The contact information was from several years ago, so its security was not guaranteed at all. He didn't know anything about the other party. He didn't understand why Lao Lu was so stubborn. This was not the behavior of a qualified underground worker.
Perhaps because so many of his comrades had sacrificed their lives, Lao Lu cherished every surviving partner. The joy of those two successful reconnaissances made Lao Lu neglect his own safety.
Sigh! This old Lu has been a Party member for so many years. Although he has a wealth of work experience, his personality flaws are hard to change. He is not cautious enough, and especially stubborn. If this continues, he will run into trouble sooner or later!
He was really worried about Lu Ming's safety. The two had been comrades-in-arms for many years and were like brothers. He really didn't want to hear any accident about Lu Ming!
Four days have passed since Lu Ming tried to contact the old comrade he had lost contact with, but he still hasn't been able to reach him. This is a very unusual situation!
That shouldn't be the case! If the contact was successful, at the very least Lu Ming should have come back to inform him so that the organization could arrange for someone to investigate and verify the identity of the elderly comrade who had been brought back into contact. This is a necessary procedure!
But today is the fourth day, and we should definitely send the message back by now.
Could it be? No, it can't be! Lao Lu has a wealth of experience in struggle. Over the years, he has weathered all kinds of hardships and storms. He told himself in his heart that this time would be the same, and Lao Lu would return safely!
He was restless in his room, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his anxiety growing. He resisted the urge to go to Lu Ming's workplace to inquire about the situation.
He knew that if something really happened to Lu Ming, the Kuomintang's intelligence department would definitely investigate him. If he rashly showed up to inquire about information and was exposed to the enemy's sight, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Although it's better to stay still than to act rashly, he was unwilling to just passively wait by doing nothing.
What should I do now? No, if there's still no news by tomorrow, I have to report to the organization and ask them to find out the situation through other channels.
Once Ning Zhiheng confirmed the farmer's identity, he got up, surveyed the location and surrounding environment of Qing Shi Tea House, and then quickly left without lingering.
Ning Zhiheng did not intend to directly find the farmer and hand him the news of Lu Ming's death and the wooden box he left behind, because he could not gain the farmer's trust at all.
The farmer was the only way for him to join the underground party organization, but he had never been in contact with the underground party organization before, and the farmer had no idea of his existence. How to gain the farmer's trust was a huge problem.
At this time, the underground party organization had experienced the White Terror period and learned from the bloody lessons of the past, so it was extremely strict in its internal management.
His own identity was even more special; he was a member of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, the largest intelligence organization of the Kuomintang. With such an opposing identity, joining the underground Communist Party would be extremely difficult, and he would definitely be subjected to a rigorous and detailed investigation. He simply could not explain any of this.
Lu Ming was a seasoned underground party member, an experienced veteran party member. How could he possibly reveal all the party secrets and personal secrets to a Kuomintang agent on their very first meeting?
Therefore, this explanation doesn't make sense. But to tell the underground party members that the memories were obtained from Lu Ming's mind would be even more absurd.
So no matter how I explained it, it couldn't withstand investigation and verification, and in the end, there was no solution; I couldn't gain the organization's trust.
Ning Zhiheng had no choice but to temporarily put aside his eagerness to join the organization and instead inform the organization of Lu Ming's sacrifice so that they wouldn't be worried and could organize a response plan.
