The whistle blew, and the train slowly pulled out of Shanghai North Railway Station.
In Car No. 6, Xu Siqi and Gu Qingcheng were sitting opposite each other. Apart from them, there were no other passengers on the seats.
"It's such a coincidence that the carriages and seats are all together, which is great. There are people talking and chatting on the road..."
"It's not a coincidence."
"ah?"
"Major Xu, there are only two of us now, do you want to continue acting?"
"...Linglong, what are you talking about? I can't understand a word."
Gu Linglong smiled, looked at Xu Siqi for a while, and suddenly said: "Mr. Zou asked me to tell you that Huashang Electric has postponed delivery, and it is estimated that there will be arbitrage news next Monday."
Xu Siqi was speechless for a long time.
"You need a telegraph operator. We have recently found one. We are still in the investigation stage. When the time is right, she will take the initiative to contact you..."
As early as a month ago, based on various factors, Zhou Weilong decided to assign Xu Siqi a telegraph operator and agreed on a code word for communication in advance.
And what Gu Linglong said was exactly the operator's secret code for communication.
"Why you?" Xu Siqi sighed softly.
Gu Linglong smiled and said, "Why, you don't want it to be me?"
"right."
"Why?"
"Can you tell me how this happened? You attended the telecommunications class offered by the Military Command, and why did you suddenly join the Secret Service?"
"The Secret Service and the Military Command Department are both affiliated with the Military Commission. They just transfer a telecommunications trainee. This kind of thing is easy to coordinate..."
A cheerful song was playing on the radio, covering up the conversation between the two people who deliberately lowered their voices.
Gu Linglong continued: "Actually, when people from the Secret Service approached me, I refused at first. Later, Mr. Zhou came to me personally and said that no one is more suitable for this job than me. The most important thing is,
I want to stay in Shanghai, and if I join the Military Command, I will go to Nanjing to work."
“Isn’t Nanjing great?”
"My family and friends are all in Shanghai, and I don't want to leave them..."
Normally, a telegraph operator is a civilian job? Doesn’t one need to participate in dangerous operational tasks? On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it.
Xu Siqi thought for a while and said sincerely: "Linglong? From the perspective of a friend, I hope you can work in the Military Command Department? After all, at any time, the Military Command Department is the rear area? At least it will be safe. As for the Secret Service, you
It’s still too late to regret now. For your father’s sake, Station Master Zhou won’t embarrass you? Besides…”
The circles under Gu Linglong's eyes turned red? Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
Xu Siqi immediately stopped talking, took out a handkerchief and handed it over, asking: "Linglong, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I just feel aggrieved."
"..." "It's all because of you that I agreed to join the Secret Service."
"because I?"
"Have you ever thought about it? Why did the Secret Service come to me? Why did I agree? This happened a month ago. I thought at the time that we..."
Hear what Gu Linglong said? Only then did Xu Siqi suddenly realize.
A month ago, she and Gu Qingcheng established a legal relationship? Gu Linglong, who was far away in Hangzhou, didn't know it. She was still immersed in wishful expectations.
In Zhou Weilong's view, if Gu Linglong agreed to join the Secret Service, would she serve as Xu Siqi's dispatcher? It would be equivalent to adding double insurance in terms of safety.
On the other hand, among the hundreds of students in the telecommunications training class, Gu Linglong was the one with the best grades. Of course, such an outstanding talent must be recruited into the Secret Service as much as possible.
Therefore, Zhou Weilong personally went to Hangzhou and informed Gu Linglong of Xu Siqi's secret service identity in a relatively obscure way.
He believed that with Gu Linglong's intelligence, she would guess that the intelligence agent Yingzhao was actually Xu Siqi himself.
No matter what considerations he had, even if he did not agree to join the Secret Service in the end, Gu Linglong would not reveal the matter.
All possible outcomes are within Zhou Weilong's control.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Xu Siqi felt helpless. He was silent for a while and said in a difficult tone: "Linglong, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that because of me, it would have such a big impact on you. However,
Don’t worry, I will explain this matter to Webmaster Zhou in person..."
"No need!" Gu Linglong interrupted Xu Siqi's words.
After stabilizing her mood a little, she continued: "If I wanted to go back on my word, I wouldn't have gone to Nanjing at all. Even if you didn't explain, Station Master Zhou wouldn't dare to do anything to me. The last time I met you, I suddenly felt that being an agent was quite interesting, at least it was more interesting than commuting to get off work step by step every day, so I decided to stay and accept this job."
"exquisite……"
"You don't have to be mentally burdened. This time it was my own decision. It was not because of you."
"Would your family agree?"
"They didn't know that I joined the Secret Service. They thought I was in the Military Command. Besides, the Secret Service works secretly, so I wouldn't tell them."
"Are you going to keep hiding this from your family?"
"Does Qingcheng know about your affairs?" Gu Linglong asked.
Xu Siqi shook his head: "She doesn't know."
Gu Linglong said seriously: "So, we are all the same now, whether it is from family or friends, we must hide everything. This is discipline, I understand."
Xu Siqi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Linglong, have you really thought about giving up your leisurely and easy job and choosing to be an agent? Is it worth it?"
Gu Linglong thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want to know what Station Master Zhou promised?"
"In no mood."
"If you don't want to know, I have to tell you. Webmaster Zhou said that only in the intelligence department, telecommunications talents will be useful. As long as I keep studying, I will become an outstanding telecommunications expert!"
“…”
"Also, from the day I joined the Secret Service, I already had the rank of lieutenant, which is a higher starting point than most people. Now I feel more and more that joining the Secret Service is not a bad thing..."
Looking at Gu Linglong's confident eyes, Xu Siqi didn't know what to say.
He looked at the empty seats on both sides and asked, "Why are there no other passengers in our seats?"
Gu Linglong smiled slightly, took out two other tickets from her pocket, and said, "Stationmaster Zhou sent someone to buy four tickets, which means he has booked this place."
"What are you doing in Nanjing?"
"Like you, join the special training class at the headquarters. Oh, stationmaster Zhou said, after arriving in Nanjing, let us go to No. 53 Ji'e Lane, Beimen Bridge first."
"What is that place?"
"Boss Dai's residence is also his office. This is what Webmaster Zhou said. He asked me to tell you."
