Chapter 214 The Hardest Moment
Xiang Chu walked to the door of Ning Changde's office, knocked and entered.
Ning Changde saw that he looked unhappy and asked in confusion:
"Xiang boy! Are you frustrated?"
Xiang Chu explained to him the circumstances of his refusal to accept the bribe.
But Ning Changde said, "You are really stupid, it would be a waste if you don't accept such money."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Uncle! Buying those broken planes will really kill the pilots."
Ning Changde said angrily: "What can you, a major, do? Can you change it?"
"Okay! Let's not talk about this for now. I'm going to tell you something important."
Xiang Chu closed the door and saw that he was very frightened, so he turned and asked,
"Uncle! If I say Kang Ce is a Japanese spy, will Dainong believe it?"
"I absolutely won't believe it!"
Ning Changde said without hesitation, and paused.
"Kang Ce was transferred here because he once saved Dai Nong's life, and Kang Ce is also Mrs. Dai's cousin. Without definite evidence, it would only cause trouble if we say so."
Xiang Chu immediately gave up the idea of exposing Kang Ce and said with a smile,
"I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."
Ning Changde said earnestly, "Xiao Xiang! You have almost caught all the Japanese spies. You should calm down for a few days and don't treat everyone as a Japanese spy."
"Uncle! I know."
Xiang Chu came out of Ning Changde's office and went straight to the archives room.
He hasn't been to Li Maocai for a long time and needs to take a walk.
Li Maocai saw him coming and said happily:
"Xiang boy! You're a hero now."
"Director, you are too kind. The newspapers are exaggerating."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, handed him a cigarette, and said in a puzzled manner,
"Is there no one monitoring the phone now?"
Li Maocai pointed to the data room inside and whispered:
"Maybe Lin Qiao'er was too busy, so Anna brought someone to take over the phone monitoring."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "What are you busying about?!"
Li Maocai pretended to be indifferent and said:
"They still want to dig out the Red Party members in the department."
Xiang Chu said bitterly: "The Japs have already been forced outside the Great Wall, and they are still doing this!"
Li Maocai laughed and said, "If they want to fight against foreign aggressors, they must first stabilize the country, haha!"
Xiang Chu heard a different message from his laughter.
However, for safety reasons, Xiang Chu remained calm and chatted for a few minutes before going to the telecommunications department.
Lin Qiaoer just came back from outside, and seeing him at the door, she said with a smile:
"Brother! Are you looking for me?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Why don't you live across from me?"
Lin Qiaoer smiled and said, "No! My uncle is on a business trip and my aunt is scared to be alone at home, so she asked me to go over and keep her company at night."
"It's good that they didn't move away!"
Xiang Chu said against his will.
Lin Qiaoer raised the newspaper in her hand and said admiringly:
"Brother! You are so awesome. I admire you more and more."
Xiang Chu glanced at her charming and caring eyes, shook his head and said:
"The newspapers are just talking nonsense. I'm just a playboy. I'm leaving!"
After saying this, he patted her shoulders and walked towards the stairs in a leisurely manner.
Behind me, I heard Lin Qiaoer muttering:
"It's true that women don't love bad men!"
Xiang Chu walked towards the Operations Department, thinking in his heart: "Qiao'er has always had pure eyes, how could she be so charming? She is definitely not Qiao'er..."
"Xiang boy!"
Liu Zhengxiong suddenly jumped out from behind a big sycamore tree and shouted.
Xiang Chu shouted, "You are still young!"
Liu Zhengxiong pulled his arm affectionately and said happily:
"You know what? Ah Mei sent me a message from her hometown."
"Let's go! Let's talk in my office."
Xiang Chu smiled, but he didn't want to ask for details on the street.
After entering the office, Liu Zhengxiong closed the door and said with a smile: "Xiaowan's father introduced an old comrade who came from his hometown to manage Warehouse No. 19 at Xiaguan Wharf."
"The old family sent such a senior comrade?"
Xiang Chu was overjoyed and wanted to ask his name, but he felt that was inappropriate and changed his question.
"Lao Liu! Does this old comrade know me?"
"do not know!"
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head, feeling that he had said something wrong, and explained,
"I mean I don't know if he knows."
"You're quite good at tongue twisters!"
Xiang Chu smiled and paused.
"How do you know it was Xiaowan's father who introduced him? Does this old comrade have a letter of introduction?"
Liu Zhengxiong was stunned and shook his head, "No! I went to the warehouse the day before yesterday and he said that he was introduced by the previous shopkeeper Yu Niansheng and came from his hometown. He also said that Ah Mei made me feel at ease."
Xiang Chu said in a deep voice: "What is his name? I must verify his true identity. Also, does he know your identity as 'Thrush'? And Hua Aimei's identity as 'Kingfisher'?"
"Did you know May's code name is 'Kingfisher'?"
Liu Zhengxiong was very surprised, and after a while he said, "Boy! Do you suspect that the old comrade is a traitor? He is a comrade who joined the revolution a long time ago."
Xiang Chu said solemnly: "Revolution is like the great waves washing away the sands. Many comrades in the early days did not betray us? For example, the leader's bodyguard Li Mouqun and Gu Mouzhang."
Liu Zhengxiong had cold sweat on his forehead and said anxiously, "His name is Hua Kui, and he is Hua Aimei's distant uncle. He just knows me and knows that I am Ah Mei's fiancé, but he definitely doesn't know my identity as 'Hua Mei'. He may know Ah Mei's identity. But he said he came from his hometown, so could he be from Nanchang?"
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and said in surprise, "Hua Kui! Codename: Mountain Cat. I will go home and send a message to confirm immediately. You wait for my message in the office. Don't let Yang Jiang and others get close to him."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! But you are not cooperating now? Why are you still doing this?"
"The White Party is determined to destroy us!"
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and said coldly.
He called Gan Rong, Li Tong and Kong Kong on the first floor, and drove to No. 9 Yihe Road together.
Now that he knew that the Japanese spies were planning to assassinate him, he still wanted to bring more people with him in case of emergency.
Xiang Chu handed the two small bags of gold bars to Li Tong and Kong Kong and instructed:
"Li Tong! Kong Kong! Tomorrow you two go back to the Taoist temple and the Buddhist temple and bring the gold bar back."
"it is good!"
Li Tong and Kong Kong said excitedly.
Xiang Chu handed Gan Rong two gold bars and said with a smile:
"Gan Rong! If you need help, just use it."
Gan Rong waved his hand and said, "Chief! I don't need it."
"You are a miserable person, take it."
Xiang Chu forced it on him without giving him any chance to explain.
Soon, a car carrying four people arrived at the villa on Yihe Road.
Guihua opened the door, Xiang Chu drove into the courtyard, and said, "You go into the living room and have some tea. I'll go upstairs to do something and then come down. It may take a long time."
Gan Rong smiled and said, "No hurry! I can help you check the Feng Shui of this house."
Li Tong also said: "Yes! Junior Master, I can help you too. I am quite good at this."
"Okay! Kong Kong, come in and have some tea."
Xiang Chu gave an order and hurried into the house.
He took the radio out of the attic, brought it to the bedroom, turned it on, and sent a message back home:
"Please confirm whether Hua Kui 'Mountain Cat' was introduced to Warehouse No. 19 at Shimonoseki Wharf by the organization or 'Peacock'? Waiting for a reply? Agent No. 99."
The telegram was sent and the reply was received.
Xiang Chu turned the radio knob to the receiving position, walked to the balcony window and looked outside.
The curtains in the villa opposite seemed to move. Someone must have been watching here and was worried about being discovered by him.
Xiang Chu couldn't help but wonder, "Did Lin Qiaoer lie to me? Did she arrange for someone else to monitor me?"
At this time, the radio signal sounded.
Xiang Chu hurried into the bedroom, copied the message, and translated it, showing:
"Hua Kui has been away from the organization for many years. The organization has not introduced anyone to Warehouse No. 19 at Xiaguan Wharf. Yu Niansheng has been missing for many days. If conditions permit, please find his whereabouts. Take care!"
Xiang Chu immediately replied that he had received the message, turned off the radio station, and lit the telegram paper.
Then he quickly hid the radio, opened the window, walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and watched Gan Rong and Li Tong check the Feng Shui.
His heart was in turmoil. Besides the suppression and retaliation from the group that purchased the equipment, there was also Kang Ce, who he knew was a Japanese spy but could not expose him.
There were also assassinations from the Japanese Special High Section, as well as unidentified people such as Hua Kui and Lin Qiaoer lurking around him and in his warehouse.
Needless to say, this is the most difficult moment!
