Chapter 680 Mutual Performance

Watching Wang Yan and others leave, Minglou turned around and entered the office building at No. 76. He went to Wang Manchun's office and knocked on the door. After receiving a response, he opened the door and walked in.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Wang Manchun's eyes widened at the right time, with three parts surprise, three parts confusion, and the remaining four parts surprise. She pretended not to know, which showed her love for Minglou very well.

But her artificial look made Minglou want to vomit. How could there be such a shameless woman in the world? You're messing with Wang Yan over there, but you're still flirting with him here? Disgusting, so disgusting!

But he still covered it up very well. Maybe it couldn't be said to be a cover-up, but it was just natural. His smile didn't even pause when he came in, and there was still a little bit of emotion in his eyes, a kind of ambiguity that belonged to the pull between men and women.

"Mr. Wang is the richest man in Shanghai. He has business dealings with both political parties, Japanese, and foreigners. Now thousands of military police have been dispatched to surround his warehouse and arrested two of his best men. If something happens to him, , Shanghai’s economy will suffer a huge blow. In this case, how can I, the director of the Economic Department who serves as deputy director of the Special Task Committee, not come over?”

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Wang Manchun smiled and walked aside to pour water: "Brother, please sit down, I'm sorry, I only have boiled water here."

"It's not embarrassing, it's actually very good. It's much better than those people who put expensive red wine and foreign wine in the office to show off."

"You say that, but you include Minister Zhou and Chairman Wang. Be careful if I file a lawsuit against you."

"Hey, this is exactly what Minister Zhou said to me. He said that many people can't judge the quality of red wine or foreign wine, but they just treat foreign products as good. That's why he didn't set up a wine cabinet in the office. It’s just like there’s something wrong, Minister Zhou is also very helpless.”

Minglou sat on the sofa and asked naturally: "When will the lockdown at the factory be lifted?"

"There are so many people to screen, and the goods have to be searched. It's still midnight."

"I don't think it's all about searching the red party lurking in the warehouse, right? Are you suspicious of Mr. Wang?"

"How is that possible? It's not like you don't know how big his business is and how many contacts he has. He has been investigated eight times if not ten times. From childhood to adulthood, everything was clearly investigated, and his business is basically under control. . It’s just because he has too many contacts with people from both parties and sells materials in large quantities. Even he himself knows that there are many people from both parties under him.

These people not only monitor the operation of his company, but also use his name to facilitate work in Shanghai, so the purpose this time is to use this matter to conduct a thorough search. When he catches people from both parties, he will still thank us. "

Wang Manchun was telling the truth, and indeed he had no doubts about it, but their intentions were not that kind. It is nothing more than checking carefully whether there is any problem. After all, it has not been checked before. Now that the red party has emerged, it is just a matter of course. To doubt everything is the behavior of the Japanese and these traitors of the puppet government. Even if there is nothing wrong with Wang Yan, we must be careful that he does, because he is so close to the two parties.

Therefore, the Red Party wants to arrest him, and Wang Yan wants to investigate even more.

Minglou certainly understands this truth: "It's better not to cause too much trouble for him. Even if he is found out, don't deliberately implicate him. The new government is still in the preparation stage, and there is no room for chaos at this time."

Seeing Wang Manchun nodding, he continued: "By the way, I came in a hurry, and things happened suddenly. I just briefly asked Director Li. He was in a hurry to see Mr. Wang, so he didn't say much to me. On the other hand, I was accompanying Wang Yan. When we were chatting, he said he was unlucky and told me a little bit about it. He said that a red man in the confidential department was caught peeking at the archives, and finally the deputy of Yonghua Industrial was implicated. General manager, what’s going on?”

Wang Manchun turned around and walked over politely, put the cup on the coffee table, pushed it in front of Minglou, and then sat on the single sofa next to her: "That's it, the red party lurking in a secret place, listen He said that we were going to secretly arrest and deal with a group of Shanghai intellectuals who fiercely opposed the establishment of the new government and openly insulted Chairman Wang. According to the usual practice, the action documents should be kept in the archives for backup, and the red party would contact them elsewhere. I couldn’t find the list, so I went to the archives to look for it.”

"You cannot be careless in your work. Mr. Wang is right when he says that No. 76 is like a sieve, anything can be spread. What happened this time just shows that your confidentiality work is not good enough. The rumor spread When we go out, those people will take their seats, won’t they all run away in advance?”

"Brother, it's just the two of us, so don't talk to me in an official tone." Wang Manchun crossed her legs and said with a sweet smile, "We actually spread the news on purpose, in order to scare those people from chewing. Tongue. Otherwise, no matter how secretive our actions are, there will always be traces. Those people are very prestigious and influential. If Chairman Wang gets a bad name, we will not be the unlucky ones in this matter. Why is it important, so Director Li didn’t tell you. But Senior Brother, the red party in the confidential department did see a more important document. "

Minglou drank the hot water calmly and said nothing. He just looked at Wang Manchun and waited for her to continue.

"It's about deciphering archived messages from the military command. Last time, the intelligence section chief of the Shanghai station of the military command, code-named Poisonous Bee, whose real name was Wang Tianfeng, organized and led the failed assassination of Chairman Wang. We caught the tail and basically wiped out the military command. One-third of the strength of the Shanghai Station, and later Chongqing sent Chen Gongshu as the Operations Section Chief, and Wu Qiren as the Secretary of the Unification Committee Behind Enemy Lines. This time they had another action, and they still wanted to assassinate Chairman Wang.

We also got information that the military commander also secretly dispatched a new intelligence section chief to take over Wang Tianfeng's work. According to reliable sources, this new intelligence section chief is codenamed Viper and is likely to be lurking within our ranks.

This deciphered message talks about exactly this. At the same time, one of their contact points was exposed. We are monitoring it, so I won’t tell you the specific location. In addition, we have also locked the location of the military secret radio station and are conducting detailed investigations. We will be able to locate the specific location in less than two days. "

"Oh? Really, then you are going to make great contributions again. When the time comes, I will definitely ask Minister Zhou for your merits and commend you for your outstanding contributions to the new government."

"Senior brother, please don't laugh at me. It's you who have made the real outstanding contributions. Otherwise, what do we, the people below, eat, drink, and work for?" Wang Manchun shook his head and smiled, "Okay, senior brother, let's talk less. Are we still so hypocritical in this situation? By the way, I heard A Cheng say, did you find a foreigner abroad before? "

"This Acheng, I will tell you everything. I will take care of him later. In fact, there is nothing to say. At that time, she was..."

I don't know what happened to Wang Manchun, but Minglou definitely didn't like dealing with Wang Manchun, but he had to talk to this bitch about everything, and even flirt a little ambiguously.

After talking for a while, the conversation finally ended. With Wang Manchun's reluctant farewell, Minglou got into the car driven by Mingcheng and left in the heavy snow.

Of course they both knew the question that Qi Si could react to, so they remained silent along the way.

It snowed heavily, the roads were poor, and some phone lines were even damaged due to the weather, making it impossible to carry out much work. Besides, it was already afternoon now, and it would be time to get off work in less than a few hours, so I went straight back to the Ming Mansion in the French Concession. It was better to have a hot meal early than anything else.

When they arrived at home, Minglou went to deal with Mingjing first, while Mingcheng checked everything inside and outside the car before entering the house and going to Minglou's study.

"Brother, how is the situation?"

"Not good." Minglou frowned, "Wang Manchun said that the person lurking in the secret place was because of a list of intellectuals who opposed the establishment of Wang's puppet government and cursed Wang Zhaoming... Later, he said that the person saw it The more important document was the message they deciphered, which was related to the assassination of Wang Zhaoming. They also said that they had reliable information that they knew that the new intelligence chief of the Shanghai Station was codenamed "Viper" and was lurking within the puppet government. A contact point is under surveillance, and a secret radio station has locked the direction and is conducting investigation. "

"Didn't you mention the specific location?"

"Nonsense, can she say it?"

Mingcheng also frowned: "Then should I hurry up and inform our people to evacuate, be silent, and then report to the superiors?"

"You can't believe everything Wang Manchun said. She still has doubts about me. What she said may not be a test of me. Her words revealed a message, that is, we have spies inside, either in Chongqing or in Shanghai Station. Without accurate information, we have no way to confirm whether this is true or whether it is false information deliberately released to me.

And that's not all. Nightingale was lurking in the telecommunications office, intercepting messages and deciphering code books. She should be aware of this kind of thing, but she didn't tell us. If the information is true, what does it mean? It shows that Li Shiqun also has a secret telecommunications group. He trusts neither the Japanese nor the rebellious Chinese like us.

If we act rashly and let Wang Manchun get the news, we two brothers will die without a burial place. "

"Looking for Liang Zhongchun?" Mingcheng thought for a while and said, "If there is such an operation, the Intelligence Department will definitely not have enough manpower. Although Wang Manchun despises Liang Zhongchun, he must borrow manpower from him. He should know some specific situations. ”

Minglou pondered for a moment and nodded: "You have told him from the side that we have some connections with Chongqing. He likes money more. You can tell him briefly that we have established a relatively good relationship with Wang Yan. The relationship may allow him to get some benefits from Wang Yan."

Seeing Mingcheng's hesitation, he continued: "Wang Manchun was on guard against me. Li Shiqun wanted to kick me out of the Special Committee. Fortunately, I got Zhou Fuhai's approval, and he didn't want to let Li Shiqun have too much power. This time I borrowed Wang Yan's information, otherwise it would be impossible to know the news. If it is false, it doesn't matter. If it is true, then we will be passive.

During the months of preparations for the establishment of the new government, Wang Yan directly roped in Wang Zhaoming, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fuhai and others to do business together in the face of pressure from the new government. Several factories in Wusongkou were their joint ventures. Newly built. Wang Yan is a man who knows how to give up. Before I even opened my mouth, he gave me a benefit of 20,000 US dollars.

If I hint that although I am in a low position, I am in charge of industrial and commercial affairs, he will definitely not refuse, and he will not even have any opinions about me. Because for him, only those who make money together are trustworthy. In this way, we can push Liang Zhongchun out and let him take Wang Yan's car, which is a good thing for everyone.

In addition, it snowed so heavily, I estimate that if there is any action, it will be delayed, but to be on the safe side, you should contact our people tonight and let them act carefully. In addition, tell Chen Gongshu to hold back for the time being and never let the old things happen again. "

"Okay, I'll go out now."

"Be careful and don't reveal any flaws."

"Yes, big brother. "

Watching Mingcheng drive out without even eating a bite of food, Minglou let out a long sigh, opened the door and went out with a smile to deal with his elder sister Mingjing...

Wang Yan didn't worry about intelligence, even if it might cause great damage to the Shanghai underground party organization, because he really couldn't get intelligence.

It's impossible for him to ask Wang Manchun, let alone ask Minami Yoko or something. He showed that he never took the initiative to ask for intelligence. He always led the conversation there unintentionally. Even if he did, it was just a simple two sentences, and he took the initiative to change the subject. People thought that he said a few more words.

After all, in order to get intelligence, in addition to really mastering specific intelligence, the rest is listening and watching. He is just a gangster, not involved in politics, but just tied a group of people with interests. It's good enough to be able to listen and watch.

As for the people he came into contact with, no matter they were enemies or friends, they had to admit that they were all the best of this era. Who could reach a high position easily? If he had not had the previous experience, but came to this era when he was just favored by his living father, he would die quickly. Nothing else, just because of the mediocrity of incompetence, the stupidity of taking things for granted, the unwillingness of heart, and the blood that was hard to cool.

These days, no matter what you do, as long as you make a mistake, it is difficult to die well. Farmers are bullied by some people, and some people collect heavy taxes. Prices are extremely high, and they can't eat well or wear warm clothes. Businessmen have backers behind them, and they are pigs that let the backers eat meat. Without backers, they are pigs that let others eat meat.

How many people who are in politics and officials can make a name for themselves? Aren't they all passers-by who are trembling with fear below. If the superior is unhappy, he dare not even say a word when he slaps him in the face. Being an official It's not much better. Being a minor official has all kinds of pressure from above, and there are all kinds of open and secret struggles among the middle and high-level officials. If you don't do well at the top, you will be assassinated.

As for being a soldier, let alone, there are wars on the front line, and there are batches of deaths.

As for going to Yan'an, it is a problem whether you can get there alive. Even if you are lucky enough to get there, according to his ability at that time, most of it is superficial. Without a systematic knowledge system, he cannot provide much help to Yan'an. Probably just doing general work there by being able to write and calculate.

This is not over yet. In 1946, the Liberation War broke out. The Red Party was in a weak position for a time and was driven out of Yan'an. Will he follow? Everyone knows that the Red Party will win, but can he live to see the victory? These are all problems.

In other words, living longer and experiencing more Only with more, could Wang be able to get along with everyone in Shanghai, a city full of open and secret struggles and twists and turns, and live a comfortable life. Otherwise, he would have died on the streets...

At midnight that day, the Japanese military police who surrounded the warehouse of the North Station and the special high section and the agents of No. 76 who assisted in the search left.

This large-scale search can be said to be without blind spots, and even the account books of the finance office were investigated. Some firearms and ammunition from European and American countries during the First World War hidden in the factory, as well as some banned drugs, were found. This is all very normal and there is no big problem. The problem is that No. 76 took three workers away from the warehouse.

At midnight that day, after Wang Yan sent a report, he received calls from Shi Changxing and Wang Manchun to Wang's mansion, telling him that the three people were two military commanders and one red party member.

If they said that they left something in the factory, Wang Yan didn't believe it. There were so many people in the warehouse, and the mobility was still very large. It was impossible for someone to leave something that exposed their identity in the warehouse. And his working hours are relatively relaxed, and he doesn't need to carry anything with him. Of course, this factor is not ruled out, and it is still possible.

But in comparison, Wang Yan is more willing to believe that the quality of these three people is a little worse, and they did not hide it when facing the interrogation of the enemy spies. But they are brave. When they were tortured in public, they stubbornly withstood the first wave and did not betray other hidden personnel who knew about it at the first time, giving them a night to escape.

The reason for making such a judgment is that such a large warehouse, so many people coming and going, it is impossible that there are only three people from the two parties. Not to mention the Kuomintang, just talking about the Red Party, Gu Yongcheng has become the general manager and become Wang Yan's right-hand man. Such a convenient and safe place to hide people cannot be just one person.

No matter how many employees whose names he doesn't know will be reduced in the future, let alone how many more employees whose names he doesn't know, Wang Yan must first solve his own troubles.

Of course, it's not really a trouble. Because of his high position and the chaotic situation, he didn't even read all the names of his subordinates, let alone accurately control each of them. Even the Japanese themselves have a bunch of hidden agents under their command. But the Japanese don't care about this, the guns are in their hands, so the only way to solve all problems is to use money.

Perhaps because Minami Yoko is a woman, and because she is not keen on sex, this Japanese woman refused Wang Yan's invitation to a private dinner, and further refused Wang Yan's invitation to organize a gathering of Japanese and Wang Puppet Group friends, but accepted the 50,000 US dollars that Wang Yan asked Wang Manchun to pass on.

In order to comfort Wang Yan, she later called Wang's mansion in person and had a cordial conversation with Wang Yan for more than ten minutes.

Compared with Minami Yoko, a Japanese woman, Iwai Eiichi, a short and strong Japanese, is easy to make an appointment with. However, when Wang Yan made the appointment, he did not agree, but changed it to the third day, saying that he had important things to deal with recently, and said that he would introduce him to a new friend at that time...
