In the private room of Yuming Teahouse, Yumei, Yanni and Persimmon are all there.
After listening to Yingtao's report, Yumei asked: "Yingtao, who will be the sisters from home?"
Cherry said: "All the ladies in Zuichunlou know each other. Only you and Sister Wang can deal with it."
Yumei couldn't help but shudder. She didn't say a word for a long time.
Little Cherry then said: "Sister Yumei, Cherry knows that this is too much for you, but there is no other way. I have no choice but to take such a drastic step."
Yumei said: "Tao Qingjie, my eldest sister doesn't mean to blame you. She just needs the consent of Captain Wang. Yanni and I will rush back right away to ask for the opinion of Captain Wang."
Little Cherry subconsciously glanced at her watch and said urgently: "It's almost ten o'clock. The sooner you two do it, the better. Otherwise it's too late."
Yumei said goodbye. She and Yanni hurriedly walked out of the teahouse and took a rickshaw back to Madam Ma's house.
After listening to Yumei's report, Shanzi said nothing and categorically canceled the first plan of action.
Upon hearing Shanzi's statement, Yumei said: "Zikai, I understand your mood. But to say the least, this is just a show. It's to eradicate the plainclothes team."
Shanzi asked angrily: "Apart from just acting on occasion, is there no other way?"
Yumei continued: "There will always be a way. But this opportunity is hard-won. We cannot let all our efforts go to waste. I am determined to ensure that I perform this play well."
Shanzi suddenly roared: "How dare you."
Regardless of Shanzi's objection, Yumei quickly turned her attention to Xiaoru.
Yumei said: "Xiaoru, Yanni and Jinye were invited to the plainclothes team. Someone must know her. You and I will sing this play."
Xiaoru said: "That's it."
Shanzi gritted his teeth and warned fiercely: "Let's see who dares."
Xiaoru then said: "I dare."
Shanzi roared at Xiaoru again: "You are so presumptuous. Who dares to make a move in this stinky game? If you are so stubborn, you will break her legs."
Xiaoru returned to Shanzi and rolled her eyes, waiting for Yumei's final decision.
Yumei said: "Xiaoru, it's not too late. Let's go."
Xiaoru agreed, took Yumei's hand and left.
Shanzi's face flushed red and he stamped his foot abruptly.
It was almost noon. Little Cherry finally welcomed Wei Xiaofeng into the tea room.
When Yumei and Xiaoru stood up at the same time, Wei Xiaofeng was as stiff as a wooden stake.
In Wei Xiaofeng's consciousness, the older girl on the left is graceful and quiet. She is like a white lotus blooming quietly in the clear water. She is graceful, graceful and charming.
Look at the girl on the right again. She has a charming face. She is beautiful but not charming. She is just like a rose blooming proudly under the scorching sun. It is dazzling and touching.
Just as Wei Xiaofeng was fascinated and confused, Xiaoru asked: "Brother, are you Captain Wei?"
Wei Xiaofeng seemed to be talking in a dream. He replied in a daze: "That's right. This captain is Wei Xiaofeng."
Yumei said: "Captain Wei, please sit down."
Wei Xiaofeng finally calmed down and found a suitable seat to sit down.
Xiaoru poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wei Xiaofeng: "Captain Wei, please use the tea."
Wei Xiaofeng took a sip in confusion: "Cherry. Please introduce the two girls."
Yumei rushed ahead of Yingying and spoke first: "Captain Wei. We are both from the same village. My name is Yangmei."
Xiaoru said: "Brother Wei, the younger sister's name is Yang Ruhan."
Wei Xiaofeng smiled brightly and stared at Yumei: "Sister, there is something I shouldn't ask. You two look dignified and upright. You don't look like poor people in your clothes. Why do you have to do such a job?"
Cherry said: "Brother Wei, your back hurts when you stand and talk. Sister Yangmei's family of six depends on an acre of poor land to survive. Dad is sick and has no money to treat him. He can't just lie in bed and wait to die."
Little Cherry went on to say: "Sister Ruhan is pitiful. Because her parents can't pay the rent, the creditors have to force her to be a concubine. Even though she is dressed like a human being these days, those are all new clothes made by Cherry. .”
Wei Xiaofeng believed in Cherry's words and nodded three times in a row.
Little Cherry lost no time and simply said: "Brother Wei, you have seen everyone and made it very clear. If you are satisfied, just settle the banquet."
Wei Xiaofeng smiled embarrassedly: "Don't get me wrong, two girls. At six o'clock tonight, Captain Ando will hold a joint meeting to hear the investigation report on Huang San's disappearance. Let's move the banquet to tomorrow."
Yumei was worried about the long nights and many dreams, so she said: "Captain Wei, before you arrive, Yingtao has booked a restaurant at Xiangmanlou. Besides, the nights are long this season, so it's not too late to break up and go to the banquet."
Sure enough, he couldn't stand Yumei's instigation. Wei Xiaofeng promised like an oath that he would lead his brothers to Xiangmanlou even at three o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Yingtao coughed dryly and suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Wei. Yingtao please try to be popular. This matter can only be known to you and me. If word gets to Zuichunlou, my sister can't eat and has to walk around. In order to avoid suspicion, Yingtao will not attend the evening." banquet. I will leave all the occasions to you."
Wei Xiaofeng enjoyed it and agreed wholeheartedly.
Yumei then said: "Captain Wei, since you are willing to join us, please report the number of people so that we can have an idea. Let's go to Xiangmanlou to prepare."
Wei Xiaofeng counted for a long time. Although he did not give an accurate number, he ensured that there would be at least twenty people.

Since Yumei and Xiaoru did not listen to dissuasion and had already set up the stage, Shanzi was holding his breath but had been working hard to perform the play well.
Taking the opportunity to go to Xiangmanlou for dinner, Shanzi first scanned the hall on the first floor. Then he opened the back window from the Plum Blossom Hall on the second floor and carefully inspected the terrain behind the window.
After dinner, returning to his mother's house, Shanzi held a plenary meeting of the anti-rape team and announced the following decisions.
Since they have been in and out of Xiangmanlou continuously in recent days, the anti-rape team has left an impression on the hotel staff. They must change their original image by changing their dressing style and purchase high-end clothing.
The banquet is in progress. Yumei and Xiaoru must find a way to evacuate in advance. Yu Xiangmanlou is outside the building to contain reinforcements who may arrive in advance. At the same time, they are responsible for picking up Persimmon and Yanni.
No outsiders are allowed to dine in the restaurant on the second floor to avoid going downstairs with the plainclothes team at the same time, which could lead to accidental killing.
Because the enemy is outnumbered, the assassination mission on the second floor is the most difficult. Shanzi and Shizi are responsible for it. Xiao Zhang is from the task force. He is highly skilled in martial arts. He and Yanni blockade the downstairs.
Shanzi particularly emphasized that Xiangmanlou is less than three miles away from the Japanese base camp. After hearing the gunshots, it only took three minutes at most for the motorcycle team to gather to the scene. Once the battle started, the enemy must be eliminated quickly with intensive firepower and strive to end within two minutes. fighting.
After listening to Shanzi's plan, Persimmon first suggested that instead of launching an attack when the plainclothes team went downstairs, it would be better to block them in the restaurant and beat the dogs behind closed doors.
Shanzi said that the restaurant space is narrow. Only one person can rush in at the first time. The firepower is relatively single, leaving room for the opponent to fight back. Moreover, there are obstacles such as dining tables and chairs. Once the enemy gets under the table, he will definitely take the opportunity to resist. poses a threat to our safety.
Xiaoru said: "Captain, I have good marksmanship. Please stay on the second floor. Replace Platoon Leader Wang. Cooperate with Yumei to be responsible for containment and response."
Shanzi glanced at Xiaoru coldly and then said: "The second floor requires more than just marksmanship. When retreating, you have to jump out of the back window. Do you dare?"
Xiao Ru smiled disdainfully: "Captain Wang. Ru Han has jumped from the second floor to the third floor countless times. He only broke his left leg when he challenged the fourth floor. Do you believe it?"
Yumei said: "No matter whether others believe it or not, I believe it anyway. I agree to Xiaoru's request."
Shanzi stared blankly and said nothing, acquiescing to Yumei's promise.
Yumei then asked: "Zikai, there is one more thing you should make clear. There are six restaurants on the second floor. How can we make these restaurants free of outsiders?"
Shanzi said: "You go to the store to buy clothes. I'll go find Bao Yulian and ask Bao Yulian to come forward and get the money."
In the end, Shanzi told Shizi to return to the Haoke Hotel immediately when he came back from the store so that Chuntao could contact Wei Xiaofeng in time when something unexpected happened.
…
Xiangman Building faces south and faces north. It is a brick structure with a double-story area of no more than 400 square meters. It was a hotel run by a wealthy businessman. Although the area was small, it was considered a luxury building at the time.
Walking into the Xiangmanlou lobby, there is a rectangular counter on the east side. There is a shelf inside the counter, where tobacco, alcohol and other items are placed.
The stairs leading to the second floor are close to the north wall. Most of the space south of the stairs is filled with tables and chairs. It looks orderly and neat.
At that time, the building was empty. A young man in uniform appeared in front of the counter. On the pretext of a class reunion, he asked if there was a restaurant on the second floor that could be booked.
The store manager said that the Orchid Hall and Chrysanthemum Hall are reserved for the plainclothes team. The Plum Blossom Hall is also reserved by customers. In addition, other restaurants can be chosen at will.
After listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, the young man booked all the remaining restaurants.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon. As expected, Yingying came to the Haoke Hotel and told Shizi that there were eighteen people attending the banquet, including Wei Xiaofeng, and the time was no more than nine o'clock.
Little Cherry added that Wei Xiaofeng had specially asked the two sisters to dress up beautifully so as to cheer up the brothers and give them a feast for the eyes.
Send away the cherries and persimmons and rush to Aunt Ma’s house.
After listening to the message from Shizi, Shanzi instructed Shizi not to leave the hotel without permission before eight o'clock. If anything happens during this period, he should go to Xiangmanlou to report it.

At dinner time, the building is full of fragrance, brightly lit, and crowded.
Xiao Zhang was wearing a cotton robe and a top hat. Yanni was dressed in plain clothes and had a scarf on her head. A man and a woman were sitting face to face at the dining table next to the entrance to the stairs.
What is different from Xiao Zhang is that Shanzi is in a suit and leather shoes and wearing a gray peaked cap. He walks up to the second floor alone and sits alone in the Plum Blossom Hall.
Another half hour later, Yumei and Xiaoru walked side by side into Xiangman Building.
At this time, it looked like Yumei and Xiaoru each had scarves wrapped around their cheeks. Only the area above the cheekbones was visible. The colors of the scarves were white and red respectively.
As soon as I saw two pretty women in well-dressed clothes walking into the hall, the shopkeeper personally went to greet her and asked Yumei where to sit. Yumei said as she walked, "Orchid Hall."
Just as she approached the entrance of the stairs, Yumei turned around and returned. She told the shopkeeper that she would serve all the food and wine in the Orchid Hall and Chrysanthemum Hall at once before eight o'clock.
The reason why Yumei made this arrangement was to avoid recognizing her and Xiaoru's true identities when delivering food back and forth.
Climb up to the second floor. The lanterns hanging on the ceiling of the corridor are bright red and bright. Under the lanterns, young men and women in twos and threes are chatting and laughing, leisurely and at ease.
Yumei knew that these young men and women were all from Kaiyuan Middle School. It was Shanzi who initiated them through Bao Yulian.
Walking into the Orchid Hall, I saw four red wax candles lit on the candlestick in the middle of the dining table. Under the candlelight, Yumei's expression suddenly became serious.
Time passed eight o'clock quietly in the flickering candlelight. Yumei's heart became more and more uneasy.
After being depressed for a while, Yumei raised her head with difficulty: "Xiaoru, my heart is always beating. What if these animals move around?"
Xiaoru said: "I'm not afraid of dirty pig's trotters through my clothes. I can only advise myself to think openly."
When she heard this, Yumei felt like crying.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door.
As footsteps approached, Wei Xiaofeng was the first to burst into the restaurant.
With Yumei's courtesy, Wei Xiaofeng sat down from the host's seat.
Under Wei Xiaofeng's instruction, Yumei and Xiaoru sat on either side of Wei Xiaofeng, one on the right and the other on the left.
After some introduction, Wei Xiaofeng asked Yumei where she lived.
Yumei said, I’m new here, so I’m staying at the Haoke Hotel temporarily.
While they were talking, the two plainclothes team members began to pour the wine.
When it was Yumei's turn to pour wine, Yumei said no and pressed the wine glass under her palm.
Xiaoru used the excuse that she never drank wine and refused to pour the wine by holding the wine glass upside down.
When Wei Xiaofeng saw this, he laughed and said, "A woman who doesn't drink is truly a pure woman."
After three glasses of wine, Wei Xiaofeng led Yumei and Xiaoru to the Chrysanthemum Hall for a toast.
Returning to the Orchid Hall, Wei Xiaofeng began to publish the keywords..
Starting tonight, the two girls belong to him personally. They are not allowed to do private work within thirty days. They can only be opened to the public after the expiration of the period.
As soon as Wei Xiaofeng finished speaking, the captain sitting next to Yumei took the lead in cheering: "Brothers, congratulations to Captain Wei on his honeymoon. Let's raise a toast."
The captain sitting next to Xiao Ru continued: "Captain Wei, please kiss the two girls."
Hearing such filthy words, Yumei was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
Wei Xiaofeng really put down his wine glass. He suddenly grabbed Yumei's hand.
Yumei felt as if she had been grabbed by an eagle's claws. She felt ashamed, angry and timid. She pulled back her hand in embarrassment and said, "Captain Wei, this food is already cold. Hurry up and drink."
Wei Xiaofeng was in a state of lust and lust. After hugging him, he was about to kiss. However, Yumei picked up the wine glass and blocked his protruding mouth.
Xiaoru said: "Brother Wei, it seems that you are also a decent person. You don't want to lose face on the occasion. Let's eat and drink well. Don't let so much food and wine sit around."
After listening to Xiaoru's advice, Wei Xiaofeng took the wine glass. After drinking it, he cursed angrily: "What the hell are you doing standing around? Guess the game when it's time to guess the game. Give the order when you need to do it. Drink quickly and leave. Don't delay me. Good thing."
After Wei Xiaofeng said this, the restaurant quickly erupted into a commotion of guessing.
While the plainclothes dog was giving orders with punches, Yumei walked out of the restaurant alone on the pretext of getting some air to relieve her boredom.
At this time, the lanterns in the corridor became brighter and brighter in the night, reflecting the crystal clear and desolate tears of Yumei.
In her hazy vision, Yumei vaguely noticed that at the east end of the corridor, a young man and woman were hiding under the corner and embracing each other and kissing passionately.
This pair of lovers are also students of Kaiyuan Middle School. They are responsible for monitoring the movements of plainclothes dogs. The key lies in whether Xiao Zhang and Yanni downstairs can launch an attack in time.
Touching the scene, Yumei suddenly had a thought. She really wanted to throw herself into Shanzi's arms and cry loudly.
