The secret war is silent

"ah……"

"Are you trying to scare me to death, Xiaohui, sitting alone in the living room without turning on the light or making a sound?" Luo Yao returned home, entered the door, and turned on the light.

I saw a man sitting in the living room in the dark.

"Pretend, you can't tell if I'm at home or not?" Gong Hui made a long sound through her nose and snorted angrily.

"When I go home, I have to listen to the situation at home first. Are you tired?" Luo Yao said, "Have you eaten? If not, I brought you some cakes."

"You smell like a woman, and where is your coat?"

"Xiaohui, are you neurotic? How can I smell like a woman?" Luo Yao put down the cake and said tirelessly, "I've put the stuff here for you. Do you like it or not?"

After speaking, Luo Yao took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

"Xu Jihong found some clues through technical means, which is the phone number 'Lin Miao' made in the department store. Maybe he can find the real number." Luo Yaodao.

"Isn't that an empty number?" Gong Hui was surprised.

"It was an empty number, but the call was indeed made. In fact, someone set up a device to transfer the call to another number. When we called the number again, we only found that it was an empty number. "Luo Yao said, "Xu Jihong has already researched the principle of this converter and is conducting experiments. The results should be available soon."

"So, we will find the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Well, if everything goes well, it should be soon." Luo Yao nodded, "This weekend, you will accompany me to Twilight Cafe again."

"Do you doubt Lao Mu?"

"Aren't you also suspicious?" Luo Yao said, "It's getting late. Go to bed early. There will be a lot of things going on tomorrow at the weekend."

"Dad called. He's going back to Jiangcheng in two days. He said he might summon us?"

"Oh, what happened?" Luo Yao asked

"I don't know. I won't know until I meet him. It probably has something to do with the next stage of our latent work in the direct group after the fall of Jiangcheng." Gong Hui analyzed.

"Jiangcheng District has also begun to divide into groups. It seems that the higher-ups are planning to give up Jiangcheng on their own initiative." Luo Yao nodded. He had already guessed this. After all, there were various signs that the old man was unable to defend Jiangcheng. Under the circumstances, it means voluntary withdrawal.

If Jiangcheng cannot be defended, the most it will do is consume the Japanese army's time and military strength. This is the old man's strategy of "exchanging space for time."

"Before giving up, there will definitely be a way to clear the country. Materials and resources must not be left for the Japanese to use." Luo Yaodao.

"Will the Japanese do another massacre like Jinling?"

"It's hard to say. The troops who attacked Jiangcheng this time were the same troops that attacked Jinling. Especially the Sixth Division, which was full of evil in the massacre. No one can guarantee whether these beasts with human faces and animal hearts will come again in Jiangcheng." Luo Yao knew that the purpose of the Japanese army in capturing Jiangcheng was to force the Nationalist Government to surrender. If they madly raised the butcher knife again, it would be counterproductive. No one in the top Japanese army dared to take this risk.

"Old Qin, can you make me a bowl of noodles?"

"Um?"

"Are you going to do it or not?" Gong Hui suddenly blushed and asked coyly.

Luo Yao felt a chill for no reason and quickly retracted his kick from going up the stairs: "Okay, stop acting like a baby. I'll do it. Isn't it okay if I do it?"

…

"Boss Mu, I'm disturbing you again."

"Mr. Qin, you're welcome. You and Miss Hui will come every day without disturbing you." Lao Mu is still so elegant, intellectual and meticulous.

"That's right, we'll take care of your business." Luo Yao chuckled, "How about it, how is business these days?"

Lao Mu chuckled: "Just like that, the Japanese are about to attack. The rich are all ready to run away. I even want to change hands."

"Really, this is in the concession. Even if the Japanese come, they don't dare to enter the concession at will. Why should Boss Mu worry?" Luo Yao said in surprise.

"The Japanese are coming. If we Chinese can live a good life, sooner or later this concession will be remembered by the Japanese. Instead of staying, it is better to find a safe place as soon as possible."

"There are not many safe places now. Has Boss Mu decided where to go?" Gong Hui smiled slightly, picked up the coffee and took a sip and asked.

"Do you two have any good suggestions?"

"I just found a job in Jiangcheng, and Xiaohui is following me. We are all ordinary people, and I don't think the Japanese will make it too difficult for us people." Luo Yao said, "So, we don't plan to leave for the time being. , wait and see later.”

"I originally planned to go to Xiangcheng, but now it seems that Xiangcheng is not necessarily safe, so I have to go southwest." Lao Mu said with a sigh.

"Oh, Xiangcheng is a good place. Yuelu Academy is one of the four major academies in ancient China. It was a holy place for ancient scholars." Luo Yao said, "I will definitely go and see it if I have the chance."

"You two, I'm sorry, I have guests over there, please stay with me."

"You're busy, you're busy." Luo Yao said hurriedly.

…

I saw Lao Mu welcoming a young man in his thirties into a small room, which should be a lounge or office.

Although separated by a door.

But Luo Yao could still hear what the people inside said.

About ten minutes later, Lao Mu sent the young man out. His face didn't change much from before, but his eyes were a little dim.

"Xiao Hui, this old man wants to exchange the Twilight Cafe for 50,000 yuan. The other party can give up to 10,000 yuan, but the price has not been negotiated."

"He's going to sell Twilight Cafe?" Gong Hui asked in surprise.

"It seems that he really doesn't want to stay in Jiangcheng anymore." Luo Yao curled his lips slightly, "Although it is human nature to leave at this time, it is too coincidental."

"What should we do?"

"Buy it and use it as one of our strongholds in the French Concession." Luo Yao said.

"If you buy it, will you run it?" Gong Hui asked in surprise.

"I know how to prepare poison, how can I have trouble pouring coffee?" Luo Yao chuckled, "When the time comes, how about you becoming the boss?"

"I?"

"You are the most idle one now. They all have cover identities, but you don't. Isn't it appropriate for you to be the boss?"

"But I don't know how to do those things?"

"You are the boss, just find someone to come back and do it. As long as the taste is decent, the business will not be much worse." Luo Yao said, "But we need to get rid of this Lao Mu first."

"Don't think about it coming out one after another..."

"Well, I know what I'm doing." Luo Yao nodded, "Let Gu Yuan come forward tomorrow and talk to this old Mu, and win 20,000 yuan to win this Twilight Cafe!"

…

When I got home, I found that Xu Jihong was here.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say, don't come to my residence unless there is something important?" Luo Yao was a little unhappy. He was really afraid that the two women would fight, so he restricted Xu Jihong from coming to his home.

Xu Jihong said: "Team leader, I have something important to report to you."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xu Jihong glanced at Gong Hui, meaning that he could only tell Luo Yao about this situation, and no one else was qualified to listen, especially Gong Hui.

"Xiaohui, please stay away for a while."

With a cold face, Gong Hui agreed and went into the house.

Xu Jihong followed Luo Yao upstairs. Luo Yao asked her to sit down and asked: "Xu Jihong, now you can tell me, what is the important matter?"

"Team leader, do you know where that call was ultimately transferred?"

"Did you find out?"

"I found it, it's the Twilight Cafe that you and Gong Hui often go to." Xu Jihong said solemnly.

"Are you sure?" Luo Yao's voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

"Yes, we checked the line and found an abnormality in the line. This abnormal line is the telephone connected to Twilight Cafe." Xu Jihong said.

"Have you been to Twilight Cafe?" Luo Yao's expression changed.

"I've been there, how could I have discovered it if I hadn't gone?" Xu Jihong asked puzzledly.

"No wonder..." Luo Yao smiled. Lao Mu is really sensitive. It must have been Xu Jihong and the others who disguised themselves as maintenance workers at the telephone station, which aroused his suspicion. Once the line was exposed, his identity would also be exposed. , the most direct way is to leave Jiangcheng.

But he didn't want to just leave, otherwise there would be no more than three hundred taels of silver here.

He cashed out the coffee shop and left, and everything went smoothly. But it would be difficult to catch him again, and he could also change his identity and continue to lurk.

There are also waiters and chefs in his shop. Most of them are probably his subordinates, at least the barista must be.

"Team leader, can we control the Twilight Cafe?"

"Control?" Luo Yao shook his head, "That's in the French Concession. Moreover, this 'sir' is hidden so deeply. He must be a very cautious person. If we make the slightest move, he may be shocked. You can do it then." If you let him run away, the result will be in vain.”

"Team leader, are you already suspicious of Twilight Cafe?"

"ah?"

"Don't you and Gong Hui go there to drink coffee every weekend afternoon?" Xu Jihong said.

"How do you know that Gong Hui and I go to Twilight Cafe to drink coffee every weekend?" Luo Yao was slightly surprised. Only he and Gong Hui knew about this and never mentioned it to anyone?

"I……"

"Are you following me quietly?" Luo Yao's eyes changed immediately, and he didn't even notice.

"Actually, it was Gong Hui who told me. She said, team leader, you will accompany her to Twilight Cafe every weekend to drink coffee, eat, and watch movies." Xu Jihong was startled by Luo Yao's calmness. hurriedly explained.

"She really told you everything!" Luo Yao snorted coldly, how could he not understand that Gong Hui was showing off in front of Xu Jihong.

"You don't think she can really become your team leader..."

"My people, Xu Jihong, I also warn you, stop focusing on this and work hard. The party and state have trained us to fight war, fight chaos and save the country, not to fall in love!" Luo Yao gave a stern lesson. .

"Yes, team leader, I remember." Xu Jihong's face turned pale. Luo Yao was very evil and ruthless in the temporary training class. Otherwise, how could Li Fu and Wen Zishan, two arrogant guys, recognize him? Be the big brother?

"Inform everyone that Yuhetang will be on standby tomorrow morning!" Luo Yao suddenly ordered, not to make the same mistake he made with "Domen Erlang" again.
