The Spy

Chapter 377 It Will Definitely Come True
"Yes Yes."

Cao Xiangwen nodded repeatedly. He was not a professional agent, so how could he tell me what the work arrangements would be?
After a while of flattering nonsense, Takeda couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him aside.

With just one simple action, Cao Xiangwen lost all his prestige.

Everyone can see that Cao Xiangwen is a puppet of the Japanese and does not have much power. The Japanese are the ones who really call the shots in their department.

"I'm only giving you one mission now. Look for clues about Chinese agents, whether they are the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Central Intelligence Bureau, or the Red Party. Anyone who finds the clues will be rewarded handsomely."

Takeda’s words are simple and clear. He doesn’t ask about methods or processes, he only cares about results.

Takeda did not give them a deadline, mainly because he wanted to see how they performed first.

Don't think you can be lazy just because there is no deadline. If you dare to be lazy, he will dare to kill people. It depends on who is so blind that he will run into the muzzle of the gun and become the chicken that is offered to the monkey.

Takeda had no psychological burden in killing these surrendered Chinese agents, and the Chinese would not blame him.

Of course, Xu Xiaoer is an exception.

His main task is not to investigate cases, but to make money.

"Xu Xiaoer, come with me."

After arranging the work, Takeda took Xu Xiaoer away alone, and the others returned to their offices.

Their offices were arranged in a corner of the Special High Section. The place that was originally used to store miscellaneous items was vacated to become their large offices, and there was also a small office that belonged to Cao Xiangwen alone.

More than twenty people, three teams, were crowded into these two large offices.

Some people don't even have a desk and have to squeeze in with others.

Faced with such an environment, many people were very disappointed. Although the Japanese organized them, they did not look down on them at all in their hearts.

"What happened to Xu Xiaoer?"

Someone suddenly asked, most of them were arrested in various places before, and they were from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Even a few of them were from the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and they did not know Xu Xiaoer.

Xu Xiaoer was a student and did not graduate at all.

"Who knows? Maybe the Japanese will call us over and scold us."

"Shh, keep your voice down, he is our captain."

Someone reminded them that Xu Xiaoer was indeed the team leader, but even the team leader was not taken seriously, let alone the squad leader?

"Captain, what can we do? We are all the same now."

Some people sneered, saying that after surrendering, they were all traitors, whether they were willing to admit it or not.

"Takeda-kun."

In the office, Xu Xiaoer stood in front of the desk, looking at Takeda a little nervously.

This is his normal reaction.

Neither of them knew that the person on the other side was their own person.

"How did the section chief and I treat you?" Takeda said slowly.

"You and the section chief have been very kind to me."

Xu Xiaoer responded immediately, and Takeda smiled and took out a box, which contained the money confiscated from Xu Xiaoer.

Originally there were about four thousand dollars, but now there are only more than two thousand left.

The remaining money has been spent on Xu Xiaoer.

"This is the capital given to you. Continue to do business. Within a year, you must increase these assets tenfold. Can you do it?"

From more than 2,000 to more than 20,000, a tenfold increase is indeed not easy.

But after giving it a year, Xu Xiaoer has the confidence to do so.

"Yes, don't worry, it will be no less than a year later."

Xu Xiaoer responded immediately, and Takeda nodded with satisfaction, letting Xu Xiaoer leave with the money.

When he was leaving the house, Xu Xiaoer was stunned again.

Why do Takeda's words sound so similar to what his master said? Could it be that when his master came to him, he had already guessed what the Japanese would ask him to do?
At the beginning, Zhao San also gave him a deadline to make money.

The same is true for the Japanese now, the difference is that the Japanese have higher requirements for him, but it takes longer.

The master said that his training was all done according to the district chief’s requirements.

Doesn't this mean that the district chief had already guessed from the beginning what he would do when he came to the Japanese side?
If this is true, the district chief is so terrible. The Japanese are simply being led by the nose by him. How can they possibly be a match for the district chief?

Xu Xiaoer first sent the money home and then returned to the office.

He has his own way of smuggling. It used to be a small-scale business, but now with the support of the Japanese, it will only be easier. He has absolute confidence in completing the task given to him by the Japanese.

However, he knew in his heart that his most important task was to collect intelligence.

Information from the Japanese side.

At this time, he had not contacted Zhao San yet. His master had told him not to contact him until he had gained the absolute trust of the Japanese.

Unless there is urgent and important information, you can use the emergency method or the dead mailbox.

It is not used at other times, this is to protect him.

"District Chief, Takeda has arranged for the waiter to do business."

Zhao San came to the office. There were very few people in the Shanghai district who knew Takeda, and Zhao San was one of them.

"The first step is considered a success. What happens next depends on him."

Xu Qingyun sighed. It has always been the most difficult to lurk around the enemy, especially for the Chinese. It is difficult for the Japanese to truly trust them.

From this point of view alone, Xu Xiaoer is a hero, a real hero.

"I believe he can do it well."

Zhao San nodded in response. Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded slowly: "I believe it too."

He really believed that Xu Xiaoer had very strong abilities, but others just hadn't discovered them.

An alliance of shared interests is the most important. Once Xu Xiaoer helps Kamei make enough money, even if someone suspects Xu Xiaoer, they will be cleared out by Kamei.

Xu Qingyun conducted a detailed investigation on Kamei.

He was not a fool who was deceived by the spirit of Bushido and was only concerned with serving his emperor.

Kamei is an egoist. If you give him enough benefits, he will do anything.

After Zhao San left, Xu Qingyun opened a document.

The last report of merit has been approved, and many people have been promoted to higher ranks, including Zhao San.

The people requested from Wuhan Station have arrived in Shanghai one after another. Yan Ming is screening them. After the screening, he will arrange for them to start work.

Their work is done in secret, and they all have a job in public as a cover.

However, they cannot work in Xu's Business or any place related to Xu's Business.

In Chongqing, Xu Jiaming is working at a pharmaceutical factory.

Today, pharmaceutical factories are fully committed to production, but even so, the sulfa drugs produced by the production department are not practical enough and are still mainly supplied to the military.

The ten agents that Xu Qingyun had found before had actually become their ten clients.

Apart from them, anyone who wants sulfa can only buy it from them.

It is equivalent to the benefits that Xu Qingyun gave them.

The ten people attached great importance to Xu Qingyun's pharmaceutical factory. In addition to Singapore, heavy troops were arranged for protection in Chongqing and Xi'an.

Especially in Chongqing, ten people each sent a company, which added up to more than a thousand people.

Even though they are not subordinate to each other, they will immediately take action if anyone dares to threaten the pharmaceutical company.

The disadvantage of not being under the same jurisdiction is that it is difficult to command them. At the same time, they do not pose a direct threat to the pharmaceutical company. If any group of people have any ideas about the pharmaceutical company, the others will unite to target them.

In this case, the pharmaceutical company may not be as stable as a rock, but at least it is safe and worry-free.

"Xu Xiaoer, come to my office." Cao Xiangwen came to the big office and noticed that Xu Xiaoer had returned, and immediately shouted.

"Yes."

Xu Xiaoer stood up. He was now the captain of Team 2, but there were still a few members of Team 3 in the office.

"Xu Xiaoer, what did Takeda Taijun want to ask you about just now?"

When they arrived at his private office, Cao Xiangwen asked with a smile. Cao Xiangwen's father was originally a celebrity with considerable reputation.

When the Japanese first came, the Cao family surrendered to the Japanese and became traitors, among the earliest batch of traitors.

Cao Xiangwen's father was relatively low-key and was not sanctioned, but he obeyed the Japanese's orders, so he was selected into the detective team and temporarily served as the captain.

"A little business matter."

"Business?"

Cao Xiangwen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Takeda was looking for Xu Xiaoer for business matters.

Cao Xiangwen rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since it is arranged by Takeda Taijun, you should do it seriously and don't let Takeda Taijun down."

"Don't worry, I will do it."

Xu Xiaoer felt disgusted but agreed on the surface. Cao Xiangwen didn't ask too many questions and just let Xu Xiaoer leave.

After Xu Xiaoer went out, he stood up.

In order to get this position, the Cao family spent a lot of money, to put it simply, they bought this official position.

Since you paid for it, you must find a way to get it back.

It is not difficult for the intelligence department to make money. They just need to find the right target and say that they are anti-Japanese elements, and then they will obediently pay money.

Or attack a business competitor.

However, the premise of all this is to please his masters, namely Takeda and Kamei.

It seems that I need to give them some more money in the future to consolidate my position.

Although more than 20 people are not a large number, they are still a force. These 20 people are all agents and can help him do a lot of things.

As for power, as long as you please the Japanese and make them happy, why would you be afraid of losing power?
"I am back."

After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Xiaoer goes home as usual. He does have some feelings for this family.

"I'm back, let's eat."

Bai Xu had already tied up her hair and prepared a meal at home. While eating, Xu Xiaoer said, "I asked you today, your school is about to start, what are you going to do?"

Bai Xu's studies had not yet been completed, but Xu Xiaoer had already learned a lot about her. Although the Japanese had bad intentions, they did find him a good girl.

Boss Bai was forced into a desperate situation. Under Japanese rule, if he didn't obey the Japanese, he would die.

“I want to go to school.”

Bai Xu replied in a low voice, looking at Xu Xiaoer pitifully. She really wanted to go back to school, but was afraid that Xu Xiaoer would not agree.

Although she is a new-age woman, she still cannot change the status quo.

A woman must obey her husband. If Xu Xiaoer didn't want her to go back to school, she really couldn't go back.

"Okay, I'll take you back after school starts."

What Bai Xu didn't expect was that Xu Xiaoer agreed immediately. In fact, Xu Xiaoer was also studying, but he was attending an agent training class.

He was also taken out without graduating.

But he was a repeater, which meant he was better than the others and had learned everything he needed to learn.

Combined with Zhao San's special training, Xu Xiaoer's abilities are now no less than other agents.

Except for the shooting.

There is no way around this. Zhao San can’t teach him.

"Really, thank you."

Bai Xu was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted happily that she didn't expect Xu Xiaoer to be so open-minded and agree to let her continue studying.

She would be happy as long as she could go back to school.

Her best classmates were there.

Xu Xiaoer also smiled. The food made by Bai Xu tasted delicious and he ate a lot.

At night, the two of them did unspeakable things. This was the task given to him by Kamei, and he had to complete it, otherwise the old fox Kamei would doubt his intentions.

Xu Xiaoer is not that worried about his wife and children.

They are not Japanese, but I must be careful in the future and must not reveal any flaws, otherwise I might kill them.

The next morning, Xu Xiaoer came to the Special High Section. After assigning tasks to team members at his desk, he left alone.

His main task is not to find Chinese agents, but business.

Now that he is doing business with the Japanese, it is easier than before. After finding his previous customers and wholesalers, Xu Xiaoer has increased the quantity of goods and even directly uses the Special High Section's vehicles to transport the goods.

Thanks to Takeda's greeting, his car was able to drive smoothly.

Time passed slowly, and after entering May, the weather in Shanghai warmed up, and more hardworking people did various jobs to barely make ends meet.

Many people have to work more than twelve hours a day, otherwise they cannot support their families.

All kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies are a heavy burden on them.

When people's lives are not going well, naturally some people will rebel.

In a mountainous area in Zhejiang Province, a group of people are traveling overnight.

"Instructor, can what you said really be achieved?"

A young soldier walked beside the instructor. They were a guerrilla force of the Red Party, the size of a company.

The small number of people makes it easier for them to hide.

Their mission was to fight guerrilla warfare around Shanghai, mainly attacking the Japanese logistics and helping more people survive.

"Of course, it will be possible."

The instructor smiled. This young soldier was only sixteen years old. All his family members were killed by the Japanese and he hated the Japanese to the core.

Moreover, he is very studious and has already learned hundreds of words.

Even if you can't read normally, at least you can recognize some key words and write them.

The instructors of the Red Party team have always had the task of teaching soldiers to read and write. All the soldiers worked very hard. They were eager to learn to read and become educated people.

With culture, their fighting power will be stronger.

"I believe in you. We will definitely be able to defeat all imperialism and build a happy home that truly belongs to the common people."

The little soldier smiled, the instructor touched his head, and took him on the journey.

The war was brutal and the environment was difficult.

However, he believes that as long as the Chinese people unite, the life they want will surely come.

He firmly believes in this.

Shanghai Normal University, the school finally resumed classes, but added courses required by the Japanese.

It is necessary to add it. The original principal was particularly opposed to it and was eventually brutally murdered by the Japanese. The new principal is a traitor and is very active in this regard.

The person who killed the principal was a traitor and has been sanctioned by the Shanghai District.

Because of the timely action of the Shanghai District, many other schools were spared. Most people did not dare to act rashly, for fear that they would be targeted by the Shanghai District and become the next unlucky one.

The traitors have summed up their experience: whoever is active and does more bad things will be targeted by the Military Control Commission immediately.

They are elusive and hard to guard against, and anyone they target is basically doomed.
