Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

A week later, in the morning, the sun shone gently on the steps in front of the Sudong Provincial Government Building.

Lu Yang had just walked out of the door and had no time to stretch when he was stopped by a vegetable vendor.

"Sir, buy some fresh vegetables!" the vendor greeted enthusiastically, the green vegetables in the basket exuding the fragrance of earth.

Lu Yang frowned and said, "Sorry, I'm at work and don't have time to buy groceries."

He was about to walk around the vendor when he saw him suddenly wipe his face, revealing a row of white teeth and smiling exceptionally brightly.

"Xiao He?" Lu Yang widened his eyes in surprise.

He quickly pulled Xiao He into the alley next to him and squatted down pretending to pick vegetables.

"Xiao He, why are you here?" Lu Yang asked in a low voice, feeling both happy and nervous.

Ever since he had a falling out with Chen Yijun and was forced to leave, he had never seen Xiao He again.

Xiao He looked around and made sure no one was paying attention before he quietly replied, "The organization sent me to work with you. Knowing that Lin Wei was exposed, I will be your liaison from now on."

I sell things near the provincial capital every day, so it’s convenient for me to meet up with people.

Lu Yang felt warm in his heart and quickly told Xiao He his home address. "If necessary, you can contact me at home. You can disguise yourself as a student and say you are Lin Wei's student, understand?"

Xiao He nodded, then said seriously, "Uncle Lu, there's a traitor at the intelligence station. The organization only trusts your line. The first task is to clarify the matter of the military cotton-padded jackets. You just need to get detailed information about the transportation."

Lu Yang's heart sank, but he remained calm. "I understand. I'll find out as soon as possible."

The two chatted for a few more words and then parted ways.

Lu Yang pretended nothing had happened and returned to work, but he was thinking about his next move in his mind.

The next day, Lu Yang came to the textile factory again.

When the factory manager saw him, his face immediately turned ugly.

"Commissioner Li, why are you here again?" The factory director forced a smile, but his voice couldn't hide his irritation.

Lu Yang sneered, "Director, your inventory records don't match your delivery records. They're obviously fabricated. I have a responsibility to investigate."

The factory manager's expression changed. "Commissioner Li, are you suspecting we're cooking the books?"

Lu Yang remained unmoved. "I'm just being realistic. Director, please call the dispatcher so we can check the accounts together."

The factory manager had no choice but to call the dispatcher.

The dispatcher was a tall and thin man with a flickering eye. It was obvious that he was not an honest man.

He stammered, "Commissioner Li, this... this can't be correct. The army didn't even allow our people to be present when they came to load the goods, so there's no way to calculate the number."

Lu Yang pretended to ask casually, "Oh? Then when do you usually come to pick up the goods?"

The dispatcher scratched his head. "Three days from now. They'll just ask us to fill up the warehouse, and we can't get involved in anything else."

Lu Yang pretended to be confused, "Filled? There must be a specific number, right?"

The dispatcher waved his hands irritably. "These days, with all the chaos and war, it's hard to find people to hire. Who has the time to count?"

Lu Yang sneered, "Isn't this just an excuse? It's obvious that someone in your group is secretly stealing and selling military supplies!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the factory director and the dispatcher's expressions changed.

The two sides immediately started arguing, arguing with each other and neither of them was willing to give in.

In the end, Lu Yang pretended to leave with hatred.

As he walked out of the factory, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't know if this information was accurate, he had to tell Xiao He.

Arriving at the gate of the provincial government, Lu Yang saw Xiao He squatting on the roadside selling vegetables from afar.

Instead of going forward directly, he brushed past Xiao He and walked into an alley nearby.

Xiao He quickly followed, and while the two of them were picking vegetables, Lu Yang quickly told Xiao He what he had learned.

"I will go and confirm it myself in three days." Lu Yang said in a low voice.

Xiao He nodded, "Be careful, don't expose yourself."

After finishing his instructions, Lu Yang walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened and continued with his work.

Three days later, late at night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the wall of the textile factory.

Lu Yang changed into a black nightgown and sneaked into the factory quietly.

He hid behind a pile of cardboard boxes and waited quietly.

At two o'clock in the morning, the roar of an engine broke the silence of the night.

Lu Yang held his breath and saw several large trucks slowly driving into the factory.

Several men in military uniforms jumped out of the trucks and began to load cotton-padded clothes onto them with swift movements. Lu Yang counted carefully and found that there were more than a dozen trucks.

"It's true!" Lu Yang was secretly happy. Now he finally had solid evidence.

After the loaders walked away, Lu Yang quietly slipped out of the factory and went to the nearest public telephone booth.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, Lu Yang didn't say anything, but just tapped the microphone rhythmically with his fingers.

The other party understood the code and quickly hung up the phone.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, the task was finally half completed.

He was about to leave when he heard footsteps behind him.

"Who?" a rough voice sounded.

Lu Yang was shocked and didn't dare to look back. He pretended to be drunk and staggered out of the phone booth.

"Oh, I drank too much...I can't find the way home..." He deliberately spoke drunkenly and walked forward with unsteady steps.

The person behind him looked at him suspiciously, seemed to believe his drunken state, and did not ask any further questions.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to pretend to be drunk, staggering away.

After making sure it was safe, he returned to normal and quickly returned home.

When I opened the door, Lin Wei was sitting in the living room waiting anxiously.

Seeing Lu Yang return safely, she immediately pounced on him.

"You're finally back! I was so worried!" Lin Wei hugged Lu Yang tightly, her voice filled with tears.

Lu Yang patted her back gently. "Don't be afraid, I'm fine. Mission accomplished."

Lin Wei let go of her hand and looked at Lu Yang carefully, "Are you okay?"

Lu Yang shook his head. "Don't worry, I'm very careful."

The two sat on the sofa, and Lu Yang briefly recounted his experience tonight. After listening, Lin Wei showed a worried look on her face.

"It's too dangerous, Lu Yang. If we are discovered..."

Lu Yang held Lin Wei's hand. "Don't worry, we are doing the right thing. Think about the soldiers fighting on the front lines. They are the ones who are truly risking their lives."

Lin Wei nodded, tears in her eyes. "You're right. We can't give up."

Lu Yang looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, secretly thinking about his next move.

At this moment, he just wanted to have a good rest. Tomorrow would be a new challenge.

Lu Yang gently hugged Lin Wei, and the two snuggled together, enjoying this brief moment of peace.

Outside the window, the morning light is breaking and a new day is about to begin.
