Wang Tianmu frowned deeply. Such a request was extremely rare, meaning that the contents of the next telegram were highly confidential, known only to him and not even to his most trusted telegraph operator.
He took the last drag of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped it out hard!
Then he said to everyone: "Headquarters sent an urgent telegram, the highest level. I will be the only one to receive it in a moment. The assassination plan will be under the unified command of Jingnian. In short, we must get rid of these two bastards as soon as possible!"
Go and carry it out!
After saying this, he dared not delay and immediately went to the communications room to order all personnel to evacuate temporarily, including his trusted cipher clerk.
Alone in front of the noisy radio station, I awkwardly put on my headphones and grabbed my pen and paper!
He hadn't personally received telegrams in years!
Wang Tianmu felt uneasy.
What could possibly require such strict secrecy? Was it a reprimand? Or a new top-secret mission?
The waiting time felt exceptionally long.
Finally, the radio rang again, its indicator light flashing erratically, conveying a secret message from the highest core of the mountain city.
Wang Tianmu personally took charge, holding his breath and concentrating as he copied down each cipher character. Then, he took out his codebook and began the arduous task of translating it.
When the final translated text was clearly presented on the paper, Wang Tianmu's eyes widened suddenly, his breathing became rapid, and his hand holding the telegram paper trembled slightly with excitement!
The telegram contains the following:
"Tianmu personally translated: After final verification through top-secret channels of headquarters, Colonel Lin Wuyai (Crow), who has died for his country, was indeed a loyal soldier of our military intelligence. However, his achievements were concentrated in early infiltration and organizational work."
The strategic intelligence provided in the first three instances, including the Quan Gongting incident, the route of the advance into the capital, and the air raids on the three towns of Wuchang, was provided by someone else!
This person is still active in your area, wields immense power, and is of immeasurable value; he is the most precious strategic asset of the Party and the State!
If they contact your site again, inform them that the codename "Crow" has been frozen.
As the exclusive code name of Lin Wuyuan, the late ace agent of our Military Intelligence Bureau, it has become a benchmark and banner figure inspiring all our colleagues in the Military Intelligence Bureau to learn from his indomitable spirit and fighting to the end!
It is hereby granted a brand new top-secret codename: "The Announcer of Good News"!
This information is to be known only to you. You must never repeat Mao Qi's mistake and cause his exposure!
Your task: Wait patiently, do everything in your power to ensure their safety, and if they contact you, do everything you can to gain their trust and establish a stable connection.
This is your top priority and your greatest opportunity!
Success or failure is a matter of national destiny, and also of the future of our Military Intelligence Bureau!
The second phase of the Japanese offensive is about to begin; we hope to achieve another great victory!
Dai Chunfeng.
An immense, unbelievable ecstasy struck Wang Tianmu like an electric current!
He almost burst out laughing!
That's it!
It turns out the real "God of Wealth" is still in Shanghai!
That vital intelligence line that led directly to the highest decision-making level of the Japanese army was not broken!
His previous frustration and anxiety vanished instantly, replaced by an almost frenzied excitement and soaring fighting spirit.
Boss Dai is right, this is a crisis, but also a tremendous opportunity!
As long as the "Newsbird" is still around, I, Wang Tianmu, will have no worries about making new contributions, and my future is limitless!
Just as Boss Dai said, the second phase of the Japanese offensive was about to begin. As long as he could receive important strategic intelligence, his backer, Chief He of the Baoding clique, would be able to...
Even without Chief of Staff He personally taking action, our Baoding faction's "two generals," Gu Zhutong and Liu Zhi, could easily secure the position of Major General with just a little effort!
He strictly followed the instructions, burning both telegrams in the ashtray. As he watched them turn to ashes, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
He immediately rushed out of the communications room, shouting, "Liang Jun! You get over here right now!"
"Stationmaster, what are your instructions?" Zhang Liangjun, the head of the general affairs department, hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Wang Tianmu's gaze swept across the crowd, his face showing unprecedented seriousness and determination: "From this moment on, I hereby issue a death order!"
If I'm not in the office, this external communication phone (he pointed to the black phone on the table) must be staffed 24 hours a day!
Not a minute, not a second can be missing!
Even if the sky falls, even if I wet my pants, I'll still be glued to the phone!
Three shifts, two people per shift, must be absolutely reliable, have the best ears, and the fastest reaction!
If you receive any calls from unidentified individuals, mentioning special code names, or hinting at intelligence, you must notify me immediately!
This is a top-level order; anyone who neglects it will be court-martialed!
Although Zhang Liangjun was confused, seeing Wang Tianmu's unprecedentedly stern attitude, he knew the matter was of great importance and hurriedly accepted the order: "Yes!"
Wang Tianmu watched his men move quickly and take their positions, and his heart pounded.
He walked to the window, gazing at the mesmerizing night view of Shanghai, and clenched his fists tightly.
"The harbinger of good news... who exactly are you? Come quickly... I, Wang Tianmu, and the entire Shanghai station are ready!" He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with endless anticipation and ambition.
In the villa garden, night gradually spread, gently enveloping the two embracing figures.
Feng Chengcheng's initiative and sincerity were like a warm current, dispelling some of the sadness in Han Zhenhua's heart caused by "Dark Fragrance".
He felt the girl in his arms trembling slightly and her unmistakable feelings, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions, which finally turned into a soft sigh.
"Chengcheng, thank you," he said softly, his tone much gentler. "But... this world is too chaotic. Who can predict the future?"
"I don't care about the future," Feng Chengcheng looked up at him with a determined gaze, her eyes shining brightly in the night. "I only know that right now I want to be good to you and make you happy. That's enough."
This unbridled purity deeply moved Han Zhenhua. He said nothing more, only holding her tighter. The two stayed quietly in the garden for a while longer, until the evening breeze grew cool, before returning indoors.
In the following days, Feng Chengcheng visited Han Zhenhua at the villa whenever she had free time.
She was no longer as shy as she had been at first, but instead showed more natural concern for his daily life. Sometimes she would bring him some exquisite snacks made by the family chef, sometimes she would help him tidy up his study, or she would simply quietly keep him company while he read or listened to music.
Han Zhenhua gradually grew accustomed to this gentle presence. Feng Chengcheng's thoughtfulness and understanding were like the best medicine, slowly easing the tension in his nerves caused by Lin Xiaowen's departure and the pressures of the chaotic world.
He even started teaching Feng Chengcheng how to use some simple modern appliances and telling her interesting stories about the future world (of course, under the guise of "overseas experiences"), and the atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious and warm.
Susan would also come occasionally. Seeing Feng Chengcheng acting like the lady of the house, although she would still tease Han Zhenhua a few times as usual, her eyes held more understanding and blessings. She didn't do anything "out of line" anymore, but she would always loudly emphasize that she was the "senior sister", which made Feng Chengcheng cover her mouth and laugh.
That afternoon, Feng Chengcheng came to have afternoon tea with Han Zhenhua again. During their conversation, he said, "Daddy seems to be very busy lately. He often meets with some mysterious people."
He rarely talked to me about these things, but... I occasionally overheard snippets of conversation, like... like a major battle was about to break out in the north and south, and the Japanese were mobilizing troops very aggressively. Daddy always sighed, saying that the peaceful days in Shanghai were probably coming to an end.
Han Zhenhua's heart sank slightly. He knew exactly what the information Feng Chengcheng had inadvertently revealed was, because the second phase of the Japanese offensive would begin the day after tomorrow.
"Zhenhua? What's wrong?" Feng Chengcheng noticed his distraction and asked with concern.
"It's nothing," Han Zhenhua said, pulling himself out of his thoughts and smiling as he changed the subject. "I was just thinking about where I should take you next time."
Feng Chengcheng was immediately drawn in, her face flushed, and she began to discuss it with great interest.
However, the idea had already taken root in Han Zhenhua's mind. While the gentle companionship was intoxicating, a storm was brewing outside the window.
He had to act again.
What he didn't know was that this operation would not be as smooth as before!
Everything in the world, from people to events, has both yin and yang.
Success is always accompanied by failure; growth requires hardship!
