Chapter 251 Encountering an Inspection

Tian Ye looked at the other party. This woman was not very tall, but her clothes were somewhat fashionable. Her face was a little less charming and more cool than ordinary women.

With such clothes and temperament, it seems that he should not squeeze into the tram with them.

However, she happened to appear in front of him.

He nodded slightly calmly.

The woman's beautiful black eyes turned to the field, an apologetic but very charming smile appeared on the corner of her lips, pear dimples appeared on her cheeks, and the frost on her face instantly dissipated with this smile.

When squeezing on the tram in Shanghai, we often encounter this kind of thing, but Tian Ye doesn't take it to heart.

However, this woman's unusualness made him wary.

Just as he was thinking about whether to get off the train early, the woman squeezed past him and reached the second half of the tram.

Seeing this, Tian Tian simply stood still and watched the changes.

The tram swayed along the way, stopping and going. The woman got off the bus, two stops ahead of Tian Tian's destination.

Tian Ye looked out the window, and the graceful figure gradually moved away from him until he disappeared.

Maybe he was too suspicious, Tian Tian thought.

He has a good appearance and is very popular with women.

When I was in Shanghai, I once had an incident where I was accosted by some enthusiastic and bold girls.

Tianye looked at his watch. There was still an hour and a half until the departure time. There was no need to rush to the station.

It's only six or seven minutes away from the train station, so it's best to find a place to sit.

He soon discovered that the street ahead was particularly lively, with many cafes.

Like dance halls, coffee shops also sprung up in the 1920s.

In recent years, there has even been a trend of development from coastal cities to inland areas. Many cafes have opened in Changsha and Wuhan, and business is booming.

As for Lincheng, which is relatively close to Shanghai, the "Little Paris of the East", it is full of cafes and has become a favorite of young intellectuals.

Cafes seem to represent modernity and romance, as well as the advancement of Western civilization.

Whether they are the petty bourgeoisie, progressive young people, or officials working in the government, as long as they have money, they like to come here to kill time.

When Tian Tian was in Shanghai, he would often go to some cafes.

He walked all the way and finally walked into the door of Baoli Cafe.

In addition to selling coffee, Baoli Cafe also sells black tea, soda drinks, ice cream and various snacks and candies, and is quite famous.

According to Wu Fengjian, this cafe was opened by Tsarist Russian nobles who had fled to China, and many of the waitresses inside were Belarusian beauties.

Tian Ye found a seat near the back and sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. From here, he could not only see the entire cafe, but also see the situation on the street for the first time through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The clerk bowed and asked: "Sir, do you have a waitress you know well?"

"No." Tian Tian said.

The clerk asked again: "Do you prefer Chinese waitresses or Russian waitresses? I can recommend some for you."

Tian Ye smiled and said: "No need for now, I want to be alone for a while."

The disappointed expression on the clerk's face flashed away, and he said: "Okay, please wait a moment, the coffee will be served to you later."

There was a joke during the Republic of China: when you go to a cafe, you don’t drink coffee, you drink the waitress.

This is a sentiment.

Different waitresses charge different fees, and sometimes a "Coffee Queen" election is held to rank the beautiful waitresses in major cafes in a city. The higher the ranking, the higher the fee.

Not long after, the coffee was served, and the clerk still had a professional smile on his face.

"Sir, please use your coffee slowly!"

"Thanks!"

As soon as the clerk turned around and left, a Russian waitress walked over with long legs, smiled and greeted Tian Tian in a somewhat stiff Chinese, and offered to add sugar to Tian Tian to make it, but Tian Tian refused.

Tian Tian did not order the waitress, so the waitress lost a tip and turned away with a frown.

Tian Ye lowered his head and sipped his coffee, and finally understood why Wu Fengjian told him to come here if he wanted to take a rest.

In the eyes of the spies in the Party Affairs Office, most underground members of the Red Party would not go to such a cafe where waitresses make business.

On the contrary, those cafes without waitresses were the places where underground members of the Red Party often hung out. The spies went to arrest them, and they were sure to catch them all.

Baoli Cafe has a quiet and elegant environment, which is indeed a good place to rest and wait for the bus.

Tian Ye didn't realize that in a pastry shop opposite, the woman from before was watching him secretly.

The tram's route is fixed, so the woman got off the train early and immediately got into a rickshaw to catch up.

What an unexpected harvest today, the woman thought in her heart.

While choosing desserts, she quietly observed every move in the field through the glass window.

Tian Ye took a suitcase with him and got off the bus at the train station. He was definitely leaving Lincheng.

Judging from his leisurely appearance, it must be early to board the bus.

If possible, she really wanted to follow him, see where he went, and even ask for all his information.

But, she can't!

She reminded herself repeatedly in her mind that this was just a small episode.

After just observing for a while, the woman left decisively. Her intuition told her that Tianye was very alert, and if she continued to follow, she would be easily discovered.

When the woman stepped out of the dessert shop, she consciously quickened her pace.

The woman silently told herself——

He was dead and remained on that cold black land forever. The man in front of him just looked like him.

She can no longer be swayed by her emotions.

Because once she has feelings, she may not be able to control the situation at will.

The woman made up her mind in an instant.

This feeling must continue to be buried deep in her heart until one day in the future, she will leave this world with this longing and memories.

Half an hour after the woman left, Tian Tian accidentally discovered Wu Fengjian in disguise walking into the cafe.

"Let's have a cup of coffee." Wu Fengjian sat next to the field, still breathing, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Tian Ye was very surprised and whispered: "Why are you here? What happened?"

"There are suddenly more police inquiries on the street, and the same is true at the train station. You can no longer take the train. I found a car for you and parked it on the street behind the cafe. I will take you out of the city right now."

Tian Ye was very surprised. The street was very calm just now. The situation changed so quickly. Something important must have happened.

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements." Tian Ye completely trusted Wu Fengjian.

The two quickly left the cafe, walked through an alley, and got into a black car that had been waiting there.

To Tian Ye's surprise, the driver turned out to be a woman, and she was a very beautiful young woman.

Compared with the woman on the train just now, the one in front of me is undoubtedly more approachable and looks very capable.

The woman tilted her head slightly to say hello.

Wu Fengjian said: "One of our own!"

Today, Jiang Wan, the driver, was caught on temporary duty by him.

Tian Ye also nodded and greeted Jiang Wan.

In the car, Wu Fengjian chatted with Ye Ye again about the current situation in Lincheng, and did not avoid Jiang Wan.

During Ye Ye's trip to the city, although he did not find the missing intelligence agent "Qin Mu", he completed another secret mission, but Ye Ye never disclosed this task to Wu Fengjian.

The car kept driving east of the city. Halfway through, it encountered a "surprise inspection" by the patrol police.

Wu Fengjian looked out through the car window. In the past, this kind of "crash inspection" was a unified action of the police station and the Lincheng Investigation Room of the Party Affairs Investigation Department to arrest the underground party organizations of the Red Party.

The interrogation is rigorous, extensive, and conducted like a dragnet. Among the people under inspection, so-called suspects will continue to be detained, questioned, examined, and even arrested on the spot.

Although Ye Ye's identity can withstand any scrutiny, there are still certain risks when encountering such a large-scale "censorship".

Although he "met" Liu Haiyang, the leader of the Lincheng Investigation Room Action Team, during this Lincheng execution, it did not mean that he was willing to use this relationship, which would probably cause complications.

"Old Wu, what should I do?" Tian Ye was thinking.

At the moment Tian Tian was thinking, Jiang Wan, who was driving, had already turned the steering wheel and turned around.

"There are too many police in front of us, so let's take a small road." Jiang Wan said.

"Is it possible?" Wu Fengjian had doubts.
