However, it is said that Huamanlou was dug out from his coffin by Gu Longfei that day, after parting ways with Gu Longfei and Murong Ding, he took the "Missouri" plan and quietly set foot on the road to Chongqing.

  Hua Manlou is an old agent, and in his lifetime he has experienced countless pursuits and counter-pursuits. After leaving Hankou, he was extremely cautious all the way, disguising himself very cleverly, and traveling by water, so he didn't encounter any trouble and arrived smoothly in Chongqing.

  After landing on the dock, he thought of the importance of carrying things with him and didn't dare to stay outside. He went directly to his superior's office, who was also a relative, Dai Li's office.

  He handed his documents to the gatekeeper, who looked at them and then let him in. As he walked through the courtyard, he saw a female worker sweeping leaves off the ground with a broom. Although it was already after Chinese New Year, the temperature in Chongqing was not low, and there were still many leaves hanging from the trees. With a gust of wind, the ground would be immediately covered with fallen leaves.

  The woman worker was about forty years old, with some white hair and an ugly face. She walked slowly and looked up to see Hua Man Lou, her eyes were dim and it was unclear whether she saw him or not.

  Looking at the old and ugly female worker, he felt a little strange in his heart. He had often walked around Dai Li's office before, but he had never seen this woman, and he was secretly puzzled, wondering if she was new?

  Hua Manlou walked into Dai Li's office, knocked on the door, and heard Dai Li's voice coming from inside. He was delighted to find that Director Dai had not gone out today. Indeed, when he pushed open the door, he saw a man sitting in the chair behind the desk, looking at a document on the table. The man's face was extremely long, like a horse's face. He looked up and saw Hua Manlou enter, took a deep sniff, and then beamed with joy, saying: "Xiaoru, you've come just in time! Was your trip safe?"

  The real name of the flower on the building was originally called Zhu Xiaoru. Zhu Xiaoru knew that Dai Li had rhinitis and often had a stuffy nose, so he hurried forward to pay his respects: "Director Dai, I'm back, the road is fine, everything went smoothly! I brought you a bottle of medicine for treating rhinitis from Hankou, it's made by foreigners, please try it first, don't know if it has any effect!" After finishing speaking, he respectfully placed a small glass bottle from his bag on the table.

  Dai Li smiled and said, "Xiao Ru, please sit down! You're always so polite, every time you come, you bring something with you! Let me see... Ah, ah... Ah-choo!" Dai Li opened the bottle and took a few strong sniffs at the mouth of it, was hit by the medicinal fumes and let out several sneezes in a row. Feeling that his nostrils seemed to be cleared and felt somewhat more comfortable, he said, "Not bad, not bad, looks like this foreign stuff has some skills after all! Thanks a lot!"

  Zhu Xiaoru smiled and said: "Director Dai, you're too polite. As long as it's effective, I'll bring more for you next time!"

  The two of them chatted for a while before Dai Li asked, "Did you bring that thing back?"

  Zhu Xiaoru listened and knew that Murong Ding had already informed Dai Li, so he didn't say much. He nodded, took out the "Missouri" plan hidden in his arms, and handed it to Dai Li to look at. Dai Li held it in his hand and saw that it was a microfilm, but couldn't make out what it was about. He put the plan into a safe against the wall and said: "I'll report to Chairman Chiang later and let him call in some experts to take a look. If this thing is really as useful as the rumors say, you will have made great contributions to the party, the country, and the nation!"

  Zhu Xiaoru made some polite remarks, then suddenly thought of the female janitor in the courtyard and asked: "Director Dai, is the female janitor downstairs new here?"

  Dai Li was taken aback for a moment, then understood and smiled: "Indeed, you are a veteran agent, always on the alert! Right, the janitor who used to sweep the floor quit for some reason, so we hired a new one!"

  Dai Li saw Zhu Xiaoru listening attentively to his words, so he thought that since he was curious, he would finish telling him about the female worker's situation. Later, he would assign another task to him, which would be quite arduous. Now, it was necessary to humor him and follow his heart, so when the time came for him to accept a new task, he would do his best! So he continued: "The woman's name is Wang Youmei, she lives on Wanshou Street in Chongqing, her husband Zhu Dacai was killed by an airplane last year. She has no children and is all alone with no one to rely on. She was introduced here by someone."

  Dai Li finished speaking and smiled again, asking: "Is there anything else?"

  Zhu Xiaoru smiled and said, "That's all! Please welcome Director Dai to Moji Literature Network. You can enter our website by searching 'Moji Literature Network' on any search engine.

Specifically what's wrong, I couldn't say!"

  Dai Dashan laughed and said, "You must be tired from traveling, carrying important items on you, and the pressure in your mind is too great! Later, I'll call a few people to go eat hot pot with you, to relax and unwind! You know that Chongqing's hot pot is very famous, it's really enjoyable to eat!"

  Zhu Xiaoru hastily expressed his gratitude: "Then thank you, Director Dai!"

  Dai Li is from Jiangshan, Zhejiang Province. He attaches great importance to his hometown and the majority of the Military Bureau he founded are also from his hometown, including Zhu Xiaoru who is also from Zhejiang Province. Therefore, Dai Li treats his subordinates like his fellow villagers, with great warmth! As for Zhu Xiaoru, not only is he from Jiangshan, Zhejiang Province, but also from Bao'an Township, and originally from the same village as Dai Li, they are even relatives, so their relationship is different.

  At this extraordinary time, Dai Li's work was extremely busy. At this time, he met Zhu Xiaoru and suddenly got a rare relaxation. The two of them first talked about their work and then started talking about their hometown and other things.

  Dai Li came to talk with Zhu Xiaoru about the scenery and human feelings of his hometown, and to reminisce about his distant hometown. Secondly, he also wanted Zhu Xiaoru to relax, because the task he was going to assign him later was not trivial!

  Zhu Xiaoru talked with Dai Li for a while, and not knowing what his purpose was in letting him return to Chongqing this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Director Dai, you're so anxious to call me back, is there an important task assigned to me?"

  Dai Li smiled and said, "Xiao Ru, you still have that impatient temper after all these years! I was thinking of waiting until we finished eating to tell you slowly, but since you asked now, I'll just say it. Otherwise, you'll be worried about this matter in your heart!"

  Zhu Xiaoru smiled and said, "Director Dai still understands me!"

  Dai Li sniffed, suddenly looked out the window, sighed and said: "The country is in danger, and the party and state are also in a critical moment! This matter is also very urgent, otherwise it would not have been suddenly transferred back from Hankou!"

  Zhu Xiaoru saw Dai Li's original words and smiles, suddenly his face turned solemn, knowing that this matter was not light, not only did he beat a drum in his heart, but also carefully said: "Director Dai, is this matter very tricky?"

  Dai Li shook his head and sighed, "It's not that it's a tough nut to crack, but to get to the bottom of this matter is no easy task! The thing is, Hu Zongnan, the commander of the 34th Group Army, his troops are well-equipped and fight bravely, originally he was one of the old master's trusted followers, but recently there have been quite a few problems!"

  Zhu Xiaoru was shocked and asked: "Hu Zongnan! Is he going to betray and defect?"

  Dai Li shook his head and said, "That won't do. Recently, there have been serious leaks in his army! Important documents issued by the Central Committee, as well as some battle plans, were originally top-secret matters. However, somehow these secrets kept leaking out! Hu Zongnan investigated within his own army but couldn't find any leads. In his anxiety, he called Old Head to ask for help, and later Old Head handed this matter over to me to handle. After I took it on, I thought about it repeatedly and felt that you were the most suitable person to send!"

  Zhu Xiaoru hesitated and said, "Director Dai, we are people from the Military Bureau, now wanting to intervene in military affairs, I'm afraid it's not good to get involved! Firstly, I worry that others will gossip and say that we have ulterior motives; secondly, I am even more worried that if we go to Hu Zongnan's place, his officers and men will be unwilling to cooperate!"

  He hesitated for a moment before saying, "The problems you're worried about, I've thought of them beforehand, so don't worry too much. Firstly, we are going on orders, equivalent to holding the imperial sword, and we won't be afraid of Hu Zongnan's subordinates blocking us; secondly, it was Hu Zongnan himself who asked for help from the old man, and he will definitely assist you with all his might for his own survival; thirdly, there is a crucial point, which is your own flexibility and intelligence, as well as your rich experience in special operations! So, after you go, just boldly investigate and catch the traitor next to Hu Zongnan, and by then he will be grateful to you and won't dare to make things difficult for you!"

  Zhu Xiaoru saw Dai Li speaking like this, knew it was hard to decline again, so he nodded in agreement and asked: "Director Dai, since this matter is so urgent, when should I set off?"

  Dai Li let out a sigh, carefully looking at Zhu Xiaoru's sturdy body, and said: "Your thoughts are meticulous, your experience is rich, and your solo skills are not weak either. But after going there, you still need to be careful! When you go, you can only appear as the captain of Hu Zongnan's guard team, and secretly conduct an investigation. Otherwise, it will alarm the enemy! I have some people in my hands, you can choose a few to take with you, and incorporate them into your guard team. If not, you'll be alone and lack some support!"

  Zhu Xiaoru saw that Dai Li had considered it so thoroughly, and he felt both grateful for his concern and even more aware of the difficulty of this matter, so he said: "Alright, I'll just bring a few more people over!"

  Dai Li nodded and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. Originally, I wanted to keep you for a few more days so we could chat more, but this matter can't be delayed any further. The sooner the better. You...you stay overnight tonight and set off tomorrow! Later, I'll bring you the personnel files to look at, and you can choose whoever you want. Tomorrow...tomorrow you don't need to come say goodbye, just go on your own, and be careful on the road!"

  Zhu Xiaoru nodded and said: "I know, then I'll go make preparations now!" After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to Dai Li and prepared to leave.

  Dai Li suddenly stopped him and said, "If it weren't for this important matter, I wouldn't have called you back from Hankou! You may not know that my original plan was to let you take over Mu Rongding's position in Hankou."

  Zhu Xiaoru asked in confusion: "Why should I replace Murong Ding? Is he going to be transferred elsewhere?"

  Dai Li shook his head and said: "Mu Rongding is no longer any good, he needs to come back to Chongqing for treatment, otherwise he won't last a few more days!"
