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

"We are going to have a new section chief in the Intelligence Department. Did you know about this?"

Hearing this, Lin Ruotang said with a firm look in his eyes:

"I only listen to you, Director Zhou!"

Zhou Qin narrowed her eyes, looked up and down at Lin Ruotang, and opened her red lips slightly.

"With the new section chief here, I can't say for sure who the Intelligence Department will obey. Think carefully. It won't be as glorious as it is now."

Lin Ruotang didn't know why Zhou Qin was testing her, so she immediately expressed her loyalty:

"Director Zhou, I know how good you are to me."

Seeing Lin Ruotang's confidence, Zhou Qin smiled and felt relieved. Then he slowly said:

"When the time comes, you will be the secretary to the new section chief."

Seeing that Lin Ruotang looked somewhat unwilling, Zhou Qin analyzed it carefully again.

"Don't underestimate her because she's the section chief and has real power. From now on, I'll just be a beautiful woman on the wall..."

"Director Zhou, you are the pillar of our intelligence department!"

Lin Ruotang took the opportunity to flatter him and immediately patted his chest and said:

"Director Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on the new section chief."

Zhou Qin nodded in satisfaction. She knew that Lin Ruotang was smart and knew what she meant. The new section chief had not arrived yet, so she would place a chess piece next to her first.

"The new section chief hasn't returned yet. She's still studying in Japan. We'll have to wait a while. During this time, you should get to know the new section chief well."

"Director Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely complete this task."

After Lin Ruotang finished speaking, he left Zhou Qin's office.

Lin Ruotang went back and told Luo Yining about this matter, but Luo Yining told Lin Ruotang something.

"Our superiors want us to cooperate with Xie Wuwei and rescue Wang Yiguang, the former head of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai station."

This matter is quite tricky. Rescuing someone from the detention center is more troublesome than killing someone in the interrogation room.

Lin Ruotang frowned. After much thought, she realized that she could only wait for the new section chief and Zhou Qin to fight, then she would have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"We'll only have a chance if Zhou Qin, Guan Hao, the new section chief, and the deputy captain start fighting."

After hearing what Lin Ruotang said, Luo Yining also agreed.

"There's no rush for this. Wait until the right time."

Xie Wuwei also contacted Bai Zhu because of this matter,

Xie Wuwei was dressed in disguise, wearing a blue gown and a black top hat.

He came near the hotel and observed that there were no spies nearby before stopping at a stall and pretending to buy something.

As soon as Bai Zhu returned home, he followed him in.

"The Military Control Commission must rescue Wang Yiguang this time. We must seize this opportunity to rescue our comrades."

Xie Wuwei walked into the room, took off his hat, and spoke directly.

Bai Zhu was very hesitant, as he was worried that this would expose Xie Wuwei and Lin Ruotang.

Xie Wuwei saw that Bai Zhu hadn't spoken for a long time, and his tone became anxious.

"Carrier Pigeon, you know we can't miss this opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, those comrades might not be able to wait for us to rescue them!"

Bai Zhu gritted his teeth, pounded his fist on his palm, and said to Xie Wuwei:

"Okay, I'll go back and inform my superiors to send someone to pick you up!"

After the two of them had discussed it, Xie Wuwei lowered his hat and left quickly.

After he had discussed it with Bai Zhu, he found Luo Yining and discussed the matter of rescuing Wang Yiguang.

"Hey, who do I think this is?"

Luo Yining covered her mouth and smiled, propping up her chin and looking at Xie Wuwei, blinking her bright eyes.

"Why don't you look for your Tangtang today?"

"Stop talking nonsense and talk about business."

Xie Wuwei frowned and spoke directly.

Luo Yining picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Your Tangtang said that the time has not come yet. We should at least wait until the new and old forces in the Secret Service Bureau are in chaos before we can rescue them. We have to wait a little longer."

Xie Wuwei just said,

"She's right!"

Without saying another word, he turned around and walked away.

Looking at Xie Wuwei's back as he walked away, Luo Yining smiled slightly.

Lin Ruotang also knew that the person Zhou Qin found to replace her was Sun Lan.

This is good. If Lin Ruotang wants to return to Zhou Qin, people like Sun Lan will be easier to get rid of.

After a while, Lin Ruotang received a call and Zhou Qin asked her to go to the office.

When they got to the office, Zhou Qin said:

"Next month, the new section chief, Zheng Manqiao, will be back. You can arrange a welcoming banquet then."

Lin Ruotang took a notebook and wrote it down. When she turned to leave, Zhou Qin called her again.

"By the way, go choose a gift and give it to the deputy captain of the action team."

Hearing Zhou Qin say this, Lin Ruotang asked curiously:

"What kind of person is the deputy captain of the action team?"

When Zhou Qin heard this, she frowned at first, then gave Lin Ruotang a meaningful look.

"Zhan Peng is a ruthless man. He previously held an important position in the National Salvation Army. He was chosen to be the deputy captain this time because he has a list of names."

Lin Ruotang instantly became alert and asked:

"List, what list?"

Zhou Qin turned the chair slightly, leaned back and said:

"What else could it be? It's a list of the National Salvation Army hiding in Shanghai. Don't you think about how long it's been since you last saw Xie Wuwei?"

Lin Ruotang pouted, nodded in agreement, and then asked in surprise:

"Then will the National Salvation Army and the Military Control Commission let him go?"

Zhou Qin stood up with a sneer on his face.

"The Military Control Commission and the National Salvation Army are all one family. No matter how they fight among themselves, in this situation, they will unite to face the outside world. I don't think Zhan Peng will survive for long."

Hearing this, Lin Ruotang lowered his brows. It seemed that Zhan Peng was on the assassination list of the Military Control Commission.

After get off work, she went home to discuss the rescue with Luo Yining. Now that Xie Wuwei was nowhere to be seen, the matter had to be rearranged.

Looking at the deserted Jin family, Lin Ruotang asked:

"Isn't my aunt home?"

"My wife is out playing cards!"

the maid replied.

Lin Ruotang thought about it and decided to go find Luo Yining and tell her that the new section chief would be back next month. This would be good news for them.

But as soon as she walked out of the Jin family, she noticed that someone seemed to be staring at her. She glanced at the crowded crowd.

Not finding anything unusual, Lin Ruotang frowned slightly. Her feeling was not wrong. Someone had been staring at her just now.

She was muttering in her heart, but her expression was calm. She waved at the roadside.

"rickshaw!"

"Come on!"

The rickshaw driver came running over quickly.

Lin Ruotang got on the rickshaw, took out a mirror and looked back. There was another rickshaw following her.

The person in the car was wearing a student hat, a shirt and overalls. The hat was pulled down very low, so her face could not be seen clearly. Only from her curvy figure could we tell that she was a woman.

Lin Ruotang's heart sank. Why was this person following him?

Unable to determine who was following her, she could only act cautiously. She immediately decided not to look for Luo Yining, fearing that her identity would be exposed. She had to think of someone on the spur of the moment, and said to the rickshaw driver:

"Go to No. 18 Jingjiang Lane!"
