Chapter 219: From now on, we are strangers

But just as they walked out of the room, radio signals were heard from the radio room.

Kong Ling asked in confusion: "There's no one on duty? Wait for me."

After saying this, she ran into the radio room and quickly copied the telegram.

Xiang Chu was waiting for her at the door and watched her translate the message using the code book.

At this time, Xiao Xiao ran over, nodded to Xiang Chu, and rushed into the radio room.

Seeing Kong Ling deciphering the message, she said gratefully:

"Ms. Kong! Fortunately you are here, otherwise I would be scolded to death. By the way! What is the message?"

"This telegram is not urgent. Representatives of the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet North China Autonomous Region are gathering in Dalian for a meeting."

Kong Ling shook his head and gave her the translated message, specifically instructing her,

"Xiao Xiao! The radio room must be occupied. If you want to leave, you need to find someone to watch over you first."

Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Kang Ce from the Military Intelligence Department called me just now and insisted on sending me a gift."

Xiang Chu was shocked. He didn't expect that Kang Ce was such a dedicated Japanese spy that he even wanted to extend his tentacles here.

Kong Ling whispered: "He pursued you?"

Xiao Xiao glanced at Xiang Chu and whispered, "Yeah! But he's so fat and old, who would want to be with him?"

Xiang Chu said with a double meaning: "Lieutenant Xiao! You did the right thing. Don't have anything to do with Kang Ce, otherwise you will fall into an irretrievable situation."

Kong Ling and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but look at each other.

Kong Ling said angrily, "What do you mean by eternal damnation? Don't scare me like that."

"I really didn't scare you, let's go!"

Xiang Chu smiled and said that this was all he could say.

"Let's go! Xiao Xiao! Let's go."

Kong Ling greeted Xiao Xiao and followed Xiang Chu out of the secure door of the telecommunications office.

In order to conceal their tracks, the two men walked out of the Political Department gate one after the other.

Xiang Chu drove nearby and waited for Kong Ling to come over. He left immediately after she got in the car.

Kong Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Why do I feel like I'm stealing something?"

"Stealing hearts!"

Xiang Chu said without hesitation.

Kong Ling rubbed his head and scolded:

"Little pretty boy! He stole my heart."

"Thirteen o'clock!"

Xiang Chu's laughter and scolding brought even more violent retaliation.

"With this hair, I guess no one will be able to recognize me!"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly as he passed by the shengjian snack stand.

Kong Ling ordered: "Thirteen o'clock! Buy some food."

"Order!"

Xiang Chu hurriedly stopped the car, bought two packs of Shengjian (rice dumplings) and got in the car.

Kong Ling said as she ate: "Little white face! Do you know that Kang Ce is a Japanese spy or a Red Party member?"

Xiang Chu couldn't help but admire Kong Ling's judgment. He didn't want Kang Ce, the Japanese spy, to get in touch with the headquarters radio station through Xiao Xiao, so he nodded and said, "Yes! According to my analysis and judgment, he is a Japanese spy, but Dainong is his brother-in-law. I don't have definite evidence, and saying it would only bring trouble to myself."

Kong Ling nodded and said, "It is true that we cannot talk nonsense."

Half an hour later, Xiang Chu drove the jeep to the mountain village he and Wang Manxue had visited.

Kong Ling snorted coldly and said, "Huh! You look quite familiar here. Have you been here with Wang Manxue?"

“It seems like I’ve been here before!”

Xiang Chu said in a ambiguous tone.

Kong Ling scolded: "You! Stay away from Wang Manxue. Go!"

"Yeah! Stay away from her and stay close to you. Go!"

Xiang Chu nodded and put on a black wool coat.

Kong Ling said angrily, "You are wearing a coat while climbing a mountain."

"I'm afraid you'll be cold at the top of the mountain."

Xiang Chu said with concern, turning up his collar, looking extraordinarily handsome.

The two climbed up the mountain. Just when Xiang Chu thought she had forgotten to recite it, Kong Ling smiled and said:

"Little pretty boy! Where did you start to carry Wang Manxue on your back?"

"Halfway up the mountain!"

Xiang Chu deliberately talked nonsense.

Kong Ling shouted, "How dare you lie? Wang Manxue said she didn't even walk up or down the mountain. Hurry up and carry her on your back. I can't be worse than her."

"Why is Mr. Wang talking nonsense like this?"

Xiang Chu felt like crying but had no tears, so he had to carry her on his back obediently.

Not far away, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from behind.

Xiang Chu looked back and saw an open-top jeep climbing up the road below.

Kong Ling straightened his face and said, "Don't look! These people must be going to the secret cave in the mountain."

"Which unit are you from?"

Xiang Chu asked in confusion, and continued to move forward with her on his back.

Kong Ling said thoughtfully: "What column is it called?"

She seemed reluctant to talk and immediately changed the subject:

"Oh right! My family also has a cave in this mountain to store goods."

Xiang Chu asked for her opinion: "Do you want to go and inspect it?"

Kong Ling said anxiously: "Don't! If you run into my mother, you will be in complete trouble."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "There's no result for us anyway, so what's the big deal?"

Kong Ling said slowly, "Silly! That's not true. My mother has a very good eye for marriage. Only she can make the decision about my marriage. She absolutely forbids me to date men privately, not even to hold hands."

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we have already exceeded this limit a long time ago."

"So that's why I say sneaky."

Kong Ling smiled and hugged his neck unconsciously, looking very intimate.

Before he knew it, Xiang Chu carried her to the pavilion where he met Gan Rong last time, and the sound of a car engine was heard again on the road below.

Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Shall we take a rest in this pavilion?"

"it is good!"

Kong Ling jumped off his back, took his arm and walked into the pavilion.

Xiang Chu and she stood by the pavilion, looking at the road below.

The leaves were sparse, and I could see people in the open jeep below.

"Hua Kui?!"

Xiang Chu's heart trembled. He didn't expect to see this traitor again.

Many cars are driving up the mountain today, it feels like there is some kind of party going on.

The car drove up the hill, turned two corners, and disappeared.

Xiang Chu guessed that place should be an important stronghold of the "Fifth Column".

Kong Ling urged: "Hurry up and go up the mountain, otherwise you will miss work in the afternoon."

"I'm sure I won't make it in time."

Xiang Chu said thoughtfully, pulling her up the mountain.

Her physique was stronger than Wang Manxue's, and she climbed to the top of the mountain with him.

The two of them were looking at the scenery on the top of the mountain, looking at the bustling city of Nanjing.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Kong Ling shivered all over.

"Come on! Put it on quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Xiang Chu took off his woolen coat and put it on her, showing great care.

Kong Ling couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and threw herself into his arms, saying slowly: "Xiang Chu! If my parents agree, I will marry you no matter what."

"Your parents will never agree, so get down the mountain!"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, took her hand and walked down the mountain top.

"Carry me down the mountain!"

Kong Ling jumped onto his back.

"it is good!"

Xiang Chu carried her on his back and ran down the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

Kong Ling shouted loudly, and her charming voice echoed in the mountains and forests.

Unfortunately, when they reached the road at the foot of the mountain, a luxury car squeaked and suddenly stopped beside them.

A very majestic female voice sounded:

"Kong Ling! What are you doing?"

Kong Ling patted Xiang Chu's back and said anxiously:

"It's over! It's my mom, put me down now."

"what?!"

Xiang Chu felt that trouble was coming and quickly put her down.

The car door opened, and a lady over 40, dressed elegantly, got out of the car and stared at Xiang Chu.

Kong Ling stepped forward, took the middle-aged lady's arm, and said softly:

"Mom! We just climbed Purple Mountain. We didn't do anything else."

The middle-aged lady angrily said, "A man and a woman alone! Hugging each other! And you haven't done anything yet?"

Xiang Chu had seen all kinds of storms and said respectfully, "Hello, Madam!"

The middle-aged lady saw that he was indeed a handsome man, and it was no wonder that her daughter liked him. She asked coldly, "Which unit are you from? What's your position? What's your name?"

Xiang Chu was so surprised that he almost asked about his ancestors. He said calmly, "Madam! I am Xiang Chu, deputy chief of the Operations Section of the Military Intelligence Department."

Kong Ling quickly added: "Mom! He is a top-class pilot, an ace agent, and the 'Thousand-Faced Kui Brother' of Shanghai."

But the middle-aged lady was so angry that she shouted, "Even 'Wan Mian Kui Ge' is not allowed. Get in the car!"

Kong Ling said anxiously: "Mom! I have to go to work in the afternoon."

"Mom will take you to work."

The middle-aged lady scolded and pushed Kong Lingqiang into the car.

Finally, she pointed at Xiang Chu and shouted:

"Xiang Chu! You'd better stay away from my daughter, or you'll be in trouble."

After saying this, she got into the car angrily and slammed the door.

Her driver immediately started the engine and drove off down the mountain.

"It seems that a bad thing has turned into a good thing. Maybe Kong Ling and I will never see each other again."

Xiang Chu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart and quickly walked towards the small village at the foot of the mountain.

He wanted to drive up the mountain to see the stronghold of the "Fifth Column".
