Zhang Yalan looked calmly at Xiao Fanbing, who was sitting opposite, with a faint smile on her face that was lost in memories.
She said: "Xiao Fan, when I was working underground in Nanjing, I was arrested twice by Zuo Shaoqing, and tortured by her both times. She beat me very hard. I fell into unconsciousness several times and almost lost my life.
At that time, I didn’t know that she was also my comrade. I didn’t know until later that she and I were undertaking the same important task and were my superiors. Xiao Fan, she and I were undertaking very important tasks.
It has not yet been declassified. She once told me face to face that if I couldn't stand the torture from the Secrecy Bureau, she would beat me to death directly."
Xiao Fanbing's ice-cold eyes also shone with surprise, looking at her in disbelief.
Zhang Yalan nodded seriously, "If you ask me who I trust, I trust her, the firmest trust."
"You don't trust that person just now? He is from the Intelligence Department of the General Staff." Xiao Fanbing asked calmly.[
"I can't explain this right now. But there is one thing. Zuo Shaoqing just returned to Nanjing, and within a few days, someone came to inquire about her whereabouts. This coincidence makes me very puzzled. I feel that there must be something in it.
What special reason? Xiao Fan, do you still remember the little baggage in Zuo Shaoqing's hand? She never let that little baggage leave her hand. I believe that Zuo Shaoqing must have an extremely important task. Xiao
Fan, I want to protect her until she completes her mission."
"So, what should we do with this comrade from the Intelligence Department of the General Staff?"
"Let's do this. You should work hard to investigate all the other cases mentioned in this official document. If you find anything, tell him. As for Zuo Shaoqing, tell him that we have nothing."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Xiao Fan left Zhang Yalan's office in a voice.
Looking at it now, Ye Gongjin thought of everything, but he didn't expect that the head of the Anti-Special Section of the Nanjing Public Security Bureau was Zhang Yalan. Otherwise, he would have found Zuo Shaoqing very quickly.
That evening, Zhang Yalan got off work and quietly went to Liu Qiuyue's home.
When she sat opposite Fu Huaizhen and looked at her former colleague from the Ministry of National Defense with a smile, she realized that Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue had left a few days ago. As for where they went, the person sitting opposite her
Fu Huaizhen's eyes were panicked, but he refused to speak out.
Fu Huaizhen stammered: "Yalan, you know my Yue'er and she has great ideas. That... that Zuo Shaoqing, you know even more. They are so mysterious and don't tell me anything.
They didn't even tell me what they were going to do or where they went. You know how sad I am."
Zhang Yalan started laughing. She and Fu Huaizhen had been colleagues in the Ministry of National Defense for several years, and she knew this acid scholar very well. She smiled and said, "Huaizhen, stop doing this to me. You haven't learned to lie yet."
"It's true, it's true!" Fu Huaizhen shouted, "I'm not lying to you at all, I really don't know."
Zhang Yalan felt that if she didn't tell the truth, she might not be able to get the result. She hooked her finger at Fu Huaizhen and asked him to put his head over. She leaned into his ear and whispered: "Huaizhen, I
Let me tell you a situation. Someone is secretly inquiring about the whereabouts of Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue. I feel that they are in danger now. I must inform them as soon as possible, do you understand?"
This Fu Huaizhen looked at her with his mouth shut, and was speechless for a while. Fear had turned his face pale. He said with some pain: "Yalan, I really can't tell you, Yue'er will blame me."
.”
Zhang Yalan tugged his ears hard and said through gritted teeth: "Fu, when your Yue'er dies, no one will blame you, right? Just speak up, right?"
Fu Huaizhen opened his mouth, opening and closing like a fish out of water, his eyes were full of fear, and he stared at Zhang Yalan blankly. He finally said: "Yalan, they went to Wuhan. I... I only know this
.”
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Yalan called Wang Jianyuan, who was staying in the guest house, and said two things. First, she had checked the cases she had handled in recent years and found nothing related to the cases or persons he mentioned.
The situation. Second, because she had an urgent mission to go to Guangzhou, she asked him to leave his contact information so that she could contact him if the relevant situation was discovered in the future. After that, she and Xiao Fanbing boarded the train to Wuhan overnight.
Zhang Yalan was arrested twice and almost died in the torture room of the Secrecy Bureau. Such an experience would not be in vain. She was more keenly aware than others that someone was secretly looking for Zuo Shaoqing. Who was this person?
, for what reason, she had no idea. Even her status as General Staff Intelligence Department could not make her relax her vigilance.
She knew that Zuo Shaoqing must be in danger. She wanted to rush to Wuhan as soon as possible and find Zuo Shaoqing through the Wuhan Public Security Bureau. This was a sister she had just recognized. She did not want this sister to be in danger, let alone this sister.
, may also be responsible for extremely important tasks.
The readers must have noticed that people related to this story are involuntarily gathering in Wuhan.
And Zhang Yalan was almost the last one to go to Wuhan. Because just two days before Zhang Yalan left for Wuhan, another main character in this story also went to Wuhan, and he was Du Ziyuan.[
Du Ziyuan went to Wuhan because he heard an unexpected situation from an unexpected person's mouth. On top of all the situations he had mastered, the last feather was added.
In late April, Du Ziyuan took Qin Donghai and Long Jinyun back to Beijing. Soon, he dealt with Long Jinyun and finally transferred her to the Hubei Investigation Bureau. Although he couldn't make any sense, he really didn't
He couldn't trust Long Jinyun anymore. In addition, he also knew that he had most likely wronged Long Jinyun. But in the current critical situation, he could no longer care about these trivial matters.
Du Ziyuan's self-assessment of this trip to Cambodia was that it was a serious failure. Apart from knowing that Zuo Shaoqing, who was lurking at the US military base in Cam Ranh Bay, might be carrying something extremely important, he learned nothing. He did not find out the circumstances of Ruan Qibo's assassination.
The real situation, and the reason for the interruption of traffic lines in Cam Ranh Bay, has not been found out. He does know that the Mei organization has been destroyed, but the reason for the destruction is still unknown.
He thought about it repeatedly and believed that the important things Zuo Shaoqing carried must be in her backpack. But Long Jinyun did not find anything in that backpack. This result caused him to lose trust in Long Jinyun.
There was another thing that made him angry and even more dangerous. Not long after he, Qin Donghai, and Long Jinyun arrived in Nanning, the Americans, Vietnamese, South Vietnamese, and Taiwan's intelligence agencies all knew
He got the news. He even became the target of an ambush!
Du Ziyuan believed that this leak must be the work of a "water hyacinth" lurking in the Central Mediation Department. This "water hyacinth" has become a serious problem for him.
The readers may have guessed where the 'water hyacinth' is hidden from the previous section and this section. But it will take some time for Du Ziyuan to guess this result.
Therefore, Du Ziyuan was in a very bad mood for a few days after returning to Beijing.
After Du Ziyuan and Director Lao Luo analyzed these situations repeatedly, they discovered that they were really at their wits' end now. Their only choice was to report the matter to the minister in order to gain greater support.
The director of the Investigation Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is named Li. He is actually a soldier with a high military rank. In Du Ziyuan's view, he is still a legendary figure in China's hidden front, and he is full of respect for him.
It was not easy to meet Minister Li. Lao Luo personally negotiated with Director He of the General Office and repeatedly explained the seriousness of the situation. Two days later, Director He of the General Office finally told Lao Luo that Minister Li had half an hour at noon.
Please take advantage of this opportunity to report on your work.
As a result, Minister Li listened to Lao Luo and Du Ziyuan's report for two hours, and dropped all other work in the middle of the report. In the middle of the report, Minister Li called Vice Minister Xiang, who was also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Coordination Department.
He made a call and asked about the situation. When he put down the phone, his face became even more serious.
Such a situation indicates that Lao Luo and Du Ziyuan's report will not be easy.
As the report progressed, Minister Li's expression became increasingly severe.
"The Kuomintang agent has been infiltrating us for so many years, but you haven't found him yet!"
Minister Li's eyes were fixed on Lao Luo. For many years before liberation, Lao Luo had been Minister Li's direct subordinate and was deeply trusted and reused by him. Lao Luo was appointed director of the Second Bureau and was named by Minister Li himself.
Minister Li has always believed that since the establishment of the party's intelligence system, foreign intelligence has been relatively weak, so he chose Lao Luo to be responsible for this aspect.
But today, it can almost be said that without this relationship, Lao Luo would probably not be able to bear it.
Minister Li turned to Du Ziyuan and his tone was much gentler, "Du Ziyuan, do you think the assassination of Ruan Qibo in Cam Ranh Bay is directly related to the 'water hyacinth' that infiltrated our internal affairs?"
Du Ziyuan said calmly: "Yes. And it is a relationship of internal and external collusion and cooperation."
Minister Li stared at him and said nothing.
Du Ziyuan mustered up his courage and continued: "The Ruan Qibo incident, the destruction of the Mei organization, and the leaking of my whereabouts all show that the enemy colluded internally and externally, and attempted to blame Ruan Qibo's assassination on us. The enemy's entire plan was set up very carefully.
Precise and almost impeccable. The purpose is to sabotage the Sino-Soviet negotiations."
"When you say 'almost', you mean what did Zuo get?" [
"Yes. From the fact that the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau is trying its best to eliminate her, and the US Central Intelligence Agency is also involved, we judge that the leftist has something extremely important."
"what?"
"I don't know yet." Du Ziyuan's voice was much lower, but his heart felt like a knife was piercing his heart.
Minister Li seemed to feel the same way. His deep eyes were like stars in the darkness, fixed on Du Ziyuan's pale face, and remained motionless for a long time.
Du Ziyuan understood that this was the last chance.
