As Luo Yuze and Fu Shengyuan were excitedly discussing something, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Fu Shengyuan said.
The door opened, and a woman entered. She appeared to be in her thirties, and although she was dressed simply in a blouse, her slender figure and beautiful face were undeniable.
She carried a tray with several delicate pastries and two cups of coffee. She approached the two of them and said with a smile, "You two never stop chatting. Here's some late-night snack for you to have a bite before you continue!"
Luo Yuze couldn't help but laugh, clutching his stomach as he said, "My sister-in-law really cares about me! She knows my stomach has been growling for ages!"
It turned out that this woman was Ding Mingzhen, Fu Shengyuan's wife. She joined the Lixingshe early on and worked in telecommunications. She was much younger than Fu Shengyuan, but she married him after he pursued her repeatedly. However, with an older husband and a younger wife, he was inevitably a little insecure, so everyone had heard of Fu Shengyuan's reputation for being afraid of his wife.
When Fu Shengyuan saw his wife, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly put away the drawings on the table, made room for Ding Mingzhen to put down the tray, and said gently, "It's so late, you should go and rest. We'll be talking until very late, so don't wait for me!"
Ding Mingzhen was also a veteran intelligence officer. At present, the Qingdao station was in decline, and she was still serving as the head of the telecommunications department and the head of the general affairs department in charge of the property. She naturally knew what they were discussing and knew that this matter was of great importance. She didn't say anything more, nodded, gave Fu Shengyuan a few instructions, and then gestured to Luo Yuze before turning around and leaving, closing the door tightly from the outside.
As Luo Yuze watched Ding Mingzhen leave, he couldn't help but say to Fu Shengyuan with envy, "Old Fu, you're so lucky! Your wife is gentle and virtuous, and you two are a perfect match. Everyone envies you!"
Fu Shengyuan smiled with considerable pride. Back in the Lixing Society, so many men had pursued the young and beautiful Ding Mingzhen, but he was the one who ended up marrying her. This was one of the proudest things in his life. Hearing Fu Shengyuan's praise, Ding Mingzhen couldn't help but sigh and say, "Yes, it's a pity that she didn't get to enjoy a few years of happiness with this old man like me. Now she has to live in constant fear, fighting the Japanese for the past few years, and almost losing several times. Alas! It's really unfair to her!"
Fu Shengyuan cherishes his wife very much. After all, they are a couple who have been through thick and thin together for many years.
The two enjoyed their snacks and coffee while chatting. Before long, there was another knock on the door.
This time, however, it was Li Quan, the intelligence chief of Qingdao Station. He rushed over and reported urgently, "In just one hour, two groups of people went to the coal yard and Xiao Guoyuan's residence to arrest him. It was a big operation. Now, even the people at the coal yard have been detained."
Luo Yuze and Fu Shengyuan both felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this. They exchanged a glance, realizing that Wang Hanmin was indeed after Xiao Guoyuan.
After sending Xiao Guoyuan and Geng Ziping away, Luo Yuze and the others naturally wanted to find out more about which of the two was the problem. So they sent people to monitor the two men's residences and workplaces, and today they found out.
Luo Yuze nodded and said, "As expected, it was Xiao Guoyuan. He was the most likely candidate from the start, but now it seems that Wang Hanmin came to arrest him, not to make a secret meeting. This means that Xiao Guoyuan himself was unaware of the situation. Fortunately, we received the news in advance, otherwise we would have all been taken down!"
Fu Shengyuan was also terrified. He said with lingering fear, "Wang Hanmin is too dangerous. He almost succeeded. We must be extra careful in our future actions."
Luo Yuze nodded repeatedly, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Fu Shengyuan, saying, "Old Fu, did you and your wife meet Wang Hanmin back then?"
Fu Shengyuan was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, we should have met a few times, but we're not in the same department and we don't usually interact. So many years have passed, and my appearance has changed quite a bit, so I don't think he would recognize me!"
As for his wife, Ding Mingzhen, Fu Shengyuan wasn't worried. She rarely went out for work, so there was nothing to worry about.
Luo Yuze thought for a moment and then carefully instructed, "Better safe than sorry, Lao Fu. From now on, you don't need to do anything. Don't go out for the next few days. I will arrange all the work from now on."
Fu Shengyuan knew the seriousness of the matter. This was a critical moment, and there could be no mistakes. If the operation failed because of his own error, he would be beyond redemption.
Moreover, Luo Yuze held a higher position than him, and he was merely Luo Yuze's deputy. Military orders were absolute, and he dared not disobey, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Luo Yuze then said to Li Quan, "These days, your undercover personnel at Qingdao Station should minimize their outings and avoid any rash actions. Success is imminent, and we must not make any mistakes before the operation!"
Luo Yuze's tone was stern, and Li Quan quickly nodded and replied, "Yes! Please rest assured, I will arrange it."
Several days passed quickly, and at 1 p.m. on January 20th, Ning Zhiheng led a group of people to the Shanghai military airport, where they met up with Yingzuo Yushu and other intelligence officers from the Yingzuo Agency. After exchanging pleasantries, they each boarded their own private planes.
The passenger plane gradually accelerated along the airport runway, getting faster and faster, until finally, with a roar, it soared into the blue sky.
After the initial turbulence, the plane gradually stabilized. Ning Zhiheng sat by the window and looked down. The clear blue sea and the blue sky complemented each other perfectly, and the world above and below was all blue.
Matsudaira Hidemi, standing to the side, was also excitedly looking at the scenery outside the window, sighing from time to time, and even taking out the camera he used for interviews and taking pictures through the window.
