Tang Shubai rolled down the window and leaned his weight against the door, with a little expectation. After waiting for a full minute, he finally shook his head regretfully and started the car by himself.

Li Fengzhu also turned around, and there were a lot of thoughts in his chest, which was strange for a while. After staggering for less than two steps, she couldn't help but ask to herself: "Who will he pay tribute to?"

Tang Shubai, who drove out dozens of meters, suddenly slapped the steering wheel and laughed alone for a while. took advantage of the air to gently brush his hair in the rearview mirror, and threw a flying eye at himself proudly: "Sure enough, there is no one I can't see through!"

Li Fengzhu almost guessed Tang Shubai's purpose of bailing her and Chen Yanping, the only thing she didn't expect was that the seriousness she had never seen was completely disguised. Tang Shubai expected that Li Fengzhu would be more receptive to rigid communication than comfortable, at least when facing him. Therefore, he pretended to be deep along the way, and even his eyes were gloomy. As a result, the alliance was successfully concluded.

###

At about four o'clock, Li Fengzhu, who had been tossing all day, thought she could take a breath, but there was still an English manuscript waiting for her on the desk. The sooner you finish, the sooner the ticket money will be settled.

She made a cup of tea and held it with one hand, writing and writing with her right hand, but began to scribble on the manuscript paper. The words written are not handy, what consulates, Aoki, gangs, assassinations, Toyama, izakaya, Sakamoto Hayashito, Nozaki, court prosecutor's office, daily newspaper agency, sales soared......

These words are lined up in a row, and the more you look at them, the more mysterious they feel.

Li Fengzhu tried to rewrite it again, putting the consulate in the middle, and writing the other words in a circle. After it was written, a long solid line was drawn from the Daily News Agency to connect to the center. When I wanted to write again, I frowned and shook my head frequently. The relationship of other keywords to the consulate seems to be more of a speculation. Even the three secret agencies of Aoki, Toyama, and Nozaki do not have complete and detailed clues to prove that their superiors are the consulates, not some garrison army, gendarmerie or the like.

However, when they are written together, they are clearly inextricably linked.

What exactly is the central point?

Li Fengzhu raised his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Every face I have met in just a few days flashed on the white wall one by one.

"Don!" she narrowed slightly, and pronounced the last name in a low but firm voice. Immediately put down the pen, write "Tang" in the center, and then connect the keywords, it seems that every line can become a solid line. She suddenly had a thought, she couldn't always be unilaterally played by Tang Shubai. Taking advantage of his current difficulties, and taking advantage of his initiative to propose a banquet, he must think of a way to turn passive into active.

At this time, a voice came from afar: "The "Morning Post" phone call, transfer to the Ministry of Information Mi Sili. ”

It's a call from Haizhou!

Li Fengzhu's eyes flashed, and the whole person bounced up from the chair, eager to fly to the telephone: "Hello, I'm Li Fengzhu, who are you?"

"I'm Shi Chu. ”

A phone call woke her up to horrified scenes: Johnson's smirk, the invaded apartment, the plainclothes Japanese censorship, and the mixed newspaper office. Li Fengzhu obviously noticed that once a private matter climbed into his heart, not only did his heartbeat beat go fast and slow, but even his body temperature rose and dropped suddenly. A pair of feet seemed to have nowhere to go, and their hands were always twisting the telephone line uncontrollably.

I don't know if the person in the dark can see this, but if she could, she would have exposed too much information.

Li Fengzhu opened his eyes nervously, trying to make himself look relaxed. The first thing to do is to change your stance, slowly shift your weight away from your left foot, bend your knee, and pretend to take a natural step with your right foot. Then, rest your free hand on the edge of the table, buckle it and exert force inward, which can release the pressure and not make it easy for people to see the clues.

After her emotions were completely sorted out, she dared to continue: "I heard that you are the manager over there now, right?"

Shi Chu replied heartily: "I still prefer to continue to be your editor-in-chief." The words I want to bring to you are simple, it's good here, everything is fine. ”

Li Fengzhu couldn't hold the corners of his thousand-pound mouth, and before he spoke, he felt a little sour, and then he choked up a little: "I think it is necessary to transfer my family, as for what excuse to find......"

The response over there was decisive and crisp: "Okay, I'll help you out." I tried to create some contradictions in the rent increase, and quietly took the old lady out and squeezed my mother for a while. Of course, you also have to mention me to your family. By the way, you made this decision because...... Isn't it good?"

"I'm afraid it's not good. Li Fengzhu lowered his face, shook his head and said comfortingly, "But I have no choice but to stay up." ”

When Shi Chu made this call, he was holding a manuscript in his hand - "Jinmen of the Illegal Occupation Area Outside the Boundaries of the Great Powers", with him in the signature column in front and Li Fengzhu in the back. His eyes lowered slightly, and there was a similar manuscript on the table, which was "Haizhou in the Illegal Occupation Area Outside the Bounds of the Great Powers", and the signature was also included by Shi Chu. This series of reports, which has not been publicly disclosed for the time being, is exactly where the two of them have a heart-to-heart relationship.

The history of "Jinmen Times" is not short, Li Fengzhu is not the first person to use his position to sort out the problem of illegal encroachment, Shi Chu is earlier than her, and even many seniors have done such things. Very few of these people can quit unscathed, and the fate of the article is always inevitable. The most recent destruction was because Shi Chu was caught by the British when he sneaked into the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry to take photos and store evidence. So the negatives in his camera, and even his entire apartment, were destroyed. After fleeing for more than a month, he quietly sneaked back to Jinmen, tricked Li Fengzhu into a church, and told her all this.

Shi Chu's move was by no means casual, at that time, Li Fengzhu had just entered the industry, and his methods were jerky and full of loopholes. Many of the letters she sent about the tragic situation in the Northeast have been exposed countless times. There was a short "honeymoon" in Anglo-Japanese relations, and it is difficult to say what the consequences would have been if Johnson had found out that she was preparing to reveal the truth about the three eastern provinces. Fortunately, Shi Chu is a bony Chinese, and he has been secretly helping Li Fengzhu cover up. Until he no longer has the ability to protect this subordinate, he is still in suspense about this matter, and even if he is in danger, he will come back to advise her.

Li Fengzhu, who learned the truth, immediately said that she would accept the lesson and slowly cultivate her camouflage ability to help Shi Chu restore the destroyed report. Inevitably, before Li Fengzhu left, the two never contacted directly, and all letters were relayed by several pictorial galleries in Tianjin. After completing this work, they no longer have to cross paths to avoid suspicion. The plan went on seamlessly, until Li Fengzhu took the initiative to come up with the matter and forced Johnson to retract the false report.

She dared to gamble on this, although the confidence came from the fact that the original was no longer in her, and the evidence of her correspondence with Shi Chu had long been destroyed. But since you say it, you have to consider the word "just in case".

Gambling on your own life, success or failure is your own business. The only thing I'm sorry for in this matter is Shi Chu. Therefore, when Li Fengzhu was anxious about family affairs, he was the one who didn't want to trouble, but he was the only one who was most at ease.

"Am I too impulsive, lack a little patience, and if my rash showdown makes your hard work go to waste, then I ......"

Shi Chu shook his head and briefly talked about his experience in Shanghai over the years: "I have understood the causes and consequences of this matter, and I can fully understand your approach. If you had asked me for help at the time, I would have given you the same advice. You must know that Haizhou also has a concession, and I have not acted much here, so I can't escape for a long time, and it has nothing to do with you. A while ago, they followed me more and more frequently, which made me very uneasy. I'm guessing they're planning something. But one day, the crisis was fading. Perhaps because you said that you had secretly kept copies of this report in various important cities, they were eager to keep it alive so that they could get the exact information we had, which gave me a respite. ”

Although Li Fengzhu listened like that, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, even if he was blessed by misfortune, he was in trouble......

Shi Chu suggested to her again: "By the way, I have an opportunity here, and I can recommend you to work at the newspaper in Changsha." It's safe for the time being, and the foreign forces involved in it are far less numerous and miscellaneous than Jinmen, so your family will live better if you go there. ”

"Really?" there must be a heartbeat, but Li Fengzhu couldn't readily agree, "After hearing this, I naturally want to go." But...... You should have seen in the newspaper that I am tracking Ma Shouhua's case, and it can be said that I have gained a lot, and this harvest is not limited to my career. You know very well what kind of person I am, and I have been living a very conflicted life since I got out of the customs. My experience has taught me that I have to step up and do something for my country. But what to do, I do everything with people staring, foreigners staring at me, Chinese don't staring. Talking about anti-Japanese resistance and salvation, as long as they show a trace of backbone, people inside and outside will try their best to extinguish all this. So for a while, I became hesitant and afraid. Later, because of his isolation, he even doubted his original intentions. When do you think the Chinese will be able to fight back? I think it should be the day when slogans are turned into actions. But if everyone is afraid of wolves and tigers like me, this business will not succeed. ”

"Don't be presumptuous, I can read your strength in your writings. ”

Li Fengzhu shook his head and said frankly: "It's very powerful when it's not very about life. That's why I'm going to confess to you. I always deduce that the child is helpless, and it will be difficult for me to let go of my hands and feet for the anti-Japanese resistance until he becomes an adult. It is also thanks to this work that Ma Shouhua's experience has made me reflect on the fact that those who go to the battlefield are not old or young in their families? No. Not to mention, the Ma Mansion family has been living under gunpoint, but has he succumbed? No, doesn't he feel sorry for his family? Definitely not, he has realized that 40,000 people are feeling sorry for his family, so no matter how difficult it is, he has to choose the common people in the world. This is the meaning of the existence of heroes, and if a nation wants to achieve victory, it must set such an example and tell the people, look, in the face of the national crisis, each of us must live like a hero, so that we can return to our hometown! I once taught others that we can't always want tall people to come out when we encounter problems, and when we are willing to believe in ourselves, victory is just around the corner. I don't want to just talk big and not do practical things, I hope that my maneuvering between the various concessions can be more valuable. ”

Shi Chu understood her next step, and couldn't help but sweat for her: "But you ......"
