Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

When the people saw that Liu Zong's withdrawals had not been confiscated, they rushed to the counter like crazy.

Banknotes are not insured, real currency is safer.

As word of mouth spread, more and more people came to withdraw money!

Reporter Wang Rui has been following Liu Zong since he left!

In the past, it would have been very difficult for rickshaws to keep up with trucks, but today there were so many people marching everywhere that the trucks couldn't move fast at all!

After stopping and starting for more than an hour, Liu Zong's convoy drove into a Western-style villa.

Wang Rui picked up the camera and took a few photos of the gate.

After that, he walked around the villa!

Suddenly, he heard two of Liu Zong's followers chatting in a low voice in the corner!

"Our boss is really rich this time, 1400 million yuan, I can't even imagine it!"

Another person snorted coldly and shouted,

"Only a small portion of this money belongs to our boss!"

"what?"

"What? I'm telling you, the big one belongs to Mr. Thomson. The stone yesterday was deliberately placed there by that white devil. His purpose was to get everyone to sell off their banknotes so that he could buy them at a low price!"

"Ah! These damn foreigners are so evil!"

"It's not just bad, it's completely unscrupulous!"

"How did you know?"

"How should I know? You're the only one in the entire fleet who doesn't know! That You Wu from Baxian Lane on Hanyuan Road, and Niu Lu from Hehua Lane, both helped Jardine Matheson buy banknotes at a low price yesterday!"

"No, you just said that the big head belongs to Thomson, so why is it Jardine Matheson now? Isn't Jardine Matheson owned by Thomson?"

"Thomson is just a shareholder of Jardine Matheson. Yesterday, Thomson helped Jardine Matheson buy banknotes at a low price, but then he felt the profit was too great and started buying them himself! What a shame! If I had known earlier, I would have bought some too, at a 90% discount!"

"Let's go out for a walk later. If there are still people who don't know the news, we can take advantage of it!"

The two of them chuckled.

Outside the courtyard wall, Wang Rui was burning with anger.

Just now at Jardine Matheson, he felt very strange. It seemed that Liu Zong was wholeheartedly promoting Jardine Matheson!

That's it!

How dare Thomson plunder the people's wealth like this! He treats the people of Shanghai like pigs and sheep!

I want to expose him!

Out of professional rigor, he planned to go to Baxian Lane and Hehua Lane to look for You Wu and Niu Lu. Since it involved a foreign company, there must be real evidence!

Inside the villa, the bodyguard hiding in a big tree whistled as soon as he saw Wang Rui leaving!

Liu Zong heard this and shouted,

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Pack up and leave the Magic City immediately. The boss has already made arrangements for us!"

"Yes!"

In just half an hour, the villa was empty!

……

Time went back to seven o'clock. Hu Zhenhua observed for a long time. After confirming that Wang Cuicui had gone to the morning market to pick up antiques again, he carefully returned to the room.

No one knew about his return this time except Guo Dachong.

Mr. Li's words were like a thorn stuck in Lao Hu's throat.

What if the person next to you is a secret service agent?

Scenes from the past flashed through Hu Zhenhua's mind: He was caught that day and took the blame. In order to obtain intelligence, the Magic City Station arrested Wang Cuicui. How did she leave the Secret Service later?

A weak woman wants to leave that devil's den?

She has always been very afraid of married life. Until now, Lao Hu has not consummated their marriage. Could it be that she was treated unfairly in the Secret Service?

Hu Zhenhua took a deep breath and began to search the room.

If he is a spy, he will definitely leave clues!

Wardrobe, bathroom, dressing table, under the bed...

Suddenly, a flyer fell from the bottom of the drawer. Hu Zhenhua quickly lay on the floor and looked up to check!

There was a small gap there, with a lot of papers stuffed in it!

Hu Zhenhua took it out carefully!

When he saw the content above, his eyes widened!

There are about a dozen copies in total, most of which are promotional pages covering a wide range of content.

Some criticize the capitalists' exploitation of workers.

Some describe a better life in the future.

Some tell of the misery of dock workers.

Some criticized corrupt officials.

Some criticized the various illegalities of imperialism in China and the weakness and incompetence of the Kuomintang government!

Another point is to promote communism.

Hu Zhenhua suddenly felt extremely relaxed. He fell to the floor and laughed foolishly!

Cuicui is also a progressive person!

Hu Zhenhua always thought that Wang Cuicui was only interested in antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Unexpectedly, under her silly appearance, she also hid a patriotic heart.

As for saying that she is a spy over there, don't be ridiculous.

The spies would hide these things in their homes.

Based on these brochures, Lao Hu guessed that Wang Cuicui must have come into contact with an underground organization and was in the "brainwashing" stage!

Brainwashing is not scary. Hasn’t Lao Hu himself been brainwashed for more than 30 years?

He carefully put the flyer back to its place, got up and went out.

This is not enough. Hu Zhenhua wants to go to the place where they first met and ask the lady for clarification!

Half an hour later, in the same cafe, Hu Zhenhua stared out the window through the glass.

On that day, Wang Cuicui was harassed by several shrews on the opposite side!

Hu Zhenhua sat there for the entire morning!

It wasn't until lunch time that he saw the lady!

At the entrance of the alley, Hu Zhenhua stopped the lady's way. Wearing a mask, he asked coldly,

"Madam, I have a small question for you!"

The lady was very alert and wanted to run away, but her retreat was blocked by Qu Xiaodou.

Hu Zhenhua's cold voice sounded again.

"If you dare to shout, I will shoot you to death!"

When the lady saw the pistol, her legs went limp with fear, and she collapsed to the ground, stammering,

"Don't...don't...shoot!"

Hu Zhenhua then put away his pistol, squatted in front of her, and took out a bag of silver dollars and gave it to her.

"As long as you answer my questions truthfully, not only will everything be fine, but all the money will be yours!"

The lady didn't know where she got the strength from, she weighed her purse, her mouth stretched to her ears, and she was no longer nervous.

"I will answer truthfully!"

"A dozen days ago, you hired a laundrywoman. Who introduced her to you?"

When the lady heard this, she immediately jumped up and cursed in a sharp voice,

"You said that little bitch is really a vixen..."

Hu Zhenhua shouted,

"Shut up, don't say anything irrelevant, and answer my question!"

The lady was frightened and trembled a little, and said quickly,

“I recruited them on the street!”

"Nonsense! When you, a wealthy family, hire a servant, you want to know their background. How could you just hire someone from outside?"

Hu Zhenhua saw the lady's eyes evading and shouted,

"Do you think I don't dare to kill anyone?"

"No, no, no, I said!"

Seeing her hesitate again, Hu Zhenhua shouted,

"Say it!"

The lady was frightened by this, and spilled all the beans.

"That little bitch was brought back by my husband. He said the bureau arranged for her to stay at my house. I know exactly what kind of person she is. I saw her trying to sneak into her room several times. In the end, it was Mrs. Gu who reminded me, and I finally chased her away!"

Hu Zhenhua pondered for a moment and asked,

"Where does your husband work?"

"Secret Service!"

Hu Zhenhua opened his mouth.

"What's your husband's name?"

"His name is Mu Pin!"

Hu Zhenhua seemed to have some impression, but couldn't remember it!

"You chased the washerwoman away, and your husband didn't give you any trouble?"

"Of course not! That heartless guy slapped me. I gave birth to his children, and he hit me for a wild flower!"

Hu Zhenhua saw that she was about to wail, and immediately shouted,

"Shut up!"

After she calmed down, Lao Hu continued to ask,

"Perhaps the laundrywoman was really arranged by the bureau. If you drive her away, you will ruin the bureau's mission!"

The lady quickly shook her head.

"Absolutely not. That heartless guy just wanted to find her because she was young and pretty. If it was a mission from the bureau, wouldn't he go out and look for her?"

Hu Zhenhua pinched his chin and thought for a while, then asked,

"Did your master succeed?"

"Impossible! I was watching so closely!"

Old Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter is very clear. Mu Pin has set his sights on Wang Cuicui and tricked her back home to be a servant. His intentions were bad, but his plan was ruined by the tigress.

At this moment, Hu Zhenhua felt that the lady was not so annoying anymore!

After thinking for a moment, Lao Hu threw another bag of dollars to the lady and said,

"Forget about what happened today, otherwise, a bullet might just fly by on the roadside!"

The lady received dozens of dollars and was very happy. I don't know if she listened to it or not, she just nodded.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely forget it completely!"

As soon as Hu Zhenhua returned to the car, he couldn't wait to give an order: Tie up that bastard Mu Pin and bring him to me!

Soon, he received news that Mu Pin was killed in yesterday's operation!

What a coincidence?

It seems that the answer still lies with Mr. Li!

In the secret room on the top floor of the Chinachem Hotel, Hu Zhenhua shouted,

"Splash him to wake him up!"

After drinking a few scoops of cold water, Mr. Li slowly regained consciousness. He weakly shouted,

"water!"

Seeing Hu Zhenhua nod, Qu Xiaodou gave him some!

With the replenishment of water, Mr. Li felt much better. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Hu, am I in the Magic City?"

Qu Xiaodou immediately opened the curtains.

When Mr. Li saw the scenery outside, a smile appeared on his face and he said lightly,

"Now, the war must have begun?"

"That's right! Early this morning, the People's Liberation Army crossed the river in large numbers!"

Mr. Li seemed uninterested in this topic and said with a smile,

"Mr. Hu, I can tell you the answer right now. I'm not sure if your meeting with your wife was a coincidence, but my intuition tells me that it was a coincidence!"

Hu Zhenhua was furious and wanted to rush up and slap him!

"You better give me a perfect fucking explanation!"

Mr. Li's tone remained calm.

"Some things, if you see them too much, you'll realize there's nothing mysterious about them. I've worked in the Secret Service before, and I know Director Wang very well. He's best at leaving things unsettled. As long as he thinks someone is valuable, he'll casually place some pieces on them. It might be a few years, or even a dozen years, until the valuable person matures, and then these pieces will be activated."

Mr. Li stared into Hu Zhenhua's eyes.

"It turns out that you are very valuable!"

Hu Zhenhua calmed down a bit and shouted,

"How do you know she's my wife?"

"I didn't say it was your wife, but your wife is the most unexpected person. This is in line with Director Wang's style!"
