In the private room on the second floor of Yuanxiang Tea House, Jiang Xinyu ordered a pot of fragrant tablets and a plate of melon seeds, while drinking tea and watching people coming and going on the street.
A few minutes later, Xu Li's figure appeared in sight. He bought a pack of cigarettes and a newspaper across the street, and even unfolded the newspaper calmly and read it for a while.
Jiang Xinyu knew that Xu Li was observing the surroundings for any abnormality. This was an essential task every time the two met.
After a while, Xu Li put away the newspaper, crossed the road and entered the teahouse, went straight to the second floor and entered the box.
After sitting down, Jiang Xinyu asked: "What's so urgent?"
Xu Li picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Something happened to the dispatcher Wang Jie. I can't contact him for the time being. Therefore, in a short period of time, we have lost contact with the organization."
"What happened?"
"Wang Jie said that the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau was secretly investigating him. In addition, he felt that someone was following him recently."
"Do you know who the other party is?"
Xu Li shook his head: "It's not clear yet."
"Is the radio station still in your house?"
"This time my wife and children are here, and it is inconvenient to send the radio at home. I originally wanted Wang Jie to take the radio away, but he has been targeted, so he can only leave it at my house temporarily."
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while: "Don't you know how to send a report?"
Xu Li said: "When I was in Special Branch, I also studied for a while, and my proficiency was not as good as that of a professional telegraph operator. However, even if I could send telegraph messages, I only lived in two rooms, and my wife and children were at home almost all day long...
…”
Jiang Xinyu frowned: "The problem is, Chief No. 9 is coming soon. How can we do it without a radio station? If we can't contact him then, it will be troublesome."
Xu Li had already made a plan and said: "Do you think this will work? There is a telegraph operator over at Feilong. Let's borrow it temporarily..."
"The more people know about this, the more likely it is to leak the secret. Besides, it is also against discipline to do so without receiving orders from superiors."
"What should we do?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while: "I'll take the radio station first, and I'll contact the head of No. 9 directly."
Xu Li hesitated and said: "You mean, the radio station is placed in your home?"
Jiang Xinyu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Why, are you worried about my transmission technology?"
"That's not true. It's mainly for your safety. If something goes wrong..." Xu Li didn't say anything and shook his head slightly.
His meaning was very clear. The radio station was hidden in Jiang Xinyu's house. If the enemy discovered it, it would be irrefutable evidence.
Whether it is Shen Zhifeng or Feng Qingshan, anyone who doubts Jiang Xinyu is only in the suspicion stage. Without real evidence, no one dares to easily touch the operation captain of the Secrecy Bureau.
You know, in order to gain a firm foothold in the Secrecy Bureau, Jiang Xinyu has been building his own sphere of influence step by step in the past few years.
At Yanjin Station, he had Qiao Mucai as his backer. The two had a teacher-student relationship as well as a partnership with common interests.
By investigating Ma Hansan's case, Director Mao became Jiang Xinyu's strongest supporter. Jiang Xinyu was not only promoted to colonel, but his status at Yanjin Station also increased.
On the surface, the Intelligence Department has the most power, and the Director of the Intelligence Department is naturally the second-largest person in the station. In fact, everyone knows that Jiang Xinyu is the one Qiao Mucai trusts the most.
With these hidden advantages, Jiang Xinyu is no longer as simple as an intelligence agent. He has access to the most core secrets, which is crucial to the future direction of the situation in Yanjin.
Therefore, the organization attaches great importance to this line. As long as Jiang Xinyu needs anything, all underground organization intelligence networks in Yanjin and their superiors will mobilize all means to provide assistance.
Take Chen Lizhi, codenamed Feilong, for example. He originally only had one-way communication with his contact person and had no horizontal contact with other intelligence networks. This was to ensure his own safety.
In order to cooperate with Jiang Xinyu's plan and successfully send the batch of penicillin out of the city, the superior made an exception and told Jiang Xinyu the identity of Feilong, although Jiang Xinyu already knew that Chen Lizhi was Feilong.
On the other hand, Chen Lizhi did not know who Lily was, which shows the importance of Jiang Xinyu in the organization.
As long as no conclusive evidence is found by the enemy, Jiang Xinyu can get maximum security. Xu Li thinks that placing the radio station in his home is a bit too risky.
Jiang Xinyu understood what he was thinking and said: "I will be careful. After this period of time, the problem with the transmitter is solved, and I will send the radio back to you."
Xu Li thought about it, but there was no better way. After all, the head of No. 9 went to Yanjin to meet Jiang Xinyu, so he must have an important mission.
"Okay, how can I hand over the radio station to you?" Xu Li asked.
Jiang Xinyu was stunned when he heard this: "You can just bring it tomorrow, or I can go to your house to pick it up."
Xu Li shook his head: "I am so anxious to ask you to meet, because apart from the radio station, there is another thing."
"What's up?"
"Yesterday at noon, Shen Xue made an appointment with me to talk about dropping out of school. We made an appointment to meet at the Ushun Teahouse. Who would have thought that before we even exchanged a few words, Shen Zhifeng suddenly appeared. He said he was passing by.
Through Shen Xue's introduction, I heard that I am also from Zhejiang, and he was very enthusiastic."
“Which Ushun Tea House?”
"The one near Girls' Middle School, next to Huangjijiang Bone Shop."
"Shen Zhifeng's family is in Xinminli. He can't be passing by the girls' middle school. They are going in completely opposite directions. Lao Xu, you have to be careful. I think this is more like a set-up."
"Yes, I also find it strange that there is such a coincidence. Moreover, I can also see that Shen Xue has been a little unnatural since Shen Zhifeng came."
Jiang Xinyu said: "Love makes you blind. Shen Xue may not mean to harm you, but I don't think she will refuse whatever Shen Zhifeng asks her to do."
"Love? You mean, what kind of relationship are the two of them...?" Xu Li was somewhat surprised. He didn't know what happened between Shen Xue and Shen Zhifeng.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Yes."
Xu Li nodded: "Oh, that's no wonder... However, Shen Zhifeng is courageous enough. He has a wife and is entangled in the relationship between men and women, so he is not afraid of the Secrecy Bureau investigating him?"
Jiang Xinyu was lost in thought for a while, then sighed involuntarily and said: "As the saying goes, one step is wrong and the other is wrong. Sometimes people can't help themselves..."
He now understood why Xu Li was suddenly targeted by Shen Zhifeng when he said how to give the radio station to him. This was not a good sign.
Xu Li didn't know what Jiang Xinyu was thinking. What he was most concerned about now was how to safely hand over the radio station to Jiang Xinyu.
