The night is already very deep. 【】 There is silence among the begonias in the revolving door.
Zuo Shaoqing and Du Ziyuan, two lovers who have been in love for many years, sit face to face, but it is difficult to express their feelings. There seems to be an insurmountable mountain between them.
Du Ziyuan finally said: "Fengying, Fengying, I want to ask, can we start again? Just like in Luofengling, start again. Do you know? I have been very sad these days, we are going to win
At that time, our relationship has reached this state. I am not willing to accept it, and I want to start over."
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him with a slight smile on her face and tears in her eyes. When she spoke, her voice was trembling, "Ziyuan, I don't know, I really don't know. It may be difficult..."
Du Ziyuan stared at her, "Fengying, I have thought carefully about it. We did not do anything wrong. Some things are a last resort. Some things are a price, a price that has to be paid. We can completely start over."
Zuo Shaoqing shook her head. She finally took out the letter left by her sister from her pocket and placed it in front of Du Ziyuan.
Du Ziyuan picked up the letter and read it several times. He slowly put down the letter in his hand and lowered his head deeply. He understood that between him and Zuo Shaoqing, except for one person whose whereabouts are currently unknown,
You Shaoqing also has an unborn child! He knows Zuo Shaoqing's personality very well, and he also knows how much she loves her sister. For her sister, she will give up anything.
He raised his head and saw that Zuo Shaoqing's eyes were filled with tears, shining brightly under the light.
She said softly: "Ziyuan, if you can find my sister, I can promise you anything."
Du Ziyuan was speechless and just stared at her sadly.
Zuo Shaoqing wiped away his tears and said, "Ziyuan, let's not talk about this. I have received news that our two offices may have to leave soon. I don't know whether it will be before Wang Zhenqing's uprising or after. So, I can't move now.
You should urge Wang Zhenqing to take action as soon as possible. You can't wait any longer, otherwise, something may happen to him."
Du Ziyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Zuo Shaoqing added: "I just got news that the warships from Shanghai will arrive in Nanjing in the next few days and may block the river. If that happens, it will be very difficult to cross the river. You have to think of a way for him."
Du Ziyuan looked away from her, "I know, I will make arrangements."
However, the next day, Zuo Shaoqing received bad news that Wang Zhenqing was in danger again.
On the morning of the next day, Zhang Yalan has been busy in the office. The Ministry of National Defense has been notified that it will evacuate Nanjing in the near future. The male and female officers in the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense are busy sorting out the documents and packing the boxes.
Zhang Yalan kept putting things in the cabinet into boxes, and she was sweating all over. Before lunch, she took a breath and went to the bathroom to wash her face.
The other male and female officers were all chatting and laughing in groups as they walked to the canteen together. Zhang Yalan walked alone at the end.
In the cafeteria, she packed a meal, sat alone in a place with people, and ate in silence.
Fu Huaizhen came over with food, sat down opposite her, and looked at her with concern.
People around Zhang Yalan whispered: "Huaizhen, everyone else is staying away from me, why are you coming here?"
Fu Huaizhen grinned, "I can't care about them, I have no conscience at all. I don't care about those people, just ignore them. You eat, you eat."
Zhang Yalan looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
Fu Huaizhen shook his head, "It's okay. It's already like this, what else can happen? They are just busy holding a military meeting tomorrow. You talk about it, it's easy to talk, right?"
Zhang Yalan was stunned for a moment, "A military meeting? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Fu Huaizhen curled his lips and said, "It's just a lie. It's a military meeting. Those people have no conscience. They actually want to arrest people! And they're keeping it secret."
Zhang Yalan couldn't help but ask, "Arrest people? Arrest who? Arrest them here?"
Fu Huaizhen said: "This is it. Our Ministry of National Defense has almost become a police station. I heard that Wang Anguo, commander of the 45th Army, Wang Zhenqing, commander of the 97th Division, and Qin Qizhi, deputy commander-in-chief of the Garrison Command
, and there are some people, I can’t remember. Anyway, they are all related to the Communist Party." After Fu Huaizhen said these words, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yalan attentively.
Zhang Yalan was surprised. She vaguely felt that Fu Huai really wanted to tell her the news. However, she did not know which of these people had anything to do with underground organizations. But she realized that this might be a very serious situation. However,
What could she do? She knew that she was being closely monitored and didn't know what to do to pass on the news.
At this time, a female officer came over with a smile and sat down at the table, "Hey, what are you two talking about? It's such a lively chat, tell me."
Fu Huaizhen glanced at her, raised his chin, and walked away with his rice bowl in hand.
The female officer looked at his back, curled her lips and said, "What's so great about this guy? He's so arrogant. Yalan, really, what are you talking about? Tell me."
Zhang Yalan stared at her blankly, and suddenly said loudly: "What are you talking about? What else can we say? Isn't it that the Communist Army has already reached the Yangtze River? What's so strange about this? Who doesn't know this? You
Just wait, the Communist army will cross the Yangtze River in a few days, can you run away?"
The noisy cafeteria suddenly became quiet. The female officer looked at her and was completely stunned. The officers at the other tables also turned their heads and looked this way in surprise.
Zhang Yalan's voice became louder, "What are you and I doing? Am I wrong? The Communist Army is about to attack. None of you can escape, no one can escape! Just wait, sooner or later I will have to settle accounts with you. Let me tell you
, Nanjing can’t be saved! It’s useless no matter where you run, you can’t save it anywhere!”
At this time, two officers came over and stared at her. Seeing that she was still yelling, they grabbed her arms, lifted her up, and dragged her outside.
Zhang Yalan was crying and shouting, "What's the point of arresting me? The Communist Army will still come over..."
She was finally dragged out of the mess hall by the two officers. The officers in the mess hall all lowered their heads while eating, as if they didn't hear anything.
Zhang Yalan's shouting in the cafeteria of the Ministry of National Defense was immediately reported to Liu Qiuyue by the person who monitored her. Liu Qiuyue did not dare to delay and immediately reported it to Zuo Shaoqing.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing was sorting out documents in the office. People in the second office have been notified to pack their things as soon as possible and prepare to evacuate Nanjing.
She raised her head and looked at Liu Qiuyue with some surprise, "Is this Zhang Yalan crazy? She is yelling like this. She is really desperate!"
Liu Qiuyue whispered: "Young Master, I feel like something is wrong with Zhang Yalan?"
Zuo Shaoqing stared at her and felt the same way in her heart. She asked, "Where is she?"
Liu Qiuyue said: "I heard that she is now locked up in the confinement room of the Ministry of National Defense. They don't seem to know what to do with her. They are in chaos now."
Zuo Shaoqing said, "Go and get the person out, and let's interrogate what's going on." She thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'll go too. You go and drive a car."
Liu Qiuyue first went to Zhao Minggui and asked for an arrest warrant for Zhang Yalan.
Zhao Minggui looked at her very doubtfully, "Zhang Yalan? Why?"
Liu Qiuyue explained: "We got a report that this Zhang Yalan was yelling in the cafeteria of the Ministry of National Defense, saying that the Communist army was about to cross the Yangtze River. Now she was locked up by the gendarmerie. The young master asked to bring her back,
Check it out."
Although Zhao Minggui was confused, he could not refuse. This was the responsibility of the Secrecy Bureau. He quickly completed the procedures.
In the evening of that day, Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue took the arrest warrant and went to the Military Police of the Ministry of National Defense to complete the handover procedures. They took Zhang Yalan out of the solitary room and took her to the car outside.
Along the way, Zhang Yalan lowered her head, only occasionally glancing at Zuo Shaoqing beside her. Zuo Shaoqing was walking forward motionless. Liu Qiuyue, who was driving, saw Zuo Shaoqing's expression in the reflector from time to time.
Liu Qiuyue was smart and meticulous. She finally said carefully: "Young Master, we can't go back in time for dinner. I'll go down and buy some food."
Zuo Shaoqing stared at her and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Liu Qiuyue stopped the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and left.
Outside Zuo Shaoqing's car, he looked back at Zhang Yalan and said, "What's the matter with you, shouting in the cafeteria?"
Zhang Yalan immediately turned back to her and said, "That's right. When I was eating, Fu Huaizhen told me that there would be a military meeting tomorrow morning. But I didn't hear about it in the office. He said that there would be a military meeting.
It's false. The main purpose is to arrest people. There are Wang Anguo, commander of the 45th Army, Wang Zhenqing, commander of the 97th Division, and Qin Qizhi, deputy commander-in-chief of the Garrison Command. There are also some people he can't remember. I feel like
, he told me on purpose. I didn’t know if the news was useful or not, and I couldn’t inform Lao Du, so I had no choice but to do it, hoping to attract your attention.”
Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "The situation you mentioned is very important and timely. Among the people to be arrested, there are indeed people we have contacted. I will solve this matter."
Zhang Yalan breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there really one of our people inside?"
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Yes. Let's do this. I'll take you to the Army Prison. There are more than 40 prisoners in Area A, all of whom are our comrades. One of them, Lao Zhang, is the person in charge. You tell me when you go in
He told them not to act rashly and to do whatever they were told. People outside are trying to rescue these comrades."
Zhang Yalan nodded vigorously, "Yes, I understand, I will definitely tell Lao Zhang."
Zuo Shaoqing smiled at her and said, "Let me tell you, Gao Maolin is also there, and you will see him."
Zhang Yalan opened her mouth in surprise, "Really, that's great. Thank you."
Zuo Shaoqing held her hand and said, "I should thank you. I didn't expect you to be such a strong person and be able to withstand such a severe punishment. You protected Huaishu and many other comrades.
including me."
"However, I almost killed you." Zhang Yalan smiled sheepishly.
"You don't need to say anything, I know. Remember to tell your comrades in prison not to act rashly."
"I've remembered it and will definitely pass it on."
At this time, Liu Qiuyue came back with a large paper bag of hot buns in both hands, "Young Master, eat some."
Zuo Shaoqing handed the bun to Zhang Yalan, "You can eat some too."
Zhang Yalan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
Liu Qiuyue looked at them in the reflector and said, "Young Master, shall we go back?"
Zuo Shaoqing pointed back, "Turn around and send her to the army prison."
