Qin Shuli had his face tightly wrapped up, making it impossible for outsiders to tell what he looked like. He walked into Bailao Hutong, moving steadily westward with the flow of the crowd. As he passed a restaurant, his Space fully expanded. Although he couldn't see the other people's faces, he could clearly see where everyone was sitting and what they were carrying on them—it was just like infrared vision.
In a second-floor private room facing the street, someone was carrying a Mauser C96 and the stamps used for a contact meeting. The corners of Qin Shuli's mouth curled up beneath his mask; this man should be the Eighth Route Army operative who came to pick up the medicine. However, in the private room directly across from them, two people carrying Brownings were hiding behind the door.
Qin Shuli didn't slow his pace. Just as he had guessed, the person who came to pick up the medicine had indeed been exposed, though how the exposure happened remained unclear. Yet he was certain that this person had not turned traitor, as there were no signs of physical injuries on him. The probability of an Underground Party member turning traitor without undergoing interrogation was extremely low, especially given the years of development and the growing strength of the Red Party.
