"Sit down, if you have something to say, sit down and speak slowly. "Zheng Yi vaguely felt that the result of coming to Hong Kong this time was likely to be the same as the worst speculation before he left.www.biquge.info

Cao Mancheng didn't dare to sit down, took out a cowhide envelope from his suit pocket, and explained to Zheng Yi apologetically: "Boss, two days before your arrival, two members of the Central Committee and a special commissioner of the Military Commission (Junwei) had already left Hong Kong for the mainland, and before leaving, they called me to a meeting, asking me to cooperate with your work as much as possible while doing a good job of liaison work......

"This is the instruction left by the commissioner of the military (junwei) before leaving, and I am entrusted to pass it on to you, you can take a look at it first."

Zheng Yi was silent for a moment, took the letter and took it out to read, Cao Mancheng and Song Ziqing glanced at each other, still standing in place, observing Zheng Yi's reaction worriedly.

After reading it, Zheng Yi closed his eyes and pondered for a while, his face was very ugly, he opened his eyes later, put away the letter, folded it carefully, put it in the inner pocket of his suit, and pointed to the sofa opposite to signal the two to sit down:

"I personally resolutely obey the decision of the Central Committee, and before I came to Hong Kong, I had already anticipated that there might be major changes, and I was fully mentally prepared for the instructions of the Military Commission (Junwei), and I can now express my attitude: I will continue to contribute my strength to the cause of the party and the people in my new post!"

Cao Mancheng couldn't bear to say: "Boss, we didn't expect such a big change...... To tell you the truth, we are very happy that the intelligence station is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, but after our Hong Kong Liaison Office was merged into the intelligence station, only the Huafeng Trading Company was handed over to you, and Comrade Xu Maofu no longer held the position of the most important intelligence liaison officer, which surprised us, how do you plan to carry out your work? ”

Zheng Yi shook his head slightly: "I haven't thought of what to do yet, it's imperative to take over Huafeng Trading Company first, it's just ...... After I took over Huafeng, do you have any other suitable places to work? ”

"Yes, there is also a small western-style building in the southern section of the newly expanded Prince Edward Road, which was bought by Comrade Maofu in early April, and is located between a high-end residential area and a commercial area.

After Song Ziqing finished answering, he saw that Zheng Yi was groaning and did not speak, so he thought about it and said in a low voice: "Boss, I'm afraid we won't be able to be together in the future, only Lao Cao and you will have one-line contact." ”

Zheng Yi smiled at Song Ziqing: "Don't worry, I can understand." ”

When Cao Mancheng saw Song Ziqing looking at him, he could only tell Zheng Yi stubbornly: "There is another thing, after receiving a secret telegram from you from Huhai nine days ago, I immediately reported to the commissioner the situation of Comrade Lai Dingbang's accidental arrest and acquittal, and the commissioner told me three days later that Comrade Lai Dingbang should be allowed to rest for a period of time, and the specific arrangements need to wait for further instructions. We didn't say this to Lai Dingbang himself, and we don't know how to say it, you see, ......."

"Is it to conduct a comprehensive examination of Comrade Lai Dingbang?" Zheng Yi asked unhappily.

Cao Mancheng hurriedly explained: "No, no! Comrade Lai Dingbang did not say this, everyone knows your identity, boss, Comrade Lai Dingbang was rescued by you from the prison in the French Concession, and no one doubts Comrade Lai Dingbang's revolutionary stance, and the reason why Comrade Lai Dingbang is temporarily allowed to rest for a period of time is because Comrade Lai Dingbang's identity is very likely to be exposed, otherwise Comrade Lai Dingbang would not have allowed Comrade Lai Dingbang to come to Hong Kong to settle down. ”

Zheng Yi pondered for a long time and asked, "What instructions does Chairman Zhou have?" ”

"Chairman Zhou did not come to Hong Kong, it is estimated that he will still stay in northern Jiangsu or Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places to preside over the work, three days later I will escort two comrades from Guangdong Province to Yangzhou, it is estimated that you should be able to see Chairman Zhou there, if you have a letter, please hand it over to me." Cao Mancheng replied.

Zheng Yi was silent, and after smoking a cigarette, he whispered: "I don't have a letter, and it's not safe for you to travel with a letter, help me convey a message: I ask the Junwei Commission to assign Xu Maofu and Lai Dingbang to the Quartermaster Department, and assist me in opening up the situation as soon as possible, so as to better raise funds for the central government and the Soviet area to purchase urgently needed medicines and various materials!" ”

Cao Mancheng nodded heavily: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely bring the words!" ”

Zheng Yi continued: "In two days I will move to No. 33 Boyson Street, west of the University of Hong Kong, the two-storey and semi-western-style building with a small garden is my private property, I bought it two years ago, I immediately applied for the installation of a telephone, if there is an emergency, you can go there to find me, or live temporarily." ”

"In addition, this place will be renovated, the first floor is the company's office, the second floor is occupied, Lai Dingbang and his family will live here temporarily, and the company name will continue to be retained as an ordinary contact point."

"Understood!"

Cao Mancheng and Song Ziqing replied in unison.

Zheng Yi looked at his watch: "Okay, I'll go back and settle down first, if there is anything, you can go directly to the Zheng Mansion to find me, I still have to live there for the past two days." ”

"In three days, Lai Dingbang and I will get Portuguese colonial passports, we all need to change our names and surnames, and start all over again.

Cao Mancheng nodded frequently, and sent Zheng Yi downstairs with Song Ziqing.

At the time of parting, Cao Mancheng sighed faintly: "I never thought that the organization would punish you so heavily, alas! ”

Zheng Yi patted Cao Mancheng on the shoulder: "What you said is not right, don't say it again in the future, I don't think this is a punishment, this is the need of the revolutionary cause, the only thing that I am a little reluctant is the brothers in the army, I don't know when I will be able to see each other again......"

……

……

Two hours later, when Zheng Yi returned home, he unexpectedly saw his father sitting on the sofa in the living room, and a handsome man about 25 years old with obvious mixed Chinese and Western characteristics sitting on the lower left hand.

Zheng Yi stepped forward to greet his father before he beckoned, bowed politely to the handsome man, and then explained to his father in a low voice:

"I've already done things when I go out in the morning, and I want to take out the shares of the shipping company and inject them into the real estate company, buy a piece of land in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, and take good care of the trading company that has not had much business since it opened, does my father think it is feasible?"

Zheng Lanting was overjoyed, knowing that his son had finally decided to stay: "Come on, come on!" Let me introduce to you, this is your Uncle He Shi's eldest son, named He Hongtao, and the passports of you and Xiao Lai were entrusted to your Brother He Shi. ”

Zheng Yi politely thanked the Chinese-Western-born and dignified He Hongtao in Cantonese: "I've seen Brother He Shi, my little brother has caused you trouble." ”

He Hongtao stood up enthusiastically: "I didn't expect Brother Xian's Cantonese to speak so well, it seems that our communication will not be a problem in the future." ”

Zheng Lanting laughed, and He Hongtao also sat down with a smile in Zheng Yi's respectful response, and continued to talk to Zheng Lanting in English.

Zheng Yi sat on the couch on the other side, feeling that He Hongtao's appearance seemed to be a little familiar, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly remembered the descendant of the He family, who was known as the Asian gambling king, and immediately understood that the uncle He Shishu that his father said was undoubtedly He Dong, the helmsman of the first prestigious family in Hong Kong and Macao, but I don't know how old the future Asian gambling king is this year?
