After the Republic of China

Chapter 966 Lack of Ability

It was late at night, and only a desk lamp was on in Shao Yunshi's room. It was not very bright, but it warmed people's hearts.

Under the dim yellow light, Luo Congbai suddenly remembered the exaggerated packages that Man Gu had packed earlier, and his face changed a little.

He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said hastily, "We have to be very secretive when we leave this time, and we really can't bring too much stuff with us."

The man's face changed color with fright, which made Shao Yunshi angry and a little embarrassed. After all, she had indeed been a little exaggerated when packing packages in the past.

Not wanting to embarrass the man, Shao Yunshi could only say with regret, "Then when you come back next time, I'll prepare a few more recipes for you."

"Okay." Luo Congbai responded sweetly in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he had regained his composure and was still thinking about what happened before, Shao Yunshi asked, "Who's coming from behind?"

Luo Congbai didn't want to bother her, so when asked, he could only say, "It's someone close to Ah Chen."

"What's wrong? There's a problem with his device and he can't send it to anyone?" Shao Yunshi asked anxiously.

Luo Congbai stroked her soft hair and sighed, "Something did happen, but he said he would handle it, it's just that the time is hard to control."

Shao Yunshi frowned, "Did the higher-ups stipulate a time for delivery?"

Luo Congbai said with embarrassment: "Of course the sooner the better. After all, they are here on behalf of the Communist International."

"Yes, he must have a mission." Shao Yunshi became anxious.

Luo Congbai glanced at the clock and said, "Okay, let's talk about this tomorrow. Let's go to bed first. We have to get up early later."

"Then will you still send me off tomorrow?" Shao Yunshi said.

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow, and then I'll go to the meeting place to wait for Comrade Hu Ping." Luo Congbai said.

Shao Yunshi asked, "Why are you so anxious?"

Luo Congbai sighed, "Those who go back to Jiangxi are in a hurry, and those who go to Hong Kong are also in a hurry."

Now, something suddenly went wrong with Tian Chen, and Luo Congbai had to ask Hu Ping for support.

This left Shao Yunshi speechless and she could only secretly plan in her mind.

Both of them were preoccupied with something and neither wanted to disturb the other, so they tidied up, closed their eyes and went to sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Luo Congbai sent Shao Yunshi to school, he drove to a secluded study.

The study room in the backyard.

Hu Ping was present. When he saw Luo Congbai, he stood up and said, "It's safest to meet you here. I didn't expect you to show up so soon."

Because this place is hidden, it takes a lot of time for strangers to find it.

Luo Congbai traveled frequently in Shanghai in his early years and had been to many places.

He smiled after hearing this and said, "Although this place is hidden, it is not difficult to find."

Hu Ping looked at him in surprise but didn't say anything.

The person who brought him here was also his comrade. The three of them greeted each other and started the formal meeting.

Luo Congbai first stated the organization’s requirements and expectations, and then waited for the other two to speak.

The owner of the study is Hu Ping’s superior.

Originally, Luo Congbai could have contacted the boss directly, but there were a lot of things to do and time was tight, so the organization cut out the middleman and allowed them to contact each other directly.

By the way, they also set up a temporary action team, with Luo Congbai as the team leader. Hu Ping, who was familiar with both parties, spoke first, "Comrade Mu, it seems that we need to mobilize the secret forces in Shanghai for this matter. What do you think?"

Luo Congbai's identity outside is Comrade Mu.

Luo Congbai did not reply immediately, but just looked at the study owner, waiting for him to speak.

The owner of the study did not shirk his responsibility and said, "We do not know all the secret forces of the Party in Shanghai, and even the few we know can only be used in emergencies."

Luo Congbai frowned, "You mean, we shouldn't contact the forces in other parts of Shanghai?"

The owner of the study sighed, "I know that this will make things even more difficult, but the party was rebuilt in Shanghai with great difficulty, and it is very important to the future of the revolution. It is better to preserve it if possible."

Hu Ping had been active in Shanghai and knew all about this matter. He said, "That's true. Comrade Mu, is there any other way?"

Is this the other way around? Luo Congbai was somewhat skeptical of the two men's abilities. "Comrade Hu, I want to ask, do you have a way to send the two comrades away?"

Hu Ping didn't think it was wrong to be so direct. She thought about it carefully and said, "I might be able to send someone to Hong Kong, but I probably can't send them to Jiangxi."

Luo Congbai's eyes flickered, "Then can we develop some relationship with Miss Shao?"

Speaking of this, Hu Ping's heart tightened, "Ms. Shao is a rare talent, and a very kind person. We can develop her career, but do you want her to help you this time?"

Thinking of Shao Lanxiang and Jiang Zhekai behind Shao Yunshi, Hu Ping felt that he had discovered the truth.

Luo Congbai asked this question abruptly. He wanted to pave the way for asking Shao Yunshi for help in the future, and also to test how sincere Hu Ping was to Shao Yunshi.

Hu Ping's reaction did not escape his perception, and he was quite satisfied. He said, "I do have this idea. Why, is it not possible?"

Hu Ping calmed down and advised, "Not really. It's just that if we can solve it ourselves, it's better to solve it ourselves. After all, the situation in Shanghai is complicated. If more people know about it, it will be easier for people to target us."

The owner of the study also said hurriedly: "That's right. It's difficult for people without training to be competent for this job."

After all, he didn't have high hopes for the abilities of the young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families.

Hu Ping continued, "Comrade Mu, Miss Shao has done me a favor. This is too dangerous. I don't want to drag innocent people into this."

She said this frankly, and Luo Congbai's expression softened. The owner of the study, who knew about the situation, also nodded in agreement.

Luo Congbai stopped probing and said directly: "If that's the case, then solve it yourself first."

Seeing that he agreed, Hu Ping breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Comrade Mu was the team leader, and if he insisted, things would be difficult to handle.

The same is true for the study owner.

Luo Congbai pretended not to notice the two men's expressions and asked, "What is the current situation outside?"

Although, Luo Congbai had already understood the situation in Shanghai when he was carrying out his first mission.

However, since the second task is different from the first, it is better to listen to other people's opinions.

The study owner knew the situation best, and he quickly told the story that there was a huge sum of money in Hong Kong that needed someone to take it over.

Hu Ping was a copywriter and didn't know about this. She asked hurriedly, "How did this happen? How did these rumors spread?"

The study owner sighed, "We haven't found out the reason yet."

"Is it spread privately?" Hu Ping asked hopefully.

The owner of the study looked at Luo Congbai a little embarrassedly and said, "Nowadays, there are people guarding and arresting people everywhere at the docks and stations."

Luo Congbai had visited these places and nodded in understanding, "That is indeed the case. The martial law outside is probably because of this."

Hu Ping was anxious, "What should we do?"

Maybe she was really anxious, her whole body was shaking.
