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

Wang Dabao held his breath and hid in the corner. He waited until the people were far away before he came out. His eyes met and then separated, obviously having heard the conversation between the two. He put the meal in the office and hurried to find Xie Wuwei.

He went directly to Xie Wuwei's house.

Xie Wuwei opened the door and saw Wang Zhongbao, and asked in surprise:

"Did you skip work?"

Wang Dabao rubbed his hands and said angrily:

"They asked me...I...I went to cook!"

Xie Wuwei let him in and snorted coldly.

"It's true that a tiger is bullied by a dog!"

"I...I, I came here...because I heard it's related to...the Japanese. Maybe the Military Control Commission...and government departments...are hiding...Japanese spies!"

Hearing this, Xie Wuwei's face was thoughtful, but he thought that the people of the Military Control Commission would not let him interfere, so he could only say:

"You kid, can't you see that we're made for each other? I'll go to headquarters and write to you. If you can't make it here, come find me!"

After sending Wang Dabao away, Xie Wuwei looked at Lin Ruotang behind him.

"It's impossible that Japanese spies are only in the Kuomintang!"

Both of them thought of one thing, that is, there might be Japanese spies lurking in the Red Party.

"Humph, what's the point of them being on guard against me? When the time comes, I'll just tell Chen Shou, and he'll definitely want to know too."

It's already October, and it's almost time for them to leave.

On October 10, the day of the Anti-Japanese Victory Conference, Shanghai was extremely lively and crowded with people.

Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei sat in the teahouse, looking at the people downstairs holding banners, including workers, doctors and students.

There was a lion dance at the head, the sound of firecrackers continued, and everyone had a relaxed smile on their face.

Lin Ruotang had a smile on his face and his eyes were sparkling.

Xie Wuwei also spoke in a daze. Everyone's smile was so simple.

At this time, Zhang Tingshen and his colleagues were riding bicycles, holding victory banners in their hands, and behind the parade, students were dancing. Everyone was so energetic.

There were crowds of people watching nearby, and everyone was filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Knock down!"

There was a knock on the box door.

Wu Youxiang pushed the door open and came in. He looked at Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei with a smile on his face.

"I knew you were here."

Although Wu Youxiang is not a good person, he truly hates the Japanese. Now that he doesn't have to please the Japanese, he looks a lot more relaxed.

Xie Wuwei raised his eyebrows and said to him:

"Sit down and have a cup of tea!"

"It's rare!"

After Wu Youhao sat down, he poured himself a glass.

Xie Wuwei also chuckled.

"I'm in a good mood lately."

"You hid it very well. I suspected you, but for Miss Lin's sake, I didn't care."

Hearing Wu Youxiang's words, Lin Ruotang smiled helplessly.

"We're finally sitting together drinking tea, so don't bring up these things."

Seeing this, Wu Youxiang knew that what he said was inappropriate. After all, they were now considered a department. He picked up the tea and took a sip.

"By the way, I don't know how the higher-ups will assign you any military ranks."

"Who knows? We're going to Chongqing this month, and we don't know what the arrangements will be."

After hearing this, Lin Ruotang didn't care about the reward from the Military Control Commission. She just wanted to know where she would go.

This question touched Wu Youhao's heart. With hesitation in his eyes, he said to Lin Ruotang:

"I'm still in Shanghai. The police stations are completely scattered. I don't know which department I'll go to in the future."

Wu Youhao was also gloomy. The uncertain future made him worried all day long.

Xie Wuwei knocked on the table and spoke slowly.

"After all, we've known each other for so many years, and I'll tell you the truth. If you were in Shanghai, you'd be a fat sheep in the eyes of those people."

Hearing this, Wu Youxiang's eyes flickered. He also knew that those people were a group of leeches. If he didn't have a backer, he would probably be sucked dry soon. He whispered:

"You did speak the truth."

"The war isn't over yet. There can't be two people in charge of this family. There will definitely be chaos. The military will definitely be more powerful than the police. I don't want to stay in the police station anymore."

Wu Youhao had thought about this for a long time. He couldn't stand following others around and being timid. Anyone could slap him in the face. As for flattering others, he couldn't do it before, and now that he has become the director, he can't do it even more.

He had only one goal, to climb higher and not suffer the consequences.

Xie Wuwei glanced at Wu Youxiang. He thought that Wu Youxiang was a smart man, but he placed too much emphasis on interests.

Seeing this, Lin Ruotang also said softly:

"After all, we are at the same site. When the time comes, please keep in touch and help each other."

Wu Wuwei raised his teacup, Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei raised theirs, and the three of them drank a cup with tea instead of wine.

Sometimes information asymmetry and connections are the key to success.

The three of them were sitting together peacefully for a rare moment, watching the lively scene outside, when there was another knock on the door.

The ones who came this time were Zhang Tingshen, Wu Youcheng, and Tian Jiaqing.

Seeing Wu Youxiang here, Wu Youcheng shouted in surprise:

"Brother, why are you here?"

Wu Youhao frowned slightly and asked:

"Why can't I be here?"

Wu Youcheng laughed awkwardly.

Lin Ruotang stood up and said to Zhang Tingshen:

"I saw you guys just now, and I can tell you've been rehearsing for a long time..."

After hearing this, the three people all laughed. After all, everyone was still in an excited state during this period.

Seeing so many people, Xie Wuwei suggested,

"We're all acquaintances, let's go have a meal together!"

Sitting at the dinner table, everyone was in a rare harmony.

At the dinner table, Zhang Tingshen was impressed by Xie Wuwei. He thought he was a reckless man, but he didn't expect that he knew so much.

At the end of October, Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei took the train to Chongqing.

They wore dark green military uniforms and were awarded medals. The station chief and deputy station chief in Shanghai were probably dead, and the two of them who survived in the enemy camp were particularly representative.

Xie Wuwei became a lieutenant colonel, and Lin Ruotang became a major. Now the two of them were celebrities, and there was an endless stream of people attending banquets and visiting them.

Compared to Lin Ruotang, Xie Wuwei is more popular.

One reason is that Lin Ruotang is a woman, and most of the other officers are men, so it is inconvenient for them to interact with each other.

Another thing is that Chen Shou was very optimistic about Xie Wuwei and was determined to support him as his right-hand man.

Another social reality is that if there is a promotion, it will definitely be men. For Lin Ruotang, if she gives birth to a child, the time and capital invested in her will be wasted.

The two of them have no plans to have children now, but others don’t think so. The two of them are one. In the eyes of others, Lin Ruotang must give way to Xie Wuwei.

Xie Wuwei also noticed the thoughts of other members of the Military Control Commission, especially Chen Shou, who often took Xie Wuwei with him. On the surface, he said that they both had worked at the Shanghai station, but in fact he wanted to pull Xie Wuwei into his camp.

And since Xie Wuwei came to support Chen Shou, it was impossible for Lin Ruotang to support any other team.

Chen Shou drove Xie Wuwei back to the hotel. Looking at Xie Wuwei staggering out of the car, Chen Shou whispered:

"Xie Wuwei, you've seen it too. Life here is no worse than in Shanghai!"
