“I’ve heard about the situation from Dayou. The situation was extremely critical. I must remind you that Nanjing, as the capital of the Republic of China, is a city where the enemy’s forces are very powerful and have a very strong grip. If we want to survive and thrive here, we cannot afford to be complacent in the slightest, or the consequences will be severe,” Fang Boyi said.
"Yes, they gave me a real shock as soon as I entered the city. Even a small police chief in Nanjing has a very sharp eye!" Cheng Xingye said with emotion.
Then he continued jokingly, "But thanks to you, the young man who was in charge turned out to be an acquaintance of yours. Out of respect for you, he let us go with just a word. You must have quite a bit of influence with the enemy!"
Fang Boyi laughed when he heard this. He had heard the whole story from Zheng Dayou and was secretly relieved.
A few days ago, that young man with a military bearing happened to be in charge of the large-scale search operation. With just a few simple words, he managed to save the two of them from danger and allow them to pass safely. It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck!
“That young man has a military bearing. He’s probably not a policeman! He’s a soldier!” Fang Boyi said.
“Yes, I noticed that too. The police officers on the scene were being directed by people dressed in plainclothes Zhongshan suits, and the young man you mentioned is their leader. This person's identity must be extraordinary. Those people dressed in plainclothes Zhongshan suits are well-mannered and disciplined; they are definitely not ordinary civilians. They must all be soldiers,” Cheng Xingye said. His eyesight was sharp, and he could clearly see the difference between the action team members and the police.
"You're saying all this because you have something in mind, right?" Fang Boyi said with a smile.
“Yes, I think this young man must be a member of the enemy’s special department. Could we try to recruit him?” Cheng Xingye said.
"No way!" Fang Boyi said decisively. "Old Cheng, your task is to be in charge of the pharmaceutical front. That's the most important thing. As for developing members and turning the enemy against you, that's not your job! I don't agree!"
"Yes, I was too rash!" Cheng Xingye only had this idea, and seeing that Fang Boyi disagreed, he naturally wouldn't insist on his own idea anymore.
"Old Cheng, let's not talk about that anymore. Now I'll give you some specific work arrangements!" Fang Boyi waved his hand. "You're a master of traditional Chinese medicine. We plan to open a TCM clinic in the south of the city, and you'll use your position as the resident doctor as a cover."
"No problem, this is my old profession, I'll play myself and won't give anything away!" Cheng Xingye said happily. The organization had thought of everything. This identity was tailor-made for him and was very suitable!
Fang Boyi continued, "The situation was extremely critical at the time. Comrade Kuquan's evacuation was very hasty. Now, a batch of wound medicine that we have stockpiled urgently needs to be transported to the Northwest front, as it concerns the lives of thousands of soldiers! However, because of Comrade Kuquan's exposure, his original transport line is no longer safe. Your current task is to establish a safe transport line again and transport this batch of medicine out in a timely manner!"
"Weren't our own comrades in charge of the previous transport lines?" Cheng Xingye asked, knowing the task was arduous, after hearing Fang Boyi's words.
“There was a link in the previous transportation line that required connections with a police chief to get things done. But because of Comrade Kuquan’s exposure, this police chief, who was very close to him, is now under investigation by the Party Affairs Investigation Department. We can no longer use him!” Fang Boyi explained.
"Understood, I will do everything in my power to complete the mission," Cheng Xingye nodded and said.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news. If you encounter any difficulties, let me know immediately, and we'll provide full support! By the way, as for your codename, for the sake of smoother workflow, my idea is to have you take over Comrade Kuquan's codename. What are your thoughts?"
"Okay, I have no objection, let's call it Bitter Spring!" Cheng Xingye nodded in agreement!
"Alright, Comrade Kuquan, welcome!" Fang Boyi laughed heartily and extended both hands to shake hands firmly with Cheng Xingye!
