Chapter 523: The Southland of the Holes is Thrilling
In Luangong City, north of the bay, late at night, thick dark clouds seemed to weigh down the sky, and heavy rain poured down. Street lights swayed in the wind and rain, emitting a faint light. In such weather, people had already taken shelter in their warm homes, enjoying a night of tranquility. However, at this moment, Zhu Feng, the head of the Luangong Intelligence Group, braved the heavy rain and hurried to Bai Juxuan's residence.
Zhu Feng stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and calmed down. He knocked on the door in a rhythm of three long and two short according to the code agreed upon with Bai Juxuan in advance. This was a special way of communication between them, just in case someone discovered it.
Inside the door, Bai Juxuan heard a knock on the door, immediately put down the book in his hand, and walked quickly to the door. He looked through the crack in the door and saw Zhu Feng standing in the rain, and he was startled.
Bai Juxuan quickly opened the door, and Zhu Feng squeezed in sideways through the crack in the door. His clothes were soaked and rain was dripping down his hair, but he didn't seem to care at all.
"Team Leader Zhu, why are you here?" Bai Juxuan closed the door and asked anxiously.
Zhu Feng looked solemn. He looked around and confirmed that there was no one else. Then he whispered, "According to the accurate information from our insider lurking in the Southern Kingdom Military Command, your attempt to persuade Zong Yuan to surrender has been exposed. You are in a very dangerous situation now. You must move immediately."
Bai Juxuan was stunned when he heard the news. He stared at Zhu Feng with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"How is it possible?" he blurted out, "My contacts with Zong Yuan have always been secret and have not alerted anyone. Where did they get the information from?"
Zhu Feng sighed and shook his head, "They have installed monitoring equipment in Zong Yuan's residence and headquarters. Even around Zong Yuan, there are many people who are pawns planted by the Military Control Commission. Although Zong Yuan is smart, he is still too careless and did not realize that there are eyes and ears all around him."
Bai Juxuan frowned, his expression becoming more serious. He looked at Zhu Feng and said firmly, "Team Leader Zhu, this means that Zong Yuan is in a very dangerous situation. If we can't pass the message to him in time, once Zong Yuan has an accident, all our efforts will be in vain!"
After hearing this, Zhu Feng took a deep breath. He also understood the seriousness of this consequence. He sighed and responded, "The most important thing now is to ensure your own safety. If you fall into the hands of the Military Control Department, our intelligence network in Liuwan will be uprooted. This is an unbearable loss!"
The two looked at each other and saw determination and resolve in each other's eyes.
They understood that at this moment, there was no room for hesitation or delay.
Bai Juxuan quickly walked to the table nearby and began to pack up important documents.
Zhu Feng walked to the corner, opened a hidden cabinet, and took out a radio. These were their core secrets, and if they were discovered by the Military Control Department, the consequences would be disastrous.
The two men moved quickly and orderly, throwing the documents one by one into the furnace. The flames jumped, devouring the papers, and seemed to devour their blood, sweat and tears. The radio was dismantled into parts and destroyed one by one.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard. Bai Juxuan and Zhu Feng's hearts tightened, and they looked at each other, seeing tension and anxiety in each other's eyes.
"Oh no, maybe someone from the Military Control Commission has arrived!" Zhu Feng said in a low voice.
Bai Juxuan said nothing. He quickly threw the last document into the stove and put out the fire. The two picked up the backpacks that had been prepared long ago, which contained some necessary items and dry food.
"We have to leave the tunnel quickly!" Zhu Feng whispered.
The two quickly walked to the corner of the yard, where there was an inconspicuous stone slab cover. Bai Juxuan pushed the stone slab open with force, revealing a dark entrance.
"You go down first, I'll cover you." Zhu Feng said.
Bai Juxuan nodded, squatted down, and went into the tunnel. The tunnel was dark and damp, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Bai Juxuan carefully lit the torch in his hand and stuck his head out of the tunnel entrance: "Team Leader Zhu! Let's go!"
Zhu Feng followed closely behind. As soon as he entered the tunnel, he heard noise and shouting coming from outside.
The two did not dare to stop for a moment, they rushed along the tunnel. The tunnel was pitch black, and they could only rely on the light of the torches in their hands to identify the direction.
But they were very familiar with this place and had a smooth journey.
"We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place to hide." Zhu Feng whispered.
Less than three minutes after Bai Juxuan and Zhu Feng left the house, a loud noise shook the entire night sky.
The gate was kicked open, and a burly man in a black suit led 20 to 30 men in black to file in. They all had murderous looks on their faces, and were obviously well-trained military operatives.
The big man looked around with a sharp gaze, and he shouted sternly: "Search! We must not let the Northern bandits' spies escape!"
"Yes!" the men in black answered in unison, and then dispersed and began to search the house carefully. They opened the cabinets, turned over the beds, and even searched the spider webs in the corners.
However, after a careful search, they did not find any useful clues except for the medicine box and some daily necessities left by Bai Juxuan. The big man's face gradually became gloomy. He understood that the two northern thieves must have escaped from here.
"Chief, there are no other findings here." A man in black walked up to the big man and reported in a low voice.
The big man nodded, and he looked around, his eyes revealing a keen intuition. He thought to himself, since these two spies were able to hide here, there must be other passages here. Otherwise, they would not have disappeared without a trace under his nose.
Thinking of this, the big man immediately ordered: "Search again! We must find the passage they left!"
The men in black took action again, and they began to search every corner of the house more carefully. This time, they not only checked the ground and walls, but also carefully checked every inch of the roof and underground.
However, after searching for a while, they still found nothing. The big man's face became more and more ugly. He knew that the two spies must have used some means to cover their tracks.
At this moment, a man in black suddenly pointed to a stone slab in the corner and said, "Director, there is a stone slab here, and it seems to be empty underneath."
Hearing this, the big man immediately walked to the stone slab and pushed it open, revealing a dark entrance. The big man was delighted, because he knew that this tunnel must be the passage through which the two enemy intelligence officers left.
"They ran away from here!" the big man shouted, "Quick! Send someone to chase them!"
The men in black immediately took action, jumping into the tunnel one after another, ready to chase the escaping spies. However, they did not know that Bai Juxuan and Zhu Feng were already at the other end of the tunnel, away from danger, rushing towards a safe place.
