Chapter 447: Clouds of Suspicion over the Secret Letter

After Lin Wanning finished translating the last character, she stretched and said impatiently, "He Yuzhu, the decoding is done, I'm going to sleep. Don't you wake me up!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she fell into a deep sleep.

He Yuzhu walked over and tucked the corners of the quilt in for her.

Seeing that she wasn't wearing any makeup, his heart suddenly tightened—if He Yushui or any of the children were to suddenly burst in, they would definitely recognize her.

He hurriedly took makeup supplies from his space, applied simple makeup to her face, and stuck on a fake beard and fake eyebrows, only then feeling slightly relieved.

Afterwards, he picked up the Secret Letter that had just been translated, and after reading only a few lines, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

This document was compiled far too "professionally."

The letter depicted Tian Dan as the chief person in charge of the "Plum Blossom Project," with as many as a hundred subordinates.

He Yuzhu dared not delay and immediately called Tian Dan.

On the other end of the line, Tian Dan's voice was clearly laced with fatigue: "I am Tian Dan, who is this?"

"I need to see you." He Yuzhu's tone was grave.

Tian Dan immediately realized something was wrong, lowered her voice, and said, "I was just thinking of buying some clothes, let's meet at the usual place."

He Yuzhu understood what she meant—it was Xueru Clothing Store—and immediately drove over there.

As soon as he entered the shop, he was met with Chen Xueru's icy face.

"I thought you were never coming over again in this lifetime?" Chen Xueru said coldly.

He Yuzhu immediately put on a smiling face: "I've been way too busy lately, there are several matters I have to keep an eye on personally."

"I don't believe you." Chen Xueru snorted, reached directly to his waist, and gave it a fierce pinch, "You must have found some female confidante and forgotten all about me, right?"

He Yuzhu winced in pain and hurried upstairs, with Chen Xueru in hot pursuit.

As soon as the two entered the Manager's office, Chen Xueru locked the door, and the next second she threw herself into his arms, pressing her lips against his.

He Yuzhu hurriedly pushed her away and whispered: "Tian Dan is coming in a moment, we have important matters to discuss, I'm borrowing your place."

Only then did Chen Xueru let go, glaring at him: "You're not allowed to leave after you're done talking."

"I won't leave, we'll eat together." He Yuzhu quickly agreed.

Not long after, Tian Dan arrived.

Chen Xueru greeted her, then tactfully went downstairs, leaving the office to the two of them.

He Yuzhu handed the translated Secret Letter directly to her.

Tian Dan read it for a long time, her brows knitting tighter and tighter, and she cursed under her breath: "I am Plum Blossom A, and there are Plum Blossom K and Plum Blossom 2 in the Municipal Bureau... This is fucking insidious, they are trying to completely muddy the waters of the Municipal Bureau!"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Look, this section of your background was fabricated even more viciously, especially the part about you and Feng Qingbo... How are you going to explain these things?"

Cold sweat seeped from Tian Dan's forehead as she said: "What I'm truly afraid of isn't this, but that Zhou Hao, in order to frame me, has likely already shown our top-secret files to Mei Feng. My personal background was also investigated by him, which is a serious violation. He has completely lost all bottom lines..."

"Sister, why do you still hold illusions about that kid even now!" He Yuzhu asked.

Tian Dan gave a bitter smile: "Our plan from last night has to be completely changed. Mei Feng escaped from the detention center; it was the secret agents hidden within our ranks who helped him. This case has already been filed, and Li Xiangxiu is investigating. I suspect Zhou Hao intentionally let him out to act as support on the outside, intending to completely bring me down."

Only then did He Yuzhu confirm that the person he had caught in the early hours of the morning was indeed Mei Feng.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Dan, if I catch Mei Feng, will it be of help to you?"

Tian Dan shook her head: "Let's not talk about that for now. Do me a favor, you must hurry over and retrieve that letter. This letter they fabricated is too vicious, and there are indeed a few experiences of mine that I cannot explain clearly! Once it is publicized, I will be unable to defend myself!"

He Yuzhu thought about it and had to admit this point.

After all, Tian Dan had studied abroad, spent time in Shanghai, and had been in a relationship with a double agent, and the Tian family had close ties with the Shen Shichang family; putting all these together made it too suspicious.

"Dan, you've got me confused too. Tell me, what should I do?" He Yuzhu was also at a loss.

Tian Dan said in a low voice: "You go quickly, you must get that letter."

He Yuzhu nodded: "No problem."

"Go quickly, a long delay means more trouble." Tian Dan urged.

Nine hours ago.

On the road from Badaling to Si Jiu Cheng, the car Zhou Hao was driving was going so fast it was almost flying.

Compared to the wheels, his brain was spinning even faster: "Lao Liu, Xiao Geng cannot be kept this time. You go back and finish him off. Pin the entire matter of Mei Feng's escape on him."

Lao Liu's body gave a violent jolt. He had killed many people, but he had never killed one of his own. But since he had botched the job and there was no room for maneuver, he might as well go through with it.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Team Leader Zhou, give me the specifics, I will definitely complete the mission!"

"There are three hours left until the shift change. You must drive to the outside of the Municipal Bureau within these three hours, sneak into the compound, snap Xiao Geng's neck, hide the body in the sewer, and then find an opportunity to transport it away later," Zhou Hao said calmly.

"That won't be difficult for me." Lao Liu said in a low voice.

"Also, Xiao Geng changes shifts at eight o'clock. You must stuff this letter and the codebook into his personal belongings before then." Zhou Hao took the items out of his bag and handed them to Lao Liu.

"I can put them in while everyone is out for morning exercises," Lao Liu said.

Six hours ago.

Zhou Hao took the codebook and secret telegram confiscated from Xiao Geng and rushed into the Telecommunications Section.

He placed the items on Lao Di's desk: "Master Lao Di, this is an emergency. Take a look at this secret telegram, how long will it take to translate?"

Lao Di glanced at it, flipped through the codebook, and laughed: "Has this secret agent lost his mind? Why would he carry a codebook with him? With these two things, I can definitely have it out by the end of the shift."

"Can you make it any faster?" Zhou Hao lowered his voice, "There's a secret agent within our ranks, it's very dangerous."

As he spoke, he took two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Lao Di pulled one out, lit it, and said: "For the sake of these two packs of cigarettes, I'll do my best!"

Half an hour ago.

Zhou Hao was suddenly shaken awake, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lao Di's stubbly face.

"It's translated," Lao Di said, "It looks like a rendezvous point—Badaling Great Wall, Chadao Village, on the mountainside, Laojun Cave. This place is quite strange."

Zhou Hao's spirits lifted: "Excellent, let's move immediately, we might just catch a big fish."

He Yuzhu drove at high speed the whole way, and after more than two hours, he arrived at the outskirts of Chadao Village.

The sky was still bright, so he put the car into his space one kilometer away from the village, then bypassed the main road and climbed directly onto the dilapidated Great Wall, moving quickly along the ramparts.

After running a few hundred meters, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

By the side of the road ahead, two vehicles from the Municipal Bureau were parked there.

He Yuzhu's heart sank abruptly.

If they were to get their hands on that letter first, no matter the outcome, Tian Dan's reputation would suffer a devastating blow—especially the part about her being in a relationship with a double agent.
