"Qianfan." Chu Mingyu suddenly sighed and said.
"Uncle, nephew is listening."
"In fact, I asked you to find out this information, but it was just a way for us to comfort ourselves." Chu Mingyu shook his head and said, "In Japan, their cabinet, their emperor, what kind of decision they make, how can these people influence it."
He picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, and then held the cup in his hands as if to warm them. "This is the tragedy of a weak country. As long as the Japanese do not openly establish diplomatic relations with us, we will be anxious, but there is not much we can do."
He looked at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Qianfan, the new regime has a long way to go on the road of peacefully saving the country."
……
"Although the road ahead is full of obstacles, Qianfan believes that victory will belong to us." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Because we have great people like Mr. Wang and Uncle Chu who are cutting through thorns and overcoming all difficulties to lead us forward. This is a great blessing for the Chinese nation."
"The mission given to us by the times is nothing more than to grit our teeth and do what we should do." Chu Mingyu said with a wry smile.
Cheng Qianfan didn't say anything, but just stood straight, looking at Chu Mingyu with a little more respect.
Chu Mingyu looked at Cheng Qianfan, suddenly revealed a gratified smile, nodded, and said, "Qianfan, I am very satisfied with your performance this time."
"I am ashamed, nephew. Although I have been busy, I have not achieved anything." Cheng Qianfan said modestly.
"I'm not talking about what you did." Chu Mingyu said, motioning Cheng Qianfan to sit down and talk.
Cheng Qianfan first helped Chu Mingyu arrange the items on the table before sitting down.
……
"You actually prefer to stay in Shanghai." Chu Mingyu waved his hand. "You don't have to explain yourself. I'm not angry. If I were you, I would also prefer to stay in Shanghai. It's the place you are most familiar with and it's your territory. How comfortable it is."
"I understand." Chu Mingyu coughed lightly and continued, "But this time I suddenly arranged for Liu Xia to summon you to Nanjing. After you came, you worked hard and were busy all day long. I saw all of this."
"This is what a nephew should do." Cheng Qianfan said.
"That's exactly what you should do." Chu Mingyu said with a smile, "I'm happy that you never showed any sign of being anxious to return to Shanghai. This really surprised me."
"How can I not be anxious?" Cheng Qianfan smiled upon hearing this and said, "It's just that seeing Uncle Chu busy with national affairs, I am too embarrassed to speak up and can only work silently."
"You kid." Chu Mingyu was not angry when he heard Cheng Qianfan say this. Instead, he pointed at Cheng Qianfan and laughed.
"I heard the Secretary General's laughter from outside. It seems that the Secretary General really favors Secretary Cheng." Liu Xia pushed the door open and said with a smile, "No matter what we say, it's useless. Only Secretary Cheng can make the Secretary General laugh."
……
Yangjiang Hotel.
Cao Yu gave instructions to his men and left the restaurant.
"Kuiyuan Teahouse." Cao Yu said to the rickshaw driver.
In the Nanjing district, Su Chende seemed to have forgotten him and Dong Zhengguo and his group in the past two days.
Fortunately, with the funding from Shanghai, Cao Yu was not in a hurry and just stayed leisurely in Nanjing.
It is worth mentioning that according to a telegram from Jessfield Road, Feng Man had left Nanjing and returned to Shanghai in advance.
Cao Yu privately speculated that perhaps because Feng Man was gone, Su Chende couldn't remember them for a while.
He had nothing to do these days, so he liked to go to the Kuiyuan Teahouse to drink tea and listen to music.
……
One day, Cao Yu held some melon seeds in his hand and went up to the second floor of the Kuiyuan Teahouse while eating them.
"Make a pot of scented tea, a plate of snacks, and some melon seeds, peanuts, and dried fruits."
"Okay, sir, please take a seat."
"Get another copy of Jinling Evening News, the latest one," Cao Yu ordered.
"Jinling Evening News, the latest one, good."
Tea, melon seeds, snacks, pastries, and newspapers were quickly delivered.
Cao Yu crossed his legs, leisurely drinking tea, eating snacks, and flipping through the newspaper in his hand. In his ears was the little tune playing on the stage downstairs. His whole expression was extremely relaxed.
It was at this moment that his eyes stopped on the third page of the newspaper, or to be exact, the middle of page three or four.
There are some ads there.
What caught his attention was a missing person advertisement.
"Xing Yan of Zhenze went to visit his third uncle Bai Zhanyang in Pingjiaqiao, Zhabei. He had a slight stutter but was somewhat literate and used to make a living by writing letters for others."
A trace of solemnity flashed across Cao Yu's face, and then he remained calm and continued to drink tea and listen to music.
An hour later, after drinking two pots of tea and eating most of the snacks and pastries, Cao Yu burped, and strolled out of the Kuiyuan Teahouse with a toothpick in his mouth.
Cao Yu bought a candied haws and ate it while strolling around. After walking two streets and secretly observing to make sure that no one was following him, he went around to an alley. After coming out of the alley, he hailed a rickshaw.
"Go to Pingcang Lane."
……
"Sir, we have arrived at Pingcang Lane."
Cao Yu got off the car and paid the fare.
Then he took out his cigarette box, lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and then walked into Pingcang Lane with the cigarette in his mouth.
In the middle of Pingcang Lane, Cao Yu saw that no one was paying attention, so he turned into a small alley and then circled around.
About twenty minutes later, he appeared at Beimen Bridge, about three miles southeast of Pingcang Lane.
After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Cao Yu walked to the door of a residence and knocked.
"Who is it?" a question came from inside.
"Is Third Uncle home? It's me." Cao Yu said, "Ai Chong."
With a creak, the door opened.
"You kid, you come to your uncle empty-handed." Bao Rengui glanced at Cao Yu and said jokingly.
"I'm so thirsty." Cao Yu yelled, "Uncle San, give me some water. I'm so thirsty."
"Please sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water." Bao Rengui closed the door and bolted it gently.
……
When Bao Rengui was pouring water, Cao Yu went into the inner room to take a look. After confirming that there was no danger or outsiders, he came out.
Bao Rengui glanced at Cao Yu, but he was not angry. Instead, he said, "You have a good habit. Keep it up."
Cao Yu smiled. Caution was ingrained in his nature.
He will not relax his vigilance just because Comrade Bao Rengui is his superior. This has nothing to do with whether he trusts his comrades. This is a 'conditioned reflex' for a top lurker to survive.
……
"Comrade Red-crowned Crane, why did you suddenly come to Nanjing?" Cao Yu asked in a low voice, "and even sent a signal for an emergency meeting in the newspaper."
"Comrade Li Yi has been arrested." Bao Rengui said in a low voice.
Cao Yu's expression changed immediately. "Where was he arrested? When did it happen? Who arrested him?"
"The intelligence was delivered to Shanghai the night before yesterday and delivered to me yesterday morning," Bao Rengui said. "I came to Nanjing from Shanghai immediately."
He said to Cao Yu, "I bought the missing person advertisement for that location after I arrived in Nanjing. I was worried before, not knowing when you would see the code. You came faster than I thought."
……
"Comrade Li Yi was taken away by the enemy while he was at work," said Bao Rengui.
"Who took him away?" Cao Yu asked immediately.
"I'm from the Nanjing District of the Special Agent Headquarters." Bao Rengui said, "It is precisely because I know that you are in Nanjing on business that I came to Nanjing urgently to look for you."
"Why was he captured by the enemy?" Cao Yu asked, "Did Comrade Li Yi expose himself? Or was he captured by mistake due to an unexpected situation?"
"I don't know."
"Why is Comrade Li Yi in Nanjing?" Cao Yu asked again, "Shouldn't he be in Moscow? When did he return to Nanjing?"
"Not sure." Comrade Red-crowned Crane shook his head.
He looked at his 'Second Cousin' comrade with a frown on his face, and said with a helpless smile, "We just learned about this situation from our superiors. The situation is serious."
Cao Yu didn't say anything, but his expression was serious and he fell into deep thought.
