Chapter 71 Article 1 Secret Message
A bright moon shines into the living room and the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner begins.
With so many good things happening, Ning Xiaoquan and his wife were naturally in a good mood.
Xiang Chu's arrival gave them too many surprises.
After three rounds of drinking, Ning Xiaoquan said with emotion:
"Wei'er! Xiao Xiang! Dad plans to leave the countryside and return to his career as an official."
Ning Caiwei asked happily, "Dad! Where are you going to work?"
"Governor Tang was assassinated, and his body is definitely not up to the task."
Ning Xiaoquan said proudly, thought for a moment, and said domineeringly,
"My leg disease has healed, and it's time to be promoted to the position of honorary governor."
Ning Caiwei said anxiously: "But Dad! We got intelligence that the devils are going to launch a full-scale war."
Xiang Chu said, "Dad! The Japanese navy is powerful and will definitely occupy the wealthy areas of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing first. It is better to go to the west. For example, Chengdu, Chongqing and other places to serve."
Ning Xiaoquan waved his hand and said, "No! My 400 million compatriots share the same hatred for the enemy. The devils are nothing to worry about. No matter how good and safe other places are, I don't want to leave my homeland."
Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei looked at each other and knew that they could not persuade this old member of the Tongmenghui.
Jiang Mei smiled and said, "Daughter! Xiao Xiang! Your uncle Rui Yuan's home is in Xikou. How can he not protect his hometown?"
"Oh! That's right."
Ning Caiwei nodded.
At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.
Ning Caiwei hurriedly stood up and answered the phone.
After she finished the call, she returned to the dining table and said helplessly:
"Dad! Mom! The call just now was from the Hangzhou Intelligence Station, conveying the instructions of our director, asking Xiang Chu to return to Nanjing early tomorrow morning. There is an urgent matter in the office that needs his attention."
Ning Xiaoquan said angrily: "Why is Dai Nong so anxious?!"
Ning Caiwei shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it's definitely nothing serious."
Jiang Mei asked in confusion: "Wei Er! Didn't you say that even your uncle didn't know that you and Xiao Xiang were back?"
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "It must be that the Hangzhou Intelligence Station captured a Japanese spy and reported it to the higher authorities, and specifically mentioned Xiang Chu, so the director knew about it."
"It's okay! We'll rush back early tomorrow morning."
Xiang Chu smiled, but he was very nervous inside.
There are too many uncertainties now, and I really can’t figure it out.
If you can't figure it out, just don't bother to think about it and just have a good drink with your future father-in-law.
However, after only a few drinks, Ning Caiwei snatched the glass away and said coquettishly:
"Don't drink too much. We have to travel early tomorrow morning."
Xiang Chu smiled cheerfully and said, "Great! I haven't been to West Lake since I came to Hangzhou. I really want to go and see it."
Ning Caiwei pointed to the back of the house and said, "Behind my house is the West Lake, don't say you don't know."
Xiang Chu said awkwardly: "Really? I drove back at night for two days and didn't notice it."
Jiang Mei smiled and said, "Wei'er! You and Xiao Xiang should go to the West Lake and enjoy the moon."
"Go! Go! I can't drink more than you, kid."
Ning Xiaoquan's face was already flushed and he waved his hands repeatedly.
Ning Caiwei took Xiang Chu and left. They came to the West Lake and walked slowly.
A full moon is in the sky, a bright moon is in the lake, the rippling waves are in harmony, which one is heaven or earth?
The distant mountains are like dark green, casting light shadows, the ancient temple is filled with evening drums and Buddhist chants, the fragrance of the red osmanthus wafts through the air and touches my heart, making me forget when to return.
The two were intoxicated by the magnificent West Lake and couldn't help hugging and kissing each other...
The next morning, Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei said goodbye to their parents and drove back.
After driving out of Hangzhou, Ning Caiwei wiped away her tears and said sadly:
"Brother Chu! When can we go home again?"
Xiang Chu comforted her, "Celebrate the New Year! We'll come back later."
Having said that, Xiang Chu knew that both he and Ning Caiwei were facing a huge crisis.
At noon, the two drove back to Ningde Mansion.
Ning Caiwei opened the door, looked at the floor mat, walked in, and said with a smile:
“No one has come in.”
Xiang Chu followed her into the room and praised, "You are quite alert."
"I also have a code name."
Ning Caiwei smiled, pushed him out of the house, and said angrily,
"I still need to take a shower and change clothes. Go back to your room first and wash up quickly before returning to the office."
"Ok!"
Xiang Chu nodded, opened his door, took a quick shower, changed into his military uniform and went out.
Tired of driving these days, he simply took a rickshaw directly to the Military Intelligence Department.
After entering the gate of the compound, he went straight to Dai Nong's office in the main office building.
Because of the three-day holiday, there were not many people working in the office building.
He stood outside the door and knocked gently.
Dainong didn't respond. Perhaps the knock was too soft, and he was about to knock again.
He moved his ears and suddenly heard a faint woman's voice in the room.
“It feels wrong!”
He stood on tiptoe, quickly ran to the stairs and climbed up to the rooftop.
A major officer hurried up to the third floor and went straight to Dainong's room.
Xiang Chu saw the major's back on the upper stairs, and heard him knocking on the door and reporting. He couldn't help but ask himself:
"Is this major new?"
After a while, the door was heard opening, but there was no sound from the major.
The sound of high heels came from the corridor. Liu Mei from the Organization and Personnel Department was wearing a tight cheongsam, with fluffy hair and a flushed face. She lowered her head and hurried down the stairs to the third floor.
Needless to say, the major was dumbfounded.
It’s not good to run into such a thing, let alone being a farmer.
Xiang Chu didn't want to get involved in muddy water at this time, so he simply gently pushed open the door leading to the rooftop and went up to the rooftop platform.
This platform is a high point that overlooks the Military Intelligence compound and its surrounding streets, making it ideal for sniping.
Xiang Chu walked around the platform for about ten minutes, and suddenly saw Dai Nong and the major officer rushing towards the interrogation department.
"This major must be Feng Shurong!"
Xiang Chu knew what was going on and hurried down the platform.
I walked up the stairs to the door of the telecommunications department on the second floor and knocked.
There was naturally someone on duty in the telecommunications department, and the person who opened the door was Ma Chunfang.
Ma Chunfang smiled and said, "Handsome man! Why are you here to work today?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "The director asked me to come to see him, but he is not in the office, so I can only come to your place and wait."
Ma Chunfang said hurriedly: "Great! You can help me with the shift for a while. I'm going to the bathroom."
"Row!"
Xiang Chu walked into the telecommunications room and sat in Ning Caiwei's seat as usual.
Ma Chunfang covered her mouth and laughed, "I can tell from the look of it that you have some ideas about Lieutenant Ning."
"Alas! The gap is too big, we are not worthy of each other."
Xiang Chu pretended to be very helpless and shook his head.
"I'll introduce you to one later. Are you afraid that a talented man from our CC department won't be able to marry a beautiful woman?"
Ma Chunfang said enthusiastically, walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Xiang Chu turned on the radio and rotated the frequency to the call sign position agreed upon with Zheng Zhili.
He was just playing around and didn't have much hope, so he put on his headphones and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, a Morse code sounded in my ears.
He was so excited that he quickly picked up a pen and wrote down the Morse code on the telegram paper.
The opponent fired twice in a row, so he remembered it twice.
In order to avoid leaving marks on the telegram paper below, he simply put a small stack of telegram paper into his pocket.
At this moment, the sound of high heels was heard outside the door.
He hurriedly turned the knob, turned off the radio, took off his headphones, and lay on the table pretending to sleep.
He never expected that Zheng Zhili would send him the first secret message so quickly.
Needless to say, this secret message must be very important.
"Handsome man! The virgin is back."
Ma Chunfang pushed open the door and said with a smile.
