Desdron Road.
Fang Muheng and Liu Bo carefully inspected the safe house arranged for them by the Shanghai underground party.
This is a Shikumen house. The first floor is the main hall and kitchen, and there is a bedroom. The second floor is a utility room, a study room, and a bedroom.
"The comrades from the underground party are very careful." He Guan nodded with satisfaction.
A rope is tied to the window of the second floor of the utility room. The rope is now hanging in the room. If necessary, you can put the rope out at any time and climb over the window and slide down the rope. There is a small river outside. The river is not wide and you can swim.
"The comrades who arranged this safe house must be extremely cautious, and safety is the priority in everything." Liu Bo said, and he was also very satisfied with this safe house.
On the way back, the two bought steamed buns and sesame cakes, drank some cold water, and fed them to deal with them.
"It's a long night and a lot of dreams. I'll go to Citibank tomorrow morning to withdraw the fundraising funds." Fang Muheng said in contemplation, "We can't stay in Shanghai for a long time."
Today, I encountered a police investigation. Although it was a false alarm, Fang Muheng still made him sweat.
His personal life and death are not enough to worry about, and the anti-Japanese donation he has in hand must not be lost.
"Okay." Liu Bo nodded for a moment.
The plan they had previously formulated was to arrange for Mrs. Tan and Tan Kewang (Minger) to evacuate with them, so as to protect them along the way.
However, the only thing to worry about is that there are safety risks:
At this time, the enemy has been secretly paying attention to Tan Pinggong. They are innocent faces. Once they leave Shanghai with Mrs. Tan, it will easily arouse the enemy's suspicion and investigation.
These two, no matter what the relationship is, Fang Muheng or Liu Bo, are all "dangerous people". If they are found by the enemy, they will affect Mrs. Tan and the children.
Liu Bo and the other two considered talking to Tan Pinggong frankly and soliciting Tan Pinggong's opinions.
And solemnly stated that if Mrs. Tan and her children leave Shanghai with them, they must do their best to protect the safety of Mrs. Tan and her son.
Tan Pinggong was very pleased and happy about the sincere attitude of the New Fourth Army.
He could feel the power of the word "do your best" in Fang Muheng's mouth.
After much consideration, Tan Pinggong chose to arrange for him to escort his wife and children away.
Liu Bo and Fang Muheng agreed to Tan Pinggong's choice, and the two of them held their fists to pay tribute to Tan Pinggong.
No matter what considerations Tan Pinggong made this choice, they all need to understand—
They had a discussion on this matter before, and no one could guarantee that they would be able to protect Mrs. Tan and her son. All they could do was protect each other's life.
Of course, Mrs. Tan and her son did not leave Shanghai with them, and this was the best choice.
In this case, the benefits of leaving Shanghai are reflected.
They can also have more flexibility.
"A shooting incident occurred on Ma Sinan Road. It is said that a big traitor was killed. This incident will attract greater attention from the enemy." Liu Bo analyzed, "This incident has both good and bad impact on us."
When lit a cigarette, Liu Bo thought, "The advantage is that this item will separate part of the enemy's attention."
"The disadvantage is that the enemy's investigation will be stricter, and we may leave more troublesome than expected." Fang Muheng took the cigarette handed over by Liu Bo, lit it, took a sip, and continued.
"That's right." Liu Bo glanced at Fang Muheng, and felt very moved.
Mu Heng was so immature at the beginning, and it could even be said to be a little naive.
In less than three years, Fang Muheng has grown into an excellent New Fourth Army cadre. He can use his pen as a gun, his mouth as a spear, and his martial arts can shoot and kill the enemy. He can sneak into the occupied areas and avoid being confused when encountering problems, and he can adapt to the situation.
"Why haven't Zhongyuan come back yet?" Fang Muheng took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, showing a look of worry.
Although in private, the three of them are still called by their current pseudonyms to avoid accidental misses.
...
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
First, there were three consecutive knocks, then paused for two seconds, and then there were three consecutive knocks. At the same time, the people outside coughed twice.
"who?"
"Second brother, it's me, Central Plains."
With a creak, the door opened.
He Guan flashed in.
Liu Bo stood at the door with a cigarette in his mouth and pretended to smoke. In fact, he was alert to observe the movement outside. After confirming that He Guan was not followed, he walked back to the house and closed the door and bolted it.
"Why did you come back so late?" Fang Muheng asked.
He Guan was about to speak, and when he saw Liu Bo make a 'shh' gesture and pointing to the upstairs.
...
"I encountered some trouble on the way back." He Guan said, "There was something wrong with Ma Sinan Road. You didn't involve you, right?"
"On the way back, I encountered a police officer checking me, and Zhu Meng recognized me." Liu Bo said.
He Guan glanced at Liu Bo and naturally understood that Liu Bo was able to return safely, so it must be Zhu Meng who was proud of his efforts.
"Zhu Meng..." He Guan thought for a while, "Lu Jiufeng's apprentice?"
Liu Bo nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I am greedy for small money and have a sense of responsibility in doing things."
He Guan understood the meaning of "being proficient in doing things" means that he did a lot of things he wanted, but he would not force the citizens too much, and he would even preside over the bullied weak.
After hearing the explanations from the two former police officers in the police station, Fang Muheng also felt aroused in his heart. This Zhu Meng is not bad by nature and is a target of anti-Japanese united front that can unite and develop.
Before he decided to leave Shanghai, he informed the comrades of the Shanghai underground party that as for whether the anti-Japanese united front would develop in the future, the Shanghai Red Party decided based on the situation.
"The person who was killed was Zhou Wenrui, the director of the pseudo-Shanghai Finance Bureau." He Guan said, "This person is a famous traitor with a surname in Shanghai."
Liu Bo and Fang Muheng suddenly realized that no wonder the police station investigated passers-by so vigorously, and the police did not seem to be very enthusiastic about this matter.
"Can you see the comrades at the traffic station?" Liu Bo asked.
He Guan did not go to the church with them, but had other important things.
He was going to join the comrades at the "Transportation Station" and prepared to receive the supplies prepared by the Shanghai underground party for the team.
"No." He Guan shook his head, "I have been waiting at the agreed location. After half an hour of the agreed time, I dare not delay any longer, so I can only evacuate decisively."
"Will something happen?" Fang Muheng frowned and asked.
"I don't know." He Guan also had a solemn expression, "However, according to our agreement with the comrades at the transportation station, if they did not meet at the agreed location, they would find a way to contact us again."
Fang Muheng and Liu Bo also had solemn expressions. They were all confused and worried about the behavior of the comrades at the "Traffic Station".
At this moment, the sound of bells of foreign cars seemed to be heard in the alley outside.
