The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 44 Working Committee in Shanghai

The deputy consul general of Japan in Shanghai, whose surname is Iwai, should be Eiichi Iwai, the founder of the Iwai Mansion who is well-known in history.

This is the intelligence chief of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai. He has rich intelligence experience, is very cunning, has a good hand in China, and is extremely difficult to deal with.

With Cheng Mo's current rank, he is definitely no match for this guy. Of course, he can't reach him now.

Eiichi Iwai’s wife is Sachiko. She has lived in Shanghai for many years. If she doesn’t wear a kimono, she can basically be regarded as an ordinary wife from a wealthy family.

And she can speak Chinese. Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe followed her and saw that he could communicate with the merchants without any barriers, without any translation, and even spoke good English.

She truly deserves to be a diplomat's wife.

Shopping, eating, and hair and beauty treatments, all women cannot do without these three things, especially beauty treatments. This is a fashionable thing that only rich ladies can enjoy.

A double eyelid surgery costs a large yellow croaker. This kind of consumption is not something ordinary people can afford.

It’s not expensive to get a hair perm.

She also bought a lot of things, including food for herself and her own use, as well as men's belts, leather shoes, ties, etc.

I think I bought it for my husband Eiichi Iwai.

From nine o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, from Nanjing Road to Fuzhou Road to the Bund, we visited almost all the places in the eastern part of the public concession.

Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe, two grown men, didn't buy anything and just followed behind. They were very tired. But when they went back, they were carrying big and small bags and they were still in high spirits.

Nothing unexpected happened, and there would be no accidents. After all, Iwai's wife was just a housewife. No matter whether it was the SH City Party Headquarters, the military command's anti-rape team, or the spontaneous anti-Japanese elements among the people, such a woman would not be targeted. of.

Even if you kill or kidnap Mrs. Iwai, you will not have any impact on the entire war situation. Instead, you will create a topic for the Japanese side and hype up the remarks of your victim.

This is not worth the loss. Of course, the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce sent people to follow him because they were afraid that Leng Touqing would do something stupid and to prevent sudden accidents.

No one wants to cause a diplomatic incident.

Watching Mrs. Iwai's car passing through the Sichuan Road Bridge and entering the Hongkou Japanese Control Area, Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Laozha Capture House.

"Old Xu, you taught me a lot today. I'll treat you to a restaurant after get off work." Cheng Mo felt that Xu Qinghe was a pretty good guy, so he planned to make acquaintance with him in depth.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng. Forget it for today. I promised to go home to eat with my wife and children. I will have the opportunity in the future." Xu Qinghe declined politely.

Cheng Mo didn't know why the other party rejected him, but he didn't insist. After get off work, he bought Yipin ink and manuscript paper from a stationery store. He had almost used all the manuscript paper at home.

In the evening, according to the agreed time, I called my sister Cheng Hua.

"Shanghai Working Committee?"

"Yes, it is an organization under the leadership of Mr. Du. This is all you need to know. This weekend, people will be arranged to deliver a batch of supplies to the Gujun Camp. At that time, you will go in as a volunteer to transport supplies." Cheng Hua explained.

"Then where should I find them?"

"Before you go tomorrow morning, you should go home." Cheng Hua said.

"Okay." Cheng Mo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He had an agreement with Su Mo'er on the weekend. If it didn't work, he would have to find another time.

The matter of entering Gujun Camp is more important.

Cheng Mo has an impression of this "Shanghai Working Committee". After the concession became an isolated island, some senior Kuomintang officials who stayed in Shanghai established a working organization. Among them was Wu Kaixian, the head of the SH Municipal Party Committee, and Dai Yunong seemed to be one of the committee members. Yang Hu, the cheap brother-in-law, was also a committee member, and then Mr. Du, the leader of the Youth Gang, was elected as the chairman of the committee.

The "Shanghai Working Committee" also raised and distributed the food and drink and other supplies for the isolated army camp, as well as the distribution of military pay.

This was actually a semi-underground organization that ended only after the Japanese army occupied the concession.

According to news in newspapers, the Japanese army and the national army guarding Nanjing were fighting fiercely at Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Gate and other places. The guard general Tang Shengzhi sent a message to the country and abroad, vowing to "live or die with Nanjing."

If they can really fight against the Japanese army in Nanjing, there will be no trouble later. What they are afraid of is that these people just shout nice, and after shouting, they turn their butts and run away faster than anyone else.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the cold wind is going straight into the cracks in people's bones.　　　　It makes people's hearts feel cold and cold.

In a blink of an eye, it had been three days since Cheng Mo moved to a new home and went to work in Laozha Fang.

It looks like tomorrow is the weekend.

After getting off work early in the morning, Cheng Mo came to wait for Su Moer at the entrance of Jiren Hospital. In the evening, they made an appointment to have dinner together. This time it was not a formal dinner.

Cheng Mo chose a White Russian restaurant called Feiyak.

This restaurant's borscht is very good, with plenty of ingredients, and the price is not expensive. It's located in a lane, so you need to make a reservation if you want to eat.

Lao Xu introduced it, otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to find such a restaurant with good taste and privacy.

Borscht, Kiev steak, Russian potato salad, black caviar.

Except for black caviar, the other three dishes have basically been localized. If the Belarusian restaurant only served Russians and Westerners in Shanghai, it would no longer be able to operate.

We must adapt to local conditions and make dishes that suit local tastes. Many ingredients may not be available in China, so we can only use substitutes.

In fact, the taste is quite good, and it is good for Chinese people to try it occasionally.

"Mo'er, try it. The black caviar here is pretty good. I know you studied in France, so you should be used to it?"

"Although I'm studying in France, I've only eaten this black caviar once or twice. It's too expensive. I really wouldn't be willing to eat it if someone else didn't ask for it." Su Morer said distressedly.

"Okay, we won't eat it next time." Cheng Mo chuckled. It seemed that his wife was still able to live a good life.

"This steak is good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chefs here are very good at it. We can come here often in the future. It's delicious and not expensive, and it's no worse than the one in the Red House." Cheng Mo said.

"Well, how did you find this restaurant?" Su Mo'er nodded. She really felt that it was good. With her family background, going to the Red House to eat Western food was not a particularly luxurious thing.

"A colleague of mine told me that there is nothing about the Eastern District of the Public Settlement that he doesn't know about."

"By the way, my parents know about us and want you to come home with me for dinner tomorrow?" Su Moer said with a blushing face.

"Noon or night?"

"We'll see when you're free." Su Mo'er lowered her head and ate potato salad and said.

"Let's go to the evening. My sister has something to do with me during the day." Cheng Mo made an excuse and put it off. He was going to the Lone Army Camp tomorrow, so naturally he couldn't go to Su's house for dinner at noon.

"Well, that's okay. If you are free in the afternoon, can you accompany me to the department store to buy something?" Su Mo'er said with a soft bite.

"This is my first visit. I should buy some gifts. I wonder what uncle and aunt would like?" Cheng Mo immediately understood what Su Mo'er meant.

"My dad doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to drink tea. Just buy him a can of tea, just Maojian'er. My mom usually doesn't have any hobbies, she just loves opera, especially Peking Opera and Yue Opera. She likes Boss Mei the most. "The Drunken Concubine" and "Silang Visits His Mother"," Su Mo'er said.

"Uncle's gift is simple, but it's very difficult for auntie. I can't sing. Even if I can, I can't compare with the coal boss..."

"Stupid, you can just buy a record of Boss Mei and give it to my mother." Su Muer rolled her eyes at Cheng Mo.

"Hehe..." Cheng Mo smiled proudly. How could he not see that since Su Mo'er had made such a clear direction, he must have thought about it a long time ago, but he really can't be too smart, otherwise, wouldn't he be disappointed? The beautiful woman is in love with her.

After dinner, there was still time, Cheng Mo walked with Su Morer on the Bund for a while, and the driver, Lao Hu, followed behind in his car.

If they hadn't pressed the horn to urge them, they probably could have walked back and forth on the Bund again.

After getting in the car, they waved reluctantly and left.

Cheng Mo then wrapped himself in his windbreaker and raised his hand to call a rickshaw. He had to go home quickly to finish the manuscript.
