"I'm going to Chongqing, maybe in the next few days!" Still in the small restaurant on the street, Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan, who had just arrived, were sitting opposite each other. There was a copper pot on the table, and there was a copper pot in the pot. A steaming pot of dog meat. When Tang Cheng spoke, Xu Huanshan put his chopsticks into the copper pot and picked up a piece of meat. Upon hearing Tang Cheng's words, Xu Huanshan immediately stopped and the piece of meat on the chopsticks fell back into the pot.
"Going to Chongqing? Why?" Xu Huanshan looked at Tang Cheng with a surprised look. Apparently he had forgotten that Tang Cheng had told him about going to Chongqing more than once. Tang Cheng curled his lips in dissatisfaction upon hearing this. Before he could speak, Xu Huanshan suddenly remembered that the last time he met Tang Cheng, the other party had said that he wanted to leave Nanjing, but he had not changed his mind just now.
"Why not go to Chongqing? My family sent it there last year, and they have been waiting for me for almost half a year!" Tang Cheng stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, then answered Xu Huanshan nonchalantly. "My position has not changed. I was still a police sergeant when I went to Chongqing. The pace of life there is slow and the cost of living is low. Most importantly, Chongqing is very safe, and my grandfather's home is in Chongqing. This time it is my mother's return to her roots. "
The answer given by Tang Cheng was not strong, but Xu Huanshan could not find a reason to refute it for a while, because according to Xu Huanshan's previous investigation, Tang Cheng's mother was indeed born in Chongqing. "What about the Intelligence Department? Can they let you go?" Like Joseph's previous thoughts, Xu Huanshan also believed that the Intelligence Department would not let Tang Cheng leave easily. After all, Tang Cheng's performance in counter-espionage matters was so impressive. People marvel.
"Old Xu, do you have a trap in your mind?" Tang Cheng stared at Xu Huanshan with his eyes widened after hearing this, "I have told you a long time ago, I am not from the Intelligence Department, I only help them because they can pay afterwards. I am commissioned, and I have to rely on this money to support my family. Although I am idle at home these days, I am still a policeman, and my establishment has been in the police department and has not been removed. My going to Chongqing is a normal personnel transfer in the police system. , what does it have to do with the Intelligence Department?"
Xu Huanshan believed Tang Cheng Yunshan's nonsense at first, but when he saw the smile in Tang Cheng's eyes, he realized that he had been teased by Tang Cheng again. "Okay, I'm not kidding you. It's not just me who was transferred to Chongqing this time, but also my uncle Zhang Jianghe who works in the Intelligence Department. When Zhang Jianghe was in Shanghai, he was ambushed by Tecno and lost an arm. He returned to I have been marginalized since Nanjing, and this time I was transferred to Chongqing to serve as the deputy chief of the Chongqing Station in charge of external operations."
Unlike Joseph who had met Zhang Jianghe, although Xu Huanshan knew Zhang Jianghe and what Zhang Jianghe did in the Intelligence Department, he had not met Zhang Jianghe. However, Xu Huanshan knew that Zhang Jianghe was ambushed by Utech in Shanghai, because after Tang Cheng went to Shanghai, Xu Huanshan also went to Shanghai. Xu Huanshan suddenly heard from Tang Cheng that Zhang Jianghe had also been transferred to Chongqing and served as the deputy station chief in charge of external operations at Chongqing Station. Xu Huanshan understood why Tang Cheng's expression looked so relaxed.
The Intelligence Department is a military unit, and has the power to supervise the military and police. Tangcheng is transferred to Chongqing, and with Zhang Jianghe as his backer, life in the future will not be smooth sailing, but at least it will be more comfortable than most people. "There is some money and two pistols in this suitcase. I originally used it to prepare for emergencies, but now it seems that I have no need for it." Tang Cheng raised his legs and took the suitcase from under the table. Pushing it to the foot of Xu Huanshan, Xu Huanshan reached out to lift the box. It seemed to be still very heavy.
"It's not much money. It's just some activity funds I sponsored for your underground party! I got the pistol back from Shanghai. I can't find the source here in Nanjing, but there aren't many bullets." People were coming in and out of the restaurant one after another, so Tang Cheng lowered his voice as much as possible when he spoke, and Xu Huanshan listened carefully. It's just that there aren't many things Tangcheng needs to explain to Xu Huanshan, especially the restaurant where this person goes in and out, which is not a good place to meet.
"Old Xu, I still say that Nanjing is not safe. The surrender obtained by the Central Government is a good opportunity. You can take advantage of this opportunity to evacuate Nanjing. You don't have to go far. Evacuate Xuzhou first. That's it. I have very reliable information. It's possible that the Japanese will take action in the second half of the year. The Japanese are different from the national army. They really fight like crazy. They don't know the difference between soldiers and civilians at all." Tangcheng plans to return the mountain to Xu He made the final persuasion, but looking at Xu Huanshan's reaction, he didn't seem interested.
The other party didn't like to hear it, so Tang Cheng simply stopped talking. Instead, he poured two glasses of wine, picked up one himself, and pushed the other to Xu Huanshan. "Old Xu, don't say anything anymore, everything is in this glass of wine!" After drinking up the wine in the glass, Tang Cheng placed his own wine upside down on the table. "This glass of wine, even if you practice it for me, I respect you. To be honest, I respect people like you who dare to give everything for the ideals and persistence in your heart."
"But I can't. I'm just an ordinary person. I still have family to take care of. Although I can't abandon my family and career and dedicate everything like you, I have been doing what I can. If it weren't for this damn thing The situation, Lao Xu, maybe we can become real friends." Xu Huanshan was a little surprised by Tang Cheng's words. Xu Huanshan had always thought that Tang Cheng was a rough-and-tumble guy, but he never thought that Tang Cheng would be like this. This guy can actually say such a thing.
"Old Xu, what kind of look do you have? You have to figure it out, I'm not your enemy!" Xu Huanshan's suspicious eyes made Tang Cheng furious, and he raised his hand to flick a peanut towards other side. "Actually, although we may not look like the same person, what we do is to achieve the same goal. You probe the enemy's intelligence from the inside, while I deal with the Japanese spies who try to probe our intelligence from the outside. One is to investigate the enemy's intelligence from the outside. The heart steals secrets, the other is to tighten the fence and eliminate loopholes.”
Hearing Tang Cheng's words, Xu Huanshan was shrouded in mist, but he also had to admit that Tang Cheng's words were correct. In a sense, the situation was indeed what Tang Cheng said just now. Tang Cheng failed to persuade Xu Huanshan to change his decision, and Xu Huanshan also failed to find out from Tang Cheng the source of the Japanese's unusual actions. Half an hour later, Xu Huanshan grabbed the last piece of meat in the copper pot, and their meeting came to an end.
"Old Xu, there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. No matter how good friends are, they will eventually part ways." Tang Cheng, who walked out of the small restaurant with Xu Huanshan, stopped on the street and did not wait for Xu Huanshan to speak. He opened his arms and hugged the other person fiercely. "Lao Xu, live well and hope that one day we will meet again! I hope that when that day comes, we can still be here and order another pot of dog meat. Next time, I will never let you go!"
He punched Xu Huanshan twice on the back with his fist. Tang Cheng turned around and left without giving Xu Huanshan a chance to speak. Xu Huanshan, carrying his suitcase, stood blankly on the side of the street, quietly watching Tang Cheng stride away. Before, he was still doubting Tang Cheng's intentions, but now he finally believed that Tang Cheng was really Yao leaving Nanjing. Faced with a gust of cold wind, Xu Huanshan shook his shoulders and twisted his waist, thinking that the two blows Tang Cheng had just hammered were really heavy.
When Xu Huanshan stood on the street and watched Tang Cheng leave, he didn't know that Tang Cheng, who turned around, had moisture in his eyes. Xu Huanshan is so insistent on staying in Nanjing. Once Nanjing becomes the focus of the Japanese army, Xu Huanshan will face an unbelievable huge crisis, and the chance of him surviving will be very small. In the city of Nanjing, there were not many people that Tang Cheng could call friends. Joseph could be counted as one, and Xu Huanshan could be counted as one.
Tang Cheng walked along the street for a while. After his emotions gradually calmed down, he found the car he had driven and drove home. Tang Cheng went out early in the morning and seemed a little gloomy when he came back. Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe, who were busy packing their belongings, didn't say much when they saw this. They just let Tang Cheng sit alone in the living room and look at the phone. daze. Tang Cheng sat there until it got dark and did not wait for Joseph's call. He was so hungry that he finally gave up this meaningless wait after smelling the aroma of the food.
Everyone chooses their own path. Tang Cheng tried his best to persuade Joseph and Xu Huanshan, but they did not choose the path and direction suggested by Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who suddenly had an epiphany, suddenly realized that his behavior of persuading Joseph and Xu Huanshan seemed ridiculous. Everyone in the world is an independent individual, and he should not impose his own consciousness on them. Tang Cheng had just picked up his rice bowl when he heard the phone ringing in the living room. Tang Cheng dropped the bowl and went to answer the phone, but it was Secretary Yao who called.
Secretary Yao called to deliver medicine to Tang Cheng. This was the condition Tang Cheng had agreed with them before. Tang Cheng did not refuse Secretary Yao because he really needed the medicine. Secretary Yao delivered the medicines Tangcheng needed, as well as parting words from the director. Zhang Jianghe, who understood the other party's intentions, also said that he would leave Nanjing in the next few days. In the next two days, Tang Cheng never left the Zhang family's old home. He spent the whole day packing his luggage and belongings in preparation for heading south to Chongqing.
In the early morning of another day, an almost full truck followed a black car and sped towards Xianguan Pier. Cao Wanchun was driving the black car, Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe were sitting in the back seat, and Tang Cheng was sitting in the truck behind. The moment the truck drove out of Yijiangmen, Tang Cheng, who had been holding back, finally shed tears, saying goodbye to Nanjing!
