French Concession, Xiafeilu Mingde Bookstore.

Just after six o'clock, the closed sign was hung on the door handle.

A person wearing a felt hat, canvas bag, and one-piece clothes, was clean and looked like a driver or miner driving a tram.

Dongdong...

The man came to the door and looked around and found no abnormalities. Then he reached out and knocked on the door of the bookstore for a few regular clicks.

After a while, a sound came from inside, but the light was not turned on. Then, a gap was opened from inside by someone. A pair of eyes were hidden in the house. He saw the person's face clearly and said softly: "Come in."

The visitor turned his head and turned his body to look behind him vigilantly, then reached out and gently pushed open the door, and went in.

The door of the bookstore was quickly closed silently, and the time it happened was less than half a minute, and everything returned to its original state.

In a small room, under the dizzy light, the man took off his felt hat and exposed a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he had put on makeup, he could vaguely recognize that this person was Mu Zongfang.

"Why are you here?"

The speaker is about forty years old, wearing a shirt and a pair of black-framed glasses, and is gentle and has a scholarly temperament.

This person's name is Chen Jue, who is the nephew of the second "c" family and the mayor of Shanghai District, Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"District, our plan has progressed." Mu Zongfang sat down to report.

"Oh, did the White Snake find out where Professor Lan's house?"

"It's almost the same. Tonight, Baishe was invited to visit Professor Lan's house. She will find ways to further contact Professor Lan. As for where Professor Lan lives, it depends on her ability." Mu Zongfang said.

"Wang Puppet can't wait to control the finances in the occupied areas. Issuing currency is an indispensable step. Professor Lan is a famous expert in carving and plate making. If Wang Puppet wants to print his own currency, a talent like Professor Lan is essential. If we want to destroy their plans or delay their currency issuance process, we can only rescue Professor Lan's family."

"District, will they ask the Japanese to help them design and create the currency master version?"

"Professor Lan was recommended by the Japanese to Zhou Fuhai." Chen Jue said, "Professor Lan was deceived from the United States and was used by Wang Puppet. Now he can only do things for them. He is designing and engraving a master version of the currency for Wang Puppet."

"The Military Control Commission should have known this news first. Why did the superiors hand over this task to our Central Command?" Mu Zongfang said in confusion.

"Because they can't do it, I left it to us to try it. Who made us have a trump card like the White Snake in our hands?" Chen smiled with emotion.

"But the White Snake passed the message, asking us to be careful of Chen Sanshui. He used the method of taking medical parole to get her out of prison. I'm afraid the purpose is not simple, and he probably wanted to use him to deal with us." Mu Zongfang said.

"This is inevitable, otherwise he would be so kind to protect the White Snake?" Chen Jue sneered, "But, it's not certain who can use anyone. He wants to use the White Snake to catch us. Why can't we take advantage of this opportunity to get the White Snake to approach Professor Lan and then rescue the person in one fell swoop?"

"That white snake..." Mu Zongfang's heart moved and asked with some depression.

"The white snake was introduced to Professor Lan by Chen Sanshui. If there is a problem with the white snake, he will not be able to escape. So, if something happens and involves himself, what do you think he will do?"

"In order to protect himself, he will definitely prove the innocence of the White Snake."

"That's right, Professor Lan is just the white snake around him. The person who leaked the news can be the white snake or someone else." Chen Jue said.

"I understand, where is Chu Nanyang?"

"What do you think of Chu Nanyang?"

"He is a good seedling, but he has a stubborn temper and a bit silly. However, he has a deep relationship with his sister Baishe, which can be used." Mu Zongfang said, "By the way, he recently fell in love with a woman named Chen Mingzhu, who is the younger sister of Chen Mingchu, who is lurking in No. 76 of the Military Commission. It is said that Chen Mingchu exposed his identity and has a close relationship with her sister."

"Chen Mingzhu, I know that after the first case of Chen Mingchu, she was also under house arrest. It should have been identified and she was released?" Chen Jue said in surprise.

"Well, not only was they released, they were also appointed as the deputy chief of the General Affairs Department of the Political Police Department of the newly established Wang Puppet Police Department. This is a very popular position of power. It is said that Chen Mingchu has a bad relationship with Chen Sanshui on the surface, but in fact, they have a private understanding of each other and their relationship is definitely not ordinary. Since Chen Mingchu returned to the Military Control Commission, there has been no news. At this time, Chen Mingzhu was released and was entrusted with important tasks. I am afraid there is also articles here." Mu Zongfang analyzed.

"Of course, I have also been studying Chen Sanshui during this period. I found that this person is the most difficult to deal with in No. 76. One day, once he takes charge of No. 76, I'm afraid that we will have trouble." Chen Jue said.

"London, it's not that serious, right?" Mu Zongfang opened his mouth wide.

"Chen Sanshui is the director of the Inspectorate No. 76. He is different from others. He is an internal department. We also have such departments within ourselves. These people are specialized in investigating ourselves. What is our attitude towards these people?" Chen Jue asked.

"Of course I stayed away from it." Mu Zongfang showed a hint of disgust. No matter which institution, the people who were embarrassed and investigated themselves were unwelcome.

"Yes, I just stay away from it. But on No. 76, although not everyone likes him, the director of the inspection department, but a large number of people have a very good relationship with him. For example, Tang Keming of the Intelligence Department, Four Yewen of the Secretariat Department, General Affairs Department, and the Military Unified Department, aren't it strange that these departments are not afraid of the Inspectorate Department causing trouble for them?"

Mu Zongfang nodded.

"Of course, I don't show mercy when I ask for trouble, but why can the people in these departments still make him hate him?" Chen Jue said, "This is the cleverness and terrible thing about this person's methods. He either doesn't do it, and he will convince the other party. Moreover, first of all, he does it himself, so others naturally have nothing to say. Therefore, the inspector's office at No. 76 is the most upright and combat-oriented department. Fortunately, they are internal. If they are used to deal with us, you can imagine what the situation will be like?"

After listening, Mu Zongfang was a little chilled.

It’s a bit incredible that he is obviously a villain, but he does things with a dignified feeling. Is this a fact or is it a superficial appearance?

But it's just appearance, it's scary enough.

"As far as I know, the Military Control Commission has at least three plans for assassination against him, and each time it failed. Some plans even died in the womb." Chen Jue said, "This person has no shortcomings, bad luck, he doesn't smoke big cigarettes, nor does he likes dancing. Those entertainment venues that people like to go to will only go to socializing. He goes home as soon as possible after get off work every day. He is simply a turtle, leaving you nowhere to quit."

"Wouldn't you be able to kill him at all?"

"It's not easy to kill him. Which of the people in the Military Control Commission doesn't want to kill him, but they are still alive?" Chen Jue said, "Don't think about these unrealistic things first. Our task is to rescue Professor Lan and transfer his family out of Shanghai. As long as we can complete this task, we can file their prestige in front of the Military Control Commission."

"I understand, district seat."

"Tell Baishe that her task is to understand the residence of Professor Lan's family and their living habits, and try to do everything in detail." Chen Jue ordered.

"clear."

"Also, when we meet, don't come directly to the bookstore. Call me in advance. I will tell you the time and place of meeting on the phone." Chen Jue said.

"yes."

...

No. 12, Lane 1136, Yuyuan Road, Professor Lan’s residence was quite harmonious. Although Chen Miao was a secret agent, his knowledge was not bad. In many aspects, he was self-taught. He talked to Professor Lan about the past and the present, and could answer any topic. Even Lan Yuhai’s proud seal carving surprised him.

You know, he was locked up here, and except for his work day and night, he could hardly find a person with a common language.

Although Chen Miao is a spy, he knows seal carving and seems to have a good level. This is simply incredible. Lan Yuhai seems to have met a soulmate, and when he is having a meal, he starts discussing with Chen Miao.

Chu Qingxuan knows nothing about seal carving. She doesn't even have the chance to interrupt, so she can only quietly accompany Haruko Honma to say this.

They have something to say, such as the art of flower arrangement, and tea ceremony...

Only Lan Dong's little heart received huge damage. None of the four adults seemed to pay attention to him and ignored him.

If the dishes on the table hadn't been cold, Lan Yuhai would have wanted to continue discussing with Chen Miao.

After dinner, Lan Yuhai realized that he was concerned about discussing seal carving with Chen Miao that night, forgot the protagonist of the guest invited today, and quickly apologized to Chu Qingxuan and said that he had prepared a thank-you gift for Chu Qingxuan.

A chicken blood stone seal!

This is a work carved by the "ghost hand" Lan Yuhai himself, with the logo of Lan Yuhai on it. If you sell it outside, it will cost at least several thousand yuan.

Not to mention, the bloodstone collections taken out by Lan Yuhai are all of the excellent quality. This one can exist as a family heirloom.

"Thank you, Professor Lan." This gift is quite precious to Chu Qingxuan. Many people can't even ask for it. They easily got one. I guess my father would be extremely happy when he took it back. However, this seal is his own name and can only be collected by himself.

"Director Chen, you have one too."

"I have it too?" Chen Miao said in surprise.

"Of course, thanks to Director Chen's care, Lan should express his gratitude." Lan Yuhai took a small blue box and handed it to Chen Miao and said, "Director Chen accepted it with a smile."

Chen Miao opened the box and saw that it was not a seal, but a peace buckle made of white mutton fat jade. He took it out and put it in his hand, and rubbed it: "The best Hotan white mutton fat jade."

Lan Yuhai smiled slightly and nodded.

Chen Miao solemnly put it away: "So, Chen is disrespectful."
