Lao Hou and Lao Wu were talking about Li Yixin, when they heard the sound of cars braking on Shamao Street. Lao Hou's heart tightened, and he immediately took a feather duster and walked to the door, pretending to sweep the dust on the signboard to check the situation on the street.

He saw that Li Yixin's car had stopped at the intersection of Shamao Street, and at this time Li Yixin's personal guards were jumping out of the car and scattering to implement a guard, and ordinary pedestrians on the street began to pull over when they saw this scene, not daring to provoke these anti-smuggling team members with long guns.

Lao Hou immediately turned around and returned to the tea shop, and said to Lao Wu: "Li Yixin's car has arrived at the corner of the street, and it is very likely that he is coming to me to talk to me about the rape operation." His entourage guards have already gotten out of the car, you should have been outside Li Yixin's house to peddle pigeon eggs, those guards might recognize you. You'd better go to my inner room and avoid it, so that those guards around Li Yixin can see that you have a problem. ”

Lao Wu nodded again and again, took three steps and two steps, and then flashed into the room behind the tea shop, where Lao Hou lived as the owner of the tea shop.

Lao Hou returned to the counter, opened an account book, and at the same time fiddled with the abacus, pretending to be settling accounts, and waited for Li Yixin to come to the door.

When Li Yixin was still twenty or thirty meters away from the tea shop, he instructed the guards who followed him: "Okay, you don't have to follow anymore. I went to the tea shop in front of me for a cup of tea, and in broad daylight, no anti-Japanese element would dare to take the risk of assassinating me, unless he didn't want to live. Besides, the owner of this tea shop is a friend of mine, and he is also a person who is very relieved by Murakami Taijun, so you can just spread out around here and stare at it a little. ”

After the order, Li Yixin slowly walked forward for thirty meters and entered the tea shop. He saw that Lao Hou was settling accounts on the counter, and said with a smile: "Manager Hou is very busy, is he still settling accounts?" ”

Lao Hou looked at Li Yixin, put down the account book and abacus, and replied with a smile: "Yo, Director Li, rare guest." How? Come to me and want to have tea? Come on, come on, please sit over there. This is a small business, and I can't do it if I don't plan carefully, and I will have to rely on Director Li more in the future. ”

Li Yixin and Lao Hou sat in the corner where they could see the door of the tea shop at a glance, and then followed the previous example and made a bowl of tea for Li Yixin to boil water. Then he asked softly, "Why did you come directly to me?" Did Comrade Yin Qunli be notified of the hoeing operation? ”

Li Yixin smiled all over his face, but his tone was regretful: "The original plan we discussed was invalid. Yin Qunli is not in the office at all, I can't find him at all now, how can I inform him? He was taken out by Shinnosuke Murakami on some urgent mission, and I only found out when I asked the guards at their door after I arrived at the Stone Town Branch of the Secret Service Headquarters, and I didn't know when Yin Qunli would be back. I can't wait for the hoeing operation here, so I came to you to inform you that I need to send someone else to carry out the hoeing operation. ”

Lao Hou's eyes froze, and he was a little embarrassed: "This is troublesome, originally we designed Comrade Yin Qunli to find a way to carry out the hoeing operation." What now? Who will hoe the rape? Your every move now is watched by the guards around you, and it is definitely impossible for you to go into battle in person. The rest of your group is Mu Qingwan and Che Mei except Yin Qunli, they are lesbians, and they have never participated in such an action, so it is impossible to let them go. Hu Yongqiang is okay, but he has a very close relationship with you on the surface, and if he misses, it will involve you, which is not advisable. Do you have any good suggestions? ”

Li Yixin didn't expect that the plan hadn't changed quickly, he thought for a while and asked, "Then there are no suitable candidates in the underground party organization in Stone City?" ”

Lao Hou shook his head and replied: "It's because there is no backup plan, I originally thought that it could be handed over to Comrade Yin Qunli to deal with, so now we are a little passive." And this traitor must be eliminated today, and the more he lives, the more dangerous it will be for us! ”

Li Yixin of course agreed with Lao Hou's point of view, he sighed and said: "Yes, the plan has not changed quickly, and we don't have a backup plan Now it seems to be a mistake." What about Lao Wu? In addition to our group, I only know Hu Yongqiang, Gao Hongcheng and Lao Wu. Now it seems that if Lao Wu can carry out this task, it will be the best. Gao Hongcheng is still in the train station and has not come back, and he can only do it to Lao Wu. Has he had any previous experience in this area, and has he performed similar tasks? ”

Lao Hou nodded and said: "It can only be him, Lao Wu has carried out such a hoeing operation in Shanghai before, but at that time it was before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War." But then again, I'm relieved that he's on this mission. ”

"Alright, I'll go first. You hurry up and inform Lao Wu and ask him to get rid of that spy as soon as possible. Li Yixin wanted to stand up and leave as he spoke.

Lao Hou pressed Li Yixin, who was getting up, and said, "Don't be busy, you come to me for tea, will your accompanying guards think your actions are a little strange when you go out so quickly?" Besides, I have one more thing to discuss with you. ”

Li Yixin sat down again, took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lao Hou then told Li Yixin what he had just thought of Gao Hongcheng as dangerous, and then said: "This is one of my judgments and analysis, do you think if the real situation is like this, how likely is it that Gao Hongcheng will be exposed?" ”

Li Yixin only knew that such a thing had happened at the train station at noon at this time, he thought about it carefully and replied: "Old Hou, I agree with your judgment." If Comrade Gao Hongcheng really did what you suspected, whether or not he made his own opinion, there would definitely be sequelae in this matter. We don't know what Comrade Gao Hongcheng thought about at that time, but he decided to do so on the spot, and it must have been his reason. Since it is very likely that this will happen, it is not an exaggeration to think a little more and analyze and judge from the worst perspective. It seems that we have to think carefully about what impact Comrade Gao Hongcheng will have on our work if he evacuates Stone Town. ”

Lao Hou glanced at Li Yixin worriedly and said, "This is the most difficult place for me to do. Gao Hongcheng is working in the department you are in charge of, and once he is evacuated, the Japanese will definitely understand that he is a member of our underground party organization. Will this have any adverse effects on you later on? You need to listen to the honesty of the Communist Party members to answer me. ”
