As soon as he heard the words "Black Dragon Club", Commander Zhang could no longer remain calm.
But just at this moment, a slightly complaining voice rang out, "My Commander-in-Chief, this food is almost getting cold. When are you two going to talk about official business? You'd better let Captain Gu sit down quickly.
Come on, let’s chat while we eat.”
"Yes, yes, madam is right, Captain Gu, please! Let's chat while we eat."
This meal, with Gu Xiaomeng's deliberate cooperation, was a feast for both the host and the guest.
When he returned to his mansion, it was already late at night, but Gu Minzhang was still sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for her to come back.
"dad?"
"What, are you surprised to see me?"
"No." Gu Xiaomeng quickly shook her head and replied, "I just thought you should have fallen asleep by this time."
"So, you delayed going home so late on purpose, right?"
Gu Xiaomeng did not answer immediately, but slowly walked to sit opposite Gu Minzhang and asked word for word: "Are you asking this question to me as a father, or as my superior?"
"Is it any difference whether it's a father or a superior?"
"If as my father, I am already twenty-five years old and have the freedom to control my own time, if as my superior, I have already sorted out the structural diagram of the second-generation Enigma machine and handed it over to you. Today
There shouldn’t be any missions, right?”
Hearing this, Gu Minzhang couldn't help but sigh silently, then stood up and said: "In that case, let's go to bed early! As for the new task, maybe it will arrive tomorrow morning."
However, before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng said as if he had finally made up his mind: "Dad, I want to move out, to the dormitory of the headquarters."
"Why?"
"These days, most of the confidential offices have been imprisoned in Qiuzhuang, and the intelligence department's secret messages are piling up. Commander Zhang wants us to decipher them as soon as possible, so... in the next few days, I'm afraid it will be necessary day and night.
The place is working overtime. It would be more convenient to move there."
"There is no inconvenience if you live at home."
"I...I have a more important reason. In the dormitory, there are many single officers, action teams, telecommunications rooms, secretariats, and people from various systems. Living there makes it easier to open up situations and obtain more intelligence.
, if I had been living at home, in their eyes, I would be a rich young lady, and they would alienate me. If... you agree, I will pack my things now and move out tomorrow."
"Even if I don't agree, haven't you already made your decision?"
"dad……"
"Commander Zhang called you over tonight, what did you say?" Gu Minzhang asked sharply before Gu Xiaomeng could speak.
"Nothing, just some simple greetings, nothing to do with our mission."
"It has nothing to do with the mission? Then as a father, you can't interfere?" Seeing that Gu Xiaomeng didn't speak, Gu Minzhang couldn't help but sigh again, "You know? Xiaomeng, since you were a child, you have lied in front of me every time.
Every time, the expression on my face will be like this."
"Dad, I..."
"Okay, don't say anything. Xiaomeng, I don't know what you went through in Qiuzhuang, but I can feel that although my daughter is back home, she is getting farther and farther away from me.
Already."
"...Dad, on the first day I came back from Qiuzhuang, you told me that as an intelligence officer, the biggest difference between me and Li Ningyu is that I can't eliminate the influence of emotion on reason. I think this sentence
After spending a day and a night, I finally figured out that my biggest weakness is not that I am emotional, nor that I trust someone too easily, or that I am too easily moved by someone, but because... I rely too much on you."
Speaking of this, Gu Xiaomeng paused for a moment and then continued: "In Qiuzhuang, even though Longchuan pressed forward step by step and Li Ningyu exposed my identity, I was not afraid because I always believed that my father
She would come to save me and come back to protect me, so this made me feel confident and made me regard life and death as an adventure game. Until her death, I understood that an excellent spy agent is a desperado among fugitives and has no friends.
, and there is no protector. Heaven and hell can only be entered by one person."
"That's why you want to break away from my personal protection? Like her, dance with death every day?"
"If you work in this line of work, you are in danger of being exposed. That's why I want to move to the headquarters. Once...you have room for maneuver!"
"Tell me, what on earth are you going to do?"
However, Gu Xiaomeng just shook her head gently, did not continue, stood up and went back to the room...
Almost at the same time, the wife's voice rang outside Commander Zhang's study, "Master, we are here."
"Come in!"
Before he finished speaking, a tall and thick figure pushed open the door and walked in. It was not someone else, but surprisingly he was the henchman who sneaked out of Qiuzhuang to report the news on Wang Tianxiang's order.
"commander!"
"Third brother is here? Sit down!" Commander Zhang said to the man very politely, "Third brother, please recall carefully, when Longchuan Feiyuan was interrogating Bai Xiaonian, did you... did you mention it?
Did anything weird happen?"
"Something strange? You mean..."
"It just sounds like it has nothing to do with investigating the old man from the Red Party. Do you have any impressions?"
"This..." The third child thought hard for a long time before suddenly remembering something and said quickly, "Ah, by the way, I heard from one of my brothers that when Ryukawa Hihara interrogated Secretary Bai alone, he
Right at the door of the interrogation room, I vaguely heard Hihara Ryukawa mentioning the word 'treasure' in the interrogation room. As for what he said next, I couldn't hear clearly."
"Treasure?" Commander Zhang couldn't help but squinted his eyes after hearing this, and said to himself, "Is it possible that the legendary treasure in Qiuzhuang is really true?"
Speaking of this, Commander Zhang paused for a moment, and then continued to ask: "What about Wang Tianxiang? Did he do anything unusual?"
"Ever since he broke into Qiuzhuang, Director Wang has obeyed the advice of Colonel Longchuan and will do whatever he wants. However, there seems to be one abnormal behavior that makes me feel very strange."
"What's up?"
"On the day Bai Xiaonian was sent out to Qiuzhuang for a walk, he shot and wounded Colonel Li's husband Pan Hanqing. Director Wang was at the scene at the time and caught Bai Xiaonian with his own hands. But when he returned to Qiuzhuang for interrogation,
Director Wang said that the person Bai Xiaonian wanted to shoot was not Pan Hanqing, but Huang Que. He also used this as an excuse to ask Bai Xiaonian if he was an old ghost from the Red Party."
"and after?"
"Later, Director Wang kicked us all out. Not long after, Colonel Longchuan walked in. From then on, it seemed that the matter was settled."
Hearing this, Commander Zhang pondered for a moment and then said to the third child: "Go back immediately, keep an eye on this Wang Tianxiang, and do everything you can to find out what Longchuan Feiyuan and that Wang Tianxiang are doing secretly!"
"yes!"
After coming out of Commander Zhang's residence, the third child immediately rushed to Qiuzhuang without stopping.
However, just when he was still some distance away from his destination, Lao San was surprised to find that Qiuzhuang in the distance had turned into a sea of fire. The blazing flames dyed the entire night sky red, and the billowing smoke even burned countless people.
Covered by stars, it was like a hell on earth.
At this time, in the west building of Qiuzhuang, Wang Tianxiang was covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and the other hand was beating hard on the door of Kuroteng Guizan, "Colonel! Kurotō Colonel! Are you okay! Kurotō
Colonel?"
However, after knocking for a long time, there was no movement at all, so Wang Tianxiang secretly said something bad!
But just when he was about to knock on the door, Li Qiang's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Stop knocking, it's useless. Director Wang, Colonel Kuroto is not here!"
"Not in the room? Then where was the colonel in the middle of the night?"
Li Qiang first lowered his head and glanced at his watch, and then said calmly: "At this moment... I guess you should be leaving Huzhou soon, right?"
"What did you say? Colonel Kuroto has left?" Wang Tianxiang said with eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Yes, as soon as it got dark, the colonel took the people away."
This moment made Wang Tianxiang and his subordinates all dumbfounded. If no one was watching the show, who should he perform his show for?
"Brother, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Put out the fire first! Call the fire brigade immediately and ask them to send everyone over to put out the fire!"
"yes!"
On the other side, there is a mountain road that must be passed from Huzhou to Nanjing.
"Sir, it's Staff Lin's signal. The target has appeared!"
"Very good! Everyone, get ready and listen to my command! Get closer and then fight!"
"yes!"
In a short time, a transport convoy consisting of more than a dozen military trucks slowly drove over along the winding mountain road in the vast darkness.
"Do it!" Following Haitang's order, countless boulders and rolling logs rolled down the hillside, blocking the advance and retreat of the convoy almost instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the team members who were ambushing on the mountains on both sides of the road opened fire together, frantically harvesting the lives of the Japanese.
The sudden ambush really caught the Japanese off guard, and most of them were beaten to pieces by the bullets like raindrops before they had time to react.
The fierce gunfire lasted for nearly half an hour before gradually calming down.
After leaving all the things in the car and the corpses on the ground, Kuroteng Kisan finally broke out of the encirclement under the protection of several close men, and plunged into the forest like a headless fly...
Early the next morning, Gu Xiaomeng knocked on the door of the Office of the Director of the Confidentiality Division with a thick stack of confidential information.
"Director Liu, the coded messages No. 309 to 408 have been decoded. Please review and sign."
With that said, Gu Xiaomeng handed the information to Director Liu.
Unexpectedly, Director Liu didn't even look at her, so he smiled bitterly and said to her: "What Director? That's called Acting Director. I know what kind of material I am. As for the good job of Director of the Confidential Division, I
Ah, I can't do it! I can't even sign this word. Listen to me, Captain Gu. You should continue to decipher these secret messages. After they are all deciphered, send them to this office. I looked at them with both eyes, and one copy is indispensable.
!When the new director takes office, I will count them to him one by one."
"However, the intelligence department's secret messages have piled up like a mountain. I'm afraid... this will affect the headquarters' anti-bandit operations."
However, Director Liu laughed after hearing this, "Captain Gu, this is because you are too serious. Without our confidential department and your intelligence section, the entire headquarters will not be transformed? As soon as I walked in this morning, I
I bumped into Captain Sun of the Second Operation Team and led his men on a mission in a hurry."
"A mission? What mission?"
"I heard that Commander Zhang personally issued the order this morning, ordering Captain Sun to immediately take people to Huzhou for support and block all nearby traffic arteries. No need to ask, it must be to arrest the anti-Japanese elements! Do you think these few pictures are gone?
Damn it, Commander Zhang can't catch the anti-Japanese elements? There are many ways! Okay, that's enough gossip, go and get busy!"
When she came out of the office, Gu Xiaomeng was thinking about why Commander Zhang gave such an order. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had unknowingly walked to the door of the office of the chief of the Intelligence Department.
Staring blankly at the office door, Gu Xiaomeng was in a trance for a moment, as if Li Ningyu would walk out of it the next moment as usual.
In a trance, Gu Xiaomeng seemed to really see a familiar figure walking out of the room, walked slowly in front of her, and said to her seriously in a boss's tone: "Why are you standing there? What's going on these days?"
I will give you five days to decipher the backlog of messages. Every five messages you decipher, you will be sent to me for review and signature. Do you remember?"
Hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Gu Xiaomeng's face, and she hurriedly responded: "Yes, Sister Yu!"
But the other party was stunned when he heard this, "What did you just call me?"
It was only then that Gu Xiaomeng suddenly came back to his senses and saw clearly who Li Ningyu was in that person. He was clearly Haitang! The smile on his face suddenly solidified.
But even so, Gu Xiaomeng still said bravely: "Qing...oh no, I should call you Director Gu, right? Why did you..."
"Oh, it's like this. The commander just issued an order to transfer you to the Intelligence Section to take over Colonel Li's position. So, from now on, you should call me Section Chief Gu."
With that said, Haitang handed over the secret message in his hand, and then said with some worry: "Xiao Meng, I know that your current condition is not very good, but there is no room for sloppiness in this deciphering work. Remember,
A translation error..."
Before Haitang could finish her words, Gu Xiaomeng immediately said: "I know, one translation error is a matter of motivation, multiple translation errors are..."
At this point, Gu Xiaomeng's voice suddenly stopped, and then he looked over with wide eyes and expectancy.
However, Haitang did not speak. He just winked at her secretly and went back to the office...
