Chapter 115 Encounter with Song Xi
Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei thought that this was an earth-shattering event and should be reported in major newspapers and magazines.
On the way to work the next day, Xiang Chu stopped at a newsstand and Ning Caiwei bought a copy of Jinling Times.
Ning Caiwei asked in confusion, "Brother Chu! There was no mention of what happened in St. Sophia Cathedral. But what happened to you in front of Ningde Mansion the day before yesterday was published on the front page."
"what?!"
Xiang Chu took the newspaper and read it, and it was indeed true.
The reporter used a documentary and humorous approach to vividly describe how he leisurely strolled in front of Ningde Mansion and overwhelmed his challengers.
And he specifically mentioned how a beautiful female doctor fell in love with him because of his handsome appearance.
"What a rubbish newspaper! It's full of nonsense."
Xiang Chu pretended to be so angry that he threw the newspaper away, started the engine and sped towards the office.
Ning Caiwei was jealous and snorted coldly:
"Humph! I'll keep this newspaper as evidence of your attraction. No! I want to meet that female doctor someday."
Xiang Chu said with a smile: "Cai Wei! Our revolutionary comrades must not be jealous."
Ning Caiwei said coquettishly: "I am also a human being! A woman!"
Xiang Chu changed the subject and said leisurely, "I'm afraid the Japanese spy we caught yesterday is also missing."
Ning Caiwei waved her hands and said, "How is that possible? Didn't the colonel say he would send him to us?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The people above don't play by the rules, it's hard to say. By the way! Caiwei, I didn't expect you to have the ability of shorthand, it's really unexpected, I picked up a treasure."
"Disgusting! It's not that great."
Ning Caiwei said angrily, paused, and said slowly,
"Brother Chu! Actually, I thought about it all night last night. If I agree to let my wife join the Central Party Headquarters as a stenographer, I will definitely be able to obtain more important intelligence, but I don't want to leave you."
Xiang Chu looked at her affectionately and said solemnly: "Comrade Ning Caiwei! The revolutionary cause is the first priority, and love can be secondary. How many comrades have sacrificed their lives for their beliefs, and how many comrades have been separated from their spouses for a long time. Moreover, if we get married, we will definitely not be in the Military Intelligence Department together. Therefore, I suggest that you go to the Central Party Committee."
Ning Caiwei was educated and inspired, and nodded heavily and said:
"Yes! The revolutionary cause always comes first! After all, we are in Nanjing and live together. I accept your suggestion and decide to go to the Central Party Headquarters to obtain more valuable intelligence for our party."
Xiang Chu pondered and said, "But you rejected Madam yesterday. What suitable reason can you give her to bring it up again?"
"This is indeed a problem!"
Ning Caiwei also fell into deep thought.
After being hyped in the newspapers, Xiang Chu became even more famous.
When he walked into the gate of the Military Intelligence Department, the sentries all showed respect to him.
"Hello, Captain Xiang!"
Xiang Chu saw that it was the same person from the day before yesterday, handed him a cigarette and said with a smile:
"Little brother! What's your name?"
The sentry put away his cigarette and said respectfully:
"Captain! My name is Zhang Xinguo."
Xiang Chu decided to just ask him, saying affectionately:
"Xinguo! Did any military police bring a Japanese spy here yesterday afternoon?"
Zhang Xinguo shook his head and said, "No! I was on duty yesterday afternoon as well."
"Okay, thank you."
Xiang Chu took out a hundred-yuan French currency and put it in his pocket, smiling,
"I find it unnecessary to ask the interrogation department. Just ask you."
Zhang Xinguo said excitedly:
"Thank you, Captain Xiang! I will tell you everything I know."
Xiang Chu asked with a smile: "Xinguo! Did the director come to work this morning?"
Zhang Xinguo said hurriedly: "The director and Deputy Director Ning came here at 8 o'clock, and then left in their respective cars at 8:30. They seemed very anxious."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Then I won't have to travel in vain, thank you!"
It is also a good idea to have an informant at the gate so that the leader’s movements are under full control.
Xiang Chu returned to the office, and Lu Xiong and Zhang Linmao immediately followed him in.
Lu Xiong said mysteriously, "Captain! Lin Mao and I have been following Wang Feng and found that he was taken away from his home by a group of military police at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon."
"Taken from home?"
Xiang Chu's heart was startled, and he immediately understood what was going on. He nodded and said,
"Yes! I know about this. You two have worked hard. Go back and rest today."
"Thank you Captain!"
Lu Xiong and Zhang Linmao said in unison.
Lu Xiong left the room, but Zhang Linmao still didn't leave, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Lin Mao! Is there something your brother needs me to sort out?"
"No, no!"
Zhang Linmao waved his hands repeatedly, approached Xiang Chu, and whispered,
"Captain! I noticed that Captain Xie is no longer pursuing Xie Lan, but is pursuing a new female second lieutenant."
Xiang Chu was startled, and asked with a smile: "A chubby female second lieutenant?"
Zhang Linmao nodded and said, "That's right! I saw my brother in his shop this morning. He bought breakfast for the female lieutenant, but she didn't pick him."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Okay! I understand. But for things like this, we should just watch and not spread rumors. Go back and have a rest."
"understand!"
Zhang Linmao turned around and ran out of the room.
At this time, the phone in the office rang and Xiang Chu hurriedly picked it up.
Ning Caiwei said anxiously, "Xiang Chu! Hurry up and get a jeep to the main office building. We will take Xie Lan to the Political Department to report."
"Just in time! I still have the keys to the new Jeep, and they'll be there soon."
Xiang Chu said anxiously, hung up the phone quickly, put on his military uniform and ran out of the room.
Soon, he drove to the main office building.
Ning Caiwei and Xie Lan were already waiting here, and two female non-commissioned officers were carrying Xie Lan's personal belongings.
Xiang Chu hurriedly got out of the car, took the items and put them in the car. After Ning Caiwei and Xie Lan got in, he drove away.
Xie Lan was wiping her tears, and seemed reluctant to leave the Military Intelligence Department.
Xiang Chu comforted her, "Sister Lan! I miss you all. If you want to visit, you can come over anytime."
But Xie Lan said angrily: "I will never come to this place again. I hate seeing that person."
Xiang Chu knew what she meant and said with a smile, "This is my fault. I didn't expect him to be so fickle. Alas!"
Ning Caiwei asked doubtfully: "Brother Chu! Did you see something?"
Xiang Chu said bluntly: "Yes! My subordinate Xiao Zhang told me that Lao Xie is pursuing Dainong's niece."
"what?!"
Ning Caiwei was stunned.
When Xie Lan heard this, she became even angrier and started cursing:
"This Chen Shimei is really a piece of shit."
Xiang Chu cried out inwardly: "It's over! She doesn't even know about this. I've become a 'gossip man'."
Half an hour later, Xiang Chu drove the car into the Political Department.
Ning Caiwei accompanied Xie Lan to report to the new unit, and he wandered around the entrance of the office building.
"Captain Xiang!"
A charming voice sounded.
Xiang Chu took a look and saw that it was the professional woman, Song Xi, the secretary of the lady that day.
Xiang Chu complimented, "Hello, Secretary Song! You look even prettier after not seeing you for a day."
Song Xi was very happy, laughing so hard that her body shook. She said with a smile: "You are quite good at talking. By the way! Come here, I want to tell you something."
