Episode 21: Lin Xi has a new mission and appears as a butterfly

Li Ruhe was worried that Jiang Wei would expose the military rations. Lin Xi said that Jiang Wei’s condition for concealing the military rations was half of the dividends. Li Ruhe agreed to give Jiang Wei half of the dividend, but the amount given to Xing Lixian had to be discounted. He Xiaoyuan and the others finished playing cards and came over with Wen Hua and Su Nan. Lin Xi said he had work to discuss with Su Nan, so he drove Su Nan away alone.

In the car, Su Nan conveyed the organization’s new mission to Lin Xi. The organization requires them to cooperate with Comrade Huadie’s actions and obtain Jinzhou’s city defense deployment. Tomorrow morning, Lin Xi and Comrade Huadie will meet. Lin Xi returned to his residence. After dormant in Jinzhou for so long, he finally received a new task, so he was very happy. He even reminded Wenhua to drink less.

Late at night, Yang Sen, deputy director of the Second Division of the Northeast Suppression General, came to Jinzhou from Shenyang. Li Yunfei went to work early in the morning and unexpectedly found Yang Sen sitting in his office. Yang Sen came to Jinzhou this time to catch a big fish, but he didn’t need Li Yunfei, only his men. Li Yunfei knew without thinking that the person Yang Sen used should be Zhou Yingqun.

On the morning of the meeting, Lin Xi appeared near the Lingchuan Liquor Shop, ready for the meeting. However, a gunfight broke out nearby, and Lin Xi had to leave first. Coincidentally, the person who carried out the arrest and shooting mission in the Lingchuan liquor store was Zhou Yingqun. His people searched the radio station and shot many comrades. Just last night, under Yang Sen’s persuasion, Zhou Yingqun cooperated with him to arrest the Communists for meritorious service.

Lin Xi was a little surprised when he saw Yang Sen appearing in Jinzhou. After asking Li Yunfei, he learned that Yang Sen came last night, and now Zhou Yingqun was working for him. When Lin Xi was walking on the road, he realized that he was being followed. He took out his gun to protect himself, but he did not expect to be knocked unconscious from behind. The other party covered his eyes with cloth.

Lin Xi didn’t know who the other party was, but the other party’s voice was very familiar. This man knew Lin Xi’s past very well. Lin Xi quietly broke the rope, broke free, and tore off the cloth, only to find that the person in front of him was Jiang Wei. Lin Xi took advantage of him not paying attention and grabbed the gun from Jiang Wei’s hand, turning his passive into an active one. However, there was no bullet in the gun. Lin Xi turned to choke Jiang Wei’s neck with his hands and did not let go until Jiang Wei surrendered.

Then Jiang Wei and Lin Xi exchanged secret codes, and Lin Xi realized that Jiang Wei was Hua Die who wanted to join him. Seven years ago, Jiang Wei was ostensibly a patrolman in the French Concession and an insider of the military command in the mainland. In fact, he was an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party. Lingchuan Liquor Shop is their transportation station in Jinzhou.

The shopkeeper, Gao, is Jiang Wei’s superior. He is very cautious in his behavior and there is absolutely no possibility of leaks. Therefore, Jiang Wei suspects that there is a traitor within. This is why he wants to test Lin. past reasons. If the intelligence is reliable, they will only have a few hours to obtain the Jinzhou defense deployment map. Jiang Wei handed over the key to An Chengren’s office safe to Lin Xi. Lin Xi was responsible for diverting An Chengren away, while Su Nan was directly responsible for the operation.

Lin Xi sent people to arrest Meng Hui, the leader of the 66th Regiment of the 55th Division. An Chengren became furious, and Li Ruhe deliberately brought the matter to Deputy Director He of the Jinzhou Command Post of the Northeast Suppression General. Deputy Director He came to ask questions. Lin Xi assured that Meng Hui would be fine, but his next actions would require the cooperation of Deputy Director He. The Nanjing telegram was delivered to An Chengren, and Lin Xi entered An Chengren’s office with Deputy Director He’s warrant.
