spy sea tide life

Yangzi Lane.

The driver dropped Yang Denghuan and Ah Qi off and left.

The yard is not big, with two rooms, one bright and one dark. Outside the yard are bluestone steps leading down.

The mountain city is indeed worthy of its reputation.

At this time, Ah Qi was busy making the bed, folding the quilt, and arranging various daily necessities, just like a good wife and mother.

"Let's consider this as living together." Yang Denghuan stood in the yard, looking at the busy Ah Qi through the door, and said with a grin.

"You live in the big room and I live in the small room." Ah Qi said without raising his head.

"This may not be in line with the principles of underground work. All our actions must be consistent with our identity and be truthful," Yang Denghuan said seriously.

Ah Qi suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Denghuan. Yang Denghuan was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at himself.

"Don't tease me, I will take it seriously." After saying this, Ah Qi glanced at Yang Denghuan who was staying there, smiled, and then got busy.

"Women nowadays are so fierce." Yang Denghuan muttered in a low voice.

The phone in the room suddenly rang, and Yang Denghuan and Ah Qi were both stunned.

The two of them had just arrived here, who would call?

"It's most likely the director. You take it or I take it?" Ah Qi said.

"You answer it. I'm not familiar with it." After saying that, Yang Denghuan walked around in the yard, observing the surrounding environment.

After hanging up the phone, Ah Qi smiled and looked quite happy.

"Got promoted? You look so happy. We are just pretending to be a couple. It's not real." Yang Denghuan said jokingly.

"Director Dai wants to see us! This afternoon! At the Dai Mansion on Zhongshan 4th Road! The director wants to see us! It's Director Dai!" Ah Qi was so excited that he was even a little incoherent.

Yang Denghuan didn't understand. It was just Director Dai summoning him. Why did he react so strongly? He had met Director Dai before, but he was only a director at that time. It didn't seem like a big deal.

"I'm afraid we don't have time in the afternoon. We still have a lot of homework to do. Otherwise, you can go and give Director Dai a good message for me. I won't go." Yang Denghuan said calmly.

Ah Qi stared at Yang Denghuan with eyes wide open, as if he didn't know him. Yang Denghuan glanced at Ah Qi and said indifferently: "Why are you looking at me? I just use the time that others spend welcoming and seeing off people to analyze cases. That's why I'm called a detective."

"Virtue!" Ah Qi made a face at Yang Denghuan.

"So, young people, spend more time on your business and less on crooked ways. Even if you know Director Dai, if you don't have the ability, you will have no chance. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!" Yang Denghuan said in a more mature tone.

Ah Qi glanced at Yang Denghuan with disdain and did not answer. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves, stood on tiptoes, and turned around gently.

Before in Hangzhou, every time Ah Qi did such an activity, it was usually followed by a violent flurry of punches and kicks, and Yang Denghuan had long been accustomed to it.

At this moment, Ah Qi was in this position again. Yang Denghuan immediately understood and quickly dodged to the side. Ah Qi had already rushed out in one step. Yang Denghuan quickly swung his hands and said, "Ah Qi, let's talk it over, let's talk it over..."

Ah Qi stretched out his hands and grabbed Yang Denghuan's hands, tripped him, pulled Yang Denghuan to the ground, sat astride Yang Denghuan, grabbed Yang Denghuan's hands with one hand, and locked Yang Denghuan's throat with the other hand.

"Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong." Yang Denghuan, who was sitting on the bed, seemed to feel something. He begged for mercy and pushed his body up hard, trying to flip Ah Qi over.

"You were wrong? What was wrong?" Ah Qi clamped his legs together tightly, and Yang Denghuan could no longer move at all.

"I'll go. I can go, right? Actually, I was just joking. I didn't say I really wouldn't go. I was just teasing you." Yang Denghuan was sandwiched by Ah Qi and couldn't use any strength, so he could only say.

"Tease me? Okay, keep playing! Why don't you play anymore?" Ah Qi sat on Yang Denghuan twice as if he was riding a horse.

Yang Denghuan is a man, and a young man full of vigor and vitality. He is at the age full of blood and passion. How could he bear this? His face immediately turned red.

Ah Qi seemed to have sensed Yang Denghuan's reaction as well. He jumped up like a frightened deer and stared at Yang Denghuan with a red face.

"It turns out you're not a good person either!" Ah Qi cursed in a low voice with a red face, then turned around and went into the room to make the bed.

"I'm not a good person either? Besides me, who else is not a good person? Cao Youguang?" Yang Denghuan murmured to himself in a low voice.

Ah Qi said nothing, blushed as he made the bed, then carried another set of sheets and quilt covers to another room.

Yang Denghuan coughed awkwardly and said something else: "When are we going to see Director Dai this afternoon?"

"I don't know. Director Cao will send a car to pick us up when the time comes." Ah Qi said with an indifferent tone, lacking the enthusiasm just now.

"Oh." Yang Denghuan agreed, and then said, "We have to ask Lao Cao to give us a car, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to work."

Ah Qi didn't respond and just lowered his head to work.

Just when it was awkward, there were two knocks on the door.

"Look, Old Cao is here." Yang Denghuan thought to himself, this Cao Youguang came in time this time, otherwise it would have been too awkward between him and Ah Qi.

"Here they come! Here they come!" Yang Deng walked over happily, stretched out his hand to open the gate. Outside the gate was a child dressed as a waiter, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, from which bursts of fragrance came.

"Who are you? Is Sister Qi here?" The waiter asked timidly when he saw that it was Yang Denghuan who opened the door.

"Aqi, your friend." Yang Denghuan turned around and shouted.

Ah Qi said that the voice came over, and when he saw the young man, he smiled, took the bamboo basket and handed over a coin.

"The boss said that I can't ask for money." The young man said while dodging his hands.

"Just take it if I tell you to! This is for you to buy candy! Don't give it to your boss. If he dares to ask you for it, tell your sister and I will take care of him!" Ah Qi said with a smile.

"Sister, don't say that. Boss Wang is very good to me. He provides me with meals every day and gives me five copper coins in pocket money every month." The little worker said contentedly.

"Go." Ah Qi touched the boy's head and said lovingly.

The boy ran away laughing and jumped down the stairs. Ah Qi said from behind with concern: "Be careful! This kid is always so reckless!"

Watching the boy skipping away, Ah Qi put away the smile on his face, frowned, and carried the bamboo basket into the yard.

"Who is this child?" Yang Denghuan asked as he walked in and closed the gate.

"The waiter at Louwailou Restaurant is named Ah Fu. The director and I sometimes go there to eat. The kid is quite smart and likable. It should be Director Cao who asked Louwailou to deliver lunch to us." Ah Qi said calmly.

"He's already working at such a young age? Where are the child's parents?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"Killed by a Japanese plane." Ah Qi said expressionlessly. "Dead..." Yang Denghuan was shocked and said involuntarily.

"There are so many children like this in Shancheng! This child is relatively lucky! After all, there are people who take him in. There are countless homeless children who are even more pitiful!"

Ah Qi was even more excited when he said this. He stared at Yang Denghuan with eyes wide open. His face was no longer charming and playful. He said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Japanese army can bomb the mountain city recklessly is that we do not have air superiority. With the current air force, we cannot form an effective resistance! Secondly, there are too many traitors and Japanese spies! They provide signals and targets for Japanese planes, allowing them to bomb us effectively! There are 'shadows' here, and there are many spies like 'shadows'!"

Yang Denghuan was speechless. Ah Qi sighed, cleaned the table, put the bamboo basket on it, let out a long sigh, and said lightly: "Let's eat, and take a rest after dinner."

As he spoke, Ah Qi took out the food from the bamboo basket one by one.

"Louwailou, a genuine Sichuan cuisine. But the taste seems to be a little worse now." After Ah Qi had arranged the dishes, he served rice to Yang Denghuan while speaking.

"Why?" Yang Denghuan asked casually with a bitter taste in his mouth.

"The chef was killed in the Japanese air raid." Ah Qi said lightly.

"I will catch 'Shadow'! I will try my best to eliminate the Japanese spy network in the mountain city." Yang Denghuan said seriously.

"I believe it." Ah Qi nodded, pointed at the diving rabbit on the table and said, "Louwailou's signature dish, diving rabbit, will never be available again once you leave Shancheng."

The lunch was a bit depressing. After that, neither Yang Denghuan nor Ah Qi spoke again. They finished their meal in a hurry and Ah Qi put the bamboo basket aside.

"Let me... help." Yang Denghuan said in a low voice.

"No need." Ah Qi turned away from Yang Denghuan's outstretched hand, pointed his chin at the desk in the corner of the room, and said, "Over there, we have the information on all the Japanese spies in custody. If you're not tired, you might as well start from there."

"I dare not be tired. I come here to work." Yang Deng muttered with a smile and walked towards the desk.

Ah Qi looked at Yang Denghuan with a hint of a smile on his face.

Yang Denghuan looked at the thick pile of information on the table and thought to himself that Cao Youguang was very well prepared this time!

Why did Cao Youguang do this? Why did Ah Qi say this to him? This shows that the higher-ups attach great importance to this Japanese spy codenamed "Shadow" and that time is running out!

The reason is simple: the Japanese spies are too harmful to the mountain city! The sooner they are eliminated, the sooner we will be safe.

Moreover, according to experience, if you catch one Japanese spy, you can usually catch a bunch of them, and if you catch a bunch of them, you might be able to uncover a network!
It seems that the higher-ups also want to take advantage of this "Shadow" opportunity to eliminate the spy threat in the mountain city!

Yang Denghuan casually flipped through the documents and instantly immersed himself in work. Seeing this, Ah Qi did not disturb him. He just came over quietly and placed a cup of tea next to Yang Denghuan, turned around and left, busying himself.

Jingle Bell……

The phone rang, Yang Denghuan was startled and looked up.

Ah Qi had already answered the phone. Yang Denghuan stood up, stretched, crossed his hands and pushed them forward, and let out a long breath.

"The director will come to pick us up in twenty minutes." Ah Qi said after putting down the phone.

"I don't know how long I've been watching it, but my back aches and my legs are cramping, so it's a good time to take a break. No one will feel sorry for me anyway, so I can only feel sorry for myself!" Yang Deng said with a smile.

"You kid can't be serious for a while, how about I give you a massage?" Ah Qi crossed his hands and made a clicking sound.

"Forget it. I know you are a tough guy." Yang Denghuan said with a wry smile.

Ah Qi smiled and said, "The director will be here soon, you should clean up."

"What are you packing for? Aren't you going to meet the director? This is not a blind date." Yang Denghuan said puzzledly.

"You have to think about how to report to the director! You have to make a contingency plan or something!" Ah Qi said.

"What kind of plan? We haven't even started yet! Now we just need to show our determination and give our guarantee to the director." Yang Denghuan said in a dignified manner.

Ah Qi was shocked and said quickly, "Yang Denghuan, I have to remind you that when you make a promise, take it easy and don't talk nonsense! In front of the director, you have to keep your promise!"

"I know! How could I not know?" Yang Denghuan said carelessly.

"You... aren't you afraid of the director?" Ah Qi asked.

"Why should I be afraid? The director is respected. What's there to be afraid of?" Yang Denghuan said seriously.

Ah Qi realized that he might have said something wrong, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I also respect the director, I am not afraid."

Seeing Ah Qi's expression change, Yang Denghuan realized that he might have gone too far in his joke, and quickly said, "It's normal to be a little scared. It's because of respect that one is afraid!"

Ah Qi glanced at Yang Denghuan, turned away and ignored him.

Yang Denghuan said to himself helplessly: "It's over, I've made up my mind again."

"You guy, can't I just talk to you nicely!" Ah Qi said dissatisfiedly.

The two of them were talking and packing up their things at the same time. Ah Qi was busy putting on makeup in front of the mirror, having a lot of fun. Before long, twenty minutes had passed.

Outside the courtyard gate, the sound of a car beeping seemed to be urging the two of them.

"coming!"

"The director is here."

Yang Denghuan and Ah Qi said almost in unison.

inside the car.

Cao Youguang drove the car himself and slowly went down the small road.

"It's like this in a mountain city. Sometimes it seems very close, but it takes most of the day to get around. I personally think that driving in a mountain city is faster than taking a sedan chair." Cao Youguang said with a smile in the cab.

"Then you have to provide me with a car. I can't always ride in a sedan chair!" Yang Denghuan said in the back seat.

"I know, I know! I'll ask Yansheng to send it to you later." Cao Youguang said.

"Well, that's about right." Yang Denghuan nodded.

"Have you read the file? What's the situation? Do you need to send a few people over to help?" Cao Youguang asked.

"We haven't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry? Things like this have to be done slowly, don't be impatient, kid." Yang Denghuan said proudly.

"Don't say that when you see the director later!" Cao Youguang glanced at the Dai Mansion not far away and said with some concern. (End of this chapter)
