Security team captain's room.

Wu Jingrong was sitting on a chair, opposite him was the wounded and captured Maizi.

For this Communist prisoner, Wu Jingrong planned to mainly induce him to surrender. If he could place an informant in the Dagu detachment, it would be very helpful to grasp the movements of this armed force.

Although the Dagu detachment is small in number, it has extremely strong maneuverability. If they are allowed to cause damage in the rear, it is not an option.

Mai Zi’s name is Gu Mai Zi, and he is a scout of the Dagu detachment. Because of his outstanding marksmanship, he was sent to participate in the rescue of Wang Xuelin.

"Sir, can you give me a sip of water? I'm dying of thirst." Gumai licked his chapped lips.

Wu Jingrong said nothing and motioned to the agent to pour water.

The agent picked up the teapot on the table and poured Gumai a cup of tea. The tea had been brewing for a while and was now just warm and cool.

Gu Xiaomai took the tea bowl, tested the temperature with his mouth, drank it all in one gulp, smashed it in his mouth, and said, "It really quenches my thirst."

Wu Jingrong smiled and said, "It's fair to think that you still have time to drink water at this time."

Gumai said nonchalantly: "I have a big scar on my head, so I can't be a thirsty ghost!"

"There are ghosts who have died of hunger, ghosts who have died unjustly, and ghosts who have been hanged. This is the first time I have heard of ghosts who have died of thirst." Wu Jingrong said with a laugh.

"I'm dead if I can't drink water, I'm just thirsty...Sir, what's that?" There are many decorations in the captain's room, and everything Gumai looks at feels fresh.

Wu Jingrong's attitude was kind. Not only did he not blow his beard and stare at the torture device, he was also very polite to himself, which made Gu Xiaomai feel relaxed.

He also thought about it, the worst he could do was to die, so he didn't have to worry about following his temper and just say whatever he wanted.

Following the direction of Gu Xiaomai's finger, Wu Jingrong turned around and saw that it was a gramophone on the table, so he said, "This is a gramophone, haven't you seen it?"

Gumai shook his head and said, "Is it the kind that can sing?"

"certainly."

Wu Jingrong returned his hand and put the needle on the record, and the room immediately resounded with the babbling sound of water: "...Mother gave birth to a son with flesh and blood, and the son traveled thousands of miles. The mother is worried. The son misses the mother, and it is difficult to kowtow. The mother misses the son and sheds tears.

Shuangliu, seeing the red sun setting behind the Western Mountains, called for help and turned the shop in!"

Gumai listened very attentively, tears slowly flowing down her cheeks.

Wu Jingrong found it strange that a rough man who seemed illiterate could actually understand the play, and asked: "Why are you crying?"

Gu Xiaomai wiped away her tears and said with a choked sob: "My mother likes to listen to "Three Stores" the most. Every time she goes to the city, she will stand at the door and listen to which store sings "Three Stores"..."

"Oh...are you a local?" Wu Jingrong understood. Gu Xiaomai had listened to it a lot since he was a child, so he could naturally understand the meaning of the opera.

Gumai nodded and said, "It's from Xinjiadian."

"Besides your mother, who else is in the family?"

"...It's gone, it's all gone."

"Looking at how young you are, your parents are only in their forties. Are they gone?"

"Two years ago, little devils put poison gas bombs in the village. My father, mother and two younger sisters..." Gumai's eyes were red, and he choked and couldn't speak anymore.

At that time, the Japanese army sent plainclothes teams to raid the Pingjin guerrillas hiding in Xinjiadian. During the firefight, the plainclothes teams used poison gas bombs, resulting in the death of many people in the village.

Gumai was not at home at the time and escaped the disaster.

After listening to Gu Xiaomai's story, Wu Jingrong sighed and said: "You are a poor man, it is not easy to survive in troubled times... Gu Xiaomai, how long have you been following Cao Yunfei?"

"Almost a year."

"Do you know your crime?"

Gu Xiaomai shook his head. Although he knew that the matter was serious, he really couldn't explain what crime he could be charged with. Anyway, he knew that being caught would be bad.

In fact, during this rescue operation, except for Liu Deli, Lao Xiao and Dafa, no one else even knew Wang Xuelin's real name.

It's not that he deliberately concealed it, but there was no need to tell them. Liu Deli did this because he didn't want to affect Wang Xuelin's family.

"Armed attacks on law enforcement agencies and killing government soldiers. For these two crimes, you don't even have to go to court. You can just pull them out on the street and shoot them!" Wu Jingrong said casually.

Gumai didn't care. He had thought beforehand that if he was caught, he would definitely have a narrow escape.

Wu Jingrong looked at him for a while and said, "Do you want to live?"

Gumai's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there was a chance to survive, so he immediately said: "Of course I want to."

"If you want to survive, you must listen to me. I can tell you responsibly that only I can save your life here!"

"You say."

"I will let you go back, and you will continue to stay under Cao Yunfei and be my insider."

"You are...you want me to go back and be a spy?" Gumai's eyes widened.

Wu Jingrong nodded and said, "That's right, we call them spies!" Gu Maimai thought for a while, his head shaking like a rattle, and said, "No, no, I won't do it. If Captain Cao finds out, he will definitely

You can’t skin me!”

Wu Jingrong said: "I feel pity for you, and I want to leave you a way to survive, so that your family will not be extinct. Since you don't want to do it, forget it...someone, pull Gumai out and rectify the law on the spot!"

"Wait. Wait, sir, let me think about it..."

"I'm very busy and don't have time to think about it with you!"

Gumai scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Sir, if you let me go back, are you not afraid that I will change my mind?"

Wu Jingrong smiled and said: "I must be afraid. So, if you are willing to be my spy, you must show your loyalty. Only in this way will I let you go back!"

"How do you show your loyalty?"

"Your accomplices are imprisoned in the cell, and you go and kill them. This is a sign of loyalty!"

Gu Maimai thought to himself, those two people were obviously dead. What did the officer named Wu mean?

Wu Jingrong said: "I won't force you. If you want to die or live, it's up to you! Someone, bring him over!"

“Tuk-tuk!”

As soon as Gumai was taken away, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Come in."

Wang Xinrui pushed open the door and came to Wu Jingrong, saying respectfully: "Uncle, are you looking for me?"

"What did Wang Xuelin say?" Wu Jingrong looked slightly tired.

The journey from Yanjin to Jingxian was non-stop, with almost no rest. It lasted until midnight. He was also a man who was running for fifty, and felt that his body was a little overwhelmed.

"He said... we need to think about it."

"Xinrui, you have to work harder tonight and have a good chat with Wang Xuelin. If you can win him over, you will be the first to do it! What we are worried about will no longer exist. We can even report it to the superiors.
