Chapter 390: Unpredictable Life and Death, Unknown Return Date

Political Department, Song Xi's office.

Song Xi smiled and said, "Xiang Chu! I decided to use the cave we found last night."

Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Very good! It feels quite memorable."

"You must be imagining things."

Song Xi said coquettishly and brought him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you!"

Xiang Chu took the coffee and said with emotion,

"I am so happy here! I don't miss Hong Kong or Shanghai."

Song Xi suggested: "Why don't you just stay with me and don't leave."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "There is such a big business out there, and there are many brothers in the 'Fifth Column Group'. I still want to repay your kindness."

Song Xi said angrily: "Repaying me means marrying me in the end. I don't care about other sisters."

She said this openly, then came to her senses, covered her face and ran into the office.

"It seems that you have the will but not the courage to do it!"

Xiang Chu deliberately shouted towards the office inside, picked up the phone and called Dai Nong, saying with a smile:

"Director! In order to eliminate the two Japanese spies who escaped from Chongqing, I made a special trip to Gele Mountain yesterday afternoon and eliminated the Japanese spy leader Kuriya Kenzaburo and another Japanese spy."

Dai Nong said excitedly, "Brother Xiang! That's great. Now we can make a closing report. Haha!"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "I'm going back to Shanghai soon. If you have anything to ask, please ask Section Chief Jiang to send me a telegram."

"Okay! Now that the military intelligence stations in the enemy-occupied areas have been wiped out, the intelligence network has been paralyzed. We can only rely on you."

Dai Nong said happily, paused, and lowered his voice,

"Brother Xiang! Commander Lin is investigating who killed Lin Junhao. It wasn't you, was it?"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Director! I have been so busy these past few days, how can I have the time to spare?"

Dai Nong sneered, "It's good that the bad guy is dead. I have already framed a Japanese spy."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "What a clever move!"

Dai Nong whispered, "The Japanese spy who was captured at Feixian Pass in Gele Mountain wanted to die. He has no use to us anyway, so I am happy to let him be a scapegoat for us."

Needless to say, he still believed that it was Xiang Chu who killed Lin Junhao.

"Yes! Very good."

Xiang Chu praised, and paused.

"Director! I have to keep Liu Zhengxiong and the 'Fifth Column' with me at all times. Please keep it a secret for me."

Dai Nong smiled and said, "Secretary Song has sent out the top-secret documents. I will give you as many people as you want."

Xiang Chu said gratefully: "Thank you, Director!"

Dai Nong said earnestly, "Brother Xiang! You should really thank Secretary Song. Do it when the time comes, and don't let her be married to another man."

Song Xi's roar came from the phone:

"Dainong! Why are you so mean?"

"Ah! Is your phone on? Sorry!"

Dai Nong exclaimed and hung up the phone in panic.

Xiang Chu also hung up the phone in a hurry, raised his hands to Song Xi who was coming angrily, and said with a smile: "Sister Xi! It's really none of my business."

Song Xi twisted his ear and shouted angrily:

"It seems that you have the will but not the courage to do it!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Song Xi hurriedly let go and walked into the inner room.

Ning Caiwei walked in and said with a wry smile, "Brother Chu! My uncle called and said that a cargo ship of Shanqing Group was intercepted by Japanese warships on the way to Shantou and was detained at sea."

Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Aren't we just transporting the supplies to Guangzhou? Why are we going to Shantou?"

Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know? Just ask my uncle."

"Okay! You sit down first."

Xiang Chu nodded, picked up the phone and called Ning Changde to inquire about the situation.

Ning Changde said bitterly, "Xiao Xiang! I have learned that the Shanqing Group's cargo ship changed its destination to Shantou to carry a shipload of contraband for Director Liu, and two soldiers disguised themselves as crew members and insulted the Japanese warship."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "I am really impressed. Can you do something good for the country and the nation?"

Ning Changde advised: "Xiao Xiang! Director Liu has begged me, please think of a solution for your uncle's sake."

Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Okay! I'll find a way."

Ning Caiwei saw him hang up the phone and asked, "Brother Chu! Is this freighter yours?"

"Yes!"

Xiang Chu nodded, paused, and said thoughtfully,

"I have to go back to Hong Kong and Shanghai, otherwise something terrible will happen."

"Are you going?"

Ning Caiwei and Song Xi said in unison.

Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Yes! I really didn't know that Director Liu of the Quartermaster Bureau would cause me such a big mess."

At this moment, the radio in the inner room rang.

Song Xi hurried back to the inner room to copy and translate the message:

"Sister Xi! Something happened to the Shanqing Group's cargo ship. Tell Xiang Chu to hurry back to Hong Kong. Manxue!"

Song Xi handed the telegram to Xiang Chu and asked doubtfully:

"Where is Manxue?"

Xiang Chu took the message and responded: "Hong Kong! I asked her to be in charge of the affairs of Shanqing Group."

"what?!"

Song Xi and Ning Caiwei exclaimed.

"Manxue was kicked out of the house by her parents. She taught at Hong Kong University to survive. When I went to Hong Kong to crack down on gangs, I happened to see her and a group of female students being chased by gangs on the street..."

Xiang Chu simply recounted how he met Wang Manxue in Hong Kong.

Then he went into the inner room and sent a telegram: "Manxue! I will return to Hong Kong tomorrow."

Song Xi said to Ning Caiwei, "Caiwei! Hong Kong is so big, but Xiang Chu actually met the down-and-out Wang Manxue. Do you think it's fate?"

Ning Caiwei knew what she was thinking and said with a wry smile: "Yes!"

The radio station was quite lively today. Before Xiang Chu even walked out of the inner room, it started to play again.

Wang Manxue sent another message: "Xiang Chu! Nan Zao Yunzi asked through the radio station of the Xiaowan freighter, when will you return to Shanghai and how will you reply to her?"

Xiang Chu was so shocked that he quickly called back: "Manxue! Just say three days later."

Both Hong Kong and Shanghai urged Xiang Chu to leave Chongqing.

Song Xi waited for Ning Caiwei to leave the office, then immediately threw herself into Xiang Chu's arms, saying reluctantly:

"Xiang Chu! I can't bear to see you leave Chongqing and go to a place full of devils."

Xiang Chu patted her shoulders lightly and said with a wry smile: "It can't be helped! Who made us live in this war-torn era?"

Song Xi stared into his eyes and said solemnly: "Promise me! You must come back alive."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! I will come back to repay my sister!"

"Repay me by marrying me in the end!"

Song Xi said quietly, tears streaming down her face.

"it is good!"

Xiang Chu didn't dare to refuse her and just nodded.

The sun sets and the moon shines on the small building.

At the foot of Lihua Mountain, firecrackers were set off.

Ning Caiwei wore a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, while Xiang Chu wore a Tang suit.

At Jiang Mei's request, they got married with their child.

Apart from the six relatives of the Ning family, there was no other outsider.

Ning Changde presided over the meeting and shouted with a choked voice:

"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, and then send them to the bridal chamber. The ceremony is over!"

Jiang Mei couldn't help shedding tears. Ning Changde's wife comforted her, "Sister-in-law! This is how being an agent works. You know, Changde and I got married secretly, without even a ceremony."

Ning Changde smiled bitterly and said, "I have offended too many people, and it is easy to bring disaster to my wife and children."

Jiang Mei nodded and said, "They got married with a baby, which saved me a lot of worries. In these war-torn years, it's not easy for people to survive. When your brother comes back, we'll do the same thing for Buqu and Yui."

"it is good!"

Ning Buqu said happily.

The next morning, on the road across the Coral Dam Airport Floating Bridge.

Ning Caiwei, Ning Buqu and Jieyi see Xiang Chu off.

Ning Caiwei stopped at the 322nd step and said tearfully:

"Brother Chu! Take care on your journey."

"Okay! Take care of you and the child!"

Xiang Chu nodded heavily.

Ning Buqu patted Xiang Chu's shoulder and comforted him:

"Brother-in-law! We will take good care of Caiwei."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! You have to play me more often, so that I will be safe."

Ning Buqu smiled bitterly and said, "It's too dangerous to play you. You have to pay more."

Yui gently scolded: "Shadow! Don't say that. Have you forgotten that your benefactor saved you?"

Ning Buqu laughed heartily and said, "It's just a joke, I will definitely play my role well!"

"Brother Chu! The children and I will wait for you to come home early."

Ning Caiwei pounced on him and hugged Xiang Chu tightly again, unwilling to let go for a long time.

After a long while, Xiang Chu walked down the 322 steps, crossed the floating bridge, and boarded the plane.

Ning Caiwei watched the plane disappear into the sky, knowing that he would face numerous difficulties and obstacles on his way out of Chongqing, and it was hard to predict his life or death, and it was hard to know when he would return...
