Chapter 430: No thanks for the country
Mu Tian and Chen Song looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that there was an ambush in Iwai Mansion.
Mu Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Old Chen! Let's go."
Chen Song said angrily: "What a crappy mission!"
The two ran towards the Shanghai Intelligence Station under the dim street lights.
Nan Zao Yunzi stared at the two of them from a distance and said coldly:
"Everyone follow this section chief and take down the Shanghai Intelligence Station overnight."
"Hello!"
The Shanghai Special High Section agent took the order quietly and followed her to the Shanghai Intelligence Station.
In a car in the distance, Xiang Chu sighed:
"Xiao Wan! What a pity for these dozens of lives."
Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "They didn't attack the Iwai Mansion when it was empty, but waited for an ambush. These people have really weird ideas. Go home!"
"You should tell the Shanghai Intelligence Station."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, quickly started the engine and drove towards the phone booth.
Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "You are just soft-hearted. You forgot that they assassinated me and Yi Lao."
Xiang Chu sighed, "After all, we are brothers in arms! I can't get over the hurdle in my heart. Alas!"
He stopped the car and ran to a phone booth, dialed the Shanghai Intelligence Station, and issued an evacuation warning.
After receiving the call, Mao Feng immediately rushed out of the Shanghai Intelligence Station building with Tang Cong.
They had just hidden in the woods not far away when Mu Tian and Chen Song ran back one after the other.
Tang Cong asked anxiously: "Should we tell them?"
Mao Feng pointed behind him and said, "It's too late!"
Hundreds of Japanese agents rushed over and surrounded the small building of the Shanghai Intelligence Station.
Nanzō Yunzi shouted, "Mutian! Chen Song! Come out and surrender quickly."
"We surrender!"
Mu Tian and Chen Song responded in unison.
"You two wimps! Let's go!"
Mao Feng smiled bitterly and quickly moved away.
Tang Cong chased after him and asked, "Director Mao! Who called to save us just now?"
Mao Feng said without hesitation: "Xiang Chu! We both owe him a life."
Tang Cong said in disbelief: "Ah?! I never thought he would save us."
Mao Feng said with emotion: "Xiang Chu is an upright man, worthy of being a national hero."
Tang Cong nodded and said, "Yeah! When I think about how I treated him before, I really feel guilty."
Mao Feng said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the radio and the code book are hidden in the British Hotel."
The two rushed to the England Hotel and moved the radio and code book to their new residence overnight.
Mao Feng sent a telegram to Dainong: "Director! The mission failed. The Shanghai Intelligence Station and the operatives I brought with me were all killed. Mu Tian and Chen Song rebelled. Only Tang Cong and I are left. The mission cannot be completed. Mao Feng!"
Dai Nong was extremely shocked, and it took him a long while to reply: "You and Tang Cong should go back to Wuhan, and then we can reorganize the Shanghai Intelligence Station."
Mao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Old Tang! Do you want to tell Dai Nong that Xiang Chu is in Shanghai?"
After experiencing this, Tang Cong's conscience suddenly came to his senses. He shook his head and said, "Stop talking! Xiang Chu just saved our lives. If we tell Dai Nong that he will definitely kill Wang Ke and Wang Shi, isn't this the same as harming him?"
"That's right! But maybe Dai Nong knows."
Mao Feng nodded and replied with only two words: "The telegram has been received."
Chuyue Hotel, A-di's room.
The radio broadcast sounded, Xiang Chu hurriedly copied and deciphered the message:
"Blindfolded man! Wang Ke and Wang Shi, the leading figures of the pseudo-North China Provisional Government, are now in Shanghai's Iwai Residence. The Military Intelligence Bureau has failed in their assassination attempt, and the Central Intelligence Bureau is unable to do the same. In view of this, the two men are about to leave Shanghai. The Supreme Command orders you to select an opportunity to carry out the assassination. 7 points!"
Xiang Chu replied to the message: "7 points! Complete the task resolutely. Blindfolded man!"
Song Xi called back: "It's time to choose. Don't force it. I still want you to repay me!"
Xiang Chu called back: "I have many experts under my command, so I don't need to do anything myself."
Song Xi called back: "You are my ideal general. I don't worry."
Xiang Chu no longer replied. Now that the task had been given, he had to find a way to complete it.
Yu Xiaowan was very smart and asked doubtfully, "Brother Chu! Could it be that the higher-ups asked you to take action?"
Xiang Chu didn't want to make her worry, so he shook his head and said, "No!"
Yu Xiaowan cried, "You must be lying to me, woo woo!"
Xiang Chu took her into his arms and comforted her:
"Don't cry! I have many experts under my command. I don't need to do anything myself to get rid of the two traitors."
Yu Xiaowan said coquettishly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You're trying to make me cry."
The next morning, he called Secretary Yuan of Iwai Mansion and said with a smile:
"Secretary Yuan! I'm Fujiwara no Daisuke. When are you free? Can you please specify some Tang and Song poems?"
Secretary Yuan asked with a smile: "General Fujiwara! Yuan is available at any time. May I ask where you are?"
Xiang Chu felt that he was not busy, and said without hesitation: "Chuyue Hotel, Qianjiangyue Box."
Secretary Yuan smiled and said, "Okay! I'll be there right away."
Soon, Secretary Yuan arrived at Chuyue Hotel.
The two entered the box, and Xiang Chu got straight to the point: "Secretary Yuan! Was there a shooting incident in your mansion last night?"
Secretary Yuan said tacitly: "It is said that the Shanghai Intelligence Station wanted to assassinate Wang Ke and Wang Shi. These two people were just passing through Shanghai. They did not live with us at all, and they took the Xiangqiu Maru back to Tianjin at six o'clock in the evening."
He actually blurted it out all at once, obviously telling Xiang Chu this information.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "These two people are so eye-catching, I wonder what they look like?"
Secretary Yuan took out a photo and said with a smile, "I just happened to secretly take a photo of the two of them. The man with glasses on the left is Wang Ke, and the fat man on the right is Wang Shi."
Xiang Chu took the photo and said gratefully: "Thank you so much!"
Secretary Yuan said solemnly: "No need to thank the country!"
"Okay! You're welcome."
Xiang Chu nodded heavily, feeling deeply moved.
After seeing off Secretary Yuan, he immediately called Shao Qing and Li Tong to Qianjiangyue's box.
He took out the group photo, two poison needles, two silent pistols, a stack of money, a camera, etc., and gave them some instructions.
Shao Qing laughed and said, "General! I can deal with these two traitors by myself. Is it necessary for Captain Li to follow us to Tianjin?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Good brother! Don't be careless. These two are very vigilant. You two should take care of them together. If you really can't assassinate them, give up and don't force it."
Li Tong said solemnly, "Uncle Junior Master! Don't worry, I will definitely be able to assassinate him. If the opportunity is good, I will jump into the Huangpu River and swim back to shore. I will not go to Tianjin with Shao Qing."
Shao Qing said anxiously: "Go! I will introduce my sister to you."
Li Tong became excited and said with a smile, "Your sister is prettier than Ning Qiang's sister."
Shao Qing said arrogantly: "My appearance is a hundred times better than Ning Qiang's, how can my sister be worse?"
Li Tong said happily: "That's right! I'll go to Tianjin with you. Let's go!"
After saying that, the two of them walked out with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Xiang Chu pointed at the poison needles, guns and money on the table and said anxiously: "You two! Are you not going to take these away?"
"I almost forgot to do my job."
The two smiled awkwardly.
Xiang Chu instructed: "Remember! Xiangqiu Wan will be killed at 6 o'clock tonight. It's best to take pictures after killing it."
"Yes!"
Li Tong and Shao Qing hurriedly accepted the order.
At 6 pm, Xiang Chu personally drove Li Tong and Shao Qing to the dock.
Then he parked the car at a distance and quietly observed the people on the boat.
Just as Xiangqiu Maru was about to leave the shore, a car drove over.
Iwai Hideyoshi sent Wang Ke and Wang Shi on board the boat and only turned back after the boat set sail.
"2 vs. 2! There shouldn't be any suspense."
Xiang Chu thought to himself that he would drive away only after seeing Xiang Qiu Wan leave the dock.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on A-di's door.
Xiang Chu hurried forward and opened the door.
Li Tong and Shao Qing were soaked.
Li Tong laughed and said, "Uncle Junior Master! It's too easy."
Shao Qing laughed and said, "We'll kill them once we get out of Wusongkou."
After saying that, he took out the camera in a sealed bag and handed it to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu took the camera and praised, "Very good! But why don't you go home and take a look? Also, why don't you introduce your sister to Li Tong?"
Shao Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it! Let's wait until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."
Li Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Junior! His sister is only 12 years old, she fooled me."
Shao Qing said anxiously: "After a few years of fighting, my sister will be old enough."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "That's right! Go back to your rooms and change into dry clothes."
"Yes!"
Li Tong and Shao Qing hurriedly accepted the order.
Yu Xiaowan walked out of the inner room and praised: "Not bad! A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command."
"Of course!"
Xiang Chu said domineeringly and closed the door.
He ran to the radio station and sent a telegram to Song Xi: "7 items! Wang Ke and Wang Shi have been eliminated on the Xiangqiu Maru bound for Tianjin. There are photos as evidence. Blindfolded man!"
Soon, Song Xi called back: "Blindfolded man! This news has been reported to the Supreme Command. 7 items!"
Yu Xiaowan said sourly: "7! It's a certain Sister Xi at the mahjong table, why not call her the Seven Fairies?"
