Qin Lechi said softly, "Don't worry! The problem isn't that serious. My identity hasn't been exposed, and everyone can get back to work."
"It's not that simple!" Fan Xingyun shook his head. "We've found out that all the businessmen arrested with you have been released, but you were the only one who was tortured and sent to Kangji Hospital. How can we feel at ease with that!"
So that's where the problem lies. No wonder the organization hasn't contacted me these past few days. Qin Lechi gave a wry smile and then explained the whole story.
"So that's how it is. This is really bad. With Su Yue losing his mayoral position, our work won't be so smooth from now on!"
After listening to Qin Lechi's words, Fan Xingyun finally felt relieved. To be honest, he trusted Qin Lechi. An old party member who had survived the White Terror period was undoubtedly loyal. However, intelligence work could not afford to be complacent, so the underground party organization, which had suffered great losses, was very particular and cautious in this regard.
Qin Lechi smiled and said, "That's not a problem. This time we didn't come away empty-handed. Those traitors in the Special Operations Department were arresting wealthy merchants everywhere, and as a result, they also arrested many of Fujiwara Company's downstream partners. In addition, Su Yue came to our door, and Fujiwara Tomohito took action. Not only did he release all the merchants, but he also took the two directors of the Special Operations Department back with him. It is said that he gave instructions that we downstream partners who specialize in distributing goods to Fujiwara Company can all receive his protection. The Special Operations Department will not dare to cause us any more trouble. We will not have any safety issues in the future."
"Is that so?" Fan Xingyun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but chuckle. "It seems that this Japanese devil did do something good after all."
"Of course, after all, businessmen are in it to make money. Fujiwara Tomohito is a direct descendant of the Fujiwara family in Japan. No one in Shanghai dares to touch his interests, not even the Japanese intelligence agencies. Moreover, he promised Su Yue that he would find him a position after the establishment of the puppet government, so everything is fine now."
Upon hearing this news, Fan Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I also have some news to share with you. Our previous transportation channels ran into trouble. The Japanese launched a surprise attack on our contact point, and it was destroyed. Fortunately, your arrest delayed the transportation of these supplies, allowing us to escape this attack. Otherwise, the losses would have been enormous. Therefore, this transportation of supplies is suspended. We will notify you once we have arranged the channels."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lechi turned pale and quickly asked, "How could this happen? The contact point has been destroyed. That's our supply depot. The transportation route to the mountain is cut off. How are we going to get our medicines and supplies out?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. I don't know why, but the Japanese are cracking down hard on the transport of supplies right now. We don't have any good solutions for the time being, so we can only wait and see how things develop," Fan Xingyun replied.
Qin Lechi nodded. He was only in charge of purchasing supplies; other colleagues were responsible for transportation, and he couldn't get involved. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Perhaps there is another way."
Fan Xingyun quickly asked, "What method? Tell me!"
Qin Lechi said, "Currently, the only companies that can transport supplies smoothly in the Japanese-occupied areas are the transport convoys of the Fujiwara Company. Their goods can pass through various checkpoints without inspection and are transported to places like Suzhou and Wuxi. They have also established branches. If we can use their transport convoys to transport supplies out of Shanghai, we can bypass many checkpoints along the way."
"This method is good, but will the Fujiwara Company agree to it?"
Qin Lechi thought for a moment and replied, "It shouldn't be a big problem. They've already opened branches in Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou. It doesn't matter who they sell to, it'll just be much more expensive than getting goods in Shanghai. But I think it's worth it. You report this plan to your superiors. If it's feasible, I'll work on it. I think there's a good chance of success!"
Fan Xingyun also thought it was a good idea. The main problem now was funding. The underground party's activities were always very tight on funds. If there were enough funds, this would avoid a lot of risks.
"Okay, I'll go back and report right away. You should also rest well and get back to work as soon as possible!"
After the two had made their decision, Fan Xingyun turned and left the ward.
