Guan Shoumei did come with a secret mission. Zhao Shijun of No. 76 conveyed his intention to establish connections to the CCP through relationships. He also stated that he would do something useful for the CCP and the War of Resistance.

Zhao Shijun even said that he could provide information about the Japanese and puppets to the CCP, hoping that the CCP could send someone he knew and trusted to serve as the intermediate liaison officer.

The reason why the organization chose Guan Shoumei was because during the arrest of Zhao Shijun by the "Zhongtong", Guan Lu's sister took in and took care of Zhao Shijun and his pregnant wife. Zhao Shijun and his wife have always been grateful to Guan Shoumei's family and always wanted to repay them.

When Guan Shoumei joined the Left League seven years ago, she had already secretly joined the Communist Party of China and served as deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Women's Anti-Japanese and Anti-Imperialist League.

During this period, Guan Lu published the poetry collection "Singing in the Pacific Ocean" and created the interlude "Spring" for the movie "Cross Street". At the same time, she also translated excellent works such as Gorky's "Haiyan" and "Duncan's Autobiography".

Some time ago, the Southern Bureau conveyed a telegram from Mr. Ye of the Eighth Office of Chongqing to her, asking her to go to Hong Kong to quickly accept the task. In Hong Kong, Guan Shoumei met Gu Mingyue, who was in charge of South China intelligence.

Gu Mingyue instructed Guan Shoumei to always appear as a left-wing writer, not to expose himself as a member of the Communist Party of China, and to maintain his friendship with Zhao Shijun. The camera hinted that he contacted the Communist Party of China.

Until now, Gu Mingyue's words are still echoing in Guan Shoumei's ears: "Send you to Zhao Shijun No. 76, not to talk to him on behalf of the party, but to use your old relationships in the past to send you to see, listen, and find out Zhao Shijun's true thoughts and dynamics. Report what you see and hear to the organization, and do some rebellion against him at the right time. When you are with Zhao Shijun, you can only use your ears and eyes, not your mouth. If someone says you are a traitor and cannot defend, it will be bad once you defend."

At that time, Guan Shoumei nodded silently: "I just won't defend myself."

Gu Mingyue also emphasized to Guan Shoumei: What is more difficult than sacrifice is to destroy his innocent reputation.

Guan Shoumei was a well-known writer and a talented woman in the Republic of China. She had a deep influence in society. For the sake of the party's tasks, it really required strong will and incomparable loyalty to the party.

But Guan Shoumei made it clear: Resolutely implement the Party’s instructions!

Although Guan Shoumei had worked in anti-Japanese work before, she had never done underground work. Her behavior when she returned to Shanghai was designed by Gu Mingyue for her.

In fact, she had prepared a residence for herself and temporarily stayed in a small hotel, just to make Zhao Shijun feel that she was very down and out now. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shijun would arrange for her to live in Hu Xiaomin's house.

Before calling Zhao Shijun, she knew about the situation on No. 76 and knew that Hu Xiaomin was a spy traitor rising from the Intelligence Department, and was highly appreciated by Zhao Shijun.

Zhao Shijun arranged for her to live here, which may have a different meaning. It is both relevant and surveillance.

When Guan Shoumei heard Hu Xiaomin wanted to treat him to a meal, he hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's already very disturbing to live here. How can you still ask you to treat me to a meal? It should be that I'll treat you."

Gu Huiying immediately said, "How can that work? You are a famous writer in Shanghai. It is our honor to be able to have dinner with you."

Guan Shoumei's face turned red: "That was the past, now I'm nothing. Today, Mr. Zhao gave me two hundred yuan, which is considered to solve the problem of life."

Hu Xiaomin hurriedly said, "You use this money by yourself. When you go to our house, you can eat it. Of course, you can't use your money. You are Director Zhao's friend and my friend. He arranged for you to live in our house. This is the honor of Huiying and I. I'll book a seat, eat Chinese or Western food?"

“I eat more Chinese food, but Western food is acceptable.”

Gu Huiying immediately said: "Then let's have Chinese food."

"Okay, go to the Zhongnan Hotel on Aidoya Road. The taste is OK. I'll call." Hu Xiaomin glanced at Gu Huiying. Today, Gu Huiying was very enthusiastic, as if she had seen her relatives.

Hu Xiaomin has a good memory. He takes the phone book to read if he has something to do. He doesn't have to flip through it when using it. He picked up the phone and dialed it out: 92260. The first time he called this phone, it seemed like it was already rooted in his mind.

After dinner, Hu Xiaomin wanted to send Gu Huiying back to No. 5, Lane 433, Yuyuan Road, first, but Gu Huiying had a very good chat with Guan Shoumei and was unwilling to go back immediately.

Hu Xiaomin could see that this kind of speculation was not only because of Gu Huiying's admiration for her talented writers, but also because she was attracted by her unique temperament.

"You shouldn't have any contact with Guan Shoumei in the future. She may be a Communist Party." It was almost twelve o'clock when Hu Xiaomin sent Gu Huiying back.

Gu Huiying said disapprovingly: "She is Mr. Zhao's friend, and Mr. Zhao didn't say anything. Why are you doing so much trouble?"

After learning that Guan Shoumei lived at home, she was really excited. Guan Shoumei's articles had a great impact on her at the beginning. It can be said that there was also this reason why she was lurking in the secret service agency.

"I don't care about her identity. Whether she is a Communist or not, she can be regarded as unaware. The director arranged her to me, and it also means taking the opportunity to monitor her. But you have had a deep contact with her, and I am very worried that the Communist Party's organizational development ability can be said to be terrifying."

"You can't turn a blind eye? Besides, I'm just talking about something between women. Mr. Zhao arranged her here, and wanted us to take good care of Sister Shoumei."

"After Guan Shoumei comes, she must have a special person to take care of her family. We can't always eat outside. There must be someone at home to work, and we have to hire someone."

"Aren't you looking for someone who can trust?"

"Yes, I thought about it. Feng Wu's sister is quite suitable. Housework, no need to mention sewing and washing, the dishes are also good. I have eaten them a few times."

"You don't like someone else, are you?"

"I'm not that superficial yet. You go with me to Tongtai on the 5th day of Tongtaili tomorrow and have a meal there at noon. If you think it's OK, I mentioned this to Feng Wu brothers and sisters."

"The person you like will definitely not be bad, just let her come. It's not enough for such a big villa, so I'll bring Liu Ma over here too."

In fact, Hu Xiaomin took the initiative to make the decision. They just had a meal together. Hu Xiaomin bought the villa, so he would not have any objection to anyone he wanted to invite.

"Of course. But there were three people suddenly at home. Don't expose our affairs."

"I've decided that the room upstairs belongs to us, and all three of them sleep downstairs."

"Guan Shoumei is a guest, isn't it appropriate to let her sleep downstairs?"

"Sister Shoumei is easy to talk to."

Hu Xiaomin shook his head: "Of course she won't have any objections, I'm worried if the director will have any ideas."

Guan Shoumei was arranged by Zhao Shijun to the house. If he had let him know, Guan Shoumei slept on the first floor, he would probably blame him for not taking good care of Guan Shoumei.
