Chapter 70

But how could there be a radio station at Han Jinzhu’s house? She suddenly remembered the box of paper she had found on the mountain before and had planned to ask Gu Zhixing about it later!

Well, there were just too many things to handle, and she had completely forgotten about this matter.

She swallowed nervously, feeling uneasy in her heart. This was serious! Without a second thought, she jumped on her bicycle and raced towards the police station.

What was originally a half-hour journey, she managed to cover in just a few minutes, reaching the police station’s entrance.

The security guard immediately recognized the girl and hurriedly said, “Comrade Li, you’re here to see Captain Gu, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes, I have urgent business!”

“Ah, unfortunately, he’s out on a mission.”

“What? Where did he go?”

“Well… that’s classified information.”

“When will he be back?”

The security guard shook his head.

“How about Li Xiangdong? Is he here?”

The security guard shook his head again. “Captain Gu took him with him.”

Li Yuechan felt disappointed and said, “Alright, thank you, sir.”

Although Gu Zhixing hadn’t planned to go, after hearing that Feng Chuan’s whereabouts had been spotted at the train station, he feared they might be too busy to handle things, so he rushed over.

Meanwhile, Li Yuechan was torn. On one hand, she was afraid the radio station would be moved, leaving her with no evidence. On the other hand, she worried that if she took the radio station, the other side might discover it.

After struggling with the dilemma, she finally decided to return to Han Jinzhu’s house to store the radio in her space, keeping it close to her for safety.

She quickly made her way to her grandmother’s house afterward. She had made plans with her mother to go back together for lunch and celebrate her mother’s reinstatement to her position.

After eating, her grandmother suddenly said, “Oh, I almost forgot! Xuefeng wrote, and he replied to the letter about Xiao Chan joining the army last time.”

Li Yuechan’s ears immediately perked up at the mention of her little brother.

“Mom, what did he say?”

“He said their military district doesn’t have female soldiers, but there is a labor troupe with women. He’s not sure if Xiao Chan would be interested, but if she does, he can help introduce her.”

Li Yuechan frowned, feeling conflicted. Why was it always about the labor troupe? Last time, someone named Cheng wanted her to join it, and now her uncle was saying the same. It seemed that joining the army wasn’t that easy.

Then, she heard her grandmother continue, “But according to your uncle, they may be forming a women’s army in the future. He’s not sure when, but you can join the labor troupe for now, and if there’s any news, you’ll be the first to know.”

Li Yuechan tilted her head, pondering for a moment. “Alright, I’ll think about it.”

Su Lizhen suddenly voiced her concern, “Xiao Chan, the girls in the labor troupe can dance and sing. You don’t seem to know how to do any of that.”

Li Yuechan felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. The original owner really didn’t know how to do much.

But she did! After all, she was born into a wealthy family, and as a “rich second generation” with a beautiful and privileged background, her mother had taught her to play instruments, sing, and perform arts from a young age. She had learned all kinds of skills.

Though she had gone through a rough period in her life, the things ingrained in her from childhood hadn’t been forgotten.

But she couldn’t admit it. She coughed a couple of times and said, “Mom, don’t you remember? I sang at the school’s gathering during high school.”

“Well, the singing you did might be different from what the labor troupe expects, though.”

“Ah, Mom, it’s all the same. When your daughter stands there, she’ll instantly dazzle their eyes.”

A group of people burst out laughing, and Grandma joined in, saying, “Oh yes, yes, when our Xiao Chan stands there, why would she need to sing? Just her looks alone would steal the show.”

Su Lizhen gave her mother a look. She knew exactly what her daughter was capable of, but she decided not to criticize her for now.

Everyone laughed and finished their lunch happily. Su Lizhen went off to work, and Li Yuechan hopped on her bike to head home.

Meanwhile, outside the police station, Gu Zhixing spoke on the phone in a low voice, “Commander Yao, I have an update to report.”

“Finally! You’re calling me. How’s the situation on your end?”

“We’ve successfully destroyed an enemy spy den, capturing six spies, including Feng Chuan. He came to Su City to deliver intelligence. We found a radio transmitter in the den, and also…”

“And what else?”

“We also found a blueprint for weapons. It seems to be Professor Cai’s work.”

Yao Zhenhua sprang to his feet in surprise. “What did you say? Professor Cai?”

“Yes, have you seen Professor Cai in person?”

“No, I’ve interrogated these people. They were just responsible for passing on information. However, this blueprint was brought by Feng Chuan from Luoan, and it was handed over to him by Qian Guoguang. As for where Qian got it, I’ll arrest him as soon as I return to Luoan.”

Yao Zhenhua paused for a moment, then said, “Xiao Gu, at this point, everything revolves around Professor Cai’s safety. We must not alert the enemy. I’ll arrange for personnel to take over in Su City. Your main task is to find Professor Cai.”

“Understood, Commander.”

“Oh, by the way, you mentioned that Li Xiangdong’s political review was completed. I used special channels to bring him into our team officially. How is this young man? I don’t want to be proven wrong.”

“Don’t worry, Commander. Li Xiangdong played a major role in capturing Feng Chuan.”

“Really?”

“When Feng Chuan arrived at the Su City train station, he was in disguise, but Li Xiangdong recognized him just from seeing a photo. Thanks to him, we were able to track Feng Chuan to Su City and locate the spy den.”

“Ha, this kid really has some skill?”

“He said he has a good eye for recognizing people. Even in disguise, he could still identify him. We were lucky to have him, otherwise, Feng Chuan might have escaped.”

“Well, that’s great. We need people like him. Don’t worry about him. I’ll take care of it. As for the spies in Luoan, you need to investigate further, especially in Da Huaishu Village. There’s definitely a big problem there. Any updates from Qian Guoguang?”

“Yes, Qian Guoguang discovered that Zheng Jun’s team goes up the mountain every evening. They seem to be searching for something but haven’t found anything yet. We now suspect that it’s something important, which is why they’ve been relentlessly searching. The key is, we haven’t found what they’re looking for yet.”

“Good, we must find that thing. Xiao Gu, this mission depends on you. I’ve also checked the situation of the units you mentioned. We have some targets now. Rest assured, by the time you return, we’ll have cleaned up the cancer in our ranks.”

“Understood, Commander.”
