Chapter 359 offline
From the moment the job applicants arrived, Zhao Xuan had Edith activate the scanning mode. Among the crowd, Huang Qian, who was a member of the underground party, was like a 300-watt light bulb; it was impossible for Zhao Xuan not to notice her.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan frequently exchanged telegrams with Xia Gong, so he naturally knew that Huang Qian was Zhou Hao's fiancée and that Zhou Hao had already been arrested.

Zhao Xuan was unaware that Huang Qian had been dispatched by the organization to Shanghai to carry out a mission.

Based on the information obtained from the scanned files, Huang Qian's mission was to infiltrate the original organization.

But now, Huang Qian is here for another interview.

Zhao Xuan didn't even need to think to guess that the original organization planned to plant an informant by his side.

As for Huang Qian's mission to infiltrate the original organization, to be honest, Zhao Xuan didn't think that Huang Qian's entry into the Special Higher Police meant she was no longer infiltrating the original organization.

On the contrary, Huang Qian, who joined the Special Higher Police, was able to become a better member of the original organization and received more attention from Doiyuu.

Zhao Xuan felt this would be of great help to Huang Qian's undercover work.

Moreover, the fact that Huang Qian was sent to Shanghai by the organization and was able to successfully enter the original agency made Zhao Xuan think for a moment and then roughly complete the process.

Zhou Hao was arrested. This Zhou Hao was a spy sent to Yan'an by Tu Feiyuan.

After Zhou Hao was arrested, Huang Qian naturally learned of Zhou Hao's identity.

The organization also wanted to use Huang Qian's engagement to Zhou Hao to infiltrate the original agency. As for what mission Huang Qian would be assigned to the agency, Zhao Xuan had no idea.

Looking at the two people sitting upright across from him at his desk, Zhao Xuan said calmly:

"Let me introduce myself first."

Huang Qian glanced at Lin Jieru beside her. Seeing that Lin Jieru was as steady as an old dog, Huang Qian inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Qian thought to herself that although her looks and figure were comparable to Lin Jieru's, her timid performance was no match for Lin Jieru's. It seemed that she was sure to be eliminated in this round.

"Good day, sir. My name is Lin Jieru. I am literate, skilled, and obedient. I hope to work with you. That concludes my introduction."

Huang Qian stared at Lin Jieru with wide eyes, thinking, "What kind of self-introduction is this? No, sister."

Literacy?

obedient?

Is that considered an advantage?

Zhao Xuan almost burst out laughing when he heard Lin Jieru's self-introduction. Was he sure his subordinate wasn't here to be a joke?

However, Zhao Xuan nodded and looked at Huang Qian with a deep expression, signaling Huang Qian to begin her self-introduction.

Huang Qian coughed lightly, her mind made up. No, she absolutely could not be better than Lin Jieru.

"Good morning, sir. My name is Huang Qian. I didn't finish elementary school (I can't read), I'm weak and frail, and I'm prone to making mistakes (I'm disobedient). But I still really hope to work with you, sir. That concludes my introduction."

Zhao Xuan's lips twitched slightly. Were these two guys really not here to be funny?
Seeing Zhao Xuan's micro-expression, Huang Qian felt relieved and secretly clenched her fist. This time it's in the bag; even the superior was speechless.

Even Lin Jieru turned her head to look at Huang Qian with a surprised expression. Her introduction was the truth, but Huang Qian's was obviously a fake!
So, Chenguang found this person to help him relieve his tension?
During dialysis, Zhao Xuan was able to detect the psychological activities of Lin Jieru and Huang Qian.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xuan decided to help Huang Qian.

After all, Huang Qian was clearly a rookie who hadn't received much special agent training. She had some basic skills, but in Zhao Xuan's eyes, she was completely unqualified.

Although Huang Qian is now able to infiltrate her original organization, Zhao Xuan is not optimistic that she can complete the tasks assigned by the organization given her current professional skills.

Alright, let's keep him close by and train him for now. We also need to report this situation to Lord Xia.

After thinking it over, Zhao Xuan smiled and looked at the two of them, saying:

"It seems you two complement each other quite well. Alright, you two, come and report for duty before 8:30 tomorrow morning. Congratulations on successfully joining the Special Higher Police."

Lin Jieru's face lit up with joy, while Huang Qianru looked like she had lost her parents, her smile more like a grimace as she nodded at Zhao Xuan.

"Alright, that's all for today. Go and get back to your work. You only have one day to sort out your outside affairs. Starting tomorrow, as my secretaries, you two will be working alongside me."

Huang Qian nodded blankly and left Zhao Xuan's office, looking rather dejected.

After leaving the section chief's office, seeing Huang Qian's dejected appearance, the staff working in the office area stopped what they were doing and looked at Huang Qian with sympathy. They all thought that Huang Qian had failed to be selected, which was why she was in a bad mood.

At this moment, inside the section chief's office.

Lin Jieru looked at Zhao Xuan with shining eyes, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head:

"Just say what you have to say, it's safe here."

Lin Jieru grinned, leaned closer, placed her hands on the desk, and stared intently at Zhao Xuan as she said:

"Boss, I have my own downline now, and I'm going to meet them in a bit. Boss, what should I be careful about when I meet with my downline for the first time?"

Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Jieru in surprise. He didn't expect her to go offline again. What was the organization doing?
"Your downline?"

Lin Jieru had nothing to hide from Zhao Xuan. In her view, since he was her subordinate, he was Chen Guang's subordinate.

What else could she possibly hide from someone on this line of work?

Of course, Lin Jieru wasn't stupid. She could keep it from Zhao Xuan, but she wouldn't tell her subordinates that she was Chenguang's subordinate.

"Southern Wild Goose!"

"lead."

"Don't call me boss, get used to it first, just call me section chief."

"Okay, Section Chief, what should I be careful about?"

Upon hearing the code name Nan Yan, Zhao Xuan knew that Lin Jieru's subordinate was Huang Qian.

Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Jieru speechlessly:
"Just be careful not to be surprised when you meet him."

"Alright, let's go. Be on time tomorrow."

"Yes, section chief!"

Seeing Lin Jieru, who looked radiant but seemed somewhat bewildered after hearing his words, and walked out of the office with a silly grin, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems that too little homework was assigned, after all, Lin Jieru is still full of energy.

The homework load isn't heavy enough; we need to give Lin Jieru more responsibilities.

After leaving the Special Higher Police, Huang Qian carefully observed that no one was following her before arriving at the Baoshan Street Cinema, the meeting place for her to meet her superior, Future Comrade.

The cinema was almost empty in the afternoon. Huang Qian quickly found her seat and glanced at the screen. It was showing "The Romance of the Western Chamber," a movie starring the famous actresses Zhou Xuan and Li Xiangjun.

This was Huang Qian's first time watching a movie, and she became so engrossed that she didn't even notice when someone came up next to her.

Lin Jieru, sitting next to Huang Qian, was utterly speechless.

Is the organization serious about having such a network of downlines?

The movie theater was dimly lit, and Lin Jieru didn't recognize Huang Qian at first.

When Huang Qian came to her senses, she was surprised to find that the contact person had arrived, but she did not recognize Lin Jieru.

Seeing that she had finally realized what was happening, Lin Jieru reached out and placed her hand on Huang Qian's thigh, typing Morse code.

Huang Qian was slightly startled. She didn't even know if the other party was male or female, and yet, on their first meeting, the contact person actually started groping her!

Lin Jieru was certain that the person next to her was not a man, after all, the perfume smelled very nice and was quite familiar.

However, this perfume was popular in Shanghai, so Lin Jieru didn't think much of it.

Huang Qian's situation was different. Lin Jieru wasn't wearing perfume, so Huang Qian genuinely couldn't tell the other person's gender.

But since the other person had already finished conveying the message, Huang Qian could only reach out and touch the other person's skirt before she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly finished typing the Morse code.

Soon, the movie ended and the lights in the theater came on. It was then that Huang Qian and Lin Jieru were surprised to discover that the other person was actually their competitor from the interview they had taken earlier that day!

Of course, this was true for Lin Jieru, but Huang Qian felt that Lin Jieru was just causing trouble. If it were someone else, Huang Qian believed that she would definitely not be hired.

Indeed, one's own excellence needs to be highlighted by one's rivals.

Suppressing her surprise, Lin Jie smiled and nodded at Huang Qian, then got up and walked towards the door.

This meeting was just to confirm each other's identities and get acquainted, so that we wouldn't be strangers to each other online or offline.

After Lin Jieru left, Huang Qian took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out of the movie theater.

Now Huang Qian is wondering if her infiltration of the Special Higher Police is also a different kind of infiltration method?

The thought of infiltrating the Special Higher Police with her superior was thrilling for Huang Qian.

However, Huang Qian felt that the organization would not allow it.

Having both superiors and subordinates in the same department is too dangerous.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Qian returned to her original office.

Michiko Sakai found her immediately:
"Huang Qian, how did it go? Did you succeed?"

Huang Qian nodded with a wry smile:

"It's simpler than I thought. The main problem is that I've met an opponent, and I really don't know how I can lose."

Michiko looked at Huang Qian with some surprise. She hadn't noticed before, but this girl was quite Versailles-like!

"It's good that you succeeded. Remember, you can't come back to the original office without permission. I've already rented a place for you outside. Here's the address. You'll live there from now on."

"I will notify you of any missions. Also, stay close to Zhao Xuan; you can learn a lot from him. Most importantly, the Special Higher Police will almost always involve Zhao Xuan in any mission. If the Special Higher Police has any important missions, you must report to me immediately, if conditions permit."

Huang Qian nodded solemnly.

Zhao Xuan, the biggest traitor in Shanghai, has held the top spot on the list of those targeted for elimination ever since, a position that even Ding Moqun can only look up to.

It's impossible for Huang Qian not to feel pressured being around such a notorious traitor. However, the thought that her superior was also with Zhao Xuan brought her some relief.
"Don't worry, Section Chief. Since I've agreed to your request, I will do as you ask. But if I go to the Special Higher Police, who will contact my fiancé?"

"Of course it's still you, but I'll arrange everything. These are not things you need to worry about. Okay, let's go to your place now. Without orders, you can't come here again. I've prepared all your daily necessities there, so you can just move in."

After saying that, Michiko picked up the suitcase beside her and handed it to Huang Qian:
"Take these things with you. Remember, unless it's an emergency, you absolutely cannot come back to the original organization. If Zhao Xuan discovers your whereabouts, don't say we didn't save you."

Walking on Nanjing Road, Huang Qian had a terrible headache.

Now that I've left the original organization, what about my mission of infiltrating it?
Having left his original organization, how could he possibly obtain the core list of the Youth League from within it?

This was a task that Director Qian solemnly entrusted to her to complete as much as possible.

I've only been in Shanghai for a few days, and my first task has already been unexpectedly shelved.

And then there's the Zhenxingqi Society, which I heard has been beaten to a pulp by the Special Higher Police and doesn't even dare to show its face. That's what worries Huang Qian the most. She's afraid that she's come to Shanghai with such important intelligence to gain Tu Feiyuan's trust, only to end up accomplishing nothing.

On the other side, at 76 Jessfield Road.

Sitting in the chair, Ding Moqun looked at Miao Xue with a somewhat gloomy expression:

"You contacted Zhao Xuan?"

Miao Xue looked at Ding Moqun with feigned surprise:
"Director, how did you find out about this?"

Ding Moqun stared intently at Miao Xue for a while before saying somewhat awkwardly:

"Never mind how I know, how could you contact other departments, especially the Special Higher Police, about something like this!"

"Don't you know that we'll soon be a subordinate department of the Mei Agency?"

"I think your job as section chief is too easy."

Miao Xue looked at Ding Moqun with an indifferent expression:
“The intelligence section has indeed had nothing to do lately, Director. I don’t understand why you are targeting Section Chief Dao so much. Since you have taken action, the only thing I can do is to inform the section chief about this matter.”

"He's not your section chief, and you yourself are the section chief. Also, what are you saying? What do you mean I'm targeting Xiaodao?"

Miao Xue gave a cold smile:
"Director, you said I'm the head of the intelligence section. Do you think I don't even have this much analytical ability?"

"Furthermore, Zhao Xuan will always be my section chief, no matter where he goes, that will not change. If the director feels that I am not suitable to serve as the section chief of the intelligence section, then please find someone more capable!"

When Miao Xue confronted him for the first time, Ding Moqun was so angry he almost died.

This woman is simply unreasonable.

Ding Moqun knew that Zhao Xuan had shown her kindness, but he had given her the position of section chief and taken good care of her. Wasn't he also showing kindness to Miao Xue?
But Miao Xue only had Zhao Xuan in her heart, not herself, the director.

However, Miao Xue is right about one thing: not just anyone can be the head of the intelligence section.

Zhang Sanjin doesn't have that ability.

So, if it were someone else, Ding Moqun really wouldn't know who to replace him with.

Should we let Yi Xincheng take over?

Ding Moqun isn't crazy.

Or let Xie Biran. Well, Ding Moqun admits that currently, no one can replace Miao Xue as the head of the intelligence section of No. 76.

Moreover, Miao Xue only seems to oppose him when it comes to matters concerning Dao Yan.

This made Ding Moqun both love and hate her. He cherished Miao Xue's talent, but resented that Miao Xue had put his orders after Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan.

After taking several deep breaths, Ding Moqun waved his hand:
"Get out. This is a one-time exception. Otherwise, you really shouldn't be the section chief anymore."

Miao Xue nodded, then turned and walked towards the door before suddenly stopping and turning back to look at Ding Moqun:

"Director, I don't know if installing listening devices in subordinates' offices is something that has existed since ancient times or if it's a privilege of the 76th Division, but if the intelligence department's information is leaked as a result, I don't think the responsibility should lie with me."

After saying that, Miao Xue opened the door and left. Ding Moqun was stunned for a moment, and finally laughed out of anger:
"Hehehe, okay, okay!"

At this moment, Miao Xue, who had already left Ding Moqun's office, walked to the stairwell and happened to run into Zhang Sanjin, who was hurrying up the stairs.

Zhang Sanjin grinned at Miao Xue and was about to greet her when Miao Xue swiftly stepped forward and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying to the bottom of the stairs at the corner.

After coughing violently a few times, Zhang Sanjin glared angrily at Miao Xue:

"Miao Xue, what's wrong with you?!"

Miao Xue walked slowly down, her gaze haughty:

"You planted the listening device in my office, didn't you? Be more careful next time. And this is the last time I'm reminding you!"

Zhang Sanjin's pupils constricted as he watched Miao Xue leisurely walk away in her high-heeled boots. He saw that Miao Xue's hand, behind her back, was already gripping a gun, and it was already cocked.

Zhang Sanjin believed that if he had dared to utter a single word of rebuttal, this crazy woman would probably have actually fired a shot!
After resting for a while, Zhang Sanjin rubbed his aching chest and went to Ding Moqun's office.

Just then, Ding Moqun, who was wearing headphones, quickly took them off and patted his ears.

A piercing sound came through my headphones, and then I couldn't hear anything anymore.

Clearly, Miao Xue, who had just returned, had already violently dismantled the bugging device.

"director!"

Ding Moqun looked up at Zhang Sanjin and noticed that Zhang Sanjin didn't even dare to take a deep breath while walking. Ding Moqun asked in confusion:

"what happened?"

Zhang Sanjin stepped forward with a bitter expression:
"I got kicked by that crazy woman Miao Xue."

After saying that, Zhang Sanjin's gaze fell on the headphones on Ding Moqun's desk.

Ding Moqun snorted coldly:
"Outrageous! They really think she's irreplaceable!"

After saying this, Ding Moqun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could it be that Miao Xue made that phone call today just to wait for this moment?
To remove the listening device, he jumped right up to his face?

"Chen Yibo has arrived?"

Pulling himself back to reality, Ding Moqun looked at Zhang Sanjin and asked a question.

Zhang Sanjin nodded quickly:
"They have arrived. Haruko Suzuki is escorting them, and the military police are also escorting them along the way. They should have entered the Chen residence by now."

"Also, I saw Zhao Xuan's car when I came here, it should be here by now."

Ding Moqun's lips twitched. They actually arrived so quickly!
Ding Moqun quickly got up and went to the window. Just as he looked into the yard, he saw Zhao Xuan's car drive in.

The guards at the door didn't even try to stop him. Ding Moqun's face darkened, and he turned to look at Zhang Sanjin, who had walked up to him.

"I remember the person at the door was yours, wasn't he?"

Zhang Sanjin, sweating profusely, replied:

"Director, you haven't forgotten, have you? Zhao Xuan is now a section chief in the Special Higher Police. How could the guards dare to stop him?"

Ding Moqun nodded, his face full of black lines. He had been so angry with Miao Xue today that he had completely forgotten about this matter.

Watching Zhao Xuan get out of the car and walk straight towards the office building, Ding Moqun took a deep breath and returned to his desk to sit down.

Zhang Sanjin rubbed his chest, thinking to himself, "Miao Xue doesn't look strong at all, you could even say she's slender. I didn't expect that kick to be so hard. My chest will probably hurt for days."

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door. Zhang Sanjin, who was already prepared, opened the door, and Zhao Xuan walked in with a smile:

"Uncle, how have you been?"

Ding Moqun forced a smile, but when he saw Zhao Xuan walk to his desk and pull up a chair to sit down, his smile froze.

"Section Chief Zhao, you just took office today, aren't you busy? What brings you here?"

"Uncle is joking. Now that I've become a section chief, of course I have to come and tell you the good news as soon as possible."

Yesterday's events cannot be undone, Ding Moqun sighed softly:
"Alright, stop beating around the bush with me. You're here for Xiaodao, aren't you?"

Zhao Xuan replied with a smile:

"Of course, I also want to tell Ayan this good news. Uncle, Miao Xue called me and said that there is a Kuomintang agent lurking in the telecommunications department, suspected to be Phoenix Tail Orchid?"

The dialysis mode had already been activated. Zhao Xuan came here only to confirm whether Ding Moqun was testing Dao Yan or if he really knew that Phoenix Tail Orchid was lurking in the Telecommunications Department.

So before Ding Moqun could speak, Zhao Xuan continued:
"Of course, with Xie as a witness, Chen Jun's fake Phoenix Tail Orchid is practically confirmed. But, to let the Telecommunications Department investigate itself and then hand this task over to Ayan, Uncle, have you thought about how Ayan will be able to lead the Telecommunications Department after this mission is over?"

Ding Moqun narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them:
"So, you've come to question me?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head:

"Uncle has his reasons for doing this."

"But Yingzuo will be coming to Shanghai soon, right? At this time, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Uncle to do this? Does Uncle really want to be completely sidelined by Yingzuo?"

"With an unruly telecommunications department, Kagezo will have plenty of reasons to replace Ayan. I wonder if the person in charge will still listen to Uncle then?"

Ding Moqun took a deep breath. At the time, he was only considering thoroughly testing Dao Yan once, and hadn't really thought about this issue in depth.

Now that Zhao Xuan has said this, Ding Moqun is indeed hesitant.

In dialysis mode, Zhao Xuan has already discovered what he wants.

The two things I just mentioned are, firstly, that the Phoenix Tail Orchid was infiltrating the Telecommunications Department, and secondly, Xie Biran's testimony.

However, to Zhao Xuan's surprise, neither of these two things was true.

Xie must have been found by Ding Moqun, and the Phoenix Tail Orchid was also fabricated by Ding Moqun.

But by sheer coincidence, the whole thing Ding Moqun orchestrated was actually true!
If it weren't for the dialysis mode, Dao Yan would have been in real danger this time.

It is now known that Ding Moqun was merely testing Dao Yan and had no idea whether the Telecommunications Department had agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau lurking within it.
