Chapter 35 Occasionally Entering Todazu
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. At the same time, the Military Command Shanghai Station is also mobilizing troops. Although station commander Wang Tianmu has long received the news that Gao Tao and his two men have arrived in Shanghai, he faces the Japanese and the seventies.
No. 6 pressed aggressively, but he still felt powerless.
Due to the pressure from above, he arranged for Liu Chengfeng of the action team to lead some members on standby early in the morning. To his surprise, when Gao Tao and Gao Tao came to Shanghai, they did not communicate with the military commander, but directly contacted Wan Molin.
Wang Tianmu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, he did not dare to just ignore it. After all, this was an order issued by Dai Li personally. If anything went wrong, he would still be held responsible.
For this reason, he ordered Liu Chengfeng to closely monitor Wan Molin's mansion. Just now, Liu Chengfeng sent someone to report that Wan Molin and his disciple, Mr. Glasses, set off in three groups. Wan Molin had been captured by Zhang Xiaolin along the way.
Intercepted with Li Shiqun, and it was confirmed that it was a false shot, while the two groups of Glasses and Young Master were still entangled with each other, attracting most of the attention of No. 76. Liu Chengfeng indirectly expressed his opinion.
I suspect that these two groups are also suspects.
Wang Tianmu hesitated. He knew Wan Molin's current situation very well. He was alone in Shanghai. Without Zhang Xiaolin's interference, he could have easily sent people out of Shanghai. However, Zhang Xiaolin had already gone to the Japanese with great fanfare.
ship, in this case, who among the three tycoons in the past would dare to help?
In desperation, Wang Tianmu thought of one person. Perhaps he was the only one who could help him get through this crisis safely.
But this person is an old veteran of the intelligence department. It can be said that even Dai Li, Chen Lifu, and Chen Guofu brothers would respectfully call him "sir" when they meet him. Moreover, he has retired from the world for many years, and he just asked so rashly.
If you come in front of him, will he agree?
Wang Tianmu hesitated again and again and dialed a number.
An old but slightly sharp voice came from the phone receiver, "Who is Mr. Zeng?"
Wang Tianmu quickly replied, "Is it Uncle Chang? Hello, I am Zheng Shisong (Note 1)."
"Oh, it's Mr. Zheng. I'm calling so late. What's wrong?" Uncle Chang's tone was very calm.
Wang Tianmu held the phone receiver tightly, his palms a little damp, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have something urgent here. I would like to ask, is he resting in the apartment?"
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly went silent, as if he was asking questions. Wang Tianmu didn't dare to say anything, so he had to wait patiently.
After a moment, an energetic voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "Is this Renkeng? I'm Zeng Yijiang."
Wang Tianmu suddenly felt overjoyed and said, "Hello, Mr. Yu, do you still remember my name?"
A burst of hearty laughter immediately came from there.
Wang Tianmu knew the apartment man's straightforward temper, so he did not dare to beat around the bush and directly told him what he wanted to entrust to him.
The apartment man thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I have heard about this matter. Since you have spoken, Renkeng, I will not ignore it."
Thank you very much Wang Tianmu.
After hanging up the phone, the apartment man walked to the sofa and sat down. Sitting opposite him was Wan Molin, who was supposed to be at Wanguo Nightclub.
The apartment owner pointed to the phone, "I can't sit here in Chongqing anymore."
Wan Molin put down the tea cup and raised his eyebrows, "Oh, really?"
The apartment owner stroked his beard and asked, "Is this dangerous move tonight your handiwork?"
Wan Molin shook his head, "No, it's purely out of helplessness. Zhang Xiaolin has already lost his face. Mr. Du kept writing letters and making phone calls, but he couldn't change his mind. Tonight, he did a great job,
I had no choice but to make this decision. There was a young man named Lin under Xiao Shen and Xiao Ma. It was his idea, and I had no choice at the time."
The apartment owner said "Oh" and straightened up immediately, "Your surname is Lin, what's your name?"
Wan Molin touched his forehead and thought hard for a while, "Lin Qi, Lin Xiaotang."
The apartment owner suddenly realized, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then laughed loudly, "Mu Lin, this is not like your character, a little guy who can't even remember his name, how dare you entrust such a big thing to him
!”
Wan Molin said seriously: "I can definitely trust anyone who Xiao Shen and Xiao Ma trust!"
The apartment owner nodded appreciatively, "As expected of someone who came out of Yuesheng, he really has the air of a general!"
The apartment owner knew very well Wan Molin's purpose of coming to see him in disguise tonight, and he had no intention of shirk it. On the one hand, it was for Du Yuesheng's face, and on the other hand, he had learned that Gao Tao and Gao Tao were carrying confidential documents that could shake up the political situation.
, he couldn't refuse out of justice. Another thing was that he had just learned that Lin Xiaotang had joined in, so he couldn't stay out of it.
Wan Molin felt much more relaxed after receiving an accurate answer from his apartment. The only thing that surprised him was that his apartment actually made a small request, that is, after this incident, he must take care of this person named Lin.
Young man, as for the relationship between him and this man named Lin, Wan Molin didn't dare to ask. For him, the apartment's husband was willing to help, which was a huge help to him. It couldn't be easier to support a young man.
But something.
After seeing Wan Molin off, Uncle Chang reported to his apartment, "They appeared in Hongkou! Liu Chengfeng seems to have gotten the news and has moved closer there, ready to respond!"
The apartment thought for a moment and said, "Let Chang Huan go over and take them to our dock, get on the boat and go to sea directly, and then board the Hoover. Also, help me contact Hong Chawei. These foreign devils have not figured out anything about the situation.
It’s because the Japanese are causing trouble in the concession!”
Lin Xiaotang and the others didn't go far when they realized something was wrong. Suddenly there were many people with strange expressions on the street, who were constantly searching, as if they were looking for some target, especially when Lin Xiaotang saw Yuan Jianfeng cowering.
Hiding among a group of people, Lin Xiaotang was sure that things were going to be bad when he was looking for her.
Lin Xiaotang never thought of killing Yuan Jianfeng to silence him. It is true that Yuan Jianfeng and him had an inextricable knot, but it was a matter of national justice. Lin Xiaotang did not expect that he, who was also passionate back then, would sink to this point.
Of course, the main reason is that when Lin Xiaotang sees Yuan Jianfeng, he always thinks of Xia Zhiping, and his heart softens involuntarily.
Lin Xiaotang motioned for everyone to hide in a dark corner, but his eyes kept scanning around. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. There was a Japanese-style building standing on the corner not far away, with a simple door in front.
There are three words written on the lantern - "Todajin".
Lin Xiaotang quietly winked at a few people, and they hurriedly moved towards the Japanese izakaya.
Lifting the door curtain, Lin Xiaotang discovered that this izakaya was indeed quite large in size and decorated in Japanese style. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a smiling waitress in kimono.
The middle-aged man named Gao among the group of people seemed to understand Japanese. Although he didn't understand Lin Xiaotang's purpose of coming here, he was told by Wan Molin before coming out to let them all obey Lin Xiaotang's arrangements. Therefore, as soon as they entered the door
At Lin Xiaotang's suggestion, I asked for a small private room.
Lin Xiaotang conversed with the waiters in Japanese proficiently. What surprised him was that the waiters here were all authentic Japanese and could understand Chinese. Lin Xiaotang nonchalantly teased the two good-looking waiters.
While he was calmly helping several people order their dishes, he also ordered two bottles of sake.
After the waiter bowed and bowed and exited, Lin Xiaotang came to the middle-aged man named Gao and told them to eat in peace first. After all, there were still a large number of No. 76 agents searching outside, and the next journey was destined to be difficult, so
You might as well take a rest here and replenish yourself with some food.
Huoyan blinked his glasses and looked at Lin Xiaotang, unable to calm down in his heart. He had stayed with Du Yuesheng for more than a year. Although his daily life was to eat and wait for death, the fire in his heart had never been extinguished. He still clearly remembered that he was there
The unbearable experience abroad was the biggest motivation for him to come back and serve the country. It was only when he arrived at home that he realized that his abilities were useless. The year and a half in the national army made him truly
He understood the principle of "what is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind". He came to Shanghai incognito, looking forward to starting over, but the cruel reality almost defeated him. Du Yuesheng did not dare to use him, and just treated him like a pet.
He raised her, but that was indeed not the life he wanted.
Until today when he met Lin Xiaotang, Huoyan suddenly seemed to feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy. He strongly felt that this person had the same kind of aura. Huoyan couldn't help but think that maybe he could be the person who changed his destiny.
Lin Xiaotang stepped out of the private room and went straight to the bar of the izakaya. In front of the bar were seats for guests, and behind the bar was the operating table of the izakaya. An old Japanese man wearing a white chef uniform and a short beard was giving instructions.
He was busy preparing various foods for the guests, while skillfully flipping the sizzling seafood ingredients grilled on the iron plate.
There were not many guests at night. It can be seen that this place has just opened, and there is still a faint smell of decoration in the house. It seems that it mainly serves Japanese people in Shanghai. Those who come here to eat and drink are either soldiers.
Or a Japanese businessman in a suit.
Seeing Lin Xiaotang sitting down in front of him, the old man bent down to greet him. Lin Xiaotang quickly returned the favor and ordered a bottle of sake, a fried shrimp roll, a piece of squid sushi, and a piece of puffer fish sashimi.
The old man glanced at Lin Xiaotang in surprise.
Within a moment, several side dishes ordered by Lin Xiaotang were placed in front of him. He picked up two pieces of crystal-clear puffer fish sashimi, dipped some sauce into his mouth, and the aroma and tenderness of the fish immediately filled his mouth.
The old man calmly placed a small glass of wine next to Lin Xiaotang.
Lin Xiaotang nodded and said in Japanese: "The sauce is very special, chopped green onion, vinegar, grapefruit juice, what else is it?"
The old man's eyes shone brightly, he looked at Lin Xiaotang for a while, and then he said: "Thanks for the compliment, there is also some specially made radish puree from the shop."
Lin Xiaotang laughed, raised the wine glass handed over by the old man and drank it in one gulp, "With your glass of pufferfish shark fin wine, it will be even more perfect!"
