Xia Deyan carefully counted the US dollars in the box, totaling $80,000, which was an absolute fortune for anyone.
He sighed softly, carefully putting the money away. It was too unsafe for him to keep this money; he had to hand it over to the organization as soon as possible.
The next day at noon, in a secluded basement in the south of the city, Fang Boyi, the leader of the Nanjing underground party organization, was sitting quietly facing Xia Deyan.
On the table sat the leather suitcase full of US dollars. Fang Boyi carefully examined the piece of paper in his hand. On the clean white paper were the same Song typeface, as sharp as iron strokes, and the extremely eye-catching signature "Shadow," written in a flowing, cloud-like style.
Fang Boyi gently placed the blank sheet of paper on the table, and couldn't help but sigh softly to Xia Deyan, saying, "In other words, you still haven't been able to contact Shadow this time. The Party organization urgently needs to reconnect with Shadow's organizational contacts, and you can't even convey this decision to him!"
Xia Deyan spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "I can't have face-to-face contact with him at all now. It seems that Shadow has decided to use this method for one-way communication from now on."
Actually, I think this method is quite good, at least it's safer. We've done some analysis; the fact that Shadow could obtain highly confidential intelligence from within the Kuomintang means his identity must be very sensitive, so it's understandable that he would use this one-way communication method.
After all, the fewer people in the organization who know his identity, the safer he is. Frankly, we ourselves cannot guarantee that there won't be traitors or fatal oversights within our party!
Just like the Wu Quanjiang incident this time, who would have thought that the very child Wu Quanjiang raised from childhood, whom he treated as his own son, would betray him? Life is unpredictable, and nothing is absolute! It's always good to be cautious, and there's some reason why he did what he did!
After hearing this, Fang Boyi remained silent for a long time before shaking his head helplessly and saying, "But if we can't contact him proactively, we can't find out his identity, and we can't more effectively arrange specific tasks for him based on his concealed identity. Just like now, we are too passive!"
Xia Deyan was also very conflicted and couldn't help but say with some emotion, "To be honest, I regret it very much now. Why didn't I insist on keeping Comrade Lu Ming here and do my best to stop him from making contact? That was an extremely dangerous and risky operation!"
In retrospect, the losses are incalculable. Not only did we lose such a seasoned veteran, but we also lost contact with Shadow. If he had told me Shadow's identity first, we wouldn't be in this predicament!
"Forget it!" Fang Boyi waved his hand to interrupt him, and said with some emotion, "Shadow has his own considerations, and we should be understanding! After all, in terms of safety, what he did was more appropriate! I think he will provide us with the necessary help at a more suitable time."
Furthermore, his loyalty to his beliefs is beyond question, as evidenced by his actions in the Wu Quanjiang incident!
Now such a huge sum of money has arrived. Do you know what this $80,000 means to us? It means we can purchase more and better supplies, medicines, radios, food, weapons, and so on that the organization needs.
This $80,000 is enough to equip a formidable fighting force with the finest weaponry and state-of-the-art military radios. Soldiers will have access to more abundant medical supplies and receive timely treatment. It will also greatly improve our combat environment; its impact is truly enormous!
Shadow's contribution is sufficient proof of his loyalty to the Party and his own beliefs.
Old Xia, now you understand the importance of your position! You are the only link between the Party organization and the shadow party. Like I said before, your primary task is to be this link!
Once something happens to you, your shadow will never return. That's why you must be extremely careful for your safety; staying at your post is the greatest contribution you can make to the Party!
After listening to Fang Boyi's words, Xia Deyan nodded and solemnly said, "Old Fang, don't worry, I understand my role and the importance of me as a link. I will do my best to help the organization reconnect with Shadow!"
Two more days passed, and everything was calm. Cheng Xingye of Puzheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic opened for business as usual.
Cheng Xingye has been in a relatively good mood lately, as his work has been progressing smoothly since he took over the pharmaceutical sector.
The main reason is that his predecessor preserved the entire pharmaceutical transportation network for him, and all operations are being restored and running smoothly.
Regarding the transportation of medicines, he promptly took new measures. He arranged for his assistant, Zhu Hongbo, to spend a large sum of money to persuade Wan Huarong, the owner of Hengfeng Trading Company, to cooperate.
He successfully smuggled a batch of medicines out of Nanjing by concealing them among other goods. However, he was still not satisfied with this.
The only loophole in this drug transportation line was Wan Huarong. He wasn't a member of the underground Communist Party; he was merely a profit-driven businessman. His inclusion in the drug transportation network was purely a stopgap measure.
He could become a ticking time bomb on the entire pharmaceutical transportation front at any moment, threatening his comrades along the entire transportation front at any time.
Cheng Xingye has always been deeply concerned about this, and in the long run, he must establish a more stable transportation line!
Around nine o'clock, his assistant Zhu Hongbo arrived. Zhu Hongbo was the most important assistant to the previous head of Kuquan, Wu Quanjiang. He was shrewd and capable, with extremely strong work ability. He was responsible for many tasks that Kuquan couldn't handle personally, and his position on the pharmaceutical front was very important.
