Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 581 Is this all a script?

When Guan Gu Shenqi arrived at the door, he saw that the two guards who were on duty had disappeared and were replaced by two new guards.

"Could it be!"

Guan Gu Shenqi looked a little panicked, then looked around and found that no one was following him.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was 11:30 in the evening and it was not yet time for the shift change. Did these two people get laid off early?

"Where are the two soldiers who were standing guard just now?"

"Section Chief Guan Gu, those two soldiers were taken away by Second Officer He Yingzhi."

Guan Gu Shenqi's heart felt as if there were two huge rocks pressing down on it, making it extremely heavy. It seemed that all this was a test for him!

Have I been suspected?

No, it's impossible. In order to protect the squid, the independent column hasn't given him any tasks for a long time. Therefore, he deliberately stayed away from the core intelligence for fear of arousing suspicion.

Is it because I deliberately distanced myself that I was suspected by others?

Guan Gu Shenqi walked out of the door in a daze.

Ever since he decided to become a nail codenamed "Squid", he had already put life and death aside. He was not afraid of death, but he did not want to put Tang Youyou in danger.

"Looks like we have to take a risk and go to Zui Xiang Lou!"

Guan Gu Shenqi rubbed his face, adjusted his expression, and then calmly went to Zui Xiang Lou again.

When they arrived at the second floor of Zui Xiang Lou, Guan Gu Shenqi still ordered a plate of braised beef, a plate of cold cucumbers, and a pot of white wine.

The frightened waiter also came over.

"Guangu Taijun, I didn't cause you any trouble just now, did I?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of it! Is that Miss Tang Youyou still here?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go call you right away!"

The waiter immediately retreated and closed the door of the box.

As soon as the door was closed, Guan Gu Shenqi stood up and checked the box twice, then quietly observed the surrounding situation through the crack in the door.

After making sure it was safe, he sat back at the table and poured himself a glass of white wine.

About three minutes later, Tang Youyou pushed open the door of the box with composure, and Guan Gu Shenqi immediately stood up, and their two eager and ardent eyes intertwined.

Tang Youyou closed the door behind her, then rushed towards Guan Gu Shenqi and was about to open her arms, but Guan Gu Shenqi stretched out her right hand.

"Comrade Tang Youyou, how are you? Are you in danger?"

Tang Youyou was in a trance for a moment, and then her fiery eyes turned cold. She also stretched out her right hand, and then said:

"Comrade Guan Gu Shenqi, we haven't found anything abnormal yet. But were you a little impulsive just now?"

Tang Youyou still believes that Guan Gu Shenqi was forced to reveal his identity because he was worried about her safety, and found an excuse to arrest Sato Sadaji.

"It's okay. It wasn't just about you. It was about an important clue!"

Tang Youyou's heart sank, although he knew that if Guan Gu Shenqi acted irrationally because of her, this line of intelligence might cause losses.

But when she heard his half-denial attitude, the girl's passion and anticipation in her heart were largely reduced.

Feeling lost, Tang Youyou muttered a few words:

"Oh, really? By the way, I also have an important mission to tell you!"

"Say it!"

After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he motioned for Tang Youyou to sit down.

"The superiors have a new task for us to immediately collect intelligence on how the Japanese will respond to the independent column's actions in Guisui.

Our independent column has completely cleared out the Japanese forces in Alxa, Bayannur, and Siwangzi Banner west of Ulanqab, but they are not taking any substantive actions now, which is very suspicious!"

Guan Gu Shenqi's eyes sparkled, but then suddenly dimmed.

"Oh, I thought I had this information, but now I realize it might be a trap!"

"what happened?"

When Tang Youyou heard that Guan Gu Shenqi might be in danger, she suddenly became anxious, and her eyebrows curved like a caterpillar.

Guan Gu Shenqi then told the whole story, and Tang Youyou's expression became more solemn.

"This is the situation. I can't guarantee whether I have been exposed. You and Manager Liu should evacuate first!"

"Comrade Guan Gu Shenqi, since safety cannot be guaranteed, you should also evacuate according to general work principles!"

Guan Gu Shenqi shook his head firmly. The Welfare Column was in urgent need of intelligence. If they evacuated now, all the previous work of staying behind for the purpose of lurking would be in vain, and they would not be able to obtain the key intelligence this time.

"The Independent Column needs me now, I can't leave!"

Tang Youyou desperately grabbed Guan Gu Shenqi's hand and shook it.

"Who do you think you are? Without you, the independent column will be unable to fight the Japanese? You should evacuate immediately!"

Guan Gu Shenqi smiled bitterly.

"Comrade Youyou, you also know that is the general working principle. The war is imminent, and we don't have any intelligence. Can we still follow the general working requirements now?"

"You don't have the final say, and neither do I. I will report this to my superiors immediately! Don't act impulsively before receiving the notification!"

Guan Gu Shenqi nodded. In order to do their utmost to avoid wrong decisions that would damage the overall interests of the team, any decision they made had to be discussed and decided by the organization in a unified manner.

"That's it, then. If I don't receive any notification from my superiors tomorrow morning, I will continue to search for intelligence. I still suggest that you evacuate immediately!"

"Okay, I'll go ask for instructions now!"

After Tang Youyou finished speaking, she turned around, and the moment her hand touched the door bolt, she turned around again, then reached towards her neck and took off a small jade Ruyi pendant.

Tang Youyou placed the jade Ruyi pendant in the palm of her hand, and then handed it to Guan Gu Shenqi's hand.

"Keep this, and be careful!"

After saying that, she opened the door and walked into the bustling and dimly lit place.

Guan Gu Shenqi held the jade ruyi pendant in his hand, felt its temperature, and then put it in his shirt pocket.

After drinking the white wine in the glass, Guan Gu Shenqi began to think about everything that happened today.

Before meeting Sato Sadaji today, everything was the same as before, but after meeting him, everything was like a script, and every link was closely connected.

If Takachiji had arrived a step later, Sato Sadaji would have been beaten to pieces.

If he had left the interrogation room earlier, Guan Gu Shenqi would have met the two guards at the door.

But if Sato Sadaji was an actor or a pawn, why did Takato Chiji care about his life or death? Wouldn't it be more realistic to let him be torn apart?

Therefore, Guan Gu Shenqi made up his mind to find out the identity of Sato Teiji before making a judgment!
