Chapter 160: Hidden Traps
When Yulin arrived at the Yangjiadu ferry, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and he found Mei Zhijie's canopy boat. ~with~dream~small~say~ั~suimะตng~lฤ
"Boatman, I'm going to take a ferry to the Bund."
"I'm sorry, our ship is going to Dongjiadu."
The code word matched, Yu Lin shook hands with Mei Zhijie, and then Yu Lin told Mei Zhijie about his intentions: "Please go back to the base area in northern Jiangsu and confirm with Political Commissar Huang that there is no comrade in our organization who has a black mole on his eyebrows, is about 1.75 meters tall, and has a thin figure who has been arrested, and he was handed over from Nanjing to the Shanghai Station of the Secret Bureau this afternoon." Is the organization going to let us rescue it? โ
"Okay, I'll go back and ask. I'll come to the photo studio to find you when I have news. After Mei Zhijie understood the task assigned by Yu Lin, he decided to set off immediately.
After Mei Zhijie said goodbye to Yulin, he immediately held the boat and left Yangjiadu.
Tan Jingting returned to No. 28 Haig Road, and as soon as he entered the door, Osmanthus brought him a bowl of longan and red date soup.
"Jing Ting, you're tired, drink this bowl of longan and red date soup."
Tan Jingting handed the briefcase to Osmanthus, took the longan and red date soup, and drank it.
Osmanthus watched Tan Jingting drink the longan red date soup, and then took the empty bowl from Tan Jingting's hand: "Do you want more?" There is it in the pot. โ
Tan Jingting shook his head: "No need, Osmanthus, I want to lie down for a while." โ
"Oh, Jing Ting, you go to the bedroom and lie down for a while, the meal is ready, I'll call you." Osmanthus took the empty bowl back to the kitchen.
Tan Jingting walked into the bedroom and lay on the bed, he was really tired, especially tired.
He saw Yulin and Shuxian at the Sixteen Pu Pier today, and his heart really felt like it was being picked up. Because this scene handed over to the Communist Party criminals was written, directed and acted by him, the purpose was to see if Shuxian and Yulin would appear on the dock because of this, and sure enough, the two appeared at the same time, and their eyes never left this so-called Communist Party criminal. Although later, the so-called cousin appeared, it does not rule out suspicions in them.
"Jing Ting, what's wrong with you? Sick? Osmanthus walked to the bed and tested Tan Jingting's forehead with her hand.
"I'm not sick, I'm just tired, just lie down for a while." Tan Jingting shook his head.
"Jing Ting, I'...... I'm pregnant. Osmanthus said shyly.
Tan Jingting immediately jumped up from the bed: "Osmanthus, what did you say?" โ
"I'm pregnant." Osmanthus looked at Tan Jingting affectionately.
"Really?" Tan Jingting left all the troubles and depression just now behind him, and looked at the osmanthus excitedly.
"I went to the small clinic at the door today, and Lang Zhong there told me."
"That's not called Langzhong, it's Western medicine, osmanthus, do you have any reaction?" Tan Jingting looked at Osmanthus anxiously, after all, he Tan Jingting was thirty-six years old, and there were several children of the same age as him, and the eldest one had already graduated from high school.
"Sometimes I have to gag and get sleepy easily." Osmanthus told Tan Jingting about the sensations in her body.
"Then you are so resting, don't be busy every day, burn this and that, I will hire a nanny for you tomorrow." Tan Jingting was afraid that Osmanthus would be tired, so he hurriedly told her to rest more.
"No, I don't feel tired at all doing these chores at home every day, and I used to be much more tired than doing farm work in my hometown." Osmanthus was not used to being served by others, and she felt that she was born a cheap life, unlike the pampered ladies in the city.
"No, you must please, you are almost forty, elderly pregnant women, don't take yourself seriously, you have to think more about our son, find a nanny, and chat with you, pass the time, you won't feel bored." Tan Jingting insisted on hiring a nanny.
"Jing Ting, you are so good to me." Osmanthus looked at Tan Jingting affectionately.
This sentence made Tan Jingting very embarrassed, when he was twenty years old, he ran away from marriage, let Osmanthus stay alone in the empty house for more than ten years, wasted a good youth in vain, and missed the best fertility period. Now the osmanthus is nearly forty years old, but let her endure the pain of childbirth, he feels that the second half of his life must be good to the osmanthus, and he must make up for the first half of his life owes the osmanthus back.
The next day, when Tam returned to the office, he called Ah Qiang and whispered a few words to him, and Ah Qiang understood and went out.
At noon, Shuyan was eating lunch in the confidential room when Tan Jingting walked in.
"Miss Xu, are you having lunch?" Tan Jingting said hello to Shuyan.
"Director Tan, have you eaten?" Shuyan raised her head and looked at Tan Jingting.
"I just ate it. Miss Xu, I have something I want to ask you. Tan Jingting smiled at Shuyan embarrassedly.
Although Yu Lin and Tan Jingting recognized each other, in Shanghai Station, Tan Jingting rarely had individual exchanges with Shuyan, so when she heard that Tan Jingting had something to ask her, Shuyan was a little surprised.
"That's right, my wife has just become pregnant, I would like to inquire, what should a pregnant woman add? I looked at all the ladies on our site, Director Cao and Pan Lili have never given birth, and you are the only one who has experience in this area. Tan Jingting explained his intention to Shuyan.
"Congratulations, Director Tan, Madame is pregnant, you are about to become a father." Shuyan is happy that Tan Jingting can be promoted to father.
"Thank you, but it's still nine months before I become a dad." Tan Jingting smiled slightly.
"Pregnant women, first of all, there should be nutritional guarantees, protein and the like, such as lean meat, fresh fish, eggs are essential, followed by fruits......
Suddenly, Ah Qiang broke in: "Director, where are you here, the Communist Party brought back yesterday was going to be stubborn and wanted to hit the wall of the dungeon, but fortunately he was stopped in time." What should I do now, will the trial continue? โ
"From yesterday to today, he has not eaten a grain of rice, but he has the strength to hit the wall, don't try him first, tie him up tightly, and starve him a few more times, see if he still has the strength to seek death?" Tan Jingting sneered a few times and ordered Ah Qiang.
"Okay, got it." Cuong walked out of the confidential room.
"Director Tan, what's going on?" Shuyan couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you see it yesterday at the Sixteen Pu Wharf, Nanjing Station handed over a communist to us, let us strengthen the interrogation, this has not even begun, he is looking for death. Okay, Miss Xu, let's not talk about this, you go on, what else to eat besides protein and fruits? โ
At this time, Shuyan's thoughts were all on the Communist Party criminals in that dungeon, so that she didn't respond to Tan Jingting's questioning.
"Miss Xu, Miss Xu?" Tan Jingting shouted a few times.
"Oh." Shuyan came back to her senses: "Except for what I just said, it is to rest more, rest more." โ
"Okay, thank you Miss Xu for your advice." Tan Jingting left the confidential room with a smile.
Shuyan is sorting out the files in the confidential room, but her heart is bound by the Communist Party official in the dungeon, from yesterday to today, she has not eaten a grain of rice for two consecutive days, and she has to be tortured by these executioners, Shuyan's heart seems to be twisted in pain. She decided to take the risk of bringing something to eat to her comrades, so she took out the shaqima from the drawer, which she had prepared for her overtime snack.
So-yeon quietly walked downstairs to the dungeon, she held her breath and tiptoed to finally reach the dungeon, but she didn't notice anyone in the dungeon.
"What's going on? Did they transfer this comrade away? Shuyan couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
Just as Shuyan was puzzled, a voice sounded from behind her: "What is Miss Xu doing in the dungeon?" โ
This voice really scared Shuyan away, she looked back, it was Tan Jingting, could it be that he had been staring at herself?
"Oh, it's Director Tan, I'm here to find Ah Long." Shuyan hurriedly prevaricated.
"You're looking for Aaron?" Tan Jingting looked at Shuyan suspiciously.
"Yes, didn't Aaron say that his son always has a cough, a cold, and asthma? I have a home remedy for his son's illness. โ
Ah Long does have a weak and sick son, and Ah Long often complains in the station that his son is sick for three days.
"Oh, Miss Xu is really warm-hearted. Aaron went out on a mission. โ
"Oh, since Aaron isn't here, I'll tell him the next time I meet him."
Shuyan turned around and walked past Tan Jingting, and Tan Jingting saw Shuyan holding two pieces of shaqima in her hands.
Yulin estimated that Mei Zhijie was about to come back from northern Jiangsu in the past two days, so he had been waiting in the light and shadow photo studio, and sure enough, Mei Zhijie came to connect.
"Comrade Zhijie, drink saliva." Yu Lin saw that Mei Zhijie was dusty, his face was tired, and he hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Mei Zhijie took the teacup and drank it all: "Comrade Yulin, I reported this situation to Political Commissar Huang, he has already checked, and there is no comrade with a thin figure who has a black mole between his eyebrows as you said, about 1.75 meters." โ
"No such person?" Yu Lin frowned.
"There really isn't such a person." Mei Zhijie replied in the affirmative.
"So, this is a trap set by Tan Jingting?" When Yu Lin thought of this, his heart chuckled.
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhijie. Don't go back to the ship today, and rest here for the night. โ
"Okay, thank you, Comrade Yulin, to be honest, I'm really a little prostration." Mei Zhijie was so tired that his eyelids were fighting.
Yu Lin handed the money to Tiger Boy: "Tiger Boy, you go buy something to eat nearby." โ
Yulin took Mei Zhijie to the lounge on the second floor, and Brother Zhu saw that someone was coming, so he hurriedly went to the downstairs room to make a bunk and gave the bed to Mei Zhijie.
Yu Lin hurried back to the West Wing, he wanted to tell Shuyan the news as soon as possible.
"Yulin, are you saying that there is no such Communist Party criminal in our organization?" So-yeon was surprised.
"Nope." Yu Lin shook his head.
"No wonder, I went to the dungeon that day, but I didn't see anyone." So-yeon felt as if she had made a big mistake.
"Shuyan, did you go to the dungeon?" Yu Lin was taken aback.
"Tan Jingting went to the confidential room to talk to me about pregnant women, and then Ah Qiang came, saying that the Communist Party wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall, and said that he hadn't eaten for a few days. I was in a hurry, so I took two pieces of Shaqima and wanted this comrade to eat something, but there was no one in the dungeon, but I didn't expect Tan Jingting to follow me quietly and ask me what I was doing here, and I prevaricated on the grounds of looking for Ah Long. Shuyan explained what happened that day to Yulin 1510 clearly.
"Shuyan, Tan Jingting is deliberately setting up a trap, on the dock that day, maybe we have been seen through by him." Yu Lin was a little annoyed, and now that he thinks about it, he and Shuyan should have made the wrong move when they appeared at the Sixteenth Shop Pier.
"What then? Will he do it to us right away? So-yeon tensed.
