When they heard this, they both focused.

Zhao Ming continued:

"I just came back from Director Li, who gave our Second Division a task.

At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, several leaders of the Red Party's grassroots organization, the Student Union, are preparing to hold a meeting at the Hongyun Teahouse on Fuzhou Road. Director Li has ordered us to make the arrests at that time.

Although this doesn't seem like a very complicated operation, it is our first operation after arriving at No. 76.

We can only succeed, we cannot fail, otherwise we will all lose face, so I am going to personally lead people to carry out the arrest, and I have called you here to have a good discussion, listen to your opinions, and strive to make sure that nothing goes wrong."

When Yang Yiming heard this, he had an idea. This was a good opportunity. The organization had been trying to get rid of Zhao Ming and was looking for an opportunity. Hua She asked him to keep an eye on Zhao Ming and pay attention to his whereabouts.

But Zhao Ming also realized it and became extremely cautious. He stayed at home and rarely went out, not giving anyone any chance.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity finally came. This news must be conveyed to Huashe as soon as possible so that the organization can prepare as soon as possible.

Moreover, he could strive to participate in the capture of Zhao Ming. When the organization ambushed Zhao Ming, he might be able to kill Zhao Ming in the chaos, and then the success rate of the anti-traitor operation would be very high.

But will Zhao Ming agree to let me participate?

He is not sure how much Zhao Ming trusts him now, but he has to give it a try anyway.

Yang Yiming thought about this and said:

"Director, you are personally participating in the operation, which shows how much you value this operation. I am willing to go with you. I have experienced such operations many times. You can rest assured with me here."

Zhao Ming thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"Yiming, I am very happy that you volunteered. I feel relieved when you are here.

But considering that your injuries have not yet healed, you will not participate in this operation. You should take good care of your injuries. Once you are well, will you still worry about not having any missions?

I will take Zhiping with me for this operation. Zhiping is also an old hand, so why are you worried? "

Yang Yiming wanted to argue for it, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Zhao Ming interrupted him and said:

"It's settled. Don't say anything more. I've made up my mind. Let's hurry up and discuss a specific action plan."

Yang Yiming had no choice but to stop talking. If he continued to fight for it, he was afraid that it would arouse Zhao Ming's suspicion.

Ren Zhiping was secretly groaning in his heart. When he heard that Yang Yiming took the initiative to go, he felt very happy.

If Yang Yiming goes, then he doesn't have to go. He is now very cautious and tries not to show up in public. It is better to have less trouble than more.

From the moment he defected, he knew that the Military Control Commission would not let him or his family go. After all, the entire Nanjing Station could be said to have been destroyed in his hands.

The first thing he did was to move his parents out of their original residence and rent an apartment far away for them to live in.

I also told my parents not to go out unless necessary, and if they had to go out, they should just stay around nearby.

He was even more cautious and stayed at home most of the time. When he went out occasionally, he was very careful and came back quickly.

For an outing like this arrest operation, he certainly hoped not to participate.

He feels that his current life is very painful. He has no freedom. What is the difference between him and a prisoner? It is simply worse than death.

He could have died heroically, he could have done it, he did not yield under severe torture, but in the end he could not get over the test of family ties. He was a filial son, he could not watch his parents die in front of him.

He had to become a shameful traitor. He regretted it, but what was the use?

Even if he turned against the enemy, the Military Control Commission probably wouldn't believe it and wouldn't let him go.

To take a step back, even if the Military Control Commission let him go, would the Japanese and Li Qunshi let his parents go?

He particularly regretted going home to visit his parents the night before evacuating Nanjing. If he had not gone back, nothing would have happened.

At that time, his action team was responsible for digging a tunnel leading to Chen Lu's residence. After several days of work, the tunnel was about to be dug under Chen Lu's residence.

He received an order from Zhao Ming to lead his action team to evacuate Nanjing to the Loyal and Patriotic Army in southern Jiangsu the next day, and the subsequent work would be taken over by the explosives team.

It would have been better if the order had not been given from above. He also knew that Zhao Ming could not be blamed. After all, if the bombing was successful, it would be a major event that would shake Nanjing. The Japanese would not give up and would definitely search the entire city for him. It was normal for him to go out and hide from the spotlight at this time.

But I didn’t know when I would be able to come back, so I thought about going back home to see my parents and leave some money before evacuating.

I did violate organizational discipline, and nothing had happened before. But this time, something happened.

He betrayed the company when he had no other choice. Although he confessed the bombing, he did not know where Zhao Ming lived. Zhao Ming always came to him when there was something going on. He thought at the time that his betrayal would at best cause the bombing to fail and would not cause any damage to Nanjing Station.

The most that would happen is that his own action team would be lost, and the explosion would fail. Zhao Ming would not rashly contact him before he had figured out the situation.

But unexpectedly, the Japanese and No. 76 caught Zhao Ming in the rented villa where they dug a tunnel. Zhao Ming was a coward and immediately betrayed without being tortured.

This is why Ren Zhiping particularly hated Zhao Ming. If Zhao Ming had not betrayed him, Nanjing Station would not have suffered such heavy losses, with more than 30 people killed and more than 100 captured, which invisibly magnified his own guilt.

All this is irreversible. After all, I am the instigator and I cannot excuse myself.

Although he was in agony, he had to accept the reality. He didn't have too many thoughts now. He just had to save his life first. What else could he do? He was already helpless.

When he heard that Zhao Ming would not let Yang Yiming go, but would take him out to carry out the mission, he was naturally disappointed.

In fact, he was a little confused about why Yang Yiming took the initiative to carry out the mission. As traitors, shouldn't people like them keep a low profile as much as possible?

At the beginning, he had a good impression of Yang Yiming. So many people at the Nanjing Station defected, but Yang Yiming remained steadfast after being captured. He respected Yang Yiming as a man and even saw himself in him. He hoped that he could persevere and not be like himself.

Unfortunately, he couldn't hold on in the end. For some unknown reason, he finally betrayed the party.

He felt a deep sense of loss, and his respect for Yang Yiming was immediately wiped out. He began to despise him in his heart.

He also knew that he was in a position of being the laughing stock of others and had no right to look down on others.

Think about yourself. No matter what the reason was, that passionate young man who was devoted to serving the country has now become a despicable traitor and collaborator.
