Chapter 445 Can’t Leave
"what happened?"
Wu Youxiang's eyes were cold, he kept staring at Meng Ting'en,
"Did he find you?"
Meng Tingen frowned slightly, his face was distressed.
"No, I just smoked a cigarette outside and then hid in the ward."
"Snapped!"
Wu Youxiang's face darkened, his eyes filled with anger. He slammed the table and stood up.
"You guys are so lax in carrying out your mission, and you even go out to smoke..."
Meng Ting'en didn't dare to speak and lowered his head to be scolded.
Wu Youhao didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly asked Meng Ting'en,
"Has your family arranged a marriage for you?"
Meng Tingen was confused and didn't know why he said this, so he could only say honestly:
"If I eat enough, my whole family will not be hungry. Who will worry about my marriage?"
Wu Youxiang heard this and waved his hands in disgust.
"Okay, let's get out!"
The leaves gradually turned yellow and fell from the treetops, and the first snow arrived.
Lin Ruotang put on a black coat and she still walked around the offices every day.
Seeing that no one was in Wei Sheng's office, she asked Roger next to her,
"Captain of the Guard, are you late again today?"
Roger nodded slightly and whispered to Lin Ruotang:
"Ok!"
"The captain of the guard doesn't care about these..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wei Sheng coming in and immediately changed his words.
"I'm going back to work!"
After he left, Lin Ruotang turned to look at Wei Sheng, frowning.
"Captain of the Guard, are you late again?"
"So what if I'm late!"
After Wei Sheng finished speaking, he walked into the office and closed the door directly.
Just as Lin Ruotang was about to say something, Sun Yizheng's secretary came down.
"Inspector Lin, Station Chief Sun is calling you to a meeting!"
When everyone arrived, Sun Yizheng looked at them.
"A lot of things happened during this period. Although Qian Fang died, the leaders above us were not disappointed. This shows that we did the right thing."
Lin Ruotang's eyes flashed. Even if he let the Red Party members go, he couldn't let his old rival gain merit. This was the unspoken rule that always existed in the Bureau of Secrets.
"We've got some good news today. The higher-ups have received a secret letter, saying they've got information about the Red Party's liaison captain, codenamed 'Partridge,' who's in Tianjin. Not only that, they also say this 'Partridge' has a very mysterious lead. If we catch 'Partridge', we'll be able to dig out this clue!"
After Sun Yizheng finished speaking, he slapped the table.
"Snapped!"
Lin Ruotang's heart skipped a beat. The people in the Secret Service were trained strictly as much as possible, so there was naturally no shortage of talent. However, Lin Ruotang had not expected that they could obtain such confidential information. Logically speaking, not many people would know that Partridge had a connection.
She and Xie Wuwei looked at each other, and the first thing they thought of was whether there was someone from the Secret Service around Bai Zhu.
This made the two of them worried, but what was more worrying at the moment was the 'Partridge'.
As long as 'Partridge' wasn't spotted, they were safe.
Xie Wuwei's eyes flashed. The best way now was to send "Partridge" away. After all, he had been exposed.
Things won't be as simple as they think.
Lin Ruotang came to the bookstore and found Guo Tao, who was wiping the counter.
"The weather is getting colder. Oh, and the book you asked me to keep an eye out for last time has finally arrived. Is it this one?"
Lin Ruotang looked up at Guo Tao. This was a secret signal. Guo Tao told her that they had another mission.
Lin Ruotang took the book, looked at the light snow falling outside, touched the book and said:
"There are people from the Secret Service behind the scenes. 'Partridge' has been discovered, and they even know of my existence..."
Hearing this, Guo Tao's face darkened. He knew that the best way was to leave on his own, but he had just received an important task and could not find anyone to take over for the time being.
"After a while, Mr. Chen will return to Tianjin to retire. We have received news that the Kuomintang wants to send him to Chongqing."
"Mr. Chen made many important suggestions during the Anti-Japanese War and even donated most of his fortune to the army. He also previously worked in weapons research and development. He has many students and a profound influence. Moreover, his second son has been working in the rear of our party."
Lin Ruotang understood. Not to mention Mr. Chen's identity as a patriot, just his own strength was enough to make everyone fight over him.
After all, no one can refuse a capable and experienced expert in weapons research and development.
"I want to leave Tianjin with Mr. Chen!"
Hearing Guo Tao's words, Lin Ruotang frowned slightly.
"That sounds difficult!"
"Yes, Mr. Chen is not someone who is easily persuaded. He is a nonpartisan. Even though his eldest son and second son are on both sides, he has not clearly stated his support for either side."
After Guo Tao finished speaking, he said to Lin Ruotang:
"I think his eldest son in Chongqing will also send someone to lobby him."
Lin Ruotang thought of something and asked with hope in his eyes:
"Did we send anyone over to lobby?"
Guo Tao sighed when he heard this, and Lin Ruotang had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, I heard Guo Tao continue to say:
"Chen Zhong said that he was kicked out of the house in the first place. If Mr. Chen sees him, he will probably beat him out. It doesn't make much sense for him to send someone to lobby."
"So, you want us to kidnap that old man and take him back?"
Lin Ruotang said with a bad face that the difference was huge and it would be difficult for them to convince Mr. Chen to leave.
"That's not the case. Let's just wait and see. We have a high chance of success. I've also heard that Mr. Chen seems dissatisfied with his eldest son."
Lin Ruotang frowned. What was Mr. Chen thinking? He was dissatisfied with his eldest son and disliked his second son. How could they start to do anything about it?
If they really used force, it wouldn't be so troublesome, but the old man has been respected all his life, so how could he bear this humiliation? If something happened, it would be terrible if they failed to complete their mission and got into trouble.
Lin Ruotang looked up and saw someone entering the bookstore. She said to Guo Tao,
"Let me think about it first."
When Lin Ruotang returned home, Xie Wuwei immediately handed her a hot water bottle. Lin Ruotang held the hot water bottle and sat tiredly on the sofa.
Xie Wuwei rubbed her shoulders and asked softly:
"What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Lin Ruotang looked up at Xie Wuwei, her eyes confused for a moment. She didn't know if she could have persisted for so long if Xie Wuwei was not by her side?
After a moment, her eyes became clear and she said to Xie Wuwei:
"Guo Tao can't leave anytime soon. Mr. Chen wants to return to Tianjin to retire. His eldest son wants to persuade him to go to Chongqing, and our organization also wants Guo Tao to take him back to the rear."
Xie Wuwei sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
"It's not easy. Can't this be resolved in a short time? I heard that the old man is very stubborn."
"What should we do now? Guo Tao is in such danger. Who will go and convince Mr. Chen?"
After Lin Ruotang asked, Xie Wuwei laughed.
"Don't forget I'm here. Leave this matter to me."
Seeing Lin Ruotang's puzzled expression, he analyzed it for Lin Ruotang and said:
"When Mr. Chen comes back, he will definitely need someone to protect him. I will personally arrange that..."
