Lost and Spy

Chapter 525
The footsteps of the new year are getting closer and closer.

Although this land is suffering from war, the Spring Festival, a traditional festival, is the most important festival for every Chinese.

No matter how difficult it is, we must pass the year.

Leave the troublesome things until the next year.

Although Shanghai suffered three months of war, it did not suffer too much damage in the public concession, and the New Year's flavor is still very strong in this city.

Those foreigners who have lived in China for many years are also willing to participate in this annual Chinese feast.

"Well, don't worry, I'm fine here. It's okay. Some colleagues in the unit celebrate the New Year with me. I won't be able to make it through for a while, and I will ask the boss to find a solution as soon as possible. The phone bill is quite expensive, help me kiss the children .See you."

Wu Jingyi hung up the phone.

The call between Shanghai and Hong Kong was opened in February 1937, a full year later than the call between Shanghai and Tokyo.Moreover, the telephone fee is extremely expensive. If it is not a particularly urgent matter, everyone would rather choose to contact by telegram.

Her husband lives in Hong Kong with their children, and up to now, she still doesn't know Wu Jingyi's true identity.

Wu Jingyi's husband also didn't know that his wife, who was usually weak and dedicated to taking care of the family, was actually a heroine who terrified the Japanese, and a great figure who commanded countless secret agents.

Under the mediation of the Public Concession Bureau of Industry and Commerce, the Chinese and Japanese secret service agencies temporarily stopped the bloody assassination and anti-assassination that lasted for three months.

The Shanghai International Settlement has temporarily entered a period of peace.

It's just that no one can say how long this peace period can be maintained.

Perhaps an hour later, an accidental misfire would quickly involve Shanghai in the war again.

"Report."

"Come in."

Ye Rong walked in: "Jing'an Temple's 'Laodongpu Pharmacy' has added three Japanese spies... At Yuyuan Road, a group of our spies had a head-on confrontation with Japanese spies while following them, and one person was slightly injured. The patrol room took everyone away and asked to release them within an hour... In addition, our surveillance agents were ordered to change guards near the Japanese consulate..."

Seemingly fragmented and trivial matters constituted the whole of the struggle between the enemy and us in the Shanghai International Settlement.

"Let our people try to exercise restraint." Wu Jingyi said after listening to the report: "Also, get in touch with Secretary Zhou Changcheng. Although the situation is relatively stable now, it has become more complicated..."

Perhaps influenced by Meng Shaoyuan, Wu Jingyi also attaches great importance to cultivating newcomers.Shen Li and Ye Rong, the spies who were just transferred from Chongqing, were Wu Jingyi's key training targets.

If she has free time, Wu Jingyi will find authentic old Shanghainese, teach them pure Shanghai dialect, and tell them some special living habits and customs in Shanghai.

They will live here for a long time in the future, and in this case, they must quickly integrate into the city.

Others are easy to handle, but more than half of these new agents are Chongqing locals. It is really too difficult to let those who were born and bred in Chongqing learn Shanghai dialect.

But Wu Jingyi was almost harsh on this matter.

"I don't want you to stay in Shanghai. I want you to integrate with Shanghai. When you perform tasks, let the other party think that you grew up in Shanghai. Shen Li, your hometown accent is very Heavy, as soon as others hear it, they will know that you are from Chongqing. Where is Chongqing? Our rear area, your opponents will naturally be wary of you when they hear your accent, which will make your mission become more difficult. It's extremely difficult."

This is what Wu Jingyi told these new agents.

These people have learned very hard, especially Shen Li, who is almost to the point of being harsh on himself.He memorized some difficult Shanghai dialects in his notebook, whether it was day or night, he would take out his notebook to practice whenever he had time.

When encountering those local spies in Shanghai, he would always pester them to learn how to speak.

Ye Rong is the most talented among these people.It didn't take her much effort to learn the Shanghai dialect in a decent way, and she also mastered the fashion, accent, and lifestyle of fashionable Shanghai women.

Talent is such a thing, I can't envy it.

Some people work hard, but still can't meet their expectations, but some people have far surpassed their companions after playing and playing, without seeing how hard she worked.

"My guerrilla Swallow detachment has received news that Meng Shaoyuan has left Nanjing. Counting the time, if all goes well, he has already entered Shanghai."

This is the contact name Meng Shaoyuan thought of.

The Swallow Detachment is a guerrilla detachment commanded by Zhu Yanni.

Ye Rong immediately said: "The most difficult thing is how to pass through the Japanese-controlled area and enter the public concession. Commander, do you want to send personnel to respond?"

"No need, no one is more familiar with Shanghai than the commander-in-chief." Wu Jingyi is not too worried about this: "What's more, we still have a large number of agents active in the Japanese-controlled area. Director Meng will find a way by himself."

Ye Rong discovered that these old agents in the Shanghai International Settlement had a kind of sincere, almost blind trust in Director Meng.

From their point of view, there seemed to be nothing that Director Meng could not do.

It's just that Wu Jingyi seems a little colder, right?At any rate, Director Meng is their supreme commander. Now that the commander is going from the Japanese-controlled area to the International Settlement, there is still great danger. She is really not worried at all?
"Okay, let's go to work."

Wu Jingyi said expressionlessly.

As soon as Ye Rong left, Wu Jingyi signed her own name on a file, and immediately picked up the phone: "Mr. Solratus, I am Wu Jingyi, please send me a few patrols, and arrange them in the south of the public concession. There's the entrance. Okay, thanks."

Hang up the phone, take out a pistol from the drawer, and put it in the bag.

……

The black car was waiting there calmly.

Two hours have passed.

Wu Jingyi just sat in the car calmly.

According to the agreement between himself and Meng Shaoyuan, if he could not return to Shanghai by the normal route, he would enter the International Settlement from here.

Wu Jingyi will be responsible for the reception in person.

In the entire military-controlled Shanghai latent area, anyone can have an accident, only Meng Shaoyuan can't.No one knows this better than Wu Jingyi.

It's just that she can't show the slightest in front of her subordinates.

She wants everyone to know that one person's life is far less important than the good of the whole.

A few patrolmen walked back and forth not far away, just in case.

Three more ten minutes.

If it doesn't appear after this point, then it will be tomorrow.

A fixed place, a fixed time.

There will be no exceptions.

Time passed by that minute and second.

Why haven't you come yet?
Will something happen?

At this time, Wu Jingyi looked calm and composed on the surface, but in fact she was more nervous than anyone else.

The patrolmen clicked their watches here, which meant that it was time to get off work.

Wu Jingyi rolled down the car window and nodded.

The patrols left.

They will not take the initiative to work overtime.

It seems that today will not come.

Just when Wu Jingyi was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from the car window:
"To the Rue Albert?"
