Chapter 105: Awake
Tang Cheng shouldn't have entered the clinic so recklessly, and in public, he said that he was the masked man who helped just now, but at this moment, Tang Cheng was eager to know Xu Huanshan's whereabouts and whereabouts, so he couldn't care about it. The female nurse's previous action of moving her shoulders made Tang Cheng's heart ring, if it was Tang Cheng sitting in the position of the female nurse, I am afraid that she would also arrange a pistol or other weapon under the table in front of her.
Sure enough, after Tang Cheng spread out his hands to show that he had no malicious intentions and took the initiative to reveal his intentions to the other party, the female nurse still reached out and pulled out a small lady Browning pistol from under the table. "Don't be impulsive, I don't mean anything, I'm really here for them! Believe it or not, I don't have anything on my hands! As Tang Cheng spoke, his body subconsciously took a step back, as long as he took another step back, his heel would touch the threshold of the clinic's door.
The female nurse who drew her pistol obviously didn't make a decision, she just pointed the gun at Tang Cheng while pressing a button in a hidden position on the side of the table with her left hand. The button is used to report to the people at the back of the clinic, as long as the button is pressed, the normally disconnected circuit will be connected, and the lights in the small room behind the clinic will be lit immediately. After a few breaths, the door next to the female nurse was pushed open, and a middle-aged doctor who was obviously still a little out of breath appeared in Tang Cheng's sight.
"He said he came to find someone, and said that Lao Zhang and they were rescued by him." The female nurse got up and whispered into the doctor's ear. When the doctor heard this, he immediately turned his gaze to Tang Cheng, and between the shrunken eyes, there was a trace of alarm in the doctor's expression, because Tang Cheng had not taken off the scarf and sunglasses that had almost covered all his face since he walked into this clinic. Tang Cheng saw all the doubts in the other party's expression, but he didn't take off his scarf and sunglasses.
"I know Xu Zhiyuan, I'm here to find him." Tang Cheng reported Xu Huanshan's pseudonym in Shanghai, and this clinic took in and hid those who were chased, so they should also know Xu Huanshan, even if they don't know each other, they must have some kind of connection. I have to say that Tang Cheng's vigilance is necessary, although he covers his face with a scarf and sunglasses, his clothing and speaking accent will become the direction and clue to be tracked.
Risking his life to enter this clinic was already Tang Cheng's risky move, and even if he could be sure that there were no traitors among those pursued, it would be impossible for Tang Cheng to expose himself in front of the underground party outside Xu Huanshan. "Xu Zhiyuan? How did you know him? The doctor whose breath had stabilized was a little surprised, he knew that this Xu Zhiyuan was from Nanjing, but he didn't know the specific task of the other party.
"He and I are friends, and we have known each other since we were in Nanjing." The surprise in the other party's eyes made Tang Cheng even more cautious. "We had made an appointment to meet, but when I arrived at the place, I was just in time for someone to flee and someone to pursue. I helped on the way, and then followed the people who were being pursued all the way here, and I wondered, how could I contact Xu Zhiyuan? ”
Tang Cheng stood still and did not move his position, because the female nurse had been pointing a gun at him, and after obtaining the doctor's consent, Tang Cheng slowly stepped forward, took the pen and paper on the table and left a phone number for the other party. "This number can find me, but I can only wait for an hour, if Xu Zhiyuan doesn't contact me within an hour, please tell him, I may not be able to help him with what he said!"
Tang Cheng left the other party with the number of a roadside phone booth, which was only two blocks away from Hans's restaurant, and even if the number was exposed, Tang Cheng would have enough time to walk through the alley to escape to Hans's restaurant. In addition to this phone number, Tang Cheng's appearance and departure did not leave any trace like the wind, and there was also a strange smell in it, and the few underground party members hiding in the backyard of the clinic had different reactions when they learned about it.
"When we retreated, someone did secretly help us, especially after someone put off a cigarette, and a person came to remind us to evacuate as soon as possible. It's just that the man was covered with his head and face covered at the time, and I didn't know who the person was at all, and there was white smoke everywhere at that time, and the person's figure was not very clear. The underground party member who was caught by Tang Cheng at that time and reminded him to evacuate couldn't tell the situation of the helper at all.
"Although the other party knows Xu Zhiyuan and said that he is from Nanjing, we still don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend. Lao Xu was separated from us when he retreated, and now he can't contact them at all, so it's better to wait for a while, and when Lao Xu is contacted, they are talking about it. It's just that we can't stay here, we must evacuate immediately! "There are not many people who can do underground work without heart, and when they learned that Tang Cheng followed them all the way to find this place, some of these people immediately realized that the clinic might not be safe here.
Tang Cheng, who left the clinic, actually did not go far, but observed the surroundings of the clinic from a distance for a while, and after confirming that he did not find any unusual places and people, he took a rickshaw and returned to the place agreed with Xu Huanshan according to the same route. When Tang Cheng stopped the car to help, he not only took off his coat, but also covered his head and face with a dark scarf, and he appeared for a short time, not only those pursuers, but even the unlucky car driver couldn't tell Tang Cheng's appearance and characteristics.
Tang Cheng swaggered back in a rickshaw, and the pursuers he shot had already been sent to the hospital for treatment, and there were only a few blood stains and the car parked diagonally on the side of the road. There were more concession patrols and some short-shirted men with cold faces in the streets, and seeing that the patrols did not close the road, Tang Cheng signaled the rickshaw driver to go straight along the street, Xu looked at Tang Cheng's age was wrong, and he was dressed like a rich child, and those patrols did not check Tang Cheng.
At this time, about half an hour has passed since the previous shootout, and the traces and effects of the shootout have almost disappeared, and even the place where Xu Huanshan made an appointment has returned to calm. Tang Cheng did not get off the bus halfway, but asked the driver to park the rickshaw at the door of a fabric store, but when he got out of the car to pay, Tang Cheng turned around and saw someone on the side of the street looking towards him.
It's a hell of a thing! Seeing the person who was looking at him in the distance, Tang Cheng subconsciously frowned. Although the other party's appearance had changed, Tang Cheng remembered the figure of the person, and secretly cursed in his heart, Tang Cheng, who had paid for the car, reached out and took off the top hat on his head casually, and then turned around and entered the fabric store. Tang Cheng's action of taking off his top hat outside the fabric store seemed to be very ordinary, but it was actually a signal, if that person was Xu Huanshan, he must have understood the meaning.
A few minutes later, when the cloth shop owner and his buddies were busy cutting fabrics for Tang Cheng, Xu Huanshan, dressed in a suit, came in from outside. Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan glanced at each other, but they didn't come forward to talk, but just stretched out their fingers and pointed to a piece of fabric.
Tang Cheng bought a lot of fabric in this fabric shop, and after paying the money, Tang Cheng left the address of his residence, and the owner of the fabric shop promised to send someone to deliver the fabric to his door immediately. Like ordinary guests, Xu Huanshan only bought a very ordinary piece of material, and left the fabric store with Tang Cheng's front and back feet. "Why are you still here? Don't you see all those patrols and plainclothes spies on the street? Tang Cheng's words sounded a little rushed, but Xu Huanshan knew that Tang Cheng was worried about himself.
"I can't leave yet, I was so hasty in my retreat that I left something inside. That part is very important to me, I must get it, if I didn't happen to see you, I might have followed Huzi and the two of them into it. When Xu Huanshan mentioned Huzi, Tang Cheng reacted, daring to show that Xu Huanshan was the one who was waiting here alone and protecting him with him, and he would have already risked his life to return to that place.
"I said, don't you take human life seriously?" Tang Cheng glanced left and right, and then turned to look at Xu Huanshan, who had followed him into the alley. "I won't say what happened just now, you should know it yourself. If you can send so many people to round you up, you must be the people of the Central Union, and those people of the Central Union are your old opponents. I've been fighting with you for so many years, and people must be very familiar with your style of acting. ”
"What's more important, I've always suspected that something is wrong with you internally, if it's really a traitor who betrayed you, and at this time you risk touching it back, then it's really possible that the meat bun beat the dog, and you won't return it!" Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan also start to become nervous, and Tang Cheng could feel it from his rapid breathing. But at this time, Tang Cheng still had to continue to attack the other party, otherwise next time there was such a thing, Xu Huanshan and they might really suffer a catastrophe.
"If you look closely at the row of windows across the street, where there are people who are pulling the curtains during the day, not to mention that the weather is not bad today." Tang Cheng planned to speak with facts, and then instructed Xu Huanshan to pay attention to the suspicious points he had discovered before. "And the shop over there, it looks very normal, but you notice that there are no people in and out of that store, why are all men, but no women in and out?"
Hearing Tang Cheng say this, Xu Huanshan patiently observed carefully for a while, and finally found a lot of suspicious things. But at this time, it was too late for him to regret it, according to the time estimate, Huzi and they might have entered that courtyard.
