Chapter 100: Late Return

"Ah......h

"Are you trying to scare me to death, Xiaohui, sitting alone in the living room without turning on the light or making a sound?" Luo Yao returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he turned on the light.

I saw a man sitting in the living room, blinded by a black light.

"Pretend, I'm not at home, you still can't hear me?" Gong Hui's nose tube pulled a long note and snorted.

"When I go home this time, I have to listen to the situation at home first, are you tired?" Luo Yao said, "If you haven't eaten, if you haven't eaten, I will bring you some pastries." ”

"You smell like a woman, and what about your coat?"

"Xiaohui, are you nervous, how can I smell of a woman?" Luo Yao put down the pastry and said tirelessly, "The things are here for you, do you like to eat them or not." ”

After speaking, Luo Yao took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

"Xu Jihong found some clues through technical means, that is, the phone call made by 'Lin Miao' in the department store, and the real number may be found." Luo Yaodao.

"Isn't that an empty number?" Gong Hui was surprised.

"It's an empty number, but that call did go out, in fact, someone set up a device to transfer this call to another number, and when we called this number again, we could only find that it was an empty number." Luo Yao said, "Xu Jihong has already studied the principle of this converter, and is doing experiments, and there should be results soon." ”

"So, we're going to find the mastermind behind it?"

"Well, if it goes well, it should be fast." Luo Yao nodded, "This weekend, you will accompany me to the Twilight Coffee House again." ”

"Do you suspect Lao Mu?"

"Don't you doubt it too?" Luo Yao said, "It's not early, rest early, tomorrow weekend, there are quite a lot of things." ”

"Daddy called, he wants to go back to Jiangcheng in two days, saying that he might summon us?"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Luo Yao asked

"I don't know, I didn't know until I saw it, it is estimated that it is related to the next stage of our incubation work in the direct group after the fall of Jiangcheng." Gong Hui analyzed.

"Jiangcheng District has also begun to be grouped into parts, and it seems that the above is planning to take the initiative to give up Jiangcheng." Luo Yao nodded, he had already guessed this, after all, there were all kinds of signs that the old man took the initiative to withdraw when he couldn't hold Jiangcheng.

What Jiangcheng can't hold is at most to consume the time and military strength of the Japanese army, which is the old man's strategy of "exchanging time for space".

"Before giving up, there will definitely be a time when the walls are cleared, and the materials and resources must not be left for the Japanese to use." Luo Yaodao.

"Will the Japanese have another massacre like Jinling?"

"It's hard to say, this time the troops who attacked Jiangcheng were the troops who attacked Jinling at the beginning, especially the Sixth Division, which was full of evil in the massacre, and no one can guarantee that these beasts with beast faces and hearts will come again in Jiangcheng." Luo Yao knew that the purpose of the Japanese army to capture Jiangcheng was to force the Nationalist Government to surrender, and if he raised the butcher's knife frantically again, he was afraid that it would backfire, and no one at the top of the Japanese army dared to take this risk.

"Lao Qin, can you make me a bowl of noodles?"

"Huh?"

"Can't you do it?" Gong Hui's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she asked timidly.

For no reason, Luo Yao felt a chill, and quickly took back the foot that went up the stairs: "Okay, don't be coquettish, I'll do it, can't I do it?" ”

……

"Boss Mu, I'm here to disturb again."

"Mr. Qin is polite, you and Miss Hui don't bother every day." Lao Mu is still so elegant, intellectual, and meticulous.

"Well, we'll take care of your business." Luo Yao smiled, "How is it, how is business okay these days?" ”

Lao Mu smiled: "That's it, the Japanese are about to call, and those who have money are ready to run away, and I want to change hands." ”

"Yes, this is in the concession, even if the Japanese come, they don't dare to enter the concession at will, why should Boss Mu worry?" Luo Yao said in surprise.

"The Japanese are coming, and if we Chinese can live a good life, this concession will be remembered by the Japanese sooner or later, and it is better to find a safe place than to stay."

"There aren't many safe places now, has Boss Mu figured out where to go?" Gong Hui smiled slightly, took a sip of coffee and asked.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

"I just got a job in Jiangcheng, Xiaohui is all following me, we are all ordinary people, I don't think the Japanese will be too embarrassed by us people." Luo Yao said, "So, we don't plan to leave for the time being, let's stay first, and then take a look." ”

"I originally planned to go to Xiangcheng, but now it seems that Xiangcheng is not necessarily safe, so I can only go southwest." Lao Mu sighed and said.

"Oh, Xiangcheng is a good place, Yuelu Academy is one of the four great academies in ancient China, it is a holy place for ancient scholars." Luo Yao said, "If I have a chance, I must go and see it." ”

"Two, I'm sorry, I still have guests over there, don't accompany me."

"You're busy, you're busy." Luo Yao said busily.

……

I saw Lao Mu welcome a young man in his thirties, and there was a small room inside, which should be a lounge or office place.

Although separated by a door.

But Luo Yao could still hear what the people inside were saying.

After about ten minutes, Lao Mu sent the young man out, his face did not change much from before, but his eyes were a little gloomy.

"Xiaohui, this old Mu wants to exchange the Twilight Coffee House, the price is 50,000 oceans, and the other party will give a maximum of 10,000, and the price is not negotiated."

"He's going to sell the Twilight Cafe?" Gong Hui was surprised.

"It seems that he really doesn't want to stay in Jiangcheng anymore." Luo Yao pursed his lips slightly, "Leaving at this time, although it is human nature, it is too coincidental." ”

"What then?"

"Buy it and use it as one of our strongholds in the French Concession." Luo Yaodao.

"Buy it, will you run it?" Gong Hui was surprised.

"I can make poison, can coffee still pour me?" Luo Yao smiled, "When the time comes, how about you become the boss?" ”

"Me?"

"You are the most idle one now, several of them have cover identities, but you don't have one, isn't it very suitable for you to be the boss?"

"But I don't know how to do those things?"

"You're the boss, just find someone to come back and do it, as long as the taste is acceptable, the business is not bad." Luo Yao said, "However, let's get this old Mu done first." ”

"Don't you think it's a ......"

"Well, I know what I'm doing." Luo Yao nodded, "Let Gu Yuan come forward tomorrow, talk to this old Mu, and strive for 20,000 oceans to take down this twilight café!" ”

……

When I returned home, I found that Xu Jihong had actually come.

"Why did you come here, didn't you say, don't you come to my place if you don't have something important?" Luo Yao was a little displeased, he was really afraid that the two women would fight, so he restricted Xu Jihong from coming to the house.

Xu Jihong said: "Team leader, I have something important to report to you. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xu Jihong glanced at Gong Hui, which meant that this situation could only be told to Luo Yao alone, and others were not qualified to listen, especially Gong Hui.

"Xiaohui, you avoid it first."

Gong Hui had a cold face, agreed, and went into the house.

Xu Jihong followed Luo Yao upstairs, Luo Yao invited her to sit down and asked, "Xu Jihong, now you can tell me, what is the important matter?" ”

"Team leader, do you know where that call ended up going?"

"You found it?"

"I found it, it's the twilight coffee house that you and Gong Hui often go to." Xu Jihong said solemnly.

"Are you sure?" Luo Yao's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"Sure, we've found an anomaly in a line by overhauling the line, and this abnormal line is the telephone connected to the Twilight Coffee House." Xu Jihong said.

"Have you been to the Twilight Café?" Luo Yao's face changed.

"I've been there, but how can I find out if I don't go?" Xu Jihong asked puzzled.

"No wonder......" Luo Yao smiled, Lao Mu this guy is really sensitive. Sense, it must be Xu Jihong and the maintenance workers disguised as the telephone bureau aroused his suspicions, once this line is exposed, his identity will also be exposed, and the most direct way is to leave Jiangcheng.

But he didn't want to leave, and then there would be no three hundred taels of silver here.

He cashed out the coffee house and left, everything was in order, and it would be difficult to catch him again, and he could change his identity and continue to lurk.

And the waiter and kitchen in his shop, most of them are probably his subordinates, at least the barista must be.

"Team leader, is it time to control the Twilight Cafe?"

"Cloth control?" Luo Yao shook his head, "That's in the French Concession, and this 'gentleman' is so deeply hidden, he must be a very cautious and cautious person, if we make a slight move, he may be shocked, and if you let him run away at that time, it will be a failure." ”

"Team leader, are you already suspicious of the Twilight Cafe?"

"Huh?"

"Don't you and Gong Hui go there for coffee every weekend afternoon?" Xu Jihong said.

"How do you know that Gong Hui and I go to the Twilight Coffee House for coffee every weekend?" Luo Yao was slightly surprised, this matter was only known to him and Gong Hui, and he had never mentioned it to anyone?

"I ......"

"You're sneaking up on me?" Luo Yao's eyes immediately changed, he didn't notice it.

"Actually, it was Gong Hui who told me, she said, team leader, you will accompany her to the twilight coffee house every weekend to drink coffee, eat, and watch movies." Xu Jihong was taken aback by Luo Yao's non-angry self-threat, and hurriedly explained.

"She's going to tell you everything!" Luo Yao snorted coldly, how could he not understand that Gong Hui was showing off in front of Xu Jihong.

"It's not that I think she can really be the team leader......

"What my people, Xu Jihong, I also warn you, don't put these thoughts on this, work hard, the party-state cultivated us to fight the war and save the country, not to talk about love!" Luo Yao said sternly.

"Yes, team leader, I remember." Xu Jihong's face turned pale, Luo Yao was ruthless in the temporary training class, otherwise, how could Li Fu and Wen Zishan, two arrogant guys, recognize him as a big brother?

"Inform everyone that 'Yuhetang' will be on standby early tomorrow morning!" Luo Yao suddenly ordered, he couldn't make the mistake of "Duomen Erlang" again.
