Chapter 413: Joints
"Xiao He, where is the madam?" In the morning, Lu Xiyan and Ma Xiaowu went out for a while and came back. They found that Meng Fanxing was not at home, so they asked.
"Sir, Madam answered a call and went out." He Xiaofen replied.
"Didn't your wife say where to go?"
"No, I went out with A Xiang." He Xiaofen said.
"I know if I went out with A Xiang." Lu Xiyan nodded. Since A Xiang followed, there was no need to worry about safety issues. In broad daylight, no one in the French Concession dared to touch Lu Xiyan's woman.
"Sir, I'm back." Ma Xiaowu came in and explained.
"Well, go and come back early, and say hello to your parents for me." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Okay, sir."
Ma Xiaowu drove away. Today Lu Xiyan was resting at home without a car. Ma Xiaowu went home to visit his parents and young brother and needed a car.
Lu Xiyan went back to the study room upstairs to continue his doctoral thesis.
...
"Hello Aunt." Meng Fanxing came upstairs. The one who opened the door was Lan Liying's mother. After the old man was hospitalized last year, he was in poor health and almost kept at home, and he rarely went downstairs.
Meng Fanxing also lost money to help her. Otherwise, Lan Liying would not be able to afford her mother's medical expenses and nutrition with her little salary.
In addition, her own expenses are not small, so she is often very tight.
Meng Fanxing's help was not directly paid, so Lan Liying would not accept it. Lan Liying was not only her private family teacher (English), but also worked as an English translation work for Anping Company. Her monthly salary is no longer much higher than her salary for her customs job.
That's it. My mother's monthly medical expenses account for a very large proportion. If it weren't for the reduction in interpersonal communication, I guess there would be no surplus every month.
"Meimei is here, come in quickly, Xiaoying is out to buy breakfast, and will be back soon." Lan Liying's mother hurriedly greeted Meng Fanxing in warmly.
I come here often, and I have been familiar with it for a long time.
The old man is very kind, but he suffered too much when he was young, and his health would be poor when he was old. If he hadn't been nourished by medicine, he would have probably left.
"Thank you aunt."
Meng Fanxing didn't wait long before Lan Liying came back from outside. The breakfast she bought was not because she was lazy and did not fire at home, but because her mother liked to eat tofu brains in a street corner. So, as long as she wanted to eat, she bought it for the elderly almost every day.
"Meimei, are you here?"
"Sister Liying, when I received your call, I rushed over." Meng Fanxing stood up from the sofa and said.
"Mom, I bought you the tofu brain. You can eat it while it's hot. I'll tell Meimei something." After giving instructing, Lan Liying took Meng Fanxing's hand into the small study room and took the door with her.
"Comrade Meng Fanxing."
When Meng Fanxing heard the word "comrade", he couldn't help but sting his face and became serious, which shows that Lan Liying was talking about the matter next.
"Sister Liying, what's the matter?"
"I received a telegram from my hometown last night. After research and decision, my hometown agreed to follow Lu Xiyan to Hong Kong, but after getting there, I need to obey the organization's arrangements." Meng Fanxing said.
“Is there a mission?”
Meng Fanxing was surprised.
"I don't know this, this is the code and location of the joint." Lan Liying took out a note full of numbers and handed it over.
Meng Fanxing took a look and knew that this was a separate secret message from her hometown. She had an independent codebook that she could control alone, and Lan Liying didn't know.
"I understand, Sister Liying." Meng Fanxing put away the notes and said, "During the time when I was not here, you are the only one in Shanghai. You must be careful."
"Don't worry." Lan Liying nodded.
"It's the New Year. In two days, I'll ask A Xiang to give you some New Year's goods. Don't refuse. The relationship between our sisters cannot be measured by a little money." Meng Fanxing said.
"Okay, then I can have a comfortable Spring Festival." Lan Liying smiled happily.
"I'll leave first."
"I'll give you it." Lan Liying stood up and said.
...
Tisler Cafe.
"Old Hu, why did you choose to meet in this place? Isn't it too conspicuous?" Lu Xiyan came up and saw Hu Yunzhi at a glance. Today he was wearing a suit, which looked like a successful person in the upper class.
"Aren't we partners? If we have this relationship, there will be so many taboos in the future." Hu Yunzhi said with a smile.
"Then you don't have to be so arrogant, right?" Lu Xiyan said.
"We just meet and have some coffee. We have normal social activities, openness and slimness, and it will make people suspicious." Hu Yunzhi's way.
Lu Xiyan nodded. He still hadn't changed from his past relationship. Since he was a friend and a partner, it was normal for him to have a date for a few days.
Thinking needs to change with relationships.
"You asked me out, I won't just drink coffee like this, right?" Lu Xiyan picked up the cup and took a sip. The bitter taste stimulated the taste buds, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Of course there is something wrong. The organization agreed to go to Hong Kong to celebrate the Spring Festival. In addition, the superiors also felt that it was very necessary for you to go to Yunnan to conduct a secret inspection from the coastal defense aisle. The leader praised you for your strategic vision!" Hu Yunzhi's way.
"I just want to open up more channels for smuggling materials, which is not as exaggerated as you said." When Lu Xiyan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"The specific itinerary will be decided after you arrive in Hong Kong and meet the comrades there." Hu Yunzhi's way.
"Um."
Lu Xiyan nodded. Now it is just an idea. If it really happens, there is still a lot of preparations to be done. At least the route needs to be planned in advance.
"I'm going to Hong Kong and want to meet Dai Yunong. Have you reported to your superiors?"
"I said that, the organizational analysis, Dai Yunong saw you, first of all, to meet you, a top medical student who has returned from studying abroad, to show your friendship and to win you over. In addition, he values your relationship overseas, especially the channels for smuggling drugs. Chongqing also attaches great importance to this, because it concerns the lives of anti-Japanese soldiers ahead. Dai Yunong also wants to pave the way for him through the pharmaceutical business and master more political resources." Hu Yunzhi's Way.
"There is another question. I am not a member of the Kuomintang. What should I do if Dai Yunong wants me to join the Kuomintang?"
"Didn't you join the Military Control Commission?"
"I don't necessarily have to be a member of the Kuomintang. Besides, I became a monk halfway through the road, unlike those people, Tang Jin mentioned it to me, but I kept ruthless and said that I was unwilling to intervene in party disputes. The reason why I joined the Military Affairs Bureau was half for fighting Japan and saving the country, and half for revenge."
"So that's the case. I can't answer you. However, if Dai Yunnong asks, you can also say the same thing. At least you can delay it for a while and then give a reply." Hu Yunzhi's words.
"Okay, let's not talk about this issue for now. Have you reported to your superiors the information mentioned to me before?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Your intelligence superiors attach great importance to it. After our investigation and other information channels are comprehensively judged, the Japanese army may have to attack Hainan."
"Hainan is our only channel to sea. Once occupied by the Japanese army, our port will be completely blocked. Moreover, if the Japanese army builds airports and ports in Hainan, the South Asian continent will pose a substantial threat. In this way, the overseas aid channels will be left by land. The transportation conditions on the land are too poor, and they are all controlled by Britain and France..." Lu Xiyan's forehead was sweating.
"It's useless for us to be anxious. The information provided by Jiang Jiang has always been discounted, not to mention that if we are dispatching troops now, it's too late to get up. People have already prepared and can launch an attack at any time!" Hu Yunzhi's way.
"Oh..." Lu Xiyan sighed. It was all because of his poor country and weak family. How could he bully him, he didn't even have the strength to fight back.
"It's better to do your best to be destined to be destined to be better than to know nothing and suddenly be beaten to the door." Hu Yun's way.
“Drink coffee.”
"By the way, there is another thing I have to tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared." Hu Yunzhi took a sip of coffee, put down his cup and said.
"What's up?"
"Maybe you have to ask you to help bring something to Hong Kong." Hu Yunzhidao.
"Take something, what?" Lu Xiyan asked strangely.
"I don't know very well what it is at the moment. In short, it is a very important thing." Hu Yunzhi said solemnly.
"I don't even know?"
"I just received a notice, and I don't know anything else." Hu Yunzhi said, "Also, your wife Meng Fanxing is also our comrade, right?"
"How do you know?" Lu Xiyan said in surprise. Only "Old Li" has the secret. Although Hu Yunzhi is also his own comrade, he and Meng Fanxing are two lines and do not have cross-connections.
According to the rules, it is impossible and not allowed to know Meng Fanxing's identity.
"So, do you know?" Lu Xiyan opened his mouth and was surprised to arrive.
"If it weren't for her notification, how could the organization agree to our marriage?" Lu Xiyan said, "But she doesn't know my identity yet."
"She doesn't know your identity?" Hu Yunzhi felt that his mind was a little confused.
"Comrade Lao Li once asked me if I should explain my identity to her. My final choice is not to say it for the time being. Although we all work for the party, we are two different lines after all, and concealing it from her is also a kind of protection. How do you know?" Lu Xiyan was concerned about this issue.
"The organization decided that during the period when you and Meng Fanxing went to Hong Kong, I would temporarily take over her job and return it to her after she came back." Hu Yunzhi said, "That's why my superiors told me her identity."
"So, do you want to contact her?" Lu Xiyan said strangely.
"Yes, I'm about tomorrow, Mingde Bookstore on Xiafei Road." Hu Yunzhidao.
"If you contact her, she will know your identity immediately, and I have a cooperative relationship with you, so it is hard to guarantee that she will not guess our relationship." Lu Xiyan said.
"What do you mean is to continue to hide from her?" Hu Yunzhi said.
"Well, are your joints necessary?"
"Yes, we have to hand over the work, of course it is necessary." Hu Yunzhi's way.
"In this way, you find a church, pretend to be a priest, and ask her to go to the confession room to get in touch with you. As long as you meet a secret code, you can hand over the work without meeting." Lu Xiyan said.
"This is a solution, but I am not a clergyman?" Hu Yunzhi said.
