Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 122
"Why can't you inquire now? If you don't dare, I will ask myself." Ye Zijin said and wanted to make a phone call.

Meng Haoxiang grabbed the phone with a solemn expression, "Zijin, calm down, wait and see, maybe Zizheng just came home late, since he has been engaged in underground work for three years, trust him There is also a sense of propriety in doing things.”

Ye Zizheng was on the verge of collapse, and Zizheng was her biggest weakness. Once something happened to Zizheng, her whole body would be completely messed up.

"No, I can't just wait like this. If Zizheng is caught, it will be really bad luck. It's not like you haven't heard of the torture there." Ye Zijin took the handbag and hurried to the door. go outside.

Meng Haoxiang strode forward to stop her, dragged her back, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who can you go to? Who in Shanghai is willing to get involved with the Communist Party now? It's too late for others to hide, so if you ask rashly like this, it will arouse suspicion. "

"Then what can I do, I can't sit idly by and let the relationship go, can I? Zizheng is my younger brother, and I will save him no matter what." Ye Zijin ignored Meng Haoxiang's obstruction and wanted to go out no matter what.

Meng Haoxiang stood in front of the door, his eyes were sharp, and there was an imposing manner that could not be disobeyed, but seeing Ye Zijin's anxious look holding back tears, his heart softened again, and said: "Don't go tonight, I will find a way tomorrow, Zizheng will be fine."

"Haoxiang, I know this matter is embarrassing for you. If it's not convenient for you to intervene, I'll find a way, and I don't want to involve you." Ye Zijin gradually calmed down. Thinking carefully, Meng Haoxiang's worries were not unreasonable, and everything was involved because of this. People who go in will be somewhat suspicious. Liao Yuanfeng is a cautious person. If Zizheng really falls into his hands, it may be difficult to rescue people from him.

Meng Haoxiang stroked her shoulder, took her into his arms and comforted him: "Why tell me such a thing, Zizheng is also my relative, and I will definitely not stay out of it, but you have to allow me to think about countermeasures first. It's really the worst, and I will try my best to rescue Zizheng."

That night, Zi Zheng didn't come home, Ye Zijin tossed and turned, and felt more and more uneasy, but she didn't know who to ask for help.

In the room, only one desk lamp was on. Meng Haoxiang took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and bit it in his mouth, took out a long and thin stem from the matchbox, and scratched it on the phosphor surface, slightly Bright lights danced in the dark room.He didn't light a cigarette, just watched the match burn out, and fell into endless contemplation...

Before dawn, Meng Haoxiang went out early. He just reassured Ye Zijin, but he didn't tell Ye Zijin where he was going or who he wanted to see.After Meng Haoxiang left, Ye Zijin stood by the window, watching him gradually walk away, but her heart was tightly held together.Will the matter of Zizheng bring trouble to Meng Haoxiang, what should she do...

Ye Zijin stared out of the window blankly, feeling confused and fearful again, she didn't want to lose any of them.At this time, a person's name suddenly came to mind, and Ye Zijin thought of Zhao Zhimei. Since Zhimei and Zizheng are the same way, then Zhimei must have a way to contact their organization. Is it possible to find their organization through Zhimei? Help save Zizheng?Ye Zijin seemed to see a glimmer of hope, tidied up hastily and went downstairs.

The lilacs downstairs have already bloomed a lot, with a faint melancholy atmosphere, a few wisps of morning light sprinkled on it, the beauty is a little unreal, like purple smoke that will dissipate with a light blow, so light that there is nothing left Sigh.

Ye Zijin rang the doorbell of Zhao Zhimei's house, and after ringing it twice, she heard someone slowly approaching inside.The small square hole in the door was opened, and a pair of eyes were shrouded in shadows.The person inside asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Ye Zijin was a little strange, the maid at Zhimei's house had seen her before, so why would she ask who she was.

"Hi, I'm Miss Zhao's friend, my name is Ye Zijin, I have something to ask Miss Zhao." Ye Zijin replied politely.

The man was silent for a moment, then said again: "My lady doesn't see any visitors today, you can go."

Ye Zijin felt that the maid's voice did not sound as crisp as before, and suspected that it was a different person.Seeing that this person treated her coldly, Ye Zijin said patiently, "I just want to see Miss Zhao, and I won't disturb you for too long."

At this time, Zhao Zhimei's voice came from inside the door, "Mo Xiang, who is it?"

After the master and servant negotiated in low voices, the door opened with a click.Standing next to Zhao Zhimei was a young woman of medium build, with two shiny braids and a pair of red phoenix eyes. There was a kind of aggressive aura in her eyes, and her expression was a little arrogant. Ye Zijin rarely saw a person with a pretty delicate appearance. A young woman can have such courage.

Moxiang pulled Ye Zijin into the room, poked out half of his head cautiously, glanced outside, and then gently closed the door.

"Zhimei, is this person reliable?" Mo Xiang looked at Ye Zijin suspiciously.

Zhao Zhimei took Ye Zijin to the living room, and said: "She is my best friend. Last time I went to meet Lao Qi and was attacked, she saved me."

"So she is also a comrade in our party?" Moxiang's eyes softened a little.

Ye Zijin said: "I am not."

Moxiang's expression immediately became tense again, still worried about Ye Zijin's identity, and asked tentatively, "What are you doing here with Zhimei?"

"I'm asking Zhimei for something..." Ye Zijin hesitated.

Zhao Zhimei interrupted Mo Xiang who wanted to continue asking, "I said she is my friend, I believe her, you don't want to continue the interrogation." Then he turned to Ye Zijin and introduced: "This is the superior The new assistant Sun Moxiang arranged for me has practiced knives and horses in the theater troupe since he was a child, and he knows some punches."

It was only then that Ye Zijin understood why this woman was different, she had the aura of a woman who would not give way to a man.

"Zijin, you also know that my current situation is very dangerous. Once my identity is revealed, I will be ready to evacuate at any time, so Moxiang is so nervous." Zhao Zhimei explained.

"Well, I understand, you must be more careful during this period, how is your injury?" Ye Zijin asked.

Zhao Zhimei smiled and said, "Thanks to Dr. Du, my injury is almost healed."

After the two sat down, Zhao Zhimei remembered that Ye Zijin came to her to ask for something, seeing Ye Zijin's anxious look, she quickly asked: "Zijin, did you come to me for something else? "

Ye Zijin heard from Zhimei that the organization had arranged new assistants for her, and she must have contacted their organization through other channels, so there was hope for Zizheng's rescue.

"My younger brother Zizheng is also a member of the Communist Party. He disappeared last night. I suspect he was arrested. I haven't got any definite information yet. If he was really arrested by the investigation department, I would like you to find a way to find out. See if you can help me save him..." Ye Zijin hesitated, holding a handkerchief tightly in his hand.

Moxiang immediately asked, "What's your brother's name?"

"His name is Ye Zizheng. He is about the same age as you. He should have joined your organization three years ago. He returned to Shanghai not long ago. He said that there were traitors in Nanjing, so he came back to Shanghai. I It is guessed that Zizheng revealed his identity while looking for a connector." Ye Zijin said.

Moxiang shook his head and said, "Since he joined the party three years ago, he is also an experienced underground worker. How could he rush to find a connector when he knew he had been exposed? This is not in line with our organization's regulations."

"He said that the underground organization in Shanghai is in danger, so he wants to find a contact person to assist you in your work as soon as possible. After all, he also has some information about Nanjing, which may be beneficial to Shanghai, so he is anxious to return to the organization... "Ye Zijin believes that her younger brother has a firm belief. Since he must have his reasons for doing so, she guessed that Zizheng knew some important information.

Zhao Zhimei was silent for a moment, and said: "Let me send a message first to ask if there is such a person in my hometown. If Zizheng is our comrade, the organization will definitely find a way to rescue him."

"Zhimei, is this too hasty? Our current situation is not safe." Mo Xiang reminded.

Zhao Zhimei looked at Ye Zijin and said, "Let's ask first, there have been quite a few comrades who died at this station in Shanghai recently, and it's a good idea to save one."

"Okay." Moxiang had no choice but to give up, turned around and went upstairs.

"Thank you, Zhimei." Ye Zijin thanked.

Zhao Zhimei smiled and said: "You and I have so many years of friendship, no need to thank you. By the way, I don't think I have ever met your brother. Do you have his photo?"

Ye Zijin took out a pocket watch from her handbag, opened the cover of the pocket watch, and there was a small photo inside the cover.It was a photo of Zizheng and her in the photo studio when she was admitted to Nanyang Public School. The color has faded, but the faces of the two of them can still be seen clearly.

Zhao Zhimei took the pocket watch and looked at it carefully, frowned and said: "I seem to have seen it somewhere, it looks familiar, but I just can't remember it for a while."

Zhao Zhimei handed back the pocket watch to Ye Zijin, still trying to remember.Ye Zijin put away the pocket watch and said, "Maybe there are some people who look alike. I also remember that you have never seen Zizheng before."

"Well, maybe I remembered wrong..." Zhao Zhimei said lightly.

After leaving Zhao Zhimei's house, Ye Zijin was really worried about Meng Haoxiang, so she called a foreign car and went straight to Baohui Foreign Firm.

When Ye Zijin rushed to Meng Haoxiang's office, he saw that Meng Haoxiang had just hung up a phone call.

"Have you found out where Zizheng is?" Ye Zijin held his breath, not daring to pant, his heart beating violently.

Meng Haoxiang looked normal, and said, "It's not as serious as you imagined, but it's still a bit tricky."

"What's going on?" Ye Zijin was very anxious, for fear that Zizheng would be tortured.

Meng Haoxiang pulled her to the sofa and sat down, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, holding the cup with her cold hands.Ye Zijin saw the tea leaves floating in the water gradually sinking to the bottom of the cup, but her heart was already hanging in the air.

"Yesterday Liao Yuanfeng arrested a communist in Keats Hospital, and then arrested a group of suspected accomplices in the hospital, including Zizheng. Liao Yuanfeng was willing to release those people only if they had guarantors to prove that they were not Communists. People. Our biggest problem now is to find someone with status and status to be Zizheng's guarantor. It is best for this person to forge a false identity of kinship for Zizheng, and this person cannot be me or You. Because Liao Yuanfeng has started to pay attention to us since the Huagebeilu incident last time, now you and I must not testify to Zizheng." Meng Haoxiang said calmly, frowning slightly.

Ye Zijin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zizheng’s identity is not exposed, she believes that Zizheng returned to Shanghai with a false identity, Zhimei once told her that underground workers usually use many different identities to work Cover, but she doesn't know what the false identity Zizheng is using now...

"I went to find Zhimei today." Ye Zijin whispered.

Meng Haoxiang's face changed, and there was vague anger between his brows, "What are you going to do with her? Do you know how dangerous it is? You don't think things are troublesome enough?"

"I know it's dangerous, but I'm just afraid that Zizheng's identity will be exposed and I'll be arrested. I want Zhimei to notify their organization to see if there is any way to save Zizheng..." Ye Zijin realized that it was very uncomfortable for her to go to Zhimei rashly. Sure, it's just that she was too anxious at the time, so she didn't calmly think about the consequences of doing so.

"If Zizheng's identity is exposed and arrested, neither you nor I will try to rescue him. Don't act impulsively in the future, or you will involve many people." Meng Haoxiang said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Ye Zijin was reprimanded angrily by Meng Haoxiang, feeling a little displeased.But now that it's a big deal to get her son out, she's also looking for someone to be her guarantor.

"What do you think about asking Mr. Qiao for help? He is highly respected and well-connected in the business and political circles. Liao Yuanfeng dare not not sell his face." Ye Zijin thought about it and thought that Qiao Zhiqing was the most suitable.

Meng Haoxiang was silent for a moment, and said: "I'll take care of this matter, don't go to anyone to ask or meet anyone, and I don't want to go to Shen Ji's side recently, I will tell Xiao Wu's side that I will take you to Peiping .”

"Well, I see." Ye Zijin lowered her eyes to avoid Meng Haoxiang's gaze, secretly worrying about him.

A pair of rough hands held her white and slender hands, and the warm breath bloomed in the palms.

"Zijin, don't worry, I will bring Zizheng back safely." Meng Haoxiang comforted him.

"You have to be careful, I don't know what identity Zizheng is using now, if the two sides don't match up, wouldn't it be revealed? Or Zhimei..." Ye Zijin expressed her worries.

"Absolutely not!" Meng Haoxiang stopped what Ye Zijin wanted to say, "I'll take care of the other things, you don't want to interfere, if you still go to Ms. Zhao for help, you're going to increase her danger. Listen to me, now Don't have any contact with her, I will handle it for you." Meng Haoxiang's expression became more and more determined, and his tone of voice was decisive.

Ye Zijin nodded, she didn't want anyone to have any accident because of her and Zizheng.Meng Haoxiang picked up the suit and top hat on the hanger and was about to go out when there was a quarrel outside.

The door was kicked open, and Qian Jiang walked in, dragging Qu Xiangtian by the collar.

"Brother, I arrested our traitor from Jin'antang to see you." Qian Jiang violently pushed Qu Xiangtian in front of Meng Haoxiang, glaring at Qu Xiangtian angrily.

"What's going on?" Meng Haoxiang frowned slightly.
