The wall tiles were pressed down, and then with a creak, the wall on one side opened, revealing a dark passage.
"Follow me." Li Wensheng turned around and said, taking the lead into the secret passage.
Chen Wenqi quickly followed without any hesitation.
After Chen Wenqi came in, Li Wensheng took down the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the secret passage, lit it and handed it to Chen Wenqi, and then pressed a stone brick on the left wall.
With a creak, the secret door behind him closed.
Then, Li Wensheng led Chen Wenqi forward along the secret passage.
After walking only two steps, I turned a corner and the secret passage began to go down.
After walking down ten meters, the road became gentle and there was a fork in the road ahead.
Li Wensheng took Chen Wenqi and walked to the left passage.
This secret passage had many turns and forks in the road, which made Chen Wenqi frequently look at Li Wensheng with strange eyes.
When they passed the third fork in the road, Chen Wenqi couldn't bear it any longer and exclaimed, "This secret passage is so complicated that it's like a maze. No wonder you want to buy half of it.
However, you are too cautious. Even if there is a secret passage, there are so many forks in the road. If you hadn't led the way, no one would be able to get out in a short time. "
"Coming to the safe house must be when I am at my weakest, so of course I have to be cautious."
"You are being very cautious, but if you were able to create such a maze of secret passages, you must have made a lot of money while working at the Demon City Military Command Station."
"If I don't make money from it, others will."
Chen Wenqi said no more, and then the two of them walked very quietly for a few minutes and came to an iron fence.
"you,,,,,"
Looking at the iron fence, Chen Wenqi's eyes almost popped out of her head, but she didn't know what to say. Should she be cautious or too timid?
"Caution comes first."
As Li Wensheng spoke, he took out a key from his pocket, actually from the system space, and opened the extra-large iron chain lock on the iron fence.
After walking through the iron fence, Li Wensheng turned around and locked the door.
When walking forward again, Chen Wenqi turned around and asked, "You are so cautious, why do you act so boldly?"
“Boldness and caution are never opposites.”
Chen Wenqi's eyes flashed, and she looked at Li Wensheng with a look filled with pity.
Boldness shows that Li Wensheng is passionate, so he went to assassinate Hirohito Showa.
But being so cautious only shows that Li Wensheng has no one he trusts and has no sense of security. It is really pitiful that he doesn't even have anyone he trusts.
After the two of them turned a corner, the secret passage began to go upwards, and finally came to a wall.
Li Wensheng casually pressed a stone brick on the right wall, and then, with a creak, the wall in front opened, revealing a wooden board.
Boom!
Li Wensheng stepped forward and knocked on the wooden board.
After waiting for a few seconds, the wooden board opened, revealing a middle-aged man in a white coat.
"Wen Sheng."
Seeing Li Wensheng, the middle-aged man looked happy. Then he noticed that Li Wensheng was covered in blood, and his expression suddenly changed, "He's injured!"
"Well, Uncle Gong, please excuse me." Li Wensheng said and walked out.
Chen Wenqi walked out and found that this was an office, and the secret passage was behind the bookshelf behind the desk.
"Wen Sheng, wait a moment, I'll go out and make arrangements." The middle-aged man hurriedly walked out.
"Uncle Gong." Li Wensheng quickly called to the middle-aged man, "Find a suitable reason and don't make people suspicious."
"I understand. I will tell them that I have to go out for a few days for something and the store has to be closed." Uncle Gong turned around and replied.
After Uncle Gong walked out of the office, Chen Wenqi asked in a low voice, "The secret passage leads here. I guess this Uncle Gong is someone you trust."
“Not really, I saved his family’s lives before and even paid him to send them abroad.
He is alone now and has no worries, and I am kind to him. Normally, he would not betray me, but once he is sentenced, he will still confess.
So I didn't reveal my identity to him. He didn't know where I lived, and he didn't have the key to the big lock on the iron fence in the middle of the secret passage. "
Although Li Wensheng did not look around cautiously, Chen Wenqi clearly felt that Li Wensheng was tense all over and was always ready to escape or take action. She suddenly felt a little distressed.
"What's wrong?" Chen Wenqi's eyes looked a little strange, which made Li Wensheng a little curious.
Chen Wenqi hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think it's tiring to live like this? You don't believe anyone, and you're wary of everyone."
Li Wensheng looked at Chen Wenqi in surprise, and a smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that you have never worked in enemy-occupied areas. That's right. You are from the Political Department and there is no need to work in enemy-occupied areas.
Let me tell you, if you want to survive as an agent in enemy-occupied territory, you must trust no one. Even your boss must always be suspicious.
Agents who trust people easily are only suitable to stay in national war zones. "
Chen Wenqi was silent for a few seconds and whispered, "Come back to the mountain city with me. Nothing will happen if you go back to the mountain city now. You can still be the section chief of the Second Military Unification Division."
Inadvertently, Chen Wenqi's tone contained a hint of pleading, but neither of them noticed it.
"Yes, I won't lose my head if I go back now. But from now on, I will always be monitored, and even controlled by others."
"That would be better than what you are like now, like a lonely ghost, wary of everyone."
Chen Wenqi was a little excited, and the tone and speed of her speech were obviously different from before. Li Wensheng noticed it now.
"What are you doing?"
Looking at the confused Li Wensheng, Chen Wenqi secretly took a deep breath and returned to her previous demeanor, "It's nothing."
Li Wensheng knew that Chen Wenqi must have thought of something before she suddenly became excited, but she didn't say anything and he didn't ask any more questions.
As soon as the conversation stopped, Uncle Gong came back within a few seconds.
"Wen Sheng, everyone has left. I will treat your injuries now."
This is just a small clinic without a well-equipped operating room, but apart from anesthesia, all kinds of medicines are available.
When they came to a quiet room, Li Wensheng seemed to be bleeding more and his injuries were more serious, so Uncle Gong treated his injuries first.
After untying the clothes that were bandaging the wound, cutting off the clothes at the wound, cleaning the wound, and after checking it, Uncle Gong, who frowned, said worriedly, "Wen Sheng, the wound on your arm has a bullet lodged in the bone joint. You have to use anesthetic."
"Where can I get anesthesia at this time? Uncle Gong, please find me a towel." Li Wensheng gasped as his face turned pale after the wound was cleaned.
Uncle Gong still wanted to persuade, but Chen Wenqi stood up, took a towel from the table nearby and handed it to Li Wensheng.
Li Wensheng rolled up the towel, stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded towards Uncle Gong.
Seeing this, Uncle Gong had no choice but to take action.
Opening the wound caused Li Wensheng to sweat on his forehead and distort his face. When his back hit the bone, the pain made all the veins bulge all over his body, and then - he fainted from the pain.
When he woke up, his left arm and waist were in severe pain, and his face was still stained with water.
Seeing that Li Wensheng was awake, the pale Chen Wenqi put the bowl aside and whispered, "It's time to go."
Li Wensheng wiped the water from his face, turned to look out the window, and found that it was already dark outside.
"hiss!"
When he got up, the wound was involved, making Li Wensheng take a breath.
Upon seeing this, Chen Wenqi quickly helped Li Wensheng get off the bed.
After scanning around, Li Wensheng turned around and asked, "Where is Uncle Gong?"
"If everyone in the clinic suddenly leaves, it will make people suspicious if he stays in the clinic for too long.
After the operation, I let him go. Chen Wenqi replied in a low voice.
Li Wensheng nodded slightly, took the medicine prepared by Uncle Gong, and walked towards the secret passage with Chen Wenqi.
Returning to the safe house, he put the washstand back to its original place, and then took it out from the closet in the next room. In order to prevent this situation from happening, Li Wensheng put the clothes away specially.
He didn't prepare women's clothes, so he had to ask Chen Wenqi to change into men's clothes.
After changing their clothes, the two walked out of the house and walked towards the bungalow on Xiangshan Road.
