Chapter 679 Fortunately, I Am Also a Red Party Member

Hearing this, Wang Yan stopped pulling the mutton, looked up at the cautious Gu Yongcheng, and then looked at the smiling Shi Changxing on the other side. It wasn't until the two people were sweating on their foreheads and their eyes were weak that he used his chopsticks to remove the meat from the pot. Take a piece of meat out of it, put it in a bowl, dip it in the sauce and eat it in your mouth.

He said: "Are you two also members of the Red Party?"

Finally speaking, Shi Changxing shook away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead. The silence just now was really scary. The eldest brother's face was expressionless, his eyes were clear, and he didn't say anything scary, but just like that, he had a life-threatening power and exuded a life-threatening danger.

He also stepped forward carefully and said in a low voice: "Brother Yan, how can we have the courage? Besides, we are living a good life now, there is no need to seek death on our own. It was Li Zhaonian who found it himself. At that time... …Oh, Lao Gu, I don’t understand, just tell me.”

Gu Yongcheng was also frightened. Although he helped Wang Yan do business and didn't handle many dirty things, it didn't stop him from knowing. Although he can't be said to have done many evil things, he certainly kills people without blinking an eye. Eighty percent of the legends about Wang Yan in Shanghai are true, let's just say they are scary.

He took a breath and said in a low voice: "Brother Yan, it's like this. When I arrived at the company for the regular meeting this morning, I found that Yan Zhengcai was not there. This Yan Zhengcai is famous for his diligence among my staff. We started work at half past eight. In the past, he would arrive at eight o'clock. In the two years since he came, except for a few personal leaves, he has never been delayed. Even if it rains heavily, he will arrive at eight o'clock.

So I discovered something unusual about him and called his home after the meeting, but no one was there. Then I approached Manager Shi and asked him to send someone to Yan Zhengcai’s home to take a look. It was also at this time that Li Zhaonian came directly to my office to find the two of us. When he opened his mouth, he said that Yan Zheng was a red party member and he himself was a red party member. He told us that Yan Zhengcai had been arrested and he wanted us to help him hide and then send him out of Shanghai.

At that time, Manager Shi became anxious, took out a gun and put it on Li Zhaonian's head, asking why he should cooperate with him. Li Zhaonian was worthy of being a member of the Red Party. The gun was pressed against his head without blinking an eye. He said that he knew some secret transactions between our Yonghua Industrial and the Red Party. If he was caught by the Japanese, there was no way to guarantee that he would not speak out. As a result, we will be in big trouble. We are also determined that we dare not kill him, because if we cannot catch him in Shanghai and fail to contact the Red Party for a while, then the Red Party will definitely settle the score with us.

Moreover, he also said that we have a lot of red gang members, and if we really kill him, we can't hide it. The situation was urgent and it snowed so heavily today. We were unable to contact you immediately and did not dare to call you to notify you. Therefore, for the sake of safety, we could only follow Li Zhaonian's wishes and arrange for him and his family to hide in our secret warehouse in the suburbs.

That's what happened, Brother Yan, we are really not Red Party members. It was Li Zhaonian who took over our army. We have no choice but to stand idly by and watch. "

Wang Yan nodded, then looked at Shi Changxing: "Tell me, how did he find you?"

Shi Changxing tried to think back and said: "I remember it was around nine o'clock. I was playing cards with my brothers. Lao Gu asked his secretary to come over and call me. At that time, the secretary also told me what Lao Gu meant, and I sent my hand Xiao Wu brought someone there, and then I went to Lao Gu's office. Before I could say anything, Li Zhaonian came in to show off his cards, and then that's what Lao Gu said. "

"Is it clean from beginning to end? Are there any flaws?"

"Brother Yan, I guarantee with my head that there is absolutely no problem. Especially today, it snowed heavily and it hasn't stopped now. All traces have been covered up. The only ones who are not safe are the four people who sent Li Zhaonian's family away. Although they are all loyal, we cannot be careless about this matter. If anything is revealed, haven't we all explained it? I plan to send them to Yan'an with Li Zhaonian when the time comes, so I specially selected those who don't have family members. They work in Yan'an, and if they ask people there to find a wife for them, they will be killed in Yan'an."

Wang Yan looked at Gu Yongcheng again: "Didn't you two personally handle the arms and medicines secretly traded with the Red Party? Li Zhaonian only assisted in running Yonghua Industrial, how did he know about it?"

The Red Party here refers to the guerrillas active in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Medicines can be transported by them, but arms are difficult to transport that far. Although there is a deal on the surface, it is obvious that such a little thing is not enough. But there was no clear deal, and it seemed unreasonable, so there was such a deal.

It was impossible for him to trade directly with the guerrillas. Instead, he left part of the money in Yan'an through trade, and then Yan'an sent a special person to contact Shi Changxing. Shi Changxing would also go to trade with the Red Party's purchasers to buy arms. The money for medicines will be part of the next payment, and the selling price is only based on volume, which is slightly cheaper than black market transactions.

There are many people involved in this transaction process, but only a few people know exactly what is going on. The reason why Gu Yongcheng knew about it was because there were numerous goods shipped to the Soviet area. As the general manager of Yonghua Industrial, he could sense that something was wrong and couldn't hide it. Another point is that Gu Yongcheng is from Shanghai and has a family of more than 20 people under control. If something goes wrong with him, the whole family will really die.

As for the accountants who do the accounting, although they do the accounting, they only compare the bills, and they don't know the truth. There is no so-called true or false account book. What Wang Yan wants to ensure is the chaos of the financial system. If he himself can't understand it, then no one can find the problem. He just needs to accurately grasp the materials that he actually controls. The numbers on the books are useless to him.

Financial chaos will inevitably lead to corruption among his subordinates that is difficult to detect. This is a very normal thing. It doesn't matter if you are greedy a little, but if you are greedy too much, there will naturally be rumors. After all, these days, people embezzle public money to make their lives better, and there are still few people who don't spend it after taking it back. Shi Changxing does this. If you hear about it, then investigate. If you catch him, then send him to do hard labor, working himself to death...

Gu Yongcheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe he has been working here for a long time and has seen some clues. After all, he is the deputy general manager. Although he does not manage the business specifically, it is difficult to prevent him from seeing business information."

Wang Yan glanced at him and nodded, "Since the person is hiding, it is too late to say anything now. Hurry up and send him to Yan'an. In addition, use the secret radio to contact the people over there and tell them what happened. We must express our dissatisfaction. Although it is useless, we must express our attitude.

We are now dependent on the Red Party for our livelihood. Penicillin is indeed easy to sell. There is a war in Europe again. The price of medicines has risen rapidly, making us a lot of money. But we cannot be kidnapped by the Red Party. This incident shows that the money we make is hot and life-threatening. So we must explain to the Red Party that it is understandable that they sent people, but they should not participate in intelligence matters in the future. If they participate in intelligence matters, don’t bring us with them. Isn’t this a trap for me?

You two too, do things in secret in the future. Don't let anyone catch you. No matter what you two are thinking, we are all in this together. If something goes wrong, no one can escape. When the time comes, I will make up my mind and surrender to the Japanese to save my life. Do you two think you can have a good life working for the Japanese? You are worse than dogs.

Also, such a big thing happened today. The Japanese surrounded the warehouse at around 11 o'clock, but I didn't know about it until around 12 o'clock in the afternoon. It was Wang Manchun who told me. What do your people do for a living? What's the point of keeping them? If you two are caught, the rest of the people will be in chaos and no one will know what to do. You are just hitting your head against the wall like a fool, don't you have any idea?

We have lived in peace for so many years, but it doesn't mean there is no danger, it doesn't mean no one will die. If we live in peace for too long, we will become useless. After you go back, you two should clean up the little leaders under your command one by one. They just drink, gamble, and play with women all day long. Can they still be of any use? Those who can't do it should get out as soon as possible. There are many people who want to take the position. Those who don't obey will be punished by family rules. Do you understand? "

When they said this, it meant that the matter was over. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly to show their loyalty.

"Let's eat."

"Brother Yan, I'm not lying to you, but I'm starving. This Sichuan and Chongqing hotpot is great, it makes me feel warm." Shi Changxing sighed, and did not forget to turn around and greet: "Ah Si, we're done with business, come here, come here."

Gu Yongcheng was on the side: "This hotpot is lively when a group of people eat together, it's warm, it's delicious, and it's delicious."

Qi Si was over there taking meat out of the pot and hurriedly brought it over, laughing and livening up the atmosphere, and it became lively all of a sudden.

Wang Yan didn't say anything, still drinking hot wine and eating shabu-shabu meat. This is what Qi Si wanted to eat, saying that he didn't eat enough at noon and wanted to have another meal...

Although he couldn't be sure, Wang Yan had already made a basic judgment about Shi Changxing and Gu Yongcheng. Shi Changxing might be fine, but Gu Yongcheng is very likely a member of the Red Party.

The Red Party members would not be so stupid. When something happened, the first thing they should do was not to find Gu Yongcheng to self-destruct or threaten him, but to contact other people who might be affected, and then run away as soon as possible. Moreover, Li Zhaonian was not a fool. He could not do such things that would destroy Wang Yan's friendship with the Red Party, because it would have a huge impact on the Soviet area.

Even if he was arrested, even if the Japanese would interrogate him about the internal situation of Yonghua Industry, he could pick up unimportant things and completely fool them, instead of having to confess some secret things. If he really confessed, his death would be just as miserable. Because Pei Min was lurking in Shanghai, this was a public matter. If he exposed the affairs of Yonghua Industry, it would be a major blow to the Soviet area, and it would be difficult for him to die well. Any normal person could think clearly about this kind of thing. What's more, he was a Red Party elite who was selected and sent to the secret front behind the enemy.

Li Zhaonian did not dare to make decisions on his own for such a matter. So in that emergency situation, he didn't run away quickly, but waited until after nine o'clock to find Gu Yongcheng to blew himself up. There was something wrong with this.

Then this problem can only be caused by Gu Yongcheng.

During the morning meeting, Li Zhaonian found that his subordinate Yan Zhengcai didn't come, and he didn't notify him in advance to ask for leave, so there must be something wrong. So at the meeting, he exchanged glances with Gu Yongcheng. The morning meeting of Yonghua Industrial is very brief. If there is something to talk about, there is nothing to do.

According to today's heavy snow, the content of the meeting is nothing more than talking about the delivery date to ensure that there will be no liquidated damages due to delay. In this regard, they are a rogue company and it is not easy. Business is about reliability. If you rely on power to solve problems, what will others think? There will be no business in the future. Therefore, Wang Yan, a rogue leader, must abide by this rule and cannot act arrogantly.

In addition, snow removal and warehouse inspection are scheduled to prevent heavy snow from collapsing the roof and causing losses. In addition, because Boss Wang has always been kind, he treats his workers very well. He also needs to arrange a simple investigation of tens of thousands of workers to see which family is really in trouble and the whole family is freezing. And confirm the health of employees to avoid a large-scale flu that will prevent work from being carried out.

These few things don't take much time at all. And it took Gu Yongcheng less than a few minutes to call Yan Zhengcai. Under such circumstances, his secretary went to find Shi Changxing at nine o'clock. There is a gap in time, so during this period, Gu Yongcheng and Li Zhaonian should have discussed the situation together, and finally decided to reveal their identities and leave Shanghai with the help of Wang Yan.

All this was because the snow was too heavy, and Li Zhaonian could not run fast with his family.

Another point is that Li Zhaonian was interviewed by Gu Yongcheng at the beginning, and Wang Yan attended and watched. The later promotion was also suggested by Gu Yongcheng. This person has nothing to do with Gu Yongcheng.

So in summary, Gu Yongcheng is very likely a member of the Red Party. The task he undertakes is nothing more than cooperating with the actions of the Red Party and being responsible for monitoring Wang Yan.

Judging from Li Zhaonian's affairs, Gu Yongcheng is likely to belong to the Shanghai underground party organization, not directly under the Central Committee. But there must be people directly under the Central Committee, who may not have climbed up, or among dozens of other managers.

In fact, there is another piece of evidence. During the prison break last year, several Red Party members pretended to be workers and finally left Shanghai with the goods and went to Yan'an. At that time in the office, although Gu Yongcheng concealed it very well, he could not avoid the complexity in his eyes for a moment.

The Red Party's infiltration ability is amazing. Gu Yongcheng, who is considered half a confidant, is a member of the Red Party, and this is Shanghai, which he is watching at all times. What will happen to his branches in other places?

He is surrounded by the Red Party, but fortunately, after all, he is also a member of the Red Party, and he is the one who hides the deepest...

In fact, the more open and aboveboard he is, the less he is suspected. The Japanese and the people of the Wang Puppet Government all said that he has no secrets, and the only secret is that they don't know how much money he has.

This seems to be a boast of his wealth, but in fact, it is a real secret. His wealth is his biggest secret. Once someone follows the business line, up and down, inside and out, they will definitely find that the flow of Yonghua Industrial funds is ultimately in Yan'an.

But this is the most difficult job, because his business line is very chaotic, and there are many people involved. Without a large number of people, it is very difficult to investigate from the outside. If you want to investigate from the inside, you need to be in a high position. But to be honest, the quality of the enemy's undercover agents is still much worse than that of the agents of the two parties.

Because many of the personnel of the two parties are high-level intellectuals, especially the Red Party is much better in this regard. This is due to the different situations they face. The Red Party has been in a weak position for many years and has been suppressed by the Kuomintang. The vision of the Red Party is most attractive to aspiring intellectuals. They have broken away from low-level interests and strive for their ideals. Lurking behind enemy lines, especially when it comes to professional matters, can't be done without education, and can only act as action personnel, most of the time in a silent state.

Enemy spies are different. Their composition is very complex. There are elites from the two parties, and more are villains who are incapable of changing their rudders with the wind. They are for themselves and for a better life. So those with high quality are busy fighting for power and making meritorious contributions, and those with low quality are just following the leaders to work.

Let the high-quality lurk under Wang Yan, can they do it? Damn, they were branded as traitors and surrendered to the Japanese, just to work for Wang Yan for free? They were also separated from the power center. If they didn't have any merit, they couldn't go back. If they did, Wang Yan would kill them even if he died. What's more, Wang Yan himself was a gangster leader. If he was discovered, there would be only one result, that is, he would be fed to the fish in the Huangpu River.

And those with low quality couldn't get ahead under Wang Yan at all. They were uneducated and had no professional skills. They would never be able to do anything. Can they fight? What did Wang Yan rely on to make a living? All his subordinates were ruthless and brave. Wang Yan supported their families. He just lived a carefree life and showed off his power to the working people.

However, there is a problem with the organizational structure of the Red Party now. Gu Yongcheng has become the general manager of Yonghua Industry. He shouldn't take risks to get intelligence. But the current situation is that Li Zhaonian participated in the intelligence, which shouldn't have happened.

The only explanation is that they are in two systems with different responsibilities, but they know each other's identities and use the identity of Yonghua Industry as a cover. Now there is a problem, and this is why there is a crossover.

In any case, the current problem has been solved and has nothing to do with him. But he should express his position. Because no matter what the process is, as a "partner of the Red Party", he knows that the result is that Li Zhaonian is very irrational and threatens to blow himself up, dragging Yonghua Industry into the water, and destroying his friendship with the Red Party. This case will be sued no matter what.

So that night, Wang Mansion, which had not had radio waves for a long time, once again had radio waves across thousands of miles to Chongqing.

Wang Yan tried to concisely describe the course of events, focusing on describing Li Zhaonian's behavior, how bad the impact was, and how dangerous it was to him.

Soon, the radio waves were transmitted back, and in the secret beeping sound, combined with the code book in Wang Yan's mind, the telegram was translated.

"It has been learned that we will deal with it after the truth is found out. The situation in Shanghai is serious today, please pay attention to safety."
