Chapter 44: Lost
Geng Chaozhong walked into the section chief's office with a cake, and saw Liu Yiban and Cao Guangyuan sitting on the sofa gobbling up, and the coffee table was full of wheat cakes, fritters, bean juice and other breakfasts.
Hearing Geng Chaozhong come in, Liu Yiban said without raising his head:
"Hurry up and sit down and eat, the boat is at 9 o'clock, time is tight."
Geng Chaozhong answered, walked up to the two of them, tore the paper bag and spread it on the table, and the brown cake inside was exposed, exuding a pungent fragrance.
"This is the breakfast I prepared for the two section chiefs."
Liu Yiban laughed, picked up a cherry with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, raised his eyelids and glanced at Geng Chaozhong:
"Is it for us? Or is it for the beauties downstairs? ”
Geng Chaozhong smiled awkwardly, didn't dare to speak anymore, picked up a chopstick from the coffee table and started eating - when he walked back just now, he saw Zhang Guowei coming up with breakfast, and he probably saw it.
Cao Guangyuan raised his head, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, reached out and picked a cherry from the cake, with a satisfied smile on his face:
"Yo, this boss is quite real, such two palm-sized cakes, with seven or eight cherries on them, is this a cake seller or a cherry seller?"
Geng Chaozhong carefully stuffed the cake into his mouth and said:
"It's my former boss who opened a shoe store, and now I don't know why I went to Longshan Road to open a cake shop."
Liu Yiban again: "Ha! He laughed, picked up his chopsticks and pointed at Geng Chaozhong and said:
"You, you, you're going to play smart, that Zhao, what's going on with Zhao?"
Geng Chaozhong added next to him, "Zhao Chunlai."
"Yes, it's Zhao Chunlai!" Liu Yiban nodded and continued:
"That day, I passed by the cake shop on Longshan Road, and happened to meet the old man Zhao coming out, and when he saw me, he suddenly collapsed on the ground, and I also wondered what grievances he encountered, and then asked, Section Chief Cao, guess what?"
Cao Guangyuan smiled with a round face, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
He said that the fat man Zhu told him that I took a fancy to his shoe store and asked him to be filial, so he sold the shoe store 800 oceans to Zhu Muyun, and now he ran to the cake shop to serve as an accountant, and when he saw me, he thought I was going to beat him again, and he was so scared that he couldn't stand up! You say, can I be like those stolen officials? This fat man Zhu dared to ruin my reputation with a fake tiger, but fortunately he ran early! Or I'll make him look good! ”
Liu Yiban's face was filled with righteous indignation.
"Yes, yes, the section chief has always been honest and honest, how could he do such a thing?! This Zhu Fat Man is really shameless, shameless! Geng Chaozhong hurriedly said.
"By the way, Xiao Geng, do you know where this Zhu Fat Man went?"
Liu Yiban also drank the bean juice while speaking, and asked Geng Chaozhong seemingly inadvertently by wiping his mouth.
Geng Chaozhong slurred while stuffing fritters into his mouth:
"Section chief, the old fox won't tell me where he goes! He didn't believe anyone except the foreigner butler! ”
Liu Yiban nodded and agreed.
While the three of them were talking, Zhang Guowei led a few more people in, each carrying a large suitcase in their hands, and some of them were holding a few lint coats in their hands.
"Section chief, the island city is not cold in winter, lint coats are not easy to find, these clothes are still bought by us from a few Russian businessmen, all mink, but warm is warm, the style is older."
Liu Yiban nodded, didn't say much, and ordered a few people to go out.
While speaking, Geng Chaozhong also finished eating, and when he saw Cao Guangyuan and Liu Yiban walking in front of several large boxes, he quickly wiped his mouth and followed.
Cao Guangyuan picked up a leather coat, fumbled with the soft fur collar, and said:
"Section Chief Liu, you are going to see the outside, there are just two of us, and the above also told us to keep it secret, it is too eye-catching to take so many things. Besides, the east and west have already been brought to Nanjing, and we can meet as soon as we arrive in Mukden! I see, Xiao Geng and I can wear a fur coat alone. ”
"Brother Cao is also saying that my preparation will definitely not be able to catch up with Nanjing, so, let me put these things here first, and when Section Chief Cao is successful, I will let them ship them directly to Nanjing!"
"Good! Then borrow Section Chief Liu's auspicious words! Cao Guangyuan arched his hand.
Liu Yiban returned the salute and said:
"Then you explain to Xiao Geng first, I'll go out and let them prepare the carriage and horses, let's set off immediately!"
When Liu Yiban walked out, Cao Guangyuan looked at Geng Chaozhong with a smile and said:
"Xiao Geng, you accompany me to Fengtian this time, we will take a boat in a while, and it is estimated that we will arrive in Fengtian at more than 8 o'clock in the evening. How is it, have you been to Mukden before? ”
"No," Geng Chaozhong shook his head.
"Haha, I don't have either!" Cao Guangyuan laughed, "I'm a Guangzhou, I only saw snow in Jinan last year, you have to bring me your clothes, I heard that it's very cold in the northeast!" ”
"Obedience!" Geng Chaozhong hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Don't don't, don't do this, we are secretly operating this time, you call me boss, I call you Xiao Geng, I lead a small box, you carry this big box, we are light and simple, don't show your traces." You have to know," Cao Guangyuan's expression became serious as he spoke.
"If the Japanese knew our whereabouts and purpose, then we would probably not be able to return to the island city or Nanjing!"
Geng Chao was loyal, and it was true, the Japanese did not want to see the Soviet Union and the government of the Republic of China negotiate peace, and if the commissioner of the Republic of China died in Mukden, then it was likely to usher in a new round of turmoil in the relations between the two countries.
"Alright, hurry up and pack up, let's go now! The longer you stay in the island city, the more likely it is that there will be a leak, and this morning I have heard from Section Chief Liu that there are Japanese spies in Cory, but I can't be sure if there are any more. Everything will be at my command in a moment! Cao Guangyuan said in a deep voice.
"Okay," Geng Chaozhong's voice couldn't help but be lowered.
He has already realized that this secret visit will not be a smooth road, at least Zhang Haogu has already known in advance the selection of special envoys to the Soviet Union, and yesterday's collusion between Zhang Haogu and Liu Yiban and Cao Guangyuan in Baihuaju cannot be ruled out as Zhang Haogu's paralysis of Cao Guangyuan.
The two of them quickly packed their luggage and quickly went downstairs.
In front of the organ building, Liu Yiban was already sitting in the car with his guard Zhang Guowei.
"Section Chief Liu, you have to listen to my command this farewell!"
As soon as he got into the car, before his ass was firmly seated, Cao Guangyuan opened his mouth to talk to Liu Yiban.
"Oh?" Liu Yiban was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "Okay, everything is under the orders of Section Chief Cao, where to go?" ”
"Go to Yantai." Cao Guangyuan replied calmly.
"Okay, let's go to Yantai!"
Liu Yiban waved his hand, and Zhang Guowei started the car.
