This child is the adopted son of Chan Tsz-kun. But letting the female secretary raise it is a little unreasonable, but the affairs of the Chen family have never been measured by common sense, as long as the master is willing, it will work.

"Okay, go back and let the housekeeper arrange an old mother, a wet nurse, to take care of Xiao Nan's daily life, and leave the matter of foot correction to the doctor. Chen Zikun did not comment on Liu Ting's words, and first arranged the child's life treatment.

I heard that Chen Zikun adopted a child, Chen Mansion was full of friends that night, all of them were people who came to congratulate him, and he sent dozens of boxes just Lian Ru, Xiaobei and Yan'er were also very excited, and suddenly there was a little brother, of course the child was the happiest, Yan'er also asked Yao Yilei: "Mommy, did I pick it up too?" "Yao Yilei said that you were given by an angel to Daddy Mommy.

The family is happy, six hundred miles away in Nanjing, the snow season, extremely cold, in a private house near Sanshan Street, Hongyu curled up in the cold quilt, staring blankly at the empty cradle next to the bed, the four walls of the house, everything that can be sold is sold out, there is no rice and vegetables at home, there is no food, there is no milk, the child is not sent out, he is really going to starve to death.

Wang Zeru has been smoking outside, and his son's crisp laughter seems to be echoing in his ears, the hero has tears and does not flick, just because he has not reached the sad place, Wang Zeru's tears are flowing down in this silent night, after smoking the last cigarette, he shook his clothes and went back to the house, lying down beside Hongyu.

"Last month, Xiao Li and his wife were arrested by secret agents, and the child was sent to the nursery and froze to death in three days...... What I did was to kill my head, I could be arrested at any time, I don't want to affect you and the child, it's not a good thing for my son to be sent out, sleep, I have to go to the underground printing house tomorrow. ”

Ruby still stared blankly at the cradle, and it took a long time to close her eyes, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye.

After a long time, she still did not sleep, and the person next to her also tossed and turned, sleepless all night.

……

Chen Qingfeng is a very meticulous person, good at figuring out other people's minds, some things will take the initiative to do without Chen Zikun's instructions, Tang Yan and Chen Zikun have had a while, everyone around them knows that now Tang Yan is married to another woman, and she is also engaged in such a dangerous business, she may be arrested at any time, and it is natural to take proper care of it.

Tang Yan lived in the French Concession, and the Kuomintang spies did not have the right to enforce the law, but they often resorted to secret arrests, and they had to be guarded against.

In a room in the alley opposite the Tang family, two people were observing the situation with binoculars, and one of the young men said, "Team Leader Xu, these two people appear every afternoon, and they have been going on for three days. ”

Xu Tingge said: "It doesn't seem to be plainclothes from the patrol room, I don't know if it's a person wearing a hat." ”

The young man said, "It's very likely. ”

Xu Tingge picked up the binoculars and stared at the man who was writing hard in the distant window, and the corners of his mouth curled: "You can't let the person wearing the hat take the lead, act in advance." ”

The young man said, "Why don't you wait for the action group to come?" ”

Xu Tingge said: "Don't wait, this kind of thing must be decided immediately, and I will be responsible for what happens." ”

The two went downstairs, took out their picks and checked the magazine, hurriedly went out, went straight to Tang's house, and knocked on the door: "Check the water meter." Xu Tingge gestured to the other person, and the young man walked around to the back door.

"Wait a minute, I'll come." A man went downstairs, took a look at the crack in the door, quickly went upstairs, moved a pot of flowers from the balcony, opened the drawer and took out a small pistol to push the bullet and hide it on his body, and then went straight to the back door, and as soon as he came out, he tripped and fell to the ground, and the pistol was against his head.

Xu Tingge walked around from the front and looked at this man, a half-old cotton robe, a pair of round-framed glasses on his thin face, and ink marks on his fingers, this face he saw in the telescope every day, it was too familiar.

The man sat up, pushed his glasses, and looked at Xu Tingge with a sneer: "Check the water meter?" ”

"Tie it up and take it away." Xu Tingge's face was expressionless, he blindfolded the man with a black cloth, tied his hands, and was about to escort him away, when suddenly two patrolling Annan patrols passed by at the entrance of the alley, and when he saw this scene, he thought it was a kidnapping, and hurriedly blew the siren.

The matter was revealed, Xu Tingge and his assistant left the man and ran, ran to the intersection, but were taken down by the plainclothes of the three-gun club who heard the siren and arrived.

The man claimed to be Lu Ping, a freelancer who sold literature for a living, and lived here with his wife Tang Yan, and he didn't know why he was kidnapped.

Xu Tingge showed the pie, the patrol room of the French Concession will not dump you What is the Party Affairs Investigation Department of the Central Organization Department, he was still in handcuffs, and it was not until Cheng Ziqing, who was in charge of political cases, arrived that he unhandcuffed the two of them, saying that they had misunderstood.

"Inspector Cheng, this Lu Ping is a key criminal arrested by our Investigation Bureau, please do a favor from the patrol room and extradite him to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau." Xu Tingge made a request, and Cheng Ziqing smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

A patrol came in from outside: "Detective, phone." ”

"Less accompaniment." Cheng Ziqing came out of the cell, came to the office and picked up the microphone: "Which one?" ”

"Oh, it's Chairman Chen, it's Nong, it's this case, it's easy to say, Allah knows what to do."

Back in the cell, Cheng Ziqing smiled all over his face: "I'm sorry Team Leader Xu, just now the French governor of the patrol room called, and the case was stabbed to the top, my brother can't help it, and people can't be handed over to you for the time being." ”

Xu Tingge had no choice but to leave in a huff.

……

Tang Yan came back from outside, and when she was far away, she saw that a pot of flowers on her balcony was gone, so she immediately turned around and left, jumped on the tram and went straight to the British Concession.

Shi Liangcai still has some weight in Shanghai, a phone call to the patrol room, and soon got the news that Lu Ping was detained by the authorities, as for what the crime, the other party is unknown.

For Tang Yan, this is enough, the organization is a one-line contact, and the first thing to ensure after exposure is the safety of the higher-level organs, at this moment, she can't count on anyone, so she can only carry out rescue work by herself.

It is related to the patrol house of the concession, and it is difficult for anyone to speak, there is only one person, and that is Chen Zikun, who has had a dewy marriage with him.

At this time, Chen Zikun was discussing the situation with a group of people at home, and the atmosphere in Shanghai was tense recently, and the Japanese destroyers on the Huangpu River were aiming their guns at the Chinese border, and war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Mu Yichen said: "I don't believe that we can fight, Japan has swallowed the three northeastern provinces, and it will take a while to digest it, and Shanghai is an international metropolis, and Anglo-American law will never allow Japan to get involved in Shanghai." ”

Li Yaoting also echoed: "Little Japan is just bluffing, compared with the Americans and the United Kingdom, they are far behind, and I don't think Shanghai can fight." ”

Chen Zikun said: "The two of you don't know, the Japanese garrison in Shanghai is dominated by the navy, the Japanese navy and the army have always been at odds, the army has taken the northeast, the first place, how can the navy show weakness, Shanghai is the lifeblood of our country's economy, the capture of Shanghai, the government's throat will be choked, I am worried that they will take risks." ”

Mu Yichen said: "The Japanese government is already anxious about the affairs of the Northeast, and it is exhausted to deal with international questions, how can it start a war again, and there is no good fruit for them to eat if it provokes Britain and the United States." ”

A female voice came from outside the door: "I don't think so, the Japanese army will inevitably choose Shanghai to attack, and it will be in the near future." ”

It was Liu Ting who came in, still holding the child in her arms, shaking the child while talking eloquently: "The Great Depression in Europe and the United States has affected Japan, coupled with the fierce anti-Japanese sentiment in China, there is no way to sell Japanese goods, trade with China is three percent lower than last year, exports are declining, and the unemployment rate has increased significantly. ”

"But they have already occupied the three eastern provinces, isn't it enough!" Mu Yichen took the case.

Liu Ting sneered: "Of course it's not enough, Japan's goal is the whole of China and even East Asia, yes, they took the Northeast without much effort, but it is precisely in order to swallow this piece of meat safely and steadily, it is necessary to fight Shanghai again." ”

"I don't understand, Secretary Liu, you tell me." Li Yaoting was also confused.

Liu Ting said: "Shanghai is the economic center of China, and if you take Shanghai, you can exchange it with the Chinese government, and only one of them can be left in the Northeast and Shanghai." ”

Li Yaoting said angrily: "What the hell, Northeast China and Shanghai are both Chinese, when will it be the turn of Little Japan to call the shots!" ”

Liu Ting said: "Weak countries have no diplomacy, either keep one of them or lose both." ”

Mu Yichen said: "I understand, Japan wants to take Shanghai as a hostage in exchange for the Chinese government to officially cede the three eastern provinces. ”

Liu Ting said: "It's the twentieth century now, there will be no more ceding territory, between the intervention of the British and American powers, Japan's eating will be relatively elegant, such as supporting the puppet regime in the northeast, in fact, they have been doing this, but Zhang's father and son did not agree, it is said that the deposed emperor Puyi, who lives in Tianjin, has secretly arrived in Changchun, probably for this purpose." ”

Chen Zikun praised: "Liu Ting, your analysis of current affairs is very good, according to you, what is the probability of a war?" ”

Liu Ting said without hesitation: "Nine out of nine!" ”

Everyone was shocked.

"The Kwantung Army fought the three eastern provinces in a hundred days, almost no resistance, China's policy of non-resistance stimulated their ambitions, compared with the Northeast, Shanghai is more vulnerable, only the 19th Route Army is stationed, everyone knows that the 19th Route Army does not belong to the Central Army sequence, but the Guangdong Army, the Northeast Army does not resist in its hometown, why should the Cantonese defend Shanghai? Therefore, as soon as the war began, they were bound to withdraw, and for Japan, there was basically no risk of capturing Shanghai. ”

Everyone gasped, Liu Ting's analysis was three points, after the 918 incident, Yang Hu's Songhu garrison commander was revoked, replaced by Chen Shuming, who was pro-Chiang in the Cantonese department that was acceptable to both the Chiang and Wang factions, and the defense of Shanghai was also responsible for the 19th Route Army, according to Chiang Kai-shek's style, the ragtag army must be consumed first when it starts a war, and the 19th Route Army must not be the unjust leader, so that Shanghai will lose!

There was a deathly silence, and after a while, Li Yaoting said: "In the end, Britain and the United States will not tear their faces for the sake of the Chinese and Little Japan, and Shanghai is finished." ”

The sound of the stairs sounded, and Shuangxi came up to report: "Chairman Chen, reporter Tang is visiting." ”

"Please." Chan immediately went to the study to meet the guests.

Tang Yan's complexion was not very good, and she said hurriedly: "My husband was arrested by the patrol room, I know that you are very familiar with Cheng Ziqing, can you do me a favor?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Who is your husband? ”

"His name is Lu Ping, he is a literati, he usually writes articles for magazines, and makes a living from manuscript fees."

"No, his real name is Mai Ping, and he is an underground party!" Chen Zikun said in a deep voice.
