The military commander's search resulted soon. They destroyed two meteorological observation stations in Mulan Mountain and Jiuzhen Mountain, captured five Japanese spies, seized two radio stations, guns and other supplies.

After raid interrogation, the basic situation of the Japanese Iron Leopard organization in Wuhan was obtained. Subsequently, the four Japanese spy organizations' liaison stations in Wuhan were destroyed and 39 spies were arrested. Among them, two treasonists were arrested in the Supply Department of the Ninth War Zone Command, one of whom was appointed as the deputy director of the colonel.

This was a major victory in an anti-espionage war, which basically destroyed the spy organization of the Japanese intelligence agency in Wuhan.

In view of Gao Jiu's important role in it, the Military Commission applied to the Military Commission to commend Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu had just won the third-class Yunhui Medal and received 200,000 French currency awarded by the Military Commission. The Military Commission did not know how to reward Gao Jiu this time, so he simply asked him to make his own conditions.

Gao Jiu is a pragmatic person. He understands the difficulties of the Military Commission. This time he only had 50,000 French currency and applied to the Military Commission to supplement the 20th Army in Tanxi County to supplement the military source and ammunition.

Commander Yang and others were very moved to see that Gao Jiu was still thinking about them. Commander Yang sent a telegram to express his gratitude and said that Gao Jiu would buy real estate and land in Chongqing, all the matters of him being included. If there were any other needs, I hope Gao Jiu could think of him to help him. He would do his best and never refuse.

In order to thank Gao Jiu, the Military Control Commission provided Gao Jiu with a batch of high-explosive explosives and time bombs.

The third young master of Long had returned to Kunming. He sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying that he had sent someone to Vietnam to negotiate with the French about the supplies.

With the help of Lin Yanni, Gao Jiu has purchased a batch of military equipment in Wuhan. The need to seize the batch of materials in Vietnam is no longer so urgent. Gao Jiu did not intend to solve this problem himself. He replied to Mr. Long San, thanking him for his help and let him do his best and not be too embarrassed.

Seeing that everything he should have done was done, Gao Jiu planned to return to Taohua Mountain.

However, Gao Jiu still had some regrets. He wanted to build a batch of anti-aircraft machine guns to strengthen Taohua Mountain's defense against air. Unfortunately, anti-aircraft machine guns are so popular that even the Military Command does not have any inventory now, and Lin Wenhan can't help him.

Gao Jiu now has only two French Hatchcas 1930 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the amount of ammunition is also very limited.

Gao Jiu's harvest was huge this time when he came to Wuhan and was already satisfied. Seeing that there was nothing to do in Wuhan, he planned to return to Taohua Mountain.

Gao Jiu began to say goodbye to his acquaintances in Wuhan.

After careful calculation, Gao Jiu has quite a few friends in Wuhan, including the Chief of Staff of the Fifth War Zone, Deputy Chief of Staff, Director Feng, Qin Feng of the Military Intelligence Department, Zhao Guosheng of the 62nd Division, Wu Tianming and Chief of Staff of the 28th Army, Han Changgeng of the 9th War Zone, Li Fengming of the 20th Army, Yang Jun and Deputy Chief of the Military Control Commission, Director Li of the Military Intelligence Department, Wang Xilin, Deputy Director of the Counter-espionage Department, Chu Tianxiong, Stationmaster of Nanchang Station, etc. These people have had experiences fighting side by side with Gao Jiu, have deep friendships, and can be entrusted to them to help with important things. These connections are a great asset.

There are two other people who can be trusted, one is Deputy Si Ling. He owes Gao Jiu a great favor. At the critical moment, he will repay this favor.

The other one is Ouyang Xue. Through contact with her in Wuhan, Gao Jiu believed that she was a trustworthy person and should be a very good confidante. However, Gao Jiu still didn't want to get too close to her. Therefore, on the list above, Gao Jiu either sent a telegram or called directly to everyone, but this Ouyang Xue, Gao Jiu did not say goodbye to her.

After the Japanese spy organization in Wuhan was severely attacked, the threat to Lin Yanni was also lifted. So she went to work in the unit and went home to visit her parents.

Considering that the battle situation is relatively stable at the moment, in order to create an opportunity for her to get along with Gao Jiu, Director Feng specially approved Lin Yanni to take a temporary vacation until Gao Jiu left Wuhan. These days, Lin Yanni has been living at home.

That afternoon, Lin Yanni came to Gao Jiu and said that her parents invited Gao Jiu to visit her home.

Gao Jiu agreed happily that after leaving the house, Gao Jiu did not drive the car to Lin Yanni's house, but drove towards a department store not far away.

Lin Yanni asked curiously: "Brother Jiu, what are we going to do?"

Gao Jiu said: "It's hard to go to your house as a guest, so let's go and buy some gifts."

Lin Yanni must be willing. This is a matter of face, reflecting Gao Jiu's respect for Lin Yanni's parents, and of course, it is also respect for Lin Yanni.

After entering the department store, Gao Jiu went straight to the counter selling jewelry.

Gao Jiu asked, "Girl! What kind of jewelry does your mother like?"

Regarding the matter between Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu, what Lin Yanni is most worried about is her mother Huang Peishan's attitude. Although her mother does not clearly object to being with Gao Jiu now, Lin Yanni still hopes that her mother can happily accept her relationship with Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu is willing to please her mother, which of course made her very happy.

In this era, middle-aged women generally like to wear necklaces and bracelets. Gao Jiu asked Lin Yanni to choose a string of pearl necklaces and a pair of jade bracelets. The combined price of these two is 27,000 French coins. Gao Jiu took out the 50,000 French coins that the Military Commission had just rewarded him and handed them to Lin Yanni, asking Lin Yanni to pay, but Lin Yanni asked Gao Jiu to go by himself.

Gao Jiu was slightly surprised because Lin Yanni had always been rushing to do these things. However, it didn't matter to Gao Jiu, so he went to pay the money. After he came back, he found that Lin Yanni was still staring at the jewelry counter at the jewelry counter.

After Gao Jiu walked over, Lin Yanni pretended not to see Gao Jiu, and was still looking at the jewelry inside the counter.

Gao Jiu walked up to him and saw that there was a wedding ring inside. Gao Jiu suddenly understood why Lin Yanni was abnormal today. It turned out that she wanted to buy a wedding ring.

When Lin Yanni saw Gao Jiu walking to her, she asked timidly: "Brother Jiu, look, this ring is so beautiful!"

After saying that, she looked at Gao Jiu expectantly, feeling uneasy because Gao Jiu never made a clear understanding of their relationship. Lin Yanni wanted to test Gao Jiu's attitude by buying a wedding ring, but she was worried that Gao Jiu would not buy it, which means that Gao Jiu has not recognized his lover relationship with him.

Gao Jiu fully understood Lin Yanni's little thoughts. He really liked this beautiful and smart girl from the bottom of his heart. He looked at Lin Yanni lovingly and said with a smile: "If you like it, then let's buy it."

Lin Yanni had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and her tears instantly burst out. She hugged Gao Jiu in an instant, regardless of the fact that there were other people in the mall.

After a while, Gao Jiu stretched out his finger and gently wiped away the tears from her face, and said softly: "You can choose."

Lin Yanni chose a pair of wedding rings, totaling 47,000 fiat currency. Today Gao Jiu agreed to buy her a ring, and she was already very happy. She was a little worried that the price of the ring she chose was too high. You know, a major, a month's salary plus food subsidy, overtime subsidy, etc., was only 102 fiat currency, which was a large sum of the price of the ring for her. Although she knew that Gao Jiu was generous, she didn't want Gao Jiu to have an opinion of her. She asked anxiously: "Brother Jiu, do you think it's okay?"

Gao Jiu shook his head slightly, and Lin Yanni's heart skipped a beat. She was about to say, then when she changed to another pair, Gao Jiu said to the guy at the counter: "Is this your best ring? If there are any better ones, just take them out."

The guy at the counter rarely saw such a generous customer. He kept saying: "Yes, sir and lady, please wait for a while."

Soon the manager on this floor came over in person and opened an exquisite jewelry box with three diamond rings.

These three rings are indeed better than the pair of rings selected by Lin Yanni just now, in terms of their exquisite workmanship, novel styles, and diamond size.

Lin Yanni looked at the price tagged on it, the woman's ring was 88,000 fiat currency, and the man's ring was 98,000 fiat currency. She didn't try it on first, and asked carefully: "Brother Jiu, do you think it's okay?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Just like it."

Lin Yanni said happily: "Brother Jiu, you are so nice."

Lin Yanni then picked up the ring and put it on her hand. She looked at it herself, then raised her hand to Gao Jiu and asked, "Brother Jiu, do you look good?"

Lin Yanni's hands have delicate skin, fair and slender skin, and wearing a diamond ring on her fingers makes her look even more gorgeous.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "It looks good."

Lin Yanni said happily: "Thank you, Brother Jiu."

Not long after, the two arrived at Lin Yanni's yard and saw three cars parked inside. Lin Yanni recognized the license plates of these cars. They turned out to be the license plates of the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Director Feng of the MIIS in the Fifth War Zone.

She was very confused. It was normal for Director Feng to come to her home. Although the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff knew Lin Wenhan, they had no personal relationships. She didn't understand what these big guys were doing in their homes?

After entering the small building, Mrs. Zhao, a servant of the Lin family, said: "Miss, the master and his wife are accompanying the guests in the living room. They said, after you and Mr. Gao come back, go to the living room to see them."

Lin Yanni had already told Gao Jiu about the identity of the guest. Gao Jiu didn't know what these people were doing for a while. He guessed that there might be some tasks that he needed to perform by himself. Now he really didn't want to care about anything and decided not to agree to what they said, and he would return to Taohua Mountain tomorrow.

When he arrived at the living room door, Lin Yanni walked in front and pushed open the living room door, and walked in with Gao Jiu.

When Huang Peishan saw Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu coming in, she stood up from the sofa. She said happily: "Yanni, Mr. Gao, you are back, see who is coming."

The guests in the living room were indeed the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff and Director Feng of the Ninth War Zone.

It turned out that Director Feng had always had the idea of ​​proposing marriage to Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu. Seeing that Gao Jiu was leaving, he decided to do this before Gao Jiu left Wuhan.

However, Lin Yanni's father was the deputy minister of the Military Command, with the rank of lieutenant general. Although he was Lin Yanni's boss, his rank was too low. Face was extremely important in the military. If he rashly talked about this matter, it seemed a bit inappropriate. So he went to the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff and told them his thoughts.

After this period of time, the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Chief of Staff have already known the relationship between Gao Jiu and Lin Yanni. They also think that the two are very compatible. Of course, they are willing to do such a good thing as adult beauty.

Moreover, they were willing to use this favorable relationship to bring closer to Lin Wenhan. Their military ranks were one of the generals and the other was a lieutenant general, which was also more suitable in terms of identity, so the three of them came to the Lin family together to propose marriage to Lin Wenhan and his wife for Gao Jiu.

Lin Wenhan and Huang Peishan have basically accepted Gao Jiu in their hearts. They have this plan and want to tell the matter before Gao Jiu leaves Wuhan. Therefore, they specially prepared a family dinner and asked Lin Yanni to invite Gao Jiu over to discuss this matter.

In this era, although it has been relatively open to marriage and love issues, Lin Wenhan's generation still pays attention to three media and six recruitment. It is not convenient for them to tell Gao Jiu directly, and they have to wait for him to come to propose marriage.

The identity of the person who came to propose marriage must be higher than or at least matched with their Lin family's identity. The Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff and Director Feng not only have outstanding status, but also Lin Yanni's boss. They are the most suitable candidates for the appearance, and Lin Wenhan and his wife are very happy.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yanni was naturally very happy.

But Gao Jiu felt a little awkward. He wanted to let things go naturally because he had not figured out the matter with Xiao Yatong and Jiang Xiaomei, so he didn't want to make the marriage public now.

After the greetings, the Chief of Staff said with a smile: "Nether Gao Xian, there is no need to say that Yan Ni is a good child, an excellent revolutionary soldier, and has good character and appearance. We think that she is very compatible with Nephew Gao Xian. Nephew Gao Xian! Through this period of time, we are very familiar with each other and have established deep feelings. I heard that you can't find your parents for the time being, and we can be considered your elders in terms of age. Today, we are entrusted to us and want to propose marriage to the Lin family as your elders. I wonder if you are willing to give us some of this thin face?"

To be honest, the sudden appearance of Gao Jiu really made Gao Jiu feel a little embarrassed. After doing this, they put Gao Jiu on fire. Gao Jiu must express his opinion immediately.

However, Gao Jiu is not a person who is ignorant. If he refuses other people's kindness at this time, he will offend them completely. Gao Jiu will never do such a slap in the face. Besides, he really likes Lin Yanni from the bottom of his heart. As for how he will deal with his relationship with Xiao Yatong, Jiang Xiaomei and others in the future, let's talk about it later.

So, without hesitation, he immediately looked grateful and said, "Thank you uncle and uncle for your concern, my nephew is asking for it."

Seeing Gao Jiu's attitude, the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Director Feng felt that his face was shining and they were very happy.

Lin Wenhan and Huang Peishan were relieved when they saw Gao Jiu's attitude and smiled on their faces.

In fact, the happiest person here is of course Lin Yanni. Although Gao Jiu had bought a wedding ring, he still did not say the proposal to marry him. Therefore, Lin Yanni was still uneasy. At this moment, when she heard Gao Jiu agreeing to the marriage in person, a sense of happiness surged in her heart, and it seemed like a bursting feeling, which made her feel a little dizzy.

The Chief of Staff said to Lin Wenhan and his wife: "Minister Lin, I am older than you. Today I would like to call you Brother Lin. Yanni is your precious daughter and our subordinate. It can be said that we grew up watching her grow up. Yanni is a good child, she is your pride and the pride of our ninth war zone.

Nephew Gao Xian is a world-famous anti-Japanese hero. He sacrificed his life for the country and the nation and made great achievements. He values ​​friendship and keeps his trustworthyness, and has no choice but to say about his character. Moreover, he is handsome, talented and knowledgeable. Such young talents are rare.

We are willing to be his elders to propose marriage to your Yanni for him."

Lin Wenhan didn't speak immediately, but the smile on his face already showed his attitude. The reason why he didn't express his opinion immediately was that Huang Peishan had the final say in this matter.

Everyone also understood this, so they looked at Huang Peishan.

Huang Peishan hesitated. Her mood was quite complicated. Although she had already recognized the matter between Gao Jiu and Lin Yanni, at this decisive moment, she still had to think carefully. She always felt that there were still some problems in the place. On the one hand, she still thought that Gao Jiu was fighting and killing all day long, and was worried that he would have unexpected thoughts. On the other hand, she had now understood that between Gao Jiu and Lin Yanni, Gao Jiu was the one who was chasing her daughter. She was worried that she would agree so happily that Gao Jiu would despise her daughter and their Lin family.

Another point was that she felt that there were other women around Gao Jiu. This incident made her feel like a rock was pressed into her heart.

Seeing Huang Peishan's hesitant look, the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff and Director Feng felt a little embarrassed. They were very worried that if Huang Peishan did not agree, the old faces of these people would be left without a place to put them.

Lin Wenhan felt very embarrassed when he saw this situation. He was afraid that Huang Peishan would say anything unsuitable, and that scene would be too ugly.

He coughed and was about to say something when Lin Yanni said, "Mom! Look, this is the gift my ninth brother bought for you."

Lin Yanni knows her mother very well and is really worried that her mother will say some thrusts and obstacles at this time.

Lin Yanni has been with Gao Jiu for so long. She knew that although Gao Jiu usually looks smiling, he has a very strong personality. Once his mother annoys Gao Jiu, she doesn't know what consequences will be.

She decided to take the initiative and strike while the iron was hot, so that Huang Peishan could not say anything against him.

She took out the necklace and bracelet that Gao Jiu bought and gave it to Huang Peishan.

Huang Peishan is a person who knows the goods. She knew at a glance that these two items were expensive. When she saw the price on the label, she was still a little surprised.

She now wears a pearl necklace around her neck, which was left to her by her mother, worth 2,800 yuan. When dating other officers and wives, she is always willing to wear it on her neck to show off.

Seeing that the necklace that Gao Jiu gave her was actually worth 17,000 fiat currency. If it was exchanged for a big ocean, it would be worth 8,000 even at the price of the black market. The price of the bracelet was 10,000 fiat currency, which was also of great value. Huang Peishan couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
