Chapter 662 The Passing of Time 27

"Be careful and come back soon."

The man reached out and pinched her cheek. How could a couple not notice anything after living under the same roof for so long?

Neither of them said it outright.

For example, Qiu Juncheng knows that his wife has been going out every day lately, and he doesn't know what she's been busy with.

After putting on a set of gray coarse cloth clothes, a wig, and applying makeup to his face, Qiu Jun quickly transformed into a man in his forties. Once he was sure his disguise was flawless, he quietly left the courtyard.

This time he didn't drive; he simply slipped through the alley and onto the next street.

Erhunpu has closed down.

There wasn't a single light inside.

He climbed over the courtyard wall into the yard and then knocked on the door.

Someone inside quickly opened the door, "Qingsong?"

"It's me."

The two entered the house, and Manager Ma lit an oil lamp. They sat down on chairs. The tea had probably been brewed recently, and Manager Ma casually poured Qiu Juncheng a cup.

"Why are you so late?"

"Something came up and I was delayed."

"Because the intelligence we gathered last time was timely, the 29th Army won a great victory in the battle against the Japanese army. Boss Dai was very happy and praised you highly in the telegram. He also allocated 10,000 silver dollars to us."

Shopkeeper Ma's tone was filled with joy, "Our next mission is to cooperate with the action team to assassinate Qiao Zhengyi, the editor-in-chief of Xinmin Daily."

Qiu Juncheng was a top student who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. His mentor was a close confidant of Boss Dai. Because the Beiping Station was besieged by the Japanese many times, his group was separated.

He did not disappoint his master's expectations, as he made great contributions by providing intelligence on several occasions, and by this time he had already reached the rank of major.

...

When Qiu Juncheng returned, Ning Yan had already slept past Wudaoling.

He quickly washed up and crawled into bed, pulling the curled-up girl into his arms. With something on his mind, he found it hard to fall asleep.

"Ghost" hasn't appeared for a long time since the incident at the army hospital, and he hasn't been able to complete the tasks assigned by the organization.

So, who exactly is this ghost?

The person in his arms shifted uncomfortably, turned over, and tried to fall asleep on one side.

She's complaining that he's too hot again.

June weather is definitely not suitable for cuddling while sleeping.

But he only loosened his grip slightly, letting her turn around, before pressing himself against her again. The person in his arms seemed to understand that she couldn't escape, and stopped moving.

...

Qiu Juncheng has been quite busy these past few days. A high-ranking general is coming to Beiping soon, and He Rui is going to hold a welcome party for him. The meeting will be held at the Six Nations Hotel. All the police officers from the district have been sent to eliminate potential threats and maintain public order. Kawasaki is also acting strangely, calling on him for everything, which has made Qiu Juncheng want to grow a beard recently.

Even if he were single, let alone married, he wouldn't get involved with a Japanese devil.

He just wanted to kill him with one shot!

"Mr. Qiu, do you see any security risks in our surveillance setup?"

Qiu Juncheng: "There shouldn't be any more."

To ensure everything goes perfectly, I'll have my men check the Six Nations Hotel again from top to bottom later.

Kawasaki Itō: "Yosh, Mr. Qiu is always meticulous in his work, I feel at ease leaving this matter to you."

Luo Siyuan felt incredibly jealous seeing his subordinate catch Kawasaki's eye, but his current situation in the hall wasn't much better, and he really had no mood to compete with Kawasaki for her affections.

Although the police department is not a monolithic entity, it is like a drop of oil falling into a frying pan. The people under its command either have their own masters or are incompetent. None of them are as useful as Qiu Juncheng.

All he wants now is to make a good impression at this welcome banquet so that the people at headquarters can see him.

"Kawasaki-kun, I think we should double-check the route Matsui took from the plane to the hotel?"

After Luo Siyuan finished speaking, he gestured to Qiu Juncheng to help translate.

Qiu Juncheng glanced at Kawasaki. He had only discovered a month ago that Kawasaki understood Chinese. This guy was really good at hiding his abilities.

Kawasaki spoke directly this time: "Luo Sang, you are right. I'll leave this matter to you. You will personally lead the investigation and make sure that General Matsui has arrived safely at the Rokukoku Hotel."

Luo Siyuan: ...How did he end up with such a troublesome job?

However, he still obediently led his men to patrol the streets.

...

In the evening, Qiu Juncheng called home and said he wouldn't be coming back that night.

Ning Yan was extremely satisfied. It just so happened that she was going to pull off something big tonight, so she wouldn't have to make up excuses to appease him.

At midnight, the car drove through the empty streets of Beiping and soon arrived not far from Nanxincang.

Nanxincang was originally a granary, but not long after Beiping fell, it was transformed by the Japanese into an armory and arsenal.

After attaching an invisibility talisman, Ning Yan ignored the large group of Japanese soldiers at the door and walked straight in.

With the long night ahead and nothing to do, Ning Yan strolled around the arsenal. There were still people working there late at night. If she weren't afraid of alerting the enemy, she would have stolen the equipment and sent it to the west. She could have become a patriotic businessman with imperial approval, right?

However, not today, but next time.

Having found the warehouse where the weapons were stored, Ning Yan followed someone in while they were delivering supplies. What she saw was a row of boxes.

The two men carrying the items slammed the box onto the shelf.

The man behind them shouted, "Be careful! This place is full of dangerous goods. If we're not careful, the whole warehouse will blow up, and we probably won't even have a hair left!"

"Yes, team leader. It was my carelessness just now. I will definitely be more careful next time."

After these people put their things away and left, Ning Yan opened the box and found a newly released rifle inside.

It seems that all these boxes are filled with this stuff.

Their rule for placing items is to put them from back to front. If she steals something from behind, no one will notice for a short time unless someone deliberately walks to the back.

Once inside, she quickly collected everything, stopping once she had collected enough for today's transactions.

In any case, this place is no different from her own territory. Unless the Japanese move the arsenal, everything here will belong to her.

After leaving Nanxincang, Ning Yan drove to her warehouse. Zhang Dazhu was on duty in a small house next to the warehouse. When he saw her coming, he immediately stood up from his chair.

"Master."

Ning Yan waved her hand, "You stay here, I'll take inventory of the warehouse."

The large warehouse was divided into four storage rooms. The grain was stored in the largest room, the gasoline in the second room, and the medicine, cloth, cooking oil, etc., in the third room. The fourth room had never been opened. She only needed to go in and put the guns in the fourth room.
