A car stopped on the side of the road. In the car were Jiang Xinyu and Xu Li.
"After Cao Yunfei returned, the Dagu detachment retreated to Liushutun in the Baxian area. It was a three-nothing zone and did not pose a substantial threat to Yanjin. It was conducive to the long-term repair of the team."
"Is Cao Yunfei's injury serious?"
"It's very serious. I stayed in the water for too long. I have symptoms of infection. Let's recover slowly. Fortunately, the team has penicillin, so at least it's not life-threatening."
"There is a question that I have never understood. Shen Zhifeng doesn't know the nature of water. How could two people miss each other?"
Xu Li explained: "That's it. When we first rescued those prisoners, Xu Wenxiu once made a request, hoping that we could let Shen Zhifeng live. After weighing the pros and cons, the organization verbally agreed to Xu Wenxiu.
This time it can be considered merciful."
Jiang Xinyu said: "But, I heard the doctor said that the knife almost pierced Shen Zhifeng's heart..."
Xu Li smiled: "As the saying goes, swords and guns have no eyes. When you are fighting to the death, who can think about these things? In that situation, it was just a matter of killing. If he didn't kill, he would be lucky. Besides, Xu Wenxiu
Now that she is being favored, people may have to be sent to win over her in the future. Only by winning her trust will it be easier to talk to her when we meet in the future."
"Oh, I see……"
"Comrade Xinyu, we can't just look at the immediate interests, we have to take a longer-term view. After all, the struggle has just begun!"
Jiang Xinyu nodded. Xu Wenxiu was simple and kind-hearted, and had been deeply influenced by progressive ideas in the past. It was always relatively easy to win over such a person.
"The organization specially praised you for the rescue plan you arranged, and I also took advantage of it, calling us the unsung heroes of the underground front!"
“Isn’t this rating too high?”
"Don't be so modest. I heard that this is the unanimous opinion of the chiefs."
"I'm really not being modest. The word hero is too big. In fact, I prefer to use warriors to describe us."
Xu Li said: "Let's get down to business, do you know Jin Linyue?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while: "I've heard about it. He has a PhD from Columbia University Business School. He later studied aerodynamics. He has his own independent laboratory and received the Medal of Freedom from the US Government..."
Xu Li was a little surprised: "How do you know so detailedly?"
Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "Dr. Jin has just returned to China. A few days ago, I went to the airport to welcome him on behalf of the Security Bureau. Yanjin City Hall and the Security Command all sent people to attend the welcome ceremony. I was a little surprised at the time. He was just a doctor. It seemed like
Just like Mr. Jiang’s inspection, the reception ceremony was too grand.”
Xu Li smiled and said, "Then do you know why Dr. Jin is so valued?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "I later learned that Dr. Jin was a talent in finance. The Kuomintang government needed such talents, so I tried every means to please Dr. Jin in the hope that he could stay and serve in the government."
Xu Li shook his head: "Dr. Jin is indeed famous in the field of finance, but this is not the reason why he is valued."
"why?"
"Dr. King worked on the Manhattan Project!"
Jiang Xinyu was still confused: "What is the Manhattan Project?"
Xu Li smiled bitterly and said: "If you ask me to explain, I actually don't know much about it. It seems to be related to some atoms... Let's put it this way, the super bomb dropped by the Meguo people in Japan came from the Manhattan Project."
Jiang Xinyu was surprised: "So, Dr. Jin can build that kind of super bomb?"
"He is an aerodynamics expert and participated in part of the Manhattan Project. But, think about it, can the Kuomintang government ignore such a talent?"
"Oh...what do we need to do organizationally?"
"When I was in Meguo, someone from the organization had already contacted Dr. Jin. He highly praised our party's idea of serving the people wholeheartedly and hoped to work for the people's government in the future."
"If that's the case, then why did he come directly to Yanjin instead of going to the liberated areas?"
"There are no direct flights from Meguo to the liberated areas, and Dr. Jin has not been back for more than ten years. He also wanted to go back to his hometown to see it, but he couldn't leave after he arrived."
Jiang Xinyu understood that for scientists of Dr. Jin's level, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would definitely fight for it. Whoever can take the lead in building a super bomb will have the capital to be invincible!
The task assigned by the organization is both simple and arduous. We must find a way to send Dr. Jin to the liberated areas at all costs.
Xu Li said: "There is no rush in this matter. Dr. Jin should be able to withstand the pressure in a short period of time. The Kuomintang government cannot forcefully drag him onto the plane. The most important thing now is to find a way to
Get in touch with Dr. King.”
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while: "At the beginning, when we were in Meguo, who did the organization send to contact Dr. Jin?"
"I don't know the name. I only know that she is a lesbian, codenamed Qiu Yu."
"Okay, I'll figure this out. We'll meet here the day after tomorrow."
"Can."
"That's it, as per the old rules, you go first."
"There is one more thing that the organization specifically asked me to ask."
"What's up?"
"Last time, on the day Cao Yunfei was arrested, who sent the report to the organization in your name?" "In my name...what does it mean?"
Jiang Xinyu found it strange that although the telegram was sent by Tong Tong, it still used the specific code "Lily". How did the organization know that it was sent by someone else?
Xu Li smiled and said: "The signature of the message received by the organization is not only your code name, but also another character."
"Another word? What word?"
"copper."
"Which word?"
"Gold, silver, copper, and iron."
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and immediately understood that this was a word added by Tong Tong. Tong and Tong are homophonic. She finally knew not to use her real name.
"That's what happened. I couldn't get out of the station at that time, so I had to ask Tong Tong to send the report on my behalf. I didn't have time to explain this to the superiors..."
"Does she know your true identity?"
"certainly."
"But Tong Tong is not a comrade of our party..."
"This matter is very complicated. I will explain it to you slowly in the future."
"Where did she learn to send a message?"
"I taught her."
"You taught it? Why did you teach her to send a message?"
"Well... the main thing is to prevent similar situations from happening."
Xu Li pondered for a moment: "Comrade Xinyu, your identity is extremely important. What if that Miss Tong..."
"Absolutely not." Jiang Xinyu said firmly.
Xu Li said in surprise: "Do you trust her so much?"
Jiang Xinyu was a little embarrassed. He couldn't explain this kind of thing in a few words, so he said: "In short, please rest assured in the organization, this kind of thing only happens once, and it will not happen again in the future..."
