Liu Deli was preparing to take a rest when there was a knock on the door outside the house, "Tuk Tuk!"
"Who is it?"
"I."
Liu Deli opened the door, and Wang Xuelin walked in.
"It's so late, why are you still here?"
"Emergency situations!"
"What happened?"
Wang Xuelin recounted what happened in the archives section at noon from beginning to end.
Liu Deli frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you wait a day or two more?"
"The Security Bureau held a meeting in the morning and said that it was the headquarters' wish that all Class A documents be kept in the confidential room...the documents will be sent out in the afternoon. If I don't take action, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
"You've basically been exposed. Wang Xinrui won't believe your explanation!"
"Even if she doesn't believe it, I don't think...she would report me."
"Why?"
"Old Liu, you also know the relationship between me and her..."
Liu Deli's eyes flashed and he said: "Let me remind you, don't believe too much in so-called feelings. Her feelings for you are based on the fact that you are a member of the Secrecy Bureau and the eldest son of the Wang family, not someone who is against the government.
Communist Party!”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Wang Xinrui didn't report you at that time, which shows that she was also hesitating. After all, you are an unmarried couple. It is unrealistic to say that you have no feelings at all..."
Liu Deli clasped his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the room twice. He quickly made a decision in his mind and said: "Comrade Xuelin, before Wang Xinrui changes his mind, you can leave Yanjin early tomorrow morning!"
"Leave Yanjin?"
"Yes! Without further ado, you should leave tonight. However, the city gate is closed now and the waterway is not safe. You go back and pack up and leave early in the morning!"
"I've finally gained a foothold in the Secrecy Bureau, and I'm really unwilling to give up so easily!"
"Believe me, as a veteran underground for many years, I still have this ability to judge. By the time Wang Xinrui figures it out, it will be too late!"
"But if Wang Xinrui didn't want to report it, would it seem that we were too reckless if I just left like this?"
This possibility is not impossible. Liu Deli thought for a moment and said, "Does your family have business in Peking?"
"Yes. There is a printing and dyeing factory near Di'anmen."
"You call Wu Jingrong early tomorrow morning to ask for leave, and tell him to help the family go to Peking to deal with urgent business matters. Remember, don't call at home, be sure to call when you are about to leave the city!"
"you mean……"
"Leave Yanjin for a while first. If we can confirm that Wang Xinrui has not reported you, it will not be too late to come back then!"
"Oh, this is best. But the reason for asking for leave... I'm worried that Wu Jingrong won't agree."
"With the relationship between your two families, he can not only agree, but also help you conceal the truth and give a reasonable explanation to the outside world. Of course, this is all based on the premise that Wang Xinrui has not reported you!"
"Okay..." Even if Wang Xuelin was reluctant, he had to obey the orders of his superiors unconditionally. Besides, Liu Deli's worries were justified.
Liu Deli thought about it, but still felt a little uneasy, and said: "In addition, before the danger is resolved, do not try to contact me, and do not tell anyone your hiding place, including Wang Xinrui!"
"knew."
"Have you sent away the meeting minutes?"
"Sent him off. Before leaving get off work, Zhou Junchen sent someone to take away all the Class A documents."
"Oh...don't you have any impression of the contents of the minutes?"
"There were too many. There were more than 20 pages in total. I didn't have time to read them. I was just taking pictures... It's a pity that the film was exposed to Wang Xinrui."
"It's really a pity to fall short of the success!" Liu Deli sighed sadly.
Wang Xuelin recalled it and said: "However, there is a picture in it, I can identify it..."
"What picture?"
"It should be a construction drawing."
"Construction drawings?"
"Yes! The location is between the Tomb of Heroes and the Salt Factory in the western suburbs."
Wang Xuelin was born and raised in the local area and received a higher education. Even if he only glanced at it briefly, he could judge the general direction of the construction drawings.
…………
Early the next morning.
No. 29 Yunhe Street North, Wu Jingrong's home.
Arriving at the door of Wang Xinrui's room, Mrs. Wu reached out and knocked on the door and said, "Xinrui, come out for dinner."
"Aunt, you can eat it, I don't want to eat it." Wang Xinrui said in a muffled voice.
Mrs. Wu thought for a moment, then opened the door and walked in. She saw Wang Xinrui sitting in front of the dressing mirror, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.
"Xinrui, what's wrong?"
"Aunt, I'm fine. I just have no appetite..."
"Whatever you want to eat, let the servants cook it for you."
"Aunt, don't bother me. I'm actually... not in a good mood."
Thinking that her family was thousands of miles away and there was no one around her to whom she could confide her concerns, Wang Xinrui felt sad for a moment and tears fell down her cheeks.
At this time, Mrs. Wu panicked and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?...Are you homesick?"
As soon as she mentioned home, Wang Xinrui became even more excited. She turned around and fell on her aunt's shoulder. Her tears were like a river bursting its embankment, and she cried until she couldn't make a sound.
At this time, the phone rang in the living room, and then the voice of Wu Jingrong answered the phone.
Mrs. Wu said warmly: "Well, you are such a big girl. When you marry in Yanjin, do you still have to cry every now and then?"
Wang Xinrui shook her head. She felt extremely aggrieved. Wang Xuelin, whom she thought she could trust for life, turned out to be a communist!
Concealment and deception are certainly annoying, but that is not the most important thing. The most important thing is, what can I do in the future?
The question is, does the two of them still have a future?
Do you think nothing has happened and you can marry him with peace of mind?
Wang Xinrui is a very sophisticated girl. She rarely loses control like today. Mrs. Wu felt strange and asked tentatively: "Xinrui, did you have a fight with Xuelin?"
Wang Xinrui sat up straight, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said, "Aunt, I'm fine."
"Let me guess, I must have had a quarrel with Xuelin! Right?"
Seeing Wang Xinrui's silence, Mrs. Wu became even more convinced that her guess was correct.
She casually pulled up a chair, sat down next to Wang Xinrui, and said earnestly: "When I was young, your uncle and I often quarreled and quarreled, it was no big deal. Besides, Xinrui, it's not my aunt who talks to outsiders.
We won’t suffer from Xuelin’s appearance, family, and work. Sometimes we should give him a little more credit, because men don’t always have a good face.”
Wang Xinrui sighed lightly and said, "Oh, I'm afraid everything is just a passing thing!"
She almost stayed up all night last night, tossing and turning thinking about this matter. Faced with such a major change, what should she do...
