Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

After all, the work they do is of a special and dangerous nature, and any negligence may lead to mission failure or even endanger their lives.

So, when Xu Damao learned that the two actually knew each other, he couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart.

"Little brother, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Zhang Yungui raised his head, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and stared at Xu Damao closely, as if he wanted to see through his eyes and see through the thoughts hidden deep in his heart.

Facing Zhang Yungui's sharp gaze, Xu Damao's heart tightened, but he soon showed a slightly embarrassed smile and said with a laugh: "Hehehe, Uncle Zhang, don't get me wrong! I am purely curious, and I especially want to hear stories about how heroes like you bravely killed the enemy and eradicated traitors. That is really admirable!"

Xu Damao laughed it off and flattered himself, trying to change the subject.

However, Zhang Yungui is not someone who can be easily fooled.

Although he was just an ordinary thug in the action team, he had been fighting in enemy-occupied areas for many years and had experienced countless life-and-death tests. His mind was far more delicate and sharp than that of ordinary soldiers.

He immediately noticed the unnaturalness in Xu Damao's words, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, little brother, you must be hiding something from me. You are the savior of my father and daughter. If it is inconvenient to say it, I will not force it. I will still say what I should say."

Hearing this, Xu Damao secretly groaned. He knew he couldn't hide it any longer.

So he sighed lightly, smiled bitterly and confessed to Zhang Yungui: "Alas... To be honest, Uncle Zhang, Yi Zhonghai and I live in the same compound, and he is the manager of the compound. This person likes to put on a high and mighty attitude on weekdays, and always likes to stand on the so-called 'moral high ground' to accuse others..."

Having said that, Xu Damao couldn't help but curl his lips again, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Yi Zhonghai, this guy is simply a born actor. If the Oscars were to give him an award, I'm afraid they would have to give him a lot of golden awards!

"Oh, I see. The hiding skills of the hidden agents are really superb. It is very common for them to say one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. After all, if they accidentally reveal even the slightest clue, they will be doomed to an abyss from which there is no return."

Recalling the scene of meeting Yi Zhonghai, it seems to be still vivid in my mind. It was a thrilling ambush operation, and the target was the expert of the secret telegram group among the Japanese in the Beijing Special High Section.

"However, who could have expected that the enemy's vehicles were equipped with extremely strong bulletproof glass? Although the four members of our action team launched the attack bravely and fearlessly, we ultimately failed. Instead, three of our brave companions were killed in an instant by the Japanese military police."

"Because there happened to be a narrow alley next to me, just when I was about to dive into it to try to survive, Yi Zhonghai suddenly rushed out from behind the box with a grenade in his hand like a god descending from the sky."

"He pulled the safety pin without hesitation and threw the deadly grenade at the damn bulletproof car."

"Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the entire car was blown to pieces, turning into a pile of twisted and deformed scrap metal. Then Yi Zhonghai quickly grabbed my hand and took me away from the scene desperately."

"Perhaps because they were shocked by the horrific explosion, or perhaps because they were afraid of another possible grenade attack, those originally vicious military policemen now lay on the ground like frightened rabbits and could not get up for a long time."

"It was because of this that we both managed to escape the clutches of death and save our lives. This experience still scares me, but at the same time I am filled with endless gratitude towards Yi Zhonghai."

Thinking back to what happened back then, Zhang Yungui couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

"If Yi Zhonghai hadn't stepped forward with a grenade and risked his life to save me, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

"Faced with the vicious and relentless pursuit of the Japanese military police, it is absolutely impossible to escape from their clutches by one person alone."

"Since then, we have known each other. Being in such a tense and dangerous environment, and assassinating the Japanese secret code expert, we both had to remain silent."

"But that didn't stop us from getting to know each other. He was a worker at a steel mill, and I was a rickshaw driver."

"As the days go by, we have more and more interactions."

"After that, we participated in several anti-espionage operations together. Before each operation, Yi Zhonghai carefully drew up a detailed and thorough plan. I have to say that his scheming is far more profound and delicate than that of a rash person like me."

"However, things are always full of twists and turns. What followed was a large-scale raid by the Japanese and the No. 76 traitors."

"What's worse is that there are many spies inside the mountain city, and even our superior was unfortunately arrested."

"At that moment, we were terrified and at a loss. We had lost contact with the organization and were afraid that our superiors would betray us."

"Until now, I have to be very cautious in my daily life, just like walking on thin ice. If I am not careful, I may be doomed."

"Later, I finally let go of everything. I have a well-behaved and lovely daughter, and I hope she can grow up safely and healthily. I am content."

"However, what is unexpected is that deep down, Yi Zhonghai is always afraid of having a child and doesn't even dare to have the thought of having a child."

"The reason is nothing else but that if his true identity is accidentally exposed, not only will his personal safety be in danger, but it may also trigger a devastating disaster that will affect his entire family, or even the entire clan..."

"Hearing this, Xu Damao couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in astonishment, "Uncle Zhang, did you just say that Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to have children?"

Zhang Yungui nodded solemnly, affirming: "That's right. People like us who are engaged in special work cannot enjoy the rights and interests stipulated in the Geneva Convention. Once we unfortunately fall into the hands of the enemy, even if we are secretly executed in the end, it is probably a relatively good ending..."

Then, he sighed deeply and continued, "Little brother, you may not understand the extremely cruel torture methods used by the Military Control Commission and the Japanese devils. Even a man as strong as steel would find it difficult to endure such inhumane torture."
