This short-clothed man is a close member of the Qing Gang leader Luo Zidong, and one of the most reliable Qing Gang disciples specially assigned by Yan Xing to arrange the bait, named Cao Hong.

The man opposite was Jiang Hui, a former member of the Shanghai Intelligence Station of the Military Command and now a special agent of the No. 76 Agent Headquarters.

In the past few days, Yan Xing, in accordance with Luo Zidong's instructions, has hung some houses suitable for hiding in various housing agencies, and began to cast a net everywhere, distributing his cronies and traitors from the Shanghai intelligence station, waiting for the bait to be baited.

But in the concession, the housing has always been tight, these houses just a few days after the listing, a lot of tenants came to ask for rent, but they were not the people they were looking for, so they found all kinds of excuses to drive away these renters, just today, Cao Hong has sent away two groups of people.

Jiang Hui was also helpless, he opened his mouth and said: "This person is definitely not, his Tianjin accent is very authentic, there is no doubt that he is from Tianjin, but I have seen several people in charge of Shanghai Station, none of them are from Tianjin, let's wait, this is also looking for a needle in a haystack, trying luck, in a hurry!" ”

Cao Hong had no choice but to be patient, got up and walked out of the door, came to the courtyard, and was about to reach out to close the courtyard door, but a hand reached in and blocked the courtyard door.

Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, and saw two men standing outside the door, looking similar to the two people who had just left, and knew that the tenant had come to the door again.

There are a lot of people who have come in the past few days, but none of them are right, and they have all been sent away by him under various pretexts, because of this, they all broke up unhappily in the end, and none of them had a good face, so Cao Hong also asked impatiently: "You also came to see the house?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The real estate agent hurriedly nodded and said, "The contemptible surname is Wu, and he is the agent of Yongkang Real Estate Agency, didn't you put the house for rent in our company, this Boss Chen has the intention to rent, so come and see the house, I don't know if it's inconvenient now?" ”

Cao Hong glanced at Guan Han behind him, hesitated for a moment, then opened the door, and said unconcernedly: "Come in, let's say okay first, our yard can only be rented for a short time, and the time can't be long, at most half a year, and it can't be used to run those messy small factories, otherwise I won't agree to make the house stinky for me in the end." ”

When Agent Wu heard this, he said in surprise: "These things were not explained at the beginning?" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Guan Han with an inquiring eye, if the conditions were so harsh, it would be troublesome, I was afraid that ordinary people would find it difficult to accept.

However, Guan Han was secretly happy, the colder the other party's attitude, the more down-to-earth his heart was, anyway, he didn't plan to rent it for a long time, now the Shanghai intelligence station often moves everywhere, this residence must not live for a long time, it was originally for a temporary stay, if the other party asks for a year's rent all of a sudden, he is really unwilling to give, and it is also troublesome to negotiate in the end.

As for things like setting up a factory, there is no need to think about it, he nodded immediately, Agent Wu knew that these conditions were not a problem, and quickly turned his head to Cao Hong and said: "There is no problem, as long as our boss takes a fancy to the house, everything is negotiable." ”

Cao Hong then turned sideways and let them in, Guan Han and the two of them walked into the courtyard, Guan Han looked around, there was no sundries in the yard, it seemed very spacious, there was a row of bungalows in the north, Guan Han walked around the yard, nodded, and said, "Go and take a look in the house!" ”

Cao Hong didn't say much, pushed open the door and let them into the house, there were seven rooms, all of them were empty, and there was a musty smell in the room, obviously no one had lived in it for a long time.

Guan Han smiled and asked, "Little brother, what is your surname?" ”

"Don't be expensive, your surname is Huang!" Cao Hong replied casually.

He didn't continue to greet him, and then said: "This yard used to be used to store sundries, but now I am also short of money, so I sold everything and vacated it to earn some rent!" ”

Seeing that Cao Hong was reluctant to talk, he only said that this person was not easy to deal with, Guan Han didn't care, he looked around, and was very satisfied, the housing area here is very large, and at least four or five people can live in a room, so that only this one place can arrange the next half of the action team, if it is an organ of the intelligence station, this courtyard will be placed.

Guan Han checked the house and asked Cao Hong about it, but Cao Hong was not in a high mood, and after saying a few words to Guan Han without being salty, he didn't say more, and finally simply let them see for themselves, and turned around and left.

Agent Wu saw that the owner was so lazy, and was worried that Guan Han would be unhappy, but he didn't care about Guan Han, so he didn't say much, and accompanied Guan Han to look around.

After a while, Cao Hong walked back, and Guan Han asked with a smile: "Brother Huang, I am very satisfied with this house, how about it, let's talk, but I just saw that you are not willing to rent to outsiders, don't get in the way?" ”

Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had just driven the other tenants away for them to see, so he had to make an excuse to explain: "I just don't like northerners very much, these people are not easy to deal with, if you rent, there is no problem." ”

Guan Han knew that the locals in Shanghai were a little xenophobic, and he didn't care, the two of them discussed, this time Cao Hong was very happy, and quickly negotiated the price in a few words, and discussed the next day, Guan Han and Agent Wu got up and left.

Watching them leave, Cao Hong immediately closed the courtyard door, quickly returned to his room, and said to Jiang Hui, who had been secretly observing: "The person is gone, it has been discussed, tomorrow I will go to the intermediary company to sign the contract, he will come again, you won't admit your mistake this time, right?" ”

Jiang Hui nodded and said: "I won't admit it, this person's real name is Guan Han, he is the intelligence director of Shanghai Station, when I first came to Shanghai Station, I had received a period of agent training, and he gave us a few lessons, but this person is experienced, you should be careful when you follow it tomorrow, don't be discovered by him." ”

Cao Hong said with a smile: "This is our land, there are our people everywhere, and it is not a trivial matter with a person, as long as he shows up, he can't run!" ”

Guan Han is still at a loss to know his whereabouts exposed, and he must have several sets of safe houses in his hands at any time to deal with emergencies, and now that he has found this suitable backup house, he is naturally very happy in his heart.

However, he had to prepare a few more sets, so after breaking up with Agent Wu, he found a real estate agency and continued to look for a house for backup.

Luo Zidong also got the news quickly, and when he heard that someone finally came out, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized manpower, arranged it carefully, and waited for the prey to take the bait again.

At noon the next day, Guan Han appeared at Yongkang Real Estate Agency, and after waiting for a while, Cao Hong also rushed over, and the two of them signed the contract at the agency and paid the rent.

Guan Han completed all the formalities, walked out of the intermediary company, waved a rickshaw and left.

He acted cautiously along the way, and also made anti-tracking actions, but because Luo Zidong had been prepared and arranged enough eyeliner around him, his whereabouts finally fell into Luo Zidong's grasp.

In the evening, in the Luo Mansion, Yan Xing was reporting the tracking situation to Luo Zidong.

"Brother Dong, Guan Han entered No. 23 Zhu Baoshan Road, we checked, this house was rented out half a month ago, it has been empty, and it was only the day before yesterday that we started moving in."

Luo Zidong asked, "Is this house big?" How many people can live? ”

Yan Xing replied: "This house is not small, there are five suites in it, if you squeeze a little, at least fifteen or sixteen people can live, this Guan Han is a high-level cadre of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, and the place where he hides must be the nest of Chongqing elements." ”

Luo Zidong nodded, Yan Xing was right, Guan Han chose such a big house as a foothold, and there must be a lot of people to settle in, and it is very likely that it is an intelligence station agency, but he still has to find other intelligence station personnel, and this job will be more troublesome.

He waved his hand and said: "Take those six people to recognize people, recognize one by one, find out the situation, and then I will hand it over to No. 76, we will leave the rest of the matter alone, let them fight to the death!" ”

At the same time, inside No. 23 Zhu Baoshan Road, Wang Hanmin and Wu Huarong were also talking in a low voice.

Wang Hanmin poured Wu Huarong a cup of tea and asked, "How is Wu Qing's injury recovering?" I don't have time to see him these days, you can bring it for me! ”

Luo Wuqing, the guard of the bureau, was Wu Huarong's deputy and the main force of the previous assassination team, but now the personnel of the assassination team have been lost, Luo Wuqing was seriously injured and was arranged to recuperate in a hidden place, and Wu Huarong and the two team members have always taken care of him.

Wu Huarong let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said: "He was too seriously injured this time, it is a blessing to be able to pick up a life, it is estimated that he will have to be recuperated for a while longer, but you don't have to worry, when he is better and able to walk, I will arrange for him to evacuate." ”

Wang Hanmin nodded, paused, and said again: "Huarong, until now, our losses are too great, have you ever thought that if we continue to fight like this, we will suffer too much, and we will definitely not be able to hold on, and the current personnel are also ineffective, there are losses in every operation, without professional training, we have blown ourselves up by making a blast, you must know that this will not happen at all before." ”

Wu Huarong looked up at Wang Hanmin and knew what he was going to say, but he didn't dare to say this, so he still wanted Wang Hanmin to speak.

Wang Hanmin continued: "To be honest, I really can't fight it!" I want to send a message to the bureau and ask for a break for a while, Hua Rong, can you sign together? ”

Wu Huarong did not answer directly, but picked up the tea, took a sip gently, drank the edge of the teacup lightly with both hands, and under Wang Hanmin's gaze, it took a long time before he spoke: "Brother Hanmin, I also know your difficulties, but you know the temper of the bureau, disobey the military order, fear the enemy, that is to be dealt with severely, never lenient, we jointly power the station, it will only make the bureau think that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, slack, and there will be endless troubles in the future!" ”

Of course, Wu Huarong will not be pulled over by Wang Hanmin in a few words, and he will easily open his eyes for him, the majesty of the bureau for many years has been solidified, how dare he lightly brush the tiger's beard.

However, he also knew that the Shanghai Station was at the end of the crossbow at this time, and it was really unbearable to fight for a long time, so he continued: "But..., my personnel have been lost, plus Wu Qing and I are only four people, and if we have spare strength but not enough strength, we will not participate in specific actions, Brother Hanmin, you can just make up your own mind." ”

Wang Hanmin's eyes lit up, and between Wu Huarong's words, the meaning was very clear, let Wang Hanmin handle affairs according to his own ideas, he would not secretly report to the bureau, you must know that Wu Huarong also has a radio station in his hand, which they brought with them when they chased Wang Reclamation all the way from Vietnam, and they could communicate with the headquarters at any time.

Hearing Wu Huarong's assurance, Wang Hanmin was relieved, if this was the case, his pressure would not be so great, at least he would not have to act so frequently, and the chance of an accident would be much smaller.
