Chapter 241 Dawn?

Based on the basic situation, Wang Yiya realized that she had been overlooking a fatal detail.

Among the group that accompanied Ding Moqun to Nanjing, only a few knew that the arrested Nanjing underground party members were not in the convoy.

Wang Yiya, Wang Ningyu, Ma Shangcheng, Li Mingde, Sun Ligang, Daqing, and Er Mazi.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Ningyu and Ma Shangcheng to be together.

Previously, Wang Yiya had overlooked this fatal detail.

Once Ding Moqun ruled out these two people from the beginning, it was obvious that he himself was the prime suspect.

Given Ding Moqun and Ying Zuo's methods, the only reason Wang Yiya hasn't taken action against her yet is that they are wary of her father's influence in the Shanghai business world.

The Wang and Song families hold significant positions in Shanghai's business world. Without absolute evidence, it's unlikely that Ding Moqun and Ying Zuo would take action against him.

Thinking of this, Wang Yiya smiled bitterly, feeling utterly hopeless.

Wang Yiya had originally thought that she might be able to use her allergies to create a serious allergic reaction and thus come into contact with the people in the infirmary.

If we can get in touch with Yang Huamei, then we might be able to pass on the intelligence through her.

But now, Wang Yiya knows that this is no longer possible.

Using this method would only expose Piaoxue to Ding Moqun as well.

A dead end, a dead end with absolutely no hope!

In Director's Office No. 76, Ding Moqun received a phone call from Nanjing.

"Mr. Kagesa, please rest assured. Although the plan has encountered some setbacks, the fundamental objective has been achieved. Yes, this time we guarantee that everything will go smoothly."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Moqun looked at Zhang Sanjin, who was standing guard to the side.

Seeing this, Zhang Sanjin grinned and said:
"Director, all the telephones in the backyard apartment have been cut off, so there is no possibility of contacting the outside world."

Ding Moqun nodded slightly:
"Where's the knife?"

"Preparations for interrogation are underway."

In the office of the head of the telecommunications department, Dao Yan looked at the notes she had personally taken and had a different plan in mind.

Dao Yan is certain that Bai Cha is inside No. 76, and Ding Moqun has no reason to fabricate lies at this time.

Dao Yan was feeling both excited and extremely cautious and worried.

This is a good opportunity for her to make contact with the underground party. If she can confirm Bai Cha's identity first, she may be able to make direct contact with the underground party through Bai Cha, and then the rescue of Zhu Zhili can be put on the agenda.

In these transcripts, Dao Yan first ruled out Ma Shangcheng and Wang Ningyu.

After eliminating those two, among the remaining five people—Wang Yiya, Li Mingde, Sun Ligang, Er Mazi, and Daqing—it seems that Wang Yiya is the most likely to be a member of the underground Communist Party.

However, Wang Yiya's identity is special, and without solid evidence, neither Ding Moqun nor Yingzuo would really touch her.

Thinking of this, Dao Yan's forehead broke out in a thick sweat.

Because if I can think of it, Ding Moqun can definitely think of it too.

But why go to such lengths to do this? First, gather all these people together and keep them under house arrest in the backyard apartment, and then conduct separate interrogations.

The simplest approach would be to provide Wang Yiya with a sufficiently "safe" environment so that she would voluntarily expose herself, wouldn't it?

Unless Ding Moqun doesn't want Wang Yiya to pass on the information she knows so quickly.

Dao Yan knew that it was impossible for him to gain Wang Yiya's trust in a short period of time. Even if he wanted to help Wang Yiya send out the information and do her a favor to prepare for Zhu Zhili's matter later, it would be extremely difficult.

Furthermore, Ding Moqun must be keeping a close eye on Wang Yiya. Anyone who comes into contact with Wang Yiya will likely be considered a suspect by Ding Moqun.

At this moment, Dao Yan felt a sense of powerlessness. She knew who Bai Cha was, but she couldn't take the next step.

Meanwhile, inside apartment number 27 on Jessfield Road, Dao Ya was nestled close to Zhao Xuan, while Zhao Xuan was observing the situation in Wang Yiya's room in the backyard apartment at number 76 through nanobugs.

Watching Wang Yiya's emotional changes, Zhao Xuan became somewhat irritated. Unable to use the nano-flying insects to achieve dialysis mode and understand Wang Yiya's psychology, he could only watch helplessly.

Just as Zhao Xuan was considering whether to risk calling Wang Yiya, the nanobugs perfectly picked up Wang Yiya's voice, even though it was soft.

Upon hearing that the phone line in the apartment had been cut, Zhao Xuan finally smiled.

"Brother-in-law, do you have a solution?"

Zhao Xuan nodded:
"Why don't you just have Edith make a call and ask?"

Dao Ya reacted instantly:

"So, my brother-in-law already knew who was still a member of the underground Communist Party within the 76th Division, didn't he?"

Zhao Xuan raised his hand and patted Dao Ya's forehead. This girl was so clever that Zhao Xuan couldn't do anything about it.

As instructed by Zhao Xuan, Edith called Wang Yiya's room.

The step of cutting off the telephone line was probably Ding Moqun's way of preventing Wang Yiya from taking a desperate gamble and risking exposing her identity to transmit important intelligence.

Zhao Xuan guessed that this important intelligence was about the mole.

Otherwise, Wang Yiya's emotions wouldn't have changed so quickly in the room, and her desperate expression made Zhao Xuan realize that Wang Yiya might have already been exposed.

However, Zhao Xuan still needed to contact Wang Yiya first to confirm his suspicions before he could figure out a way to protect Wang Yiya while uncovering the mole.

In the backyard apartment of No. 76, on the third floor, in Wang Yiya's room.

The moment the phone rang, Wang Yiya was startled.

Didn't they say the phone lines in the apartment building were all cut? How could there still be incoming calls?
Wang Yiya was certain there were no listening devices in the room, so Ding Moqun had no reason to test her with a phone call, right?
Moreover, Wang Yiya suspected that she had already been exposed, so the idea of ​​testing her was even more absurd.

With a sense of doubt, Wang Yiya stared at the ringing phone for more than ten seconds before finally reaching out to answer it.

(Comrade White Tea, this is Chenguang!)
Wang Yiya's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the phone.

"Chenguang?" After asking the question subconsciously, Wang Yiya's lips curled up slightly. Her first reaction was that Ding Moqun was testing her again, or trying to get some information out of her.

But then she realized that she didn't have many options left. Regardless of whether the person was Chen Guang or not, she had to seize the opportunity.

Just to be on the safe side, Wang Yiya asked:
"How can you prove you are Chenguang? Besides, all the phone lines in the apartment have been cut. How did you get in?"

(It's been cut off, but it can be reconnected. Time is short. To put your mind at ease, let me tell you something else as proof. Afterward, you must tell me everything you know. This is the key to saving you and the guerrillas.)
Wang Yiya calmed herself down and prepared to listen to how the other party was going to try to fool her.

The telephone line was cut, and Ding Moqun's men were definitely watching the cut spot. The idea of ​​reconnecting it is absurd.

Even though Wang Yiya found what the other person said next absurd, she had no choice but to believe it.

(The head of the underground Communist Party in Shanghai is Sun Jianzhong, and the liaison station is located in Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road. In addition, inside No. 76, besides you, Bai Cha, there is also Piao Xue in the infirmary. Do I need to continue?)
After hearing this, Wang Yiya realized that her palms were already sweating, and beads of sweat were seeping from her forehead.

These words made Wang Yiya feel as if she were listening to a horror story.

If this guy is really someone Ding Moqun used to test him, then there's no need to test him anymore.

Sun Jianzhong and Yang Huamei have both revealed this. If Ding Moqun also knows these things, then Bai Cha will have no value to him.

If Sun Jianzhong were to be arrested, it would be a devastating blow to the underground Communist Party in Shanghai.

"I hope you really are the morning light."

After a moment of silence, Wang Yiya said these words with a wry smile.

Now Wang Yiya has no choice but to take a gamble, since she had no way out once the other party revealed Sun Jianzhong and his hiding place.

"Comrade Chenguang, I am Baicha."

"The only person I had contact with from the Nanjing underground party was a comrade codenamed Mountain Wind. However, I suspect he has already betrayed us, because in Nanjing, the only person who knew my codename was Mountain Wind."

"However, I don't know who Shanfeng is. Comrade Chenguang, Comrade Chitu, and the guerrillas, please help me!"

In the living room of apartment number 27, Dao Ya stared wide-eyed at Zhao Xuan in disbelief.

She truly never expected that her brother-in-law was not only a rising star in the Military Intelligence Bureau, but also Chen Guang, a member of the underground Communist Party!

Since the Sheshan Incident, Chen Guang, a member of the underground Communist Party, and You Hu, a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, have essentially become legends in the intelligence community.

And these two legendary figures are actually the same person, who is also my Xiaoya's brother-in-law!
Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan with sparkling eyes. She realized that the more she got to know her brother-in-law, the more admirable and respectable he became. He was a truly precious and talented young man.

My sister is a real gem!
Zhao Xuan smiled and glanced at the stunned Dao Ya, then replied to Wang Yiya:
"Comrade Bai Cha, from now on, you do nothing. Just wait quietly and accept the interrogation as usual. Leave the rest to me."

After saying this, Zhao Xuan had Edith hang up the phone. Only then did Dao Ya exclaim in surprise, leaping onto Zhao Xuan and excitedly whispering:

"Brother-in-law, you're actually Chen Guang from the underground party! You're actually Chen Guang! Brother-in-law, will you take me into the underground party? I want to be a member of the underground party too!"

Zhao Xuan pushed Dao Ya away with disgust, pressing his palm against her forehead to prevent her from getting any closer to him.
"There's no rush. You're still Tiger Girl now. Even if the Japanese are defeated, China won't truly enter a peaceful era after their defeat. So, you need the identity of Tiger Girl, understand?"

Dao Ya sat up straight and nodded repeatedly, raising her hand to salute Zhao Xuan:

"Yes, sir! No, Comrade Chenguang!"

After a moment of seriousness, Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan with a grin again:

"Brother-in-law, what do we do next?"

"Of course, we should call the head of the underground party in Shanghai and tell him the information that Bai Cha provided."

(Edith, I remember we have a file on the mountain wind.)
(Yes, sir, it was already scanned and archived while in Nanjing.)
(Mountain Wind, real name Xie Biran.)

Thank you, it was actually this guy!

While in Nanjing, Zhao Xuan had already learned about Xie Biran through the perspective of nano-flying insects.

Chen Hanqing had no opportunity to contact Suzuki Haruko, but Xie must have not only had contact with Suzuki Haruko, but also secretly loved her.

But after that operation, shouldn't Xie have already withdrawn from Nanjing and returned to his base?

How did he end up in Nanjing again?
A few minutes later, in a secret room in the back room of Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road in Shanghai.

Sun Jianzhong became excited after receiving Zhao Xuan's call and hearing the information Zhao Xuan conveyed.

The orders from the organization and Bai Cha's current predicament left Sun Jianzhong overwhelmed and feeling helpless.

Now, with just one phone call from Chenguang, his worries have been largely resolved, and the mole, Shanfeng, has also been exposed.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Comrade Chenguang. If we ever reach the base area, I'll treat you to a drink!"

(Let's talk about that later. There's another important matter right now, which concerns Comrade Bai Cha. If we want Ding Moqun to dispel his suspicions about Bai Cha, there's only one way right now: to convince Ding Moqun that Bai Cha isn't among the people he suspects.)
Sun Jianzhong quickly responded:
"Comrade Chenguang, just tell me your plans, and I'll definitely cooperate."

In the Red Party base area, Xia Gong, who had been waiting in the small house, heard a response from the radio and immediately grabbed his headphones and pen to start recording the telegram.

A smile appeared on Xia Gong's face as he copied the first sentence of the telegram, because it was sent by Zhao Xuan.

A few minutes later, Xia Gong looked at the translated telegram and immediately replied to Zhao Xuan: Shan Feng was indeed Xie Biran. Xie Biran should have withdrawn to the base, but because the underground party comrades outside Nanjing needed a person in charge, it was decided after research to send Xie Biran, who was familiar with the work of the Nanjing underground party, back to take over the outer underground intelligence network.

After sending the telegram, Xia Gong sighed.

Xie Biran was also a veteran member of the Communist Party, and he really didn't expect that Xie Biran would betray the organization.

Moreover, based on the information provided by Zhao Xuan, Xie was very likely to have betrayed them because of Suzuki Haruko.

Xie would inevitably abandon his faith for the sake of a Japanese woman, which deeply saddened Xia Gong.

After receiving Xia Gong's reply, Zhao Xuan immediately began preparations.

The situation is clear: rescuing Wang Yiya shouldn't be too difficult. The most important thing now is how to use Wang Yiya to involve Zhu Zhili as well, and get her to join the underground party.

Dao Yan was interrogating the people confined to the backyard apartment of No. 76 as Ding Moqun's assistant, and she couldn't possibly give up such an opportunity.

Based on Zhao Xuan's understanding of Dao Yan, he knew she would definitely contact Wang Yiya, and Zhao Xuan also believed that Dao Yan had now basically confirmed that Wang Yiya was Bai Cha.
