At this time, the room was very quiet. The night wind before dawn flowed in, floating between Zuo Shaoqing and Mesi. "Why wait?" Zuo Shaoqing looked at him doubtfully.
Metz said softly: "There is no way now but to wait, wait patiently, until the situation changes."
"Can you tell me what changes will happen?"
"I'm telling you the truth, I really don't know. I feel like you can only wait."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell him that you can't help him now."[
"I really want to help him. But there is nothing I can do now. I can only wait."
"Okay, Mr. Mace, it's time for me to take my leave."
"Wait a minute," Metz grabbed her hand, "I have one more thing to ask you. Will you return to the mainland?"
"Mr. Mace, what do you mean?"
"Shaoqing, I still hope you can play a role. In other words, I need you to play a role on the other side of the strait."
"Mr. Mace, now, I can't go anywhere."
"Yes, I know. We can only wait and see the chance. It seems that you have to wait too."
When it was almost dawn, Zuo Shaoqing quietly left Mei Si's bedroom. Then, she told Ye Gongjin what Mei Si meant. She saw Ye Gongjin holding his head, shaking his head and sighing.
However, at the end of the autumn of 1956, both she and Ye Gongjin heard the news that Mao Renfeng was seriously ill. This news changed everything between them.
Ye Gongjin heard the news, nodded and said to Zuo Shaoqing: "Mr. Metz is right, we can only wait. Maybe, I will get through it, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. God bless, let this kind of
The days will pass quickly."
But Zuo Shaoqing gradually felt a chill in her heart, making her vaguely uneasy. As news continued to come that Mao Renfeng was seriously ill, Zuo Shaoqing understood that the recording that frightened Ye Gongjin would become more and more
It's not important, it may even be completely useless. Then I think about it again, will Ye Gongjin tell her where You Shaoqing is lurking at that time? Damn it, maybe he doesn't know at all!
However, the news that came later frightened Zuo Shaoqing, making her unable to sleep with fear every night.
At this time, people in both the Ministry of National Defense and the Intelligence Bureau had already started talking about Mao Renfeng's successor. From the news she heard, this successor might actually be Ye Gongjin. God! Zuo Shaoqing felt uneasy.
She knows that Mr. Jingguo, who holds great power, has been protecting Ye Gongjin as a bargaining chip in his game with Mao Renfeng. If Mr. Jingguo really lets Ye Gongjin take over as the director of the Intelligence Bureau, it is very likely to become a fact. God! Like this
As a result, Ye Gongjin might have seen that fatal recording in the top-secret archives of the Intelligence Bureau! He would have guessed that when Director Mao wanted to kill him, it was Zuo Shaoqing who gave the recording to Director Mao!
Then, if this is really the case, she will only die!
Zuo Shaoqing understood that she had to find a way to leave Taiwan, and the sooner the better!
In November 1956, everyone in the Intelligence Bureau system heard that Mao Renfeng was seriously ill and could be saved. And the news that Ye Gongjin might take over as the director of the Intelligence Bureau became more and more certain. Those who had never been in harmony with each other in the past
People who interacted with Ye Gongjin began to come to ask for advice. Many people who had never looked at Ye Gongjin before now had humility in their eyes when they saw Ye Gongjin.
The people from the Logistics Department of the Intelligence Bureau wanted to change Ye Gongjin to a better house, and said that this was also temporary. Ye Gongjin was very cautious and refused to change. He smiled and said to Zuo Shaoqing: "Shaoqing, if I leave
Here, there is no one to accompany you. You sing so well, I haven’t heard enough yet.”
Zuo Shaoqing smiled slightly, "Gong Jin, it seems that your fortune is really about to turn around."[
Ye Gongjin smiled slightly, his face glowing red, "Maybe, it's really possible."
"What about me? What should I do?" Zuo Shaoqing looked at him coldly.
Ye Gongjin laughed heartily, "Shaoqing, if things turn out differently, could I still treat you badly?" At this time, he slowly put away his smile, and stared at Zuo Shaoqing's face with his gloomy eyes like a hunting dog, "Shaoqing,
I have a request, I hope you understand it. Don’t contact there, definitely don’t contact them, I don’t agree with it.”
Zuo Shaoqing still maintained a cold smile, and his eyes seemed to have two needles piercing Ye Gongjin's eyes, "Gongjin, speaking of this matter, I have a suggestion. You should send me away and let me leave.
Taiwan."
Ye Gongjin looked at her, "Why?"
Zuo Shaoqing said softly: "Gongjin, I have been in Taiwan for seven years. You have not harmed me, and I have not harmed you. We have been here for seven years. Gongjin, I am worried that if something happens to me...
I don’t want to affect your future at this time. I really don’t want it.”
Ye Gongjin understood what she meant, and his eyes became stern, moving back and forth on Zuo Shaoqing's face.
In December of this year, Zuo Shaoqing and five others were secretly sent to the Cam Ranh Bay base by the Defense Intelligence Agency to join the U.S. Military Advisory Group as a civilian. Her mission was to provide training for the host country.
Intermediate and junior intelligence officers.
This was arranged by Ye Gongjin for her. Although he has not yet taken office, his words, suggestions, and personnel arrangements have already been listened to by many people.
At the end of December, Mao Renfeng died of illness at the age of fifty-six. In January of the following year, Ye Gongjin was appointed as the new director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense.
These are all past events. The past is like smoke!
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing was lying on the bed in the dormitory of the Cam Ranh Bay US military base, thinking about all this in detail. The past events made her sigh and regret. She was now very confused in her heart, could it be that Ye Gongjin was really in the intelligence agency?
Did you see the recording in the top-secret archives? He also guessed that she had harmed him back then? So now he sent someone to kill her? Although she was not sure, she felt that this possibility was very high.
But what happened to Ruan Qibo? It seemed to have some unclear relationship with her. Is it related? She was really not sure. Ruan Qibo was actually assassinated by Lieutenant Colonel McCann and Mace. Why did they
Want to assassinate Ruan Qibo? Is there any special purpose? She still couldn't figure it out.
Zuo Shaoqing suddenly sat up as if she was electrocuted. She took a photo. She took a photo of the killer shooting Ruan Qibo in front of Lieutenant Colonel McCann and Mace. Camera! Where is my camera!
She jumped out of bed and grabbed the canvas satchel hanging on the shelf. She took out the small and exquisite camera from the bag. After a minute, she took out the film from the camera and held it tightly in her hand.
She at least understands that this film is extremely important now. She believes that if this film is leaked out, it will cause huge waves in this country and will definitely involve Americans. On the other hand, she is certain that she will not
Spared.
She turned on the small lamp on the bedside table and stood in the room and looked around. She wanted to find a place to hide the film.
However, there is no place to hide the film in this room. If someone wanted to search this room, they would search every corner. Where can the film be hidden?
This film is very small, only as big as the tip of your little finger, and can only take ten pictures. However, it is difficult to hide.
She searched and walked into the bathroom, but there was still nowhere to hide. At this time, she noticed the soap placed in the soap box. This was a soap that had only been used for a few days, and the trademark indentation on the soap was still vaguely visible.
She took the soap to the table in the outhouse. After observing it carefully, she used a screwdriver to drill a hole in one end of the soap. Drilling was easy, but not easy without damaging the edge of the hole. She drilled a deep
After that, she found a medical rubber glove from the medicine cabinet and cut off her little finger. She put the film in her little finger and tied it carefully with a thread. Then she put it into the small hole of the soap.
She took another piece of the same soap from the bathroom, cut off a piece with a dagger, shaped it into a small plug, and inserted it into the small hole in the soap. She used the dagger to carefully smooth the plug, then walked to the sink and used her fingers to
Dip in a little water and carefully apply around the stopper. The stopper finally blends into the entire soap.[
The next thing she had to do was clean up the traces. She cut up the pair of medical gloves, chopped up the remaining soap, collected all the soap crumbs on the table, and flushed them all into the sewer. At this point, she
Breathing a long sigh of relief, she put the soap into the soap box and placed it next to the sink.
She looked at the soap box and thought to herself that she could no longer use soap when washing her face in the future.
She went back to bed and looked at her watch. It was already six o'clock in the morning. She thought that she would meet with Lieutenant Colonel McCann this morning. She would also meet with Mace at noon. She had a premonition about these two meetings.
There is danger, but it is necessary to see. Maybe, she will find out the real reason why Ruan Qibo was assassinated.
In the morning, it was not until nine o'clock that Lieutenant Colonel McCann's messenger drove a jeep to the door of Zuo Shaoqing's dormitory. He honked the horn casually.
But Zuo Shaoqing was very anxious. She didn't know what Lieutenant Colonel McCann would talk to her and how long they would talk for. If she was late, she might not be able to meet Metz. She packed her things and went out to get in the jeep.
When Zuo Shaoqing walked into Lieutenant Colonel McCann's office, Lieutenant Colonel McCann was sitting behind his desk, deep in thought. He pointed to the opposite side of the desk and told her to sit down, but he still lowered his head and thought about his problem.
This situation made Zuo Shaoqing vaguely uneasy. She judged that Lieutenant Colonel McCann must have something special to say, and he was thinking about how to say it to her.
Lieutenant Colonel McCann thought for a long time, finally raised his head and looked at Zuo Shaoqing calmly. He said: "Zuo, what did you hear about what happened in the city hall last night?"
Zuo Shaoqing shook his head and said, "Sir, after you sent me back to the dormitory last night, I rested. Except for what you told me, I don't know anything else."
Lieutenant Colonel McCann frowned and continued to remain silent. He would occasionally glance at Zuo Shaoqing.
Zuo Shaoqing felt that it was better to remain appropriately curious. She asked: "Sir, what happened?"
Lieutenant Colonel McCann stared at her again, "Mr. Ruan Qibo, Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, was assassinated last night."
"Sir, you already mentioned this matter last night. I want to know who did it?"
"Zuo, preliminary judgment is that it was done by agents of the Communist Party of China, agents from mainland China. This is the preliminary judgment."
"**Agent? Why?" Zuo Shaoqing asked in surprise.
"Zuo, it's not very clear yet. Although we have some judgments, we still need to verify it."
"Sir, what do you want me to do when you come to me?" Zuo Shaoqing asked what was most worrying in her heart.
