Tang Cheng should not have entered the clinic so rashly and said in public that he was the masked man who just helped. But at this moment, Tang Cheng was eager to know the whereabouts and whereabouts of Xu Huanshan, so he didn't care about that much. . The female nurse's shoulder movement made Tang Cheng's heart ring loudly. If Tang Cheng was sitting in the female nurse's position, he would probably have a pistol or something placed under the table in front of him. Other weapons.
Sure enough, after Tang Cheng spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions and took the initiative to reveal his intentions to the other party, the female nurse still reached out and pulled out a small lady's Browning pistol from under the table. "Don't be impulsive. I don't mean any harm. I'm really here to find them! If you don't believe me, look, I don't have anything in my hands!" As Tang Cheng spoke, he subconsciously took a step back. As long as he continued Take a step back, and your heels will touch the threshold of the clinic door.
The female nurse who drew the pistol obviously didn't make a decision. She just pointed the gun at Tang Cheng and pressed a button in a hidden position on the table with her left hand. The button is used to notify people behind the clinic. As long as the button is pressed, the normally disconnected circuit will be connected, and the lights in the small room behind the clinic will light up immediately. After a few breaths, the door next to the female nurse was pushed open, and a middle-aged doctor who was obviously still out of breath appeared in Tang Cheng's sight.
"He said he was looking for someone, and he also said he rescued Lao Zhang and the others." The female nurse stood up and whispered into the doctor's ear. After hearing this, the doctor immediately turned his gaze to Tang Cheng. His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of alertness in the doctor's expression, because Tang Cheng had not taken off the scarf and scarf that almost covered his entire face since he entered the clinic. sunglasses. Tang Cheng saw the confusion in the other party's expression, but he did not take off his scarf and sunglasses.
"I know Xu Zhiyuan, and I'm here to find him." Tang Cheng reported Xu Huanshan's pseudonym in Shanghai. This clinic took in and hid the chased people, so they should know Xu Huanshan. Even if they didn't know each other, they would still know him. There must be some connection. It had to be said that Tang Cheng's vigilance was necessary. Although he covered his face with a scarf and sunglasses, his clothing and accent would become the direction and clues for tracing.
Taking the risk to enter this clinic was already a risky move for Tang Cheng. Even if it could be confirmed that there was no traitor among those being chased, Tang Cheng would not be able to expose himself to the underground party outside of Xu Huanshan. "Xu Zhiyuan? How do you know him?" The doctor, whose breath had calmed down, was slightly surprised. He knew that Xu Zhiyuan came from Nanjing, but he did not know the specific mission of the other party.
"He and I are friends. We have known each other since we were in Nanjing." The surprise in the other person's eyes made Tang Cheng become more cautious. "We originally made an appointment to meet, but when I rushed to the place, I happened to catch up with someone running away and being chased. I helped out on the road, and then followed the chased people all the way here. I I just want to know, how can I contact Xu Zhiyuan?"
Tang Cheng stood there without moving because the female nurse kept pointing a gun at him. After obtaining the doctor's consent, Tang Cheng slowly stepped forward, took the pen and paper on the table and left a phone number for the doctor. . "You can find me at this number, but I can only wait for an hour. If Xu Zhiyuan doesn't contact me within an hour, please tell him that I may not be able to help with what he said!"
What Tang Cheng left to the other party was the number of a roadside phone booth. This phone booth was only two blocks away from Hans' restaurant. Even if the number was exposed, Tang Cheng would have enough time to escape through the alley and go to Hans' restaurant. Except for this phone number, Tang Cheng's appearance and departure left no traces like the wind. There was also something strange about it. The underground party members hiding in the backyard of the clinic had different reactions when they learned about it. .
"When we retreated, someone did help us secretly, especially after someone set off cigarettes. Someone even came over to remind us to evacuate as soon as possible. But that person had his head covered at the time, and I didn't know who that person was. Moreover, there was white smoke everywhere, and the figure of the man could not be clearly seen." The underground party member who was caught by Tangcheng and reminded to evacuate could not tell the situation of the helper at all.
"Although the other party knows Xu Zhiyuan and said he came from Nanjing, we still don't know whether they are enemies or friends. Lao Xu left us separately when he retreated, and we can't contact them at all now. It's better to go first Wait a minute, wait until we contact Lao Xu and they are talking about this. But we can't stay here anymore, we must evacuate immediately!" There are not many people who can do underground work who are short-sighted, and they learned that Tang Cheng was following them all the way. When they found this place, some of them immediately realized that the clinic might no longer be safe.
After leaving the clinic, Tang Cheng did not actually walk far. Instead, he observed the area around the clinic from a distance. After confirming that no strange places or people were found, he took a rickshaw and returned to Xu Huanshan along the original route. The place we made an appointment with. When Tangcheng stopped the car to help, he not only took off his coat, but also covered his head and face with a dark scarf. In addition, he appeared for a short time. Not only the pursuers, but also the unlucky car driver, I can’t even explain the appearance and characteristics of Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng came back in a rickshaw in a swaggering manner. The pursuers he shot had already been sent to the hospital for treatment. There were only a few pools of blood left on the street and the car parked diagonally on the side of the road. There were more concession patrols and some men in short shirts with cold faces on the street. Seeing that the patrols did not close the road, Tang Cheng motioned to the rickshaw driver to go straight along the street. Xu noticed that Tang Cheng was of the wrong age and was dressed like a rich man. My dear, those patrolmen did not conduct an interrogation in Tangcheng.
At this time, about half an hour had passed since the previous gun battle. The traces and effects of the gun battle had almost been eliminated. Even the place where Xu Huanshan had made an appointment had returned to calm. Tang Cheng did not get off the bus, but asked the rickshaw driver to park the rickshaw at the entrance of a fabric store. When he got off to pay, Tang Cheng turned around and saw someone on the street looking towards him.
This is really deadly! Seeing the person looking towards him in the distance, Tang Cheng frowned subconsciously. Although the other person's appearance had changed, Tang Cheng remembered the figure of the man and cursed secretly in his heart. After paying the fare, Tang Cheng reached out and took off the hat on his head as if nothing had happened, then turned and entered the fabric store. Tang Cheng's action of taking off his hat outside the fabric store seemed ordinary, but it was actually a signal. If that person was Xu Huanshan, he would definitely understand the meaning.
A few minutes later, while the fabric store owner and his clerk were busy cutting fabrics for Tangcheng, Xu Huanshan, dressed in a suit, came in from outside. Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan looked at each other, but did not come forward to talk. They just pointed at a piece of cloth. When Le Dianding, the cloth shop owner who had been attentive to Tang Cheng, picked up the cloth, Tang Cheng gave it to him in a very cryptic way. Xu Huanshan winked.
Tang Cheng bought a lot of fabrics in this fabric store. After paying, Tang Cheng left the address of his residence, and the owner of the fabric store promised to send someone to deliver the fabrics to his door immediately. Like any other customer, Xu Huanshan only bought a very ordinary piece of fabric and then left the fabric store with Tang Cheng. "Why are you still here? Didn't you see those patrolmen and plainclothes spies on the street?" Tang Cheng's words sounded a little harsh, but Xu Huanshan knew that Tang Cheng was worried about him.
"I can't leave yet. I left something too quickly when I retreated. I left something inside. That thing is very important to me. I must get it. If I hadn't happened to see you, I might have followed Huzi. The two of them touched in together." When Xu Huanshan mentioned Hu Zi, Tang Cheng realized that Xu Huanshan was waiting here alone, protecting him, and he would have already risked his life to return to that place.
"I asked, do you not take human life seriously?" Tang Cheng looked around, then turned back to look at Xu Huanshan who had followed him into the alley. "I won't tell you what happened just now, but you should also know it yourself. The people who sent out so many people to round you up must be from the Zhongtong. Those people from the Zhongtong are your old opponents. They have been fighting you for so many years. People must be very familiar with your style of doing things. Do you think they wouldn’t think of your back-and-forth attitude?”
"More importantly, I have always suspected that there is something wrong within you. If it is really a traitor who betrayed you, and you take the risk of going back at this time, then it is really possible that you will be beaten by a meat bun and never come back!" "Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan start to become nervous. From his rapid breathing, Tang Cheng could feel it. But at this time, Tang Cheng still had to continue to attack the opponent, otherwise Xu Huanshan and the others might really suffer disaster if something like this happened next time.
"Look carefully at the row of windows across the street. Where can anyone draw the curtains in broad daylight? Besides, the weather is pretty good today." Tang Cheng planned to speak with facts, and then pointed Xu Huanshan to pay attention to the doubts he had discovered before. "And that shop over there, it looks very ordinary, but have you noticed the people going in and out of that shop? Why are they all men, but no women coming in or out?"
After hearing what Tang Cheng said, Xu Huanshan patiently observed it carefully for a while, and finally discovered many suspicious things. But at this time, even if he regretted it, it was too late. According to time estimates, Huzi and the others might have entered the yard.
