The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 454 Asking for help
"Brother Kui, you are in No. 76. I only have one request of you. Do your best to help Pershing while ensuring your own safety." Cheng Mo said solemnly.

"clear."

"Also, the maintenance worker's liaison work will continue to be left to you, but remember not to reveal your identity. Chu Yapeng may not be able to fully trust you."

"Yes."

"The New Year is coming soon, and we have to get together. We won't arrange it here with Lao Miao this year. Let's go to another place and wait for Lao Miao to notify you." Cheng Mo said, "You just came out, go back quickly."

"Don't worry. If anyone asks me, I'll just say that I've been in the detention center for too long and came out to find a woman to relieve myself. It's been a while, so they probably won't ask any more questions."

"You can't make too many excuses like this. Once or twice is fine, but too many is not okay." Cheng Mo nodded.

"know."

"Lao Miao, please send Fourth Brother Kui off. I'll wait for Third Brother. He should be here by the agreed time." Cheng Mo frowned slightly. In addition to meeting Kuizi, Shen Mo should also be here.

Lao Miao nodded, stood up and walked Kuizi out.

After Lao Miao sent Kuizi away, he came back and waited with Cheng Mo for a while. Shen Mo still hadn't come. Cheng Mo couldn't wait any longer and had to leave.

He cannot be away from his post for too long in broad daylight. Even though no one is watching him, he still needs to be cautious.

"If the third brother comes, tell me and I will go directly to him in the evening." Cheng Mo ordered. Shen Mo is in the Lido Nightclub and is now the head dancer, but he is the most low-key head dancer. However, he is the confidant of Gao Xinbao's younger brother Gao Amao, so he is much freer than before.

"I know, don't worry." Lao Miao took a puff of his pipe and nodded.

This kind of temporary emergency is very common in underground work behind enemy lines, because one might be delayed by something and unable to keep an appointment on time.

Therefore, do not panic and stay calm. In most cases, there will be no problem.

Getting panicked at the slightest sign of trouble is a big taboo when lurking behind enemy lines. If you work in this mood, you will not be able to accomplish anything.

This is called maintaining strategic focus.

……

Shen Mo was indeed held up by something. He had already prepared to leave home and go to Lao Miao's grocery store.

Who would have thought that an old acquaintance from long time ago would come to visit.

He changed jobs and moved many times, and he tried his best to avoid his old acquaintances. Unexpectedly, he was still recognized.

This person is Sheng Dafu, who assassinated Qian Damazi.

After he and his wife, Cheng Qing, a dancer at the Ciro's Ballroom, assassinated Qian Damazi, they immediately took away all the valuables in the house and fled, but they did not escape Shanghai.

They also know that if they run away immediately without any preparation, the chances of being caught will be the highest.

It would be better to lie in wait and leave after the storm has passed.

Although the assassination of Qian Damazi was a spur-of-the-moment idea, the couple had made some preparations for emergencies.

For example, fake identity documents. Also, they work in a dance hall. Their makeup and disguise skills may not be very sophisticated, but at least they can easily fool ordinary people.

Therefore, both the police station and No. 76 thought that they had escaped at the first opportunity. In addition to issuing a wanted order, they also sent portraits of the two to stations, docks and major checkpoints, requesting that they be intercepted and arrested at the first opportunity.

So, they used fake identities and put on makeup to disguise themselves so that others could not recognize them, and then they separated and found a small hotel to stay in. If they left, they would be more easily exposed.

Moreover, even if a small hotel has concerns, they usually won't make trouble and will mostly turn a blind eye. In fact, the danger is not that great.

It's Chinese New Year, and there are too many people coming and going, whether they are going home for the New Year or coming to Shanghai to visit relatives. It is extremely difficult to find two people who have hidden their identities in a city of millions.

Generally speaking, if you fail to catch someone on the spot, you basically have to rely on luck to catch them again.

Sheng Dafu and Cheng Qing had lived in Shanghai for many years and joined the Military Control Commission. They were part of the periphery of the intelligence group, so they naturally knew more than ordinary people and were more courageous and careful.

Therefore, they can always evade the pursuit of the patrol and No. 76. Now one of them disguises herself as a beggar, and the other lives in a small hotel called "Fuchun" on Daxilu Road in the name of visiting relatives.

Shen Mo had worked at Ciro's, and Sheng Dafu was already a head dancer, so it was natural that the two knew each other.

But we don’t have a deep personal relationship.

However, Sheng Dafu felt that Shen Mo was not an ordinary person. However, because Shen Mo had not been in Xianles for a long time, less than a year, he wanted to get to know him better. He found out that Shen Mo had actually jumped from Xianles to Lido.

Lido is also a famous high-end dance hall in Shanghai. When Shen Mo went there, his treatment naturally improved a lot.

People in the same industry are enemies. If Sheng Dafu continues to want to make friends with Shen Mo, he will probably bring himself into unnecessary trouble.

After all, he was not an ordinary employee, but a head dancer, which could easily cause misunderstanding.

However, when he took action this time, he found that he couldn't find anyone who could help him.

Isn't it said that the couple are peripheral members of the Military Intelligence Group?
The periphery was good, but the action to assassinate Qian Damazi was their own initiative, not an operation task arranged by the Military Control Commission.

Moreover, during this period, the Military Control Commission was too ruthless in assassinating the No. 76 important figure, and now all of them have either moved away or are lying in wait.

They wanted to go to the original contact point for help, but found that the person was gone.

It is estimated that the Military Control Commission was also looking for them after learning about the assassination, but the problem is that once the contact is cut off, it will be very difficult to reestablish it.

So, Sheng Dafu, with nowhere else to go, found Shen Mo. Of course, Shen Mo's current name is nothing. After he went undercover, he used another identity "Tang Yongren". His documents are all real and his files can be checked.

Everyone knows that he has a nickname: "Xiao Hei".

Shen Mo switched to Lido, but his residence remained the same. Sheng Dafu was able to be recruited into the outer circle of the Military Intelligence Group because of his ability, which was his photographic memory.

When Shen Mo filled in his address when he started working, he memorized his address.

Now we are following the clues.

Out of caution, he observed near Shen Mo's house for a long time, then pretended to be a beggar, and when he saw Shen Mo go out, he rushed up to him: "Master, please be kind and give me something to eat!"

Shen Mo was in a hurry to go out, but he didn't expect to meet a beggar at the door. He was also a little anxious. He took out two copper coins from his pocket and threw them into the broken bowl. With a crisp jingle, he said, "Take it and buy two cakes."

I thought the beggar would be satisfied with the two copper coins, but who knew that the other party would grab his trouser roll and say, "Brother Xiaohei, save me!"

This frightened Shen Mo so much that his hair stood on end. He immediately squatted down and took a closer look at the beggar's dirty face. He said in a lost voice, "Sheng Daban, why is it you? There are wanted posters of you everywhere outside, and you haven't left yet?"
