Chapter 598 The henpecked Mr. Cheng (please vote for me)
.<
Did Xiaobao beat her classmate Xiaoming again?
In Tang Xiaoye's impression, Xiaobao beating Xiaoming has become a daily activity.
Hearing Bai Ruolan mention Xiao Ming who was often beaten by Xiaobao, Tang Xiaoye's heart moved.
The organization has found out that Lu Xiaoming's father, Lu Qixiang, is a Japanese spy.
She wanted to remind Bai Ruolan, but she was worried about revealing her identity.
In addition, considering her brother Cheng Qianfan's Zheng Zhi attitude toward Japan, Tang Xiaoye even had to wonder whether Cheng Qianfan had known about this for a long time. Or, she suddenly wondered whether Xiaobao's beating of Xiao Ming was between Cheng Qianfan and the Japanese.
Some fancy way of signaling?
…
"Ximei." Xiaobao cheered and hugged Yang Ximei enthusiastically.
"Here we come." Cheng Qianfan came down from the stairs, smiled and nodded at Tang Xiaoye.
Then, he saw the gift box on the coffee table and couldn't help frowning, "What are you doing with anything when you come home to eat? I don't lack anything."
"I didn't buy it for you, Brother Qianfan. I bought cosmetics for my sister-in-law." Tang Xiaoye glared at his brother and said.
"Look, I was so obedient when I was little, but now I dare to talk back." Cheng Qianfan smiled helplessly at Bai Ruolan.
"They are all grown up girls," Bai Ruolan said with a smile.
"Sir, Madam, can we serve dinner?" Cook Zhou Ru came over with an apron tied around her waist and asked.
"Eat." Mr. Cheng waved his hand.
after dinner.
The little maid Li Zi placed fruits, tea, melon seeds and snacks.
"Are you still working in the women's club?" Cheng Qianfan picked up a piece of honeydew melon, took a big bite, and asked.
"Yeah." Tang Xiaoye nodded while chewing melon seeds.
"What are you busy with now?" Cheng Qianfan's expression remained unchanged and he seemed to ask casually.
"The ladies of the club are concerned about people's livelihood and appeal to everyone to raise funds for rickshaw drivers. I am doing a survey on the living conditions of rickshaw drivers," Tang Xiaoye said.
Mou Liying specifically instructed her that as long as it did not involve organizational secrets, there was no need to hide things from Cheng Qianfan that could be known with just a little inquiry.
Even if the issue of political orientation is not involved, if you have different opinions with Cheng Qianfan, you can argue and defend yourself.
Because this is in line with the impression that Tang Xiaoye has always left on Cheng Qianfan as a passionate young man.
In addition, the advantage of doing this is that on the one hand, it can make Cheng Qianfan think that although Tang Xiaoye's sister can talk back, she is willing to say anything, so she is still honest and obedient.
In addition, once something happens to Tang Xiaoye, because he has "reported" these surface work to his brother "Mr. Xiao Cheng", there is the possibility of using Cheng Qianfan to rescue him.
"Rickshaw driver?" Cheng Qianfan frowned, "Why do you care about those idiots? Your club is really busy."
"That's better than the ladies shouting about resisting Japan all day long." Tang Xiaoye snorted and said, "If that's the case, you'd have to trouble Brother Qianho to bail me out."
Previously, the Professional Women's Club was sealed by the French Concession patrol room because of its anti-Japanese propaganda, and Tang Xiaoye was also arrested. In the end, Cheng Qianfan called and released her.
"You still dare to talk back?" Cheng Qianfan glared at Tang Xiaoye, "I don't let you have contact with the rickshaw pullers, it's for your own good. You think those mud-legged guys are honest and honest, but in fact they are all cheating and abducting, and they have no good intentions.
"
The stubborn exploiting class!
Stubborn counter-revolutionary!
Tang Xiaoye looked at Cheng Qianfan and gave two explanations for his brother.
"But the rickshaw drivers I've interacted with are all simple and honest." Tang Xiaoye said unconvinced.
"Okay, let's eat honeydew." Bai Ruolan took two pieces of honeydew and handed them to the brother and sister. She gave her husband a look, "Don't always bully Xiaoye."
"Am I bullying her?" Cheng Qianfan pointed at his sister, "With her current temper, if I say one thing, she will contradict me a hundred times."
"I am also telling the truth. Brother Qianfan is wrong, why don't you let others refute you?" Tang Xiaoye pouted and said unconvinced.
"Hey." Cheng Qianfan sarcastically said, "Then tell me, I'd like to hear what the second young lady of the Fang family has to say."
"The rickshaw drivers are very enthusiastic. They even helped catch kidnappers today." Tang Xiaoye said angrily.
"Catch the kidnapper? What kind of kidnapper?" Bai Ruolan asked subconsciously.
She grew up in a nursing home, had a kind nature, and was a mother. The last thing she could bear to hear was such tragic things as being raped and kidnapped.
"It was said that two people from Fujian abducted a family's child in western Shanghai to visit relatives." Tang Xiaoye said, "The coachmen received the message and asked them to help find the abductor."
"Where did the kidnapper kidnap the child?" 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' frowned and asked seriously, "French Concession?"
"It doesn't seem to be the French Concession." Tang Xiaoye shook his head and thought, "It's Hongkou, it seems to be near the Licha Hotel."
Hongkou.
Near Licha Hotel.
Two kidnappers from Fujian?
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved.
With a calm expression on his face, he placed the melon rind on the coffee table, "It seems that the abducted child's family is either rich or noble."
"I don't know." Tang Xiaoye shook his head.
"It's better if it's not the Central District." Cheng Qianfan said casually.
"Sister-in-law, look at Brother Qianfan." Tang Xiaoye immediately expressed his dissatisfaction upon hearing this, "This is what a deputy chief inspector should say."
"Qianfan." Bai Ruolan looked at her husband worriedly, "The child has been lost. Parents should not be worried. If you can help, please help."
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan nodded, picked up a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and stood up, "I'll call and ask when I have time."
"You two sisters-in-law, let's chat. I have something else to do." He said, "I'm going out for a while."
"I was about to go out. If this second lady hadn't come over, I might not have had time to come back for dinner tonight." Cheng Qianfan glared at Tang Xiaoye and said angrily.
Tang Xiaoye rolled his eyes.
"You girl." Bai Ruolan knocked on Tang Xiaoye's head, "Don't always be angry with your brother, he doesn't know how much he cares about you."
"I know." Tang Xiaoye hugged Bai Ruolan's arm and said with a smile, "Then I also care about Brother Qianfan."
As she said that, she looked at Cheng Qianfan and asked with concern, "What are you doing out so late?"
"Mr. Wang's peace movement is in full swing, and there are always dissidents making trouble in the French Concession." Cheng Qianfan yawned, "No, Mr. Wang is going to convene the Sixth National Congress..."
At this point, Cheng Qianfan stopped talking in time, laughed, and waved his hand, "Anyway, it's an extraordinary period, so be safe."
"It's safe and sound." Tang Xiaoye said as he ate some honeydew melon, his ears eager to perk up to listen to this effortless information.
"Then be careful." Bai Ruolan warned.
"Random check checkpoints or something." Cheng Qianfan got up and went upstairs. Halfway there, he shouted, "Haozi, Haozi."
"Hey, hey." Haozi's voice came first before anyone arrived.
Since it was confirmed that Sheng Shuyu would come to Shanghai to cooperate with him in the task of punishing Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu, Cheng Qianfan ordered Haozi to live in the Cheng Mansion in the name of strengthening protection work, just for emergencies.
"Prepare the car and do routine checks." Cheng Qianfan said, "I'll go up and change clothes."
"Okay, Brother Fan." Li Hao felt awe-struck when he heard 'routine inspection'.
Cheng Qianfan stopped and seemed to have remembered something. He turned around and said to Haozi, "Xiaoye said that the rickshaw driver is looking for two kidnappers from Fujian. Please call and ask if they have been caught."
"yes."
…
study.
Cheng Qianfan first locked the door.
He quickly opened the safe.
Picking up a well-maintained, almost 90% new Mauser pistol, Cheng Qianfan hesitated for a moment, put the gun back, and picked up an old gun with the gun number rubbed off.
After quickly checking the pistol, from the magazine to the firing pin, and confirming that everything was normal, Cheng Qianfan put the pistol into his briefcase and took out two bridge clips filled with bullets.
He took two German-made M4 grenades and put them in his briefcase.
After doing all this and locking the safe, Cheng Qianfan opened the drawer, picked up a cigarette that he never smoked in front of outsiders and put it in his briefcase.
After going downstairs and saying hello to Bai Ruolan and Tang Xiaoye, he strode towards the yard.
"Come back early." Bai Ruolan's eyes paused for a moment on the briefcase her husband was carrying, and she said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan waved his hand and bent down to get into the car.
Li Hao stepped on the accelerator, walked out of the courtyard, turned the steering wheel to the left, and the car disappeared into the night.
"Brother Qianfan doesn't want to bring more bodyguards," Tang Xiaoye said.
"There is a police checkpoint at the street corner. I guess he was just showing off and went directly to Xue Huali Road." Bai Ruolan said, "It's close anyway."
"Oh." Tang Xiaoye nodded.
This is a new discovery. It seems that it is precisely because of the short distance from Lafayette Road to Xue Huali Road that Cheng Qianfan would be careless and travel without bodyguards or vehicles.
What she was thinking was that if the organization decided to take action against the traitor Cheng Qianfan, then the short journey from Lafayette Road to Xue Huali Road might be a rare opportunity to catch the enemy off guard.
Although she wasn't sure if she would be able to be so cruel if such a day came, she couldn't help but think like this -
She learned from Mou Liying that Director Luo Yannian of the Enemy Industry Department had long ago suggested that the organization take action against Cheng Qianfan.
…
"What did you find out?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I called home, and Ah-Dai went out to inquire about the news." Li Hao said, and he thought for a while, "Brother Fan, isn't there someone under the little Taoist priest at the car dealership?"
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "It's not appropriate."
What he needs now is to quickly grasp the situation.
The activity scope of the rickshaw pullers under the little Taoist priest is in the Xiafei District of the French Concession, not in the Hongkou District. If they venture to inquire about things in the Hongkou District, they will easily attract attention.
If it was not an urgent inquiry for information, but if the Taoist priest's subordinates were just chatting and bragging and doing so slowly without leaving any trace, then there would be no such worries.
The most important thing is that the second action group of the little Taoist priest is to participate in the sanctions against Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu. Unless it is really necessary, they must not act rashly.
Another point is that little guys like Dumb and Pidan who were born as beggars are even more inconspicuous when they inquire about information.
The most important thing is that even though Ah-Dai is young, he is trustworthy!
'Mr. Xiao Cheng' first inspected the checkpoint at the intersection of Lafayette Road, threw out a few packs of cigarettes, and kindly encouraged his subordinates to cheer up and maintain peace.
Then, everything went as Bai Ruolan expected, and the vehicle drove directly to the central patrol room at No. 22 Xue Huali Road.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" made the night inspection, and everyone in the patrol room was in high spirits.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" is quite satisfied with the hard-working spirit of his subordinates.
He used his own money to order the restaurant to prepare some food and wine to reward his men.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’, who was in a good mood, also drank a few more drinks with his men.
"Brother Fan, my sister-in-law has repeatedly asked you not to drink." Li Hao looked at the slightly tipsy Brother Fan and said with an expression on his face.
"Can she still control me?" 'Ms. Xiao Cheng' looked stern, and then said, "I'll go to your place to rest tonight."
All the subordinates covered their mouths and snickered.
"You're laughing your ass off." Cheng Qianfan pointed at his men and cursed. In the end, he was happy, "I'm not afraid of your sister-in-law..."
"Know."
"That's who Brother Fan is."
Cheng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction, burped and turned to leave.
Suddenly, a laugh came from behind.
Cheng Qianfan turned around and pointed at his subordinates with an angry expression. Everyone looked serious.
'Mr. Xiao Cheng' then gave up and snorted coldly, went out and got into the car.
As the car drove away from the patrol room, cheerful laughter immediately rang out in the arresting hall.
Mr. Xiao Cheng is a man of great beauty and has many lovers. Newspapers such as "Jing Bao" are the most enthusiastic about the sexy news about him. However, at home, Mr. Xiao Cheng is a little henpecked. This is already reserved for after-dinner activities in the patrol room.
topic.
…
Li Hao's home.
After reporting what he had learned, Ah-Dai picked up the enamel jar and drank several sips of water in a row.
"Dumb, are you sure you heard them say they were looking for someone with a Fujian accent or a Hunan accent?"
"Yes, Brother Fan." Ah-Dai said, "At first I said I was looking for two people from Fujian, but soon I said I made a mistake. They were one from Fujian and one with a Hunan accent."
Sheng Shuyu is from Xiangtan, Hunan.
As for the person mentioned by Uncle Sheng Yu, Cheng Qianfan was not sure whether he was from Fujian.
According to what Dui said, the order from the dealer to the rickshaw driver to find someone came from the Qinggang.
The Qing Gang even pointed out that the man with a Fujian accent would ask the coachmen where to buy Huamei cigarettes.
This is interesting.
Not to mention that the Qing Gang helped find the kidnapper with great fanfare, but it is not something that ordinary people can do if they can force so many rickshaw drivers to help find the kidnapper with just one order!
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, "Do you know who is speaking from the Qing Gang?"
"I heard it's Mr. Ji." Dumb said.
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, he almost immediately confirmed in his heart that this was not the Qing Gang looking for some kidnapper, but No. 76 searching for Sheng Shuyu!
Duan took another sip of water and said in an uncertain tone, "I also heard that Ah Cai from Xiangu Lane wanted to receive the reward, lied and reported it, and was severely beaten. I heard that Ah Cai's mother-in-law said
He said, I'm just unlucky, the two kidnappers have been found over there."
Oops!
Cheng Qianfan knew something was wrong.
He got up and came to the yard, and Li Hao followed him out immediately.
"Put on some makeup, go out and find a secluded phone booth, and use code to call safe house No. 4." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice and said with a serious expression, "Order the Operations Team 2 to rush to Petain District to meet me immediately."
"Where to meet?" Haozi asked subconsciously.
"I'll take the first step." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "Wherever the gun is fired, go."
He didn't know the specific whereabouts of Sheng Shuyu, but he knew that Sheng Shuyu was in Beitang District.
Moreover, he is certain of one thing:
Sheng Shuyu will never be captured without mercy!
After saying that, he said to Haozi with a serious expression, "After making the call, you come back immediately. I am resting here when I am drunk, and you have been taking care of me."
