On the train to Manchester.
Brother Qiu was lying on the bed in the sleeper compartment, reading a novel.
“Squeak!”
The door opened, and a girl about Qiu's age walked in, lowered her head and said, "We're almost in the station."
Brother Qiu raised his head and glanced at her: "Has the higher-ups given the information about the contact team?"
"Given it." The girl replied: "There are three people on the other side, two Chinese and one white. The signal for the response is, the sun rises in the east."
"Okay, you notify the others to get ready." Brother Qiu stood up and replied.
The girl said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "There is something wrong with this Chinese Workers' Union. Since we all have to go separately for safety reasons, then the pick-up personnel should be arranged by our own people! We have to exchange secret codes and conduct screening. It's so troublesome."
Brother Qiu smiled and said, "The Chinese Workers' Union is the leading unit in this operation. It is normal for them to control the information of other groups. This makes it easier to command. Moreover, they have more resources here, so it will be safer indeed."
"Okay, then you take a rest, I'll go inform the others."
"Okay." Brother Qiu nodded.
The girl paused, then reached out and pulled out a food bag from behind her back: "I brought this with me. Eat some, or you won't know when you'll get something to eat after you get off the bus. There are fruits in it to supplement your vitamins."
Brother Qiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyan!"
"You're welcome." Xiao Yan smiled sweetly, turned around and left the car.
Brother Qiu and his gang are all relatively young new-generation military intelligence agents, and most of them have a high level of education. They were all carefully trained by Lao An and Liu Hongxu for three years and were selected through layers of selection, so their loyalty is also impeccable.
For young people, their ideals are purer and they are not so utilitarian. From a personality perspective, they are worthy of admiration.
During this mission, the three teams will not meet each other during the hibernation period, and they will not contact each other. The only link is the military intelligence personnel of the Chinese Workers' Union hidden in Manchester. They will provide convenient living conditions and hiding conditions for the action team. When the action begins, they will withdraw and hand over the battlefield to the action department.
This is done to avoid mistakes in any link, so that everyone will not be wiped out.
While waiting in the car, Brother Qiu opened the bag of food and started eating what was inside.
…
Ten o'clock at night.
A cruise ship docked, Su Tianbei and others got off the ship and rushed to the checkpoint separately.
The route of action for the National Bureau of Statistics is to enter the country from the port of Li City in District 2, and then take a car to Manchester City. The purpose of this is that the three teams take different transportation routes, the probability of being exposed will be relatively low, there will be no intersections, and it will not be easy to catch clues if something goes wrong.
Moreover, the National Bureau of Statistics has more resources in customs and can take care of some internal affairs.
The certificates that Su Tianbei and others had were all from the old triangle or district five. Their network of connections there was relatively strong, and the identification documents they obtained were all authentic, so it was not easy for them to be exposed.
A group of people got off the boat. Without saying hello to each other, they lined up in groups of three or five, ready to go through customs.
The pier was bustling with people, and it looked very lively. The inspection units at the checkpoint were all equipped normally, and there was nothing unusual.
…
The dinner scene in Bana City.
After An Qiqi and Yu Mingyuan chatted for a while, they turned and walked towards the bathroom.
"Qiqi!"
Just then, Liu Hongxu suddenly came over and shouted.
"What's wrong, Uncle Liu?" An Qiqi asked softly.
Liu Hongxu's expression was solemn, and he called out urgently, "Come here!"
An Qiqi felt that something was wrong with him, so she immediately went over to him and went into the lounge next door with him: "What's wrong?"
Liu Hongxu didn't explain much and just handed his phone to An Qiqi.
"When did it happen?" An Qiqi's pretty face turned pale instantly, and she asked in an excited tone.
“Just now!”
"…!" An Qiqi clenched her fists and said after less than two seconds: "Cancel it! You notify our people, I'll go tell Xiao Yu and Lao Huang, quick!"
"good!"
The two exchanged a few words briefly, and An Qiqi immediately trotted over to the main table.
At this moment, Su Tianyu was chatting excitedly with Huang Peishan.
An Qiqi patted Wei Xiangzuo on the shoulder and said in a serious tone: "Brother Wei, I have something to talk to them alone, please let me go first."
"Oh, OK!"
Wei Xiangzuo stood up immediately.
"What's wrong?" Su Tianyu asked.
An Qiqi immediately lowered her head and said to the two of them, "Our action team has been exposed. Tell your people not to enter the city and retreat immediately!"
"Ah?!" Su Tianyu stood up suddenly.
Huang Peishan frowned: "Impossible?! I just received news that the support team is already in place."
"My information is very reliable. Someone has betrayed us. Quickly give the order to cancel the entry into the city!" An Qiqi said without any doubt.
Su Tianyu directly chose to trust An Qiqi. He immediately walked aside and dialed Su Tianbei's number using Lao Hei's special phone.
…
Inside the pier in Lee City.
Su Tianbei was standing in line, yawning.
"Next one!" The prosecutor at the checkpoint waved his hand and shouted.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
The phone rang loudly. Su Tianbei took out his phone and looked down at the caller ID: "Hello?"
"I have something to do at home. Let's talk about business another day. I'll be back soon!" Su Tianyu said very quickly.
Su Tianbei instantly perked up when he heard this. He paused and replied, "I'm already here, at the checkpoint."
Su Tianyu's heart skipped a beat. He understood what his second brother meant. The other party had already got off the boat and was at the checkpoint.
"It's okay, I got it, I'll go back as soon as possible."
"you… !"
"Stop talking, it's almost my turn." Su Tianbei turned his head and looked around, then hung up the phone.
Inside the port, a cold wind was blowing and beads of sweat were appearing on Su Tianbei's forehead. He turned his head and looked around, and saw that three members of other groups had already passed the checkpoint.
The meaning of Su Tianyu's words just now was very clear. There must be an ambush at the port. If we turn around and leave now, there is no need to think about it, because gunshots will be heard here soon.
what to do?!
Su Tianbei's brain was working rapidly and he turned his head to look around.
"Next one!"
The staff's voices were heard from inside the checkpoint.
Su Tianbei came to his senses and saw that the other party was calling him.
"Come here!" the other party shouted in English.
Su Tianbei hesitated for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and handed over his ID.
In a car behind the checkpoint, a white man stared at Su Tianbei and shouted into a walkie-talkie, "He has disguised his face. We can't recognize him."
Near the checkpoint, Su Tianbei swallowed, glanced at the surrounding action team members, and shook his head slightly.
…
At the Bana City dinner, Su Tianyu anxiously asked Huang Peishan: "What did you do?! We haven't even entered yet, and we're all exposed?!"
