The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 437 Small gathering
Reports about the attack on Personnel No. 76 came out, and the relevant details were gradually revealed. In short, it was a perfect assassination.

Time, place, heat.

They are all handled very accurately.

After hearing Xu Qinghe's complete report, Cheng Mo felt a little regretful. If he had planned this operation, perhaps the results could have been greater.

It was obvious that the Military Intelligence Bureau was the one that carried out the assassination. In the concession, there was no other organization except the Military Intelligence Bureau that could mobilize so many manpower and weapons to carry out such a large-scale assassination.

The accuracy of the intelligence the other party possessed made Cheng Mo astonished and astonished. It was not that he could not do it, but that he wanted to do it.

That requires a lot of time and effort, as well as control of the plan and grasp of the timing of the attack.

Chen Gongshu, one of the four major assassins of the Military Control Commission, does have some skills.

"No. 76 is now in chaos, and some seriously injured soldiers have been sent to the Japanese Army Hospital in Hongkou for surgery."

"Pay close attention. With such a huge loss, No. 76 is likely to retaliate. We don't care about other places, but we can't mess up our own little piece of land." Cheng Mo ordered.

"Yes."

……

When she returned home for lunch at noon, Su Moer also learned from the newspaper that someone from No. 76 had been assassinated, and she was a little worried.

Last night, she could feel that Cheng Mo was not sleeping well, as if something was on his mind.

Although there are many things Cheng Mo would not tell her, this is the family rule of the Military Control Commission, and even between husband and wife there are secrets.

She was worried that the assassination last night was planned by Cheng Mo. She was very clear about her man's abilities.

"Amo, according to today's newspaper, there was a gunfight at the Shanghai West Zhaofeng Club, and many people died."

"Mo'er, you don't think this was done by me?" Looking at his wife's worried eyes, Cheng Mo immediately understood what was going on.

"Not you?"

"Of course it's not me. This is the work of Shanghai District 1. I basically don't accept sanctions-related tasks now, so how could I plan such a large operation? Moreover, such an operation would easily leave clues at the scene, which would affect the entire body. I have a big task on hand now, so how could I distract my energy to do other things?" Cheng Mo explained.

"Then you woke up more often than usual last night, obviously you were a very light sleeper?"

"As for me, I drank a few more cups with you last night, so I couldn't sleep." Cheng Mo laughed. Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. He was indeed thinking about this matter last night. He didn't know whether the assassination of Zhaofeng General Association would happen because of his interference, and how it would happen.

After all, he had no idea what was happening in District 1 of Shanghai.

Su Moer's cheeks turned red: "Amo, if you want that and can't hold it back, you can go find Chiyoko..."

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment before he realized what Su Moer was talking about. There was a misunderstanding.

"Mo'er, I didn't..." This explanation made the situation worse.

Su Moer lowered her head and ate the rice in the bowl and said, "Amo, although I am a woman, I understand. I saw it this morning..."

"No, what did you see?"

Su Moer chuckled and glanced at the area between her legs.

Cheng Mo understood instantly: "Mo'er, you are a doctor, this is a normal physiological reaction, okay? Besides, even if I have some thoughts, they are for you..."

"This New Year's Day, please invite sister Chiyoko to come to our house as a guest."

"Isn't this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Before you broke through your relationship, she came over often. Now that you are like this, what's wrong with her coming to our house as a guest?" Su Moer said.

"It will be embarrassing for her with this identity."

"Aren't you going to take responsibility?" Su Moer asked back.

"I……"

"Let's settle the status earlier. It's not good to do things secretly and people will always spread gossip about you. I'm not a jealous woman." Su Moer said.

"Mo'er, are you serious?" Cheng Mo took a deep breath and asked.

"If not, can you and Chiyoko finally break up?" Su Moer asked, "Can you do it now?"

"No, we are all soldiers of the Party and the country. According to the regulations, we are not allowed to marry concubines. We cannot do anything that violates the family rules. Even if we have a special status, we cannot do this." Cheng Mo shook his head. This is absolutely not allowed. You can do it secretly and get along with her as a confidante, but you must never show it in public.

This is against family rules. Although it is not forbidden for ordinary people to take concubines, it is not allowed by party discipline and national laws. Monogamy is a symbol of civilization.

Cheng Mo is a soldier of the Party and the country, so he naturally cannot violate the regulations. At the same time, he is also a believer in communism, so he cannot violate the party's discipline even more.

Some things can be done as a stopgap measure, but matters of principle cannot be violated.

He also needs to explain this matter clearly to Chiyoko, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Are you going to let sister Chiyoko follow you without any status?" Su Moer asked.

"I don't know either. If possible, I can only compensate her in the next life. After all, I owe her this." Cheng Mo sighed.

Su Moer felt a little sour. She was very moved by Cheng Mo's choice. After all, which woman doesn't want to have her husband completely? Only a few women are willing to give him up to others, unless they don't love the man at all.

But it would be fine if it was just a mistake between Cheng Mo and Chiyoko, but the problem is that both parties have other purposes, and there are various people behind the scenes helping to bring them together.

Don't be isolated from each other easily.

This is the trouble.

If she were asked to leave on her own initiative, she would absolutely not do it. What's more, she was pregnant. How could the child be without a father before it was born?

Besides, she's not that generous.

"Okay, I have to go to work. I may be back late at night, so you don't have to wait for me to eat." Cheng Mo gave instructions and drove back to the police station.

……

In the evening, he made an appointment with Shen Mo, Lao Miao and Dachun for dinner. The focus was to discuss the plan to rescue Gao and Tao. Old Wu was supposed to come too, but he happened to be on patrol that night and couldn't leave.

It was all because of the assassination attempt at the Zhaofeng Club that the nearby French Concession was also in a state of panic. Many people at No. 76 lived in the French Concession, not in Huacun.

However, after this incident, the people at No. 76 dared not go in or out alone, for fear of being left alone and encountering assassins from the Military Control Commission.

The Japanese gendarmerie detachment in western Shanghai has also increased its manpower and patrol capabilities. It looks like the situation will be tense for a while.

The unlucky ones are the ordinary people in the west of Shanghai. They don't know what these Japanese devils and traitors and spies will do next.

Anyway, there were more armed patrolmen on the streets, Japanese military police standing guard at key intersections, machine guns and hunting dogs were added to the main traffic routes.

Gather around the stove and have a small hot pot.

Everyone bought some food. Cheng Mo brought some wine, Dachun brought a roast chicken and some peanuts, Shen Mo bought some beef and pork head, and Lao Miao bought some mutton...

Such gatherings are rare.

We have been apart for a long time at our respective posts and have not seen each other often, so it is inevitable that our relationship has become a little distant. Occasionally getting together for a meal can not only help us understand each other's work situation, but also enhance our relationship.

"cheers!"

The four wine glasses clinked together and the strong liquor went down their throats, what a refreshing feeling.

"Second brother can't come at the last minute, I'll send his share to him tomorrow." Shen Mo put down his wine glass and said, "I don't know when the fourth brother will be released."

"See you this year."

"Oh, if I had known this earlier, I would have let him find an excuse not to go," said Lao Miao.

"If he doesn't go, how can he gain the trust of Pershing and the head of No. 76? This is considered a meritorious service." Shen Mo said, "After he comes out, he will definitely be reused. When the time comes, we will arrange for him to have a few more merits, and Kuizi will be able to become an important nail we planted in No. 76."

"Third brother is right. Fourth brother has infiltrated No. 76. Only by constantly making contributions can he move up to a higher position, and then he can obtain more confidential information. For this goal, it is worth it to endure a little hardship." Dachun also echoed.

"Fifth brother, we are going to have a top-secret operation next, you have to prepare the car for me." Cheng Mo ordered.

"Don't worry, team leader, there is no problem on my side." Dachun said, patting his chest.

"Lao Miao, you have to participate in this rescue operation as well. Wait for my instructions." Cheng Mo said, "The time is not yet determined, it should be carried out after New Year's Day."

"clear."
