Chapter 297 Xu Zhongyi

Ever since he became famous through his donation, Xu Zhongyi's life has become more carefree.

There were Japanese people who made things difficult for him in the past, but after he became famous, the people who made things difficult for him became his closest friends;

In the past, because of transporting controlled items, once he was entangled, he would send his Japanese partners to take action, but now he only needs to go over and show his face. Even if someone reports in front of the Japanese military officer that these are all contraband, the Japanese military officer will say :

Mr. Xu is the empire’s closest comrade-in-arms, these products must have important uses!

In the past, after he was dismissed as the director of the Secret Service Committee, No. 76 Li Lixing and the senior puppet government officials who were working in the New Asia Hotel always wanted to use him as a chamber pot. But now, these people have to go to Xu Zhongyi with gifts. , asking Xu Zhongyi to say a few words of kindness in front of the Japanese.

In the past, Xu Zhongyi had to be wary of anyone making a fuss about his identity, but now, even if Shanghai's special intelligence agencies receive information about Xu Zhongyi, they will just shelve it.

Xu Zhongyi wanted to wave his sickle right now and start cutting leeks for the second time with Jiang Sian.

Fortunately, he has a sober teacher who can stop Xu Zhongyi's inhumane harvest.

"You're not a big A, you have to give Liek some time to grow!"

Xu Zhongyi didn't understand what Big A meant, but the teacher's words were unmistakable.

However, now he felt that the teacher was wrong.

Because at this moment, his teacher Zhang Anping was assigning him a new task.

……

Zhang Anping found Xu Zhongyi as Xu Zhongyi's younger brother. After arriving in the study room, the roles of the two were reversed. Xu Zhongyi poured tea for his teacher like a dog, and then made excuses in various ways - this is what he learned from his teacher versus Boss Dai. He felt that his own teacher also used this technique.

Maybe it’s because my teacher always has the subconscious desire to “get back his place”?

Zhang Anping has no choice but to deal with Xu Zhongyi's shameless behavior. Seeing that this kid is addicted to it, he doesn't bother to repeat it anymore - as of now, it's not to the extent that this guy is forcing himself to death.

He motioned Xu Zhongyi to sit down and said, "Do you know the specific situation of the counterfeit banknote den on Dajinshan Island?"

Xu Zhongyi was puzzled: "Teacher, why do you ask this?"

It’s been almost half a month since the incident on Dajinshan Island, why are you still asking about this?

Zhang Anping knocked on the table "unconsciously": "The equipment and all the workers in that den eventually fell into the hands of the Communist Party."

"Ah? I thought you were blown up!" Xu Zhongyi was surprised.

He thought to himself: Of course I know, I "lent" Zhang Hao the fifteen thousand!

borrow?

Xu Zhongyi sighed in his heart, he didn't seem to be planning to take the money back - what's going on with me? You are in Wu camp, your relationship is in Wei camp, and your heart is in Han?

He was suddenly a little confused, why have I been supporting the underground party without thinking?

Looking at Xu Zhongyi's flawless acting, Zhang Anping felt like looking in the mirror.

His face turned gloomy: "It didn't explode. The things were taken away by the Communist Party. I was given an IOU for fifteen thousand - the Communist Party couldn't wait to send the money a few days ago."

"Huh? Is the Communist Party so rich?" Xu Zhongyi pretended to be surprised and said to himself rather painfully:

That's my money!

"They probably want to clear things up so that I don't have to make a fuss about it and regret it." Zhang Anping said mockingly:

"But I... regret it more and more!"

Xu Zhongyi was truly shocked this time, with a look of shared hatred on his face: "Teacher, what do you want to do?"

He rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to personally vent his anger on the teacher.

In fact, Xu Zhongyi guessed that Zhang Anping wanted to use himself as a knife - a borrowed knife to kill people.

As expected, Zhang Anping said next:

"Although the Communist Party promised not to use it to make counterfeit currency, I can't trust them. And even if they don't make counterfeit currency, they will definitely use it to make what they call 'side currency' - loyalty. I'll leave this matter to you. I don’t want the Communist Party to get these things!”

"Teacher is brilliant!" Xu Zhongyi gave a thumbs up: "If I take action, the Japanese will take action. If something goes wrong, the Communist Party can't blame the teacher!"

Zhang Anping nodded, confirmed that this was what he wanted, and added:

"But there is a follow-up to this plan - after you get the things, I will let the loyal rescue army attack you and seize the things again."

Xu Zhongyi, who was thinking about how to communicate with Zhang Hao and deceive Zhang Anping, asked strangely:

"why?"

"These things are bait. I need them to hook some prey."

Xu Zhongyi naturally realized that some of the so-called prey should be Japanese.

He knew clearly that he could have a good discussion, but he had to go to war, so why bother?

"Then I will use this opportunity to clean up some scum that are full of evildoers - teacher, please tell me the specific information so that I can prepare the manpower."

"The investigation is ongoing, and the results should be available soon. You need to prepare your manpower first." Zhang Anping explained: "Remember, it was you who accidentally discovered the Communist Party and took action. Don't be too deliberate. Do you understand?"

"I know! Teacher, don't worry when I do things!" Xu Zhongyi assured.

Zhang Anping looked at this "mirror" and thought to himself, I really feel relieved when you do things.

The protagonist in front of the mirror is gone, but the "image" in the mirror is still there.

Like the protagonist, when Zhang Anping left, Xu Zhongyi, who always showed flattery, flattery, and intimacy in front of the teacher, became serious.

He knew the teacher was wrong.

[Teacher, you are wrong! 】

Xu Zhongyi thought silently - you said, this is the most dangerous time for the Chinese nation, this is the time for the whole people to resist Japan, this is the time for the survival of our great country!

It's already this time, why are you still thinking about fighting against your brothers?

Xu Zhongyi did not want to, was unwilling to swing this sword at the friendly forces who were fighting against Japan together.

But he is not like the loyal ministers in ancient times who risked their lives to persuade them - if the persuasion was useful, why would they risk their lives?

How could a person like the teacher, if he had listened to the advice, become Zhang Shihao, who frightened the Japanese invaders?

So he had no intention of persuading him at all.

[All I can do is probably have a clear conscience. 】

Sighing softly, Xu Zhongyi looked silently at Shanghai under the neon lights. This party-state...

In last year's Battle of Songhu, after the teacher reported the due process to no avail, he murderously came up with an assassination list. Xu Zhongyi felt sad for the party-state because the party-state he served for could not do it on the battlefield where countless people were fighting. Respect for heroes!

But now he is a giant smuggler. This identity has allowed him to see too many dirty people and things there, and his sadness has gradually turned into despair.

This is why Xu Zhongyi chose to use his own money to support Zhang Hao.

And now, his teacher wants him to do something to "them" he admires.

[I thought teachers were the only light of the party-state, but I didn’t expect...]

At this moment, Xu Zhongyi was completely desperate.

Just like what he whispered just now:

All I can do is have a clear conscience.

……

The next day, Xu Zhongyi met Zhang Hao after making an appointment through secret channels.

When I usually see Xu Zhongyi, I can always see the cynical laziness and insouciance on his face, but this time, Zhang Hao didn't see the look he often saw on Xu Zhongyi's face before, which made Zhang Hao feel agitated. Surprised—could something serious happen?

"Did something happen?"

"You haven't evacuated yet? The Japanese have organized three regiments of Japanese troops and five regiments of puppet troops. They are about to start clearing out the resistance forces!"

"I know." Zhang Hao explained: "The superior's intention is to let us hold off the Japanese for a while, so that the Japanese will not easily achieve their goal of mopping up and turn around to support Wuhan." The Battle of Songhu was lost, and Shanghai fell;

The defeat of Nanjing in the Battle of Nanjing left an unforgettable scar in the history of the Chinese nation;

We lost the battle of Taiyuan and lost Taiyuan;

In the battle of Xuzhou, we won Taierzhuang, but still lost Xuzhou;

Now, a war is going on in Wuhan. One million Chinese troops and more than 200,000 Japanese troops are fighting around Wuhan. On this occasion, every bit of anti-war power is so precious, so why bother!

Xu Zhongyi sighed inwardly, cheered up and said:

"I should be able to contact the Japanese army's movements here. Since you are determined to delay the Japanese army, then give me a contact information and I will inform you of the Japanese army's movements."

"No need." Zhang Hao unexpectedly refused: "We have other channels - thank you for providing those radio stations."

Xu Zhongyi waved his hand and did not take credit. Instead, he got down to business and said, "I received an order from the top to snatch the counterfeiting team and the printing press from you."

Zhang Hao was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Zhang Shihao's order?"

Xu Zhongyi did not answer and said to himself: "Lao Zhang, I can't refuse this matter, but you are the anti-Japanese force after all. I don't want to be stained with your blood. Can you play a show with me?"

Zhang Hao answered without hesitation: "No problem! How do you want us to cooperate with you?"

Xu Zhongyi talked about his plans, Zhang Hao listened carefully and kept them all in mind.

"I'll get ready when I get back. I'll let you know when I'm done."

"it is good."

After Xu Zhongyi finished speaking, he was about to leave. Zhang Hao hesitated and called to him:

"Zhongyi, you... why don't you join us!"

In fact, Zhang Hao had wanted to say this for a long time.

When he first came into contact with Xu Zhongyi, he thought Xu Zhongyi was a pretty good person - although his superiors told him afterwards that you... were fooled.

But when the Japanese came to the door, Xu Zhongyi chose to be arrested to protect him, but Zhang Hao has always remembered it.

Later, Xu Zhongyi's various help allowed Zhang Hao to gradually get to know Xu Zhongyi - he had always wanted to invite this person who loved this nation as much as him to fight alongside him!

Today, he felt able to invite.

Xu Zhongyi stopped, turned around and showed a wry smile, saying:

"Honestly, you guys are... really good."

"but……"

He pointed at himself with a wry smile: "The only thing I can do is to help you within my ability."

"I know you're right, but..."

"I can't get over that hurdle in my heart."

Zhang Hao didn't expect Xu Zhongyi to refuse so simply. He tried to "struggle" and said: "Zhongyi, is this okay? Can you meet with my superior?"

"It's not necessary, I'll just contact you - I'm not one of your people, I'm helping you because you are sincerely resisting Japan."

After that, Xu Zhongyi left without looking back.

Zhang Hao sat down on the chair.

Xu Zhongyi had helped him many times. It was not that he had never heard of Xu Zhongyi, but Xu Zhongyi always talked about him. This time, he felt that it was a matter of course, but he did not expect that it would be the result that he did not want to see.

"You are really pedantic..."

Zhang Hao sighed.

After regaining his composure, he quietly left the meeting place. After confirming that he was not being followed, he arrived at the meeting place agreed with his superior.

……

The No. 2 intelligence team was apparently in charge of Cen Anyan. Logically speaking, it was Cen Anyan who should be responsible for negotiating with the Shanghai party organization.

But while Lao Cen was injured, Zhang Anping arranged the July 7th Uprising. In order to maintain smooth contact with the Shanghai underground party, he played the Minglou card.

Now that Minglou had established horizontal ties with the Shanghai underground party, Zhang Anping naturally canceled Cen Anyan's horizontal ties with the organization and handed over the external relations task to Minglou.

After Xu Zhongyi contacted the organization, Zhang Anping came to Minglou's house.

He wanted to communicate with the Shanghai underground party through Minglou.

Before Minglou got off work, the Ming family had a young master who had nothing to do. The third master Ming received Zhang Xiao, the loser in Xu Zhongyi's tent, and enthusiastically pulled Zhang Anping to chat, as if he wanted to make friends. .

Zhang Anping naturally had to socialize, using his identity as a traitor to become a "friend" with his student - Mingtai gathered information during the chat, while Zhang Anping rated the student during the chat, and finally gave him an 82-point evaluation.

60 points for passing score, 10 points for praise, 8 points for immaturity, 10 points for hard work, and 10 points for encouragement...

When Minglou came, he saw how close "Zhang Xiao" was to the third child, and he couldn't help but curl his lips - Zhang Anping, Zhang Anping, are you trying to catch the three brothers of my family and cause trouble to them?

"A Cheng, you and the third child go to pick up the eldest sister - Mr. Zhang has been waiting for a long time. Come to the study with me."

"Yes, Director Ming."

Zhang Anping's identity is top secret. Although Minglou often complains about this guy in his heart, even Mingcheng has never said it.

After the two entered the study, Minglou said angrily: "My third brother is your student after all. Is it interesting for you to bully him like this?"

"Interesting, very interesting."

Minglou asked dissatisfiedly: "In what capacity did you answer this? Zhang Shihao? Or Zhang Anping?"

Zhang Shihao, that's the military commander. I can't bear what you say.

Zhang Anping, then you are a comrade, a comrade of your own, are you embarrassed to speak like this?

Zhang Anping said dumbfounded: "Comrade Minglou, you don't have to be so serious, right?!"

Minglou secretly thought: If you don't take it so seriously, will your bad fun be over?

He didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Anping's complaints - mainly because he couldn't say it.

He said seriously: "Mr. Zhao and I met."

Zhang Anping nodded sternly, indicating that Minglou would continue to save.

"That student of yours rejected Comrade Zhang Hao's invitation."

Zhang Anping was stunned. Xu Zhongyi... refused?

He felt that considering Xu Zhongyi's behavior of helping the underground party during this period, joining the organization was a natural thing.

Minglou glanced at Zhang Anping complicatedly and continued:

"But he said that he wanted the organization to cooperate with him in performing the task for you."

"This kid..." Zhang Anping sighed with a complicated expression.

He could guess why Xu Zhongyi refused.

The naughty boy who was once was so serious about love and righteousness after all!

But can this little bastard not be able to distinguish between personal friendship and official friendship between family and country?

Suppressing his complicated emotions, Zhang Anping said: "Since this kid left according to the script, then..."

"The 'Fishing Plan' has officially started!"

"Xiao Ming, next you should pay more attention to what's going on in the Special High School and No. 76. As we cast the net, we must catch this big fish!"

It was clear that he was talking about business, but the title "Xiao Ming" made Minglou want to kick Zhang Anping in the face - he was talking to me as Zhang Shihao, right?

Seeing Minglou suppressing his anger, Zhang Anping smiled secretly and said seriously:

"Comrade Minglou, I'll leave first. I'll contact you if anything happens."

The dual identities of Zhang Shihao and Zhang Anping are seamlessly connected.

What can Minglou do?

What can he do?

The only answer is - this guy, with his two identities weighing on me, still likes to play with himself, he is really... too busy!

After Zhang Anping left, the helplessness and anger on Minglou's face disappeared without a trace.

Of course the anger was fake, and Zhang Anping also knew it was fake. This was just a tacit interaction between two like-minded comrades.
