They are engaged in selling information and making a lot of money, so naturally they have to ensure the safety of their purchasing customers, and who the identities of these customers are is naturally not their concern.
Today, Mai Fan once again came to the bar of Leicester Club.
This time, he didn't come here to drink the most famous gin here.
He came here to contact the bartender here to confirm his identity, and to get in touch with the intelligence station's top line.
The process went surprisingly smoothly.
Mai Fan didn't expect that the boy who stood behind the bar every day and mixed drinks would be part of their communication line.
What’s more, what he didn’t expect was that their ‘own people’ would also sneak into the Xiangcheng Japanese and puppet government.
The translator accompanying the Japanese garrison commander turned out to be his top line, that is, the supplier of the source of intelligence.
A lot of important military information was obtained from this lurker.
Previously, the intelligence officer who contacted the translator was sent by Mr. Gu to the offshore market that needed emergency support.
The only person Xiangcheng can use is Mai Fan, and he can only be connected with this upline.
Mai Fan's appearance surprised the translator.
Because he has met Mai Fan many times in this club.
He regarded Mai Fan as a rich man with a fairly good background, who was somewhat dissolute and innocent, but also somewhat reckless and kind.
When they met again now, the translator Ding Ran discovered that... there was a huge gap between what he had thought and reality.
Is it really possible?
With such doubts, Ding Ran carefully contacted Mai Fan twice.
Both of these tasks were completed by Mai Fan covertly and quickly, and the other party's execution ability was even better than he imagined.
It was precisely because of this outstanding performance that Ding Ran made his final determination.
He decided to pass an important piece of information to Mai Fan.
"I decided to steal the information about the garrison commander's military deployment and mobilization of a certain unit in East China, and you will upload it to the headquarters."
Mai Fan was a little worried: "In your current position, you don't have access to such critical information, right? Isn't this a bit too forced?"
Ding Ran was still somewhat confident about this: "It's okay, I've been working inside them for so long, and I didn't work in vain."
"Once I get this information, I will put it in a secret mailbox that only the two of us know."
"When the news passes, unless I take the initiative to contact you and tell you that the alarm has been lifted...otherwise, just think that I have had an accident."
"Remember, you must not take the initiative to contact me. The two of us are like strangers who met by chance. We have never had anything to do with each other."
Mai Fan nodded, his heart a little heavy.
Because according to his judgment, Ding Ran's action this time was very risky.
But he couldn't say much.
There are clear regulations in the organization when the importance of an information exceeds the role of the person providing the information.
So no matter what position this person is in, he must put the acquisition of information first.
During their on-the-job training, one of the first things they made clear was: the interests of the country and the people are above all else.
Compared with this premise, other issues are secondary.
Mai Fan did not persuade him, he watched his superior leave silently.
When he returned to Mr. Gu's residence and specifically told his teacher about the incident, Gu Shenyan, who never showed his emotions on the surface, remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, when Mai Fan was wondering whether he should withdraw first and leave his husband alone, his teacher suddenly said: "He is my friend's nephew."
"He also has an older brother who is now in Chongqing."
"These two are the only descendants of my friends. They were entrusted to me to take care of before they died. I brought them up. In the blink of an eye, they are now able to stand alone."
For some reason, Mai Fan felt a lump in his chest. He turned around and asked the teacher: "Won't you stop him?"
Whether as his superior or as his adoptive relative.
Is it really impossible to stop it?
Gu Shenyan smiled, but Mai Fan felt that his heart was crying.
Mr. Gu turned his back to him and answered without any sadness or joy: "I won't. What he has to face is the ideal of his own belief. He has already made a choice, and I have no right to interfere with it."
Prevented."
Mr. Gu sighed, his voice distant and melancholy: "It's getting late, you should go back to the apartment."
"Don't do anything these days, just keep an eye on the contact lines you agreed with him."
"Don't let Ding Ran's hard work go to waste, whether it's success or failure..."
"Which step you will take in the end, you will tell me the result..."
….
Yes, sir, Mai Fan had many words stuck in his throat that he did not say.
He turned around and silently closed the door for his teacher.
…
In the next few days, Mai Fan was uncharacteristically calm and spent his days in an inexplicable anxiety.
Hua Yingying couldn't bear to see Mai Fan living like this. After cleaning up the young master's daily life, she took on the task of connecting with the outside world.
Before that, Hua Yingying had always played a peripheral supporting role.
In Xiangcheng, she knows many more people, has many lines of contact, and has many more relationships with lower-level members of the action team than Mai Fan does.
There were many fringe people or brokers who only needed money to buy her off, and they all had encounters with Hua Yingying.
This is Mr. Gu's protection for Mai Fan. He used an inconspicuous girl to share most of the dangers around Mai Fan.
At this time, Hua Yingying rushed to the front again.
"Brother Xiaofan?"
"Um?"
"There is something going on over there, Mr. Ding."
Upon hearing the news, Mai Fan stood up from his chair.
He passed by the secret mailbox three times in a row in the past few days, and each time he returned empty-handed.
So he asked eagerly: "What's the news?"
…
"Mr. Ding came out of the garrison headquarters and made a lot of noise."
…
"When did this happen?"
"Just now, in front of the garrison office building."
Mai Fan turned around and put the pistol he carried into his arms. He gave the next order to Hua Yingying: "Wait for me at home."
"If I don't come back tonight, you can go find Mr. Gu the next morning."
Hua Yingying was shocked when she heard this: "No, I can't let you go!"
"If you want to go, I will go for you. Mr. Gu has said that your existence is more meaningful than anyone else in the group."
"In times of crisis, even if you sacrifice me, you will be saved."
What Hua Yingying said made Mai Fan pause. His face was full of anger and great sadness. He asked Hua Yingying: "Did Mr. tell you these words?"
