Chapter 188 Ruan Zhao agrees to carry out the mission
~
Seeing Ruan Zhao remain silent, Commander Wu assumed she didn't want to agree, and a hint of disappointment lingered in his tone. "This mission is indeed fraught with danger. If you have concerns, I understand."
Ruan Zhao came back to his senses, looked at Commander Wu and said, "I can go, but there is something I need to tell you in advance.
You just said that this matter concerns the political relations with other countries, so I cannot reveal anything before finding Qin Zongwu and having concrete evidence.
If the other party doesn't have a mystic master, I still have some advantages. But if they also have a mystic master, as soon as I make a move, they might notice it, and then my special abilities will be useless."
Commander Wu grasped the key point in her words, "Comrade Ruan Zhao, do you know something? Could it be that the other side also has someone like you?"
Ruan Zhao thought for a moment and then briefly explained the Song family's situation to Commander Wu. "...I can't be sure that it was done by foreigners, but this kind of evil magic does originate from abroad."
After a pause, Ruan Zhao added, "Of course, it could just be a coincidence, but I hope you can be mentally prepared in advance.
If I can't use mystical arts, it might take some time to find Qin Zongwu."
Commander Wu fell into deep thought. After a long moment, he suddenly turned to look at Ruan Zhao. "Comrade Ruan Zhao, where is the abandoned factory you mentioned?"
Ruan Zhao guessed what he was going to do and replied directly, "It's ten kilometers west of a place called Nantang Town in the south of the city."
"Nantang Town?" Commander Wu was surprised for a moment, then something occurred to him and his expression relaxed. "Then you don't have to worry about it. This matter should have nothing to do with this mission."
Ruan Zhao was a little confused as to why he was so sure?
Commander Wu saw her thoughts and explained. "You may not know this, but before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nantang Town was an underground liaison point for our Party. It was the most prosperous of the many liaison points, and it was also a rare place that survived the war.
The buildings inside are still left over from that time. In order to protect these buildings, the government specially designated it as a key protected town.
Therefore, Nantang Town is very conspicuous and has strict security. If those foreigners want to do something bad, they probably won't choose Nantang Town or its vicinity."
Ruan Zhao lowered her head thoughtfully. She didn't know this.
The main reason is that this Nantang Town is fictionalized by the author and is not written in the book.
But Ruan Zhao was still a little hesitant about Commander Wu's affirmation. After all, sometimes many people would take advantage of loopholes in the dark.
However, Commander Wu had already said this. If Ruan Zhao continued, it would seem that she was unwilling to go, so Ruan Zhao did not say anything more. "Okay, then you can prepare an ID for me, preferably one that matches my appearance.
Also, my job at the hospital..."
Commander Wu understood her meaning and nodded. "Don't worry, we'll take care of everything else. I'll have someone come find you when we're ready."
"Yeah." Ruan Zhao nodded and stood up.
Commander Wu solemnly reminded, "Comrade Ruan Zhao, this mission is very important. Remember not to reveal your identity until it is completed.
Also, make sure you keep yourself safe.”
Ruan Zhao nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

When I came out of Commander Wu's house, it was almost time to get off work.
Ruan Zhao did not return to the hospital, but went directly to Wang Shufang's house.
If she left, someone would have to take care of Qin Ze and Qin Mu.
Hu Xiu's family has too many children, and it's okay to take care of them for one or two days, but Ruan Zhao is afraid that she won't be able to take care of them for too long, so Ruan Zhao decides to ask Wang Shufang for help.
Wang Shufang's children are all grown up and don't need her to take care of them. Besides, their two families live close to each other, so it is convenient to take care of them.
"sister in law."
Wang Shufang was a little surprised to see Ruan Zhao coming over. "Why are you here at this time? Aren't you going to work today?"
Ruan Zhao explained, "I had something to do this afternoon so I didn't go. Sister-in-law, I came to see you because I have something I want to ask you for help."
Wang Shufang saw Ruan Zhao's serious face and thought it was something important. "What is it? As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Ruan Zhao didn't hesitate and said directly, "It's like this. The army needs my help on a mission that might take a long time, so I'd like you to take care of Qin Ze and Qin Mu for me."
When Wang Shufang heard about the mission, she instinctively asked, "Why would the army want you to carry out the mission? You're not a soldier?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, and then she leaned closer to Ruan Zhao and asked in a low voice, "Is that true?"
Of course Ruan Zhao couldn't tell her, "Sister-in-law, this is a military secret, I can't tell you.
Also, you can’t tell anyone else about me helping the army carry out their mission.”
Wang Shufang quickly covered her mouth when she heard that, then glanced around and finally felt relieved when she realized she was in her own home. "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I understand."
Ruan Zhao was still very confident in Wang Shufang's character, otherwise he would not have told her directly.
Ruan Zhao pulled a key and a roll of money from his pocket and handed them to Wang Shufang. "Sister-in-law, this is the key to my house, and some living expenses for Qin Ze and Qin Mu. Just cook them some food and let them go home to sleep at night."
Wang Shufang got a little anxious when she saw this. "Just give me the key. Take this money back and buy the children a meal. I can still afford it."
Ruan Zhao knew Wang Shufang's personality, so he could only talk about it from another perspective. "Sister-in-law, this isn't the children's food money, it's their living expenses. If they need to pay tuition or buy any daily necessities, please help me give them the money."
"You don't have to give it to me now. I have money here. If the children need money, I'll give it to them first. You can give it to me when you come back."
"Sister-in-law, I'm just worried that the children won't feel at ease. My two children have been used to living a hard life with me since they were young, and they don't want to trouble others for anything. If you don't take this money, they will definitely be embarrassed to ask you for it."
When Wang Shufang heard her say this, she hesitated for a moment before taking it. "Okay! I'll take the money. Tell the kids later that I've received the money, and tell them not to be polite with me and to just tell me what they want."
Ruan Zhao smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll tell them."

After resolving the issues with Qin Ze and Qin Mu, Ruan Zhao went to the army to find Lu Yan.
In the past few months, Lu Yan would go to the hospital and meet Ruan Zhao every few days. No matter how stupid Ruan Zhao was, he could see through his intentions.
In fact, Lu Yan knew that he couldn't let her go, so he simply ignored everything else and just wanted to see her often, which would make him feel satisfied.
So on the surface, the two of them have been maintaining a revolutionary friendship.
In the army, when Lu Yan received a call saying that Ruan Zhao came to see him, he was surprised and happy.
Outside the gate, Ruan Zhao saw Lu Yan coming out and walked straight towards him.
As the contact person for this mission, Lu Yan was already an insider, so Ruan Zhao did not hide it from him.
Lu Yan wasn't surprised after hearing what Ruan Zhao said, but rather a little worried. "Then you must be careful!"
He knew the importance of this mission, so he was really worried about Ruan Zhao.
"Don't worry, I'm capable of protecting myself." Ruan Zhao smiled, then remembered something and took out a needle from his storage ring. "I have something to give you, but first I need a drop of your blood."
"Okay." Lu Yan didn't know what she wanted to do, but he still raised his hand cooperatively.
Ruan Zhao didn't hesitate. He grabbed Lu Yan's finger and pricked it, then took out a yellow talisman and dripped his blood on it.
After putting the needle away, Ruan Zhao used his spiritual power to draw a talisman on it, and finally folded it into a triangle shape and put it into the storage ring.
After putting it away, she took out a yellow talisman, pricked her finger, dripped her blood on it, then drew a sound transmission talisman, folded it into a triangle and handed it to Lu Yan.
"This is a sound transmission talisman. If there are any special circumstances later in the mission, I will use this to transmit sound to you. Remember to keep it with you at all times and don't lose it."
Ruan Zhao was worried that once he went undercover, he would not have the opportunity to pass on the message to the contact.
Lu Yan is responsible for the response, and it is safest to contact him using a sound transmission note.
Lu Yan quickly took it and said, "Okay, I'll keep it safe."
Ruan Zhao nodded and didn't stay any longer. "Then I'll be leaving first."
"Wait." Lu Yan suddenly spoke.
Ruan Zhao paused and looked at him suspiciously. "Anything else?"
Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to speak. "After the mission is over, the army will give us a long vacation. I'd like to invite you to visit me in Beijing. Is that okay?"
These days, he has figured it out. Regardless of whether what happened that day was a misunderstanding or not, he is certain of one thing: although Ruan Zhao does not like him, he definitely does not like Qin Zongwu either.
And since he can't let her go, why bother about so many things? He just needs to find a way to make her his.
Ruan Zhao understood what Lu Yan meant and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
After Lu Yan said this, he felt extremely happy and no longer nervous. "You can answer me when you come back."
Lu Yan didn't know why, but he always felt that something might happen during this mission. He was afraid that if he didn't say it in advance, he would never have the chance to say it again.
Ruan Zhao didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at his serious expression and finally nodded lightly. "Okay."
