"Who did you listen to? Are you still following me?" Lu Ming asked in surprise.

"Don't care who said it, you went to the Songhu Garrison Headquarters to find Adjutant Huang twice, and you even went to their commander directly. Just tell me if there is such a thing." Zhang Ziyang squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Ming.

"Stop talking to me about it. What happened to me when I went to the Songhu Security Command? Chairman Sheng sent me to talk about things. Why not? This is also top secret and I have no comment." Lu Ming responded with a tooth for a tooth.

"What did you go to talk about? How can there be an impenetrable wall in this world?" Zhang Ziyang asked in a drawn out voice.

"Then tell me, what else have you heard?" Lu Ming felt a little uneasy.

"I also heard about it." Speaking of this, Zhang Ziyang whispered to Lu Ming: "I also heard that you and them have jointly captured more than 100 Japanese spies. How can you surpass me for such a good thing? Are we still good? brother?"

"What? There's no reason for that!" Lu Ming was a little shocked, tongue-tied.

This matter is top secret, even in the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters. Except for the personnel who participated in the operation at that time, only the commander of the Garrison Headquarters and some senior staff knew about it. It seems that someone leaked the news.

However, it may not be the work of the Shanghai Garrison Command, it may have been leaked by the Nanjing side.

Such a major event happened in Shanghai, and the Songhu Garrison Command did not dare to conceal it, so it reported the matter to the government of the Republic of China in detail.

Of course, even the garrison commander himself did not know about Japan's plan to seize the Northeast, so the Nanjing side only knew that the Songhu garrison command had taken a small-scale military operation to protect the chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, Sheng Youde.

In this operation, a battalion of troops was dispatched to kill more than 100 Japanese spies who secretly infiltrated and surrounded the Lingering Garden. Unfortunately, none of them were caught alive.

"They have made great contributions. I heard that many people have received awards. Why didn't you come to me?" Zhang Ziyang was so angry that his teeth itched, and he wanted to kick Lu Ming a few times.

Lu Ming smiled wryly and said, "Is it up to me to say this kind of thing? I'm just a messenger, and I will do whatever I'm told. In addition, no matter how much you know about this matter, it's best to keep it in your stomach Anyone who says it, or be careful to be silenced."

"Of course I know, I won't talk nonsense." Zhang Ziyang was patient. Lu Ming didn't come to look for him, and he never went to look for Lu Ming. He knew that there must be hidden secrets hidden in it.

It is common sense that people who know more secrets are more dangerous. It is impossible for the detectives of the Shanghai Police Department to understand this truth.

How to deal with the Japanese, Lu Ming thought of Zhang Ziyang as the No. 1 choice at the time, but the police station is a wall with leaks on all sides, and it won't take long for someone to leak the secrets.

Lu Ming had no choice but to give up on Zhang Ziyang and did not seek help from the police station. Only afterwards did he realize how clever his move was.

Leaking the secrets is only one aspect. Lu Ming did not expect that there were more than 100 Japanese spies ambushing around the Lingering Garden. Their combat effectiveness was very strong. With just a few broken guns from the police station, they were no match for them at all.

As a military unit, the Songhu Garrison Command is well-trained, and its actions are very neat. Whether it is personal combat effectiveness or weapons and equipment, the police cannot compare.

However, Lu Ming didn't elaborate on the situation that day, not because he was afraid of hurting Zhang Ziyang's self-esteem, but because he shouldn't know too much about this matter, if he speaks out loud, he might be silenced.

This incident was a dumb loss for the Japanese side, but Sheng Youde and the government of the Republic of China also had to keep silent. This was the default rule of both sides. If they were spread out, it would be more troublesome and cause many disputes.

"Just as long as you understand what I mean, just pretend that this incident never happened." Lu Ming made a final summary.

After being warned by Lu Ming, Zhang Ziyang stopped talking.

The two continued to drink and eat, and after a while Zhang Ziyang suddenly whispered: "You have to ask Mingzhu to tell her elder brother to be careful."

"What's wrong? Did the Cao Gang commit any crimes again?" Lu Ming was taken aback, thinking that this Ning Zetao was really out of his mind, and he didn't know how to learn his lesson after making such a big mess.

"It's not smuggling this time, it's a bit complicated." Zhang Ziyang said with a wry smile.

"How complicated?" Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, a little ominous.

"Is such that."

Zhang Ziyang said next to Lu Ming's ear again: "I heard in the bureau that someone seems to be investigating the Cao Gang, saying that they are harboring a suspected underground member of the Communist Party. It seems to be a person surnamed Dong?"

"Ah, Mr. Dong?" Lu Ming blurted out.

"You know this person?" Zhang Ziyang felt strange.

"I know him, and we have had dinner together. You mean that Mr. Dong is an underground party?" Lu Ming pretended to be confused.

"It seems that we can't be sure yet, but you also know that once you are on the list of suspects, it's almost as real. The police are searching for this person. Someone reported that he has been in and out of the Cao Gang many times." Zhang Ziyang said.

"What's wrong with going in and out? I also drank and ate with him. Even if he is a member of the -Communist-Party-underground organization, he doesn't have a label on his forehead. Who knows, did he meet him? Are all the people suspected of collaborating?" Lu Ming said dissatisfied.

"That is to say, if it is you, of course there is no problem, but the bureau has been looking for opportunities to teach the Cao Gang a lesson. Now that we have this handle, we have an excuse to attack." Zhang Ziyang said seriously.

"Don't worry, as long as there is no solid evidence, the Cao Gang is not at the mercy of others, and your bureau is likely to be kicked to the iron wall." Lu Ming laughed.

When Lu Ming said this, the red light was already on in his heart. It seemed that he was trying to get the boss of the Cao Gang to send a message to Mr. Dong, telling him to leave Shanghai as soon as possible.

Of course, he might have left Shanghai long ago, so it would be even better.In any case, Mr. Dong is a respectable person in Lu Ming's mind, and he must not be allowed to suffer.

As for the fact that the police station collected information about the Cao Gang, Lu Ming didn't really care too much about it. The last time he was at the customs, it was stolen by someone else's family. That's why the Cao Gang was in danger of being wiped out. If you want to take care of the Cao Gang, then the Cao Gang has long since ceased to exist.

But he still had to go back and tell Mingzhu, let her tell her elder brother not to walk around there recently, let alone doing business.

When the two came out after eating, Zhang Ziyang drove away, but Lu Ming was stunned as soon as he got into his car.

"Mr. Dong, why are you here?" Lu Ming was really surprised.

The underground party suspect that he and Zhang Ziyang had been talking about just now is sitting in his car waiting, there are such coincidences in the world.

"Why can't I be here?" Mr. Dong said with a slight smile.

"You are in a very dangerous situation now, the police station is hunting you everywhere." Lu Ming looked out the car window and said hastily.

"I know that it's not just a matter of a day or two for them to arrest me. It's not just the police station that is searching for me. People from the Songhu Security Command and the Shanghai Special Operations Brigade have also been searching for me." Mr. Dong Calm down.

"Then why don't you leave Shanghai quickly? If you can't get out, I can find a way to send you out." Lu Ming didn't understand why he was able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't leave Shanghai. Shanghai is where I fight. If I leave Shanghai, I will lose my position." Mr. Dong laughed.

"I don't understand what you guys are fighting, but no matter what, you have to save your own life first." Lu Ming thought to himself, this is really because the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

"Lu Ming, you don't understand the nature of our work. If you don't have the belief and mental preparation that you can die for the revolution at any time, you can't do it. The shadow of death hangs over my head every day. I may die every day. But I'm not afraid." Mr. Dong nodded slightly, as if nodding to the god of death.

"You are all desperadoes, is that necessary?" Lu Ming smiled wryly.

"No, you are wrong. We are not desperadoes. Desperadoes are just more brave than brave ones. We don't take our own lives seriously. We are different from them. We know why we are fighting and why we sacrifice our lives. , we are for our own beliefs and beliefs." Mr. Dong raised his head and smiled.

Lu Ming was dumbfounded. To be honest, he really didn't know this Mr. Dong, nor did he understand the dangerous working environment, but he was no stranger to the Communist Party. There were two Soviet Communist Party members in Wanguo Apartment. -Dang, one named Andre and one named Peter, and both had a good relationship with him.
