When Tangcheng eats out, he rarely chooses a place. As long as the store is clean and diners come and go, even if it is a street food stall, Tangcheng can eat with gusto. But such a coincidence would happen. The restaurant Tang Cheng walked into at this moment was not his deliberate choice, but as soon as he walked in, Tang Cheng saw an acquaintance. Tang Cheng had dealt with Feng Qianshan, the operations captain of Zhongtong, several times before, but he didn't expect to see him in this small restaurant.
Feng Qianshan was also surprised to encounter Tangcheng here. Normally, Feng Qianshan would not come to eat in a small street restaurant like this. When he saw Feng Qianshan sitting opposite the store door, Tang Cheng slowed down unconsciously, but he did not stop at the door or turn around and leave immediately. Without making eye contact with Feng Qianshan, Tang Cheng subconsciously looked around the entire restaurant, and found a few slightly familiar faces among the diners.
What a bad luck! Tang Cheng, who was stared at by several unknown eyes, couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart. Feng Qianshan appeared here, and it could be said that he came here to eat, but why did his subordinates sit separately from Feng Qianshan, the operational captain? Without even thinking about it carefully, Tang Cheng had already figured out the answer on his own. Feng Qianshan and the others could only have one answer when they appeared here. They were here to arrest people.
Tang Cheng, who already understood everything in his heart, walked slowly into the small restaurant. He did not say hello to Feng Qianshan, who had been paying attention to him, but chose a seat near the restaurant counter and sat down. Feng Qianshan is from Zhongtong, and the people who come here to arrest can only be underground party members. Tang Cheng did not intend to get involved in this matter. The reason why he did not turn around and leave immediately was just to prevent Feng Qianshan from suspecting that he was related to the underground party.
Seeing Tang Cheng come in and sit down without any scruples, Feng Qianshan was even more surprised. He secretly winked at several of his men who participated in the operation, and Feng Qianshan immediately adjusted his mood and ignored the seemingly harmless Tang Cheng. Feng Qianshan no longer paid attention to Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng, who was sitting side by side with Feng Qianshan, was paying attention to the situation in the store. Especially when the waiter came up to greet him, Tang Cheng had already used the waiter's body as a cover and could clearly see Feng Qianshan's face. Where are all the subordinates sitting?
If the Central Government launched such a large-scale war, they must not be arresting ordinary underground party members. Tang Cheng knew this, but he was unable to warn him, and he did not know who Feng Qianshan's target was. While Tang Cheng was secretly anxious, Feng Qianshan, who was also anxious, looked down at his watch. According to the intelligence, the connector should have appeared in this restaurant at this time, but for some unknown reason, the connector did not show up.
Feng Qianshan's team conducted a secret arrest operation two days ago. Although Feng Qianshan's team paid the price of one death and two injuries during the operation, they finally succeeded in capturing two Nanjing underground party members, one of whom was a member of the Nanjing underground party branch. member. After finally catching a big fish, Feng Qianshan tried his best to force the other party to speak. According to the surrenderer's confession, at exactly 2 o'clock this afternoon, in this restaurant, the Nanjing underground party was supposed to have a secret meeting.
But it was already five minutes after the agreed time, and the contact person still didn't show up. Feng Qianshan, who was anxious, couldn't help but look at the table in the corner. The food Tang Cheng asked for had already been served to the table by the waiter, but while he was eating, he secretly paid attention to Feng Qianshan and a few of his men. Feng Qianshan's change at this moment was immediately noticed by Tang Cheng, who pretended to be unintentional and called the restaurant waiter to come over to him. Tang Cheng followed Feng Qianshan's line of sight and happened to see the table in the corner.
There were three people sitting at the table in the corner of the restaurant. People who didn't know what was going on would think that these three people were together, but Tang Cheng didn't think so. The first was the man facing Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng recognized that he was Feng Qianshan's subordinate. As for the man with his back to Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng also saw flaws in the leather shoes he was wearing. The only one sitting sideways against the wall, whether he was picking up food with chopsticks or picking up the food, his right hand would involuntarily shake a few times, and Tang Cheng could faintly see the whip marks on that person's wrist.
Looking at where the man was sitting, the arrangement of Feng Qianshan's two men protecting him in the corner, and thinking of the look Feng Qianshan had just seen, Tang Cheng knew that he had guessed the answer. The man sitting sideways in the corner should be an underground man. Party traitors or voluntary defectors. In this way, everything made sense. Tang Cheng frowned. It seemed that Feng Qianshan and the others were really here to arrest people, but the target who was supposed to come to meet did not appear here on time.
Tang Cheng felt relieved and had a good appetite. Just as the restaurant waiter came to him, Tang Cheng ordered another braised pork chop. Feng Qianshan, who was in a panic, turned his head and happened to see Tang Cheng chewing at his desk. He couldn't help but feel moved. He picked up the bowls and chopsticks on his table, then stood up and walked towards Tang Cheng. "Ugh!" Tang Cheng, whose mouth was full of meat pieces, deliberately pretended to be cute and looked at Feng Qianshan, who was sitting opposite him. Seeing Feng Qianshan's nonchalant look, Tang Cheng swallowed the meat pieces in his mouth. , while looking around a few times.
"Captain Feng, I thought you were here to arrest someone!" Tang Cheng didn't know if Feng Qianshan was already doubting himself, so he uncharacteristically answered the question and saw how Feng Qianshan would react. Feng Qianshan was not frightened by Tang Cheng's words, but nodded and admitted that he had indeed brought people here to arrest them, but unfortunately, the target who was supposed to come here did not appear.
"No wonder!" After finally swallowing all the meat in his mouth, Tang Cheng's voice became clearer. "As soon as I entered the door just now, I saw you, Captain Feng. The two people at the table over there should also be your subordinates. I just thought that you guys were here for some action. I wanted to stay and watch the fun, but I didn't expect it. But it failed." Feng Qianshan bluntly explained his purpose, and Tang Cheng did not show any weakness, nor did he hide the fact that he recognized Feng Qianshan and the others from the beginning.
"Brother Tang, I heard that your intelligence office is very busy these days!" As Feng Qianshan was speaking, Tang Cheng pushed the plate of braised pork chops on the table toward Feng Qianshan. The other party was not polite and directly picked a piece to read. Put the biggest one into your mouth. Tang Cheng understood that Feng Qianshan was talking like this to trick him, so he just laughed, picked up a piece of hoof and stuffed it into his mouth. Feng Qianshan and Tang Cheng were sitting at the same table and chewing. His subordinates were dumbfounded. Feng Qianshan was withdrawn and had few friends even within Zhongtong. When had they ever seen Feng Qianshan behave like this with a stranger? Got acquainted.
A plate of braised pork chop couldn't stand up to the competitive eating style of the two of them in Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who was excited about eating, wanted to ask the waiter to come over and order another plate of pork chop, but Feng Qianshan stopped him. "Forget it, I don't have time to compete with you here!" Feng Qianshan spit out the bones in his mouth, burped, drank the tea in front of him, and then stood up. "Let's go. When I have time, I'll treat you to a piece of pork chop." Feng Qianshan walked away with grease stains on his lips, and his subordinates also left the restaurant.
If Feng Qianshan was not from Zhongtong, Tang Cheng would not mind having a relationship with Feng Qianshan, who has a free and easy personality, but now, he has more important things to do. Feng Qianshan's attitude obviously did not connect Tang Cheng with the underground party, so Feng Qianshan's subordinates did not even think about it in this regard. Tang Cheng took the opportunity to have a clear look at the appearance of the surrender. Tang Cheng was good at portraits, but Feng Qianshan didn't know this, so after Feng Qianshan and the others left, Tang Cheng followed suit and left.
After visiting several shops on the street, Tang Cheng finally found the pencils and blank paper he needed. Then he hailed a rickshaw on the street and rushed to the school where Xu Huanshan worked. "Why are you looking for me so urgently?" After receiving a call from Tang Cheng in advance, Xu Huanshan waited early at a small street restaurant that he had been to twice. After seeing Tang Cheng, he was struck by the emotion on Tang Cheng's face. Anxious and startled, Xu Huanshan asked urgently if something had happened.
Tang Cheng did not answer Xu Huanshan's inquiry. He just sat down at the table in the corner, took out a pen and paper, and quickly restored the face he had seen half an hour ago in front of Xu Huanshan. "Is this person one of yours?" It is a very magical thing to be able to see with your own eyes that a portrait that is almost the same as a real person is taking shape bit by bit until it is completed. However, compared to this portrait, Xu Huanshan cares more about it. It was the sentence that Tang Cheng asked just now.
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Huanshan was already familiar with the face in the portrait. When Tang Cheng finally pointed out a mole on the left eyebrow corner of the face in the portrait, Xu Huanshan had already recognized this face. The owner of the face, but he didn't know Tang Cheng's purpose of painting this portrait, so he subconsciously asked the question.
"This man has surrendered to the Central Government, I have seen this with my own eyes!" The answer given by Tang Cheng was something Xu Huanshan never expected, because in his opinion, the owner of this face should never rebel and surrender to the enemy! Perhaps Huanshan would never doubt Tang Cheng. After all, Tang Cheng had secretly helped him many times. If Tang Cheng was a secret move by Zhongtong, it would not make sense at all.
Xu Huanshan's hesitation was clearly seen by Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows and then handed the portrait to Xu Huanshan. "When I saw this person, he was with Feng Qianshan from Zhongtong. They should be preparing to trap someone from your organization. I don't know why, but the person who was supposed to go to the restaurant to meet did not show up. From Feng Qianshan The reaction at that time, I can 100% guarantee that the person in the portrait has rebelled."
