Chapter 34: When the Operation Goes Through (3)

In a small hotel in the concession, Tang Cheng met Xie Jinyuan's wife Ling Weicheng, although Ling Weicheng was not tall and looked a little thin, but the other party's neat hair bun and firm eyes made Tang Cheng feel that the person in front of him was a strong-willed person. "Mrs. Xie, I'm sorry to let you and the children come all the way from Guangdong, my name is Tang Cheng, I am the person in charge of this rescue operation, and I am also the implementer of the specific operation."

Tang Cheng took off the top hat he was wearing on his head, and in front of Ling Weicheng, he ripped off the disguise on his face, revealing a young face, which surprised Ling Weicheng, who was originally secretly examining Tang Cheng, she didn't expect that Tang Cheng, who suddenly appeared here, would be so young. "Sister-in-law, don't worry, don't look at his young age, this kid is not a good match. The newspaper said that this kid did it, and the Japanese in Shanghai could be tossed by him. ”

Tan Wensong appeared at the right time to relieve the siege, and while making fun of Tang Cheng, he handed Ling Weicheng a newspaper from a few days ago. Ling Weicheng is not a peasant woman in the countryside who doesn't even know a word, Ling Weicheng, the second of the three sisters in the family, graduated from Wuben Girls' High School in 1924 and graduated from Shanghai Southeast Sports College in 1927 with a major in music.

Ling Weicheng took the newspaper and flipped through it a little inexplicably, and Tan Wensong explained with a smile. "The newspaper said that the attack on the New Asia Hotel was done by Tang Cheng, and the Zodiac Society was killed by Tang Cheng at the headquarters of the New Asia Hotel in one night, and the Japanese still don't know who did it." Tan Wensong said this, not to prove how great Tang Cheng is, but to prove to Ling Weicheng that Tang Cheng definitely has the ability to rescue the lone army camp.

When Ling Weicheng heard this, he also looked up at Tang Cheng in disbelief, if she hadn't trusted Tan Wensong, she would never have imagined that the young man in front of her, who still looked a little student, was actually a strongman that the Japanese were trying their best to track. Tang Cheng, who was staring at Ling Weicheng without blinking, did not change the expression on his face in the slightest, and his appearance at the moment seemed more frank and calm.

"Mrs. Xie, Chief Xie's character, you know best. If I can't convince him to cooperate with me before launching a new operation, there will probably be a mistake in this rescue operation. There are still more than 300 people in the lone camp, and if there is a lapse in the operation, it is likely that the life of all of them will be at risk. They are all heroes, so I can't allow them to risk their lives because of my actions. "In front of Tan Wensong, Tang Cheng planned to hide Ling Weicheng.

"So, I'm going to ask you to go and meet with Chief Xie first, you are the person who knows Chief Xie best, and at the same time, you are also the person that Chief Xie believes the most, no matter how much we talk here, it is better for you to come forward and meet with Chief Xie. I will have the letter ready, and if you can say thank you, sir, I will give him the letter. The specific rescue plan is almost ready on my side, but it still needs to be discussed with Chief Xie and the other officers of the Lone Army Battalion, because this operation requires the full cooperation of all of them. ”

After Tang Cheng and the three of them sat down on the sofa, Tang Cheng told Tan Wensong and the others his plan, "The Japanese army is currently on the offensive like a rainbow, although the national government has said that it will defend Nanjing, but I am not optimistic about the prospects of the Nanjing war. According to the character of the Japanese, once the battle in Nanjing turned out to be as the Japanese army thought, the Japanese army in Shanghai would definitely hold a so-called celebration. Although the camp was in the British Concession, the British were worried about offending the Japanese, so we had to implement the rescue plan when the Japanese army in Shanghai was lax. ”

What Tang Cheng said at the moment, whether it was Tan Wensong or Ling Weicheng, was actually in a state of confusion, after all, the battle in Nanjing was too far away from them, and what Tang Cheng predicted had not happened yet. But no matter what, their idea and purpose are the same as Tang Cheng's, which is to rescue the lone army camp and leave Shanghai. "There is one more thing, you can't continue to live here, the concession looks calm, but the Japanese have secretly bought a lot of gang figures, once the Japanese know that Mrs. Xie came to Shanghai with her children, they will not sit idly by."

Tan Wensong was ordered to escort Ling Weicheng and the children to Shanghai, and regardless of whether the rescue plan was successful or not, Tan Wensong had to ensure the safety of Ling Weicheng and the children. "I was a Chinese shareholder in a foreign-owned company under the cover of a foreign company in Shanghai, and I had a bungalow in the concession, and the housekeeper and cook were all foreigners who could speak Chinese. Mrs. Xie can take the children to live with me first, and the external identity is a distant relative of my family, and Mr. Tan is the children's maternal uncle, so the possibility of revealing the identity will be very low. ”

On the way to the hotel with Tan Wensong, Tang Cheng had already thought of this step, and before the rescue operation began, the safety of Ling Weicheng and the children came first. Ling Weicheng seems to be weak, but in fact she is a woman with a strong heart, who dared to take her child and follow Tan Wensong all the way back to Shanghai, and she had made up her mind that she would never be separated from Xie Jinyuan this time. And seeing that Tang Cheng was very thoughtful, even if he agreed to move to Tang Cheng's residence, Tan Wensong naturally had no objection.

Tang Cheng planned to rescue the lone army camp, and Hans knew about it, so the appearance of Ling Weicheng and the children, Hans, who received the news, didn't feel very strange about it. "Mr. Tan, you should settle down with me first, Mrs. Xie and the children are also tired from looking at it, so they should rest first. I still have things to go out and I'll be sure to come back when dinner comes. After settling Tan Wensong and the others in the residence, Tang Cheng left the residence and rushed to Boss Yu's tea shop.

"Uncle Yu, can that Tan Wensong be reliable?" In the warehouse of the tea house, there were only two people at the moment, Tang Cheng and Boss Yu, so Tang Cheng did not hide his suspicion of Tan Wensong. Although Tan Wensong had a photo with Zhang Jianghe in his hand, Tang Cheng was not very relieved. Since Tan Wensong is a member of the Intelligence Department, and he claims to have received an order from the headquarters of the Intelligence Department to escort Ling Weicheng and the children to Shanghai, Boss Yu, who has been in contact with the headquarters of the Intelligence Department, has a way to prove Tan Wensong's identity.

Tan Wensong had already come to Boss Yu before he followed Tang Cheng, and Boss Yu just replied with blank eyes to Tang Cheng's question at the moment. "Tan Wensong is an old man in the intelligence department, and before he was transferred to Guangdong, he spent a while in Shanghai Station. I have had a few encounters with him, Tan Wensong is not very good, but he is loyal and stoic. I heard that he was transferred to Guangdong because he offended people in Nanjing, and the fact that the headquarters used him this time shows that the department still values this person. ”

Boss Yu is a person who can't offend people, even in the face of Tang Cheng, his answer is very ingenious. In his words, he said that Tan Wensong had a stoic personality, but in fact, he said that Tan Wensong had no backer behind him, and he could only be careful everywhere, otherwise he would not have been transferred to Guangdong to work as a cold bench for a few years. Tang Cheng didn't hear the deep meaning of Boss Yu's words, all he cared about at the moment was whether this Tan Wensong was worthy of his trust. Now that Boss Yu has proved Tan Wensong's identity, Tang Cheng has no time to pay attention to other things.

The arrival of Ling Weicheng and the children seemed to connect the scattered plans in Tang Cheng's mind. As the most important part of the plan, Ling Weicheng's entry into the lonely army camp to visit Xie Jinyuan was immediately put on the agenda by Tang Cheng. "Boss Huang, you are from Meishan, you should know that Mrs. Xie was sent back to her hometown in Guangdong by Chief Xie long before the war." Seeing Huang Han again, the latter had already secretly contacted many Guangdong businessmen in Shanghai, and just waited for Tang Cheng to send a signal, they would go to the lonely military camp in the name of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce to offer condolences.

"Mrs. Xie and the children, now that they have come to Shanghai, I want to trouble Boss Huang, when you go to the lonely military camp this time to condole, bring Mrs. Xie quietly into the lonely military camp, we need to get in touch with Chief Xie first through Mrs. Xie." The news revealed by Tang Cheng at this moment made Huang Han's already excited mood become more and more excited. Just taking a person into the lonely army camp, for the condolence group organized by the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce this time, it is not a matter at all.

"No problem!" Excited, Huang Han had forgotten that he was in a café at the moment, and was busy patting his chest to make promises to Tang Cheng. "Don't worry, even if you take my life, you will never let Mrs. Xie do anything, this is our commitment of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce." Huang Han's actions and words may seem ridiculous to others, but in Tang Cheng's eyes, because there are too many people like Huang Han in this country, this country is worthy of his love and respect.

"Boss Huang, no, Mrs. Xie will go to the lonely military camp this time, I will give her some disguise in advance, as long as someone who is not extremely familiar sees it, she will definitely not recognize her true identity." Tang Cheng's explanation made Huang Han feel more at ease. In the café where the two met, after discussing the specific matters of the condolence group's trip to the lonely military camp, the two separated and left.

Tang Cheng promised Tan Wensong that he would return to his residence at dinner time, so he did not break his promise, and accompanied Ling Weicheng and the children to dinner, Tang Cheng invited Tan Wensong to his study. "In the afternoon, I went to the tea house to verify your identity." Tang Cheng just started his head, and then suddenly paused, he was observing Tan Wensong's reaction. It's just a pity that Tan Wensong was very indifferent, and his reaction was greatly beyond Tang Cheng's expectations.

Tang Cheng paused for a moment, and then pushed the poured coffee to the other party, "Don't think about it, the operation to rescue the lone army camp is very dangerous, in order to prevent the plan from being leaked, I don't want to use the power of the Shanghai station." Although it is a good thing for Mrs. Xie and the children to come to Shanghai, I must check your appearance, because once the operation starts, it cannot be stopped, and I will never allow accidents to occur in the operation. ”
