Chapter 358 Unexpected Discovery
"Inspector Lin, you are so reckless!"
Seeing Yin Fei pointing at him and saying this, Lin Ruotang looked puzzled.
"What's wrong with me?"
"What you did is really detrimental to our internal unity. You actually went to Wang Jing's house. What were you planning?"
Lin Ruotang's eyes darkened. It seemed that Wang Jing had complained to Yin Fei. She asked with a puzzled look on her face:
"I just went to visit Madam Wang. What's wrong with that? Or is it that we in the Military Control Commission are not allowed to visit each other? How come I, as an inspector, don't know about this?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruotang choked him like this. Yin Fei was speechless. He touched the top of his head, which had lost a lot of hair and was becoming increasingly bald. He said irritably:
"Are you really visiting Madam Wang?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Lin Ruotang admit it so openly, Yin Fei could only stare at Lin Ruotang.
Lin Ruotang remained calm and continued:
"Could it be that Director Wang has something shameful going on? Why is he so nervous about me going to his house?"
This made Yin Fei completely unwilling to talk anymore. Are women nowadays so difficult to deal with?
He reached out and touched his almost bald head, waved his hand helplessly, and let Lin Ruotang leave by herself.
After Wang Jing complained to Yin Fei, he kept listening to the noise upstairs.
Seeing Lin Ruotang walk out calmly and smile at him, Wang Jing was so angry that he immediately closed the office door.
Yesterday, Ma Ying's cousin told him that it would be too conspicuous to attack Lin Ruotang now, so he had to wait until the New Year.
It’s only a few days away from the Chinese New Year.
This is the first year after the Japanese surrender, so it must be lively.
It would be normal for someone to die in the chaos that would occur at that time.
After all, he was a member of the Military Control Commission, so Ma Ying's cousin was a little scared and wanted to delay.
Wang Jing could only work with Lin Ruotang for a period of time. Every day, Lin Ruotang looked at Wang Jing meaningfully.
If Lin Ruotang wanted to deal with him, she didn't have to do anything. As long as she showed that she cared about someone, that person would feel guilty.
He thought Lin Ruotang would write a lot of bad things about him in the report, which would make him confused and then Lin Ruotang would have something to hold against him.
In January 1946, the streets were filled with a New Year atmosphere.
Lin Ruotang received an invitation and Wu Youxiang asked her out for dinner.
Lin Ruotang came to the hotel and saw Wu Youwang, and asked doubtfully:
"Why didn't Youcheng come?"
“There’s hope for going abroad!”
Hearing Wu Youhao say this, Lin Ruotang looked at him in surprise.
"I told him to study physics abroad, and he agreed."
Wu Youhao said lightly. After he didn't mention this matter, there was a trace of loneliness on his face. Seeing this, Lin Ruotang asked in confusion:
"what happened?"
"My mother is so old and she wants to go abroad. She is worried about Youcheng."
"What about Youting?"
Lin Ruotang calculated the time and thought that Wu Youting would return to China in two years.
"I'll arrange for a friend to keep an eye on it in Shanghai, and someone will ask her to come here to find me when the time comes."
Seeing Wu Youxiang like this, Lin Ruotang could only comfort him.
"Auntie is just looking for support now. Since Youcheng is young, it's normal for her to be worried. I'm sure she's worried about you too."
"It's because I'm not doing my best. I don't have a family or children now, and I'm already old. I've disappointed my mother..."
In fact, Wu Youhao still respects his mother very much, even though they cannot agree.
"By the way, I heard that Xie Wuwei stayed at the headquarters and something happened. What are you going to do next?"
Lin Ruotang looked calm, and said with determination in his eyes:
"I'm sure he'll be fine."
Wu Youhao saw that Lin Ruotang didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and he also didn't want to talk about Xie Wuwei, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Do you still remember Hao Zi?"
Lin Ruotang ate while listening to Wu Youxiang talk.
"He defected to the Japanese, and was later arrested as a traitor. His mother begged me to arrange a meeting..."
Having said that, Wu Youxiang stopped, his mood was not very good, and his eyes were gloomy. Lin Ruotang asked in surprise:
"What happened next?"
"His mother brought poisoned buns, and she and Hao Zi ate them together..."
After hearing this, Lin Ruotang lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was heavy.
At this time, the door was opened.
Yu Zhenshan walked in, with a half-smile on his face, as if he had caught Lin Ruotang's little braid.
"Inspector Lin, what are you doing?"
Before Lin Ruotang could speak, he said proudly:
"Knowing the law and breaking the law will result in an additional penalty!"
Lin Ruotang glanced at him calmly and asked:
"Captain Yu, are you on a mission?"
Yu Zhenshan seemed to guess what Lin Ruotang was going to say, and he smiled and touched his hedgehog head.
"Yes, I'm catching the Red Party's couriers..."
Lin Ruotang simply said "hmm", then turned to Wu Youxiang and said:
"Deputy Director Wu, have a good chat with Captain Yu. After all, you're both trying to catch the Red Party members..."
After hearing this, Yu Zhenshan saw the man with his back to him and was surprised to find that it was Wu Youxiang from the Inspection Department.
Wu Youxiang stood up and said to Zhenshan:
"What a coincidence, Captain Yu, meeting a friend in a foreign land. Inspector Lin and I have known each other for many years. It's almost Chinese New Year, and we wanted to get together. I wonder how we could have knowingly broken the law?"
Seeing this, Yu Zhenshan quickly said:
"I misunderstood. Please take your time eating."
Lin Ruotang suddenly asked about Wu Youhao,
"Do you know someone named Xiao Fengxian?"
This news was leaked by Ma Ying. She got it out of her that Yu Zhenshan had a wife in his hometown, but he seemed to be very close to a woman named Xiao Fengxian.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Zhenshan's body stiffened. He knew that this was Lin Ruotang's warning, and walked out of the box without saying a word.
Wu Youwang saw this, glanced at Yu Zhenshan's back, and said lightly:
"I don't know any Xiao Fengxian..."
When the box quieted down, Wu Youxiang whispered:
"I didn't expect you to have a hard time too."
Lin Ruotang picked up the tea with a smile and said to Wu Youwang:
"Okay, everyone, please stop hurting each other. I heard that the director of the Inspection Department is not an easy person to get along with."
Wu Youhao laughed and picked up the teacup.
"You're right. Let's not hurt each other. After all, we've known each other for so many years. We should help each other."
There is something behind these words. Lin Ruotang's eyes flashed. It seems that Wu Youxiang is in a bad situation too.
"Have a drink!"
Wu Youhao finished speaking and raised his teacup. Lin Ruotang clinked it with his.
“It’s time to help each other!”
The two looked at each other and said nothing, but they had become allies, helping each other to gain a foothold in Tianjin Station.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Ruotang said to Wu Youxiang,
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"I send you."
Wu Youhao asked the driver to drive the car, and the two of them sat in the back seat and fell silent.
The world has changed, and they have changed too.
Under the dim light, Lin Ruotang saw a familiar figure.
It was the husband of the pregnant woman from last time, walking down the street holding a child.
The man looked panicked and kept trying to stop cars. It was almost the holiday season and there were rarely any empty cars, so he failed to stop one for a long time.
Wu Youxiang followed her gaze and asked in a low voice:
"you know?"
Lin Ruotang took a glance and found that the child was pale and had purple lips. She frowned slightly and said to Wu Youwang:
"They are the pregnant couple that the inspection team stopped last time."
Speaking of this matter, Wu Youhao had an idea in his mind, and he said to the driver:
"parking!"
