Chapter 1087 Direct Warning

"Hey, here's your change..."

Huang Lihui picked up the banknotes and was about to call the person back when his voice suddenly stopped, because he discovered that there was a note tucked under the banknotes.

He was startled; something was definitely wrong. He quickly picked it up and took a look, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Huang Lihui, your identity has been exposed. Feng Guotao recognized you and betrayed you. Escape immediately. Do not take any chances. The surrounding area and the phone are being monitored by Agent 76. Do not close the shop door. Destroy any written notices you see. Remember this, Intelligence Section!"

Upon seeing the note, Huang Lihui had no more doubts. The other party not only knew his real name, but also told him the reason for his exposure in order to gain his trust.

Feng Guotao was my colleague from Beiping. The two had known each other for many years, but two years ago he was suddenly transferred away from Beiping and his whereabouts were unknown. I never expected that his name would appear here today.

Needless to say, it seems that Feng Guotao was transferred to Shanghai back then. When the Shanghai station was destroyed, he was captured by the Japanese and No. 76. After defecting to the enemy, he had been watching him for some time. It's laughable that he was completely unaware.

The previous call was, of course, an alert from the Shanghai intelligence department. After receiving the intelligence, they didn't have time to contact the Shanghai station, so they could only alert themselves by phone.

The Shanghai Intelligence Section was the most important and most secretive department of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the identities of its members were all top secret. However, because of his hesitation, he had to let the members of the intelligence section contact him directly under the surveillance of the surrounding agents, risking great danger. If they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Huang Lihui couldn't help but feel regretful for his mistake.

With that thought in mind, he didn't hesitate any longer. He crumpled the note in his hand, swallowed it in one gulp, and then turned to Ding Jiale and said, "We've indeed been exposed. We need to evacuate immediately!"

Ding Jiale, of course, saw everything and knew that the other party was issuing another warning. He could not hesitate for a moment. Upon hearing Huang Lihui's order, he quickly turned around and hurried up the stairs.

Huang Lihui opened the counter drawer, collected the banknotes inside, pulled out a pistol from under the drawer, tucked it into his waistband, and then quickly went up to the attic.

At this moment, Ding Jiale had already brought over a ladder, climbed up to open the skylight in the attic, turned his head to nod to Huang Lihui, climbed over and climbed out of the skylight, and came to the roof.

Shanghai has a large population and limited land, so buildings are always quite crowded, with rooftops of varying heights forming a continuous stretch. This was the emergency evacuation route they had planned in advance.

Huang Lihui followed, and the two looked around but found nothing amiss. They then used the cover of night to move between the eaves and quickly left.

Inside the Dahua Ballroom, after a dance ended, Hu Yunhe and Shen Manli left the dance floor hand in hand and returned to their seats. The two snuggled together, occasionally whispering and teasing each other.

A short while later, Hu Yunhe stood up and walked to one side of the ballroom. The two bodyguards who had been standing guard not far away also quickly got up and followed him.

Shanghai's security is poor right now. Hu Yunhe is, after all, a senior agent of the Special Agent Headquarters. During the day, things are fine, but at night, when he goes out, he is naturally accompanied by bodyguards. This is still in the eastern part of the city. If it were in other areas, he would have even more bodyguards.

Hu Yunhe entered the restroom, pushing open the door. Two bodyguards waited at the entrance. Just then, two men staggered over from the side. They grabbed each other by the collar, arguing and cursing. Finally, one of them punched the other in the face, who screamed in pain and then lunged at him again. The two men began to fight at the restroom entrance, forcing the two bodyguards to dodge aside.

However, the two bodyguards did not stop them from fighting. Instead, they watched the spectacle with great interest. Soon, security personnel arrived, and with everyone's help, they managed to separate the two men. The scene was quite chaotic.

After the security guards dragged the two men out of the dance hall, the crowd of onlookers dispersed. The two bodyguards then waited at the door, but after waiting for a long time, Hu Yunhe still did not come out.

The two bodyguards couldn't help but exchange a glance, then turned around, pushed open the bathroom door, and went inside to check. But the bathroom was already empty!
