My girlfriend is from 1949

Instantly, everyone in the office sprang into action.

Most people were using Mauser C96 pistols, and a few even took out submachine guns from under the cabinet!

In the early days after liberation, the situation was not stable.

The management of firearms was completely different from that of later generations.

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, banditry and espionage activities were rampant, and the social security situation was severe.

When the Ministry of Public Security was established in November 1949, in order to effectively combat crime and maintain public order, the vast majority of front-line police officers, including criminal police, traffic police, and patrol police, were equipped with pistols for duty.

At that time, there was no standardized police gun in China, and the equipment consisted mostly of "international" weapons captured during the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation.

For example, German-made Mauser pistols, Japanese-made Nambu pistols, and American-made Colts have different calibers, making logistical management difficult.

Even traffic police carry guns, let alone the Social Affairs Department, which is specifically tasked with countering espionage!

At a single command, everyone checked their weapons and rushed out in an orderly fashion.

"Wow, I already have a mission right after reporting for duty!"

Chen Huai'an had just sat down and was checking the drawers and cabinets for any other items left behind.

I hadn't even warmed my seat when the mission came.

However, he showed no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, he appeared excited.

Catching spies was something I only saw in movies and TV shows before, but today I can finally experience it for myself!

He urged, "Wanwan, hurry, let's catch up!"

But as soon as he stood up, a strong hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"You two have just arrived, so take your time to familiarize yourselves with the surroundings. You don't need to participate in this mission!"

His voice was calm, yet it conveyed a firm attitude.

In Tian Guorong's view, the two young men played a pivotal role, serving as a link between the Public Security Bureau and Bureau 306.

The tasks that are usually carried out discreetly in the middle belong to the clerical staff.

It's best to avoid assigning tasks like catching spies if possible.

This is also for their safety.

Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow and immediately objected.

He made a special application, which even alarmed the central government to make a decision, just so he could be a real policeman, solve cases, catch bad guys, and maybe even catch some spies.

If all you're going to do is stay in the office, you might as well not time travel at all!

He shook his head and said, "Section Chief, we are all from the same section, you can't treat us differently!"

If you take us with you, we might be able to help!

By the way, we used to be underground party members too, just not in the police commission!

We're very skilled, so don't worry!

These statements are only half true, and even the claim that he used to be an underground party member is only half true.

His military skills were limited to high school and college military training.

He only learned how to fire a gun the night he arrived.

Seeing the pleading look in Lin Wan's eyes, she said, "Don't worry, Section Chief, we won't hold you back."

Tian Guorong carefully examined the two of them, quickly weighing the options in his mind.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You must obey orders completely, is that alright?"

Chen Huai'an straightened his back and said firmly, "I guarantee to obey orders!"

Tian Guorong waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the office.

He arranged, "You'll be in the same car as me!"

These two were personally assigned by the bureau chief, who also gave them strict instructions: even if they got a scratch, he should be punished!

Allowing them to go on missions together now already involves taking a huge risk.

I will absolutely not let the two of them out of my sight!

Two cars and a truck, with fully armed soldiers standing behind them, hurriedly drove out of the gate.

Lin Wan sat in the back of the second car, sensing the tense atmosphere, her pretty face full of complex emotions.

Chen Huai'an noticed something was wrong and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After spending several months together, the two had a clear understanding of each other's personalities.

Don't underestimate her just because she's only 23 years old; in 2025, that age would only be considered a recent college graduate.

However, during the Republic of China era, she had already carried out many dangerous missions.

Having survived life-or-death crises time and time again, they have long since disregarded life and death.

When carrying out a mission, it is impossible to act abnormally out of fear.

It's rather strange that he's clenching his fists now.

He asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Lin Wan shook her head and said with a wry smile, "In the past, it was always the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics that made a big show of arresting us. Now that the roles have been reversed, there's a strange feeling that I can't quite put my finger on..."

Chen Huai'an nodded, relieved to know she was alright.

As for that feeling, I can't understand it yet.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tian Guorong's voice came from the front passenger seat.

"I now believe that Comrade Lin Wan was once a member of the covert front."

Now we stand in the sunlight, free to act without restraint.

The change in identity and style of behavior is what has made it difficult for you to adjust in the short term.

"You'll get used to it after doing a few missions."

As someone who also works on the covert front, I understand that feeling best.

When I was undercover, I was very careful and afraid of giving myself away.

For safety reasons, I have no other comrades besides those online, and I always act alone.

It feels strange that such a large-scale event has suddenly been staged.

After a while, you'll get used to it.

The car slowly pulled up at the intersection, and a weasel-faced bald man emerged from behind a public phone booth.

Lin Wan was very alert and immediately noticed the bald man who had suddenly appeared: "It's him?!"

Chen Huai'an also noticed the bald man and asked politely, "Do you know him?"

Lin Wan shook her head and explained, "Two months ago, when we were buying wild boars, he and his henchmen were collecting protection money, but they were scared off by two of Director Lu's subordinates. He's very smart and has a good eye for things!"

Besides his impressive bald head, his ability to give praise is also remarkable, as is his keen observation of the wind direction.

At least they are not like other gang members who act recklessly because of their gang background.

Such people, once they run into a brick wall, often don't even know how they died!

Tian Guorong laughed and said, "I took this kid in as my underling because I thought he was smart. He was the one who tipped me off just now."

Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "Did you used to be involved in the underworld, section chief?"

"Seven years ago, I was transferred from Beiping to Shanghai, and it was the bureau chief who arranged for me to join an advanced gang."

In fact, at that time, most people had gang backgrounds.

Every one of our police chiefs has a gang background.

To facilitate the collection of protection money, the police station also recruited some people from gangs.

It was around that time that I was recommended to join the police station.

Back then, everyone, whether they were in the legitimate or underworld, called me Brother Rong!

His voice was full of arrogance, and there seemed to be a hint of roguishness in it.

This is a consequence of being too immersed in the role during his years of undercover work.

If you want to act like a thug, you have to become a thug first!

Lin Wan laughed and said, "Even Principal Jiang joined a gang back in the day, what's so strange about that?"

Chen Huai'an nodded, a look of realization crossing his face.

Just as the three were talking, the bald man came to the car window.

He whispered, "Brother Rong, that spy named Jin Qianzi is at number 58 in the alley!"
