After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 224 Personal Report

Jiang Shiyuan walked out of the gate of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical and took a deep breath, as if to leave everything in the past behind.

She waved for a rickshaw.

"Miss, where are you going?" asked the coachman.

Jiang Shiyuan gave an address: "Jing'an Cemetery in the French Concession."

For some reason, she missed her father and brother very much at this moment and wanted to sit in front of their tombstones for a while.

At the same time, Sui'an Clothing Customization Store.

Gu Fangxun saw off the last customer and said with a smile, "The shop is closed today. Please come back tomorrow."

She hung up a "Temporarily Closed" sign, sent Manager Wu and the waiter away, then turned back to the inner room and made a phone call.

"Hello, is this Comrade Chao Wendao?"

A steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me, Comrade Jin Luyi."

"I have important information that I need to report to you in person!"

"Okay, then we'll meet at the old place!"

Gu Fangxun hung up the phone and quickly changed into men's clothes.

A dark grey tweed coat, paired with a hat of the same colour.

She checked herself carefully in the mirror to make sure there were no mistakes before pushing the door open and taking a rickshaw to the agreed meeting place.

There is a lot of traffic and people on Xiafei Road.

In an inconspicuous corner of the Red Rose Cafe, Comrade Chao Wendao had been waiting for a long time.

His cover identity is Zheng Zhiyuan, a professor in the History Department of Shanghai University.

Today he was wearing a gray-blue cotton jacket and old-fashioned glasses, looking like an old scholar.

He held an English newspaper in his hand, but he didn't read a single word of it, his eyes always fixed on the entrance of the cafe.

He knew that Gu Fangxun would appear soon.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a tweed coat walked in. It was Gu Fangxun in disguise.

She first pretended to look around, then waved to Zheng Zhiyuan and said with surprise, "Hey, Lao Zheng, long time no see!"

Then she sat directly opposite Zheng Zhiyuan and waved to the waiter.

"A cup of coffee with lots of milk and a sugar cube."

"Old Zheng, what about you?"

Zheng Zhiyuan put down the English newspaper and waved his hand, "I'm not used to drinking this foreign stuff, let me have a glass of lemonade."

The waiter quickly brought the drinks. Zheng Zhiyuan read the newspaper and lowered his voice and asked, "Old Gu, do you have any important information?"

Gu Fangxun looked around and made sure no one was paying attention before she slowly spoke, "It was Comrade Liu Yedao. She brought intelligence about Operation Sakura."

Then she told Zheng Zhiyuan all the information Jiang Shiyuan had passed on to her, without missing a word.

Hearing this, his brows furrowed and his expression became serious.

"Operation Sakura... It seems like there's a rat in the porridge pot back home!"

"We need to take effective measures as soon as possible to transmit the intelligence back safely and catch the Japanese spies."

Gu Fangxun nodded, "I have asked Comrade Liu Yedao to hold his ground for now and closely monitor the actions of the Special High Section stationed in Shanghai."

"I will inform you as soon as there is any new development."

Zheng Zhiyuan patted her shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Gu."

Gu Fangxun took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "For the great cause of resisting the Japanese pirates, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it is worth it!"

"By the way, Lao Zheng, the reason I asked you to meet and talk this time is because I want to discuss with you a relatively safe way to transmit intelligence back."

Zheng Zhiyuan folded the English newspaper neatly and said solemnly, "At present, it is definitely too risky to use the radio directly."

"I should ask for a leave from school tomorrow, go back to my hometown, and report to the leader in person..."

After the two discussed some specific details, Gu Fangxun took the initiative to pay the bill for the table and got up and left neatly.

Zheng Zhiyuan watched her leave, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

What kind of conspiracy is brewing behind this "Operation Sakura" targeting important Red Party members?

And who is the mysterious Japanese spy hiding among his comrades in his hometown?

They must find out the truth as soon as possible and smash the enemy's scheme.

Outside the window, the night is getting darker.

Zheng Zhiyuan walked out of the Red Rose Cafe, and the night wind made his cheeks hurt.

He subconsciously wrapped his cotton jacket tightly around him.

"Operation Sakura..." He murmured softly, his brows furrowed.

The next morning, Zheng Zhiyuan arrived at the Academic Affairs Office of Shanghai University early.

"Knock, knock, knock--" He knocked on the door three times gently.

"Come in!" A slightly hoarse voice came from inside.

Zheng Zhiyuan pushed the door open and saw the Director of the Academic Affairs Office, Wang Defa, reviewing documents at his desk.

"Hello, Director Wang." Zheng Zhiyuan nodded slightly.

Wang Defa raised his head and adjusted his glasses. "Professor Zheng, what's the matter?"

Zheng Zhiyuan looked anxious, "Director Wang, something happened at home!"

"My mother is seriously ill. I have to go back to my hometown in Shandong!"

Wang Defa was stunned when he heard this. "Seriously ill? Very serious?"

"The doctor said the situation is not good and asked me to go back quickly..." Zheng Zhiyuan's voice was a little choked.

Wang Defa sighed, "Professor Zheng, you are a role model for teachers and have always been conscientious. I will definitely approve this leave."

"It's just that the situation is chaotic right now, so you must be careful on the road!"

"Thank you, Director Wang. I will pay attention to it." Zheng Zhiyuan nodded gratefully.

After leaving the Academic Affairs Office, Zheng Zhiyuan immediately contacted his comrades at the Shanghai Underground Transportation Station.

"Old Li, I need to get back to Ancheng as soon as possible. Please help me arrange the route."

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "No problem, Lao Zheng, don't worry, I have arranged the route!"

"First take the water route to Sioux City, then transfer to land route to avoid the enemy's main blockade line."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lao Li." Zheng Zhiyuan hung up the phone and felt relieved.

He knew that although this road was difficult, it was currently the safest route.

That night, at Shilipu Wharf.

Zheng Zhiyuan disguised himself as an ordinary vendor, blended into the crowd, and vigilantly observed everything around him.

A man in a gray gown came over and asked in a low voice, "Are you Mr. Zheng?"

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded calmly.

"I was sent by Lao Li to pick you up. Just call me Xiao Wang."

Xiao Wang brought Zheng Zhiyuan to an inconspicuous boat. The boatman was a taciturn old man who skillfully operated the oars.

The boat slowly sailed away from the dock and disappeared into the night.

Four days later, Ancheng.

Zheng Zhiyuan was the chief leader of the Shanghai underground party, so he was qualified to meet directly with the head of the Special Intelligence Department.

He walked into an ordinary house, exhausted, which was one of the offices of the head of the Special Intelligence Department.

A middle-aged man came up to him and said, "Comrade Zheng, you've worked hard!"

"The commander is already waiting for you inside."

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded and followed the man into the inner room.

In the room, a leader in plain military uniform was sitting at the table looking at a map.

"Hello, Chief!" Zheng Zhiyuan stood at attention and saluted.

The chief put down the map, stood up and shook hands with him, "Old Zheng, thank you for your hard work!"

"You came back in person this time. Do you have any important information to report?"

Zheng Zhiyuan took a deep breath, "Chief, Comrade Liu Yedao intercepted a piece of intelligence about 'Operation Sakura'..."

He reported to the leader in detail everything that happened in Shanghai, as well as all the information about "Operation Sakura" provided by Jiang Shiyuan and Gu Fangxun.

After listening to the report, the chief's face became solemn.

"Operation Sakura... It seems that the enemy wants to attack important comrades in our party!"

"We must quickly find out the details of this 'Operation Sakura' and the Japanese spies lurking within our ranks!"

The chief spoke in a firm tone, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Then, he carefully instructed Zheng Zhiyuan, "Comrade Liu Yedao has not yet officially joined the Shanghai Special High Section, but he has sent back such important information. Great job!"

"But she is in a very dangerous situation now."

"Make sure she stays hidden and doesn't act rashly to ensure her own safety!"

Zheng Zhiyuan immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Chief, I promise to complete the task!"
