Chapter 191 Xia Zhonglin's Advice
........
The following afternoon, Li Changfeng took Gu Xiaomeng aboard a French smuggling ship.
Compared to cargo ships used for smuggling, these smuggling ships are the safest.
Captain Yersin was a French antique dealer who frequently went there to buy goods.
Since the start of the war, many wealthy people have been selling off large quantities of antiques.
This was a great opportunity for Yerson to make a fortune.
The large ship departed from the dock and soon arrived in Jinling.
"Mr. Li, this is my good friend, Nobutsu Sakata."
"This is my friend, Mike Lee."
"He's about to be sent to the Northwest to suppress bandits."
"I will no longer be in charge of patrolling this section of the river."
"I heard the fighting is fierce in the north, and we businessmen are always on edge whenever we go there."
"........."
Upon arriving at a ferry crossing, Yerson pointed to a Japanese colonel and introduced him to Li Changfeng.
To make his journey easier, Li Changfeng adopted a French name: Li Mike.
Gu Xiaomeng was hidden in the ship's storage room; her identity was somewhat sensitive.
Li Changfeng bowed slightly and looked around.
The Japanese have blocked the river, and many cargo ships have been intercepted.
However, after accepting the stack of banknotes from Yersin, Sakata Shintetsu waved to the soldiers at the ferry crossing.
“It is Mr. Yerson’s ship, with a special pass granted by General Noda.”
"Release them immediately—"
Li Changfeng glanced back at Ye Erxun, only to see that the guy was holding a small blue notebook.
It turned out to be a special pass from the headquarters in Nanjing.
Li Changfeng immediately began to look at these businessmen with new respect.
"Sakata-kun, goodbye..."
Yersen waved to Sakata Nobutetsu, and the large ship sailed downstream.
After passing Wuhan, we arrived in the Zhangjiajie area.
Once you cross one mountain, you'll reach the mountain town.
........
Just as Yerson and his group left, the Japanese soldiers from the Nanjing Special Higher Police and the Military Police arrived.
A group of Japanese spies blockaded the dock and began inspecting passing ships.
A few hours later, Japanese Colonel Harada Ichiro walked into the Bai Mansion dejectedly.
"Araki-kun, the information is incorrect."
"We searched the ship at the dock and found no suspicious persons."
"I also contacted the Nanjing Special Higher Police to check the passing ships, but found nothing unusual."
Upon hearing this, Japanese Colonel Araki Ryuichi, who was drinking tea, was taken aback.
He then slammed his hand on the table.
“Harada-kun, my information is absolutely true.”
"According to my informant in Shanghai, these two men boarded the ship at 6 p.m.
"Someone must have leaked the information."
"What exactly are your Black Dragon Society's spies doing?"
"I had the military police and the Special Higher Police cooperate with you, but they found nothing."
"What a bunch of idiots..."
Araki Ryuichi stood up and shouted angrily.
Just then, an intelligence agent from the Bai Mansion walked in.
He whispered a few words directly in Araki Ryuichi's ear.
Araki Ryuu's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
"This... how is this possible?"
"The black snake has been discovered..."
"Where exactly did the flaw go?"
Just as Araki Ryuichi looked puzzled, Harada Ichiro, standing to the side, was looking at the intelligence officer beside him.
"What happened?"
The intelligence officer on the side hesitated to speak, but Araki Ryu waved him away.
He then bowed slightly to Harada Ichiro.
"Harada-kun, I misunderstood you."
“Our undercover agent in the Shanghai intelligence station has been exposed, and the other side may have changed its course.”
"Or perhaps they never left Shanghai at all."
"Black Snake was an informant I had been developing for over a year, and I still don't understand how he was exposed."
"........."
As he spoke, Araki Ryuichi collapsed to the ground.
Upon hearing this, Harada Ichiro immediately shook his head.
"Araki-kun, the enemy is smarter than we thought."
"Let's contact our contacts in Chongqing to confirm the information."
"We must give General Matsumoto an explanation for this failure."
With that, he slowly turned and left the Bai Mansion.
........
Seven days later, Li Changfeng brought Gu Xiaomeng to the mountain city.
Intelligence Chief Long Shaofei personally received them.
"Stinger, your infiltration mission is complete."
"They infiltrated the Japanese intelligence agency by hiding and brought back a very valuable third-generation cipher machine."
"They also killed the Japanese general Kagesa and severely damaged the Zero destroyer."
"The boss appreciates you very much."
"This is your training course ID. You can go and register after you've rested for a bit."
"However, before that, a routine screening must be conducted..."
Long Shaofei looked at Li Changfeng and said very solemnly.
After all, this guy's rank was one level higher than his own, making him a true ace agent.
"Thank you, Director Long."
Li Changfeng bowed slightly, took his identification, and left the intelligence department.
Then two guards led him to a courtyard.
Gu Xiaomeng was taken to the telecommunications department and given a new job.
Over the next few days, several members of the counter-espionage department followed and interrogated Li Changfeng.
Half a month later, because of his status as a special envoy of the Emperor, Li Changfeng was imprisoned in the dungeon of the interrogation room.
........
"This Fang Changhe is outrageous."
"As soon as Stinger returned to the mountain city, he was locked up."
"What does he want to do?"
In the office, Boss Dai smashed the ashtray on the table onto the floor.
He put his hands on his hips and said angrily.
Fang Changhe from the counter-espionage department is one of the old man's men; he's incredibly tough.
Boss Dai issued several orders in succession, but refused to release the person.
This commotion has ruined Boss Dai's plan to keep Stinger in the special training class.
"Boss, Director Fang also has his own considerations."
"After all, Stinger has a special status, and some people say that he has a relationship with Japanese cabinet minister Ito Hirobumi."
"However, there is a way to get Stinger out of the mountain city right now."
Seeing Boss Dai's expression, Secretary Xia Zhonglin immediately offered some advice.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward, and said.
"any solution?"
"If you tell me, I'll give you two gold bars."
As he spoke, Boss Dai took two gold bars from the drawer and placed them on the table.
Xia Zhonglin smiled slightly and pointed to a spot on the map.
"Boss, the battle for Beiping has yielded no results."
"After Chen Gongshu and Wang Tianmu went there, their operations failed several times in a row."
"I heard that the Japanese have implemented a rice policy over there, and the brothers are not even able to get enough to eat."
"Several branch stations were raided yesterday..."
"Why not send Poison Sting to infiltrate the Kwantung Army and redeem himself through meritorious service?"
Xia Zhonglin said cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Boss Dai's eyes lit up.
"Haha, that's a good idea."
"Since Fang Changhe said that Poison Sting's identity is suspicious, send him to Beiping to continue his undercover work."
"If he really is some damned imperial envoy, then let Wang Tianmu shoot him dead."
"If it's one of our own, then it's like stabbing the enemy in the heart."
"Boss Dai said excitedly."
He then picked up the phone and called his fourth brother, Xu Baichuan.
"Fourth brother, take my guards and go to the dungeon to bring Li Changfeng out."
"You don't need to worry about Fang Changhe. I'll negotiate with him personally."
"The old man still gave me this much face..."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Looking at Xia Zhonglin on the side, he went up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Go and send a telegram to the Beiping battle."
"Let them produce some results for me."
"I'll go and inspect it in person in a few months..."
Xia Zhonglin immediately bowed slightly and walked towards the telecommunications office.
