A month later.

Nanjing, Ji'e Lane.

At half past six o'clock in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, in the corridor on the second floor of the blue-gray western-style building, there was the sound of footsteps at precise intervals like clocks, accompanied by the sound of the door being opened, a meticulous middle-aged man with a comb on his back walked into the office, he walked into the door, tore off a month sign on the wall that read "January 4, 1935, the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China", and then turned on the electric light.

As the lights turned on, there was a faint audible noise from the whole small building, and everyone knew that the lights were turned on meant that the secret service of the Fuxing Society, which was becoming larger and more complex, had begun its operation day after day again.

"Bang", the curtains of the office were opened, the dazzling sunlight splashed in front of the window, and the forehead of Dai Jiangshan's hairline was shining brightly.

On the desk is a breakfast that the secretary has just prepared: a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup and three chicken soup dumplings.

Dai Jiangshan sat down, lowered his head to eat, and while eating, he reached out and pressed the electric bell next to the table.

The door was pushed open, and the secretary, Tang Zong, walked in, stood at his desk, took out the folder under his elbow, and began to read the daily newsletter aloud:

"In the early hours of yesterday morning, the red bandits forcibly crossed the Wujiang River again, and the destination is unknown......"

"The League of Nations was ambiguous about the Italian invasion of Albania......."

"The military friction between the Kwantung Army and the Song Zheyuan Department of Chahar Province is becoming increasingly fierce........"

.........

Most of Tang Zong's report is some domestic news, and occasionally it will be mixed with some major international events, Dai Jiangshan listened while eating, and at the same time as the briefing was finished, three chicken soup buns and a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup were also eaten.

"Are you back?" Dai Jiangshan swallowed the last mouthful of duck blood vermicelli soup, took out a blue-white handkerchief, and began to wipe his mouth.

"They arrived last night, and I settled them in the Huatong Hotel." Tang Zong replied cautiously.

"Let them come." Dai Jiangshan pushed the finished dishes and chopsticks in front of him, leaned back, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

A moment later, there was a knock on the office door, and Tang Zong led a group of four people in, and after a few brief introductions, he immediately exited the room.

"Humble Yunwei, I've seen the seat!" The leader walked to the office desk and stood up and saluted.

"These two are aspiring young people from Taiwan?" He stood up and walked in front of the four of them, looking at the two young men who were following Yun Wei and Liu Xuejun.

"Humble Qi Tengyuan/Sun Jingting, I've seen the seat!" Qi Tengyuan and Sun Jingting put their legs together and replied loudly.

"Yes, yes," he looked at the two heroic young men in front of him with appreciative eyes, and stretched out his hand to shake the two of them, "I heard Yun Wei say in the telegram that you are indeed intelligence elites with both wisdom and bravery. ”

"I'm ashamed of my humble position, compared to Section Chief Fang......." Qi Tengyuan's eyes turned red.

"Don't talk about him yet," he shook his hand and sat back in his chair, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Sun, what are your plans to return to your homeland?" ”

"Returning to China this time, I heard about the style of my homeland, so that the two of them are close to each other, as long as they can contribute to the country, everything is subject to the arrangement of the seat!" Sun Jingting replied solemnly.

"Okay, the heart of the child, I am deeply grateful!" The seat showed a satisfied expression, and after a pause, he spoke again: "General Li Youbang, have you heard of it?" ”

"I've heard that the three generals, Li Youbang, Lin Mushun, and Lin Tianjin, are all from our Taiwan Fu Lao, and they are also the second phase students of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the two of them have always longed for them!" Sun Jingting hurriedly replied.

"Good, good, good!" He said three good words in a row, got up and patted the shoulders of the two of them, and then said:

"General Li Youbang attacked the Taipei Police Station on the eve of the thirteenth Chinese New Year's Eve of the Republic of China, severely attacked the Japanese, and joined the Whampoa Military Academy after returning to China, and is now a major general of the National Army, and is also your role model! Of course, the two of you, who are out of the Japanese spy school, are not far behind your predecessors, I think, according to the path of your predecessors, you also go to the Huangpu Advanced Training Class to study for further study, how about it? ”

After Qi Sun and the others glanced at each other, they said in a deep voice: "Obey the arrangement of the seats!" ”

"Okay, let's get here today, and when you finish your studies, the country will award you the corresponding military rank and treatment according to your ability, of course, you are meritorious heroes, naturally everything is preferred!" The seat opened.

Qi Sun and the others showed gratitude on their faces, thanked them again and again, and waved their hands with a smile, allowing the two to retreat.

When the two of them exited the office, the face of the seat suddenly changed, gloomy as if it was about to drip water, he glared at Yun Wei and Liu Xuejun with fierce eyes, and said sharply:

"Yun Wei, I asked you to rescue Fang Tu, that's how you rescued it?!"

"Despicable sin deserves death! Please sit down and shoot on the spot! Yun Wei's face was full of shame, and Liu Xuejun on the side also lowered his head.

"Fang Tu risked his life to rescue you back to China, but I didn't expect you to go back, but I told me that Fang Tu was missing! How can a big living person be missing?! The eyes of the seat were like fire, and he stared at Yun Wei deadly, "You didn't investigate properly?" How dare you come back like this? You are abandoning your friends and running away! ”

"I didn't find Section Chief Fang, I didn't want to live in the first place, but Liu Hongbo and Stationmaster Liu were martyred in Osaka, and in order to take care of the overall situation, I could only temporarily retreat, and now I have brought people back, and I applied to return to Japan with my humble position, and if I don't find Section Chief Fang, I will never live alone!" Yun Wei's face turned red.

"It's a bit ambitious," he sneered, "Let's talk about it, how did Stationmaster Liu die?" ”

"Sit down," Liu Xuejun on the side hurriedly took over, "When we went, Stationmaster Liu's grocery store had been burned to the ground, and I heard from my neighbors that the grocery store suddenly caught fire a few days ago, and then many people went to put out the fire, but they still didn't save it." Humble speculation, it should be stationmaster Liu who found out that he was being watched, so he decided to die and die for the country! ”

"Loyalty and courage are commendable, loyalty and courage are commendable!" The seat sighed, and then turned his disdainful gaze to Yun Wei and the two, "It's a pity, it's a pity, those who should come back didn't come back, and those who shouldn't come back came back!" ”

As soon as these words were said, Yun Wei and the others were even more ashamed, and their heads hung as if they were about to fall to the ground.

"Forget it, you've been investigating for a long time, do you have any guesses, where did Fang Tu go?" He shook his head and sat back in his chair.

"He only said that he had something to do and went out, so he left Qi Sun and the others in the safe house, and didn't say anything else." Yun Wei said helplessly.

"Seated, I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with Section Chief Fang, with Section Chief Fang's ability, there shouldn't be any leaks, think about it, Section Chief Fang can get out of danger from the spy training center when he has been exposed, how can he repeat the mistakes of the past? So I think that Section Chief Fang must have encountered some accident, and maybe he will be back soon. Liu Xuejun said on the side.

"That's the best, but it's been more than a month, telegrams, letters, nothing, how do you convince me that he's safe and sound?! Also, how Liu Hongbo was exposed in Osaka, have you thought about it?! The seat said sharply.

Yun Wei and the two of them were in their hearts - the meaning of the seat was that Section Chief Fang betrayed Liu Hongbo?
