfan and pointed out the matter directly.
"As the saying goes, one's mistake will lead to wisdom." Wen Guoran nodded and said, "Fortunately, Cheng Qianfan is not a professional agent and is close to your family. He has no doubts. I will pay attention next time."
...
"I am still immature and not fully prepared mentally and mentally, otherwise I would not have made such mistakes." Cheng Qianfan said in his heart.
Perhaps because she returned to the familiar environment she was in childhood, the younger sister's subconscious reaction actually exposed some details.
He deliberately pretended to be angry and quarreled with Tang Xiaoye, which was to secretly remind Tang Xiaoye to pay attention to this subconscious detailed reaction.
...
"What should I do with this pair of jade bracelets?" Tang Xiaoye opened the jewelry box, placed it on the table, and pushed it to Wen Guoran.
"Let me see." Wen Guoran pushed his glasses, took out the magnifying glass from the desk drawer, looked carefully, and nodded frequently, "Good object!"
"Then I'll donate it, sell it or dispose of it, and raise funds for the organization," said Tang Xiaoye.
"You have this intention, that's good." Wen Guoran said, "But I don't agree."
...
"I hope this crying bag can wake up." Cheng Qianfan lay on the bed, the cat lay on his belly, making a purr.
Tang Xiaoye didn't want the "intermediate fee". He deliberately pretended to be angry and forced Tang Xiaoye to accept the pair of jade bracelets.
On the surface, this is a sign that the brother gives his sister the benefits, but the younger sister is not grateful and the older brother is angry with her.
In fact, he secretly warned Tang Xiaoye that he had to get the interim fee.
Not to mention that this is to cover up her behavior of saving people, and if my brother gives it to you, you hold it, this is also a manifestation of "closeness".
He understood that Tang Xiaoye despised him, even had a certain degree of hostility, and even hated him, a senior counter-revolutionary police officer. However, since he took the initiative to visit and asked him for help, he had to act to the end. Even if he hated someone, he should smile at this time and bring the relationship closer.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan is determined to give Tang Xiaoye the "intermediate benefit fee" because "Mr. Xiao Cheng" needs to have an explanation for this matter:
The Cheng family's sister came to him to help him get someone. The other party was very sincere, so he naturally could not refuse.
Tang Xiaoye collected the interim fee, which itself is a left-hand proof of this explanation.
At the same time, this is also a protection for Tang Xiaoye - she is hard to refuse, and she can only help find connections to gain people if she sees benefits.
In short, for this matter, with General Xiao Cheng's reputation, rescuing Bai Feiyu is not difficult. The important thing is how to deal with the aftermath and will not arouse suspicion.
Cheng Qianfan is extremely sure that after learning that Bai Feiyu was released, Wang Kangnian must be extremely angry, and he will be excited in his anger.
How was Bai Feiyu rescued?
Release someone with a relationship?
Whose relationship did you ask?
Who entrusted the relationship?
Is there any middleman?
Who is the middleman?
These are all details. Any details that are not done well may fall into the eyes of Wang Kangnian, who is insidious and cunning, and has a rich experience in chasing and arresting the Red Party.
Cheng Qianfan hopes that after Tang Xiaoye returns, he can think carefully about today's words and deeds, reflect on it, accumulate experience, and avoid learning lessons.
For underground workers, learning lessons often means death and sacrifice!
...
"This pair of jade bracelets was given to you by Cheng Qianfan." Wen Guoran said, "Cheng Qianfan is extremely greedy for money. In his opinion, if you are willing to help you redeem people through relationships, it must be a greedy for benefits, at least for this reason."
He lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said, "So, you can't donate this pair of jade bracelets, you should also keep it. It's best to wear it when you go to see Cheng Qianfan next time."
"Will that make Cheng Qianfan misunderstand that I am an insincere and greedy woman?" Tang Xiaoye said.
"What's this?" Wen Guoran smiled and shook his head, "A young girl has thin skin and is embarrassed to ask for gifts in front of her. In fact, she is extremely happy inside."
After hearing Wen Guoran's words, Tang Xiaoye fell into thinking and nodded.
"In addition, as for greed for money, what's the point of greed for a little money?" Wen Guoran said, "When I talk about this, I just remembered a very serious question."
Seeing Wen Guoran's serious expression, Tang Xiaoye also had a serious expression, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"It can't be said to be a mistake, it's just that it's better not to deal with it." Wen Guoran said.
"When Cheng Qianfan gives you a jade bracelet as a gift, you can be a little bit distorted and then accept it with the flow." He continued, "In this way, you will show that you like jewelry and are greedy for small money. This will also explain that you are helping Bai Feiyu out for this matter. It is not only to help friends, but also to benefit it."
"Teacher Wen, it's just that, I'm not like this." Tang Xiaoye said.
"It's not usually because you don't have the opportunity to 'show'." Wen Guoran said, "This is not inconsistent with your usual personality and performance."
"You are not greedy for money without principles," Wen Guoran said. "Isn't it normal to help your friends and make some benefits?"
As he said that, Wen Guoran joked, "I don't like to take advantage of it. This is not the style of Shanghai Xiaonan."
When Tang Xiaoye heard this, she also laughed. Teacher Wen himself was from Shanghai, so she was joking.
The teacher's wife also likes to take advantage of the little things, but after September 18, every time the school organized anti-Japanese donations, the teacher's wife responded positively. It is said that even the dowry was sold and all the donations were donated.
Also, for example, my mother is rich and has nothing to do. However, if there is a discount in the department store, my mother will definitely be the first to kill her, as if she can make a big profit.
In addition, it is common for some of my mother’s card friends to help each other and receive some small gifts.
"Teacher, I'm not thinking well." Tang Xiaoye said with a red face.
"Not you're blaming you, you've done a great job." Wen Guoran waved his hand and said, "It's because I didn't think it through, the responsibility lies with me."
As he said that, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you are facing Cheng Qianfan. He should not have any doubts about you, and there will be no bad results. However, we must learn from it and learn from the lessons. Next time, we must be more careful and make sufficient preparations and pre-proposals."
"I will pay attention." Tang Xiaoye nodded.
...
Cheng Qianfan unscrewed the bedside lamp and took out the jewelry box that Comrade Feiyu gave him from the official document.
He looked carefully and studied carefully.
But I still couldn't find any unusual things.
Perhaps it is really as he and Comrade Lu Dazhang analyzed that only the parties involved know the special features of this jewelry box, and it is actually useless to outsiders.
While Cheng Qianfan was tossing and turning, Bai Ruolan also suffered from insomnia.
She guessed that her husband was engaged in a secret job, and that the secret job was dangerous.
Although Cheng Qianfan had been shot and injured, there was also the thrilling incident in which Li Hao suddenly came to his house to pick her up and Xiaobao in an emergency evacuation.
However, none of this was as strong as today when she witnessed her husband's highly nervous face of the suitcase.
She knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and no matter where she could see, her husband would often experience more dangerous and cruel things.
She is not afraid.
She just felt sorry for Cheng Qianfan.
...
At this moment.
During the heavy rainy night, Shanghai Station was on high alert and a train from Hangzhou to Shanghai entered the station.
