Chapter 1025: Customs blocked (seeking a bimonthly ticket)
Wei Liangbi left the office of the bureau and rushed to Huang Xianzheng's home soon and reported the content of the telegram to Huang Xianzheng in person. Huang Xianzheng knew as soon as he heard that this matter must be the work of the bureau, and he couldn't help but feel angry!
The departure of Gao Tao and the other two, such a big thing, will definitely cause a huge uproar on both China and Japan, and its impact will even cause a response internationally. However, the bureau actually concealed it so closely that it left the Shanghai Intelligence Department aside, enjoying its merits alone, and eating too ugly!
Huang Xianzheng became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He said harshly: "What is Zhiheng doing in Shanghai? You should be venting this matter with me in advance. We should kick it whatever we say, but now it is all the credit of others. If we don't do it well, we have to wipe others' butts!"
Wei Liangbi was also unwilling to accept it, but he still advised: "Zhiheng should be scruples, afraid that this big thing will ruin, so he can only take care of the overall situation. And I guess he may not have paid too much attention to this matter before. In short, now it is done, so you should not care too much."
Wei Liangbi guessed very accurately. At the beginning, although Ning Zhiheng knew that Wan Mulin had another mission to return to Shanghai, it did not attract attention, so he did not investigate it. It was not until Gao Tao and the other two broke out that he introduced the whole story.
Huang Xianzheng snorted coldly. Now that the action has been completed, he naturally cannot cause any more troubles. He said to Wei Liangbi: "Don't be too kind to be a human being. We spare no effort to support them, saving people and sending guns, but what about them! The abacus is more important than us. In short, I must explain this matter clearly to him, otherwise I will suffer losses in the future!"
The next morning, at Chen Mansion in the French Concession in Shanghai, Chen Ting and Wan Mulin were sitting opposite each other. Both of them were smiling. Radaming, who was standing behind Chen Ting, first asked: "Uncle Mulin, is there news in Hong Kong?"
Wan Mulin laughed and nodded and said, "I received a notice last night that Gao Tao and the others have arrived in Hong Kong safely. This matter was finally completed. Brother Yue Sheng is very satisfied. Brother Ting, you are the first contribution. Brother Yue Sheng has already asked you for the Chongqing government. In the future, as long as you need it, just tell me, everything is easy to say! Haha!"
Chen Ting quickly waved his hand and smiled, "Mulin, they are all his brothers, so polite! I finally contributed to the country, and I feel much more relaxed!"
Wan Mulin looked up at Lei Daming again and said, "Aming, you did a beautiful job this time and had a careful plan. There were no mistakes in the middle. If you have any ideas in the future, you can ask me. Even if you arrange a position in the Military Commission, there will be no problem."
This time the operation was implemented by Radarming, so Wan Mulin was very satisfied with him. Now the Military Affairs Bureau is recruiting personnel, and there are many people from gangs. With Yue Sheng's relationship, this is just a matter of one sentence.
Radar heard it clearly, but he was worried. He had never wanted to fall into this battle too deeply. This time he was forced by Wan Mulin, so he could only be in a dangerous position against No. 76. In the future, he still wanted to guard the concession and live a peaceful life!
He hurriedly refused: "Uncle Mulin, you are joking. We have been hanging around in this concession since we were young and have no great ambitions, so we can just give you some help."
Wan Mulin knew what their master and apprentice were thinking, but he was afraid he was not optimistic about the Chongqing government and wanted to guard his own acre of three parts of the land.
He didn't care, so he raised his hand gently and said with a smile: "Let's talk about this matter, in short, I will remember the credit for you, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future!"
When Radaming heard this, his heart relaxed, changed the subject and said, "Uncle Mu Lin, now that the matter has been completed, it is also a perfect merit. When are you planning to return to Hong Kong?"
Radaming was respectful and afraid of Wan Mulin. Now he was still worried that Wan Mulin would stay for too long and things would go back and forth, so he asked.
"What? I think I'm in trouble here!" Wan Mulin smiled slightly and said calmly.
He naturally knew the concerns of the master and apprentice. They were afraid that something would happen to him would eventually involve them.
When Chen Ting heard this, he quickly moved forward and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Mulin, don't get me wrong. We are also doing it for your own good. You are not as good as us. Brother Yue Sheng has registered with the Japanese. You have stayed in Shanghai for too long, so it's still too conspicuous. It's better not to take risks."
When Wan Mulin heard this, he stopped insisting. The time he had been delayed when he came back this time was indeed too long. It was mainly for this matter, and now he should have retired successfully.
He slapped the armrest of the sofa, laughed, nodded and agreed, "Okay, Brother Yue Sheng also urged me to go back in the telegram, I will make arrangements as soon as possible!"
When Chen Ting and Raid Ming heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief!
With the help of Chen Ting's disciple, Wan Mulin left Chen Mansion, got into a car, and in the back seat, said to Chai Liang who was sitting in front: "A Si, book me a ticket back to Hong Kong immediately, the faster the better!"
When Chai Liang heard this, he quickly turned around and said, "Uncle Mu Lin, are you going back to Hong Kong?"
Wan Mulin Ruo looked at Chai Liang with a deep meaning and nodded: "I have been back for a long time, and it's time to leave. A Si, this time you are doing things well, I remember your contribution!"
Chai Liang knew in his heart that Wan Mulin was afraid that he would have doubts in his heart, but he just refused to make it clear. He nodded respectfully and said, "Uncle Mulin, I think it's safer. Don't leave on the passenger ship. The customs at Wusongkou will definitely have a check. I think it's better to cross the river and go to Pudong, which is safer."
Now the Shanghai Concession is surrounded by the city center, and there are basically only a few routes to leave Shanghai. The most convenient way to Hong Kong is of course to take a passenger ship out of Wusongkou Customs and go to Hong Kong along the coastline.
The route mentioned by Chai Liang is a smuggling route, which is usually a route used by Qing Gang disciples to run away if they commit crimes.
That is to enter the southern city of the city from the southern end of the French Concession, and then smuggle from the upper reaches of the Huangpu River to Pudong. There is a sparse population and a complex terrain. The Japanese have weak power here. At that time, they can use multiple channels to go to Hangzhou and transfer to Hong Kong.
When Wan Mulin heard this, he frowned and waved his hand and said, "What did I do with that effort? Go straight on the passenger ship!"
Chai Liang hurriedly continued to explain: "Uncle Mulin, since yesterday, there have been many irrelevant people in the concession. I asked, they were all from the entrance of the city. These people are all under Li Zhiqun's subordinates. Who knows what they found? We should be careful!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Wan Mulin was stunned when he heard this, his eyes narrowed. He hid Chai Liang's escape from Chai Liang, but Chai Liang said so now, so he naturally discovered something.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate, but after thinking for a long time, he finally chose to leave by passenger ship.
The main reason is that this incident just happened. He believed that the No. 76 Agent Headquarters would not be so fast. He was still in the stage of inquiring about news everywhere, so it was still safe for him to leave now.
Besides, Wan Mulin has a high status in the Shanghai Qing Gang and was also a person in charge of the Qing Gang at the time. Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai, the juniors like Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai, would not dare to touch him easily without special circumstances. This is also a bad reputation among the Qing Gang disciples.
As for the route Chai Liang mentioned, although his whereabouts were hidden, there were too many variables, especially now, there were all kinds of people in Pudong, including Japanese troops, puppet troops, New Fourth Army, and even bandits along the way. They were no longer as safe as before. He measured it left and right, but finally gave up this choice.
He finally opened his mouth and ordered: "Do as I said! Let's leave today, disguise yourself and cover up your whereabouts!"
Chai Liang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this. He repeatedly reminded Wan Mulin, but Wan Mulin was stubborn and Chai Liang could not continue to insist, so he nodded and agreed, "Yes, Uncle Mulin, I'll do it right away!"
That night, Wan Mulin changed into clothes and appeared at the western terminal of Huangpujiang in the French Concession.
Chai Liang was carrying a suitcase behind him. After a while, he watched the ship docking, and Chai Liang handed the suitcase to Wan Mulin.
"Uncle Mulin, I still feel a little risky. Do you think about it again?"
Wan Mulin took the suitcase and said impatiently: "I have been in the world for so many years and have never seen anything. Are you so scared that I won't go out after listening to the wind and rain? I'll come back in April, so you can't watch the house!"
Chai Liang had no choice but to nod and agreed. Maybe Wan Mulin's judgment was not wrong, and it was still too late to leave now.
He had reported to Ji Hongyi for Wan Mulin's evacuation from Shanghai today. Although Ji Hongyi also felt that this move was quite risky, Ning Zhiheng's attitude was to try not to interfere and wait and see what happened, so Ji Hongyi was not very troublesome.
Watching the passenger ship leave the port, Chai Liang and Wan Mulin waved their hands to say goodbye, then turned around and left quickly.
The passenger ship slowly drove on the Huangpu River and soon entered the Wusongkou Customs Wharf. According to convention, Japanese customs personnel would conduct relatively strict inspections on the freighter, mainly because the Japanese blockade of materials on the coast of East China.
However, it seems relatively loose for passengers. Most of the time, it is just a formality. Unless it is a special situation, passengers will not be forcibly seized. Wan Mulin returned to Shanghai several times and took passengers to and from the bus, and the itinerary was very smooth, so he was not too worried.
But this time he obviously miscalculated. When the passenger ship was parked at the customs, the Japanese patrol boat approached, and a team of people boarded the passenger ship. The leader was Wu Shicai!
Wu Shicai brought his men directly to the cabin and inspected it. He soon focused his attention on Wan Mulin in the corner.
Although Wan Mulin changed into a costume this time, his body was fat and quite conspicuous, so Wu Shicai recognized him at a glance and walked straight to him.
