In an instant, the heavy rain fell all over Shanghai.
The heavy rain hit the silent green outside the window.
The trees were invaded by rain, but they were upright and firm, as usual.
Just now, it was still hot and intractable, and now it is cold in the bones.
Ye Chu pondered for a moment, and said, "Auntie, can I see that document?"
Wan Yihui nodded.
She walked quickly to the cabinet and rummaged in it.
In order not to let others see, this document has been pressed at the bottom of the box.
When I turned out the document again, Wan Yihui's memories were aroused.
Those papers have turned yellow, and indescribable emotions flooded my heart.
She sighed, constricted her expression, and stopped thinking about how to deal with the future is the most important thing now.
Ye Chu took over the paperwork.
Her gaze slowly moved down, and there was Lu Zongting's signature on it.
Ye Chu was surprised.
She had seen Lu Zongting's words in her previous life when she was in the Warlord's Mansion.
The words on this are actually the same as his handwriting.
Could it be that Lu Zongting did promise to marry Mo Ling as his wife
Ye Chu knew that Mo Qinghan's reason for targeting Ye Family everywhere was that in addition to Dong Hongchang's instruction, there was also Mo Ling's relationship.
This proves that this document already existed in the previous life.
However, when they asked Lu Zongting in his previous life, why did he have no memory of it
What's wrong with this
Seeing that Ye Chu's face was wrong, Wan Yihui asked hurriedly, "What's the matter? A Chu."
Ye Chu: "Auntie, has anyone come into contact with this document?"
"Since I returned to Shanghai, I have kept the documents in a safe place." Wan Yihui thought for a while, "I have kept it here, never moved."
Wan Yihui's words verified one thing, it is impossible for anyone to do anything about it.
If Mo Ling did get the concubine paperwork back then, both she and Mo Qinghan thought they should have been the Lu family.
Then only one person can prove the authenticity of this document.
Ye Chu thought for a while: "Can I take this document?"
Wan Yihui nodded: "Mo Qinghan's purpose should be this document. If it is useful to you, take it."
"It's important." Ye Chu said, "Auntie will keep this matter secret."
Ye Chu's expression was serious.
Wan Yihui was very affirmative: "A Chu, I will never mention this to anyone."
"Auntie, don't worry." Ye Chu squeezed Wan Yihui's hand, "this time, I will protect the Ye family."
The scene of the previous life reappeared before her eyes.
With the death of the Ye family, Mo Qinghan still did not give up chasing and killing Ye Chu.
She fled everywhere in Shanghai, but could not find a place to stay.
At that time, the night was so long that there was no end in sight.
Until she met Lu Huai.
In this life, Ye Chu wants to make up for the regrets of the previous life.
Not only did she want to find out the truth of the year, she would never allow Mo Qinghan to hurt the Ye family.
Wan Yihui's nose was sore.
Tears came from the corners of the eyes.
This secret has been hidden in her heart for many years, and it is finally revealed today.
This incident is like a shadow that can't go away, always haunting her, making her awake at night.
Wan Yihui concealed this incident back then for the safety of the Ye family.
She never thought that she would leave them with such troubles.
If it is impossible to escape.
Let her bear these consequences alone.
…
Nanjing.
government building.
Dai Shinan looked down at the file, his eyebrows furrowed.
Recently, with busy business affairs, the Dai family has been entangled in trivial matters, and there has been no news from Hanyang for a long time.
Dong Hongchang has cultivated him for a long time, will it make him an abandoned son
But he knew that Mo Qinghan had been by Dong Hongchang's side longer, and a while ago, his power was emptied.
Dai Shinan did not contact them for the time being at the spy stations across the country.
During Dai Shinan's ambush in Nanjing, Lu Zongting told him all irrelevant information.
But Lu Zongting has been emphasizing one thing, let him continue to implement the mist plan.
He can't help but doubt.
If you do nothing, will Hanyang give up on yourself
Dai Shinan's thoughts were sinking, and his emotions became more and more suppressed in the long-term latency.
At this time, the phone rang suddenly.
Dai Shinan recovered, his eyes fell on the black phone.
Somehow, he had a strange hunch.
Who would be calling
Did Lu Zongting control any new intelligence
Or is there news from Hanyang
The phone rang three times.
In the stuffy air that seemed to be stagnant, all the sounds seemed long and harsh.
Dai Shinan picked it up.
An unfamiliar voice rang from the other end: "Commander Dai, I am from Guangyi Bookstore."
Dai Shinan narrowed his eyes.
He remembered very clearly that he had never dealt with anyone from Guangyi Bookstore this time around.
But Dai Shinan knows one thing, this call must be strange.
Even though he did not answer, the person on the other end of the phone continued to speak.
"The book you ordered a few days ago has arrived."
Dai Shinan knew it: "I know, I will pick it up at noon today."
In order to prevent others from finding out, he quickly hung up the phone.
Dai Shinan looked at the watch, and it was time for lunch.
He went downstairs in a hurry and drove away from the government building.
Just now, this phone call was sending a message.
After Dai Shinan waited for such a long time, Dong Hongchang finally contacted him again.
Guangyi Bookstore is a famous bookstore in Nanjing.
When lurking beside the real Dai Shinan, I have seen him go several times.
Therefore, Dong Hongchang chose this location to ensure that he is foolproof.
Thinking about it, the car has reached the door of Guangyi Bookstore.
Dai Shinan got out of the car and walked into the bookstore.
The sun in late summer was still warm, and the air was light and thin with fine dust floating in it.
As if melting in a light mist.
It's lunch time, and there is no one in the bookstore.
Dai Shinan glanced casually.
His eyes met a clerk.
The clerk recognized his face and smiled: "Commander Dai, you are here."
Dai Shinan asked in a deep voice, "Is the book I ordered here?"
The clerk nodded and then found a package.
"Commander Dai, this is your book."
Dai Shinan knew that this person was originally a clerk at Guangyi Bookstore.
They have never inserted new people here, because they don't want to arouse anyone's suspicion.
This package was ordered by someone in his name, just to send a message to him.
Dai Shinan stood in the bookstore and opened the package.
The original appearance of the book is revealed.
He flipped through it, as if confirming.
Soon, Dai Shinan took the book and left the bookstore slowly.
The clerk looked up and saw that English words were written on the cover of the book.
Dai Shinan looked calm and walked towards the car.
Even if someone saw him appearing at Guangyi Bookstore, there was nothing suspicious about this behavior.
Dai Shinan's car stopped at the intersection and he got into the car.
Some noises came from outside the car window.
The sound of cicadas, horns, voices... all sorts of noises falling into the car are fine and calm.
Only then did Dai Shinan read the book seriously.
That is an English novel, "The Riddle of the Sands".
The Mystery of the Sandbank by Erskine Childs.
The Chinese translation has not yet been published.
Dai Shinan had seen the introduction in the newspaper, and he remembered that this novel was about spies.
His expression didn't change, but his eyes sank.
Dai Shinan opened the book and discovered the secret inside.
There is a bookmark in the book.
Dai Shinan's hand stopped and picked up the bookmark.
It's just the most common bookmark, with a plain white background, dark green prints, and no words.
But the bookmark is on page 190.
Dai Shinan already understood the message Dong Hongchang wanted to deliver.
He received a new task again.
Instigate Agent 190.
poppy.
Dai Shinan drove away.
In Nanjing in the summer, the roads were so hot that they seemed to have been poured with a layer of hot oil.
But every agent can only keep cold and silent.
Dai Shinan thought.
It seems that he must go to Shanghai.
…
Poppy received a call from Nanjing.
Dai Shinan asked to meet.
They only met at the engagement banquet between Lu Huai and Ye Chu a while ago.
Why does Dai Shinan have plans to meet again in a short time
Poppy couldn't help but remember that day.
She expressed her loyalty to the fake Dai Shinan in order to gain his trust.
Perhaps the actions that day have worked.
But Poppy knew that this meeting could only be more cautious.
She went to Dai Shinan's private house in Shanghai.
Poppy walked into the house along the familiar road.
The summer heat wave ushered in, turbulent and violent.
Somehow, it was even more breathless.
Dai Shinan sat in a room.
There is nothing on the table, simple and clean.
Poppy sat down opposite him: "Sir Dai."
Dai Shinan looked up: "Poppy."
He raised his hand and tapped his fingers on the table inadvertently.
Poppy had seen him several times.
This fake Dai Shinan imitated every move that was extremely alike, enough to be true.
Poppy: "Sir Dai, I haven't received a task for a long time."
She meant to ask if Dai Shinan had a new mission.
"No hurry." Dai Shinan said, "I am looking for you today. There is something else."
Poppy looked at Dai Shinan in silence.
During this time, people from the Shanghai Secret Service Station have been passing news to her.
Dai Shinan did not contact the Shanghai agent station.
The change of the stationmaster has also been blocked and will not reach his ears.
Poppy believes that he doesn't want to expose himself if he doesn't deal with the people at the agent station.
At least he must stay in Nanjing before the end of the Mist Project.
Dai Shinan said: "You have always been my most trusted agent."
These days, the only task Dai Shinan received was to counter the poppy.
He has been unable to give Dong Hongchang new news for a long time, and Hanyang has run out of patience.
This means that the task of instigating rebellion can only succeed, not fail.
Otherwise, he will lose Dong Hongchang's trust.
Poppy: "Sergeant Dai's life-saving grace is unforgettable for me."
Although her face was cold, she was grateful.
Dai Shinan's eyes fell on Poppy.
The real Dai Shinan has cultivated poppy with heart, and at the same time, she is also one of the most important people in the Mist Project.
He decided to take a gamble.
Gamble on Poppy’s loyalty to Dai Shinan.
Bet whether she is willing to give up her previous position for Dai Shinan.
Dai Shinan’s voice was calm: "If one day, my position changes..."
Poppy was startled.
She knew that she could not show composure, and when Dai Shinan brought up such things, panic should be the most normal reaction.
Dai Shinan watched Poppy's expression.
He has seen her panic for the first time since he got along with Agent 190.
Poppy is well-trained and never shows his emotions.
He thought, she didn't lie to him.
Dai Shinan asked the second half: "What would you do?"
His tone was faint, as if it were just an ordinary thing.
Poppy was silent for a long while.
As long as Dai Shinan speaks this sentence, it proves that her previous actions have convinced him that he has never doubted his identity.
Poppy seemed to hesitate for a moment before making up his mind.
"When I was desperate, it was Officer Dai who saved my life."
She raised her eyes to Dai Shinan, her eyes firm.
Her gaze fell straight to his eyes, with the same trust as usual.
In the room full of sunlight, the cold voice of poppy rang.
"Beijing agent station, transfer to Shanghai for action..." she said, "Chief Dai has never doubted my ability at all."
"Chief Dai cultivated me with one hand, and I have what I am today."
Poppy paused and emphasized another sentence.
"The position of Chief Dai is my position."
Everything she said is true.
But those words were only for the real Dai Shinan.
Only hope that these words can let him off guard.
Dai Shinan relaxed, but still did not relax his vigilance.
"Agent 190 Poppy."
"Now, I want to give you a task."
Poppy has a hunch.
For that task, she had a clear direction in her mind.
However, Poppy can only choose to remain silent, waiting for Dai Shinan to speak.
Dai Shinan put his hand on the table.
This table looks unremarkable, but it is very thick. In fact, it hides a box.
There is a flat gap in the middle of the table, and the whole box opens slowly from the middle.
The contents inside showed the whole picture.
A brand new sniper rifle.
Dai Shinan's voice was extremely deep.
It seemed to be hitting the air dullly, again and again.
"This gun is a gift from me."
Poppy's lips pressed into a straight line.
She knows the goal of this task, but the key person will be...
Verbal promises are not necessarily true. Dai Shinan sees many such things.
He must let Poppy use her actions to prove her loyalty.
"At eight o'clock this evening, Lu Zongting will appear at the Chinachem Hotel."
Poppy's gaze did not leave Dai Shinan.
His face is serious, his tone is serious, and he doesn't seem to be fake.
"Poppy, you have two choices now."
Immediately afterwards, Dai Shinan's hand left the box.
Also stayed away from the gun.
He was at a safe distance from the gun.
It ensures that the poppy will not be threatened to life at this moment.
And the sniper rifle is there.
Put it in a place where poppies are within reach.
Dai Shinan: "You can choose to kill me."
"or… "
"Take this task."
In midsummer, cicadas hummed, but there was only silence in the room.
The hot air fell into every corner of the room.
Poppy's gaze fell on the gun.
The sunlight gleamed on the black muzzle, but it turned into an icy chill.
