Tang Cheng met the tea shop owner again in the backyard of a bookstore in the French Concession. Tang Cheng, who entered the bookstore at the agreed time, was taken directly to the backyard of the bookstore. There was not only the tea shop owner, but also a strange man and woman. "What do you call it?" Seeing Tang Cheng following behind the bookstore owner, the tea shop owner immediately turned to the middle-aged man and whispered in his ear. The latter stood up and stretched out his right hand to Tang Cheng while smiling. Words.
The other party had shown a kind attitude, but Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to the goodwill shown by the other party. He didn't even look at the middle-aged man's outstretched right hand, and just sat down in the chair opposite the tea shop owner. . "My time is very tight, so there is no need to resort to the same trick! I came here at the agreed time. I just want to know the decision of your Shanghai underground party organization! If you refuse to cooperate, I can find someone else!"
Tang Cheng's disregard made the middle-aged man who stood up and stretched out his right hand somewhat embarrassed. The tea shop owner who was the first to react secretly winked, and then the middle-aged man suppressed his anger and sat down. The man and woman who were ordered to meet with Tang Cheng mistakenly believed that Tang Cheng was also an underground party. Tang Cheng's behavior at this moment made them doubt their previous judgment, because one of them should not behave like this.
Tang Cheng looked at the other three people with an indifferent expression. He had already expressed his attitude just now. Next, it would be up to him to see what the other party meant. Tang Cheng did not speak, and the middle-aged man remained silent as well. Seeing this, the tea shop owner could only speak to break the awkward situation. "I have already reported to my superiors what you told me before. These two are here to meet with you on behalf of the superiors to discuss plans." Tang Cheng has a pretty good impression of the tea house manager, so he After speaking, he subconsciously softened his expression slightly.
"We have many doubts about the plan you mentioned. The reason why the organization asked us to meet is to discuss some of our concerns with you." The tea shop owner broke the silence first, and the woman with a slightly heroic look between her eyebrows also Then he spoke. Compared to the forced calmness of the middle-aged man next to her, Tang Cheng seemed to be quite satisfied with the woman's attitude. After all, when the woman spoke, she did not reveal a superior attitude in her words.
"I made it very clear last time. All you need to do is, after seeing the signal I sent, use your strength to transport the things at the agreed location! Tell you the direction and purpose of the action. , I just want you to understand this action. I don’t want you to participate in the specific action at all!” Tang Cheng’s words sounded a bit aggressive at first, but if you calm down and think carefully about what Tang Cheng just said, By saying this, you can understand what Tang Cheng wants to express.
Half an hour passed quickly, and this unpleasant meeting finally came to an end after Tang Cheng stood up. Tang Cheng, who left the back door of the bookstore, didn't look very good. He took the initiative to bring the Shanghai underground party organization closer to this action. Tang Cheng just wanted to provide a batch of materials, weapons and ammunition for free to the Shanghai underground party organization. But he did not expect that the opinions within the Shanghai underground party organization were not unified. Some people in the Shanghai underground party organization actually felt that the Shanghai underground party organization should take the lead in the actions proposed by Tang Cheng.
After talking to the man and woman in the backyard of the bookstore, Tang Cheng immediately understood what the Shanghai underground party organization meant, so he chose to interrupt the meeting. After Tang Cheng left, the tea shop owner who was still staying in the backyard of the bookstore was a little disappointed. Based on the conversation just now, he believed that Tang Cheng was definitely not a spy sent by the enemy, and he believed that if he followed what Tang Cheng proposed According to the plan, the Shanghai underground party organization can definitely obtain a batch of weapons and ammunition for free.
But now, everything is in vain. Looking at Tang Cheng's expression when he left just now, the tea shop owner knows that this cooperation seems to be impossible to continue. "Old Han, you are too hasty! The action plan was originally proposed by others, and we don't need anyone from our side to participate in the specific action! You don't even think about it. If it were you, you would have to go through life and death alone. Are you willing to perform specific actions and obey our commands?"
The middle-aged man, who was called Lao Han by the tea shop owner, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a slight frown. "Old Hu, why are you speaking for outsiders! How can we be controlled by others in such a big operation! What if the operation fails and we are involved afterwards? The superiors did not say that they must have full authority to command this operation. But the identity of the other party is mysterious, shouldn't we be more careful?" Lao Han's words were so confident that the tea shop owner couldn't find the right words to refute for a moment.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now! After you reported the situation to your superiors, your superiors have already arranged manpower to investigate the Japanese military dock. I believe that news will come back soon. As long as we have a grasp of the situation at the Japanese military dock, we can confirm it. Whether the other party's action is possible or not, it is useless no matter how much we say now." Old Han was not in a good mood. Tangcheng came and left suddenly. Old Han still has many questions that have not been answered. .
The tea shop owner didn't know that there was one thing that Lao Han didn't say, and that was that the Shanghai underground party organization had been doubting Tang Cheng's identity. When they agreed to meet with Tang Cheng, the Shanghai underground party organization had already used the radio to contact their superiors. Check Tangcheng’s identity. Tang Cheng, whose identity is mysterious, knows the tea house and can accurately speak the secret code for contact. If Tang Cheng's identity is not confirmed, the consequences will definitely not be something that Shanghai's underground party organization can bear.
Based on all these circumstances, the Shanghai underground party organization was cautious. However, Tang Cheng did not understand the Shanghai underground party organization's caution. He just felt that the other party did not believe him. Tang Cheng was used to living alone, so once he felt that the Shanghai underground party organization was not a good teammate, Tang Cheng chose to leave immediately, thus severing contact with the Shanghai underground party organization. After leaving the bookstore, Tang Cheng did not return to his residence immediately, but wandered around the French Concession.
After coming to Shanghai for many days, the gifts I bought for my family had already been sent back to Chongqing through Hans's channel. At this moment, I was just wandering aimlessly in Tangcheng, but I didn't have the slightest desire to shop. After walking through two streets in succession, Tang Cheng walked into a cafe on the street and chose a seat by the window to sit down. While drinking fragrant coffee, Tang Cheng looked through the subscriptions in the cafe. newspaper. Tang Cheng obviously enjoyed this leisurely life, especially when he saw news of the attack in the French Concession published in the newspaper.
According to Tangcheng's understanding of the Japanese, the face-conscious Japanese would not allow this matter to be reported. Unfortunately, foreign-owned newspapers in the concession were not subject to Japanese control. Through the street-facing window of the cafe, Tang Cheng, who was in a happy mood, looked at the situation on the street outside the cafe. Compared with yesterday, the number of suspicious people on the streets in the French Concession continued to increase. Tang Cheng stayed in this cafe for almost 2 hours before getting up and leaving. He had new ideas in his mind and was anxious to return to his residence.
The meeting with the Shanghai underground party organization did not go well. Tang Cheng quickly forgot about the incident when he returned to his residence. After briefly checking and maintaining commonly used firearms, Tang Cheng began to recharge his batteries and wait for nightfall. If Tang Cheng wants to raid the Japanese dock warehouse, he must first divert the attention of the Special High School. While killing time in the cafe, Tang Cheng has a good idea in his mind.
As soon as it got dark, Hans called from the restaurant office and said that he had helped Tang Cheng find out the relevant situation and asked Tang Cheng to go to the restaurant to meet with him to discuss in detail. Tang Cheng, who already had plans for the evening, rejected Hans's request to go there immediately on the phone, saying only that he would go there to meet Hans tomorrow morning. "Tang, tell me the truth. If you don't come to the restaurant to meet me, will something happen again tonight?" Hans was thoughtful and immediately guessed from Tang Cheng's words why Tang Cheng refused to meet him. reason.
Tang Cheng didn't hesitate at all, but he couldn't tell Hans the truth on the phone, so he could only speak politely. "I want to go to bed early tonight, so we'd better meet tomorrow! Besides, it's not safe during this time in the concession, and I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I go out at night!" Tang Cheng said tactfully on the phone, but Hans on the other end of the phone But he didn’t believe the reasons given by Tang Cheng at all. Fortunately, Hans did not continue to ask, otherwise, Tang Cheng really didn't know how to explain.
Tang Cheng hung up the phone and started packing his equipment bag, hiding things he wouldn't need tonight under the bed in the bedroom. Tang Cheng, who simply put on a facial disguise, stood in front of the mirror and checked repeatedly. He found that there were no flaws, and then he left the residence. At night, the French Concession looks much more depressed than it did some time ago. Shots have been fired from time to time in the past few days, making the security environment in the French Concession much worse. Chinese people living in the French Concession rarely go out at night unless necessary.
There were fewer Chinese people going out at night in the concession, and there were a lot more foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes. After leaving their residence in Tangcheng, they just walked through one street and met several waves of foreigners in succession. In the French Concession at night, there were indeed fewer plainclothes agents seen everywhere during the day, but there were more gang members wearing short shirts on the streets. Tang Cheng was walking on the street as if nothing had happened. When he encountered gang members staring at him, Tang Cheng didn't care.
Many gang members in the concession secretly helped the Japanese and relied on the support of the Japanese. Sometimes even the patrol house in the concession had nothing to do with these gang members. Tang Cheng is dispatched tonight. The main target is these gang members who secretly help the Special High School in the concession. He wants to use this matter to completely anger the Shanghai Special High School.
