Chapter 1609 Going to Nanjing
Haozi supported Brother Fan, who was obviously drunk, back to Cheng's house.
"Where is the madam?" Li Hao asked in a low voice when he saw the little maid Li Zi.
"My wife is upstairs." said Li Zi.
"Shh!" Cheng Qianfan burped, opened his eyes and looked at Li Zi, "Be quiet, don't let the wife hear."
"Don't let me hear anything." Bai Ruolan said as she carried Xiao Zhima downstairs.
"I'm going on a business trip this afternoon. Where did you drink this?" Bai Ruolan smelled the alcohol on Cheng Qianfan's body. She handed Xiao Zhima to Li Zi to hold and complained.
"Socializing, socializing." Cheng Qianfan said in a whisper.
"I'm socializing all day long. I'm going on a business trip and still have to socialize." Bai Ruolan said.
Then, she sniffed Cheng Qianfan's body, frowned, and saw the lipstick mark when she turned up his collar. She was immediately furious, "Well, I'm busy at home and I'm kind enough to help you pack your luggage. Which vixen have you been fooling around with?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Qianfan said unhappily, "Isn't this official business? I have some business to deal with here, and I had a few more drinks with my friends."
"Friend? It must be some shameless vixen." Bai Ruolan was furious. Seeing her husband still quibbling, she stomped her feet in anger, picked up her son from the maid, and went upstairs angrily.
……
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Yes, I am a villain, and also a woman, the most difficult to raise." Bai Ruolan's voice floated back from upstairs, followed by the sound of a door closing heavily.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of little Zhima crying in fear.
"Unreasonable! Shrew! Shrew!" Cheng Qianfan snorted angrily. He glanced at the little maid Li Zi and asked, "Is the bath water ready?"
"It's ready, sir," said Chestnut.
"I'm going to take a shower, change my clothes, and then leave for the dock in a while." Cheng Qianfan turned and said to Li Hao.
"Yes, Brother Fan." Li Hao helped Brother Fan upstairs.
"No, I can walk by myself." Cheng Qianfan said, "Call Haozi now and ask him to bring people over to meet me."
"I know, Brother Fan."
Half an hour later, Cheng Qianfan finished his shower and looked less drunk. He changed into a new suit, carried his briefcase and went downstairs. He looked upstairs again, but did not see Bai Ruolan coming out to see him off. His face darkened and he muttered "being unreasonable".
Then, he snorted and nodded to Haozi who had already joined him at Cheng's house, "Let's go."
Li Hao opened the car door, Cheng Qianfan got into the back seat, and Haozi sat in the passenger seat.
The other bodyguards who were going to follow Cheng Qianfan to Nanjing got on another car.
Two cars slowly drove away from Cheng Mansion.
In the master bedroom on the second floor, Bai Ruolan held her son with tears on his face. She gently patted the little boy and watched her husband's car go away until it was out of sight.
Her eyes were filled with worry, and she said, "May the Buddha bless my husband with everything going well and keep him safe and sound."
……
In late March in Shanghai, the cold weather was gradually fading and the streets were becoming more crowded.
Cheng Qianfan lifted the car curtain and looked outside. His eyes were deep and serious.
"After I leave, ask Zhou Ru to send a telegram to Boss Dai immediately." Cheng Qianfan lowered the car curtain and said with a serious expression, "It has been further confirmed from Ping Chongyangyi that the Japanese army is about to attack the northern Hubei defense line."
He deliberately got Ping Chongyangyi drunk with women and wine at noon just to get him to tell him something.
Heaven rewards those who work hard. Perhaps because of the deal and the fact that they made money together, Ping Chongyang regarded him as a "real friend" at first. Ping Chongyang, who let down his guard, inadvertently leaked the information.
"I understand." Li Hao nodded.
"The Japanese radio wave detection equipment is still very powerful. You can drive Zhou Ru for a ride and send messages in the car." Cheng Qianfan reminded.
Although Sanjiro was dead and the Special High Section was in chaos, from what he knew, the chaos had not affected the Special High Section's Telecommunications Research Laboratory.
And because there is no one in charge of the Telecommunications Research Laboratory now, this relaxed working environment has made Nohara Ken'er feel like a fish in water. This guy has been staying in the Telecommunications Research Laboratory recently and has been very busy.
Especially at such moments, Zhou Ru had to be more cautious when sending the message.
"Understood, Brother Fan." Li Hao nodded, "We will pay attention."
……
"Also, you and Taozi should arrange for Chief Song and Sheng Shuyu to leave Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan said, "There are many people leaving Shanghai this time, so you must be extra careful."
"clear."
"Afterwards, the Special Affairs Department entered a dormant state. No one is allowed to take any action without my order." Cheng Qianfan said.
As he spoke, he thought for a moment and added, "However, if there is an emergency, everything will depend on Taozi's temporary handling."
"Yes."
"Where are Shen Xi and the others now?"
"In safe house number three, Shen Xi brought four people back. One of them died for his country, and another was injured."
"Properly place the injured brothers and keep them hidden." Cheng Qianfan flexed his fingers and said, "Let Shen Xi stay in the safe house for a few more days. When the situation calms down, arrange for them to join Jiang Mule's special forces."
"Aren't you going to join the Loyal and Patriotic Army?" Li Hao asked in surprise.
"Not going." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
According to what Shen Xi reported to Taozi, the situation of the Kunshan Loyal and Patriotic Army was not good. Morale was low and the internal situation was unstable. We should try to reduce contact with these guys as much as possible.
And after this period of observation, Shen Xi has begun to slowly integrate and gained his further trust.
……
"The new commander of the Special High Section, Arao Chihiro, may arrive in Shanghai in the near future. This guy comes from a family of Japanese spies." Cheng Qianfan pondered, "Tell Taozi to be careful and don't let the enemy catch us."
Although he had never come into contact with Arao Tomohiro, and when he had come into contact with Araki Harima, he had expressed a lot of contempt for this young master Arao, but in his heart, Cheng Qianfan was highly wary of Arao Tomohiro.
"I understand, Brother Fan."
"Brother Fan." Haozi, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, suddenly said, "Arao Chihiro is new here, do you want to arrange for the brothers to kill this little Japanese, and then we can put the blame on Araki Harima."
Cheng Qianfan pressed his temple and thought.
There is a certain temptation in Haozi's suggestion.
"No." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Not to mention that Sanji Jiro was just killed, the enemy must be extra careful to protect Arao Chihiro. Let me just say one thing, keeping Arao Chihiro alive is more beneficial to the current situation than letting him die."
Araki Harima failed in his attempt to become the chief of the Special High Police, and he was very unwilling to accept this, so he let Araki Harima and Arao Tomohiro fight secretly, which made it easier for him to fish in troubled waters.
In addition, even if Arao Tomohiro was killed, it would only anger the Japanese, and it would "involve" Araki Harima. If the Japanese took down Araki Harima, their "good friend", in anger, he would lose his ally within the Special High Police, which would be detrimental to his undercover work within the Special High Police.
……
The dock was under martial law, and when the Japanese military police saw Cheng Qianfan's convoy, they immediately came up to check.
Li Hao got out of the car and was negotiating with the military police when a man in a Zhongshan suit came running over.
"Is Mr. Cheng in the car?"
"Brother Yu Qi." Cheng Qianfan rolled down the window and greeted the man, "Has the Secretary General arrived?"
"The Secretary General is at the train station," Dai Mingyu said. He leaned over the window and whispered to Cheng Qianfan, "Mr. Wang will not take the sea route, but will take the train to Nanjing. The Secretary General has specially ordered me to inform Secretary Cheng here."
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Brother Yu Qi, go ahead, we'll go to the train station now."
The convoy left the dock and sped towards the Shanghai Railway Station.
Cheng Qianfan's face darkened and he shook his head slightly.
Wang Tianhai was frightened by the assassination attempt by the Military Control Commission, so he deliberately released the news in advance that he would take the water route to Nanjing, pretending to build a plank road but secretly marching through Chencang.
It has to be said that Wang Tianhai’s move was successful.
Cheng Qianfan had previously sent information to Chongqing that Wang Tianhai's team was going to Nanjing by ship. He guessed that Boss Dai had already arranged people to take action on the ship.
Now that Wang has changed to the train, this really means that our side has come to nothing.
……
The Shanghai Railway Station is heavily guarded, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.
Cheng Qianfan sneered in his heart as he looked at the Japanese soldiers standing guard with spears and bayonets.
The leader of the "new regime" returned to Nanjing, but all he saw was Japanese soldiers. It was ridiculous.
"Secretary General." Cheng Qianfan said when he saw Chu Mingyu.
"Have you been drinking?" Chu Mingyu glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said with a frown.
"Ping Chongyang went to Nanjing to prepare for my departure as soon as he learned that I was leaving Shanghai for Nanjing." Cheng Qianfan said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Chu Mingyu nodded and said nothing more.
The Japanese did a good job of superficially preparing for the Wang regime's return to Nanjing.
A number of Japanese generals, including Yingzuo Zhenzhao of the Mei Agency and Jun'ichiro Ikeuchi, the commander of the Shanghai Military Police, came to the train station to see Wang Tianhai off.
In addition, the Japanese army specially arranged a "Junma" train for Wang's trip to Nanjing. The train was decorated with colorful flags, making it very lively.
Haozi took his bodyguards to the carriage to escort the entourage, while Cheng Qianfan was arranged in the box with Liu Xia and others.
Liu Xia brought some candied fruits and melon seeds, and was drinking tea and having some snacks. She was so happy, as if she was on a spring outing.
Cheng Qianfan picked up a plum and said, "Sister Xia really knows how to enjoy herself."
"Virtue, you can't stop talking even if you have something to eat." Liu Xia rolled her eyes at Cheng Qianfan.
……
At this moment, several people also came to the box.
"Secretary Pei." Cheng Qianfan greeted Pei Zhicun.
This assistant who was recommended to Chen Chunpu by Mi Wenqin now has Chen Chunpu's trust and has become a popular figure in front of Chen Chunpu.
"Secretary Cheng." Pei Zhicun was also very happy to see Cheng Qianfan, "I also want to thank Secretary Cheng for the generous gift last time."
Chen Chunpu bought a new house in Shanghai some time ago, and Cheng Qianfan sent someone to deliver a housewarming gift.
"As you should." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "Secretary Pei, please sit here."
"I hope I didn't disturb you two." Pei Zhicun was also a wonderful person. He glanced at Liu Xia and smiled.
"You want to be beaten." Liu Xia pretended to be angry and took a handful of melon seeds and preserved fruits towards herself, "You have nothing to eat."
Cheng Qianfan and Pei Zhicun looked at each other and both laughed.
……
Pei Zhicun was also happy to make friends with Cheng Qianfan, a popular figure in front of Chu Mingyu.
The two men were of similar age and had a great conversation.
"I haven't congratulated Secretary Cheng yet." Pei Zhicun smiled and said, "Well, I should congratulate General Cheng."
"I am ashamed, ashamed." Cheng Qianfan said, "Qianfan's contribution is nothing but the favor of the elders."
"Secretary Cheng is too modest. I often hear Mr. Chen mention Secretary Cheng, and even Mr. Wang praises Secretary Cheng highly." Pei Zhicun said.
"Mr. Mi is a talent that Mr. Wang admires. Mr. Mi often tells people that Secretary Pei is his most proud student." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "The fact that Mr. Mi, a national scholar, has praised Secretary Pei so much shows how extraordinary he is."
"Okay, you two stop flattering each other." Liu Xia said with a chuckle, "It's making my teeth sore."
"Eat your preserved fruit." Cheng Qianfan said to Liu Xia unhappily.
Pei Zhicun smiled slightly. He had heard that Liu Xia, the two most trusted subordinates of Chu Mingyu, had a close relationship with Cheng Qianfan. Now it seemed that the relationship between the two was even closer than he knew.
"Excuse me, both of you." Pei Zhicun stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Secretary Pei, please do as you please."
……
Pei Zhicun went to the bathroom, washed his face, then stood outside the bathroom, lit a cigarette, and looked at the scenery outside the train boredly.
A train attendant passed by with a tray of drinks.
"Give me a glass of red wine." Pei Zhicun said.
The waiter handed Pei Zhicun a glass of red wine, came forward, and whispered, "Wang Tianhai's box is heavily guarded, I can't get in at all."
"I've said it before, this method won't work." Pei Zhicun took a sip of red wine and whispered, "Don't act rashly."
He looked around, "This is an order."
"Yes!"
Pei Zhicun held up the red wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, put the red wine glass on the tray, and returned to his seat leisurely.
……
The train had just passed Zhenjiang when it suddenly stopped.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Wan Haiyang and a group of people patrolling the carriages, and couldn't help but frowned.
"It seems something has happened." Cheng Qianfan whispered to Liu Xia and Pei Zhicun.
"Who is that person?" Pei Zhicun asked.
"Wan Haiyang from the Secret Service Headquarters." Cheng Qianfan said.
When Pei Zhicun heard that it was someone from the Secret Service Headquarters, a look of disgust appeared on his face.
"Secretary Pei doesn't seem to like people like them?" Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang's peaceful efforts to save the country are upright, but this group of people have created chaos and caused public resentment." Pei Zhicun said with a cold snort.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures." Cheng Qianfan said. He looked at the backs of Wan Haiyang and the others as they left, and lowered his voice to say to Pei Zhicun, "Secretary Pei, be careful with your words."
Pei Zhicun nodded.
Cheng Qianfan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and his vigilance towards Pei Zhicun was slightly reduced.
This person shows his emotions on his face. He is a typical intellectual and doesn't seem to have much cunning.
Of course, he did not completely lower his guard in his heart. Nowadays, everyone has several faces. How could someone who is valued by Chen Chunpu be so superficial?
