Even the 'bodyguard' was a little skeptical that this order was issued by the wrong person, and in his opinion, it would be much more convenient for the 'young master' Li Yixin to carry out this order.
First of all, the cover identity of the 'bodyguard' is a rickshaw driver at the bottom of the society, which is a very disadvantageous condition for the execution of this order.
Imagine that in Stone Town, Wen Mian is a high-ranking government official, or the highest-ranking official in the puppet government, such a person has a special car and accompanying guards in and out on weekdays, and he doesn't use a rickshaw at all, so he can't have a chance to contact Wen Mian.
Even if Wen Mian gave a secret contact information, but what about Wen Mian's accompanying guards?
Once he came into contact with Wen Mian, it was difficult to guarantee that the people around Wen Mian would not find out, and no one dared to guarantee that the Japanese did not plant eyes and ears around Wen Mian.
The risk is too great, and the 'bodyguard' even has a feeling that Deputy Director Ye is trying to find a way to send him to death.
On the other hand, Li Yixin is different, because Li Yixin's position in Stone Town is also very high, and he can find all kinds of reasonable excuses to contact Wen Mian at any time, and it is an opportunity to contact him directly alone.
Secondly, what is Wen Mian's real intention in secretly contacting the Central Unification side?
Is it really a change of heart and want to work for Chongqing?
You must know that Wen Mian was a person who was immediately sent to Shicheng by Wang's puppet government after the Japanese occupied Stone Town and announced himself as the provincial chairman, so he can basically be classified as a hardcore traitor.
Aren't people like this afraid that Chongqing will settle accounts with him after the autumn?
Even if he is secretly working for Chongqing now, the 'bodyguard' believes that Wen Mian will also be worried that if the Chongqing side turns around after the defeat of the Japanese, he may even be killed.
You must know that the Chongqing side can pretend to agree now, and then turn its face and deny people in the future, and it is difficult to say whether this kind of thing will happen.
The 'bodyguard' thought a lot and deeply, and what he couldn't figure out the most was why Deputy Director Ye would give him such an important task instead of Li Yixin.
Could it be because Li Yixin is more valuable to Deputy Director Ye that he will be asked to carry out this task?
In case Wen Mian's sincerity in cooperating with the Central Unification is insufficient, then if he sacrifices him and Li Yixin to choose, he guesses that Deputy Director Ye will definitely choose to protect Li Yixin and sacrifice him.
The speculation was completely malicious, but the 'bodyguards' did not think that such a possibility did not exist, which disturbed him.
After thinking about it, he decided to test Deputy Director Ye's true thoughts.
So he turned on the radio again, and at the risk of being reprimanded, he sent a message to Deputy Director Ye asking for instructions, with only one meaning, in view of his current cover identity in Stone Town, it was suggested that the 'young master' should carry out this order.
He immediately turned off the radio again, he knew that Deputy Director Ye must have gone home tonight, and if he wanted to call back, he would have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Sure enough, early the next morning, after Deputy Director Ye went to work, he saw the message sent back by the 'bodyguard', and he couldn't help but be furious after he translated it himself.
Because the 'bodyguard' actually sent a telegram refusing to carry out the order, although the tone was euphemistic, but the actual meaning was disobedience, this was the first time the 'bodyguard' did this, it was simply contempt for his authority.
Therefore, Deputy Director Ye immediately redrafted a telegram of reprimand, asking the Communications Department to send a report to the radio station of the 'bodyguards' every half hour, strictly ordering the 'bodyguards' to carry out their tasks and not to disobey orders.
The 'bodyguard' received this reprimand telegram after the radio station was turned on at night, and he was even more convinced that in Deputy Director Ye's mind, his importance might not be comparable to Li Yixin's at all.
In desperation, he could only follow the secret contact information sent by Deputy Director Ye last night and prepare to meet Wen Mian secretly.
It was precisely because of this episode that the 'bodyguard' was full of vigilance about the first meeting with Wen Mian, for fear that this meeting would be a trap jointly designed by the Japanese and Wen Mian, so he made some necessary preparations.
The next day, the 'bodyguard' changed his outfit and went out dressed as an ordinary person.
The Stone Town Branch of the "Declaration" issued a missing person notice, and the content was the content provided by Wen Mian sent by Deputy Director Ye, which told Wen Mian that the Central Committee was willing to contact him, and the time of the meeting was at noon on the third day after the publication of the missing person notice, and the location was in Sanqing Garden, the most famous theater in Stone Town.
Sanqingyuan is on a bustling street, and people and cars come and go at the door, especially at noon.
The 'bodyguard' carefully analyzed the contact information given by Wen Mian, and thought that he had to test Wen Mian to see if Wen Mian did not really cooperate with Zhongtong but deliberately set a trap to capture Zhongtong's sleeper agents.
And this is the most unnoticeable place for him to haunt as a rickshaw driver, because there are a lot of people who come to Sanqingyuan to listen to the play, not only dignitaries, but also people with a little spare money also like to come here to listen to the play.
Therefore, many rickshaw drivers like to use this place as a place to solicit business, and many rickshaw drivers come and wait at the gate of Sanqing Garden every day to pull business.
On the appointed day, the 'bodyguard' pulled the rickshaw and came to the gate of Sanqingyuan early to wait, he didn't plan to meet Wen Mian today, but wanted to observe whether Wen Mian was playing ghosts.
After a morning of squatting, the 'bodyguard' didn't notice anything unusual, at least he didn't see any characters wandering around the Sanqing Garden and outside the gate.
But he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and waited until the appointed time at noon, and sure enough, the car Wen Mian was riding in came to the gate of Sanqingyuan on time surrounded by two cars in front and behind.
Wen Mian brought a large number of accompanying guards, these people were the first to get out of the car, and some of them turned their backs to Wen Mian's car and surrounded the city, looking around vigilantly.
The other part of the people swaggered into the Sanqing Garden to check the good citizen certificates of all the people who watched the theater in the theater, and searched a box that had been reserved by Wen Mian.
After no problem was found, someone came out to report to Wen Mian, who was sitting in the car, and then Wen Mian got out of the car, carrying a civilized stick and walking into Sanqing Garden under the escort of the accompanying guards.
Outside the door, there were only three or four guards guarding the car with box guns.
All this was seen by the 'bodyguard' who was squatting on the empty rickshaw lever in the corner outside the gate of Sanqingyuan, and he did not move, but quietly observed the movement outside the door of the theater.
And the high-profile admission of Wen Mian and his accompanying guards made many people dare not enter the theater to watch the play again, because judging from this kind of battle, there are big people coming to Sanqingyuan today, and if ordinary people go in to listen to the play, they will be searched and interrogated, and no one wants to go in to watch the play under such circumstances.
