At the intersection of Jing'an Road and Hed Road, a seven-story western-style apartment building that moves west to east.

This is the Changde Apartment, which has been famous in the Shanghai Concession for a long time.

Originally named Elinden Apartment.

This is an Italian-style apartment building with a reinforced concrete structure. It has only been three years since its completion. It is very new. The color of the exterior wall is the same as the foundation used by women.

From the day this apartment was born, it has nothing to do with romantic talented men and beautiful women.

This apartment was designed by Lai An Foreign Company, and now Lai An Foreign Company's business in Shanghai has shrunk very little, and the architectural design has been swallowed up by Fanxing Real Estate. In this way, it is also such a relationship.

The flat surface of the apartment is "concave", with three households on each floor, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. The ground floor and mezzanine are jump-to-ceiling, and there are small stairs connecting them.

Lu Xiyan got out of a rickshaw with an old brown leather bag. He saw his old brown leather shoes, a long gray gown that was almost washed white, and his skin was stained with two beards. He also wore an old black-framed glasses and hat. Who could recognize him?

He bought this set of clothing and placed it in Hu Yunzhi's Tongmin Tea House in order to prepare for emergencies.

The people living in Changde's apartment are all people with status, especially many celebrities from the cultural circle, so as soon as he entered the door, he was targeted by the guardian.

"Sir, who should I look for?"

"I am an editor of the newspaper, looking for No. 52..." Lu Xiyan said vaguely. He could only infer from the font that the letter he wrote to him was a woman, but he didn't know the other information.

"You are talking about Miss Hu, it's not long before she moved here." The guardian didn't seem to be very alert. Maybe newspaper editors often come here, and he doesn't look like a bad person.

"Yes, it's Miss Hu. She wrote a novel. I came to talk to her about the compensation." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Well, the elevator is there." The doorkeeper pointed at the elevator entrance.

"Okay, thank you." Lu Xiyan spoke fluent Shanghainese. Perhaps this is the reason why he gained the trust of the opener.

If you have a foreigner’s accent, it’s probably not that easy to pass the door.

Take the elevator to the fifth floor!

No. 52 is a family in the middle, and the apartments in the middle are all two bedrooms. It is enough for family and three to live in. According to the words of the wardrobe, it should be one person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to meet him at her place of residence.

This should be the safest place she thinks.

The other party should know his identity, otherwise it would be very dangerous to do so according to the way of underground working joints, and would directly expose himself.

With a hint of curiosity and uneasiness, Lu Xiyan pressed the doorbell No. 52.

There are people at home, so that's for sure, otherwise the janitor downstairs would have stopped him outside the elevator.

After the doorbell rang, there was movement in the room, and a slight sound of footsteps came, accompanied by a wave of unnatural cough. He was undoubtedly a woman.

The door gently opened a gap, revealing a slightly thin and delicate face, and Lu Xiyan was stunned.

He is actually an acquaintance.

Hu Mei, who had already recognized Lu Xiyan, smiled slightly, pulled the door harder and gave up a position: "Doctor, come in."

Lu Xiyan really didn't expect that the Narcissus would be Hu Mei, and that Meng Fanxing would tell him that the female writer who made her feel ashamed and willing to shout for Wang Puppet's actions of surrendering to the enemy and selling the country.

"Dr. Lu, please sit down, are you surprised?" Hu Mei asked lightly. She wore a simple cheongsam, looking elegant and intellectual.

"A little bit." Lu Xiyan walked in and sat down until he came to his senses. Suddenly he smelled a scent of Chinese medicine, "Are you decocting medicine?"

"I'm an old problem. When it's cold, I get gasp." Hu Mei covered her mouth, coughed twice, and two unnatural blushing rose on her cheeks.

"Can you let me see the prescription?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Okay." Hu Mei did not refuse, and stood up and turned around and went to the study to get a letter paper. It was a prescription. There was a doctor's seal at the bottom of the prescription. This is the rule of this line.

"It turned out that it was the prescription prescribed by Mr. Fei, which was indeed extraordinary." Although Lu Xiyan is a Western medicine doctor, he still has a good understanding of traditional Chinese medicine active in Shanghai. He is originally from a family education. Mr. Fei belongs to the Menghe medical school, is good at internal medicine, and is quite famous in Shanghai, so his prescription is naturally not bad.

"This is also introduced by someone else. Let's take a look at this recipe first." Hu Mei nodded slightly, "Dr. Lu, will I make you a cup of coffee?"

"No, no, just give me a cup of boiled water." Lu Xiyan said hurriedly. Judging from Hu Mei's mental state, he could also guess that her spirit and body have been severely damaged. Her past friends did not understand, even drew a clear line, and even made unreasonable abuse.

I can’t find anyone to tell the pain in my heart, but I hold it in my heart, and I am isolated and rejected, so of course I feel uncomfortable.

"I heard Meimei say that after you moved out of your house on Ladu Road, I didn't know where to go. I didn't expect that you would move this Changde apartment." Lu Xiyan said.

"This apartment was arranged by Ye Yurou for me." Hu Mei explained.

"It seems that the couple is pretty good to you."

"I only know how to write articles with a pen. For them, at least in terms of cultural propaganda, it has some effect." Hu Mei nodded.

"This is a misunderstood and full of thorns, it's really hard for you."

"For the sake of the country and the nation, there are always people who have to make sacrifices. Now if you don't understand, you will understand them in the future. I can bear it." Hu Mei's eyes were filled with a hint of perseverance and strength.

"From now on, I'm your online business, I have a lot of work, so in a few days, I will arrange someone as the traffic officer between us." Lu Xiyan said.

"Okay, what about my mission?"

"Comrade Laomao should have talked to you. Your task is to stay by Lin Shiqun's side and observe him. There is no need to make any moves. You can just feed back the messages you see and hear to me at the same time." Lu Xiyan said.

"Is there nothing else?"

"It's not necessary yet. What we need is someone who can provide the internal situation of No. 76 for a long time. This is your task." Lu Xiyan said.

Hu Mei frowned slightly. After all, she had never done such a thing. Although she had passion and perseverance, she did not understand the value of her doing so.

"Comrade Hu Mei, don't underestimate what you did. The internal situation of No. 76 you learned will play a very important role in our actions and safety in Shanghai. For example, if we know the relationship between Lin Shiqun and Ding Mo Village, we can make targeted arrangements. In this way, I will give you a specific task so that you will understand." Lu Xiyan said.

"OK."

"You draw a picture of the relationship between the characters inside No. 76, such as who has a close relationship with whom, who has any preferences, advantages and disadvantages, internal power struggles, and the relationship between the characters inside the Wang Puppet." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.

"I understand, what you mean is that if we master the relationship between characters, we can target them and disagree and divide them, right?"

"Yes, only by mastering these can we know ourselves and our enemies."

"Then I understand, I know what to do." Hu Mei's eyes lit up, and she was filled with fighting spirit in an instant, and her face was much better than before.

"You asked me to meet at this time. You must have something to tell me?" Lu Xiyan smiled slightly and asked.

"Yes, when I was playing mahjong with Lin Shiqun's wife Ye Yurou these days, I heard her talk about Lin Shiqun's incidents against Ding Mo Village on No. 76. There was an Inspector Meng Hao's incident." Hu Mei said, "Although I don't know where their conflict has reached, based on my understanding and analysis, I think that someone around Ding Mo Village should secretly communicate with Lin Shiqun."

"Oh, you can actually notice this. It seems that you are born into this job." Lu Xiyan said in surprise.

"Don't make fun of me, I'm thinking too much, thinking that this situation may be helpful to you, so I asked you to meet at this time." Hu Mei said, "Actually, I'm not fully prepared to meet you."

"Why?"

"Actually, when Comrade Laomao told me your identity, I was confused all day long. I could not have imagined that Dr. Lu would be his own comrade or such an important leader of the Shanghai Underground Party." Hu Mei said.

"What kind of leader I am? I am the head of a group. Don't treat me as a leader. Everyone works together to fight against Japan and save China." Lu Xiyan hurriedly said.

"I might be able to help with Dr. Lu, Inspector Meng Hao's affairs?" Hu Mei said slowly.

"Don't, I will handle Meng Hao's affairs myself. I'm very grateful if you can provide me with some information." Lu Xiyan said hurriedly.

"I heard that there have been evidence that Inspector Meng Hao really appeared and shot and assassinated Ding Mo Village. Would it be troublesome?"

"It's just a witness. Even if there is no witness, will No. 76 not forge a witness?" Lu Xiyan said, "Don't expect the people of No. 76 to tell you the evidence. Their target is actually not Meng Hao, but me. Therefore, you must not act outrageously, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion."

"Actually, Ye Yurou knows my relationship with you and Fanxing. Even if I help Meng Hao speak, there will be no big problems." Hu Mei said.

"Okay, you have to master the timing and degree, and you must not pass it." Lu Xiyan nodded. In the past, Hu Mei and Meng Fanxing had a good relationship. Later, it became distant because Hu Mei had a relationship with No. 76. If Hu Mei didn't say a word for Meng Hao, it would make people feel a little ruthless and unrighteous.

"I understand, by the way, is it safe for you to live here?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Fortunately, I didn't kill anyone and set fire. They just targeted me in words and scolded me insincerely in the newspaper." Hu Mei shook her head.

"You should still pay attention. If there are strangers around you, such as always wandering around and looking at you, you should pay attention." Lu Xiyan said, "The old cat entrusted you to me. In addition to being your superior, I have to be responsible for your safety. Next, I will find someone to teach you some simple self-defense and skills to get rid of tracking."

"Okay, thank you."

"Of course, you also need to find a reasonable explanation for what you have learned. For example, you can also find an opportunity to ask Lin Shiqun to find someone to teach you, so that you will not be suspected of these self-defense methods and techniques." Lu Xiyan said.

"Dr. Lu, I feel that I don't understand anything. What you said is very useful to me..."

"I can't tell you clearly for a while, but the traffic officer I arranged for you is a veteran in underground work. He is more professional than me. If you ask him more questions, he will teach you." Lu Xiyan said.
