Chapter 1038 A Narrow Escape

Ma Yunfei and Gao Han were fast, but they couldn't outrun a telephone.

Shanghai at that time was a strategic location painstakingly cultivated by the Japanese invaders, and a major rear area for the occupied areas of the Central China Expeditionary Army.

The Japanese deployed a considerable defensive force here.

A few phone calls were made, and the entire police force and local thugs in Shanghai were mobilized.

Subsequently, countless Japanese military police and defense troops also took to the streets.

They began setting up checkpoints at key intersections in batches.

They conducted thorough searches of passersby. People driving cars were especially targeted; if they couldn't produce valid identification, they would be severely beaten or even taken away.

This makes it difficult for Ma Yunfei and his group to evacuate safely.

Taking advantage of their first-mover advantage, they bypassed several checkpoints, but were eventually stopped at the bridge intersection between the Japanese concession and the Chinese-controlled area.

"How to do?"

"Should we charge through?"

He parked the car on the edge of the road, turned off the headlights, and looked at the bridge checkpoint not far away. Ma Yunfei's expression was slightly solemn as he asked Gao Han for his opinion.

"No!"

“Even if the two of us manage to break through this checkpoint, it will be difficult to escape the Japanese pursuers.”

"We must think of other solutions." How serious is the situation right now?

The massive search had barely begun when the entire city of Shanghai was already on edge. If they continued to wait, the search efforts would be intensified, inevitably shrinking their area of ​​operation to the extreme.

By then, they would have no chance to find refuge in the Japanese concession.

"There is a way."

"only……."

Ma Yunfei hesitated. He clearly had his own plans, but he was unwilling to do so.

"what?"

Gao Han, unaware of the details, looked at Ma Yunfei with slight surprise.

"Just wait."

"If we still can't find a way to leave this place in ten minutes, then we'll resort to that last resort." Ma Yunfei shook his head, not giving a direct response to Gao Han.

With a flick of his wrist, he steered the car toward another exit.

Upon reaching the next exit, however, one saw even more guards than at the previous exit, along with a number of dark-skinned police officers.

The surrounding streets were also frequented by a number of Green Gang thugs and hooligans.

Seeing this, Ma Yunfei and Gao Han's expressions grew even more grave.

They are all highly skilled in action.

They also fought and clashed with the Japanese invaders on several occasions.

They were well aware of the immense power the Japanese could wield in Shanghai if they were to get serious.

If things continue like this, there will only be one outcome.

That means being arrested. There's no chance of survival.

At the crucial moment, Gao Han turned to look at Ma Yunfei, wanting to know what other tricks Ma Yunfei was up to.

To be able to find a way out in this perilous situation.

Ma Yunfei shook his head bitterly.

"It's my fault!"

"We dare not be greedy for credit or act rashly!"

With his last glimmer of hope shattered, Ma Yunfei no longer hesitated or delayed.

He reached into his pocket, took out a firework, lit it with a match, and placed it directly at the roadside intersection.

Once the fireworks and firecrackers had risen into the sky and exploded, Ma Yunfei did not hesitate to turn the car around and drive it back to the first checkpoint bridge.

At the same time, Gao Han had already figured everything out. She was inherently intelligent.

Seeing Ma Yunfei's change in expression and his actions, Gao Han could easily understand the details.

"Military Intelligence Bureau?"

"Was it Brother Ye who arranged an escape route for us in advance?"

Gao Han opened his mouth and asked.

"Ok!"

“His plans were meticulous; he had foreseen this situation from the very beginning of the execution of the plan.”

"so……."

"So, he arranged for assassins to sacrifice other people's lives to protect our safety?"

Gao Han's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Of course, she knew that Ye Shaohong's arrangement was not wrong at all.

After all, the most important duty of intelligence personnel is to gather intelligence and safely send it back to the rear.

life?

that's not important.

Sometimes, it is worth sacrificing many lives for a piece of extremely important intelligence.

But Gao Han still found it hard to accept.

She didn't think Ye Shaohong was cold-hearted or too ruthless.

Instead, she felt ashamed that she was making others risk their lives to ensure her and Ma Yunfei's safety.

Don't blame him!

"He had no choice but to do this. You and I are both intelligence agents; we should know that for us, intelligence is paramount!"

"What's more... he's a section chief in the Military Intelligence Bureau!"

While driving, Ma Yunfei glanced at Gao Han and, unusually, said a good word for Ye Shaohong.

"I see."

Gao Han looked slightly disappointed and sighed softly.

Just then, gunshots suddenly came from the direction they had just left.

It was very urgent.

It's also very messy.

"Yunfei, what do you mean by this time...?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either. All I know is that someone will definitely die."

After a brief exchange, the conversation between the two people in the car instantly ceased. Neither of them spoke again, but instead silently stared ahead.

As the car slowly moved forward, they finally arrived at the bridge checkpoint for exiting the country.

The situation was pretty much as expected.

The gunshots from afar caused a brief moment of panic among the guards at the bridge checkpoint.

Then, at the Jianguan checkpoint, a squad of Japanese soldiers, led by a lieutenant, jumped directly onto the troop transport truck next to them.

They rushed towards the direction from which the gunshots came.

Even the dark-skinned police officers guarding the place, as well as many of the Green Gang thugs scattered on the street, followed suit.

Seeing this, Ma Yunfei no longer hesitated.

He immediately stepped on the gas, accelerating the car and arriving directly at the entrance to the bridge checkpoint.

After queuing, I successfully arrived in front of the inspectors.

I handed over my ID and waited for the search; everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Just as Ma Yunfei was letting out a long sigh of relief after their car inspection was completed and the guards waved them through, a phone rang at the checkpoint on one side of the bridge. The dark-skinned policeman in charge of checking Ma Yunfei's vehicle immediately frowned, about to direct his men to stop them.

Then answer the phone.

At the crucial moment, Ma Yunfei also demonstrated his wisdom and quick wit as the "Prince of a Thousand Faces," first grabbing the man's arm.

He said a lot of nice things.

Then he reached into his pocket, took out more than a dozen silver dollars, and, taking advantage of a brief moment when no one was watching, stuffed them directly into the hand of the dark-skinned policeman.

This finally brought a slight smile to the dark-skinned policeman's face.

He looked at Ma Yunfei with satisfaction before waving his arm again, signaling his colleagues who were in charge of the gate to let Ma Yunfei and his group pass.

The car finally slowly drove out of the Japanese concession.

We have entered the Chinese-controlled area...
