Zhao Yujuan saw Lao Mu and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

Lao Mu couldn't help frowning. He knew the relationship between Zhao Yujuan and Nie Hengzi, but on this occasion, he couldn't distinguish the priorities and the key points, and Lao Mu was still quite dissatisfied.

"Lao Mu, let them stay alone for a while, let's go inside and talk, and when you finish listening to what I have to say, you will understand the two of them." Ye Tufei observed the change in Lao Mu's expression and persuaded on the side.

Lao Mu hesitated, but still obeyed Ye Tufei's intentions and followed Ye Tufei to the second floor.

"I know you've always been suspicious of me. I believe that you must have secretly investigated me, and knew that I Ye Tufei had some festivals with you. I don't want to give any explanation for this, because all explanations are pale until your supervisor judges. I just want to say two points to you, and after these two points are said, whether you should believe me or continue to doubt me, then it's up to you. However, I must make it clear in advance that if you still have doubts about me after listening to what I have to say, then there will be an immediate end between us, and from now on you will take your Yangguan Road and I will take my single-plank bridge. ”

Ye Tufei's straightforwardness increased Lao Mu's confidence in him by three points, if Ye Tufei really had a trick in his heart and wanted to use his old wood to eliminate the entire underground party intelligence line behind him, then he would definitely not speak like this.

Besides, Ye Tufei's request is also reasonable, since he has some doubts, it is better to break up in two.

"Say it, I'll listen to you."

Ye Tufei smiled and said: "What I want to say is that I have a little holiday with you, but this is only a matter between individuals, and little Japan invaded our country and enslaved my compatriots, ** my sister, this festival is too big." I, Ye Tufei, came to Shanghai out of desperation, and I joined the new government involuntarily, but I, Ye Tufei, will never be a lackey of the Japanese, let alone do anything that harms my compatriots.

This is the first point, and the second point I want to say is that I, Ye Tufei, have taken my brothers to fight with Little Japan, and I know how powerful Little Japan is. Your brothers of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu, who are not afraid of strong enemies, dare to fight hard with Little Japan, and I, Ye Tufei, respect them. You know, I, Ye Tufei and my brothers, all eat the food of the rivers and lakes, and the most respected are these heroes who are not afraid of death. So, anyway, I hope to help them.

That's all I have to say, think about it, I'll wait for your final decision. ”

After Ye Tufei finished speaking, he immediately got up and went downstairs.

Lao Mu stayed on the second floor, thinking alone about what Ye Tufei had just said.

In the past few days, Lao Mu's underground party organization has not only prepared for the worst and is ready to evacuate Shanghai at any time, but also investigated Ye Tufei's past through organizational relationships.

The comrades in the base area were very efficient, but in two days, they transmitted the information they had about Ye Tufei to the Shanghai side by telegram.

Ye Tufei's political election has been vacillating, but the fact that he is uncompromising with Little Japan is clear. In addition, Ye Tufei has always had a close relationship with the Xuzhou Prefectural Committee, and has a similar relationship of trust between comrades with several key members of the Xuzhou Prefectural Committee. In particular, Comrade Lu Yao, the leader of the Lingbi Mountain Base Area, commented that Ye Tufei had been misunderstood and was an unjust case.

At that time, when Lao Mu got this information, he subconsciously suspected that Ye Tufei gave up Erlang Mountain to come to Shanghai, and with his understanding of the party organization, he always felt that there must be a story in it, maybe it was a bitter plan.

This is also the main reason why he insisted on meeting Ye Tufei for a while.

Now, Ye Tufei is in front of him, although he didn't tell himself his true purpose, but what he said just now is indeed his heartfelt words.

Lao Mu thinks that he has read countless people, and in the short time of one or two hours of contact with Ye Tufei, Lao Mu judged in his heart that Ye Tufei is a man who stands up to the sky, this kind of person is absolutely trustworthy.

Standing at the staircase on the second floor, Lao Mu carefully looked at Ye Tufei's brothers again.

Needless to say, Nie Hengzi has been observed in the past two years, and the organization has determined that this person is a person who can develop into a revolutionary comrade.

That black and thin brother who seems to be called Dugu or something, you can see from his eyes alone that this person is infinitely loyal to Ye Tufei, and he can sacrifice himself for Ye Tufei at any time.

Looking at the one next to Dugu, like Dugu, he has a unique skill without showing the dew, and his words and demeanor reveal a kind of calmness, especially his eyes on Ye Tufei, whose loyalty is no less than that of Dugu.

Finally, there is the shopkeeper who calls himself the second brother, this person looks very shrewd, but his eyes reveal a down-to-earth energy, and he is by no means a treacherous person.

Things gather like people in groups, and Lao Mu trusts his instincts more and more.

He beckoned to Ye Tufei, and after Ye Tufei came up to the second floor again, Lao Mu stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ye Tufei.

Ye Tufei obeyed Lao Mu's purpose.

When the two hands were clasped together, Lao Mu said: "Ye Tufei, I have made a decision, I think you are a trustworthy person!" ”

Ye Tufei smiled faintly and said, "That's good!" Since you have chosen to trust me, everything that follows must be at my disposal. In this process, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to ask the reason, I, Ye Tufei, will tell you something today, if I fail to deliver this batch of medicines to your comrades in northern Jiangsu, the head on my neck will belong to you, and you can take it whenever you want, I have no complaints. ”

Ye Tufei's voice was not small when he said this, and I believe that the brothers downstairs should be able to hear it clearly. Out of Nie Hengzi and Zhao Yujuan, who looked up at the second floor, Ye Tufei's three brothers continued to do as if nothing had happened.

Lao Mu sighed and replied, "We have also considered the difficulty of this matter. Brother Ye, as long as you help us wholeheartedly, as for success or failure......"

Ye Tufei waved his hand and said, "If you do this according to your original method, there is a great chance of failure." But now it's according to my method, as long as you cooperate well, there is no possibility of failure! ”

Lao Mu was infected by Ye Tufei's confidence, he was quite excited to hold Ye Tufei's hand again, and said, "Since I have chosen to trust you, then I will fully cooperate with you." ”

Ye Tufei smiled, pulled his hand out of Lao Mu's hands, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Let's sit down and talk!" ”

"My first request is to immediately send Zhao Yujuan to your base in northern Jiangsu. Yujuan is a good girl, very suitable for my brother, and I really hope that the two of them will grow old. So, I don't want Miss Yujuan to get involved in this. Besides, this Yujuan's experience in struggle is too shallow, and staying in Shanghai will be a weakness for me. ”

Only then did Lao Mu understand that when he walked into the tavern just now, why did Zhao Yujuan talk to Nie Heng and me. Although these two people are people from two worlds, since they have plans to develop Nie Hengzi in the organization, Zhao Yujuan does not treat Nie Hengzi as an outsider, she really loves this son-in-law.

It seems that Nie Hengzi informed Zhao Yujuan of Ye Tufei's plan, and the parting was imminent, and the two were naturally a little reluctant.

Lao Mu also felt that it was inappropriate to let Zhao Yujuan participate in this important task, so he agreed to Ye Tufei's request without hesitation.

"The second request, you prepare a sum of money immediately, and then listen to my arrangement, we will complete the payment of the deposit first."

Lao Mu was stunned, he didn't understand what kind of path Ye Tufei was, since he had already said trust, why did he have to pay the deposit first?

Ye Tufei didn't leave time for Lao Mu to continue figuring it out, and then added: "You have to be mentally prepared that when the deposit is paid, we will be monitored by the Japanese." Of course, the Japanese will pretend to have no flaws, but I'm worried that you, an old man, can still find clues, so I want to say hello to you in advance, and what you need to do is that no matter what you find, you should treat it as if you didn't see it. ”

Lao Mu couldn't help it and asked, "Why did you do it?" ”

Ye Tufei smiled and said, "Old Mu, this is just the beginning, and you have violated my principles. ”

Without waiting for Lao Mu to explain, Ye Tufei first said hello downstairs, and then said to Lao Mu: "I know that you have a very hard time in northern Jiangsu, and it is not easy to get money to buy medicines." I have discussed with Nie Hengzi to support you with some funds. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Hengzi had already come up with a small suitcase.

"There's 100,000 yen in it, you take it, and use it when you pay the deposit!" Ye Tufei took the small suitcase from Nie Hengzi and handed it to Lao Mu.

Lao Mu was really shocked, he didn't take the suitcase, but sat down with his ass, and said, "Why are you doing this?" Brother Ye, this money ......"

Ye Tufei made a silent gesture and replied: "Principle! Don't forget the principles I agreed with you at any time, don't ask me why, just follow my arrangement. ”

Lao Mu still didn't take the suitcase, and insisted: "Tufei, Hengzi, I appreciate the kindness of the two of you, but our party also has its own principles, and we must not ...... it."

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "Lao Mu, what you call me from Mr. Ye to Brother Ye, and then to Tufei just now, I am almost a comrade in the back." Thank you for your trust! Lao Mu, I really want to thank you for your trust in me Ye Tufei. ”

Nie Hengzi made a round on the side: "Lao Mu, don't treat it as money, just treat it as a prop, a prop that can help us complete this task, isn't it okay?" ”

Lao Mu paused, pondered for a moment, and finally accepted Ye Tufei's arrangement. He took the suitcase and solemnly said to Ye Tufei and Nie Hengzi: "On behalf of our party, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to the two of you. ”
