Chapter 868: Return to Hong Kong
In the first-class cabin of the Italian ship "Sudana", Lu Xiyan told Meng Fanxing the news that "Zheng Yueru" was shot.
After listening to it, Meng Fanxing's eyes turned red on the spot.
Although Zheng Yueru is a member of the Central Commission for Discipline and according to her past identity, Zheng Yueru not only bet on the innocence of a young girl, but also lost her life in order to assassinate a big traitor like Ding Mo Village.
Such a young girl who dedicates her young life for the sake of national and national freedom is worthy of admiration.
"Meimei, the struggle is getting more and more cruel, we must be ready at any time." Lu Xiyan gently hugged Meng Fanxing into his arms.
"Otherwise, let's persuade Xiaohao and his father to go to the United States?" Meng Fanxing said.
Although this is a bit stance, this is human nature. No one wants the people closest to be hurt and stay and fight. It doesn't matter. There is no obligation to ask relatives to be afraid with them.
"Let's talk about it." Lu Xiyan said softly. Lao Mengtou is a family lover. He must bury his wife wherever he is buried. He would rather die than go to the United States.
As for Meng Hao, the two men's tempers are the same, how could he bear to go to the United States alone, the two close relatives, by their father and sister, to live his comfortable life?
No need to think about it.
However, if Xi Mengyao and her children were sent to the United States, he would have no objection.
On the afternoon of the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the ship docked at Victoria Harbor. Due to the monsoon and the ship is older, it is a little later than the scheduled time.
When the boat was waiting for the port, it was almost dark. Uncle Gui and Meng Hao who came to the port to pick up people had been waiting for nearly half a day.
Because almost the whole family was dispatched this time, Meng Hao and Uncle Gui drove over in a car, but they couldn't even get on, let alone salute.
So, I called a few rickshaws to take the whole family to my apartment in Hong Kong.
When Lu Xiyan bought a house, he bought a larger house and had many rooms. Therefore, there are many guest rooms at home and basically everyone can live in it.
It was already midnight after finally settling down.
"Mei Mei, I didn't come to Hong Kong for the New Year, but now I'm here again. There must be a lot of things at home that have not been prepared. You can check it out tomorrow. What are you missing? I'll buy it in the next two days. I'll go to the University of Hong Kong tomorrow."
"Well, go, don't worry about the family affairs. Let Xiaohao accompany you. He should be more familiar with Hong Kong than you." Meng Fanxing nodded.
"No need, I don't know you. Besides, this is not Shanghai, and no one knows me." Lu Xiyan smiled.
"Well, then be careful."
"Don't worry."
Of course, Lu Xiyan didn’t need to worry about safety, because Lao Song also came with him. Tomorrow he was not going to Hong Kong University at all, but to the Hong Kong Eighth Office.
This is a top-secret arrangement. Not to mention that Meng Fanxing can't reveal a word, even Lao Song doesn't know that Lao Song's mission is to accompany Lu Xiyan to Hong Kong and protect his safety along the way.
The next morning, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Lu Xiyan changed into a gray robe, a top hat, an old briefcase, and a black umbrella, and quietly left the house.
Lao Song was already waiting for him in a tea restaurant on the corner of the street.
"Sir, where are we going today?" Old Song didn't know Lu Xiyan's next itinerary, because he was only responsible for the guidance and safety today.
"Queen Avenue, go home." Lu Xiyan whispered.
"You are going..." Old Song was extremely excited and almost said the name of "Baoban".
"My man, let's have two bowls of wonton noodles, a basket of shrimp dumplings and char siu." Lu Xiyan greeted the guy, and Lu Xiyan still liked Cantonese morning tea.
After eating, Lu Xiyan settled the account, and Lao Song, the deputy chief, dressed up and followed Lu Xiyan to the West Kowloon Pier and boarded the passenger ship to Hong Kong Island.
In less than an hour, the boat arrived on the other side.
I took the tram and soon arrived at Queen's Avenue.
The 8th Office of Hong Kong originally said that "Yuehua" company was semi-public, but in March last year, the British Hong Kong authorities suddenly seized Yuehua company and detained the person in charge.
Later, after negotiations and bail, the British Hong Kong authorities released everyone and the seized documents. From then on, after learning from the lessons, the Eighth Office all moved to underground secret state.
That seizure was actually a bad move by the Chongqing National Government, and this is not the first time they have used the Hong Kong and British authorities.
After the "Yuehua" company was seized, Office 8 found a house on another site of Queen's Avenue and moved it into the underground.
This is an electrical appliance company.
"Hello, do you have your diode with a radio here?"
"Sir, what do you want this thing to do?" The guy's eyes immediately became alert. The diode is a component to assemble the radio station. Although this thing is not a prohibited product in Hong Kong, it is also strictly controlled.
"I have a radio in my house, which is from Shanghai brand. The diode is broken. I want to buy one and change it." Lu Xiyan explained.
"Shanghai brand, the specifications that the sir said were not available on the counter. Otherwise, I'll help you ask the boss?" The guy nodded.
"Okay, it's my best brother." Lu Xiyan clasped his fists, and the code words of the joint were considered to be in line with it.
After a while, the young man came out from behind: "Sir, the boss said that there seemed to be a second-hand Shanghai brand radio collected in his warehouse. I don't know if the diode inside is good. If it works well, this New Year's Day will be sold to you, but you just need to find it and take some time. Why don't you go in and sit for a while and have a cup of hot tea?"
"That's fine. We asked several companies, and their legs were broken. It's so lucky that you have this thing in your appliance company." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Two, please."
"Old He!"
"Brother Xiyan."
"Hahaha..." The two hugged each other excitedly.
"Long time no see, are you okay."
"It's okay, you are in Shanghai, that's the heart of the enemy. The pressure is more than we can fight, right?" He Zhi excitedly asked Lu Xiyan to sit down.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Besides, dancing on the tip of the knife is still very exciting."
"Haha, it's very romantic revolutionary spirit." He Zhi said seriously, "I don't have any ideas when I asked you to come to Hong Kong this time, right?"
"No, it's just that there are too many things in Shanghai, and I dare not leave easily. The Japanese Gendarmerie Special High School and No. 76 are watching now." Lu Xiyan said.
"This time I came to see you Mr. Xiao from the Southern Bureau. The Central Committee was very surprised and happy that you could open up such a big situation in Shanghai. The Chairman said at the intelligence meeting that you, a judge, can be inferior to a brigade or even a division of the Eighth Route Army!" Lao He said.
"The Chairman is so ridiculous. Compared with the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line, I did too insignificant." Lu Xiyan said a little embarrassedly.
"Did you know that Lao Jiang implemented an economic blockade on Yan'an, and we were forced to be self-reliant. Before, you made a batch of machinery and equipment, especially textile equipment, machine tools, and printing equipment, which helped the border area. Now one-quarter of the cloth in the border area is produced by these equipment. Also, the printing of currency in the border area, do you think your contribution is great?"
"Don't, Lao He, I'm embarrassed to say this." Lu Xiyan blushed. He disassembled and packed Xi Hongwei's cotton yarn company's equipment and smuggled it out of Shanghai and handed it over to the New Fourth Army. But I really don't know where these equipment went and what role it played.
As for printing equipment, it was made from him at a high price from the black market, which was considered outdated equipment, but for the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, which does not have printing currency equipment, these are different.
As for the medicines, food, cloth and even some weapons and ammunition provided by Lu Xiyan to the New Fourth Army, there is no need to say about these.
There is also the cooperation between Yunnan "Guanghua" Company and Hanoi Meng'an Company, a smuggling channel leading from the southwest to the Qinling Mountains and then to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
It can bring at least 200,000 oceans of profit to the border area every month.
This money greatly alleviated the financial shortage of the border areas.
"I won't list them all. Anyway, when you see Old Master Xiao, he will tell you." Old He smiled.
"When will Mr. Xiao meet me?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"When will it be convenient for you?" Lao He asked.
"I can do it anytime, it depends on Mr. Xiao's schedule?" Lu Xiyan said, "But I can't stay in Hong Kong for too long. In addition, Dai Yunong also knows that I'm coming to Hong Kong, and I don't know if he will fly to Hong Kong to see me. However, with his current identity, I'm afraid he won't come here."
"Well, what you analyzed is also reasonable. In this way, I will ask Mr. Xiao for instructions and then notify Lao Song of the specific time and ask him to contact you. How about it?" Lao He said.
"Yes, Lao Song knows my phone number." Lu Xiyan said.
"Okay, then let's do it first." Lao He ended the conversation, stood up, and held it tightly with Lu Xiyan.
"By the way, a while ago, Japanese agents in Hong Kong set their sights on your mansion in Kowloon. They must have discovered Xi Mengyao's identity. How do you deal with it?" He Zhi asked.
"It's okay, Mengyao is my wife's brother-in-law, and is from the Meng family. Although she is Xi Hongwei's daughter, if they know that Xi Mengyao is in Hong Kong, what if they know that Xi Mengyao is in Hong Kong?"
"I'm not afraid of them coming open, but I'm afraid they will attack Miss Mengyao in secret." He Zhi said worriedly.
"This is indeed a must-have, but after Mengyao gave birth, she basically never left home. Even if she went out, she would have someone to accompany her, so there would not be too much danger."
"Well, just be sure of it." He Zhi nodded.
Return to West Kowloon from Hong Kong Island.
Lu Xiyan saw a car coming to pick him up on the dock. It was Chu Ze who sent him to pick him up. When he left Queen's Avenue, he called.
"Old Song, you go back first, I have something to do." Lu Xiyan ordered.
Song Xin knew how much identity Lu Xiyan had. At this time, he was not suitable to follow him anymore, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Be careful sir."
