Cheng Qianfan took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out another cigarette, and lit it himself.
He took two deep puffs, and the flames of the tobacco turned red.
Cheng Qianfan remembered that he immediately concluded that Gu Xinrui had learned tennis from Lin Bei as his teacher. Gu Xinrui was extremely surprised.
To be precise, he should have captured Gu Xinrui's only emotion of surprise and nothing else.
However, after he analyzed it one by one and explained why he judged that Gu Xinrui's tennis teacher was Lin Bei, Gu Xinrui's smile hid the flicker of fear.
That's right, it's just fear.
This is how top agents capture the psychological reactions of people around them.
Of course, a prerequisite for this is that the person being noticed is not a good person. If it were Cheng Qianfan, even if he was jealous, he could still keep his face secret and not be noticed by the other party.
Or, objectively speaking, it's not that Gu Xinrui is not good enough, it's just that the Cheng Qianfan he faces is too good.
Closer to home, why is Gu Xinrui afraid?
What is he afraid of?
Lin Bei is his tennis teacher, so there is obviously no problem in this matter.
Otherwise, when he first named Lin Bei, Gu Xinrui's reaction must have been filled with fear and uneasiness in addition to surprise.
So, why did I become more worried later?
Cheng Qianfan shook his fingers and the cigarette ashes fell.
What Gu Xinrui was afraid of was not that he singled out Lin Bei, but his analysis of Lin Bei as his tennis teacher.
To be precise, Gu Xinrui was afraid of his careful analysis.
Why be afraid?
Gu Xinrui was hiding something in his heart and was worried that he would find out.
Under normal circumstances, a person will subconsciously be afraid when there is the most pressing situation that can affect him/herself.
Logically speaking, there is no need for Gu Xinrui to be afraid of Cheng Qianfan.
Although the two are good friends, they don't have much interaction.
In this case, this kind of subconscious fear occurs more when you are doing some kind of dangerous action and you don't want to be detected.
So, what is the action?
Gu Xinrui wants to transport this batch of materials via Jiujiu Trading's transportation line?
Or someone who delivers supplies?
Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette butt at his feet, stepped forward and crushed it with his toes.
Cheng Qianfan has no way of knowing whether Gu Xinrui is a comrade of our party, or whether this batch of supplies or the people who transported them are related to our party.
However, there is one point where he has a greater tendency:
There is something wrong with Gu Xinrui.
The possibility that he had previously suspected that Gu Xinrui was being taken advantage of and kept in the dark was rapidly decreasing.
No matter which force is behind this incident, Gu Xinrui is problematic, at least he is an insider.
Cheng Qianfan chuckled and stretched.
This Young Master Gu has been hiding very well all this time, and it almost blinded him.
…
After leaving the tennis court, Gu Xinrui drove his car and first went to a coffee bakery owned by an Austrian Jew.
He ordered a coffee, a croissant, and a smoked sausage, and enjoyed them alone.
About every quarter of an hour, Gu Xinrui would subconsciously look at the time on his watch.
After about the third time he raised his wrist to check the time, he finished his meal quickly but gracefully and left the coffee and bakery through the back door.
Instead of driving his car, he left on foot.
About twenty minutes later, Gu Xinrui arrived at the house at No. 15 West Ehams Road.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door opened.
A woman with spinach-like curly hair stuck her head out, their eyes met, and Gu Xinrui stepped in. The woman took a cautious look outside, then closed the door and bolted it.
"It's on time this time." The woman nodded at Gu Xinrui, picked up the Fairy brand cigarette on the table, smoked a cigarette and held it in her mouth. She lit a match and lit the cigarette.
Gu Xinrui was not asked whether he smoked.
Seeing the way the woman was puffing and the bright lipstick on her lips, Gu Xinrui frowned slightly. He didn't really like the new traffic officer assigned to him by the organization.
"I said last time, don't use this kind of cheap lipstick." Gu Xinrui said, "This lipstick doesn't match the beautiful cheongsam you are wearing."
The cheongsam woman glanced at Gu Xinrui and said, "I have no money."
Gu Xinrui took out his wallet, took some banknotes and handed them over, "I'll lend them to you."
The cheongsam woman was unhappy, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and did not accept the banknotes handed over by the other party.
Gu Xinrui gently placed the banknotes on the table.
"How is the situation?" The cheongsam woman flicked the ashes of her cigarette and asked, "Does Cheng Qianfan agree to help?"
"I agreed." Gu Xinrui nodded, "Based on my relationship with him, this is not a big deal. He has no reason to refuse."
"Very good." The cheongsam woman nodded happily, "This time is just the beginning. As we gradually become familiar with this trade route and the people who trade for a long time, we can be bolder."
"I have a bad feeling." Gu Xinrui said.
"What's wrong?" the cheongsam woman asked immediately.
"Cheng Qianfan is more powerful than we imagined." Gu Xinrui said, "In other words, all of us were attracted by this person's greed for money and lust, and did not carefully analyze and study this person."
He looked at the woman in front of him, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you will know that at Cheng Qianfan's age, it only took him four years to climb from an ordinary patrol officer to the position of deputy chief inspector of the central patrol room.
Excellence, ability, skill, background, and mind are all indispensable.”
"What happened?" The cheongsam woman frowned, "What do you want to say?"
Gu Xinrui recounted the incident where Cheng Qianfan analyzed and determined that his tennis teacher in Tianjin was Lin Bei just because of one or two words from him.
"Cheng Qianfan is very cunning. If we don't pay attention, we may be suspected by him," Gu Xinrui said.
"When did you go to Tianjin?" The cheongsam woman immediately looked wary, "If I remember correctly, the organization arranged for you to go to Shandong."
"You doubt me?" Gu Xinrui looked at the other party.
The cheongsam woman just sneered.
"Of course I made it up." Gu Xinrui frowned and said, "My tennis skills have made great progress, so I naturally have to find a reasonable reason."
He went to Shandong this time to conduct anti-Japanese united front work with an important person. This person had some friendship with Gu Xinrui's uncle and was fond of playing tennis. In order to get to know this person better, Gu Xinrui spent a lot of time accompanying this person on the tennis court.
He was busy, so his tennis skills improved by leaps and bounds.
He knew that Cheng Qianfan would be surprised by the improvement of his tennis skills, so he had already thought of a plan to deal with it.
That is to pretend that he is a disciple of Lin Bei.
Lin Beiyuan was in Tianjin. As long as there was no suspicion on his side, Cheng Qianfan would naturally not think of sending someone to find Lin Beiyuan who was far away in Tianjin to question the matter.
As for why he chose Lin Bei as his 'teacher', Gu Xinrui also thought carefully about it, and the reasons were as analyzed by Cheng Qianfan.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan's analysis was more detailed and comprehensive than what he had considered before.
Because of this, Cheng Qianfan came up with an analysis that was consistent with his careful thinking in just a few words, which made Gu Xinrui even more afraid.
He realized that Cheng Qianfan was so alert and alert, and he couldn't help but feel less worried and alert.
After listening to Gu Xinrui's story, the cheongsam woman did not think that the other party was making a fuss over a trivial matter.
She frowned and thought for a moment, "It seems like we really need to be careful."
After glancing at Gu Xinrui, she continued, "As you said, Cheng Qianfan can climb from a patrol officer to the position of deputy chief inspector. This kind of person is absolutely extraordinary."
"Fortunately, the organization only arranged for us to have a trial trip this time." Gu Xinrui pondered for a moment and said, "Even if Cheng Qianfan or other enemies are suspicious, they at most think that we are secretly reselling controlled supplies. This kind of thing
It’s so common that we wouldn’t be associated with the same organization.”
"In short, this also reminds us." The cheongsam woman nodded, "We can't underestimate any enemy. We have no chance to fail and try again."
"Have the classmates made corresponding arrangements?" Gu Xinrui asked, "Although the possibility of Cheng Qianfan sending someone to investigate her is very low, we must prepare for a rainy day."
Classmate Guan is the female student he said to Cheng Qianfan that he ‘fell in love at first sight’.
Since he mentioned it to Cheng Qianfan, the female classmate he was obsessed with and the business of the female classmate's family must exist.
However, this mission was very urgent and the time was very tight. They could only 'get on the line' with Cheng Qianfan while making up for the shortcomings urgently.
"It's arranged." The cheongsam woman nodded, "Don't worry, Ms. Guan is a very good activist who joins the party. She is very smart."
Hearing this, Gu Xinrui nodded and said nothing more.
"One more thing, Minister Xiong asked me to inform you." The cheongsam woman suddenly said.
She looked at Gu Xinrui, "Once this action plan is implemented, you have now told Cheng Qianfan that you are pursuing Classmate Guan, so you are not allowed to have any more contact with Comrade Tang Xiaoye in the short term."
"I know." Gu Xinrui smiled bitterly and nodded.
"This point must arouse enough vigilance." The cheongsam woman said, "Tang Xiaoye's family is a family friend of the Cheng family. Your contact with Tang Xiaoye may spread rumors to Cheng Qianfan's ears, which will affect your 'pursuit'
Taking care of classmates will also arouse Cheng Qianfan's suspicion."
She emphasized the word 'pursuit' with a teasing smile, "I heard that Cheng Qianfan actually loves Tang Xiaoye very much. If he knew that you had two things to do, I'm afraid he wouldn't
I will spare you lightly."
"I will pay attention." Gu Xinrui shook his head helplessly, and then he showed a serious expression, "I heard that a patrolman died in the patrol room. Is this patrolman one of ours?"
"Don't ask about irrelevant things." The cheongsam woman frowned and said.
Although he didn't hear the answer, Gu Xinrui already got the answer in his heart.
"Over the years, so many comrades have been killed by Cheng Qianfan and disappeared after his arrest. This person is an executioner who hates the red." Gu Xinrui said sadly and angrily, "Why hasn't the organization taken action to get rid of this person?"
"This is your good friend." The cheongsam woman glanced at him.
Gu Xinrui sneered and sighed, "You can't imagine how hard it is for me to make friends with such an executioner who has killed many of our comrades and call him brother."
The two of them further analyzed and improved the action plan of using Jiujiu Trading’s transportation line to ‘explore the path’.
After Gu Xinrui left, the cheongsam woman began to get busy.
She brushes her teeth quickly.
I changed out of the bright cheongsam again.
Changed into normal clothes.
He took off the hair cover from his head.
After checking carefully in the mirror.
The woman came to the kitchen, took a few meat buns from the steamer, packed them in an aluminum lunch box, put the lunch box into a cloth bag, left through the back door with the cloth bag, and hurried away.
…
At the entrance of Cheng Mansion.
Li Hao honked the horn.
Soon a servant ran out. He first took a look at the car and the license plate, and then saw Li Hao emerging from the passenger seat. He quickly opened the courtyard door and let the car in.
Cheng Qianfan was about to get off the car.
"Brother Fan." Li Hao pointed at his neck and whispered.
Cheng Qianfan came to the rearview mirror, took a closer look, and saw the lipstick mark on his neck.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped it twice, "Is there anything else?" he asked.
"You can't tell without looking carefully," Haozi said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, carrying a briefcase in his left hand and a brown paper bag in his right hand, and walked towards the living room.
"Master, it's time to get off work." Mother Lu took the brown paper bag from Cheng Qianfan's hand without touching the briefcase.
"Where's Xiaobao?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Miss Gu is accompanying the young master upstairs," Mother Lu said.
After saying that, Mother Lu glanced at the brown paper bag, smiled and said, "Master is so kind to my aunt."
Yesterday, Xiaobao said he wanted to eat fried fruit. Mother Lu said she would make it for Miss Bao to eat, so the master said no and brought it back from outside.
"Where's my wife?" Cheng Qianfan strolled up to the second floor and asked casually.
"My wife is upstairs," Mother Lu said. "My wife went shopping in the afternoon and said she was a little tired when she came back."
"Have you warmed the bird's nest for your wife?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"It's been kept warm," Mother Lu said.
Cheng Qianfan went up to the second floor and heard Xiaozhizhi's shouting and Xiaobao's chirping voice.
He slowed down and came to the door of the room.
"Xiao Zhizhi, tell me." Xiao Bao was lying on the carpet, and Xiao Zhizhi was sitting on the carpet, and they stared at each other with big eyes.
"Human." Xiaobao pointed to himself and then to Xiaozhizhi.
"Wow wow wow." Xiao Zhizhi kicked her legs and moaned.
