The next morning.

"Old Lu, call your brother and sister to have a meal together at night. Your sister-in-law cooks and comes to the house?"

"Brother Tang, it's really not good tonight. I've agreed with Meimei that I've watched a movie after dinner tonight. I haven't been with her for a long time!" Lu Xiyan said without thinking.

"Is that so? This is really a coincidence." Tang Jin's somewhat disappointed voice came.

"Brother Tang, will it be better to go another day?" Lu Xiyan didn't know what Tang Jin was thinking, but he refused to visit Tang Jin's house at this time, for fear that he would think more.

Why!

On the other end of the phone, Tang Jin slowly put down the phone.

"What did he say?" Cao Bin asked. Tang Jin made this call and it was indeed a test. Let's see how Lu Xiyan would react.

"He said he had an appointment with Miss Meng tonight, and the two of them were in the world."

"A word of ruling?" Cao Bin frowned slightly.

"He didn't hesitate at all, he shouldn't be like that." Tang Jin shook his head. If he deliberately ruling, there would be at least a time to think and react, but Lu Xiyan refused directly, which made him feel that this was the truth.

It is normal to spend the two-person world with your fiancée on weekends.

"Do I want to go find Xiao Wu tomorrow..."

"No, Lao Lu is a meticulous and very sensitive person. If he notices it, it will be bad." Tang Jin shook his head.

"What are you going to do next?"

"We have time, so don't worry." Tang Jin said.

...

Lao Li went to the secret location of the Shanghai "Eighth Office" on Saposa Road in the French Concession. Since he has come, he naturally needs to learn more about the situation in Shanghai.

Although Lao Li was in Hong Kong and paid a lot of attention to Shanghai, when he heard the people from the Eighth Office telling the underground struggle situation in Shanghai, he couldn't help but take a breath.

The situation in Shanghai is becoming more and more complicated, the enemy is also making progress and learning, and the methods are becoming more and more mysterious and cruel. The Military Control Commission is not willing to be outdone. Faced with the spy forces supported by the Japanese, they launched a stunning struggle against Maimang.

On this bloodless battlefield, blood is constantly bleeding.

Today you kill me an underground lurker, but tomorrow you will lose your life if you don’t know the single Japanese officer.

For tooth, for blood.

Such a struggle will probably become a norm in the future.

Although the military commander's struggle strategy seems a bit reckless, without them, the traitor gangs supported by the Japanese would be even more rampant.

To a certain extent, it curbed the arrogance of these people who forgot their ancestors.

So, it cannot be said that it has no credit at all.

As for the bloody revenge of the Japanese, the account seems to be caused by anti-Japanese anti-traitor groups such as the Military Control Commission, but in essence it is the cruelty and insincere of the invaders.

The concession protects the survival of anti-Japanese forces to a certain extent, but the living environment is deteriorating little by little, and the concession authorities are increasingly compromised with Japan.

This trend of change has been seen from the attitude of the concession authorities towards the entry and exit of the Japanese military police.

In the past, Japanese plainclothes were not allowed to enter the concession, but now they have already acquiesced, but they are not allowed to carry weapons. Next, I am afraid that even arresting people will be acquiesced...

If this continues, the space for movement will be smaller.

We must prepare for the future.

...

Although Lu Xiyan is not a regular visitor to Rongshun Pavilion, he is now a celebrity. When the boss sees him, he comes out to greet him in person.

"Doctor Lu, the guy told me in the morning that you called to book a private room. I immediately found you a quiet and comfortable one to ensure you are satisfied."

"Boss, you're welcome. We just have a meal and don't pay so much attention to it." Lu Xiyan said with her arms around Meng Fanxing.

"Please, please!"

"It's enough for us two to have two signature dishes. If you don't drink, there will be something going on later." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll deliver it to you right away."

...

Shortly after Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing came upstairs, Lao Li came in from outside the door.

"Sir, do you guys have any reservations?"

"Oh, I'm alone, no appointment." Old Li nodded slightly.

"Sir, please come here. Our private rooms upstairs are full." The guy greeted warmly.

"Okay, I want to go to the bathroom. Where is my location?" Lao Li asked.

"Yes, you go straight inside, and turn right at the end."

"Thank you."

Upstairs, the door to the private room was opened.

"Meimei, why have you been there for so long?" Lu Xiyan glanced at her and saw a man in a long gown following Meng Fanxing.

He looks in his early thirties, wearing a pair of round glasses, and a very honest face.

"Doctor Lu, hello, my surname is Li, just call me Lao Li." Lao Li took the initiative to reach out and introduced himself, "I asked Comrade Meng Fanxing to arrange the meeting tonight. I hope you don't mind."

"Old Li, comrade?" Lu Xiyan subconsciously stretched out his right hand and shook with Old Li.

"Brother Anzi, Lao Li is my superior." Meng Fanxing explained.

"Oh, Comrade Li, right? Please sit down quickly." Lu Xiyan suddenly understood why Meng Fanxing took the initiative to invite him to dinner and said he wanted to watch a movie.

It turns out to be purposeful.

"Meimei, why don't you tell me? Where is the place to talk?" Lu Xiyan said strangely.

"Doctor Lu, don't blame Comrade Meng Fanxing. I asked her not to tell you in advance." Lao Li explained, "In this way, our meeting looks like a chance encounter."

"I understand, I understand..." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"It's good if Dr. Lu can understand." Old Li also smiled and then sat down.

"Comrade Fanxing also told me about Dr. Lu's situation. Our party welcomes outstanding returning talents like Dr. Lu to join. However, Dr. Lu has a special identity and is not suitable for joining us for the time being. However, he can use his current identity to help us do something within his ability." Old Li said carefully.

"I understand, this is a test, right?" Lu Xiyan was stunned for a moment and asked immediately.

"Doctor Lu understands this way, that's fine. The reason why I asked Comrade Fanxing to arrange for us to meet is because I was afraid that Doctor Lu would think too much and thinks that we are rejecting you. In fact, it's not. We are sincere to everyone who wants to join the organization, let alone that relationship with Comrade Fanxing." Old Li said.

"As long as you don't reject me, it will be the same when you join, I can wait." Lu Xiyan said, "It's just now..."

"Comrade Fanxing has already told me about your affairs." Lao Li said, "You said you are unwilling to join the Military Control Commission, but now Tang Jin has already had a showdown with you. If you don't join his group, I'm afraid he will be unfavorable to you, so I suggest you, you might as well agree to him."

"Comrade Lao Li..." Meng Fanxing said in surprise.

"Comrade Meng Fanxing, listen to me and finish my words." Old Li said, "Associate to the Military Control Commission, you don't have to be with the flow. Moreover, with Doctor Lu's professional and technical capabilities, they cannot let you do things that go against humanity. Therefore, I think it's okay for Doctor Lu to join the Military Control Commission. On the contrary, Doctor Lu can also obtain a steady stream of information from the "nail" group."

"Is this to go to the Military Control Commission to be an undercover agent?" Lu Xiyan frowned slightly.

"I just suggest that this needs to be decided by Dr. Lu," said Lao Li.

"I understand, I will seriously consider your suggestions." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"I won't disturb you from eating, say goodbye!" Old Li stood up and said goodbye.

"Old Li, since you are here, let's have a meal together?"

"No, we just met by chance," Old Li shook his head and insisted on leaving.

...

After the movie ended, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing walked out of the cinema hand in hand.

"Brother An Zi, I was wrong about what happened tonight. I didn't tell you in advance." Seeing that Lu Xiyan was not in a high mood, Meng Fanxing felt uncomfortable thinking that he was still arranging his meeting with Lao Li for Rongshunguan.

"No, I didn't blame you. I was thinking about Lao Li's suggestions. I think what he said is not unreasonable. It doesn't matter who I am. What are the important things I am doing? What do you think, Meimei?" Lu Xiyan raised his head.

"Brother An Zi, do you really think so?"

"Meimei, am I really not qualified to join you?" Lu Xiyan asked seriously.

Meng Fanxing was stunned. She was really hard to answer this question because there was no quantitative standard at all. She could only say: "Organizations need certain procedures to accept a person, and it is not something you can join by joining."

“What procedure?”

"First of all, you are voluntarily joining, and you have to have two party introducers, and then you have to write an application for joining the party to become a probationary party member. After inspection and listening to the opinions of your party branch, you can only become a formal party member." Meng Fanxing explained.

“So complicated?”

"If you can join the party, you have excellent ideological and political qualities. I only became a formal party member after two years of inspection." Meng Fanxing said.

"I understand, Meimei." Lu Xiyan nodded.

...

"Old Tang, last night, Lao Lu did spend time with Meng Fanxing. He first had a meal at Rongshun Pavilion, then went to Dahua Cinema in Xiafei Road to watch a movie, and then went home together." Cao Bin reported.

"You sent someone to follow them?"
