The Pretender--Liang Yan Dangshuanggui

March is here and spring has come.Everywhere in Shanghai in spring exudes vigor and vitality, and the places within sight seem to have brighter colors.But in this spring, the whole of Shanghai was still in a sad state. Under the Japanese counterfeit currency policy, the economy began to weaken obviously, and the battle in the dark became more and more fierce.

Ah Cheng was going to the Navy Club to meet Liang Zhongchun.

"Mingcheng."

As soon as Ah Cheng came out of the office building, he heard someone calling her, and when he turned around, he saw Yuan Yuan walking over.She is wearing a blue-green embroidered long cheongsam today.Mingcheng thought, this girl probably particularly likes blue-green colors.

Yuan Yuan stepped forward and took Mingcheng's arm, "Do me a favor and send me back to the agency."

Ah Cheng looked at her puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Go a little further, and you'll know."

Ah Cheng walked with her for a while, and then he discovered why this woman needed his help.She is being followed.

"Did you offend someone when you first came to Shanghai?" Ah Cheng asked her.

"I wrote a report two days ago about the views of French scholars on the current war situation. I guarantee that there are no personal opinions in it. But since yesterday, someone has been following me."

I can feel being followed, which doesn't seem to be a normal situation.

"Who is it, do you know?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look like a Japanese." Yuan Yuan moved closer to Ah Cheng, "You are an official, you can always protect me."

Ah Cheng laughed, but fortunately the newspaper office was not too far away, so he sent her back all the way.

But in this way, his appointment with Liang Zhongchun was a bit late, Director Liang waited for him at the Navy Club for half an hour.

Ah Cheng sat in his seat and took a sip of coffee.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The Japanese Gendarmerie on the 76th has recently added a few more people. Every time the action team goes out in the future, it will be assisted by a few Japanese soldiers."

"It is said to be assistance, but it is actually surveillance?"

Liang Zhongchun who was sitting opposite nodded his head.

"At least three," Liang Zhongchun waved his finger in front of him, "Three is not easy to deal with. You can't kill them, and you can't bribe them."

Ash thought for a while. "Well, if there is any action, you will take them with you, and you will do whatever they ask you to do." He leaned his head towards Liang Zhongchun, "If there is any mistake in this action, see if you can blame it on the joint action The gendarme. To let the Japanese cancel this kind of surveillance, they must understand that the Chinese are still active in the Chinese territory."

Liang Zhongchun glanced at him, "No. 76 is gradually losing trust now. Ding Mo Village has been gradually squeezed out of the power center since last year, and Li Shiqun is eager to kill all day long. Director Liu is very fond of him." Damn, "I am in the same boat as you."

"do you have any opinion?"

"Don't dare to do it. I have to ask Brother Ah Cheng to go to Pier No. [-] tonight."

Ah Cheng smiled at him and put down the coffee in his hand.

"I want to ask you something. Miss Yuan who declared, did you send someone to follow?"

Liang Zhongchun seemed very surprised that Ah Cheng would know about this.

"This matter, you are..."

"Miss Yuan is a student of Mr. in Paris, that is, my student."

"Here, the flood has rushed to the Dragon King Temple, I will withdraw people back."

Ah Cheng shook his head, "No need. Change to two smarter people to continue to follow and report to me directly. Let them come to the government office once a day." He looked at Liang Zhongchun hesitantly, "You don't need to know the reason .”

"to make."

Ah Cheng and Ming Lou returned home, he took Ming Lou's coat, hung it on the hanger, and told him what he discovered today.

"The person from No. 76 is checking Yuanyuan?" Minglou walked into the study, and asked after hearing Ah Cheng's words, "Did she find our person?"

"I don't know, probably because I haven't found that there are two groups of people following me."

"It's not easy to find No. 76. Some people under Liang Zhongchun can still use it."

"I asked Liang Zhongchun to continue monitoring."

"Okay, let's withdraw our people. Someone saves us trouble, and we don't want to waste scarce resources." Ming Lou turned and sat on the sofa, "The things you were asked to fetch, have you gotten them back?"

"It's hanging in your closet. It's been reformed. Do you want to send it to Miss Manchun another day? The wedding is only a few days away."

"Sending it over now is just asking for trouble. The last time she saw Eldest Sister, she probably got angry again." Ming Lou raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, "The words are too serious, I don't know why Next."

Ah Cheng sat on the sofa next to her, "It's pretty good that the eldest sister is willing to bow her head, but she's still picky."

"Frozen three feet, it's not a day's cold. Let's see, I'll send it to her tomorrow night." Ming Lou rubbed the corners of his eyes, "The Japanese want to use counterfeit money to control the economy, but at the same time want to keep Shanghai prosperous. It's whimsical. I don't know how this matter will develop, after all, it's been a while. Have you reported all the plans you made?"

"Yes," Ah Cheng replied, "All the Japanese economists in Shanghai have been found out. It is said that some Japanese officials in charge of the economy will also come to Shanghai after a while."

"Waiting for instructions, the situation is getting more and more chaotic, I hope it won't get too ugly." Minglou walked to the window, and the night was not too cold at this time.It was spring when Wang Manchun left, she came back, and now spring has returned to Shanghai.What will happen in the future, no one can tell.

The next morning, Wang Manchun walked to the corner of the labor market. She was wearing men's clothes today. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a young man in his 20s standing there.

She walked to the place where she was in charge of the notice, and told the person in charge in a low voice that she needed to find a nanny for the family, who could cook western food, buy red wine, and work eight hours a day. Anyone who was interested could find her on Nanjing Road and hang up for three days.

This is a message that newcomers to Shanghai will meet at a small stronghold on Nanjing Road tomorrow, three types of codes, and the time is eight o'clock in the evening.

All we have to do now is to wait with peace of mind.

Wang Manchun walked out of this noisy road, and found someone following her after not far. It was a woman, but she couldn't see her face clearly from a distance.Walking to a place with fewer people, she looked at the surrounding environment and stepped into a small alley.There's a back door to a café there, a hollow to hide in.Counting down 30 seconds, I saw someone staying at the entrance of the alley.

It's Yuan Yuan.She looked at the entrance of the alley for about ten seconds, and started walking straight forward when she couldn't find anyone.

Wang Manchun was about to step out to leave, but saw two people following in Yuan Yuan's direction.It was two members of Liang Zhongchun's action team.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows?she thought to herself.He rolled his eyes a few times, but still planned to ignore it for the time being.

Wang Manchun was at the newspaper office today, spending the whole day proofreading manuscripts.God knows why these writers have to write like flying dragons and phoenixes, it hurts her eyes just looking at it.It was finally time to get off work, and when I went downstairs, I saw Minglou's car.

Seemingly seeing her, Minglou got out of the car.His scarf was changed to black today, but his coat was changed to gray.This man, with his body in black, white and gray, is always the subject.Minglou walked to the side of the car, opened the door on one side, and made a gesture of invitation, and Wang Manchun was also happy to cooperate with him.Ignoring all kinds of joking voices behind him, he bowed and sat in.

The dinner was prepared very quickly, Ah Cheng was the chief surgeon, Wang Manchun was the second, and Minglou was sitting on the sofa with a newspaper waiting to eat.

Minglou and Acheng seem to be open to talking about the new government office and other things here.For example, they are discussing Won Won right now.

Wang Manchun put down the bowl and chopsticks, "So you sent the person following Yuan Yuan?"

"How do you know?" Minglou asked her.

"I went to the labor market this morning, and Yuan Yuan followed me." Wang Manchun frowned, "I got rid of her, and then saw two people from Liang Zhongchun follow her."

"So the man in black that Yuan Yuan followed this morning is you." Ah Cheng said, "What are you doing in the labor market?"

"Find a part-time job. I want to clean this apartment." After finishing speaking, he saw Ming Lou and Ah Cheng looking at him.Wang Manchun also realized that her reasoning was really unreliable, not to mention that she was about to marry Minglou and move out of this apartment, but just that she hid all kinds of secrets here, it was impossible for her to find someone to clean it up.

She spread her hands and said helplessly, "It's really not good to have too many intersections. I'm going to issue a meeting order, and a newcomer has arrived."

"Then why did Yuanyuan follow you?" Ah Cheng asked.

"I don't know either, I was followed as soon as I came out."

"Now it seems that my student is not easy. If she didn't see that the order is from her own, then she has doubts about you and is from the Japanese side." Minglou put down the tableware and leaned back to draw conclusions .

Ah Cheng denies the latter possibility in his heart, but has to admit its existence.

He has been sitting on the sofa since dinner, thinking about Yuan Yuan's question.In his heart, he didn't want to admit that his student might be a spy, but as Wang Manchun said, if the newcomer arrives in Shanghai, will it be Yuan Yuan?In Paris, List himself knew a little bit, and Yuan Yuan didn't even succeed in developing students.Unless something happened to him more than a year after he returned to China or he was a long-term lurker.

In the bedroom, Wang Manchun put on the wedding dress again. After modification, half sleeves with chain link were added to better show the slender arms.She stood in front of the full-length mirror, Minglou raised his head from the book to look at her.

"Very nice and fits well."

Wang Manchun looked back at him, walked up to him and sat down, "Do I have to wear this on the wedding day?"

Ming Lou nodded, "Wedding photos should be out soon, I'll ask Ah Cheng to pick them up tomorrow. You should start taking vacation in two days and prepare for the wedding."

"Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say, Commander Ming." She stood up again, "Go out, I'll change clothes."

Minglou put down the book and walked out of the bedroom.

eight pm.

Wang Manchun sat on the sofa, the radio was dialed to a specific channel, and it was not time to receive it, but it would be nice to have some music.But she heard the voice that the order was about to be issued.

"The riverside calls the seashore."

This is the beginning of a general call to Shanghai.She straightened up and sat down next to the radio. Although this was not the usual time, she needed to receive instructions.When the radio read two sets of numbers, she felt that something was wrong, because it was not her initial code.She concentrated on memorizing all the instructions, and when they translated them, it turned out to be a bunch of garbled characters, and her codebook couldn't match the current instructions.

She looked at the person who was still sitting on the sofa. There are only a few forces in Shanghai now. On her specific channel, if this order was not issued to her, it would only be Minglou.

She photographed the instruction in front of Minglou.

"Explain, what about your own radio station, why go my way."

Minglou put on an innocent look, "I have reported our situation to the higher authorities, and they probably think this way is safer. My radio station will only be responsible for military affairs in the future."

"As I said, we can't interact too much. Last time you called to ask Liu Zheng's identity, it was already against the rules."

"I can promise not to participate in your affairs, but I need to know the content of your mission. Only by working together can we complete the mission better. Your group has never been under my control, and you can spare the time to report the mission to me plan. Ah Cheng will be responsible for receiving it in the future.”

Wang Manchun endured his anger and said nothing.

Minglou smiled and looked at her for a long time, picked up the telegram, took out a book from the shelf, and frowned instantly after translating it.

"Cobra, the scholar is in crisis, please do your best to rescue them. At eight o'clock on Tuesday, the command time."

He asked Wang Manchun for an ashtray, "I will ask the people below to transport some scholars to a safe place."

"It's better to divide them into batches, and the interval should be longer. The Japanese don't care much about these scholars, but Wang Jingwei keeps a close eye on them." Wang Manchun thought about it, and it was really a difficult and long task.

"The longest-term task is that we are in Shanghai. This is also an additional task." Minglou opened the window to disperse the smoke and dust in the house, "with scholars, more people will learn knowledge, and there will be more Only when more people get rid of ignorant thoughts and truly make themselves an independent person can they serve the country and society better. Only then will the country become rich and powerful, and the society will become prosperous. This country needs Zhengda People who fight in the light need people who can kill enemies and lurk in the dark, and people who can cultivate talents. Therefore, no matter what the price is, we must send them out of Shanghai." He closed the window, poured two glasses of red wine, and poured a glass of red wine. Pass it to her.

He said: "Manchun, the war of resistance must be won."

Wang Manchun looked at him and blinked. She had never felt so deeply that they were fellow travelers and comrades who supported each other, and because of this, her heart was filled with excitement and joy.She felt the loneliness of fighting alone in her heart dissipated little by little.

She touched Ming Lou's cup, and said to him in the firmest tone: "The war of resistance must be won."

When I arrived at the newspaper office the next day, Xiao Li from the same office brought a copy of today's new Shanghai Daily.

Wang Manchun found her own article on the fourth page, which was an analysis of Shanghai's economic situation, which was very short and had no substantive content.She laughed at herself and thought that she was also very bureaucratic now.When she turned to the small news section stitched in the middle page, she couldn't help laughing.

It is notice of meeting cancellation.so fast.Her leave application has been approved, and her mission will be suspended for the time being. In this way, their meeting may only be moved to after the wedding.
