Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

After preliminarily solving the current problem at hand, Ma Liang finally got around to agreeing to meet with the genuine central special envoy.

Early this morning, in the hotel bathroom, Li Yinhe checked her appearance in the mirror to make sure she was in the best condition.

Because he had been waiting in Shanghai for almost a month, constantly contacting him using that mysterious phone number.

Finally, three days ago, the mysterious but deadly special envoy finally agreed to meet with him today.

After tidying up her appearance, Li Yinhe checked again to see if the small pill sewn in the corner of her collar was still there.

When he came to Shanghai from the northwest, he was alone most of the time, except for the time when he passed through an important blockade line of the Japanese army, when he was covered by a regiment of troops. Apart from the pills sewn on the corner of his collar, he didn't even have a pistol for self-defense.

As an experienced underground worker, he always believed that the best weapon in enemy-occupied areas was his own disguise.

On the contrary, carrying a small pistol will not only fail to protect yourself, but will easily expose your identity.

Finally, after circling around a few times and making sure that no one was following him, Li Yinhe, dressed in a suit and tie and looking like a businessman, successfully entered the Sassoon Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in the French Concession in Shanghai, and took the elevator to the top floor terrace.

The rooftop terrace of the Sassoon Hotel was reserved for three consecutive days by Shanghai's most luxurious BAT companies, and a two-day party was held there with fine wine, delicious food, and countless beauties.

Now the top floor of the Sassoon Hotel was empty, with only a young man wearing huge sunglasses and dressed very formally sitting at a dining table with two crystal wine glasses and a bottle of whiskey in front of him, as if he was waiting for someone.

"It's him?"

"It's him!"

The two looked at each other and confirmed that the other was the person they were waiting for, and they were both surprised.

The difference is that Li Yinhe had never seen Ma Liang before, but Ma Liang recognized the person.

Later, it was posted on the founders’ wall inside the Intelligence Department, at the very front, which was enough to show how much importance the other party attached to it.

"Manager Wu, my surname is Tang, long time no see!" Li Yinhe said frankly, put down her hat and sat in front of Ma Liang.

"The last name Tang? The Tang in Li Tang?" Ma Liang raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

Li Yinhe's originally calm and composed face froze immediately, and her heart felt like thunder.

As a senior intelligence officer, he didn't believe that Ma Liang was just speaking casually.

"What do you want to do? Or we want to know what you want to do?"

When Li Yinhe saw that Ma Liang had pointed out his identity, he stopped pretending and asked directly.

Ma Liang was not surprised that the Northwest would send people, as the Northwest has always been the weaker party.

But in terms of intelligence, it is quite strong.

Several life-and-death crises were escaped with the help of timely intelligence support. The people pointed out by Ma Liang were not the ones who could be replaced or evacuated at any time for the Northwest.

The operation of an intelligence line often takes years, and the energy and resources invested are unimaginable, so it cannot be easily abandoned.

Even when Ma Liang himself trained agents, he could only train a group of action agents who could produce results in a short period of time, instead of thinking about training intelligence agents who had a long payback cycle.

One can imagine how important these top-secret intelligence lines are. No one can sleep peacefully without getting a clear statement from Ma Liang.

"I know what you want to ask, but today I can only selectively answer three questions for you. Think about it before asking." Ma Liang gave Li Yinhe the opportunity to ask three questions.

Hearing that she could only ask three questions, Li Yinhe immediately fell into thought. After pondering for a long time, she carefully asked the first question:

"You call yourself a special commissioner of the Central Committee. Are you a member of the underground party?"

Ma Liang answered proudly without any hesitation:

"Of course, I am a member of the Celestial Empire Underground Party!"

Hearing Ma Liang's answer, Li Yinhe looked at Ma Liang strangely. The underground party is the underground party, why did the other party emphasize that it was the underground party of the Celestial Empire?

However, he did not continue to think about this question at this time. After hearing Ma Liang admit that he was a member of the Tianchao underground party, Li Yinhe immediately said to Ma Liang in a serious tone:

"Since you are an underground party member and one of ours, you know our organizational principles. Can you obey our leadership?"

Ma Liang shook his head decisively and said something that Li Yinhe could not understand.

"We are both, but I am version 5.0 and you are version 2.0. I can be backward compatible with you, but you cannot be backward compatible with me."

"Okay, you have one last question."

Li Yinhe frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't understand what Ma Liang meant, so she asked the last question.

"Where are you from?"

Hearing this question, Ma Liang was silent for a moment, and finally said in a reminiscent tone:

"I also want to know my origins. I have been in an orphanage since I can remember. Like other children who grew up in orphanages, it was the Party and the country that raised me and allowed me to grow up happily like ordinary people. My original name was Dang, like other children who grew up in orphanages. Later, I was admitted to university. The headmistress said that I was different from other brothers and sisters who were destined to stay in the orphanage. She hoped that I would have my own life and not be discriminated against because of this surname. She took me to change my surname and gave me her surname."

"Later, I responded to the call to join the army and serve my country. I was the best of all the recruits, the first to join the party, and the first to be admitted to the military academy. Later, later, for the sake of national interests, I gave up all the best parts of my humanity and became a monster destined to go to hell."

“My dream when I was a child was to be a teacher and take care of those brothers and sisters who were destined to be unadopted and had to spend their whole lives in welfare homes. They may be strange in your eyes, but when they sweetly called me “brother”, that was the happiest moment for me…”

Ma Liang was lost in deep memories at this moment, with a happy smile on his face.

"You can return to the organization. The organization always welcomes wanderers..." Listening to Ma Liang opening his heart, Li Yinhe tried to win Ma Liang back.

Although he didn't quite understand some of the nouns in Ma Liang's words, the sincere emotions in his words could not deceive anyone.

It was a rare opportunity to have someone absolutely reliable to confide in, so Ma Liang opened up his heart, which was as hard as steel, and revealed his soft side.

But it was only for a moment, and he immediately transformed from an ordinary person Ma Liang who was lost in his memories into the cold-blooded and ruthless agent Ma Liang.

"Okay, your three questions are over, you can go!"

Li Yinhe is also a decisive person. He stood up immediately because he knew what he wanted to know most.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Li Yinhe was about to leave, Ma Liang stopped her, handed her a hand-drawn map, and said solemnly:

"I forgot to mention, this is my party dues!"

The secret archives of this day and this time and space summarized it with three historical questions.
