No. 9, Yihe Road, Nanjing.
The Nanjing office of the film bureau was brightly lit.
Bao Ge and his men cleaned the villa thoroughly.
Wang Manxue moved in with her two children and asked:
"Ah Bao! When is the chief of staff coming?"
Bao Ge said in a low voice, "Madam! The chief of staff should be arriving soon. Um, please call me Lord Pingxiang."
Wang Manxue scolded, "Aren't you Bao Ge from the Military Intelligence Bureau? There are no outsiders here."
Bao Ge smiled wryly and said, "The chief of staff said that the Japanese are using eavesdropping devices everywhere, so we must be careful."
Wang Manxue nodded and said, "Yes! I forgot this is Nanjing. Send a telegram to ask if he can come over tonight. If not, I'll go to No. 3 Yihe Road."
"Hello!"
Bao Ge bowed and accepted the order, then went into the radio room to send a telegram.
Soon, I received a call back, reporting:
"Madam! The chief of staff has already entered the city."
Wang Manxue said happily, "That was pretty fast!"
At this moment, a spy arrived at the living room door and reported:
"Madam! Your mother's secretary, Chen Ling, has arrived."
Wang Manxue instructed, "Let her in, trick me into going back to Nanjing, and see what she has to say."
"Hello!"
The shadow spy hurriedly accepted the order.
Shortly after, a capable female secretary entered the living room with gifts.
Wang Manxue said angrily, "Secretary Chen! You sent a telegram saying my father was terminally ill, but in reality he's perfectly fine. How do you explain that?"
Chen Ling put down the gifts and said awkwardly, "Miss! It was all arranged by Madam. I was just an clerk. Moreover, the master's old injury has indeed relapsed, and he will be going to Japan for treatment soon. If the surgery is unsuccessful, his life may be in danger, so please take the child back to Nanjing to see him."
After hearing her explanation, Wang Manxue's anger subsided considerably, and she said politely:
"Please sit down, Mr. Heishi! Serve some tea."
"Hello!"
Bao Ge bowed and accepted the order, then personally served the tea set.
Chen Ling waved her hand and said, "No need! Miss! Madam said that if the Shadow Bureau Chief comes, please go to No. 3 Yihe Road immediately."
Wang Manxue asked in confusion, "What does my mother want with my man?"
Chen Ling said in a low voice, "Recently, the Japanese intelligence agencies have been keeping a very close eye on you, which has made Madam uncomfortable. Section Chief Aoki of the Shanghai Special Higher Police is also bringing people to Nanjing, and I'm afraid they will be watching you even more closely."
Wang Manxue nodded and said, "I know, that woman, Qingmu Lianhua."
Chen Ling smiled wryly and said, "There are some other things that I can't talk about here. Miss, I'll head back now."
After saying that, she turned and walked out of the living room.
Wang Manxue sighed, "If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! Alas!"
At that moment, a sound came from the direction of the back door.
Bao Ge said happily, "Madam! The chief of staff is back."
Wang Manxue said, annoyed, "Why didn't he use the main entrance?"
Xiang Chu led Yu Xiaowan into the living room and said with a smile, "Didn't you notice there were spies watching outside the door?"
"A spy?! Chief! I'll take men and eliminate them immediately."
Bao Ge exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran out of the living room.
Wang Manxue threw herself into Xiang Chu's arms and said emotionally:
"My dear! I worry about you day and night."
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "You two are being affectionate, I'm going to see my son."
Wang Manxue released Xiang Chu and reminded him, "Xiaowan! Yu Xiang and Nanfeng are playing upstairs. This child misses her parents and insisted on coming to Nanjing with me."
"father--!"
Nanfeng and Yuxiang ran down the stairs.
Xiang Chu stepped forward, grabbed one in each arm, and showered them with kisses.
At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.
Wang Manxue answered the phone and nodded:
"Okay! We'll be right there."
She put down the phone and said with a wry smile, "Honey! It's no use coming in through the back door. The people my mom sent have already seen us and told us to go to No. 3 Yihe Road."
Xiang Chu put down his two sons and said helplessly, "Alright! Let's go. Xiaowan! You and Xiang'er should get some rest."
"it is good!"
Yu Xiaowan nodded, her heart filled with worry.
The distance from No. 9 to No. 3 Yihe Road is only a short distance of about 100 meters.
Xiang Chu carried Nanfeng and walked there with Wang Manxue.
Wang Manxue complained, “Darling! US military planes have attacked Hong Kong Island many times, and one shell even landed on our Lamma Island. We almost had to take shelter in an air-raid shelter.”
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I know. The bombing on Lamma Island was a mistake. The US military planes were targeting Imperial planes, and the Imperial Army Air Force stationed in Hong Kong lost more than a dozen aircraft."
Wang Manxue gripped his arm tightly and whispered, "Are the Allied forces going to take back Hong Kong Island?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The war is at a stalemate now, it's not time yet, but it will be soon!"
Before they knew it, the two had entered the gate of No. 3 Yihe Road.
For the first time ever, Wang Manxue's parents greeted her at the front door.
Mr. Wang was about to bow his head when Xiang Chu stopped him.
Xiang Chu reminded him, "Father-in-law! Your gunshot wound doesn't allow you to bow so frequently."
Mr. Wang grasped his hand tightly and said with a smile, "It's alright! General Fujiwara, please come in."
Xiang Chu was extremely unwilling, but he could only laugh it off, thinking to himself, "Knowing full well that I am Xiang Chu, he's quite the actor."
As he entered the gate, he habitually glanced around. A familiar figure flashed past the window of Building 5 on Yihe Road. He thought to himself, "Qingmu Lianhua has also come to Nanjing? And she's staying at No. 5 Yihe Road next door."
Stepping into the living room, one finds it luxuriously decorated.
After enjoying tea and chatting for a while, we gradually got down to business.
Madam Wang complained, "Daughter! Son-in-law! We are completely controlled by the Imperial intelligence agency. We have no privacy at all. Even our conversations at home can reach the ears of the Japanese leader and prime minister. It's unbelievable!"
Wang Manxue asked, "Mom! Are all the people around you absolutely trusted confidants?"
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Of course!"
Xiang Chu asked with a smile, "May I ask which department the building next door belongs to?"
Mrs. Wang replied, "The Japanese Garrison Command in Nanjing!"
"These two buildings are too close together, almost touching."
Xiang Chu shook his head, tore off a piece of calendar paper, and wrote, "Shanghai Special Higher Police, I want to see the room next to No. 5 Yihe Road."
Then, he handed the paper to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang took the paper and nodded.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Manxue! Let's take a look around this building."
Wang Manxue understood immediately and said, "Okay! Secretary Chen! Lead the way."
"Yes!"
Chen Ling hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang and Chu followed her around.
The first floor is all rooms for secretaries and service staff, nothing special.
The second floor is the master bedroom, and there is a mirror on one of the walls.
Xiang Chu looked at the mirror and smiled, "Manxue! What do you think is behind this big mirror?"
Wang Manxue said irritably, "This is my parents' dressing room. What do you think could possibly be wrong here?"
Chen Ling laughed and said, "Director of the Shadow Bureau! There's naturally a wall behind the mirror."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "This mirror is embedded in the wall, which is not right. The wall might be hollow. You two, get out of the way!"
After saying that, he picked up a chair and smashed it against the large dressing mirror.
The sound of "snap!" was incessant.
The mirror shattered, glass shards flew, and the wall was hollow.
Across from him, Aoki Renka and Awei Mako stared at him in astonishment.
