Chapter 29: A Dagger Hidden in the Sugar

The comrades guarding her discovered this and asked the captain for permission. They removed the gag, pointed a gun at her head, and asked, "What do you want to confess? Don't try to play tricks on me!"

Yu Jiao, fearing chaos in the world, blew up on Bai Shengze's behalf: "This Bai is definitely not a Fusang insider, I can guarantee it."

She said that this guy was no ordinary person, and that she felt like he was a kindred spirit when they first met at the wedding.

Sure enough, their purpose was the same, both wanted the blueprints, but she wanted to steal them while he wanted to destroy them.

"He's definitely a member of the White Party, and she..." Yu Jiao pointed at her cheap cousin with ill intentions, and started to spit out slanderous words: "She's a Fuso, just like me. She's my downline. Don't let her fool you!"

Yu He rolled her eyes at her. "You're the one lying, you shameless Japanese dog."

The team leader had someone cover her mouth again to stop her from talking nonsense and biting whoever she caught like a mad dog.

Yu Jiao tried to struggle even though she failed to sow discord.

Bai Shengze climbed back up and sneered, "Anyone with eyes can see she's one of the Reds who's targeting us. How dare you come here when you're so blind? Has Fusang been wiped out by your American father?"

After attacking the Red Party, they attacked Japan, mainly launching an indiscriminate attack.

Yu Jiao was furious: "Baga! I'm going to kill you!"

Then the guard hit him on the back of the neck with the butt of a rifle, causing his eyes to roll back and he to pass out.

After Bai Shengze finished scolding her, he turned to look at Yu He and said calmly, "Come on, we love each other during the day and kill each other at night. This fate of ours is unparalleled. Go ahead, give me a quick death, and I will admit all the charges."

"Don't think I dare not kill you!" Yu He's face was as cold as frost, and the dagger in her hand stabbed into his neck.

The captain immediately stopped him: "Comrade Yu He, please calm down and don't fall for his trick!"

Death is so easy, and everything is over.

For an exposed spy, death is the best relief, not a punishment, but a gift.

Yu He understood, so her dagger only cut a layer of Bai Shengze's skin and did not hurt his vitals.

Bai Shengze sighed regretfully, "I actually like you very much, but unfortunately we are on different sides, so we are destined to be apart. But no matter what, I was able to complete this mission thanks to you, and I cannot thank you enough."

Yu He: "Huh, you're just trying to drag me down with all this talk. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. If I hadn't been willing to cooperate, do you think it would have gone so smoothly?"

Bai Shengze heard something from her words and his face changed: "The things inside are fake, this is a trap!"

He suddenly looked up and met Qin Fengnian's gaze from afar.

Qin Fengnian pointed his finger at his solar plexus, the meaning was self-evident.

The real things are all in his mind. The so-called valuable drawings stored outside are all fake. They are specially made baits placed in the trap.

Look, this has lured out these two big fish.

Bai Shengze understood and immediately lost the relaxed and leisurely look he had just had after completing the task. His face was as dark as ink and looked frighteningly ugly.

"Go on your way." The comrades rushed over, tied him up, and took him away for interrogation.

After the incident was over, it was almost dawn. Rongzhen had been frightened all night and was exhausted. She yawned and wanted to go back to the courtyard to catch up on some sleep.

No matter whether she could sleep or not, she had to go back and lie down to rest.

Qin Fengnian held her back and said, "The bedroom is ruined. Don't go back to sleep there."

Rongzhen: "Then where are we going?"

Qin Fengnian took her to the welfare house allocated to him by the factory. It was located above the decent and tidy cadre building. It was only more than 20 square meters, but it had everything it needed. It was not a problem for her to move in with just her luggage.

"I lived here before. It's more convenient for commuting, but the space isn't as big as the courtyard house. Most of the things are still usable. I'll buy anything if you need it. Let's live here for a while and go back after the bedroom over there is renovated."

While giving instructions, Qin Fengnian quickly made the bed for Rongzhen to lie down and rest. He then immediately took a basin of water and started cleaning.

Although he tried to be as gentle as possible, Rongzhen couldn't just stand there and watch, so he endured the fatigue and helped clean up with a rag.

It is said that work is not tiring when men and women work together. The couple worked together and quickly cleaned up the not-so-big house and put away all the daily necessities.

Just as Qin Fengnian said, everything here is complete and usable, so you can move in directly without having to buy anything else.

When I finished my work, it was already dawn. There was gradually some movement in the building. There were people living next door to me on both sides, and the sounds made by the neighbors getting up early could be heard clearly.

Rong Zhen was no longer sleepy, so she asked Qin Fengnian to light the stove, wanting to make breakfast with the limited ingredients.

They came in such a hurry last night that they had no time to buy groceries. Now all they had was a small bag of rice and two handfuls of noodles, plus a few pieces of pickled cabbage, which were left over from when Qin Fengnian lived here.

Rongzhen prepared to cook them all and go to the grocery store to buy fresh ones after lunch at the cafeteria.

Cook rice into porridge, make noodles into oil-mixed noodles, soak pickled turnips in water, cut into shreds and serve on a plate. It’s a simple meal.

After hearing her plan, Qin Fengnian took over: "Let me do it, you go to sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."

"It's too noisy. I can't sleep." Rongzhen wanted to sleep, but the noises from the neighbors on both sides were getting louder and louder. It would be very irritating if she couldn't sleep lying there. It would be better to move around and do something.

Qin Fengnian found the cotton ball he had used before and gave it to her. "Try this. I made it myself before and it worked pretty well."

When Rongzhen saw the two plump white cotton balls in her hands, she couldn't help but smile and her mood became much better.

After staying up all night and going through so many things, she really couldn't take it anymore. She plugged her ears with cotton balls, lay down on the bed, and blinked into sleep.

Qin Fengnian came over to take a look, covered her with a blanket, then turned around and went out with the small pot to wash the rice.

The cadre building is more spacious and brighter than the family building, and is kept clean and tidy. However, the layout is essentially not much different from the tube-shaped buildings. They all have unified kitchens and toilets, shared by several households on each floor. It's just not as crowded as the tube-shaped buildings in the family compound.

When Qin Fengnian appeared at the kitchen faucet, the three neighbors on the same floor immediately recognized him and asked him in surprise, "Didn't Xiao Qin go back to live in the courtyard? Why are you here? Did you have a fight with your wife?"

No matter who you are, wherever there are people, you can’t avoid gossip about family matters.

Qin Fengnian's sudden arrival made the neighbors curious and they were all speculating about what was going on.

Qin Fengnian took the water and started to wash, explaining casually: "No, there was a problem with the yard over there. My wife and I moved here for a few days and will go back after the house is repaired."

"Oh, what did I say? That yard has been there for many years. How can people live here if it is not renovated and rebuilt?" A neighbor grandma slapped her thigh in disgust.

The aunt next to her curled her lips and retorted: "Come on, it's like being wise after the event. Who was it that was so envious back then?"

"It wasn't me anyway." The neighbor grandma shamelessly denied it and changed the subject to continue talking to Qin Fengnian: "Xiao Qin, since your wife is here, where is she? How can a wife let her husband cook?"

Qin Fengnian said indifferently: "She is tired, I like cooking." So it's none of your business.

The neighbor's grandmother choked, and the aunt next to her sneered and continued to scold her: "They are a loving couple, it doesn't matter who does it. You old man are just worrying about it and can't stand seeing other people's well-being."

"I wonder if you're on a roll today? Why do you always pick on old ladies?"

"You still have the nerve to ask, who was it that instigated that unmarried old girl to get close to my man yesterday?"

The two of them were talking back and forth, arguing about past grudges and quarreling with each other. The neighbors were watching the fun, laughing and making fun of them, while their servants were still making breakfast. It was obvious that this happened frequently, and everyone was used to it, so no one took it seriously.

Qin Fengnian took the opportunity to escape, washed the rice and left quickly.

There is a stove in his house, which can be placed under the window to steam something without having to squeeze in the kitchen and be criticized.

When Rongzhen woke up from a deep sleep, the first thing she smelled was the fragrance of rice porridge, which was rich and warm, with the scent of a cozy home.

Qin Fengnian came over and touched her forehead, then asked softly, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Rongzhen groaned and her stomach growled, she was hungry.

Qin Fengnian smiled and picked the person up to wash.

Rongzhen didn't want to open her eyes. She hugged his neck and continued to sleep in a daze, until a new toothbrush was stuffed into her mouth and the coolness of the toothpaste made her completely awake.

"Aren't you tired?" Rongzhen felt jealous when she saw how energetic he was, not even having dark circles under his eyes after staying up late.

It’s not that Qin Fengnian isn’t tired, but he’s already used to it. It’s not uncommon for him to endure days and nights in the past. He knows his limits and how to adjust. Now it’s just a matter of enduring one night, which is no big deal.

Rong Zhen's jealousy turned to heartache. "Please don't do this again. It's so harmful to your health. The leaders have said that health is the capital of revolution. I also want you and I to live a long life and have a lot of children."

Qin Fengnian quickly combed her hair, hugged her and kissed her: "I don't expect you to live a hundred years, but I hope we can grow old together."

"Then you have to take better care of yourself and don't make me worry." Rongzhen tilted her head back and kissed him back, leaving him with foam all over his face.

Qin Fengnian was stunned and didn't react.

puff--

Rongzhen couldn't help laughing.

The couple played around for a while by the washstand, and then quickly finished eating before the meal got cold.

Not long after resting after dinner, Rong Zhen was urging Qin Fengnian to go to bed to catch up on his sleep when last night's action team leader came over with a leader.

Both of them came to visit in plain clothes, and they deliberately chose a time when there were fewer people having breakfast. Without Qin Fengnian saying much, Rong Zhen had already guessed their purpose.

As expected, as soon as they entered, the operations team leader pulled out two confidentiality agreements from his briefcase and said, "Please sign these. What happened last night must not be disclosed to anyone."

"Okay." Rong Zhen and Qin Fengnian did not hesitate at all. With their last experience at the Public Security Bureau, they signed without any pressure.

The leader nodded upon seeing this and was very satisfied with the two people's cooperative attitude.

In that case, he wouldn't mind giving them some convenience.

After the confidentiality agreement was signed and the captain had given all the necessary instructions, this kind and accommodating leader said to Qin Fengnian with a friendly expression, "Comrade Fengnian, this fishing operation has been a complete success. Thank you for risking your life as bait. Now we no longer need you to pretend to be married to confuse the enemy, so you two..."

At this point, Rong Zhen stood up and said, "What do you mean by pretending to be married? What do you mean by confusing the enemy?!"

So love at first sight is fake? ! !

Qin Fengnian knew that something was wrong and immediately stood up: "Listen to me, it's not what you think, Zhenzhen——"

Before Rongzhen could finish her anxious explanation, she suddenly fell down.
