Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof, was about to get off the roof when he suddenly saw a man and woman appearing in the backyard of the tavern. Although Tang Cheng could not hear the content of the conversation between the man and the woman, he vaguely felt that the man with his back turned to him seemed familiar, but he did not know anyone from the Chongqing underground party! With doubts in his heart, Tang Cheng immediately activated the Insight Technique. The Insight Technique skill, which had been used many times by Tang Cheng, was far more accurate than his own guessing.
If it weren't for the miraculous insight skill, Tang Cheng could hardly believe his eyes. He would never have thought that this thin man with a beard and glasses in a long gown could actually be Xu Huanshan. Xu Huanshan, who half-turned around to reveal half of his face, was obviously wearing a facial disguise. Tang Cheng, who used insight to determine his identity, finally believed that this tavern was a secret contact point for Chongqing's underground party organization.
But before Tang Cheng could wake up from the joy of seeing his old friend again, the woman who was talking to Xu Huanshan also revealed her true identity under the power of insight. Tang Cheng was shocked when he saw her. damn it! This woman who is talking to Xu Huanshan is actually from Zhongtong. How is this possible? Tang Cheng lowered his figure subconsciously and quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind, not only for the sake of his old friend Xu Huanshan, but also for the safety of Zhang Jianghe.
Tang Cheng made a small plan to lure Zhang Jianghe to the city government to arrest people, but he didn't know how long the affairs at the city government could hold Zhang Jianghe back. At this moment, it was discovered that someone from Zhongtong actually appeared in this tavern. Tangcheng, who originally only came to find out what was going on, could not stand aside and watch. Tang Cheng thought quickly in his mind. In desperation, he secretly took out a pistol from his equipment bag. If the situation changed, he planned to kill this woman first.
In the secret contact point of the Chongqing underground party, people from the Central Unification Party appeared. This can only mean that there is a problem with the Chongqing underground party organization, otherwise the people from the Central Unification Party would not have infiltrated into the secret contact point. Tangcheng has no intention of paying attention to the internal affairs of the Chongqing underground party, but this matter has already involved Zhang Jianghe. If the Central Unification agents who have been infiltrated here know that Zhang Jiang and the military commander are in secret contact with the underground party, this matter will cause trouble. Big hair.
Everyone in the military command knew about the relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe. If Zhang Jianghe was killed by the Central Command and had connections with the underground party, Tang Cheng would naturally not be able to escape the pursuit of the Central Command or the military commander. There is a large family in Tangcheng. In order to allow the family to survive well, Tangcheng took great risks and did so many things secretly. If his family was put in danger because of Zhang Jianghe's exposure, Tang Cheng would probably never forgive himself in this life.
Tang Cheng, who had a fierce look on the roof, had already taken out his gun and screwed it on his pistol. Perhaps killing people first and silencing him was the best solution he could think of at the moment. Xu Huanshan, who was talking to the woman in the backyard of the tavern, didn't know that the person he most wanted to see during his trip to Chongqing was lurking on the roof not far from him, and he was already ready to kill.
At this moment, Xu Huanshan in the yard did not know that Tang Cheng was watching him from the rooftop not far away. It had been two days since he arrived in Chongqing, but he had not yet met the top leaders of Chongqing’s underground party organization. Tang Cheng’s status was special, and Xu Huanshan also I dare not ask people from the Chongqing underground party to help inquire. "Comrade Chunlan, haven't I already told you, I just want to go out for a walk. I have been here for two days and have been staying here. I want to go out and see what's going on outside."
Cao Chunlan, the woman who is talking to Xu Huanshan at the moment, appears to be the proprietress of this tavern, but is actually a member of the Chongqing underground party. Moreover, she also has another identity, the secret of Zhongtong's infiltration into the underground party organization in Chongqing. spy. Facing Xu Huanshan's request again, Cao Chunlan did not show an expression of impatience on her face. Instead, she patiently explained and persuaded Xu Huanshan to give up the idea.
"Comrade Lao Xu, the situation outside is not very good. Chongqing has only experienced a severe crackdown once, and the interrogation of immigrants is particularly strict. You look like a stranger at first sight. If something happens to you when you go out, how can I follow you? As explained by superiors. When Comrade Wen Da went out, he once told me to take care of you and take good care of you during the period when he did not come back. Please wait patiently for a few more days. Comrade Wen Da may be able to return to Chongqing in the next few days. .”
Xie Wenda is the leader of Chongqing's underground party organization. He had met Xu Huanshan several times in Nanjing. If Cao Chunlan hadn't repeatedly used Xie Wenda's name, Xu Huanshan might have left here yesterday. Cao Chunlan once again used Xie Wenda's name to persuade Xu Huanshan. The latter could only sigh secretly when he heard the words. He knew that before Xie Wenda returned to Chongqing, he might have to stay here.
Seeing that Xu Huanshan no longer insisted on going out, a smile slowly appeared on Cao Chunlan's face, but before she could speak again, the boy who stayed in front of the tavern to greet the guests suddenly appeared in the backyard. "Madam boss, we have a regular customer here, and they said they are here for the batch of wine from last month!" When the young man spoke, he did not mean to avoid Xu Huanshan. When Cao Chunlan heard this, the corners of her eyebrows twitched slightly, Because there was a secret code hidden in what the young man just said that only she understood.
"Mr. Xu, please wait here for a moment. I'll go take a look in front." Cao Chunlan's face remained the same as before. She whispered to Xu Huanshan, then turned around and followed the young man to the front of the tavern. Cao Chunlan left, and Tang Cheng, who had been hiding on the roof, slowly released his finger from the trigger of the pistol, picked up a broken tile from the roof, and threw it at Xu Huanshan, who was stunned in the backyard of the tavern. Xu Huanshan in the yard did not realize that he was in deep danger because Cao Chunlan had a complete set of secret codes for the connection.
"Bang!" The broken tiles thrown by Tang Cheng from the roof landed accurately in front of Xu Huanshan. Xu Huanshan, who was horrified, turned sharply and stretched his right hand behind his waist to draw a gun. "It's me!" Tang Cheng raised his body from the roof, making gestures with his right hand and taking off the black scarf covering his face with his left hand. Seeing that Xu Huanshan had stopped what he was doing, Tang Cheng threw the rope he had prepared from the roof into the yard, signaling Xu Huanshan, who had recognized him, to grab the end of the rope.
Suddenly seeing Tang Cheng, Xu Huanshan was so excited that he did not immediately lose his vigilance, but just for a moment, Xu Huanshan still chose to believe in Tang Cheng. Xu Huanshan, who was holding on to the rope tightly, was quickly pulled up by Tang Cheng on the roof, "Are you stupid! The woman who just talked to you is from Zhongtong! I was talking to people from Zhongtong in the city earlier When the conflict broke out, I saw a confidential file they carried with them, and it contained the photo of the woman just now."
Tang Cheng had no way to explain to Xu Huanshan how he found out Cao Chunlan's identity, so he had to blame the whole thing on the Zhongtong Chongqing Work Station. Anyway, many people knew about the conflict between him and the Zhongtong in the city. Xu Huanshan, who was pulled up to the roof by Tang Cheng with a rope, was stunned when he heard this. According to his understanding of Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng should have a certain fondness for the underground party organization and would never joke with him about such a thing. .
But Cao Chunlan was the contact person who came to Chongqing on his own. Whether it was the contact code or the contact token, it was correct. Xu Huanshan found it hard to believe that Cao Chunlan could be a spy of the Central Government who infiltrated the Chongqing underground party. The hesitation on Xu Huanshan's face was all seen by Tang Cheng. However, there was no extra time to explain too much to Xu Huanshan at this moment. Tang Cheng just motioned to Xu Huanshan to lower his body and stretched his neck to look at the movement in the yard.
The person who came to the tavern to contact Cao Chunlan in code words was also from Zhongtong. From the first moment Xu Huanshan entered Chongqing, Zhongtong's workstation in Chongqing already knew about Xu Huanshan's appearance. They had not taken any action before, just to investigate Xu Huanshan from other channels. What they did not expect was that Xu Huanshan, who seemed to have a humble appearance, was actually an important member of the underground party organizations in Nanjing and Shanghai.
An important member of the underground party who had been active in Nanjing and Shanghai suddenly came to a rear city such as Chongqing. The Central Command suspected that Xu Huanshan must be carrying the latest instructions from Yan'an, and they wanted to know the contents of the instructions. Cao Chunlan, who did not dare to reveal her identity easily, spent only half a cigarette to send away the Central Unification agent who pretended to be here to discuss business. When she returned to the backyard of the tavern, she discovered that Xu Huanshan was missing.
"Look for it. Send someone out to look for it immediately. It won't take long. He must not have gone far yet!" Cao Chunlan suspected that Xu Huanshan had climbed over the wall and left the yard. He then asked the people in the tavern to go out and look for him. When Cao Chunlan was left alone in the yard, When he was alone, Xu Huanshan, who was lying on the roof, clearly saw the twisted side of Cao Chunlan's expression. A member of the underground party who has been living behind enemy lines for a long time will never show such an expression even if he loses contact with his companions. Moreover, Cao Chunlan's smoking behavior does not look like an underground party member at all.
"If you still don't believe me, then I'll go down and catch her, and you can ask her yourself!" Tang Cheng, who was lying next to Xu Huanshan, whispered, raising his right hand to let Xu Huanshan see the pistol in his hand. Xu Huanshan is also a veteran who has been working in the underground party for many years and has his own standards of judgment. Cao Chunlan's performance at the moment does seem to be a little off. Thinking back to what Tang Cheng said before, Xu Huanshan decided to believe Tang Cheng's words. There might really be something wrong with this Cao Chunlan.
Xu Huanshan came to Chongqing this time not only to find Tangcheng, but also to shoulder the important task entrusted by his superiors. If there is a problem with Cao Chunlan, it means that he has probably been targeted by the Central Command's spies in Chongqing. At this moment, the only person he can trust seems to be the young man next to him.
