Fortunately, no one blocked them along the way, and the three of them quickly escaped from the hotel.
Ma Yuchao noticed that Pan Hai was very attentive and even removed the wooden boards on both sides of the cart before leaving.
Arriving at the house rented by Pan Hai in Ciyuli, Ma Yuchao met the other two team members, Yang Zheng and Li Yaodong.
The two of them were very happy to see the teacher and quickly served them tea.
"Xiao Pan, how did you know we were in danger?"
Ma Yuchao asked, holding a tea cup.
"The day before yesterday, Yang Zheng and I went to the riverside to play, and accidentally saw you coming out of the HSBC Hotel. We didn't think much about it at the time, because we were disciplined, so we didn't meet you.
I went to the riverside again this morning and found two cars going to the Huifeng Hotel. Eight people got out of the car, all with guys on their waists. I concluded that they were Agent 67. From this, I inferred that you may be in trouble.
.
So, I pretended to be a guest and entered the hotel. I happened to see you sitting in the cafe, and there were two spies next to you.
When you returned to your room, I followed you secretly, and sure enough I found that you were under enemy surveillance.
I was so anxious now that I tried many methods but to no avail.
Then I came up with this idea, modified the waiter's trolley, stole a set of clothes, and rescued you," Pan Hai explained.
"In the enemy's lair, you can use your wits but not your strength. Xiao Pan did a good job. Thanks to your cleverness, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape." Ma Yuchao praised Pan Hai after hearing Pan Hai's explanation.
"When I was in the training class, I was often scolded by the teacher. This is the first time for me to be praised by the teacher." Pan Hai touched the back of his head and smiled honestly.
Everyone laughed.
"I'll stay with you for two days first. I have to find a way to contact Shanghai Station. I have to leave your safety in their hands before I can go back safely." Ma Yuchao said.
"Okay, we can listen to the teacher's teachings more." Pan Hai said with a smile.
As for how to contact each other, everyone knew the rules and no one asked.
…
But it was already after five o'clock in the afternoon when He Tianmu took all the information from Zhang Jinlu.
He took people to the Huifeng Hotel, and the people from the third team pointed out to him the room where Ma Yuchao and others lived, and then withdrew.
He Tianmu confidently arranged manpower for surveillance. He not only arranged people to monitor the second floor, but also arranged people to monitor the open space downstairs, on the roof of the building, in the lobby, and in the teahouse. It can be said that the measures were much stricter than Zhang Jinlu's measures.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Ji rushed to room 216 where He Tianmu lived.
"Captain, I feel a little uncomfortable with my humble position." Li Ji said.
"What's wrong?" He Tianmu asked.
"Bizhong feels that there are two things that are not normal. First, no one comes in or out of room 212. They have to eat, right? Second, the lights are always on in the room. After we came, the lights have not been turned off. It is already ten o'clock.
There are no lights out, so what are they doing with the lights on?" Li Ji said.
"Well, that makes sense. Are the curtains in room 212 closed?" He Tianmu asked.
"No, you can see it very clearly downstairs," Li Ji replied.
"In this case, take someone to the upstairs opposite to use a telescope to have a look." He Tianmu ordered.
"Yes." Li Ji responded.
Ten minutes later, Li Ji hurriedly opened the door and walked in: "Captain, it's bad, there is no one in 212."
"Ah?" He Tianmu was shocked.
He quickly rushed to the door of room 212 with Song Ruiping and Li Ji.
He Tianmu took out his gun, turned on the safety, pointed it at the door, and ordered Song Ruiping: "Knock it open!"
Song Ruiping took two steps back and hit him hard.
With a "crash", the door was knocked open.
He Tianmu rushed into the room and saw that the room was in a mess and empty.
He Tianmu put his hand into the quilt and touched it. It was cold.
His heart immediately became cold.
"Captain, are you chasing me?" Song Ruiping asked.
"You ran away early, why are you chasing me? Call all the waiters in the hotel and ask about the situation." He Tianmu ordered.
"yes!"
…
However, after asking everyone in the hotel, they all said that they did not see the three people leaving the hotel.
"Captain, what should we do? Why don't we report it quickly?" Li Ji asked.
"If you don't hurry, I don't believe they can disappear out of thin air. Since no one has seen them escape, there is only one possibility."
At this time, He Tianmu no longer had the joy of picking up bargains. He only thought about finding Ma Yuchao and the others. Even if he couldn't find them, even if he could find out how they escaped, there would still be reasons to shirk responsibility and reduce the guilt.
"What do you mean, captain, that they hid in another room?" Li Ji asked.
"This is the only possibility. Search, search every room!" He Tianmu ordered.
"Captain, the HSBC Hotel is owned by the British and there are many foreigners staying there. Do you want to reconsider?" Li Ji kindly reminded.
"Don't think about it. I would rather let the guests complain than let this matter fall into my hands." He Tianmu said.
"yes!"
Li Ji fulfilled his duty to remind him, so he said nothing more and turned around to make arrangements.
After struggling all night, I didn't get anything out of it. Apart from being scolded by a bunch of foreigners, I got nothing else.
"Report it." He Tianmu said dejectedly, his eyes red and his hair messy.
He understood that what was waiting for him would not be flowers and applause, but the ruthless ridicule and blows from Li Shiqun, Wu Sibao and Zhang Jinlu.
…
The next day, before nine o'clock, Ma Yuchao took Liang Xiaochun out early.
"Xiaochun, you may not know that we left the dragon pool and entered the tiger's den again." Ma Yuchao said to Liang Xiaochun as he walked.
"What?" Liang Xiaochun couldn't help being surprised.
He knew very well what this meant.
"Pan Hai must be the traitor," Ma Yuchao said.
"No way? Teacher, he saved us." Liang Xiaochun said.
"You can't be wrong, it's him!" Ma Yuchao gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"I don't quite understand." Liang Xiaochun shook his head and said.
"Do you remember that note? It was the information Cobra risked his life to convey to me. It said that he would come to rescue us at midnight last night, and also revealed the mole.
Yesterday I once suspected that Cobra's intelligence was wrong, because we stayed at the HSBC Hotel and no one else knew about it, only the three of us. If there was an insider, it was only one of the three of us.
However, yesterday Pan Hai said that he saw me at the HSBC Hotel the day before yesterday, which means that two more people know about our stay in the hotel. One is Pan Hai and the other is Yang Zheng.
In other words, these two people may be insiders, and one of them reported our situation to the enemy.
If Pan Hai is only 50% suspicious of having seen us, then his action to save us yesterday exposed the other 50% of him."
"Teacher, you are saying that it is too easy to rescue us, right?" Liang Xiaochun asked.
