Chapter 56 Farewell
It was getting late and the lights in Liu Zhengfeng's house were already on.
The electric lights at that time were far inferior to the LED lights of the 21st century. The light was dim and weak.
Everyone's eyes were on Liu Zhengfeng. His release from prison seemed not very honorable, and he was vague and perfunctory when anyone asked him about it.
Liu Zhengfeng knew that his story was not that simple and was full of uncertainties. If he exaggerated it, his family might worry; if he exaggerated it, they not believe him. Therefore, he had to tell half the truth.
"The reason I was able to get out of prison is because a big shot knew that I was a good shooter and wanted me to work for him. Maybe tomorrow I will leave Wuhan and go to another place to carry out a mission."
Liu Dongming was very curious: "Who has such great power?"
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, " Dad , this is confidential and also a discipline. I can't tell you."
Li Rong frowned slightly, looking melancholy. She was still thinking about taking Liu Zhengfeng home to meet her father.
"Why so hasty?"
Seeing Li Rong's melancholy face, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but feel full of regret.
"Rong'er, I have military duties to attend to. I'm sorry."
Li Rong looked gloomy and whispered, "It's okay."
That night, Li Rong stayed at Liu Zhengfeng's house. Since they were not married yet and were afraid of criticism from others, Li Rong slept in Liu Zhengfeng's sister's room.
Li Rong lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, she suddenly heard a soft "click" coming from the door. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Could it be that there was a thief in the house?
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her: Could it be him? Thinking of this, Li Rong felt hot all over and her mouth was dry.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed to the bed. Li Rong didn't know who it was and was about to shout loudly, when suddenly a warm hand gently covered her mouth.
"Shh... Rong'er, don't make a sound, it's me."
It was Liu Zhengfeng's voice. Li Rong's heart was pounding like a deer. She asked in a trembling voice, "What...what are you going to do?"
Liu Zhengfeng whispered: "I...I miss you so much..."
Li Rong was flustered, and suddenly felt warm beside her. Liu Zhengfeng was already lying beside her. Li Rong couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice... 10,000 words omitted here...
The next day at ten o'clock in the morning, in the office of the action team leader at the Military Control Commission Wuhan Station.
Chen Wei was dressed in an officer's uniform, looking very heroic. She stood with her back straight and at attention.
Li Fei was talking on the phone with someone, nodding from time to time and saying things like "yes, I understand".
Chen Wei listened carefully to every word Li Fei said and observed his every expression, afraid of missing anything.
After a while, Li Fei hung up the phone.
Chen Wei asked nervously, "Captain, what's going on? What does the superior mean?"
Li Fei murmured, "When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog prospers."
Chen Wei was puzzled: "Captain, what does this mean?"
Li Fei seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, "Oh," "Nothing. The higher-ups' opinion is to respect Liu Zhengfeng's wishes. If he doesn't want to join the Military Control Commission, it's up to him. As long as he agrees to help us kill the devils and eliminate the traitors, that's all."
Chen Wei nodded slightly. She noticed that Li Fei's face looked a little strange, his eyes flickered, and he looked weird. She couldn't help but have countless questions in her mind.
According to the military's consistent style, Liu Zhengfeng will certainly be severely punished. It is impossible for them to be treated as if nothing had happened, unless there is something that Liu Zhengfeng has to do, or there are other ulterior motives.
Li Fei saw Chen Wei's absent-minded look and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, don't let your imagination run wild. Now, go pick up Liu Zhengfeng and we will go to Suzhou together."
"Suzhou?"
Chen Wei was stunned and asked, "Should I go too?"
Li Fei smiled and said, "Yes, not only you, I want to go too. There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Don't you want to go and see it?"
Chen Wei said calmly: "The places trampled by the Japanese devils are good enough if they are not hell, let alone heaven."
Li Fei sighed, "You are right. The same is true for the Suzhou Station of the Military Control Commission. A traitor named Fu Tianlai appeared in the Suzhou Station. His betrayal caused the Suzhou Station to be directly paralyzed. The station chief Tang Yunfu led the remaining dozen brothers to evacuate Suzhou in a panic, thus saving their lives ."
"Our superiors have ordered us at Wuhan Station to rush to Suzhou immediately to eliminate this hateful traitor Fu Tianlai and rebuild Suzhou Station. As long as this traitor is not killed, Suzhou Station cannot be rebuilt. This is also the first task assigned to Liu Zhengfeng by our superiors."
Chen Wei frowned and said, "Can't Suzhou Station clean up the mess on its own? Why does it have to ask us for help?"
Li Fei smiled and said, "Fu Tianlai was originally the intelligence chief of Suzhou Station. He is an old man in Suzhou Station and knows all the personnel in Suzhou Station. In addition, he is alert and cautious by nature. Tang Yunfu tried to clean up the mess several times but failed. Instead, he almost lost his entire army. He had no choice but to ask for help from the headquarters."
Chen Wei nodded, with a thoughtful look on her face: "Then why did the higher-ups specifically ask Liu Zhengfeng to get rid of this traitor?"
Li Fei frowned and said, "This traitor Fu Tianzi knows that he has committed a grave sin. He stays at home every day and is difficult for outsiders to approach. We can only use long-distance sniping to kill him. Only a sharpshooter like Liu Zhengfeng can complete this task."
Chen Wei nodded and said, "What is our mission? To help Liu Zhengfeng?"
Li Fei said: "That's right. Our mission is to clear obstacles and provide cover for Liu Zhengfeng. Liu Zhengfeng will be responsible for the fatal blow. We each have our own responsibilities. Now, you go and notify all members of your team to pack up and set off in the afternoon."
"In addition, you have to take some time to pick up Liu Zhengfeng."
"yes."
…
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Chen Wei appeared downstairs of Liu Zhengfeng's house. Liu Zhengfeng felt relieved when he learned that the Military Control Commission did not force him to join them.
Of course, this was also within Liu Zhengfeng's expectations. He knew very well that under the current situation, the Military Control Commission urgently needed talents like him, otherwise there would be no need to get him out of prison.
At the same time, he also knew that when he was no longer of use, he had to be careful of being held accountable later, but that was a matter for the future and he couldn't care less about it now.
Liu Zhengfeng bid farewell to his parents respectfully, and said goodbye to Li Rong reluctantly. His reluctance was so touching that it brought tears to people's eyes.
Parting is always sad. Chen Wei was sitting in the car watching, and the scene brought back memories. She couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Zhengfeng, Li Fei, Chen Wei and twelve of Chen Wei's team members, disguised as ordinary people, left Wuhan on a fishing boat. The fishing boat went straight down the Yangtze River, and was expected to disembark in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, and then travel south to Suzhou by land.
Of course, many places on the Yangtze River waterway are now controlled by the Japanese army, and how to avoid their inspection has become a problem.
