Chapter 1993 The First Car Arrives
Number 6, Shipopo Temple, was the secret residence carefully chosen by my elder brother, Lu Xingge.
After arriving in Nanjing, Taozi settled down here.
Now that he was in Nanjing, Cheng Qianfan naturally wanted to meet with Qiao Chuntao in secret.
After Taozi took over the Nanjing station of the Special Operations Department, following his instructions, the station did not act rashly but focused on stabilizing the situation.
With the establishment of Wang Jingwei's traitorous regime, and especially with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and their rapid advance in Southeast Asia, their arrogance grew to a certain extent, which fostered the power of the traitorous surrender faction.
A wave of surrenders swept across the country. Although those who surrendered and became traitors were wavering factions with wavering will to resist the Japanese, it was still a very bad phenomenon.
Under this trend of surrender, especially with the Japanese propaganda promoting their invincibility, all sorts of nobodies and crooks have emerged.
It wasn't just in Nanjing; there were also reports in Shanghai that some greedy citizens, driven by greed, reported the Japanese to the authorities in exchange for a reward.
In response, Cheng Qianfan was highly vigilant and ordered Shanghai and Nanjing to prioritize stability, conduct internal self-examination and rectification, and strictly prevent the poisoning of surrender mentality.
……
South Bridgehead.
Qiao Chuntao held the binoculars with both hands, staring in the direction of Granny Shi's Temple.
"Station Chief," Ma Benze said anxiously, "your sister-in-law hasn't come out yet. Could she be tied up by the enemy?"
He looked at Qiao Chuntao and said, "I'll go and meet her."
“No.” Qiao Chuntao shook her head. “If she comes out on her own, the enemy may not be suspicious. But if someone comes to meet her, the enemy will immediately become alert.”
“But…” Ma Benzhe said, “It’s too dangerous for my sister-in-law to be pregnant.”
“This is an order,” Qiao Chuntao said with a serious expression.
Yes, Xia Xiaoying is pregnant.
How could Qiao Chuntao not worry and care about his wife? However, as the station chief of the Nanjing station of the Special Affairs Department, while others could be chaotic, he had to remain calm at all times.
"Is Ada in position yet?" Qiao Chuntao asked Ma Benzhe.
“They’re all in position,” Ma Benz said. “Once we make a call here, Ada will notify Cai Tou to take action.”
Qiao Chuntao nodded and didn't say anything more.
……
“They’re out,” Xue Yongze suddenly said to Mutou Yuichi.
Yuichi Muto immediately set up his binoculars to look.
I saw Tao Peipei standing at the door, locking the door, and then going out with a vegetable basket on her arm.
He frowned slightly, then set up his binoculars and looked at the chimney, where he saw that it was still emitting smoke.
“The chimney is still smoking, so she can’t be too far from home.” Muto Yuichi looked at Xue Yongze and asked, “Where do you think Tao Peipei is going right now?”
“She was carrying a vegetable basket,” Xue Yongze said after thinking for a moment. “There are vegetable vendors near the south end of the bridge, so she was probably there to buy vegetables.”
"Going grocery shopping now?" Yuichi Muto raised his wrist to check the time.
"Sir, you may not know this, but those vegetable stalls at the south end of the bridge are run by a few local farmers. They close up shop as soon as they sell out each day," Xue Yongze explained. "If you go too late, there won't be any left."
"We found him inside." Muto Yu nodded.
This is the advantage of having Xue Yongze, a local resident. He is very familiar with the surrounding terrain, environment, and residents, and can provide as much detailed information as possible.
……
Shanghai.
"Comrade Su Zhe has sacrificed his life." Shen Lixuan said to Comrade Yi Jun with a sorrowful expression.
"I already know about this." Comrade Yi Jun nodded solemnly. "Comrade Su Zhe chose to commit suicide to avoid falling into enemy hands."
"It's Cheng Qianfan again!" Shen Lixuan said through gritted teeth. "He killed Su Zhe. This is another blood debt committed by Cheng Qianfan, that traitor and sellout."
"These traitors who have forgotten their ancestors, betrayed their country and nation, and harmed their compatriots who fought against the Japanese will be punished sooner or later," Comrade Yi Jun said.
"Minister Yi," Shen Lixuan said, "I don't want to hear that anymore, and neither do the comrades."
Comrade Yi Jun looked at Shen Lixuan and could guess what the comrade was about to say, so he did not stop him from speaking.
……
"I request the organization to order an operation to eliminate the traitor Cheng Qianfan," Shen Lixuan said.
“Lixuan,” Comrade Yi Jun said, “you should know that some comrades have proposed several times to carry out an operation to eliminate Cheng Qianfan’s traitors, but none of them have been approved.”
“I know.” Shen Lixuan nodded. “I don’t understand why we didn’t approve the killing of Cheng Qianfan, a traitor and executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of his comrades.”
He became somewhat agitated and gestured to Comrade Yi Jun to let him finish speaking.
“The reason why the organization previously did not approve of taking action against this person was that Cheng Qianfan was a high-ranking police officer in the French Concession. Eliminating Cheng Qianfan would provoke the anger of the French Concession authorities, which would be detrimental to our infiltration and anti-Japanese struggle in the French Concession,” Shen Lixuan said.
"However, the French Concession is now defunct in name only. The Japanese and the Wang Jingwei regime have taken over the administrative and law enforcement powers of the French Concession. Cheng Qianfan is no longer the deputy chief inspector of the French Concession Central Police Station. He is now the head of the Special Police Department of the Wang Jingwei Police Bureau."
"He was the director of the Wang Jingwei regime's police station in Shanghai and the secretary of the Wang Jingwei regime's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing. Such a die-hard traitor..." Shen Lixuan became more and more agitated as he spoke.
“In that case, the previous reason for not taking action against Cheng Qianfan no longer exists.” He looked at Comrade Yi Jun with an extremely serious expression and said, “Minister Yi, I request the organization’s approval to take action against the die-hard traitor Cheng Qianfan.”
“You should be familiar with Cheng Qianfan’s situation,” Comrade Yi Jun said. “He is extremely afraid of death and has many bodyguards. It’s not easy to take action against him.”
"I'll do it!" Shen Lixuan said happily as he heard Yi Jun's tone soften. "I request to carry out this mission to eliminate traitors."
"Don't rush, I didn't say I agreed." Comrade Yi Jun shook his head and said.
……
Nanjing.
pontoon.
"Stationmaster, your wife is here." Ma Benze handed the binoculars to Qiao Chuntao and said happily.
Qiao Chuntao raised her binoculars and looked into the distance, where she saw Xia Xiaoying carrying a vegetable basket walking towards the south end of the bridge.
Along the way, some neighbors would greet his wife, and she would stop to chat with them; everything was so natural.
He nodded to himself; his wife's calmness reassured him considerably.
It was at this moment that he set up his binoculars and looked in the direction of his front door.
Suddenly.
Qiao Chuntao's eyes narrowed.
Through the binoculars, a man with a full beard and wearing a straw hat could be seen walking towards the Stone Granny Temple in the distance.
Despite the man's disguise, Qiao Chuntao recognized him as Cheng Qianfan at a glance.
Or to be more precise, this is a seat.
At this critical and dangerous moment, why is the Director-General not at home counting his money? What's he doing here? What trouble is he causing?!
Peach was extremely anxious and even complained, which was rare for her.
