Double Agent Saga

From this day on, Lu Zetai has been in tension.He always felt that his house was being watched.Every evening, he stood by the window, watching the pedestrians and vendors in the small street.

Now, looking at his watch, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.He touched the money in his pocket, picked up the cloth bag on the table, and went out.

He walked slowly down the street.Every time he turned a corner, he watched carefully behind him to see if anyone was following him.But he has not found anything unusual.He was waiting for the bus on the side of the street, looking up at the stop sign intently.

The bus roared to a stop, but he still looked at the stop sign.The people waiting for the car have already boarded the car.When he saw that the car door was about to close, he suddenly thought of it and stepped up.Then he looked nervously out of the car door.No one followed the car, and no one stared at him.At this time, he was a little relieved.

He got off the car one stop away from the Yangtze River Shipping Company, and turned into a side street.He stopped in front of a small snack shop, stood behind a few customers, and looked behind him casually.No one stopped or turned around behind them, everyone walked naturally.The customers in front of him finished their shopping and left.He moved to the counter and bought ten steamed buns, ten pancakes, and some pickles.He thought about it, counted the money in his pocket, and bought another pack of Xin beef.

He put all the food into the cloth bag and walked to the gate of the Yangtze River Shipping Company.

At this time, it was completely dark.He's working the night shift in the warehouse tonight, so it's totally normal for him to come in through the company gates.Of course, except for the cloth bag he held in his arms.But at this time, the people who are going to get off work have already left, and there is no one in the company anymore.

He turned a few corners and walked towards the innermost part of the company.A big house like a factory appeared in front of it.The custodian from the day shift was waiting for him at the door.The man waved him a hand and walked the other way.

Lu Zetai entered the warehouse gate, closed the door carefully, bolted it, and walked inside.In the innermost part of the warehouse, behind a large row of shelves, there is a small door with an iron lock on it.He looked around to confirm that no one was there, took out the key from his pocket, opened the lock, and slipped in silently.

He went down a flight of stairs in the dark and turned into a small corridor.A light was on in the corridor, bleak and dim, as if in hell.It used to be a warehouse, but it was too damp inside, so I gave up.He has the key to this basement, which makes this place his exclusive domain.

He gently pushed open a small door, and immediately saw the four men in the room looking at him with terrified eyes.

The basement was damp and cool, with water stains on the walls and floor.A small lamp was dimly yellow.

Lu Zetai knew that the name of the leading man was Wei Mingshui, but he didn't know the names of the others, and he didn't want to know.According to the telegram from the headquarters, these four people came here with a mission.He hoped that they would complete the task as soon as possible and get out of here as soon as possible.If they don't leave, he's always in danger.

There are no beds in this basement, but there are tall shelves.The four of them slept on the shelves.By this time, they were still looking at him with a cold and suspicious look.

Lu Zetai put the bulging cloth bag on the only table in the house and said, "You guys eat."

The four men finally got up and walked to the table, sat on the wooden box, took out food from the cloth bag, and began to eat big mouthfuls.

Wei Mingshui nodded to Lu Zetai and said, "That's right, you bought some meat today."

Lu Zetai was too lazy to answer this question.He sat by the wall, smoking a cigarette in silence.After a while, he said like a ghost: "Someone will come tonight to give you a mission."

The four men stopped talking, as if they had been sentenced to death, they stared at him dumbfounded.

Wei Mingshui swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a gloomy face, "Why do we still have a mission? We received an order to retreat, so we came to you. What mission do we have here?"

Lu Zetai shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation. Just wait, the person who asks will know."

"Who will give the task?" Wei Mingshui continued to ask.

"I don't know. Just wait, he should be here in a while." Lu Zetai stared at him indifferently.

The four men sitting at the table lost their appetite and stared at each other silently.

The four of Wei Mingshui went separately and gathered in Nanjing after going around a big circle.All they have been thinking about is to get out of here as soon as possible.Wei Mingshui knew without thinking that people from the Public Security Bureau must be tracking them everywhere, and they may soon be tracking them to Nanjing.But, damn it, they are still asked to perform some mission here, this is simply asking them to die!

However, he is also very clear about the current situation.Their fate is in the hands of people in Nanjing.If they refuse to carry out the task, it may be difficult to get out of here.

At this time, Gu Zhanbiao grabbed a handful of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, saying: "Damn, eat it quickly! You can't be a starving ghost if you die! Old Wei, let me tell you, if it's easy to do, let's do it!" If it’s not good, let’s get out of here as soon as possible!”

Wei Mingshui glared at him, but didn't speak.But he was thinking in his mind.One thing is for sure, he will never do anything that will kill him!

About an hour later, Lu Zetai glanced at his watch and quietly walked out of the basement.Ten minutes later, he led Tu Hexiang into the basement.

Wei Mingshui stared at Tu Hexiang.In any case, their current hiding place was provided by Tu Hexiang.At least on this point, Tu Hexiang did not deceive them.But now, he also understands.Tu Hexiang arranged for them to retreat here, not for them to retreat, but for them to perform new tasks here.It was this that made him suspicious.

Tu Hexiang had a smile on his face, as if he wanted to get closer to the people in the room.He took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed each of them a cigarette, and said, "Keep eating, let's talk after you finish eating, don't worry."

But Wei Mingshui was very anxious and uneasy.He must figure out the current situation and strive to control his own destiny.This is the most important point.

He wiped his mouth and put the cigarette Tu Hexiang gave him in his mouth.But his matches were a bit damp, and he cut a few matches without igniting them.It was Tu Hexiang who lit his cigarette with his own lighter and put the lighter in front of him.

He said: "This lighter is very useful, you can keep it."

Wei Mingshui took a deep puff of cigarette, stared at Tu Hexiang cautiously, "Okay, tell me."

Tu Hexiang looked at the four men at the table one by one, and of course noticed their doubts and anxieties that were not hidden.He knew what to say in such a situation.

He tried to smile and said softly, "Mr. Wei, you are safe now. That's number one." It's important to be clear about this first.He also saw that the people at the table had no objection to this.He went on to say: "Second, the instructions given by the headquarters are to retreat, which is very clear. But there are two ways to retreat, one is to lurk in a different place, and the other is to withdraw to Hong Kong. What is your opinion?"

Wei Mingshui immediately understood that withdrawing to Hong Kong is of course the best choice, but there must be a price to pay.This price is the task they will perform, whether they can save their lives!

He said calmly: "Mr. Tu, of course we will act according to the orders of the headquarters, and we also believe that the headquarters will make the best arrangements for us. You don't have to go around the bush, just talk about the key point."

Tu Hexiang smiled at him, "Mr. Wei really puts the overall situation first. Let me tell you, the headquarters also knows that Mr. Wei will put the overall situation first, so they trust you very much. The headquarters hopes that you can go to Hong Kong."

Wei Mingshui smiled darkly, "There is a 'but' behind it, right?

Tu Hexiang immediately said: "It's not a 'but', it's a 'just'. The headquarters also hopes that you will complete a mission in Nanjing before going to Hong Kong. The headquarters attaches great importance to this mission."

Wei Mingshui said, "Okay, tell me what the task is."

Tu Hexiang nodded to everyone at the table, and said softly, "You Shaoqing has also come to Nanjing."

This situation surprised Wei Mingshui, "Why? What is she doing in Nanjing?"

Tu Hexiang said: "Because her sister, a woman named Zuo Shaoqing, also came to Nanjing. The mission given to you by the headquarters is to eliminate this Zuo Shaoqing by any means. Mr. Wei, after you arrive in Hong Kong, you will be in charge of Important positions. The others will also receive heavy rewards from the headquarters. This is your task. Have I made it clear?"

Wei Mingshui looked at him in surprise, "Mr. Tu, that Zuo Shaoqing you mentioned, why did she come to Nanjing? To follow us?"

In fact, this is also a question that Tu Hexiang has considered.He guessed that Zuo Shaoqing's target might be Mr. "Shui".But he didn't want to voice the thought.He said: "I don't know why she came to Nanjing. It may be related to you, or it may not be related. But the order of the headquarters is very clear, that is to destroy her!"

Wei Mingshui still didn't understand, "Why? Is she so important?"

Tu Hexiang said: "I don't know the specific reason. But this is the task I went to Wuhan. In order to complete this task, the headquarters will spare no effort. You must complete it!" He said the last sentence very forcefully.

Wei Mingshui stared at him, "Mr. Tu, why didn't you talk about this situation when you were in Wuhan?"

Tu Hexiang looked at him calmly, and said softly: "Mr. Wei, the reason is very simple, because You Shaoqing is by your side. Do you dare to tell her that you want to kill her sister?"

It was only at this time that Wei Mingshui finally understood.The headquarters repeatedly asked about their hiding place, not to harm their group, but to find You Shaoqing's sister.
