Scholars in the courtyard.

Shanghai.

Under the dank bridge, the water was shining, and the moonlight was projected into it, mapping two blurry shadows onto the wall.

If you look from a distance, you can only see two blurry shadows. If you don't even pay attention, you can't tell what the two are even if you walk by the roadside.

Snapped

There was a dull slap in the face, a figure covered his face, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Why do you attack migratory birds?"

A low and hoarse voice came, looking at the woman covering her face in front of her, she was very angry.

"Do you know that by taking action rashly this time, not only did you fail to complete the task, but it also alerted the other party. This was an excellent opportunity to eliminate Target No. 1, and you ruined it like this?"

"It also disrupted the overall plan and even ruined my many years of business."

"You useless, stupid, bitch."

A hoarse voice came, and at the same time there was the sound of a stick hitting the ground.

At this time, the beaten woman regained her composure and looked indifferently at the old man in front of her in the darkness.

This is her adoptive father, her superior, and the source of her nightmares.

"He recognized me."

The woman lowered her head and spoke word by word.

Snapped!

There was another slap on the left, and the woman felt a rumbling sound in her ears, which made her a little dizzy.

"Idiot, I have known for a long time that he has rebelled. Why do you want to contact him this time? It is because you want to use him for a countermeasure."

"How about you do it directly instead of thinking about things in your head?"

"Also, your move affects your whole body. The operatives on the other side were almost caught. Can't you think about the consequences?"

The old man said angrily again, but when he told the woman to contact him, the woman who lowered her head and covered her face had a murderous look in her eyes.

"He recognized me."

"so what?"

The woman continued to lower her head and said in a voice like a bug, "I just want to live my life properly and live a normal life."

The old man frowned and didn't hear clearly.

But before he could lift the stick and poke the woman, the woman suddenly took two steps forward and rushed into the old man's arms.

Uh~~~

The old man suddenly let out a muffled groan, and there was a dagger stuck in his chest.

Then he looked in disbelief at the woman in front of him, the woman he had raised since childhood, the secret weapon in his hand, the woman he had always felt he had complete control over. She actually wanted to kill him?

This dagger was a gift from him back then.

"Why, why."

"I'm sorry, foster father."

"I actually have another identity."

"Cold chess!"

Cough

Hearing the girl's voice, the old man was even more shocked, and even forgot the pain of passing life.

"You, so, little."

"Ha~~"

The woman sneered, "We are the only ones who can survive hell."

As he said this, he turned the dagger vigorously in his hand. The old man wanted to make a sound in pain, but the woman covered it with her hand. She pressed her whole body against the wall and struggled.

"Now that the migratory bird is dead, no one knows that I am a cold chess player."

"You're gone too, and no one knows about my past."

patter

The old man died completely and fell under the bridge.

The woman did not touch the dagger. She pulled a sack from under the bridge hole on the side, tied the old man up, and then found the prepared ropes and stones.

Just when I was tying him up, he took out a numbered key from his chest, looked at it twice, and then threw it into the bag.

puff

There is another innocent soul under the bridge.

Watching the sack sink quickly, the woman quickly walked out of the bridge hole. She looked around with a pair of peach blossom eyes and said lightly, "From now on, there will be no Shen Miao, let alone water snakes, only..."

"You Fengxia."

The next day, in the morning.

Zheng Chaoyang and the others arrived at the station on time, while Yu Zecheng was waiting early.

"You three are exposed."

As soon as the three of them sat down, Yu Zecheng said something, which immediately shocked Zheng Chaoyang. Hao Pingchuan stood up and stared around.

"Director Yu, what do you mean?"

"When he took you to see Yang Xiaotao yesterday, he recognized you."

"Who? Impossible, we have never met."

Hao Pingchuan thought about it and quickly denied it.

Zheng Chaoyang and Bai Ling looked at each other, also confused.

Yu Zecheng opened his mouth to explain, "I can't say that I recognized you. I may have guessed your identity."

"I am still not thinking carefully. This guy is not an ordinary person. Every time I meet him, he always makes astonishing predictions."

"You being together with me aroused his suspicion."

After saying this, Zheng Chaoyang felt relieved.

"Then do I need to change my deployment?"

"The general direction will not change, but some changes will be made."

"Where?"

"When you pass by Quancheng, you have to stay for half a day."

"Quancheng?"

While Yu Zecheng and Zhang Chaoyang were discussing the itinerary, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye arrived at the registration area mentioned by the eldest sister.

Yang Xiaotao did not go in, but just waited outside.

Within ten minutes, Ran Qiuye walked out, accompanied by a middle-aged woman. When she left the door, the woman waved goodbye.

"The appointment letter is here, let me take a look."

When Ran Qiuye approached, Yang Xiaotao saw the roll in his hand and quickly stepped forward to take it.

"Nothing to see."

Ran Qiuye was a little shy, mainly because the appointment was beyond her expectation.

"Wow, Director Ran, congratulations."

Yang Xiaotao clasped his hands in congratulations, and Ran Qiuye grabbed the appointment letter, which was still at the door of the house, and hurriedly urged him to leave.

"What director? Actually, it's just me."

"I don't even know what to do."

Ran Qiuye said with a frown on the road.

It's one thing to say it, everyone can say it, but it's another thing to actually do it.

At least she didn't know what to do next.

"Who said you were alone? You still have me."

"Teacher Ran, Principal Ran, haha, Director Ran."

Yang Xiaotao said, and then he became more and more enthusiastic.

Ran Qiuye saw the corners of Yang Xiaotao's mouth curled up into a malicious smile, and immediately thought of the meanings of these names. Her ears felt a little hot, and she turned her head and ignored Yang Xiaotao.

However, thinking about what the eldest sister ordered, I really have to rely on my own men to help with this matter. When the car returned to the courtyard, Ran's mother had already helped to pack things, and Liu Yuhua and others in the yard also helped to pack.

They were also happy for Yang Xiaotao. Being able to find a 'relative' was a lucky thing in itself.

The two arranged their things and handed Wangcai and Ran's mother to take care of them. Then they got in the car and headed to the machinery factory with a lot of things.

Almost as soon as the car stopped, Yu Zecheng and Zheng Chaoyang arrived, and the two parties formally met at the door.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I am Zheng Chaoyang from Shanghai."

"Hello, Bai Ling."

"Hao Pingchuan."

The three of them introduced themselves one by one. Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao understood that this was Yu Zecheng's showdown last night.

"Hello."

"Thank you for coming, thank you very much."

Along the way, he had to rely on others, so Yang Xiaotao lowered his profile. He was not afraid of some things, but he still had a wife and children.

"We are all serving the people and ensuring the security of the motherland. What we do is all within our scope."

Zheng Chaoyang said seriously, and then everyone came to the security room at the entrance of the machinery factory.

After waiting for a while, a jeep stopped again, but it was Zhang Qing who ran over quickly with a small bag on his back and two pigtails.

When they first met, Yang Xiaotao called her "cousin" and then ran up to Ran Qiuye, calling her sister-in-law very affectionately.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Huaimin, Chen Gong, Wang Guodong, Zhao Chuanjun and others came to the door to see them off. With so many people and such a big formation, Hao Pingchuan was left chirping.

Last night when he was drinking with Duomen, he got to know Yang Xiaotao's situation. He didn't know much, but what impressed him deeply was that this guy was so young, and he had a higher rank than him.

There are seats on the plane where you don’t need to carry bags.

After so many years of life and death, he is not as good as a young man. He is really like a dog.

Speaking of dogs, Hao Pingchuan thought of the two big dogs he saw in the courtyard yesterday. They were really good dogs.

Then his eyes fell on the cage in Yang Xiaotao's hand, inside which lay a yellow puppy.

Different colors suddenly burst out in his eyes.

"Be careful on the road and give us a call when you get to Shanghai."

"Okay. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Chen"

"gone!"

Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to several people, and then got into the car with Dragon Boat Festival in his arms.

On the other side, Zhang Qing and Bai Ling were holding each other, Ran Qiuye was carrying something, and they were sitting in the car behind.

Yu Zecheng shook hands with Zheng Chaoyang and confessed, then they separated and the car ran towards the train station.

"Director, why don't we follow?"

Xiaobo asked from the side.

Yu Zecheng shook his head, "With them here, plus Xiao Liu and the others, there won't be any problems."

"Let's take the next train."

"Comrades, let's be prepared. This time, we can't be careless at all."

"clear."

Shanghai

The Jin family apartment has been extremely busy these days.

Either cleaning, or taking advantage of the nice weather to dry out the quilt, and even discussing accommodation with the surrounding residents.

After all this hard work, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a happy event.

Residents who lived nearby saw him and came over to ask if there was any good news.

Then I heard someone inside say that Lao Jin’s grandson came from Sijiu City to recognize his relatives, and then the whole apartment became lively.

At this time, in the Jin family's house.

Lao Jin sat aside, wearing a somewhat tight tunic suit, and his wife, who was also a little cramped, sat next to him.

The two of them looked very calm, but their hearts were full of anxiety.

There were fruit pastries on the table, attracting several children in the room.

Next to the pastries is a stack of cut newspapers.

"Mom, don't be nervous. The fastest train will come the day after tomorrow."

"I still have to go to the train station to pick someone up. After that, I'll be here. It would be nice to be here before dinner the day after tomorrow."

"You two elders, don't be so reserved. The most important thing is to keep your spirits up."

My daughter persuaded me from the side, and she also felt a little weird these past two days.

My sister, who had been separated for more than thirty years, suddenly had a descendant come to recognize her as my relative. When I told her, my sisters thought it was incredible.

But that's the way things are, so they can't help but not believe it.

Lao Jin heard this and unbuttoned his neck, then moved his neck and asked, "When will the brothers Anti-Japanese War and Shengli come over?"

But he asked about the other two grandchildren, who were already married. They were surprised when they got the news, and finally let the children come over first.

"The two of them are on the boat. They are very busy these two days."

"It doesn't matter if you are too busy, national affairs are important."

Hearing this, Lao Jin nodded and said, but the old woman on the side was not happy, "These two cubs have become stiff when they get married and start a career. This is Xiao Tao's first time to see his relatives. What does it matter if they don't come?"

The father and daughter smiled bitterly when they heard this. The two grandsons were her precious little ones before. In just a few days, they are already in love with each other?

But thinking about this unexpected joy, the two of them also felt that it was okay to have this kind of love.

"Okay, I'll see you sooner or later."

Lao Jin said, and then quickly said without waiting for the woman to speak, "Let's plan where to take them to play."

Hearing this, the woman became interested and said, "This"

Ring ring ring

Just when the three of them were about to discuss, the phone in the room suddenly rang.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were talking about speculation, Lao Jin got up and went to answer the phone.

But after listening for a while, his expression changed.

"what?"

When he hung up the phone, Lao Jin's face was filled with frost.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Lao Jin's expression was wrong, the woman quickly asked, "Is this the problem of Xiao Tao and the others?"

"Yes."

Lao Jin sat down and looked at the two of them, "Someone from the General Administration called. Xiao Tao and the others are being targeted by the enemy."

"what?"

The woman felt a tightness in her chest, and her daughter beside her quickly clapped her hands.

"Don't worry, our comrades have already made arrangements, don't worry, they will be fine."

Lao Jin tried his best to speak in a positive tone, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

If I had known earlier, they should have gone.

If anything happened this time, he would complain for the rest of his life.

"Lao Jin, Xiao Tao and the others, why are they being targeted?"

"Yes, Dad, how is this possible?"

Hearing this, Lao Jin looked at the newspaper on the table, and then said seriously, "This is the reason."
