Mahjong

Chapter 80

"Then what if I can't handle it?" Xu Bicheng jumped angrily, "What are you going to do? Teach me not to think about emergencies, I think you are the one who cares about your head." Chen Shen smiled, "Didn't you want to find 'Project Zero'? How do you find it without taking a little risk?"

Xu Bicheng was taken aback, looked at Chen Shen and said, "Could it be that you want to help me find it?"

There was a knock on the door.Xu Bicheng suddenly became nervous again. She felt that her nerves had been tense since Chen Shen entered the file room.

The door opened, and Bi Zhongliang's wife Liu Lanzhi came in.When Liu Lanzhi came here this time, it was Bi Zhongliang who asked Chen Shen to have dinner at Huamao Restaurant at night, and it was the director Li's team from the headquarters.Everyone has to bring their families, Xu Bicheng and Tang Shanhai are also present.Liu Lanzhi asked Chen Shen to take Li Xiaonan with him, but Chen Shen was unwilling and was severely educated by Liu Lanzhi.The three chatted and laughed for a while, and then separated.

Although the crisis on Chen Shen's side was resolved, it was not so smooth on Tang Shanhai's side.

He made an appointment with Tao Dachun to meet in the park, and Tao Dachun came pretending to be a shoe shiner.Tang Shanhai had already arrived ahead of schedule, and was sitting on a bench reading a newspaper. He glanced in the direction of Tao Dachun inadvertently, and then turned his head back as if nothing had happened.He noticed a thin man wearing a scarf, hat and sunglasses appearing furtively not far away.Tao Dachun didn't notice it, he walked slowly in front of Tang Shanhai, "Sir, are you shining shoes?" Tang Shanhai shook his head without raising his head.

Tao Dachun was a little surprised, but he left without saying anything.After Tao Dachun walked a few steps, he pretended to bow his head to tie his shoelaces. Looking back, he just saw a figure of a man wearing a scarf and hid behind a tree.He didn't see the man's face clearly, but it was obvious that he was being followed.He exchanged glances with Tang Shanhai, and still calmly asked the next passerby: "Madam, do you want to shine your shoes?"

The scarf man continued to follow Tao Dachun.He walked in front of Tang Shanhai, obviously not seeing any other clues.

Tang Shanhai covered his face with newspapers to prevent the man with the scarf from seeing him. His peripheral vision scanned the soles of his feet, and he could see a piece of repaired oval rubber.

Tao Dachun dodges into an alley, takes out the gun in his arms at the corner of the alley, and prepares to ambush the follower.

The scarf man appeared at the entrance of the alley, looked at the empty alley, realized that Tao Dachun might be ambushing him, stood for a while, then turned and left.

Tang Shanhai had been quietly observing the movement of the man in the scarf in a hidden corner, with a stern expression on his face.Tao Dachun was being followed, which link went wrong?Was it the puppet Wang who discovered the whereabouts?Or is there a spy within the military command?

Tang Shanhai hoped that Tao Dachun could quickly deal with this person. According to the usual practice, he would meet Tao Dachun again at the second alternative meeting point the next day.Will there be another problem next time?
In the Tang family's apartment, Tang Shanhai had already changed into a suit, looked at Xu Bicheng behind him, and paused slightly with his bow-tie hand, "You mean, Chen Shen said that he would help you get the 'Return to Zero Plan'?"

When he just came back, Xu Bicheng told him everything that happened in the morning.Tang Shanhai was silent for a while, and heard Xu Bicheng say: "He didn't say that explicitly, but I don't know what he did in the archives room."

"Then what were you doing then?"

"He asked me to help him watch the wind, and it was almost discovered."

Tang Shanhai frowned, "Why do I think he's not so kind?" Xu Bicheng looked a little excited after hearing this, "What do you mean?" Tang Shanhai straightened his bow tie in front of the mirror, "I'm afraid that he is a 'sparrow' of the CCP. Helping you is actually using you. I'm just doing a rational analysis, so don't react so strongly."

Xu Bicheng was tongue-tied.She admits that she is too emotional, and many times she trusts Chen Shen even more than Tang Shanhai.Tang Shanhai sighed, "Let's not talk about that for now. Something happened when I was meeting Lao Tao today."

"What's wrong?" Xu Bicheng asked nervously.

"Someone is following Lao Tao."

"Does Lao Tao know?"

Tang Shanhai shook his head, "I don't know who the other party is yet, tomorrow I will go to the second place to meet Lao Tao again."

Xu Bicheng felt a little uneasy all day long.When she arrived at Huamao Hotel, she didn't see Bi Zhongliang's figure. Several female family members were sitting at the dining table drinking tea and chatting.Liu Lanzhi told her that a distinguished guest was coming tonight, Xu Bicheng and Tang Shanhai looked at each other, and saw that both he and Chen Shen looked worried, obviously they understood the general situation, and knew that tonight's situation might not be so simple.

The door of the box opened, and Bi Zhongliang, Li Moqun and his wife walked into the room.Xu Bicheng stood up to greet him, Tang Shanhai whispered something in his ear, Xu Bicheng froze, and then quietly disappeared his uneasiness, and greeted Li Moqun together with everyone.

Li Moqun seemed very interested, and sat on the chair and asked with a smile, "Is it all here?" Chen Shen didn't see his face, so he couldn't help exchanging glances with Xu Bicheng and Tang Shanhai, and they both had the same question in their hearts—I don't know. Who is it that is sacred this time?

Tang Shanhai took the lead to say: "Uncle, I brought two bottles of good wine that have been preserved for many years. TVO's brandy is my favorite, and Jonahuake's whiskey is also very good. I brought these two bottles of wine all the way from Chongqing. , I specially invited my uncle to taste it."

Li Moqun shook his empty wine glass, "I can, but Zhongliang and Chen Shen probably won't like it." Bi Zhongliang laughed, "Forgive me, I bring my own flower carvings, you can do whatever you want." Chen Shen said: "I still follow the old rules. , Kvass." Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Tang Shanhai poured a glass of wine for Bi Zhongliang, seemingly unintentionally said: "I just heard from Mrs. Bi that there is a new friend today?"

Bi Zhongliang nodded, "My friend will arrive later, let's eat first."

Tang Shanhai raised his brows slightly, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

The dark clouds rolled, and the thick clouds became heavier and heavier in such a gloomy night, making it difficult to breathe.

A flash of lightning flashed by, thunder rumbled, it rained heavily, and puddles quickly formed on the ground.The dinner in the private room was still going on, and the cups were exchanged, and it was peaceful, like singing and dancing before a catastrophe, and I was tired and had to tense my nerves.And the source of all this has come from far and near in the rain.

The driver was Bi Zhongliang's subordinate Liu Erbao, and a man wearing a scarf sat in the passenger seat.His name is Su Sansheng, the current deputy head of the military-controlled Shanghai District.Liu Erbao got out of the car first to hold an umbrella for Su Sansheng, and said respectfully, "Mr. Su, Director Li of No. 76 Headquarters and all of us are waiting for you in the VIP hall."

Su Sansheng nodded and walked into the gate of Huamao Hotel.Liu Erbao sent him to the door, then returned immediately, and ordered his subordinates to guard all the doorways of the hotel, prohibiting all people from entering or leaving.Another tarpaulin cart also arrived quietly. Biantou, Ada, Aqing and others got out of the car in the rain, all wearing black military rain capes, and lined up to stand by.

Biantou walked slowly towards Liu Erbao, "The first action team is here, when will we start?" Liu Erbao put a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Wait." Biantou was puzzled, "What is the mission? Such a heavy rain , and called us so urgently, I just finished half of my dinner."

Liu Erbao rolled his head and said, "Important task, wait to receive the reward."

There was a knock on the door of the box, and Li Moqun, who was pushing a drink during the banquet, said with a smile: "Hey, our new friend is here."

The door was pushed open, and Su Sansheng, whose body was half wet by the rain, appeared at the door of the box and bowed to everyone.Tang Shanhai caught a glimpse of the scarf around his neck, and couldn't help frowning.Li Moqun wiped the corners of his mouth with a tablecloth unhurriedly, and said under the surprised eyes of everyone: "This is Su Sanxing, the deputy district chief of the Military Command Shanghai District. He has already turned his back on the dark side, and we will all be on the same boat from now on."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the raindrops slapped on the glass, making a rushing sound of rain.

Tang Shanhai's face was serious, but Su Sansheng bowed to him first, with a humble tone: "Mr. Tang, before you came to Chongqing, Su has admired you for a long time..."

Tang Shanhai bowed back and said, "Mr. Su is polite." Su Sansheng looked at Chen Shen with a smile and said, "Captain Chen is the number two person on the list of the Hurricane Team of the Military Command, and I have admired him for a long time."

Chen Shen let out a long sigh. He looked at Su Sansheng's strand of hair drooping in front of his forehead, dripping water.

And Su Sansheng looked like a water ghost that had just been fished up from the bottom of the water, his body was full of dampness.Under his feet was a large puddle of water dripping down his trousers, wet around him, as if he was about to melt.Chen Shen couldn't help but misplaced himself, and yelled at Bi Zhongliang: "Listen, old Bi, I've already become number two! Following you, I'll be unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was lively.Tang Shanhai noticed that Su Sansheng was staring at him all the time, and those eyes had a strange shadow.Tang Shanhai didn't know how much he knew, so he smiled perfunctorily at him and turned his head away.

Li Moqun patted the table twice, "To tell you the truth, when Mr. Su came to see me, I felt like I found a treasure." Tang Shanhai's mouth curved slightly, and he picked up a chopstick dish, "Mr. Su must have given No. 76 Bring a meeting gift?"

Su Sansheng pretended to be modest, "It's a small gesture, not a respect." Then he took out a piece of wet paper from his pocket, and tried his best not to tear the paper.Su Sansheng said, "Here are the secret addresses, personnel lists, and code names of the military-controlled Shanghai branches."

Xu Bicheng clenched his fists under the table in panic.The personnel list of the military command sub-station, if this list is true and records their secret addresses and code names in detail, then she and Tang Shanhai will be exposed!

Li Moqun applauded first, and the others followed suit.Xu Bicheng could only clap mechanically, his palms were covered with sweat.
