Mrs. Fan finished cleaning up the dishes, came to the living room, and said, "Old Fan, let's go for a walk?"
Fan Bin browsed the newspaper at a glance and said without raising his head: "It's a cold day, wouldn't it be nice to stay at home?"
"Ju Fucheng has had a huge discount on fabrics these days. I want to buy some good materials to make a suit for you."
"Why waste that money? It's not like I have nothing to wear."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's get something new."
Fan Bin snorted and said, "You are a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking! You want to make a cheongsam for yourself again, right?"
Mrs. Fan said unhappily: "Military families have parties, and other wives are dressed in high-end goods. I am the shabbiest in my clothes. If you don't think I'm embarrassing you, then don't go!"
Fan Bin thought for a while, put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and said, "If I don't go with you, I'll make trouble again when I return to my parents' home!"
Mrs. Fan immediately turned from anger to joy and said in a feint of anger: "I don't think so. After all these years of being married to you, I never go home without praising you as much as possible!"
Mrs. Fan comes from an ordinary family and is not interested in politics. She does not know Fan Bin's true identity and thinks that her husband is just a government official.
A black car parked on the street, and Jiang Xinyu sat in the car. He had been waiting for more than half an hour, just waiting for such an opportunity.
Because it was related to the safety of hundreds of guerrillas, Jiang Xinyu was extremely anxious and hesitant to take the risk of going to see Fan Bin. It was only now that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Twenty minutes later, Fujucheng opened a department store.
Mrs. Fan was immersed in the joy of shopping. She gave Fan Bin her satchel and coat and said, "Hold it for me, I'll pick out two pieces of material!"
Fan Bin warned: "Just buy your own, don't buy it for me."
"Hey, just leave it alone!" Mrs. Fan couldn't wait to squeeze to the counter.
Fan Bin shook his head helplessly, found a bench and sat down, put his bag and coat aside, and waited boredly.
Jiang Xinyu stood in the corner and looked around for a while. After making sure that no one was watching Fan Bin, he walked over.
He walked past Fan Bin, very discreetly threw a paper ball on Mrs. Fan's coat, and whispered: "I am Lily, don't look back!"
Fan Bin was an experienced agent, and his expression did not show any fluctuation. His body still faced the counter, and he calmly held the ball of paper in his hand.
After a while, he stood up and came to Mrs. Fan's side and said, "You pick slowly, I'll go to the toilet."
"Go, go!" Mrs. Fan concentrated on selecting the dazzling fabrics and had no time to pay attention to Fan Bin.
Fan Bin glanced toward the door. There were people coming and going, and he couldn't see who was throwing the paper ball at him.
He quickly went downstairs to the toilet on the first floor, closed the partition door, and carefully unfolded the paper ball.
After reading the content, Fan Bin was secretly surprised. This incident was so sudden that he didn't even give himself a chance to prepare!
He tore up the paper and threw it into the toilet. He stretched out his hand and pulled the water tank drawstring. With a crash, the paper scraps were flushed into the sewer.
Jiang Xinyu's suggestion was to send people up the mountain to Longquangou overnight to notify the guerrillas to move immediately before the garrison was mobilized!
Fan Bin knows that this method is indeed the most direct and effective!
The person sent must be very familiar with Yushuling, otherwise, it would be impossible to find Longquan Valley in the dark night and in the snow-covered mountains!
Fan Bin glanced at his watch. It was exactly seven o'clock now, so he had to hurry up on this matter.
It takes more than two hours to get from the city to Yushuling, and at least an hour and a half to go up the mountain, and the enemy's attack plan is at zero o'clock!
"Have you finished shopping?" Fan Bin returned to the counter and patted his wife on the shoulder.
"No... do you think the color is good?" Mrs. Fan showed Fan Bin a piece of fabric with great interest.
Fan Bin frowned and said, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable..."
"What's wrong?"
"Maybe the wind blew out when we came out."
"How many times have I told you to try not to talk when walking against the wind, but you just don't listen!"
"You pick slowly, I'm going back first, I guess I'll be fine after taking a rest."
"Forget it, I'll go back too."
The couple left Fujucheng and got into a car parked outside.
Fan Bin was anxious and drove the car very fast along the way. Fortunately, it was ice and snow, and there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the street.
The twenty-minute drive took only ten minutes to get there.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Fan Bin said, "You go home first, and I'll go to the drugstore to buy some Shunqi pills."
"Why didn't you buy it just now?"
"I just remembered."
"Drive slower!" Mrs. Fan opened the door and got out of the car, turned around and said.
"I know, come on in!" Fan Bin turned the car and drove north.
Half an hour later, the car stopped near Xiangyou Alley.
Fan Bin's traffic officer Luo Yongqing lives here.
Fan Bin sat in the car and observed for a while, then got out of the car and came to a door. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, "Tuk-tuk! Tuk-tuk!"
"Who is it?" someone in the room asked.
"Me." Fan Bin looked back.
According to organizational disciplines, unless it was an emergency, he would not go directly to the traffic officer's house without contacting him in advance.
The door creaked, and Luo Yongqing stepped forward to let Fan Bin into the room, then leaned forward and looked outside, and then closed the door.
Luo Yongqing asked: "Lao Fan, why are you here at this time?"
Fan Bin: "Is there no one else at home?"
"No."
"Listen to me, you go out of the city immediately, find Cao Yunfei's guerrillas, and tell them that the enemy will attack Yushu Ridge at midnight tonight!"
"Attack on Elm Ridge? Is the intelligence reliable?"
"reliable!"
"But, in such a big Yushu Ridge, where can I find them?"
"Do you know Longquangou?"
"I know, I went there in the summer."
"The guerrillas are right there! Time is running out, we must find them before the enemy attacks!"
"clear!"
"Hurry up and clean up, I'll take you to the city gate!"
Although Luo Yongqing is from Yanjin, he is not very familiar with Yushu Ridge. Especially going into the mountains at night is an experience he has never had before!
But he also knows that this matter is extremely urgent and now is not the time to talk about difficulties. No matter how difficult it is, he must complete the task!
Luo Yongqing found a flashlight, put on a cotton coat, hat and gloves, and followed Fan Bin outside. The two of them quickly got into the car one after the other.
Fan Bin stepped on the accelerator and the car sped towards the city gate.
This is a time of peace, there are no time restrictions on people entering and exiting the city, and ordinary citizens will basically not be subject to interrogation.
Fan Bin has a special status. He cannot leave the city at night without any reason, so he can only send Luo Yongqing to the city gate.
"Bring this with you!" Fan Bin handed his gun to Luo Yongqing.
Luo Yongqing: "Why are you bringing a gun?"
Fan Bin: "The first is to defend yourself, and the second is, if you can't find the guerrillas, fire a warning shot near Longquan Valley!"
