Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner in the direction of Tangcheng's plan. But what Tang Cheng didn't expect was that Xu Huanshan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, returned to Chongqing again and asked Tang Cheng to meet him immediately. After receiving a call from Xu Huanshan, Tang Cheng originally thought that Xu Huanshan's appearance was for his Burmese plan. But when he met Xu Huanshan in a teahouse in the north of the city, he discovered that Xu Huanshan was not here for the Myanmar plan, but to seek his help.
"Xiao Tang, we are old acquaintances. You must help with what I just said, otherwise they will be in trouble!" Xu Huanshan came to Chongqing this time to rescue several democrats who were secretly arrested by the Central Government. . According to the information passed on by insiders, these democrats are currently being secretly detained by the Central Committee in a safe house in the city. According to the plan of the top leaders of the Central Unification Committee, these secretly detained democrats will be transferred from Chongqing soon.
The Zhongtong originally had a secret prison in Geleshan that could be used to imprison these democrats. Unfortunately, it was attacked many times by Tangcheng and the Zhongtong has converted it into a training base. Therefore, the Chongqing underground party organization and Xu Huanshan are most worried about the transfer of these secretly detained democrats, because they do not know where these democrats will be detained after they are transferred. place.
Faced with such an emergency, Xu Huanshan could only think of Tangcheng. Tangcheng had sabotaged Zhongtong's last action in Jiangbei. Facing Xu Huanshan's anxious eyes, Tang Cheng pondered for a moment before speaking. "Please tell me the situation carefully first! I can't give you any guarantee until all the circumstances are clear, and I have to make it clear to you first. If this matter involves too much, I may refuse. You, I can’t let my family be implicated in this.”
What Tang Cheng said later sounded very unkind, but Xu Huanshan did not feel the slightest resentment towards Tang Cheng's words and attitude. For the next quarter of an hour, Tang Cheng did not speak, but calmly waited for Xu Huanshan's narration. After Xu Huanshan paused, Tang Cheng reached out and pinched his eyebrows while speaking to Xu Huanshan. "Your purpose is just to rescue those who are secretly detained by Zhongtong! There is no problem, I can do it alone!"
"What I'm worried about is, after the people are rescued, how do you transfer them out of Chongqing? The current situation in Chongqing looks calm, but in fact the water is very deep. Everyone in the city who is well-informed is waiting to see what happens. . All land and water transportation in and out of Chongqing are guarded by the army and plainclothes agents. These targets who were captured and secretly detained by the Central Government must have files established by the Central Government. If there are files, there will be corresponding photos and information. , big trouble!”
Tang Cheng's last sentence about "big trouble" actually summed up the difficulty of this matter, but Xu Huanshan said that these matters would be solved by Chongqing's underground party organizations, so Tang Cheng no longer struggled with this problem. "In this case, this matter will be much easier to handle! You provide the accurate detention address, and I will handle the rest personally. You only need to prepare the manpower in advance. The specific time and content of the operation will be determined by me. I will notify you then.”
After Tang Cheng thought about it secretly, he gave Xu Huanshan a clear answer. When the latter saw that Tang Cheng agreed to help, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground for the time being. That same afternoon, Tang Cheng received another call from Xu Huanshan. The other party didn't say much on the phone, but gave Tang Cheng an address and a phone number in code. The address Xu Huanshan gave was the place where the Zhongtong secretly detained those democrats, and the phone number was used to contact Xu Huanshan.
After going home for dinner, Tang Cheng was alone in the study room in the backyard. After repeatedly deducing the action steps, he took advantage of the cover of night to climb out of the back wall. He planned to investigate the situation of the detention point in advance. Due to the constant changes in the war ahead, the Japanese army's strength has begun to be stretched thin, and the Japanese army's bombing of Chongqing has long been suspended. Therefore, the curfew order issued by the government has long been invalidated, and the city of Chongqing at night seems to have regained its pre-war vitality.
Tang Cheng, who had put on facial camouflage and was wearing short clothes, moved eastward along the street with the help of passers-by's cover. Almost an hour later, Tang Cheng appeared in the east of the city. At this moment, a courtyard no more than a hundred meters away from him was the target of his investigation tonight. There were not many pedestrians in the street that Tang Cheng was in at the moment. Tang Cheng deliberately stood on the side of the street and lit a cigarette. Seeing that the man and woman in front of him had turned into a yard on the street, he immediately crossed the street. Got into the alley on the opposite street.
After a few breaths, Tang Cheng had already climbed up the street wall next to him. From a high position, he paid attention to the movement around him while moving forward along the street wall, and soon climbed up to the roof closest to him. According to the information provided by Xu Huanshan, the democrats that the Chongqing underground party organization was eager to rescue were imprisoned in the third courtyard in front. Tang Cheng, who had already reached the roof, did not move rashly to the roof of the third courtyard. Instead, he used the cover of night to observe the situation in the target courtyard from the roof of the next courtyard.
The Central Commander-in-Chief should have paid great attention to the democrats secretly detained here. In just half an hour, Tang Cheng, who was crouching on the roof next to him, saw from a distance several mobile sentries patrolling back and forth in the target yard. Moreover, in the shadow of the yard, Tang Cheng also found someone hiding there smoking. Tang Cheng judged that it should be a specially arranged fixed sentry. Tang Cheng, who was secretly glad in his heart, kept observing for more than 2 hours before quietly leaving.
After breakfast the next day, Tang Cheng locked himself in the office. He first drew the layout of the yard that was detected last night, and then began to repeatedly deduce the action steps. Tang Cheng didn't leave the office until lunch time. After entering the city, Tang Cheng found a shop with a phone and called Xu Huanshan in code. On the phone, Tang Cheng hinted to Xu Huanshan that he would take action tonight and needed Xu Huanshan's manpower to prepare the response.
Xu Huanshan obviously did not expect that Tang Cheng was planning to take action only one day later, but he just chose to believe in Tang Cheng. That night, the response personnel prepared by Xu Huanshan quietly appeared one street away from the Zhongtong safe house at the designated time in Tangcheng. Using the cover of night, they lined up two investigators and quietly turned along the street. When they suddenly saw a few people approaching from the street in front. The two scouts subconsciously wanted to hide, but they immediately discovered that the figures coming over looked a little strange.
The two men who casually took out their pistols simply retreated to the intersection of the street to hide. After the people coming from the opposite side approached, the two of them realized that the people coming from the opposite side were the targets they wanted to rescue tonight. The two of them immediately stopped caring about that and came out of the hiding place and walked quickly towards the other party. The few people who had just escaped from the Zhongtong safe house were startled when they suddenly saw someone approaching from the opposite street. Before they could turn around in panic, the two people coming from the opposite side had already whispered their names.
After learning that the two gunmen who came from the street were operatives of the Chongqing underground party who came to rescue themselves and others, these democrats were somewhat relieved. But when they reached the intersection and were about to turn left, one of the democrats suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the street behind him, and whispered in his mouth. "Let's just leave. What should we do with your comrade inside?" This democrat asked. People from Chongqing's underground party organization naturally couldn't reveal Tang Cheng's identity, so they could only evade the other party in vague terms.
These rescued democrats did not know at this moment that when they left the yard and came towards the Chongqing underground party organization's response personnel, Tang Cheng was following them to protect them. Seeing with my own eyes that they had merged with the Chongqing underground party members, hidden in the shadows of Tangcheng on the street, I turned around and went back to the yard to clean up all the traces left behind. What Xu Huanshan and the others originally thought was difficult, here in Tangcheng, it was just a matter of putting out more smoke, which was not troublesome at all.
Early the next morning, the news had already spread in the city, and Xu Huanshan also learned the news quickly through his internal network in Zhongtong. Xu Huanshan, who felt remorseful after learning that Tang Cheng had used smoky tricks last night, couldn't help but slap himself on the head. As the person who knows Tangcheng best among the underground party organizations, Xu Huanshan has forgotten that Tangcheng has a master with a background in martial arts. How could he not know some martial arts tricks?
But no matter what, the democrats who were secretly arrested by the Central Government were all rescued this time, and the tasks assigned by their superiors were successfully completed. At this time, Tangcheng received a call from the hospital from the bureau chief, also with the purpose of asking about this matter. "Can't you stay well in the hospital? No matter what happens to Zhongtong, it has nothing to do with us! Anyway, I don't want to have anything to do with them at all."
On the phone, Tang Cheng did not admit that what happened last night was related to him, and there were no obvious loopholes in his words. The bureau officer on the other end of the phone was also suspicious at this moment, thinking that what happened last night really had nothing to do with Tangcheng! According to his understanding of Tangcheng, that boy is definitely not someone who dares to do anything, especially when it comes to matters related to Zhongtong, and Tangcheng will not default on his debts.
