Chapter 51 Wang Hai's Mission, Commander?
Buzz~.
As the air vibrated, a beautiful figure appeared out of thin air in the dimly lit living room.
Looking at the familiar "retro" items around me, I knew that I had successfully returned to my apartment in 38.
Lin Wan scanned the surroundings warily, making sure no one was around.
They carefully checked the doors and windows again, and only felt relieved after confirming that the hidden marks had not been disturbed.
I gently pushed open the window and placed the orchids from the table on the windowsill shelf.
The orchids symbolize her return.
Similarly, putting away the orchid before time travel signifies that she has already gone to the future world.
Lin Wan stood by the window, tending to her orchids, her eyes glancing at the street below.
With her professionally trained abilities, she could keenly detect changes in the vicinity of the apartment she frequented multiple times a day.
Even if you can't be sure, you'll have a strange intuition.
A quick glance around revealed nothing different from before, and the vendors remained unchanged.
wrong!
"Cigarette~ Cigarette~".
Lin Wan heard the familiar hawking voice and her gaze fell on a street vendor downstairs who had a cigarette rack hanging on his shoulder and was walking back and forth selling cigarettes.
It turned out to be Wang Hai, one of the three members of the transportation station team!
The last time I saw him was six days ago at the place where he was hiding.
At that time, Wang Hai's gunshot wound to the arm was infected, and he had developed a high fever.
If the inflammation and fever cannot be reduced, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.
Fortunately, she brought back penicillin from the world of 2025 and administered the injection in time.
That was 40 units of penicillin, which was practically a life-saving drug for people in the Republic of China era who had no drug resistance.
The fever subsided the next morning after just one injection.
Once the inflammation subsided, and being in good physical condition at twenty-six or twenty-seven, he quickly regained his vitality.
As long as I don't do physical labor, my right arm can perform its tasks normally.
Of course, they can give their all in a real crisis, but there is a risk of their wounds reopening.
So after resting for two days, he accepted a new task.
Disguised as a cigarette vendor, he loitered around Lin Wan's apartment building every day.
If there is a task from a superior, they can be contacted and notified immediately.
If any spies behaving strangely in the vicinity, they can be detected in time.
Therefore, Wang Hai is currently responsible for liaison and security.
However, since it was enemy-occupied territory, he did not carry any guns to avoid accidentally revealing his identity.
However, with his martial arts skills honed from learning from a master, carrying a fruit knife was enough for him to launch a surprise attack and eliminate any potential dangers.
This is also the source of his confidence to act as bait and stay behind alone to attract the attention of the spies.
Despite being shot in the arm, he killed five agents and escaped from a pursuit by dozens of people.
Although she was there to assist and coordinate, it has already proven her exceptional skills.
Wang Hai seemed to notice something, and looked up at the open window upstairs and the orchids on display.
He glanced at it once and immediately looked away.
She acted casually, showing no signs of anything amiss, and even stopped a middle-aged man wearing a shirt with a briefcase tucked under his arm to sell him cigarettes.
Lin Wan narrowed her eyes and slowly retreated back into the room.
I went back to my bedroom, picked up my camera, hung it around my neck, carefully stepped over the hidden mark, opened the door, and left.
The camera was her best cover.
Not to mention that cameras were a rarity during the Republic of China era, even ordinary wealthy families didn't own them.
Even in the 1980s and 90s, it was definitely a luxury item.
If a family wants to go to the park for a weekend outing and take photos, those with connections will ask a wealthy friend to take photos, or they will pay someone to take them.
Those who specialize in taking photos for others only need to put up a sign, and they can make a lot of money on weekends.
Even today, when everyone has a mobile phone to take selfies, you can still see vendors offering to take professional photos for people at famous historical sites and tourist attractions.
Lin Wan had a camera hanging around her neck, and to onlookers, she must have been either a reporter or a wealthy person.
With the cover of a camera, even if stopped by the police on the street in the middle of the night, one can claim to be taking photos for news material.
So when I was unlucky enough to be stopped by two former policemen a few nights ago, they only wanted to take the opportunity to extort money from me. I didn't even think about the underground party.
It is precisely because these people, who have transitioned from the lowest rungs of society, know that there is no hope of promotion, that they focus all their attention on making money.
Those with some official positions were actually quite polite to these reporters.
If, after making a meritorious contribution, a journalist skilled in writing helps to publicize it, it is also an opportunity to curry favor with superiors and gain promotion.
Given Manager Lu's power and influence in the Shanghai Police Department, his willingness to befriend her was largely due to his status as a journalist.
As soon as she stepped out of the apartment, she was spotted by Wang Hai, who had been watching her closely.
He walked back and forth on the street, his eyes scanning over everyone who passed by.
Whenever they see someone who might be smoking, they'll approach them with a fawning smile and ask if they want to buy cigarettes.
Even when people impatiently shoo them away like flies, they still maintain a smile.
He would even bow apologetically, accompanied by a fawning smile, making him look like a lowly cigarette vendor.
After recovering from his injury, Wang Hai was assigned to become a cigarette vendor.
It's not about pretending; it's about doing nothing and simply blending into the identity of a cigarette vendor.
Only in this way can the most perfect disguise be achieved.
Their sole mission is to provide protection and act as a liaison.
"Cigarettes~ Cigarettes~!"
Wang Hai, with cigarettes slung over his shoulder, tilted his head back and waved back and forth, shouting as he did so.
Just as they were passing each other, he whispered, "Old Zhang is waiting for you at the department store."
"Hmm." Lin Wan responded with a snort, then calmly walked to the street corner and flagged down a rickshaw.
The two never looked at each other once, and walked in opposite directions, appearing to onlookers as if they were simply passing each other by.
Wang Hai continued shouting and swaying back and forth, but his eyes were constantly observing the surrounding situation.
After ten minutes, confirming that no one was following him, he slowly walked into an alley and quickly disappeared into the night.
After getting out of the car, Lin Wan went straight into the department store and began to browse through the dazzling array of items.
With the stockings sold out, the transportation station had sufficient funds.
The shop not only paid the rent but also had money to buy a batch of goods, and business was quite good.
However, it's already dark, so there aren't many customers in the store.
Ten minutes later, Wang Hai also returned.
"Safety!"
After reporting in a low voice, they began to help close the store.
About ten minutes later, Lin Wan and Lao Zhang came out from the back door.
Using the winding alleyways as cover, they made their way to a warehouse in the triangular area after several attempts to counter-track them.
Old Zhang walked up and knocked hard on the iron gate.
Soon, a man in his forties, dressed in an expensive shirt, with slicked-back hair and a businessman's appearance, opened the door.
At the same time, he glanced deeply at Lin Wan beside him.
The man nodded and said, "The commander is waiting for you!"
