Chapter 411: Farewell
"Kenji Doihara came to Shanghai from Peking and still lives in Chongkongtang. Lin Shiqun and Ding Mo Village are actively engaging in relationships with Kenji Doihara. Kenji Doihara was originally from an intelligence background and is very interested in these two people and may meet them in person."
"News from Comrade Chinyu?"
"Well, also, after the Wuhan Battle, the Japanese offensive was temporarily suspended, mainly because of the problems of casualties and supplies of troops, which exposed Japan's strategic resources mainly rely on input shortcomings. As the war time expands and the front line is lengthened, this disadvantage will become greater and greater..."
"Okay, Lao Hu, your intelligence theory level is rising now." Lu Xiyan smiled.
"Don't laugh, the superiors hope that we can obtain more strategic information about Japan's domestic military and political aspects of China. This is the task of our team." Hu Yunzhidao.
"I have a news here that the Japanese army gathered a large number of fleets in Guangzhou Bay, with unknown intentions. Although I don't know much about military affairs, this situation shows that the Japanese army has made major moves in the South China Sea recently." Lu Xiyan said.
"Where is this news from you? Is it accurate?"
"What my people have seen with their own eyes, are you accurate?" Lu Xiyan smiled.
"Your people, why do you have people in Guangzhou?"
"To be precise, the 'military advisor' has been in touch recently and started to provide me with some information. Also, I sent Tan Si to Hong Kong. They have been active there recently. Japanese naval warships gathered together, and they also sent me a telegram. What they saw with their own eyes will not be fake." Lu Xiyan explained.
"I will report the situation you are talking about to my superiors immediately." Hu Yunzhi nodded. At this time, the Japanese Navy suddenly gathered a large number of warships in Guangzhou Bay. It was definitely not for tourism. There must be major military operations.
The combat operations involving the navy must be related to the ocean.
This situation is worthy of attention.
"What did Tan Si go to Hong Kong to do?"
"Her wife is in Hong Kong, and this time she was reunited in the past. Depending on the situation, whether she stayed in Hong Kong to preside over the situation, and our offshore sea power will almost be blocked by the Japanese, and the maritime smuggling channels may be cut off at any time. I mentioned to you, so I may go to the Haifangcheng to inspect the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, which may be our main channel for transporting materials in the next step." Lu Xiyan explained.
"Well, are you going in person?"
"Of course, if I don't go to the inspection myself, I won't feel at ease. I have a French passport and there will be no problem going there. Moreover, this time, I have a helper." Lu Xiyan said.
"You mean Monte?"
"That's right, he has worked in Hanoi, the capital of French Indochina for a while and can be my umbrella and guide." Lu Xiyan said, "Tan Si can also follow him secretly and protect me."
"You think very thoughtful, do you have specific time and plan?"
"The specific time has not been decided yet, but at least the Spring Festival has to be passed in Hong Kong and then the destination has been determined." Lu Xiyan said, "I haven't gone yet, so how can I have any specific plans?"
"Okay, I will report your situation together. Remember to notify you in advance when you leave Shanghai." Hu Yunzhi said.
"Okay." Lu Xiyan nodded and agreed, and asked Ma Xiaowu, who was drinking tea and eating melon seeds, to drive home.
...
When I got home, it was dark.
"Why are you back? I'll send my dad and Xiaohao on board tomorrow morning. Let's have a meal for our family tonight, and everyone is waiting for you."
"I've delayed my conversation with people a little bit," Lu Xiyan explained.
"Meimei, it's just a little late? It's okay, Xiao An, come and sit here quickly." Lao Mengtou waved to Ma Xiaowu again, "Xiao Wu, come here too, sit down and have a meal together. Today's supper is a reunion dinner for our family."
"gentlemen?"
"Xiao Wu, just sit next to Axiang." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Dad, I'll fill you with wine." Lu Xiyan rolled up his sleeves, picked up the hot pot and filled Lao Meng's glass with wine.
"well……"
"Dad, I wish you and Haozi a smooth tomorrow."
"Thank you, I've drunk this glass of wine." Old Mengtou was very happy and raised his glass, "Anzi, you and Meimei should come here early."
"Don't worry, as soon as I finish my work, I will go with Meimei." Lu Xiyan agreed.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables..."
The whole family was having a happy time, but Xiaohui was a little unhappy because she didn't have her grandfather to play with him and could not go to Hong Kong. The little girl even cried secretly for this.
Meng Fanxing had been soft-hearted and should I take Xiaohui with me, but Lu Xiyan firmly refused to agree. This trip was not mainly for fun. There were too many risks and accidents to bring a child with me.
What's more, Gu Xiaobai is also in Hong Kong. He takes his children there. Can he not let the father and daughter meet?
This not only brings potential exposure risks to Gu Xiaobai, but also exposes the identities of He Xiaofen and Xiaohui. Once they are contacted, their relationship will be exposed.
"Meimei, tomorrow you go to see off your father and Haozi. I may not have time to go there. If you give a lot of gifts, then call another car." After dinner, he returned to the study room upstairs and said.
"Or for the case?" Meng Fanxing nodded.
"It's a bit tricky, but I have a solution, so you don't have to worry." Lu Xiyan said.
...
The two of them did have a lot of salutes, packing four large suitcases, two of which were brought to Xi Mengyao, food, clothing, and use.
What is left is the things between Lao Meng and his son, and they also brought a lot of medicine.
"Yan Lei, one car is not enough, call the car dealer and call a car over." Lu Xiyan saw that there were so many things, and a car could not be transported away.
"Yes, sir." Yan Lei agreed and went to call a taxi. The industry under the name of the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group had a car dealer. It was not only safe, but also did not flow to outsiders' fields.
"In a while, you go to the dock to send them all onto the boat." Lu Xiyan ordered Yan Lei, "and accompany Meimei to Yuanda Law Firm, some documents need to be processed."
"OK."
"Dad, Haozi, I won't send you on the boat. The hospital is busy today, so we will meet you in Hong Kong." Lu Xiyan said to Lao Meng, "I expect you will be in Hong Kong at noon tomorrow. Uncle Gui will arrange someone to pick you up. After you arrive, you can call your home. If we are not here, Xiao He will be there too."
"If you know, don't worry. When I was young, I also traveled outside." Lao Meng said with his head patted his chest.
"Xiao Wu, have you finished eating? Should we leave?" Lu Xiyan turned his head and shouted at the restaurant.
"Come on, sir." Ma Xiaowu grabbed a bun and rushed out.
...
On the dock, an ocean liner docked on the shore. This is a ship flying the British flag and belongs to a ship company under Pacific Foreign Company.
Meng Fanxing completed the check-in procedures for the greeting and bought insurance, so the greeting was first on the boat, and the people were still in the hospitality area of the dock.
"Dad, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to take medicine. That medicine works very well." Before getting on the boat, Meng Fanxing told his father.
"I understand, Meimei, I'm old, I'm not confused."
"Haozi, take good care of my dad. Did you hear that? When I arrived in Hong Kong, I called my home as soon as possible." Meng Fanxing solemnly explained to Meng Hao.
"I understand, sister, the long-distance phone bill is so expensive." Meng Hao yelled.
"Is there any money in our family?" Meng Fanxing gave him a fierce look.
Begin boarding.
Looking at Lao Mengtou and Meng Hao and his son boarded the passenger ship with the long queue, Meng Fanxing suddenly felt his nose sore and tears couldn't stop falling.
Doudu…
The sound of the whistle sounded, and the passenger ship slowly drove away from the dock and headed eastward, gradually becoming unable to see clearly.
...
Law arresting house, political department.
"Mr. Wan, please come here."
"Thank you." Wan Molin nodded slightly. Although he was Boss Du's housekeeper and was a person who called the wind and rain in the French Concession in the past, now it is different from the past.
Boss Du is far away from Hong Kong. Now the most powerful force of the Green Gang in the French Concession is Zhang Xiaolin, who is a traitor, and many people follow him.
Boss Du’s influence is not as powerful as before. Those who have nothing to do with Boss Du need to be low-key, so as not to get a handle on others.
Therefore, in addition to guarding Boss Du, Wan Molin now lives a quiet life and lives a very low-key life. He even has few consultants in the Qing Gang's affairs, so he only serves as a butler.
Although Wan Molin is not very responsible, no one can ignore his existence. Boss Du is far away from Hong Kong and can still control Shanghai.
"Inspector General Tang, I haven't disturbed your office, right?" Wan Molin wore a gray cotton robe, gray hair, and a little fat. If you don't know, you thought you were just a rich man in the countryside, and you didn't have the style of a gangster master?
"Wan Lao, it's too late to welcome me. Come and make tea for Mr. Wan." Tang Jin smiled and stood up from his seat to greet him.
"Old Wan, please sit down."
"Thanks."
"Old Wan rarely comes to the police station, why are you free to come today?"
"This is not the New Year. According to the past practice, the brothers in the police room should give Nian Jing. I will come to Inspector General Tang to discuss what the standards should Nian Jing be this year?" Wan Molin smiled.
"This is Boss Du's wish. No matter how much, brothers can just accept it. Is it a good idea for you to go there in person?" Tang Jin said hurriedly.
"This is a list that I have planned. Inspector Tang will take a look. Ordinary agents and police officers are the number, and the number above the detective is doubled." Wan Molin took out a note from his cuff and handed it over.
"Old Mrs. Wan, you are not doing it easy this year..." Tang Jin glanced at it. The things were similar to those in previous years, but this year, Boss Du was not in Shanghai, and his income was reduced. I don't know how much it could be. I can still give so much, which is enough to show that Boss Du is good at being a human being.
"Inspector General Tang, that's the matter?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to cooperate with me. The problem is that I can't be their leader with the Japanese." Tang Jin smiled and folded the note and said.
"Then there is no problem." Wan Molin smiled, took the note from Tang Jin, stood up and clasped his fists, "Then I won't disturb Inspector General Tang's handling of official duties, say goodbye."
"Old Wan is rare to come once, take a little tea before leaving?"
"No, I still have something to do. I will be the one who works another day and invite Inspector Tang Deshenglou to have tea." Wan Molin said.
Chapter completed!
