Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

When Chu Xiangxue returned to the gendarmerie's repair room, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Zui and two of his subordinates were not asleep.He was surprised to see Chu Xiangxue come back, but soon realized that there must be urgent information. "Li Zizhong summoned twenty-four subordinates to meet secretly in the 'Heaven on Earth' teahouse." Chu Xiangxue reported. "Group leader, immediately send people to surround the teahouse!" Li Ruyou was the first to react. Jiang Ji grocery store had just closed when someone knocked on the door outside.

"I'll come back tomorrow to buy something." Luo Su responded in the store. "It's going to be used tonight, the boss opens the door." Shouted outside. Luo Su recognized Zhong Hua's voice and hurriedly opened the small door.Zhong Hualai was riding a rickshaw. When he saw Luo Su coming out, he whispered, "Close the door, we'll talk in the car." Zhong Hualai carried Luo Su away from Hehe Street and arrived at a gentle place. Luo Su asked, "Where will you take me?" "At 8:30 tonight, Li Zizhong and more than 20 of his uprising subordinates gathered for the first time. He wants you to come over. Comrade Nightingale considers safety issues and wants me to come back and ask you for instructions." Zhong Hua said.

"Where is it? Of course I want to attend such an important gathering." Luo Su took out his moonlight pocket watch, "There are still ten minutes." "Comrade Luo Su, you are the core of the underground party in Jiangnan City, your safety is very important." Zhong Hualai reminded. "Safety is very important to all our comrades, but compared with our mission, personal safety is nothing. Since Mr. Li wants me to go, this must be the wish of every insurgent. I am here to represent the Communist Party. It is very useful to strengthen their confidence. Let's go, Master Li will be prepared for the safety issue." Luo Su urged.

Zhong Hualai stopped talking and concentrated on stepping on his car.Ten minutes later, the rickshaw arrived at the gate of the "Heaven and Earth" teahouse. Zhong Hua stopped the car and whispered, "Here we are." "Which private room? How to connect?" Luo Su asked while paying the fare. "I don't know, just walk straight in. They should have already made arrangements." Zhong Hua came to find some change, turned and left. Luo Su anxiously walked to the door of the teahouse, only to notice that Liang Tianshu had been hiding in an inconspicuous place. He quickly spotted Luo Su. Although the two pretended not to know each other, they made eye contact.Luo Su started to go upstairs, and when he passed Liang Tianshu, Liang Tianshu said the words "Juxian Pavilion".

Through consulting Dr. Cha, Luo Su knew that "Juxian Pavilion" was on the third floor.He climbed up to the third floor and quickly found the "Juxian Pavilion". Two plainclothes guards stopped him: "May I ask who you are looking for, sir?" "I'm a friend of Master Li." Luo Su replied that the guard quickly let him go. As soon as Luo Su appeared in the hall, Li Zizhong rushed to meet him, and invited Luo Su to the chairman's position under the attention of everyone. "Everyone, this is our most honored guest tonight, Comrade Lark!" Li Zizhong introduced Luo Su to his subordinates, and then asked Luo Su to give a speech.Luo Su glanced at the hall, and found that the eyes of these soldiers in civilian clothes were full of eager desire.He cleared his throat and began to describe the current situation and the Communist Party's united front policy...

Just when Luo Su came to "Heaven and Earth", Lin Mulang who was hiding in a rickshaw near the teahouse whispered to Chu Xiangxue next to him, "Let's go." "Wait?" Chu Xiangxue asked. "Everyone who should come has arrived, there is no point in waiting any longer. Go back to the Independent Division?" Lin Mulang looked at Chu Xiangxue. "No, go back to the Gendarmerie." Chu Xiangxue said. "You are very dedicated, but I don't want to accompany you." Lin Mulang said with a smile. "I have no right to force you if you don't want to go, but you have to do something for me." Chu Xiangxue took out the notebook and fountain pen and handed them to Lin Mulang.

"You are very thoughtful, is this place okay?" Lin Mulang understood what Chu Xiangxue meant, he took the notebook and pen with a wry smile and said, "I don't have the ability to write in the dark yet." "You just said it yourself, and I was very thoughtful." Chu Xiangxue flicked on the flashlight to shine on the notebook, "Don't miss anyone, the names and positions can't be wrong." After Lin Mulang finished writing, he thought about it carefully, and returned the notebook to Chu Xiangxue until he thought there was no mistake.At this time, the driver not far away came over and reminded: "One hour is almost up, do you still need to extend the rent?"

"No need, you will send me back to the independent division right away, and the rent and bus fare will be counted together." Lin Mulang turned to Chu Xiangxue, "Are you coming back tonight?" "Not necessarily, but you'd better say hello to the guard room." After saying that, Chu Xiangxue walked towards another rickshaw. The two rickshaws left the "Heaven and Earth" teahouse at the same time, but in opposite directions... When Chu Xiangxue returned to the gendarmerie's repair room, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Zhang Zui and two of his subordinates were not asleep. They were surprised to see Chu Xiangxue come back, but soon realized that there must be urgent information.

"Li Zizhong summoned 24 of his subordinates for a secret meeting in the 'Heaven on Earth' teahouse." Chu Xiangxue reported. "Group leader, immediately send people to surround the teahouse!" Li Ruyou was the first to react. "Go now? Could it be the end of the show?" Ding Yizu said. "Are you sure they are meeting in secret?" Zhang Zui looked at Chu Xiangxue. "I can be sure that when I arrived at the independent division at noon today, a deputy division commander and a regiment leader happened to go to Li Zizhong's home. Not long after they left, Liang Tianshu came over. He and Li Zizhong stayed in the room After a while, I went straight to the office of the deputy division commander and the head of the regiment, and then went to the "Heaven and Earth" teahouse to make a reservation. In order to confirm our guess, after dinner, Lin Mulang and I went to the "Heaven and Earth" and waited there Within an hour, as expected, 24 officers from the Independent Division went to the teahouse in casual clothes."

"So they are indeed gathering in secret, and maybe the Communist Party is involved!" Zhang Zui analyzed. "Then we should go there quickly!" Li Ruyou urged. "Take a soldier over to have a look first, and we'll come later." Zhang Zui immediately called Chu Liyan after speaking, asking him to send troops to assist. In the large private room of "Juxian Pavilion" on the third floor, Li Zizhong and his 24 subordinates were listening attentively to Luo Su's description of the current situation. Outside the private room, Liang Tianshu was extremely nervous. In his eyes, almost every day tonight Every tea drinker who came to "heaven and earth" was suspicious.Apart from the inside of the teahouse, what worries him the most is the outside.Therefore, when Luo Su went upstairs, he was almost engrossed in watching everything outside the teahouse... Soon, a rickshaw caught his attention. There were two people sitting in this car, but the driver hid aside... This strange phenomenon made him suspicious - could these two people be here to monitor?The more he thought about it, the more he felt like it. Under normal circumstances, people who rent a car are eager to leave immediately after getting in the car. How can they stop still all the time?What's more suspicious is that the location of this car is very hidden, if you don't pay special attention, you can hardly see it clearly.

Suddenly a flashlight came on in the car.What are they doing with flashlights?Liang Tianshu couldn't figure it out... After the flashlight went out, the driver who was hiding in the dark returned to the parking position, and vaguely said a few words to the person in the seat.Then, a person got off the car and got into another rickshaw... If this phenomenon only made Liang Tianshu feel strange, then what happened next finally made him understand that this party was exposed.Just over 20 minutes after the two suspicious people left, another rickshaw came over, and two people got off from the car. Liang Tianshu suddenly found a subordinate who looked like Zhang Zui... The situation was extremely critical, Liang Tianshu almost sprinted up to the third floor to report to Li Zizhong.Seeing Liang Tianshu whispering nervously to Li Zizhong, Luo Su understood in his heart, and immediately stopped his speech. When Zhang Zui led a brigade of gendarmes to the "Heaven and Earth", the "Juxian Pavilion" was already empty. Li Ruyou said very dejectedly: "I don't know them, and you don't come here soon. A pawn and I You can only watch them go away one by one, one by one.” This time because of the slow action, Zhang Zui didn't blame his subordinates, and said: "It's okay, as long as it is proved that this is the case, they escaped and the monk can't escape the temple. Xiangxue, these people who came to the meeting tonight, Lin Mu Do wolves know each other?" "I know them all, I asked him to make a list." Chu Xiangxue took out the notebook from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Zui, "Team leader, you are all busy, I'm going back to the independent division." Zhang Zui took the notebook, feeling a burst of surprise in his heart, and said, "Don't go to the independent division tonight, we still have things to do when we go back." It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when Zhang Zui returned to the Gendarmerie. He didn't feel sleepy at all, so he led several of his men to the duty room. Zhang Zui handed over the list to Li Ruyou, Li Ruyou passed it to Chu Liyan after reading it, passed it around and finally returned it to Zhang Zui. "Everyone see it clearly? The people on this list are all gathering in 'Heaven and Earth' tonight. Think about it, everyone, what is special about these people." Zhang Zui scanned the crowd. The duty room fell silent in an instant, and no one knew what the characteristics of this list would be.It took a while before Chu Xiangxue broke the silence. "I remember that Su Zitong once provided us with a list, team leader, can you show us a pair?" "Xiangxue is right. Since these people intend to vote for the Communist Party, they must be people who have been bewitched by the Communist Party's public opinion for a long time. Li Ruyou, go to the next door and get the information." In less than a few minutes, Li Ruyou brought a list from the next door, and Zhang Zui compared the two lists, and he made an astonishing discovery—the people who attended the party tonight were all readers of "Spring Voice" ! The two lists were circulated among several people again. This time, apart from showing surprise, everyone let out a long breath.But this relaxation only lasted for a few seconds, as if a moment of joy after a big fish took the bait, followed by the tense and thrilling stage of reeling in the line... "Team leader, this matter is of great importance. I think we should report it to the superior immediately." Chu Xiangxue was the first to react. "Yes, you should report to your superiors!" Li Ruyou, Chu Liyan, and Ding Yizu all said in unison. Zhang Zui didn't hesitate this time, and drafted a telegram: "Li Zizhong and 24 of his subordinates met in secret, the signs are suspicious. July bee." Chu Xiangxue recorded it and went to the next door to send it.Everyone sat in the duty room without daring to move, waiting patiently for instructions from their superiors. After more than 20 minutes, Chu Xiangxue finally came back. She read the telegram in her hand, "I have received the call. The matter is of great importance and needs to be studied. Mr. Mao." In the early morning, after Li Zizhong got up, he sat in the living room in a daze. After a while, he couldn't help but grabbed the phone on the table and dialed the number.Fei Yuting came out of the bathroom and looked at her husband: "Who are you calling so early?" After the call was connected, Li Zizhong just said "Come here for a moment" and hung up. Only then did he have time to answer his wife: "Adjutant Liang, he will come here immediately, open the door for him." Liang Tianshu came over soon, and asked in a low voice, "Master, what do you want me to do?" "It's okay, let's go first. I don't know what's going on, so I'm worried about you." Li Zizhong also said in a low voice. "I'm fine—but fortunately we left the meeting early, and two trucks of gendarmes came after a while." Liang Tianshu said. "The spy's sense of smell is really good. Why didn't your 'Primaria' give us any information this time?" "It's a trivial matter, he knows we can handle it." Liang Tianshu said perfunctorily. At this time, Fei Yuting, who was standing at the window watching the wind, returned to the study and said, "Adjutant Liang, I'll tell you a family relationship. I don't know if you would like it." "Ma'am, where are you talking about? Who would want to marry me when I look like this!" Liang Tianshu said with a blushing face. "Adjutant Liang, don't be modest, someone really has a crush on you." "Who's taken a fancy to him?" Li Zizhong asked puzzled. "Self-respect, I forgot to tell you that the woman Chief of Staff Lin brought back at noon yesterday is his cousin, named Xiaomei. She met Adjutant Liang yesterday, and she was very satisfied. She still needs me as a matchmaker." "Madam, now is a critical moment. Don't trust any strangers. Who knows what she is from." Liang Tianshu said. "Adjutant Liang, what you said reminded me that we were discovered last night, could it be related to this woman?" Li Zizhong asked. "It's hard to tell. Teacher, you must be careful with this kind of person!" "No, I suddenly had an idea. Since she said she has a crush on you, you might as well play a show with her. Maybe you can really find out her background." Li Zizhong said, looking at Liang Tianshu. "I think it's necessary. I'll pull the thread. I saw her just now. I'll call her over." Fei Yuting said that she was about to put it into action. Liang Tianshu wanted to stop him, but it was too late, he was so anxious that he didn't know how to deal with a strange woman. Li Zizhong saw what Liang Tianshu was thinking, and cheered up: "Don't be nervous, you can just treat her as a female spy, and then you will have the upper hand psychologically." With Li Zizhong's touch, Liang Tianshu's mind really calmed down, but when Chu Xiangxue appeared in front of him, he was still taken aback. It took him a long time to recover, and he stretched out a hand stiffly: "Miss Xiaomei, nice to meet you." "Thank you. Sister Yuting has already introduced you to me about your basic situation. Has she told you about my situation?" In comparison, Chu Xiangxue seemed more generous. "I haven't had time to introduce it yet. Lieutenant Liang, it's like this. Xiaomei is 24 years old this year. She is a top student at Jinling University. A friend who has been dating for several years has just blown up." Fei Yuting turned to Chu Xiangxue, "Don't worry, Xiaomei. Tian Shu is definitely not that kind of person, he is very dedicated to feelings, isn't Adjutant Liang like that?" "Yes, I think you must have a sense of responsibility when dealing with love, or you don't love, once you fall in love, you have to devote yourself wholeheartedly." Liang Tianshu quickly entered the role after being nervous. "I said this before, where did Adjutant Liang hear it?" Chu Xiangxue looked at Liang Tianshu in feigned surprise. "Adjutant Liang said it himself. You really have a good understanding. Xiaomei, do you know what fate is? This is it!" Fei Yuting tried her best to match. Li Zizhong winked at Fei Yuting repeatedly, and seeing that she was talking endlessly, he said, "Let them talk on their own, Tianshu, Xiaomei, we still have something to do, don't mind if you talk about it, just treat it as if you were at home. " "Mr. Li, what a shame. Let's go to my cousin's house. What do you think, Lieutenant Liang?" Chu Xiangxue said. "It's better to listen to the teacher's arrangement, anyway, just chat." Liang Tianshu said. Fei Yuting didn't intervene anymore, and followed Li Zizhong out after three steps and one look back. There was only one man and one woman left in the room, and Chu Xiangxue seemed reserved instead. Seeing that Liang Tianshu was more shy than her, she boldly said, "I finally know what 'love at first sight' is when I know you." "I fell in love with you at first sight too." Liang Tianshu said. "Are you okay?" Chu Xiangxue seemed to be greeting or looking for something to say. "I'm fine, how about you?" Liang Tianshu responded like a bug. "You've seen whether I'm good or not. I think it's a bit redundant to ask. Are you always so timid in front of girls?" "Sometimes I'm timid, and sometimes I'm very courageous. Which kind do you like?" Liang Tianshu asked. "I like bold boys." Chu Xiangxue looked at Liang Tianshu provocatively. Liang Tianshu looked at Chu Xiangxue steadfastly, and suddenly he hugged her into his arms, and pressed his hot lips to those two small cherry mouths... Chu Xiangxue froze for a moment, and soon responded in a fake way...
