Chapter 44 Victory is ours
In order to reassure Ning Caiwei, Xiang Chu went to the telecommunications department and knocked on the door.
It was Xie Lan who opened the door again, smiling and saying:
"Handsome man! Sister Caiwei has gone out and hasn't come back yet."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Sister Lan! If Cai Wei comes back, tell her that everything has been resolved."
"understand!"
Xie Lan nodded.
She knew that this was a code word between Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei, so she didn't want to ask any more questions.
Xiang Chu returned to the squad, immediately changed into military uniform, and gathered his team members.
First go to the "Xi Ke Lai" coffee shop and call the waitress over.
The waitress was stunned when she saw Xiang Chu wearing an officer's uniform.
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
"Sir! I was wrong. I shouldn't have charged you more money. Woo woo!"
The waitress was only seventeen or eighteen years old and she was so scared that she started crying on the spot.
Ning Qiang yelled, "Why are you howling? The commander asked what your name is."
When the waitress heard Ning Qiang's Shandong accent, she hurriedly said in Shandong accent:
"Brother! My name is Lei Guihua."
When Ning Qiang heard that it was someone from his hometown, he hurriedly said, "My name is Ning Qiang!"
Xiang Chu glared at Ning Qiang, took out a hundred-yuan French currency and handed it to the waitress, saying with a smile:
"Lei Guihua! Come with us to the newspaper office and find a reporter named Niu Feng. Tell him the truth. Mr. Dai did not default on his debt. It was your boss who made a mistake."
Lei Guihua took the money tremblingly, but said hesitantly:
"If the boss finds out, he'll beat me to death."
Ning Qiang suddenly became angry and sneered:
"Don't worry, sister. Your boss will never come back in this lifetime."
"Really? Then I'll open this shop from now on."
Lei Guihua was immediately overjoyed and clapped her hands and laughed.
Ning Qiang nodded and said, "Yes! I will protect you from now on."
"Thank you bro!"
Lei Guihua looked at Ning Qiang with eyes full of admiration.
Xiang Chu was speechless. Why did he end up with such a subordinate?
"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go to Jinling Newspaper Office first."
He got up and left, and Lei Guihua hurriedly took yesterday's receipt and followed him.
She is a thoughtful person and has kept all these physical evidences in advance.
Xiang Chu didn't need to explain to her, she would make the dead come back to life and reverse the situation.
In order to show off his ability in front of Lei Guihua, Ning Qiang said loudly:
"Sir! I'll drive."
"Okay! Lei Guihua, you sit next to him."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and jumped into the carriage with the other team members.
"Come on! One for each of you."
He took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to each person.
"Thank you, sir!"
All the action team members expressed their gratitude in unison.
"Sir! I'll light it for you."
Zhang Linmao diligently lit a cigarette for Xiang Chu, and everyone was happy.
The harmonious relationship between officers and soldiers has long been deeply engraved in Xiang Chu's heart.
The military truck started and Ning Qiang ran at a snail's pace.
Zhang Linmao wanted to urge him, but was stopped by Xiang Chu.
"Give your brother Qiang a chance to pick up girls."
The action team members burst into laughter.
An hour later, the truck finally arrived at the Jinling Times Distribution Office.
Xiang Chu ordered: "I will use courtesy first and then force. If it doesn't work, I will have to arrest the reporter. You wait for now."
"Yes!"
All the team members obeyed the order in unison.
Xiang Chu took Ning Qiang and Lei Guihua into the newspaper office and went straight to the president's office on the second floor.
He knocked on the president's office door, but the president didn't come out. The door of the honorary president's office next door opened, and a middle-aged man in a gray robe came out.
Xiang Chu looked at the middle-aged man and was stunned.
The honorary president in front of him turned out to be the old man from Longxing Teahouse.
Xiang Chu ordered, "Lao Ning! You and Lei Guihua go to the hall downstairs and wait."
"Yes!"
Ning Qiang hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu entered the room and asked anxiously, "Uncle! Why haven't you left yet?"
The old man smiled and said, "Chu boy! I was originally in the suburbs. You rescued Peacock and didn't leak the secret, so I came back and used this identity as a cover. But I'm going to Shanghai tonight. By the way! Why are you here?"
"Oh! I'm here to look for Niu Feng, the reporter from this newspaper."
Xiang Chu smiled and told the old man the whole story.
The old man smiled and said, "This is easy. Niu Feng is also our comrade. I will ask him to write according to what you said. You don't need to meet him. Just ask him to interview the witness you mentioned."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! Everything is up to you."
The old man hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:
"There is another particularly difficult task, which is also the main reason why I returned to Nanjing. I wonder if you can complete it?"
Xiang Chu said sternly: "Please tell me, no matter how difficult it is, I will complete it."
"No! You must not be so stubborn."
The old man waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more when he saw that Xiang Chu was about to take the risk.
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Uncle! Tell me quickly."
The old man hesitated again and again, then sighed, "The White Party is still encircling us. We are too passive because we cannot grasp the enemy's movements. Can you get a telegram code book from the White Party's confidential department?"
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have a copy on hand and will bring it to you right away."
The old man shook his head and said, "No! The missing code book will be traced back to you sooner or later. You still have to take pictures. Just give me the film."
Xiang Chu stood up and nodded, "Okay! I'll go back and take pictures right away, and then come over to give you the film under the pretext of looking at Niu Feng's manuscript."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay! That's it."
So, the two of them split up.
The old man immediately sent someone to find Niu Feng to write the manuscript.
Lei Guihua cooperated as a witness, and Ning Qiang guarded Lei Guihua.
Xiang Chu returned to the truck, took out a portrait of another Japanese spy, Imai Matsui, and said:
"Brothers! I'll give you a day off this afternoon to go shopping. Whoever finds this Japanese spy will be rewarded handsomely."
"it is good!"
All the action team members cheered in unison.
In fact, they knew that finding the Japanese spies was just an excuse for Xiang Chu to give them a holiday.
After the action team members left, Xiang Chu drove his truck to a photo studio to buy a camera and some film, then returned to Ningde Mansion, entered his room, took out the code book and took pictures.
Then he took the film and drove back to the Jinling Times newspaper office.
He gave the film to the old man, and the old man gave him the manuscript written by Niu Feng.
The old man was holding the film, his joy was beyond words, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Chu boy! If your master knew that we exchanged like this, would he laugh his teeth off?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! But I really miss Master."
“When the revolution succeeds, it will be time to meet again!”
The old man said firmly, his eyes full of expectation.
"Victory will definitely belong to us!"
Xiang Chu clenched his fists and nodded heavily.
