Chapter 526: The Gold Robbery Thirteen
Things always come when you don't think they will come!
The Spring Festival of the Lunar New Year is about to pass, but under the violent oppression and crazy plundering of the Japanese army, it has become a great difficulty for the people of Shanghai to even eat.
Originally known as the ten-mile foreign field, it can also be called a prosperous public concession in the whole of Asia, but it was turned into a lifeless ghost town by the Japanese army for more than a month, and most people did not dare to go out easily except for buying some daily necessities on the street.
After the Japanese occupied the public concession, they first attacked the foreign banks and the four major banks of the Yamashiro government, and by 26 December, in addition to the four major banks, the British, American, and Dutch banks in Shanghai were all open for business, but the ownership became the Bank of Japan.
The Japanese army stipulated that foreign nationals in the public concession could withdraw 4,000 yuan of legal currency per month from the bank as living expenses, but in fact, the legal tender was not seen, and it was actually a military ticket!
In stark contrast is the Hongkou district, which is largely occupied by Japanese expatriates, some of whom have lived for many years and are accustomed to the traditional Chinese New Year, making it particularly lively.
"Dear Brother Mingxiang, I think when you received this letter, I had already embarked on a long journey to the north, and a new career began to start a journey, to fight against the aggression and poison of the Japanese invaders, and to do a little bit for the country and the people."
"With a new identity, I stepped into the cruel environment, accepted the tempering of the wind and snow, and hoped to become a useful person, no longer a flower in the greenhouse, and grow under your care."
"Originally, I just wanted to be your wife, enjoy the sweetness of love and the warmth of family, tidy up the housework for your children, and wait for your return every time, but now, I can only say I'm sorry."
"I feel proud and proud of so many comrades who have gone forward one after another, never feared the threat of death, and sacrificed everything for the anti-Japanese cause, and I will be one of them."
"You know my character, but I want to tell my dear brother Mingxiang that I am not willful, but I have really made an important choice for my life, I hope I can get your understanding, just as you did not prevent me from joining the underground party."
"I know that you have your own ideas, your own attitude to life, and your own persistence, I respect your decision, I just hope that you can give some convenience and support to the anti-Japanese cause within your ability, we are all Chinese people with the same roots, and we are inseparable from each other."
"Maybe the road I'm taking is very dangerous, maybe I can't see you again, but this is my choice, no one forces me, you know the situation in Shanghai best, so many anti-Japanese people died, they are not wrong, I don't think I am wrong!"
"If conditions permit, I will write to you, maybe you can't accept such a reality for a while, but I always feel that you will understand me after all."
"I have never changed the slightest bit of my love for you, although I chose the latter between my small family and everyone, I think this act is selfless and frank, but between us, it is selfish!"
"A thousand words converge into one sentence, let time verify everything, maybe there is the impact of the war between Japan and the United States, we will meet in a few years, I wish you to take care of yourself and be safe, may I still be your favorite little sister when I return......"
Chen Mingxiang looked at the letter, the expression on his face was very calm, he couldn't see the slightest fluctuation, he read it back and forth twice, and then burned the letter with a lighter.
Of course, he knows Lu Kunyu's character, as long as he makes a decision, even he will not let her change, and he also knows another meaning of this letter.
Zheng Tonghui on the other side looked a little nervous, perhaps because he was worried that he would be angry with the underground party because of this, and there would be some unpleasant scenes in the cooperative relationship between everyone.
"Mr. Chen, Kun Yu is doing this......" Zheng Tonghui was interrupted as soon as he said this.
"I didn't stop her from joining the underground party when she first joined the party, I have already considered that there will be this day, don't I have contact with you now? If this is detected by the Japanese, it is also a matter of life and death! ”
"Don't worry, I haven't changed my attitude towards the underground party because of her, we will stay the same, I hope we can live to breathe free air one day!" Chen Mingxiang said.
How did these two people know that they are also pure anti-Japanese people, and I also understand the truth you know. Since the little junior sister cuts first and then plays, it may be a good thing to do this, but it is dangerous outside the border, isn't the Shanghai market dangerous?
After graduating from the secret training class of the Military Command Bureau and setting foot on the land of Shanghai again, he was already mentally prepared to sacrifice at any time, who would dare to say that he would never be discovered by the enemy until he lurked until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War?
In the past, I just thought that I wanted to protect my little junior sister, but if something happened to me, what would my little junior sister do?
If the little junior sister is engaged in underground work in Shanghai and is discovered by the Japanese, what will she do?
He is a strategic agent of the Military Command Bureau, to put it mildly, even if something happens to the little junior sister in front of him, he can't act rashly, which is the same as the choice made by the little junior sister.
"Jingle bell!"
Chen Mingxiang, who was in a bad mood after all, was sitting in the office of Huatong Trading Company in a daze, when suddenly the phone rang, he picked up the microphone and hung up a minute later.
This is not the secret information of the direct station, but Lin Shaozuo called, Wu Sibao arrived in Suzhou on the afternoon of the second day, suddenly said that it was a stomachache, yelling, limbs spasms, blue face, sweating profusely, and soon died in a hospital in Suzhou, and the "conclusion" given by the doctor was "colic" to death.
She Aizhen, who was full of grief, hurriedly bought a coffin shroud after receiving the news, drove to Suzhou, pulled Wu Sibao's body back to Shanghai overnight, set up a mourning hall at home, and Li Shiqun and his wife also came back together.
After getting this news, all the high-level officials in the secret service headquarters outside, no matter how bad the relationship with Wu Sibao usually is, or return to Shanghai to worship Wu Sibao, the death is great, what else is there to worry about with a corpse?
"Commissioner Chen, this thing is a little wrong! Sibao was fine when he left, he just arrived in Suzhou for one night, and the next day he got colic, and he died when he was sent to the hospital, I felt too strange! Pan Da, who was waiting outside the gate, said when he saw Chen Mingxiang.
"Don't jump to conclusions, this is not a trivial matter, what did Minister Li say about this?" Chen Mingxiang asked in a low voice.
"I heard Ai Zhen's sister-in-law say that Minister Li suspected that the gendarmerie had given Sibao chronic poison because of the gold robbery, but she didn't believe this statement, the Japanese wanted to poison Sibao, there was no need to release him, he could be killed in prison." Pan said.
