The French Concession Ring Long Road, Tao Family.

Tao Yuansheng's condition has improved a lot. He has gotten up early. He has moved in the yard for a while and has breakfast with his wife and children.

Only his wife knew that Tao Yuansheng was leaving today.

And he could only leave alone, and his wife and five children would continue to stay as a cover. Otherwise, Tao Yuansheng would not be able to leave at all.

At around 9:30 in the morning, Tao Yuansheng and his wife were silently separated, dressed neatly, and came out of the house.

"Minister Tao, where are you going?"

Zhang Guozhen, who was in charge of the Tao family's guard, came up and asked.

"A friend, ask me to have tea." Tao Yuansheng brought nothing and got into the car empty-handed.

"It seems that Minister Tao's illness has been cured."

"Yes, I've been lying at home for four or five days, and it's time to go out for some breathing. Why, Captain Zhang is planning to go with me?" Tao Yuansheng asked.

"No, I won't go. I can't understand what you educated people say." Zhang Guozhen smiled embarrassedly. Tao Yuansheng's wife and children were at home, so he was really not worried.

"Drive well and protect Minister Tao's safety!" Zhang Guozhen told the driver to make way for a way.

"Captain, should you send someone to follow me?"

"What are you taking pictures? This old guy didn't take anything with him, and his wife and children are at home. Do you think he is the one who wants to run away?" Zhang Guozhen glanced at his subordinates and cursed.

After being scolded, his subordinates naturally did not dare to say more and continued to patrol without saying a word.

...

"Captain Zhang, why didn't you see Minister Tao today?" Since Lin Shiqun handed Tao Yuansheng to Chen Miao to take charge, Chen Miao of course also had to take this responsibility.

Yang Chen led an arrest team and was on standby at any time.

However, the guards and those who monitor Tao Yuansheng were Wu Yunfu of the Guard Corps, and the relationship between the Inspectorate and the Guard Corps was not good.

The quality of the Guard Corps is not high and often gets arrested for violating discipline. The Inspection Office has always been selfless, but Wu Yunfu believes that Chen Miao deliberately couldn't get along with him. Therefore, within the Lin Department, the relationship between the Inspection Office and the Guard Corps is the worst.

Lin Shiqun really wanted to ease the relationship between Wu Yunfu and Chen Miao, but Wu Yunfu agreed in person and refused to admit it afterwards.

If Chen Miao hadn't tried his best to restrain the inspection brigade from clashing with the Guard Corps, I would have been afraid that the relationship between the two families would be worse than it is now.

"Minister Tao went out to have tea with his friends." Zhang Guozhen didn't like Yang Chen very much. In the past, a small character actually got up so fast, and he was almost on par with him. Why? Isn't it just because he was following someone?

"Where did you go to have tea?" Yang Chen asked subconsciously.

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

"Didn't you ask?" Yang Chen's face changed slightly. Where did the person under surveillance go? Zhang Guozhen was so careless that he let him go without even asking.

"The driver and bodyguard are mine, are there any problems?" Zhang Guozhen snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with Yang Chen's tone and attitude in question.

"Just two?"

"Yes, isn't it enough for two people to look at one person?" Zhang Guozhen said, "These two of my subordinates are all elite soldiers who are experienced in many battles. They are incomparable to those of your subordinates, and they can't even beholden."

"Zhang Guozhen, what do you mean?" Yang Chen heard that Zhang Guozhen was mocking himself for failing to capture the task before.

"Deputy Captain Yang, if it's okay, go whatever you should do and don't interfere with my work." Zhang Guozhen yawned. He was addicted to smoking and wanted to go back and take a sip and get energetic.

"The surname of Zhang, let's take a look!" Yang Chen also knew that he had nothing to say with someone like Zhang Guozhen. If he did it, this was the French Concession. If he didn't do it well, it would cause the French arresting house to intervene, and no one could get it.

"Bah, what's the thing..."

Zhang Guozhen looked at Yang Chen's departure back and spat disdainfully.

...

When Wu Tianlin found Chen Miao, he and Xiaoqi were having dinner at a restaurant on Xiafei Road and sent the "sir" to the back of Shiliupu Pier.

Chen Miao and Xiaoqi took a walk around Nanshi and bought some small items for daily life. Basically, they bought them when they saw anything useful.

I don’t know if I don’t buy it. I only know when I buy it. There are really many things in my family.

When passing by Ruifuxiang, Chen Miao ordered a new set of clothes for Xiaoqi and Lao Cai himself. Isn’t it soon for the Chinese New Year?

After buying it all the way, I missed the order to go home for dinner, so I had to go to the restaurant.

After parked the car on the side of the road, they found a restaurant that was pretty good and ordered four or five dishes casually. The dishes had not been eaten a few bites.

I saw Wu Tianlin and Yang Chen hurriedly coming up from the stairs and heading straight for them.

"How did you two find me?" Chen Miao was surprised. In the big concession, Xiaoqi drove not the new car at home. How could these two know that he was having dinner here?

"Brother San, did you and Xiaoqi go to Nanshi this morning?"

"Yes, Xiaoqi and I went to Nanchenghuang Temple to buy things. What's wrong?" Chen Miao nodded.

"You asked our Nanshi Guard Captain Wang Ji'an to run into it, so we found you when we found you."

"Wang Ji'an, did I not meet him?" Chen Miao recalled that he had not seen Wang Ji'an today.

"You didn't see him, but he saw you. He said that you and Xiaoqi drove an old Citroen car and were wandering around the Chenghuang Temple to buy things. I guess he was afraid that people would recognize him, so he didn't go up to say hello to you." Wu Tianlin explained.

"Oh, that's it, then why are you..."

"Wang Ji'an thought you were doing something, so he secretly sent someone to watch it and called Lin to remember, so we found you so smoothly."

After Chen Miao understood the whole story, he was a little nervous. He was found to be unaware of his whereabouts, which made him alert enough.

Whenever you go out in the future, you really need to pay attention to the surrounding area.

Maybe it’s because you ignore buying things so that you can relax.

"What's the matter? You can't wait for me to go back. You'll have to come here like this." Chen Miao asked. If it wasn't for a particularly important thing, Wu Tianlin and Yang Chen wouldn't have come together. You should know that one of them is working as supervisors, while the other is taking an arrest team, ready to arrest Tao Yuansheng at any time.

Now all have left their posts without permission.

"Third brother, something big happened. Gao Zongwu and Tao Yuansheng left home almost at the same time today, but they are all gone now."

"Missing, kidnapped?" Chen Miao had already guessed, but he still pretended to be surprised.

"It's hard to say, but now all the people who can be scattered on the 76th have been scattered. The stations, docks, and all the checkpoints entering and leaving Shanghai have been moved." Wu Tianlinhui reported, "Minister Zhou personally instructed that people must be stopped and they must not take half a step out of Shanghai."

"There is a big deal now. These two people are the future officials of the new government. Mr. Wang's loyal minister. If something happens, who can afford to take care of it!" Chen Miao said.

"Will we be implicated at the Session?" Yang Chen asked carefully.

"What do you think?"

"..." Yang Chen smiled angrily, and that smile was really ugly than crying.

Although the Tao family's guards were in charge of Zhang Guozhen, the First Operation Brigade of the Guard Corps, Tao's disappearance was mostly due to Zhang Guozhen's negligence and carelessness, he was also responsible if he really pursued it.

Even Chen Miao strictly speaking, he has to be held accountable. After all, Lin Shi*** was responsible for Tao Yuansheng. Tao was missing, as the person in charge, he was responsible even during the holidays.

"Don't worry, if you take this seriously, it has nothing to do with you." Chen Miao said to Yang Chen, "I'll go to the director to apologize."

"Satisfied..." Yang Chen was moved. Chen Miao said this, which was equivalent to stopping all the responsibilities on him.

"Okay, are you two having a meal?"

"not yet."

"Then add two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and go back together after dinner." Chen Miao smiled, greeted the two of them to sit down, and asked the guy to take two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and cook two more dishes to serve.

...

"Director, it was because I was not vigilant enough that Tao Yuansheng slipped away from my eyes and nose." After dinner, Chen Miao went back to No. 76 to apologize.

"Do you know everything about this?" Lin Shiqun said in surprise.

"It was Wu Tianlin and the others who told me that although I had asked for leave, the director gave Tao Yuansheng to me, so I had the responsibility to ensure his safety and nothing happened." Chen Miao nodded.

Lin Shiqun sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I originally suggested that Mr. Zhou take house arrest against Gao and Tao immediately, but Mr. Zhou has a deep friendship with them and has been reluctant to issue this order. If we do it without authorization, then if something happens, we will be responsible."

"Director, Gao and Tao are core members of the negotiation team. If they escape from Shanghai, they will inevitably have a huge impact on Mr. Wang's great cause of peaceful saving the country. I suggest that if the interception is not successful, necessary remedial measures can be taken." Chen Miao said.

"You go back first, I'll consider it..." Lin Shiqun raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Miao, then raised his hand gently.

"yes."

From the conversation with Lin Shiqun, Chen Miao judged that he obviously didn't know whether Gao and Tao left Shanghai, and what channel did they leave Shanghai.

In other words, the "queen" "rescue and retreat" operation was successfully completed without disturbing No. 76. The "queen"'s operation and command ability is indeed extraordinary, and it is really admirable. She may not be a key part of her plan, but after this incident, she should let go of her vigilance and trust herself.

Sure enough, it was time to contact us in the evening.

Chen Miao received a message from "queen", asking him to meet at the Catholic Church on Tongfu Road tomorrow at 9:30 tomorrow morning.

He burned the telegram.

But he fell into deep thought.

Gao and Tao had obviously left Shanghai, otherwise, "queen" would have sent orders to come over and asked to meet him.

But his intuition told him that this matter was not over yet.
