Wei Liangbi left the bureau's office, and soon rushed to Huang Xianzheng's home, and reported the content of the message to Huang Xianzheng in person.

The departure of Gao Tao and the others, such a big thing, will definitely set off a huge wave in China and Japan, and its impact will even cause repercussions in the international community, but the bureau is so secretive that it leaves the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau aside, enjoying its own merits, and the appearance is too ugly!

The more Huang Xianzheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and said fiercely: "What is Zhiheng doing in Shanghai? This matter should be communicated to me in advance, and we should have plugged in whatever we say, but now it's all the credit of others, if we don't get it right, we have to wipe someone's ass! ”

Wei Liangbi was also unwilling, but he still opened his mouth to persuade: "Zhiheng should also have scruples, for fear of ruining this big matter, he can only take care of the overall situation, and I estimate that he may not have paid too much attention to this matter before, in short, now that the wood is in the boat, you still don't care too much." ”

Wei Liangbi guessed very accurately, at the beginning, although Ning Zhiheng knew that Wan Mulin had another mission to return to Shanghai, he did not pay attention to it, and he did not delve into it, until Gao Tao and the others made a statement, he introduced the whole story.

Huang Xianzheng snorted coldly, now that the action has been completed, he naturally can't make waves again, he said to Wei Liangbi: "Don't be too kind, we spare no effort to support them, and we are saving people and sending guns, but what about people!" The abacus is better than us, in short, I must explain this matter clearly to him, otherwise I will suffer in the future! ”

The next morning, in the Chen Mansion in the French Concession in Shanghai, Chen Ting and Wan Mulin were sitting opposite each other, both of them were full of smiles, and Lei Ming, who was standing behind Chen Ting, first asked: "Uncle Mulin, is there news from Hong Kong?" ”

Wan Mulin laughed, nodded and said: "I received a notice last night, Gao Tao and the others have arrived in Hong Kong safely, this matter is finally completed, Brother Yue Sheng is very satisfied, Brother Ting, you are the first to work, Brother Yue Sheng has already asked for credit to the Chongqing government for you, as long as you need it in the future, just talk to me, anything is easy to say!" Ha ha! ”

Chen Ting hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Mu Lin, they are all their own brothers, it's too polite!" I have finally contributed to the country, and my heart is a lot lighter! ”

Wan Mulin looked up at Lei Ming again and said, "Ah Ming, you did a beautiful job this time, you planned carefully, and you didn't make any mistakes halfway, if you have any ideas in the future, you can mention them to me, even if you arrange a position in the military command, there is no problem." ”

This time the action was carried out by Lei Ming, so Wan Mulin was also very satisfied with him, and now the Military Command Bureau is recruiting personnel on a large scale, and there are many people from the gang, with Yue Sheng's relationship, this is just a matter of words.

Radar heard it, but he had scruples, he never wanted to get into this battle too deeply, this time he was forced by Wan Mulin, but he was forced by Wan Mulin, so he risked and put No. 76 right, in the future, he still wanted to guard the concession and live in peace!

He hurriedly excused himself and said, "Uncle Mu Lin, you are joking, we people have been messing around in this concession since we were children, and we don't have any big ambitions, so we can just give you a start." ”

Wan Mulin knew what their master and apprentice were thinking, but they were afraid that they were not optimistic about the Chongqing government, and they still wanted to guard their own one-third of an acre.

He didn't care, raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about this matter, in short, the credit is for you to remember, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future!" ”

When Lei Ming heard this, his heart was relieved, he changed the topic, and said: "Uncle Mu Lin, now that the matter is done and the merits are complete, when do you plan to return to Hong Kong?" ”

Lei Ming's attitude towards Wan Mulin was respectful and afraid, and now he was still worried that Wan Mulin would stay too long and things would repeat, so he asked.

"What? I'm in the way here! Wan Mulin smiled slightly and said indifferently.

He naturally knew the worries of the master and apprentice, they were afraid that something would happen to them and finally involve them.

When Chen Ting heard this, he hurriedly moved forward, waved his hand again and again and said: "Mu Lin, don't misunderstand, we are also for your good, you are not better than us, Brother Yue Sheng was registered with the Japanese, you have stayed in Shanghai for too long, it is always too conspicuous, it is better not to take risks." ”

When Wan Mulin heard this, he no longer insisted, the delay in his coming back this time was indeed too long, mainly for this matter, and now he should have retired.

He patted the armrest of the sofa, laughed, nodded and agreed: "Okay, Brother Yue Sheng also urged me to go back in the telegram, I will arrange it as soon as possible!" ”

When Chen Ting and Lei Ming heard this, they were secretly relieved!

Under the send-off of Chen Ting's master and apprentice, Wan Mulin walked out of the Chen Mansion, got into the car, and said to Chai Liang who was sitting in the back seat of the driver: "Ah Si, book me a ticket back to Hong Kong immediately, the sooner the better!" ”

When Chai Liang heard this, he quickly turned around and said, "Uncle Mu Lin, are you going back to Hong Kong?" ”

Wan Mulin looked at Chai Liang meaningfully, and nodded: "It's not a short time for me to come back, it's time to leave, Ah Si, this time you did a good job, I remember your credit!" ”

Chai conscience knew in his heart that Wan Mulin was only afraid that he would have doubts in his heart, but he just refused to find out, he still nodded respectfully and said: "Uncle Mulin, I think for the sake of safety, it is better not to leave by passenger ferry, the customs in Wusongkou will definitely have an inspection, I think it is better to cross the river and go to Pudong, so it is safer." ”

Nowadays, the Shanghai Concession is surrounded by the urban area in the center, and there are basically several routes out of Shanghai, and the most convenient way to go to Hong Kong is, of course, to take a passenger ferry out of Wusongkou Customs and go to Hong Kong along the coastline.

And the route in Chai Liang's mouth is a smuggling route, which is generally a route used by the disciples of the Qing Gang to run away after committing a crime.

That is, from the southern end of the French Concession into the urban area of Nanshi, and then smuggled from the upper reaches of the Huangpu River to the Pudong area, where the population is sparse, the terrain is complex, and the Japanese are weak here, and when the time comes, they can use a variety of channels to get to Hangzhou and transfer to Hong Kong.

When Wan Mulin heard this, he immediately frowned, waved his hand and said, "What am I going to do with that effort?" Go straight back by passenger ferry! ”

Chai Liang hurriedly explained: "Uncle Mu Lin, since yesterday, there have been a lot of irrelevant people in the concession, I inquired, they are all people in the city, these people are Li Zhiqun's subordinates, who knows what they have found?" We still have to be careful! ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Wan Mulin was stunned when he heard this, his eyes froze, he was hiding from Chai Liang about assisting Gao Tao and the two of them to escape, but Chai Liang said this now, so he naturally made a discovery.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, but he thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to leave on a passenger ferry.

The main thing is that this incident has just happened, and he thinks that the movement of Agent 76's headquarters will not be so fast, and it is still in a stage of asking for news everywhere, and it is safe for him to leave now.

Besides, he Wan Mulin has a very high status in the Shanghai Green Gang, and he was also the person in charge of the Green Gang at the beginning, Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai, junior people, without special circumstances, dare not touch him easily, which is also a bad reputation among the disciples of the Green Gang.

As for the route Chai Liang said, although his whereabouts are hidden, there are too many variables, especially now, there are people from all walks of life in the Pudong area, there are Japanese troops, there are puppet army, the New Fourth Army, and even bandits along the way, it has long been not as safe as before, he weighed it left and right, and finally gave up this choice.

He finally spoke: "Do as I say!" Let's leave today, and when the time comes, just disguise yourself and cover up your whereabouts! ”

Chai Liang couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard it, he reminded Wan Mulin again and again, but Wan Mulin was stubborn, and Chai Liang couldn't continue to insist, so he had to nod and agree: "Yes, Uncle Mu Lin, I'll do it right away!" ”

That night, Wan Mulin changed his outfit and appeared at the wharf west of the Huangpu River in the French Concession.

Chai Liang behind him was carrying a suitcase, and after a while, watching the ship dock, Chai Liang handed over the suitcase to Wan Mulin's hands.

"Uncle Mu Lin, I still feel a little risky, can you think about it again?"

Wan Mulin took the suitcase and said impatiently: "I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I haven't seen anything, can it be that I can't go out when I hear a little wind and rain?" I'm going to come back in April, and you're optimistic about the house! ”

Chai Liang had no choice but to nod and agree, maybe Wan Mulin's judgment was not wrong, and it was still too late to leave.

Wan Mulin's evacuation of Shanghai today, he had already reported to Ji Hongyi, although Ji Hongyi also felt that this move was quite risky, but Ning Zhiheng's attitude was to try not to interfere in the process and wait and see, so Ji Hongyi did not have much to do.

Watching the passenger ship leave the port, Chai Liang and Wan Mulin waved goodbye, and then turned around and left quickly.

The passenger ship slowly sailed on the Huangpu River and soon entered the Wusongkou Customs Wharf, where Japanese customs officers would carry out relatively strict inspections on the freighter, mainly because of the Japanese blockade of supplies along the East China coast.

However, it is more lenient on passenger ferries, most of the time it is a formality, unless it is a special circumstance, it will not forcibly detain passengers, Wan Mulin has returned to Shanghai several times, and he has taken passenger ferries back and forth, and the itinerary is very smooth, so he is not too worried.

But this time he obviously miscalculated, when the passenger ship stopped at the customs, the Japanese patrol boat approached, and a team of personnel boarded the passenger ship, led by Wu Shicai!

Wu Shicai took people directly to the cabin, inspected it, and quickly focused his attention on Wan Mulin in the corner.

Although Wan Mulin changed his outfit this time, his body was fat and quite conspicuous, so Wu Shicai recognized him at a glance and walked straight in front of him.

With a low figure, he said with a smile in his mouth: "Uncle Mu Lin, don't come unharmed!" ”
