September 21, 1943, morning, 7:05.
"who?"
"I, driver Ban Xiaoluo, is Commander Meng here?"
"What's up?"
"There are several receipts."
Ronaldinho held several documents in his hand: "Mr. Meng didn't even sign. It was when I helped him drive. If he didn't sign, I couldn't reimburse him. He's been busy, and I can't find him."
The agent took the document, looked at it, and gave it back to Xiao Luo: "Director Meng, this is for you."
"Sir Meng, please sign."
When he saw Ronaldinho coming to him so early, Meng Shaoyuan knew that something was wrong:
"Damn it, it's so early, am I dead? Bring it over."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
Ronaldinho said with a smile: "Sorry to bother you."
Meng Shaoyuan signed the first document hastily.
"And this, please sign it too."
Ronaldinho pointed.
Ten baskets of apples, ten baskets of bananas, ten baskets of peaches!
Meng Shaoyuan asked Ronaldinho to buy it as a gift before.
Ronaldinho's finger fell on one word:
"Peach"!
Tao, run away!
Meng Shaoyuan signed the letter calmly:
"Get out!"
"Hey." Xiao Luo collected the receipt: "I'm really waiting for the money, otherwise I wouldn't bother you. I'm really anxious, too urgent!"
With that, he left the office.
Too urgent!
Extremely urgent!
What happened?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't know.
But what Meng Shaoyuan can be sure of is that it is extremely urgent, otherwise Ronaldinho would not take the risk to inform him!
Now, it's morning, 7:10!
…
July 21, morning, 7:20.
"Meng Shaoyuan worked together, the evidence is conclusive."
Gu Jianzhong was filled with murderous intent: "On the order of Director Xu, arrest Meng Shaoyuan immediately!"
"What if there is resistance? He is the director of military command after all."
"No conflict!"
Gu Jianzhong is still very calm:
"Now, Director Xu is preparing to report to the leader in person. We just need to rush to the military command, control Meng Shaoyuan, and then wait for Director Xu's instructions!"
"clear!"
"Is everyone here?"
"It's not time to go to work yet, but I've already informed you."
"How long will it take for the gathering to be completed?"
"Ten to fifteen minutes at most."
"Within ten minutes, no matter how many people arrive, leave immediately!"
…
Ronaldinho didn't stop for a minute.
He got into the car, started it smoothly, and stepped on the accelerator.
Chief Meng has received his own alarm.
He is such a smart person and knows what to do.
But time!
I must help Chief Meng buy some more time!
…
"It's broken, something happened!"
Meng Shaoyuan shouted fiercely: "Captain Xin, Captain Xin, don't sleep!"
Xin Zhiming was shaken awake by him, his eyes drowsy: "What's wrong?"
"Something's happened, that old man!"
"Which old man?"
"It's the old man who set up the fruit stall that I told you yesterday."
What old man?
Xin Zhiming's head is like paste.
After talking so much last night and this morning, how could I still remember the old man?
"Gather the people together and set out immediately to arrest them!"
Meng Shaoyuan said "Ouch" and stood up: "It will be too late!"
"all?"
"Everyone, let Section Chief Song take his people and set off immediately. All except the necessary left-behind personnel will be dispatched!"
Now, it is July 21, morning, 7:30.
…
Three cars drove out from the headquarters of the Central Bureau of Statistics.
Ronaldinho smiled.
"My dear, your commander has been so kind to you, you must remember to repay him."
His mother's words rang in Xiao Luo's ears.
I am just a little driver and have no other abilities.
But he still has the ability to buy some time for the chief.
I got married, and I received a telegram from my hometown a few days ago that my wife was pregnant.
It’s done, the Luo family has an heir.
Sir, everything Ronaldinho owes you will be paid back to you today!
He stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and rushed towards the car in front.
"boom"!
…
"Find an old man selling fruit!"
Meng Shaoyuan calmly issued the order.
All available manpower in the entire Military Command Headquarters has been mobilized!
…
"You will follow Song and Liang from tomorrow. On the 21st, I will create an opportunity for you to evacuate on time and meet at the designated location."
That day, Meng Shaoyuan said this to Su Junwen and Miao Zhixing: "I'm very worried that after Wu Jingyi and Li Zhifeng, Dai Li will detain you again. By then, I really won't be able to rescue you.
Their main target is me. Once there is any movement here, you can easily find an opportunity to escape. There are many small roads in Jiangjia Lane and the terrain is so complicated that Song and Liang can't see you at all.
If there is no movement here at 8:20, you should also take the initiative to evacuate. Don't worry about me, I can get out of here. "
"Understood. Sir, take care!"
"Take care, brother, we will definitely see you soon!"
…
July 21, morning, 8:30.
Gu Jianzhong's head was bandaged with a piece of bloody gauze, and he stumbled into the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau:
"where is the guy!"
The headquarters of the Military Command Bureau was empty.
Gu Jianzhong rushed into offices one after another like crazy.
The Zhongtong agents who followed him were all in a state of panic.
Just as they set off, a car crazily hit the lead car.
The two cars following behind failed to brake in time and both rear-ended the car.
The driver of the leading car and the driver of the accident car died on the spot.
Gu Jianzhong was injured.
When the others finally got out of the car, upon inspection, they found that the three agents had suffered varying degrees of injuries.
The convening of the Political Participation Conference has left Zhongtong with a serious shortage of manpower and cars.
If something like this happens again, it will be even worse.
While Gu Jianzhong was anxiously trying to find a way to move the completely damaged lead car, he found another car that could barely be driven.
In this car alone, six people, including Gu Jianzhong, were squeezed.
By the time we arrived at the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, it was already 8:30.
Finally, in an office, Gu Jianzhong saw a left-behind person, rushed over, and shouted:
"Where is Meng Shaoyuan? Where is Meng Shaoyuan?"
"Going out to perform a mission."
"Where are you going?"
"It seems like, where is it? I don't know, probably around the central city area."
"Let's go to Zhongcheng District, go to Zhongcheng District!"
…
"sure?"
"Yes, sure."
"Niang Xipi, an ace agent, actually had an affair with the Labor Party. Dai Li, how did you become the director?"
Dai Li stood there silently.
After all, something happened.
Meng Shaoyuan, I can’t protect you this time either.
Why should I stop you from escaping?
At this moment, Dai Li felt a flash of regret in his heart.
"Arrest Meng Shaoyuan immediately! Xu Enzeng ordered Gu Jianzhong to take charge personally!"
"yes!"
"The war of resistance will be won, long live the Chinese nation!"
At this time, there was a faint sound of marching slogans outside.
No, today is the day Meng Shaoyuan really wants to escape!
