Chapter 38: Planning Begins
Anle Dance Hall, basement.
This basement was previously used by Shen Jiuling's apprentice to hide money, and now it has become a safe house for Song Yu.
There was an internal telephone in the room that could be used to call his office directly.
Song Yu came downstairs just after receiving a call from Cuilan.
"Why did you come here so suddenly? What happened?" Song Yu asked, frowning.
Cuilan was an assistant assigned to him by the organization, to help him with his work.
The two had been together for about six months, and Cuilan gave him the impression of being quite steady and reliable.
After Shen Yi arrived in Jinling, Song Yu instructed Cuilan to remain vigilant and simply do her work normally every day.
"Brother Song, Young Master Shen just made a phone call..."
Cuilan told Song Yu what had just happened at home, and he frowned deeply after listening.
He wondered to himself: Could it be that Shen Yi deliberately called Cuilan to hear?
He thought about it and then felt it was unlikely.
Shen Yi only goes home at night, and he has very little contact with either him or Cuilan.
Therefore, Shen Yi could not possibly know their identities, so how could he have been tricked?
Moreover, the phone call was quite normal; most of the conversation revolved around antiques, with only the mention of the Communist Party at the end suggesting it was a spontaneous remark.
Regardless, Song Yu needed to confirm whether there were any Red Party members in the Central Hospital.
His mission in Nanjing was to organize and contact some comrades who had lost contact, and to build a small intelligence network.
In 1934, due to betrayal by a traitor, the underground Communist Party in Nanjing suffered severe damage, a large number of party members were arrested, and many comrades went missing and went into silence.
Six months ago, Shen Jiuling's apprentice died unexpectedly, and Song Yu was sent to handle the matter. The organization then assigned him this task.
However, he has gained very little in the past six months and has not been able to contact many of his comrades, so he was very excited when he learned that there was a member of the Communist Party at the Central Hospital.
"Cuilan, you did a great job. I will find out as soon as possible whether there are any of our comrades in the Central Hospital," Song Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Cuilan smiled happily; she had finally been able to help in some way.
She wasn't a professional intelligence agent to begin with, and even after receiving some training, she could only serve as an assistant.
She was genuinely happy to be able to help Song Yu, and she decided that she would stay up later at home in the future, so that she might be able to hear some useful information from Shen Yi.
"Cuilan, you should go home quickly, lest Shen Yi find out you're not home."
"Yes."
. . . . . .
Day two.
Shen Yi did not choose to go directly to the Special Agent's Office, but instead drove to Wanli Casino and found Sun Mazi.
Sun Mazi looked at Shen Yi, who had suddenly arrived, and wondered why the other party had suddenly sought him out. He asked ingratiatingly:
"Young master, what are your orders?"
"Go to the Central Hospital and find Li Tan. Ask him to buy some medicine," Shen Yi said.
Shen Yi was worried that even if Song Yu and the others were rescued, they might not have access to medicine to treat the severely injured Red Party member.
After all, many medicines are now strictly regulated, so it can be quite troublesome to buy them immediately.
Moreover, after the operation is over, the secret service will definitely conduct a city-wide search, making it even more difficult to buy medicine.
Although he had obtained some medicine from Li Tan before, it wasn't a complete set.
Li Tan happened to be the attending physician of that Red Party member. Given his character, he must have taken a lot of things from it, which could be used to treat that Red Party member effectively.
Although Sun Mazi didn't understand why Shen Yi wanted the medicine before the agreed time, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He nodded quickly and then led his men to the Central Hospital.
Shen Yi waited inside the gambling den.
Nearly an hour later, Sun Mazi returned with the medicine.
He hadn't expected Li Tan to have so many medicines this time. Less than ten days had passed, and he thought the other party had only stolen a little.
Luckily, he brought enough money, otherwise he might have been looked down upon by the other party.
Sun Mazi thought to himself that these doctors were truly heartless, and then handed the box to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi opened the box and took a look inside. The medicines inside were complete, and he nodded in satisfaction.
He then returned to his car and took out another box containing the medicine he had received from Li Tan last time.
The medicines this time were probably specifically for treating that Red Party member. To prevent Song Yu from becoming suspicious, Shen Yi had to mix in some other medicines.
After getting ready, Shen Yi drove to the Fuchang Hotel.
. . . . . .
Anle Dance Hall, Room 306.
Song Yu frowned, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to rescue that comrade.
Last night, after Cuilan left, he urgently contacted a comrade who was a nurse at the Central Hospital.
In the morning, he received information from the nurse that there were indeed several suspicious individuals guarding the second floor of the hospital.
At this point, he was certain that the information Cuilan had heard from Shen Yi yesterday was true.
One of their comrades was indeed captured by the Secret Service!
Rescue is definitely necessary, but how to carry out the rescue is the question.
He had to rescue him as soon as possible while he was still in the hospital, otherwise there would be no way to save him once he was in the hands of the secret service!
Song Yu was thinking when the phone suddenly rang, startling him.
He picked up the phone and answered it.
"Feed?"
"Oh, it's Boss Liu. What can I do for you?"
"Yes, that's right, he is my young master."
"Okay, thank you so much, Boss Liu. I'll treat you to drinks later."
Song Yu then hung up the phone, feeling somewhat excited.
I just received a call from Mr. Liu, the owner of Fuchang Restaurant, asking if Shen Yi is his nephew.
Song Yu then learned that Shen Yi was planning to book an entire floor of the Fuchang Hotel for dinner that evening.
Since all the private rooms on every floor of the Fuchang Hotel are booked for tonight, it's a bit difficult to book an entire floor.
So Shen Yi told Boss Liu that his uncle was Song Yu from Anle Dance Hall, which led to this phone call.
With Song Yu's connections, booking an entire floor shouldn't be too difficult.
Song Yu was excited because he saw an opportunity for rescue.
Shen Yi's decision to book an entire floor indicates that he is treating a large number of people to dinner today, which will inevitably attract many spies of all ranks.
The hospital's defenses might be weakened, making it the perfect time for him to make a rescue!
He then got dressed and left the office.
. . . . . .
On the other side, Shen Yi had just left the Fuchang Hotel and went to the department store to buy some cosmetics and props.
In his previous life, many criminal suspects would disguise themselves. If Shen Yi wanted to accurately depict their original appearance, he also needed to have a certain understanding of makeup techniques.
Although cosmetics are not as diverse as they are in later generations, Shen Yi can still make himself unrecognizable.
After he finished his makeup, he went to a black market.
Previously, Song Yu had introduced Shen Jiuling's business in Jinling to Shen Yi, and Shen Yi knew that there was a shop in this black market that was directly managed by Song Yu.
He then went inside, pretended to be a normal seller, and after some haggling, sold the box of medicine.
At this point, Shen Yineng's task was basically complete; now it was up to Song Yu to successfully rescue that comrade.
