Chapter 763 Joint
"I didn't betray you!" Huanyan argued.

Before Huanyan could finish her words, An Ming interrupted her and said, "Then why would Xiao Rizi target us!"

"I, I didn't report your situation, I just reported your traffic officer, but I don't know what went wrong, and the information will appear in Xiao Rizi!"

"What's the difference between this and betraying me?" An Ming wanted to ask loudly, but was afraid that his voice would be heard, so he grabbed Huan Yan's snow-white neck and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Huanyan's neck was strangled and she couldn't speak at all, so she grabbed An Ming's hand.

"Cough cough cough~!" Feeling An Ming's hand relax, Huan Yan coughed twice, and then said a little excitedly:

"I don't know what I'm doing, but I know that if you're a Red, there's no way we can be together!"

After saying that, he hugged An Ming and then pleaded softly:

"How about we go to Milijian together? Give up your and my current identities, and start over in Milijian~!"

Faced with this woman who loved him deeply, An Ming did not want to get rid of him, and his superiors did not give any instructions.

But this woman actually betrayed himself. Whether out of patriotism or personal feelings, he could not forgive Huanyan.

An Ming was in a very complicated mood at this time, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

But An Ming knew that he and Huan Yan would never be together, so he shook off Huan Yan's hand, turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Huanyan quickly grabbed An Ming and said anxiously:

"Where are you going? Please don't leave!"

An Ming paused for a moment and said patiently:

"Actually, I wanted to tell you before that you are like summer, and I am like winter, and we can never hug each other at the same time."

"If you want to touch snow on a hot stove, either the snow will melt into water and put out the stove, or the stove will burn out before the snow melts into water!"

Huanyan failed to catch An Ming after all. She watched him leave and felt hopeless for a moment.

Then, Huan Yan, feeling distraught, returned to the nightclub, lit a cigarette, ordered a bottle of wine, and then drank one cup after another, with tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.

But a man not far away from him was dazzled when he saw him.

That’s right, this person was Cheng Hai’an who took the film back from Masahiro Nakanishi’s house.

As the top star of Xianlemen, even though he didn't know him, it didn't prevent him from knowing Huanyan.

Seeing that she was drinking alone, a good idea suddenly came to his mind, so he took the wine and the glass and sat down next to Huanyan.

Seeing Huanyan finished her wine, Cheng Hai'an poured her another glass. The two of them didn't even speak in between.

When Huanyan staggered away, Cheng Hai'an put the cork back into the red wine bottle and said to the bartender:
"This unfinished bottle of wine will be kept in the name of Miss Huanyan until next time!"

"Okay sir!" The bartender didn't doubt anything. After all, this kind of thing was very common in Xianlemen.

······
In the early morning of December 1941, 12, the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier-based aircraft and mini-submarines quietly arrived in Hawaii.

Then, 414 aircraft from six aircraft carriers were ready to attack. The first wave of 183 aircraft still broke through the clouds and fog and rushed towards Pearl Harbor.

The Pacific War broke out with an attack on the Milwaukee Navy's Pacific Fleet, including the Pearl Harbor base in Hawaii, the Milwaukee Army, Navy, and airfields on Oahu.

It was this attack that eventually dragged Milijian into World War II.

Of course, there are two versions of the attack on Pearl Harbor. One is that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a real attack, and the other is that it was an American conspiracy and the attack was deliberately made successful.

There is nothing much to say about the first one. It is written like this in history books, but as the biggest beneficiary of World War I, people do not believe that Mi Lijian would be as simple as a little white flower.

虽然米粒坚在珍珠港，但在被攻击时珍珠港共有96艘船只，共被瘫痪了8艘战列舰、3艘巡洋舰、3艘驱逐舰、8艘辅助性船只，合计共30万吨。

But in the end, the only battleships that were completely destroyed or no longer used were the USS Arizona, the USS Oklahoma, the USS Utah, which was used as a target ship, and two destroyers.

The remaining ships were salvaged and repaired in the harbor, which took more than a year, and were eventually put into use in the Pacific War against Japan.

The key point is that, coincidentally, none of the three aircraft carriers, which are the main battleships of Milijian, are in the port.

The Lexington suddenly left a few days ago, the Enterprise is on its way back to Pearl Harbor, and the Saratoga is being repaired in San Diego.

It's just a coincidence that the losses seem heavy, but in fact they are extremely limited.

But these are not important. After all, they will not affect our daily life. The next day, we will take over the concessions of other countries in Shanghai.

······
On the other side, An Ming was queuing at the bank to withdraw money when a man's voice came from behind him:
"Are you from Peking? You look very familiar!"

The person who spoke was Fang Qianmo, who was using secret codes to make contact.

An Ming was startled when he heard this, but he suppressed his excitement and began to give the secret code in a calm tone:

"No, I just lived in Peking for seven years!"

After exchanging secret signals, the two left quietly, then came to the Café de Café and sat down in an empty place.

After the waiter served the coffee, Fang Qianmo said calmly:

"We have verified what you reported. After Huanyan reported the clues about your courier, they just filed it and did not take any action."

"But one of their insiders was caught by the double agent Lao Yi, and he later revealed the matter of the courier."

"And through the courier, he found the radio operator, and he wanted to contact you through the courier to catch you."

For some reason, An Ming seemed to feel relieved after hearing the findings of his superiors' investigation.

At this time Fang Qianmo said: "In view of your current situation, the organization has decided to have you withdraw from Shanghai and transfer you to other places to hide."

But when An Ming heard that they were asked to withdraw from Shanghai, he felt unhappy, or rather, reluctant!

Fang Qianmo did not continue speaking, but kept observing An Ming. Seeing An Ming's expression, he felt a little disappointed.

But An Ming finally sighed and said:
"Okay, I'll go back and pack my things and leave Shanghai as soon as possible!"

Fang Qianmo nodded without saying anything more, but just got up and left.

It was afternoon, and An Ming, carrying his suitcase, entered the station with Hao Birou.

However, just as they were queuing, a foreign man in his forties came up to him.

Then the three of them looked at each other, walked to the side and whispered to each other. "Are you going to leave Shanghai?" the foreign man asked.

"There's no other way. We left in such a hurry that I had to ask her to give you a message!" An Ming said in a low voice.

The foreigner glanced at Hao Birou, then nodded and said:
"Today a young man came to TASS (the former Soviet Union's state news agency). He said he was from Dongjing and the person he was looking for in Shanghai was arrested, so he wanted to find this person's friends!"

The foreign man was paying attention to the situation around him while speaking. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he continued:
"He said this person had told him before that if he couldn't find him, he could go to TASS for help, and he also told him your code name!"

An Ming narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, because this code name "poet" was exactly the code name he used when he and Masahiro Nakanishi interacted.

"Where is he now?" An Ming asked quickly.

The foreign man quickly said, "Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. I didn't know you had resigned from Xianlemen, so I asked him to meet at table number 7 at Xianlemen. The code is "Poems of Pushkin"!"

Hearing this, Hao Birou asked An Ming, "Do you want to go?"

An Ming thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you leave Shanghai first and be careful on the road!"

"I'll go!" Hao Birou interrupted An Ming and analyzed:

"After all, you just asked for leave from Manager Sun, and suddenly showed up at Xianlemen. People will definitely notice something unusual!"

At the same time, Yoshio Fujiki, the head of the Special High Technology Department, conducted extensive investigations and finally set his sights on the Kawasaki Maru cargo ship that had recently docked at the port.

Because the time when the ship docked coincided with the time when Masahiro Nakanishi and the person who delivered the film intelligence appeared, plus the sushi with Dongjing flavor, all the clues pointed to one person.

That is Cheng Hai'an, who has been hanging around in Xianlemen recently and behaving abnormally. Especially after they discovered that he had been to TASS, he became their main target.

······
next day
The Xianlemen was still the same as before, with people singing and dancing as usual, and was not affected at all by Xiao Ri's takeover of the concession.

At this time, Cheng Hai'an was sitting at table number seven, spinning the wine cork around out of boredom.

But when he was extremely bored, he keenly noticed that several men were looking at him frequently.

"Have I been exposed?" Cheng Hai'an was shocked, and then he began to look around.

As a result, he really noticed something unusual. He looked at the time and it was almost time for the appointment.

Just at this moment, a beautiful woman in cheongsam came in, holding a copy of Pushkin's Poems. After taking a quick look around, the woman walked slowly towards her.

"What should I do? This is his contact!" Cheng Hai'an was extremely anxious at this time, and it was too late to stop it.

The woman came closer and closer to him, and when she was two tables away from him, the two of them looked at each other inadvertently.

Cheng Hai'an could no longer care about many things at this time. He could not let the other party be exposed, and he also had to make the other party notice his reminder.

So he deliberately pushed the red wine bottle onto the table when the woman looked at him.

Then, in Hao Birou's slightly surprised eyes, Cheng Hai'an suddenly stood up and left, without any intention of talking to her, and passed by her.

Hao Birou immediately understood that it was inconvenient for the other party to contact her, thinking of his actions just now.

Cheng Hai'an's sudden action at this moment immediately alerted the Special High Technology Spy who was following him, but because of nervousness, he subconsciously looked at Cheng Hai'an, thus exposing their surveillance.

The Special High Technology Department only thought that they had been discovered by Cheng Hai'an. Since the other party was alert, they naturally could not let him escape.

So the team leader gave the order directly: "Catch him, don't let him run away!"

Cheng Hai'an did not resist, but raised his hands to give his comrades time to evacuate.

Hao Birou, who was passing by Table 7, knew that the other party was covering for her, so she put away the cork as if nothing had happened and hurriedly prepared to leave.

Cheng Hai'an's abnormal behavior just now made the team leader realize that someone must be preparing to contact him.

However, when he chased out, the woman was nowhere to be found, so he could only take Cheng Hai'an back to the Special High Technology Department.

On the other side, after Hao Birou returned, she gave the wine bottle cork to An Ming. However, after breaking the cork into pieces, she couldn't find anything useful inside?

Then he reported the matter to Fang Qianmo. However, after listening to An Ming's story, Fang Qianmo suddenly asked:
"Your courier and radio operator were exposed, the person from Dongjing was suddenly arrested, and the contact person who went there didn't bring anything back?"

"You reported earlier that it was Huanyan's fault. What about now? Don't you think there are many suspicious points in this matter?"

"I am innocent?" An Ming explained quickly.

However, Fang Qianmo had lost his patience with him, or more accurately, had lost the trust between comrades.

But now we can't just say that An Ming is a traitor, so Fang Qianmo shook his head and said:
"You'd better leave Shanghai as soon as possible! After returning to northern Jiangsu, the organization will investigate you."

"I haven't got the information yet. I can't just leave. The information that was sent by Nakanishi Masahiro must be important information. I can't give up just like that!"

"Haven't you had enough?" Fang Qianmo asked earnestly, "What else do you want?"

"The courier and radio operator were exposed, and the people from Dongjing were arrested. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

"Stop hurting others and yourself. Do you want to wait until Hao Birou is arrested before you give up?"

"No matter what, I have to get the information, and then I will let the organization deal with me!" An Ming said stubbornly.

Seeing that An Ming refused to listen, Fang Qianmo immediately scolded him:

"Do you think I don't know what's on your mind? The reason you don't want to leave is because you can't bear to leave the prosperous world of Shanghai, and you can't bear to leave your girlfriend who is a military spy?"

Then Fang Qianmo said earnestly: "Comrade An Ming, you are making a mistake, do you know?"

"I'm not, I didn't, I just don't want to accept it!" Then An Ming immediately stood up and said:
"Once I get the information, I will leave Shanghai immediately and will not stay even for a second!"

"I still say the same thing. Leave it to the organization to deal with when the time comes!"

Having said that, An Ming turned and left, while Fang Qianmo immediately arranged for people to have Hao Birou evacuate as soon as possible and stop all contact with An Ming.

······
On the other side, in the prison of the Special High Technology Bureau, Cheng Hai'an was locked in an iron cage about half a person's height.

On the inside of the cage, there are many sharp iron nails welded inwards. As long as the person inside moves slightly, the sharp nails will immediately pierce into the flesh.

Cheng Hai'an just squatted there motionless, not daring to move his body at all, otherwise he would be pricked like a hedgehog.

At this time, Fujiki Yoshio came to Cheng Hai'an and said slowly:

"Even if you don't say anything, it doesn't mean we don't know anything!"
