At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Tianhao brought Sun Xiaolan to the outside of Old Li's small general store.

Seeing that the grocery store was already closed, he felt somewhat helpless. After all, the matter hadn't even begun, and it was already over.

"Looks like he's not here. Shall we go find Old Zhou?"

"No need, it's probably too late for them to be in the shop. They're probably out on business. Let's go back."

Finding these two people is proving to be quite troublesome, and he sighed helplessly.

Let's leave him a signal!

"Ok!"

Sun Xiaolan simply placed a brick right next to Lao Li's grocery store, with it facing north.

"Is this enough?"

"Alright, that's all over. Let's go back. He should find out tomorrow and come looking for us."

"it is good!"

Both of them slowly walked back, with Zhang Tianhao pushing his bicycle.

"I'm a little tired, let's go for a bike ride."

"it is good!"

He immediately got on his bike and headed straight home, since it was quite far from his home.

……

On the bed, Zhang Tianhao was reading a book at the head of the bed, while Sun Xiaolan, wrapped in half a blanket, was sleeping on the other side, it was unclear whether she was asleep or not.

He found it amusing to watch her movements, which were almost like she was guarding against a thief. After all, he thought Sun Xiaolan's self-protective behavior was a bit too childish.

However, it's nothing.

He didn't intend to do anything. Just like yesterday, when Sun Xiaolan was sleeping, she somehow ended up clinging to him like an octopus, which made him feel a little awkward.

"Never mind, I'll read for a while before going to sleep!"

He thought about it for a moment, then stopped thinking about it and picked up the book, slowly reading it under the lamp.

Time passed by unnoticed.

Soon, he heard soft breathing coming from the bed. Zhang Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief and then got out of bed.

He carefully opened the door and stepped outside. He dragged over the recliner, said nothing, and quietly lay down on it.

Inside the room, Sun Xiaolan, who had been asleep, slightly opened her eyes and saw that the other half of the bed was no longer occupied.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but also seemed somewhat disappointed.

Knowing that Zhang Tianhao was lying alone on the recliner outside, he couldn't help but give a wry smile.

However, I still felt a little sweet inside, after all, Zhang Tianhao really seemed like a gentleman.

Sensing that the people inside were asleep, Zhang Tianhao got up from the recliner, sat up, and walked straight outside.

Not long after, he appeared directly at Lao Zhou's house.

Seeing Old Zhou and Old Li sitting there drinking tea, it seemed that they had just returned, and even their aura was cold.

"Old Li, how's the inquiry going over there?"

"Although they didn't say anything, the two families I asked both seemed a bit off. It was as if someone was specifically targeting them, and there were spies watching their homes all the time."

"It's the same on my side. Who would have thought that the Japanese sent two spies to keep an eye on my two houses? I guess the other houses are not much better off either."

"Ok!"

"By the way, when should we report this?"

"Let's talk to him tomorrow and see what he thinks. If he has any ideas, he can let us know so we can make the necessary arrangements."

"That's true, but these people might not be able to leave. After all, they all have large families, and it's not easy for them to leave." "Sigh, if they could all be sent to northern Jiangsu together, there wouldn't be any problem."

"That's true, but no matter how difficult it is to leave together, the Japanese won't agree, let alone spies!"

"So, this time things are a bit tricky."

"Alright, be careful when you go back later, it's not very safe right now."

While the two were still talking, Zhang Tianhao walked to the door and knocked lightly a few times.

"Who?"

"it's me!"

The two were tense in the room when they heard Zhang Tianhao's voice.

"Dr. Wang!"

"Okay, open the door!"

"Ok!"

Old Zhou was also taken aback, but he still opened the door and saw Zhang Tianhao standing at the door. As the door opened, the two almost bumped into each other.

"Why did you come here? Shouldn't you be at home at this time?"

"There's an emergency. I heard your conversation just now. This is an emergency."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of photos and a roll of film.

"I found this on the street tonight. I don't know if it's real or fake, but it looks like it might be. But we should take precautions."

"What are you..."

The two took the photos and examined them carefully. After all, something so important required careful consideration.

"it is good!"

After reading the plan, the two sat there in silence, as it was indeed difficult to make a judgment.

One is true, the other is false; whether it's true or false, they can't say for sure.

"Dr. Wang, could you tell me what happened just now?"

Zhang Tianhao explained the situation to the two of them, then looked at them with a somewhat complicated expression.

Underground work is difficult, but he may have fallen into a trap this time. However, it can't be said that he fell into a trap, since no one knows whether it's true or false.

If it's true, then everything is fine; if it's false, then the problem is much bigger.

"Dr. Wang, this news is likely false, especially the later sweep mission. It's impossible. After all, sweeping now would be completely pointless. On the contrary, the people are starving to death, and sweeping won't yield any food. It would be better to wait until the harvest to sweep."

"Secondly, it's possible that someone discovered you and did this, and they planned to test you when you arrived."

"Third, you went to Sun Xiaolan's house this time. Although it was chaotic there, there was very little gunfire. Moreover, it was on the route you would take to take Sun Xiaolan home. This seems to be a premeditated plan."

"However, you did a good job. You left an empty roll of film there, and it was an exposed roll of film. Even if these people wanted to investigate you, they would have no evidence."

"Fourth, you also need to be vigilant. Obviously, the Japanese or spies have already taken notice of you. If you make even the slightest mistake in your words or actions, it could cause a lot of trouble."

"So, Dr. Wang, from now on, don't do anything outside of work unless necessary. I think you understand that."

The two of them analyzed his behavior and the possible consequences for him, but as Zhang Tianhao listened, his mind was also frantically calculating.

Clearly, these two veteran comrades have far more experience in this area than he does.

"Thank you both. I understand what to do. If I'm not mistaken, if it really is a conspiracy, it's very likely that it's a trap set for me by the Doi-Yuan Organization."

"Then you need to be even more careful."

"Thank you, I'm leaving first."

He then pointed to the photos on the table and said seriously, "The photos, the film, should all be destroyed. Keeping them is truly useless." (End of Chapter)
