Chapter 2087 A Big Fish
"Is it him?" Qian Yuan stood at the window, lifted the curtain, and asked the person next to him.
"The brim of this person's hat is pulled very low, so it's not very clear, but I think it looks like him," Qu Yuan said in a low voice, holding the binoculars with both hands.
"He's got some nerve, daring to come back to Shanghai." Qian Yuan sneered. "If this person really is Song Fuguo, then he's a big fish."
"He seems to have realized something; our people are following him too closely," Qu Yuan said, frowning.
"Then let's just arrest him," Qian Yuan said after thinking for a moment. "Regardless of whether this person is Song Fuguo or not, we'll know once we arrest him and interrogate him."
"I think that's a good idea." Qu Yuan nodded. "Let's arrest them first, lest things get complicated."
"Catch them alive."
Qian Yuan waved his hand, and an agent from the Political Security Bureau immediately went downstairs.
After a burst of gunfire.
"Who told you to fire? Weren't we supposed to capture him alive?" Qu Yuan said angrily.
He glanced at the man and saw that although he had been shot and was unconscious, after checking him, he found that it was not in a vital area and that the man was still breathing, so he seemed to be out of danger. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Section Chief, the other side fired first."
"Why say so much? Get him to the hospital for emergency treatment first," Qian Yuan said. "Remember, surround the hospital completely. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to this person."
“I went to the hospital myself,” Qu Yuan said, squatting down to examine the injured man’s face, a smile spreading across his face. “It is indeed Song Fuguo.”
……
In a corner of an alley not far away, Feng Xiaowu watched helplessly as Song Fuguo was carried away injured.
"Brother Wu, why won't you let us rescue them?" one of his men asked anxiously.
Upon hearing the gunshots, they immediately came out to check the situation and found Song Fuguo surrounded by the enemy.
“It’s not that I don’t want to save Commander Song, it’s just that there’s no way to save him.” Feng Xiaowu said with a grim face, “There are dozens of them, and we only have three people and three guns. If we rush out, we’ll just be throwing our lives away.”
"The most urgent thing now is to report Commander Song's accident to our superiors." He glanced at the situation again, gritted his teeth, and said, "Withdraw!"
The three of them didn't dare go back to their hotel. Instead, they quickly packed their luggage and changed their lodgings.
……
chongqing.
No. 19, Luojiawan.
Qi Wu's expression changed drastically upon receiving the urgent telegram.
"Director, something's happened in Shanghai." He hurriedly found Dai Chunfeng to report the situation: "Song Fuguo has been arrested."
"What?" Dai Chunfeng's expression changed drastically, and he snatched the telegram from Qi Wu's hand.
The telegram was sent by Feng Xiaowu, Song Fuguo's subordinate and telegraph operator, reporting that Song Fuguo had been surrounded and captured by the enemy, shot, and then arrested.
"How did Song Fuguo get exposed?" Dai Chunfeng asked seriously. "Never mind, now is not the time to dwell on this. Call Xiao Mian immediately and tell him about the situation."
"Understood." Qi Wu nodded.
"Tell Xiao Mian to do everything in his power to rescue Song Fuguo," Dai Chunfeng said. After a pause, he added, "This matter will be handled entirely by Xiao Mian."
Qi Wu nodded. He understood what Dai Chunfeng meant. Rescue was necessary, but if it couldn't be done, then they would have to consider how to deal with the crisis.
……
Cheng Qianfan ate dinner at home.
Hearing the sound of vehicles outside the courtyard gate, he saw Li Hao rushing in. Seeing Li Hao's serious expression, his heart sank.
“Brother Fan,” Li Hao said.
"Let's talk in the study," Cheng Qianfan said, putting down his chopsticks, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Yes."
In the study on the second floor, Cheng Qianfan closed the door.
"Brother Fan, urgent telegram from Luojiawan." Li Hao handed the telegram to Brother Fan with both hands.
"How could this be!" Cheng Qianfan took the telegram, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.
The news that Song Fuguo had been arrested shocked him.
How did Song Fuguo get arrested?
The telegram came from Luojiawan, Chongqing. In it, Dai Chunfeng clearly explained that Song Fuguo's subordinates had reported to Chongqing, and Chongqing then relayed the information back to him.
This back-and-forth trip itself wasted time.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
For the sake of secrecy, only Song Fuguo himself could contact him. Although Song Fuguo's subordinates knew that Song Fuguo had important business in Shanghai, they knew nothing else.
"Brother Fan, this is troublesome," Li Hao said. "Commander Song knows our situation very well. Once he..."
Cheng Qianfan remained silent, his expression more solemn than ever before.
He understood what Li Hao meant.
Song Fuguo knew too much. He not only knew Li Hao's identity, but also the situation of Li Hao, Haozai, Mao Xuanyi, Wu Shunjia and others.
If Song Fuguo fails to withstand torture and betrays his cause, the entire high command of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau will be completely transparent to the enemy.
Of course, putting everything else aside, the biggest secret is that Song Fuguo knows his true identity.
"Don't panic," Cheng Qianfan said.
“I know Commander Song well. I believe in his loyalty to the country and the nation, and in his will to resist,” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Brother Fan, you taught me never to trust what might happen under torture,” Li Hao said.
“Yes, we should trust our comrades, but not the instruments of torture.” Cheng Qianfan sighed and said, “Commander Song taught me this.”
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Haozi, activate the Level 1 emergency response plan."
"A warning was sent to Haozai in Zhenjiang, telling him to be careful and be prepared to evacuate at any time."
"Notify Mao Xuanyi, Wu Shunjia, and others to use the top-level safe house and prepare for any contingencies."
"Also," he said, looking at Li Hao, "Haozi, you take a team to accompany Zhou Ru and the child, along with your sister-in-law, nephew, and niece. Xiao Bao and the others will leave Shanghai temporarily. Do not return to Shanghai unless I personally pick you up."
"Brother Fan!" Li Hao said anxiously.
"Let me finish what I have to say." Cheng Qianfan's expression was serious. "The situation is critical, and you should understand that this is a necessary response."
“Go to Kunshan. Jiang Luozi’s special operations team is there, as is Liao Yuanhua’s Loyal and Patriotic Army. If I don’t contact you for more than three days, you will personally lead the team to escort your family to Chongqing.” He told Li Hao, “That’s an order.”
"Brother Fan."
"This is an order."
"Yes!" Li Hao gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Don't worry, this is just a contingency plan. The situation may be better than we expected," Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice. "I am willing to trust Commander Song."
Li Hao nodded silently.
Cheng Qianfan left the study, stood at the top of the stairs, and called down, "Ruolan, come here for a moment."
……
"Go to Kunshan?" Bai Ruolan was stunned when she heard her husband say that, and at the same time, her heart skipped a beat.
“Yes, let’s go to Kunshan.” Cheng Qianfan nodded. “It’s too boring to stay in Shanghai all the time. You should take the children there to relax.”
"Zhou Ru and the child went over too?"
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
Bai Ruolan fell silent, staring at her husband for a long while, as if she had made up her mind. "Qianfan, there are some things I've always wanted to ask you, you know that."
Cheng Qianfan looked at his wife, and suddenly, he smiled.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Ruolan," he said softly. "All these years, I've kept it from you. I thought you would keep it to yourself and never ask."
Bai Ruolan's eyes were glistening with tears.
"Ruolan, there are many things I cannot say," Cheng Qianfan said, looking at his wife. "I can only say that I am a soldier of the Party and the State."
Bai Ruolan just looked at her husband, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you, Qianfan."
"I should be thanking you," Cheng Qianfan said. "Just follow Haozi's instructions for this operation."
"it is good."
“Of course, Haozi will inform you of the situation when necessary, and you can also offer your advice,” Cheng Qianfan said. He was very clear about his wife’s abilities, especially when it came to using his brain; Haozi might not be as capable as Bai Ruolan.
“Okay.” Bai Ruolan looked at her husband. “It’s very dangerous for you to stay in Shanghai, isn’t it?”
"Don't worry, it'll be alright," Cheng Qianfan said, putting his arm around his wife. "Everything will be fine."
"Hmm." Bai Ruolan gave a soft "hmm." She knew the situation must be extremely dangerous, otherwise her husband wouldn't have arranged for Haozi to leave Shanghai with his family.
However, she didn't say much. She knew that at this moment, obeying her husband's arrangements and not causing him any trouble was the greatest support she could give him.
……
76 Jessfield Road.
The Shanghai branch of the First Bureau of the Political Security Bureau.
"Is it confirmed to be Song Fuguo?" Wan Haiyang rushed into the office and immediately asked.
"Confirmed," Qu Yuan said. "Director, you know I have met Song Fuguo."
"That's great!" Wan Haiyang was overjoyed.
Song Fuguo was a veteran of the Shanghai station of the Lixingshe Special Service Department and one of the most important leaders of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Shanghai. Moreover, he was also a high-ranking official of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hong Kong station. He had a lot of secrets about the Military Intelligence Bureau in his mind.
In addition, Song Fuguo was a confidant of Dai Chunfeng. Over the years, he had been appearing and disappearing mysteriously, acting as a special envoy of the Military Intelligence Bureau, traveling around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui for Dai Chunfeng, and had a wealth of intelligence and personnel information about the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Furthermore, the fact that Song Fuguo appeared in Shanghai this time indicates that the Military Intelligence Bureau may be carrying out highly confidential operations in Shanghai.
"How is he?" Wan Haiyang asked.
“He was shot twice, but it’s not a big problem, and he’s not in any danger,” Qian Yuan said from the side. “He’s already in surgery. The doctor said the surgery isn’t difficult. After the bullets are removed, we can start questioning him as soon as he wakes up.”
"That's great!" Wan Haiyang rubbed his hands together excitedly.
He patted Qu Yuan on the shoulder, "Well done, I'll recommend you for commendation."
“Qu Yuan,” he said, then pointed to Qian Yuan, “You two bring enough men to keep a close watch on Song Fuguo at the hospital. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him.”
"clear."
"Yes!"
Qu Yuan and Qian Yuan left immediately.
……
"Director, congratulations, Director!" Qu Kairui said to Wan Haiyang, his eyes brimming with excitement. "We've caught a big fish!"
“It’s a big fish.” Wan Haiyang nodded with a smile. “As for how big this fish is, we’ll see if Song Fuguo will speak up.”
He looked at Qu Kairui and asked, "What do you think Song Fuguo is here for, suddenly appearing in Shanghai?"
“Song Fuguo is Dai Chunfeng’s absolute confidant. His coming to Shanghai must be on Dai Chunfeng’s orders, which means that the Military Intelligence Bureau has secret operations in Shanghai,” Qu Kairui said. As he spoke, his eyes lit up. “Director, Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian!”
"You suspect that Song Fuguo came to Shanghai to meet with Xiao Mian?" Wan Haiyang asked, his expression suddenly changing.
"Yes, Director, the Shanghai branch of the Military Intelligence Bureau has long been destroyed and is now history. The only Military Intelligence Bureau in Shanghai with the capability to carry out operations and pose a threat to us is Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau," Qu Kairui said. "No matter what the Military Intelligence Bureau wants to do in Shanghai, it can only be done by Xiao Mian's troops."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, “Director, there’s no doubt about it, Song Fuguo came to Shanghai to see Xiao Mian.”
Qu Kairui said to Wan Haiyang, "Director, as long as Song Fuguo speaks up, Xiao Mian will definitely not be able to escape this time!"
“That makes sense!” Wan Haiyang nodded excitedly and said, “That’s right, it’s Xiao Mian. Song Fuguo will definitely meet with Xiao Mian when he comes to Shanghai. Even if the Military Intelligence Bureau is going to carry out an operation, how could Song Fuguo not meet with Xiao Mian when he comes to Shanghai?”
"No, the hospital is still short-staffed," Wan Haiyang said in a deep voice. "Take another group of people over there. This time, the hospital absolutely cannot have any more incidents. Song Fuguo must be safe!"
"Understood." Qu Kairui knew the matter was of great importance and left immediately.
"Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian." Wan Haiyang paced back and forth in the empty office. "Li Cuiqun couldn't catch you, the Special Higher Police and the Military Police couldn't do anything to you either. This time, you've fallen into my hands!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
……
The next day.
morning.
21 Telstra Road.
The Shanghai branch of the Third Political Security Bureau.
Cheng Qianfan sat in a chair, resting with his eyes closed.
Music was playing from the gramophone, and his fingers tapped lightly on the desk in time with the music.
"Brother Fan," Hou Pingliang knocked on the door and called out.
"Come in."
"Brother Fan, I found out." Hou Pingliang said to Cheng Qianfan, "The Political Security Bureau did indeed take action yesterday. They arrested a person who was shot and is currently at Qimin Hospital."
"Where was the person arrested?" Cheng Qianfan opened his eyes and asked calmly.
“Bilige Road,” Hou Pingliang said, “Brother Fan, the Political Security Bureau is secretly arresting people on our territory. This is going too far.”
"Leaving aside whether they crossed the line or not," Cheng Qianfan frowned, "they arrested people on our territory, why haven't I heard any reports about it?"
His face was grim, and he slammed his hand on the table. "If it weren't for Tiger's tip-off, I would still be in the dark!"
"Brother Fan," Hou Pingliang said, his face somewhat embarrassed, "it was my dereliction of duty. I'll go investigate right away."
Biliglu was under his jurisdiction, and Fan Ge's questioning made him feel very embarrassed.
“Go check it out.” Cheng Qianfan nodded. “This incident has served as a wake-up call for you. You never seem to know what you’re busy with all day. I’m getting deaf.”
"I'll go right away."
"Wait a minute," Cheng Qianfan called out, "Call Lao Jiu here."
