Chapter 147: Pressing Forward
For several nights, Zhu Hongda secretly observed the opposite room with a telescope, but always found that only Shuxian was alone in the bedroom, and he felt a little strange: since Shuxian has been maintaining his little reporter in front of him, why do the two sleep in different beds? If Shuxian really fell out with her little reporter, then why didn't she accept him?
Zhu Hongda pondered and meditated on the answer: A woman's heart is really a needle under the sea, which is unpredictable, why does Shuxian keep rejecting herself and being alienated from her husband? He wanted to find out, and finally, he made a decision: to spy on the West Wing.
So, two days later, Zhu Hongda took a set of listening equipment from the station and put it in the east wing, and then when the west wing was empty, Zhu Hongda quietly slipped in, installed a bugging device under the lamp in the bedroom, and then sneaked out.
But unfortunately, this action that he thought he was unaware did not escape the eyes of Mrs. Xue in the pavilion.
In the evening, after Yulin finished dinner, he sat on the single sofa in the bedroom and read the newspaper for a while, then took out the futon and pillow from the closet and carried it to the living room. There was no hesitation in the whole movement, and it seemed like a normal behavior.
Zhu Hongda saw this scene from the telescope and was even more surprised: If these two people have a conflict, it has been many days, are they still so angry?
He picked up his headphones and listened to the movement on the other side.
"I'll send some bone-setting wine to the fat aunt tomorrow."
"What's wrong with Fat Aunt?"
"The tiger boy told me that the fat aunt twisted her waist, and when she is old, she will inevitably have a sore back and legs."
"Yes, by the way, when are you going to come with me to see Yu'er and Ming'er?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow afternoon there is nothing to do at the newspaper office, I will ask the editor-in-chief Han for a leave, I can leave work from the newspaper office early, or you will also leave work early?"
"We have a lot of materials to sort out and file in our confidential room these days, and I may not be able to get it early, or we will go together after I get off work at five o'clock."
"Well, it's been a long time since we've seen these two kids."
"I don't know if the children's nutrition is enough, I think I'll buy two cans of milk powder tomorrow."
"I'll buy it, I'll wait for you near your Secrecy Bureau after I buy the milk powder."
"Okay, that's it."
"Well, go to bed early."
"You should go to bed early, too. Good night. ”
Subsequently, the lights in the west wing went out, Zhu Hongda took off the headphones, and analyzed the conversation between the two, judging from the tone, the relationship between the two is very good, but why do they sleep in separate beds?
Zhu Hongda shook his head, turned off the lights, collapsed on the bed, and continued to speculate.
In the afternoon, Yu Lin asked Editor-in-Chief Han for a leave, so he hurried to Yuxiang Tea Store and saw the fat aunt sitting in the store sorting out the tea leaves.
"Fat aunt, I'm here to see you." Yu Lin walked into the store: "I heard Tiger Boy say that your waist is twisted, and I brought you bone-setting wine." ”
"Alas, I'm old, this waist and legs, I don't listen to the call, yesterday I wanted to take a can of Tieguanyin from the shelf, but I didn't expect to turn around and almost fall off the ladder, fortunately the eldest nephew was here, so I didn't get into a big accident. I twisted my waist a little, and the tiger boy happened to come to see me, this kid, all the fuss, he told you about it, and asked you to run for it. The fat aunt didn't expect that her little thing would alarm Yulin, so Yulin came to see her, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't blame Tiger Boy, if he doesn't tell me and hides it from me, then I'll blame him. How's it going, is your waist better today? Yu Lin lowered his head and pressed the fat aunt's waist: "Is this here?" Does it still hurt? ”
"It's much better, yesterday, I couldn't walk, I felt pain when I fell asleep, and then my eldest nephew gave me a massage, and today, I don't hurt when I lie down, and it doesn't hurt when I walk." The eldest nephew really has two hits. "The fat aunt praised Mingfeng's clever technique and was able to get rid of the disease with his hands.
"Your eldest nephew has been practicing martial arts with his uncle since he was a child, and he is the best at treating bruises. Fat aunt, you take this bruising wine, if it still hurts, wipe it on the sore spot, if it doesn't hurt, hide it for later use. Yu Lin handed over the bone-setting wine to the fat aunt.
"You, use all your filial piety to your mother on me." The fat aunt said, wiping her tears with her sleeve.
Speaking of his mother, Yu Lin's heart seemed to be blocked with a big stone, and he took a deep breath: "Fat aunt, don't talk about it, when did your eldest nephew go out, did he say where he went over?" ”
"He said he was going to go outside and leave after lunch."
"Okay, I see, that fat aunt, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself." Yu Lin looked at the time, said goodbye to the fat aunt, and planned to buy milk powder first, and then go to the Secret Bureau to wait for Shuyan.
After leaving Yuxiang Tea Shop, Yulin came to the food store and bought two large cans of milk powder, which is now a sought-after commodity, not only at a high price, but also has to queue up to buy. Yulin finally got in line, and almost used up a month's salary to buy back these two cans of milk powder.
Yu Lin raised his hand, looked at his watch, it was already four o'clock, and walked towards the Shanghai Station of the Secret Bureau on Nanyang Road. I didn't expect to meet Mingfeng on Hartung Road.
"Hey, cousin, where are you going?" Yu Lin saw Ming Feng coming over and hurriedly greeted him.
"It's Rui, I'll go out and take a walk, let's go over there and talk for a while." Mingfeng took Yulin to a nearby park, and the two sat on a bench and talked.
"Mingfeng, I've been to the tea shop, and the fat aunt said that you came out after lunch, where did you go?" Yu Lin was worried that Mingfeng was unfamiliar with his life and that something had gone wrong.
"I walked around, familiarized myself with the environment, and by the way, I learned about the people's livelihood in Shanghai."
"How? Shanghai's roads are crisscrossed, and there are even more alleys, which is difficult to recognize. Yu Lin smiled at Ming Feng.
"Yes, the road in Shanghai is quite complicated, and I almost dizzy just now." Ming Feng shook his head, and indeed felt that the Shanghai road was intertwined with dogs, which was confusing.
"It's okay, just walk a few more times and you'll get acquainted. Mingfeng, what have you learned? ”
Mingfeng took a notice out of his pocket, unfolded it, and after flattening it, handed it to Yulin, who looked at it, it turned out to be the Shanghai Municipal Government's announcement "Economic Emergency Measures Plan", which read: Prohibit gold trading and foreign currency circulation.
"Mingfeng, where did you see that?" Yu Lin asked curiously.
"Right on the banks on the Bund, a large number of citizens are running there, and it feels like Shanghai's finances are going to collapse. You see, on this road, people are carrying bundles of money to buy things, inflation has reached an outrageous level, making the people miserable, I just passed by Mu'en Hall, where the queue for relief food is not in sight. The people of Shanghai are really living in dire straits. This also shows that the national government has been weakened and the general trend has gone. Ming Feng wandered around the streets of Shanghai for a long time, and he was already sensitively aware of the precarious situation of the Nationalist Government.
"Yes, the Jiang dynasty is crumbling." Yu Lin empathizes.
"Although the Jiang dynasty has rotted from the roots, it will also use Yingge and Yan Dance to whitewash the peace, have you noticed, the recent newspapers are full of various beauty pageant reports every day, what 'Miss Shanghai', 'Celebrity Beauty', Yu Lin, I hope that your colleagues in the press should take action first, expose this kind of real life of the people in the newspaper, don't let the people be confused by the singing and dancing on the surface."
"Mingfeng, your suggestion is very good, we should add a few firewood to this edifice that is about to collapse." Yu Lin raised his hand and looked at the time: "Mingfeng, then I'll go first." ”
"Hey, where are you going?" Ming Feng asked casually.
"I made an appointment with Shuyan to go to Yurong's place to watch the children."
"That's right, I'll go with you." Mingfeng also wanted to meet Yurong, Ah Cheng and the children.
"Okay, let's go together."
Tan Jingting has recently set his sights on Zhu Hongda and Xu Shuyan, and since he noticed the ambiguous relationship between Zhu Hongda and Xu Shuyan, he feels that he should pay close attention to these two people, because people in love are the most unguarded and often the most likely to stab Lou Zi. Although he did not suspect Zhu Hongda's collusion with the Communist Party, he heard Director Cao say that Shuxian's entry into the Shanghai Station of the Military Command was done by Zhu Hongda with his own party spirit, and he did not pass a very strict political examination, so Tan Jingting was still a little uneasy about this Xu Shuxian. The missing document 96 was found in the corner of the confidential room, could it have been intentional?
It's five o'clock, it's time to get off work, people are walking out of the building one after another, Tan Jingting's office window is facing the door, he saw Miss Xu walking towards the door, Tan Jingting looked out of the door with a telescope, he saw two tall men standing on the road opposite the gate who were talking, one was strong, the other was thin, the thin one was facing away from himself, and the sturdy one was facing the door, Tan Jingting felt that the back of this thin and tall man was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he took out his camera, Press the shutter on the two men across the road.
Shuyan saw that Mingfeng and Yulin were coming, and hurriedly ran two steps. The three met across the road. Tan Jingting hurriedly pressed the shutter a few times. The three of them left with a smile and a smile. Tan Jingting put the camera down, trying to recall the familiar back. Suddenly, he blurted out: "Xiao Linzi." ”
Tan Jingting hurriedly walked to the confidential room, and Cao Xiuying was about to get off work.
"Director Tan, are you looking for me?" Cao Xiuying saw Tan Jingting coming, so she stopped, Cao Xiuying had a good impression of Tan Jingting, maybe it was Tan Jingting's unsmiling coldness that attracted Cao Xiuying, an old girl.
"No, it's nothing, it's boring to be alone in the office and want to talk to someone." Tan Jingting looked around the confidential room and said casually.
"Director Tan, you also have boring times, I think in our station, except for the stationmaster, you are the busiest, and I can't see your shadow all day long." Cao Xiuying hurriedly complimented Tan Jingting.
"Director Cao laughed, how can I compare with the stationmaster, he is now in a hurry, and he is too busy to use his hands and feet." The corners of Tan Jingting's mouth went up.
"Is the stationmaster so busy?" Cao Xiuying was puzzled.
"You don't know, the stationmaster's original wife is here, and the stationmaster is inseparable from his confidante, who do you say he's not busy?" Tan Jingting sneered at Zhu Hongda.
"Director Tan, I can't see it, you're quite gossipy, and you still care about the stationmaster's private life?" Cao Xiuying began to joke about Tan Jingting.
"This is a common problem of our intelligence officers, observing everywhere and paying attention everywhere. Director Cao, what do you think of this Miss Xu? Isn't it particularly popular with men? Tan Jingting deliberately talked about Xu Shuxian.
"Isn't it because of the relationship with the stationmaster's college classmates that I came in, I'm already in my thirties, and I'm not young anymore, but I don't know why, our stationmaster will be fascinated by her like this, maybe Miss Xu is our stationmaster's first love, so she will never forget it."
"Oh? Miss Xu is the first love of our webmaster? Tan Jingting heard Cao Xiuying say this, which aroused his curiosity even more.
