Chapter 169: The Price of Impulsiveness
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Ding Fan returned to his home, took out the key to open the door, heard the door ring, and his wife greeted him: "Why did you come back so late?" β
"Hurry up and post a news review tomorrow. What about children? β
"I just fell asleep, and a minute ago I was yelling to wait for my dad to come back and tell the story, and I fell asleep a minute later."
Ding Fan: "I'm going to see my baby daughter." β
"Don't go, just fell asleep, don't wake up again."
"Oh, well. Is there anything to eat? I am hungry. β
"You wait a while, I'll go and make you a bowl of noodles."
"Okay, remember to put a little more cilantro."
His wife was cooking noodles for him in the kitchen, and Ding Fan was sitting in the living room and taking out the manuscript, still thinking about it repeatedly. Today's newspaper has greatly increased the sales of the "Horn" newspaper because of the sharp and bold headline, surpassing the sales of several major newspapers for the first time, which is a very remarkable achievement for a newspaper that has only been in existence for a year!
Ten minutes later, his wife put a steaming bowl of lo noodles on the coffee table, and saw that Ding Fan was still looking at the manuscript intently, so she urged: "Don't look at it yet, the noodles should be delicious while they are hot." β
Ding Fan put down the manuscript, just grabbed a pair of chopsticks and noodles, turned around and asked his wife, "Where is the coriander?" β
The wife hurriedly went back to the kitchen and grabbed a handful of minced coriander and put it in the noodle bowl, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's all cut, I forgot to put it." β
"Now your memory is so bad, I see that you are getting old, I'm afraid you will become an old fool." Ding Fan was eating noodles and teasing his wife.
"You're just foolish...... Oh, and there's one more thing I almost forgot. β
"You also said that you are not an old fool, and you will forget two things for a while. What's up? β
"I went to the vegetable market this afternoon and met a guy who said he was your friend and asked me to give you this phone number." As he spoke, Ding Fan's wife took out a note from the drawer and handed it to her husband.
"My friend? Then why didn't he call the newspaper? What's his name? β
"I asked him the same thing, and he said his surname was Feng, and he said that you will understand as soon as I tell you. Ding Fan, what kind of friend did you make? How mysterious. β
Ding Fan immediately put down his chopsticks and took the note: "What else did Mr. Feng say?" β
"He told you to call him from a pay phone."
Ding Fan put on his coat and walked out, and his wife chased him out: "It's so late, why are you going?" β
"I'm going to make a call and I'll be back in a moment."
"Why do you have to go to a pay phone when you have a phone at home? β¦β¦β
As he spoke, Ding Fan had already walked away.
Five or six hundred meters away from his home, Ding Fan found a public telephone booth, and after putting in the coin, he took out a note and dialed it according to the number: "Hey, Mr. Feng, I'm Ding Fan." β
On the other end of the phone, Feng Yifan's voice was very stern: "Ding Fan, do you know that you made a serious mistake!" β
"What's wrong?"
"Why don't you dare to use such a bold headline to report Fan Changling's incident on the front page without asking for instructions!"
"Mr. Feng, I think that the title of such an article can effectively deal a blow to the arrogance of the enemy and boost the vigorous fighting spirit of the people in the occupied areas......
"You know how much work we have done and how much hard work we have put in Shanghai to lurk in Shanghai! If you push yourself to the forefront like this, you must have been noticed by the enemy! Any idea why I didn't call the newspaper? It is possible that the newspaper's phone calls have been monitored! Include your home phone! β
ββ¦β¦ So what should I do? β
"There is no other way, for the sake of your safety, I have decided to transfer you out of Shanghai and send you to work elsewhere."
"When am I leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? In such a hurry? β
"According to the usual methods of the enemy, they should have taken you today! I didn't do it, I guess I wanted to check your identity and background again! There's a chance your house will be under spy surveillance early tomorrow morning, so you'll need to find a safe place tonight. β
"Then go to the Four Seas Inn near my house."
"No, it's a little farther away, as far as tomorrow when I send someone to pick you up, I'll be there one step ahead of the spies!"
"The Huaxin Hotel on Sima Road, which is the French Concession, is also far away from my home."
"Okay, Huaxin Hotel, remember, you can't use your real name, you have to use your fake identity of 'Wang Qiang' before to check in. Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, I will send someone to pick you up. That's it, you go back and pack your things, get out of the house as soon as possible! β
"I understand."
Ding Fan put down the phone and immediately returned home, where his wife was tidying up the house. Ding Fan said: "Don't clean up, pack up your things immediately, we have to get out of here." β
"Are you crazy? The children are all asleep, where are we going in the middle of the night? β
"Don't ask, go to the hotel!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"They all said you don't ask! Hurry up and pack your things! β
Ding Fan was distraught, he still didn't believe how much disaster his impulsive actions could bring. But since the superior ordered him to evacuate, he had to obey it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Before dawn in the morning, "Ring ring ring!" The phone rang in Jin Zhanlin's bedroom.
Jin Zhanlin grabbed the phone with sleepy eyes: "Hey, who is it?" β
"Director, I'm Kevin Ding. Ding Fan ran away! β
Jin Zhanlin immediately refreshed himself and sat up: "Ran away?" When did this happen? β
"It should have been last night."
"It seems that there is really something wrong with this Ding Fan...... Why didn't you get your hands on him yesterday? β
"Yesterday I arranged for someone to listen to his phone, I wanted to see if I could find his accomplices, but I didn't expect him to move so fast."
"Team Leader Ding, you can't always use conventional means to deal with spies. In the case of Ding Fan, he posted such a bold and radical article that even if he himself was not aware of the danger, his accomplices would definitely alert him. You should make a decision immediately, you don't need any listening and surveillance, and you can arrest people first! When you enter interrogation room 76, are you still afraid that he won't confess? β
"Director, you are right to criticize, it is my negligence."
"You called early in the morning, didn't you tell me about it, to make my heart more blocked, right? Say! What a remedy! β
Ding Fan fled with his family, the goal of the family of three was very obvious, and it was difficult to disguise it. The top priority is to immediately issue a wanted warrant for Ding Fan! As long as you hold the dock station, you are not afraid that he will fly out of Shanghai! β
ββ¦β¦ Good! I'll call Director Li and ask him to issue a wanted warrant! β
At six o'clock in the morning, Ding Fan's family of three had already packed up and were ready to wait for Feng Yifan to send someone to pick him up. But until eight o'clock, no one came to talk to him.
The innkeeper came and knocked on his door: "Mr. Wang, the front desk has your phone number looking for you." β
"Oh, good." Ding Fan followed the boss to the front desk.
Ding Fan picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Wang Qiang, who are you?" β
Feng Yifan on the other end of the phone: "Ding Fan, now that the plan has changed, the enemy's arrest warrant for you has been issued, and it is impossible to leave in a normal way." What room do you stay in? β
"Room 8."
"Good. Huaxin Hotel is in the concession, and the spies will not be able to find you for a while, and it will be safe in a day or two. Don't go out as a family of three, wait for my notice. β
"Okay."
Feng Yifan hung up the phone, he was also very anxious, he didn't expect the enemy's wanted order to be so fast, he thought that as long as he delayed for another half a day, he could send Ding Fan's family out of Shanghai safely.
The fact that the wanted warrant had been issued so early had disrupted his plans. The underground party originally had its own safe passage in Shanghai, but because of the last incident with Tetsuya Takeuchi, it had been sabotaged by the enemy. A new safe passage has not been established in a short period of time, and it seems that there is no other way to send Ding Fan's family away...... For mobile phone users, please browse M.
