The secret war is silent

Lunar New Year's eve.

According to Chinese customs, this day should be a day for family reunions, posting Spring Festival couplets, and welcoming the new.

Happy New Year.

As for the customs in the mountain city, I'm not sure yet, but in my hometown of Jinghai and Jinling, ancestor worship is still required.

However, for many people, this year will definitely not be able to reunite, and it will be good if their families are not destroyed.

All this is because of the Japanese invaders.

Cousin, it's time to remove the stitches from the wound on my arm. Can you accompany me to the hospital? Gong Hui came to see Luo Yao in the morning.

You need someone to accompany you when you go to the hospital. You are not a three-year-old child anymore. Luo Yao was brushing his teeth and raised his head and said.

I've never been out before, so I'm not familiar with it. What if I get lost? Gong Hui said.

Excuse, you, a dignified military intelligence officer, actually said such a thing, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? Luo Yao said.

Isn't this the Chinese New Year? I want to buy some New Year's goods and so on. Do you want you to come with me? Gong Hui said.

No, I have something else to do today and I don't have time to go shopping with you. Let Xia Fei go with you. Luo Yao refused.

It's already thirty years old, what else do you have to do?

I have a very important person to visit, and I have made an appointment with Brother Shen Yu. He will come to pick me up soon. Luo Yao explained.

Can I go with you? Gong Hui suddenly became interested and came over to ask.

What are you going to do?

Can't I go? After all, I am also a core member of the secret research team? Gong Hui asked.

It's not impossible for you to go, but everything must be according to my arrangements. Luo Yao thought for a while, and it seemed that it would be okay to bring Gong Hui with him. After all, the family they were going to visit had female relatives.

It is easier to talk between women.

Okay, as long as you take me there. Gong Hui said happily, I'll go back and change clothes.

Wear simple clothes, don't be too flashy. Luo Yao reminded, it's not like he was going to a dance or something.

knew……

…

Xiao Yao, I found out about this person after a lot of effort. He has been in the Central Medical Examination Department. Are you sure you want to see him? Shen Yu drove over and asked Luo Yao and Gong Hui picked it up together.

He didn't join the Zhongtong. He's not a member of the Zhongtong. It doesn't matter. Luo Yao chuckled.

Strictly speaking, that's true, but have you thought about it and really go to see him? Shen Yu confirmed together.

Well, I've told Boss Dai about this before, and he didn't object. So, if someone can be poached and can be used by me, that's fine. Luo Yao said unconcernedly. He was worried that this person was already in military technology. In this case, it would be very difficult for him to recruit people, and it would also make it difficult for Dai Yunong.

Now that I have found out, this person has not gone to the military technical room yet, so what are you waiting for? Keep digging.

With such a great god, the skeleton of the Military Command Secret Research Office has been put together.

Okay, I'll take you there, but it's your business, I don't care. Shen Yu said.

Well, I'm measured. Luo Yao nodded.

Cars shuttled through the streets and alleys of the mountain city. Because today was New Year's Eve, the streets were crowded with people, especially numerous and lively, so the cars could only move forward slowly.

The person they were visiting today rented a two-bedroom house near Ailu under Guanyin Rock.

A family of three settled here.

The woman had a serious illness years ago and was not in good health. She had been raising her children at home. The two children contracted measles on the way to the mountain town in the west. The doctor misdiagnosed them as colds and fevers. By the time they were discovered, they were unable to recover and both died young. .

The whole family is supported by the man alone. In a mountain city where prices are soaring, life is actually quite difficult.

Because a woman's body needs to be taken care of, a lot of money is spent on it every month.

Children are at a critical moment of physical growth, and nutrition is naturally indispensable. This will only make the man suffer and bear the burden of the entire family.

Naturally, you can't come empty-handed when you come to visit. Luo Yaotou bought some nutritional supplements, imported milk powder, biscuits, candies and the like.

There are a lot of things and I spent a lot of money.

How long do you two need? Shen Yu got out of the car, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff and asked Luo Yao.

Luo Yao shook his head: I don't know. Otherwise, you should go back first. We already know the way. We will go back by ourselves in a while.

Okay, I'm quite busy with this matter, so I won't waste time here with you. I'll have a cigarette and leave. Shen Yu nodded. As the deputy section chief of the General Affairs Section of the General Affairs Office, the more he comes to the end of the year, , the busier we are, the more trivial things we have to do, and someone has to do them.

According to the house number informed by Shen Yu, Luo Yao and Gong Hui carried their things to the door of a house. The door was cleaned, but the Spring Festival couplets were not posted yet. They should have put them up when the man came home from get off work.

I have already found out that the man works at China Central Radio as an editor and reviewer. His main job is to promote Japan. He has been there for two months.

Counting the time, I should be back from get off work.

Luo Yao was holding something in both hands, pouted, and asked Gong Hui to knock on the door.

Gong Hui stepped forward, stretched out her right hand, and knocked twice on the mottled door. After about seven or eight seconds, there was a sound of footsteps inside.

Who is it?

Sister-in-law, we are colleagues of Chi An. It's Chinese New Year. Come and see him. Luo Yao opened his mouth and shouted directly inside.

Oh, it's our colleague from Chi'an. Wait, I'll open the door for you. The woman's voice came from inside, and less than a minute passed.

A young lady in a simple cotton skirt opened the door to them.

Hello, sister-in-law. Luo Yao called the young lady sister-in-law as soon as he walked in. Calculated by age, Chi An was older than him, so it was appropriate to call him sister-in-law.

Xiaohui, what are you doing standing still? Call me sister-in-law!

Hello, sister-in-law. Gong Hui didn't understand why, but since Luo Yao had already called her, she followed suit with peace of mind. She didn't suffer any loss anyway.

Chi An worked the night shift yesterday and hasn't come back yet. Which unit are you colleagues from? Mrs. Chi asked as she welcomed them in. At this time, a three-year-old boy ran from the house. He came out and hugged his mother's thigh. The attachment in his eyes was heartbreaking.

We are from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Luo Yao said casually.

Mrs. Chi was surprised: From the Military and Political Department, didn't you just have someone here yesterday?

Oh, we are not together. Luo Yao also reacted quickly and hurriedly explained.

That's true. Mrs. Chi did not have any doubts and led Luo Yao and Gong Hui into the house. It was a two-bedroom house. One room was used as a bedroom, the other room was used as a living room and study room, and there was a small kitchen. next door.

A family of three squeezed into such a small house seemed a bit cramped.

As the government moved westward, there were simply not enough houses in mountain cities to live in. It was good to be able to rent a house like this. Many families could only squeeze into one room.

Sister-in-law, this is not the New Year. This is my first time here again. I brought some New Year's goods for you and your children. Luo Yao placed the purchased nutritional supplements on the coffee table.

This, this is not good, Chi An, he never accepts gifts from others. Mrs. Chi looked at the imported milk powder and candies with some yearning, especially when her son saw the longing eyes for the candies, she felt really distressed.

It's nothing. Our relationship with Brother Chi is different from others. Sister-in-law, feel free to accept it. Luo Yao smiled, opened it, grabbed a few candies and gave them to the little boy. This is Xiao Hao. Is he three years old this year?

Mom... The little boy did not reach out to get it, but looked up at his mother, his eyes full of pleading.

Looking at the child's hopeful eyes, Mrs. Chi couldn't help but feel soft and nodded.

The little boy took the candy from Luo Yao's hand, tore off the wrapping paper and put it into his mouth. The satisfied look in his eyes was moving.

Xiao Hao, thank you uncle.

Thank you, uncle. At his mother's reminder, Xiao Hao made a sweet sound to Luo Yao.

good.

Mrs. Chi made tea for Luo Yao and Gong Hui, and then chatted about home affairs. Not long after, a bicycle bell rang outside the door.

The couple had known each other for a long time. Mrs. Chi stood up and said, Chi An is back. I'll open the door.

Gong Hui winked at Luo Yao and asked him what to do. Just now they pretended to be colleagues from the Military and Political Department of Chi An. Now that they are back, they must not betray the gang immediately.

Luo Yao gave him a calm look.

He got up and walked out with Mrs. Chi.

Mrs. Chi opened the door, but she saw a young man in a suit walking in pushing a bicycle. When he saw a strange man suddenly appearing in the yard, Chi An was also stunned, and couldn't help showing a look of caution.

Brother Chi, long time no see. Luo Yao smiled slightly, stepped forward to greet him, and stretched out his right hand.

Chi An hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Luo Yao's bright smile, his mind was also very fast. If he crashed on the spot, his wife and children would be in danger. Moreover, it seemed that there was another person in the house, so he reacted immediately, He reached out and said, Yes, long time no see.

Mrs. Chi was not so thoughtful. She didn't see what was going on. She really thought her husband was an acquaintance. She felt a stone fall in her heart.

Brother Chi, my surname is Luo. I came to visit today on important matters. I had no choice but to use the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Please forgive me. Luo Yao quietly explained in his ear while shaking hands with Chi An. .

When he returned home, he frowned slightly when he saw the nutritional supplements placed on the coffee table and the unwrapped candies. This was a courtesy that everyone would ask for.

Brother Luo, isn't this bad?

Brother Chi is too outspoken. I came to see you and my wife, my child. Could it be possible that I came here empty-handed? I'm celebrating the New Year, aren't you being scolded by others? Luo Yao chuckled.

Yingzi, take Hao'er out. Brother Luo and I have something to discuss. Chi An ordered his wife. Obviously, he didn't want his wife to hear the following conversation.

Mrs. Chi nodded without doubting his presence, took the little boy's hand and went out.

Who are you, and what is the purpose of coming to my house? Chi An's face immediately darkened when he saw his wife and children going out.

Mr. Chi, we have no ill intentions towards you. Please believe this. Luo Yao also said solemnly, As for the purpose of our visit, we want to invite Mr. Chi to join us.

Join you, I don't know who you are, why should I join you? Chi An sneered and asked rudely.

Mr. Chi, you should have heard of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission, right?

Are you the military commander? Chi An was shocked and took a breath of cold air at the same time. The military commander had a bad reputation in the mountain city. How could he not know that once he was targeted, he would be in trouble.
