Chapter 528: Critical Situation

The leaders of the two underground parties walked back and forth in the safe house in a hurry, but they had experienced many storms and could still keep their heads calm.

After a few minutes, a sentry operative came in to report that he had spotted members of the gang coming here, and was constantly inquiring about the situation.

Hearing what this operative said, Zhao Wentian became even more anxious. After all, the current situation is too bad. It would be dangerous to notify the Japanese once he was watched by these gangsters.

Moreover, the members of the gang are more familiar with the situation in the concession, and there are a large number of returned overseas Chinese. As long as they are targeted by them, they will never be able to get rid of it.

Zhao Chengde also heard this situation, so he said calmly: "Comrade Wen Tian, ​​we can't stay here anymore, we must move immediately."

"But the concession is blocked, and we don't have any other safe houses. Where are so many people going to go?"

Zhao Wentian also knew that he had to be transferred, but now there was no safe place, so the leader of the underground party was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.

"No matter where it is transferred, it can't stay anymore, otherwise it will definitely be discovered."

Zhao Chengde also had no safe place, but he knew that he had to move, otherwise the people from the Japanese intelligence agency would arrive soon, and with the strength of the underground party, they would be unable to resist at all.

"Okay, let's move immediately, and we're thinking of a way on the way."

As he said that, Zhao Wentian ordered other operatives to prepare to protect the returned overseas Chinese and transfer them.

The returning overseas Chinese are all intellectuals, and they still have a heart of serving the country. Even if they know the danger, there is no confusion.

While packing up, Zhao Chengde suggested again: "Everyone can't leave together, that would be too eye-catching and easy to be spotted, so divide into several groups and leave here one after another."

Zhao Wentian also nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, we must separate, so that we will be safer."

After speaking, Zhao Wentian divided the personnel into six groups, and each group was protected by an operative.

When Zhao Wentian was grouped, Zhao Chengde had already started to pack his things. After all, this stronghold was about to be exposed and had to be abandoned. He had lived here for a long time, and with the limited funds of the underground party, there were a lot of things to bring.

When Zhao Chengde finished packing up, two groups had already left first, and after a few minutes, the rest also left one after another.

At this time, the leaders of the two underground parties also protected a few overseas Chinese to leave their residences, but they had no destination and could only wander around in the concession.

Fortunately, after being broken down into parts, there are only five or six people in a group, which is not too conspicuous, and there is no photo of them in the gang, so it is safe to occupy time.

Walking on the road in the concession, Zhao Chengde was observing the situation while thinking about where to settle down, but the area of ​​the concession is not large, and he must not be able to find a suitable place in a short time.

And the concession was blocked again, so many people couldn't leave at all, and these underground parties can still live on the streets, so these overseas Chinese can't have no place to rest.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chengde was very anxious, but when he walked to Nanjing Road, his eyes suddenly lit up.

On Nanjing Road, there is a six-story building with six big characters written on it, Li Deshun Hotel.

Seeing this restaurant, Zhao Chengde had an idea, and said to Zhao Wentian who was at the side: "Shopkeeper, we can arrange the guests there."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chengde pointed to Li Deshun Hotel with his finger, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed.

Looking at the words Li Deshun Hotel, Zhao Wentian frowned and said in a low voice, "But we don't have much money."

The Li Deshun Hotel was run by the British, and the price of one night's stay was expensive. With the activities of the underground party, they couldn't afford to live here, and they couldn't bear to spend so much money.

"Comrade Wen Tian, ​​let's arrange the guests there first, and then think of other ways. We can't let the guests be left on the streets."

Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhao Chengde spoke in a low voice, and his tone was very firm.

Hearing Zhao Chengde's words, Zhao Wentian touched the funds in his arms, and then said calmly: "I'm afraid I can only open two rooms with the money on my body, and I can't photograph so many people."

Zhao Chengde immediately said: "I will think of a way for the money. I will open two rooms for the time being and let the guests rest for a while."

Hearing what Zhao Chengde said, Zhao Wentian nodded, knowing that it was a critical moment, he had to find a place to stay first, and then he was thinking of a way, so he walked towards Li Deshun Hotel.

The check-in procedure was very smooth. After all, this is a concession area, everything depends on money, and since Zhao Chengde and Zhao Wentian's identities are legal, Li Deshun Hotel will not investigate, and soon opened two rooms for them.

The two rooms are next to each other, located on the fifth floor of the hotel. Under the leadership of the waiter, a group of people went to the room.

After dismissing the waiter, Zhao Wentian said, "Comrade Chengde, what should we do next."

He has already arrived at a safe place, although he can't stay here for a long time, Zhao Wentian's heart is still a little more stable, so his tone is also a little calmer.

"Comrade Wen Tian, ​​looking at the current situation, we can't leave the concession for a short time, and now we can only deal with the present.

What I mean is, let the overseas Chinese live here for a few days by borrowing some funds first. I am using these few days to rent two places as safe houses and spend time with the Japanese. "

During this period of time, Zhao Chengde had already thought of countermeasures. After all, this old party member was sure that the Japanese would not block the concession indefinitely, because foreigners would not agree, and the Japanese could not afford to bother.

Hearing Zhao Chengde's words, Zhao Wentian said calmly: "Where did you go to borrow money, could it be..."

Although Zhao Wentian didn't say his name, Zhao Chengde understood who he was talking about. After all, only Liu Qing had some spare money in the organization, so he nodded and replied affirmatively: "That's right, I can only go to her now."

Speaking of this, Zhao Chengde was a little bit emotional. After all, the underground party had borrowed a sum of money from Liu Qing before, and it has just been repaid not long ago. He did not expect to borrow money again.

But this time is different from the last time, this time only a little bit is needed, after all, this borrowing is only to deal with the immediate situation.

Zhao Wentian did not object to this opinion. After all, the situation is critical now, and Liu Qing is an underground party member, so there is no need to see outsiders, so he nodded and said in agreement: "Well, you go to her first, let's settle down first."

Originally, these returned overseas Chinese had some money on them, but not too much, and they had just met, and members of the party organization were embarrassed to borrow money from them, after all, they were not their own people.

At this time, Zhao Chengde suggested again: "Comrade Wen Tian, ​​let's work separately now. You go to contact other people and bring them here. I will bring the money back soon."

"Okay, I'll go now, but you have to be careful, after all, there are not simple people around Liu Qing, so don't expose it."

When leaving the safe house, the underground party members made an agreement to move around in a certain area, and negotiated the route, so it was easy to find people.

However, Liu Qing was lurking in the military command, and in today's situation, it is necessary to use the emergency contact method. Zhao Wentian was a little worried that he would be discovered, so he specifically ordered it.

Zhao Chengde was very confident about his own abilities, and besides, the matter was not too dangerous, so he nodded, said a few more words, and turned to leave.
