"Andre." The tall blond man with blue eyes stretched out his hand.
"Zhou Xuanhe." Geng Chaozhong thought for a while and replied.
Their faces were filled with the enthusiasm of meeting comrades, but the wariness deep in their eyes did not diminish at all. After a brief but strong handshake, Andre tentatively said: "Follow me?"
"Thanks, but not needed," Geng Chaozhong refused with a smile, "Also, please return this dagger to its owner."
Geng Chaozhong held the hilt outward and handed over a dagger, which was exactly the one Yu Zhen gave him.
"I hope you will consider our suggestions carefully. Also, our two countries are currently negotiating, and the atmosphere at the official level is also very good. You can trust us." Andre said in a low voice, "Also, I will find a way.
Send you back to Nanjing."
"Yes, I understand, but I have other tasks, but I still thank you for your kindness." Geng Chaozhong replied.
Since 1933, China and the Soviet Union have been secretly signing a non-aggression treaty with only one purpose - their common enemy in the Far East - Japan.
However, due to the Soviet area in China, the negotiations have not been smooth. But now that the Soviet area has disappeared, the negotiations between the two countries have accelerated. Japan's major political newspapers have already published concerns that China and the Soviet Union may conclude a leap, while Manchuria and Mongolia
The military friction between the Soviet Union and Japan on the border stemmed from this distrust.
Andre was silent for a moment, seemingly giving up on persuading him. He rubbed his hands and seemed to want to leave, but when he turned around, he turned around again: "I heard that you are Yu Zhen's friend, don't you want to
Meet her?"
"Not for the time being. We will see each other when we are destined." Geng Chaozhong shook his head.
"Okay, see you later then." Andre put the destined object on his head and turned to leave.
After a while, several gunshots were heard in the distance, and the bamboo forest fell into silence.
Geng Chaozhong did not leave. He stood where he was. Before leaving Mitsui Iron Works, the conversation between Xiangzi and himself reappeared in front of his eyes:
"Date-kun, I know you are not Japanese. When you first returned to Hokkaido, your actions only made me confused. But when I returned to Tokyo and Sato-san asked me to investigate Watanabe, I had already figured everything out."
"Date-kun, I don't want to kill you, but if you go back and report Sato-san, even I will be implicated. In order to escape guilt, Sato-san will definitely put part of the blame on me, so I have no choice.
"
"Date-kun, I have confessed everything to Sato-san, and he will take action in the near future. I have no choice but to wish you good luck, but I once promised to tell you a life-threatening secret, and now I have told you
Already."
"goodbye......."
Geng Chaozhong shook his head and walked quickly to the place where Nakamura escorted him to the bamboo forest to park. There, the two military policemen who stayed behind were lying dead on the ground. He walked to the rear of the car and opened the trunk. There was a tank of spare gasoline in it, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
After making up his mind, he quickly got into the driver's seat. Soon after, black smoke billowed from the rear of the car and disappeared along the mountain road.
...........
An hour later, Sorge Apartment.
"Where are the people?" Zhu Muyun looked at Andre who came back with a bit of anxiety on his face.
"He doesn't want to come back," Andre shook his head, "Also," Andre looked at Yu Zhen, who had his head lowered, "He asked me to return this knife to you and say goodbye.
"
Yuzhen's face was a little pale. She took the knife and threw it aside without even looking at it.
"Yuzhen, please don't be like this," Andre's blue eyes were full of pity, "We can all see it, but I have to say that ending a relationship is a relief for both people."
"Shut up." Yu Zhen glared at Andre, turned and walked away.
"Senior Zhukov," Andrei shrugged helplessly, "What do you think?"
"You should persuade him to come back," Zhu Muyun glanced at Yuzhen's leaving figure, "He should know some secrets, and his identity is also very important to us."
"Obviously, he has been exposed," Andre shook his head, "So, I don't think it is necessary."
"It is Mr. Richard who makes the decision, not you." Zhu Muyun reminded seriously.
"Then let me tell you, he is a very determined person, and I can't persuade him." Andre made no secret of his stubbornness.
"Okay, just tell him this when he comes back!" Zhu Muyun had no idea what to do with this guy, shook his head and walked into the inner room.
...........
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Yuzhen stared at the starry night sky outside the window, and a teardrop fell from his cheek.
In front of Zhu Muyun, she no longer needed to hide her emotions.
"Yuzhen, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before because..." Zhu Muyun walked to Yuzhen.
"It's nothing, I have already guessed, who is his wife?" Yu Zhen wiped away the falling tears with a finger.
"The one arranged by the Secret Service is the daughter of one of our old comrades. He cannot and cannot refuse." Zhu Muyun sighed.
"He doesn't want to refuse, right?" Yuzhen turned his head, his angry face pale and beautiful.
"This kind of thing," Zhu Muyun smiled bitterly, "you know, I have been divorced twice, you are asking blindly."
"Pfft," Yuzhen smiled, but tears still fell uncontrollably, "Brother Zhu, you once told me that it's hard for people like us to have stable relationships, right?"
"Yes, it's difficult, but it's not necessarily true. Didn't he say, see you again when we are destined." Zhu Muyun gently stroked Yu Zhen's shoulder.
"Are we destined?" Yuzhen's eyes were confused.
.........
"It seems that Nakamura will never come back..."
Mitsui Iron Works, Sato was also looking at the stars in front of the window.
It is completely dark, but there is no news about Nakamura and Date yet. Unlike the British proverb "No news is good news", in the intelligence world, if there is no news, it must be bad news.
"Sato-san, what are you going to do next?" There was another person standing by the side, with slightly frowning eyebrows and a thin application of powder. It was Xiangzi.
"Xiangzi, what do you think?" Sato looked at Xiangzi with a half-smile, "Now the only people who know about this matter are you and me. We don't need to be suspicious of each other."
"According to the original plan, report to the superiors and arrest at the same time!" Xiangzi's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"Come here!" Sato said.
A military policeman came in and said, "Provost, please give me your instructions."
"Investigate where Nakamura and the others went, and then send..." Before he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly. Sato picked up the phone. After a conversation, he put down the phone and said:
"No need, the person has been found. Nakamura and his group were ambushed near Sensoji Temple, leaving four corpses. Go and call all the instructors from our training center!"
"Hey!" the military policeman agreed and ran out quickly.
"Run away, it's okay to run away," Sato sat back behind his desk and muttered to himself: "Ida, I have never underestimated you, and you have never let me down. But now, you won't
If you threaten me again, at least your threat to me has been reduced to the minimum."
In less than ten minutes, all seven instructors from the Special Agent Training Institute, except Xiangzi, gathered in Sato's office.
"Everyone," Sato's sharp eyes glanced at everyone present, "Nakamura and Date were attacked while on a mission. Four people were killed. Date escaped, but he has not come back to life until now. Also, I just received
According to the news, Date has been bribed by Soviet intelligence agents after coming to Japan. This ambush was carried out by him colluding with the Soviets. This is the confession I just received!"
After speaking, Sato threw a thin confession paper in front of everyone.
"Nani?!"
Everyone present was shocked. Ida-kun turned out to be a mole sent by the Soviet side. This...
"Xiangzi, you sent the confession. Please tell everyone the details." Sato turned his attention to Xiangzi.
