The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 433: Another Traitor
Su Moer has been pregnant for more than three months, and her taste has changed a little. The snacks prepared for her at home have also become sweet and sour.

I like sour food.

It is normal for a woman's taste to change when she is pregnant. There is a saying among the people that "sour boy, spicy girl".

However, this is not completely correct, it is just a statistic of high probability.

Many Chinese proverbs were summarized by the ancients using statistics, which is also a kind of science.

Of course, there is a difference between phenomenon and essence.

It’s been more than three months and my pregnancy is not yet fully apparent, but my belly is already slightly bulging. As time goes by, half a year will pass quickly.

Although Xiaoyu is young, she is careful in her work and her cooking skills are not bad. Even if she doesn’t know how to do something, she can learn it quickly.

After getting along with Su Moer, Cheng Mo felt pretty good and had no plans to change her.

Tan Xiaoya and Lui Lok got married on New Year's Day. They didn't plan to have a grand wedding, but they still had a few tables of banquet and invited colleagues and friends.

The wedding house was rented. With Lu Le's salary, he couldn't afford to buy a house in the concession, but renting a house was not much pressure.

Now, with Tan Xiaoya's salary from the hospital, the two of them rent a house in the concession and their life is still decent.

Of course Cheng Mo could lend him money to buy a small house, but he would not take the initiative to talk about such things unless Lu Le mentioned it himself.

After all, Lu Le had a house in the countryside. If the other party had no intention of buying a house in the concession, he would be misunderstood if he asked for it himself.

If the patrol officers in the concession cannot be promoted, few of them can work until they are over 40 years old. If something unexpected happens, they will be dismissed.

Without income, how can we repay a large foreign debt if we owe it?
Therefore, most of the patrolmen working in the concession lived in dormitories. Only when they got married and wanted to start a family would they rent a house or share a house with several others.

Lu Le's luck is extremely good, otherwise, how would he have the chance to get married?
It costs money to marry a wife. If you have no money, your wife will follow you and eat and drink whatever you want. Even if your wife has a job and can support herself, once she gets pregnant and has to give birth, she won't be able to work. Then, if you have no money, how can you starve in a big city like Shanghai?

Unless you go back to the countryside to give birth.

Most of the people from other places who do not own a house in Shanghai have either already married in their hometowns or are afraid to settle down in this city.

Only a very small number of people can stay.

Most people choose to make money and then go back to their hometown to get married.

Therefore, even though Lui Lok was his subordinate, he would not interfere too much in other people's private affairs. There are too many cases of gratitude and grudge.

He had considered developing Lui Lok, but ultimately rejected the idea. This kind of thing would take up a lot of energy and would easily expose himself, so he would try not to do it if possible, as he was not good at this kind of thing.

Just let Lao Xu do this. He is one of us anyway, he just doesn't know his identity.

……

Cheng Mo's rescue work for Gao and Tao was proceeding in an orderly manner. Wan Molin was very efficient, the Green Gang was still very powerful in the concession, and with the prestige of Boss Du, the former underground emperor, many things were naturally much easier to accomplish.

Who in the French Concession doesn't give Boss Du some face?
The only way to get rid of Gao and Tao quietly was to get rid of No. 76's surveillance during the retreat.

And after being sent on board, leave in time so as not to give No. 76 and the Japanese time to react.

Once discovered, if the Japanese warships block the entrance to the Huangpu River, they may be shut out, so in terms of time connection, they must pay attention to seamless connection. In other words, the departure time of the ship arranged by Wan Molin and the time it takes Cheng Mo to send the two to the dock are only half an hour at most.

It would take about an hour for No. 76 to discover the two people missing, report it, and then report it to the Japanese side, even if they were extremely efficient.

In other words, the two people must be sent on board the ship within an hour and leave Shanghai.

Of course, it would take more than an hour for the Wang Puppet regime to coordinate with the Japanese to intercept and board the ship for inspection from the time they discovered the two were missing, because there were already conflicts between the Japanese army and navy. It would be good enough for the navy to cooperate with the army and they would not be too sad at all.

Moreover, if a diplomatic dispute arises due to intercepting foreign ships, who will be responsible?

Therefore, once people get on the boat and go out to sea, they are basically safe.

It is still uncertain which ship we will take, but it will definitely be a ship from Europe or the United States. We will take whichever one is suitable.

They had to wait until the secret agreement between the Wang Puppet Regime and the Japanese was signed, and Gao and Tao had to photograph the secret agreement with a microfilm camera before they could set off.

Therefore, the time is not fixed yet and we must make preparations and wait.

However, the transportation and escort personnel for evacuating from the concession must be prepared in advance, and the evacuation plan for Mrs. Tao's family after the two of them evacuate is also being prepared.

……

After giving out the information about Tan Shaoliang, Cheng Mo waited for several days but still saw no related action from the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District 1, so he didn't ask any more questions.

It has long been a principle that neither party should interfere with the other's actions.

Instead of waiting for the news of Tan Shaoliang's assassination, we received the sad news that the organization of Shanghai District 76 was cracked down by No. , and this time it was still a traitor who betrayed them.

The traitor's name is Wanlilang. It is unclear how he was dragged into the water by No. 76, but it was because of his treason and betrayal.

Shanghai District 1 lost dozens of people, and an action team was almost wiped out.

What's even more thrilling is that Zheng Xiuyuan, the secretary-general of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District 76, was almost deceived by Wan Lilang and given to No. as a token of his allegiance.

Fortunately, this man was an old agent and based on his experience, when he noticed something was wrong during the meeting, he immediately turned around and ran away, thus escaping the disaster.

Zheng Xiuyuan is the second-in-command of Shanghai District 1 and the contact person of the "Dark Fire" group. Lao Qi's identity is at risk of being exposed, so after being transferred, he became the communication point with the "Dark Fire" group.

If Zheng Xiuyuan was arrested, the "Dark Fire" would be at risk of being exposed. When Shen Mo heard the news that Zheng Xiuyuan was almost arrested, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although his contact method and meeting place with Zheng Xiuyuan were not fixed, he didn't know where Zheng Xiuyuan lived and Zheng Xiuyuan didn't know either, but Zheng Xiuyuan had mastered the way to contact and meet him.

If Zheng Xiuyuan were arrested, confessed, and a trap was set for him, it would be a big disaster.

The traitor Wan Lilang knew Zheng Xiuyuan, so the risk of Zheng Xiuyuan being exposed while in the concession increased exponentially.

Once Zheng Xiuyuan is transferred, who will replace him as the liaison officer of "Dark Fire"?
This is obviously impossible for Cheng Mo to decide. It is just an internal affair of Shanghai District 1. Cheng Mo does not even have the right to make suggestions, let alone interfere.

As a result, the intelligence exchange between "Dark Fire" and Shanghai District 1 will be temporarily interrupted.
