"Not yet. The one in Linghai City has been completed."

Does this mean that this matter has not been handled yet? Song Zhi did not ask any more questions. After all, it is better not to ask about such confidential matters.

Gu Huaijin watched her fiddling with the planks and sticks, feeling apprehensive, fearing she might accidentally scratch her hands. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you planning to do with all this?"

"I want to make a storage rack and a shoe rack to kill time when I'm free." Song Zhi brushed the dust off his hands and went to the water tank to wash his hands.

"What should we do? I'll do it." Gu Huaijin said.

"No need, just leave it there! I'll make it when I have time. How about some noodles? I'll make some for you." Song Zhi wiped the water droplets on his hands and walked towards the kitchen, not forgetting to ask him on the way.

"All is fine." Gu Huaijin watched her busying herself in the kitchen, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Huaijin picked up the broom from the eaves, put the wooden boards and sticks away, and then cleaned up the debris on the ground. These wood debris could also be used as firewood when cooking, so he put it next to the coal stove.

Song Zhi was picking vegetables in the kitchen. When he saw him come in, he signaled him with his eyes, "There are some fried cakes on the shelf that I made at noon. Please eat them first."

Gu Huaijin was indeed very hungry after such a long train ride. He did not refuse and went over to get a piece of bread.

Song Zhi said directly, "There's soybean paste and peanut butter on the side. Put some in. It's delicious."

Gu Huaijin took out the bottle as she said and put some peanut butter on the soy sauce pancake.

He ate quickly but not rudely. Even though he was very hungry, he did not wolf down his food. He sat on a kitchen stool that was very low, making his tall body curl up. The scene was inexplicably funny.

Song Zhi brought the steaming hot meal to Gu Huaijin and told him, "It's a little hot, eat it later."

Gu Huaijin took the meal and asked, "Has anything happened in the family compound recently?" Gu Huaijin was in a hurry to rush back and had not had time to go to the army to find out the situation.

Song Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay! Everything is normal in the family compound. But I don't go out often, so there may be some things I don't know." She sat down and recalled with a thoughtful look.

"Please keep an eye on the female comrades in our army these days to see if they have any abnormal behavior." Gu Huaijin's tone revealed an unusual seriousness.

Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat. "Could there be enemy spies?" She immediately thought of the possible danger and felt a little uneasy. Is it so dangerous?

Gu Huaijin nodded, a serious look on his face. "Recent intelligence indicates that enemy agents may have infiltrated our troops. I'll go to the troops and discuss this with the others later. The fewer people who know about this, the better. You can just ask around privately."

"I'll pay attention." Song Zhi said, "But how do we find these enemy spies? They won't reveal their identities easily."

Gu Huaijin sighed deeply, then reiterated, "This is indeed a problem. The most important thing now is to be vigilant. I already have a way to lure him out. Pay attention to any unusual circumstances. I just want you to keep an eye on it, but don't go inquiring. It could be dangerous."

Song Zhi nodded, "I understand. I'll tell you if you have any questions. Come and eat!"

Time passed quickly, and in a flash, a few days had passed. The family compound remained peaceful, with no signs of anything unusual.

"Could it be that we guessed wrong? It must be in the surrounding villages." Qin Wei sighed while sitting on the stool. He had not gained anything in the past few days, and he was beginning to suspect that they were going in the wrong direction.

"No." Gu Huaijin was very sure. He had fought against this group of enemy spies once before a few years ago, and he knew them.

"But didn't Tan Zhuang already spread the news that he was going to contact them? Could it be that the news leaked out?" Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Wei's mind, and he asked uncertainly.

"Wait a little longer. Pay special attention to the students and teachers in the staff quarters." Gu Huaijin pondered for a moment and said decisively.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and wait a little longer."

Sure enough, news came the next evening that the contact person contacted Tan Zhuang.

Qin Wei's tense mood for many days relaxed at this moment.

"Be prepared according to the meeting point and time that Tan Zhuang said." Gu Huaijin instructed Zhao Shitou. All of them who were in the action did not know what they were going to do this time, so they just remained silent and obeyed the arrangements of their superiors.

Following Gu Huaijin's request, Zhao Shitou arranged for more than a dozen people to wait at the meeting point. They carefully planned and arranged, hoping to arrest the three men in one fell swoop.

The sky gradually darkened and time seemed to stretch endlessly, but they still waited patiently.

Finally, they spotted the three targets. They only needed Zhao Shitou's command to launch their attack. However, at that moment, one of them seemed to notice something was amiss and suddenly turned to look toward their hiding place. Faced with this unexpected situation, she immediately covered her face and shouted to her companions, "Oh no! There's an ambush! Run!" However, it was too late.

Zhao Shitou and his comrades sensed the gravity of the situation and sprang into action. They seized their last opportunity, attempting to capture them as quickly as possible. After a fierce struggle, the other two were captured alive. Zhao Shitou was surprised to discover that the enemy spy he was engaging was actually the deputy regimental commander's wife!

This unexpected fact made him fall into a brief period of contemplation and hesitation. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Miaomiao escaped. Zhao Shitou looked at the fleeing Zhou Miaomiao with mixed emotions in his heart.

But he didn't have time to think too much in this situation. He asked others to take the two captured people back, and he hurried to the military office to report to Gu Huaijin.

"Notify the guards at the family compound that no unusual personnel are allowed to enter. Additional personnel will be posted at each entrance. The deputy commander is prohibited from going out." Gu Huaijin arranged the work calmly, but his hurried pace revealed his inner anxiety.

Song Zhi was doing handicrafts at home when he heard a cry for help from next door. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly put down the work in his hands and walked quickly to Aunt Zhao's house.

The scene in front of her made her blood boil. Dongdong was held hostage by Zhou Miaomiao in the yard with a knife on his neck.

Dongdong's breathless crying voice reached his ears, "Mrs. Zhou, I'm Dongdong!"

Other family members rushed over after hearing the noise. Qian Jiali was so frightened by the scene that she screamed, which was extremely piercing in the silent night.

"Shut up." Song Zhi scolded her in a low voice when he saw her like this.

Qian Jiali realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Zhao Yun was lying on the ground, completely dazed. Song Zhixian walked over to her and helped her up.

"Aunt, you are the pillar of the family. Now is not the time to panic." Song Zhi pressed Zhao Yun's arm and reminded her in a stern tone that Captain Qin and Gu Huaijin were on duty today, and the only one who could take care of things at the moment was Aunt Zhao.
