Cheng Zhener's words shocked Zheng Yao.
He blinked. When he heard the former say the word 'defected,' he reacted.
"What do you mean…Betray?"
Just as Zheng Yaoxian had guessed, Cheng Zhen 'er looked up at him, her watery eyes filled with determination.
"Yes, I've already been exposed. It's just that the people from the Central Committee want to use me to cast a long line and catch a big fish.”
"I only found out today. Before I came to see you, I went to see Old Lu.”
Cheng Zhener had been exposed, and Zheng Yaoxian panicked.
He knew that Cheng Zhen 'er had always been pure and kind. She was not someone who could work underground.
What he was worried about had finally happened.
"Then how did Old Lu know?"
After thinking about it, Zheng Yaoxian still had some doubts. He began to ask Cheng Zhener.
"Old Lu said that it was Old Ghost who gave the news.”
"Yaoxian, you know Old Ghost, right? He's on our side.”
Cheng Zhener replied to Zheng Yaoxian with a serious face. She leaned against his body, soft and sweet.
Of course, Zheng Yaoxian had heard of Old Ghost.
However, no one had ever seen him before, not even Lu Hanqing.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yaoxian felt relieved. He could not think too much now.
The old ghost was a ghost shadow, so he came and went without leaving a trace.
As long as the information was reported, none of it was false. They just had to do as they were told.
Zheng Yaoxian was most worried about Cheng Zhener.
"Did Old Lu say when he wanted you to leave?”
"Tonight, I will take the water route. It will be hard for the Central Commander to think of it. Even if he finds out that I have left, it will be too late.”
Cheng Zhen 'er blurted out, as if she had already planned it out.
"You've already thought about it?"
Zheng Yaoxian was stunned for a moment before he looked at Cheng Zhen 'er who was replying in such an orderly manner.
"It's Old Ghost who thought about it long ago. He should have known that I had been exposed long ago. He specially asked Old Lu to tell me that I must take the water route. Although it will be slower, it is definitely something that the Middle Chief would not expect.”
"I see. Old Ghost is really Old Ghost.”
Zheng Yaoxian had just finished sighing when he realized that Cheng Zhen 'er was holding his hand tightly.
Under the bright moonlight, this pair of lovers were deeply in love.
"Yes, Yaoxian. I didn't have time to bring any luggage. After meeting you, I'm going to set off.”
Time was tight. Zheng Yaoxian knew that even if he was reluctant, he had to call Cheng Zhener back to Yan 'an.
Because only there would Cheng Zhener, whose identity had already been exposed, be the safest.
"Alright, Zhener, I'll escort you out tonight.”
"When you reach Yan 'an, you must inform Old Lu and let me know that you are safe.”
Zheng Yao said as he pulled Cheng Zhener into his embrace.
The two of them had been pretending for a day, and the tiredness on their faces was very obvious.
However, at this moment, they felt extremely happy without saying a word.
At the same time, in a corner not far away, a person was quietly playing with a cigarette in his hand, watching everything.
It was Xu Xiaolian. He was also here to send Cheng Zhener off.
In other words, the old ghost was here to escort this pair of lovers who had gone through many hardships.
...
In August 1945, the Japanese surrendered.
The fourteen years of war had finally come to an end. The entire country was in jubilation, and the people were celebrating.
In this joyous moment, the cracks in the cooperation between the two countries became more and more obvious…
The headquarters in Chongqing was the same as usual.
In the drill ground, Xu Xiaolian and Qi Siyuan's daily job was to lead troops for training.
The Japanese army surrendered, and the relationship between the two countries was still at a stalemate. There were not many tasks that could be done, so the two naturally became much more relaxed.
On the other side, the IT department was also much more relaxed.
When Gu Yufei had time, she would pass by the drill ground and casually chat with the two of them.
Coincidentally, all three of them were present on this day.
"Not bad. I think the second team is getting better and better at training with the first team.”
Gu Yufei said as she sat in the temporary pavilion on the drill ground.
Qi Siyuan, who was sitting at the side, almost choked on a mouthful of cold water.
Xu Xiaolian, on the other hand, did not say anything. A smile flashed across his face.
He suddenly realized that Gu Yufei was used to being the eldest young miss these years, and she spoke more and more without thinking.
After a while, Xu Xiaolian heard heavy breathing beside him.
He knew what was going on and secretly laughed a few times. He got up and pretended to walk towards his team members.
Seeing Xu Xiaolian stand up, Gu Yufei also wanted to stand up, but Qi Siyuan immediately stopped her.
"Yufei, where are you going?"
"Where can I go? I've been sitting here for too long.”
Gu Yufei raised her eyebrows and wanted to make up for it, but Qi Siyuan saw through it with a glance.
He continued to pant heavily, and the whites of his eyes rolled up to the top of his head for no reason.
"Come on, what's the use of moving around? Aren't we still siding with outsiders?”
"Yufei, you're not here to chat with me, you're obviously here for Xu Xiaolian!”
Hearing Qi Siyuan's tone, there was probably a little more anger.
Gu Yufei turned around and curled her lips helplessly.
"Cousin, what do you mean?”
"You're still siding with outsiders. I think you're a dog biting a Lu Dongbin. You don't know a good person's heart!”
After saying that, she thought for a while before sitting back down on her chair and probing towards Qi Siyuan.
"Besides, Cousin, the Japanese army has surrendered. Why do you still have such a big opinion of Xu Xiaolian?”
Qi Siyuan raised his hand and scratched his head. His pair of deep and bottomless eyes followed Xu Xiaolian's actions.
"It's useless for the Japanese to surrender. Yufei, don't tell me you think the two countries are at peace and call each other brothers?”
"But what does this have to do with Xu Xiaolian? You belong to Guo Jun, you are comrades!”
"I mean, it's been so long. Can't you put down your prejudice?”
Gu Yufei said to Qi Siyuan, her eyes filled with sincerity.
Qi Siyuan let out a deep breath again and used his tongue to resonate with his upper jaw. His face revealed his unwillingness.
"Preconceived notions?"
"Yufei, that day when you asked me to apologize to Xu Xiaolian, you should know that I have a prejudice against him.”
As soon as Qi Siyuan finished speaking, Gu Yufei looked at his determined eyes and was suddenly stunned.
Yes, he should have thought of it earlier.
Qi Siyuan was such a proud and conceited person. He had taken the initiative to admit defeat to Xu Xiaolian only for the sake of the second team.
In his heart, he had never really been convinced by Xu Xiaolian.
