After the song ended, Li Zhengxian and the woman returned to their seats. They then danced a few more dances before Li Zhengxian left the officers' club. Yuan Ye ignored him and stayed behind to continue monitoring the woman.

Yuan Ye stayed for another hour, during which he danced twice. By then, there were fewer and fewer people. The woman didn't dance much after that; she spent most of her time chatting with the other dancers and acted quite normally.

While dancing with the dancers, Yuan Ye learned that they did not live in the officers' club, but had their own residence. Yuan Ye did not ask the dancers the woman's name or inquire about her situation, fearing that the woman would become suspicious if she found out.

He must now be extremely careful with every step he takes, and he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The dance was scheduled to end at 11 p.m. Yuan Ye left the officers' club about ten minutes before it was supposed to end, returned to his car, took off his military uniform, redrew his clothes, and waited in the car for the woman to come out.

Not long after, the woman came out with her bag. There were several rickshaws waiting to pick up passengers at the gate. One of the rickshaw drivers saw the woman come out and immediately went to greet her. The other rickshaw drivers did not compete with him, and it seemed that the woman was a regular customer of his.

He kindly helped the woman into the rickshaw, then pulled her along as they slowly ran towards the main street to the right.

Yuan Ye started his car and followed, maintaining a distance of about 80 or 90 meters. He soon heard the woman say to the rickshaw driver:

"I have some intelligence; you'll need to send it out in a bit."

After saying that, he took something out of his bag and handed it to the rickshaw driver. Yuan Ye guessed that it must be the note with information written on it.

"it is good."

The rickshaw driver took it and stuffed it into his arms, then sped up and ran.

It was already past 11 p.m., and there were hardly any pedestrians or vehicles on the street. Yuan Ye felt that if he continued to follow them in his car, they would definitely notice him after a while.

He simply parked the car on the side of the road, then got out and jogged to follow them. He was skilled in martial arts, so his steps were light and almost silent. He maintained a distance of about 80 or 90 meters, stayed close to the shops along the street, and with the cover of night, he believed that the Japanese spies would not be able to spot him.

More than ten minutes later, the rickshaw in front stopped at the entrance of an alley, and Yuan Ye slipped into a corner on the side of the street.

He heard the woman get out of the car and go into the alley; it seemed that the woman lived in this alley.

The rickshaw continued running forward, with Yuan Ye following behind. After another ten minutes or so, the rickshaw stopped at the side of the street. The driver walked to the door of a shop, knocked twice, paused, then knocked three more times. He then slipped a note through the crack in the door, and after doing all this, he pulled the rickshaw away.

Yuan Ye didn't follow him, but slowly walked towards the shop. He heard the lights being turned on inside, and someone picked up a piece of paper from the ground and went up the stairs to the second floor. There was another person in the room upstairs.

All that could be heard was this person saying to the people inside the room:

"This intelligence is very important. Send it out immediately. According to the weather team's observation report, the day after tomorrow will be a sunny day, a good opportunity to bomb the mountain city. This intelligence will help ensure the safety of Imperial aircraft."

"Okay, I'll send it out now."

Yuan Ye heard that it was a woman's voice. He thought to himself that this woman must be a radio operator, and the person who issued the order must be the head of the Japanese spy group, and he also had a meteorological observation team under his command.

After the woman finished speaking, she walked to the wall, opened a hidden door, and went inside. Soon after, the sound of a telegraph being sent could be heard.

Yuan Ye slowly passed by the shop. In the dim light, he saw that the shop sign read "Xinxin Clothing Store". He guessed that the two spies were probably posing as a couple, using the clothing store as a cover to infiltrate the area.

Yuan Ye returned to his car. He didn't plan to make the arrests now; it wasn't a good opportunity. If he rashly broke in, he would likely find two corpses, and then he wouldn't be able to find out the whereabouts of the weather team.

He needed prisoners to capture the entire Japanese spy group. His plan was to arrest them when they opened for business the next day, taking them by surprise. To ensure success, he would personally lead the team to capture the leader of the Japanese spy group.

Two other arrest operations will also be carried out tomorrow. One is to arrest Li Zhengxian by calling him to the station under the pretext of needing to understand the situation, and then making a secret arrest.

They went to the officers' club at night to arrest the dancer and the rickshaw driver at the entrance.

With a confident mind, Yuan Ye returned to the bureau, slept well, and went to his office early the next morning. He waited for Chu Yuntian to arrive and then immediately went to see him.

As soon as Chu Yuntian saw him, he asked with concern:

"After I brought Li Zhengxian to your office yesterday, I haven't seen you since. You didn't come back until last night. Where did you go?"

He desperately wanted to know how Yuan Ye and Li Zhengxian's conversation had gone, and whether they had made any discoveries. Was his subsequent disappearance related to Li Zhengxian? He knew that Yuan Ye would never disappear without a reason.

As expected, Yuan Ye said:

"I went to follow Li Zhengxian, but because of the time constraints, I didn't have time to report back to you."

With his beaming smile, Chu Yuntian guessed that there must be some progress. He asked expectantly:

"Did you find something?"

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

"I suspect this guy. I'm pretty sure he's the mole."

Chu Yuntian became excited. He knew Yuan Ye well; the kid was very steady. If he said that, there must be some basis for it, and it couldn't be just empty talk.
