Lu Ming was full of emotion, and said softly: "How can I not see it, I have been subscribing to various newspapers every day over the years, and I can almost make markers, and I will review the places where the editor's code words are written, just to find out some news about you!" ”

Lu Ming has been searching for the underground party that has lost contact with him all these years, but he has gained little.

There are also latent comrades in the middle who have been contacted in the old way, and even those who have been set a trap have been wittily dodged by him, but there are also two successful ones who have taken back the two old comrades.

Although it is dangerous to take the risk of connecting in the old way, Lu Ming convinces himself every time that if he can take back a comrade, he will bring back another unwavering fighter for the party and increase the strength of the revolution!

As for the risks he took, he did not care about his own safety, from the day he participated in the revolution, he put his life and death out of the way, once there was an accident, there was really no hope of getting out, then at the last moment he would not hesitate to end his life, the threat to himself this link, must not endanger the safety of the party organization!

This time it was the same way, and after four days of hesitation, he finally decided to take the plunge.

"Lao Lu, I ask to restore my identity immediately and arrange work for me, I have waited too long for this day, and I don't want to delay for a moment!" Zhang Pei said impatiently, his eyes full of expectation!

Lu Ming stretched out his hand and pressed Zhang Pei's hands, patted them twice and comforted: "Don't worry, Lao Zhang, our party will not forget every loyal soldier." I understand your feelings!

However, you know the party's organizational discipline, and I can prove the history of the Republic of China before the nineteenth year, but in the next seven years, you have to write a detailed material about your experience, and the organization will send someone to investigate and review, you can rest assured, this time will not be very long, and you will be able to work for the party again soon! ”

"But I don't want to wait a day, old way! I~" Zhang Pei said anxiously.

"I know, I know! Lao Zhang, the current situation is becoming more and more severe, you don't know that after our party organization has been greatly damaged, the way of working has changed a lot, and every member of the organization must be screened and audited with the strictest to ensure that it will not repeat the mistakes of the past and suffer heavy losses! You have to believe in me, believe in the party, and have confidence in our party! Lu Ming patiently explained that the feelings of these comrades who had lost contact were like this, and he could understand the urgency of the wanderer who had been wandering for many years to finally find his home.

Zhang Pei looked at Lu Ming's gaze, stopped talking, and finally nodded in agreement, and Lu Ming asked with concern: "Do you have a foothold in Nanjing?" ”

"No, I asked for a room in the hotel opposite, if I can't find an organization this time, I plan to go back to Beiping in a few days!" Zhang Pei said.

Lu Ming nodded, then took out a stack of fiat currency from his pocket, put it in Zhang Pei's hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "This is some money, you rent a room around here, don't walk around, it will be Sunday in two days, six o'clock in the evening, still here, you give me the materials you have written!"

After that, come to this hotel at 6 o'clock every Sunday night and wait for me, we will meet once until the investigation and review of the organization is over, and I will arrange your work specifically! ”

Zhang Pei looked at the money in his hand silently, and after a while, he asked hesitantly: "Lao Lu, if there is something important, how can I contact you?" ”

What's important? Lu Ming looked at Zhang Pei with some surprise, thought for a while and said: "Lao Zhang, it's not that I don't believe you, you can't know my disguised identity, this is organizational discipline!" I can only contact you, of course, when you pass the investigation in the future, we can fight side by side! ”

In the end, he still had reservations, although Zhang Pei was his old comrade-in-arms, but after seven years, there has been no change in some people and things, who can guarantee that those who do underground work cannot fully trust others, even if they are his comrades-in-arms for many years!

At the same time, at the window of the third-floor room of the hotel opposite, Ma Hong was carefully observing.

The team members around him asked curiously: "Captain, do you think that the underground party will believe Zhang Pei?" After so many years of losing contact, just by opening his mouth and saying it, let him rejoin? ”

Ma Hong's eyes didn't leave the window for a moment, and he said unhurriedly: "It's always not wrong to give it a try, Zhang Pei said that the person I saw last time was his comrade-in-arms who had known him for many years, and it should be easy to gain his trust."

If you can re-enter the underground party, of course! Since then, we have an extra pair of eyes in the underground party. If you can't, and there's no loss, then arrest it immediately, there will always be a gain anyway! ”

"Can this Zhang Pei believe it? It's been three months since I was arrested, and so far an accomplice of the underground party hasn't caught it, this time the captain said, will he suddenly turn back? Another member of the team also came over and spoke.

"What are you afraid of, it's not fishing for one now, as long as he shows up, he won't be able to run!" One of the team members also said.

"Man, it's like a raw egg, as long as you break the hard shell on the outside, it's soft soup inside. Once the bottom line of being a person is broken, then this person has no self-esteem and no trust at all! As long as he is afraid of death, he will not be allowed to have different intentions! Ma Hong tilted his head and said proudly to the team members around him.

"Yes, the captain can see it clearly, but this Zhang Pei is also hard, and it took two days and two nights to finally confess, and all this work was not in vain!"

"Captain, the fourth is back!" A team member looked at someone approaching downstairs and recognized that it was the team member who went home for Ma Hong to get a change of clothes!

After a while, the team member named Lao Si pushed the door in, "Captain, the clothes have been retrieved, and there are still a few boxes of cigarettes!" ”

"There's no need, there is already a big fish on the hook just now, someone has connected with Zhang Pei, there will be a result tonight, we don't have to work hard here!" A member of the team next to him said with a smile.

Ma Hong also said happily: "After a while, everyone cheered up, looking at Zhang Pei's actions, if he didn't have abnormal movements, it means that everything is going well, he has gained the trust of the other party, so follow the connector, find his whereabouts, and continue to monitor!"

But if he raises his right hand to comb his hair and makes this action when he goes out, it means that something is wrong, either he is found out, or he is not trusted, so he will be arrested immediately and directly pry open the mouth of this connector! ”

The rest of the team nodded their heads and began to get ready, ready to move at any time!

Just when the two groups of people upstairs and downstairs were all marching around, their eyes were on their targets, ready to pounce on their prey at any time.

The conversation between the two people in the box also came to an end, and Zhang Pei said: "Old Lu, haven't you been back to Jiangbei all these years?" There is no news of other comrades, I really miss them, Liu Fat, Xiao Li, and Lao Wu! Sometimes I dream of them! ”

Lu Ming also recalled briefly in a trance, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, I evacuated ahead of schedule and escaped the catastrophe by luck, and I never returned to Jiangbei after that, and my comrades-in-arms at that time were all separated, but don't be sad, we do revolutionary work, life and death have long been out of our minds!" ”

"Then you have been working in Nanjing all these years, you must have done a lot of work for the party, right? Ay! It's not like me, like a deserter hiding in Tibet, and I've spent the past seven years in vain! Zhang Pei's tone was natural, but he led the topic to the direction he wanted to know, and cautiously tentatively said.

"You! As an old comrade-in-arms, I remind you that the underground work is very cruel now, you must be patient and cautious, and you must never use this kind of contact information in the future, and now the secret services of the Kuomintang have special personnel to review the newspapers issued on the market, and we rarely use this way to contact them anymore! Just like this time, I hesitated for a long time to venture out to meet you! Lu Ming said patiently, but changed the topic very tactfully.

"yes, is there any danger now? Hey, I haven't been involved in the operation for a long time now, and I know too little about the enemy! Zhang Peima showed a nervous look and hurriedly said!

At this time, Lu Ming stood up and covered half of his face with the scarf again, and Zhang Pei said with some hesitation: "Why do you leave quickly?" ”

Lu Ming nodded and said, "It's been delayed for a long time, and it's easy to have accidents!" We'll be here in two days, we'll meet again! ”

Zhang Pei also said helplessly: "I haven't seen my comrades for so long, I can't help but want to talk to you more!" Well, I'll be waiting for you here in two days. Wait, I'll go first, see if there's any situation outside, and wait five minutes before you go, it's safer! ”

Lu Ming paused, and then agreed with a smile, Zhang Pei got up and opened the door, took a closer look, then nodded to Lu Ming, and went out cautiously.

Watching Zhang Pei go out, Lu Ming stepped forward and slowly closed the door, and the smile on his face slowly converged!

I was careless, but I didn't expect it to be careless!

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but still taking risks in person, in underground work, this is not a commendable heroic act, this is fatal stupidity, I didn't expect that I still made such a low-level mistake!

With his many years of underground work experience and the intuition of a veteran agent, there must be something wrong with his comrade-in-arms Zhang Pei, who was a comrade-in-arms many years ago!
