Chapter 37 How to Rescue
After Shen Yi left the room, he instructed Fang Wei to protect Tang Feifan well and to put Professor Tang's safety first, no matter what happened.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Wu Fuchun walking over with a big smile on his face.
"Team leader..."
"Hey, isn't this Captain Wu? What are you doing here?" Shen Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wu Fuchun became even more certain that Shen Yi was angry, so he quickly said, "Team leader, please don't be offended. I was just on official business when I heard from my subordinates that you had come to the Central Hospital, so I rushed over to see you."
"Hehe, I know Captain Wu is a very busy man, and official business is important, so don't waste your time on me."
"Team leader, what are you saying? No official business is more important than you," Wu Fuchun said ingratiatingly.
"I haven't even had a chance to congratulate the team leader on his great achievement yet. I'll definitely be there on time for tomorrow's banquet."
"I've heard that you enjoy painting, Team Leader. A friend gave me a Western painting the other day, but I know absolutely nothing about art. Perhaps I could bring it over tomorrow and have you appraise it for me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi finally smiled. "Oh? Western paintings?"
Seeing that Shen Yi had become interested, Wu Fuchun quickly said, "That's right, it was made by Cai William."
"Then I'll help Captain Wu with the appraisal," Shen Yi said with a smile.
"Thank you, team leader!"
Shen Yi then left, satisfied.
Wu Fuchun breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Shen Yi's retreating figure. Luckily, he had acted quickly, or he would have really offended this man.
He had previously heard Qi Yunshan talk about Shen Yi's excellent painting skills, which is why he came up with the idea of using Western painting to please the other party.
Wu Fuchun exclaimed that he was truly born to be an official!
. . . . . .
That night, Shen Yi drove to Chicken and Goose Alley.
Although most of the Special Service Department had moved to Hong Gongci, Chicken and Goose Lane remained an important stronghold for the Special Service Department, and Dai Chunfeng would often stay there.
After stopping the car, Shen Yi was informed before entering Dai Chunfeng's study.
"Wen Yuan, what brings you here so late at night?"
Dai Chunfeng was sitting at his desk, looking down at something.
"Uncle, Cheng Yulin and Yamamoto Yusuke's residences have been searched. Our men found some trinkets in their house, but thinking they weren't worth much, they didn't report it."
As he spoke, Shen Yi took out a form and placed it on the table.
"I had someone appraise it, and there are about a dozen items listed here."
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng finally looked up at Shen Yi. "Shen Yi, how dare you!"
"The Party and the State are currently cracking down on corruption, how dare you do this! I used to think you were a pillar of the Party and the State!"
"You've disappointed me so much!"
Shen Yi knew that Dai Chunfeng was putting on an act again. As the head of the Special Service Department, how could he not know what his subordinates were doing?
However, precisely because he is a section chief, he must maintain a facade of integrity.
So Shen Yi quickly said:
"Uncle, please calm down. The expert has already examined them. Most of these items are fakes, with only one or two being genuine. They're not even worth a few dozen yuan in total."
"Oh? Is that really so?"
As Dai Chunfeng spoke, he picked up the form and glanced at it, his eyes widening slightly.
Could this bronze Zilong Ding be a fake? And what about the Zhaoming Mirror?
However, he already knew what was going on, and since they weren't in the same department now, he and Shen Yi were uncle and nephew.
Naturally, one should see through it but not say anything.
"Of course," Shen Yi replied.
"Since they're all fakes, it's fine to keep them as decorations," Dai Chunfeng said.
"Yes."
"By the way, Uncle, my father recently transported some things to Jinling. I saw that there are a few old items among them. I heard from my father that you are an expert in this field, so I would like to bring them to you for appraisal. I wonder if you have time?" Shen Yi continued.
"I wouldn't call myself an expert, I just know a little bit. In that case, let's take a look at it in a few days," Dai Chunfeng said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, Uncle."
"Uncle, there is one more thing I need to report," Shen Yi continued.
"This time we also arrested a guy named Tang Shaoxuan, who is Yamamoto Yusuke's classmate..."
Shen Yi then explained Tang Shaoxuan's situation to Dai Chunfeng, as well as Tang Long's willingness to use 40% of Anqing Gang's annual profits to redeem Tang Shaoxuan.
Dai Chunfeng never expected Shen Yi to bring her so many surprises today.
"Wen Yuan, what do you think should be done about this?"
"Uncle, I think 40% is too little. It should be at least 50%," Shen Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng looked at Shen Yi with slight surprise. He hadn't expected the other party to be so greedy. No wonder he was Shen Jiuling's adopted son; he had truly learned that trick perfectly.
Seeing that Dai Chunfeng remained silent, Shen Yi quickly said, "If Uncle feels that releasing Tang Shaoxuan is inappropriate, then I will go and refuse Tang Long."
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng raised his hand. "It's best to avoid doing things like cutting off someone's lineage. Since Tang Shaoxuan isn't suspected, let's release him. However, we should still be prepared for him to go back on his word."
"Yes, Uncle, don't worry, I will handle it well," Shen Yi said.
Dai Chunfeng nodded upon hearing this; he still had a lot of trust in Shen Yi's abilities.
Shen Yi then stayed in Chicken and Goose Alley for a while before leaving.
After returning home, he lay in bed, pondering how to rescue the Communist.
Tomorrow night's banquet is undoubtedly the best opportunity. Lin Jiang and Wu Fuchun will both be there then, and the hospital's defenses will naturally be relaxed.
However, it might be a bit risky to let him do the rescue himself.
Even if the rescue is successful, he still has to find a way to clear his name.
The Secret Service agents aren't stupid. If I disappear for so long at the banquet tomorrow, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
But now that he knows, he'll definitely try to rescue them.
In particular, that Communist Party member may possess important intelligence, which could implicate even more people.
Suddenly, Shen Yi thought of Cui Lan.
Since we can't save them ourselves, let the Red Party do it!
He sat up, then got out of bed and opened the door, deliberately making a loud noise as he did so.
He then went downstairs, casually glancing at Cuilan's room on the first floor.
Shen Yi walked to the telephone and gently dialed the number on the dial; it was his own office phone number.
Before he could even make the call, Shen Yi pressed the hang-up button.
"Hey, Brother Lin, those antiques..."
Shen Yi pretended to talk about antiques first, then paused for a moment before continuing:
"The Red Party? Shall I interrogate them first?"
"Central Hospital, Ward 203. Okay, I understand."
He then put down the microphone and went upstairs.
Back inside, Shen Yi immediately pressed his ear against the door to listen to the sounds outside.
About ten minutes later, Shen Yi heard some sounds. He knew that Cui Lan must have heard them.
He peeked through the crack in the door and caught a glimpse of Cuilan's back.
Half an hour later, Shen Yi, dressed in black, saw Cui Lan walk in through the back door of Anle Dance Hall from the shadows.
At this point, Shen Yi was certain that Song Yu was also a member of the Red Party.
