In the White Russian bakery next to the central prison house, Xu Huanshan, who was calm and secretly anxious, did not wait to come to Tangcheng, but An Xiaohu and Hu Cheng, who smelled of gunpowder smoke but pretended to be calm, came. Xu Huanshan saw with his own eyes that An Xiaohu and An Xiaohu were surrounded. If it were him, Xu Huanshan knew that there was absolutely no way he could escape the siege of those men in short clothes.
But An Xiaohu and the two came back safe and sound, but Tang Cheng was nowhere to be seen. Xu Huanshan, who still had a hint of clarity in his heart, immediately left the bakery with An Xiaohu and the two. Under Xu Huanshan's constant questioning, An Xiaohu and An Xiaohu recounted the story of how they were rescued twice, complementing each other. Knowing that An Xiaohu and the two were not sure whether the masked man was also out of danger, Xu Huanshan's expression instantly solidified. Compared with the bill of lading, Xu Huanshan believed that Tangcheng's value was higher.
Thinking that An Xiaohu said that the masked man who rescued them rarely spoke to them during the whole process, Xu Huanshan's mood became heavy. Before this incident, Xu Huanshan might have thought that Tang Cheng did not talk to An Xiaohu and An Xiaohu in order to better hide his identity. However, after experiencing this incident, Xu Huanshan already had a clear understanding in his heart. .
Maybe Tang Cheng will change the way and attitude of contacting underground party organizations in the future. After all, to rescue An Xiaohu and the other two, Tang Cheng is risking his life and getting burned. An hour later, Xu Huanshan, who had been wavering, finally called his residence in Tangcheng. The person who answered the phone was not Tang Cheng or Zhou Hongzhuang, but Zhang Jianghe, whom Xu Huanshan had never met before.
There were continuous gun battles on the streets in the French Concession today, and weapons such as handguns were used in the exchanges. The cook who went out to buy food had already reported this to Zhang Jianghe as news. When Zhang Jianghe knew about this incident, he did not associate Tang Cheng with this incident. Especially when Tang Cheng left his residence, he did so under the pretext of going shopping. Moreover, throughout the day, Tang Cheng also made purchases one after another. The merchant sent people to deliver the things to the residence.
But when Tang Cheng, who looked exhausted, returned to his residence, Zhang Jianghe discovered traces of blood on Tang Cheng's trousers from Tang Cheng, who smelled of perfume. Zhang Jianghe planned to ask Tang Cheng after dinner, but Xu Huanshan called during dinner. After just a few ordinary conversations, Zhang Jianghe had already judged that the person calling on the other end of the phone was not an ordinary person.
Zhang Jianghe has always believed in his own hunch and judgment. After all, it was his astuteness and vigilance that allowed him to successfully lurk within the Kuomintang for so many years. With a preliminary judgment in mind, Zhang Jianghe quietly tested Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone. He had known for a long time that Tang Cheng had an uncle who worked in the Intelligence Department next to him. Xu Huanshan, who did not react at first, gradually became wary.
Xu Huanshan and Zhang Jianghe tested each other on the phone. Until Tang Cheng came down from upstairs, Zhang Jianghe could not identify who Xu Huanshan was on the other end of the phone, but he was already sure that the other person was Friends are not enemies. "Mr. Xu, we may need to change the way we get along in the future." After receiving the call, Tang Cheng simply made things clear to Xu Huanshan on the phone after Zhang Jianghe left.
What happened today gave Tang Cheng a warning. Especially when family members may be implicated, Tang Cheng had to be careful. Tang Cheng no longer planned to get involved in what Xu Huanshan said before. Xu Huanshan just called, so Tang Cheng decided to explain the matter clearly to Xu Huanshan on the phone. "I'm afraid I can't help with the matter you mentioned before, because I have to return to Nanjing immediately, and time no longer allows me to participate in the matter you mentioned."
When Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone heard this, he was secretly sad. At the same time, he understood in his heart that it should have happened during the day, which changed Tang Cheng's mentality. "Brother Tang, what you said is too unreasonable. I would like to thank you for your help with what happened during the day. As for the previous matter, I can find a way to solve it myself. Maybe in a few days, I am also going back to Nanjing, and when I get back to Nanjing, we will still have a chance to meet again!"
Xu Huanshan called Tang Cheng at this time. The biggest purpose was to test Tang Cheng's attitude, so he mentioned in his words that he would meet again when he returned to Nanjing. How could Tangcheng not hear the profound meaning in Xu Huanshan's words, "Mr. Xu, it may not work to meet again in Nanjing. To tell you the truth, I am returning to Nanjing this time just to get the transfer order, and then I will be there soon." Heading south to Chongqing. Therefore, the possibility of us meeting again in the future is extremely slim."
Tang Cheng made his plans clear to Xu Huanshan without even trying to cover up on the phone. Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be speechless. What Tang Cheng said just now should be regarded as indicating his attitude, that is, he will interrupt contact with him in the future, which is something Xu Huanshan definitely does not want to see. Xu Huanshan, who finally got on the line with Tangcheng and conducted a detailed investigation of Tangcheng, was very optimistic about the young man Tangcheng.
He never expected that just a sudden change would cause Tangcheng to suddenly change its attitude towards the underground party. Wouldn't that mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain! Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone was upset, and Tang Cheng was not in a good mood on the other end of the phone. However, compared with Xu Huanshan's loss, Tang Cheng felt more regret and self-reflection in his heart.
Tangcheng initially came into contact with the Nanjing underground party and secretly helped the other party. This was because Tangcheng, who came from a later generation, grew up under the red flag, and his family elders taught him about the relationship between country and family from an early age. In this era, with a magical system that ordinary people don't have, Tangcheng has always wanted to do something for this suffering country. Tang Cheng, who has the memory of later generations, naturally knows who is the savior of the working people, so he secretly helps the Nanjing underground party organization.
Perhaps it was the constant smooth sailing that made Tang Cheng feel a little elated. With the skills and items obtained from the system lottery, Tang Cheng even sometimes felt that he was almost invincible. In this state, when he came to Shanghai, he began to have frequent contact with Xu Huanshan. Not only did he participate in helping the Shanghai underground party to snatch medicines, but he also pretended to be smart and kept Zhou Hongzhuang, a peripheral member of the Shanghai underground party, with him. around.
Tang Cheng kept Zhou Hongzhuang by his side so that Zhang Jianghe could have a channel and opportunity to contact his superiors. However, afterwards, Tang Cheng found that his decision was a wrong move. Because Zhou Hongzhuang was not considered a peripheral member of the Shanghai underground party at all, she had no ability to contact the Shanghai underground party organization. At this time, Tangcheng was still worried about the identity verification that the Intelligence Department might carry out on Zhou Hongzhuang.
This was a timed ** placed beside him. After his enlightenment, Tang Cheng had to start secretly planning to give Zhou Hongzhuang a new identity, at least one that could pass the review of the Intelligence Department. At this time, Tang Cheng was only worried that Zhou Hongzhuang's identity would be exposed and would cause trouble, but he did not realize that his connections with the underground party were becoming more and more intensive. Through state apparatuses such as the Intelligence Department and T&T High Technology.
Yan Xishan, who once called himself the King of Shanxi, often said that he was dancing on three eggs in his life. He had both sides and could not offend anyone, but in the end he still lost Shanxi. It was not until today in the French Concession that Tang Cheng suddenly realized that he was also dancing on three eggs. If he was not careful, not only would he be in trouble, but his family might also be implicated. On the way back to his residence, Tang Cheng kept thinking about this issue, and finally found that he had been feeling a little dizzy during this period, and had reached the edge of danger.
Tangcheng's biggest concern in this era is the family members who have been sent to Chongqing. With so many things happening, Tangcheng is completely thinking about their families. A danger suddenly appeared that could threaten the safety of his family. According to Tang Cheng's temperament, the signs of danger must be eliminated immediately. "Mr. Xu, when you come to Chongqing in the future, we will still be friends!" When Tang Cheng said the last two words, he emphasized the pronunciation of the words. Xu Huanshan also understood what Tang Cheng wanted to express.
There is a difference between friends and comrades, and the difference is very big. In a sense, these two words in Tangcheng have cut off Xu Huanshan's opportunity to develop Tangcheng. Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone felt disappointed when he heard this. Tangcheng had clearly defined the relationship between the two of them. From now on, they were just friends rather than comrades. This already showed that Tangcheng rejected the solicitation of the underground party.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Cheng secretly let out a sigh of relief. He had never known how to express his attitude to Xu Huanshan before, but now he discovered that there was actually nothing to be embarrassed about. After finally expressing his attitude to Xu Huanshan, who represented the Nanjing underground party organization, Tang Cheng felt relieved and immediately felt better. At the dinner table, he also returned to his usual lightness. Zhang Jianghe also secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched.
In the next two days, Tang Cheng never left his residence. He was either hiding in the study room to discuss matters with Hans who came to visit, or dealing with the tailor and shoemaker who came to visit, waiting for Hans to drive to see Tang Cheng off as agreed. When the three of them went to the dock, the luggage they carried in Tangcheng had increased to four large suitcases each. "Hans, my friend, thank you for helping me during this time. Don't forget what I told you. If the situation really comes to that point, and you come to Chongqing, I will definitely help you. .”
When saying goodbye at the dock, Tang Cheng opened his arms and gave Hans a bear hug, and then got on the boat without looking back. After waiting for the ship to leave the dock and sail far away, Tang Cheng came from the cabin to the deck. Looking at Shanghai gradually fading away, Tang Cheng felt filled with emotion. On the beach, he finally left his own footsteps and marks.
