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

Lin Ruotang saw the man selling newspapers.

It was a little boy of about twelve, thirteen or four years old. He had dark skin and small eyes, but he looked very clever. His clothes were full of patches. He kept shouting:

"Newspaper seller, newspaper seller, sir, ma'am, please buy a newspaper!"

"Miss, would you like to buy a newspaper? Buy today's newspaper and get yesterday's evening edition."

Lin Ruotang bought the newspaper and looked at the boy, feeling confused.

This ten-year-old boy was an underground courier, who passed on pieces of intelligence at great risk to himself.

She glanced at the crowd. These underground couriers might be unknown aunties selling vegetables, or white-haired old people, or young wives getting married, or children playing on the roadside.

No one wants to be a slave of a conquered nation. At this time, everyone is a warrior.

They are all making great contributions to the anti-Japanese war.

Even though she was deeply moved, Lin Ruotang had to calm down because she had to enter a den of tigers and wolves and deal with those people.

Arriving at the Secret Service Bureau, she quickly sat down at her desk and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Almost late!”

He Miao muttered to herself, what's the difference between coming early and coming late, they all just do the same work.

But we also know that those who have backgrounds are not the same as those who don’t have backgrounds.

No matter how much she complained in her heart, she still had to smile and say to Lin Ruotang:

"Hey, Secretary Lin, you went to curl your hair. This curl looks better than some people's hair."

Lin Ruotang naturally knew who she was talking about.

Except Liu Yan, no one is so annoying.

At this time, Liu Yan walked into the office, put down the documents with a proud look, and walked to Lin Ruotang's desk.

The fashion in the Republic of China was exaggerated curly hair, and anyone with a little money would have it curled.

Her hair was exaggerated and curled high, making her look like a star on a poster.

Liu Yan also followed Zhou Qin's example and put on bright red lipstick, looking a little mature.

Lin Ruotang looks particularly energetic and pure with her fluffy curly hair and light pink lipstick, and even looks younger.

"Tsk, trash is trash, all he does is read newspapers!"

Lin Ruotang put away the newspaper, raised his head and said weakly:

"I'm useless. What great achievement did Assistant Liu make? Tell me, everyone, you're just a secretary assistant, yet you act like the Director of the Intelligence Department!"

"Sooner or later..."

Liu Yan couldn't stand Lin Ruotang's stimulation at all, especially when she saw Lin Ruotang's face, which was as tender and smooth as a peeled egg.

She didn't understand why this woman was not only pretty, but also Xie Wuwei, a man, could do anything for Lin Ruotang.

She was still unwilling in her heart. In fact, Xie Wuwei was considered to be an extremely outstanding man in the Secret Service Bureau. His desperate defense of his people made the female spies feel excited.

But Lin Ruotang is not someone who is easy to mess with, and he has an uncle who is a director, so these people can only give up.

Liu Yan wanted to hook up with Xie Wuwei, but Xie Wuwei didn't even glance at her. Only Song Wei followed her eagerly, which made her frustrated self-confidence swell a lot.

Liu Yan was about to say something when she saw Wang Shumei walk in. Wang Shumei pushed her glasses.

"Hurry up and go up, Mr. Zhou is mad up there."

Liu Yan could only glare at Lin Ruotang fiercely before turning around and leaving.

Lin Ruotang rolled his eyes. This Liu Yan was really a troublemaker.

After Liu Yan left, Lin Ruotang took out the cup she brought with her, filled a pot of boiling water, and then slipped into Jin Dayong's office to grab some tea leaves.

Then he sat down at the office desk to sort out documents. During a break, he took out the newspaper and read it.

She saw the advertisement in the middle. There were only numbers in the advertisement. After converting the numbers, it turned out to be a place name.

"Longjiang Tailor Shop."

She put down the newspaper calmly, knowing that the "carrier pigeon" would definitely meet her there.

Lin Ruotang put away the newspaper and started gossiping with the people in the office.

The more generous Lin Ruotang behaved, the less suspicious he became. After all, no one would bring the contact information to the Secret Service.

In the Intelligence Bureau on the third floor, Zhou Qin discovered that the documents had been tampered with and lost her temper again.

"Liu Yan, it takes you so long to deliver a document?"

"Didn't I tell you that there must always be someone in the office and no one should just come into my office?"

Liu Yan lowered her head and said nothing, feeling indignant. She thought Zhou Qin's work was very simple and thought she could do it too. Moreover, Zhou Qin had not made any major contribution during this period.

After Liu Yan left, Wang Shumei hesitated to speak. Zhou Qin frowned and asked:

"What do you want to say?"

Wang Shumei pushed up her glasses and said what Liu Yan had said arrogantly. Seeing Wang Shumei's silence, Zhou Qin slowed down her tone.

"I know you don't like to talk about others behind their backs, and you're telling me this for my sake."

After comforting Wang Shumei, Zhou Qin's face turned ugly.

"I want to kick Liu Yan out of the Intelligence Department."

"Director Zhou, this isn't good. After all, Liu Feng is here!"

Wang Shumei's words did not calm Zhou Qin's anger at all, but rather added fuel to the fire.

Zhou Qin snorted coldly, her eyes full of displeasure.

"Liu Feng, who the hell is he? How can I be afraid of him?"

She thought of something and changed the subject, her tone light and airy.

"If I let Liu Yan go like this, I won't feel happy either."

She thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"But I have a good idea."

Wang Shumei has followed her for so long, of course she knows what she is thinking.

As expected, Zhou Qin said to Wang Shumei:

"What do you think of Lin Ruotang?"

Wang Shumei did not hide it and told Zhou Qin openly,

"Last time, it was Lin Ruotang who hinted to me that I could cross out Liu Yan's attendance record. I also thought that Liu Yan might not be able to compete with Lin Ruotang. Even though Lin Ruotang is lazy and never comes in late or leaves early, I can't even find fault with her at work."

Zhou Qin nodded. She knew that Wang Shumei was targeting Liu Yan. After all, Liu Yan had always bypassed her direct superior, Wang Shumei, and went directly to her immediate superior, Zhou Qin, which caused great dissatisfaction among Wang Shumei.

"That's fine. I think Director Jin will be very happy to know that Lin Ruotang has come to the Intelligence Department."

Zhou Qin definitely didn't just want to target Liu Yan. She wanted to take the opportunity to muddy the waters and find out the traitor hiding in this building.

Lin Ruotang didn't know that he would soon enter the Intelligence Department.

After Lin Ruotang got off work, he took a bus to Longjiang Tailor Shop.

Lin Ruotang looked around the tailor shop. It was decorated in a very Western style, but it also had a Chinese touch everywhere, giving it a fusion of Chinese and Western styles.

The tailor shop's proprietress came over and asked:

"What kind of dress would you like, miss?"

The owner of the tailor shop was a woman, about forty years old, looking dignified and gentle. She said to Lin Ruotang:

"Miss, please come with me into the house to measure the size."

The owner of the tailor shop walked out of the shop, took down the yellow signboard flag under the window, and replaced it with a red signboard flag.

At this time, the woman who was hanging clothes on the opposite building saw the red flag and immediately placed a pot of green plants outside the window.

After a while, a man in a long gown and a top hat appeared on the street.

After taking the measurements, Lin Ruotang walked out of the room and saw a man in the store holding an evening paper. The man hurried over and the two almost bumped into each other, and the evening papers in their hands fell.

"Feel sorry!"

The man said in a low voice, his hat pulled low.

Lin Ruotang's expression changed. It seemed that the contact person had appeared. She lowered her eyes and whispered:

"It's ok!"

The man picked up the two newspapers, took the opportunity to swap them, and gave the information he was going to pass on to Lin Ruotang.

Lin Ruotang took the newspaper without changing her expression, stuffed it into her bag as if she didn't care, got into a rickshaw on the side of the road and left in a hurry.

Behind him, Bai Zhu raised his head slightly, saw Lin Ruotang's disappearing figure, turned around and went into the tailor shop and stayed there for a while before leaving.

The two of them didn't communicate much throughout the whole process, but Lin Ruotang had already obtained the information.
