After leaving the Modern Dress Store on Nanjing Road in the Shanghai Tang Public Concession, Chen Lei did not return to his residence in Yong'anli, Xiafei Road, in the French Concession, but went to a bakery on Gordon Road called Hawklai.

Like before, Chen Lei also went by rickshaw, and he didn't know the rickshaw driver, which made him feel more at ease.

Standing in front of the Hawker Bakery, Chen Lei stopped for a long time, and when the rickshaw driver disappeared into the crowd on Gordon Road, he turned around and walked into the bakery.

Originally, before Chen Lei arrived, the bakery's business was relatively prosperous, and customers would come to buy bread every few minutes.

However, when Chen Lei walked into the bakery, a young male clerk who looked to be in his early twenties hung a "temporarily closed" sign outside the door after taking bread to the last customer and sending it out the door.

"Team leader, you're finally here, we haven't seen each other for half a month! This time you came in the evening, is there any urgent task, we are idle in the bakery and are almost moldy! The young male clerk stepped forward and said with a little emotion while looking at Chen Lei with eager anticipation.

As far as this young male clerk knows, their team leader Chen has only a handful of assassins who come to the contact point of this bakery, and almost every time he comes, he either gets very important information and needs to send a report to the Shancheng Military Command General Bureau with a special cipher code through the radio hidden in the bread, or he orders them to go to the occupied area of Shanghai Tang occupied by the Japanese army to rescue the British, American, and French international friends.

After squinting at the young male clerk, Chen Lei paused twice, and then replied jokingly: "Sun Chengshu, you kid knows the task, can't I come over to see a few of you." By the way, by the way, let's also taste it, your bakery bakes delicious bread. ”

When Chen Lei finished speaking, Xu Ning, another young male clerk in the front hall of the bakery, also stepped forward and criticized Sun Chengshu who was standing next to him: "What the team leader said is right, Sun Chengshu, you are now full of things in your mind except for tasks, how can there be so many tasks every day."

"Besides, we are an international intelligence group, and we don't carry out assassinations every once in a while compared to other operational groups, we are mainly engaged in cultural attacks. The team leader finally came to our store once, how can you talk about the task when you open your mouth, isn't this the intention to sweep the team leader's interest? ”

After listening to Xu Ning's criticism of Sun Chengshu, Chen Lei first nodded slightly approvingly, and after less than three seconds, he shook his head violently, and quickly explained his intentions: "Xu Ning, what your kid said, why do I like to listen to it so much!" Your criticism of Sun Chengshu is very reasonable, and I completely agree with it. ”

At this point, Chen Lei paused twice, then changed his words and continued: "However, this time I came to you as the contact point of the international intelligence group of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and I did have an extremely important matter to inform you. The two of you hurry up and get the other two, and let's go upstairs and talk secretly. ”

After listening to Chen Lei's words praising him in the first half, Xu Ning immediately secretly enjoyed himself in his heart, but after listening to the second half of what Chen Lei said, the smile on his cheeks suddenly disappeared.

Knowing that Chen Lei had come to patronize their bakery, there was indeed something important to inform them, Sun Chengshu hurriedly went to the back kitchen, because their other two team members, Mi Jiashan and Yao Haibo, were busy baking bread.

Under the guidance of Xu Ning, Chen Lei followed him to the room on the second floor of the bakery, and after waiting for about half a minute, Sun Chengshu, Mi Jiashan and Yao Haibo entered.

Seeing that all the members of the third group (international intelligence group) of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command had been gathered, Chen Lei, who was sitting at the table, immediately solemnly announced: "I have come this time to tell you a bad news, that is, this afternoon I learned through a special official channel that Wang Tianmu, the head of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, had taken refuge with Wang Puppet three days ago, and was now in the secret service headquarters at No. 76 Jisfeier Road, in collusion with Ding Mocun and Li Shijun, and was hired as a senior adviser.

"In the past few days, in Shanghai, except for the third action group of our military command Shanghai station, almost all the other military command Shanghai station sleepers have been exposed, and they have either been killed by the people of the secret service headquarters, or they have taken refuge in the secret service headquarters to do things for the Japanese.

Not only that, because Wang Tianmu also governs the military command stations in Beiping, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places. Military command stations in these places have also been seriously damaged one after another.

"Since our Third Operational Group is mainly responsible for international intelligence, and in addition, I am currently working in the Iwai Mansion, and neither the Special High Division nor the Special Agent Headquarters dare to do anything with me. Because I was recruited as a member of the military command, Iwai Ichiro knew about it.

"Considering the cipher code used by our third action group, it is exactly the same as other action groups at the Shanghai Station of the Military Command. Regarding the news of Wang Tianmu's defection three days ago, our third action group could not send a report to the General Administration of Military Control in Shancheng. Otherwise, not only will the message be intercepted by the Japanese and Wang Puppet, but this contact point that we have worked so hard to establish will also be exposed.

"Fortunately, I still have some contacts with the Central Union. Before coming here, I had already reported Wang Tianmu's rebellion to Boss Dai through the relationship between the Central Union. Before it gets dark tomorrow, Boss Dai should give the latest instructions, and I will rush over to inform you when the time comes. All four of you let me stay honest in the bakery and don't run around. ”

When Chen Lei finished saying this tirade, Xu Ning and the four of them were extremely shocked by this, like a thunderbolt from the sky, they couldn't believe their ears, they actually heard the news of Wang Tianmu's rebellion, it was unbelievable.

The first reaction of the four of them was almost exactly the same as that of Liu Jianren, the deputy leader of the fifth group of the Shanghai Station of the Central Union, and they all felt that even if one of the four of them would defect, or all four of them would defect together, they would not have thought that Wang Tianmu, who was the head of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, would defect to the Japanese and Wang Puppet.

Seeing that the four people in front of him were all shocked and stunned, Chen Lei once again comforted and advised, from now on, without his permission, no one is allowed to leave this bakery, let alone contact anyone in the outside world. Otherwise, it will be dealt with in accordance with the "family law" within the military command.

On the second floor, Chen Lei came to the hall on the first floor of the bakery, and saw all kinds of baked bread in the glass display case.

"Team leader, is there anything else you forgot that you didn't tell us just now?" Sun Chengshu, as a clerk, saw that after Chen Lei came down from the second floor, he stayed in the hall on the first floor and had no intention of leaving, so he stepped forward again and asked with a puzzled expression.

For Sun Chengshu's question, Chen Lei forcibly endured the anger in his heart, otherwise, he would really slap Sun Chengshu twice in a fit of anger, so that he could have a long memory.

If you want to talk about being a person, Xu Ning, who is also a clerk, is more discerning, and without waiting for Chen Lei to answer, Xu Ning, who is quick to speak, immediately put the most expensive bread in a paper bag, and criticized Sun Chengshu again: "Sun Chengshu, are you in water in your brain?"

"The first thing the team leader did when he walked in the door just now was to taste the bread baked in our store. The team leader finished talking to the four of us on the second floor, and now, isn't the team leader waiting for the two of us to get bread? What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get a paper bag, and put ten or eight pieces of bread in our store with the highest price and delicious bread, don't let the team leader wait in a hurry. ”
