The Bravest

Lin Jie didn't care how Liu Ruyan arranged it, and he didn't have time to give instructions. Everything was handled according to the real situation, and he simply let it go, just to train Liu Ruyan. Anyway, he had already told her not to shoot under any circumstances unless he was in danger.

As a professor with high IQ, Lao Zhou calculated the time given to Lin Jie very strictly. The condition of not bringing anyone with him restricted Lin Jie's people from driving, and the location he chose was just enough to walk in eight or nine minutes at a brisk pace, leaving only one or two minutes of wiggle room, so there was no time to make any arrangements.

Liu Ruyan and her team acted quickly enough, rushing to the vicinity of the barber shop and setting up long-distance surveillance before Lin Jie showed up. Their goal was not to capture anyone, but to wait for Lin Jie to meet the other party and then track him.

But when Lin Jie arrived at the last minute and was carefully observing from the side of the barber shop entrance, a car suddenly stopped beside him.

"Get in the car. If you don't get in within three seconds, I'll be leaving. One, two, three." Lao Zhou started the car without any hesitation.

When Lao Zhou counted to two, Lin Jie reached out to pull the back door, but it didn't move. The car started and hadn't accelerated yet. Lin Jie secretly made a gesture, then quickly moved to open the passenger door and sat in.

"Old Zhou, you're going to kill my men like this." Lin Jie saw through Old Zhou's plan and couldn't help but complain with a smile.

"Haha, I'm helping you educate them. Don't think that the Japanese tricks you taught are powerful. I will let your guys see how powerful our Military Control Commission is. Don't be disobedient when you return to the team."

Lao Zhou, a member of Lin Jie's inspection team, had already been assigned to the Military Control Commission. After the victory, this group of people would join the Military Control Commission to clear themselves of their traitorous identities. This was a deal between Lin Jie and Lao Zhou, and of course Lao Zhou must have consulted with Boss Dai.

However, for the sake of confidentiality, nothing will be recorded in writing. Lin Jie will have to wait until he deems the time appropriate before asking Lao Zhou to report the list of personnel, including the letter of appointment of Lin Jie's family, and Lin Jie must get it on the eve of the Japanese surrender.

It's not that Lin Jie is not afraid of being exposed, but Lin Jie only knows the general trend. It's impossible for Lin Jie to know what kind of chaos Shanghai will be after the Japanese surrender, and history will not record some insignificant little things. Lin Jie is very afraid that he will be treated as a traitor, which is more unfair than death.

Lao Zhou wanted to teach Lin Jie's men a lesson, so of course he took Lin Jie away right under their noses.

However, Liu Ruyan and Zhao Bin were no pushovers. Although they might have been discovered by Lao Zhou, they also had a backup plan. Before Lao Zhou's car had driven far, he found three cars of different models appearing alternately, and one of them had even quickly overtaken and was driving forward.

"Haha, not bad. Although it's a bit crude, it's not bad to be able to plan and organize it in such a short time."

"That's right. You don't even look at who taught you this. If it were true, you would be my captive now." Lin Jie boasted proudly.

"Haha, if you really did that, would you arrest him?" Lao Zhou replied calmly.

"I can't, and neither can Gangcun. I'm not the little scoundrel from No. 76. Their behavior is low-level, but it's also because you didn't expect Li Shiqun's men to be so brutal, so the military suffered too much loss in the early stage."

"Xiao Jie, what you said is only one aspect. More importantly, the actual situation at that time was that the Military Control Commission had to use thunder-like means to deter, otherwise more fence-sitters would turn to the Japanese. Do you understand?" Lao Zhou corrected Lin Jie seriously.

"You mean you did it knowing it was impossible?"

"Yes, in the Japanese-occupied areas, such high-frequency attacks are certainly not advisable, but it is necessary to use huge sacrifices to inspire the people's determination to resist Japan. Xiaojie, it's not that Boss Dai is cruel. If the troops withdraw and the Military Control Commission does not take action, our military force will no longer exist in the entire southeast region. Can you imagine, will the people still have confidence? So the comrades who sacrificed their lives died for a good cause."

"Old Zhou, I understand. Now that I think about it, the situation wasn't that bad at the time. The hateful thing is Chen Gongshu. He ignored our repeated warnings. Otherwise, Shanghai Station wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. The price was too high."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. There is a junction ahead. Can your men keep up?"

"Let's give it a try!" Lin Jie was full of confidence.

"I'll show you how I get rid of them." As Lao Zhou said this, the car had already crossed the intersection. With the help of the houses next to it blocking the view of the vehicle for a short period of time, it suddenly stopped and reversed into a house. Lao Zhou quickly got out of the car and closed the door.

"Get out of the car, quickly." Lao Zhou ordered Lin Jie.

"It's no use, Lao Zhou. Your car is gone. My people will search the area in less than two minutes, and you will still be tracked. There is no way you can get away from being tracked if you leave on foot."

As Lin Jie spoke, he cooperated with Lao Zhou. He also wanted to see what Liu Ruyan and the others were capable of.

"Haha, who said to leave on foot? I caught up with you. I have a car ready on the back street. You can review the situation with them when you get back. Bye."

Lao Zhou took Lin Jie out through the back door, crossed a small alley, got into a car on the side of the road, and drove away.

Two minutes later, Liu Ruyan and his men set up surveillance around the place where Lao Zhou disappeared, but Lao Zhou and He Linjie had already disappeared.

"Okay, this scene is almost over. Xiaojie, tell me how the talks in Gang Village went." Old Zhou drove around the street casually and asked about business.

Lin Jie repeated the conversation with Gangcun.

"Well, that should be no problem. Director Mao has already contacted their families through diplomatic means according to your list, and they have agreed to cooperate. However, the initial funds will be provided by the Military Control Commission, so the funds are not a problem, but it will take time to transport them. Can you pay for it first? Let's get started first to avoid any more trouble later."

"Okay, I've prepared ten gold bars as a token of my goodwill. I'll let Gangcun take the bait only after seeing the meat. But you have to pay me back later. My welfare home has too much expenses, and insufficient funds will cause problems."

"Yes, Xiaojie, you are still too soft-hearted. If the welfare home hadn't held you back, you could have gone further and played a greater role."

Lao Zhou verbally blamed Lin Jie for being ignorant of the overall situation, but the look he gave Lin Jie was full of admiration. Without a sincere heart, how could he have thrown himself into the fight against the Japanese without hesitation?

"Haha, Lao Zhou, I helped more than three or four hundred orphans survive, and that's enough. Now I'm the big brother." Lin Jie didn't care about Lao Zhou's reproach at all, and boasted about his power proudly.

"Okay, get off the car in front and go back, so that your guys won't worry." In fact, their meeting was mainly for acting, creating a real transaction scene for Gangcun's people in the dark, so as not to arouse Gangcun's suspicion. Exchanging information was secondary.

"Wait a moment, business talks can't be done so quickly." Lin Jie pays a lot of attention to details, and some details may be flaws at any time.

"Xiao Jie, what is Liu Sheng doing?" Lao Zhou suddenly asked a strange question.

"I didn't do anything. I just prepared some safe houses and other escape routes." Lin Jie answered calmly, but his heart was already filled with huge waves.
