Chapter Seventy-Eight: Untitled
Tang Cheng didn't have the kung fu to explain to Zhou Hongxiang what is called the depreciation of fiat currency and the strength of foreign currency, because just now, he suddenly saw a member of Cao Wanchun's action team. It is not surprising that people from the Intelligence Service appear on the black market, as the Intelligence Service also often gathers intelligence from the black market. It's just that Tang Cheng will see not one person, but six, and these six Cao Wanchun's subordinates are not together, but divided into three groups.
Could it be that there is action? This was Tang Cheng's first reaction, but he immediately vetoed it again, because he saw Cao Wanchun again immediately afterward. It is true that Cao Wanchun was born in the army, but through the contact of these operations, Tang Cheng found that Cao Wanchun rarely appeared on the front line of the operation. Once there is a high-risk operation, the first to be overloaded is always the action team members under him, and the leader of the team is either his squad leader or his cronies.
Cao Wanchun's appearance shows that this may not be an action, or it may not be a dangerous action, Tang Cheng plans to stay here and wait and see for a while, so he will take Zhou Hong's makeup to watch the excitement and relieve boredom. Tang Cheng, who accidentally saw Cao Wanchun and others, wanted to hide in the distance to watch the excitement, but he forgot that the car he was driving was detained from the case by Cao Wanchun, as long as he looked at the license plate, Cao Wanchun and several of his cronies knew that Tang Cheng was sitting in the car.
"What is he doing here?" After receiving a report from his team members, saying that he saw the car driven by Tang Cheng, Cao Wanchun was also very puzzled, he hadn't heard that Tang Cheng was still doing black market business in private! Cao Wanchun appeared here today, not because of any action, but to come here to find a black market broker named Qian San. A week ago, Cao Wanchun's brother-in-law accompanied Cao Wanchun's wife to the black market to exchange gold bars, but he didn't want to be deceived by this black market broker named Qian San.
Cao Wanchun naturally couldn't swallow this breath, so he took a few cronies to look for Qian San here today, but he didn't want to meet Tang Cheng instead. "Yo, Uncle Cao, it's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Tang Cheng pretended to be just a coincidence, got out of the car, and saw Zhou Hongxiang coming out of the co-pilot seat and the bags in the back seat of the car, Cao Wanchun somewhat believed that Tang Cheng just happened to appear here today.
"Is this action?" Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and handed one to Cao Wanchun, and the rest was stuffed into the cronie next to Cao Wanchun. "It's just a few of you?" Tang Cheng looked at Cao Wanchun with a surprised expression, that look made Cao Wanchun's heart feel relieved, it was really just a coincidence to appear here.
"A small action, it's to come here and find someone!" Cao Wanchun nodded lightly and began to follow Tang Cheng's words, but he didn't know that when Tang Cheng was lighting a cigarette for him, one of Tang Cheng's fingers had already touched the back of Cao Wanchun's hand. Tang Cheng's two questions just now were just an introduction, at this moment, Tang Cheng had successfully copied a memory from Cao Wanchun's mental consciousness, and he already knew the purpose of Cao Wanchun's bringing people here.
Ha, I dared to be deceived by this person called Qian San! Tsk, four big yellow croaker gold bars, it's really rich! After learning the inside story from that copied memory, Tang Cheng secretly muttered in his heart, but he couldn't see any fluctuations on his face. Cao Wanchun didn't know that Tang Cheng had learned the purpose of his visit, and seeing that Tang Cheng didn't seem interested in his coming here, he really believed that Tang Cheng's appearance here was just an accident.
"Okay then! Uncle Cao, you guys are busy first, and we'll go back first! After chatting with Cao Wanchun for a few words, seeing that the other party obviously wanted to continue to wait here, since Cao Wanchun had already seen through his whereabouts, Tang Cheng simply chose to leave and leave, so as not to be embarrassed by being encountered again after a while. Tang Cheng beckoned Zhou Hongxiang to get into the car, and Cao Wanchun saw the two drive away, so he really believed that Tang Cheng's appearance here was just a coincidence, but he didn't expect that Tang Cheng would turn around and tell Zhang Jianghe about it.
"When Cao Wanchun was in the army, he was a good man, and he did a good job in the early days of the intelligence department. It's just that I didn't expect that people like him would end up like this! Zhang Jianghe sighed secretly, as if he was quite sad that Cao Wanchun had become a mercenary person, and Tang Cheng, who was sitting opposite him, pouted secretly, saying that there was no one in the intelligence department who was not the same as Cao Wanchun.
Tang Cheng not only exchanged gold bars and dollars on the black market, but also spent a lot of money to buy some in-demand items from the black market, such as milk powder and sugar, as well as some medicines. Zhou Hongxiang was sorting out these things at the moment, and seeing that there were still medicines in the things Tang Cheng brought back, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but glared at Tang Cheng fiercely. "You kid is a person who doesn't remember to eat, and I told you a long time ago not to touch the medicine, getting this thing will only invite disaster."
Zhang Jianghe's rebuke, Tang Cheng heard it in his ears, but he left it behind in a blink of an eye, especially in his heart at this moment, he still thought that Zhang Jianghe was too cautious, and he didn't have the courage to be a hidden agent at all. "I've got something to go out, don't wait for me for lunch." Tang Cheng suddenly remembered that he still had a date with Xu Huanshan, although the agreed meeting time was tomorrow, but Tang Cheng had already verified the effect of hypnotism last night, and he planned to go to Xu Huanshan and tell the other party that he no longer needed the message of the Japanese spies.
Tang Cheng didn't bring Zhou Hong's makeup when he went out this time, and it was almost time for the school to get out of school, Tang Cheng drove in a hurry, and finally rushed to the small restaurant where he met last time when Xu Huanshan left the school. It's still the same table last time, and the dishes on the table are still the same as last time, but this time Tang Cheng didn't wait for Xu to return to the mountain, and when the latter walked into the small restaurant, Tang Cheng had already eaten.
"Eat first, eat your stomach, let's talk again!" Tang Cheng was already hungry, so he couldn't care about being polite to Xu Huanshan, just a polite word to Xu Huanshan, and immediately concentrated on dealing with the plate of burnt hooves on the table. Xu Huanshan was originally surprised why Tang Cheng would meet him a day earlier, but looking at Tang Cheng's eating appearance, he knew that he might not get an answer if he asked at the moment, so he took off his coat and sat down, grabbed chopsticks and competed with Tang Cheng for food.
Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan were both people who ate quickly, and the two people who filled their stomachs quickly collapsed in their chairs, and the dishes on the table were already in a mess at the moment. Looking at the mess on the table, Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan looked at each other, and then they all cracked their mouths and smirked. "Ask you to meet, it's not just about eating, things are changing a little now, what I asked you to do, let's pause it first!" As Tang Cheng spoke, he took out two gold bars from his pocket and put them on the table and pushed them to Xu Huanshan.
"I'm a reasonable person, and since I promised to spend money to buy news from you, I will definitely give you the money I should give. Now it's my reason to terminate the transaction, and even if these two gold bars are compensation for you, I don't have any more! Tang Cheng pretended not to see the suspicion in Xu Huanshan's eyes, he just explained his intentions and decisions by himself, as for whether Xu Huanshan understood his decision, it was another matter.
Xu Huanshan was puzzled, but the two gold bars that Tang Cheng took out, Xu Huanshan did not refuse. "Are you in trouble?" After putting away the two gold bars, Xu Huanshan frowned slightly, he asked very directly, but it was not unexpected by Tang Cheng.
"What? Would you like to help? Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and took out one and bit it in his mouth, and then threw most of the pack of cigarettes to Xu Huanshan. Aren't you afraid that I'm messing with the Intelligence Service? The Nationalist Government and you have always been mortal enemies! The ridicule in Tang Cheng's words was very obvious, and when Xu Huanshan heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes at Tang Cheng.
"I'm helping you, not them." Xu Huanshan's answer was concise and to the point, but it was not the answer in Tang Cheng's heart. "But there aren't many places I can help you, during this time, Zhongtong frantically arrested our people, many people in the Nanjing underground party organization have withdrawn from Nanjing, and the manpower I can use is only two or three people." When Xu Huanshan spoke, he kept paying attention to Tang Cheng's reaction, but unfortunately, he didn't notice any change in Tang Cheng's expression.
"Forget it! You can't help me with this, since Zhongtong has gone crazy, you better continue to lurk honestly! As Tang Cheng spoke, he took out a few bills and threw them to the restaurant guy, who was about to get up and leave, but sat down again. Old Xu, maybe we will never be together, but I respect you. As I said, even if I can't be a fellow traveler with you, I won't do you any harm. ”
"I may be leaving Nanjing soon, but before I go, I'll give you some free news, even if it's a parting gift for our acquaintance." Tang Cheng leaned out at Xu Huanshan, and at the same time lowered his voice and spoke. "I have reliable information that the Japanese will soon provoke a war, and that Peiping and Shanghai are the two most likely. Nanjing is the national capital, and it is also unsafe in the event of war. It would be best to inform your people and prepare to leave Nanjing, but I don't know the exact time. ”
Xu Huanshan didn't know Tang Cheng very well, but he knew that Tang Cheng would not come to deceive himself for no reason, such a powerful news made Xu Huanshan not react for a while, until Tang Cheng got up and stood up, Xu Huanshan pulled Tang Cheng's sleeve. "What you just said is true?"
"Lao Xu, you are not an important person, and you don't have any money in your pocket, what benefits can I deceive you! If you don't believe me, just assume that I just told a joke, and if you believe me, it's time to prepare. Tang Cheng calmly pulled Xu Huanshan's right hand away, then sighed lightly, turned around and left the small restaurant.
