The middle-aged man who was fixed on the wooden frame was covered in blood and looked like he had lost consciousness. However, after hearing the gunshot, the middle-aged man managed to raise his head and looked towards Tangcheng. Tang Cheng didn't talk nonsense. After shooting the plainclothes Zhongtong who fell on the ground, he immediately exited the room because there was another room on the opposite side of the passage. However, to Tang Cheng's expectation, there was no Zhongtong plainclothes in this room, only a short man tied to a wooden stake with a hemp rope.
"Don't ask anything, don't say anything, I'm here to save you!" Tang Cheng, masked in black scarf, whispered in a hoarse voice, and then used a short knife to cut the hemp rope binding the short man. The eyes of the short man who was suddenly rescued were full of vigilance and caution. From the moment he was arrested, he never thought about the chance of being rescued. Out of the caution of an underground party member, he did not trust Tang Cheng, especially when Tang Cheng was still covering his face.
Tang Cheng also knew that the other party might not believe him easily, so Tang Cheng ignored the other party's reaction. After cutting the hemp rope with a short knife, he just urged the other party to follow him out of the room. "You guys wait here first, I'll go up and check the situation first." Next to the ladder below the entrance of the dungeon, Tang Cheng lowered the middle-aged man who had not yet woken up from his shoulders. After explaining to the short man, he went He quickly moved up the ladder to the bottom of the iron plate.
Tang Cheng did not lift the iron plate immediately. Instead, he turned his head and pressed against the iron plate above his head, listening carefully to what was going on outside. After more than a dozen breaths, until Tang Cheng confirmed that there was no movement outside, he quickly lifted the iron plate above his head. Tang Cheng quickly climbed up from the dungeon on the ladder. The situation in the yard was no different from before he entered the dungeon. According to Tang Cheng's previous plan, the Central Plains plainclothes in this courtyard must also be cleaned up.
But now, Tang Cheng chose to change his original plan. If he could quietly take away the two underground party members in the dungeon, he would not have to clean up the Central Unification agents in the yard. The short man who was full of suspicion in the dungeon was still on high alert at this time. His companion was unconscious. He had not slept for two days and he was just holding on, so he chose to wait and see what would happen. Just when he was thinking wildly, he came out of the dungeon and went down the ladder.
"You go up first, I will take him to follow you." Tang Cheng knew that if he wanted to send away these two underground party members safely, he had to race against time now, so after getting off the ladder, Tang Cheng He immediately urged the short man to hurry up. The short man had already suffered several rounds of torture. Although he looked like he could still hold on, his actual physical strength was less than one-tenth of his usual strength. Fortunately, Tang Cheng, who was following him, came to help, otherwise the short man would not have been able to climb out of the dungeon.
The short man who came out of the dungeon entrance took a greedy breath of fresh air. If it weren't for the reminder from Tang Cheng who came up later, he would have just wanted to lie down on the ground and relax completely. How to leave safely with two grown men in the enemy's territory? If it were anyone else, they would definitely be scratching their heads in embarrassment. But Tang Cheng was not an ordinary person. After resetting the sack pile, he saw that the short man had no strength to get up from the ground. He simply gritted his teeth, pulled the short man up from the ground, and carried him on his back. on the shoulders.
Tang Cheng originally carried the comatose middle-aged man on his shoulders, and now he was carrying this short man on one shoulder. The short man who was pulled up from the ground by Tang Cheng was about to remind Tang Cheng to take out the ladder from the dungeon, but he didn't want to be carried directly on his shoulders by Tang Cheng. Before entering the backyard of the oil mill, Tang Cheng had already thought of the route and method of leaving, so he ignored the gestures of the short man on his shoulders and just carried the two of them quickly toward the corner gate of the backyard of the oil mill.
The corner door in the backyard of the oil mill was used to transport raw materials. Not only was the door latch inserted, but it also had a copper lock the size of a fist. Tang Cheng walked to the corner gate, first listened to the movement outside the corner gate, then held the copper lock with his hand, and suddenly used force to break the copper lock. After a few breaths, Tang Cheng quietly carried the two of them out of the backyard of the oil mill. When Tang Cheng left, he deliberately did not close the corner door. There was a slight gap in the corner door, and it was obvious that someone was going out from here.
Tang Cheng walked eastward along the street behind Youfang. After crossing two streets in a row, Tang Cheng stopped on the side of the street and put down the two people on his shoulders. "I can only send you here!" As Tang Cheng whispered, he put a flashlight into the short man's hand. "After I leave, you start counting until you reach sixty. Then use this flashlight to send a signal over there. Someone will come to pick you up. Remember, the signal is one long and two short. Don't make a mistake. Got it!"
Tang Cheng's speech was not too fast, and every word was clearly heard by the short man. Before the short man could speak secretly, Tang Cheng had already turned around and left. The short man who watched Tang Cheng leave actually wanted to know Tang Cheng's identity. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng's face was always covered with a black scarf, and he spoke in a deliberately hoarse voice. This showed that he was deliberately concealing his identity. . Tang Cheng, who had disappeared into the night, had not actually gone far. Tang Cheng did not want to cause more trouble for the two people he had finally rescued.
I don’t know if the short man counted to sixty, but Tang Cheng, who was far away in the shadows of the street, soon saw the flash of the flashlight. According to Tang Cheng's instructions before leaving, the short man used a flashlight to send out one long and two short signals. Sitting on the street, he soon heard a rush of footsteps in front of him. When the person came closer, the short man, who had been on high alert, finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he had recognized the person.
After successfully rescuing two people arrested by the Chongqing underground party organization and sending them out safely, Tang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the two short men being taken away by their companions from a distance, standing in the shadows on the street. Tang Cheng, who was completely relaxed, did not stay here any longer, but left quickly. When he returned home, it was already past midnight. Tang Cheng, who was in a good mood, did not say anything and went to sleep in the study room in the backyard.
Early the next morning, Zhang Jianghe received a call and came to see Tang Cheng. He learned that Tang Cheng had slept in the study room in the backyard last night. Zhang Jianghe immediately became suspicious. It's a pity that he underestimated Tang Cheng's vigilance. When he found Tang Cheng in the backyard study, he first saw the table full of tools and sawdust. After a good sleep, Tang Cheng deliberately pretended to be sleepy. When Zhang Jianghe asked, Tang Cheng pointed at the messy table.
"It's not the two little ancestors at home who are making trouble! I had nothing to do the past two days, so I made a car model in the pavilion in the backyard! Now, the two little ancestors at home saw it and insisted that I give it to them. Make a big ship model, the kind that can move in the pond! I have been here since dinner yesterday, and I was busy working until midnight, so I just slept here." As he spoke, Tang Cheng lifted the cloth on the table , showed Zhang Jianghe the unstained log-colored ship model on the table.
Zhang Jianghe did not know that the ship model on the table had been made by Tang Cheng a few days ago. The excuse he made was just to be prepared, but he unexpectedly used it on Zhang Jianghe. Seeing the ship model on the table, Zhang Jianghe admired it and immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart. "I just received the news that a secret stronghold of the Central Command in the city was attacked. Two underground party members who were temporarily detained by them were rescued. The Central Command also lost many people."
When Zhang Jianghe was talking, Tang Cheng deliberately lowered his head and lit his cigarette to prevent Zhang Jianghe from seeing his expression. When Tang Cheng raised his head again, Zhang Jianghe did not see anything strange in Tang Cheng's expression. "The Zhongtong personnel are mixed, and something will happen to them! Since they can quietly rescue people and make the Zhongtong lose manpower, those who save people must not be ordinary people! But let me tell you, the city is looking forward to something happening to the Zhongtong There are quite a few people there, after all, the people in Zhongtong are used to being domineering when they go out and do things, so they are unpopular!"
Tang Cheng's words sounded full of irony, but Zhang Jianghe did not refute it, because the one who had the trouble was the Central Commander and had nothing to do with the Military Commander. At this moment, Zhang Jianghe did not know that this matter would cause a fuss. At noon, the bureau received a call from the Nan'an Villa. The chairman asked the military commander to help the central commander investigate the case. Although the bureau chief didn't show any impatience on the phone, he hated Zhongtong from the bottom of his heart.
But this was the chairman's intention, and this matter had already spread in the city in just one morning, which made the government look a bit ugly. The senior military commanders, who were about to have lunch after get off work, were gathered together for a temporary meeting. The content of the meeting was the chairman's order. Zhang Jianghe remained silent at the meeting. After the meeting, he was called to the office by the bureau chief, and then Zhang Jianghe expressed his attitude.
"Boss, this matter may be easy to handle or difficult to handle. Everything depends on the attitude of the Central Government!" Zhang Jianghe woke up the dreamer with one word, which was a wake-up call for the bureau. He then called Zhongtong, but seeing the attitude of Zhongtong, it seemed that he did not want the military to intervene in the matter. He was not upset when he encountered a weak position. Anyway, he had no intention of paying attention to the quality of Zhongtong.
Who knows, in the afternoon, there will be new changes in this matter. It is said that news came from within the Central Unification Committee that the Central Unification Committee has locked the target. This is the rumor, but no one knows who is being targeted by Zhongtong. Tangcheng, who is still staying here, is unmoved because he knows that this news may not be spread intentionally by Zhongtong. I want to fish in troubled waters.
