At about eight o'clock in the morning of August 16, in the No. 76 confinement room, Guo Xuan slept and got up, after he was detained here, Li Shiqun and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao did not show up, Ni Xin politely invited him to take a hot bath, and changed into a new clothes inside and out, which was equivalent to a thorough body search in disguise.

From the moment he fell into the trap at the gate of Jimin Hospital, Guo Xuan made up his mind: he would never betray the country and betray the country. It was this philosophy that allowed him to escape from the Siberian forced labor camp in Soviet Russia.

Ni Xin and Zhao Jingdong, who were accompanying in the room, stayed awake all night, and when they saw Guo Xuan get up, Zhao Jingdong quietly went out to call Li Shiqun's special line. Ni Xin said with a smile: "Mr. Guo slept well? The conditions are limited, so you are wronged. Ni Xin secretly admired Guo Xuan's psychological element: being in the tiger's den, his life is on the verge of death, but he can sleep peacefully all night. It can be seen that this person has long put life and death out of the way.

Guo Xuan hummed and walked to the bathroom, which was fully equipped with a full set of brand new toiletries. When Guo Xuan walked out of the bathroom, Ni Xin invited him to the outer room, where English morning tea was already prepared on the table. Ni Xin smiled: "Mr. Guo is from Hong Kong and studied in the UK, I don't know and don't agree with your tastes?" ”

Guo Xuan still ignored him, sat down and shook off the napkin, picked up the knife and fork to eat. After finishing the meal, I only heard the sound of the guards standing up and saluting outside the door, Li Shiqun walked in and said with a smile: "Lao Guo, it's been more than two years, but I didn't expect to invite you here." Look at your complexion is not very good, the body is the capital, you have to pay more attention. ”

Guo Xuan smiled and said: "This is all thanks to you, Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory opened, you sent someone to cause an explosion on the day of the big day, I unfortunately caught up, head injury, I had to do everything possible to come to Shanghai for treatment, I wanted to come quietly, go quietly, who knew that you were stirred up again." ”

Li Shiqun laughed: "That's what you're wrong, since you're here, why don't you even say hello to old friends?" Lao Guo, I am very benevolent to you, for fear of affecting your feelings and not conducive to treatment, I specially explained that I will wait until you are discharged from the hospital, and then invite you to come here to talk about it. ”

"So I have to thank you? first cured me of the disease, and then arrested me, inevitably interrogated by torture, and in the end I will still die in your hands, Lao Li, do you think you are boring? ”

"Lao Guo, you misunderstood, how could I torture and interrogate you?"

"So you don't want to get what you need from me?"

Li Shiqun smiled and replied, "Of course I want to, but I never make it difficult for my friends." Lao Guo, in the days of Nanjing and Chongqing, we got along well, what do you think of me, I don't know, Li does treat you as a friend. Old friends reunite, I'll keep you for a few days, if you think Li is still sincere in hospitality, and you are willing to say something to repay me, I can't ask for it; If you refuse, I'll let you go. ”

Guo Xuan smiled dumbly: "Really? Do you want to keep me for a few days? ”

"You are now in my grasp, why should I lie to you? Well, I'll keep you for five days, and you can say nothing for those five days, and I won't force it. As long as you can do what I want, I'll let you go in five days. ”

Guo Xuan smiled: "How are you going to arrange these five days?" ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything that violates your principles of life, but I just want you to accompany me to meet some guests who also admire and respect you, such as your senior at the Royal Military Academy of the Duke of St. York, General Kage Satsuaki and others. Today is the 16th, and I'll let you go at 10 a.m. on the 20th. Of course, if at that time, you are willing to say something to repay me, or even willing to stay and work with me to build the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle together, Li can't ask for it. ”

Guo Xuan sneered: "I estimate that you will be disappointed, and you will definitely break your word." ”

"You won't believe what I say now, but fortunately, five days will pass in a flash, and when the time comes, you will understand that Li is a gentleman who promises a thousand dollars."

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Jinsong ventured directly to the Baiwei Zhai vegetarian restaurant. Zhou Chengbin was a little surprised: "Is there something wrong?" "The two had agreed not to appear in the same place at the same time as much as possible before the completion of the Golden Cicada Project.

"Look at this." Chen Jinsong handed Zhou Chengbin a copy of the "Declaration" of the day: "It is also available in other daily newspapers, and the content is exactly the same, and I estimate that it is a press release provided by No. 76." The radio station also broadcast it just now. One of my agents, who has developed two peripheral members at the Shimbun newspaper, has just urgently contacted his upline and said that there was a press conference on the 76th this morning and that he had already arrived. Stationmaster Zhou, do you think this news is true or false? Why hasn't there been news from the Eighty-Sixth? ”

Zhou Chengbin thought for a moment and judged: "The news should be true, Guo Xuan has an accident!" If it is fake, Eighty-Six will definitely try to send the message so that we are not misled into taking action and causing losses. Only this news is true, and No. 76 has no intention of hiding it, so No. 86 doesn't need to risk contacting us. ”

"You're right, Stationmaster Zhou, how do you think we can rescue you?"

"Rescue? You mean rescue? ”

Chen Jinsong nodded and said, "Of course we want to rescue, I think the first thing to do is to contact No. 86 to discuss how to act." ”

Zhou Chengbin closed his eyes and pondered, and sighed after a while: "If Guo Xuan hadn't taken the risk of rescuing me from the Japanese puppet traitors, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope for success today, how could Li Shiqun fall into the same trap twice - you don't have to say it, immediately contact the headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau, report this emergency, and wait for instructions." You go back first, and if the bureau headquarters orders a rescue, I will send someone to inform you. ”

At eight o'clock in the morning, at the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau, Mao Renfeng received a secret telegram from Shanghai Station, he was taken aback, and ordered: "Come on, contact Boss Dai, I want to see him." ”

Soon, Secretary Wang came in and reported: "Boss Dai left for Kunming an hour ago, and he should still be on the way, so he can't be contacted for the time being." ”

Chongqing is nearly 1,000 kilometers away from Kunming, and it's too late to ask for instructions, what should I do? Mao Renfeng hesitated again and again, and called Secretary Wang: "Order the Telecommunications Department of the Bureau Headquarters to deactivate all passwords that Guo Xuan knows and enable backup programs." Immediately, the assistant of No. 86 ordered her to inform No. 86 that she must remain silent and not take any action, otherwise military law will be involved! Zhou Chengbin of the Shanghai station of the secret telegraph is not allowed to act without authorization, and continues to collect information about Guo Xuan and report it at any time. "Some of the passwords were edited by Guo Xuan, and more were used after a slight change on the basis of Guo Xuan's programming, and the disabling of the password would cause the military to have telecommunications communication poor, or even partial paralysis, but I couldn't care about it.

Secretary Wang's heart moved, what did it mean that the secret telegram No. 86 and Shanghai Station could not act, he knew too well: "Yes, my subordinates will do it." ”

At a quarter past 9 o'clock on the morning of 16 July, when the scheduled news conference had not yet begun, more than 10 reporters in the lounge were discussing privately and looking out. There are also some reporters who came late, did not have the qualifications to enter the office building to participate in the reception, did not give up, lingered at the door, hoping to gain something, after hearing that after the reception, No. 76 will distribute text materials and photos, can not participate in the meeting, get these can be regarded as an explanation. The doorman of No. 76 was uncharacteristically unconventional and did not interfere.

Suddenly, Li Shiqun was in front, Guo Xuan was behind, followed by Ni Xin, Zhao Jingdong, and Zhang Shengyu, and the five of them walked from the basement to the first floor. The reporters rushed up, blocked the way of the five people, and began to ask questions: "Director Li, this is Mr. Guo Xuan Guo of the Chongqing Military Command, right?" We've seen pictures of him. Hello Mr. Guo, I am a reporter from "Declaration", can you say a few words to our readers? ”

"Mr. Guo, hello, I am from "Current Affairs News", why are you with Director Li? Have you been subjected to inhumane treatment? ”

"Mr. Guo, I'm from Shanghai Radio, please say a few words to our audience......

Ni Xin and Zhao Jingdong hurriedly stepped forward, with a kind attitude, but they were very resolute to stop: "Please don't affect official business, let me go, the press conference will be held soon, and I will deliberately set aside time for you to ask questions." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay out of the way, come on, ladies and gentlemen, please go back to your room. Okay, well, there will be time, and if you don't listen to the dissuasion, we will disqualify you from the conference. This lady, say you, don't take pictures, or I'll confiscate your camera - okay, forget about what you took before. ”

Liu Zezhi, who had been accompanying the reporters, also helped dissuade him, and took several agents of No. 76 to block the reporters, Li Shiqun and others left the scene and came to a reception room, where Ying Zuo Zhenzhao waited, and he got up to greet him: "Mr. Guo, fortunately, please take a seat." Li Sang, you are busy, there is no need to accompany you here, we old alumni chatting with each other. ”

Li Shiqun said with a smile: "Then don't disturb the two of you to catch up." Mr. Guo, General, at the Great World Theater in the evening, it was Boss Shang's "Cosmic Edge", and I booked two private rooms, please enjoy the light. ”

"Great, although Ying Zuo is Japanese, he is obsessed with the art of Peking Opera in your country, and Boss Shang Xiaoyun is my idol, so he will definitely attend. Mr. Guo, you won't refuse, right? If he is in a bad mood because of gains and losses, Shadow Zuo does not dare to force it. ”

Li Shiqun and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's intentions, why doesn't Guo Xuan understand? They wanted to create the false impression that they had cooperated with the Japanese puppets and attack the military command. However, Guo Xuan has his own ideas: no matter how the opponent whitewashes, once he has the opportunity to escape, the truth will be revealed, even if he has no chance to escape, whether it is self-judgment or death at the hands of Li Shiqun, after martyrdom, what Li Shiqun did will become a joke.

Guo Xuan replied: "I am also a loyal audience of Boss Shang, so I naturally can't miss such an opportunity." ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was very happy and said, "I didn't expect our senior brothers to have the same hobby. Sir George was obsessed with chess, and many of his disciples were influenced by it, so they could get a glimpse of it. A contest? ”

Guo Xuan nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

Back in the office, Li Shiqun ordered Zhao Jingdong: "From now on, all the operation personnel of No. 76, including Asano's subordinates, will be under your command." Asano is your assistant with one click. To monitor Guo Xuan closely, it must be foolproof. If Guo Xuan escapes, you will apologize for your crimes. ”

Zhao Jingdong responded: "Yes, please rest assured Director Li, you and the general will take Guo Xuan to the Great World Theater in the evening, and your subordinates will arrange agents in advance to pretend to be theater waiters, actors, etc., to ensure safety, and then to prevent reporters from approaching Guo Xuan." ”
