"I'm leaving for Nanjing tonight. Boss Du, thanks to your assistance during this time in Shanghai, Lu has thanked you here. ”

Lu Zuofu visited the Du Mansion before leaving Shanghai and thanked Du Yuesheng in person for his help in this capital transfer.

Du Yuesheng returned the salute with a fist and said, "Mr. Lu is polite, it's just a modest effort, sir, please take a seat." ”

Du Yuesheng led Lu Zuofu to the living room and entertained the guests.

"Sir, please have tea."

"Thank you."

Lu Zuofu picked up the teacup, scratched it with the lid, took a sip, and praised: "Good tea." ”

Du Yuesheng asked, "Why is Mr. Lu in a hurry to return to Nanjing?" ”

Lu Zuofu gently put down the teacup and said, "It's what the chairman meant." There are waterways and land routes from Shanghai to Nanjing, but Nanjing to Wuhan must be transported by water. Now the Japanese army has intensified its bombing of the capital, and the Nationalist Government is preparing to transfer the arsenals to Wuhan. Those are all anti-Japanese capital. ”

"What Mr. Lu said is extremely true. If Shanghai can't be defended, it will be difficult to hold Nanjing without danger. ”

"Cough~" Lu Zuofu sighed and said, "It's the people who suffer." Nanjing was bombed, and those who had the power and money tried all kinds of ways to escape Nanjing. I'm now annoyed by these people who want to use my livelihood shipping to take away their private finances. At this time, the Shimonoseki wharf was already overcrowded, and the supplies were full of mountains. ”

Du Yuesheng admired Lu Zuofu's patriotic feelings of worrying about the country and the people, and was infected to a certain extent. He knew that Shanghai would not be able to be saved, and so would Nanjing, and that a large number of soldiers and civilians would inevitably move westward, which would cause a great burden to various regions and cities, especially Wuhan.

Du Yuesheng said: "I want to go to Wuhan in a few days. ”

Lu Zuofu asked, "What did Boss Du do in Wuhan?" ”

Du Yuesheng replied: "Wuhan will become the next economic, cultural, military, and political center, and then refugees and retreating troops from all over the country will also concentrate in Wuhan." Du planned to set up a rear ambulance committee in Wuhan and set up more than 40 medical teams to wait for the army to come. ”

Soon after, Du Yuesheng did fulfill his words. In Hankow, 37 medical teams were formed. However, 37 were overwhelmed, and later gradually increased to 178, with more than 3,000 staff. It has made a positive contribution to the treatment of the wounded and refugees.

Although Du Yuesheng was born in the underworld, his patriotism is not lost to anyone, so he has a certain status in history. Lu Zuofu admired Du Yuesheng's actions as much, and in this battle of Songhu, Du Yuesheng was the one who contributed the most to the society.

The two chatted in the living room for a while, Lu Zuofu got up, clasped his fists and said, "It's not early, I have to go to another place." Boss Du, let's say goodbye to it, and there will be a period later. ”

Du Yuesheng got up and asked, "Sir, are you going...... you're going?"

Lu Zuofu said: "I can't hide it, I want to visit Ye Lei before leaving." The military commander's approach is too much, the war ahead is tight, but they have detained our god of war, I want to ask them for an explanation! ”

After thinking for a moment, Du Yuesheng said: "Mr. Lu, listen to the next sentence, don't use it to discuss the law." Before leaving, it is still okay to visit your nephew. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Things are not as simple as you and I imagined, what kind of person is Ye Lei Dai Li should know, Dai Li is extremely smart."

Lu Zuofu didn't quite understand what Du Yuesheng meant, and after saying goodbye, he went to the location of the military command to see Ye Lei's current situation.

In Dai Li's office, Su Ningyi reported: "Bureau, Mr. Lu wants to see you. ”

Dai Li thought for a while and said: "I know the purpose of this person's coming, and he wants to pressure me to release him, you must know that I will not release him if I don't get what I want." You go and tell Lu Zuofu that I have important things to deal with, and I don't have time now. If he wants to, you can take him to see Ye Lei. ”

"My subordinates understand."

Su Ningyi turned around and left the office, and then took Lu Zuofu to see Ye Lei.

"Uncle Lu, why are you here?"

"Bastard thing, plaything is demoralized, you really disappointed Uncle Lu!?"

When I came to Ye Lei's room, I happened to meet Ye Lei playing cards with Chen Xiaoke, and the loser had a note on his face. Seeing this, Lu Zuofu suddenly rushed up.

Ye Lei took off the note on his face and said, "Uncle Lu, what do you want me to do?" I'm in captivity now, and I want to kill the enemy and serve the country, so I have to get out. ”

Saying that, Ye Lei walked up to Su Ningyi and said, "Even if I kill them now, I won't be able to leave." ”

Lu Zuofu asked, "What do you mean, did they do anything to you?" You tell Uncle Lu, I'll make the decision for you! ”

Dai Li had already threatened Ye Lei with poison, but he didn't get anything he wanted, but Lu Zuofu couldn't let Lu Zuofu know about it. So Ye Lei turned around and said, "It's okay." Good food and good accommodation and sent a beautiful woman to accompany me, Dai Lia is good to me. ”

"Let's talk, I'll take my leave."

Su Ningyi smiled slightly, then glanced at Chen Xiaoke, and the two left the room.

"Uncle Lu, sit down."

Ye Lei asked Lu Zuofu to sit down, and Lu Zuofu asked: "I want to leave Shanghai for Nanjing at night, and I want to see you before leaving, but ......"

Ye Lei interrupted: "Uncle Lu, things are not what you imagined. If I hadn't been imprisoned, the devils in Hongkou wouldn't have dared to attack Zhabei on a big scale. Now that the 88th Division has been deployed, a big net has been laid, and it is just waiting for the devils to come. ”

"Is it ......?"

"It's hard to explain why. I only hope that Uncle Lu will not misunderstand me, because I have always respected you. ”

Ye Lei exhaled and said, "There is not much time." Uncle Lu, you are the king of ships and the leader of the shipping industry. If you have the ability to go to Nanjing this time, you can transport more people from Nanjing. ”

Lu Zuofu said in a tentative tone: "The devil is still in Shanghai, and Shanghai has not fallen, why are you worried about Nanjing?" ”

Ye Lei said: "Whether you believe it or not, Nanjing will become hell in two months." ”

After hearing this, Lu Zuofu's face changed greatly, and he said, "Ye Lei." Uncle Lu has never wanted to pierce this layer of window paper, and now that I'm leaving, I always have a pimple in my heart. I'm pretty sure, you're not the honest and honest Ye Lei you used to be, I want to know who you are? ”

Ye Lei smiled: "I really am Ye Lei." ”

Lu Zuofu waved his hand and said, "Don't say it." It's Uncle Lu who is wrong, so he shouldn't ask more. ”

"Uncle Lu, I didn't want to lie to you, my name is really Ye Lei, the real Ye family. There are some things that are better not to say, they will kill many people and affect many people. ”

Lu Zuofu seemed to understand something, and even understood Ye Lei's situation at this time, so he stood up and said, "Okay, Uncle Lu, I should go." It's not in vain, at least I know you didn't disappoint me. ”

Ye Lei then stood up and said, "Uncle Lu take care." ”

Lu Zuofu patted Ye Lei and said, "I will." I look forward to the news of your victory in Nanjing. ”

Lu Zuofu said goodbye to Ye Lei and returned to Nanjing overnight by car. And just this morning, the Japanese army in Hongkou has launched an attack on Zhabei.
