Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 91 The News Brought by Lao Zhou

Chen Jiehua was a little confused when he heard Zhou Yongsu's words. This is the telegram I asked Meixu to send. There's no problem!

But, Mr. Zhou, do you have any misunderstanding? Is this what "departing soon" means?

"We'll be leaving soon. Is that how you understand it?"

"Yes, Lao Liu and I hurriedly made two and got half a box of bullets. We were afraid that we would delay your business, so we bought a boat ticket and rushed it back to you. But I returned to Shanghai the day before yesterday and sent you five or six telegrams, but you didn't reply!"

Hearing this, Fujiwara Mio covered her mouth, and this time she didn't laugh secretly, but apologized silently!
"I've been receiving telegrams from the organization these past two days. I've been in frequent contact with them and forgot to adjust the frequency!"

Mio's mistake could be a big one or a small one, so she needs to be warned!
"I'm sorry, Lao Zhou! I'm sorry, Qingmu! I know I was wrong!"

"Alas, Mio, even if you know you're wrong, I have to remind you again. Behind enemy lines, there's no room for carelessness or mistakes! A tiny mistake or omission could lead to the sacrifice of one or even a large number of comrades!"

"Okay, okay, Mio knows she's wrong, so stop bullying her."

"Don't speak for her!"

"Mio, reflect on this for a moment. You'll be sending and receiving a lot more telegrams every day, and you'll need to switch frequency bands multiple times. Any mistake could lead to unpredictable and serious consequences!"

Fujiwara Mio wanted to explain further, but then thought better of it. She was indeed wrong. Any explanation would be a quibble, compounding her mistake. She had indeed been careless these past two days in trying to rescue the arrested comrade!
"Lao Zhou, how did you find this place? Didn't I tell you to buy a house here?"

"But you told me you reopened Aoki Pharmacy!"

"Have you met Lao Zhao?"

"No, there were two Japanese agents outside the pharmacy, and two other small spies from somewhere were watching. I didn't dare go in to look for him."

"What did you say? Are there other little spies watching the pharmacy? Is Lao Zhao being targeted? We can ignore the Japanese agents, but these two little spies are a bit troublesome!"

"No, you still didn't tell me how you found this place!"

"I found this place by following the taxi you called."

"You're really good, Old Zhou! Your agent tracking technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. It seems you really need to be sent abroad to train!"

"Come, let me see what treasure you brought me."

Zhou Yongsu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Qingmu finally stopped asking questions. If he continued to ask, he would not be able to explain himself!
I saw Fujiwara Mio at the pharmacy, and then followed her all the way to Jessfield Road. Mio was obviously preoccupied, and she didn't even try to stop following me. Can I tell her about this? If I tell her, Mio will get scolded again!
It’s so hard to be a good person!
"Hey! It really is a sniper rifle. Lao Zhou has good skills! He can even make it by hand!" Chen Jiehua said as he looked at it, touched the gun body, looked at the scope, and then looked at the magazine, and couldn't let it go!

This is truly the perfect weapon for killing and robbing!

"What brand is this gun? Are the bullets universal or special?"

"This is a modified Lee Enfield MK3 rifle, using the British 10 general-purpose bullet, with a -round magazine and a manual bolt action. But if you get skilled, you can still fire it at a rapid rate of fire!"

"Damn, if we had this in Warsaw, Mio wouldn't have been shot in the leg again! Old Zhou, come here, give me another hug!" Zhou Yongsu avoided Chen Jiehua's hug with disgust.

"This is so awesome! Old Zhou, you're a real treasure! Let me put it away first!"

Chen Jiehua dragged the suitcase upstairs and put it in the bedroom, then went downstairs to arrange Lao Zhou's room with Meixu. Lao Zhou would definitely stay at home tonight.

After settling Lao Zhou down, the two returned to the bedroom. Chen Jiehua loaded the gun and bullets into the space, pulled Fujiwara Mio onto the bed, and stared into her eyes.

"Mio, has anything happened in the organization lately? You've been so absent-minded these past two days, not only have you forgotten to contact us during your daily routine, you didn't even realize you were being followed!"

Chen Jiehua spoke in a low voice, afraid that Lao Zhou downstairs would hear. Fujiwara Mio was not stupid, and she was indeed a little confused, but after Chen Jiehua said this, she instantly understood that Lao Zhou had followed her home!
"Got it? Even though Lao Zhou wanted to help you hide it, he's a science and engineering guy and can't even lie. I took a taxi directly from the dock today. At most, he'd see me when I got out at the door, but there's no way he'd follow me all the way here!"

Mio nodded.

"The leader of our organization who was arrested last time was my teacher and the one who introduced me to the Party! I just found out a few days ago that he was tortured in the electric chair in there! He's almost dead! It's all my fault for not being able to think of a good way to get him out quickly!"

"Mio, look, I understand your feelings, but this is obviously wrong. When working behind enemy lines, you need to be as steady as a rock! If you're distracted, your movements will be distorted, your actions will be unbalanced, and your performance will be abnormal. In the end, there's a high probability that you won't be able to rescue the comrades you want to rescue, and you'll also end up getting hurt. It's not worth it!"

Chen Jiehua held Meixu's head, comforting her while whispering education, what should he do? He had to love his own woman and could only guide her slowly.

"British Concession Police Station, the people haven't been rescued yet? I'll think of a way. Find them something to do tomorrow to distract them."

"Also, Lao Zhou just mentioned that there are two other spies outside the pharmacy. We need to deal with them quickly tomorrow. If they are from the Guo Party's Party Affairs Investigation Department, it will be troublesome. I'm afraid Lao Zhao has them on his radar! We can't let anything else happen at this time!"

"What is the Party Affairs Investigation Section?"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. This is a special spy agency set up by the Communist Party to deal with our organization."

It’s hard to say. The predecessor of the Central Bureau of Investigation, Xu Enzeng’s Party Affairs Investigation Section, was about to enter Shanghai around this time, right?
Although I'd watched a lot of spy dramas in my past life, few of them covered such a long time ago. The Kuomintang is incompetent at everything, and they're best at targeting their own people.

After what Lao Zhou did, the two of them lost the mood to spend the night together in silence.

The next morning, Chen Jiehua drove Fujiwara Mio and Zhou Yongsu to find a place to have breakfast. After breakfast, they came to the park next to the pharmacy, parked the car, and then each found a place to ambush.

After a while, Zhao Shiyu came to open the door as usual. The agents arranged by the General Staff Headquarters had not appeared yet, but the two little spies that Lao Zhou mentioned followed.

But it is obvious from Lao Zhao's actions that he has noticed the two trackers, and Lao Zhao is still alert.

Chen Jiehua, Fujiwara Mio and Lao Zhou exchanged glances and walked into the pharmacy.

"Boss, you're back!"

"How's business lately? Is the warehouse well stocked? Take me to the warehouse to have a look."
