At the end of 1949, with the first heavy snowfall, the city of Peking became a sea of ​​white.

The west wing of the front yard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. "Wife, come here. I stewed a chicken for you. Drink it while it's hot." Zhao Cheng walked into the bedroom, carrying a large bowl of chicken soup.

"Brother Cheng, you'd better stop working. I can't eat this chicken soup all day long. You've been making this every day since I started my confinement period. I've gained a lot of weight!" Pingping looked at the chicken soup that Zhao Cheng brought her and felt that she couldn't eat it anymore. No one could stand eating chicken soup for more than 20 days!

"Oh, isn't there anything else we can do? These two kids eat too much, and you also need some nourishment! There's really nothing delicious to eat, so I can only give you some chicken soup to nourish you!" Zhao Cheng was also helpless. At this moment, there was really nothing delicious to eat.

"Oh, Brother Cheng, we can just eat whatever we like. You don't have to make delicious food for me! This is enough to feed two children, you don't have to worry!" Pingping begged for mercy.

"Okay, drink this, and I'll change it for you tomorrow!" Zhao Cheng brought it to Pingping and asked Pingping to drink it.

Looking at the two children lying next to Pingping, Zhao Cheng was very satisfied. The little one might have inherited his genes. This little one was not even a month old, but he looked much older than a full-month old one.

"Brother Cheng, you haven't been to work much these days. Is there nothing going on in your office?" Pingping asked while drinking chicken soup.

"It's okay. Everyone in the institute knows about our situation. We don't have an elderly person. What will I do if I don't take leave to take care of you? Don't worry. Besides, it's almost the New Year. There are fewer fights and quarrels, and petty thieves don't come to our area anymore. The director can take care of the rest." Zhao Cheng said indifferently.

After hearing what Zhao Cheng said, Pingping stopped talking. After all, there was really nothing she could do about her family's situation.

While Zhao Cheng was at home taking care of his wife and children, a discussion was taking place in the Peking Urban Bureau.

"Zheng Chaoyang, tell me what you think." Director Luo looked at Zheng Chaoyang and said.

"Regarding the issue of support, I personally think it would be more appropriate for the three of us, Bai Ling, Hao Pingchuan and I, to go together!" Zheng Chaoyang thought about it and said cautiously.

After hearing Zheng Chaoyang's words, Director Luo also fell into deep thought. News came from the Shanghai Municipal Police Department that as work in Beiping City gradually got back on track, they were in urgent need of a group of experienced police comrades to support Shanghai's anti-espionage work and train local comrades.

"Does anyone else have any different opinions?" Director Luo looked at the leaders around him.

"Should we draw a group of people from below to go together? Shanghai asked us to draw some people for support, so we will send three people over?" The political commissar of the police station looked at Director Luo and said in a deep voice.

The political commissar's words caused everyone to start discussing again. After all, Shanghai requested support, and the ministry allowed the Peking Urban Bureau to decide the support list on its own, just because it didn't want to make everyone angry. After all, many comrades have already settled down in Peking, and it would be a bit inappropriate to force an order.

"Then everyone should go back and organize the mobilization of each police station. The Municipal Bureau will select Zheng Chaoyang and three others, and each police station will have one person! Go with them! This time we are just providing support, and it will take about half a year! After we select the people, we will set off immediately after the New Year!" Director Luo made the final decision.

After the meeting, Zheng Chaoyang and the other two came to Zheng Chaoyang's office.

"Old Zheng, are you very happy that we are going to Shanghai together?" Hao Pingchuan said happily.

"What's there to be happy about? We're just on secondment here. We'll have to come back after we're done helping out! It's just a temporary change of work location." Bai Ling rolled her eyes at Hao Pingchuan.

"That's great! I haven't been to Shanghai yet! I heard that it was a big city before liberation, but it was much bigger than Beijing! I really want to see it!" Hao Pingchuan looked longingly.

"Zheng Chaoyang, do you have any concerns? Are you unhappy about going to Shanghai with us?" Bai Ling asked curiously when she saw Zheng Chaoyang's thoughtful look.

"No, I'm thinking, should we find some more powerful ones to go with us? After all, Shanghai is different from Beijing. It used to be an international metropolis, and there are intelligence personnel from various countries everywhere. Although many of them have been evacuated to Mingzhu, no one can say how many undercover personnel are left behind! Moreover, the struggle situation there is definitely much more severe than in Beijing!" Zheng Chaoyang expressed his concerns.

"Then who do you want to go with you?" Hao Pingchuan asked anxiously.

Zheng Chaoyang looked at Hao Pingchuan without saying anything. But Bai Ling seemed to have guessed it and asked tentatively, "Do you want to transfer Zhao Cheng to go with you?"

Zheng Chaoyang nodded slightly.

"No, Old Zheng, how could you think of asking Zhao Cheng to go with you? No wonder Zhao Cheng said you were cheating! His child was just born and not even a month old, and you asked him to leave his wife and children and go to Shanghai with you?" Hao Pingchuan was more direct. After hearing what Zheng Chaoyang said, he jumped up on the spot and pointed at Zheng Chaoyang.

"Old Hao, keep your voice down. I'm at my wit's end. Among the people we know, is there anyone who is skilled in both criminal investigation and counter-espionage? I really don't have anyone!" Zheng Chaoyang quickly grabbed Hao Pingchuan and told him to stop shouting.

"Zheng Chaoyang, your consideration is right, but isn't it a bit unkind of us to do this?" Bai Ling also felt that Zheng Chaoyang was going a bit too far.

"That's why I'm a little confused! But who can blame us for being short of people now? Besides, the situation in Shanghai is really serious! I heard that the power plant there was bombed three or four times this month alone. After all, many undercover personnel in Shanghai are local members of the Qinghong Gang. They have a complex composition and a large number of people! If you don't have some skills and brains, you won't be able to do your job well if you go there!" Zheng Chaoyang expressed his concerns.

After listening to Zheng Chaoyang's analysis, the two also felt that this matter was really difficult to handle.

"How about this? Since we have nothing to do this afternoon, let's go find Zhao Cheng and see if we can discuss letting him go with us! Anyway, we only have half a year, and we will focus on training there, so Zhao Cheng should agree!" After Zheng Chaoyang finished speaking, he picked up his hat and walked out of the Municipal Bureau office building.

Bai Ling and Hao Pingchuan looked at Zheng Chaoyang as he walked out, and then they exchanged a glance. They followed Zheng Chaoyang towards Zhao Cheng's house. After all, they hadn't been to Zhao Cheng's house since his wife gave birth, so this was a good opportunity to go and see him! After all, they might have already left by the time the baby was one month old.

About half an hour later, Zheng Chaoyang and the other two arrived at Zhao Cheng's house.

"Lao Zhao, are you home? We're here to see you!
