Li Jingrong said to Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang.

"Yes, so now I feel that my suspicion was wrong. We should give him a chance. What if he really is in this situation and we turn the tables? What will others say about us, the Eighth Route Army?"

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang said.

"Then let's go back quickly. If we stay too long, we'll become suspicious."

Li Jingrong said.

After Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang finished the last two puffs of his cigarette, the two returned to their room.

"Xiao Shiya, Comrade Li Jingrong and I just discussed it. Considering your special situation, we've agreed to let you join the army."

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Commissar!"

Xiaoshi also excitedly shook hands with Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang.

"But you have to perform well in the future! From now on, you will be responsible for gathering information for us to help us fight against the Japanese army."

"No problem, I promise to complete the mission!"

Xiaoshi saluted excitedly as he spoke.

"Tomorrow, introduce yourself to everyone so that everyone can get to know you."

"OK, no problem!"

Afterwards, someone was sent to prepare a room for Xiaoshi.

"You'll live here from now on. My sister lived here for a while when she was visiting, but then she left. Now it's empty anyway, so this will be your new home from now on."

When Xiaoshi heard the commissar's words, his emotions instantly surged out like a flood. His eyes quickly became moist, and tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably. With a trembling voice, he said, "Thank you, commissar! Thank you so much!"

The political commissar smiled and waved his hand, responding kindly: "Oh, Xiaoshi, we are a family from now on, there is no need to be so formal and polite! Look at the sky, it's getting late, go and have a good rest." With that, the political commissar turned around and prepared to leave.

Xiao Shi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Political Commissar, you have been busy all day, so you should rest early!" As soon as he finished speaking, Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang walked away with steady steps, and his figure soon disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, Li Jingrong and Li Yunlong had already returned to their respective rooms to rest. However, having slept until the afternoon, Li Jingrong tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep at all.

He stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. It felt like countless bees were buzzing in his head, and all sorts of thoughts were tangled together. Sometimes he thought about what happened today, and sometimes he started to think about his future plans... Just like that, Li Jingrong lay in bed, lost in thought, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Who is it?" A puzzled voice came from the room.

"It's me, Xiaoshi." Along with the answer, there were light footsteps outside the door.

Li Jingrong jumped out of bed upon hearing the sound, and walked quickly to the door in his slippers. He reached out and grasped the doorknob, twisting it gently, and the door slowly opened.

"Oh, it's Xiaoshi. What's wrong? It's so late. Is there anything important?" Li Jingrong looked at Xiaoshi standing at the door and asked with a smile.

Xiao Shi scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hey, Brother Jingrong, I just couldn't sleep. My mind was in a mess, so I thought of coming to chat with you."

"Oh? Then why don't you go talk to your Captain Li? Maybe you can get better guidance." Li Jingrong looked at Xiao Shi with interest.

Xiao Shi shrank his neck, a trace of awe on his face. "Hey, Brother Jingrong, you know our Captain Li is very powerful. He is usually very serious. How could I dare to go to him?"

"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Li Jingrong couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I didn't expect you to be so good at judging people. But it's true, our Captain Li is a bit serious. In that case, you think I'm easy to get along with, so you came to me?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's it, Brother Jingrong. I see that you are always smiling and have a really good relationship with everyone, so I took the courage to come over." Xiaoshi nodded repeatedly with a silly look on his face.

"Okay, stop standing at the door and come in. I can't sleep tonight either, so let's have a good chat." As he said that, Li Jingrong stepped aside to make way and extended his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, Xiaoshi hurried into the house, still thanking him non-stop.

Li Jingrong closed the door, then walked to the table, picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water and handed it to Xiaoshi: "Come, drink some water to moisten your throat first, then tell me slowly, what is the reason why you can't sleep?"

"I was on Chang'an Avenue that day and noticed something wasn't right. I suspected something was wrong."

Xiaoshi said.

"Oh? Tell me what's wrong."

"I think Chang'an Avenue may have people arranged by Tanaka and Inoue."

"how do I say this?"

"That night I was resting in the hotel. In the middle of the night I had a stomachache and went to the bathroom. I heard people in the room next to me whispering something, so I listened carefully from inside the room."

“Then I heard this conversation.”

"How's the tunnel digging going?"

"Almost. It will be fine soon. About three more days."

"Once we've dug the tunnel, we'll put these barrels of explosives in. Three days later, we'll detonate them. Then the entire Chang'an Avenue will be... hehehe!"

Xiaoshi was also very scared when he heard the conversation between the two.

"Ah! What should we do? No, we must set out immediately to find the Eighth Route Army!"

"That's what I heard that night."

Li Jingrong was also shocked after hearing this.

"Ah! Then why didn't you tell me tonight?"

"I was so focused on talking about the arms base today that I forgot about it."

"So when I went back I couldn't think of anything else to say. I just remembered it, so I hurried over to tell you."

Xiaoshi said.

"Then do you know where they dug the tunnel?"

"I don't know about that. I only know they talked about digging a tunnel, and I didn't hear anything else."

"Okay, I'll tell everyone about this tomorrow. We need to take countermeasures!"

Li Jingrong said seriously.

Seeing Li Jingrong's serious expression, Xiaoshi didn't say anything else.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. I came here just to tell you this."

"Okay, go and get some rest."

Then Xiaoshi left.

"Looks like we're going to be busy again."

Li Jingrong lay on the bed thinking.

The next day, after Xiao Shi attended the new recruits' enlistment ceremony, Li Jingrong ran to find Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang.

"Political Commissar, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Xiao Shi came to my room last night and told me some new information about Chang'an Avenue."

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang, who was about to drink tea, stopped.

"Oh? What's the latest news? Tell me about it."

"He said that when he was staying at the hotel that day, he heard someone say that a tunnel was being dug on Chang'an Avenue, and it seemed that they were going to blow up Chang'an Avenue."

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang's expression instantly became serious after hearing this.

"Is this happening?"

"Well, it doesn't look like he's lying."

"Then why didn't he tell me last night?"

"We were all talking about the munitions base last night, so he forgot about it. After all, he just arrived and might be nervous."

Li Jingrong said.

"Then what are your plans?"

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang asked about Li Jingrong.

"I want to go to Chang'an Avenue and check it out. After all, I've been there so many times, so I'm quite familiar with the situation there."

"And Xiaoshi told me that the tunnel is almost dug and will be detonated in three days."

Li Jingrong said.

"Three days later, that would be the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, that's right, so I want to investigate the truth today and see if it's the Japanese army who's behind this!"

"Then I'm definitely indispensable at this time..."

Li Yunlong's words stopped the two from discussing.

The two turned their heads and looked at Li Yunlong.

"Why is it you again, Captain Li? Every time I mention Chang'an Avenue, you're always the first to hear it."

"Hey, hey, I've been standing at the door listening for quite a while."

"As soon as you finished your induction ceremony, I noticed something was wrong with you, so I quietly followed you. Sure enough, you came to see the political commissar."

"Hahaha, you two have a really good relationship! Hahaha!"

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang said with a smile.

"That's perfect. Why don't you two go to Chang'an Avenue together? I'm not too sure if you go alone."

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang said.

"Political Commissar, even if you don't say it, I know it very clearly in my heart! As long as he knows the situation, no one can stop him no matter what. He will definitely go forward regardless of the consequences." Li Yunlong said with a grin.

The political commissar smiled and nodded: "Hehehe, Comrade Jingrong understands me after all." A hint of pride appeared on Li Yunlong's face.

By this time, the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. The political commissar looked at the watch on his wrist, then said to Li Yunlong and Jing Rong with a serious face, "It's really getting late. There's no time to lose. You two should set off now."

We must find the target as quickly as possible and completely eliminate it. We must not give them any breathing space, lest they cause great harm in the future!"

"Yes! We will complete the task!" Li Yunlong and Jing Rong responded in unison.

After saying that, the two turned and walked towards the jeep parked nearby. However, just as they were about to open the door and get in, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, blocking their way. It was Xiao Shi, who looked hurried and breathlessly shouted, "Commissar, wait a minute..."
