Du Ziyuan understood that Li Yunlin actually had something to say to him.
He helped Lin Wenxiu into the study, put the blanket on her legs again, and said softly: "Wenxiu, you have worked hard these days. If you are tired, you can just skip the small department store for a few days."
Lin Wenxiu said: "I'm fine. In the small department store, I have Donghai chatting with me. I arrange the shelves and wipe the counters, and I'm not tired. It's also good to look at the street in my free time."
Du Ziyuan thought for a while and said: "I heard from Zhao Minggui that You Shaoqing is in Wuhan. In addition, there is another possibility that Zuo Shaoqing may also be in Wuhan. You know these two people. It would be great if you could see them.
alright."
Lin Wenxiu looked at him in surprise, "They are all in Wuhan? Why? This is too strange."
Du Ziyuan nodded to her, "It's not a simple matter for them to appear in Wuhan. I feel that something big may happen here in Wuhan. You should pay more attention to it, that intersection is a very important intersection."
Lin Wenxiu smiled and said: "Okay, I have no problem, I must pay more attention."
At this time, Li Yunlin had already placed teacups on the coffee table and made everyone a cup of light green tea.
He sat down on the sofa and stared at Du Ziyuan silently, with deep questions hidden in his eyes.
After a moment, he said softly: "Ziyuan, it might not be that simple for you to come to Wuhan. When you first came, you didn't say much. Now, I want to know if your mission is the same as what was said at today's meeting.
Is it related?"
Du Ziyuan looked at him quietly. As far as his professional sensitivity was concerned, he couldn't trust anyone now. But he could trust Li Yunlin and Lin Wenxiu in front of him. He also knew them better. After all, they came from the past.
He had survived hardships and dangers. He held one of Lin Wenxiu's hands, shook it gently, and looked at Li Yunlin.
He said: "Lao Li, since you asked today, I will say a little more, but I can only say it here. Do you understand?"
Li Yunlin nodded to him, "I understand. Just say it simply, I can understand."
Du Ziyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "My mission in coming to Wuhan is not what was discussed at today's meeting. However, it is indeed related. My mission is related to an important negotiation ongoing between China and the Soviet Union. This is
This negotiation is an important negotiation related to whether the Soviet Union can help China research and manufacture atomic weapons. However, the current negotiation has been suspended due to an unexpected case. My mission is to find out the true situation of this case.
Lao Li, I can only go so far."
Li Yunlin pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, "I can generally hear it."
Du Ziyuan said: "So, my mission in Wuhan is about China's atomic energy industry as a whole, and what happened tonight is just a part of it. There is a relationship between the whole and the parts."
Li Yunlin and Lin Wenxiu both looked at him seriously and said nothing. Qin Donghai, who was sitting next to him, only now understood how important the task he had undertaken was.
Du Ziyuan stretched out a finger and said quietly: "This is the first. Second, there is indeed a Taiwanese spy who is deeply hidden within us. His code name is 'Water Hyacinth'. This spy is a huge threat to us."
Hidden danger. Not long ago, Donghai and I went on a mission. As soon as we arrived in Nanning, our movements were leaked by this 'water hyacinth'. Taiwanese secret agents were even preparing to attack us."
Qin Donghai immediately remembered his and Du Ziyuan's trip to South Vietnam. They almost fell into a trap!
Du Ziyuan looked at Li Yunlin and continued: "To put it further, after you were injured, you were sent to Nanjing for treatment. This situation was immediately noticed by the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau in Nanjing. Zuo Shaoqing concluded at that time that this information was also 'water'
Hulu' leaked.
Li Yunlin and Lin Wenxiu both recalled the critical situation in Nanjing that year. They had actually fallen into the hands of agents from the Secrecy Bureau. It was only because of Zuo Shaoqing's wit that they barely escaped from danger!
Li Yunlin stared at Du Ziyuan calmly, remained silent for a moment and said, "Old Du, I understand generally now. Your mission may seem to be two, but in fact it may be one mission."
Du Ziyuan nodded, "Yes."
"So," Li Yunlin's voice became even lower when he spoke, "you don't quite trust Zhang Zhengdong of the General Staff Intelligence Department?"
Li Yunlin's words were light and steady, and hit the mark, hitting the vital point in Du Ziyuan's heart.
But this was something he didn't dare to say, or even think about. But now, Li Yunlin said it exactly. He looked at Li Yunlin with a painful expression, but was speechless.
Li Yunlin smiled and said, "Tonight, I noticed the expressions of you and Zhang Zhengdong. I guessed that there must be something wrong with them, so I invited you to my house for tea. Do you really doubt them?"
Du Ziyuan let out a long breath and said, "Old Li, actually I don't dare! I have cooperated with Zhang Zhengdong many times and the tasks have been completed very well. How dare I doubt him!"
Li Yunlin said directly: "But you do have doubts in your heart, right?"
Du Ziyuan held the teacup in both hands, lowered his head in thought, and did not speak for a long time. He finally raised his head and said: "I do have doubts in my heart. First, the security of the Wuhan Institute of Physics has been the responsibility of the General Staff Intelligence Department in the past. Specifically, that is,
Zhang Zhengdong’s Fourth Bureau was responsible. Second, when this core component was about to complete testing, Taiwan’s secret agents accurately grasped the situation.”
Li Yunlin glared at him, "This situation speaks volumes! What else do you have to hesitate!"
Du Ziyuan opened his mouth and kept shaking his head, "However, I have always believed that this 'water hyacinth' is hidden in our Central Adjustment Department! Even in the Central Adjustment Department, the matter of my going to Nanning has only a very small number of people.
Only a few people know. How could he be in the Intelligence Department of the General Staff? I can’t figure it out.”
Li Yunlin said softly: "Perhaps, this 'water hyacinth' used to be in the Central Coordination Department, but later ended up in the General Staff Intelligence Department. Is this possible? Another possibility is that this 'water hyacinth' also has insider information in the Central Coordination Department?"
Du Ziyuan stared at him, speechless for a long time. But his heart was tumbling violently.
God! He may have been limited by his habitual thinking. During this period, he only paid attention to investigations within the Central Regulation Department. After liberation, the Situation Department of the North China Bureau (that is, the Social Work Department of the North China Bureau) was merged into the Central Social Work Department.
Department. But soon afterwards, the Central Social Work Department was abolished. Some of them left, and more people were transferred to work in the General Staff Intelligence Department and Liaison Department. It was at that time that he came to work in the General Staff Liaison Department. In that
At that time, the turnover of personnel in the intelligence system was very large. However, I only conducted internal investigations in the Central Coordination Department and consulted so many top-secret files, but I could not find any clues about the "Water Hyacinth". Is "Water Hyacinth" caused by intelligence?
The organization has undergone major changes in the past few years, so why did it go to the Intelligence Department of the General Staff?
There is another point about this matter that has puzzled him for the past two days. Why did his superiors ask him to participate in the security work of Wuhan physics research? This work is obviously not within the scope of his tasks. Could it be that the senior officials have no control over the General Staff Intelligence Department?
Not at ease? He didn't dare to think about it. This situation was too terrible!
He looked at Li Yunlin cautiously and said: "Let's stop talking about this situation first. I will seriously consider it. I must seriously consider this issue."
Lin Wenxiu and Qin Donghai, who were sitting next to them, did not dare to interrupt casually in such a situation. However, they were extremely nervous and looked at Li Yunlin and Du Ziyuan in fear.
Li Yunlin nodded to Du Ziyuan and said, "Old Du, I hope you will think carefully and make the right decision."
Next, they began to think about the on-site inspection of the Wuhan Institute of Physics tomorrow and the next step of preparations. They are all very experienced people in intelligence work and have enough wisdom. In fact, they are very familiar with the task at hand.
, and made a more detailed plan.
Li Yunlin finally said: "Lao Du, if you need manpower, I will fully support you!"
Du Ziyuan held his hand, and at the same time turned back to hold Lin Wenxiu's hand and said, "In the face of a difficult task, what I need most is the support of you two!"
At nine o'clock the next morning, several people who attended the meeting the night before gathered in front of the office building of the Wuhan Institute of Physics. They were Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai from the Central Coordination Department, Zhang Zhengdong and Meng Wei from the General Staff Intelligence Department, and the Provincial Military Region
Commander Li Yunlin and Director Ge of Wuhan Public Security Bureau.
Deputy Director Liu of the Wuhan Institute of Physics, who was in charge of security, was already waiting for them in front of the building. He carefully checked everyone's name and appearance, and then issued a "temporary pass" to everyone.
He smiled and said: "Without this pass, the guards inside will not let you in."
They walked along a wide cement road. There were several gray brick buildings around, and some tall plane trees were shaded among them. There were very few people on the road. Occasionally, some people walked by, and they were in a hurry.
Deputy Director Liu introduced to the people around him, this is the laboratory, that is the reference room or archives room, etc.
They turned a corner, and through the dense trees, they could see a gate in front of them. Two PLA soldiers with guns guarded the door and watched the group of people approaching.
Deputy Director Liu said: "It used to be a warehouse and maintenance workshop. Later, after we took on the task of developing the 'neutron tube', we completely renovated the building and built a wall to close it.
, as our base for developing the 'neutron tube'. The provincial military region sent troops to serve as a security guard."
Du Ziyuan and his group walked towards the gate while listening to Deputy Director Liu's introduction.
An officer on duty guarding the door stood up from behind the table. He stretched out his hand to stop the group.
