A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and raindrops fell.
Liu Deli quickly crossed the road, opened the car door, sat in, and said, "The rain is coming so fast. It rains just as soon as I tell you. Fortunately, I brought an umbrella."
Jiang Xinyu opened his briefcase, took out a thin thread-bound book from it, and said: "Wang Xiuchu's Ten Diaries of Yangzhou, Qing Dynasty manuscript."
Liu Deli took the book and said in surprise: "Where did it come from?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "Zhang Jinbiao knew that I like old things, so he bought it from an old scholar."
Liu Deli flipped through a few pages and sighed: "Oh, nearly 600,000 unarmed people were massacred in Yangzhou in ten days. Only animals can do such a thing!"
"If there were more national heroes like Shi Kefa in the Ming Dynasty, history might have to be rewritten..."
"Yes, it's a pity that the building will collapse and it will be difficult to support it alone!"
"Let's get down to business...if anyone asks, just say I asked you to help sell this book."
"knew."
"Has Bao Changyi left the city?"
"Don't worry, we sent it out yesterday."
"The interrogation at the dock station is very strict, how did you send it out?"
"The special commissioner said that intelligence agent Long Fei made the arrangement secretly, and he didn't know the specific situation. Before leaving, Bao Changyi also hoped to see you."
"What do you want to see me for?"
"Taking back those penicillins is equivalent to saving the entire Dagu detachment. He wants to thank you in person!"
"Forget it, as long as he can keep the secret, I'll be thankful!"
"Don't worry about this. Political Commissar Bao is a proven revolutionary fighter. He also understands the discipline of underground work and will never tell a word of it!"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "Remind them that the water police have been very strict recently. It is best not to transport supplies through waterways. Let's wait until the news passes and then check the situation."
"OK."
“Is there an organizational mission?”
"Our army is preparing to launch an offensive against Siping and strive to recapture this strategic fortress. Most of the enemy's supplies are transported to the northeast through Yanjin. Therefore, the order given to us by the organization is to pay close attention to this information!"
"I understand! Old Liu, regarding Zheng Guangyao, is there anything going on here?"
Liu Deli was stunned when he heard this and said: "Zheng Guangyao? That Wu Erlang who avenged his brother?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Zheng Guangyao is fighting alone and has nothing to do with us. I have no information about him... Oh, I have some information!"
Jiang Xinyu quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"Bao Changyi mentioned this person. He said that Zheng Guangyao originally planned to go to Jizhong and join our army."
"oh……"
"Why did you suddenly mention Zheng Guangyao?"
"It's nothing, I just don't feel good, and I want to know something about the situation..."
Jiang Xinyu understood that Zheng Guangyao had committed an unpardonable felony and had no choice but to try to seek refuge in Jizhong.
Liu Deli lit a cigarette, looked at the dense raindrops outside the car window, and said: "Thankfully we got rid of Zhao Zhuo. This guy is also a hidden danger to the special correspondent!"
"What's the meaning?"
"A few days ago, the police went to Shunfa Trading House with Zhao Zhuo's photo, saying they were looking for witnesses. Only then did the special commissioner realize that the person posing as a businessman turned out to be an agent of the Secrecy Bureau!
"Pretending to be a businessman?"
"Yes! Zhao Zhuo often interacts with some business people and has also met the special commissioner once."
"What kind of businessman is he pretending to be?"
"He himself said that he specializes in the alcohol business and has a large amount of British goods..."
Jiang Xinyu interrupted Liu Deli and asked: "What kind of business is the special correspondent doing recently?"
"In order to hide his identity, he was negotiating a deal of alcohol with a British banker..." Liu Deli shut up.
He also realized what a coincidence that the special correspondent was in the alcohol business, and Zhao Zhuo happened to be in the alcohol business as well. This was clearly a targeted plan!
Liu Deli said: "So, the special commissioner has been exposed?"
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a while and said: "That's not the case. If he had been exposed, I would have received an arrest order long ago. However, I still suggest that the special commissioner should evacuate Yanjin as soon as possible!"
Liu Deli thought for a while and said, "Could it be Zhao Zhuo's personal behavior?"
"Unlikely, it should be Shen Zhifeng's instruction. Perhaps, there are already intelligence agencies around Shunfa Trading House!"
"Okay, I'll notify the special correspondent as soon as possible!"
"Also, write another secret letter to Sayuri Yamaguchi, still in the tone of fellow Zhao Zhuo, and then arrange a scene where she tries to escape..."
Jiang Xinyu suddenly felt very tired, as if he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, and he would be bitten if he was not careful!
"what time is it?"
"Ten minutes to seven."
"I have to go."
"good."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. The special commissioner asked me to have a talk with you."
"What to talk about?"
"Regarding Hattori Mina's issue, you must not take it seriously. This is an organizational discipline requirement and is not directed at a specific person..."
"No need to say it, I understand."
“It’s good if you understand!”
Just as Liu Deli was about to open the door and get out of the car, Jiang Xinyu stopped him and said, "Old Liu, my wife's name is Jiang Mina, and Hattori Mina is a thing of the past!"
Liu Deli looked at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's just a name, why bother with it? It can be seen from this that you still have concerns about Jiang Mei Nai!"
Seeing that Jiang Xinyu didn't speak, Liu Deli smiled and said, "When it's convenient, let's sit down and have a good talk!"
Watching Liu Deli holding his umbrella and walking away, Jiang Xinyu immediately turned the car and drove towards Yunhe North Street.
When I got home, I heard the door ring, and Hattori Mina came out with a big belly. She took the briefcase from Jiang Xinyu's hand and said, "Xinyu, have you eaten?"
"Not yet." Jiang Xinyu took off his hat and hung it on the coat rack.
"Wait a moment, I'll bring out the food."
"Where's Xiaolan?"
"Going home, just left, her brother is getting married tomorrow."
With Hattori Mina's clumsy body, how could Jiang Xinyu let her serve him? He said, "You go in and rest, I'll heat up the food."
Hattori Mina smiled brightly and said, "Am I that useless? I can't even serve my own husband."
Jiang Xinyu was still worried and followed Mina Hattori into the kitchen and said, "I'll do it..."
Hattori Mina opened the lid of the pot, and the heat suddenly came out. She smiled and said: "Okay, no need to argue, the food is hot, Xiaolan is really a careful little girl!"
The steaming white steamed buns, fried croaker, shredded potatoes and stir-fried chili peppers, tomato, seaweed and egg drop soup all whet your appetite just by looking at them.
"Brother Xiaolan is getting married, why haven't I heard her mention it?" Jiang Xinyu said while eating.
Hattori Mina sat aside, eating with Jiang Xinyu, and said: "Xiaolan only asked for leave to go home after she finished cooking dinner, leaving me in the dark."
"She doesn't want to trouble us..."
"Yeah, I didn't have time to prepare. I happened to have two quilts at home, and I also gave them a red envelope, which is a little bit of kindness for us."
"My Mei Nei is becoming more and more sensible. That little girl who always acts coquettishly and cries will never come back!" Jiang Xinyu said with a smile.
Hattori Mina pouted and said in a feint, "It's Rongrong who cries like a baby, I don't have one!"
"Where's Rongrong?"
"I went to bed early. I played in the yard all day and was tired from running. Oh, wait a minute..."
Hattori Mina stood up, came to the cabinet, took out a letter from the drawer, and said, "There's a letter from home."
Jiang Xinyu took a look at the envelope. It was his father's handwriting. He opened it and read it again. The content of the letter was very simple. His parents wanted them to take their children back to Jiangshan to visit relatives.
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a while and said, "Mina, my family wants us to go back. I want to hear your opinion?"
Hattori Mina said: "This is the third letter. I think we should go back. Rongrong hasn't met her grandparents yet, and they definitely want to see their children."
Jiang Xinyu sighed and said: "I also want to go back, but as you can see, the station is so busy and there is no time at all. How about this, you take Rongrong back and stay longer...
"
Hattori Mina said in shock: "Should I go back by myself?"
"I will send someone to escort you. In addition, Xiaolan will also go back with you to help you take care of Rongrong. Of course, this will happen after you give birth."
Hattori Mina thought for a while, looked at Jiang Xinyu, and said, "Xinyu, are you hiding something from me? In the previous letters from home, you didn't tell me to go back by myself."
Jiang Xinyu touched Mei Na's face and said with a smile: "Not only are you becoming more sensible, but you are also becoming more thoughtful. What can I hide from you? If you really don't want to go, then forget it!"
"I didn't say I didn't want to go, let me think about it again..." Hattori Mina muttered.
