Chapter 461

An explosion at the train station, followed by another round of rioting, slowly spreads throughout the city.

The streets began to be chaotic.

There were people running around everywhere.

There was a lot of noise.

The radio stations were full of Japanese programs, and the people searched all the channels but could not find a single Chinese-speaking person to tell them to seek refuge or to settle down.

Like headless flies, the people had to take to the streets to find out what was going on.

In the midst of this chaos, Chen Huaimin had a hard time walking to his contact point with his two women.

His contact saw him coming and was opening the door to let him in when he saw him dragging two women behind him.

Contact: “……”

When he was about to close the door, he saw Chen Huaimin, a fool with a face of gray and sweat, like a dog driven out of the house, good and stupid and dull.

Contact to the mouth of the “I do not know you” swallowed back.

He sighed and opened the door to let Chen Huaimin and the two women in.

He told the two women to go upstairs and stay there while he and Chen Huaimin talked downstairs.

“What’s going on? Why did you bring these two to my place?” Confidentiality principle forgotten?

The contact stared at the fool.

Chen Huaimin whispered with a dark face, “Su Chunjun threw me down and ran away! I think he’s trying to betray!”

Contact: “……”

Chen Huaimin said so and so, and so and so.

The contact nodded: “That is to say,you went back with these two women, and he took you all with him and ran away, then threw you out on the street, right?”

Chen Huaimin nodded, vaguely feeling that this was a little bit wrong.

The contact put his arm around his shoulder and whispered in his ear, “He should have been instructed to evacuate, might as well you take these two back again, had to lie to you one more time.”

Chen Huimin: “…… Ah, is that so?”

He then laughed.

The contact looked at him lovingly, “Otherwise, why didn’t he lock you up together in the residence and burn you to death?”

Why not shoot you and slaughter you? You fool.

I, for example, would love to give you a shot right now, you big fool.

Chen Huimin: “So what do I do now? I don’t have a mission anymore.”

His mission was to follow Su Chunjun.

“Do I go to him?” He asked.

The liaison officer shook his head, there was no such instruction, which meant that there was no need for Chen Huaimin to continue to follow Su Chunjun, it could be that the next mission was not suitable for him to be involved in, or it could be that the next person had already been arranged, and that there was no need for Chen Huaimin to go after him.

What is the next arrangement for Chen Huaimin.

According to the usual practice, is to let him lurk down. As a small member of the Intelligence Department of the State **, and also had such a big task as monitoring Su Chunjun, his name should have been recorded.

Su Chunjun side gone, the follow-up still need to give him a sweep of the matter, which are to be looked at again.

When the time comes, Chen Huaimin can come in handy.

However, Chen Huaimin has two women with him now.

These two women should both be related to Su Chunjun.

They both have information about Su Chunjun, and probably know something about Zhu Yuyan as well.

Then they couldn’t be easily put aside and left alone.

It just so happened that Su Chunjun had given this task to Chen Huaimin.

The contact thought about it and thought it would be better to go along with it.

He said, “You don’t have a new mission right now, but the last one wasn’t completed.”

Chen Huaimin: “What mission?”

The contact pointed a finger upstairs, “You will be responsible for sending these two women out of the city, and make sure that the two of them won’t be noticed by the Japanese, and won’t be captured by the Japanese. Otherwise, you’ll have to kill them.”

Chen Huaimin just felt that this task was too big for him, and when he heard the latter, he immediately shook his head, “There’s no need to take their lives. Then I’ll give them another ride, and I’ll come back when they’re safe.”

The contact said, “That’s just right, you hurry out of the city. The city is in chaos right now, it’s a good opportunity!”

Chen Huaimin happened to want to ask about the explosion at the train station, so he asked, “Why was the Japanese train station suddenly attacked? Is there any intelligence?”

The contact shook his head, “This is not even something you should know, hurry up.”

Not giving him the intelligence meant that the one leading this matter was not Guo **, nor was it the Japanese.

It was highly likely that it was one of their own people who did it!

Chen Huaimin was about to leave with the two women, and before he left, he suddenly came back and asked, “I’m leaving too, what about you?”

The contact man guarded the small, broken building and said with a smile, “Me? I can’t leave, I still have a mission.”

Chen Huaimin understood at once.

Su Chunjun had left, and so had he. But there were still their people in this city. The liaison still needed to deliver messages for the other comrades, do the logistics, and cooperate with them in their mission.

Everyone could leave, he couldn’t, he was a lighthouse in the darkness.

He stood still, his eyes flushed.

The contact smiled at him, gave him a tight hug, and whispered, “Get going.”

Chen Huaimin took the two women with him, and like a drop of water, he blended into the tide of people leaving the city.

It seemed like everyone was fleeing out.

They were soon out of the city, moving inland, along with the crowd.

Slowly, Chen Huaimin heard that the train station had been bombed not once, but three times. Each time, the Japanese soldiers came back, and their military vehicles and artillery trucks were blown up again.

The wharf was also bombed.

In addition to these two major transportation routes, which were guarded by the Japanese, a number of important facilities and places in the city were bombed.

Including universities, hospitals, and churches.

The fire at the Soo’s residence is also fondly remembered.

Because the fire took a long time to go out, no one went in to put it out in the meantime. Only after it had burned clean did the Japanese send someone in, only to find no body. They said Mr. Su had run away with his wife and concubine.

No matter how many curses Su Chunjun had on him, the people of the city actually knew very well who was desperately trying to block the Japanese invasion and who was protecting their city.

Therefore, after Su Chunjun’s disappearance, the people in the city began to flee frantically.

The explosions at the train station and the docks also caught the Japanese army off guard and made it difficult to fight for a while.

Although the Japanese repeatedly reinforced their troops in the hope of re-establishing order in the city, it was still of little use.

They returned the radio to the Chinese, ordering the radio announcer to call out in Chinese for the Chinese to come back, telling them that the city was safe, that there were no more explosions, and that food would be distributed as soon as they returned to the city.

They also re-announced Su Chunjun’s guilt and branded him a sinner, saying that he had abandoned the city and fled, and that he had lost his loyalty to his country and his people.

The radio station had just been stabilized for less than two days when it was surprisingly sabotaged as well. Signal towers were blown up and power lines were heavily damaged.

This sabotage against Japanese rule lasted for a full twenty-one days, with no less than a million residents of the city moving away, and by the time the Japanese finally regained control of the train station and wharf, there were less than 100,000 residents in the city, and a good portion of them were Japanese immigrants.

On the Japanese merchant ship, Su Chunjun was wearing a suit and tie, holding a newspaper and reading it.

Japanese warships have come close, and Russia is unhappy about it.

There is a food crisis in France and farmers riot.

Britain begins the strictest food rationing and all foreigners must wear armbands before they can go out on the streets.

American Hollywood stars traveled to military camps to comfort soldiers and perform songs and dances.

……

The ship made a whining sound and was about to dock.

Su Chunjun lifted his suitcase and mixed in the crowd to get off the ship.

He didn’t leave the pier, and directly looked for an American ship carrying corn at the pier, gave the first mate a few dollars and managed to board the ship.

His intention was to take a ride around the sea and then come back, so that the Japanese wouldn’t be able to catch his route so easily.

Also, he needed to find a chance to reconfirm his next mission with the organization.

Was he going to just run away from here on out, or was there another mission waiting for him.

This was already the fourth ship he was looking for at sea, he didn’t have a certain destination, he went wherever the ship went, disembarking and changing ships when he reached a port.

A month had passed since he left.

During this month, he always thought of Yan Yan.

But he didn’t even know where she was.

Was she safe?

Is she safe?

She wasn’t caught right.

He hoped she was well.

When he was at sea, he’d pay the captain to send a telegram home for him.

He hoped news would come through.

He’s sent four telegrams so far, and he hasn’t heard a thing.

Why?

Why hasn’t he heard anything? No instructions?

Has something happened to his liaison?

Without a liaison officer, how could he contact the organization?

The thought of this made his heart extraordinarily difficult to calm.

This was something that had never happened in all these years.

The liaison officer he had contacted by telegram had been in contact with him for a much longer time than the liaison officer he had met when he arrived in the city. Once he had met and contacted this liaison, he stopped communicating by telegraph.

Now that he’s gone, he’ll have to reactivate telegraph contact.

Doesn’t that work?

Is this contact abolished?

But he had already left, and there was no way he could go back to the liaison officer.

At that moment, a crew member came over and called him, “Jack, there’s a telegram for you.”

Su Chunjun immediately smiled and said, “Great! I’ve spent all my money!”

The crewman laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

Su Chunjun: “I’ll buy you a drink when I have money! Drink the best wine!”

He bounced to the telegraph room and got his telegram.

–Known. Panacea. Family in Hawaii, may go there.

Su Chunjun froze.

Was he being told to go to Hawaii?

Family?

His heart skipped a beat.
