Chapter 129: The Storm Rises Again
"Lao Xu, I said, do you underground party treat me as a stupid child? Now there are Japanese and their spies everywhere outside, not to mention helping you save people, I just go out for a walk, maybe I can attract the spies to peep and track, you are very immortal, right? Xu Huanshan came to visit early in the morning, and Lu Yuan knew that things were going wrong, he just didn't expect that the matter of Kwai Yuan would be so big.
Xu Huanshan, who couldn't think of any other way, obviously identified Lu Yuan, no matter how Lu Yuan ridiculed himself, Xu Huanshan only had one request, asking Lu Yuan to help him save people again. "The Japanese arrested several of our comrades last night, and one of them was a senior confidential officer who knew a lot of secrets about our Shanghai underground party, and if the Japanese found out his identity, our situation would be even more dangerous, so I would like to ask you to help us again anyway, one last time."
Xu Huanshan's expression was already full of despair in Lu Yuan's opinion, so it was difficult for Lu Yuan to refuse. "Let me think about it carefully, this matter must be cautious, this is not as simple as a few of us smearing and stealing other people's cigarettes." Lu Yuan did not immediately refuse to return to the mountain, but he also did not agree happily. "The Japanese reacted so quickly, obviously because the incident in Kwai Yuan touched them, and I guess that the Japanese locked up the arrested people in Kwai Yuan again, maybe this is a trap, waiting for you to save people."
Lu Yuan's analysis is not unreasonable, but Xu Huanshan knows that he must take this step, and once that high-ranking confidential officer cannot withstand the severe torture of the Japanese to extract a confession, the painstaking operation of the Shanghai underground party for so many years may be ruined in one fell swoop. "Lao Xu, let me tell you a way, don't be angry." Lu Yuan looked at Xu Huanshan with a smile, "I have a way to do it once and for all, since you are afraid of the defection of that confidential officer, it is better to kill him directly, it is better to kill one person than to step on the trap set by the Japanese one after another." ”
Lu Yuan's words smashed into Xu Huanshan's heart like a thunderbolt, although he had always been worried that the confidential officer would not be able to withstand the torture of the Japanese, but after all, it was his own comrades, and he had a black hand against his comrades. Lu Yuan had been observing Xu Huanshan's expression, and seeing that cold sweat had broken out on Xu Huanshan's forehead, Lu Yuan grinned, "Whether to die one or a bunch, you decide for yourself." I'll make a plan here when you've decided, but don't expect too much from me. ”
When Lu Yuan said this, it could be regarded as a little ruthless, but Xu Huanshan couldn't get angry or complain, because he understood that what Lu Yuan said was not wrong, there was a difference between dying one and dying a bunch. Unable to hear a specific answer from Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan had to return to the meeting place he had made with his superiors, and Xu Huanshan's superiors had no way to make up their minds for a while about Lu Yuan's suggestion, because they did not know whether the confidential officer would definitely succumb to the torture of the Japanese.
"Boss, if you want me to say, you don't have to be involved in their affairs at all, Luca has already called, and in four days, there will be a cruise ship from Shanghai to the Mediterranean." After sending Xu Huanshan away, Lu Yuan didn't even warm up the sofa, and Shu Heman walked out of the corner of the hall out of nowhere, obviously, he had heard why Xu Huanshan came here. Schuchmann's words were not very clear, but Lu Yuan already understood what he meant, and Schuchmann didn't want to make other messes before rushing to Germany.
Regarding Schuchman's vague reminder, Lu Yuan could only smile bitterly, "Schuchman, they are my compatriots, as long as they are people or forces that sincerely resist the Japanese army, they are all my allies." Lu Yuan's answer was also full of wit, and Shu Heman, who was not very proficient in Chinese, patiently covered his head and pondered for a while before he understood the meaning of Lu Yuan's words. Schuchman, I will help them, but it must be done in my way. ”
Lu Yuan had already expressed his meaning with certainty, and Shu Heman, who was a bystander, could only shrug his shoulders and say that he was not paying attention to this matter, because he knew that Lu Yuan would never let himself interfere in this matter. Lu Yuan really didn't plan to involve Schuchman in this matter, this was not because he was afraid that Schuchman would leak the news, but because he didn't want Schuchman to change his mind about immigrating to the United States because of his involvement in this matter, Schuchman and Hogg helped him a lot in Nanjing, and Lu Yuan hoped that they would end well.
I don't know how Xu Huanshan discussed with his superiors after he went back, but it wasn't until lunch that Xu Huanshan called and informed Lu Yuan to meet at the agreed café in the afternoon. Lu Yuan didn't shirk it, and after explaining to Schuhman to take care of the house, Lu Yuan went to the café agreed with Xu Huanshan alone. "Hello, I'm Cao Chen, and Lao Xu and I are colleagues." Lu Yuan rushed to the café, but did not see Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuan, who had already been mentally prepared, was not surprised, so he ordered a cup of coffee and waited quietly, until a middle-aged man took the initiative to walk to his table.
Lu Yuan ignored the other party's outstretched right hand, just glanced up at the other party, and then motioned for the other party to take a seat with his eyes. "You should know, I don't have a very familiar relationship with your underground party, I only deal with Xu Huanshan. I don't know who you are, and I don't know what your relationship with Xu Huanshan is, I only have one question now, what kind of result do you want for the incident that Xu Huanshan said? ”
Lu Yuan was very rude at the moment, and his words were full of impatience, but the middle-aged man named Cao Chen always had a smile on his face, and his face did not change at all because of Lu Yuan's impatience. After sitting down opposite Lu Yuan according to Lu Yuan's instructions, Cao Chen smiled at Lu Yuan and said, "The stakes are very high, after Lao Xu brought your intentions back, after some discussion, we still hope to save them alive, after all, they are all our comrades." ”
Lu Yuan shook his head and replied, "Impossible, this time is different from last night, last night was to save people, and this time it is likely to be a trap set by the Japanese." My ability is limited to be able to sabotage the plans of the Japanese in a row, and if your final decision is that you must rescue people, with all due respect, it is likely that even those who rushed to save them will fall into the hands of the Japanese. My ability is limited, and I don't dare to participate in such a thing. ”
Lu Yuan made a gesture to get up and leave, but was stopped by the other party's words, "Mr. Lu, Lao Xu said that you are very good at you, and you are the most powerful one among the people he has ever seen, if you also say that you can't do it, I think no one else in Shanghai can do it." Cao Chen, who stopped Lu Yuan, praised Lu Yuan very much, but Lu Yuan didn't eat him, and when Cao Chen chattered, Lu Yuan's attention was focused on the coffee cup in his hand.
Lu Yuan's meaning has been expressed very clearly, but Cao Chen still wants to persuade Lu Yuan to participate in this matter and rescue all the underground party members who were captured by the Japanese, Lu Yuan is very annoyed by this. "Mr. Cao, don't say that you will pay me a gratuity, even if you don't give money, I will be obligated as a Chinese to help my compatriots. But this is not to be confused with what you said, I can't know it's a trap and dive headlong into it, it's impossible. ”
Lu Yuan got up and stood up, ignoring Cao Chen's obstruction, and left the café without looking back. Lu Yuan's departure finally made Cao Chen's eyes show annoyance, but he was also helpless, in fact, he had no confidence in the action of rescuing all the captured people. Lu Yuan, who left the café, walked aimlessly along the street with the flow of people, and from time to time he would use the shop window on the street to observe whether anyone was following him, he didn't want to take his tail back to his residence.
Although he didn't find anyone behind him, Lu Yuan still found a lot of traitor agents serving the Japanese on the full-view map, and even in Hansen's bar, there were traitor agents. Lu Yuan originally planned to go to Hansen to sell those special high school file materials that were useless to him, but in this situation, Lu Yuan knew that he had to stay away from Hansen's bar for the time being, otherwise he would be targeted by those secret agents.
Fortunately, there was still a Shuchman by Lu Yuan's side, and after returning to the residence, Lu Yuan handed over a few files to Shuchman to take to Hansen, a blonde guy haunted the bar, and it shouldn't attract the attention of those spies. "Lu, I knew that you must have done that thing, and you were too careless, you know, you stabbed the hornet's nest this time." Less than half an hour after Schuhman left the residence, Lu Yuan received a call from Hansen, and on the phone, Hansen praised Lu Yuan fiercely.
As a senior intelligence dealer in the black market, Hansen was very satisfied with the special high school files sent by Schuhman, and after learning that Lu Yuan still had a large number of special high school files in his hand, Han Sen hurriedly demanded that Lu Yuan must keep these things and hand them over to himself to deal with. "Hansen, you know, we're friends and great partners. As long as I want no problems with the bullets for the large-caliber heavy machine gun, I promise you that I will leave it all to you, and I will pay you very little. ”
As a reward for Lu Yuan, Hansen also boasted to Lu Yuan that he would go to Haikou and promise to get two authentic American M2 heavy machine guns for Lu Yuan before May.
The unexpected benefits from Hansen made Lu Yuan very satisfied with last night's trip to Kwai Yuan, but the world is impermanent, and Lu Yuan just hung up the phone when he received a call from Xu Huanshan. Xu Huanshan's voice sounded unusually heavy on the phone, because the Japanese in Kwai Yuan had already begun to kill people, and half of the dozen or so people captured by the underground party had already been executed, leaving Xu Huanshan with little time left.
