"Look, Qianfan, you are still awesome. You can tell at a glance that it is German. Brother Lu, I don't understand anything." As he said that, General Lu turned the wheel, lit the lighter, helped Cheng Qianfan light the cigarette, and took advantage of the situation.
He stuffed the lighter into Cheng Qianfan's pocket.
Cheng Qianfan gestured to take it out.
"Qianfan, it's not right to look down on Brother Lu, it's not something valuable."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and ignored this.
The two chatted for a few more words. Before leaving, Cheng Qianfan took out an unopened box of Three Fortresses from his pocket and said, "I'll have a drink at Brother Lu's house another day. It's been a long time since I've eaten the food cooked by my sister-in-law."
"We agreed, your sister-in-law has been talking about you for a long time." Da Toulu happily took the cigarette.
The thing is done, this Xiao Cheng is really nostalgic.
Looking at Cheng Qianfan's walking back, the smile on Da Toulu's face disappeared and he looked thoughtful.
…
About a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Qianfan and He Guan went downstairs together, talking as they walked.
"Qianfan, if you have Naoshizi's sulfa in your hand, just give it to me and I'll bring it to Uncle Zhao." He Guan said, "How much is it? I'll give it to you based on the price when I get back. You still have to go to the hospital."
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?" Cheng Qianfan said impatiently, "How can you do business without talking to the buyer?"
He actually didn't want to follow He Guan, but this kid was like a candy.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan saw a familiar figure flash past, and it turned out to be Liu Bo who had taken sick leave.
Didn't Liu Bo take sick leave?
Why did he appear on Xue Huali Road?
"Qianfan, go to Guangci Hospital by yourself, I have something else to do."
Cheng Qianfan watched He Guan leave in a hurry after speaking. He was thoughtful, how could these two people be connected?
"Sir, please do me a favor and give me something to eat."
"You little red guy, get out of here."
"gentlemen--"
Cheng Qianfan heard the sound and went to look, and saw a tattered preserved egg pestering a man in a suit and leather shoes to beg for money. The man kicked the preserved egg to the ground with his leather shoe, and then went up to kick him again.
"Little beggar." Cheng Qianfan walked over, grabbed the preserved egg, and picked up the thin preserved egg like a cat.
"Let me go, I won't dare anymore." Pidan was frightened and cried with tears streaming down his nose.
"This little red guy should be hanged and beaten!" The man in a suit and leather shoes pointed at the captured little beggar and cursed.
"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?" Cheng Qianfan went up and slapped the man in the suit, "Get out!"
The man in a suit who had been slapped covered his face with an angry look on his face and wanted to come forward to argue. Cheng Qianfan stepped forward and slapped him again, pointing to the yard of the patrol room, "What? Do you want to come in as a guest?"
The man in the suit covered his face with his hands and walked away crying.
"You little red guy." Cheng Qianfan seemed to be grabbing Pi Dan's hair fiercely, but in fact he didn't use too much force. "Didn't I say you're not allowed to beg here?"
As he spoke, he turned sideways and asked quickly and quietly, "What happened?"
…
Pidan is young, has never read a book, looks timid, and trembles when he speaks, but in fact he has a bright mind.
In a few words, Pi Dan explained the matter clearly.
Cheng Qianfan immediately captured three pieces of information.
They learned from the manure worker Qiu Laosan that Ximei's mother had hanged herself, and Ximei was the only child in the family.
Qiu Laosan said that a group of people with guns were also asking about Xi Mei's home.
Li Hao stayed outside Pingjiang Village and arranged for Pi Dan to report the news, waiting for his next order.
Cheng Qianfan applauded Li Hao's cleverness in his heart. He realized that his previous arrangement of letting Pi Dan enter the slum area as a beggar was a bit ill-advised, and Li Hao's method of asking for information from the dung workers was very clever.
Regarding the group of people with guns, he immediately concluded that they were agents from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. They were also eyeing the younger sister and wanted to use her as bait to wait and see.
"Go back immediately and tell Haozi to let him come back." Cheng Qianfan made a decision immediately.
Now, Xi Mei's place in Pingjiang Village is a trap. Anyone who contacts or inquires about Xi Mei's family situation will be targeted. He cannot let Li Hao take risks and can only find another way.
"You little red guy, get out of here." Cheng Qianfan kicked the preserved egg, and the little beggar screamed and ran away as if running away.
Looking at the pointing people around him, Cheng Qianfan glared at him. Everyone looked away and quickly dispersed.
…
Cheng Qianfan's face darkened.
His heart was heavy.
He had faced more complicated situations before, but at this time, he felt like he was in a hurry.
That's because he didn't fight alone before. He had his own comrades and liaisons. He only needed to be responsible for delivering information. Unless it was urgent, he didn't need to do other things personally.
He Guan actually got involved with Liu Bo. With Liu Bo's cunning, a person with He Guan's temperament would definitely be played around.
He was worried that He Guan would be taken advantage of by Liu Bo.
Compared to He Guan here, things in the slum area are even more urgent.
Cheng Qianfan was worried that the Red Party would arrange for people to contact and rescue Ximei's family. No, he knew that the organization would definitely send people there. No one would be unmoved by the tragic incident that happened to Yang Damei, and the organization would not leave it alone.
He must find a way to send a message to the organization and inform him that there is a spy setting up a trap in Pingjiang Village.
However, he had just called Dr. Zhao Wenhua from Guangci Hospital in the patrol room and made an appointment to meet him in an hour.
Normally, he can call again and say that he has something to do and he won't be able to go.
However, he cannot do this.
He Guan knew about the visit to Zhao Wenhua.
Previously, it didn't matter if He Guan knew about it. We had an appointment, but there was no loophole in breaking the appointment due to something last minute.
However, since He Guan and Liu Bo are linked together, it is difficult to guarantee that He Guan, a big talker, will not mention this matter to Liu Bo afterwards.
When facing enemies, Cheng Qianfan was never afraid to treat them with the utmost vigilance.
A seemingly ordinary little thing will often become the trigger for him to be exposed in the future.
If he missed the appointment and didn't go to Guangci Hospital, he would have to lie and find an excuse. One lie requires countless lies to make up for it. As long as he is being targeted and probed, there is no way to explain it perfectly.
Cheng Qianfan deeply felt the difficulty of fighting alone. If he had not lost contact with the organization, he could quickly pass the information to his traffic officer, and he could go to Guangci Hospital as originally planned.
The most important thing is that according to organizational discipline, his most fundamental task at present is to hide himself and protect himself from being exposed.
In other words, he could not risk his own exposure by passing information to the Shanghai Red Party.
Even the slightest hint of potential exposure is not allowed.
The local Red Party in Shanghai has no horizontal connection with him, so he can ignore it. According to organizational discipline, he must ignore it even if it may endanger himself.
Yes, the most correct thing to do is to turn a blind eye to the trap in Pingjiang Village, ignore it, and watch his comrades fall into the trap.
This sounds cruel, but this is the cruel reality of cruel underground work.
Cheng Qianfan was extremely anxious. He even blamed and scolded He Guan and Fang Muheng in his heart. Strictly speaking, it was these two guys who caused the current predicament. He knew that they were good at heart and both were passionate young men.
.
But - so stupid!
He is not afraid of the insidiousness of his enemies, but he is afraid of the fools around him.
Yes, Cheng Qianfan felt that He Guan and Fang Muheng were idiots, and he was very angry.
