Although Lao Hou went to Jianzhong Trading Company to find Hu Yongqiang openly, he still made a special observation downstairs in Jianzhong Trading Company, and only went upstairs after not finding any suspicious personnel.

Hu Yongqiang was a little surprised by Lao Hou's sudden visit. He believed that now that the Japanese had given up tracking and monitoring him, it was still not appropriate for them to come into contact with the comrades in the party, especially the old Hou, who was currently the main person in charge of the underground party organization in Stone Town, and should not take the risk of coming to see him.

After Hu Yongqiang introduced Lao Hou into the inner office, Hu Yongqiang asked with a smile: "Oh, it's Boss Hou." Rare guests, what kind of wind blew you into my little temple today? ”

Hu Yongqiang gave Lao Hou a look while greeting him, and at the same time took a pen and paper on the desk in front of him, and wrote: "I'm worried about not being safe to talk here, why don't we go out and talk in another place?" ”

After writing, Hu Yongqiang handed the paper to Lao Hou. Lao Hou took a look, nodded to Hu Yongqiang, and said with a smile: "Today, Hou came to find Manager Hu, because he wanted to ask about some tea transportation." It's almost noon, and Manager Hu hasn't had lunch yet, right? It just so happened that I didn't eat either, Manager Hu picked a place, I was the east, let's talk about business matters. ”

Hu Yongqiang happily accepted the invitation: "That's okay, since Boss Hou has a treat, of course Hu can't help but give this face, then go to a pot of spring." ”

So the two of them left Jianzhong Trading Company with a smile, went downstairs to recruit a rickshaw, and went straight to a pot of spring restaurant. On the road, Lao Hou and Hu Yongqiang were secretly paying attention to whether there was a 'tail' behind them, and what made them feel relieved was that there was no abnormality behind them.

After arriving at a pot of spring restaurant, Lao Hou opened a private room on the second floor, ordered wine and food, and waited until the wine and food were served before Lao Hou closed the door of the private room and sat next to Hu Yongqiang.

Hu Yongqiang complained a little: "Old Hou, it's too risky for you to come to Jianzhong Trading Company today." Although it now seems that the Japanese have ended tracking and monitoring me, we cannot afford to take any chances, and I am worried that the Japanese have installed bugs in my office. And you are the person in charge of the underground party organization in Stone Town, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big loss to our party. ”

Lao Hou said helplessly: "I already know that the Japanese have stopped tracking and monitoring you, and Comrade Li Yixin has already brought me a letter through a secret channel, so I dare to come to Jianzhong Trading Company directly to find you." According to Comrade Li Yixin's report, Yuan Shiheng has been secretly arrested as an 'owl' by Japan's special high school. However, it is quite strange that Comrade Li Yixin is still secretly followed and monitored by the Japanese. In view of this, the organization believes that in order to be in case of emergency, it is prepared to let you, Comrade Mu Qingwan and Comrade Che Mei temporarily evacuate Stone Town to the base area first. ”

Hu Yongqiang asked in surprise, "What?" Organizationally, let's evacuate the three of Stone Town? Could it be that the Japanese are still suspicious of Comrade Li Yixin? If this is the case, once we leave Stone Town, won't it just so that the Japanese will think that Comrade Li Yixin has a problem? Wouldn't that be inappropriate? ”

Lao Hou explained: "Now that the party organization has tried to let the Japanese get the evidence that Yuan Shiheng is an 'owl', and he deliberately let the Japanese out of the news from different channels, it can now be said that the Japanese will not connect the 'owl' with Comrade Li Yixin at all." However, because the Japanese have not lifted the follow-up and surveillance measures against Comrade Li Yixin, the reason is still unclear to the party organization. Just in case, I will first withdraw the three of you from Stone Town, and once the Japanese want to attack Comrade Li Yixin, I will find a way to help Comrade Li Yixin evacuate at that time. You should know that the difficulty of evacuating one person is very different from evacuating four, which is why the organization wants the three of you to evacuate first. Moreover, since Comrade Mu Qingwan is nominally Comrade Li Yixin's wife, the excuse for the three of you to leave Stone Town together can be said to be that Comrade Mu Qingwan wants to go to other cities to visit relatives, and the road is not very smooth, so Comrade Li Yixin will let you and Comrade Che Mei follow for protection. Such an excuse is reasonable and does not make the Japanese have any bad associations. ”

Hu Yongqiang accepted Lao Hou's explanation and arrangement, and he understood that if things really developed in the worst direction, what Lao Hou said was very reasonable.

So he nodded and replied, "Since the party organization has made a decision, then I accept it." ”

Lao Hou continued: "Since the Japanese are still spying on Comrade Li Yixin, it is not easy for me to meet Comrade Li Yixin directly, so please inform Comrade Li Yixin of this decision, and ask him to implement this decision of the party organization. After all, the Japanese know about your relationship with Comrade Li Yixin, and there is a reasonable reason for you to go to Li Yixin's house. ”

"Understood, I'm going to his house tonight to tell him about the organization's decision. So when are the three of us leaving Stone Town? Who do you contact after leaving Stone Town? Hu Yongqiang asked.

Lao Hou replied: "The day after tomorrow, you will leave Stone Town and go to Baimadu in the west of the city, and I will arrange for the comrades who will pick you up by rowing boats to meet you." You have met the comrades who came to meet you before, the comrades who used to pick up the goods from Baimadu, and they will escort you to the base area. ”

After talking about all the business, Hu Yongqiang and Lao Hou immediately began to eat, and soon finished eating and left a pot of spring restaurant.

In the evening, Hu Yongqiang waited until Li Yixin went home from work and went to Li Yixin's residence in Sanguantang again, and conveyed Lao Hou's instructions to Li Yixin in the form of a pen talk.

Li Yixin didn't expect Lao Hou to make such an arrangement after he reported the situation through Lao Wu, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded and agreed to do what Lao Hou wanted.

After agreeing with Hu Yongqiang to set off the day after tomorrow, Hu Yongqiang left Sanguantang Street. And Li Yixin immediately called Mu Qingwan and Che Mei to the study on the second floor, and also informed them in a written conversation that they were going to temporarily evacuate Stone City with Hu Yongqiang, and at the same time brought the money that Hideki Nomura had deposited with him and all the money he had withdrawn from Jianzhong Trading Company to the base area as funds.

In order to make the performance more realistic, so that the Japanese would not suspect the excuse of leaving relatives, Li Yixin also asked Mu Qingwan to go to the street tomorrow to buy some gifts for relatives.

Mu Qingwan and Che Mei knew that this was a decision made by Lao Hou, and they could only implement it unconditionally. It's just that letting Li Yixin stay alone in Stone Town to continue to deal with the Japanese makes them all a little worried.

Li Yixin saw their worries, smiled confidently, and wrote on the paper, so that they understood that this was an organizational decision, and as for himself, he still had the opportunity to continue to deal with the Japanese for the time being. Because the Japanese have not taken any coercive measures against him so far, it is enough to show that the Japanese special high school is a little suspicious of him at most, and even tracking and monitoring is only a measure to prevent it from happening.

Just as Li Yixin was conveying Lao Hou's decision to Mu Qingwan and Che Mei, the 'bodyguard' also received a telegram from Deputy Director Ye at his residence.
