Chapter 1689 Little Cousin
"Comrade Li Yi was secretly arrested by the enemy." Comrade Red-crowned Crane said, "Comrade Wang Heqi, his direct liaison, was unable to contact Comrade Li Yi, and only then did he know that he was in trouble."
He said to Cao Yu, "Comrade Wang Heqi reported the information through secret channels. After Comrade Farmer learned of this situation, the telegram reached me two days later."
"It took several days from the time Comrade Wang Heqi discovered that he could not contact Comrade Li Yi to the time he reported this to the organization," Cao Yu asked immediately.
"Three days." Bao Rengui said, "According to the agreement, they will meet in three days, or pass by each other on the road. They have to make sure it's safe."
Cao Yu fell into deep thought.
Comrade Li Yi's code name is "Little Cousin". In addition, Comrade Li Yi has another very important identity. He used to be Cao Yu's direct liaison officer.
This is also the reason why everyone from Comrade 'Farmer' to Comrade 'Red-crowned Crane' were so nervous after learning that Comrade Li Yi was missing and arrested. Comrade 'Red-crowned Crane' had to rush from Shanghai to Nanjing immediately to warn Comrade 'Second Cousin' who was in Nanjing at that moment.
"Are you sure it was the Nanjing District of the Secret Service Headquarters that was behind this?" Cao Yu asked immediately.
"It is basically certain." Bao Rengui nodded, "However, the specific situation still needs to be verified."
"There is another situation." Bao Rengui said.
"You said."
"We have a comrade named Hang Kaiqing, who previously worked for Liang Hongzhi's reformist regime and later worked for the Wang Puppet regime." Bao Rengui said, "Just last month, Comrade Hang Kaiqing was exposed when he was trying to obtain a secret document from the enemy."
"I have some impression of this name. He was surrounded by spies from the Nanjing District of the Secret Service Headquarters and committed suicide." Cao Yu said with a serious expression.
"Yes." Bao Rengui nodded. "Comrade Hang Kaiqing was arranged by Comrade Xiangwu to infiltrate the enemy. He had been lurking in the Kuomintang government for a long time. Later, he was ordered to infiltrate Liang Hongzhi's reformist regime and became a traitor."
"Comrade 'Farmer' suspects that the enemy discovered the trace of 'little cousin' through investigating Comrade Hang Kaiqing." Bao Rengui said.
"Comrade Hang Kaiqing and Comrade Li Yi know each other?" Cao Yu asked immediately, "Have they ever had any horizontal contact?"
"Logically speaking, they should not know each other's identities. Both Comrade Hang Kaiqing and Comrade Li Yi are directly led by Comrade 'Farmer' and there will be no horizontal connection." Bao Rengui shook his head and said.
"Is it possible that they accidentally discovered each other's identities while working undercover, and then fought side by side?" Cao Yu asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know." Bao Rengui said, "Only the two comrades themselves know the actual situation."
After flicking the ash off his cigarette, Bao Rengui continued, "However, from the perspective of organizational discipline, if they discovered each other's identities, they should not have any contact, and should have reported this unexpected situation. However, Comrade Farmer did not receive any such report."
"Will something happen before we have enough time to report to Comrade Farmer?" Cao Yu said, frowning.
Comrade Bao Rengui shook his head slightly. This was not an answer, but he could not guess the situation.
……
"In other words, the sacrifice of Comrade Hang Kaiqing and the arrest of Comrade Li Yi are probably not isolated. We need to consider these two things comprehensively," Cao Yu said thoughtfully.
"That's the truth." Bao Rengui nodded.
"I understand." Cao Yu said, "I will try to find out the relevant situation inside the secret service headquarters."
"No, this is too dangerous." Bao Rengui said immediately, "You must evacuate immediately."
His expression was serious. "I came to Nanjing this time to inform you to evacuate immediately."
……
"I don't think the situation is serious enough to require evacuation," Cao Yu said. "First of all, I used the pseudonym Zhang Yang at the time, and Comrade Li Yi didn't know my real identity, which also means he didn't know that Cao Yu at No. 76 was Zhang Yang back then."
"Comrade Li Yi didn't know I was still in Shanghai. We hadn't met since he was assigned to Moscow," Cao Yu said. "As long as we didn't run into each other, objectively speaking, I was safe."
"It can be said that I am currently in a dark place, and there is no direct danger in secretly exploring the situation." Cao Yu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said.
"In addition, I believe in Comrade Li Yi's loyalty to the Red Army." Cao Yu said, "I am familiar with Comrade Li Yi and I have confidence in him. He is a trustworthy Bolshevik fighter!"
……
"The last reason is not valid." Bao Rengui said with a serious expression, "I am naturally willing to believe that Comrade 'little cousin' is loyal to the party, but the organization has iron discipline, which is an iron law forged in blood."
He looked at Cao Yu and said solemnly, "If I am arrested one day, you must evacuate immediately. I believe I have a strong body and can withstand the enemy's torture, but I dare not gamble, and neither can you."
"I still insist on my attitude. I can secretly find out the situation first." Cao Yu said. Seeing that Comrade Bao Rengui was about to speak, he immediately said, "Of course, if I find any signs of danger, I will evacuate immediately. Please rest assured about this."
Bao Rengui was silent.
……
"I was able to successfully infiltrate the secret service headquarters, which was not easy." Cao Yu said, "Not only the secret service headquarters, but also the relationship in Chongqing. My continued undercover work is very necessary for the cause of the war of resistance and the revolution."
"Have you decided?" Bao Rengui said.
"It's decided." A smile appeared on Cao Yu's face.
"How do you need me to cooperate with you?" Bao Rengui asked.
"There's no need for cooperation. It's safest for me to do things on my own." Cao Yu said.
"There is one more very important point." Cao Yu said solemnly, "After today, we cannot meet again."
He said to Bao Rengui, "I am staying at Yangjiang Hotel now. My room is next to the window. There is a crooked plane tree outside the window. It is easy to recognize."
"I usually hang a white shirt on the windowsill with a hanger at night and put it away during the day. If the white shirt is not there during the day, or if it is hung up before the lights are turned off at night, it means I am fine. If the white shirt is still there during the day, or if the white shirt is not there during the day but is still there at night, it means something has happened to me." Cao Yu said, "In this case, you must evacuate immediately and notify Comrade Yi Jun in Shanghai to prepare for the transfer."
……
Comrade Bao Rengui didn't say anything, just smoked silently.
After a while, he raised his head and looked deeply at Comrade Cao Yu, "You must take care of yourself."
"I won't win the war of resistance against Japan, the revolution has not succeeded, and I won't see the founding of New China. I won't be willing to sacrifice myself." Cao Yu smiled brightly.
He said without any hesitation, "Okay, without further ado, I'll leave now. After I leave, you should also quickly change your address."
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Two pairs of big hands clasped together tightly.
