The moment Tang Cheng was called out of the duty room, he already guessed that the matter might be a big deal. Especially when he learned that Secretary Yao came downstairs to check with him, Tang Cheng couldn't help but become timid. He finally realized that the development of things might have been out of his control. At this moment, watching Secretary Yao's back disappear at the turn of the stairs, Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the wind in the corridor seemed to be able to blow a chill through the bones of people.
Secretary Yao went upstairs but did not come down again. Tang Cheng and Zhou Hongzhuang were waiting in the duty room anxiously, but they couldn't show it on their faces, so they had to wrap their coats tightly and sit huddled together with their eyes closed to take a nap. The two people who had nothing to do fell into a drowsy sleep, and they didn't know how long they slept. Anyway, when they were woken up by Zhang Jianghe, it was still dark outside. "Let's go home!" Zhang Jianghe looked relaxed, but Tang Cheng saw disappointment and determination in Zhang Jianghe's eyes.
It seems that this has not been recognized by the superiors! Tang Cheng could understand the disappointment in Zhang Jianghe's eyes, but what did that fleeting determination mean? On the way back to the Zhang family's old house, Zhang Jiang and Wo, who had dark circles under their eyes, sat silently in the back seat of the car. As a result, Tang Cheng and Zhou Hongzhuang had to pretend that they were mud tires in the temple, and they were also looking at the nose, mouth, and heart. kept silent. After finally returning to the Zhang family's old house, Tang Cheng wanted to say something about Coca-Cola to lighten the mood, but Zhang Jianghe went back to the room without saying a word.
Tang Cheng was a little worried about Zhang Jianghe, but he also knew that this was not a good time to talk about that matter. Everything had to wait until Zhang Jianghe stopped talking about it before he could bring it up again. The night was dark, but Tang Cheng was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. Judging from Zhang Jianghe's expression and reaction, the discussion with the intelligence department bosses must not have gone smoothly. Even with the support of the director, not everything would be as expected.
Tang Cheng stayed up almost all night, and so did Zhang Jianghe, who was in a depressed mood. When they got up the next morning, Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe both had dark circles under their eyes. Zhou Hongzhuang secretly suppressed a smile, and the two of Tang Cheng looked at each other blankly and were speechless. They could only lower their heads and vent their dissatisfaction with food. "Ah, it's snowing!" Only halfway through breakfast, Zhou Hongzhuang suddenly pointed out the window and exclaimed. Tang Cheng looked up and saw snowflakes already falling outside the window. Tang Cheng could no longer remember how many times it had snowed in the twelfth lunar month. The sudden snowfall not only did not make Tang Cheng feel heavier, but made Tang Cheng feel much more relaxed.
"Uncle, I'm going out and I'll be back before lunch!" Breakfast took twice as long as usual, but Tang Cheng's mood improved inexplicably. Secretly telling Zhou Hongzhuang to look at Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng left the Zhang family's old house and went straight to the intelligence headquarters compound. On a snowy day, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but the compound of the Intelligence Agency was very lively, especially the place where prisoners were held in the backyard, which was extremely lively. When Tang Cheng found Cao Wanchun, Cao Wanchun, who had not slept all night, was looking through a stack of interrogation records with bloodshot eyes.
"Uncle Cao, you were also upstairs last night. Tell me what happened!" Tang Cheng looked familiar, completely ignoring the prying eyes of some people, and broke into the room where Cao Wanchun was staying. room. The arrival of Tang Cheng instantly made Cao Wanchun's originally excited mood sour. He was not qualified to participate in what happened last night. He was only called up to report the situation later, but he didn't want to passively wade into troubled waters. Although Zhang Jianghe was missing an arm, he was still full of energy when he slapped the table with others last night. Cao Wanchun asked himself that he did not have the courage.
"Xiaowu, you live in Lao Zhang's house, why don't you go and ask him directly?" Cao Wanchun put down the interrogation record in his hand, took the cigarette from Tang Cheng with one hand, and touched his brow with the other, rubbing his own Ajna. "Last night was an internal meeting. The Virgo has been strictly ordered not to disclose the contents of the meeting to the outside world, otherwise the family law will be taken care of. You, Uncle Cao, and I finally managed to get to this point. You kid, just think that you have pitied Uncle Cao and me. Don't ask any questions!" Even if you ask, I can’t tell you!”
Cao Wanchun's persistence surprised Tang Cheng. In his impression, Cao Wanchun was not a guy who could keep secrets! Seeing that Cao Wanchun really didn't want to talk, Tang Cheng didn't continue to ask. He just asked Cao Wanchun as if nothing had happened. How was the interrogation of the captured Japanese agents? Cao Wanchun's face became slightly better. Some. During the two-day arrest operation, the Intelligence Division had a great harvest. Not counting those who were killed on the spot or seriously injured and fell into coma, the Intelligence Division successfully captured more than 30 Japanese spies who were alive and kicking.
It was precisely because of interrogating these arrested Japanese agents all night that Cao Wanchun stayed up until his eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, when Tang Cheng asked about the results of the interrogation, Cao Wanchun's expression was complicated, because until this moment, they had successfully pried his mouth open. There are less than one hand of Japanese spies. Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng rolled his eyes, then leaned forward and lowered his voice and smiled at Cao Wanchun, "Uncle Cao, why don't we come and discuss it? If I can get the five arrested Japanese spies to confess today, just tell me. What happened upstairs last night!"
"If you have nothing else to do, go out shopping on the street or go home to sleep. Don't make fun of me!" Zhang Jianghe slapped the table on the spot with several middle- and high-level executives in front of the director last night. The Intelligence Department Although internal fighting is prohibited, there are still factions. Even the director's support failed to protect Zhang Jianghe. Tang Cheng was negotiating terms with himself at this moment, obviously wanting to get involved in what happened last night. Cao Wanchun secretly weighed his own weight, and it was better not to get involved in this troubled waters.
Tang Cheng, who was rejected by Cao Wanchun, looked a bit unhappy. Zhang Jianghe had long said that Cao Wanchun looked loyal, but in reality he was a man with the same eyesight as Bai Zhanshan. Now it seems that Zhang Jianghe was right. After being verbally rejected by the other party, Tang Cheng didn't have the nerve to stay any longer, but he still found Zhang Jiang and his former team members, borrowed a phone and called Secretary Yao in the office upstairs, and made an appointment with the other party on the time and place of the meeting. , Tang Cheng then drove away from the intelligence headquarters compound.
Cao Wanchun felt shameless to himself. He did not plan to return the car that Tang Cheng borrowed from Cao Wanchun immediately. In short, during his stay in Nanjing, this car could be regarded as his own private car. With dissatisfaction in his heart, Tang Cheng drove aimlessly on the street. He just thought that he should go to Joseph's place to take a look, but Tang Cheng accidentally saw Xu Huanshan appearing in front of a shop on the street through the car window. .
Tang Cheng did not get out of the car immediately to meet Xu Huanshan, because Xu Huanshan was not alone at the moment, and Tang Cheng, who did not want to have too much contact with the underground party, did not intend to show up until the identity of the woman next to Xu Huanshan was revealed. Xu Huanshan, who was coming out of a shop on the street, did not realize that Tang Cheng was in the black car across the street. Returning to Nanjing, Xu Huanshan had a lot to do. He had just finished the meeting with his contact person.
Xu Huanshan has now basically left the Nanjing underground party line. The owner of the store behind him is Xu Huanshan's only contact in Nanjing city. The woman standing next to him at the moment is Li Muyun, the assistant provided by the organization, pretending to be his wife. Xu Huanshan's current identity is a Chinese teacher at Nancheng Middle School, and Li Muyun is an art teacher. The two have spent two months living as a "husband and wife" at Nancheng Middle School. In the car, Tang Cheng secretly observed Xu Huanshan and the two of them. The store Xu Huanshan went in and out of before had naturally been secretly remembered by Tang Cheng.
"Tsk, tsk, I have my vigilance, but my ability to resist tracking is terrible. How can I become a person in charge with such an ability!" Xu Huanshan and the two walked forward along the street before crossing an intersection. Behind them were The tail was faintly attached, and Tang Cheng, who had already activated the triple eyepiece skill, shook his head secretly. The person following Xu Huanshan and the two men was a man in a cotton robe. However, looking at the man's figure and the way he walked, Tang Cheng had already confirmed in his mind that the man in the cotton robe must have been in the military. He was probably a plainclothesman recruited from the army by the Central Commander. .
The Intelligence Department has shone brightly during this period, and has done several operations swiftly and swiftly. The Central Commander, who has been secretly competing with the Intelligence Department, mistakenly believed that the Intelligence Department's outstanding performance was due to the fact that most of its personnel were transferred from the military, so the Central Commander-in-Chief took the lead from above. Beginning in March, soldiers were also recruited on a large scale to serve as the backbone of operations and plainclothes personnel. After discovering and confirming that someone was following Xu Huanshan and the two of them, Tang Cheng did not take any immediate action, but immediately accelerated to pass Xu Huanshan and the other two who were walking on the street.
Xu Huanshan and Li Muyun had not been working together for long, and they were still in the process of understanding and getting used to each other. In addition, the news that the contact person had just told Xu Huanshan was too shocking. After leaving the store, Xu Huanshan did not realize that someone was following the two of them behind him. Xu Huanshan, who was still secretly immersed in the news just now, was suddenly bumped by the first boy who came towards him. While they were apologizing to each other, Xu Huanshan quickly stuffed a paper ball into Xu Huanshan's hand.
"Let's go, don't stop, keep going!" Li Muyun could clearly see the process of the paper being stuffed into Xu Huanshan's hand. Li Muyun, who had a premonition of an accident, panicked a little, but Xu Huanshan secretly stopped him. Xu Huanshan was also panicked, but he had good self-control and did not stiffen up or lose his steps like Li Muyun. Xu Huanshan, who pretended that nothing happened, walked forward a little further, and then took the opportunity of arranging Li Muyun's scarf to look at the paper ball in his hand.
"It's okay, a friend of mine came here to remind us." Seeing the familiar mark on the paper ball, Xu Huanshan immediately felt relieved. Since Tangcheng could find someone to warn him, it meant that Tangcheng must be nearby. Seeing Li Muyun's puzzled expression, Xu Huanshan chuckled and explained, "It reminds us that we are being followed!"
