As soon as Li Zhengxian left, Yuan Ye immediately began to put on makeup. He finished in two or three minutes and saw through the window that Li Zhengxian had walked down to the courtyard of the Military Intelligence Bureau and arrived in front of a jeep.

Yuan Ye quickly ran downstairs. When he arrived, the jeep had just driven out of the gate and headed to the right front of the gate.

Yuan Ye quickly started the car and followed at a distance of 100 meters. With his excellent hearing, even if there were vehicles blocking his view or the jeep turned into another street at the intersection, he could ensure that he would not lose sight of the target. This was something that no one else could do.

Yuan Ye was slightly surprised to find that Li Zhengxian drove the jeep without stopping all the way and returned to the camp after half an hour. He had originally thought that Li Zhengxian might go to meet with his superior.

He believed it wasn't that Li Zhengxian had discovered he was being followed, but rather that it wasn't the right time yet; Li might have his own established method of rendezvous. Yuan Ye recalled Yue Haishan saying that Li Zhengxian often went dancing at the officers' club at night, perhaps that was where he met with his superior.

Yuan Ye decided to stay and wait. The area in front of the camp gate was empty, with two soldiers on guard. Parking there would be too conspicuous and attract attention, so he parked his car in an alley about 70 or 80 meters away.

This way, Li Zhengxian wouldn't be able to find him, but he could hear Li Zhengxian's voice when he went out.

Yuan Ye waited in the car for more than three hours until night fell and the lights of the nearby houses were already on. Only then did he hear Li Zhengxian drive the jeep out of the camp gate.

Yuan Ye followed in his car, and as expected, Li Zhengxian arrived at the officers' club half an hour later.

He parked his car at the entrance and walked towards the gate of the officers' club. There, he ran into another officer, who was also a regular there. The two chatted and laughed as they walked through the gate.

Yuan Ye immediately found an empty space to park his car. There were quite a few cars parked there. The gate of the officers' club was brightly lit, shining brightly in the night. Melodious dance music drifted out from inside, and officers dressed as officers kept going in. Some brought beautiful female companions, while others were alone.

Yuan Ye felt that it was better to wear an officer's uniform on this occasion, so he took off his suit and put on his officer's uniform, which was given to him when he was conferred ranks and awarded medals in Dai Yunong's office.

He wore it only once, and then kept it in his space ever since.

However, he is currently only a major, and his application for the rank of lieutenant colonel is still in progress and should be approved soon.

He immediately went into the officers' club, which was quite lively. Couples were dancing in the dance floor, while those not dancing were holding wine glasses and chatting happily, creating a scene of peace and prosperity.

This almost gave Yuan Ye the illusion that this was not the wartime capital, but a place where invaders were approaching from a thousand miles away, and soldiers on the front lines were fighting desperately, with dead and wounded everywhere. It was a completely different world compared to this place.

Yuan Ye had a feeling that "the warm breeze makes tourists drunk, and they mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou." He felt that it was not surprising that an internal traitor like Li Zhengxian could emerge in such an environment.

He didn't recognize anyone there, so he went to the bar and ordered a drink. He saw Li Zhengxian sitting at a corner table with a drink in front of him, all alone. He was looking at the dance floor, seemingly waiting for someone.

The music ended quickly, and the dancers left the dance floor. A beautiful woman with a graceful figure exchanged a few words with her dance partner and then came to Li Zhengxian's table. Li Zhengxian, who had been looking serious just moments before, immediately smiled when he saw this woman.

Yuan Ye thought to himself, "It seems this is the woman I've been waiting for." However, judging from her attire and appearance, she was probably a dancer at the officers' club.

The woman smiled and said:

"You're here, let's dance."

"Okay."

Just then, the next dance music started, and Li Zhengxian got up and pulled the woman towards the dance floor.

Couples began dancing again on the dance floor. Li Zhengxian had his arm around a woman, her head resting on his shoulder, their bodies pressed tightly together. The woman whispered in Li Zhengxian's ear:

"Has something happened?"

As she was dancing, she saw Li Zhengxian arrive, sitting alone in a corner, looking somewhat forlorn, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor. It turned out that he always appeared very relaxed whenever he came.

Li Zhengxian sighed and recounted how he had been summoned to the Military Intelligence Bureau that day. This made him somewhat uneasy, as nothing like this had ever happened before.

Do you think they might suspect me?

"From what you just said, this should just be a normal investigation. After all, such a big thing happened, they probably don't have any evidence, otherwise they wouldn't have let you go."

The woman offered words of comfort.

She thought for a moment, then asked:

"After you left, did you notice anyone following you?"

"I haven't found anything. I've been keeping a close eye on things, but I haven't noticed anything suspicious."

Because of his worries, Li Zhengxian had been keeping an eye on whether any cars were following him ever since he left the Military Intelligence Bureau. Even after arriving at the officers' club, he did not relax and looked around, but he did not find anyone watching him.

"Don't be nervous. There are many people who know the truth, and many more who are more suspicious than you. They can't investigate everyone, so how could they possibly investigate you?"

Hearing Li Zhengxian's words, the woman became even more convinced that her judgment was correct and that Li Zhengxian was simply overthinking things.

Besides, how could someone in this line of work not face risks? I need him to continue lying low and provide more intelligence.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. It's good that nothing's wrong."

Li Zhengxian felt a little relieved.

"Is there anything else? Any new information?"

the woman asked.

"Yes, after yesterday's bombing, I attended an air defense meeting this morning, and the troop deployment was adjusted again. I drew the deployment diagram on paper, and I will give it to you after I finish this dance and return to my seat."

The two spoke very softly, in whispers in each other's ears. With the music playing and the surrounding noise, it would have been impossible for anyone else to hear them clearly. However, Yuan Ye heard them perfectly. Through their conversation, he confirmed that the woman was Li Zhengxian's superior.

What's infuriating is that Li Zhengxian provided the Japanese with the latest intelligence, but he was already on the verge of death.

This also provided Yuan Ye with an opportunity. This woman would surely pass on this information to his superior soon. Now, as long as he monitored this woman, he would have a chance to find her superior.

It is still unknown how many people were in this Japanese spy group, or which department of the Japanese army sent them, but Yuan Ye guessed that it should be related to the military.
