Chapter 777 Banquet
After Chen Kehai came to Shanghai, we had been in contact through telegrams and dead mailboxes, and today we finally met officially.

"I really didn't expect that the organization would send you to No. 76!" Old Duan asked curiously at this time:

"Didn't Fang Li ever doubt you?"

Chen Kehai smiled and said, "How could he not doubt it? He has been suspicious since he was a child. He even doubts himself, let alone others!"

"From the moment I appeared in front of him, he was already doubting me."

"But the materials the organization prepared for me were very clean, and he couldn't find any problems!"

"That's good!" After a conversation, Lao Duan returned to the topic: "How is Lao Zhao doing now?"

Chen Kehai shook his head and said, "The medicine you gave me worked, but his physical condition is probably not optimistic now!"

"But I have already secured a chance for him to be sent to the hospital, which is why I am here today!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Duan said happily:
"Great! As long as Lao Zhao is sent to the hospital, we will naturally find a way to rescue him!"

"But I heard that you deliberately let Lao Zhao give you up!" Thinking of Chen Kehai's previous risky move, Lao Duan persuaded again:

"You are taking too much risks. You must pay attention to your own safety!"

Chen Kehai sighed and said:
"I had no choice at the time. Unit 76 did not allow interrogators to have contact with prisoners. If we followed the original plan, our medicine would not have reached Lao Zhao's mouth at all!"

"So I had to let him bite me out so that I could take the opportunity to confront him and give him the medicine!"

However, Lao Duan still said with some concern:
"But I still think that it's too risky for you to do this. You are now behind enemy lines, in the enemy's base camp. Your every word and action is related to your own safety. You must not take it lightly!"

"Old Duan, I understand what you mean. If it were anyone else, I would definitely not act this way."

"But now I'm facing my childhood friend. You don't understand Fang Li's character. We have to play a real and fake game with him so that he can't figure out my tricks!"

"Believe it or not, the more Lao Zhao bites me, the less likely Fang Li will believe that I am a member of the Red Party!"

······
On the other hand, Fang Li and Lao Jin sorted out Chen Kehai's behavior in the whole incident.

Finally, after listening to Lao Jin's analysis, Fang Li murmured to himself: "It seems that Chen Kehai is not the traitor!"

Old Jin smiled in the house, then said with emotion:

"To be honest, when that underground party member gave Chen Kehai away, even I almost believed him!"

"If you hadn't insisted on a confrontation between them, I would have done it directly!"

"That's right!" Fang Li smiled helplessly, then said:

"The Red Party has always been meticulous in its actions, and his background is so clean. If he really is a member of the Red Party, it is impossible for him to be easily identified!"

"Besides, if the Red Party's secrecy work is really so trivial, they are not our biggest opponent!"

Then Fang Li said absentmindedly:
"Most of them would rather die than surrender after being arrested, their mouths are harder than rocks, and those who surrender weakly are the exceptions!"

And you see this Red Party member named Zhao Changxian, he just insisted that Chen Kehai was their man, and we have just sorted out his records, but up to now, he has not revealed any useful information!
Fang Li then laughed and said, "This is definitely a Red Party member who has been engaged in underground work for a long time and has extremely rich experience in struggle!"

Lao Jin also smiled and said, "This shows that his status and position must be quite high. Even the two of us almost fell into his trap."

At this point, Lao Jin restrained his smile and said solemnly:

"So I suggest that we send him to the Army Hospital. If we leave him outside, I'm a little worried that the omnipresent Red Party will take advantage of us!"

"It's a pity that the beds in the Army Hospital are too tight, otherwise~!"

"Ding-ling-ling-ling~!" At this time, the phone in front of Fang Li rang.

Fang Li picked up the phone and said:

"Which one?"

"Oh hello hello!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"no problem!"

"I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"

After Fang Li put down the phone, he spread his hands and said happily:
"Okay, don't worry now, the bed problem has been solved!"

Then Fang Li stood up and said, "Let's go find my good brother. It seems like he has been working in vain today!"

Later Fang Li also came to the hospital, and at this time Chen Kehai was just about to leave.

But when Fang Li said that the Army Hospital just had a bed vacated, he suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart and thought to himself that this was not good.

Sure enough, Fang Li was planning to transfer Zhao Changxian to the Army Hospital for treatment. Chen Kehai had no choice but to greet him with a smile and then follow him back to No. 76!
As soon as they left, Lao Duan, who had been an invisible figure, quickly spread the news and had to rearrange the rescue work.

Afterwards, the two of them came to the Army Hospital, and Fang Li proudly boasted to Chen Kehai:
"Look, this hospital not only provides fast treatment, but most importantly, it is safe. Even if the Red Party has three heads and six arms, they can't save anyone, let alone escape!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kehai couldn't help but sigh:
"I have always attached great importance to the hospital. There are more sentries in this hospital than in our department!"

At this moment, Fang Li was very happy, so he couldn't help showing off:

"Of course. The director has already said that the entire hospital will be closed at 9pm, and there will be military police guarding inside and outside!"

Chen Kehai nodded, but still took the initiative to suggest:
"I don't think the Red Party will take the risk, at least not in the short term!"

"But I think that when his treatment is almost complete and his condition is stable, we will transfer him back and definitely not give the Red Party any chance to take advantage of us!"

"That makes sense! You've really thought it through!" Fang Li smiled with satisfaction, then thought about the party in the evening, and said to Chen Kehai:
"By the way, there will be Mayor Ma's inauguration dinner tonight. You should come along!"

Cheng Kehai wanted to tell Lao Duan about the situation here, so Xiao Yiyi refused:

"I won't go. You know I'm too lazy to attend such social occasions!"

However, when Fang Li saw Chen Kehai being so lazy, he immediately said unhappily:
"Hey~, this is a mission you have to go on. It's a good opportunity to meet some of the celebrities on the beach. You can't just keep your head down and drive the cart. You have to keep your head up and look at the road!"

"Oh, by the way, I have to buy you a set of clothes!"

Fang Li had said so much, and Chen Kehai knew that he had to attend the banquet whether he liked it or not, otherwise it would seem too weird.

So after the two of them made sure that Zhao Changxian was not seriously injured, they went to a suit shop and each picked out a suit.

Chen Kehai happened to find a phone in the store, so while Fang Li was changing clothes, he quickly called Lao Duan!
After the call was connected, he quickly used codewords to tell Zhao Changxian the room number in the Army Hospital, and then hurried into the dressing room to change clothes. Fang Li, who was wearing a white suit, saw that Chen Kehai had not come out, and when he was getting impatient waiting, he saw him come out in a black suit!
While the two were buying clothes and preparing for the evening dinner, Zhao Changxian at the Army Hospital was observing the situation in the ward.

Thinking of the plan that Chen Kehai whispered to him before he left, he said to the sleeping spy:

"I need to go to the bathroom~!"

Upon hearing this, the awakened spy complained angrily: "Lazy people will pee and shit a lot!"

Although he was muttering to himself, he still helped Zhao Changxian to the toilet.

He then found a small medicine bag in the toilet and smeared the powder on his wound.

······
In the evening, a group of Shanghai celebrities gathered in the banquet hall of the Chinachem Hotel.

The newly appointed Mayor Ma gave an impassioned speech on the stage. When he was almost finished, Fang Li and Chen Kehai arrived late.

"In short, with your help, I am confident that I can build Shanghai into a model of common prosperity and long-term peace in East Asia!"

After Mayor Ma finished speaking, everyone in the audience applauded loudly, and Fang Li and Chen Kehai walked to the venue at a leisurely pace amid the applause.

Seeing the people from No. 76 gathered together, Fang Li brought Chen Kehai to Lin Hao, then greeted him with a smile:

"Director Lin, Director Fang, Miss Su, why are you all here?"

Fang Li greeted the people from No. 76, but ignored Xing Hanzhu, who came from No. , and simply ignored his existence.

After all, it was common knowledge that the two of them were incompatible, so it was good enough that they didn't fight on the spot.

"We can't help it. Mayor Ma has a lot of face, and the director doesn't have time to come, so we're all conscripted!" Then Lin Hao pointed at Fang Li and said with a smile: Aren't you the same as us?"

"Hahaha! That's true!" Fang Li said with a smile:

"Come on, Ke Hai and I are late, let's toast everyone a glass, as an apology..."

Then several people greeted each other and introduced themselves to each other, without paying any attention to Mayor Ma who was speaking above.

When Mayor Ma saw the two people arriving late, his face suddenly fell. It was really disrespectful to him.

Mayor Ma, who was still speaking on the stage, was extremely angry when he saw several people from No. 76 whispering below.

However, he knew that Fang Li was a gunman and could be called the modern Jinyiwei. In particular, No. 76 Li Lixing did not get along with him, but was valued more by Xiao Rizu than him. Therefore, he could only swallow his anger.

So Mayor Ma still followed the procedure and said:
"Speaking of working together, I would like to invite my colleague, Deputy Mayor Xie, to say a few words to you all. Welcome everyone!"

Deputy Mayor Xie stood up and declined, then flattered Mayor Ma, and finally said solemnly to everyone:
"Here, I would like to ask this young talent next to me to say a few words to everyone. Please welcome Director Fang from No. 76!"

Fang Li smiled and then declined:
"Thank you, Mayor. I am still inexperienced and not high enough in rank. There are so many people here with higher ranks than me. Let's just forget it!"

"It's suitable, how can it be inappropriate!" Lin Hao said with a smile:

"Director Fang's Second Division has made great contributions to the prosperity of Shanghai. It's the right person for him!"

Mayor Ma was in a very bad mood at this time, but no matter what his mood was, he had to invite Fang Li.

So he said indifferently:
"It's rare that everyone is so enthusiastic about inviting me. If Director Fang refuses again, it will be too disrespectful to everyone!"

"Yes, yes, yes~!" Then everyone applauded.

"Then I will obey your command!" Fang Li went on stage and began to speak amid the crowd's jeers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone. On behalf of No. 76..."

Fang Li then said a few polite words, congratulating Mayor Ma on behalf of Li Lixing, and finally Fang Li said with a smile:

"I just heard that Mayor Ma wants to build Shanghai into a model city. I personally feel deeply ashamed of this. Due to my busy official duties and many other things, I really don't have such lofty ambitions."

"As the saying goes, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan~!"

When Fang Li said this, there was a sudden buzz of laughter from the audience, and they began to whisper and laugh.

At this time, Su Yalu, who was beside Lin Hao, whispered to Lin Hao:

"What's wrong with Fang Li today? As far as I know, he went to college and is quite educated. How could he make such a low-level mistake and say Hong "Hao" instead of Hong Hu?"

Lin Hao glanced at Su Yalu, who had a charming face. With her intelligence, how could she not know why Fang Li said that.

It's just a small means to get closer to me and improve my relationship with me, but Lin Hao is very happy about it.

Glancing at Fang Jiashu not far away, Lin Hao thought that he was the only one who could help him bear the favor of this beauty.

At this time, Fang Li had finished his speech and had already stepped down from the stage to start socializing. Then the music started, and it was time for free activities at the party.

So Lin Hao extended his hand to Su Yalu and said, "Miss Yalu, we can talk about this topic slowly! I wonder if I can have the honor of inviting you to dance with me!"

Su Yalu put her hand on Lin Hao's and said with a smile: "Why not!"

Then Lin Hao put his arms around Su Yalu's slender waist, and the two entered the dance floor and started dancing.

Su Yalu put her hand on Lin Hao's shoulder and reminded him, "By the way, you haven't answered the question just now!"

"Haha~!" Lin Hao smiled and pointed in Fang Li's direction.

"Do you know what 'calling a deer a horse' means?" Lin Hao leaned close to Su Yalu's ear and said:

"On the one hand, it can reduce other people's vigilance against him, and on the other hand, it can quickly distinguish between the enemy and our camp. Wait, there will definitely be something interesting to watch later!"

Su Yalu also glanced at the people who were laughing at her in the distance, and said to Lin Hao with a sweet smile:

"I never knew Director Lin had such a kind heart!"

"There are still many things you haven't seen!" Then Lin Hao signaled the opposite side with his eyes, and then asked Su Yalu:

"By the way, what's going on with you guys? You're not really breaking up, are you?"

Su Yalu heard this and said angrily:
"It's not like you didn't laugh at me in the department that day, don't you know what's going on?"

Lin Hao smiled, and then deliberately persuaded:
"It's inevitable for men to have affairs outside. Men become bad when they have money. There is no man who doesn't cheat. You have been together for so long, it's such a pity to break up like this!"

"If he behaves like a saint and keeps himself clean, then it can only mean that he has big plans, and we should be careful!"
