My Spy Years Chapter 1171

"Brother Cheng is joking, you are one of our own." Tang Hanlao said, "It's just a routine conversation."

He laughed dryly and said, "If this matter hadn't involved the assassination of Mr. Wang, it would have been very important. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone through this whole process."

Hearing Tang Kanglao mention the Minsheng Bridge assassination case, Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed a trace of hatred and fear. He subconsciously moved his right shoulder, but his expression changed with pain.

“Brother Cheng, be careful, if the wound collapses, you will be in trouble.” Tang Kanlao said quickly.

 “Ala, does this count as taking the bullet for Mr. Wang?” Cheng Qianfan sighed.

"Of course." Tang Kanlao said decisively, "Under the hail of bullets, Brother Cheng remained calm in the face of danger, which really makes the brothers admire him."

"There is no way to stay calm in times of crisis." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "My mind was so messed up that I almost lost my life."

He looked at Tang Kanlao and said, "Brother Tang, let's do this. I don't know what to say. You ask and I answer, is that okay?"

"Of course." Tang Wenlao nodded, "Before coming, the director gave me special instructions, Mr. Cheng, to do whatever is convenient for you."

 “Director Ding is interested.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded.

Tang Kanlao pointed towards the door and suddenly raised his voice, "Come in."

 An agent from the Secret Service Headquarters came in in response, holding a bamboo folder in his hand and a pencil behind his ear.

“Brother Cheng, did you rent that Steepunk car?” Tang Kanlao asked.

"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I rented it from the ideal car dealership at No. 39 Yihe Road."

"Why would you want to rent such a Citigroup car?" Tang Wenlao looked curious, "Brother Cheng, I have no other intention, I just think this car is rare."

“Purely a personal preference.” Cheng Qianfan said, “Director White of the British Concession Industry Bureau has a Stypunkt. I like it very much. I had been thinking about getting a Stypunkt to drive.”

 He paused and changed from sitting on the edge of the bed to leaning on the head of the bed, using a pillow as a cushion.

Tang Kanlao glanced at Cheng Qianfan but did not stop him.

"When I came to Nanjing this time, I got used to having a car on hand, so I thought about renting a car temporarily to drive." Cheng Qianfan said, "I have heard of this ideal car dealer, which is a famous car dealer in Nanjing. I thought They should be able to get Stypunk to have a good time."

“Why did this Stepunk car appear in Mr. Wang's motorcade?” Tang Hanlao asked. After speaking, he stared into Cheng Qianfan's eyes.

“Secretary-General Chu's car broke down.” Cheng Qianfan said, “There was no time to dispatch other vehicles, so I had no choice but to drive the Steppank to take the Secretary-General and follow the convoy.”

“Secretary-General Chu's car broke down?” Tang Wenlao glanced at Cheng Qianfan in surprise.

Agent No. 76, who was taking notes with a pen and paper on the side, also raised his head in shock after hearing this.

Tang Kanlao looked at this person closely, and the latter quickly lowered his head to record.

"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded, his expression extremely sincere, "Secretary-General Chu and Secretary Liu can prove this."

 About half an hour later, Tang Wenlao left the ward with his shorthand staff.

 The two left the inpatient ward floor, but did not leave the hospital. Instead, they went directly to the doctor's office.

“The injury is not serious, but this is thanks to the iron sheet of the car that delayed the bullet.” Zhao Guoliang said, “After the bullet was blocked, the injury force was reduced a lot. Otherwise, the condition of the right shoulder would not be too optimistic.”

“Doctor, based on your experience, if a person's vision predicts that the bullet's lethality will decrease after hitting the car's iron sheet, he chooses to actively use his body to meet the bullet...”

"Why do you do this?" Zhao Guoliang said puzzledly, "This is very dangerous. My experience tells me that doing this is just a joke with your own life."

He picked up the pencil on the desk, picked up a page of work notepad with one hand, and poked it lightly. The pencil tip could not penetrate the paper, and then tried to increase the force. The pencil tip went from 'hard' to Able to penetrate paper smoothly.

"This piece of paper is an iron sheet. It is unpredictable whether the bullet can penetrate the iron sheet and how much power it will have to continue moving forward after penetrating the iron sheet." Zhao Guoliang said, "So, the situation you mentioned is actually I'm betting that the bullet that hits the iron sheet cannot continue to threaten to hurt people."

He shook his head, "It depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will be fine. If you are not lucky, it is still very dangerous."

Tang Kanlao nodded and said nothing more.

He asked the doctor a few more questions about Cheng Qianfan, even precise questions about the impact of Cheng Qianfan's injured right shoulder on his movement and ability.

Zhao Guoliang did not show any impatience in his expression or tone, and answered Tang Kanlao's questions one by one.

 Leaving the doctor's office, Tang Hanlao and his men returned to the car parked in the yard. The driver responsible for guarding the car started the vehicle and drove the two of them out of the Second Hospital of the Government.

At the window of the ward, Cheng Qianfan raised the curtains with his left hand and watched the car drive away. His eyes were calm and slightly gloomy.

At this time, at the window of the doctor's office, Zhao Guoliang was also watching the car leave, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Team leader, there is something I don't understand.” Ge Yao, the stenographer, said.

 “Say.” Tang Wenlao frowned and said casually.

“Didn't you say that Cheng Qianfan would submit a personal whereabouts report to us?” Ge Yao asked in confusion.

 Before coming to the Second Hospital of the Government, the director had informed them in advance that Secretary-General Chu had asked Cheng Qianfan to provide them with a personal whereabouts report.

 However, during the entire conversation just now, Cheng Qianfan did not submit this report.

 What he didn't understand the most was that team leader Tang Wenlao didn't mention this matter to Cheng Qianfan.

"Do you think Cheng Qianfan will submit such a self-report of Lao Shizi to us?" Tang Kanglao asked rhetorically.

 “He dare not refuse to pay—” Ge Yao said, his voice getting lower and lower.

 “Why doesn't he dare?” Tang Kanlao asked.

He glanced at his subordinates and shook his head in disappointment, "Do you have the illusion that Cheng Qianfan can be manipulated by us now?"

"Isn't it..." Ge Yao said, then his expression changed, and he didn't dare to say anything.

 Yes, Cheng Qianfan, who is now in Nanjing, is alone and seems to be 'easy to bully'.

 However, don't forget that they are only in Nanjing for a short-term business trip and will return to the French Concession sooner or later.

Given Cheng Qianfan's well-known retributive temper, if someone offends him at this time, it is not completely impossible for this person to be dedicated to revenge and opposition to the secret service headquarters.

 So, speaking in depth, Cheng Qianfan is not too afraid of the secret service headquarters.

 Of course, there is another prerequisite for this, and that is—

 Cheng Qianfan himself has no problems, that's why he is so confident.

is that so?

Tang Kanlao asked himself.

Cheng Qianfan opened the drawer of the bedside table in the ward, and there were two pages of paper lying quietly inside.     This is the whereabouts report he wrote in advance according to Liu Xia's instructions.

 Liu Xia asked him to write this, and Cheng Qianfan knew that this must actually be Chu Mingyu's request.

 Cheng Qianfan naturally "obediently" wrote such a document.

However, just because he has written it does not mean that he will hand it over.

 Following instructions and writing report materials was his obedient attitude towards Chu Mingyu and Liu Xia.

 It was not handed over to Tang Kanlao. This was the attitude of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" towards No. 76.

Tang Ganlao couldn't make him hand over the so-called whereabouts report.

 This is the pride and confidence of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng'—

 The confidence of a "Mr. Xiao Cheng" from the French Concession who has no problems and is not afraid of investigation.

 Just—

Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, and he suddenly realized something strange.

This strangeness comes from Tang Kanlao's attitude and reaction.

He deliberately did not take the initiative to mention and hand over this report. However, Tang Kanlao also pretended that there was no such thing and did not mention or urge it.

This seems normal—

Tang Kanglao was afraid of Cheng Qianfan's identity and power, as well as the possible strong counterattack if he angered him, so he pretended to have forgotten the matter and did not mention it.

However, Cheng Qianfan was still keenly aware of the strangeness. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Cheng Qianfan is relatively familiar with Tang Wenlao, a well-known person on the 76th.

This person is bold, careful and ruthless in his work. He is an executioner who has been stained with the blood of many anti-Japanese comrades. With his skill of making soup, this person is able to mention and demand things without offending him as much as possible. At the very least, he is This will be mentioned.

 However, Tang Kanlao did not do this.

So, what does this mean?

 It shows that the Secret Service Headquarters actually doesn't take such a whereabouts report that seriously.

So here's the problem. According to Liu Xia's previous statement, he took the initiative to submit such a whereabouts report to cooperate with the Secret Service Headquarters. Moreover, Liu Xia would also inform the Secret Service Headquarters about this matter in advance. On the one hand, it expresses a proactive and cooperative attitude, and on the other hand, it is also a deterrent -

 Secretary-General Chu has been paying attention to this matter!

 Therefore, Cheng Qianfan concluded that Tang Kanglao must have known about this matter in advance and knew that he would take the initiative to submit such a whereabouts report.

 In this case, Tang Kanlao did not mention it.

Cheng Qianfan's only suspicion, or his most inclined judgment, is that Tang Wenlao did not pay attention to such a document.

 This is the paradox of this matter.

 Liu Xia took this matter seriously and came to the hospital to ask him for advice.

According to such a 'reciprocal' logic, the Secret Service Headquarters will also take this matter seriously.

Now, Tang Wenlao does not pay attention to this matter. It can be inferred that the Secret Service Headquarters actually does not care much about such a document. Then, if we extrapolate backwards, can we draw a conclusion:

 Liu Xia actually doesn't take this matter that seriously.

 Perhaps, Liu Xia does not need to pay attention to this matter.

Since she didn't take it seriously, why did Liu Xia focus on explaining this matter when she came to visit the hospital?

 This is the strange thing.

 Cheng Qianfan is very vigilant and has been lurking secretly with a high standard of vigilance for a long time, which to a certain extent has formed his inherent code of conduct.

 One of the key principles is that when something is doubtful, go back and look at the whole thing including this matter with suspicion.

 Or, to put it more bluntly, it means to re-stretch the entire line.

Then, Cheng Qianfan's attention was once again focused on the matter of 'Wang Qianhai went to see a Chinese medicine doctor'.

The reason why he focused his attention on this matter again is because Cheng Qianfan checked himself in his mind and found that something might bring danger to him, or where danger lurks, which is the most worth pondering in the whole matter. at.

Because he wanted to secretly investigate Wang Qianhai's physical condition, Cheng Qianfan had already made a plan to secretly investigate the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

 And this incident itself was the most dangerous behavior in the whole incident of Liu Xia coming to the hospital to visit him.

 Now, here comes the problem.

Thus, what does this mean when we go back to the fact that Wang Qianhai went to see a Chinese medicine doctor and that he wanted to secretly inquire about the information about the Chinese medicine clinic?

 means—

 He thought this matter was dangerous before, but now, he is even more sure that it is dangerous.

 What are the dangers?

Cheng Qianfan rubbed his chin and thought, and he quickly came up with a guess:

 TCM hospitals are traps.

If the enemy secretly monitors the various Chinese medicine clinics in advance, then once he inquires without realizing it, it is almost the same as sending him to the door on his own initiative!

Cheng Qianfan felt a cold sweat break out on his back. The more he thought about it, the more he became convinced that the enemy was using the Chinese Medicine Clinic to catch a big fish like him!

 He felt a sense of fear in his heart. If he hadn't been shot in the shoulder, he would have been alone in Nanjing, unable to move, and had to be trapped in the hospital. I'm afraid he would have been exposed and something happened.

His brows wrinkled slightly, and suddenly he sighed.

so close!

He knew that he had unknowingly walked away from the gate of hell.

Liu Bo looked around at the young people present. His eyes were full of satisfaction and excitement.

 He was giving lessons to the newly developed anti-Japanese activists.

“More than three months ago, Commander Chen summarized the experience of the Maoshan Base Area in the past year, and I felt deeply after listening to it.

Commander Chen said, "We often have a unit in the narrow triangle area between Nanzhenjiang and Jurong. The enemy mobilized more than a thousand troops to carry out as many as twenty-three sieges, but we still stayed there and persisted."

  Sometimes they would not go to the people's homes for a whole week, and they would fight and camp in the deep mountains and old forests. After getting rid of the enemy, they would go to the people's homes in the middle of the night to cook and eat. This greatly increased the people's confidence in guerrilla warfare. '”

He asked everyone, "From this passage, let's think about it carefully, why do people have more confidence in guerrilla warfare to resist Japan?"

 A dozen young people whispered at first, and with the encouragement of Liu Bo's eyes, they gradually began to have bold discussions.

“Because our team faced the Japanese encirclement and suppression, although it was difficult, it was able to stand firm.”

“Because the New Fourth Army does not go to people's homes during the day, it can avoid the team's whereabouts from being monitored and exposed by traitors, and can prevent the people from being killed by the enemy to the greatest extent.”

Liu Bo was very happy after listening to the lively discussion among the young anti-Japanese activists. He nodded frequently, "Very good. Everyone said very well and explained their understanding from different aspects. This is good."
