Late at night, Xiao Zhenlei was woken up by Wu's mother outside the door in his sleep, it turned out that there was a phone call, he put on his pajamas and got up to answer the phone in the study, "Hey? ”

Wang Yaqiao's voice came from the phone: "Brother Huanyu, it's me!" ”

"Oh, is it settled?" Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and asked.

"Things are going a little wrong, maybe a little bit of trouble!"

Xiao Zhenlei did not come to interrupt, and Wang Yaqiao continued: "The person who monitored the Xiao Mansion was killed by us, and after interrogation before doing it, it was indeed a spy of the Qing court, but there was a little accident when solving the person who was following Chen Qimei, and he ran away, that person is very strong, but he was injured, and it is not clear whether he can go back alive, but we can't help but plan for the worst!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei frowned, took a puff of cigarette and said, "That is, I have been exposed here?" ”

People engaged in the espionage industry are usually walking on the edge of the black and white world, non-human and non-ghost, most of the time it is not that the higher the skill of the spy, the more powerful the spy, the combat effectiveness is only one of the elements of the espionage ability, the most important task of the spy is to spy on intelligence, all the abilities are in the service of this purpose, but one thing is certain that the stronger the combat effectiveness of the spy, the stronger the ability to survive, which is of great help to spy on intelligence.

Therefore, when a spy finds out that someone is being followed, or feels that he is being suspected, it is not what you want to be followed (if you kill someone, you will kill it, even if you are strong and fully capable of doing it, maybe the enemy is just suspicious of you, and is not sure that you are a spy, and once you do it. Then it means that you are completely exposed, and your exposure means that your mission to spy on intelligence has failed or that you have been identified by the enemy. Xiao Zhenlei was worried that the Qing court suspected that he was related to the revolutionary party. This was something he did not want to see at this stage, and he was not ready for war with the Qing court. To start a war now can only be to waste all the previous achievements.

Xiao Zhenlei smoked silently, he didn't speak, but his mind was analyzing various possibilities, and after a while, he asked, "So there is a great possibility that we will be suspected by the Qing court?" ”

Wang Yaqiao said: "It is certain to be suspected, but I think the most suspicious of the Qing court should be Chen Qimei, after all, the person who followed him is not dead, and our people released a signal when they were chasing that person and felt that the person might escape, this signal is that the person who is pursuing is the revolutionary party, since it is a revolutionary party, it must be related to Chen Qimei." I suspect that Chen Qimei's identity has long been exposed, and the reason why the Qing court sent people to follow him instead of arresting him was actually to wipe out the revolutionary party in Shanghai! ”

Xiao Zhenlei suddenly realized something, and immediately asked: "If this is the case, the Qing court is only afraid that the net will be closed, and tonight the Qing court will definitely take action against the revolutionary party in Shanghai, have you found out who it is?" Is it the Shanghai County Government or the Daotai Mansion? ”

Wang Yaqiao on the other side of the phone said: "According to your analysis, this is very likely, but there is no news from the brothers we called the Shanghai County Ya and Daotai Mansion. If the Qing court wants to do it, I should get the news now! Unless the person staring at Chen Qimei this time is from Nanjing! ”

Xiao Zhenlei listened to Wang Yaqiao's words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said, "That's right." I remembered that some time ago, I heard the Baoshan Ge County Commander mention an incident in which Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, sent a very powerful senior spy to investigate the whereabouts of the missing arms because of the fact that a large number of arms were lost in the last dock bombing. This senior agent may suspect that the dock bombing was done by Chen Qimei and them! ”

"If this is the case, then it is likely that the Qing court has already taken action. Because if the people from Nanjing had a warrant, they would not need to inform the Shanghai county commander Li Xiumei and Shanghai Daotai Cai Naihuang to directly mobilize the patrol battalion soldiers and horses. ”

Xiao Zhenlei frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "How do you feel about the situation of the revolutionary party?" Do you know where they are in Shanghai? ”

"Figured out a few!"

Xiao Zhenlei immediately said: "Although we have taken a different path from the revolutionary party. But the purpose is the same, now our common enemy is the Qing court, we can't know that they will suffer losses and have the ability to help but not come to the rescue, you immediately send people to squat near those strongholds, once you find that there are Qing troops coming to immediately notify them to evacuate, but don't face them down, save problems! ”

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away!"

Since the last incident, Xiao Zhenlei asked Wang Yaqiao to draw a telephone line between Xiao Mansion and one of the strongholds of the secret operation team, not to connect with the outside world, the telephone line is connected to the sewers of the city streets through tunnels, not outside, and will not be discovered, so this telephone line is absolutely safe, Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao dare to say anything on the phone.

Before dawn, Wang Yaqiao made a phone call again, and the Qing court really did it, and the revolutionary party suffered a lot of losses this time, except for the few strongholds that Wang Yaqiao sent people to squat in before the arrival of the Qing army was reminded in advance, and the people inside were able to escape, almost all the revolutionary party strongholds in Shanghai County were ended, and only some hidden strongholds in the concession were spared, even some strongholds in the concession were also terminated because they were discovered by the secret agents of the Qing court. Although the men and horses of the Qing court could not enter the concession openly and arrest people, they could organize people to enter the concession under the guise of plain clothes and shoot and kill people, or break into the stronghold to make secret arrests, and then secretly bring them back to the Chinese realm.

Chen Qimei also escaped this time because Wang Yaqiao sent someone to remind her before the secret agents of the Qing court arrived, and Demar, a German dancer, was also suspected by the Qing court, but in view of her German identity, the Qing court has not done anything to her for the time being, but only sent people to monitor, and she didn't want to expose her identity and did not provoke those Qing court agents.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhenlei found that his home was being watched again when he was exercising in the courtyard, it seems that the senior spy of the Qing court still has suspicions about him, but because his identity is not ordinary, and he has a huge industry in Baoshan, so he did not do it, and now it is only in the suspicion stage, although the Qing court spy has no scruples, but he can't be completely messed up, and he can't be arrested because of anyone who has been in contact with Chen Qimei. What's more, it is still a person like Xiao Zhenlei who has a huge influence in Shanghai, not to mention his connections in the Chinese business community, even foreigners are vying to make friends with him, offending such a person, if the foreigners are looking for trouble, the high-level spy of the Qing court sent by Nanjing is afraid that life will not be easy.

Xiao Zhenlei knew that he could no longer kill this person who was watching, if he killed this person who was watching, then it would be confirmed that he was related to the revolutionary party, and if he wanted to be safe, he could only let him be monitored, as if he didn't know, he didn't tell Ma Wu, Sister Tao, Uncle Gen and others about it, but just told Zhou Chuandong that he wouldn't show any flaws in his mind.

Public Concession, Yunnan Road, Ningbo Chamber of Commerce.

The Ningshang General Association was initiated and organized by Zhu Baosan, Yu Qiaqing and other "Ningbo Gang" leaders, and held the license of the No. 1 Headquarters General Association of the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession registered by the British Government of Hong Kong. At the same time, it is also the best cover for the secret assembly of the revolutionaries and the temporary shelter from the limelight, Chen Qimei came here for refuge as soon as possible after successfully escaping the pursuit of the Qing court spies. Zhu Baosan and others don't come to the Ningshang Association every day, but there is a special person to take care of it here, so he is well received.

Lying on the couch, Chen Qimei took a few mouthfuls of red clay with a smoking gun, closed her eyes and enjoyed the pleasure brought by the smell of red clay smoke, and after smoking several times in a row, he really calmed down, and at this moment a voice came from outside: "Master Zhu, Master Yu!" ”

"Well, you go down, go to the door and watch, don't let irrelevant people wait in!"

"Yes, Master Zhu!"

Then the door was pushed open, Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing walked in one after another, Chen Qimei put down the cigarette gun and sat up when she saw this, and greeted: "Third Brother Bao, Brother Ade, you are here!" ”

The two nodded sternly, and after Zhu Baosan sat down, he frowned when he saw the smoking gun next to Chen Qimei and the red clay on the low table on the couch, and couldn't help but persuade: "Ince, this thing is not a good thing, it hurts your body if you use it too much, you are entrusted by Mr. Sun to preside over the revolutionary cause on the beach here, and there are many things in yourself, and you are afraid that you will not have enough energy to use this thing, so you can quit if you can!" ”

Chen Qimei looked at the cigarette gun and red clay when she heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for the admonition of the third brother Bao, I want to quit, but this thing can't be quit for a while, I have a lot of things, I'm afraid that I don't have this time, let's talk about it when the revolution wins, and I will use it as little as possible in the future!" ”

Yu Qiaqing saw that the atmosphere was a little bad, and immediately changed the topic: "Okay, let's talk about last night's incident first!" Ince, what happened last night, why did the Qing court suddenly attack, and what about our losses? ”

Chen Qimei's face was sad and bitter, following Boss Sun for the past few years, he pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers all day long, worried that he would be discovered by the secret agents of the Qing court, worried about being arrested by the Qing court, after several years of hard work, it was not easy to establish so many secret strongholds in Shanghai, it was a little bit of success, and finally had an explanation to Boss Sun, but who knew that it was all destroyed in one night, the brothers died, those who were caught were caught, and few could escape, and the rich peasants once became abject poverty, He alone knows the pain of his heart.

He smiled bitterly and said: "The Qing court must have noticed me a long time ago, I suspect that they have been tracking and investigating me, and the purpose of not arresting me in advance is to figure out that Guò followed me to find our secret stronghold, these people are really vicious, our efforts in the past few years have been in vain!"
