“Ting Nan, this is why I came to find you. Your sister-in-law can’t lure out the enemy by hiding in the Security Bureau. If she shows herself, she will be accompanied by Security Bureau personnel and will be easily exposed.”
Song Tingnan nodded, "Yes, I understand. They have a unique temperament, and they're so handsome!" Since childhood, Song Tingnan has admired soldiers with upright faces, straight backs, and dashing walks.
"Yes, they can conceal their true nature for a while, but... we can't underestimate the enemy lurking in the shadows. So, we thought of you. You're skilled, quick-witted, and speak several languages. Now, the higher-ups suspect that my second cousin's girlfriend might be a double agent."
"Really? That's so exciting, like a movie."
Du Hongxue was both amused and exasperated by Song Tingnan's excited state; he was truly a young calf unafraid of tigers!
He said seriously, "Ting Nan, this matter is somewhat dangerous. I was sent by the higher-ups to ask for your opinion, not to force you to do it. You can refuse, after all, you are not an insider."
Song Tingnan thought about it carefully. She was somewhat eager to try, but the risk was a bit too high. But... "Are there any other suitable candidates?"
Du Hongxue said frankly, "There are no suitable ones for the time being, because those female soldiers can only understand English at most, and nothing else. It is very important to be able to understand their secret codes and to dig out their hideout."
"Hmm, why don't I give it a try!" Ting Nan thought that she knew lip reading and could probably help.
“Tingnan, why don’t you reconsider? This is really dangerous, and there are unknown enemies.” When Song Tingnan agreed, Du Hongxue hesitated. He felt conflicted upon hearing this answer.
Before coming, he was full of enthusiasm, hoping Ting Nan would agree. But after talking with Ting Nan and clarifying things, he understood the danger even more. Being a double agent meant that Ting Nan would face danger from several sides. They were the ones who made the connection, and what if… He didn't know how to explain it to Song Wanli and Gao Haoran. Song Ting Nan was only sixteen years old; no matter how composed she was, she was still a minor.
Song Tingnan knew Du Hongxue's inner struggle. Looking into his eyes, she said, "Brother Xue, I've thought it over. Back then, I studied and learned martial arts because I wanted to live a different life, to go to the 'battlefield' like Master and serve my country. Now that I have the opportunity, I can't turn a blind eye. 'An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one.' I will protect myself. Even if something happens, my family will be proud of me."
"Listen to Nan!"
"Senior, don't hesitate. I believe the higher-ups will do their best to protect our safety."
"That's for sure! But are you really sure?"
Song Tingnan nodded firmly. She wanted a different life, so she would treat it as an early internship.
"Alright! Your safety is the most important thing. You're coming with me now to meet the person in charge of this operation." Du Hongxue immediately stood up. He also believed that the higher-ups' capabilities and the importance they attached to this matter should ensure Tingnan's safety.
The reason the higher-ups sent him alone this time was twofold: firstly, they didn't want to attract attention, and secondly, they knew about Song Tingnan's upbringing and didn't want to put pressure on a college girl like her, so they wanted her to make her own choice.
When she met the leaders, Song Tingnan was neither humble nor arrogant. She sparred with them and answered their questions fluently and clearly in the oral tests of various countries. She was thinking that she could not let her master and senior brothers-in-arms, the former members of the 'Dark Night' team, down.
The matter was carried out in secrecy, with only two leaders involved. After a series of tests and conversations, the leaders nodded repeatedly in approval. She was politically conscious, young and inconspicuous, capable in both literary and martial arts, and composed and knew when to advance and retreat. This candidate was very suitable, so they immediately assigned her a new identity—Peng Dan, Yu Kewen's junior sister. At the same time, they told her to prioritize her own safety and to run away first in case of danger.
As for whether this "junior sister" is a researcher or the child of one of Yu Kewen's teachers, it's unclear. It's better to let the enemy agents speculate on their own.
The surname "Peng" in "Peng Dan" will make people guess for a long time, because there is a physicist named "Huanwu" with the surname "Peng" who is also a celebrity who has attracted much attention. They like to guess, so let them be clever.
