Chapter 269 Bad News
After the banquet, everyone's life seemed to return to normal.
However, Lin Ruotang received an unexpected call from Niu Batian, who had been preparing to fade out of people's sight.
"Miss Lin!"
Lin Ruotang received a call at home. She glanced at Aunt Wang who was cleaning and said calmly:
"You're calling so late at night, what's the matter?"
Niu Batian's tone was a little strange, and a little excited.
"Someone's coming to visit us, and we're inviting you and Deputy Captain Xie to come over and have a get-together!"
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang had an idea. Someone came to his house, from his hometown. Could it be Hu Sanjiu who came back?
She pondered in her heart and continued to answer Niu Batian.
"Okay, I'll come with Xie Wuwei when he comes back."
Lin Ruotang hung up the phone, turned around and said to Aunt Wang:
"Aunt Wang, you don't have to cook for us tonight. Xie Wuwei and I are going to eat at a friend's house."
Aunt Wang didn't notice anything wrong and nodded honestly.
"Got it, ma'am!"
When Lin Ruotang heard Aunt Wang calling her Madam, she realized that she was calling her.
She just realized that except for Aunt Wang, everyone else called her Secretary Lin or Miss Lin, and Aunt Wang was the first one to call her Madam.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
Aunt Wang was a little confused and felt uneasy. Did she say something wrong?
Lin Ruotang looked at Aunt Wang and found that she was only in her early forties, with her hair tied up neatly, and her face looked honest and kind.
Seeing that Aunt Wang seemed a little worried, she said gently:
"Nothing, I'm just surprised you call me Madam. They all call me Secretary Lin or Miss Lin."
Aunt Wang looked confused, and finally asked tentatively:
"Then I'll call you Miss Lin too?"
"No need, you can call me Madam."
After Lin Ruotang finished speaking, she saw Xie Wuwei coming back. She turned around, picked up her coat, said something to Xie Wuwei, and the two got in the car again.
After they left, Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, put her hand on the door handle of Lin Ruotang and the others, and quietly opened the door.
Her sons were held in Zhou Tuo's hands, and he said he was sending them to school, but she had never seen her sons at all, except for occasional letters.
Thinking of her son, Aunt Wang wiped away her tears and searched the room.
Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei came to Niu Batian and saw an unexpected person.
"Sister Juan, why are you here?"
Lin Ruotang was very surprised. She didn't expect it to be Sister Juan. No wonder Niu Batian was so happy.
Wang Juan smiled slightly, without saying why she came back. She smiled brightly.
"I didn't catch up with your wedding, what a pity..."
The two of them sat on the sofa hand in hand, as if they had endless things to talk about.
After everyone finished reminiscing about the past, Lin Ruotang finally got down to business.
"I got news that Zhou Tuo is going to attack our party's underground organization this time. He has an informant who is probably a traitor in the organization."
Hearing this, Wang Juan's expression changed drastically. She suddenly stood up.
"not good!"
Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei also stood up.
"what happened?"
"The organization said I'm familiar with Shanghai and asked me to come back with Mr. Li. Mr. Li is here to hold a meeting with the leaders of the underground organization. If Zhou Tuo is here for them, then we're in trouble..."
Hearing Wang Juan say this, Xie Wuwei immediately said:
"Go find Mr. Li right now!"
Wang Juan's face looked even uglier, and her lips turned pale.
"Tomorrow is the meeting time, and Mr. Li is going to meet an important person, and he only has one security guard with him..."
She felt dizzy and her voice was hoarse.
"The key is that he didn't tell me where he went..."
Seeing Wang Juan's ugly expression, Niu Batian quickly said:
"Juan, I will send someone to search secretly now..."
Wang Juan managed to calm down and whispered:
"This time I'm responsible for taking notes at the meeting. I'll wait near the meeting location and make sure Mr. Li doesn't get close."
Lin Ruotang didn't expect this matter to be so urgent, but she and Xie Wuwei couldn't do anything and had to leave early.
They cannot be exposed yet, and can only hope that Niu Batian can find Mr. Li tonight.
If we can't find Mr. Li tonight, it will be very dangerous.
The two returned home in a depressed mood. Xie Wuwei saw the vase next to the bedroom and his eyelids twitched.
His vase and white lace tablecloth moved forward a few centimeters.
He carefully opened the bedroom door and looked at the guest room opposite.
Lin Ruotang asked in confusion:
"what happened?"
"Someone has come in!"
Xie Wuwei quickly opened the secret compartment under the bed, took out the telegraph machine, and put it in the box.
"This thing can't stay here."
"I'll send it to Wanfan."
Lin Ruotang was about to take it when Xie Wuwei raised his hand.
"Oh my god, it's unreasonable for you to go out in the middle of the night. I'm going to meet someone for a drink right now."
Xie Wuwei made a phone call and went out with his things.
Aunt Wang heard the noise, she opened the door, and suddenly saw Lin Ruotang staring at her, her heart skipped a beat.
"Madam, Mr. Xie just came back and went out again?"
Lin Ruotang crossed his arms, looking unhappy.
"Let's go drink!"
Seeing that Lin Ruotang seemed to be in a bad mood, Aunt Wang said:
"Then I'll go make you some midnight snack!"
Seeing this, Lin Ruotang's expression slowed down and he said in a low voice:
"No, if you're hungry, just cook something for yourself!"
After Xie Wuwei left, he drove on the street and found Guan Yetuner and his men on the street.
"Stop!"
Xie Wuwei opened the car window and watched Guan Yetuner appear.
"Senkaku-kun!"
Guan Yetuner looked at Xie Wuwei, sized him up, and asked with a stern face:
"Captain Xie, what are you doing out so late?"
Xie Wuwei took out a pack of cigarettes, put it in Guan Yetuner's pocket, knocked on the car window and said:
"Let's go have a drink, Chief Guan Ye?"
After Xie Wuwei finished speaking, Guan Yetuner leaned over the car window and looked inside. Not finding anything, he then said:
"No, I have work to do."
Xie Wuwei said regretfully:
"That's a shame. I've made plans to have a drink with Chief Watanabe and Chief Yamamoto."
Xie Wuwei drove away and when he arrived near Wan Fan's house, he took out the telegraph from under the seat.
Wan Fan had Yu Wenye at home, so he was very careful. When he heard the sound of the car, he sat up.
Yu Wenye coughed and looked nervous.
"What's going on? Did the spies find out about this place?"
Wan Fan took out his pistol, loaded it, put his finger on his lips, signaling Yu Wenye not to make a sound, and then he carefully walked to the door.
Hearing the car start and leave, he opened the door and found a box at the door. When he picked it up, he realized something was wrong.
When he returned to the room and opened it, he found it was a telegraph machine. He became worried about his comrades who were hiding.
Xie Wuwei was in the car. When he saw the things being taken away by Wan Fan, he stepped on the accelerator and drove to drink.
The next day, Lin Ruotang arrived at the bureau, but Xie Wuwei was still lying at home.
Zhou Tuo hurried out this morning and passed by the action team. He didn't see Xie Wuwei, so he asked:
"Where did Deputy Captain Xie go?"
Lin Ruotang's expression was not good either, and he said in a low voice:
"I went out drinking last night and I'm still drunk."
After hearing this, Zhou Tuo frowned slightly, but didn't think much about it.
"When he sobers up, come to the police station right away!"
At this time, Niu Batian did not find Mr. Li, so Wang Juan had to go to the meeting place first, and Niu Batian secretly protected her.
This was a remote hotel, and Wang Juan hesitated whether to go in first.
