The driver, who was concentrating on driving, did not hear anything unusual in Tang Cheng's words, but Zhang Jianghe's eyes lit up because of Tang Cheng's words. yes! The people in the tavern had evacuated last night. Since Zhongtong could not arrest anyone, they had no conclusive evidence. They could not even prove that the tavern was related to the underground party organization! Since the tavern has not been really exposed, there is no problem of being implicated. The more this happens, the calmer he has to be.
Tang Cheng got off the car halfway, but instead of rushing to the military camp immediately, he quietly returned to the small street. Looking at the Zhongtong plainclothes busy at the street entrance from a distance, Tang Cheng, who had already put on a facial disguise, walked south along the street. When he and Zhang Jianghe stopped here at the street entrance, Tang Cheng noticed that among the crowd watching the excitement not far away, there was the figure of He Kunhe, the owner of the tavern. He came back here again for the sake of the tavern owner. Tang Cheng wanted him to leave Chongqing first.
The fact that Zhongtong can keep an eye on the tavern means that the tavern owner has already hung up his portrait with Zhongtong. To put it more clearly, the appearance of the tavern owner has been registered with Zhongtong. If the tavern owner continues to stay in Chongqing, he might still be Zhang Jianghe's contact person. Once his whereabouts are locked again by the Central Government, this will be extremely dangerous for Zhang Jianghe. Tang Cheng will not directly help Zhang Jianghe, but he cannot sit back and watch Zhang Jianghe be surrounded by danger. Therefore, the tavern owner must leave Chongqing.
Tang Cheng walked all the way south along the street, and when he reached the middle of the street, he spotted the figure of the tavern owner. Although the other party also changed his clothes and had a beard under his nose, Tang Cheng clearly remembered the characteristics of the other party's figure when he walked. The first time he saw the tavern owner, Tang Cheng immediately observed the surrounding situation, but did not see He Kun. Could it be that these two people are separated? With doubts in his mind, Tang Cheng slowed down and followed an aunt.
After a few breaths, Tang Cheng suddenly saw He Kun, whom he had followed last night, carrying a paper bag and coming out of the shop on the opposite street. Seeing He Kun appear, Tang Cheng's attention shifted from He Kun to the shop he just came out of. Tang Cheng, who was alone, had no way of tracking two targets at the same time, so he could only remember the shop's sign and then return his attention to the tavern owner.
Carrying the paper bag, He Kun crossed the street and continued to walk with the tavern owner. However, the two did not communicate verbally, giving the impression that they did not know each other. Tang Cheng did not follow very closely. He used the passers-by in front of him as cover and followed the two from a distance. About half an hour later, Tang Cheng followed the two of them to Nancheng. Tangcheng is not unfamiliar to Nancheng. After all, he led the action team and arrested many people here.
Watching He Kun and the tavern owner from a distance walk into the teahouse on the street one after another, Tang Cheng stopped, looked around, turned left at the intersection, and went to the street on the left. The action team also had an intelligence shop here. When Tang Cheng came in, the shopkeeper didn't say anything, but immediately took Tang Cheng to the backyard of the shop. A few minutes later, when Tang Cheng came out of the store, he had already changed his clothes. Just because he changed his clothes, it didn't mean that there would be no problems. When he returned to Tangcheng on the same street as before, he didn't immediately enter the teahouse.
The exposure of the tavern has made Tang Cheng alert. Last night's action was considered a risk. Tang Cheng did not want to implicate his family because of a small oversight. After looking around to confirm that there was nothing unusual in this street, Tang Cheng slowly walked into the teahouse. Unfortunately, he was recognized as soon as he entered. Who wouldn’t know the famous Town Tiger who hangs around Nancheng all year round? Tang Cheng did not show any abnormality. After greeting the people he knew, he sat next to a familiar leader Pao Ge.
The tavern owner and He Kun were sitting in the corner of the teahouse. When Tang Cheng entered, they saw him immediately. He Kun didn't know Tang Cheng, and was still dissatisfied that a young man like Tang Cheng knew so many people in the teahouse. But the tavern owner knew Tang Cheng, so he was very surprised by Tang Cheng's appearance. "This man's name is Tang Cheng. He is the captain of the action team and has a very close relationship with the military commander." The words of the tavern owner made He Kun look surprised.
The action team had a good reputation in the city, and the Chongqing underground party organization also paid attention to the action team. Later, it was discovered that this action team was specifically targeting Japanese and puppet spies, so the Chongqing underground party organization stopped paying attention to the action team. Hearing the owner of the tavern say that this young man was the famous Tangcheng, He Kun couldn't help but feel a little envious. "Why did he come here?" He Kun, who came to his senses, immediately returned to his usual rationality and alertness, and began to subconsciously pay attention to the situation in the teahouse.
"Don't be nervous. Tang Cheng has a very good relationship with many robe brothers in the city. Didn't you see him sitting over there as soon as he came in? I heard that many robe brothers in the city are secretly helping the action team Collecting clues about Japanese spies! Maybe Tang Cheng came here just to find Brother Pao here to help search for clues!" The owner of the tavern originally also suspected that the purpose of Tang Cheng's appearance here was just to see Tang Cheng As soon as he entered the door, he sat at the table with the bald man, and that's when he made such a judgment.
The tavern owner didn't know that Tang Cheng had been paying attention to the two of them out of the corner of his eyes, and found that both of them were secretly observing him to varying degrees. Tang Cheng, who was laughing in his heart, then turned his attention to the door of the teahouse. After about a cigarette, two more people came in from outside the teahouse. One of them was Xu Huanshan, an old acquaintance from Tangcheng. Seeing an old acquaintance appear, Tang Cheng almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. He originally thought that the two tavern owners came here for important matters, but he didn't expect that they were here to see Xu Huanshan.
Tang Cheng didn't want Xu Huanshan to resume contact now, so after Xu Huanshan and the tavern owner sat down together, Tang Cheng got up and left the teahouse. Seeing Tang Cheng get up and leave, the tavern owner and He Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the action team was only targeting Japanese and puppet spies in the city, both of them were worried that Tangcheng would suddenly attack them. After all, Tangcheng had a close relationship with the military, and who knew what unpredictable things might happen.
Xu Huanshan was a little depressed at the moment. After learning that Tang Cheng was here just now, when he turned to look at the door of the teahouse, he didn't even see Tang Cheng's back. After leaving the teahouse, Tang Cheng went back to the military camp. Zhang Jianghe, who had originally rushed to the military command headquarters for a meeting, had already returned to the military camp before him. "I went to find a few familiar Pao brothers to inquire about the situation! The city is in chaos now, and they, the Jianghu people, are the most well-informed!" When asked by Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng gave this answer.
When he learned that today's meeting of the military commander had been rescheduled due to the temporary absence of the bureau chief, Tang Cheng couldn't help but murmur to himself, because in his impression, the bureau chief was one of the most punctual people in the military commander's headquarters. Tang Cheng, who was suspicious, did not take the initiative to ask Zhang Jianghe because he guessed that there must be important matters that could not be solved by the bureau, otherwise he would never notify the meeting to reschedule at short notice. Secretly paying attention to Zhang Jianghe from the corner of his eye, he suddenly felt that Zhang Jianghe might also want to know why the bureau chief changed the time of the meeting at short notice.
The truth of the matter came quickly. Within half an hour, Zhang Jiang and his acquaintances at the military command headquarters called. Zhang Jianghe chatted with the person on the other end of the phone for a long time before finally hanging up. Tang Cheng looked at Zhang Jianghe with a bad expression. "An acquaintance at the headquarters said that the director was suddenly called to the South Bank Villa, and it seemed to be related to the recent actions of the Central Government." Zhang Jianghe was dubious about the news conveyed by the acquaintances at the headquarters, because he knew that the Central Government had nothing to do with the so-called recent actions. Big move.
But when Tang Cheng heard this, he was shocked because he had just met his old acquaintance Xu Huanshan today. Tang Cheng didn't know Xu Huanshan's specific position within the underground party organization, but he knew that Xu Huanshan was definitely not as simple as an ordinary member. If what Zhang Jianghe just said is true, maybe the so-called big operation of the Central Government is related to Xu Huanshan. Tang Cheng, who was thinking this in his heart, still had a calm expression on the surface, just chatting with Zhang Jianghe who was also murmuring in his heart.
It wasn't until after get off work that the headquarters reported that the bureau chief was still at the South Bank Villa and had not returned. Only then did Zhang Jianghe realize that the news he had obtained before was probably true. Something big has happened. It's a pity that the tavern has been exposed and I can't contact the tavern owner at all, so there is no way to send this news to the organization. After work, Tang Cheng used the excuse to buy cooked food, and separated from Zhang Jianghe, he went to the east of the city alone.
When Xu Huanshan was discovered in the teahouse during the day, Tang Cheng secretly used system skills to lock Xu Huanshan first. Now it was only because of the prompts given by the system that he could so easily confirm that Xu Huanshan was in the east of the city. Xu Huanshan's current location was in the backyard of a shop in the east of the city. When Tang Cheng found this place, Xu Huanshan was in the side room in the backyard, asking the tavern owner some things.
I have found Tangcheng here. At this moment, he still didn’t know that it was precisely because of his intervention that Xu Huanshan, who was originally guiding the guerrillas in southern Sichuan, suddenly appeared in Chongqing. The tavern is a secret transportation station specially arranged by superiors to maintain contact with Zhang Jianghe. Everyone in the tavern is a member of the underground party, but there is no direct contact between them and the Chongqing underground party organization. Even though He Kun and the others believed that the tavern owner was one of their own, according to organizational procedures, they had to conduct an identity investigation on the tavern owner.
