The Spy

Chapter 382 Collecting Intelligence
Bai Xu seemed to sense something, glanced at the woman, and then entered the teaching building.

Dai Congxue raised his head only after her figure disappeared.

After the war, Dai Congxue experienced a lot. She helped the Red Party guerrillas, and was exposed to the wind and sun every day, which greatly changed her appearance.

Unless someone is particularly familiar with her, she would definitely not be recognized now.

Bai Xu happened to be the person who was very familiar to her.

The two have studied and lived together for more than a year and know each other very well.

It is no exaggeration to say that both of them know very well where the moles on the other's body are.

They bathed together and rubbed each other's backs.

She didn't know why Bai Xu suddenly came to this school. At this moment, she could only hope that Bai Xu came to the school to look for someone or for other business.

This way she can continue to lurk here.

"Welcome, Bai Xue. Commander Xu has already made arrangements for you. I will take you to the classroom."

Principal Wu personally received Bai Xu, and Xu Xiaoer had already replaced the entire set of furniture in his office.

These furnitures are not cheap.

A man who has received favors from others is grateful for what he has received, not to mention that he did not dare to offend Xu Xiaoer.

But he felt very comfortable doing such things.

Even though he was not given anything, he still did what he was asked to do. People also gave him a very nice set of furniture. Now he is much happier with his work in the office.

Look at Chief Xu, he is very capable in doing things.

"Principal, no need, I can go by myself."

Bai Xu was startled and shook his head hastily. Just as Principal Wu was about to speak, the Dean of Studies next to him took the initiative to say, "Principal, let me take Bai Xue to the classroom."

Principal Wu suddenly remembered that Xu Xiaoer had previously instructed that not only must Bai Xue keep the secret, but she must also keep a low profile in the school.

He gave it away directly, which was indeed a bit high-profile.

"Okay, thank you Director Liu for your help."

Principal Wu nodded, and Bai Xu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that everything was arranged by Xu Xiaoer, but she really didn't want to be noticed anymore.

She had had enough of the depressing days in the normal school.

Director Liu was very smart. He did not send Bai Xu directly to the classroom, but handed her over to her head teacher.

Bai Xu was taken to the classroom by the head teacher.

It's almost class time now, so it's a good time to arrange for new transfer students.

Bai Xu's homeroom teacher is a female teacher. She was surprised to learn that Bai Xu was a transfer student. Transfers to other schools were rare in this era, let alone in college.

"You transferred here from Nanjing?"

On the way to the classroom, the head teacher couldn't help but ask, in order to prevent Bai Xu from being disturbed again, Xu Xiaoer made a record for him as a transfer student from Nanjing.

I went to Shanghai with my family.

"Yes, Mr. Liang."

Bai Xu’s class teacher’s surname is Liang, he is in his forties and looks very kind.

"We have very good students here. I'm sure you'll be able to integrate into the class quickly."

Teacher Liang smiled. Under Japanese rule, students were very low-key and it was not easy to start school. Fortunately, these students knew that even if the Japanese forcibly added courses that were beneficial to them, the students would not believe it.

"Thank you, Teacher Liang."

As soon as Bai Xu finished speaking, he arrived at their classroom. The students in the classroom were chatting, and they stopped immediately when they saw the teacher and Bai Xu.

The classroom was instantly quiet.

"Classmates, this is Bai Xue, the student who transferred from Nanjing. We welcome the new student."

Teacher Liang took the initiative to speak, and there was a brief silence in the classroom, and soon there was warm applause, especially from the little boys, who were very happy.

Bai Xu is pretty, and who doesn’t like pretty female classmates?

"Shirayuki-san, please take the empty seat in the third row."

Teacher Liang pointed out a good seat. Mainly because there are fewer students now and the classes have been merged in the school, but the class still cannot be fully occupied.

"Thank you, Teacher Liang."

Bai Xu thanked him again, walked to his seat and sat down, and Teacher Liang began his lecture.

The two students studied different majors, and Bai Xu came halfway through the course, so this class was very difficult to follow, but he still learned something.

Dai Congxue has been paying attention to the situation in the school. She works in the school logistics department, mainly cleaning.

She is very hardworking and has a good reputation in school.

She didn't notice Bai Xu leaving, which made her worried.

In the Shanghai area, Yan Ming came to report again.

Of the six targets, four had been taken, but one did not agree and was killed by them.

Disagree means death.

He will not be given the opportunity to report it, so those who have previously instigated rebellion will be in danger and the Japanese will most likely conduct an investigation.

Although the Special Higher Police had their people, the Military Police Headquarters did not.

If the investigation was conducted not by the Special Higher Police but by the Military Police Headquarters, it would be very likely that those who had been subverted would be exposed.

As for the last one, Yan Ming gave up on his own initiative.

Although this person was very active and knew a lot of intelligence, Yan Ming found out before contacting him that he had a brother who was a high-ranking official in the Japanese army.

Such people generally will not sell out their country for money.

And killing him would probably attract his brother's pursuit.

The risk is too great, so it’s better to just give up.

The first six targets were considered completed. During this period, Fu Wenzhen led the action team and helped him find six new targets.

Next he will investigate these six targets.

The four of them sold a lot of Japanese military intelligence. As long as it was military intelligence, no matter where it came from, Xu Qingyun wanted it.

If they give Yan Ming some information, he will give them money based on the information.

Give more to those with high value, and give less to those with low value.

As long as there is value, there is money.

Yan Ming gave thousands of dollars to these four people alone.

But it's worth the money.

Xu Qingyun was looking at a piece of intelligence about the Japanese Sixth Division.

The Sixth Division was one of Japan's ace divisions with extremely strong combat effectiveness. They were one of the executioners of the Nanjing Massacre.

The person Yan Ming instigated to rebel was not of high rank and it was impossible for him to know the intelligence about the division's mobilization, but he had a friend in the Sixth Division who wrote to him, asking him when he would go to Hui Province or Wuhan.

Yan Ming had told them that any intelligence on friendly forces was needed, and the mole, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, exchanged this insignificant little thing for ten dollars.

He was very satisfied.

What Xu Qingyun was thinking about was why this person from the Sixth Division invited him to Wuhan?
Hui Province was fine, as the Sixth Division was stationed just north of Hui Province, but they were far away from Wuhan.

This person is a captain staff officer. His rank is not high, but he has the opportunity to access secret intelligence.

It seems that the Sixth Division will participate in the attack on Wuhan.

This is an important piece of information. Although we don't know the specific plan of the Sixth Division yet, the ten dollars spent on this alone is well worth it.

Next, Xu Qingyun will conduct a detailed investigation on the Sixth Division.

In addition to the Sixth Division, there is also intelligence from some places in Jiangxi, but the most comes from Shanghai and Nanjing.

At least half of the intelligence they purchased in Shanghai came from here.

Xu Qingyun didn’t know all of the Japanese deployment in Shanghai, but through analysis he understood at least half of it.

Including some naval intelligence. These army people are the most active in betraying the navy.

At present, this information is still too little, but Xu Qingyun believes that as he bribes more and more people, he will definitely be able to obtain more useful information in the future.

In addition to them, Xu Qingyun has another key source of intelligence.

Osaka, based on the good cooperation in previous times, the intelligence provided by Osaka recently is becoming more and more important.

Similarly, the money Xu Qingyun gave out was increasing, and he did not need to pay for it out of his own pocket, as the Military Control Commission headquarters would reimburse him.

This time, Xu Qingyun also purchased information from Osaka, but they did not respond to him.

I guess this requirement will be a bit difficult for Osaka.

In Xi'an, Xu Erxi is in the office of the pharmaceutical factory.

The war was tense and the sulfa drugs they produced were in short supply. Their young master was really amazing. Not only was he good at defeating the Japanese in terms of intelligence, he was also very good at doing business.

Many people didn’t understand why we invested so much money in the beginning.

How long has the pharmaceutical factory been in operation? All the money has been earned back.

If the young master hadn't controlled the prices, they would have made more money.

"Manager, General Chen Mutu's men are here."

The secretary pushed the door open from outside, and Xu Erxi left the police station, but his treatment was not bad.

There are so many people in the pharmaceutical factory and so many things to do, it is impossible for him to do it all by himself, so he has his own secretary.

And there is more than one secretary.

There are five people in his secretariat, who help him do various tasks. Xu Erxi will only receive really important people.

"Please."

Chen Mutu is the young master's partner and they have a good relationship.

He is also a person the old man trusts very much and has a large number of troops under his command. Having such a partner is equivalent to an extra layer of protection for their Xu family.

"Hello, Manager Xu."

As soon as Xu Erxi came out, he saw Chen Shouquan walking towards him.

As Chen Mutu's adjutant, Chen Shouquan can be said to be Chen Mutu's most trusted person. He can represent Chen Mutu in certain occasions.

"Adjutant Chen, welcome."

Xu Erxi was not a soldier, nor was he a policeman now. He stepped forward enthusiastically to shake hands and brought Chen Shouquan into the office.

Chen Shouquan came to pick up the goods, from Chongqing and Xi'an Pharmaceutical Factory.

Xu Qingyun was very kind to Chen Muchu and always gave him the most goods.

There are wars everywhere now, and life-saving medicine is very important. They want it no matter how much there is.

Chen Shouquan left quickly, very satisfied.

Xu Qingyun was really nice to them. Even though the supply was tight and others were urging for the goods, he still gave them a lot this time.

He will be able to explain to the general when he returns.

Xu Erxi sent Chen Shouquan to the door and glanced at the guard when he came back.

The pharmaceutical factory is very important. Like Xi'an and Chongqing, the agents have deployed a company of soldiers to protect it.

But all the people inside the pharmaceutical factory were hired by the Xu family themselves.

Xi'an Pharmaceutical Factory has its own security department with a total of 300 people.

All three hundred men were armed with machine guns, rifles, grenades, and even mortars.

Most people who want to take over pharmaceutical companies have to consider whether they have the ability to do so.

Not to mention ordinary bandits, even larger bandits probably wouldn't be able to break into the pharmaceutical factory.

Xu Erxi was looking at the sentry on duty.

The sentries in Chongqing are all members of the Xu family, who are loyal and reliable. There are not that many people who have escaped from the Xu family, and not all of them can be used in Xi'an. Half of the people in the Security Department were recruited by Xu Erxi from outside.

Many of them were introduced by acquaintances.

The sentry on duty at this time was the comrade hidden in secret introduced by the Red Party comrades.

He didn't know yet that Xu Erxi had seen through his identity.

Xu Erxi immediately accepted the person he introduced.

Xu Erxi conducted his own secret investigation and eventually confirmed that he was also his comrade.

Xu Erxi liked the feeling of having comrades around him, even if he didn't know it. It was a pity that the young master had no one of his own around him.

The old man and his family have not moved to Chongqing yet, but many people have already moved to Chongqing, and the housing prices in Chongqing have risen again.

In the young master's words, they have made a lot of money from these houses.

He didn't know exactly how much money the Xu family had now, but they were definitely one of the richest families in the country, and not many people could compare to them.

With so many generals and the cooperation with the Chen family, there is currently no problem with the Xu family's safety.

Xu Erxi still knows too little. Xu Qingyun's layout in the United States is even more powerful. Even though he didn't go there, he has already bribed many senior officials. If anything really happens, the United States will support him.

It's just not the right time yet.

In other words, Xu Qingyun didn't need to show these.

Xu Erxi would secretly protect his comrades. Now that he already knew three of his comrades, he and the eldest young master could resume contact with the organization at any time.

This is also the happiest and most joyful thing for them recently.

"Congxue, why are you here?"

In Shanghai, after get off work, Dai Congxue went to meet his supervisor.

His mission in school was not to collect intelligence, but to observe the students and see which ones were suitable for development.

The Red Party must absorb young people, preferably educated young people.

Not only him, but also some comrades from other places are doing this work.

Many young talents have rushed to Yanzhou to help build their hometown.

"Old Liu, I'm in trouble."

Dai Congxue had a worried look on his face. He and his superior Lao Liu were both directly under Secretary Yang's charge.

Minister Xiang was able to meet Dai Congxue before because they knew each other before, otherwise they would not be allowed to contact each other.

"What trouble?"

Old Liu's expression suddenly became serious.

"One of my classmates, Bai Xu, who the organization had asked about before, has transferred to our school."

Dai Congxue replied that she had been observing for a whole day and soon learned from other people's discussions that Bai Xu changed his name to Bai Xue and transferred to their school.

Dai Congxue could guess why he changed his name and transferred schools.

Bai Xu got married, and her husband took out her anger by killing the dean of her former school.

In this situation, it is difficult for her former classmates to continue to interact with her with the original mentality.

Dai Congxue is indeed smart. Even if she didn't return to school, she could guess the truth.

That's why Bai Xu changed his name and came to their side.

In this way, others don't know Bai Xu's true identity and can truly treat him as a classmate.

But if this happens, she will be in big trouble.

She knew that the dean was using her to frame Bai Xu, and Bai Xu was so familiar with her. Today she deliberately hid and didn't let Bai Xu see her, but she couldn't hide every day.

"If she recognizes you, will she report you?"

Lao Liu also understood the seriousness of the matter. Developing people was not their job. They only observed, and development was carried out by specialized comrades.

Lao Liu is also lurking in the school, which is another school.
