Tang Yan was shocked when she heard this and argued forcefully: "I don't know what you are talking about.
My husband's surname is Lu, not Mai.
He is at most a left-wing literati, but he is definitely not a Communist Party."
Chen Zikun said: "Tang Yan, do you still want to lie in front of me?"
Tang Yan did not dare to look directly at him, and turned to look out the window angrily: "You are a selfish and narrow-minded man.
Because he is my husband, you are unwilling to lend a helping hand.
Please understand, you and I have broken up.
I I have my freedom and I have my life.”
Chen Zikun replied quietly: "Does your attitude sound like you are asking for help?"
Tang Yan was silent for a while, tears welling up in her eyes: "I really have no choice but to come and beg you, please help me."
As she said that, she knelt down.
Chen Zikun sat still, staring at Tang Yan for a while, and finally said: "Okay, I will call Cheng Ziqing, but the place where the crime occurred is the French Concession, and I am really not sure how effective my words will be. " "Thank you."
Tang Yan stood up, wiped the tears on her face, and went out.
She met Liu Ting who was holding her child.
The two passed by, but they looked back in unison.
Chen Zikun picked up the case file on the table.
It was sent by someone from Cheng Ziqing.
The person in the photo looked exactly like Mai Ping, who led his troops to blow down the gate of the office.
But his face was not aggressive at all and he really looked like a scholar. , could it be said that I really made a mistake?
He picked up the phone and called the French Concession Patrol Office, telling Cheng Ziqing that if this person had not violated the laws of the concession authorities, he should be let go.
Cheng Ziqing checked the details of this man named Lu Ping.
He was indeed just a left-wing scholar who loved to criticize the government in magazines and newspapers.
Apart from illegally holding guns, he had not violated the laws of the concession.
Since Chen Zikun had spoken out, he was happy to give him a gift.
As a favor, the palm thunder was confiscated, and Lu Ping was asked to issue a recognizance, and then he was released.
It was already evening when they were released.
Tang Yan rented a car to pick up Lu Ping.
The previous apartment had been exposed and could no longer be lived in.
They went to another house, washed and tidied up.
As usual, Tang Yan slept on the bed in the bedroom and Lu Ping slept.
Living room floor.
Suddenly Tang Yan asked: "Your surname is Mai."
Lu Ping paused and smiled: "How do you know?"
Tang Yan asked back: "What else are you hiding from me?"
Lu Ping said: "The organization asked us to pretend to be husband and wife.
You can just cover it up.
You don't need to know anything else.
It would be unsafe if you knew it.
It would be bad for you and me."
Tang Yan nodded and said no more.
Early the next morning, Lu Ping received instructions from his superiors to leave Shanghai and go to Nanjing for other tasks.
He immediately packed his luggage, shook hands with Tang Yan, called a foreign car and went straight to Zhabei Railway Station.
He was stopped as soon as he entered the rental area.
Several plainclothes officers put him into a car without any explanation and drove away.
Ten minutes later, Lu Ping was sitting in the pre-interrogation room of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

The person who interrogated him was a sturdy man in his thirties, wearing a black woolen tunic suit and a party emblem.
He poured tea and cigarettes for Lu Ping with a smile.
His big hands were rough and strong, and he seemed to be from a working people background.
"Which university did Mr.
Lu Ping graduate from?"
the man asked as if chatting.
Lu Ping said nothing.
"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Xu Tingge.
I studied at Peking University.
During the May Fourth Movement, I also went to the streets and paraded.
After all, we are also revolutionary comrades.
Don't worry, the party and the state have always been loyal to intellectuals.
Gentleman, how about you tell me what you know and release it immediately?"
Lu Ping still didn't speak.
Xu Tingge's mouth was dry when he spoke, but he still couldn't pry his mouth open, so he had to be put into the dungeon and slowly cleaned up.
Chen Zikun had no doubts about Liu Ting's judgment.
If the war was about to break out, the tax police group stationed in Wu Song would definitely bear the brunt.
Although this force was nominally assigned to the Ministry of Finance, the real person in charge was himself.
He sent an order to Xue Bin to be ready at all times.
Beware of provocations by the Japanese army, and do not hesitate to fight back if attacked, so as not to repeat the tragedy of Shenyang.
A large amount of military supplies are stored in Pudong's warehouses.
Barbed wire imported from the United States and Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft guns imported from Switzerland were moved out to arm the frontline troops to the teeth.
As Liu Ting expected, the atmosphere in Shanghai became increasingly tense.
On January 8, Emperor Hirohito of Japan inspected the army troops at the Yoyogi training ground in the suburbs of Tokyo.
After that, he drove back to the palace.
He was assassinated near the Sakurada Gate of the palace.
The bomb accidentally hit the passenger car, killing a driver.
The emperor was safe and sound.
The assassin was arrested, this matter After being reported by the Republic of China Daily, it was strongly protested by the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai Murai Somatsu.
Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng knelt down and apologized to the Japanese side, promising to seal the newspaper and punish the parties involved.
His low profile did not win the understanding of the Japanese side, but became even more arrogant.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Japan is preparing to provoke a conflict in Shanghai, but the Republic of China government still adheres to the policy of non-resistance.
Wang Jingwei sent a secret message to the Shanghai army not to conflict with the Japanese side.
A few days later, several Japanese monks went to provoke a provocation near Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd., a Chinese company that produces towels.
They were reportedly beaten to death by workers.
The Japanese retaliated by storming into Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. and setting fire to it, killing one Chinese prisoner.
Japan first invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces, and then became aggressive in Shanghai.
The anti-Japanese sentiment among the people was at an all-time high and was approaching the breaking point.
The anti-China sentiment among Japanese expatriates living in Hongkou area was also rapidly heated up.
Japanese domestic public opinion was wildly hyped and tried to act out.
Looking like a victim, Japan proposed to immediately disband all anti-Japanese groups, ban anti-Japanese activities, and ensure the safety of Japanese expatriates.
Otherwise, decisive action would be taken.
Originally, according to Japan's expectations, this move would completely anger the Chinese government and thus fire the first shot.
However, the Nationalist government's temper was much more docile than they expected.

Instead of getting angry, they politely accepted the order and gave up.
The Japanese side felt like its punch had missed.
Not only that, Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin also repeatedly ordered the 19th Route Army stationed in Shanghai to withdraw to avoid conflicts with the Japanese army, which would cause unpredictable consequences.
According to the Three Guns Association, the Japanese expatriate groups living in Shanghai, the Residents' Group, the Self-Police Group, and the Local Soldiers' Association, have begun to distribute guns and ammunition.
These Japanese expatriates have lived in Shanghai for decades and are very familiar with the terrain and proficient in Shanghai dialect.
Qizhanlai is an excellent guide and translator, which shows that Japan has made final preparations.
Chen Zikun did not go home for several days and had been active in Wusong, Zhabei.
He met with General Cai Tingkai of the 19th Route Army.
Both sides believed that war would break out in the near future.
"Our Nineteenth Route Army will never lose Shanghai without firing a shot.
We are ready, even if we sacrifice the entire army."
General Cai's Mandarin has a strong Cantonese accent.
Although the words are heroic, Chen Zikun I can't believe it.
If they really fight, maybe they can run faster than anyone else.
In order to relieve Xue Bin's worries, Chen Zikun loaded Mrs.
Xue and his two sons, together with Xinruan, into the concession.
On the way back to the concession from Zhabei, there was a huge crowd of people on the road.
They were all people who moved to the concession with their families.
Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Shanghai Foreign Concession was the only safe place during the war.
It is still the same after decades.
The situation in Shanghai It was so tight that even the most ordinary people felt it.
The car was struggling to move forward in the crowd.
The patrolman guarding the gate was very discerning.
He jumped on the car pedal and used his baton to forcefully clear a path and sent the car across the Waibaidu Bridge.
Shuangxi took out a wad of money to reward the patrolman, and the car continued to move forward.
Refugees were everywhere along the street.
House prices in the concessions skyrocketed, and it was difficult to rent a place for money.
Even a pavilion could be rented for a sky-high price.
Some families were happy and others were sad.
Before the war started, the landlords made a fortune from the national crisis.
When he returned to the villa, he saw sandbags piled up at the door, barbed wire on the wall, and plainclothes guards standing ready.
Chen Zikun scolded: "What are you doing?
The Japanese are coming in.
This can stop them."
The guards explained that this was not to block the Japanese, but to block the refugees.
The streets and alleys were full of people, and there were many sneakers.
Chen Zikun thought for a moment and said, "Buy some grain and open a porridge shed.
It's not easy in the winter."
He hurriedly entered the building and asked the housekeeper to arrange for Xue Bin's family to move in.
After returning to his bedroom to pack his luggage, Yao Yilei asked him: "The situation is tense.
Should we go back to Jiangdong?"
Chen Zikun said: "It is still very safe in the concession.
You can rest assured.
I will go to Nanjing to meet Wang Zhaoming now and report to him the situation in Shanghai."
Yao Yilei said: "Tang Yan came to see you yesterday."

"What's up" "Her man is missing and wants your help."
"The army is in chaos, where can we find it?"
Chen Zikun snorted and took out the woolen general's uniform from the closet.
Yao Yilei quickly took it and patted it, helped him put it on, and said: "Tang Yan waited until very late.
I just left.
I thought she was quite pitiful, so I agreed for you. " Chen Zikun said: "Hu Lai, what do you know?
Her man is a communist.
He was arrested by the police arrest room some time ago.
I asked Cheng Ziqing to come forward to fish him out.
Now he is missing again.
It is possible that he was taken away by the spies.
Can anyone else How can I help you?
Su Qingyan is still in the Central Prison, and I can’t help him, not to mention that he is a genuine Communist. " Yao Yilei said: "Well, this Tang Yan is really hateful.
Isn't she harming us?"
Chen Zikun fastened the Fengji button and arranged his military appearance in the mirror.
Yao Yilei took the command knife and hung it on his waist for him, and suddenly hugged him from behind.
"You won't go to the battlefield," Yao Yilei said quietly.
Chen Zikun felt sad: "I'm already a general, how can I go into battle in person?
Don't worry."
"Who doesn't know that you are tall and fat, and you happen to be fighting a war?
Who said this?"
Yao Yilei hugged her husband tightly.
Chen Zikun smiled: "This is Sun Xinyuan's famous saying, not mine.
Don't worry, I will be fine."
They called Hongqiao Airport to arrange a special flight, asked Shuangxi to prepare a car, and Liu Ting also prepared the reporting materials.
Chen Zikun went downstairs in military uniform, and the guards saluted in the hall.
The Chen Mansion actually felt a bit desolate. meaning.
She went out to board the car and was about to leave when she suddenly saw Tang Yan negotiating with the guards at the door.
Liu Ting said, "Do you want to wait a moment?"
Chen Zikun looked at his watch.
He was flying to Nanjing now, just in time to meet the Executive Director before getting off work.
If it was later, it would be tomorrow, so he said: "Drive."
The big iron door slowly opened, and the Mercedes bulletproof car with the general's flag drove out, escorted by three motorcycles.
Tang Yan saw Chen Zikun sitting upright in the car, and hurriedly waved to him.
Chen Zikun didn't look away, as if Without noticing her, the car drove away at full speed.
Tang Yan's hand froze in mid-air, and the guards at the door looked at her expressionlessly.
She smiled helplessly, wrapped her coat tightly and left slowly, alone like a lone tiger
