The Spy

Chapter 381 Abandoning Development
The person who instigated the rebellion this time was different from Takeda.

It was not coercion, but pure inducement. They did not write a letter of allegiance, it was just a deal. Xu Qingyun's control over them was very weak, and it was obviously not Xu Qingyun's ultimate goal.

But once on his boat, it's not easy to get off.

Take your time, Xu Qingyun is not an impatient person.

After Yan Ming left, they found out a few more people besides those who were instigating rebellion.

Xu Qingyun slowly looked through the information provided by the two people.

The first time they provided not much intelligence, mainly the situation of their own army. What Xu Qingyun wants now is intelligence on the deployment of Japanese troops on the front line, so these intelligence are not of much use.

Not huge, but not useless.

After being reorganized by Boss Dai, the special operations team was reorganized last month and is now named the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.

There were activities of the Loyal and Patriotic Army outside the city of Shanghai.

These troops pose a considerable threat to the Loyal and Patriotic Army. Understanding their dynamics can help the Loyal and Patriotic Army avoid some dangers.

There are currently three groups of Loyal and Patriotic Army operating outside Shanghai, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Since they are not numerous, the Japanese can easily wipe them all out in a direct fight.

But guerrilla warfare would cause the Japanese a lot of headaches.

They have already inflicted some damage on some of the Japanese transport units and achieved certain results.

Xu Qingyun did not have direct command over the Loyal and Patriotic Army.

However, the Loyal and Patriotic Army has to cooperate with the Shanghai District, and Xu Qingyun's rank is higher than theirs.

Not to mention having a certain degree of control, even if he didn't have that, as long as it was an anti-Japanese team, Xu Qingyun would protect it.

Now is the time to unite and resist foreign enemies together.

As for other things, we’ll talk about them later.

At the moment of life and death of the country, Xu Qingyun was able to grasp the major issues of right and wrong.

In a place in the French Concession, Secretary Yang of the Shanghai Organization and Minister Yu Licheng were meeting secretly.

"This is Comrade Dai Congxue's report. Please take a look first."

Secretary Yang told the minister that Dai Congxue was her real name, which was already known to the Japanese and the Guo Party, and she was now using a pseudonym.

She would not mention her pseudonym Secretary Yang. This was the experience they had summed up with countless blood. Behind enemy lines, as long as they were irrelevant, there was no need and they would never let others know the situation of their comrades.

Even though Minister Yu is in charge of organizational work, he will not tell others things that he should not know.

"Minister Xiang means that we should not develop Bai Xu for the time being?"

Minister Yu finished reading it quickly, looked up and asked.

Secretary Yang took out the note, which was the information passed to the minister through the dead mailbox. After receiving it, he called Minister Yu.

Minister Yu’s previous plan was to develop Bai Xu, inquire about Xu Xiaoer’s situation through Bai Xu, and even try to develop Xu Xiaoer.

Secretary Yang did not fully agree with the plan, but he did not oppose it either.

The main thing is that they really need intelligence from the Japanese, and Bai Xu is indeed a good breakthrough point.

"Bai Xu values ​​his family. If we develop her, she will refuse due to these concerns. Moreover, she knows Xu Xiaoer's situation well, which makes it even more difficult to develop her."

Secretary Yang nodded and said, there is nothing wrong in valuing family, it is common sense among Chinese people.

Filial piety is a must. If an unfilial person, do you expect him to be affectionate, loyal to the organization?

That's not possible.

"I understand. I will look for a breakthrough somewhere else and give up developing Bai Xu."

Minister Yu replied softly that since it was difficult, the goal was difficult to achieve, and it might expose one's own comrades, such a risk could not be taken.

In fact, his words were purely consolation.

Bai Xu's situation was the best. She was forced by the Japanese to marry Xu Xiaoer.

Xu Xiaoer was a traitor to the Military Control Commission.

The others were worse than Xu Xiaoer. They all surrendered after being caught. Not to say that they were all afraid of death, but at least they could not be fully trusted.

Minister Yu would not try this on them easily.

"Alright, how's Comrade Flame doing lately?"

Flame is Fu Wenzhen's code name, and Minister Yu is his superior. The two have always been in single-line contact.

"Comrade Huoyan is very good. He has no problems. The Military Control Commission Shanghai District has been targeting the Japanese. Xu Qingyun is very powerful and has made very targeted arrangements against the Japanese. He doesn't know the specific process, but he will definitely be able to obtain intelligence from the Japanese."

Minister Yu immediately replied that he had just received intelligence from Fu Wenzhen two days ago.

Fu Wenzhen would not pass on information unless there was something special. The time for him to pass on information was not fixed. Minister Yu had never taken the initiative to assign tasks to Fu Wenzhen. He always passively received information.

Only in this way can we better protect Fu Wenzhen.

Yu Licheng knew very well that Xu Qingyun was not an ordinary spy, he was really powerful. Just look at what he had done before and you would know that the Shanghai Special High Section was almost completely suppressed by the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District.

As long as Fu Wenzhen does not actively collect intelligence, his safety will be guaranteed.

Otherwise, if there is any abnormality, Xu Qingyun may discover it.

Minister Yu never looked down on Xu Qingyun and paid more attention to Wen Zheng's safety. From the very beginning, he never assigned Wen Zheng any tasks.

Mainly it's not necessary.

Whether it was during the Shanghai station period or the current Shanghai district, no one has actively targeted them.

In this situation, Fu Wenzhen’s safety must of course be put first.

"That's good."

Secretary Yang nodded slightly. Fu Wenzhen was the action team leader and he needed help with some things, but not everything would be left to him.

This time, the intelligence team is the main force in the rebellion, and the action team is the auxiliary.

So Fu Wenzhen knew that the Shanghai area was making arrangements against the Japanese, but he did not know the specific process or the results.

The two chatted briefly and Yu Licheng left soon.

The environment behind enemy lines was brutal, and they could not have prolonged contact in order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese.

Be extra careful every time you make a connection.

A moment of carelessness could lead to extremely tragic consequences.

Bai Xu continued to go to school every day, but still no one paid attention to her, as if she was an outsider.

Even the teacher usually doesn't dare to ask her.

The last situation really scared everyone, especially the death of Director Gao, which was even more shocking.

No one expected that Bai Xu had such great power.

Bai Xu was depressed because no one paid attention to her. She was not stupid, but very smart. She knew that her classmates were afraid of her and must have spread a lot of rumors about her.

"Xiao Er, I don't want to go to school anymore."

During the meal that day, Bai Xu suddenly said, Xu Xiaoer raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

He immediately understood that Bai Xu didn't want to stay in that depressing place because of the environment in the school.

After the last incident, Xu Xiaoer did not do nothing.

He is very smart and knows how to bribe people.

He bribed a teacher and a male student in the school and asked them to help him keep an eye on the situation in the school.

Prevent anyone from targeting Bai Xu again.

He knew more about the situation in the school than Bai Xu. "It's okay. If you don't want to go, let's take a break, or I can help you transfer to another school."

Xu Xiaoer whispered to comfort him, but Bai Xu shook his head gently: "Transfer to another school, where can I transfer to?"

Not to mention that there are not many normal schools, and these schools also keep in touch with each other. Other schools must have known about her situation, so there is no point in transferring her.

"Anywhere is fine. Don't worry, I will help you solve your problem."

Xu Xiaoer replied softly that he had also been excluded in school and knew this feeling well.

But his situation was different from Bai Xu's. He was excluded because his grades were too poor and others looked down on him.

He is last in running, last in shooting, and no one can match him in fighting.

Even in some simple climbs, he was still last in the group.

The weakest person will not be respected by others no matter what the circumstances.

"it is good."

Bai Xu seemed very obedient. She didn't know how to solve the problem, but Xu Xiaoer said there was a way, and she believed Xu Xiaoer.

Not long after getting married, Xu Xiaoer had become the most important person around her and gained Bai Xu's trust.

The next morning, Xu Xiaoer came to another university.

This university started earlier than the Normal University and is also a liberal arts school, but it does not have as many students as the Normal University.

In fact, teacher training schools have always been a popular major in China.

Especially now, with so many illiterate people in the country, teachers are very important. Not only do they have high salaries and good treatment, they are also a large group of intellectuals at this time.

In the 1980s and 1990s, teacher training was still a popular subject.

After economic development, the popularity of teacher training has gradually declined, but it is still an employment option for many students.

It can be said that every place has its own normal school.

"Are you Principal Wu?"

Xu Xiaoer brought people to the principal's office and sat down casually.

He brought two of his men with him, and they were staring at the principal with a fierce look in their eyes.

The Detective Brigade has a very low status in the Special High Police, but no one dares to provoke it outside. When you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. The Special High Police is a spy agency. No matter whether they are Japanese or Chinese, most people are unwilling to deal with spies.

There are too many taboos for spies. If they are not careful, they may be charged with spying, which may result in the loss of their job at the very least, or even their life at the worst.

"Hello, Captain Xu. If you have any instructions, please let me know."

Principal Wu was also a traitor. The Japanese attached great importance to education, and they replaced the principals of all the schools that were able to open.

They want to brainwash the Chinese starting with the students.

"Nothing, there is a student who is going to transfer to your school, but you need to keep this matter a secret from me."

Xu Xiaoer said with a smile, and Principal Wu was stunned. Just transferring schools?

For such a small matter, does Xu Xiaoer need to personally bring people to the door?
To Principal Wu, Xu Xiaoer, the squad leader of the detective brigade, was a big shot whom he could not afford to offend.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get it done and keep it confidential."

"That's good."

Xu Xiaoer stood up, looked around, and then said, "Your office furniture is a bit old. I will arrange for someone to send you some new ones later. Remember, you must never say anything you shouldn't say."

Principal Wu was startled again, then showed surprise: "Don't worry, I won't tell you even if you kill me."

Xu Xiaoer did not stay and left directly. He was an outsider in the detective brigade and did not need to handle cases.

But it doesn't mean he has no real power.

Among the three team leaders, he is the most powerful one. Even the captain Cao Xiangwen cannot order Xu Xiaoer to do anything.

He forced Principal Wu to keep the secret and gave him a sweet treat.

It's not so easy to get his favors. If you get the benefits but don't do it seriously, Xu Xiaoer will definitely put him in the Special High Section prison.

"Bai Xu, I've arranged it for you. You will transfer to Nanyang Public College."

After returning home, Xu Xiaoer told Bai Xu the good news.

"Nanyang Public College?"

Bai Xu was slightly stunned. She was a student and knew a lot about schools in Shanghai. Nanyang College did not have many students now, but it was a large place.

Nanyang College was previously the Jiaotong University. After the Battle of Shanghai, it moved to the concession to continue its operations.

But not everyone went to the concession. Some students stayed. The Japanese reassigned the principal and recruited a group of new students, continuing to run the school under the name of Nanyang College.

"There are fewer people there, but they have liberal arts and can let you graduate. Don't worry, what happened before will not happen again."

In fact, Xu Xiaoer most wanted Bai Xu to go to school in the concession, but the Japanese would never agree.

He could only find a suitable school for Bai Xu in the Japanese territory.

"I know." Bai Xu lowered his head.

"When you go to the new school, change your name to Bai Xue, so that no one will know about your past."

Xu Xiaoer did change Bai Xu's name. If she went there with her original name, people there would quickly guess who she was.

Xu Xiaoer didn't think too much about it. He just wanted Bai Xu to enjoy her college life and then graduate.

"it is good."

Bai Xu nodded again. She understood that changing her name was for her own good. She was not familiar with Nanyang College and the people there did not know her. After she changed her name, the people there naturally would not know that the Bai Xu from the Normal University was her.

"I will send you directly to the new school tomorrow. I will ask for leave from this school first so that no one will know about your transfer."

Bai Xu was stunned again. During this period of public life, he discovered that Xu Xiaoer was very thoughtful.

I didn't expect that all these were taken into consideration by her.

The later she completes the transfer procedures, the less likely people at her new school will know.

Besides, she changed her name to go to school, so she didn't have to go through the transfer procedures for new students. She believed that Xu Xiaoer would definitely take care of everything for her and let her graduate smoothly.

There was no conversation that night, but they both went to bed very late.

The next morning, Xu Xiaoer got up and went out to buy breakfast.

Bai Xu can cook, but Xu Xiaoer feels sorry for her and never lets her cook in the morning. Even for dinner, Bai Xu only cooked a few times, and after that, Xu Xiaoer cooked by herself.

No matter how busy Xu Xiaoer was at noon, he would come back and take Bai Xu out for lunch.

It can be said that Bai Xu’s life now is better than before, and he doesn’t have to do anything by himself.

Even when doing laundry, Xu Xiaoer found someone to help them.

All Bai Xu can do is sweep the floor and do housework. According to what Bai Xu described when she chatted with her mother when she returned to her parents' home, she is now living the life of a young lady.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were very pleased that their daughter was happy.

No matter how reluctant they were at first, at least the Japanese did a good thing this time and found a husband of their dreams for Bai Xu.

"When you get there, go directly to Principal Wu and he will make arrangements for you."

The next morning, Xu Xiaoer sent Bai Xu to the vicinity of the school. From then on, he would never send him directly to the door to avoid being seen.

Bai Xu wants a simple college life, and Xu Xiaoer will try his best to fulfill her wish.

"Bai Xu?"

As Bai Xu just entered, a woman who was sweeping the floor suddenly raised her head and looked at her in surprise. Bai Xu seemed to sense something and just turned her head, the woman lowered her head again.
