Chapter 54: Obligatory Intelligence Officer

  He walked over to the phone and dialed a familiar number for Sun Heng. As soon as he picked up, he asked, "You called me?"

  Sun Heng replied to me very affirmatively: "Yes. 81 Chinese Network . How come you're only returning my message now? It's been several hours already. Right, don't speak yet, let me ask you, are you little guy going back to school soon?"

  I had just said a "yes", and Sun Heng already said: "Before you go back, come to my place first, we have an old saying in Chen's family, let the young man come over to receive the award."

  As soon as I heard the two words "receive award", I suddenly became excited: "What kind of award? Is it because I was brave and righteous, so they gave me a prize or something?"

  "Cut it out! That thing is already in the past, don't think too much about it. Honestly, the reward Chen Lao gave you, you'll never guess it in your lifetime."

  I was stunned: "Something you can't guess in a lifetime? What is that thing?"

  Sun Heng smiled and said: "I won't tell you for now, you'll know when you get here. Also, remember this number, it's your code from now on."

  I was puzzled: "What code? How could I have a code?"

  Sun Heng said seriously: "This is a code that you can use to contact me and some people who are like me. With this code, you can directly contact us after the personnel of the current Wanlong Association... do you understand?"

  I still didn't quite understand Sun Heng's meaning, so I asked: "In other words, this is your secret contact number? Does that mean I'm one of you now? Are you treating me as your voluntary informant?"

  Sun Heng smiled wryly and said, "Can you not make it sound so difficult? At worst, I'll give you a salary of 2,000 yuan per month. How about that?"

  I laughed and said loudly: "Two thousand is a bit too little, at least... Ah, how's Chen Jing doing? Why isn't she answering my calls?"

  Sun Heng smiled and said: "I heard that a certain someone is now at home having fun, so no one dares to disturb you."

  I was taken aback and immediately cursed: "You're still my brother, how can you be so treacherous? You're not a good thing either!"

  Sun Heng hastily said: "It's not me who told her, I didn't say anything, you little scoundrel is framing an innocent person."

  I was furious: "Then who told her? I don't believe it, she's not a goddess, if no one told her, how did she know all this?"

  Sun Heng was still smiling, and said in a very low voice: "Do you know what they call a wall that's not soundproof? You've done a good job, she's known about it for a long time. It's amazing how clever you think you are, thinking no one knows you're a philanderer..."

  I feel I've been wronged, loudly arguing: "Who's the flirtatious big radish? Can't you stop talking nonsense?! I... believe it or not, I'll tell my cousin about this and have her stay away from you..."

  My words had barely fallen when I heard the voice of my cousin: "Jin Cang, what are you looking for me? I'm right next to Sun Heng, just say it straight..."

  I felt like I was going to pass out, and unexpectedly, the threat to Sun Heng didn't work, instead, my cousin teased me with a smile: "Cousin, when did you go to Sun Heng's place? How come I didn't know about it?"

  "Ha!" exclaimed my older cousin, "How can I possibly tell you about this?"

  I thought so too, and stopped joking with my cousin, instead asking Sun Heng: "What's going on? Does Old Chen really want me to go over there for a visit?"

  Sun Heng said affirmatively: "That's right, it's you who should come over, and within three days."

  I took a glance around and quietly calculated the time, saying: "Alright then, I'll set off this afternoon. If everything goes smoothly, I should arrive by tomorrow evening before dark."

  Sun Heng reminded me and hung up the phone.

  I put down the phone and returned to the dinner table, eating while saying to my parents: "Dad and mom, I'm leaving with Hui Jie and them this afternoon. Sun Heng asked me to go to his place for something."

  My parents nodded and my mother stood up to help me pack my luggage.

  Dongfang Yu listened to what I said and without another word followed her mother to pack up their luggage, I couldn't say anything else and had no choice but to let her be.

  Zhou Hui and Bai Feng looked at me with a strange expression, but didn't say anything.

  Li Huanhuan looked at me strangely and whispered, "Didn't we agree to leave the day after tomorrow? Why did you suddenly change the time again? I haven't even packed yet, how can I go with you?"

  I thought for a moment and didn't say much more, only saying: "You go pack up quickly, we'll leave together in a bit."

  Li Huanhuan was suddenly delighted and went to collect her luggage herself.

  Du Yifei looked at us, one by one, busy packing our luggage. In a hurry, she grabbed my hand and said hastily: "Are you guys going to school right away? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I also want to go to school with you."

  I forced a smile and explained: "Hui Jie is going back to work, Bai Feng is heading home, Yu'er and I are going to visit a friend, we won't be back at school for several days. You can stay home for a few more days, it's not too late to go back when school starts."

  Du Yifei rolled her eyes and said, "Stop lying to me, are you saying that Huanhuan also went to find your friend?"

  I knew Du Yifei had misunderstood, so I carefully said: "Don't think too much, I really didn't deceive you. Remember how I was being chased before? This time Sun Heng came to find me, probably because of this matter. Huanhuan Jie is also a party involved, so she has to go over there too."

  Du Yifei still didn't quite believe me, and after releasing my hand, she ran over to her father Du Sizhi and said: "Dad, drink a little less wine, we still have to head back later."

  Du Siqi was already a bit drunk at this time, squinting his eyes and saying: "It's early, it's okay to go home tonight, what's the hurry?"

  Du Yifei looked at Du Sizhi who was drunk and wanted to say something but stopped.

  Miss, don't worry, we'll invite Jin Cang and the others to our home for a night, and after buying train tickets, we'll go with you. We won't delay your business.

  Du Yifei was overjoyed and hastily said to me: "Let's do it this way, you guys go to my place tonight, and after I buy the train tickets, we'll head out together."

  "I thought for a moment and said: 'Alright. Now we have two cars, we can go together. But as for going to your home to stay, it depends on their own intentions, I cannot represent everyone.'"

  Du Yifei pouted and said: "Who wouldn't listen to you? Don't be modest, just come to my house to stay, after all, it's just one night."

  I nodded and then said to Zhou Hui and Bai Feng: "Have you both packed up? We'll be leaving soon. Let's go to Du Yifei's house for the night first, and after buying train tickets, we'll set off together."

  Zhou Hui smiled and said: "I and Bai Feng can't go to Feifei's house to live, because we have already bought train tickets, and we will leave tonight."

  I suddenly remembered that Zhou Hui and Bai Feng had already bought their train tickets, and they would have to leave tonight. So I nodded: "Then at that time, I'll see you off. After a few days when I return to school, we can chat again."

  Zhou Hui smiled and nodded, no longer speaking. But Bai Feng ignored me, as if she hadn't heard what I said at all.

  I also knew that Bai Feng would not bother with me and didn't think much of it, so I turned around and went to talk to the others. As a result, except for Zhou Hui and Bai Feng, everyone else agreed to go to Du Yifei's house to stay overnight.

  I don't know what they're thinking, but I feel it's quite unexpected. After all, Dongfang Yu should not agree to go to Du Yifei's house, and Li Huanhuan shouldn't either.

  After finishing packing, Du Siqi was also almost done drinking and was supported by us to get on the car, and everyone left together.

  My parents looked at me with worried eyes, but I could only smile and didn't dare to say much, afraid that my words would make them even more worried.

  A child travels a thousand miles, and the mother worries. I know my parents are worried about me. With the recent pursuit of Wanlong, they are even more concerned about my safety. This is still the result after I concealed many facts. If I told them everything, they might not let me out of the house.

  The car had just driven a short distance when my mobile phone suddenly rang. I took a look at the incoming number and was surprised to find that it was Chen Jing's.

  As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Jing said: "I booked a train ticket for you tonight, hurry up and leave. Take the train at 8 o'clock in the evening. When you arrive at the station, go straight to the ticket office to pick up your ticket. I...I will meet you at the train station here, be careful on the road."

  Hearing such concern for me, I was overjoyed and couldn't help but loudly say to Dongfang Yu sitting next to me: "Great, I can take the train at 8 o'clock tonight, Chen Jing helped me book the ticket..."

  Dongfang Yu hadn't even had time to speak when Li Huanhuan, sitting in the front row, "cut" in with a "psst" and said: "It's just a train ticket, what's there to be so shocked about?"

  "She never used to care about me, but now she's even booking train tickets for me and telling me to be careful on the road. She's showing concern for me, how can I not be happy?"

  Dongfang Yu suddenly pushed me hard and said loudly, "Since that's the case, you can get off the bus now and go see your Chen Jing. Don't stay on our bus, it's too annoying."

  I was stunned, and then I remembered something, so I had to shut my mouth and didn't dare say anything else. Li Huanhuan also turned around and glared at me fiercely, her gaze could have killed someone.

  All the way, no one spoke to me again, as if I were an invisible person. When we arrived at the county town, Li Huanhuan directly threw me at the entrance of the train station and left with Dongfang Yu without saying a word.

  I looked at the large trunk of luggage, and was in a dilemma. These were all things I had to bring to school, but there was no need to bring them to Beijing. Originally, I planned to let Dongfang Yu and Li Huanhuan help me take them to school, but now they didn't care.

  With luggage in hand, I walked into the train station and went to the ticket window. As soon as I said it, I immediately got a ticket for tonight's 8 o'clock train to Beijing.

  According to the ticket, I can arrive in Beijing at 2 am tomorrow morning. However, trains are often delayed these days, and it's estimated that I won't be able to arrive at Beijing Railway Station until around 4 or 5 am tomorrow morning.

  I looked at the time and it was already 6:50 in the evening, so I didn't delay any longer and went straight to the ticket gate to wait.

  At this time, my mobile phone rang again. Soon I heard Sun Heng's voice: "Get on the special passage, and come to the dining car after getting on the train. I'm in the dining car."

  I was overjoyed and immediately ran over to tell the station staff at the ticket gate, then boarded the train directly from a special passage.

  The dining car was in the last carriage of the train, and I soon found Sun Heng. At this time, Sun Heng was fully armed, with five soldiers sitting next to him, also fully armed, as if they were facing a great enemy.

  I suddenly became nervous and quickly asked Sun Heng: "Weren't you in Beijing this afternoon? How did you appear here again?"

  Sun Heng's face was unusually serious, and his tone was also very serious: "Don't ask too much, you can stay here and go to the capital with us."

  I glanced at the other five soldiers, swallowed my doubts and sat down in a position, no longer speaking.

  Sun Heng nodded slightly at me, indicating that I didn't need to be tense. I also smiled back at him slightly, without saying a word.

  At this time, a soldier suddenly said: "Boss, are we too nervous? Will Wan Long really make a big move?"

  Another soldier also said: "The main members of the Ten Dragons Society have all been controlled by us, where can they get the power to carry out a big action?"

  Sun Heng looked at me and said slowly, "We are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders. Since our superiors have sent us here on a mission, they must have received accurate intelligence, so let's not doubt anything and get ready to respond to any unexpected events."

  The five soldiers responded in unison: "Yes, leader."

  I couldn't help but glance at the six of them, and I started to feel tense without realizing it. It seems that I'm also unlucky, having finally gotten Chen Jing's attention, only to step into a trap again. Who knows what big move Wang Long will make this time, and yet I've managed to stumble upon it again - I'm really cursed!

  Sun Heng perhaps knew what I was thinking and whispered to me, "If there's any unusual movement on the train later, don't leave here, we'll take care of everything, remember."

  I nodded and couldn't help but ask: "Is it just an action against this train of goods or a very big action?"

  Sun Heng shook his head: "The intelligence we have is limited, and all we know is that this train may be the target of the Wanlong Society's operation. As for whether the Wanlong Society will take action against other targets, I'm not clear. If you're worried about your family, you can call them. But don't say anything too scary, lest it cause unnecessary panic."

  I nodded and quickly called my parents, telling them not to leave home easily for the time being and not to come to the county town.

  Then I called Dongfang Yu and others to let them stay at Du Yifei's house, don't rush to school, wait for two days to see the situation before deciding what to do.

  Wait until I finish the call, Sun Heng said: "This time our main task is to eliminate the Wanlonghui gangsters who dare to commit crimes on this train. Everyone be careful, according to the intelligence we have received, the Wanlonghui gangsters may carry lethal weapons and it's not ruled out that they have installed explosives on this train, so everyone must be cautious to avoid unnecessary casualties."

  The soldiers immediately became tense, and I felt a bit tense too. This was not the first time I had encountered the Wanlonghui on a train. Last time, He Lao Wu had planted a bomb on the train to threaten the government, and I had happened to run into him. This time, I had unexpectedly run into something like this again...

  Sun Heng assigned tasks to his comrades in great detail, it can be said that everything was taken care of, extremely meticulous. After he finished speaking, his comrades changed into casual clothes and left one by one, probably to prepare for related matters.

  Sun Heng then said to me: "Don't be too nervous, maybe it's just a misunderstanding. We will do our best to protect everyone, including you."

  I forced a laugh: "I know what I'm doing, you don't have to worry about me. By the way, can I use my gun if necessary?"

  Sun Heng thought for a moment, and said with some concern: "Your shooting skills are not very good... Alright, when necessary, you can just use the gun to scare off people who want to harm you, but if you fire..."

  "Don't underestimate me, my marksmanship is very good now, within thirty meters, I'm absolutely one hundred percent accurate - at least I can hit the target."

  Sun Heng was taken aback, then suddenly thought of something: "Was it Li Huanhuan who taught you? Then use a gun, anyway, to ensure your own safety, using a gun is also an unavoidable thing. Right, you didn't bring a gun, did you? I have a spare handgun here, I'll give it to you in a while."

  As I spoke, I took the pistol handed over by Sun Heng and laughed: "With a gun in hand, I have the world. Ha ha..."

  "Stop spouting nonsense! With a gun in hand, you'll have nothing to worry about. Take good care of yourself, got it?"

  I responded with a sound, seeing Sun Heng also turn around and leave, then sat alone in the dining car, guarding the empty dining car.

  I thought of my current situation and suddenly remembered the old man Chen asking me to be a "volunteer informant". A volunteer informant, isn't that just another name for a spy? I secretly laughed at myself, holding my pistol and closing my eyes in deep contemplation.

  Time flew by and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, the train departed on schedule. I don't know if there were any passengers getting on the train, but if they did, there should be some, otherwise, Wan Long's **** would definitely raise suspicions, and Sun Heng's preparation work would have been done in vain.

  Of course, for safety considerations, perhaps the passengers on board are not ordinary people, but those with special identities.

  I waited patiently in the dining car, but I didn't see anyone else come to the dining car. Even the chef who cooked meals did not get on the train.

  After the train started, I listened carefully to the movement, but didn't find anything unusual.

  It was already ten o'clock at night, and everything seemed to have changed nothing. The whole train was quiet and terrifying. I quietly walked to the window and looked out, but only saw a piece of darkness.

  Perhaps it was a false intelligence, and there was no Wàn Lóng Huì member coming to cause trouble. I thought to myself, feeling slightly relieved, and couldn't help but slowly fall asleep in my chair.
