Chapter 292 Partners of the Working Team

evening.

A private residence in Lianhua Town.

Among the three men who were dining in the private room of Shunxin Restaurant, one was standing in front of the window, one was sitting cross-legged on the kang, and the other was pacing back and forth.

The man paced back and forth and said with emotion: "Today's meal is the most sumptuous and expensive meal I have ever eaten in my life."

Another person laughed and said, "Old Chen, you didn't see it. As soon as the pork intestines were served, Dachun's saliva started to flow. He was afraid that everyone would laugh at him, so he pretended to lower his head to tie his shoelaces. Haha."

Dachun immediately retorted: "I'm drooling and your eyeballs are about to fall out!"

Old Chen also laughed: "Xiao Wang, you and Dachun are equally matched, so don't laugh at each other... By the way, Xiao Wang, you have to go to Shiqiaozi's Lai tomorrow and have a good talk with him. Promote the idea of ​​resisting Japan and saving the country. Don't get impatient with people. You need to be patient in this kind of thing."

Xiao Wang sighed, "I've worn out my lips with words, but it's all in vain. You don't know, that old rascal is very good at crying poor, saying that the price of raw materials has risen and the oil mill is losing money every day. From what he said, he's just about to borrow money from us!"

Old Chen frowned, "Shiqiaozi Oil Mill only employs more than 20 workers. People from all over the country buy their oil. I heard they also deliver goods to several big restaurants in Binjiang. How could they lose money?"

Dachun snorted, "The surname Lai is a miser, he doesn't want to spend a penny!"

Xiao Wang said, "If it doesn't work, I'll bring a few more people tomorrow. If Lai keeps making excuses, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Old Chen waved his hands again and again: "No, no. Our mission is to promote anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese resistance. Everything else is secondary. Political Commissar Zhang has said more than once that the support of the people is more important than anything else. Besides, Manager Lai has a good reputation. If we do something to him because of this kind of thing, once it gets out, how will the people view the Anti-Japanese United Army?"

Dachun, who was standing in front of the window, suddenly said, "Ma Kai is back!"

As he spoke, he stood up and went out to open the door. After a while, Ma Kai, the guy with the flat head who was checking out the cash, walked in with a serious face.

"Where have you been all afternoon?"

Old Chen asked Ma Kai.

Xiao Wang leaned on the pillow and said with a chuckle, "Where else can he go? He must be going to find the affectionate and righteous Widow Jiang again!"

Ma Kai glared at him: "What do you mean? You are so sarcastic. Did Yuying offend you? What's the matter? They paid for everyone to have a meal and improve the food, and you made a mistake?"

"…What did I say, sister?"

Xiao Wang was a little embarrassed.

Old Chen came over, pushed aside Ma Kai, who was looking at him with a frown, and said, "You know that Xiao Wang likes to joke around, so why are you so angry? We are working behind enemy lines, so we must be united. Look at you, your nose is not a nose and your face is not a face. Are you going to fight?"

Ma Kai said, "You can make any joke you want, but don't make jokes about Yuying!"

Lao Chen tried to calm things down: "Alright, alright, we just had a few words, it's not a big deal, don't take it to heart, we will still be good comrades in the future."

Dachun said: "Before Secretary Zhao left, he told us that while he was away from the work team, everyone had to listen to Lao Chen. What Lao Chen said was an order!"

Ma Kai remained silent and pulled a stool to sit down. Lao Chen also sat down: "Besides, to be honest, we really have to thank Yuying for today's meal. She doesn't even know us, but she paid for us when she heard that we were Ma Kai's friend. Just for this reason, she is really kind and righteous!"

After hearing what Lao Chen said, Ma Kai's expression eased. He took out a copy of the Manchuria Daily News from his pocket, unfolded it and spread it on the table. He pointed to the picture on the front page of the news about Qi Yue executing Sun Erlong and said, "Do you think this police officer Qi looks familiar?"

Old Chen studied them for a while and murmured, "They look familiar. I seem to have seen them somewhere before... I remember them. They were from Shunxin Restaurant, the Transportation Bureau, and the one who came in last!"

"It's really similar."

Dachun and Xiaowang nodded.

Ma Kai said, "They are not just similar, they are exactly the same person! If he is Police Sergeant Qi, then the other two should also be spies."

Lao Chen asked: "Where did you get the newspaper?"

Ma Kai said, "I took it from Yuying's house. Oh, two months ago, someone went to her house... to visit and forgot to take it away. Yuying didn't throw it away and planned to keep it for the winter to use for the stove. I just happened to see it."

Old Chen said: "The police sergeant from the Special Agents Division deliberately disguised his identity and appeared in Lianhua Town... Could it be that he came for the work team?"

"what is it now?"

Dachun was very nervous.

Lao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Zhao will be back tomorrow. He will have a solution. Xiao Wang, notify the other comrades to stop all activities until they receive orders!"

Xiao Wang agreed and left in a hurry.

Dachun stood in front of the window for a while, watching Xiao Wang walk away. "If you ask me, Director Zhao should go back. What the hell is a thunder bomb? Over the years, the people of Lianhua Town have been harmed by him. He has done all kinds of evil things. Recruiting them... Alas."

Lao Chen said: "The Anti-Japanese National United Front is to unite all forces that can be united. No matter who the other party is, as long as they are truly anti-Japanese, they are the ones we will fight for!"

"Old Chen, that's very well said!"

Ma Kai gave a thumbs up.

Old Chen smiled and said, "It's not that I said it well, it's that Political Commissar Zhang taught me well. I just repeated Political Commissar Zhang's words verbatim."

Dachun was a little depressed: "It shows that you have a good brain. You can remember everything that Political Commissar Zhang said. I can't do that. I remember it at the time, but forget it later... Alas, I am not good at anything."

Lao Chen said, "Dachun, let me tell you, you are different from others! Everyone has their own strengths. For example, Xiao Wang is good at ideological work, Ma Kai is familiar with local conditions, and you are good at hands-on work. For example, taking photos is something that others cannot learn no matter how hard they try, but you can do it right away. That's your strength!"

Dachun was happy: "Old Chen, now that you put it like that, I feel much more relieved."

Old Chen patted him encouragingly, then turned to Ma Kai and said, "I just mentioned Yuying, and I want to say a few more words... Director Zhao also said before that, in principle, the work team will not interfere with your relationship with Yuying. But there is one thing, you two can be happy together, but the work team's affairs, including your own identity, must be kept confidential from her under any circumstances!"

Ma Kai said, "Old Chen, don't worry. I know what to say and what not to say. In addition, Yuying is a person of true love and loyalty. For example, when I invited everyone to dinner this time, I only said that I had a few friends. When Yuying heard it, she stuffed five dollars into my pocket and asked me to treat you to a good meal. I can't guarantee anything else, but she is definitely not a bad person!"
