Liuli Bridge.

"Let's stop here!" Liu Huilan said as she watched the car drive to the east end of the bridge.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of an alley at the east end of the bridge.

"I'll make a phone call first!" said Liu Huilan.

Zhang Yunhe nodded: "Be careful!"

Liu Huilan got out of the car, walked to a nearby telephone booth, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected: "Hello?"

"Mr. Lou, I have already translated the French article you asked me to translate a few days ago. I'll send it to you when you are free. I have to go on a long trip in two days and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time!" Liu Huilan went straight to the point.

The man on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said, "I happen to be free right now. Why don't you just deliver it to me and I'll pay you the full fee!"

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Huilan walked out of the phone booth and walked to the car and said softly, "Then I'll go over first. I'll be out in half an hour at most!"

"Go ahead, I'll wait here for you to come out and take your purse!"

Liu Huilan took the briefcase from Zhang Yunhe and walked into the alley.

Lao Cui was very surprised by Liu Huilan's arrival, because according to regulations, Liu Huilan could not come to him directly unless it was extremely urgent and required emergency contact.

"Huilan, what happened that made you violate the rules and come directly to me?" Lao Cui asked immediately after bringing Liu Huilan into the inner hall.

Liu Huilan startled Lao Cui when she heard this: "Lao Cui, my identity has been exposed! Just half an hour ago, I was about to go to school to teach the students, but before I even reached the door, several secret agents forcibly dragged me into a car..."

With Liu Huilan's narration, Lao Cui quickly understood what had happened.

"So your husband risked his life to kill seven or eight spies to save you? Can he have such a great ability alone?" Lao Cui asked doubtfully.

"Yes, even I couldn't believe that he had such agility and marksmanship. However, he was a comprador of a foreign company that secretly sold arms. He had sold tens of thousands of guns and artillery, so it was no surprise that he had such skills!" Liu Huilan explained.

After listening to this, Lao Cui thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Liu Huilan's statement. He then asked, "What exactly is going on? How did you get exposed?"

After this incident, Liu Huilan gradually matured. She said, "I've thought about this for a long time. No more than four people know my true identity: you, Xiangling, Lao Xiong, and my subordinate Huang Weiguo. All three of you know my address. If any one of you betrays me, the Japanese won't have to wait until the school gate to make a move. They'll go straight to my house to arrest me!"

"So the person who betrayed me could only be my subordinate, Huang Weiguo. Not only does he know I work at Wenchang Primary School, but he also met Xiangling once. I bet with his intelligence, it's not difficult for him to guess that Xiangling is also there. So now you must find a way to notify Lao Xiong to tell Xiangling to evacuate quickly and don't let her fall into the hands of the Japanese!"

"Also, Huang Weiguo participated in the Liushu Village operation. He's seen quite a few of our comrades. Although he might not be able to call out their names, he has a very good memory. There's no guarantee that he won't accidentally recognize one of our comrades on the street in the future. This is too dangerous. Such a traitor must be eliminated to prevent future trouble!"

Lao Cui's expression grew serious after hearing this. His mind raced. He took a deep breath and said, "Right now, killing the traitor isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that you and Xiangling have been exposed. Even if you don't evacuate, you won't be able to show up again for quite some time!"

"Just in case, you can't go back home anymore. You have to find another safe place to stay. Can you find such a place?"

Liu Huilan said: "It's ready-made, very safe!"

"Okay, you hide first and don't show up. I'll go to Lao Xiong to report this matter and ask him to notify Comrade Xiangling to evacuate immediately. Then I'll discuss with Lao Xiong whether you two should stay or go!" Lao Cui said.

Liu Huilan hesitated for a moment and said, "Comrade Lao Cui, there's something I must tell you. I'm pregnant, and Mr. Zhang already knows my identity. We discussed it just before we came here, and he thinks that in my current condition, it's no longer suitable for me to stay on the isolated island!"

"I know that since I joined the organization, my life no longer belongs to me. I just want to give birth to the baby in my belly safely so that our revolutionary cause will have another successor. I hope the organization will fully consider my special situation!"

After hearing this, Lao Cui asked, "Since your husband knows your identity, what is his opinion and attitude towards your current career?"

Liu Huilan said, "He didn't object to me continuing my revolutionary work! Lao Cui, I thought a lot on the way here. Given the brutality of our future struggles, I don't know if I can live to see the day of the revolution's victory. My husband is a very good man, and I don't want to implicate him and drag him into this dark, life-and-death battle!"

"So, I want to apply to the organization for a divorce from him. After the divorce, he and I will no longer have any relationship. Even if I am unfortunately arrested one day in the future, he will not be implicated!"

Lao Cui said seriously, "Comrade Huilan, the organization will seriously consider your special circumstances! However, I hope you will be more cautious in applying for a divorce from your husband. Revolution requires sacrifice, but there is more hope ahead. We cannot be pessimistic. We must have more and stronger courage to face and meet all challenges and overcome all obstacles!"

"You go back first. After we have a discussion and come up with specific arrangements, I'll post a missing person notice in the newspaper and contact you!"

Shortly after Liu Huilan left, Lao Cui was about to go out to contact Xiong Danian. Unexpectedly, he received a call from Chen Xiangling just as he was about to go out.

Ten minutes later, he came to the river and met Chen Xiangling.

"Comrade Xiangling, I was just about to meet Lao Xiong to inform you to evacuate immediately. Why are you here?"

Chen Xiangling was very surprised: "Notify me to evacuate? Lao Cui, could it be that you..."

"Yes, I know that Comrade Huilan was arrested, but she is out of danger now. She was rescued by her husband who risked his life to kill the spy who arrested her. I met her just before coming to meet you!" Lao Cui said.

After hearing this, Chen Xiangling said with great joy, "Hui Lan was rescued? Is this true? I can't believe it. I thought Hui Lan was definitely finished this time. There was no way she would get out alive after being captured by the Special High Technology Bureau!"

Lao Cui nodded affirmatively and said, "It's true. Huilan was rescued by her husband on the way back to the Special High Technology Bureau. Speaking of which, we all underestimated Mr. Zhang. He really is a capable man!"

"But he did strike at a perfect time. If Huilan had been taken to the Special High Technology Branch, it would have been difficult to rescue her!"

"Oh, right, Huilan also asked me to contact Comrade Lao Xiong and tell you to evacuate immediately. She said that her exposure might be due to the person we planted in the Special High Technology Department, code-named Nail, revealing his identity and causing him to betray. That person is Huang Weiguo. He saw you and Huilan together, so it shouldn't be difficult to guess that you might also work at Wenchang Primary School, so your identity is likely exposed as well!"

After hearing this, Chen Xiangling thought for a moment and said, "It's very possible indeed. I guess I need to call back to school and test the waters!"
