Chapter 1238 Don't Expose Yourself

Chu Mansion, underground secret room.

Xiang Chu was scolding Liu Zhengxiong while Ning Caiwei was watching at the door.

This is equivalent to a party group criticism and self-criticism meeting.

If Song Xi and Kong Ling come over, the meeting must be ended immediately.

Liu Zhengxiong lowered his head, like a primary school student who had done his homework wrong.

Xiang Chu righteously rebuked: "Comrade Huamei! Who arranged for you to meet Kingfisher on the street? Why didn't you report it to the organization?"

Liu Zhengxiong lowered his head and said, "It was arranged by Xu Zeng from the Central Bureau of Investigation."

"what?!"

Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei exclaimed.

Ning Caiwei patted her heart and said in shock: "Old Liu! Don't scare me."

Xiang Chu touched Liu Zhengxiong's forehead and asked in confusion: "You don't have a fever!"

Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "This is what happened..."

He recounted the whole story of how Xu Zeng invited him to dinner and asked him to do something for him.

Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei were stunned.

After a while, Xiang Chu shook his head and said:

"Old Liu! You've fallen into Chen Guo and Xu Zeng's trap again."

"real?!"

Liu Zhengxiong looked incredulous.

Ning Caiwei shook her head and said, "Brother Chu! No way."

Xiang Chu analyzed: "Think about it, maybe Chen Guo thinks there is some connection between our Chu Mansion and the Eighth Route Army, so she asked Lao Liu to seduce Sister Hua."

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Boy! The word 'seduce' is too ugly."

Xiang Chu said angrily: "Didn't you just say that yourself?"

Ning Caiwei couldn't help laughing and urged:

"Brother Chu! Please continue your analysis."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Even if Chen Guo didn't find out that we were connected to the Eighth Route Army, he would still use this as an excuse to say that the Chu Mansion was connected to the Eighth Route Army."

Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? And we can communicate with the Eighth Route Army openly, since it's the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics that has established this connection."

Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Yes! I even made a contribution unintentionally."

Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Alas! I can only take advantage of their tricks."

Ning Caiwei said angrily, "What do you mean by taking advantage of the situation? This is contacting the organization openly."

Liu Zhengxiong said happily: "Yes! I will go to the Eighth Route Army Office now to give flowers to Ai Mei."

"Shh!"

Xiang Chu made a gesture to keep quiet.

Kong Ling walked down the stairs with a newspaper in her hand and asked with a smile, "What are you three doing in the basement?"

Xiang Chu hurriedly went out to greet him and said with a smile: "Cai Wei and I will go with Manager Liu to count the inventory at home to see if we can make it until the autumn harvest."

Kong Ling said angrily, "Get lost! We just seized a large sum of money from the Japanese. We can hold on until the victory of the war."

Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "It looks like the war of resistance will be won soon."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "It's difficult! Although the Japs are short of war resources, they will definitely try every means to maintain it, and will use various winning strategies such as winning over and dividing."

Kong Ling handed him the newspaper and said angrily, "Hurry and take a look! A Japanese guy with the pen name Hou Tu has been publishing articles recently, slandering our people, provoking conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the relationship between our country and Europe and the United States. He also maliciously attacked you, the director of the film agency, saying that you have no spirit of cooperation."

Xiang Chu took the newspaper and read it, then said with a smile, "This article was definitely written by that guy Doihara Ken'er."

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Is Doihara Xian'er out of his mind? Why is he trying to discredit our film agency?"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Doihara Xian'er not only insulted me, but also insulted Aokimon. As the head of this agency has been abolished and Doihara Xian'er is heartbroken, I will not argue with him."

Ning Caiwei said thoughtfully: "Brother Chu! This Doihara Xian'er is really a charlatan. Did he figure out that it was you who caused this?"

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "How is that possible? Let's go upstairs and eat."

Kong Ling said hurriedly, "Don't worry! You stay in the basement for a while and play the role of Kong Ling. A foreign military inspection team will be here tomorrow, and we have to accompany them on the inspection."

Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Okay! Just treat it as a trip to enjoy the mountains and rivers."

Zeng Mansion, underground secret room.

Zeng Yun took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Qing Mu Lian Hua, saying solemnly:

"Miss! This is the security document for the foreign military inspection team after they arrived in Chongqing. According to the instructions of the headquarters, all 10 members of this inspection team must be killed to destroy the Chinese government's plan to join the Allies."

Qing Mu Lianhua handed the document over, looked through it carefully, and said disapprovingly:

"The headquarters is worrying too much. Under pressure from the Empire, the Allies will never agree to the Chinese government joining. They were beaten to a pulp by Hitler and have no ability to open up a battlefield in the Far East."

Zeng Yun smiled and said, "To be honest! I also think that the headquarters is making a fuss out of nothing, but since the mission has been issued, we still have to use some tricks to complete it."

Qing Mu Lianhua pointed at the document and said, "Tomorrow morning, you can send someone to disguise as a bandit and ambush the military inspection team on their way to the Bishan Arsenal."

Zeng Yun opened the map, pointed to a spot and said, "Let's go to the Black Wind Pass. Once the opening is blocked, no one will be able to escape."

Qing Mu Lian Hua smiled and said, "Yoshi! The roads here are narrow, so nothing will escape."

Zeng Yun said thoughtfully: "Miss! What if Minister Chen doesn't go tomorrow and asks me to accompany the inspection team? What should I do?"

Qing Mu Lianhua said angrily, "You can't pretend to be sick? Let him send Deputy Minister Xie."

Zeng Yun nodded and said, "That's right! Deputy Minister Xie is ranked ahead of me."

Qing Mu Lianhua shook her head and said, "Old Zeng! You have been the deputy minister for so many years, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

Zeng Yun sneered and said, "If the imperial army invades Chongqing one day, I, Zeng Yun, will kill all those who prevent me from getting promoted."

Qingmu Lianhua picked up the newspaper and flipped through it, mocking him, "Old Zeng! Houtu has published another article. It's full of nonsense, and he's also making innuendos and accusing the Shadow Agency and our Qingmu Sect."

Zeng Yun snatched the newspaper and said angrily, "Doihara Xian'er, this new recruit, actually dared to slander our Qingmumen. What on earth does he want to do?"

Qing Mu Lianhua sneered, "He worked hard to write articles and gain fame, hoping to get his job back."

Zeng Yun said bitterly: "This guy is so abominable. He doesn't even know how to train properly as a new soldier."

Qingmu Lianhua waved her hand and said, "We don't need to worry about Qingmu Sect. The Shadow Agency will take care of him."

At this time, the radio transmission sounded.

Zeng Yun hurried out to copy and translate the message, handed it to Qing Mu Lianhua, and said with a wry smile:

"Miss! There is a Westerner named Tep in the foreign military expedition group. He is an overseas spy of the empire. He entered China to steal intelligence. This person must not make any mistakes."

Qing Mu Lianhua nodded and said, "In this case, we cannot let Tepu go to the Bishan Arsenal with the military inspection team."

Zeng Yun smiled and said, "This is easy. The foreign military inspection team has already arrived in the temporary capital. I will go over to remind him tonight."

Qing Mu Lian Hua rolled her eyes at him and scolded:

"Old man Zeng! No matter what, you can't expose yourself."

Zeng Yun nodded and said, "I understand! But who should we send over to remind them?"
