Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1948 Betrayal
As night fell, the people in the dormitory were still snoring, obviously sleeping soundly.

Not only that, there was constant snoring sound all around.

I guess we can skip the meal tonight, but I don’t know if anyone will get hungry in the middle of the night.

crunch
The door of the room next to Yang Xiaotao opened.

Xiaobo walked out from inside.

Out of habit, I got up from the bed and walked around.

Looking at the sky gradually being shrouded by darkness, I felt an indescribable sadness in my heart.

There is a telephone here.

But he did not report his whereabouts to Yu Zecheng.

He couldn't believe what the reason was even when he told it himself.

He actually doubted his comrades and even his leader, Yu Zecheng.

It sounds ridiculous, but this series of events was too coincidental.

It was such a coincidence, as if I was the one who was bumping into others.

Otherwise, Yang Xiaotao was so lucky that he would have been buried in an urn long ago.

Sitting on the steps at the door, Xiaobo picked up a cigarette and lit it. His heart was like rising smoke, impossible to grasp or see through!
"I can't sleep!"

There were footsteps nearby, followed by a familiar voice.

"There's a lot to eat at noon, and I'm really lucky to be here this time!"

Hao Pingchuan patted his belly and sat aside, his voice loud and clear.

"Anything on your mind?"

Seeing that Xiaobo ignored him, Hao Pingchuan asked.

"no!"

"Nonsense! You're just about to write it all over your face!"

Hao Pingchuan looked as if he could see through it.

"Oh, I always feel like something is wrong!"

Xiaobo realized that he couldn't hide it from the other party, so he spoke out his worries.

"Hey, I thought it was something."

"In my opinion, this is a good thing. It will benefit the whole world by removing a cancer."

"Don't feel sad for those traitors. They are more harmful than the enemy."

"If you find it, just cut it off!"

Hao Pingchuan said this nonchalantly. Xiaobo was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and smiled, "You're right."

"We weren't on the same boat!"

"What's there to say?"

Snapped

Hao Pingchuan patted Xiaobo on the shoulder and said, "I want to know when the mission will be completed."

"If he continues like this, he will go to Pengcheng today and Quancheng tomorrow. If he continues at this speed, when will I be able to return to Shanghai?"

"I'm still waiting to go back and take credit for this."

As he spoke, he looked up to the sky and sighed, looking at the stars above his head, feeling dazzled.

"I think you are just talking, but you are being provided with food and drinks, and you are also being rewarded with rewards. You must be very happy in your heart."

Xiaobo laughed, and Hao Pingchuan glanced at him, "You talk as if you're not."

"Haha, you've seen through it."

"Then what else did you say!"

The two leaned against each other, waiting for tomorrow to come.

Four Nine Cities.

Gotzenfsky picked up the cigar on the table, and as his cheeks moved, clouds of smoke came out, quickly filling the air.

On the opposite side, Canon had a sinister look on his face. He held the gold-rimmed glasses in his hand and lowered his head to wipe them carefully.

Next to the two of them, Chirvonenko was standing there with an anxious look on his face. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, hitting the floor and matching the sound of his cigar smoking, creating a unique tone in the room.

The three of them were either sitting or standing, all in silence.

The depressing atmosphere makes it hard to breathe.

"I will report this matter to the director!"

After a long while, Canon put his glasses back on, his face showing his original modesty and kindness.

And what I said is also the most correct answer at the moment.

The matter is serious, so of course he has to report it.

As for how to report it, that is his business.

However, the two were sure that the other party would pick them off completely.

In the end, besides Chirvonenko, Gotzenvsky also took the blame.

After all, he was the one who issued the task.

“I’ll report it too!”

Gotzenfsky responded in kind.

There was a certain tit-for-tat in the words.

In fact, all the decisions he made were delivered to Canon by Chirvonenko. The difference was that Canon never gave a positive answer from beginning to end.

At least, he has no relevant documents.

What the two said caused great harm to Chirvonenko.

This seems like they are going to push him out to calm down the anger!

But how could he be willing?

Seeing that the two stopped talking, Chirvonenko gritted his teeth and said, "Can we solve this problem in other ways?"

What Chirvonenko was talking about was naturally negotiations.

After all, the two sides still need to maintain a harmonious relationship on the surface.

After hearing this, Gotzenfsky just flicked his cigar and said nothing.

Canon shook his head, "If it's just a gray sparrow, it's possible."

“But this time!”

"We must give an explanation!"

Kanon said coldly, looking at Chirvonenko with a cold look.

This guy has been here for so long that has his brain been infected by the ignorant people here?
I really thought that the other party was still the good student he used to be!

idiot!

Canon took a deep breath, frowned, and felt very annoyed!

It happened so suddenly that they couldn't react.

The first news they received was that the gray sparrow was caught, which surprised the three of them.

The graybird has been very stable since it came here.

Moreover, she didn't have many tasks, nor did she have to collect much important information. How could she be suddenly arrested?
Before they could understand the situation, some students in the school were restrained and their homes were probably even searched.

Among them, Alex, who was currently serving them, was arrested.

They hadn't figured out which link had gone wrong yet, when they received the news.

The ace they had arranged with great difficulty into the "relevant department" had lost contact.

Red crow, red crow.

Over the years, Hong Wu has been lurking well, and because of his position, he can always obtain valuable information.

This successfully prevented many comrades from being discovered.

And he has contributed to this action on hybrid rice.

But even such a person has lost contact.

Not only him, but also the people who had contact with him disappeared.

In this situation, the result is clear at a glance. "Don't think about it, the other party is not an elementary school student!"

Gotzenfsky spoke coldly.

He was also puzzled by the exposure of Hongwu. Could it be that the other party had important information?

Or did they also have spies on the other side?

Thinking of this, Gotzenfsky glanced at Canon and thought that this guy might have thought of the same thing.

Looks like it's time to clean the house again!

"The other party has indeed grown very fast in recent years!"

Canon also glanced at Gozenvsky and said coldly.

"Let's wait for the other party's news on this matter!"

"but!"

"Chirvonenko, the most important thing right now is to find out the cause of the exposure. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of our comrades!"

Chirvonenko straightened his back. "Yes, sir! I'll go find it right away!"

After saying this, Chirvonenko turned and left.

In the room, Gozenvsky no longer took long puffs. Instead, he took slow inhalations and exhaled gently, letting the cigar smoke stay in his mouth as he enjoyed the taste of the smoke.

Canon frowned slightly. He was a self-disciplined man.

I usually drink a little alcohol, but I won’t guzzle vodka like most people.

As for cigarettes, he basically doesn't smoke.

"The other party won't let go of this opportunity!"

Canon spoke first.

Even in terms of position, he is slightly higher.

Gotzenwitzki just blew out smoke rings and said nothing.

Canon didn't say much when he saw this. The two of them were not on the same path to begin with, and the only way they could cooperate was for their common interests.

Now, all the targeted actions have ended in failure, and an ace has been lost, and the basis for cooperation is gone.

When he reached the door, Canon stopped.

"Things here are over. I will return to the alliance tomorrow."

Gotzenfsky remained silent!
"By the way, keep the woman you brought back from Japan last time!"

“The director is very concerned!”

crunch
patter
The door closes.

Gotzenfsky, however, forgot to smoke, and the smoke in his mouth came out of his nose.

cough cough cough

After a burst of coughing, Gotzenwitzky touched his bald head, a painful smile appeared on his face, and his heart ached slightly.

"Alyosha, it's you!"

"good very good…"

"As expected, you are the best, Swallow!"

……

"Mr. Smith, our operation has failed."

Imperial Hotel, in the presidential suite.

Smith sat in the chair again, but this time no woman left the room and there was no special smell.

Of course, this may have something to do with his self-knowledge.

After days of hard work, I feel a little weak and a little overwhelmed.

So before Jack came in, he was still thinking about whether he should save his energy and prepare for the next time.

Without the hard work of playing music day and night, Smith looked much better than usual.

"Failed? Isn't this normal?"

Smith said indifferently, pouring a glass of white wine and handing it to Jack, "We didn't have too many expectations in the first place."

"Yes, sir."

Jack still wanted to say something. Although they were killing someone by borrowing someone else's knife, the failure of the action would mean the success of the other party.

Especially the information on hybrid rice, which is very valuable for research.

If we can obtain it, it will be a credit to the country.

"No buts."

"You have to know what our primary goal is."

Smith clinked his goblet against Jack's. "So what if the yield is 1,000 kilograms per mu? Do you know how many people are here?"

"Their per capita arable land area is less than one percent of ours, which means that the food their family eats may only be your monthly food ration, or even less than what we feed our pigs and dogs."

"Do you think it makes sense?"

Jack took a sip from the goblet and finally frowned slightly, "What kind of wine is this? Why does it smell like alcohol?"

"Hahaha, as expected. I was wondering how people in Hong Kong could make good wine. Only those conservative British people thought it was fine wine."

Smith smiled happily, as if he had found a confidant, and then poured the wine into the ashtray next to him.

"You're right, this wine only goes well with dirty cigarette ashes."

George then poured out the wine and put the goblet aside, his expression no longer serious.

"Sir, if we calculate according to what you said, even if the yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms, it is not enough for their population, not to mention that they are still trying to give birth."

Smith smiled and nodded, "Let's talk about something happy."

"This is the news from Wade. Look, the people in the southeast have agreed to the conditions proposed by the empire. From now on, trade will be blocked and imports will be prohibited."

"Also, this is a medical research report from China. It says that the mortality rate of this disease will decrease as it mutates. After next year, it will become a common cold."

“By then, domestically developed antibiotics will be able to cure it.”

"This so-called Peninsula Hospital no longer has any need to exist."

Smith said as Jack looked at the report carefully.

Every time I finish reading one, I smile a little more.

Finally put the report down.

"Sir, I think we can talk to the Portuguese now."

Jack said affirmatively.

Smith nodded with satisfaction, then went to the wine cabinet and took out a glass of whiskey, walked to the table next to him, picked up two glasses, poured a third of them, and placed them in front of him.

"Dear Jack, do you know why I prefer to communicate with you instead of that stupid Wade?"

Smith imitated Wade's shaking body, which looked very funny, but Jack laughed and said, "Because I'm smarter than him."

"Correct!"

Smith said happily, and they both raised their glasses.

"I've called the Governor here."

“Before the Chinese New Year, they will evict the people from Peninsula Hospital.”

Jack laughed, "Really? Do they have the guts to do that? There are a lot of people in there."

"We just need a reason, don't we?"

"Sir, your wisdom is beyond people's understanding. I think it is necessary to tell them."

Smith laughed again. "But dear Jack, I don't trust those Portuguese people."

"Sir, I understand. I'll cheer them up."

Jack drank the whiskey and said, "In that case, sir, I will not disturb your rest."

After saying that, Jack stood up and left.

When the door was closed, two girls walked in.

Smith stared for a moment, then finished the wine.

"Damn it Jack, I hate your cleverness!!!"
