Traveling through the Republic of China: Spy Shadow Enters the Game

Seeing Lin Ruotang's grim expression, Xie Wuwei guessed that something big had happened.

"What happened?"

After he asked, he saw the marks on Lin Ruotang's wrist and his face darkened. It seemed that Lin Ruotang was also in a difficult situation in the Jin family.

Lin Ruotang also knew that time was urgent, so she quickly told Xie Wuwei what Luo Yining had said yesterday.

It turned out that he had a fight with Luo Yining. Xie Wuwei knew that Lin Ruotang was definitely no match for Luo Yining, but Lin Ruotang fought back with all his strength, which surprised Xie Wuwei greatly.

He thought that he probably never really understood Lin Ruotang.

After listening to this, Xie Wuwei understood and guessed Luo Yining's identity. He said something in Lin Ruotang's ear.

"Is she from the Military Control Commission?"

Lin Ruotang's pupils dilated and she looked shocked. After seeing Luo Yining's methods, she thought that he was not an ordinary person.

The Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Military Government of the Kuomintang, abbreviated as the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Military Intelligence Bureau, was one of the secret agencies during the Republic of China period.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Military Intelligence Bureau carried out a large number of intelligence, sabotage, and counter-espionage operations against Japan, assassinated traitors, organized anti-Japanese armed forces, and cooperated with the Allies.

However, he also engaged in "anti-Red" actions, such as assassinating important members of the Red Party and sending spies to infiltrate his hometown of Yan'an.

Xie Wuwei immediately analyzed the current situation from Lin Ruotang's few words.

"Luo Yining's meeting you was completely accidental. She wanted to bring you to the Jin family. It seems that she wanted to gain Jin Dayong's trust. She found that you were useful and wanted to make you her subordinate.

Lin Ruotang didn't expect it to be so complicated, and then heard Xie Wuwei continue to say:

"Don't think about these complicated things. You just need to make Luo Yining trust you, so that she can help you hide any identity problems."

Lin Ruotang was thoughtful. It seemed that he just had to stand on the side of Luo Yining.

Then she would keep the fact that she was Jin Dayong's fake niece a secret and dispel everyone's suspicions.

"You are very talented. The more you act like an ordinary person, the more Luo Yining will let down his guard against you."

The two separated, and Lin Ruotang left first in the car. After all, she always had a driver waiting for her when she went out.

Xie Wuwei's words just now gave her a lot of confidence, but it was shattered by Luo Yining as soon as she came back.

Luo Yining was drinking tea in the garden. When she saw Lin Ruotang coming back, she turned around and waved to her.

"I'm back, come and have some tea."

Lin Ruotang thought about it, then walked over and sat next to her, picked up the milk tea and took a sip.

Her favorite milk tea had no taste in her mouth, so she had to cheer herself up to deal with the female agent of the Military Control Commission.

Luo Yining stirred the milk tea. Seeing that Lin Ruotang didn't say anything, she pulled the corners of her mouth with a cold smile on her face.

"Honestly, you're a good kid. I told you my name and address once, and you remembered them. Even your tears are your weapon, and your innocence is just a disguise."

Her expression was serious and her tone became increasingly sharp.

"If it wasn't for last night, I would have almost been fooled by you."

Lin Ruotang was terrified and stopped stirring the milk tea. She couldn't help but wonder where she had revealed her flaw.

Luo Yining changed the subject and looked at Lin Ruotang and said:

"Who do you think I am and what I'm doing?"

Lin Ruotang knew her identity, but didn't dare to say it now.

She could only pick up the teacup and take a sip of milk tea to hide her panic. Seeing Luo Yining staring at her dangerously, she could only say softly:

"do not know!"

"No!"

Luo Yining leaned forward and moved closer to Lin Ruotang.

The strong smell of perfume made Lin Ruotang lean back. Luo Yining pinched Lin Ruotang's chin, and their faces were almost touching.

"you know!"

Luo Yining's eyes were always on Lin Ruotang's expression. Lin Ruotang restrained himself and let Luo Yining guess it.

"How did you know?"

Seeing Luo Yining's dangerous tone, Lin Ruotang's heart was beating like a drum, but he said:

"Don't think you're the only smart person in the world."

Hearing Lin Ruotang say this, Luo Yining suddenly laughed.

"You are indeed quite smart, which is why I am attracted to you."

Seeing her say this, Lin Ruotang asked her:

"What do you want to say?"

"You know what I do, so you're really willing to be a spy and a traitor. You're an educated person, you know what national justice is. We're truly here to eradicate traitors."

She stood up, looking unconcerned, and spoke slowly.

"If you don't want to, go to Lao Jin and expose me. Maybe you can get a bonus."

Lin Ruotang knew that this was a test of herself, and was afraid that if she told Jin Dayong, Jin Dayong would hand her over to Luo Yining.

When Lin Ruotang stood up, Luo Yining just arrived at the door and said to Lin Ruotang with a smile:

"But until you think it through, you can't leave this house."

Lin Ruotang knew that there was only one way to go, which was to become Luo Yining's person. If she agreed immediately, it would seem that her motives were impure.

The next morning, Lin Ruotang sat at the dinner table. Jin Dayong bit his sandwich and held his coffee as he said to Lin Ruotang:

"You are eighteen now, it's time to work. I will send you to a training class someday. Once you start working, your uncle's life will be easier."

Seeing Lin Ruotang staring at him, Jin Dayong coughed.

"Well, I learned this from overseas. Isn't that the way it is in other countries? They raise children once they turn 18 and then stop caring about them. But I'm still your uncle. I've even found you a job. Come to work after you finish your training."

Lin Ruotang complained in her heart, who would send his niece to be a spy? She could only laugh.

"Thank you, uncle. You are so nice!"

Jin Dayong looked at Lin Ruotang's smile, a little dazed, and she looked about four or five percent similar to his sister.

He seemed to see that weak sister, and came back to his senses. He turned to Luo Yining and said:

"Look, our niece is made for this job. Look how sincere her smile is. I almost thought she was really thanking me."

Lin Ruotang's face froze, and he could only say:

"Nephews follow their uncles. You're a formidable spy, and I reckon you're not bad either."

Seeing Lin Ruotang say this, Luo Yining burst out laughing and said to Lin Ruotang:

"Okay, go shopping with me today, and then play cards with Mrs. Shen."

Jin Dayong finished eating, stood up, put on his suit and prepared to leave.

"I have to give my niece some exercise. After training, come directly to the General Affairs Office."

In Jin Dayong's General Affairs Office, Chen Yongsheng handed over a document. Jin Dayong saw that it was a document for applying to buy a bicycle. He signed it with a flourish and said to Chen Yongsheng:

"By the way, my niece is coming to work too, and she also wants a bicycle."

"Ms. Lin is coming?"

Chen Yongsheng was very surprised. Lin Ruotang looked like a weak female student, but could she do the work of a spy?

Not sure if Jin Dayong was just making up an excuse to get the money for the bicycle, he asked hesitantly:

"Ms. Lin can do this?"

"Why not just reserve a position for her in the General Affairs Office? She's just a young girl, what kind of work can she do?"

After hearing what Jin Dayong said, Chen Yongsheng understood that he was just trying to earn a salary here and didn't expect Lin Ruotang to do anything.

Lin Ruotang and Luo Yining went to the Shen family manor.

The manor not only has a garden fountain, but the house is also built gorgeously with colored glass, and the rooms are also magnificent and look extremely grand.

Luo Yining and Lin Ruotang walked along the small path in the manor. She introduced the relationships between the people here to Lin Ruotang.

"This is the home of the great traitor Shen He. He is the chairman of the maintenance association, a lackey of the Japanese, and he even sponsored food for the Japanese."

Lin Ruotang frowned, with anger in her eyes. Before she could say anything, she felt pain in her arm. She hissed and looked down to see Luo Yining pinching her arm.

Luo Yining's expression remained unchanged, and she was still smiling. She gritted her teeth and whispered in Lin Ruotang's ear:

"Stop being like this, unless you want to keep your life in the Shen family."

Lin Ruotang touched the place where Luo Yining pinched him and looked timid.

When they arrived at the manor, Luo Yining greeted everyone with a smile. She was surrounded by noble ladies wearing gorgeous cheongsams, and there were also a few young girls wearing Western dresses like Lin Ruotang.

"Mrs. Jin, whose girl is this? She's so pretty."

Shen He's wife was petite and a little plump, and she held Luo Yining's hand affectionately.

"My dear sister, this is Lao Jin's niece, her only child, and she was just brought to our family recently."

She is Jin Dayong's niece. Mrs. Shen's smile is more genuine.

"Come on, Mrs. Jin, we're short one, and you're the only one missing. Let's play a game."

Luo Yining played with him for a round, then called Lin Ruotang to join in.
