Chapter 39 Ning Caiwei's Eyeliner
After a long time, the two separated.
Xiang Chu took out the radio from under the bed, set up the antenna, and connected it to the power supply.
Ning Caiwei brought a thermos and tea set from her room.
Since I am imparting knowledge, I will definitely talk until my mouth is dry.
Then they brought a lot of telegraph paper and pens, extended the antenna, and so on.
Finally, she took out a code book and put it in his hand.
Xiang Chu was surprised and said, "Hey! You even prepared these?"
"No! I prepared it for you."
Ning Caiwei smiled slightly and said leisurely,
"No matter what you do, I support you. Even if it means going through fire and water, I am willing to do it."
This sentence represents so much information, not just the love between men and women.
Xiang Chu was inexplicably moved by what he heard and guessed that Ning Caiwei must be "Hua Mei".
But he couldn't ask more questions, he just looked into her beautiful big eyes and nodded heavily.
Then, he began to teach her the eavesdropping techniques to the best of his ability.
The two sat in front of the radio and operated it until late at night.
Ning Caiwei finally couldn't hold on any longer, she leaned her head on Xiang Chu's shoulder and said dreamily:
"Brother Chu! I'm sleepy, carry me back to the room."
"All right!"
Xiang Chu picked her up by the waist and went back to her room.
He put her on the bed, helped her take off her coat, shoes and socks, gently covered her with a quilt, and then walked out of the room.
Returning to his room, he hesitated again and again, and still felt that although it would be easy for him to get rid of "Nighthawk" by himself, it would be easy to be exposed. After all, he had led a team to investigate there today.
Moreover, he asked his men to learn how to drive in a nearby open space for half a day, and all the nearby residents knew about it.
The Party Affairs Investigation Office will definitely follow the clues to find me, especially the action team leader Luo Xincheng, who is not a guy who can be fooled easily.
Thinking of this, he drafted a telegram and sent it out:
"It has been found that Nighthawk lives at No. 9 Wenhua Road. Please send someone to eliminate him when the time is right. Agent No. 99!"
Xiang Chu used his own numerical code to avoid the word "Phoenix" appearing too often in telegrams.
There was no need to reply to this telegram. After sending it, Xiang Chu put away the radio and turned off the lights in the room.
He opened the door and walked to the balcony, looking awkwardly in the direction of Ning Caiwei, feeling a little hesitant.
Logically speaking, he should not fall in love behind enemy lines, but Ning Caiwei's feelings came too suddenly.
And he is too sincere. If his opponent uses Ning Caiwei to threaten him, he will definitely not betray him. But would he be too ruthless to Ning Caiwei?
Thinking of this, he laughed silently. Aren’t there so many revolutionary couples whose love and faith are as loyal as theirs?
He swept his eyes over the dim streets under the street lights, the surrounding trees, and the nearby houses, examining them up and down, left and right, before returning to his room and falling asleep peacefully.
The next morning, there was a knock on the door.
Xiang Chu hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Ning Caiwei was wearing a clean white sportswear, standing gracefully at the door, like a blooming white magnolia.
"Hurry up and change your clothes and go exercise!"
"Oh! Wait a minute."
Xiang Chu looked a little dazed and quickly turned back to the house.
He quickly put on his Zhongshan suit and leather shoes and walked out of the room.
Ning Caiwei looked up and down, wondering:
"You don't even have sportswear or sneakers?"
“I haven’t had time to buy it yet.”
"I'll buy everything for you later, including suits and pajamas."
After walking out of the Ningde Mansion’s gate, there were not many people on the street.
There are plane trees on both sides of Qixia Road, and the air is very fresh.
Xiang Chu asked with a smile: "Caiwei! How do you usually run?"
Ning Caiwei said bluntly: "I have never run before, I want to pull you up early."
"Have you been missing me all night?"
After Xiang Chu finished speaking, he ran forward.
"I'm looking for a beating!"
Ning Caiwei caught up and started beating him up.
After the fight, the two continued running and ran the entire Qixia Road.
Ning Caiwei led Xiang Chu to a bustling neighborhood.
There are many restaurants on both sides of the block, and some of them have already started selling breakfast.
Ning Caiwei stopped and pointed at the Hutchison Restaurant and said:
"Xiang Chu! Let's go back after breakfast."
"Okay! But do you have money?"
"No! I know the boss. I'll keep the account first and pay him later."
Ning Caiwei pulled Xiang Chu into the Hutchison Restaurant and sat down at a breakfast table in the corner.
Xiang Chu felt a little strange. There was a seat outside, but Ning Caiwei asked him to sit here.
An old man in his 50s and of medium build immediately stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Ms. Ning! What would you like to eat?"
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "Lao He! Give me two bowls of old duck vermicelli soup and two baskets of Nanjing soup dumplings. Keep the bill first!"
"okay!"
And the boss smiled and nodded.
Soon, the boss and I brought up two bowls of old duck vermicelli soup and two baskets of Nanjing soup dumplings.
Ning Caiwei took out two sketches drawn by Xiang Chu from her pocket and asked in a low voice:
"And the boss! Look at these two people, have you seen them before?"
When Xiang Chu saw this, he was deeply moved. He didn't expect that Ning Caiwei had this purpose in asking him to run out.
However, he didn't expect that Ning Caiwei actually had an "informer".
He and the boss first looked at the portrait, then looked at Xiang Chu, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "We are one family! Don't worry."
I pointed to the portrait of Takeo Ishikawa and whispered to the boss:
"Ms. Ning! I think this portrait looks a bit like the owner of the 'Good Luck' grocery store on Chaoyang Street. And that guy runs a store but doesn't sell things actively. He doesn't look like a serious businessman."
Ning Caiwei quickly put away the portrait and nodded, "Okay! Thank you."
"You're welcome! It's my pleasure."
He spoke hurriedly to the boss and turned around to go about his business.
Xiang Chu said in astonishment:
"I didn't realize that a young lady like you has eyes and ears in the market."
Ning Caiwei rolled her eyes at him and said domineeringly:
"Don't forget! I am also from the Military Intelligence Department. Catching Japanese spies is my duty."
"Yes! It is indeed my duty."
Xiang Chu nodded, but his heart was a mess.
Logically speaking, Ning Caiwei is in the telecommunications department, so there is no need for her to have a spy.
Ning Caiwei was very smart and immediately noticed that Xiang Chu was suspicious. She smiled and said:
"Don't overthink it. Although this area is densely populated, there aren't many rich people. People often send telegrams. I'm in charge of the eavesdropping work in the department, so of course I have to dig it out."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Your spy really helped me a lot today."
"You and I still separate from each other?"
Ning Caiwei smiled sweetly, thought for a moment, and whispered in his ear,
"Then why don't you go to Chaoyang Road to check out the grocery store? It's not too far away."
"Of course I have to watch it!"
After breakfast, they headed straight to Chaoyang Road.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at Chaoyang Road, where shops were opening one after another.
The two walked into the martial arts clothing store opposite the "Good Luck" grocery store.
Ning Caiwei shouted, "Boss! Pick out an outfit for my man!"
Xiang Chu was observing the grocery store across the street and couldn't help but smile happily.
On the one hand, it was because of Ning Caiwei's words "my man", and on the other hand, she saw that the owner of the grocery store opposite was indeed the Japanese spy Ishikawa Takeo.
But he knew Ning Caiwei didn't bring any money, so he pulled her away and said as he walked:
"Wife! Don't buy me training clothes. Buy me sportswear. Otherwise, how unsuitable are we to run together?"
"Right!"
Ning Caiwei nodded, followed him back the way they came, and whispered, "Is he a Japanese spy?"
"Yes!"
Ning Caiwei asked in confusion: "Why not arrest him?"
Xiang Chu whispered, "I am now the team leader. I need to work with my brothers to make contributions. I will lead people to capture the criminals after work."
Ning Caiwei praised: "Well! This is how you become a good leader."
