When talking about Guo Xuwen, Tan Yue'an always thinks of some things he did in the army.
In the past, the old commander Tan Yishan threw him into the army for training and asked him to form brothers who would follow him.
As each warlord started fighting for territory, wars continued in various places, many people died, and this was the only one left among his own brothers.
After Tan Yishan's death, General Guo Xuwen helped him handle various internal affairs of the military and pacified all forces in the army, becoming his indispensable right-hand man.
Fortunately, he has been loyal and saved himself a lot of trouble.
But when it comes to Mu Fu's matter, Tan Yue'an has his own ideas.
He didn't want Mu Fu to be tortured as a prisoner at any time, and he didn't want his relationship with the Mu family to get further and further away.
He himself strongly disagreed with the orders issued by the Jiankang government after the failure of the Great Revolution.
Although he is now subordinate to the government, it is obviously much better to purge the great powers externally than to suppress political opponents internally.
But Adjutant Guo doesn't think so. He only knows how to investigate new people arriving in Shanghai every day. He will not give up investigating other people until the suspicion is eliminated.
It seemed that it was time to have a talk with him, otherwise the two would have different political views, leading to further alienation from each other. This was really not something he wanted to see.
After the barbecue, Mu Fu never asked where the people they had arrested recently were.
Adjutant Guo is still trying to find out information about himself, which proves that he has not given up his doubts about himself.
Although this is his own responsibility, as long as Mu Fu takes the initiative to ask about this matter at this time, I believe Guo Xuwen will immediately label herself as a communist.
Mu Fu didn't want to complete his mission and be judged unscrupulously.
"Sure enough, the barbecue cooked by Adjutant Guo is delicious." She smiled bitterly.
"Miss, are you suspecting me? Next time you want to eat, just ask Adjutant Guo to bake it." Cai'er pouted and turned her head to the other side.
"You two little girls, the more you bicker, the closer you get." Tan Yue'an wiped his mouth and continued: "Where do you want to go this afternoon?"
"Commander Tan, aren't you going to handle official business?" Mu Fu reminded him, tilting his head.
"Speaking of this, I remembered it. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment in the afternoon. You can officially go to work tomorrow."
"That's fine." Mu Fu raised the corner of his mouth, wondering if he could find any clues about their arrest today.
Liu Limao bribed a young beggar and squatted at the door of the patrol room to wait to see if anyone named in the document would come out.
I went to the places where the captured comrades lived to check the strange things in the rooms and see if there were any extra silver coins.
With the hostile forces cracking down so hard, it is inevitable that some comrades with wavering thoughts will take a bad path.
After visiting various residences, it was already evening, and he still found no clues.
Liu Limao could only return to Mu's house in frustration, where Mu Fu was already sitting at home waiting.
She just browsed around the uses of various offices today, but she couldn't go in to look up information at all, which made her very depressed.
Recalling his previous suspicion that Liu Limao was a hostile agent, Mu Fu sneaked into his room to check the information, but found nothing.
So, I could only sit in the living room and wait to test that person.
"What kind of wind is blowing today? My little sister is actually sitting in the living room reading the newspaper." Liu Limao guessed her intention at once.
I really didn't expect that the organization actually assigned the task to two people.
Maybe it’s because we are closer to the center of power, so we can better explore relationships.
But now I just want to hide my identity and can't have any more involvement with her.
"I thought I was going to take up my post tomorrow, so I took a quick look at the latest news." Mu Fu calmly put away the newspaper.
"So that's it." He thought to himself that the room he lived in should have been searched and no clues were found: "Then I will go back to the room."
"Where have you been today?" she shouted, looking at the person who was about to go back to his room.
"It's not the daily business that I need to handle, otherwise why would I go out?"
"A little beggar I often feed said that you recently asked him to beg at the door of the police station to see who would be released."
Damn it, how could I forget this? That little beggar belongs to Mu Fu.
He could only calmly stabilize his emotions: "Well, a friend of mine was arrested, so I need to smoothen the relationship and get him out. He misunderstood what I meant. I just wanted him to watch the comings and goings of the patrol room.
Anyone in uniform recognizes the person in charge, and I'm going to hand over some silver coins."
"Is that so?" Mu Fu paused thoughtfully: "Then why did you go to Xiafei Road again?"
"You sent someone to follow me?" Liu Limao decided not to waste time acting with her. There was no progress at all today, and he still had to go back to the room to sort out the situation.
"Big brother knows what I have to do every day and has not done anything to regret the Mu family. This is the first time. Although you are my little sister, there is no guarantee that I will not be angry with you when I find you the second time.
."
After saying that, Liu Limao got up from the sofa and went to his room.
When did this girl become so clever?
He looked at the arrangement of items inside the room, and sighed more and more at how neatly this girl did things.
After checking everything, everything was returned to its original position, leaving no trace at all.
He fiddled with the porcelain basin for burning paper again. If he hadn't cleaned it every day as a habit, the dust in the basin would probably have been taken away for study.
This is simply the disadvantage of working with acquaintances. Mu Fu probably didn't find any relevant information at the Military and Political Office today, otherwise he wouldn't have searched for me in a hurry.
What I didn't expect was that he really looked like someone from the enemy camp? Why didn't he suspect that he was from his own camp?
Liu Limao couldn't help but rolled his eyes: Even if he didn't work for the organization, he would just stay at home and help his elder brother with his business.
He sat helplessly on the ground and leaned against the bed.
Mu Fu crumpled the newspaper into a ball fiercely: What on earth is this guy doing outside? If I find out that he is from a hostile element, he will be dead.
With my current strength, I can't ask them to let him go at any time.
She had no choice but to go back to the room to find Cai'er to find a solution.
Liu Limao felt that after she left the living room, he walked out again and looked towards the room where Mu Fu was.
At this time, Uncle De came out of the kitchen: "It's time to start dinner."
"I know, I'll call my brother."
At the dinner table, Mu Fu rolled his eyes at the person opposite him angrily, making Mu Jing look puzzled.
"Why did Amao offend you?"
"No, it's just that my eyes are uncomfortable." Mu Fu hurriedly covered up his behavior.
This guy could really make her angry. She ate her meal with a depressed look on her face, while Cai'er sat aside in silence.
Liu Limao's behavior today is indeed very suspicious, but the eldest young master has great trust in him. If we lose our composure, our identity will inevitably be exposed.
She could only signal Mu Fu to hold back his temper and stop getting angry in front of the eldest young master.
In this way, several people finished the meal with their own motives.
Instead, Liu Limao was pulled into the study by Mu Jing. After he closed the door, he asked about the doubts at the dinner table.
"Did you two have a fight?"
"No." His expression made Mu Jing even more confused.
"Then why did I hear Dongzi say that you almost had a quarrel in the living room? What happened when the little girl did that action just now?" Mu Jing was suspicious, these two guys must be hiding something from me.
"I'm teasing my little sister? What could happen?" When he heard someone snitching, he hurriedly put on a smile.
He might have made my eldest brother feel that the family is not harmonious, otherwise he would stay at home and stare at the two of us every day.
"Yeah?"
"Of course, what could we two quarrel about?" Liu Limao's playful smile once again reassured his eldest brother.
"Isn't it because of things in the Military and Administrative Office that she took out her anger on you? Otherwise..." The eldest brother's tentative retreat caused him to interrupt his speech.
"No, it's not easy to get to this point now. I don't allow anyone to give up. Brother, think about the days before you couldn't see Fu'er. You spent all day buying a lot of things in her room, but no one used them.
when……"
"Okay, I don't care. I'll go about my business with peace of mind. It's your two affairs. You can handle it yourself and I won't interfere."
"Yes, we can handle it ourselves." After he said that, he immediately left.
You still have to find an opportunity to reveal your identity to Mu Fu, otherwise you will be exposed in this matter sooner or later.
He returned to his room silently, and remembered that the organization said that he only needed to control this matter in the dark.
Is this really embarrassing? Now people suspect that I am a spy from the enemy camp.
Liu Limao was a little speechless, wondering how many spies she had deployed in Shanghai.
If his actions that day were tracked by her again, he would have to be exposed even if he didn't want to be exposed.
The next day, he contacted the middle-aged man in a long gown again through his unique contact information.
However, the reply given was to try not to reveal his identity while continuing to guide and direct the work of this task.
It was a terrible headache, and he couldn't help but press his temples.
There is only one way now, which is to start with the little beggar.
He drove again to the patrol house where the little beggar often hung out. After waiting for a long time, the beggar finally appeared.
"What's going on? According to past times, you should have been here begging."
"I was beaten up this morning. I went to get treatment for my injuries. I still owe the medical bills from the clinic." The little beggar reported his whereabouts nonchalantly.
"Ah? Who beat him?" Liu Limao was a little surprised, who would attack a beggar for no reason.
"It's one of those people you asked me to keep an eye on. I heard them say that those arrested on the 26th will be extradited to the police station. If you want to rob the prison, you must hurry up."
"I got it." Liu Limao then handed him a money bag: "You go and pay the medical bills first, and give the rest to your beggar brothers. The roads are not safe these days, so try not to go out begging.
Already."
"Thank you, boss." The little beggar happily took the money bag and ran away happily.
