Chapter 328 Yellow Bird List
Chapter 328 Yellow Bird List
Boom boom!
The sound of artillery fire was getting closer.
Nine p.m.
Yu Zecheng unscrewed the pen and turned on the radio.
Familiar numbers came from the radio:
"3427, 4592, 63060, 78530... This call will be repeated in half an hour."
"Write it down."
Cuiping handed it to Yu Zecheng neatly.
Yu Zecheng took out the book and quickly began to translate:
"The siege is imminent, and the organization has asked us to start evacuating."
"If we're going, let's go together." Cuiping's eyes were determined.
“It’s too late.
"Bao Donglin will definitely come to me again to discuss the Yellow Bird Project in private.
“I have to get the list before I leave.
"It will be safer if we go in groups. If you leave, I can stay and deal with them with peace of mind."
Yu Zecheng held her hand and smiled gently.
He didn't dare tell Cuiping that this was also Wu Jingzhong's intention.
Yu Zecheng understands politics.
He knew he had to leave, and it had to be now.
He could leave the traffic station before Wu Jingzhong put him under house arrest.
Furthermore, some US troops are still at the base and can leave with Hong Zhi's arrangement.
But this was the last mission the organization gave him.
It was about to be obtained, and Yu Zecheng didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
He had to take a risk, take a gamble, get the information and then leave.
"Then I'll leave tomorrow night and spend the last night with you tonight," Cuiping said.
“Why not now?
"Sanmin and Xiaohui are also preparing to evacuate. The sooner you evacuate, the better." Yu Zecheng said.
“I want a child.
“Pass on the legacy of the Yu family.
"One more night means one more chance."
Cuiping said very seriously.
"Okay, alright." Yu Zecheng nodded.
The two had already discussed whether to have children on the wedding night.
Cuiping's attitude was very firm.
She was even prepared to live the rest of her life without Yu Zecheng and raise the child alone.
Yu Zecheng failed to convince her.
Then take it.
"Again, again."
"Cui Ping, I really can't take it anymore, please, please let me take a break."
"Slow down what.
"A man should not say he is incompetent. I am here to continue the family line for you, the Yu family."
"Okay, okay, I can do it. I can do it."
It was midnight.
Lao Yu finally handed in the last grain of food.
The two were just about to take a break.
boom!
Then a loud noise was heard coming from the city.
Yu Zecheng jumped off the bed in shock.
"Could it be that someone broke in?" Cuiping asked.
"It shouldn't be like that. I was talking to Chen Changjie. It could be a stray bullet." Yu Zecheng said.
He walked quickly to the phone:
"Police station? I'm Yu Zecheng from the Security Bureau.
"What happened in the north of the city just now?
"okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, he smiled and said, "It's okay, go to sleep. Qian Tongzhi's bank has exploded."
"Is it that dog traitor?" Cuiping said.
"yes.
“It was probably the work of the stationmaster that the explosion was not carried out earlier or later.
"The vault of Mr. Qian is full of treasures.
"The stationmaster can't let him get away like this." Yu Zecheng said.
"Lao Yu, how much money do you think the stationmaster and Zhiyou have?
"I feel like most of the antiques and US dollars in Jinhai City were taken by his family."
Cuiping had no idea about money, so she couldn't help but be very curious.
"Let me put it this way. If Hong Zhi is willing, he and the stationmaster's assets can buy two Yi counties, or maybe even more." Yu Zecheng gave an analogy.
“Tsk tsk.
"I spent so much money to go to Hong Kong for the National Games. I feel like I lost a lot of money." Cuiping said.
“That’s not the case.
"Construction also requires merchants, such as food, ports, and merchant ships. Our country has been fighting for so many years, and we have been plundered from inside and outside by everyone from the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Japanese, to the Chiang Kai-shek government.
“Many fields are barren.
“With so many mouths to feed, there is no such thing as so much food supply.
"My guess is that even if we were in power, the Americans and Chiang would definitely use the navy to strangle us.
“So for someone like Zhiyou who can make a living internationally, it is much better for him to stay abroad than to stay here, because he can get food, clothes, and many other daily necessities.
“And…I believe he will come back one day.
"Go to sleep now."
Having been a "partner" with Hong Zhiyou for so many years, Yu Zecheng knows very well that Hong Zhiyou has feelings for this land.
……
a few days later.
Hong Zhiyou came to the station and brushed off the fallen snow on his body.
The station became increasingly deserted.
The registration desk on the second floor was already empty.
The heavy and powerful footsteps of the past were no longer heard in the corridor.
Arrived at the stationmaster's office.
Wu Jingzhong got up early and stood by the window watching the falling snow.
"Chen Changjie refused to surrender and threatened to fight to the bitter end until every grain of food and bullet was gone.
"Not only that, he also organized and trained the gendarmerie headquarters, the city defense bureau, and even the municipal government agencies, all of which were paid by the emperor, and incorporated them into the resistance army.
“Now the people of Jinhai City are in a panic, and the rich and the law-abiding are fleeing.
"In the past few days alone, thirteen people have left our station and disappeared. It feels like the monkeys scatter when the tree falls."
Wu Jingzhong sighed sadly.
“Zhangjiakou is lost.
“Tanggu has been fenced off.
"Chen Changjie is still taking the fearless step of mobilizing all citizens to fight as soldiers.
"War is merciless. This is a road to self-destruction."
Hong Zhi nodded.
"He's not being fearless, he's trying to figure out his future.
"Who can't see Chen Changjie's little trick?
"He pretended to resist and waited for Fu Zuoyi to come to negotiate, then he bargained and gained some political capital.
"The government.
“There isn’t a single good person.”
Wu Jingzhong had seen through these people's tricks.
"teacher.
"Anderson's plane will be able to leave tomorrow night." Hong Zhiyou moved closer and whispered.
"Is the route arranged?"
Wu Jingzhong asked.
“It’s arranged.
"Let's fly to Qingdao first. There is a base of the Seventh Fleet there. We can take a break there. I have arranged for the company's ships and the US military ships as double insurance.
"This way we can avoid Jingling and take a boat to Xiangdao."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Ok.
“I’m at ease with you doing the job.
"But now that Jianfeng has sunk, and Mao Renfeng has always had ill intentions towards us, we still have to be careful." Wu Jingzhong advised.
"Yes." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Why.
"If you can take one more look, take one more look."
Wu Jingzhong suddenly opened the window, letting the cold wind carrying snowflakes blow all over his face.
Hong Zhiyou walked out of the office.
Bao Donglin had been waiting for a long time and dragged him into the reception room:
"Brother, it looks like the fight is about to start, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Of course we should respond to Commander Chen's order and live and die with Jinhai." Hong Zhiyou said.
"What the hell.
“My wife and children are still in Jingling.
“Brother, you are Jin Hai Tong, and you are always resourceful. Please teach me a way that will allow me to return to Jingling reasonably.
"Do not.
"As long as I don't get shot, I'm fine even if I have to go back over there and be detained."
Bao Donglin knew very well that if he didn't leave, Chen Changjie would probably drag him out and use him as cannon fodder.
"It's easy as long as you don't get shot." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Don't you have a list of people involved in the Yellow Bird Project?
“If these people were fabricated by Li Ya to deal with Director Mao, that’s all.
"When you get to Jingling, you'll just say he's dead. There's no such person anywhere.
"Put all the blame on Li Ya.
“Even if Mao Renfeng sends someone else back to investigate secretly in the future, if there is no evidence, then there is no evidence and it will not be your fault.
"Besides, you are a bad person, so Director Mao dragged you to do hard work, but you have no grudge against him, so there is no reason for him to kill you.
"I just got anxious and locked you up for a while."
Hong Zhiyou said in a joking tone.
"Yes.
“Why didn’t I think of this idea.
"I am really enlightened by your words."
Bao Donglin slapped his forehead in delight.
After laughing a few times, his face gradually became gloomy again:
"Brother, this is a good idea, but the problem is that I am not familiar with Jinhai at all. Even if there is a list and contact information, I can't find it and I can't spare any manpower.
“I just cleared them one by one by myself.
“Before the people were cleared out, Jinhai had already been captured by the Red Tickets.
“How can I leave?
"Brother, I'll send the Buddha to the west, please give me a hand."
"I can't do anything about this, but you can find Director Yu. He is now in charge of the Intelligence Department and his words are effective in the action team. With his help, things will go much faster." Hong Zhiyou suggested.
"I understand. Thanks, brother. I'll go find Director Yu right away." Bao Donglin patted his shoulder happily and walked away quickly.
"Dong dong."
Bao Donglin knocked on the office door hurriedly.
"Come in." Yu Zecheng's low voice came from inside.
"Director Yu."
Bao Donglin locked the door with a click and walked quickly to Yu Zecheng.
"Special Envoy, what are you doing?" Yu Zecheng was a little confused.
“Old Yu.
“To tell you the truth, I am determined to return to Jingling.
"I'm done with this bullshit Yellow Bird Plan.
"I've thought about killing all of these people so that there will be no evidence.
“Here is the list, please go through it.
"Do your brother a favor and clean them up."
Bao Donglin said in a low voice.
"Brother, if Director Mao finds out about this, he will lose his head," said Yu Zecheng.
"Why do you care?" Just say that the list was forged by Li Ya. Li Ya has been reincarnated now, so who can testify?
“Besides, be careful.
"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know."
As Bao Donglin spoke, he picked up his briefcase, took out two gold bars and handed them over.
“Brother, I am at my wit’s end.
"Brother, please do me a favor and give me a hand.
"OK?"
He clasped his hands together and was so anxious that he almost knelt down to Yu Zecheng.
"Okay, okay."
Yu Zecheng accepted the gold bars reluctantly for the sake of money.
"Show me the list," he said.
Bao Donglin no longer hesitated, took out the list of the Yellow Bird Project, unfolded it and handed it to Yu Zecheng.
Yu Zecheng took a quick look and saw several familiar names.
For example, Xu Baofeng.
They are all guys with good survival skills.
Moreover, it was far more troublesome than Yu Zecheng had imagined. Li Ya did not find dozens of hidden spies, but as many as 108.
In addition to Xu Baofeng, there were also some people from the casino, black market, and docks.
Yu Zecheng secretly thought that this was a close call.
If we don't get this list, Jinhai City will never have peace because of this destructive force.
“Do you have a camera? Take a picture, or write it down.
"If the original copy of this thing gets out, the risk is too great."
Bao Donglin reminded.
"No problem." This was exactly what Yu Zecheng wanted.
It was too dangerous to keep a copy at this time, so he took out his camera and took pictures.
"When will it be implemented?" Yu Zecheng asked.
"The sooner the better!" Bao Donglin said.
"I understand. I'll start the work as soon as the photos are developed. Don't worry, no one will be left behind." Yu Zecheng said.
"Thanks, brother." Bao Donglin was very grateful.
After he walked out, Yu Zecheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He was wondering how to get the list.
I didn't expect that Bao Donglin would lose his temper first. God really helps me.
No.
He wanted to send this roll of film to Liao Sanmin as soon as possible and hand it over to the organization for future cleaning out these latent "worms".
Thinking of this, Yu Zecheng quickly picked up the phone and dialed Liao Sanmin's number:
"Hello, Captain Liao.
"I have information about the 1510th Brigade and the 86th Army Headquarters reselling supplies.
"Let's meet at the usual place this afternoon."
Just after hanging up the phone, several soldiers wearing inspection armbands came in, and the leading officer said:
"Director Yu Zecheng, please come with us to the Security Command Headquarters."
"No, what do you mean?" Yu Zecheng didn't understand.
"This is Commander Chen's order. We are just executing it." The officer said solemnly.
"Then I have to ask the stationmaster for instructions first."
Yu Zecheng stood up and went to the stationmaster's office.
Inside, there were also several inspecting officers surrounding Hong Zhiyou, led by Peng Chengtao from the Security Department.
Wu Jingzhong is furious:
"How ridiculous! Who gave your dog the guts to come to my secret service to arrest people?
"It's the opposite of Tian Gang, right?
"Believe it or not, I will shoot you to death!"
Peng Chengtao explained with a depressed look on his face: "Stationmaster Wu, even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to arrest your people. Am I not following the orders of Chief Chen?
“Besides, I’m not arresting you, I’m inviting you.
"Commander Chen means that all school officers must be enlisted to receive military training, and when necessary, they can organize militia and civilians to fight the necessary battles.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Commander Chen."
Wu Jingzhong's face darkened.
After Fu Zuoyi rejected the Chairman's plan to retreat south of the Yangtze River, Pingjin became Fu Zuoyi's world. Similarly, Chen Changjie, who commanded an army of nearly 150,000, became the local emperor of Tianjin.
In the past, Wu Jingzhong could still make challenges.
What now?
He, Sun Chuanzhi, Du Jianshi and others all became fish on Chen Changjie's chopping board.
Even if they arrested him, let alone executed him, he couldn't say a word.
Who lets people control the gun?
"Since that's what Commander Chen wants, let's do it." Wu Jingzhong knew that it was useless to make the call, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Teacher, don't worry, everything will be fine.
“The snow may stop tonight.
"Remember to wear more clothes."
Hong Zhiyou looked at Wu Jingzhong and smiled slightly.
The latter understands.
The original plan to leave tomorrow night can only be postponed to tonight due to this sudden change.
The two of them had already set the rules.
Once anything changes, whoever has the chance will go first, and at least one person must survive.
The property of Xiangdao must be left to Lele.
Without a man in charge, relying solely on Ruirui and her gang of women, they will be swallowed up sooner or later.
Arrived at the Security Command.
Sure enough, there were quite a few officers inside.
Some are from the City Defense Bureau and some are from the Military Police Headquarters.
Hong and Yu looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is not targeting them alone.
In this case, safety is at least guaranteed for a short period of time.
"What bad luck! I just got the list and now I can't send it out.
“I don’t know how long I will have to train here.
"At this rate, if we keep the city locked up for a few more days, all the money will be stolen from us."
Yu Zecheng whispered to each other.
"Don't worry.
"I'll find a way later."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
……
night.
Cuiping made a big pot of fennel-stuffed dumplings, which Lao Yu loved.
She had to leave tonight.
This meal of dumplings can be regarded as a farewell for the two of them.
The dumplings were served.
Cuiping waited for a while, and it was time for Lao Yu to get off work.
ten minutes.
twenty minutes.
When the dumplings were completely cold, Cuiping realized something was wrong and quickly called Yu Zecheng's office.
I called three times but no one answered.
She called Hong Zhiyou again, but still no one answered.
Could it be that the two of them went out to do some business?
It shouldn't be.
Given Lao Yu's personality, he would call me in advance even if he went out to do something.
After thinking for a while, she dialed the number of the gate guard.
Still no one answered.
This is strange.
In theory, the security department of Jinhai Station is staffed 24 hours a day.
Just thinking about it.
Liao Sanmin hurried in: "Sister-in-law, something happened, follow me immediately."
"Sanmin, what's wrong? Where's Lao Yu?" Cuiping felt a sudden pain in her chest and picked up the coat hanging on the wall.
"Old Yu and Secretary Hong were taken away by the Security Command.
"We don't know what Chen Changjie is up to now. According to the plan, you should evacuate first."
Liao Sanmin said.
"Then, what about Lao Yu?" Cuiping asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry, after I leave, I will come back to continue to find out the news.
"Don't worry, Secretary Hong is with him.
"Chen Changjie is not checking red tickets, he is just doing military training.
"Let's go."
Liao Sanmin urged her to get into the car.
Xiao Hui had been waiting in the back row for a long time. "Sister-in-law, listen to San Min. My brother is here. Chen Changjie is counting on him to supply military rations. I'm sure everything will be fine."
"Ok.
"Let's go."
Cuiping touched her belly, perhaps there was hope for Lao Yu.
She did not fight for her life as she did in the past, but got into the car calmly, staring at the yard where the dim lights were still flashing.
More than three years.
Finally left.
"I can't bear to leave." She whispered softly.
"Sister-in-law, what did you say?" Hong Xiaohui asked.
"I say, what a pity for this dumpling meal."
……
Security Command.
Hong and Yu waited for a while, and Chen Changjie came in person to give them a lecture.
Then, the staff officer came to give the training course.
We kept busy until after eight o'clock in the evening before we were allowed to rest.
Hong Zhiyou glanced at his watch.
The plane takes off at ten o'clock.
There is still more than an hour left.
If he could leave the garrison headquarters now, he could still catch up.
You have to give it a try no matter what.
Thinking of this, he waved to Yu Zecheng, and the two of them went straight to the security department.
Peng Chengtao was preparing to have dinner.
Hong Zhiyou closed the door behind him and said, "Old Peng, please help me. Director Yu and I have to leave now."
As he said this, he gave Yu Zecheng a look.
Yu Zecheng quickly handed over the two gold bars given by Bao Donglin.
"Secretary Hong, it's a critical moment now. Commander Chen has given a death order. No one is allowed to leave without his order." Peng Chengtao refused in embarrassment.
“Old Peng.
“Can’t you leave the Quartermaster Department?
"Go tell Commander Chen that the Americans are in a hurry to evacuate and that there is a large amount of military supplies and weapons waiting for me to deal with.
"You have to eat and have weapons when you fight."
Hong Zhiyou opened his mouth and spoke.
"This..." Peng Chengtao was still reluctant.
“Old Peng, don’t pretend, I know you can handle it.
"Well, I'll write you an IOU.
"As long as you can let Director Yu and I out, I'll give you $10,000."
Hong Zhiyou took out a pen from his pocket and said.
Peng Chengtao still shook his head.
“Twelve thousand.
“Fifteen thousand.
“Fuck, twenty thousand dollars!
"You know my reputation. In one word, do you want to let him go or not?"
Hong Zhi got angry and pointed at his nose.
