"Brother, call me Lao Zhang, codename Ban Jiu. When are you coming to work?"
"What? Work? At your place?"
"Of course! How else would you cover your identity?"
"Uh, maybe not. With my physique, working here? Do I look like a helper to you?"
"That's true. You look more like a boss than I do. How about you take the boss role and I’ll be the chef?"
"Forget it, I'll find another identity!"
"That has to be approved by Station Master."
"Where's Station Master? I want to have a chat with him!"
"I can't contact Station Master unless there's an emergency. But come by tomorrow night; Station Master will be here for dinner, and everyone can meet then."
"Alright, I'm leaving! I'll come by tomorrow night."
With that, Ze Anzhi turned and walked away. In this environment, his mild obsession with cleanliness was really getting to him.
The next evening, Ze Anzhi arrived punctually at Peace Hotel. The few tables in the restaurant were empty except for one in the corner where someone was seated.
A middle-aged man in a black police uniform, wearing his hat askew, had one foot propped up on a stool. In front of him was a pile of flowers and beside him sat a wine jug. He was peeling petals and tossing them into his mouth, looking extremely disheveled.
Ze Anzhi’s distinctive outfit caught the attention of the man in uniform, who straightened up and adjusted his hat, feeling as if he were in the presence of someone important. However, after glancing at the chef and seeing him nod, he relaxed; this was indeed one of their own.
Ze Anzhi took off his hat and sat down on a stool that had been wiped down several times by the chef. "You must be Station Master Wu Yong, codename Sparrow?"
"And you are?"
"Li Ping'an, codename Wild Boar."
"Oh wow, it's really you! Mao Zhu Ren sent me a Telegram saying a training class's Gao Cai has arrived and he's an action expert. I've been waiting for you! We have so many assassination missions that no one else can handle! It’s been tough with Boss Dai breathing down our necks every day!"
"What missions?"
"Assassinate Pseudomayor Gao Yuanfeng and a whole list of Collaborations—all on the assassination list."
How could a mayor possibly not be killed?
Hey, do you think we haven't tried? This guy is too scared to die. He stays right across from the Gendarmerie Headquarters on Hallwart Street, and he has their protection whenever he comes and goes. All our assassination attempts have failed, and we've lost more than ten brothers in the process.
Is there a time limit?
No, but Boss Dai wants it done as soon as possible.
Alright, where do we meet next?
Right here. There's a secret room in the basement of the restaurant. It's very safe. Lao Zhang has been running this place for ten years, so no one suspects him. You can come in without worry.
What if there's an emergency? How do we contact each other?
There's a teahouse across from the Jingwei Police Station. If they have new tea hanging out, it means I want to see you. If they have old tea at a discount, it means we need to stay quiet. If there's a sign with red letters saying "Fuzhu Tea" with new stock, then we must evacuate immediately.
What if the teahouse owner betrays us or if something urgent happens? Do we have a backup plan?
You can start a fight at the entrance of the Jingwei Police Station and get yourself taken into the detention room there. Everyone inside is one of us, so you won't have to worry about food or drink! But you don't need to worry about the teahouse owner betraying us because he has a blood feud with the Japanese; his whole family was killed by them.
