"Sir, you absolutely never imagined why Tao's wife and children were suddenly captured on the 76th?" On January 6th, on Saturday afternoon, Yan Lei hurried back from the company.

"Is there any news?"

"Yes, Tao has gone far away from Hong Kong, and there are Gao Zongwu who are passing through. Is this a surprise?" Yan Lei said excitedly.

“Where did this news come from?”

"Fei Niao accidentally heard Ling Zhijiang say it. Of course, the news is still kept confidential to the outside world, but Hong Kong can no longer be covered, so news will probably come soon." Yan Lei said.

"Immediately send a secret message to Kunpeng and ask him to find out the whereabouts of Gao and Tao, and find out the reason for their escape." Lu Xiyan ordered now.

There must be some unimaginable reason here, otherwise, how could Gao and Tao, the confidant of the Wang family, suddenly leave at the checkpoint when the new government is about to be established?

Do they not want high officials and generous salaries, and they do not want to be glorious and wealthy?

"Yes, sir."

As soon as Yan Lei left, Lao Ma also came up.

"Old Song sent me a message, Comrade Narcissus wants to see you and said that there is something important."

“When?”

"At five o'clock in the afternoon, Commander Kai's cake house." Lao Ma said.

"I understand, you go first." Lu Xiyan nodded. There must be something important about Hu Mei's meeting him, but when she made an appointment with Commander Kai's pancake house, she should have a word of mouth. Otherwise, she should find a coffee shop or tea room to sit down and talk.

I went to Commander Kai’s cake house, bought some chestnut cakes and butterfly crisps, and brought them back to several women and children at home. I accidentally met an acquaintance and said a few words, and that would not be suspected.

Hu Mei was really thoughtful and thoughtful.

...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiyan arrived at Commander Kai's cake house on Hurd Road on time.

"Miss Hu, what a coincidence, are you here to buy pastries too?" Lu Xiyan saw Hu Mei, who had just arrived but had not been queued up at the purchase window, and smiled and greeted her.

"Dr. Lu, are you here to buy chestnut cakes too?"

"Yes, Commander Kai's chestnut milk cake is the best of all the chestnut cakes in Shanghai. My wife and the children like it very much." Lu Xiyan said.

"Why didn't you see your wife?"

"She's been slow this time, and she's about to take the final exam and has to review her homework at home on weekends, so she sent me." Lu Xiyan explained with a smile.

"Dr. Lu's time is so precious, and he can still take time to buy cakes for his wife. It's so envious to others." Hu Mei showed a hint of envy.

"Haha, it's nothing. The key to getting along with couples is respect and understanding." Lu Xiyan said, "Besides, it's good for me to come out and breathe."

"That's right." Hu Mei nodded slightly, suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Last night, I was taken to No. 37 Yidingpan Road by Ye Yurou and met Zheng Yueru."

"Oh, what's going on now?" Lu Xiyan was surprised. Ye Yurou actually took Hu Mei to that place. What exactly did she want to do?

"It's not good, but I heard that Zhou Fuhai already knew that they had tortured Zheng Yueru and ordered it to stop." Hu Mei said, "They were trying to win Zheng Yueru's father to take up a false post."

"Well, this is their usual style."

"Also, Ding Mo Village's wife Zhao Huimin also asked Zhou Fuhai to sentence Zheng Yueru to death and be executed immediately." Hu Mei said again.

"I understand, but now, we can't do anything. It's unrealistic to save people from No. 76." Lu Xiyan said.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Hu Mei's eyes. Of course she knew that Zheng Yueru was not her comrade, and it was not that easy to rescue her. But she felt very heartbroken when she saw Zheng Yueru's unyielding resignation and sacrificed herself for the country and nation.

If it was just for this matter, Lu Xiyan would criticize Hu Mei. Although women are emotional, they should also distinguish the importance of the matter.

She could completely repost these situations through Lao Song, and there was no need to see him in person.

"North Korea is now in conflict with us. Zheng Yueru is from the Central Commission for Discipline. We are not suitable to interfere in other people's affairs. Even if we want to rescue it, it will be theirs." Lu Xiyan said.

"I understand, I have one more thing that I have to tell you in person." Hu Mei said, "Gao Zongwu secretly photographed the text of the secret traitorous contract signed by Wang and the Japanese. He and Tao had quietly left Hong Kong. On the 76th, they arrested Gao and Tao's wife and family, threatening Gao Tao to bring the secret contract back to Shanghai and leave the past without any blame."

"How did you know?"

"Lin Shiqun's wife Ye Yurou is not shy away from me in many things. In addition, I promised to be the editor of "Female Voice" co-organized by them with the Japanese Embassy and the Navy Reporting Department, so they decided that I was my own person." Hu Mei explained.

"Can you confirm that Gao and Tao carry the text of the secret contract signed by Japanese and Wang?"

"I don't know this, that's what Ye Yurou said."

"Comrade Judge, this secret agreement is important evidence of the Wang group's treason. It must be made public and the people of the whole country can see the faces of these people's traitors and traitors. Never be deceived by their sweet words." Hu Mei said solemnly.

"Comrade Narcissus, I hope you will trust Comrade Old Song more in the future. He is absolutely reliable. Meeting like today is actually very dangerous. Do you understand?"

"It's not that I don't believe Comrade Lao Song, I just think that this matter must be told to you before it can be explained clearly." Hu Mei said.

"Not as an example, no matter what important situations, everything must be done according to the organizational principles and regulations of underground work. You have no experience in this area in the past, which is understandable, but you should not commit it again in the future." Lu Xiyan reminded that he cannot expect a person to become an excellent underground worker at once, and everyone has a process of adapting and growing up.

Isn’t he the same thing himself? Fortunately, he has the time to learn and adapt. Many comrades have no time to adapt and have already sacrificed their lives.

This is the cruelty of underground work.

...

"Old Lu, if Gao and Tao really fled Hong Kong with the text of the Japanese-Wang secret agreement, it would be a big deal. If it could be published, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the Wang Puppet Group." Hu Yunzhi's way.

"Well, I just heard that Gao and Tao are not capable of formulating such a precise and detailed escape plan. In Shanghai, there must be someone to help them, and the energy behind them is extraordinary." Lu Xiyan said.

"So who do you think it would be?"

"The Military Control Commission and the Central Government are both possible, but judging from the information we have now, I think the Military Control Commission is the most likely." Lu Xiyan said, "but it is not ruled out that other forces are involved."

"You mean, Qing Gang?"

"People secretly boarded the ship from the French Concession. In the past, the most powerful force in the French Concession was the Qing Gang. Although it has declined now, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. It is not difficult for the Qing Gang to get two people out of Shanghai, let alone the Japanese have not completely blocked the sea passage." Lu Xiyan said.

"Let's report this matter. People are already in Hong Kong, and we are beyond our reach." Lu Xiyan said.

"Well, I'll arrange it and let Comrade Bai Ge send the news tonight."

...

After leaving Tongmin Tea House, drive home.

Just in time for the meal.

"Chestnut fresh milk cake, Dad, I love you so much!" Seeing the cake box in Lu Xiyan's hand, the two girls rushed over excitedly.

"Eat supper first, and you can eat the cake after dinner." Lu Xiyan smiled and handed over the cake box.

"Thank you dad."

"You spoil them too much, what should I do in the future?" Meng Fanxing walked over, took Lu Xiyan's coat, hung it on the clothes hanger and said.

"It's no big deal for girls to eat some cakes. Besides, it's not like eating them every day, only once a week. Our family is not poor, so you have to live a life?" Lu Xiyan picked up Lu Xiaorui and said, "Xiaorui, go, go have dinner with your father."

"Yan Lei, tomorrow is your happy day. How are you preparing for the banquet?"

"We are not prepared. In fact, we have already held it at Tian Rui's house once. This time we are going back to Shanghai to have a banquet. It's not complicated." Yan Lei smiled and actually got married. And he was such a beautiful family member. How could he be unhappy?

"Well, that's good. Will my parents-in-law come tomorrow?"

"I'm here, I'll arrive tomorrow morning and take a car over. I'll ask Yan Jia to pick him up in advance." Yan Lei said.

After dinner, the two little girls each divided a small piece of chestnut and milk cake, played for a while, and then they were urged by Meng Fanxing to go back to the room to sleep.

...

Yan Lei's wedding banquet was held in Donglou, and there were many guests, including Meng'an's business partners, friends who were familiar with Yan Lei, and those who were looking for Lu Xiyan's face.

The banquet was nearly twenty tables.

This show is quite a bit, and Yan Lei's parents-in-law also saw the influence of his future son-in-law in Shanghai, so he was naturally very satisfied.

My daughter can marry someone she likes and is in a good match, so parents generally don’t object.

Yan Lei was drunk too much and was drunk. In the end, Tian Rui helped her upstairs and into the bridal chamber. Guo Hanjie and others also came, but they did not show their faces among ordinary guests.

The newlyweds were like a wedding, Lu Xiyan originally wanted Yan Lei to take a break and accompany his newlywed wife and his parents-in-law who came to Shanghai. Who knew that the next day, he sent his parents-in-law away and ran over to look obedient.

Lu Xiyan had no choice. He didn't want to be careful. He couldn't force him to rest with a gun. So he handed over all the matter of building a pharmaceutical factory with Sato Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to him.

In the newspaper, news about this cooperation has begun to be revealed.

There is no problem with the large cooperation framework, but there are still some details that have not been resolved.

More than ten days passed in a flash, and finally, in the Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao on January 22, Gao and Tao issued an open letter to the newspaper, publishing the "Outline for the Adjustment of the New Relationship of the Daily Branch" and all the attachments they secretly brought out.
