The Treasure Chest Refreshed Again
Summer of 1939.
As the new government supported by the Wei Nation had just entered the establishment stage, the Japanese army had temporarily stopped attacking China's heartland, and the war had entered a stalemate.
On the military academy's side, after the conversation with Wang Tianfeng.
That afternoon, Guo Qiyun told Ming De and Yu Manli all the information he needed, and then sent the two of them to the train heading east.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Tianfeng never appeared again.
However, Ming De knew that this would not be the last time the two of them would meet.
In the afternoon three days later.
Shanghai.
On a bustling street in the French concession.
The streetcar slowly stopped. Ming De, who was dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit, held Yu Manli's hand and got off the streetcar.
Looking at the dazzling array of shops around him, Ming De let out a long sigh of relief.
After three days of twists and turns, countless Japanese troops and puppet government officers investigated.
They had finally arrived!
Ming De never thought that a trip back to Shanghai would be so difficult.
"Ming De, what should we do next?”
It was Yu Manli's first time in Shanghai. She looked at the surrounding skyscrapers in a daze and asked in a low voice.
He had just arrived in Shanghai and had a lot of things to do.
"Before coming, Guo Qiyun gave me an address. He said that he has arranged for someone to rent a house nearby. You can stay there for the time being."”
"For the next two days, you only have one task. Familiarize yourself with every street in Shanghai and remember everything. Remember to be careful. Although this is the French concession, Number 76 is active here, and there are many Wei Nation spies.”
"Yes, sir! Team Leader!" Yu Manli subconsciously stood at attention.
Seeing this, Ming De quickly pulled Yu Manli and walked towards an alley.
After turning the corner and confirming that no one was paying attention or following him, Mingde released Yu Manli's wrist. He frowned and scolded her in a low voice,""Yu Manli! Have you been scolded silly? I just told you that Number 76's people and spies are everywhere, and you're standing at attention?! Doesn't it make you seem well-trained?”
Ming De's words did not show any mercy.
In the beginning, Yu Manli was momentarily stunned when she saw Mingde's fierce look.
Then, Yu Manli realized the seriousness of the matter. She lowered her head in shame and apologized profusely,"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was careless.”
However, this was the first time Yu Manli had seen Mingde lose his temper since the first time they had met. She suddenly felt a little flustered.
However, it didn't mean that Manli thought too much. Ming De continued,"I know that you've been in the military academy longer than I have, and many of your actions have already become a habit. But you have to know that this is Shanghai, not a military academy.”
"Yes, I'll remember it. I promise I won't do it again in the future.”Yu Manli collected herself and nodded solemnly.
Seeing this, Ming De didn't say anything more. He led Yu Manli around the French concession and familiarized herself with the surrounding terrain before arriving at the address given by Guo Qiyun.
This was a three-story tube-shaped apartment in a remote location. There were not many residents inside.
The apartment that Guo Qiyun rented was on the second floor facing the street.
The house wasn't big, about 40 to 50 square meters. It had one bedroom and one living room. It was well-furnished, and the biggest advantage was that it had a wide view. Through the window, one could clearly see everyone on the street outside.
After walking around the room, Ming De instructed,"Remember, you only have two days.”
After Yu Manli nodded in agreement, Ming De left some money behind and walked out of the apartment with his luggage.
Since he had returned to Shanghai, he naturally wanted to stay at home comfortably. Mingde had no intention of staying outside at all. As for how to explain it to his sister, Mingde had already thought about it long ago.
However, before returning home, Ming De still had something important to do.
He called a rickshaw and went straight to Paramount on Gordon Road.
Paramount was the most famous and luxurious entertainment venue in Shanghai. It was said that even Zhang Shao Shuai was a frequent visitor here.
However, this had nothing to do with Ming De. He had come to Paramount Gate not to seek pleasure, but to leave a message to inform the members of the intelligence team in Area A who were hiding to gather tomorrow night.
However, just as Ming De arrived at the entrance of Paramount Door, a familiar system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Ding, a new treasure chest has been refreshed. Please check it immediately.”
As soon as the system notification sounded, two spots of light quickly lit up on the virtual map in his mind. One of them was actually a Platinum Treasure Chest!
"A Silver Treasure Chest and a Platinum Treasure Chest? The treasure chests this time are not bad!"
Ming De was quite satisfied. After getting off the car, he stood by the street and immediately checked the location of the treasure chest on the virtual map in his mind.
" We didn't farm too far this time. They're all in Shanghai. Judging from the location, the Silver Treasure Chest is near the new government office building. With my connections, it should be easy to get it. However, this Platinum Treasure Chest..."
Ming De frowned when he saw the location of the Platinum Treasure Chest.
