Occupied

Sinan Mansion

The Hengma Road opposite is the bustling Joffre Road, and the people here are carefully covering up with thick blue velvet curtains.

"Since the Military Control Bureau returned to Shanghai, it has been surrounded like Tietong, and nothing from the organization can be passed on."

"That's why you need to figure out a way."

"What can I do? It's not like you don't know. Now the checkpoint is full of military commanders."

"Where's the one from Chunhe Hospital?"

"I guess it's still on the way."

"He too?"

"He was the team leader of the group in the early years, and now he is in charge of the contact work in the entire Shanghai area."

It was bright daytime outside, and because the curtains were drawn, a few people still opened the desk lamps early and sat around.

Because the situation here in Shanghai is controlled by the military, and now the two parties are in opposition, as a member of the CCP’s underground party lurking in Shanghai,

They have to be careful, and everything is like a soldier.

quarter past two

Xia Yuechun's car was still stuck on the Hengma Road, and the people from the military command on the opposite side pulled the checkpoints and checked them one by one before letting them go.

"Yuechun, look..." Ah Si was sitting in the driver's seat. He was originally in charge of sending Xia Yuechun to the Sinan Mansion. Today he was going to hold an organization meeting of the CCP's underground party, but now he was stuck here, it was too late It took about 10 minutes or so.

"It's okay, don't turn the direction." Xia Yuechun touched the medical first-aid kit next to the seat: "We are just going to see a doctor for Boss Zhang."

"Ah."

While speaking, the car has already driven slowly into the front of the checkpoint.

The soldiers stopped them: "Hey, it turned out to be Doctor Xia." Chunhe Hospital is now considered a large private hospital in Shanghai. of.

"I'm on a doctor's visit." Xia Yuechun rolled down the car window cooperatively.

After a brief inspection of the carriage and the medical first aid kit, the soldiers of the military commander made way for Xia Yuechun with a smile.

"Let's go." Xia Yuechun told Ah Si.

Ah Si nodded and drove in silence.

That's how they passed the checkpoint.

"Whose car is this?"

About one or two minutes after Xia Yuechun passed the checkpoint, he walked up to the soldier who had just been in charge of checking: "Whose car is this?"

"Oh... Du..."

"Answer my question first."

"It's Chunhe Hospital, Dean Xia's car. He said he was going to see a doctor."

"A doctor's visit?" The person who asked the question repeated it noncommittally.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, and saw that there was a downtown business district in front of him, and there were very few people staying there, unless it was a hotel or something... Where is he going for a doctor's visit?Is it the most recent... is it still...

"Go, come with me."

***************************

so close……

Xia Yuechun passed the checkpoint, rubbed his palms, and patted the medical first aid kit beside him.

This box was left behind by his father. Old things are related. For example, this box has two layers, and there is a mezzanine at the bottom. If you don't have a very good eye, you will definitely not see anything strange.

The car drove smoothly, turned three turns and arrived at Xiafei Road, where Xia Yuechun got off the car.Ah Si parked the car on the side of the road and locked it.

Xia Yuechun took the portable first-aid kit and walked around with Ah Si to the alley on Xiafei Road.

Alleys extend in all directions

"No one is watching now." Ah Si said to Xia Yuechun after investigating the situation on the side of the road.

"it is good."

They crossed from the alley to the opposite Hengma Road, and after another street, they could reach the Sinan Mansion.

However, just as they were about to walk out of the small alley, Ah Si suddenly turned around, grabbed Xia Yuechun's hand tightly, and took Xia Yuechun back three or four steps. He leaned over and pressed Xia Yuechun tightly, and the two Clinging to the wall, Xia Yuechun's face was almost buried in his chest, but Ah Si didn't notice this, he just stared intently at the outside of the alley, like a leopard staring at a hunter.

Xia Yuechun's blood surged up, and he couldn't tell what the reason for this feeling was, he just felt his heart jump suddenly when he was held in Ah Si's hand, "What are you doing?"

He doesn't know why.

Shut up, someone!

Ah Si mouthed to him.

Xia Yuechun froze for a moment, and glanced at it from before.

A man in a simple gown was walking towards the Sinan mansion with a few entourages in casual clothes. The figure behind that man was... Du Luning!

Xia Yuechun almost screamed, Du Luning!

But in the Sinan Mansion... "He..." Xia Yuechun almost instinctively wanted to rush over...but he was held tightly by Ah Si and couldn't move.

"Calm down." Ah Si stopped him calmly.

yeah calm down...

Xia Yuechun clenched his fists, calm down, what's the use of rushing over... He has no effect other than to prove that he is also an underground party...

Calm down, calm down... Xia Yuechun clenched his teeth.

Du Luning had already led people into the Sinan mansion.

Xia Yuechun watched helplessly. After a while, the people in the Sinan mansion were brought out, some of them were from his own group, and some were outsiders.

Although not all of them were involved, most of them were arrested.And those people all had a calm expression on their faces.

His vision was a little blurred, and his lips were almost bleeding from the bite of his teeth.

Xia Yuechun thought sarcastically, as the team leader, he really failed.

……………… I am Lao Du who found the subtle dividing line…………………

Shanghai is still Shanghai, and there are still bright neon street scenes everywhere. Even though it was traumatized after the war, it can't hide the decadent color in it.

After returning to Shanghai, Du Luning received the task of cracking down on the underground party members of the Shanghai CCP.The instructions given by his superiors are above all else, but as a personal thought, he has no reason to feel cold teeth.

People gather together with benefits, and they also disperse with benefits.

Sure enough.

Du Luning looked at the people he caught in the Sinan mansion, some were dressed like servants, some were dressed as traders, but they all had the same look in their eyes.Du Luning recognized it, because he remembered Lao Yu who was in the coffee shop on Duolun Road back then, and he had the same look in his eyes.

"Chu Du... Do you want to take them back?"

Du Luning froze for a moment, then looked at the servant who interrupted his recollection.The strange face was no longer what it used to be, and the strange address made him a little uncomfortable. In August 1946, the Military Commission was reorganized into the Ministry of National Defense, and the official name of the Military Control Bureau was also changed to the Ministry of National Defense Secrecy Bureau.So now he has been transferred to become the head of the Shanghai District Department, and he is no longer the chief of the detective department.

Du Luning sighed suddenly, feeling that things were different, and he quickly restrained his emotions, and nodded dutifully: "Take it back and check."

"Ok."

During the conversation, the servants had already arranged for people to take away all relevant personnel.

Du Luning looked around: "Let's go back."

"Yes."

Xia Yuechun watched Du Luning leave with the people in the dark corner of the alley, if he could, he really wanted to rush over.

Ah Si grabbed him as much as possible to prevent him from being impulsive. Xia Yuechun moved his body, trying to get closer. As the team leader, he couldn't do anything, so he could only do this, even if it was the only way, let him see him off again. for a while...

"careful!"

Ah Si suddenly grabbed Xia Yuechun's arm nervously and dragged him back.

Du Luning turned around, years of intuition told him that someone seemed to be staring at his back.

The most taboo thing for a person who works on a knife-edge is the feeling of being stared at from behind.He looked back, the bustling road

"Du Chu, we..."

"Wait……"

Du Luning seemed to have seen something suddenly, stopped the servant's words, and walked away.

that direction...

Xia Yuechun's heart sank suddenly, as if he couldn't see the end all at once, his whole body shivered suddenly, his car!his car!

His eyes widened, his car was parked there!Du Luning was walking towards his car!

Ah Si had no choice but to hug the distraught Xia Yuechun in his arms to ensure that he would not do anything.

Xia Yuechun grabbed Ah Si's clothes tightly, as if he was holding his own heart tightly.

Uneasy, apprehensive, many guesses flashed through his mind in an instant, Du Luning found his car... Du Luning is so cautious, he will definitely think of it when he sees it like this...

This time, he will be exposed!

"Du Chu?" The attendant looked at Du Luning's behavior suspiciously, only seeing him staring at an ordinary black car for a long time, very confused.

Du Luning ignored him, and carefully looked at the photo of the car. After observing the type of car, he said to the attendant next to him: "Remember this photo, and check who it is."

"Yes."

Du Luning straightened his back and smiled with satisfaction: "Let's go."

If he guessed correctly, that car should belong to Xia Yuechun.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Chu Du, we found it."

After returning to the bureau, it didn't take long before someone came to report, "The license plate of this car belongs to Xia Yuechun, the director of Chunhe Hospital."

Du Luning was in the office when he heard the news, and his secretary Yu Xiaojiang was making tea for him. When the orderly came in to talk, she poured the tea without any hesitation.

It's just that the tea splashed a little bit outside the cup.

Du Luning didn't notice at all, he smiled confidently.Half of his conjecture was verified. Most of the directors of Chunhe Hospital have problems. If they really came out for a visit, then where did the people go when the car was parked here?

Well worth exploring.

Xia Yuechun was full of worries, and he didn't say a word on the road. He was always talkative, and he must have been disturbed by the scene he saw.Mingming watched his comrade get arrested, but he hid in the corner and was helpless.

There must be sacrifices in class struggle. He doesn't understand, but whenever he sees comrades leave, the heart-pounding pain and frustration will arise spontaneously. Bring hope to the whole nation.

"It's here..." Ah Si had already parked the car and failed to attend the meeting on time. They just avoided it for a while and turned back.

Seeing no movement from Xia Yuechun, Ah Siyou specially called out, "Yuechun, we're here."

"Oh... oh..." As if waking up from a dream, Yuechun came back to his senses, opened the door and got out of the car a little sluggishly.

Ah Si didn't dare to say anything, locked the car door as usual, and followed behind him.

"Are you okay?"

After following into the room, he asked softly.

"It's okay." It's a lie to say that he won't be hit, but Xia Yuechun has always been rigorous and wise, and his psychological quality is naturally better than ordinary people after studying psychology.

Not long after, he got up from this depressing blow, sorted out his thoughts, began to reflect and analyze, and then there was a burst of phone calls, speaking some code words that Ah Si could not understand, as if to inform everyone current situation of personnel.

Finally put down the phone with a sigh of relief, Xia Yuechun rested his chin in his hands and meditated for a moment, then called, "Ah Si."

Ah Si, who was about to make tea, walked to the door and stopped, looking back at Xia Yuechun who had regained his calm. He is a natural leader with an extraordinary bearing.

"Come in, I have something to tell you."

Yuechun walked over and closed the door, motioning Ah Si to sit on the sofa.Liu Ah Si was a little nervous. It was the first time for him to have such a face-to-face political conversation.

He seems to be very close to Xia Yuechun, but also seems to be very distant. He is indeed by his side all the time, but he knows very little about Xia Yuechun's work.

He never talks much, maybe that's why Dean Xia likes to keep him by his side?

"I want to hear your thoughts."

Xia Yuechun pushed his glasses and looked at Ah Si with a very calm and trusting gaze, which made Ah Si turn his head even more uncomfortably.

"what idea?"

"Did I expose my identity? I always have something strange today."

"I can't tell, but that person is hard to deal with." Ah Si pointed to that person. He once helped the boss to kidnap him.

"Du Luning? Do you know him?"

Xia Yuechun was a little surprised, Ah Si should not be familiar with this person.

"I once helped the boss and kidnapped him once."

"Kidnapping?!" When did this happen, why didn't he know at all, this bastard, Ah Chu, was too arrogant.

"Well, it should be for the second master's business."

"Okay, okay, let's ignore this." Yuechun guessed a little bit, probably because of the order of the military command to make Ah Ci and Li Daitao stiff. It has been so many years, anyway, these two brothers are now living abroad what they should have It's been a while.

It's just that the situation in this country is more severe than it was during the Anti-Japanese War.

"Then what do you think today...?"

Yuechun thought about it for a while, and it was Liu Asi who quickly pulled him to hide, or he would have been arrested earlier.

"It's better to be careful... I have a bad feeling."

Liu Ahsi has an exceptionally keen intuition, which is a skill that any person who has experienced the battlefield has experienced in countless dangers.

"Have you seen clearly how many people were taken away?" Xia Yuechun knew in his mind, but still wanted to confirm.

"Three." Liu Ah Si said without hesitation.

"Hmm..." Yue Chun nodded, still feeling a little melancholy between his brows. After all, the comrades who were arrested in this way are likely to be gone forever, but not all of them were captured, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.

"They..." Ah Si didn't go on, he also understood the rules here, the second master was arrested that time, it was purely because the boss was desperate to save people, otherwise the second master would have lost his life.

He was a killer who crawled from the underworld. In fact, countless people died under his hands. Why did this happen for a few unrelated people? Thinking of the death they are about to face, I feel a little flustered.

"Sacrifice is inevitable. Torture and torture are inevitable, so we all have to be prepared to be betrayed."

It's not that he doesn't believe in his revolutionary comrades, but that in the face of the shocking torture, it's hard to guarantee that some people can't stand it and let go.They had already been spotted by others, and they couldn't be careless anymore. Thinking of these, his heart became heavier and heavier.Forced to squeeze out a smile, Yue Chun heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Ah Si.

"Thank you for always being with me."

This thank you made Ah Si even more nervous and turned his head further away.

"No...nothing...should be."

"What are you doing? My face is so unsightly? Why do you need to turn your face behind your back?"

"No..." Ah Si turned his head around, looking at Xia Yuechun who had a sulky face.

"You, the biggest advantage of you, is that you can do things with few words."

It's not the first time Yuechun praised Ah Si's strengths, and for some reason, with such a person by his side, he can be more at ease, "You don't even ask me, and you help me silently like this."

"For an organization, the more people who know about it, the greater the chance of leaking the secret, right? I understand this truth, so, whatever you ask me to do, I will obey. For other things, if you don't tell me, I won't ask."

What Ah Si said was the truth, he did not exaggerate, he has always been this kind of person.

"Will the arrested person be the same as the second master?"

Yuechun knew that Ah Si meant torture, but there were some differences.

At that time, this kind of cruelty and blood came from the Japanese, and now it comes from the opposing Kuomintang, the same Chinese.

"meeting."

"If there is no one to save him, he will die." Ah Si recalled the fright he had experienced. He watched the envious boss rush into No. 76 Jierfeisi Road to save people.

"meeting."

Xia Yuechun was also extremely sad in his heart, and answered very briefly, "If I am arrested..."

Yuechun's hypothesis made Ah Si feel cold all of a sudden, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Will you come to save me?" Yue Chun smiled.

"Of course!" Ah Si nodded.

"Don't come!" The smile on Yuechun's face disappeared, and he spit out three words and took a deep breath, "If I'm arrested, you'll run far away, absolutely don't come to rescue me!"

"I..." Ah Si rarely hesitated, instead of obeying consistently.

"Si, you are really a very reliable person. So, promise me."

"This one……"

"Aren't you absolutely obedient?"

"Yes..." Ah Si was stunned. He used to be, and until this moment he was absolutely obedient.At this moment, he couldn't say a word of affirmation and obedience.

Absolute obedience was the first lesson he learned in the underworld. He firmly memorized these four words with the pain all over his body, and never resisted.

But today, he asked himself, he couldn't agree to Xia Yuechun's words.

"promise me."

"it is good……"

No, I answered like this in my heart, although he still silently agreed, he only knew that he would never leave Xia Yuechun alone.

To protect him and walk with him instead of Snow Wolf, isn't that the only reason for him to stay in Shanghai and by his side?
