Ning Zhiheng trailed far behind the two men. Once they reached the intersection of Liuyuan Street, he knew the agents in the black sedan would be paying close attention to them, so he decided to give up and stop there for a while before slowly walking out of the intersection. Sure enough, the black sedan was gone!
Seeing Ning Zhiheng come out, Sun Jiacheng quickly walked up to him and whispered, "Five minutes ago, two more people got out of that car and walked east with the first one! Then the car drove away!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Since it's a case from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, let's leave it alone and go back first."
Sun Jiacheng nodded. He always followed Ning Zhiheng's lead and never questioned the team leader's orders. The two hurriedly returned to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department!
Meanwhile, at Wu Ruyun's home, she also met with a familiar guest.
Wu Ruyun's residence was arranged by the underground party organization. Two months ago, Wu Ruyun's uncle, Wu Quanjiang, was suddenly exposed and was searched for everywhere by the agents of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, so he had to urgently evacuate Nanjing.
Wu Ruyun was also exposed to the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department. The traitor Zong Pu even told the enemy about Wu Ruyun's information. At that time, the situation was critical, and the underground party comrades could only take Wu Quanjiang's note and bring Wu Ruyun here.
Wu Ruyun only met Wu Quanjiang briefly before he urgently left Nanjing. The two agreed that Wu Quanjiang would come back to pick her up and reunite with her once he had settled down and found a job.
Two months passed, and Wu Ruyun lived a secluded life in this courtyard, with people occasionally bringing her daily necessities and taking care of her.
Wu Ruyun's parents were both veteran members of the Communist Party. When things took an unexpected turn, the couple were both killed, and Wu Ruyun was then taken care of by her uncle, Wu Quanjiang.
Having grown up in a brutal and competitive environment, Wu Ruyun naturally developed a cautious, calm, and quiet personality. She has excellent patience and never takes risks to do things she is not sure of.
But just yesterday, on her only trip out, she almost ran into trouble. She was arrested by agents from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and made to stand on the clothes rack for half a day.
She was terrified at the time, but fortunately she remained calm and composed, and managed to get through the ordeal without serious injury.
Even now, recalling that sharp, piercing gaze still sends a chill down her spine; she feels a lingering fear whenever she thinks about it!
She keenly sensed the extreme threat posed by the young man who exuded a bone-chilling coldness, reminding her to be extra careful and not make any more mistakes, or the consequences would be unimaginable!
The comrade who had been taking care of him said that his uncle, Wu Quanjiang, had been evacuated to Wuhan and settled there. He said that he could go to Wuhan to reunite with his uncle in a couple of days.
"Just two more days, and I can leave this dangerous city," Wu Ruyun told herself.
Around ten o'clock, there was a knock on the door, three long knocks and two short knocks. This was a specific knocking signal, indicating that one of our comrades had come to visit.
She quickly opened the courtyard gate, and a middle-aged man wearing a top hat entered. Wu Ruyun quickly closed the gate, and the two of them went inside and sat down.
"Uncle Zheng, is there something wrong today?" Wu Ruyun asked. This Uncle Zheng was the one who had taken her from school and brought her here urgently with the note from Wu Quanjiang.
However, he rarely appeared after that. The people who usually took care of her said that they rarely saw this Uncle Zheng, and that he must be a member of a highly secretive organization within the Party.
"Xiao Wu, here's your boat ticket. Tomorrow at noon, go to Pukou Wharf to take the boat to Wuhan to reunite with your uncle. We'll send someone to escort you!" Zheng Dayou said, handing a boat ticket to Wu Ruyun. "Don't go out today. Comrades will come to pick you up tomorrow. Just follow their arrangements!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ruyun was overjoyed. She took the boat ticket and said happily, "Great! I can finally breathe some fresh air. I've been so stifled in this courtyard!"
Although she has a quiet personality, she is still a young girl after all. Being confined in this small courtyard for two whole months is really quite depressing!
