Startled, Zhu Fanfan quickly shook her cousin back to block him, and then hurriedly finished cooking.
After they finished eating, Zhu Zixi cleaned up the house while his wife and sister went to digest their food. This is the helplessness of a married man.
Time passed slowly but surely. Zhu Fanfan's team had also passed the adjustment period and received a mission to capture a spy in Lin City. Many people had failed in this mission. Intelligence confirmed that the spy was in Lin City, but he always managed to escape at the last moment. The spy's code name was Sakura, and his gender was uncertain. He was quite arrogant.
Because it was uncertain whether the other party had accomplices, Zhu Fanfan's entire team was transferred out. Before leaving, Zhu Jiabao said a few words to Zhu Fanfan: "Grandpa has absolute faith in your abilities, but sending more than a dozen of you out with just one spy is giving him too much credit. Search carefully there and see if you've missed anything. Catch them all. Good luck!"
Zhu Fanfan's eye roll was a parting gift for him. She knew this old man was full of bad intentions. According to the information, Yinghua came and went without a trace, and was very likely an invisible superhuman. She went there to train new people. She only cared about the overall situation and commanded. She even asked him to capture more people. Did she think that her previous trip across the country was a joke? As long as she passed by there, no spy could escape.
She had no recollection of Lin City and didn't even know if she had ever been there before. A group of people dressed in casual clothes took the train and encountered a conman who trafficked women on the train. Well... because she kicked him so hard that she broke his testicles, it was quite unexpected.
There are just too many oddballs on the train. They encountered a brat who begged for food from them while they were eating. Lan Pan grabbed his mother by the neck, lifted her up, and shook her a couple of times before she shut up. The mother didn't dare to be sarcastic anymore, and everything became harmonious.
They also encountered an old lady who tried to take their snacks without asking. She set a mousetrap and got her hand caught. When she tried to cause a scene, the old lady held a knife to her neck and quieted down. She even reported it to the flight attendant. The flight attendant wanted to say something but couldn't find the knife, so she gave up and just warned the old lady that she would also go to jail for making false accusations here. She was completely silenced. Then they arrived in Lin City peacefully.
After leaving the station, they looked for a guesthouse and found one quickly. They booked the dormitory-style rooms for easy communication. Lan Pan asked, "Shouldn't we have contacted the local police station first?"
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Is this how you used to catch spies?"
Lan Pan said, "When we come to a new place, we are unfamiliar with the people and the local dialect, so we usually seek help from the local police."
Zhu Fanfan said, "Do you know that this mission has a time limit? My old scoundrel grandfather guaranteed us that we could catch Sakura within a month. He privately told me that I should catch all the spies here. With the assistance of the police, are you confident that you can do it within a month?"
Ning Jingyun stated truthfully: "When I came here, my grandfather told me that Sakura, this spy, has been lurking for many years and is very likely to have been there before the founding of the People's Republic of China. He is probably around forty years old and more likely to be a man. There are too many people in this city who meet the criteria. Squad leader, I think we need to rely on intelligence from the Public Security Bureau to find him."
Zhu Fanfan asked, "You think you're so smart? You think no one thought of this method before? Did they find out who it was?"
The group fell silent. Lan Pan said confidently, "That's because they haven't run into us yet. As long as we search carefully, we'll definitely find a clue."
Zhu Fanfan gave a forced smile: "Do you know we're from out of town, and this is their territory? Do you know we won't be targeted if we come in a group? Do you believe that Sakura already knows we're coming and they've already taken precautions? Do you believe that the police will be looking for us in no time, given what our letter of introduction says?"
The group fell silent. With introduction letters being so strictly enforced now, the contents of their letter were utterly untenable and riddled with loopholes. If someone reported them to the police after they arrived, they would indeed come over soon. They had military passes, but their squad leader wouldn't allow them to use them.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Put your things away properly, and keep the important things with you. We'll be staying here for a month, so keep an eye on things. I'll take out the data for you to analyze in a bit."
Lan Pan asked, "What about you, class monitor?"
Zhu Fanfan picked up her suitcase and walked out with a flourish: "I have a single room. If you also want a single room, you'll have to pay for it yourself. Travel expenses won't be reimbursed. However, I suggest you don't. If you stay together and someone tries to break in, you'll have each other to help."
Lan Pan said worriedly, "Squad leader, we're worried about you being alone. Why don't you save some money and stay with us? I think there's still room here."
Zhu Fanfan waved her hand and left. Ning Jingyun said, "You know that the class monitor was specially recruited, and you should also know that she used to catch spies all by herself."
Lan Pan asked curiously, "Did the squad leader also keep to himself when he was in the military compound?"
Ning Jingyun said, "I wasn't familiar with the squad leader at all before, but she was always the model of other people's children. My grandfather said that none of the children in the whole compound could compare to the Zhu family's New Year picture dolls. I heard that the squad leader used to study medicine and was the last disciple of the director of the military general hospital. Although we were all in the same compound, I had hardly ever seen her. Later, I heard that after the death of Deputy Director Liu, she gave up medicine and joined the army. I don't know the specifics, but I heard my grandfather say that it was a pity."
It was more than just a pity. Even though they hadn't exchanged many words, she was heartbroken when her squad leader abandoned medicine to join the army, as if she herself was about to die. She was puzzled for a long time. Later, she heard from her father that the squad leader was also good at dispensing medicine, and the medicine he dispensed was very effective. Many high-ranking leaders had used the medicine he dispensed, and later he never touched medicine again. She didn't know what the real situation was, and her family wouldn't let her ask.
Especially after hearing that she was assigned to the squad leader's command, he only said "good luck" and "if you can't hold on, then you can leave the army," even though he had previously taught her to endure hardship and be a strong soldier.
Lan Pan exclaimed in admiration, "Our class monitor even knows medicine?"
Ning Jingyun quickly stopped her: "Don't talk about anything related to medical skills in front of the class monitor. My grandfather said that since Vice President Liu died, everyone is forbidden from mentioning medical skills in front of the Zhu family. The whole compound has been instructed to do so. Someone mentioned it in front of the class monitor, and then Chief Zhu came to their door. That kid was beaten and screamed. After that, no one was allowed to spread it."
While they were having a lively conversation, Zhu Fanfan returned to her room. She felt it was better to be alone in her room if she had a secret. Because of her strong mental power, she quickly arranged everything.
She took out the information and studied it carefully. Although her grandfather and she had already discussed it, she still felt there were loopholes. In this era of nationwide detectives, what identity did Sakura have in hiding? How was she able to keep sending messages to the Japanese pirates and how did she manage to escape so quickly after being discovered?
I was looking at some documents when I heard a lot of footsteps coming from below. It was obvious that quite a few people were approaching.
