Chapter Thirty-Nine: Steady as Mount Tai

How so? Hearing the knock on the door next door, Tang Cheng immediately left the wall and pretended to sit calmly on the sofa and close his eyes to recuperate. I don't know how Feng Qianshan arranged this operation, but Tang Cheng vaguely remembered that Zhang Jianghe had told him that this Feng Qianshan was not easy to deal with, how could he face this Feng Qianshan that night, and the conflict with the Central Union in his own yard was definitely not so easy to solve.

To help or not to help? At this moment, Tang Cheng's mind was already in chaos, "Smack!" A sudden gunshot outside the window interrupted Tang Cheng's thoughts, and Tang Cheng immediately chuckled in his heart, Feng Qianshan and their actions began! Syllable! Syllable! Two more gunshots rang out of the window, and then Tang Cheng heard a burst of shouting, and Tang Cheng knew in his heart that someone had been shot. If it were someone else, if you heard the gunshots outside the window at this moment, you should have gone to the window and looked out.

But Tang Cheng didn't do this, he just continued to sit on the sofa with a calm face, but quietly pulled out the pistol on his waist and put it in the space between his right leg and the sofa. Sure enough, the door of the room where Tang Cheng was located was quickly pushed open, and it was Feng Qianshan and the young man with glasses who came in. "After all, it's someone from the intelligence department, it's a mess outside, and you can still sit still!" Feng Qianshan had obviously expected Tang Cheng to watch from the wall, but the young man with glasses was quite surprised by Tang Cheng's steady appearance.

"Captain Feng, you're joking, I'm not from the Intelligence Department, at most I'm just a helper!" Feng Qianshan's sudden appearance did not surprise Tang Cheng, and the Intelligence Department was also an expert in screening methods like this. Feng Qianshan sat down opposite Tang Cheng with a smile, Tang Cheng didn't stupidly ask the other party why he didn't go out to direct the operation and other nonsense, the two looked at each other, and there was a hint of laughter in their eyes.

"You told me before that you came here to find the owner of the leather goods shop. I have sent someone to look in the direction you said, there is indeed a leather goods store over there, but unfortunately, the leather goods store is closed, and the merchant next to it only says that the owner is out. Feng Qianshan did not hide the fact that he had sent someone to verify, and Tang Cheng was not angry at all, because he knew that this was a certain procedure, and if it was the intelligence department instead, it might be even more excessive.

"Captain Feng, do you mean that if I can't find the owner of the leather goods store, I'll stay here all the time?" Tang Cheng smiled and took out a cigarette and handed it to Feng Qianshan, and then lit one himself. "It depends on the dedication of the people under your hands, even if you can't find the owner of the leather goods store, you can also ask the merchant next to you if I have been there." Tang Cheng didn't feel annoyed by being pinched, he just said his thoughts in a smooth manner, which made the corners of Feng Qianshan's eyebrows tremble slightly.

Tang Cheng, who seemed to be frank, had actually been paying attention to Feng Qianshan's expression and reaction, and the few times that the corners of Feng Qianshan's eyebrows twitched just now had already been seen by Tang Cheng. After Tang Cheng, who was smiling secretly in his heart, said his thoughts, he stopped talking, and just smoked with Feng Qianshan face to face. The room was silent for a while, Tang Cheng and Feng Qianshan both looked at their noses and noses like mud sculptures in the temple, only the young man with glasses turned his head from time to time to glance at Tang Cheng and the two.

No matter how long a cigarette is, there is also a time when he finishes smoking, pressing the cigarette butt that is about to burn his finger into the ashtray, Feng Qianshan has to admit that the young man opposite is not weak in his ability to cultivate qi, he is obviously a young man, but he is like an old fox. Feng Qianshan didn't close the door when the two came in, and a rush of footsteps in the corridor finally broke the silence in the room, and the young man with glasses walked out of the room quickly and whispered a few words to the people in the corridor outside the room.

When the young man with glasses came in again, the look of wanting to speak and stopping made Tang Cheng almost laugh on the spot, and then got up from the sofa and stood up. "Captain Feng, the movement outside has become smaller, and it seems that your operation has ended. If I don't mind, can I stand in front of the window and watch the excitement? Tang Cheng's words were obviously an inquiry, but in fact, before Feng Qianshan could answer, Tang Cheng had already walked to the window facing the street.

Tang Cheng got up from the sofa at this time, obviously wanting to give Feng Qianshan and the young man with glasses a chance to talk privately, so Feng Qianshan, who understood in his heart, did not express any objection to Tang Cheng's action of walking to the window. Standing next to the window facing the street, the situation on the opposite street was clear at a glance, and what Tang Cheng saw at the moment was that outside the door of the noodle shop on the other side of the street, it was surrounded by more than a dozen sturdy men in different costumes. Unlike the Intelligence Department, the movement of the Central Command to arrest people in the city has always been very large, and a scene like today's is actually nothing at all.

Feng Qianshan and the people they wanted to arrest had obviously been taken away, and Tang Cheng saw that all the people who were in and out of the noodle restaurant at this moment were Feng Qianshan's subordinates. After arresting people, the next thing to do is naturally to search the scene of the operation, the injured and dead are also about to be transported away, Tang Cheng has been standing in front of the window and watching silently, he has seen at least three stretchers used to carry the corpses. The stretcher was covered with a white sheet, not to mention that Tang Cheng was standing in the building across the street, even if he was standing next to the stretcher, he was afraid that he could not confirm whether it was a man or a woman lying on the stretcher, whether it was an enemy or a friend.

Behind him, Feng Qianshan and the two were talking in a low voice, Tang Cheng knew that he had to be stable at this time, and he must not let Feng Qianshan doubt himself. Because Tang Cheng knew that once he was targeted by the Central Union, he would not have a peaceful life in the future. On the way back to Nanjing from Shanghai, Tang Cheng had already carefully thought about how he should go in the future, and the underground party was willing to sacrifice everything for the country and the nation, and although he could not do it to that extent, his active efforts to search for Japanese spies were also dedicating his own strength to the country and the nation.

If he had encountered Feng Qianshan's actions to arrest underground party members before he went to Shanghai, he would definitely find a way to sabotage Feng Qianshan's actions. But now, Tang Cheng has been able to face these calmly, which does not mean that Tang Cheng can ignore the underground party's bloody sacrifice in front of his eyes, because Tang Cheng's help to the underground party will become more secretive. Only by protecting oneself first can one have the opportunity to do more things that are beneficial to the country, and this is the insight that Tang Cheng gained on his way back to Nanjing from Shanghai.

The quiet Tang Cheng looked at the bustle across the street with great interest, which disappointed Feng Qianshan, who was secretly watching him, Feng Qianshan did not suspect that Tang Cheng was related to the underground party, he left Tang Cheng just to have a chance to get close to Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng's performance today surprised Feng Qianshan, he couldn't think of a young man who was not yet 20 years old, how could he behave so sophisticatedly, and his several attempts failed to work.

"Captain Feng, I see that your people across the street have begun to evacuate, if your operation is over and there is nothing else to do, can I leave?" It's not too early! Tang Cheng stood in front of the window and looked outside for a while, and after the young man with glasses left the room, he turned to look at Feng Qianshan with joy in his eyes. Feng Qianshan's expression at this moment could already explain a lot of things, Tang Cheng was impatient in his heart, but he still had to keep calm on his face.

"No problem, you can leave at any time, even if you don't mention it, I'm ready to tell you about it." Feng Qianshan was very happy, and he didn't have the slightest intention of embarrassing Tang Cheng. It's just that when he got up to send Tang Cheng out of the room, he suddenly said, "Actually, this operation was successful, thank you very much!" If it weren't for the fact that you happened to go to that noodle restaurant to eat before our people entered, which caused the two people of the underground party to connect in the noodle restaurant to delay time, maybe our operation this time would not have been so smooth. ”

Feng Qianshan's words may have been unintentional, but Tang Cheng still had to be vigilant, and he didn't believe what Feng Qianshan had just said. When I entered the noodle restaurant, there were only two diners in the noodle restaurant, a man and a woman, and the area of the noodle restaurant was not large, so I would look carefully. Makeup can change a person's appearance and body shape, but it can't really change a person's long-term habits and some traces left on his body, Tang Cheng clearly remembered that Feng Qianshan and the person they wanted to arrest were from the northwest, but the pair of men and women he saw at that time did not leave any traces of living in the northwest.

Tang Cheng judged that these words just now were still a test of Feng Qianshan, so he didn't react, but left the hotel through the back door accompanied by Feng Qianshan. "Captain Feng, this time the matter is really troublesome, next time if you have the opportunity, I will invite you to eat hot pot." Before Tang Cheng got into the car, he deliberately sent an invitation to Feng Qianshan, but after the other party was only slightly stunned, he actually agreed to Tang Cheng's invitation with a smile.

Tang Cheng started the car and returned to the main street along the way he came, and when he passed the noodle shop, Tang Cheng did not slow down, but the two pools of blood at the entrance of the noodle shop were still in Tang Cheng's sight. "Captain, shall we just let him go?" The young man with glasses who watched Tang Cheng drive away stood behind Feng Qianshan, and there was a hint of anger in his words, which made Feng Qianshan frown secretly.

"Xiaobei, I know that you have a good relationship with Bai San and the others, and I want to give them a few vents." Feng Qianshan turned around to look at the young man in glasses, and the words in his mouth faintly smelled of warning. "Although that kid is not from the Intelligence Division, he has a good relationship with the upper echelons of the Intelligence Division, especially their director is very optimistic about this kid. Bai San and they privately helped the Kong family to get angry, this is a violation of our internal regulations, is it possible that you also think that our family law is just casually talked? ”
