Chapter 219: Arrested (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
With the intrusion of this column of military trucks, the square in front of the Shanghai Railway Station instantly became tense and solemn.
The national soldiers were holding rifles, their bayonets gleaming coldly in the sun.
A national army squad leader pointed in the direction of Cheng Qianfan, and suddenly several soldiers walked toward him with guns in hand.
Cheng Qianfan’s expression was slightly panicked, but inside he was extremely calm.
At this meeting, in order to avoid being searched and interrogated by special agents, he did not carry a gun on his person.
At this moment, his mind quickly analyzed the current situation.
Have you been exposed?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head inwardly as he looked at the heavy machine guns mounted on military trucks and the armed policemen not far away.
He was sure that as long as he dared to resist, even if he could bring down these soldiers, it would be extremely difficult to break through successfully.
At this moment, Wu Huan and Xie Ruonan had already left the station, and they were looking for a connector.
However, he was shocked by the solemn scene in front of him.
The two of them looked at the man who was being surrounded by the military police. To be precise, their eyes rested on the book in his hand.
"Selected Writings of the People's Wisdom of the Past Dynasties"!
This is a joint token.
According to the agreement, their superior will greet them with this book.
Subsequently, the two parties matched the joint code and completed the entire joint procedure.
Although the connection code has not yet been completed, Wu Huan and Xie Ruonan can basically confirm that this person is their contact person and their future upline.
Therefore, when they saw the military and police approaching the contact person in a surrounded situation, the two of them were shocked and worried.
At the same time, Cheng Qianfan also caught a glimpse of the young couple not far away from the corner of his eye.
The man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, with a crew cut, and was carrying a mahogany-colored leather suitcase.
The woman is wearing a light blue student uniform with a round face. In her hand is a black cloth bag with an orchid embroidered with white thread.
These are the two young comrades from Nanjing who were assigned to the "Fire Team" by the organization.
He saw the young **** take a step forward.
Cheng Qianfan pretended to be frightened by the soldiers surrounding him, and shook his head imperceptibly:
do not come!
Let’s go quickly!
…
Xie Ruonan did not notice this detail.
Wu Huan saw this and grabbed his wife: Let’s go!
The ‘wife’ was grabbed by her husband’s hand and turned around.
Xie Ruonan's eyes were filled with not only fear, but also worry.
“Don’t look back, let’s go.” Wu Huan whispered.
His voice was trembling, not with fear, but with sadness.
Watching your comrades being arrested is heartbreaking.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing?” Cheng Qianfan was directly held up by two soldiers and shouted in panic.
"take away!"
The officer leading the team couldn't help but waved his hand and shouted.
Cheng Qianfan was frightened, his feet were weak, and he just begged and shouted, "Let me go, why are you catching me?"
“Be honest!” A soldier slammed down the **** of his rifle.
The frightened young man finally calmed down and was trembling and screaming as he was put on a military card.
The military card was covered with a tarpaulin. After Cheng Qianfan entered, he discovered that many people had been arrested inside.
He immediately noticed a detail. Like him, these people were all wearing blue cloth coats, fur-soled cloth shoes, and black-rimmed glasses.
…
Two situations:
First, he was exposed. To be precise, he was exposed during this joint operation. The enemy came to arrest him according to the plan.
However, this possibility is very low.
This connection is a direct call from the headquarters, so there will definitely be no problems at the headquarters.
The only place where problems may arise is in Nanjing.
Because Comrades Wu Huan and Xie Ruonan came from Nanjing, they were transferred to Shanghai after accepting the order issued by the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee.
In fact, the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee will not know the real reason for arranging these two comrades to come to Shanghai.
From the time the headquarters’ orders were issued to Nanjing, the organizational relationship between Wu Huan and Comrade Xie Ruonan was not with the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, but directly under the ‘Huo Miao Group’, to be precise, directly under the leadership of Comrade ‘Farmer’ from the headquarters.
In addition, he was the only one who was arrested. However, Wu Huan and Xie Ruonan were unharmed, which also proves that the possibility of anything going wrong in Nanjing is extremely low.
Then, there is only one other possibility left:
He was arrested by mistake.
Perhaps it was the Shanghai Red Party, or even not necessarily the Red Party, but other organizations that had similar joint actions in the train station square, or other actions, and he was singled out because of some similar characteristics.
Cheng Qianfan quickly analyzed in his mind, and he was inclined to this possibility.
Coming to this judgment, he immediately felt at ease.
What we have to do now is how to pick ourselves out.
No matter what other organization's actions are at the train station, he must not be contaminated.
For a hidden agent like him, any possible doubts will be infinitely magnified.
Fortunately, he has always been cautious and had considered the possibility of unexpected situations before. Therefore, for this meeting, he had already prepared plans to deal with emergencies, so he should be safe.
Soon, several more young men, also wearing blue cloth coats, fur-soled cloth shoes, and black-rimmed glasses, were arrested and escorted to the car.
Some people had obviously experienced fierce resistance and were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
“Those who don’t want to suffer, please be honest.” An officer raised his riding crop and threatened fiercely.
“Dog spy!” A young man whose face was beaten with blood cursed, and was immediately kicked down by the soldiers and kicked around.
“Drive!” the officer snorted coldly and patted the roof of the car.
…
Wu Huan and Xie Ruonan did not dare to stop at the train station square. They called two rickshaws and named a hotel.
This is also pre-arranged. If the connection fails, the two people will quickly go to a hotel to meet up.
The rickshaw driver pulled the car halfway, Wu Huan suddenly woke up, and he immediately shouted to stop.
He got out of the car in a hurry.
Seeing him get out of the car, Xie Ruonan, who was following closely behind, also quickly got out of the car.
Wu Huan paid the fare, took his wife and left on foot, disappearing into the bustling crowd.
“Why don’t you go to the hotel?” Xie Ruonan asked.
“It’s not safe.” Wu Huan looked serious and was caught online. Although he was willing to trust his comrades, he had to prepare for the worst case scenario.
"Then where are we going now?" Xie Ruonan was a little at a loss. What happened suddenly was terrifying to this girl who had just participated in the revolutionary work.
“Let’s find a place to stay first.” Wu Huan suppressed his nervousness and said.
Looking at the nervous 'wife', Wu Huan forced a smile and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I have everything under my control. You were very calm just now, which is good."
Xie Ruonan opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. Her mind was still confused.
…
An hour later, the two stayed at a hotel on Saposai Road.
Putting their luggage in the hotel, Wu Huan and Xie Ruonan greeted the hotel clerk with a calm expression and left the hotel.
After walking around two streets, the two came to a telegraph hall.
“Call.” Wu Huan handed a one-yuan legal note to the staff and said with a smile.
