Chapter 18 Tasks and Minds
At the dinner table, Wu Xiaoqi wanted to ask Sister Ping several times who were last night and the two men during the day, but whenever her eyes fell on her face, he swallowed the words involuntarily.
Jiang Ping's thoughts were a little confused. It was not because of the absent-minded brother in front of her, she could see that her brother had something to do, but at this moment she really had no time to take care of the thoughts of this half-baby.
Last night, the companions of the Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group of the Military Commission Special Operations Group came over and conveyed an order to get rid of the traitor Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong was the Military Control Commission spy who was captured a few months ago and rebelled. He confessed to the entire Military Control Commission lurking organization in the provincial capital, which not only caused the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group to suffer a catastrophe, but also caused the Military Control Commission in the provincial capital to be almost completely destroyed.
The military commander's family rules are very strict, so Dai Li will naturally not sit idly by and watch a traitor with his own blood go to justice, so he issued a death order to kill him before New Year's Eve. Dai Li's meaning is very clear. People like this cannot let him have the life to spend this New Year.
Jiang Ping really didn't expect that such an order would be given at this time. Although she was not the one who led the task, it was not a good thing. Since the last time President Gong of the Chamber of Commerce was stabbed, the Japanese have significantly strengthened their guards in the city. Not to mention the strict defense of the headquarters, even the puppet army and many traitors have sent additional personnel. This is still openly, and there are still some measures to guard against it in secret. It is difficult to remove Zhang Tong at this time.
She originally thought that the New Year was about to celebrate and she could have a peaceful and happy New Year's Eve with her younger brother. Once this order came, everything would be gone. Jiang Ping had a premonition that this action would most likely fail, and she would most likely be exposed.
I was already very confused, but I didn't expect that in the morning, I suddenly saw the secret code from the newspaper that the organization asked her to go to the head.
When Jiang Ping saw this code that asked her to answer the phone, she felt even more uneasy. As an agent who had been lurking silently, she knew very well that if there was no major event, the organization would not wake her up. If there was no extreme emergency, the organization would not use such awakening method to awaken her. At that time, she knew very well that this year would not be able to pass through peace of mind.
When the joint came back, Jiang Ping's mood was already low to the bottom. The reason why the organization awakened him was also a traitor. A traffic officer of the Central G Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee was accidentally arrested in Nanjing, and was later coerced and rebelled by the Japanese and puppets. When this person was captured, fortunately a comrade witnessed it with his own eyes and urgently notified the comrades who had contact with him on all lines in Nanjing to retreat, avoiding losses.
Nothing was found in Nanjing, so the Japanese and puppets took him to Peking, preparing to cause a bloody storm in Pingjin and Baoding areas, because this person was transferred from the provincial capital to Nanjing.
Fortunately, the comrade lurking inside the enemy issued a timely warning, which caused the enemy's move to die. After the Pingjin area was still nothing, the person was taken to Baoding. The Minister of Social Affairs issued an order to remove the traitors, which was also the reason why Jiang Ping suddenly awakened.
Unlike the Military Control Commission, she was just a helper. This time, the organization has clearly stated that she should take the lead in the fight against traitors. Because this person has worked in Baoding for several years, almost every comrade on every line has dealt with him. In the current provincial capital, except for Jiang Ping who has been transferred recently, no one else is in line to perform this task.
Two tasks of killing traitors, two heavy burdens were pressed on her body at the same time. Even if Jiang Ping was strong, she felt a little overwhelmed, so even though she found that Wu Xiaoqi had something to worry about, she didn't have the energy to ask about it again.
"Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Seeing that Sister Ping was just staring at her blankly, and she didn't move a bowl of rice from beginning to end, Wu Xiaoqi finally couldn't help but speak.
"No...no, you eat, I have no appetite." Jiang Ping's thoughts were pulled back by Wu Xiaoqi's sudden words, and she answered a little flustered.
"Sister, are you worried? Or are you having any problems?"
What Wu Xiaoqi asked was not like a minor boy at all, which surprised Jiang Ping, but the invisible "light" emitted from this kid these days made her not too surprised at this time.
"Sister is fine. I just thought that the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated. In the past, my sister was alone, but now she has a younger brother, so she will definitely be very happy this year." Of course, Jiang Ping would not tell him what she thought, not because she was worried that he would say it out, but because she was unwilling to implicate Wu Xiaoqi into her vortex.
"Yes, I have been celebrating the New Year alone in the past few years. This year, I have a sister. If you call the aunt and Xiaosi, we can have a lively New Year."
Wu Xiaoqi looked very happy, but hidden behind his energetic, he was deeply worried about his sister.
With Sister Ping these days, Wu Xiaoqi felt that this was the happiest time he had ever lived this year. He lost his mother since he was a child, and his father abandoned him a few years ago. Although the neighbors took good care of him, especially Uncle Wu, treating him like a relative, it is inevitable that some unintentional things will hurt him. These inadvertent things make Wu Xiaoqi very sensitive. He will be a little stubborn and a little particularly concerned about self-esteem. This may be the characteristic of many orphans.
He would put his thoughts on his face, but he was better at hiding them in his heart. Just like now, his face was filled with the cheerfulness of a young man, but he was filled with worries in his heart.
Jiang Ping only thought to have known Wu Xiaoqi for four or five months. Although she knew him very well, in fact, Wu Xiaoqi still has many unknown things hidden by him.
He did not tell Sister Ping that he was familiar with guns, he did not tell Sister Ping that he seemed to be naturally good at tracking, he did not tell Sister Ping that he was very good at running around, he did not tell Sister Ping that he wanted it very much and was able to help her.
In the eyes of Sister Ping, Wu Xiaoqi, who was as happy as a child, was a normal performance that a teenager should have. She would never allow him to lose the character that a teenager should have because of herself. She would never allow him to lose the happiness on her face because of herself. She would never allow Xiaoqi's rare qualities to disappear because of herself.
"Okay, you have the final say. Let's call the aunt and Xiao Si to celebrate the New Year together."
The smile on Jiang Ping's face was not pretending. She really longed to spend the New Year like this, with elderly people, children, herself and her younger brother. But can this wish be achieved? Jiang Ping herself was also unsure, so she had to pray that she could complete these two tasks smoothly.
But will it go smoothly? Jiang Ping asked herself.
Impossible! The answer is yes.
