Chapter 221 Poisoning
Dai Nong scolded: "Xiang Chu is now a top-class pilot, can he be sent?"
Kang Ce sneered, "What a lousy special pilot. In order to uphold justice, he has offended all the senior officials of the Equipment Department and the Air Force. Those people threatened not to let him touch the plane anymore."
"Yeah?!"
Dai Nong suddenly became excited and felt that the opportunity to control Xiang Chu had come again.
Kang Ce is now pursuing a female officer with great expense, and he is short of money, so he said with a smile:
"Brother-in-law! Can you give me some of that one million dollars?"
Dai Nong said coldly: "Do you want to go to Dalian?"
"No! Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Kang Ce ran away in a hurry.
Dai Nong couldn't help but wonder: "This Kang Ce is so different now, could he be a Japanese spy?"
At this time, Xiang Chu had returned to the office.
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly followed in, closed the door, and said angrily:
"Leader! The White Party has attacked our comrades again."
Xiang Chu poured a glass of water for him and himself, and motioned for him to sit down and talk slowly.
Liu Zhengxiong drank a glass of water and whispered:
"Yang Jiang came to me just now and said that two comrades on their line were assassinated."
"Assassination?!"
Xiang Chu was surprised and paused.
"They don't even want to catch him now, they just assassinate him?"
Liu Zhengxiong said bitterly: "They didn't ask any questions and just started shooting. Do you think it was done by the 'Fifth Column'?"
Xiang Chu slammed the desk hard and said angrily:
"It must be! Today, the 'Fifth Column' held a meeting at the secret base in Purple Mountain. It must be to plan the assassination."
Liu Zhengxiong gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect they were still using the 'better to kill three thousand people by mistake than to let one person escape' tactic."
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and ordered, "Tell Yang Jiang to have all his comrades lie dormant. I will find a way to eliminate the strongholds of the 'Fifth Column' and kill as many as possible."
Liu Zhengxiong said hurriedly: "Leader! I'll go with you."
“I haven’t figured out how to do it yet.”
Xiang Chu shook his head, thought for a moment and said,
"Inform our operations department that if you can eat outside at noon, then eat outside. If you can't, go to the canteen and cook and eat now. Anyway, you can't let Kang Ce, the Japanese spy, harm you."
Liu Zhengxiong opened his eyes wide in shock and asked anxiously: "Since you know Kang Ce is a Japanese spy, why don't you arrest him?"
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "His brother-in-law is a farmer, and I don't have any definite evidence."
"Ah?! That's really hard to catch."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and paused. He suddenly remembered something and said anxiously,
"Oh, right! Xiaowan will be arriving at the train station soon. Go pick her up. I'll go notify Yang Jiang."
Having said that, he slipped away with a sly smile on his face.
Xiang Chu shouted, "Just find trouble for me!"
Having said that, Xiang Chu immediately drove to the train station, thinking all the way that he must explain clearly to Yu Xiaowan this time that he could no longer accept her since he already had Ning Caiwei, so as not to waste her youth.
When he arrived at the train station, Yu Xiaowan was standing at the exit dressed in mourning, with tears in her eyes.
People coming and going at the train station all looked at the stunningly beautiful woman who was attending a funeral.
Xiang Chu felt a lump in his throat and tears almost came out of his eyes. He stopped the car in a hurry.
He hurriedly got out of the car, walked to her side, took the white suitcase from her hand, and said in a low voice:
"Xiao Wan! Get in the car."
"Ok!"
Yu Xiaowan nodded with tears in her eyes.
Xiang Chu waited for her to get in the car, drove to Qixia Mountain, handed her Yu Niansheng's suicide note, and sighed:
"Xiao Wan! Your father has nothing else on him except this suicide note hidden under his shoe that was not searched by the White Party agents. Alas!"
"Did father write his suicide note?"
Yu Xiaowan took it with trembling hands, crying as she read it, like a tearful person, truly pitiful.
Xiang Chu consoled and encouraged her, "Xiao Wan! Your father was shot ten times but he would rather die than surrender. He didn't utter a single word. He was an extremely determined proletarian fighter. You should be proud of him and turn your grief into strength."
"Ok!"
Yu Xiaowan nodded heavily, wiped away her tears, and silently put away the suicide note.
Xiang Chu stopped the car at a shop on the street, bought some sacrificial items with her, and then headed straight to the south of Qixia Mountain.
The two of them were silent, and an hour later, they arrived at Yu Niansheng's grave.
"father--!"
Yu Xiaowan rushed to Yu Niansheng's grave and burst into tears.
Xiang Chu placed sacrificial offerings, lit candles and burned incense.
He suddenly thought that Yu Xiaowan was raised by Yu Niansheng and would be an orphan in the future.
In this way, I can't hurt her anymore, and some things should be left to be clarified later.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xiaowan finally stood up and stood side by side with Xiang Chu in front of the tombstone.
She changed the address and said tearfully, "Brother Chu! Thank you for setting up this monument for Dad."
"Your uncle Liu did it."
Xiang Chu said helplessly, paused, and changed the subject.
"Xiao Wan! Your father was followed and discovered by a traitor named Hua Kui, who is also a member of the White Party's 'Fifth Column'."
"Hua Kui?"
Yu Xiaowan was surprised, thought about it, and said bitterly,
"I met this man when I was a child. He was my father's best friend. I didn't expect him to betray me."
"Have you seen me?"
Xiang Chu was shocked and said anxiously,
"You can't stay in Nanjing. You have to go back to Shanghai immediately."
"Yes! There's a lot to do in the hospital. I have to go back right away."
Yu Xiaowan nodded, and couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, crying,
"Brother Chu! Thank you for having you."
In front of Yu Niansheng's tomb, Xiang Chu couldn't bear to push her away, so he just let her hold him quietly.
After a long time, the two got back in the car and drove towards Nanjing Railway Station.
Xiang Chu instructed: "If Hua Kui finds you, you should say you don't know him..."
Yu Xiaowan interrupted him and said, "I told you I'm your woman, try to touch me."
"Fine!"
Xiang Chu nodded helplessly.
An hour later, the jeep arrived at the train station.
He bought her a train ticket back to Shanghai and walked her to the train door.
Yu Xiaowan whispered in his ear:
"Brother Chu! When you return to Shanghai, I will apply to the organization to marry you."
After saying this, she picked up her suitcase, turned around and ran onto the train.
"Don't--"
Xiang Chu suddenly felt that he was in big trouble, and cried out in his heart,
"The revolutionary situation is so serious, why get married?"
Shanghai, the Japanese Special High Section.
Awei Wenzhi held the telegram in his hand and said unhappily: "Ms. Yunzi! Who asked 'Fatty' to poison the officers' mess at the China Military Intelligence Department? This is too easy to be exposed."
Takeshita Yunzi said anxiously, "Head! It's Yunzi. Yunzi wants to check whether 'Fatty' has really decided to serve us."
Awei Wenzhi's face turned better, and he said with a smile: "You did a very good job. After careful consideration, this section chief still wants 'Fatty' to directly assassinate China's ace agent Xiang Chu instead of assassinating some small fish and shrimps.
As long as Xiang Chu is alive, I will not be able to sleep or eat peacefully."
Takeshita Yunzi nodded and said, "I understand! I will arrange it right away."
"Very good! Go ahead."
Awei Wenzhi nodded with satisfaction.
Nanjing, Military Intelligence Department.
Kang Ce had his own radio in the office and soon received orders from Takeshita Yunko.
He had this intention in mind and knew that Xiang Chu was not in the office, so he immediately went to the third floor of the Operations Department.
He pretended to come to visit, walked to the door of Xiang Chu's office, knocked gently, and shouted:
"Deputy Section Chief Xiang! Are you there?"
There was no response from inside, so Kang Ce took out the spare key he had stolen from Dainong and opened the door.
He quickly went to the thermos, poured the highly toxic powder into it, shook it, and hurried out.
When walking out of the office building, Gan Rong was still teasing the little monkey at the door, and Xiang Chu was just coming back from outside.
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Chief Kang! Why are you here?"
Kang Ce covered it up and said, "It's okay! Come and talk to Liu Zhengxiong."
After saying this, he walked away with a swagger, feeling extremely happy, thinking to himself:
"Mr. Xiang! You will soon meet the King of Hell."
