Chapter 58 Damn, it’s broken at this time
58
Lu Zhanheng became anxious when he heard this. This was a major matter involving the leakage of state secrets. At this moment, he no longer cared about his current identity.
Lu Zhanheng took Tang Yue's hand and turned to leave, but after he took a step, the little person behind him did not catch up at all.
He turned around and looked at Tang Yue in confusion. Tang Yue stood there motionless. Lu Zhanheng was very anxious, but he already had some idea that this little girl might not be as harmless as she appeared.
He forced himself to suppress the urgency in his heart and explained, "Little girl, this matter is really important. That telegraph machine can transmit our country's secrets abroad. If that happens, our country will suffer great losses or casualties.
Little girl, this is really no small matter, let's go over and stop it."
"Can you get out of this car?"
Tang Yue raised her head and stared at Lu Zhanheng with her innocent big eyes. The expression on Lu Zhanheng's face froze for a moment, and then he seemed to have made some decision.
"Little girl, now is not the time to worry about those things. Don't worry about my problems. Let's go over there quickly."
Tang Yue remained motionless, but in her heart, she recognized Lu Zhanheng all over again. She was a little confused. Those people had treated them so badly, and they seemed to have been abandoned by them, yet they still remained unwavering in their commitment to their country.
Tang Yue was somewhat moved, but only slightly moved. What she did had nothing to do with any particular country; she simply wanted her family to live safely and happily.
But now seeing Lu Zhanheng's persistence, her heart was slightly touched.
"Uncle, go back if you believe me."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the middle carriage of the train.
Lu Zhanheng stood there with a conflicted look on his face. He thanked the little girl for thinking of him, but when it came to national interests, why should he fear his own personal survival?
On the other hand, if this little girl could discover such a secret thing, even an adult like him might not be able to discover it. Maybe he is really not as good as this little girl.
But he was an adult and had sat in that position before. Lu Zhanheng gritted his teeth and started to catch up with Tang Yue.
A nonchalant voice came from behind.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
A young man who was in charge of guarding them came over and looked around. After not seeing anyone suspicious, he looked at Lu Zhanheng with suspicion.
"Are you meeting someone? You're such a traitor, Lu Zhanheng! It turns out you're a traitor who sells out your country for personal gain."
Lu Zhanheng's face was stern. "Don't spit blood at me. My legs just hurt from sitting, so I wanted to stand up and relax them. The toilet over there was inconvenient, so I took two more steps."
"You still dare to quibble."
"The Red Army has to rely on evidence to arrest people. There's no one here. Should I be wrongly accused just for stretching my legs?"
Lu Zhanheng was anxious, but he knew he couldn't leave now. These people were completely indiscriminate, especially since they had sat across from Tang Yue and the others the last time they were in the car. Who knew what they would come up with?
They are already like this, and it doesn't matter what happens, but they can't implicate the little girl's family.
The young man had seen Lu Zhanheng before, and he felt a little guilty at this moment because of his cold response, especially since he was alone here. He was really afraid that Lu Zhanheng would do something if he got angry.
He couldn't withstand Lu Zhanheng's skills. If he wasn't dealt with right now, he probably didn't have any accomplices.
"Go back quickly. If you don't want to sit anymore, you'll have to stand starting tomorrow. I've spoiled you."
Lu Zhanheng didn't even dare to look at the direction Tang Yue left, and walked straight back to his seat.
There was quite a bit of commotion here, and Lu Zhanheng and his group, who had been afraid to sleep soundly, were all awake now. Only one or two of the young people were awake, and since it sounded like nothing serious, they were too lazy to get up.
Others are indifferent and keep a distance from it.
When Tang Yue left, she found that the person in the back toilet had already discovered that the machine had malfunctioned and was preparing to open the black box to check the problem.
She didn't waste any more time and had already found the train police in her mind. She was too young and anything she did would easily arouse suspicion. It would be safest to just ask the police to handle it.
When she arrived at a small room in the middle of carriage eight, she knocked gently on the door, and the two police officers who were resting with their eyes closed opened their eyes.
A young policeman was leaning against the door. He reached out to open the door and saw a little girl standing outside. He looked behind her and didn't see any adult, so he turned his butt to face Tang Yue.
"Little girl, can't you find your seat? Who did you get on the bus with?"
The old policeman behind him had the same idea as the young policeman, so he didn't look worried. It seemed that such things must happen frequently on trains.
Tang Yue squeezed her small body into the small lounge where the two of them were staying.
The young policeman was a little surprised that the child was not shy at all.
Tang Yue felt the older police officer should be more experienced. She squeezed in front of him and asked, "Uncle Police Officer, there's a black box that makes a beeping sound when you press a small handle on it. What does that do?"
The two police officers were very alert and sensed something unusual when they heard Tang Yue's words, but they didn't show it on their faces.
"Little girl, what's your name? Where did you hear it from?"
Tang Yue's face was full of innocence. "My name is Tang Yue. The voice is from the toilet at the back of the last carriage."
"I couldn't sleep so I walked around the car. When I got to the back, I saw a man carrying a black box to the toilet. Then I saw him pressing the handle through the crack in the door."
The two police officers exchanged glances, each seeing something unusual in the other's eyes. The old police officer smiled at Tang Yue and said, "Well, little Tang Yue is really great. The uncles know about this."
Do you still know which car you are in? Go back first. Your family will be worried if they can’t find you later.”
Tang Yue shook her head. "Uncle, is that uncle a bad guy? Why would he go to the bathroom to play with that black box? Wouldn't it be fine if he just played on the seat?"
The old policeman was amazed at how perceptive Tang Yue was at such a young age. "Well, uncle doesn't know if he's a bad guy, so uncle wants to go over and take a look. Can you go back first?"
"Let me take my uncle there. I know where he is."
"no."
The young police officer sternly refused, his face full of seriousness.
Tang Yue didn't want to pay attention, so she listened to the old policeman say, "Little girl, uncle is right. If the people there are bad guys, it will be dangerous. You'd better stay away from them."
If it was really as the little girl said, then the matter was urgent and they didn't have time to say anything more to her. A few minutes later, some national information might have been leaked.
The two of them had already stood up and walked out of the small cubicle, heading straight to the toilet in the last carriage.
Gu Yanxi was hiding in the cramped toilet, having almost finished sending the telegram. A few more taps would complete the report. But at the crucial moment, the handle wouldn't go down.
After trying several times without success, Gu Yanxi became anxious. This was the bathroom, and there was no telling when someone might knock on the door. He had to hurry, but the handle broke at this moment.
Gu Yanxi tried again a few times, but no matter which direction he pressed, there was no movement. Gu Yanxi felt a little discouraged.
However, the content of the telegram was almost complete. Based on his years of intelligence experience, even if the last few characters were not sent, the other side would know that something might have happened if they received an incomplete message.
Afterwards, they would try to complete the telegram themselves, and the final supplement would be marked in other ways and wait for the leader's confirmation.
Thinking this way, Gu Yanxi was ready to send it directly. But when he pressed the send button, he was surprised to find that the send button did not work. Gu Yanxi was really anxious now.
The message was urgent and important. When he got the message, the train was about to depart. He didn't have time to complete it outside the station, so he had to find a way to deliver the message on the train. But unexpectedly, the machine broke down at this moment.
Gu Yanxi had no other choice but to dismantle the black box with his bare hands, trying to figure out what was wrong with it. He secretly sighed that his previous work had been in vain.
Just as Gu Yanxi took apart the outer shell of the machine to check the internal structure, there was a knock on the door outside the toilet.
