When Zhu Nanjiang investigated Feng Tingzan, he accidentally learned that the family that left him to recuperate was Wen Changling's father's relatives.He didn't know whether Wen Changling was involved in underground work. He was worried that people from Fuxingshe would follow him to find him, so he sent people to guard Baoxing Road day and night to make sure he was safe.

Wen Changling found a suspicious person at the door of his house. First, he went to hide at a friend's house very vigilantly for two days, and then realized that the person was sent by Zhu Nanjiang.

Recently, because of the murder of Feng Tingzan, he was depressed, and he didn't have the time to think about why Zhu Nanjiang suddenly followed him again.But every day there are people reading newspapers under the street lamps in front of their homes, or reading newspapers in cars at crossroads, or reading newspapers in teahouses across the road. The third master came to find me himself!"

A few hours later, Zhu Nanjiang sneakily appeared at the gate of Wen's house.

"You sent someone to watch me?"

"Brother, don't pay attention to them."

"Why do I ignore it? I can see them as long as I go out."

"Next time I'll tell them to stay away."

Wen Changling didn't know what he was talking about: "Nanjiang, what do you mean? Is it the patrol room who told you to watch me?"

"It has nothing to do with the patrol room." Zhu Nanjiang said, "Brother, I am doing it for your own good, I am afraid that someone will harm you."

"Who wants to kill me?"

"You don't have to worry about it, I will protect you anyway."

When Wen Changling saw that he was hesitating and refused to finish his sentence, he immediately became suspicious.

Feng Tingzan was originally an employee in the editorial office, and was later invited by the president of Shiwen newspaper to be an editor, secretly leading the workers in the factory to carry out revolutionary activities.Because he has quite a lot of connections in the concession, and he has dealt with gang members in private—according to what I said, there are also true righteous people in the gang, so everyone is not particularly worried about his personal safety.

Unexpectedly, such an accident happened in just one month.Feng Tingzan narrowly escaped death, and Wen Changling vacated an old house with his relatives for him to take refuge. He planned to send him out of Shanghai after his injuries stabilized, but he was unable to save his life in the end.

Who did it?The Fuxingshe, or the Concession authorities could not bear the pressure of the Chinese side?Both are possible.

After Feng Tingzan's accident, someone persuaded Wen Changling to avoid the limelight for now, so as not to be implicated.He felt that things were not going to reach this point, and he couldn't let go of the affairs of the factory, so he decided to "look at the situation" first, and take one step at a time.

At this moment, Zhu Nanjiang appeared, saying that "someone wanted to harm him" and that he would "protect" him.

How much does he really know?Could it be that there was some wind in the patrol room that made him so flustered.

Wen Changling believed that Zhu Nanjiang would not hurt him, but he didn't think that Zhu Nanjiang would listen to him and take the risk of dereliction of duty to protect others.And now the facts are in front of us, the police station is inseparable from Feng Tingzan's death, he may even be the one who did the knife.

The dialogue that day ended without any substantive progress.Zhu Nanjiang did not remove the eyeliner around Wen's house, and Wen Changling kept silent about Feng Tingzan's murder.

A few days later, when meeting with his fellow workers, he put forward his own guess—Feng Tingzan was killed by someone secretly sent by the patrol house, and the Fuxing Society was probably secretly putting pressure on the Workers’ Board of Directors.

Someone asked him why he thought so, and he said it was because the people in the police station seemed to know everything about Feng Tingzan's murder.

At this time, Ruan Chengzhi, Feng Tingzan's classmate and friend, suddenly stood up and asked him emotionally how he got the news of the police station.

"Zhu Nanjiang told you? Are you still meeting with him? If so, why didn't you see that they would attack Shang Qing earlier!?"

"I have almost no contact with Zhu Nanjiang, and Shang Qing's matter is my own speculation." Wen Changling explained helplessly, "If I can see the signs in advance, how can I tell him to sit and wait for death?"

Ruan Chengzhi was arrested by Zhu Nanjiang five years ago and taken into the patrol room, and then handed over to the military police of the Hua District. He was released after suffering a lot in prison.When he first learned that Wen Changling knew Zhu Nanjiang, he proposed to use this relationship to cooperate with the people from the Jagged Murder Squad to assassinate him.However, all the workers opposed the political views of the gang, and no one agreed with him. Therefore, Ruan Chengzhi was dissatisfied with Wen Changling.

"I wish Nanjiang...Brother Shangqing must not die in vain, I will make the murderer pay with blood!"

"It's not necessarily his doing."

"Even if he didn't kill Shang Qing, how many of our comrades and friends have been forced to die by him these years? Mr. Wen, why are you still speaking for this kind of person!"

"Okay, Chengzhi, that's not what Mr. Wen meant..." Someone tried to persuade him.

Ruan Chengzhi was filled with grief and indignation, and the more he talked, the more excited he became: "I know you have had friendship! But is this friendship more important than Shang Qing's life? We have come so far, and every step has been bought with blood. You Talking about old feelings to the enemy now, are you worthy of the dead comrades?!"

"Don't forget that he was the one who pleaded for Xu Jingshan back then, and Jiang Wangwang...he helped us a lot."

"Xu Jingshan was framed in the first place, he shouldn't be in prison at all! Why, should we thank the executioner for letting him go?!"

Wen Changling looked at the other party's distorted face due to anger, feeling dazed and exhausted in his heart, as if he knew that he would enter such a deadlock.

Ruan Chengzhi's words were originally used by him to question Zhu Nanjiang, but now they were thrown back intact.And the words he said just now were also Zhu Nanjiang's lines—he used the same words to excuse the other party without knowing it.

Ruan Chengzhi should be the same as himself at that time, Wen Changling thought, everyone has experienced the grief and indignation of his companions when they were persecuted.

But somehow, suddenly he couldn't say a word of comfort or justification, couldn't say it, and didn't want to say it.he is tired.

Regarding the "friendship" between himself and Zhu Nanjiang, he has already explained countless times frankly, only omitting a small part of it.Some expressed their understanding, some questioned it, some thought it would be better to maintain this relationship for later use, and some thought that Zhu Nanjiang was a cancer that should be completely eradicated by using "friendship" now.

"Eradication" is naturally impossible.The revolution has never been able to rely on assassination, so what is the difference with the Fuxingshe?More importantly, he really didn't want him to have an accident.

What would happen if Zhu Nanjiang died?

The earth will still spin, the aggression will continue, and the revolution will not stop.But Nan Jiang died and would never come back.

Wen Changling has never been able to understand Zhu Nanjiang's "love", nor does he know how to respond to him.But day after day, the other party has gradually become a piece of meat in his heart. The flesh cannot be dug out, and if the flesh is dug out, he will not be complete.

Wen Changling walked out of the conference room without saying a word, followed by Ruan Chengzhi's shouts and the comfort of everyone.

He suddenly felt extremely tired and weak, to this voice, to himself, to everything that happened around him.
