Chapter 28 Arrogant Team Leader
Ning Caiwei gently pushed Xiang Chu's forehead and said angrily:
"You are so stupid! If you hand it over to the director, won't you embezzle all of it? Besides, you concealed the interrogation results and secretly searched the Japanese spy base. This is a huge crime. Have you ever thought about it?"
Xiang Chu didn't want to hand it over to Dai Nong, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only nod helplessly, secretly complaining in his heart:
"It's over! I haven't even developed this girl yet, but she's dragged me down instead."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ning Caiwei thought that he didn't listen to her, so she continued to persuade him:
"You just graduated, there are some things you don't know yet. The Whampoa faction and the CC faction have always been incompatible. The director and my uncle are also fighting openly and secretly. No matter how well you perform, you will not be in the eyes of Dainong."
Xiang Chu didn't expect it to be so complicated, and nodded:
"Well! I'd rather give it to our uncle than to the virgin."
"That's pretty much it!"
Ning Caiwei nodded with satisfaction and excitedly put the banknotes into the password suitcase.
Xiang Chu searched the house carefully but found nothing, so he reconstructed the scene.
Ning Caiwei urged: "It's not advisable to stay here for long, go home!"
"go!"
Xiang Chu picked up the suitcase, Ning Caiwei picked up the radio, and they walked out of the house.
There were twinkling stars overhead, a new moon hanging on the treetops, and silence reigned.
The two men walked out of the iron gate of No. 92 Yihua Road and quickly crossed two streets.
Then they called two rickshaws and returned to Ningde Mansion, one after the other.
"Go to my room first!"
Ning Caiwei opened the door and pulled him into the room.
"Get rich!"
She put down the small suitcase containing the radio and jumped for joy.
Xiang Chu was holding the password suitcase in his hand, and he looked around and asked, "Where should I put this suitcase?"
Ning Caiwei glanced around the room and frowned:
“It feels like nowhere is safe.”
Xiang Chu looked around and said with a smile:
"I have a solution!"
After saying this, he pushed the dressing table open, pulled out a dagger from his calf, and pried up two pieces of floorboards. There was a compartment underneath, which was just big enough to hold the coded suitcase.
Ning Caiwei said excitedly: "Wow! That's great."
Xiang Chu asked, "Why don't you take some flowers first?"
Ning Caiwei: "No need! We still have plenty of money now."
"The US dollar and the British pound are susceptible to moisture, so you'd better take them out."
Xiang Chu took out the US dollars and British pounds and stuffed them into her hands, then put the password suitcase into the compartment, laid the wooden board on it, and put the dressing table back in place so that it could not be seen at all.
He picked up the radio and said with a smile:
"I'm going back to the house, you should go to bed early."
"go to bed early!"
Ning Caiwei waved her jade hands and suddenly asked in confusion,
"Do you have any use for this radio station?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Of course! I'll sell it for a good price on the black market someday."
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "You are quite good at living!"
"How about I open a door in the wall? Life will be more comfortable then."
Xiang Chu pointed at his wall and hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.
He closed the door and heard Ning Caiwei's furious voice behind him:
"you dare!"
In the dead of night, Xiang Chu's fingers were burned by the incense in his hand and he woke up immediately.
He hurriedly got up, turned on the radio, quickly tuned to a frequency band, repeatedly sent a code, then turned off the radio, lit a stick of incense, held it between his fingers, and went back to sleep.
When the incense burned out and burned his fingers, he was awakened by the burn. He turned on the radio again, received a piece of Morse code, then took out the "Art of War" and translated the code.
"Phoenix! The Long Qiwu you mentioned is an enemy spy who has stolen a lot of intelligence from our party. I hope we can find an opportunity to eliminate him."
Xiang Chu burned the telegram paper, hid the radio under the wooden board under the bed, and went back to sleep.
The next morning, there was a knock on the door.
He got up hurriedly and opened the door sleepily.
"Come over for breakfast."
Ning Caiwei rolled her eyes at him who was wearing shorts.
"Can you make breakfast?"
Xiang Chu said in astonishment.
"I am a human being too. I need to eat too. Hurry up!"
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly put on his coat and had breakfast with her.
Ning Caiwei handed him a fried egg and said with a smile:
"Did you hear the sound of the telegraph last night?"
Xiang Chu's heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and said:
"What's the matter? Did you hear that?"
"No! I seem to be dreaming."
Ning Caiwei smiled mysteriously and didn't pay too much attention to him.
Xiang Chu knew that based on her hearing, the wall was not soundproofed and she might really be able to hear it.
"Oh! I really couldn't sleep, so I turned on the radio for some fun."
Xiang Chu smiled and found a pretty good excuse.
Ning Caiwei believed it and begged, "Xiang Chu! You must teach me how to monitor enemy radio stations. If it wasn't you who monitored the Japanese spy activities at my post yesterday, I would definitely feel very uncomfortable."
Xiang Chu: "Understood! I will do my best."
"Hook, don't regret it."
Ning Caiwei stretched out her right little finger, which was as white as a scallion, towards him.
"Repentance is a puppy!"
Xiang Chu stretched out his little finger and hooked it around hers.
In fact, this is a good thing, as it gives you another reason to keep a radio station privately.
In order to conceal his whereabouts, Xiang Chu left the building before her and took a rickshaw straight to the office.
Today is his first day at work in the Operations Department, and he will be the squad leader, so he cannot be late.
However, when he arrived at the Operations Department, neither the Chief nor the Deputy Chief was there, so he had to go to Group Three first.
The leader of Group 3, Wang Fengguang, was a short, fleshy major. When he saw a second lieutenant appear at the door, his eyes were full of contempt.
Xiang Chu reported loudly at the door:
"Report to the team leader! Xiang Chu is here to report."
"You are Xiang Chu, only a second lieutenant?"
Wang Fengguang said in a cold voice, looking down on people as soon as he heard it.
He looked carefully at Xiang Chu's hands and found them empty. It was obvious that he did not bring any gifts for him.
Xiang Chu was very unhappy with such an arrogant team leader, but he still said calmly: "Team leader! I have a transfer order here."
After saying this, he handed the transfer order to Wang Fengguang with both hands.
Wang Fengguang waved his hand and said, "I don't want to see any transfer orders. You can report to the third team by yourself."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu put away the transfer order and turned to leave.
The team leader wore a gold watch, a large gold chain revealed through his open collar, and two large gold rings on his hands. He looked like a person who was extremely greedy for money and loved to show off.
