Chapter 1380 Qiqiao Flower
The weather in Chongqing is gloomy and unpredictable. In late winter, there is continuous fog and heavy rain.
This is a rare good day. There is no fog, and even the clouds are very light. It looks like it will be sunny soon.
Early in the morning, two black Ford cars drove through the complicated and headache-inducing streets of Chongqing City, passed through numerous checkpoints, and stopped at the door of Huangshan Villa in the suburbs.
In the car in front, Sheng Shuyu got out first, then ran to the car behind and opened the door.
Dai Chunfeng got off the car with a tired look on his face.
An officer from the attendant room came forward and said, "Deputy Director Dai, the chairman is still resting. Please wait a moment."
Dai Chunfeng nodded and looked up at the sky. For Chongqing, this was rare good weather.
After waiting in the living room for about a quarter of an hour, Dai Chunfeng began to look at his watch. Finally, he could not wait any longer and reached out to take the briefcase handed over by Sheng Shuyu. Then Dai Chunfeng took out an envelope sealed with wax and handed it to the attendant, "Please check if the principal has gotten up. Please present it."
"Yes!" The attendant took the envelope with both hands and left in a hurry.
Five minutes later, when Dai Chunfeng arrived at the reception room, the curtains were drawn and the lights were on.
Chiang Kai-shek, dressed in a long gown, was fiddling with the globe on the table. When he saw Dai Chunfeng coming in, he couldn't wait to ask, "Is the news confirmed?"
"The information was transmitted by Mr. Du Yongsheng from Hong Kong Island," Dai Chunfeng said. "Students have arranged for Qiqiaohua to contact Tao Huizong, who clearly expressed his willingness to return to the right path."
"Where is Gao Qingwu?" Chiang Kai-shek asked again.
"Gao Qingwu is the same." Dai Chunfeng said, "Qiqiaohua sent a secret message, saying that Tao and Gao are willing to return to China with the traitorous treaty signed by Wang Jingwei and the Japanese."
"Is that true?" Chiang Kai-shek asked excitedly.
"'Qiqiao Flower' has been confirmed." Dai Chunfeng nodded.
When Dai Chunfeng learned from Du Yongsheng that Gao Qingwu and Tao Huizong were willing to abandon Wang Tianhai and return to Chongqing, he was overjoyed.
If these two Wang's generals can be persuaded to return, it will be the biggest success of the Military Control Commission in the 29th year of the Republic of China.
Dai Chunfeng attached great importance to this. He even ordered "Qi Qiaohua", one of the two most important strategic-level agents of the Military Control Commission in Shanghai, to contact Tao Huizong directly.
The information that was fed back now made Dai Chunfeng very excited.
Tao Huizong and Gao Qingwu were not only willing to turn from darkness to light, they also expressed their willingness to steal the traitorous treaty signed between Wang Tianhai and the Japanese as a ransom.
"Very good, very good." Chiang Kai-shek was very happy. He looked at Dai Chunfeng and his voice was full of excitement. "I knew that you, this student, are capable."
"We must ensure the safety of Tao and Gao, and make sure the two gentlemen return with the scroll."
"Yes." Dai Chunfeng quickly stated, "Students will make careful arrangements and make this happen at all costs."
……
No. 19, Luojiawan.
After returning from Huangshan Mansion, Dai Chunfeng called Qi Wu and Yu Ping'an to his office to discuss this important matter in secret.
"Tao and Gao..." Yu Ping'an had just learned from Dai Chunfeng that Tao Huizong and Gao Qingwu had actually contacted Chongqing and were interested in returning. However, he had some doubts about this. "Is this a trick?"
"The possibility is extremely low." Dai Chunfeng said, "According to the information we have so far, Mr. Tao Huizong and Mr. Gao Qingwu both returned sincerely."
After meeting Tao Huizong, Qiqiaohua learned an important fact from him.
On the last day of last year, Wang Tianhai convened a so-called "cadre meeting" to review the "Outline for Adjusting New Japan-China Relations" and its annexes, and asked the participants to sign the secret agreement.
As a result, Tao Huizong pretended to be ill and did not attend the meeting, and Gao Qingwu also found an excuse to withdraw from the signing ceremony. Only Wang Tianhai, Zhou Liang and others signed.
It was also from this telegram from "Qiqiaohua" that Dai Chunfeng officially confirmed that the traitorous treaty signed between Wang Tianhai and the Japanese was named "Outline for the Adjustment of New Relations between Japan and China."
Yu Ping'an glanced at Dai Chunfeng and noticed that Dai Chunfeng addressed Tao Huizong and Gao Qingwu differently than before.
This also shocked Yu Ping'an. He knew Dai Chunfeng. Dai Chunfeng was a very cautious person. The change in the way Dai Chunfeng addressed Tao and Gao showed that Dai Chunfeng was indeed sure that these two people were returning sincerely and not cheating.
"If Tao and Gao cheat, they are not playing tricks on us, but playing tricks on the chairman," Qi Wu said. "They dare not."
Dai Chunfeng would certainly report such a major event to Chiang Kai-shek, and if this was a trick, it is conceivable that this was also a mockery of Chiang Kai-shek.
Tao and Gao are not crazy, so they would not do such a thing.
"There are two key issues now." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "One is whether Tao and Gao can successfully steal the secret agreement."
He looked at Qi Wu and Yu Ping'an and said with a serious expression, "Another point is how they managed to leave Shanghai successfully while carrying the secret agreement."
"Neither Mr. Tao Huizong nor Mr. Gao Qingwu are professionals," Yu Ping'an said. "It's probably not easy to steal such confidential documents."
"This is indeed the most important first step." Qi Wu also nodded and said, he looked at Dai Chunfeng, "Director, do we need to notify Shanghai for assistance?"
"Qi Qiaohua" is an absolutely strategic-level agent. Her meeting with Tao Huizong is already very dangerous, and she must not participate in stealing intelligence. Of course, the most fundamental reason is that such a direct action mission is not suitable for "Qi Qiaohua".
Dai Chunfeng didn't say anything, he was in deep thought.
What Qi Wu said was exactly what Dai Chunfeng was hesitating about.
If Shanghai could send someone to help...
"Chen Gongshu..." Yu Ping'an said.
"No." Qi Wu said immediately. He paused for a moment, and finally said, "The Shanghai District has good operational capabilities, but they can't do such detailed work."
"Then we can only arrange for Xiao Mian's special affairs department..." Yu Ping'an frowned and said thoughtfully.
Dai Chunfeng also frowned, and he subconsciously opposed, or rather rejected, this choice.
Because of this matter, he has already signaled one of his two strategic-level agents, "Qi Qiaohua", to contact Tao Huizong. If Cheng Qianfan is arranged to contact the other party, or even directly participate in the action of stealing the secret agreement, once the matter is exposed, the two strategic-level trump cards in his hand will be destroyed.
However, if Tao Huizong and Gao Qingwu, the two generals of the Wang family, could really bring back the secret agreement between the Wang family and the Japanese, it would be a huge achievement. How could Dai Chunfeng not be tempted?
"Not appropriate." Qi Wu shook his head. He saw Dai Chunfeng and Yu Ping'an looking at him and said, "This kind of stealing of secret agreements is very secretive. Not to mention that it is so confidential that only insiders can access it. Even if outsiders assist, it will not only not provide more help, but will even backfire and increase the chance of being exposed."
After hearing this, Yu Ping'an thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree with Director Qi's point of view."
He said to Dai Chunfeng, and after a brief pause, he frowned and asked, "Director, what do you say over there at 'Qiqiaohua'?"
"'Qiqiao Flower'." Dai Chunfeng said thoughtfully, "She has always been a cautious person and will not express her personal opinion on this matter."
"However," Dai Chunfeng continued, "she is also a good person. Tao Huizong and Gao Qingwu seem to be 'quite confident' about obtaining the secret agreement."
"In this case, I believe that we should respect the opinions of our comrades on the front line," said Yu Ping'an.
Qi Wu glanced at Yu Ping'an. Dai Chunfeng had clearly said before that 'Qi Qiao Hua' was very cautious and never expressed personal opinions. The call was just a relay of 'Tao Huizong's' words.
But now in Yu Ping'an's mouth, this has become the opinion of "Qiqiaohua".
Of course, it was just a glance, and Qi Wu had no intention of correcting Yu Ping'an's statement.
Yu Ping'an and Qi Wu both looked at Dai Chunfeng. At most, the two of them expressed some opinions and views for Dai Chunfeng to refer to. The real decision was made by Dai Chunfeng himself.
"There is no need to interfere with Mr. Tao Huizong and Mr. Gao Qingwu's activities of hunting for intelligence." Dai Chunfeng thought about it again and again, and finally made the decision not to interfere.
Just as Yu Ping'an and Qi Wu said, only insiders can access such confidential treaties. Others cannot touch them at all. Even if they want to assist, they are powerless. If they force assistance, it will backfire.
……
"Okay, now I assume that Mr. Tao Huizong and Mr. Gao Qingwu can successfully obtain the secret agreement between Wang and the Japanese." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "How can we escort them and the documents to successfully leave Shanghai?"
Yu Ping'an and Qi Wu were both cheered up. They both knew that this was the most important step!
"First, we need to decide on the means of transportation to leave Shanghai. Is it by plane or train?" Yu Ping'an asked, "or by water?"
"What's the route to leave?" Qi Wu asked, "Go directly back to Chongqing, or go to Hong Kong?"
Qi Wu's question was more direct.
"Go back to Chongqing via Hong Kong." Dai Chunfeng said.
"Let's fly."
"Ship!"
Yu Ping'an and Qi Wu thought for a moment and said it almost at the same time.
The one who said "plane" was Yu Ping'an, and the one who said "ship" was Qi Wu.
Dai Chunfeng glanced at Yu Ping'an and Qi Wu, and suddenly smiled.
Yu Ping'an had the experience of secretly taking a passenger ship from Hong Kong to Shanghai, while Qi Wu had the experience of flying from Hong Kong to Shanghai via Guangzhou.
Now, both of them who have had personal experience gave a different answer, and did not mention their own valuable experience.
Of course, recommending other modes of transportation may actually reflect the two people's experience.
"No matter which method you use to leave Shanghai, the important thing is to leave successfully," Dai Chunfeng said thoughtfully.
Qi Wu and Yu Ping'an both nodded.
Just at this time, there was a knock on Dai Chunfeng's office door.
Qi Wu glanced at Dai Chunfeng, and when he saw Dai Chunfeng nod, he walked quietly to the door and suddenly opened it.
Standing at the door was Mao Shun. He was being stared at by three pairs of eyes: Dai Chunfeng, Qi Wu, and Yu Ping'an. He couldn't help but feel a little numb on his scalp.
"Sir, urgent message." Mao Shun said.
Qi Wu took the blue iron folder from Mao Shun's hand, and just took a look at it. His heart moved, but his face remained calm and he waved his hand.
……
Mao Shun quickly closed the door and left.
Qi Wu then handed the folder to Dai Chunfeng and said with a serious expression, "Director, there is an urgent telegram from Qiqiaohua."
"Translate the message." Dai Chunfeng said immediately.
After a moment, Qi Wu translated the message. He just took a look at it and was stunned. Then he was ecstatic, "Director, great joy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the telegram was snatched away by Dai Chunfeng.
It is indeed a great joy, a huge happy event.
"Qiqiaohua" sent a secret telegram, saying that Tao Huizong had contacted her secretly and told her that he and Gao Qingwu had successfully obtained the traitorous treaty signed by Wang Tianhai and the Japanese and the "Outline for the Adjustment of New Relations between Japan and China" last night.
"Great." Yu Ping'an took the telegram from Dai Chunfeng, looked down, and said happily, "The secret agreement is in hand. We have taken the most crucial step!"
Dai Chunfeng and Qi Wu both nodded. The most crucial step had been taken, and then came the most important last step:
How to leave Shanghai safely?
"Qiqiaohua" said in the telegram that Gao Qingwu and Tao Huizong were both generals under Wang, and they were both highly watched. It was even possible that the Japanese or No. 76 were secretly monitoring them.
"I agree with Qiqiaohua's judgment," Qi Wu said. "The Japanese are also very wary of Wang's people. As for Wang Tianhai, he looks elegant, but he is actually suspicious and fickle. We cannot rule out the possibility that his men are secretly monitoring us."
"So, the key now is how to leave Shanghai?" Yu Ping'an said, "And how to leave Shanghai without anyone noticing under the close surveillance of the enemy."
"This is difficult." Qi Wu said, his expression was very serious. He thought about it, and suddenly looked at Dai Chunfeng and said, "Commander, there are not many people in Shanghai who have the ability to escort people out of Shanghai under the noses of the Japanese without anyone noticing."
He suddenly smiled and said, "Fortunately, we have such a person."
"Let's find Xiao Mian." Yu Ping'an also said.
Dai Chunfeng thought for a moment, then nodded and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Tao and Mr. Gao, who have obtained the secret agreement, deserve to take an adventure."
An adventure indeed.
No matter how powerful Cheng Qianfan was in the French Concession, no matter how confident he was in completing this mission, this was an adventure in itself.
The disappearance of Gao Qingwu and Tao Huizong would have caused turmoil in the entire Shanghai and aroused the anger of the Wang family and the Japanese.
Under such circumstances, anyone who came into contact with Gao Qingwu and Tao Huizong might be exposed by the enemy's frantic investigation.
Although this is risky, the chance of exposure is actually very small.
However, for undercover agents, they must be extremely vigilant when facing even the slightest danger.
Because the probability of 0.01 percent and 95 percent are almost the same, there is no difference.
However, as Dai Chunfeng said, Tao Huizong and Gao Qingwu, as well as the "Outline for the New Adjustment of Japan-China Relations" they obtained, were worth the last risk.
