Chapter 464: It's Good to Be Alive
Lu Chengzhou didn't know that Li Xiangxue turned out to be the director of the Political Department of the 27th Detachment.
He received Tian Nanchen's notice in advance, and the next day he met at the Dahua Hotel in the French Concession.
Lu Chengzhou was very surprised, Tian Nanchen needed to meet him, just go to No. 1 Fushunli in Huangjia Garden, why bother to go to the French Concession.
The Majestic Hotel was originally a top luxury hotel comparable to the American Citizen Hotel, where pure Western cuisine is made, and there is also a rooftop garden, the most gorgeous dance hall.
After the Anti-Japanese War, it was closed for a time, and after it reopened, it was not as good as before.
Choosing the joint location here is not noticeable.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Chengzhou deliberately changed into civilian clothes and disguised himself before quietly going to the French Concession.
Lu Chengzhou's makeup is not disguised as a match.
He spent his days juggling between the Japanese and the military commanders and police officers, knowing how best to protect himself.
If you dress up with a match, once you are seen by the military commanders, there is also a possibility that something will happen.
Since Tian Nanchen asked to connect to a new place, he naturally had to use a new outfit.
He agreed with Tian Nanchen that it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Chengzhou rushed to the corner of Yingkou Road and No. 21 Road.
The Majestic Hotel is located upstairs of De Tai & Co., which was originally the former residence of Prime Minister Gu.
Downstairs is Detai Foreign Company, upstairs is changed to Majestic Hotel, the roof is a garden, even in winter, it is full of greenery.
Ten years ago, the Majestic Hotel was one of the most famous hotels in Haigu at that time.
For example, President Li, the second son of President Yuan, including the young marshal, used to be frequent visitors here.
At this time, the Majestic Hotel has lost its glory.
Lu Chengzhou first circled around Yingkou Road and No. 21 Road, he himself was trained as a special agent, and he studied at the famous police training center for two years, and his perennial latent life made him particularly sensitive to crises.
If there's something unusual around, he'll be able to see it quickly.
Observing the surroundings and looking for the best retreat route is a habit that Lu Chengzhou develops after arriving at a place.
After making sure that there was no anomaly around, he arrived at the Majestic Hotel twenty minutes early to observe the internal structure of the hotel.
Eventually, he found one where he could see the entrance on the first floor.
If he realizes that something is wrong, he can quickly exit through the back door, or directly through the roof.
Lu Chengzhou ordered a cup of coffee, staring down intentionally or unintentionally.
When a familiar figure, at five o'clock and five minutes, suddenly appeared below, Lu Chengzhou's gaze froze, and the coffee in his hand also stopped in mid-air.
Lu Chengzhou is not very familiar with Tian Nanchen's figure and posture.
Because every time he met Tian Nanchen, he took the initiative to come to the door, Tian Nanchen didn't need to move around too much, and Lu Chengzhou naturally didn't have enough conditions to observe.
However, he is too familiar with Li Xiangxue.
No matter how Li Xiangxue disguises himself, no matter what kind of environment he is in, as long as the other party appears, Lu Chengzhou can recognize it at a glance.
Li Xiangxue didn't deliberately put on makeup, he was still wearing the round black glasses, and before entering the Majestic Hotel, he deliberately stopped at the door and held the frame with his hand.
It was this familiar action that immediately attracted Lu Chengzhou.
If it weren't for being in the concession, Lu Chengzhou would have wanted to stand up and cheer loudly.
He and Li Xiangxue have not seen each other for more than a year, and Lu Chengzhou has great respect and gratitude for himself, the guide and mentor of the revolution.
Without Li Xiangxue's guidance, there would be no current Lu Chengzhou.
Lurking inside the enemy is indeed full of dangers, but being able to do something for the party and the people makes Lu Chengzhou feel extremely honorable.
Tian Nanchen had already booked a box, and after Li Xiang learned the hotel, he went straight to the box.
Lu Chengzhou was about to get up when he saw Tian Nanchen also coming in a rickshaw.
He was wearing a suit, holding a civilized stick in his hand, and his leather shoes were shiny, and when he walked into the hotel, he looked very stylish.
Doing underground work does not have to be infinitely hidden, sometimes it is a little public, but it will not be suspected.
When Tian Nanchen walked in, Lu Chengzhou got up and greeted him.
Although Lu Chengzhou was disguised, Tian Nanchen recognized his eyes at once.
The eyes of the two exchanged silently in the air, and everything was silent.
Li Xiangxue was looking out the window with his hands behind his back, and when he heard the door open, he suddenly looked back.
It has only been more than a year since I left Haigu, and I am full of emotion.
Tian Nanchen turned out to be Li Xiangxue's superior, and he and Tian Nanchen have been comrades-in-arms for many years, and they recognized him as soon as they saw it.
He walked over quickly, holding Tian Nanchen's hand tightly.
It is not easy to meet each other after more than a year in such a complex environment.
"Lao Tian, long time no see." Li Xiangxue looked a little excited.
"yes, long time no see, it's good to be alive." Tian Nanchen saw Li Xiangxue's excited appearance and said with emotion.
"yes, it's good to be alive." Li Xiangxue has a particularly deep understanding of this sentence.
This year, he participated in several battles, harsh environments, inferior weapons, and every battle, he had to pay the price of blood.
"Look, who this is." Tian Nanchen pointed to Lu Chengzhou and said with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Li." Lu Chengzhou was also a little excited when he saw Li Xiangxue.
"Ants?" Li Xiangxue said in surprise.
Lu Chengzhou opened his mouth, and he immediately heard it, and walked over and hugged Lu Chengzhou tightly.
"Comrade Li Xiangxue is now the director of the Political Department of the 27th Detachment, and he will be responsible for our liaison with the 27th Detachment in the future." Tian Nanchen whispered in Lu Chengzhou's ear.
"Sit down and talk while eating." Li Xiangxue let go of Lu Chengzhou and said happily.
He is in Haigu, and the person he misses the most should be Lu Chengzhou.
Single-based into the Japanese secret service, and at the same time has the status of a military commander, and holds a position in the police force.
No matter which side it is, if you are not careful, Lu Chengzhou's identity may be exposed.
"I have been ordered to cooperate fully with your actions." Tian Nanchen whispered.
"With your support, we will take action and get twice the result with half the effort." Li Xiangxue said.
The 27th detachment had just arrived in Santangpu and had not yet gained a firm foothold, and if it had the support of the Haigu underground party, it would have been easier to strike at the Japanese invading army.
"Mr. Li, the Japanese army's grain warehouse in Dazhigu was burned, did you do it?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Yes." Li Xiangxue nodded.
"It's a pity that not a single grain of so much grain has been shipped out." Lu Chengzhou said with emotion.
"Don't worry, there will be a chance." Li Xiangxue said firmly.
Tian Nanchen and Lu Chengzhou were both in Haigu, and Li Xiangxue was full of confidence in the actions of the 27th detachment in the future.
The three of them knew that although it was fun to get together, the more important thing was to work.
Li Xiangxue rarely came to Haigu, and with his identity, it was impossible to come often in the future.
Therefore, how the Haigu underground party can better cooperate with the 27th detachment has become their main topic of discussion.
