Gao Fei came out of Xia Ju's house and walked to the hotel, and a crisp sound of firecrackers sounded on the street from time to time. At the beginning, Gao Fei was often startled, thinking that there was a gun, and then he saw that it was some children setting off firecrackers on the side of the street.

It's still early, but the kids are already starting to celebrate.

Gao Fei walked to the door of the hotel, and was just about to walk in, when Bai Fang flashed out of the shadows, glanced at Gao Fei, and walked in front without saying a word.

At such a late hour, Bai Fang suddenly took the initiative to contact him, it must have been something important. Gao Fei vigilantly patrolled around, slowly following behind Bai Fang.

On the side of the road more than 100 meters away from the hotel, a small car was parked, Bai Fang opened the door and sat in, Gao Fei looked at it and no one paid attention, and then got into the car.

The car drove away from the hotel and drove slowly along Pidgin Road, Bai Fang didn't seem to have any goals, and after ten minutes, she parked the car on the side of the road.

Gao Fei couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Fang was silent for a long time, and suddenly buried her face in her hands, her shoulders shrugged, and she sobbed in a low voice.

It was the first time Gao Fei had met a liaison, and it was his superiors who cried uncontrollably in front of him. He looked at Bai Fang in amazement: "What's wrong with you?" What the hell is going on? ”

Bai Fang kept making sorry gestures, and after a few minutes, she stabilized her emotions: "I'm sorry, Captain Gao, I shouldn't be like this, I'm so excited......"

Gao Fei had to wait for her to continue.

"I also just found out about the newcomer you developed...... It's called Xia Ju, right? ”

"That's right. But because she doesn't need to have any direct contact with you. You didn't ask, and I didn't say. ”

"Yes, yes, you did nothing wrong. It's my problem...... Captain Gao, can you tell me about her? ”

Gao Fei was very strange, Bai Fang took the risk of contacting him like this just to inquire about the situation of a newcomer? When can't you ask this kind of thing, you must ask yourself so late and in such a hurry.

Although there was a question mark in his head, Gao Fei still told Bai Fang the basic information he knew about Xia Ju. Gao Fei thought to himself, since Bai Fang was in such a hurry to ask, it was naturally her intention.

"You're saying her dad is dead?"

"Yes. It was an accident that occurred during our assassination of the deputy director of the Department of Education. ”

"Then, Xia Ju lives at home alone now?"

"Yes."

“…… Give me her home address. ”

"If you have anything to inform Xia Ju? It would be a little more convenient for me to go to her. ”

"Captain Gao, I'm sorry for today's incident, because it's not about work, it's purely my personal matter. I'm so sorry. ”

Gao Fei didn't speak, if it was because of Bai Fang's personal affairs, it would definitely be a violation of the discipline of the military command for her to meet her at the risk that both of them might be exposed.

"Captain Gao, I'll send you back." Bai Fang saw what Gao Fei meant, but didn't explain further.

Bai Fang drove Gao Fei to a place not far from the hotel and left on his own, Gao Fei waited for a while before walking in the direction of the hotel.

Back in the hotel room, Yin Ping was already dressed and about to go out, and he was relieved to see Gao Fei come back: "Just now I heard gunshots everywhere, worried that something happened to you, and I was about to pick you up." ”

Gao Fei: "It's not a gun, it's a firecracker." ”

Yin Ping suddenly smiled and said, "I said where did I get so many gunshots." ”

Bang! Bang!

Two more voices were heard in the distance.

Yin Ping: "Now there is no control over gunpowder?" ”

"In order to whitewash the peace, the Japanese control over ordinary firecrackers during the Spring Festival is not as strict as before."

Bang! Bang! Bang! A few more sounds.

"It's hard to distinguish between the real and the fake with these firecrackers and gunshots, it's really a deception to death!" Yin Ping lay back on the bed.

Gao Fei listened intently for a while, and said, "No, those few sounds just now don't look like the sound of firecrackers." Let's go, go out and have a look! ”

Gao Fei and Yin Ping left the hotel and searched along the way Bai Fang went back. Not a few hundred meters away from Bai Fang and Gao Fei, Bai Fang's car was stuck in the grass on the side of the road, and Bai Fang was lying motionless on the steering wheel.

"Yin Ping, be on alert!" Gao Fei shouted to Yin Ping, hurriedly ran over, and helped Bai Fang's body.

"Bai Fang! Bai Fang! Wake up! Gao Fei roared anxiously, he couldn't help but be anxious, Bai Fang was his only superior now, if she had three longs and two shorts, her action team would simply be a kite with a broken string.

Bai Fang opened her eyes slightly, saw that it was Gao Fei, and reluctantly leaned her body on the seat: "Captain Gao, ......are you here?"

Gao Fei: "What's going on?" Who did it? ”

Bai Fang shook his head: "I don't know." Maybe I'm exposed, I shouldn't have come to you today, I violated discipline......"

Gao Fei: "If you are exposed, how can I be safe?" This is a strange thing. Stop talking, I'll take you to the hospital! ”

Bai Fang grabbed Gao Fei: "Captain Gao, don't bother, I can't do it...... I, I want to ask you for one thing......"

Bai Fang was shot in the chest, and the blood had already stained the entire chest. Gao Fei knew that what she said was true, even if he took the risk of sending her to the hospital, he was afraid that he would not be able to recover.

"Whatever you say, whatever I can do. I tried my best. ”

"I just beg you, help me, help me take care of my daughter......"

"Your daughter? Why does your daughter want me to take care of it, won't your husband take care of it? ”

"Captain Gao, don't interject, listen to me. My daughter...... Only you can ...... Take care of her because ...... She is Xia Ju......"

Gao Fei was stunned and said, "Xia Ju? Xia Ju is your daughter? ”

"My original name was Magnolia. Twenty years ago, I divorced Xia Ju's father after arguing for the cause I believed in, and I ...... I thought he took his daughter back to his hometown in northern Jiangsu, who would have thought ...... It turned out that they had been in Shanghai all along. Bai Fang choked.

Gao Fei suddenly understood why Bai Fang was so disregarding the danger tonight and came to ask him about Xia Ju. A mother who suddenly learns her daughter's whereabouts after 20 years can't wait, not even a minute.

"No wonder the first time I saw you, I thought you were a little familiar, it turned out to be because of Xia Ju."

She ...... Like me? Bai Fang excitedly wanted to sit up, but was unsuccessful.

"Like. It's very similar between the eyebrows and eyes, especially when you smile. ”

Bai Fang's tears suddenly fell suddenly, and the tears fell on the wound on his chest, mixed with blood.

"So, I can only ...... Please...... Take care of her ......"

"Don't worry, I will."

"Something else...... I don't have much to keep in mind...... What I'm most worried about right now...... It's Xia Ju, my daughter ......"

Bai Fang slowly closed her eyes, Gao Fei reached out and touched her pulse, there was no sign of survival.

My superiors died like this, what will I do in the future? How do I get in touch with my new supervisor? Bai Fang's friend's batch of goods is still in warehouse No. 4, how to deal with it?

When she was dying, she didn't care about anything except Xia Ju.

Before a mother dies, in addition to the relatives she cares about the most, what organization, what belief and what cause are all fleeting things for her.
