February 14, 26 years of the Republic of China.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Sunday.

Shanghai Railway Station.

Zhang Anping and Zeng Moyi came out of the train station.

In the past, the railway station has always been crowded, but at this time, the Shanghai railway station is rare and clean.

Occasionally, travelers rush into the station and rush to the waiting room.

Zeng Moyi took Zhang Anping's arm, swept his gaze from the almost unmanned train station, and said:

"Shall we go home first?"

For her, home is the cottage that Zhang Guanfu bought - for Zhang Guanfu and his wife, it is the memory of the struggle in Shanghai, but for Zeng Moyi, it is a harbor.

belongs to her and Zhang Anping's world.

Zhang Anping shook his head: "I'll send you to the warehouse first." I'm going to Jassiyi Road to do something. ”

Jia Xiyi Road, located in the French Concession.

There is a property in the name of the special group, and the person who lives there at this time is called Qu Yuanmu.

Zeng Moyi knew that Zhang Anping was finally going to arrange Qu Yuanmu.

She nodded obediently.

After the two left the train station, they were about to take a ride, but they saw a little girl holding a rose The little girl was selling the roses in her arms, and after seeing Zhang Anping and Zeng Moyi, the little girl trotted over:

"Uncle, buy a flower for your beautiful sister."

Zeng Moyi shook her head at Zhang Anping, but Zhang Anping smiled and took out a wad of money and stuffed it into the little girl's hand:

"Then I'll buy it all!"

The little girl said excitedly, "Thank you, uncle." ”

After taking the flowers, Zhang Anping smiled and gave this large bouquet of roses to Zeng Moyi, after Zeng Moyi took it, she smiled happily, but muttered in her mouth:

"Waste."

Zhang Anping smiled and said nothing, and after the two walked a few steps, Zhang, who had just made a big move, stopped regretfully.

"What's wrong?"

"The little one called me uncle? Call your sister? ”

Zeng Moyi couldn't help laughing when she heard this, while Zhang Anping turned around and shouted at the little girl who was almost out of sight:

"Little brat! I'm my brother! I'm a young and handsome older brother! ”

"Okay, okay, you're not ashamed!" Zeng Moyi hurriedly stopped Zhang Anping and pulled Zhang Anping to "run away".

……

Illegal salt warehouse.

Yu Xiuning, Chen Ming and Xu Zhongyi are happily soaking in hot pot.

Taking advantage of Chen Ming's assignment by Yu Xiuning to get wine, Xu Zhongyi said with a smile:

"Sister, when will you marry our old Chen?"

Yu Xiuning glared at Xu Zhongyi: "What nonsense? ”

"Nonsense? Am I talking nonsense? Xu Zhongyi laughed evilly: "Last night......"

"Shut up!" Yu Xiuning, who never blushed, blushed in shame and hurriedly scolded Xu Zhongyi.

Xu Zhongyi covered his mouth and snickered, and the angry Yu Xiuning said angrily:

"Looking for a fight, aren't you?"

said that he was about to pinch people, so frightened that Xu Zhongyi retreated: "Let's pinch Lao Chen!" I can only let Gu Yufei pinch it! ”

"Roll the calves!"

Yu Xiuning was annoyed and ashamed.

Chen Ming came back with two bottles of red wine, and saw that Yu Xiuning and Xu Zhongyi seemed to be "flirting and scolding", and said with sour water: "Brother, you have to pay attention to proportion." ”

"There is a way that a friend's wife cannot be bullied, you ......"

Chen Ming was about to give Xu Zhongyi a thorough explanation, but a faint voice sounded like a mess:

"You're welcome to be a friend's wife."

Chen Ming was furious, Xu Zhongyi was protected by his own daughter-in-law, Lao Tzu didn't dare to provoke, besides him, which bastard dared to tease me like this?

"You're welcome your ......"

He immediately scolded, but the last few words were stuck in his throat.

Then it turns into a shiver:

"Old, old, teacher."

The person who came was naturally Zhang Anping, who came back with Zeng Moyi, he sat next to the hot pot unceremoniously, and said with a smile:

"Do you want to greet my uncle?"

He actually deliberately joked, but he seemed to be too majestic among the students, and Chen Ming couldn't bear such a joke.

Chen Ming trembled again, and Yu Xiuning on the side hurriedly turned on the husband protection mode when he saw this:

"Teacher, why did you come back so early? Madame, you sit here. ”

Glancing at Yu Xiuning, who was full of spring breeze, Zhang Anping smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I'll be late, and I have to be a grandfather." ”

Facing the teacher's ridicule, Yu Xiuning blushed again, then glared at Chen Ming fiercely, and whispered:

"Teacher, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Anping said with a smile: "I'll go through the formalities in a few days." We have limited conditions now, and it is impossible to do a big job, but we have to have everything that should be there - Chen Ming, I will be the elder of the woman, if you kid has a bad attitude, be careful that I break your dog's legs! ”

Chen Ming was overjoyed when he heard this-of course, not because he would break the dog's legs, but because the teacher agreed to it!

Yu Xiuning was also happy, she had been worried that Zhang Anping would not agree.

The two glanced at each other, and tacitly planned to kneel down to Zhang Anping, acquiescing to this elder, Zhang Anping waved his hand:

"Okay, okay, don't come to this set, when we run errands after a while, you two can kneel and toast me with a bowl of tea."

Yu Xiuning said sincerely: "Teacher, one day as a teacher and a father for life, after X (I won't write this word, lest this building drive collectively) students must regard you as a father." ”

Zhang Anping is now wearing a face of vicissitudes, otherwise Yu Xiuning, who said this, would probably be ashamed to death.

Zhang Anping smiled and waved his hand.

Because of him, an uninvited guest, the food of this hot pot was slightly restrained, especially Xu Zhongyi, who dodged vigorously, for fear of being picked out by Zhang Anping.

But this ostrich mentality is useless, after Zhang Anping finished eating, he looked at Xu Zhongyi as soon as he put the chopsticks down.

Xu Zhongyi said cautiously:

"Teacher, you can eat some more ......"

"I want to eat people - Xu Zhongyi, can you be reliable? If I'm not mistaken, I assigned the task of catching Qu Yuanmu for two months, right? ”

Zhang Anping glared:

"What about people?"

Xu Zhongyi cried with a sad face: "Teacher, he may have left Shanghai!" ”

"Fart!"

"I received a wire report that Nocturne Motoki appeared in the orphanage on Xiafei Road on Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"If you arrange people there, can Qu Yuanmu leave?"

Xu Zhongyi looked remorseful, and then whispered: "Teacher, Yanguan is now run by me as a monolith, Qu Yuanmu is irrelevant, let him die." ”

In fact, Xu Zhongyi has been "yang and yin", and he has not looked for Qu Yuanmu much at all.

Although he took the salt pass from Qu Yuanmu's hands, he always felt that Qu Yuanmu was okay, and there was no need to find out and kill him.

The teacher didn't even kill Liu Fengqi, why did he become angry with Qu Yuanmu?

"You bastard! When did I say I was going to kill him? I want you to take him out and train him to be our own person, and leave him in Yanguan to work for us!" ”

Zhang Anping said angrily: "Do you really want to keep the salt until you are old?" ”

Xu Zhongyi suddenly muttered:

"Actually, I keep the salt pass...... Pretty good. ”

Zhang Anping looks like he hates iron but not steel:

"Three days! If you can't find Qu Yuanmu for three days, you can get out of here with me from Yanguan! ”

……

In Zhang Anping's planning, Xu Zhongyi really doesn't have to stay in Yanguan.

It's too wasteful to put this guy in Yanguan, and now that Yanguan is stable, it's time for Xu Zhongyi to move his ass.

He planned to put Xu Zhongyi in the tobacco company and let Xu Zhongyi toss hard - there is still half a year before the Battle of Songhu, and before the Battle of Songhu begins, if this product can be tossed out, Xu Zhongyi will have to deal with global trade.

During the eight-year all-out war of resistance, the reason why the military command was able to grow in scale was because of the smuggling and trafficking of opium.

That's why we can support a 50,000-scale spy team and a 200,000-scale armed force.

Coming from the later generations, it is naturally impossible for him to be contaminated with this thing, and the special team must be mixed in Shanghai, and the larger the scale, the better.

The support of the headquarters is bound to be limited, and the way to get money is bound to be carried out.

The bristles are prepared with one hand, and Xu Zhongyi is naturally also prepared with one hand.

The three companies that were crowdfunded, he would sell them before the Battle of Songhu, and then start a new business to get a hidden industry, which is also a preparation.

And then...... There are still five, six, seven or eight hands to prepare, and they all have to be done during this time.

While driving and thinking, I soon arrived at Jia Xiyi Road in the French Concession.

Parking two kilometers away from the safe house, Zhang Anping walked to the safe house.

Inside the house, Qu Yuanmu was studying the textbooks left by Zhang Anping - his cultural level was average, and he put on makeup at the end of December and entered the training class to stay until the February holiday, and after staying for more than a month, he felt that his culture was insufficient, so he asked Zhang Anping for textbooks and took advantage of this time to study hard.

Suddenly, he felt something strange in the room, and when he looked up, he found Zhang Anping standing in front of him like a ghost, staring at him motionless.

"Old, Chief Zhang!"

Qu Yuanmu stood up respectfully, wanting to be a teacher, but he was afraid that Zhang Anping would not like it, so he hurriedly changed his name to Chief Zhang.

Zhang Anping sat down, motioned for Qu Yuanmu to sit, and said at the same time: "You can also call me teacher in the future." ”

Qu Yuanmu was pleasantly surprised in his heart and hurriedly called the teacher.

"Look at this - this is an investigation report on Liu Fengqi during this time." Zhang Anping took out a document and handed it to Qu Yuanmu:

"Your boss is really not simple, after three months of being a bad gambler, he finally started to move."

Zhang Anping sighed in his heart, fortunately, he had never underestimated anyone, otherwise he would have been bitten by Liu Fengqi, a poisonous snake.

Qu Yuanmu took the document and looked at it carefully, looked at him and frowned, and said, "He really hooked up with the Japanese!" ”

"Expected." Zhang Anping was very calm, from the moment he left Liu Fengqi alive, he pondered that this guy might have to take refuge in the Japanese - not that he was an unpredictable prophet, but a person like Liu Fengqi who rose to power in the gang, and it was inevitable that his mind would be distorted after losing his status.

At this time, if someone can make a comeback or take revenge on him, it is very likely that he will sell his soul and ancestors.

Or is it that sentence, power is a drug, after tasting it, how many people can quit?

Qu Yuanmu was disappointed in Liu Fengqi in his heart.

"I used to want you to make a feud with me, but I was lucky not to die after being shot, so as to win the trust of the Japanese."

"But since Liu Fengqi has taken refuge in the Japanese, then your undercover plan will be changed. You can attach yourself to Liu Fengqi, and with his protective net, your safety can also be guaranteed. ”

Zhang Anping naturally wouldn't tell Qu Yuanmu that he had planned to let him go undercover by Liu Fengqi's side from the beginning.

"Yes!"

Qu Yuanmu replied without hesitation.

He and Liu Fengqi have no real hatred, and it is not him who took Liu Fengqi's salt pass, he is just a puppet who was helped up - the kind that was abandoned in the end.

It's like a night pot that can't be used.

Moreover, even if Liu Fengqi was down, he did not show off arrogantly, but persuaded Liu Fengqi to stay away from the casino and leave Shanghai again and again.

"You pay more attention to Zhan Zhenshan."

"Boss Zhan?"

Qu Yuanmu was puzzled.

"I suspect that Liu Fengqi's defection to the Japanese is caused by Zhan Zhenshan's matchmaking. I sent someone to investigate Zhan Zhenshan, but I couldn't find out that he was involved with the Japanese. ”

"But he came from exile from the Northeast after 918, and the Northeast helped investigate him, and his traces were erased cleanly."

"Clean?" Qu Yuanmu didn't understand.

"The village where he was born was destroyed by the Japanese. His old network of connections disappeared neatly under the butcher's knife of the Japanese. Zhang Anping said with a straight face: "In this case, if someone impersonates Zhan Zhenshan's identity, who do you guess he will be?" ”

Qu Yuanmu blurted out: "Japanese spy? ”

"That's right! And I guess there are not a few Japanese spies like this! Zhang Anping said: "The preparations made by the Japanese in order to annex our country are far from what we can imagine - Yuanmu, from now on, you will dance with wolves, remember, there will be no one around you who can be trusted, even if someone contacts you in my name, you must not be trusted." ”

"Unless you hear about my death, you're the only contact you have, understand?"

Qu Yuanmu, who has been studying information science for more than a month, naturally knows the meaning of these words - this is the greatest guarantee for his own safety.

For undercover agents, the fewer people who know their identity, the better!

"Teacher, I understand."

Zhang Anping patted Qu Yuanmu on the shoulder and said, "I'll take you out the day after tomorrow." ”

Qu Yuanmu took a deep breath and nodded-the day after tomorrow, he was going to be shot.

I hope the teacher will be on time.

……

After returning to Shanghai from Nanjing on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Anping was so busy that he didn't even have time to catch his breath.

He is burying "nails" everywhere.

Among them are students from the Qingpu class, members of the Shanghai Cooperative Association, and more than a dozen members of the Youth Gang.

These people have been carefully selected by Zhang Anping in the past two months, and in the future, they will try to find ways to establish contact with the target person, and the ultimate goal is to become the target person's trusted "friend".

Except for a few of them, most of them are not of high secrecy level, and are not directly under the leadership of Zhang Anping, specifically five to seven "nails" are in charge of a member of the special group, and in the future after the fall of Shanghai, the contact person will be changed according to their situation.

And each member of the special team responsible for contacting the "nail" will not have horizontal contact with other teammates, and will "establish a career" and enter a silent state after receiving the task.

More than 10 members were added to the special group a year ago, and the whole group once exceeded 40.

During the arrangement of the nails, Qu Yuanmu also completed the lurking.

Here's how it happened:

When he went to the orphanage again, he was discovered by the secret post arranged by Xu Zhongyi, and the secret post immediately informed Xu Zhongyi, and Xu Zhongyi led people to arrest Qu Yuanmu and escaped.

Xu Zhongyi, who was armed with a gun, shot during the pursuit, and his marksmanship was great, and one shot hit Qu Yuanmu.

But when he was about to take Qu Yuanmu away, he was discovered by Tie Lin, a patrol in the French Concession.

Tie Lin was upright, refused Xu Zhongyi's request to take Qu Yuanmu away, and arranged a "single room" for Xu Zhongyi.

Qu Yuanmu was taken to the hospital, escaped after being rescued, and then disappeared, while Xu Zhongyi was released on bail by Zhang Anping.
