Grand Jiangnan Hotel.
"Great, great!" Fu Liao took the telegram from Zhou Hanwen, read it, and said happily.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
With District Chief Chen Gongshu arrested and defected to the enemy, and Intelligence Director Zhao Qi also arrested, and the losses of various units unknown, District Secretary Cen Yufeng's return to take charge is the best option under the current circumstances.
Zhou Hanwen glanced at Fu Liao, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.
"Speak your mind," Fu Liao said, glaring at Zhou Hanwen.
Zhou Hanwen glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "Third Brother, Commander Cen is back. Your word doesn't carry weight in the Shanghai region anymore..."
Fu Liao gave Zhou Hanwen a deep look, then flicked Zhou Hanwen on the forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
He looked at Zhou Hanwen with a serious expression, "You must not say such things again. I will pretend I did not hear it this time."
Seeing Zhou Hanwen nod hurriedly, Fu Liao flicked the ash from his cigarette and said seriously, "I originally intended to study mechanical science to save the country. However, the Japanese invaded our land and killed our compatriots. At this critical moment for the survival of China, I abandoned my pen for the sword and was willing to sacrifice my life for my country."
……
He handed a cigarette to Zhou Hanwen, and seeing Zhou Hanwen awkwardly light it, he laughed and scolded, "It's rare that you don't know how to smoke, but that's a good thing."
"Becoming a marquis is not my ambition; I only wish for the success of the war against Japan." He patted Zhou Hanwen on the shoulder. "After the war is won, I will study tractors. My biggest dream is to see tractors made in my own country..."
Zhou Hanwen looked at his third brother and saw that his eyes were shining and his lips were smiling hopefully when his third brother said these words.
Third Brother was an outstanding student in the senior mechanical engineering department of Shanghai Zhonghua Vocational School. After the outbreak of the full-scale War of Resistance against Japan, he interrupted his studies and chose to join the army. He entered the second training class of the special police class of the Central Police Academy and embarked on the road of resisting Japan and saving the country. Later, he joined the special service department of the Lixingshe.
……
“Lord Qu, no, no, no, it’s Chen Gongshu. Has he really betrayed us?” Cen Yufeng looked at the ‘Three Leprosy’ and couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes, it has been confirmed through multiple intelligence sources." Lu Liu nodded. "Chen Gongshu has indeed defected to the enemy."
"Foolish, foolish!" Cen Yufeng lamented, "We have forgotten our ancestors and brought shame upon them."
"Boss Dai has telegraphed Commander Cen, requesting him to return to the Shanghai area to oversee the overall situation," Lu Liu said. "The transportation station that Commander Cen mentioned last time, which could contact Chen Gongshu, now appears to be absolutely unreachable."
Cen Yufeng nodded.
"The Shanghai region has suffered heavy losses; various units have either been damaged or hastily evacuated," Lu Liu said. "Commander Cen, do you have any way to contact your subordinates?"
“Your intelligence is quite accurate. I want to know if Fu Liao was among those arrested in the Shanghai area?” Cen Yufeng asked after thinking for a moment.
……
“I can only answer that I don’t know. At the very least, this person is not on the arrest list we have,” Lu Liu said with a serious expression. “However, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people were secretly arrested by the enemy, and that this part of the list is not in our possession.”
“I understand.” Cen Yufeng nodded, then he suddenly thought of something, “Since it was Boss Dai who ordered me to return to the Shanghai region to take charge of the overall situation, it means that Chongqing should still be in contact with the Shanghai region, which means that Fu Liao is fine.”
"Does Fu Liao control the radio station in the Shanghai area?" Lu Liu glanced at Cen Yufeng and asked.
“‘Sanlai,’ you’re very clever.” Cen Yufeng looked at ‘Sanlai’ and said with a smile, “Want to come to the Shanghai area with me?”
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you agree, I can ask Boss Dai for the people directly," Cen Yufeng said.
"Commander Cen, I'll pretend I didn't hear that, and please don't bring it up again," Lu Liu said irritably.
He had already received Hao Ge's orders to arrange for Cen Yufeng to be escorted back to the Shanghai area. After that, he and his team members would have to go to the Special Operations Department's Nanjing station.
Cen Yufeng had met with them; for safety reasons, they had to be temporarily transferred away from Shanghai.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and one of the brothers came in and handed Lu Liu a note.
Lu Liu read the note, then immediately struck a match to destroy the evidence.
……
“Orders from above,” Lu Liu said, “we are responsible for safely transferring Commander Cen to the Shuanglongfang Apartment on Father Jin’s Road. The rest will be handled by the brothers from the Shanghai district.”
"Thank you." Cen Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that the Special Affairs Department and the Shanghai area must have made contact and agreed on a method for transferring him.
Suddenly, Cen Yufeng shook his head. No wonder he felt something was off when he first heard it; it was similar to the method of transferring prisoners.
……
The next day.
The French Concession Central District, Rue de la Paix, Shuanglongfang Apartments.
Lu Liu placed a small cloth bag on the table.
"Commander Cen, this is something our section chief asked me to give you," Lu Liu said.
Cen Yufeng took it and looked at it. It contained ten small yellow croakers and five thousand legal tender.
“This…” Cen Yufeng looked excited and quickly said, “Please convey my gratitude to General Xiao for me.”
He clasped his hands and said, "It is truly my and my brothers' good fortune to be able to fight alongside General Xiao and the brothers of the Special Affairs Department as comrades in the Military Intelligence Bureau against the Japanese invaders on the banks of the Huangpu River."
He already knew that with Yao Changgen's defection to the enemy, the Shanghai region's funds had been in crisis, and the hasty evacuation of various units might have left them all penniless.
At this time, the ten small yellow croakers and five thousand legal tender coins gifted by General Xiao Mian were absolutely a godsend.
Thinking of the many complaints the Shanghai authorities had about the Special Affairs Department, and even the hostility they showed within the upper echelons, Cen Yufeng felt quite ashamed at this moment, as he himself had not been immune to such sentiments.
……
“Commander Cen’s words will be conveyed by ‘Sanlai’.” Lu Liu saluted Cen Yufeng with a solemn expression.
He then placed a Mauser pistol on the table, and after thinking for a moment, added a magazine to the table as well.
"Take care, Commander Cen," Lu Liu said.
"Okay, take care." Cen Yufeng nodded solemnly and said, "After the war is won, I'll treat you to a drink to thank you for saving my life."
"Commander Cen, is victory in the War of Resistance certain?" Lu Liu suddenly stopped and asked.
“Yes, we definitely can.” Cen Yufeng’s expression was extremely serious. “If it doesn’t work in ten years, then it will take twenty or thirty years. As long as the Chinese people are not all dead, we will continue to fight until the victory of the War of Resistance.”
"Let's not take that long," Lu Liu said, shaking his head.
Cen Yufeng looked at 'Three Leprosy'.
“If it’s going to be people dying, then let us die instead,” Lu Liu laughed and said. “The children shouldn’t suffer like this.”
……
Lu Liu led his men to evacuate.
However, they did not completely evacuate.
They kept a close watch and confirmed that the people from the Shanghai area appeared at the Shuanglongfang Apartment in the agreed-upon attire and successfully picked up Cen Yufeng before quietly leaving.
"Are you sure Cen Yufeng has left safely?" Haozai asked after secretly meeting with Lu Liu.
"It's confirmed. The guest room window is open, and there's a red rope tied to a bamboo pole," Lu Liu said.
This is a safety code to prevent any accidents. Only Cen Yufeng knows it. If he confirms that the person coming is a brother from the Shanghai area who is here to pick him up, Cen Yufeng will tie a red rope to a bamboo pole outside the window after confirming that there is no mistake.
The agreed-upon attire was merely to facilitate covert confirmation by the Special Affairs Department; this served as the first line of security.
This red rope is the second safety lock.
Both are indispensable.
……
"The Chief is indeed remarkable," Lu Liu exclaimed with genuine admiration. "With this two-pronged approach, no one can fool us."
“That’s a section chief,” Hao Zai said with a smile.
He looked at Lu Liu, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "There are boat tickets and some money on the table. Take your brothers and leave immediately."
"Understood." Lu Liu picked up the boat ticket, looked at it, and nodded.
"Take care when you get to Nanjing." Haozai patted Lu Liu on the shoulder. "The situation in Nanjing is also very serious, so be extra careful."
"Yes." He looked at the captain, and before parting, he gave the captain a solemn salute. "Captain, victory in the War of Resistance is certain."
"Victory in the War of Resistance is certain!" Haozai looked at Lu Liu, returned a military salute with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice.
He could sense the oppression, or rather the heaviness, in Lu Liu's heart, as well as his indomitable fighting spirit.
As the Japanese swept across Southeast Asia, traitorous newspapers wildly touted that "the Great Japanese Empire will sweep everything away and will surely conquer the world," frantically cheering for their allies.
In this atmosphere of fanatical Japanese fervor, the overwhelming public opinion that the Japanese were invincible created immense pressure on the brothers.
In Fan Ge's words, some brothers had become incredibly pessimistic, believing that the war of resistance would not succeed. The reason these pessimistic brothers persisted in the war and did not give up was simply because they were unwilling to become slaves of a conquered nation.
I died fighting for the resistance. When I died, the country was not destroyed, so I was not a slave of a conquered nation!

Inside a black Ford sedan.
"Commander Cen." Fu Liao excitedly grasped Cen Yufeng's hands. "You're alright, that's wonderful."
"I was overjoyed to receive Boss Dai's telegram informing me that Commander Cen was safe and able to return to take charge of the overall situation," Fu Liao said happily.
"I'm relieved to see you're alright," Cen Yufeng nodded and said with a smile.
"What's the situation in the Shanghai area right now?" He asked Fu Liao with a serious expression, his smile fading.
Fu Liao also had a serious expression and reported the current situation of the district to Cen Yufeng in a low voice.
"In other words, Yao Changgen's family was arrested, Zhao Qi was arrested, and the district chief was arrested and defected to the enemy," Cen Yufeng said. "In addition, the district government's second office was captured, and there was also an intelligence point and two transportation stations that could no longer be contacted."
“Yes, Commander Cen.” Fu Liao nodded. “The situation is very serious.”
As he spoke, he quickly added, "However, this is much better than my most pessimistic estimate."
"We have to thank General Xiao Mian for this," Cen Yufeng said with emotion.
"Commander Cen, are you saying that the person who called to warn us was indeed from the Special Affairs Division?" Fu Liao immediately understood the meaning of this and couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Cen Yufeng nod, Fu Liao's previous guess was confirmed. He couldn't help but sigh, the Shanghai District now owed the Special Affairs Department a huge favor.
……
"Accountant Yao is dead?" Fu Liao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, gritting his teeth as he said, "She deserved to die! Good riddance!"
At the same time, he felt a wave of fear. If the Special Intelligence Division hadn't discovered Yao Changgen's arrest and defection in time, killed him, and stolen the house rental contract, the Shanghai area would probably have been wiped out by the enemy by now.
"Have you made contact with Commander Yu yet?" Cen Yufeng asked.
Upon meeting Fu Liao, he learned from Fu Liao that Yu Ping'an was actually heading towards Shanghai, and that Boss Dai had already telegraphed the Shanghai region, instructing Fu Liao to relay the order:
During his brief stay in Shanghai, Yu Ping'an, in his capacity as special envoy, was in charge of the reconstruction of the Shanghai area. Although Cen Yufeng was in charge of the overall work of the Shanghai area as secretary, he had to temporarily accept Yu Ping'an's leadership.
Cen Yufeng had no complaints about this.
He was aware of his physical condition; although he had recovered over this period, it was still very bad.
Given the current chaotic situation in the Shanghai area, he feared he might not be able to handle it all, and he was happy to have Yu Ping'an, the acting leader, in charge.
Putting everything else aside, with Yu Ping'an, a superior from Chongqing, leading the way, the Shanghai region's requests for personnel, weapons, and funds from Chongqing would inevitably be cheaper.
……
“No.” Fu Liao shook his head. “The call from Chongqing said that Commander Yu’s radio battery has run out of power.”
"Arrange for quick-witted and capable brothers to be stationed at the docks, train stations, and other locations," Cen Yufeng said seriously after a moment's thought. "We must successfully pick up Commander Yu and ensure his safety."
"Understood." Fu Liao nodded.
"Does District Chief...Chen Gongshu know that Commander Yu is coming to Shanghai?" Cen Yufeng asked again.
"I know," Fu Liao replied, his expression also changing drastically.
These past two days, his attention has been focused on district affairs, worrying about the dire situation in the Shanghai district. He's been so busy that he's completely forgotten about such an important matter.
"Oh no." Cen Yufeng took a deep drag on his cigarette, then coughed and said, "Strengthen manpower. We must ensure Commander Yu's safety. We absolutely cannot let Commander Yu fall into the enemy's hands."
"clear."
"Be careful," Cen Yufeng cautioned. "A lot of people have been arrested this time. There must be some cowards who have betrayed their country and turned to the enemy. Tell the brothers to be more careful and watch out, so they don't get recognized by those bastards."
"I've recalled the Qingdong Special Operations Team," Fu Liao said after a moment's thought. "The brothers in Qingdong don't usually have much contact with the district headquarters, so most of them are unfamiliar faces. Should we arrange for them to be deployed..."
“Very good, let’s do it that way.” Cen Yufeng nodded and said.
He was even more satisfied with Fu Liao. Clearly, Fu Liao had also considered that many people had been arrested and defected, which was why he thought of transferring the Qingdong Special Operations Team back to Shanghai to facilitate field operations.
……
76 Jesfield Road.
Li Cuiqun suddenly stood up.
"You mean Yu Ping'an?" He looked at Chen Gongshu. "Is it Yu Ping'an from Liling, Hunan?"
Seeing Chen Gongshu nod, and receiving confirmation from him, Li Cuiqun became even more agitated.
"Brother Chen said Yu Pingan was coming to Shanghai. Where is he now?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"I received the news a few days ago, and based on the estimated journey, he should arrive in the next day or two," Chen Gongshu said. "Actually, Yu Ping'an had already set off from Chongqing for Shanghai a while ago, but he was injured on the way and had to stop to recuperate, which delayed his arrival."
"I see." Li Cuiqun nodded, then snorted coldly, "Dai Chunfeng did a good job keeping things secret."
Yu Ping'an has been gone from Chongqing for so long, yet the Special Agent Headquarters has not received any information whatsoever. This demonstrates the tightness of intelligence work in Chongqing, at least in terms of the secrecy of their base there.
"Brother Chen, do you know how Yu Ping'an arrived in Shanghai, or where he stayed and how he made contact?" Li Cuiqun asked immediately.
