Chen Han Wen left with Lin Tao, and under the watchful eyes of all the Central Unification members, they smoothly departed from the Central Unification headquarters.
Lin Tao was driving, Chen Han Wen sat in the passenger seat, and as soon as they got in the car, Lin Tao straddled him, her hands slapping his body: "You scoundrel, it's been how many days, you finally came to find me?"
Chen Han Wen looked at Lin Tao, spread out his hands helplessly: "What could I do? The old man put me under house arrest, even Dai Li couldn't let me out."
"Then you went to flirt with Ai Mei Zhen as soon as you got out?"
Lin Tao looked at Chen Han Wen, stretched out her hands to cover his eyes, and extended her thumb and index finger to pry open his eyes: "Did your eyes go bad? Did your vision deteriorate after a few days of confinement?"
"Don't play with fire, I finally have the mood to go shopping with you today, if you play with fire again, it won't be just shopping anymore."
He patted Lin Tao on the body and said:
"Get down quickly, this is the headquarters of your Central Unification, it's not a good influence on me to be messing around here."
"You still know it's a bad influence? Tian Hu is Captain Gao's beloved disciple, you slapped him half his face, Captain Gao probably hates you to death."
Although she said so, Lin Tao still obediently got off Chen Han Wen, and drove the Steampunk brand car out.
At dinner time, Lin Tao, intentionally or unintentionally, drove to the Rose Restaurant on Yunfeng Road.
Hua She Western Restaurant is suitable for business talks, while Rose Restaurant is more suitable for dates, and this is also where Zheng Yao Xian and Cheng Zhen Er had their dates. Chen Han Wen knew Lin Tao's girlish mentality, so he didn't take it seriously.
As for Ai Mei Zhen, a blind dog would fall for her.
As they were eating, a conversation from nearby caught Chen Han Wen's ear.
"What's with the gunshots over at Zeng Jia Yan today? I heard someone died."
"There was a traitor in the Military Unification who defected to the Japanese puppet regime, it's said he had a pretty high position in the Military Unification, and he also has a very loud nickname, but I don't know what it is."
"How could someone from the Military Unification run to Zeng Jia Yan?"
"I heard it was to capture the Communist Party…"
The mumbling voices were faint, if Chen Han Wen didn't have extraordinary hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear what they were talking about.
Something's happened?
The first thing that came to Chen Han Wen's mind was Lü Zong Fang and Yu Ze Cheng going to eavesdrop on the pro-Communist scholars' meeting, and then encountering Li Hai Feng's defection...If you calculate the timeline, the most likely ones to have encountered trouble were them.
If he's not mistaken, Dai Li already knows that Lü Zong Fang is a hidden CCP spy in the Military Unification. He deliberately sent him to Nanjing to carry out a mission, and then sent Ma Kui to assassinate him.
Thinking of Ma Kui, Chen Han Wen couldn't help but chuckle.
He had seen Ma Kui in the Military Unification, he had a hapless look on his face, he was desperate to climb the ladder, but because of his excessive ambition, he was disliked by others.
The clumsy Ma Kui!
Although Ma Kui was later crushed by Yu Ze Cheng, he did kill Lü Zong Fang.
Lü Zong Fang is an honest comrade, he is capable, low-key, and not ambitious. In the future when the CCP builds a new China, such talent is indispensable.
How to rescue Lü Zong Fang?
To keep Lü Zong Fang alive, and to make Yu Ze Cheng your comrade, to continue lurking in the Military Unification, there is only one way: to get rid of Li Hai Feng first.
Chen Han Wen knew that Li Hai Feng is a very family-oriented person. If he lived in a later era, he would be a very good husband, but not now, the country is still in a precarious state, everyone needs to act for the greater good.
There can be no home without a country.
Traitors must die, spies must be eliminated!
Chen Han Wen had already made up his mind - to kill Li Hai Feng!
Who to send?
Gu Shen Yan won't do, he's an old face in the Military Unification, and he's in Shancheng, if he goes out he's likely to be discovered by those with ulterior motives.
Liu Xin Jie is in Nanjing, he's capable, has a high level of combat skills, and his marksmanship is exceptional, he's a safe choice.
While Chen Han Wen was thinking about whether to use Liu Xin Jie to deal with Li Hai Feng, Lin Tao suddenly reached out and put her hand on his leg: "What are you thinking about? You were smiling one moment and serious the next, is there something wrong? If you have something to do, go ahead, I'll go home later."
She may be playful, but Lin Tao is very understanding, at least she wouldn't nag Chen Han Wen when he has something to do.
"What could be wrong? Being with you is the most important thing."
Chen Han Wen raised his wine glass and clinked it with Lin Tao: "We haven't seen each other for days, I was just thinking about what position I should use to listen to your work report tonight."
"...You're hopeless."
Lin Tao rolled her eyes, drank the wine, picked up her knife and fork: "Eat! Later you have to give me a full report on what's going on with Ai Mei Zhen."
Is she going to be tough on him?
After dinner, the two held hands and walked home together.
…
Li Hai Feng's sudden defection caused chaos throughout the Military Unification. It wasn't until around 3 a.m. that Lü Zong Fang left Dai Li's door.
It was already very late, Lü Zong Fang didn't go home, but instead rested on the cot in his office.
Recalling the events that had transpired today, Lü Zong Fang felt a headache, but also felt fortunate.
Li Hai Feng's sudden defection prevented Dai Li from continuing to investigate the escape of the pro-Communist intellectuals under his nose, which was good, Lü Zong Fang was genuinely happy about it.
But there were also bad things, like Yu Ze Cheng.
When Lü Zong Fang served as the tactical instructor of the Qingpu Class, he immediately took a liking to Yu Ze Cheng, who had come to enroll, and wanted to train him to be a CCP underground worker. At the time, Lü Zong Fang bullied Yu Ze Cheng for being a newbie who didn't know anything. He tricked him and fabricated a married identity for him, which would give Yu Ze Cheng a way out, and also protect his identity. This was also to take advantage of the opportunity to catch Yu Ze Cheng's weakness.
After graduating from the Qingpu Class, Yu Ze Cheng worked diligently as a nobody in the Military Unification headquarters, his work wasn't particularly outstanding, but it wasn't faulty either. However, Lü Zong Fang knew very well that Yu Ze Cheng was hiding his talents, he had been honing his skills all these years, but never showed them in front of others.
Otherwise, how to explain the missing section of the recording when monitoring the pro-Communist scholars' meeting?
At the time, Yu Ze Cheng was carrying out the monitoring task, and he was the only one who had the time and opportunity to alter the recording.
All signs pointed to the fact that Yu Ze Cheng was very suitable for development into the CCP.
Now… this was an opportunity!
Li Hai Feng was a specialist in the Military Unification's telecommunications department, his defection would inevitably enrage Dai Li. Li Hai Feng had control over too many secrets of the Military Unification, Dai Li would definitely choose to eliminate him.
If he's not mistaken, the assassination task would fall to Lü Zong Fang.
Of course, if it came to carrying out an assassination task, Chen Han Wen would be Dai Li's first choice. But Li Hai Feng was an old man in the Military Unification, and to assassinate him they needed to find a new face. Chen Han Wen was too conspicuous.
Moreover, Chen Han Wen was a wild card. If he went to Nanjing, who knows what trouble he would stir up? Furthermore, Chen Han Wen had just been released by Chiang Kai-shek, how could Dai Li dare let him go out on a mission?
Yu Ze Cheng, the nobody in the Military Unification, could very well be involved in the operation.
This was the perfect opportunity to win over Yu Ze Cheng.
Just as Lü Zong Fang was thinking about how to develop Yu Ze Cheng into his comrade, there was a knock on the door. Then, an envelope appeared under the crack of the door, Lü Zong Fang was startled!
He immediately got up and walked towards the door. He opened the door to his office, but found the corridor empty.
He closed the door and picked up the letter from the floor. He opened it and it read:
You are exposed, act according to Dai Li's orders.
There was no name on the signature, only a skull!
This skull... Lü Zong Fang's eyes widened... Did he appear again?
The mysterious person who told him to develop Yu Ze Cheng into a CCP member eight years ago, had sent a message again.
Lü Zong Fang hurriedly leaned out of the window, trying to see who had walked out of the Military Unification's door. But besides the streetlights and the guards under the streetlights, he saw no one else.
