Xiaobao's big pant startled the manager.

He listened to Xiaobao's words before he softened his face and smiled at Xiaobao and said, "Of course you can." But I know you're from the Northeast, and if it's a Manchukuo Bank's check, we'll have some difficulty exchanging it here. ”

Xiaobao took out three checks from his suitcase and handed them to the manager.

"One is from Citibank and the other two are from Swiss Bank." Xiaobao said.

The manager took the check, quickly took out a small magnifying glass from his pocket and clipped it to his eye socket to look at the three checks carefully. After a long time, he took off his magnifying glass and nodded in satisfaction.

"No problem. However, I still have to send a clerk to the two banks to make a trip to the two banks just to be on the safe side. The manager said with an apologetic expression.

"No problem, I can wait a while." Xiaobao said indifferently. After speaking, his hands were crossed on his waist, and it was obvious that the two qiang sleeves on his waist were exposed.

"I asked the two clerks to go separately to the two banks, and I'll be back soon." The manager said hurriedly. Then he sent two clerks to the bank to exchange the checks.

The clerk in the store asked the manager to send out the transfer of goods, and the exchange of checks. In the end, the manager personally made tea to entertain Xiaobao and Ulyanova.

From time to time, Ulyanova looked at Xiaobao with her eyes. She's just a nobleman of words. Since she was a child, she was taught by her aristocratic mother how to dress, walk, and eat, but in reality she was an out-and-out poor person. Her wealth was in the mouth of her mother, in the distant Soviet Union.

Today, Xiaobao took out so much money at one time, which really scared her. Although she knew that the money was not Xiaobao's own.

The clerks who went out to transfer goods and exchange checks came back one after another.

For the sake of Xiaobao's face as an old customer, for Xiaobao's face of buying such a large amount of goods at one time, and of course for the face of the two qiang on Xiaobao's waist, the manager gave Xiaobao a big discount. Three checks were enough to pay for everything on the list, plus Ulyanova's bag.

The banknotes in Xiaobao's suitcase did not move at all, and the manager found some money for him.

In the end, the manager happily hired two rickshaws, one for Xiaobao and Ulyanova each. They all had a lot of bought things around them.

"Boss, next time you come to Shanghai, you must come to our store." When the manager said goodbye, he held Xiaobao's hand tightly and was reluctant to let go.

Back at Sassoon House, Xiaobao asked the waiter in the building to help carry everything back to the room.

Ulyanova carefully opened the package, and more than a dozen bags were placed on the table. She held them one by one, stood in front of the mirror and took pictures like a model.

Xiaobao sat on the side, worrying about how to bring these things back to Harbin.

At dinner, Xiaobao and Ulyannova both drank a lot of wine. Maybe tomorrow the telegram from the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army will arrive, and since the mission has been completed, they will be able to return immediately.

After eating, the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room. Ulyanova's mood suddenly fell.

"Xiaobao, do you know that I already got the Red Book last month." Ulyanova said sadly.

Xiaobao's heart tightened. He knew what the Red Book in the Ministry of Intelligence was.

The intelligence department of the Kwantung Army secretly cultivated a large number of Russian armed personnel. For example, those in the Hengdao Hezi branch are. These men would enter the Soviet Union as the vanguard of the Kwantung Army's offensive to the north, and carry out tasks such as sabotaging roads, blowing up railways, blowing up warehouses, distributing leaflets, and so on.

There were also carefully selected Russians who were rigorously trained to disguise themselves as people who had crossed the border to the Soviet Union, and if they could pass Soviet screening, they would have lurked in the Soviet Union to become intelligence agents. Of course, if you can't pass the careful screening of the Soviet Union, there is only a dead end. Even if it is lurking, in the long run, it is also a dead end. Because there is always a day of exposure.

Before these Russians were sent to the Soviet Union, the last hurdle they had to go through was political study. The Red Book is not really a red cover, but that the contents are red. It includes the living habits of people living in the Soviet Union, the political situation in the Soviet Union, how to dress like a working class in the Soviet Union, and hundreds of political slogans.

After studying this book, I waited for the order to go. Many of the people sent over were lost in the sea, and there was no more news. Among those who could send back information, after careful investigation by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, there were actually some people who were used by the Soviets to transmit false information to the Japanese. Of course, the final outcome is still death.

Xiaobao suddenly had the feeling he had when he was ordered to cross the border to pick up people last time - nine deaths and one life.

Ulyanova suddenly jumped up and hugged Xiaobao tightly.

"Xiaobao, let's escape. Get out of here. Ulyanova said with tears in her eyes.

"Where to flee?" Xiaobao asked in surprise.

"This is Shanghai. You can run anywhere. You can go to the Americas or Europe. I know English, French and German, all taught by my mother. Ulyanova said.

"You've just finished your mission in Shanghai, and you've done a great job. They probably won't send you to the USSR again. Xiaobao comforted.

"Not for the time being, so what about the future? Maybe it won't be long before that's a few months away. Ulyanova choked up.

"I still have a lot of money on me. Tomorrow we will go and buy gifts for Yamaoka Michitake and Daiki Enichi. Buy a heavy gift! Can they not send you out? Xiaobao said tentatively.

"If we sneak away by boat, the intelligence of the Kwantung Army will know in less than a day. For example, when a ship docks in Xiamen to replenish supplies, for example, Japanese intelligence officers will definitely come on board to inspect it. It's the same in Hong Kong, but they're more hidden. It was even more troublesome to take a boat to the east, passing through Japan. Xiaobao said.

Ulyanova nodded with difficulty. Tears still flowed disobediently.

"Don't be afraid! With me, you wouldn't have been sent to the USSR. Something's in my way! Xiaobao had a pride in his heart and patted Ulyannova on the shoulder and said.

Late at night, Ulyanova was already asleep. But Xiaobao still didn't feel sleepy at all.

In this era of war and chaos, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. If you are going to die tomorrow, will you regret what you wanted to do but didn't do yesterday because of your sanctimony.

Xiaobao thinks about Ulyanova's affairs, and also thinks about his own affairs. He racked his brains to think about how to survive in this age of walking with his head in his hands. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "Little Bandits Breaking into the World" for free for the first time.
