My years of espionage

Chapter 1802 This is a bandit!

"These are simply bandits." Haozi looked at the list given by Brother Fan and couldn't help but curse angrily.

"They are not bandits." Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.

"Don't give me a chance." He said bitterly, "Sooner or later, I will wipe out this gang of red bandits."

"Brother Fan, are you really going to give it to them?" Haozi looked at Brother Fan and asked.

"Give it to me!" Cheng Qianfan gritted his teeth and said, "You know, many Red Party members died in my hands. They actually hated me to the core."

Haozi nodded.

"Fortunately, they are all poor and willing to let me redeem myself. Otherwise, these traitors would definitely kill me." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "Anyway, it's good to be able to get away."

"Brother Fan is right. It is most important to get out first." Haozi said.

"I've told them to let you go." Cheng Qianfan said, "Go back to Shanghai secretly to meet your sister-in-law, and bring Haozi with you. The two of you will be responsible for transporting the things out for them."

He said with a serious expression, "This matter is limited to your sister-in-law and Haozi. If the news leaks out, it may cost my life."

"Brother Fan, don't worry, I know what to do." Haozi nodded.

……

"The Red Bandit Gu Baoguo will talk to you later to agree on how to deliver the supplies." Cheng Qianfan said, "There is one thing you must remember, bring more people with you."

"Brother Fan, do you mean to take the opportunity to kill them?" asked Haozi.

"I would like to chop them into pieces." Cheng Qianfan said bitterly, "But that will be in the future. The most important thing this time is to rescue me. I must hand over the goods and the people. Remember that."

"I see." Haozi said, "Brother Fan, are you worried that they might go back on their word?"

"I don't trust the Red Bandits!" Cheng Qianfan nodded, "They hate me to the core, so we have to be on guard."

"I understand." Haozi nodded, "Brother Fan, I'm going to leave now. You must take care of yourself."

"Go ahead." Cheng Qianfan sighed, but his eyes were fierce, "This great hatred will be avenged sooner or later!"

"Don't go back to Lafeide Road directly. Ask your sister-in-law and Haozi to come out. Be careful not to be seen by others." Cheng Qianfan warned again.

"clear."

……

One night later.

Haozi returned to the French Concession exhausted.

He found a secluded tobacco and grocery store and called the Cheng family.

Lafayette Road.

The phone in the living room rang.

Xiaobao, who was playing with Xiaozhima in the living room, came over and picked up the phone while holding Xiaozhima in one hand.

"This is the Cheng Mansion, who are you looking for?" Xiaobao asked.

"Is Mrs. Cheng at home?" Haozi asked in a deliberately hoarse voice.

"Brother Hao?" Xiaobao asked immediately.

Haozi was shocked. He didn't expect that he had changed his voice on purpose. Besides, the phone was prone to losing sound, but Xiaobao still heard it.

"Xiaobao, listen to me first, don't talk, and don't let anyone know it's me who called, okay?" Haozi said quickly.

"Yeah." Xiaobao immediately hummed.

"There is no one else around you, right?" asked Haozi.

"Yeah." Xiaobao said.

"Okay, is sister-in-law at home?" Haozi asked again.

"Ah."

"Tell your sister-in-law to answer the phone now and don't tell anyone else." Haozi said.

"Ah."

……

Xiao Bao put down the phone, hugged Xiao Zhima, and went upstairs, whispering, "Sister Ruolan, it was Brother Hao who called, and he didn't let me tell anyone else."

Bai Ruolan's expression changed, "Okay, I understand."

Bai Ruolan went downstairs and picked up the phone, "Is this Boss Guo?"

"Sister-in-law, it's me." Haozi said, "Brother Fan is in trouble, sister-in-law, don't panic, he is fine, Brother Fan sent me back, you must keep it a secret."

"Well, Qianfan is not at home now. Boss Guo, you can tell me if you have anything to say." Bai Ruolan forced herself to remain calm and spoke in a flat tone.

"Sister-in-law, I'm at Xiangji Daily Store on Tailasto Road now. You and Haozi come to meet me. It's just the two of you. Please keep it confidential." Haozi said.

"Okay, I understand. I will tell Qianfan." Bai Ruolan nodded and hung up the phone.

Sitting on the sofa, Bai Ruolan thought for a while, then stood up and picked up the phone to call Haozi's home.

"Xiao Ru? It's me, your sister-in-law. Is Haozi at home? Well, ask Haozi to drive over to pick me up. I have to go out for something. Yes, he can come by himself. You're pregnant, so please take care of yourself." Bai Ruolan said.

As she spoke, she lowered her voice, "Just Haozi himself, his brother Fan is in trouble, please keep it secret."

"Yes, a boss named Guo called with an urgent matter. As you know, your brother Fan is not at home, so I tried to ask Haozi to come and solve it." Bai Ruolan said in a raised voice.

……

Half an hour later, Li Hao drove his car and stopped in front of Cheng's house.

Bai Ruolan got into the car carrying her small purse.

"Sister-in-law." Li Hao said.

"Drive and talk on the way." Bai Ruolan said.

"Yes!"

After the car drove out of Lafede Road, Bai Ruolan said, "Haozi called and said that your brother Fan was in trouble. It was Qianfan who asked him to come back to find us, and only asked us two to go over to meet him."

"What happened to Brother Fan?" Haozi asked in shock.

"No, but Haozi said that he is fine." Bai Ruolan said, "Haozi is waiting for us at Xiangji Daily Store on Terrasto Road."

"I understand." Haozi nodded.

……

In front of Xiangji Tobacco and Grocery Store.

The car slowly stopped, Haozi quickly got in, and Haozi immediately stepped on the accelerator and left.

"Sister-in-law, where are we going now?" Li Hao asked.

"Let's talk in the car." Bai Ruolan said, "It's safe in the car."

"Yes." Li Hao nodded, and couldn't help but admire his sister-in-law.

……

After listening to what Haozi said, Bai Ruolan took the list handed over by Haozi, looked at it with a flashlight, and remained silent.

"He didn't suffer any hardship, did he?" Bai Ruolan asked, wiping the corners of her eyes.

"Those Red Gang members were like kidnappers. They wanted things, but they didn't torture Brother Fan. It was just that he had to suffer." Haozi said, "I lost a lot of weight after meeting Brother Fan."

"I don't know or understand what's going on outside." Bai Ruolan said, "Leave this matter to you and Haozi. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know. I only have one request."

"Sister-in-law, please say." Haozi said quickly.

"I want your brother Fan to come back safe and sound." She looked at Haozi and asked, "That's all."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Haozi and I will definitely rescue Brother Fan smoothly and safely." Haozi nodded heavily.

"Okay." Bai Ruolan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded and said, "Your brother Fan trusts you the most, and I trust you too."

……

Haozi drove his sister-in-law home.

Haozi lay in the back seat and pulled the curtains to avoid being seen by outsiders.

The two drove back to Haozi's residence.

"I'll be guarding the door, you guys talk." Zhou Ru said immediately when she saw the two men coming back.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers and sisters."

The two of them went into the inner room.

"The Reds are so greedy that they ask for such a huge sum of money." Li Hao looked at the list and cursed, "They are just bandits!"

He and Haozi were illiterate, but were forced to learn to read by Brother Fan. Now their handwriting is crooked and ugly, but they can recognize words.

"It's meaningless to talk about this now." Haozi said, "Brother Fan said that we will settle accounts with the Red Party sooner or later. The most important thing now is to collect supplies and rescue Brother Fan safely."

"Although the issue of supplies is tricky, we can always find a way to get them together." Haozi thought for a while and said, "Other things are fine, but the most annoying thing is that they dared to ask for so many weapons and ammunition, which almost emptied our secret savings."

"Save people first. As long as Brother Fan comes back safely, everything will be fine." Haozi said.

Li Hao also nodded.

The two men then discussed that it would not be easy to transport so many supplies, especially weapons, ammunition, radios, medicines and other absolutely prohibited items, out of Shanghai safely.

Fortunately, Jiujiu Trading has already mastered all the checkpoints, so as long as we are careful, we will be safe at best.

"Fortunately, we have Jiujiu Trading's transportation line, otherwise it would be troublesome." Li Hao said with a sigh.

"Brother Fan has fallen into the hands of the Red Party. The Japanese must know about it. It's hard to tell what they will do now." He thought for a moment and said, "So, we must be quick and rescue Brother Fan before everyone else. As long as Brother Fan comes back, everything else won't be a problem."

"Yes, so as to avoid any more trouble." Haozi nodded, "It's not easy for me to show up, so you should collect supplies overnight and try to ship the things out as soon as possible."

"it is good."

"Brother Fan said to bring more people with you. Be careful that the Red Party may not keep their promise." Haozi reminded again.

"Of course." Li Hao showed hatred and said, "They have committed kidnapping and extortion. No wonder Brother Fan has always said that they are a gang of red bandits."

……

Two days later.

at night.

Mylan Pier.

A steamer docked at the pier. Haozi stood on the boat and personally watched his men moving the cargo.

Finally, the cargo was stacked and the steamer set off with the sound of its whistle.

Away from the dock, Haozi knocked on the cabin, and Haozi came out of the cabin.

"Brother Hao, there are patrol motorboats of Japanese soldiers." A brother came in to report.

"Hang the flags." Li Hao said, "Light the language."

Soon, the Japanese patrol motorboat approached with searchlights flashing. Sandbags were piled on the deck, and Type 99 light machine guns were mounted on the sandbags.

After seeing the flags and lights hanging on the opposite steamer, the Japanese army did not relax their guard and shouted loudly.

"I'm Li Hao from Jiujiu Trading." Li Hao stood under the Qisifeng lantern on the deck so that the other party could see him, and began to shout, "Excuse me, is Mr. Ueno Shoichi here?"

"Mr. Ueno is not here." A Japanese lieutenant came out from the patrol motorboat and said, "I am Sano Han."

"It's Mr. Sano." Li Hao said, "Last time I asked Mr. Ueno to bring you sake, how does it taste?"

"It tastes great, like my hometown." Sano Han laughed, "Mr. Li, please be safe when sailing at night."

"Thank you very much. When I return to Shanghai, I will definitely host you. Please do me the honor, Miss Sano."

"Haha, no problem." Sano Han said, and ordered his men to hand over a package with a long bamboo pole, and then the Japanese motorboat sailed away.

Li Hao unpacked the package and found a flag inside with an incomprehensible pattern on it.

"This is the patrol clearance flag for tonight." Haozi said to Haozi, "Hang it up, and when you encounter Japanese patrols next time, shine the searchlight on them and let them pass when they see this flag."

Haozi nodded. He usually did not participate in the affairs of Jiujiu Commerce and did not know much about them. "So, this flag is very useful. We cannot make it like this. In the future..."

"No." Li Hao shook his head and said, "We have studied it and found that it is impossible to fake it."

He said to Haozi, "See the pattern on the upper left corner of this flag? This pattern is the mark. The Japanese patrol marks are different every night."

"We have secretly observed that there are three types of this large pattern, and there are small marks underneath. The most important are these small marks and numbers. These should be the key to the Japanese army's identification. Only the Japanese army knows what flags are used every day." Li Hao said.

He shook his head. "The Japanese obviously prevented people from forging flags during patrols. If someone forged it, the Japanese patrol boats would know the authenticity with a searchlight and open fire with their Type 99 light machine guns."

Li Hao handed a cigarette to Haozi and said, "Before, there were people from our side, the Red Party, and some people who made a living on the water. They wanted to use fake flags to get through, but they were all seen through by the Japanese. On this river, they can't run away."

"I understand." Haozi nodded, "Is everything arranged ahead?"

"We'll go around the river for a long distance, and then quietly dock at Xiaoqing Bay." Li Hao said, "That's our secret wharf for transporting goods. We've arranged for the brothers to prepare vehicles and wait."

……

at dusk.

In a desolate and secluded place.

The convoy stopped.

Haozi put out a guard.

Soon, an unpleasant crow-like cry was heard in the distance.

Then Gu Baoguo appeared with his guerrillas, driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Haozi took a look and saw that there were still soldiers wearing New Fourth Army uniforms. Some of the uniforms even had brown spots on them, which were dried blood stains.

His eyes narrowed.

"Did you fight with others?" Haozi asked immediately, "How is my brother Fan?"

"We are an anti-Japanese armed force, and it is normal to exchange fire with the Japs." Gu Baoguo said calmly.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and saw several guerrillas pushing Cheng Qianfan out from a distance. Cheng Qianfan's hands were tied behind his back with ropes and a rag was stuffed in his mouth.

One of the guerrillas put a dagger against Cheng Qianfan's waist.

"I want to hear what Brother Fan says and make sure that Brother Fan is okay." Haozi said vigilantly.

Gu Baoguo nodded and made a gesture.

"Brother Fan, are you okay?" Haozi asked quickly when he saw that the rag in Brother Fan's mouth had been taken away.

"I'm fine." Cheng Qianfan shouted, but his tone was a little weak.

"Mr. Zhong, can you hand over the donated materials to us now?" Gu Baoguo looked at Zhong Guohao and asked.

Haozi didn't answer. He looked at Brother Fan in the distance and said, "Let Brother Fan come over first."
