A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

Xu Pingan turned his head as calmly as possible, glancing at Shen Weijun's expression as he did so.

His face showed obvious irritation and dissatisfaction.

"Hey, how did we manage to find our way here?"

Shen Weijun's tone was tinged with helplessness as he waved his hand, gesturing to the fishing rod in his hand, signaling the other person to come over.

Xu Pingan glanced at the other anglers around him out of the corner of his eye; they had all come back to their senses and were looking at their own fish.

He simply turned his head away, following the crowd, and stopped paying attention.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shen Weijun, wondering if his posture was just for show or if he genuinely didn't know who the figure was.

However, Xu Pingan was unwilling to gamble on whether Shen Weijun was a good person or not.

Ultimately, the two were just fishing buddies who met at the Ishikatsu Beach.

They don't have any other connections, and they're not old friends at all!

He turned his head very naturally, his eyes fixed on the buoy floating on the water.

Xu Pingan did not rush to ask about the other party's identity.

Doing this is too abrupt...

Having read many introductions to the future, I've seen that those who work as spies and enemy agents in this era are extremely polarized.

Some highly capable individuals can often detect that they have been exposed through a subtle movement.

If the other party escapes the moment they realize they've been exposed, that would be fine. But if they want to eliminate him as a threat, Xu Ping'an will be putting himself in danger.

He's just that his attributes are much stronger than those of an ordinary person.

Invincibility stems entirely from overwhelming strength and physique, unlike spies and enemy agents who have received professional training.

Xu Ping'an kept a straight face while watching the buoy, but his ears were listening intently to the movements of Shen Weijun and the others.

What are the typical poses of people in the Air Force when they're fishing? Xu Ping'an has seen it all.

He doesn't need to imitate deliberately; he can naturally portray the image of someone who is hopelessly addicted to fishing!

"Director Du, is there anything I can help you with?"

The middle-aged man, addressed as Director Du, pushed up his glasses, a hearty smile on his face.

"Professor Shen, I'm so sorry to have come all this way to see you. The school has given me a last-minute assignment; I need to write a speech, and it's due tomorrow morning. What do you think?"

Shen Weijun felt quite helpless.

What business is it of his?

He had only helped Director Du with a small favor when he came, but he never expected to be entangled with him by the other party.

"Director Du, these things are all very simple; you could easily write them yourself!"

Director Du's smile remained unchanged, but he was cursing inwardly.

If I could write, would I need to contact you?

He went undercover as the newly transferred head of the Chinese Department at the university, but unexpectedly, one of their strongholds was wiped out by the military control commission a few days ago.

Fortunately, Lao Zhou was quick-witted and managed to escape with his men, avoiding capture.

The problem is that the assistants assigned to him by his superiors have all gone off with Lao Zhou.

Now, they've vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead!

Although Du Ping isn't good at writing articles or speeches, he's good at being a leader!

In the past, he would simply delegate these tasks, which he wasn't good at, to his subordinates.

He used to be a member of the skinheads, knowing nothing, yet he still held a high position in the underground organization in Beiping during the Japanese occupation.

Once you see through the true nature of how this world works, you'll realize that it's just a giant makeshift operation.

Don't be fooled by the strict regulations now; in reality, as long as you're bold enough and have a good attitude, even a radish scrap can take you anywhere!

A high-ranking military officer's uniform is all it takes to impersonate a military bigwig in a remote province or city.

So although Du Ping encountered a setback, he didn't think it was a big deal!

He even thought it was better that Lao Zhou and the others had run away.

They ran away, so all the future funding will be his alone.

He's incredibly good at using money to pave the way...

Anyway, he had done this kind of isolation before. Old Zhou only knew that he was a teacher, but didn't know where he was a teacher from.

Du Ping was also recently transferred to Fu Jen Catholic University.

The other party has a family and children, and is quite capable. He has unique insights into drafting documents, writing speeches, and even his research on Chinese.

If we can win Shen Weijun over to our side, all the minor troubles Du Ping is currently facing can be resolved.

"Hey, can you do me a favor? I'd like to treat you to Quanjude tonight..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Weijun was somewhat tempted!

In this era of extreme scarcity, even the landlords had no surplus grain...

Xu Pingan listened intently for a long time, but didn't hear a single useful piece of information.

Of course, this is perfectly normal!

After all, if Director Du dared to openly discuss confidential matters on the street, he would have been arrested long ago. Why would Xu Ping'an be the one observing him?

However, he is not sure whether Shen Weijun is good or bad.

As for how to distinguish between good and bad?

Of course, one's perspective is determined by their own position.

Xu Ping'an's allegiance has now been decided; those who are loyal to our Party are all good people...

While Xu Pingan was looking around, he openly glanced at Director Du twice.

He must have remembered the other person's appearance very clearly.

"Brother Ping An, are you selling those four fish in the bucket?"

Shen Weijun sounded a little embarrassed.

"Something came up at school, so I probably won't be able to go fishing this afternoon."

"Sell!"

……

After Shen Weijun and the other man left, Xu Pingan sat absentmindedly by the sea for another 20 minutes!

During this time, Xu Ping'an didn't even realize the fish had escaped.

After much thought, Xu Pingan decided to go back to Wuyi Lane to see what the current situation was.

Xu Pingan had previously sent the message to the Military Control Commission and then left.

I haven't asked a single question in the past two months, but now it's definitely time to go and take a look.

We can go to Wuyi Lane later, but we still need to find a way to expose Director Du's true colors.

After all, no matter what, he's disrupting Xu Ping'an's peaceful life!

Although this world lacks entertainment, mobile phones, computers, and the internet, it also has many advantages that we didn't have in our previous life.

For example, finding a job that you can truly work with peace of mind for the rest of your life.

Even without any special advantages, Xu Ping'an, with his current job as a chef at the steel mill, could easily have married a wife and had several children...

There's absolutely no need to worry about them not surviving or not being able to keep them alive.

Here, there's no need to compare yourself to your colleagues or friends.

There's no need to worry about things like mortgages, car loans, or personal loans.

Although life was relatively poor, I inexplicably felt at peace.

There was absolutely no sense of helplessness like I felt in my past life, not knowing whether tomorrow or a breakdown would come first.

As Lu Xun once said, "Home is where my heart is."

This hometown must not be destroyed by these enemy agents!

If he hadn't known, that would have been one thing, but now that he knows this person has a problem, Xu Ping'an still has to think of a way to deal with it.

"Oh dear, Ping An, it seems your fish has escaped again!"

Old Master Zhao Xiaoyang, who had just arrived, slapped his thigh in disbelief.

When he fishes by himself, fish rarely bite.

So sometimes when I really can't catch any fish, I like to come to Xu Ping'an's place to mooch some fish.

Unexpectedly, instead of enjoying the thrill of fishing, I ended up feeling incredibly frustrated.
