Chapter forty-seven situation four
Since the Japanese army captured the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the population of the public concession has soared, from more than one million to more than four million, and more than two million refugees have poured in. Due to insufficient place to settle, most of them even slept on the road.
Because they are running for life in a hurry and don’t carry much clothing, let alone food, they are currently short of food and clothing and have no jobs, and starvation is common, and there are even people who sell children and daughters.
The shabby straw mat shack, the torn clothes and shoes, the ordinary people who were starving because of hunger, the hungry children who cried, and everything in front of them made Chen Mingxiang feel extremely sad.
However, due to his own tasks, he could not do anything for these victims. People with kindness would not be valued by the Japanese.
"Sister, brother-in-law, today I met a kind uncle. I will take him to see you. He is willing to help our family." Xue Xiaopeng said as soon as he entered the door.
This is a shanty house built in the public concession, and it is also a thin-board house. There is air leakage everywhere. It is a few square meters of area. There is almost nothing in the house except pots and pans.
Xue Lin is a 24-year-old young woman. Although she is not unkempt and has clean and neat clothes. She has short hair with her ears and is wearing coarse cloth clothes. She is pretty and beautiful.
Li Zhendong is about twenty-seven or eight years old, and is very burly. He is lying in a pile of broken quilts and grits his teeth and endures the severe pain, but he doesn't say a word. He is also a man.
"Thank you, my kind-hearted man, for helping our family. I, Li Zhendong, are willing to hand over this life to you and repay your great kindness!"
Li Zhendong actually turned over and kowtowed to Chen Mingxiang. After moving a little, sweat began to appear on his head.
"Okay, don't do these false rites for a patient. I feel better than anything else. In fact, in order to survive, I am doing things for traitors and Japanese people, and I am not a good person. Let's lie down!" Chen Mingxiang hurriedly helped him lie down.
Hearing Chen Mingxiang's origin, there was a little hesitation in Li Zhendong and Xue Lin's eyes. The people hated traitors to the core. But the instinct to survive forced the two to face reality, and the most important thing was to survive.
"My benefactor is an official in the government?" Li Zhendong was a little confused. He didn't look like him!
Chen Mingxiang is wearing a bad Zhongshan suit, which is not very good. However, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the Shanghai market are popular for suits and ties, trousers under their robes and leather shoes.
"That's not. I am the manager of Damalu Huatong Trading Company, and I still have the position of a translation department chief at the agents headquarters, just a small role." Chen Mingxiang shook his head.
"What kind of traitor is this? The traitor is the one who helps the Japanese bully the people!" Li Zhendong said, clearly breathing a sigh of relief.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange does things for the Japanese and the Reformation Government, and there are no 100,000 or 80,000. It cannot be said that they are all traitors. In this way, most people have no choice.
"Don't say much nonsense. Take the time to go to the hospital to get the bones connected. I have an old house on the other side of Yuyuan Road. After you are discharged from the hospital, you will also be able to watch the door."
"If you want to do something for me, you will be healthy first. In this way, I will give you three hundred fiat coins first, which will be considered as advance payment to your family's salary in advance."
"Hold this business card, handle the family affairs, and call me again. I will ask the telephone bureau to install a phone number for the old school." Chen Mingxiang said.
After leaving the place where Li Zhendong's family lived, a burst of tears came from his ears. This was the joy of living in a desperate situation.
Especially Li Zhendong, as a man, he couldn't afford a family. He felt that his wife and brother-in-law were hungry and felt deeply guilty in his heart.
After dealing with this little thing, Chen Mingxiang first went home and drove into the car, and continued to go back to the hotel to monitor Chen Chenglun. It was not until the evening that Chen Chunpu's car came to the hotel and stayed for more than ten minutes before leaving.
He sat in the car and saw clearly that being able to have such frequent contact with the deputy secretary-general of the traitor Wang Jingwei further confirmed his judgment that something big must have happened.
Early in the morning, Chen Mingxiang wore sunglasses and waited for Chen Chenglun to come out at the breakfast stall. Seeing that he was about to finish eating, he went to the hotel door in advance to find his room in this way, and then returned to the outside, found a tea stall near the hotel, and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds.
At about ten o'clock, Chen Chenglun went out. Chen Mingxiang quickly entered the hotel, opened the lock with iron wire, and sneaked into his room. This was also the agent's basic skill.
A letter was found under the pillow. It was written by Wang Jingwei, who wanted to hire Chen Chenglun, a former student, to be his own private secretary.
Chen Mingxiang quickly searched and found nothing except a work certificate and a few clothes in Chen Chenglun's suitcase. After restoring the scene, he quickly withdrew.
The traitor Wang only presided over the training institutions, and all the students who participated can be called his students. This guy is only a small clerk in the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Reform Government. It can be seen that the friendship between teachers and students does not exist. With his current position, he may not have much ability.
Such a small character can become Wang Jingwei's secretary? It's impossible. Wang Jingwei was also the second-ranked person who could confront the chairman back then. Is there still a lack of secretary candidates around him?
Then why did Wang Jingwei write this letter?
Chen Chenglun had no movement for two consecutive days, but Chen Mingxiang was very patient. Except for a trip to the company to show his face, he kept staring at him the rest of the time.
On the afternoon of the third day, it was Chen Cheng's turn to answer a call downstairs, sneakily came out of the hotel, looked around, took a rickshaw, and then half an hour later, he arrived at the door of another hotel.
Since he found the target, Chen Mingxiang didn't care about Chen Chenglun's whereabouts. He was waiting outside, and the guy began to capture the target after leaving.
Soon, a young man in his thirties came into his sight. After going out, he carefully observed the surrounding situation. He wore sunglasses and observed at least four times along the way before finally entering a residence.
Chen Mingxiang followed a lot from a distance. He also received such tracking training in the training class and could always avoid this person's sight.
He joined the Qingpu training class of the Military Control Commission until he graduated. He only knew the heavyweights of the Military Control Commission and did not see him, and he knew nothing about this young man.
"The bureau chief, Chunfeng sent a secret telegram asking him to give him a copy of all the agents currently in Shanghai, especially photos, so as to provide timely protection. He was brought to the Shanghai Stock Exchange by a special person. He burned it after reading it. I want to go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange." Pan Qiwu said.
"Although this is the top secret of the Military Intelligence Bureau, I can trust the Spring Breeze, so there is no need to go there. Send someone to go there and put it at his contact point. The information is as simple as possible, and only provide photos and names of school-level officers and special operations personnel. The position can be indicated, but there is no need for anything else." Dai Li said with a smile and said.
