The Spy

Chapter 225 In the dark
Xu Qingyun and Yan Ming’s guess was correct, the killer did have other ideas.

Although Yang Qichao made a lot of money, he was very stingy. He couldn't swallow the anger after being cheated. He had to make the scammer pay the price, and no one could take his money away.

The two killers were tempted by the money, so Yang Qichao wanted to use his former subordinates to get rid of them.

Onodera persuaded him.

Yang Qichao had some old subordinates who could be used, but there was no guarantee that these people could bring back the money. Money could tempt people, and among Yang Qichao's old subordinates, there were no loyal warriors who were completely loyal to him.

After all, he was young and had changed positions several times, most of the time serving as a deputy.

The soldiers under his command had never seen so much money.

In order to avoid any complications, Onodera reported the situation to his superiors and asked the operations department to go out and kill the two killers and get the money back.

Including the killer's family.

However, they did not touch other relatives from the killer's hometown.

The more people you kill, the greater the chance of being discovered.

As for why the two killers did not touch Bailing, it was because they considered themselves not bandits and would not take advantage of a woman they saw.

They never killed women, so they asked Bailing to leave Nanjing and never come back.

Poor Bailing had no idea that the two killers who warned her were already dead, and that she would be fine if she returned to Nanjing.

As a result, I have been living in fear.

With Onodera's confession, the leak was a complete success.

"He Rongtang, go arrest his radio operator and the other two. Fang Laibao, arrest Yang Qichao and the person who leaked the information immediately."

Xu Qingyun gave the order quickly. According to Onodera's explanation, the last troop deployment information was indeed provided by Yang Qichao and Jia Taiwu. The part they were missing was found out by Yang Qichao.

For this, Onodera gave him some money separately.

The person who leaked the secret to Yang Qichao must also be arrested. Even if he can be spared the death penalty, he cannot escape being punished with life imprisonment.

Leaking such important military intelligence casually is a serious crime in itself.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao and He Rongtang received the order together. After catching the man, Xu Qingyun asked Fang Laibao to come back. As long as he confessed, there would be no need to continue the investigation on Yang Qichao.

However, they were not slow in their investigation. If He Rongtang had not acted faster, Fang Laibao and Yan Ming would have definitely been able to find evidence of Yang Qichao's guilt.

Although it was night, the intelligence department still went out.

Traitors are not tough and generally won't fight to the death, but you need to be careful with the Japanese spy radio operator.

He had a radio and a code book, and it was a high-powered radio.

High-power radio stations consume more electricity, so there must be multiple places using electricity where he lives to serve as a cover.

If an ordinary resident who only has one light bulb frequently uses a high-power radio, the power consumption alone will not match up, which will easily arouse suspicion.

As people who went out kept coming back, a steady stream of people were caught back.

This operation was not like the previous ones, where we captured several cars of people. Although the number of people was small, it was very important.

Fang Laibao, He Rongtang and others interrogated the suspects overnight and reported all the confessions to Xu Qingyun the next day.

"Teacher, this is their confession, and this is the code book."

After getting everything, Xu Qingyun immediately went to Xu Zhanjie's office. This was the case that the old man was keeping an eye on, so there was no need to write the case closing report in a hurry, so he should let the people above know the situation first.

"Okay, great."

After reading the confession, Xu Zhanjie shouted happily that the case was completed very well and not in a long time.

It is indeed a good idea to entrust any case to Xu Qingyun. He will definitely handle it beautifully for you.

"Come on, follow me to see the Director."

Xu Zhanjie didn't look closely, just simply read the confession of the Japanese spy and then stood up.

"Thank you teacher."

Xu Qingyun understood that Xu Zhanjie was taking him to show off his achievements to the director, so he thanked him specially.

"You and I are one, master and disciple. No need to be polite."

Xu Zhanjie walked in front and soon arrived at the director's office. He had made a phone call before coming and knew that the director would make time to see him no matter how busy he was.

After all, this is the case that the old man has been paying attention to.

"Very good. Don't worry about the case report yet. Qingyun, please sort out the process of solving the case and the problems encountered in the investigation. I will take you to see the chairman at the party."

The director looked at it very carefully and read everyone's confession.

There are a lot of things to report this time, not just one thing, so Xu Qingyun needs to go with him.

Xu Qingyun is the investigator and he knows the situation best.

"Yes."

Xu Qingyun lowered his head and accepted the order. In the afternoon, the director took Xu Qingyun out. The old man gave him some time and asked them to report.

The case was important, so the old man put aside other things and made time to wait for them.

"Principal, he is Xu Qingyun, and he is the one who handled this case."

When he came to the old man, the director lowered his head and introduced Xu Qingyun.

Speaking of which, the old man has heard of Xu Qingyun's name many times, but this is the first time he has seen him in person.

“Not bad, you are young and promising, the Xu family is a meritorious service, you can do better.”

The old man looked at Xu Qingyun carefully and couldn't help but nodded in praise. Xu Qingyun was young, but he had good abilities, the more so, the better.

I can serve him longer in the future.

The Xu family is a wealthy family in itself, and the old man has the support of many such wealthy families. In a sense, they are a whole.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chairman."

Xu Qingyun was not the old man's student, so he could not call him the principal. Although Chuzuo did not fully graduate, he at least attended military school. The old man was indeed his principal in name only.

"Tell me about the situation."

The old man didn't waste any time. He was very pressed for time. This case made him very angry. The Japanese took away the newly released military deployment. He even suspected that there was something the Japanese didn't know now?
The Japanese are so despicable. They keep planting spies around them. What do they want to do?
In fact, the old man knew better than anyone what the Japanese wanted, which made him even more angry.

Anyone who wants to seize his territory is an enemy, whether domestic or foreign.

"Commissioner, this time it was the Japanese Army Intelligence Department. They started planning five years ago. Onodera alone instigated four of our important officers to defect..."

Xu Qingyun first talked about the case, including the information Onodera had learned over the years.

"Damn it, you deserve to die."

Before he finished listening, the old man slammed the table in anger. These four people alone have leaked a large amount of important confidential information over the years, including their military deployment, troop movements, military combat effectiveness, some troop numbers, equipment conditions, etc.

They had absolutely no secrets at all in front of the Japanese.

No wonder he was so angry. If a war broke out suddenly now, the Japanese would know everything about them, but they knew very little about the Japanese.

In the future, he will also need to obtain intelligence from the Japanese, especially military intelligence.

"Commissioner, they really deserve to be killed. In addition to these few people, there is also..."

Xu Qingyun continued to report what he had found out this time, focusing on the two people who should be killed.

When the old man heard that someone was secretly supporting bandits, he got angry again.

The reason he was angry was not because of the harm to the people, but because of what these people wanted to do?
Privately developing armed forces, no matter how large the number, is a taboo for him. He does not want another warlord to appear in the country, let alone someone around him.

There were hundreds of bandits in this group.

It doesn't sound like much, but that's now, what about later?

Thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people?
The old man couldn't give them time to grow up.

Seeing the old man's expression, the director understood that this man was doomed, and that gang of bandits also had to be wiped out.

In contrast, the old man was not so angry about the human traffickers, but even though he was angry, he still said that the man must not be kept and must be caught.

These two people don't have any strong background.

If they really exist, they wouldn't do these dirty things. They rely on these to make money and help themselves get promoted.

"And Meng Zhitang..."

Before coming here, the chief had hinted to him to tell others about Meng Zhitang. Once the old man becomes wary, their power will increase again.

Sure enough, the old man looked a little grim: "Yunnong, keep a close eye on these people and keep track of their situation at all times."

"Don't worry, Principal. I will keep a close eye on them."

The director immediately responded that the purpose of bringing Xu Qingyun to report had been achieved.

"You have done a great job. You will be rewarded for your merit. After reporting this matter, please let me know if you need anything."

The old man finally talked about rewards, but Xu Qingyun's military rank had just been promoted, and it was impossible for him to continue to rise based on this merit alone. He could only get some material or verbal rewards.

Save up your achievements first, and then get promoted when you have enough.

"Thank you, Principal. We don't need anything. It is our duty to help you solve your problems."

Virgos are also good at talking and can gain the trust of old men, not just at doing things.

"Very well, you go back first."

The old man was indeed happy because the traitor in the General Staff had been found. He then asked them to keep it strictly confidential and make some adjustments to the previous deployment.

Too bad we can't adjust them all.

It’s okay as long as there are adjustments. At least the Japanese are not allowed to have 100% control over their situation.

"Qingyun, you have done a great job. You should be rewarded if you deserve it. Please submit the report for this commendation first. If you can, give them a promotion. Also, don't slack off on other cases. Try to find all these rats."

On the way back in the car, the director said to Xu Qingyun that Xu Qingyun handled the case very well and did not embarrass him.

He knew that Xu Qingyun still had cases to handle, and he now had absolute confidence in Xu Qingyun.

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Xu Qingyun immediately expressed his opinion. Secretary Qi, who was sitting in front of him, smiled without saying anything. The stronger the ability Xu Qingyun demonstrated, the shorter his days in the Intelligence Department would be.

Xu Qingyun was too young, and in terms of Chuzuo's level of trust, he could not compare with him at all.

At present, Xu Qingyun poses no threat to him.

After returning to the Military Intelligence Department, Xu Qingyun began to write the case closing report. After the case was closed, rewards would be given according to merit.

He Rongtang did a very good job this time, and the main credit goes to him, but Fang Laibao and Yan Ming did not do badly either. They are not people who lack credit, so it doesn't matter if they give He Rongtang more credit.

He Rongtang's awareness of the current situation has brought him considerable rewards.

Among the four groups in the Intelligence Department, the new Intelligence Group 4 is clearly ranked first. They have done so many things and made the most contributions. The other three groups cannot compare at all.

He Rongtang, who was promoted to team leader not long ago, has been ranked second.

Hou Yigong and Xiang Jiesheng, two veteran team leaders, are now at the bottom of the list.

The two men were very anxious as they were investigating the case they were in charge of. This time, they had to find the Japanese spy no matter what and could not fall too far behind Group Four and Group Two.

"Young Master."

At the police station, Xu Erxi came to Xu Qingshi's desk with a sad look on his face.

"how's it going?"

Xu Qingshi felt nervous, but he still asked.

"People are dead."

Xu Erxi shook his head slightly. The Party Affairs Investigation Office had discovered their comrade, and this comrade was being targeted by them. Today, the Party Affairs Investigation Office suddenly asked them to assist in arresting someone. After the comrade found out something was wrong, he wanted to escape but failed.

He was shot seven times and died on the spot.

After Xu Qingshi knew about this, it was too late to save people. The police would not risk their lives to help. These policemen would always try to hide when faced with someone with a gun, no matter who they were.

With such a small salary every month and the salary being deducted by the superiors, no one would work hard for it.

Unless you are a newbie.

"Where's the body?"

"He was taken away by secret agents. Now I only know his name."

Xu Erxi replied softly that after the person died, the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office took the body away, and as for the police who came to help, they didn't even bother to pay any attention to them.

Not to mention the rewards.

This shows the difference between them and the Military Intelligence Department. They have helped the Military Intelligence Department with many cases before, but they have never lost any of the rewards they deserve.

As a result, many police officers have complaints about the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

"what is his name?"

"Fan Wenmao."

Xu Erxi said the name, but that was all they knew at that time, and they didn't even know when their comrade was discovered by the spies.

They were unable to get in touch with the organization and the incident could not even be reported.

Xu Qingshi didn't say anything else, but there was a hint of melancholy in his expression. He was thinking more. Fan Wenmao had sacrificed his life, but would the spies be able to track down other comrades through him?

I don’t know where my senior brother went and I haven’t contacted him since.

He couldn't pass on this information at all.

"Remember this name and report it later."

Xu Qingshi did not let Xu Erxi investigate the matters concerning Fan Wenmao. These matters could not be investigated. Once discovered by the spies from the Party Affairs Investigation Office, both of them would be in danger.

Remember the name first and talk about it later.

"it is good."

Xu Erxi nodded slowly. On the other side, Xu Qingyun handed in the case closing report and convened a meeting at the same time.

It was still people from Group 2 and Group 4, and unlike the last meeting, everyone was in high spirits.

They completed the case and all of them were rewarded with merit.

"You did a good job this time. The chairman said that you will be rewarded if you have made contributions."

Xu Zhanjie presided over the meeting and said with a smile that he always took the old man's instructions to the director seriously. If some people's military ranks could not be promoted, they would just give them money.

Virgo is very generous and gave out a lot.

Xu Zhanjie and Xu Qingyun, as the section chief and deputy section chief, each received a reward of one thousand oceans.

He Rongtang was rewarded with five hundred dollars for the first contribution, and the deputy team leader also received three hundred dollars.

Fang Laibao's was three hundred, and Yan Ming's was two hundred.

The captains of Group 2 get 100 each, while the ordinary team members get 30. Group 4 gets a little less, with the captain getting 60 and the ordinary team members getting 20.

The team that participated in the Operations Division was rewarded with five dollars per person. The Operations Division was there for protection, and Xu Qingyun had already given them one dollar per person per day. With these five dollars, they could get more than ten dollars in rewards in just ten days, and every team member was very satisfied.

This is a monetary reward, so you still have to report the credit. Even if you can't get promoted this time, by accumulating merits, you will be able to get promoted naturally in the future when you have the chance.

However, Groups 2 and 4 still applied for promotion for some people.

Mainly military rank.

Especially in Group 2, there are still many soldiers in it. Many of them were promoted this time, and some were promoted to officers.

This is especially true for Group 4. Although Group 4 was established not long ago, after this time, almost half of the people will be promoted to officers, and the rest will be there soon, and will be promoted in a few more times.

Especially Dai Jieying, she could not be promoted this time, but as long as she made more contributions, she would definitely be promoted to lieutenant next time.

Not long after Dai Jieying graduated, her military rank rose rapidly, making many people envious.

"Everyone has a day off, but don't cause any trouble. There will be new cases when you come back."

Xu Qingyun finally said that they had worked hard for several days, so he gave them a day off to relax. After they came back, they would investigate together with Groups 1 and 3.

All the Japanese spies hiding in Nanjing must be found.

There is also the traitor in the Military Merit Department who needs to be found out.

"Section Chief, are you free tonight? Team Leader Fang and Team Leader He want to celebrate."

As soon as the meeting was over, Yan Ming came running over. He discussed with Fang Laibao and He Rongtang and decided to hold a celebratory banquet in the evening.

This time the contribution is not small, the case was handled so beautifully, let's all relax together.

The cost is very simple and comes from the small treasury.

Not only did Group 4 have a small treasury, but Group 2 also followed their example and set up a small treasury, but the money was a little less.

It doesn't matter if the money is a little less. There are only a few people in the two groups, and it won't cost too much to eat together.

It’s not delicacies from land and sea, an ordinary restaurant will do.

"no problem."

After thinking about it, Xu Qingyun agreed. The case was over and everyone had gained a lot. They were in a good mood at the moment, and having a meal together would help them strengthen their relationship.

"I'll go ask the section chief."

Yan Ming left happily, and this time the section chief he was talking about was Xu Zhanjie.

"celebrate?"

Xu Zhanjie was a little surprised, but he could understand it. If he had accomplished a great feat, he would also want to celebrate.

"Section Chief, the deputy section chief has already agreed. Will you go too?"

Yan Ming asked with a smile, Xu Zhanjie smiled and shook his head: "Since Qingyun has gone, I won't go. You guys enjoy your meal."

The ones celebrating this time are Group 2 and Group 4, and it’s also Xu Qingyun’s case.

The biggest reason why Xu Zhanjie didn't go was that he had to take care of the emotions of the next group and group three. If he went, groups one and three would be completely suppressed by groups two and four.

It will be detrimental to future unity.

Another thing is that if I go there alone, they may not let me go. It's not like Xu Zhanjie hasn't eaten before, so there's no need for him to follow me this time.

He will attend the celebration party for the whole department in the future.

However, with their encouragement, Xu Zhanjie believes that Groups 1 and 3 will work harder in the future to handle the case well and make a fortune.

Group 2 and Group 4 had made great gains this time. He didn't believe that the people in Group 1 and Group 3 could remain indifferent and watch other brothers get rich and get promoted while they themselves did nothing.

"Well, when this case is over, we'll celebrate as a whole department."

Yan Ming did not insist. He expected Xu Zhanjie not to agree, which was also the result they wanted most.

Because He Rongtang corrected his attitude early on, Group 2 and Group 4 are now the closest.

This time it's just a celebration among themselves in a small circle.

The location was chosen by He Rongtang. It was not too far from them. It was a small restaurant, but the food tasted very good. He had been there several times before.

There are private rooms and a large hall in the restaurant, which is large enough for the two groups to dine together.

In order to celebrate this event, He Rongtang informed the shopkeeper early on and asked him not to receive other guests in the evening as they had reserved the entire place.

That's how it is in a small restaurant. When there are a lot of people, it's like the whole place is reserved.

After get off work in the afternoon, people from Group 2 and Group 4 went to the hotel happily in batches.

Today, the General Affairs Department distributed all the bounties to everyone.

This time it was the director who gave the order personally, and the General Affairs Department did not dare to deduct anything. They dared to ask for help from other departments, but now the Intelligence Department is more powerful, and Xu Zhanjie is not someone who is easy to talk to.

In order to deduct their money, Xu Zhanjie dared to knock on their door.

What's more, the Intelligence Department has been arresting people and seizing treasures, allowing the General Affairs Department to make a lot of money. Now that they have a better relationship, no one dares to do this.

"Chief, this is it."

He Rongtang and Xu Qingyun were in the same car. This case brought him and Xu Qingyun closer, and he might even become Xu Qingyun's direct subordinate in the future.

“The place is not big, but the environment is OK.”

Xu Qingyun got out of the car and took a look, then smiled and said that the restaurant was indeed not big, and it was not located on the street, but was located in a courtyard of a private house.

There are several lush fruit trees planted in the yard, and the environment looks really good.

The car couldn't enter the yard. After getting out of the car, Xu Qingyun's eyes tightened slightly.

On the ground ahead, he found a familiar footprint.

Lao Liang’s footprints before.

Lao Liang didn't leave Nanjing, he moved here?
Xu Qingyun didn't say anything and went straight into the restaurant. Judging from the footprints, Lao Liang walked inside. Whether he was just passing by or lived here, he must have passed by not long ago.

The footprints were very clear, fresh marks left within half an hour.

"Chief, please take a seat and wait for a moment. I asked them to prepare the dishes in advance and they will be ready soon."

He Rongtang said to Xu Qingyun, and Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head: "It's stuffy inside. If it's not ready yet, I'll wait outside."

Other team members arrived one after another, and many of them were enjoying the cool air in the yard.

The boss was very good at doing business. He set up a table in the yard and served them tea, which they drank while waiting.

"Ask the store if they have any snacks, like melon seeds, etc. If not, we can go buy them ourselves."

Xu Qingyun suddenly said, and He Rongtang ran in immediately. There were some snacks, but not much, and no melon seeds, so he directly asked Li Yuanjie to run out and buy some.

Obviously, the section chief saw that there was only tea, so he asked people to buy some melon seeds and snacks so that the team members could drink tea and eat at the same time.

It is rare to find a superior who is so considerate of them.

Seeing Li Yuanjie going out, Xu Qingyun asked Zheng Jiming to go with him to take people shopping.

It is best for two groups to have dinner together and go shopping together.

"You guys take a seat, I'll walk around."

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Xu Qingyun stood up and walked inside with Leng Wenxuan.

He had sent Zheng Jiming away just now because Zheng Jiming had met Lao Liang.

He wanted to check and confirm whether Lao Liang was passing by here or lived here.

Following the footprints, Xu Qingyun seemed to be taking a walk, and soon he noticed that the footprints led into a house.

Xu Qingyun didn't look any further and continued walking forward.

When he came back, he took another look.

There were fresh footprints of Lao Liang at the door, as well as footprints from the past, and footprints from at least one day. There was no one else except him, which meant that he did live here.

Lao Liang moved and ended up being closer to him.

The original place was too far away, and Xu Qingyun needed to drive to get there.

After the inspection, Xu Qingyun returned to the restaurant. The chef had already prepared the dishes. Just like before, Yan Ming asked the chef to eat first, and only let them sit at the table after making sure everything was fine.

The section chief is catching more and more Japanese spies, and the Japanese hate him to the core, so the section chief's safety must not be taken lightly.

"Chief, I want to toast you."

The main table is in the box. There are only two boxes here. One is for the team leaders and captains of the two groups, and the other one is for the heroes of this trip.

Fang Laibao stood up first. He was Xu Qingyun's direct descendant and a true member of the family.

Only four people in Tianjin followed Xu Qingyun to Nanjing. Zheng Jiming and Zuo Jinfang were both from the police station, and only Yan Ming and Fang Laibao belonged to the Military Intelligence Department.

"Okay, I'll drink."

Xu Qingyun raised his glass, but this time he didn't finish it in one gulp. There were too many people, and if he drank it in one gulp, they would have almost finished it by the time they finished walking around.

He Rongtang followed closely behind, and this time Xu Qingyun drank it all in one gulp.

It seems that he gives more face to He Rongtang, but in fact, He Rongtang is still no match for Fang Laibao. This is the difference between those who are close to you and those who are not.

Although He Rongtang took the initiative to surrender, he is not yet considered Xu Qingyun's confidant.

It was even more lively outside. Dai Jieying was in the box, and another female member of Group 4 was being targeted by the people from Group 2 in turn. They wanted to get her drunk, because there were only these two girls in their intelligence department.

The men in group four instantly became flower protectors. No matter whether the female team members were beautiful or not, their people would not be bullied.

The two groups of people were competing in drinking, and there was a lot of noise.

Lao Liang raised his head and closed the window.

He lives too close to the restaurant and it's very noisy every night.

But today it was obviously noisier.

There was no other way. Lao Liang needed to hide his identity and could not leave Nanjing, so he found this place on purpose. Now he no longer works in the pharmacy, and his current job has nothing to do with his previous one. He also deliberately made himself tanned and thin to avoid being recognized by people who knew him before.

"Section Chief, there's something wrong with the Party Affairs Investigation Department again."

At the dinner table, Yan Ming suddenly said, and everyone else looked at him.

"How did you know?"

Xu Qingyun didn't ask what happened. The Intelligence Department had spies in the Party Affairs Investigation Office, and he and Fang Laibao were in charge of one of them, and they were senior spies.

However, spies would not mention trivial matters. Since Tong Changming did not report it, it means that the matter is not too big.

"They made a lot of noise, and a lot of people knew about it. The police told me."

Yan Ming told the story, and the Party Affairs Investigation Department tried to arrest the Red Party, but the result shocked everyone. One person from the Party Affairs Investigation Department died and two were injured, and in the end they failed to capture the Red Party alive.

But the man didn't escape; he was beaten to death on the spot.

"Don't ask too much about their affairs."

After Yan Ming finished speaking, Xu Qingyun replied calmly, and Yan Ming nodded immediately: "I didn't ask, it's just that their work of catching people is too rough. If it were us, we would never scare anyone and guarantee to capture them alive."

Yan Ming looked down on the people in the Party Affairs Investigation Office, not only him, but everyone else as well.

The two intelligence agencies are natural enemies and dislike each other.

After the celebration banquet, Xu Qingyun returned home.

What Yan Ming said caught his attention.

Did the comrade who was beaten to death belong to the Nanjing organization? Was the organization aware of his sacrifice?
He just discovered Lao Liang’s new residence today and received this news. Xu Qingyun was a little suspicious, wondering if there was some arrangement in the dark.

Should he remind him?
But will doing so bring new troubles to Lao Liang?

He now only knew three of his comrades, and only two of them knew the location, Dr. Huang from the dental clinic, and Lao Liang.

The clinic is not a place for sending messages.

According to Yan Ming, many people knew about what happened today. Xu Qingyun was not worried about being suspected when passing on the information. Besides, he was not the only one who knew about it today.

The whole table knew.

Since Yan Ming was able to learn about this matter through the police, there must have been many people who knew about it by then.

The organization is likely already aware of this.

Xu Qingyun did not move. Now that the person was dead, the direction of the investigation would be temporarily cut off. Since a gunfight had occurred, Xu Qingyun believed that the organization would conduct an investigation.

After several years of training, the organization has grown greatly. Although the previous few things were not perfect, it can be seen that they were very careful.

For example, the real kite, Comrade Lu Hanping connected it.

And that meeting in the park.

The organization has always been very careful and has not met directly with the people being contacted.

The next morning, Lao Liang went out early.

Soon he noticed a signal and Xiao Wu made an appointment with him.

At noon, Lao Liang came to a quiet place and Xiao Wu was already waiting for him.

"Minister Liang, our comrade has died."

Xiao Wu had a sad look on his face. Fan Wenmao was indeed their comrade, but he was not on the same page as Lao Liang.

Fan Wenmao works in the logistics department. His main task is to help the organization make more money and maintain its operations.

The organization was too poor. The last time the guerrilla comrades came to seek help, they had a hard time providing them with some supplies, and Fan Wenmao contributed to this.

"Sacrificed?"

Lao Liang was slightly stunned, and a feeling of grief naturally rose in his heart.

No matter who they are, as long as they are their comrades, they hope they can live well.

He and Fan Wenmao had never met each other, and didn't even know each other, but he felt as heartbroken as when he saw Lu Hanping sacrifice himself in front of him.

"This comrade has come into contact with many people. Secretary Huang's intention is to let them leave temporarily and wait and see the situation later."

Xiao Wu told Fan Wenmao about the mission. Fan Wenmao had to contact many people. Fortunately, he was very smart. He noticed something was wrong and immediately cut off contact with everyone.

The spies from the Party Affairs Investigation Office noticed his abnormality and chose to arrest him.

"Are there many people? Will you come back later?"

Lao Liang immediately asked, these were his jobs, there were a lot of people involved, and if they wanted to come back, they would need to be properly resettled.

"There are three comrades. Secretary Huang's intention is to have them stay somewhere else for the time being. Whether they want to come back or not depends on the situation later."

"I understand. I will make arrangements to settle the three comrades as soon as possible."

Lao Liang nodded slowly. He understood what Secretary Huang meant. Secretary Huang did not want to give up on them. It was not easy for every member of the organization.

But it is very likely that they will never be able to return to Nanjing and will need to work somewhere else.

At all times, safety should be put first.
