You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 370 Recruitment
Originally, Ding Moqun was very angry that Miao Xue had crippled the telecommunications department this time, but now, thinking about it carefully, he was relieved that Miao Xue had cut off her own escape route.

Afterwards, Xie Biran kept Miao Xue in check. Yingzuo saw this and could only think that Xie Biran was the one in charge of the 76th Intelligence Division, and Miao Xue was just a useless pawn.

Therefore, with Yingzuo's perspective, Ding Moqun can effectively win over Miao Xue, both limiting her development and fully utilizing her talents.

Ding Moqun never took the fact that the telecommunications department didn't associate with Miao Xue seriously, because he planned to mold Miao Xue into someone who would only obey his orders.

Just like Zhang Sanjin!
As the old saying goes, "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise," and Ding Moqun's lips curled up slightly at this thought.

At this moment, Miao Xue, who had already finished get off work, drove away with Yang Huamei.

Yang Huamei, who had been working a long day, had already switched shifts with Dr. Ma.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Huamei looked at Miao Xue with great curiosity and asked:

"Miaomiao, what exactly happened today? Judging from the situation, you've crippled the telecommunications department! Miaomiao, you're not thinking of taking down 76 all by yourself, are you?"

Miao Xue glanced at Yang Huamei speechlessly:
"If Agent 76 were so easy to eradicate, what would be the point of us remaining undercover?"

"Today I was just using Ding Moqun's orders to conduct a preliminary investigation of the 76th Division."

"That Wang Yiya, she's one of ours, right?"

Yang Huamei's eyes widened. She only found out that Wang Yiya was one of their own by chance when she saw her at Secretary Sun's place.

But she definitely didn't tell Miao Xue.

"Don't be surprised. If I couldn't even see that, I would have been exposed long ago."

"By the way, go and see Secretary Sun. Tell him that Ding Moqun's probing of Wang Yiya and Dao Yan is over. And I'm now certain that all the information Ding Moqun released before was completely fabricated. He just wanted to stir up trouble and see if he could actually catch them red-handed."

"So don't worry, Secretary Sun, Wang Yiya's environment for going undercover has become much better. It's just that on my side, I'll either be given important responsibilities by Ding Moqun or be sidelined."

"Even if I am given an important position, Ding Moqun will definitely set up a deputy section chief to check and balance me, and if I'm not mistaken, that deputy section chief will most likely be that traitor."

Yang Huamei parted her red lips slightly, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, and asked:

"Xie Biran?"

“That’s right. There’s another reason you went to see Secretary Sun this time. During this thorough investigation, I discovered that there’s likely a person named Ding Moqun lurking within our ranks. This guy is very deeply embedded, but his position shouldn’t be high.”

"Based on the information I've reviewed, this person has never passed on any intelligence to Ding Moqun. Although I don't know why, we should still be careful."

Yang Huamei trusted Miao Xue's words completely.

However, Miao Xue didn't speak carelessly. Taking advantage of the mission to investigate the phoenix tail orchid, Miao Xue consulted a lot of information in the archives.

When she was working with Zhao Xuan, Miao Xue learned how to perform cross-analysis of intelligence, both vertically and horizontally, and thus obtained information that Ding Moqun was a spy lurking within the underground Communist Party in Shanghai.

“I understand. With just this much information, even if we knew such a person existed, we probably wouldn’t be able to find him.”

The car drove to the vicinity of Hankou Road. After Miao Xue checked the location, she looked at Yang Huamei:

His codename is Hunter!

"A hunter?!"

In a secret room behind the Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road in Shanghai.

Wang Shuyu looked at Sun Jianzhong with some curiosity when she saw him return.

After sitting down, Sun Jianzhong sighed with a very grim expression:

"Ugh"

"Uncle Sun, Chen Yibo?"

Sun Jianzhong shook his head:

"It didn't succeed. The assassination could have been successful, but at the crucial moment, Zhao Xuan suddenly stepped forward and completely took control of the chaotic situation in just two minutes, causing them to miss the best opportunity for the assassination."

"It seems that Zhao Xuan must be killed!"

Upon hearing Wang Shuyu's words, Sun Jianzhong could only manage a wry smile.

He also wanted to eliminate this major traitor, but he had no chance!

Looking at Sun Jianzhong's expression, a glint flashed in Wang Shuyu's eyes:

"Uncle Sun, can we contact Chen Guang and ask him to find a way to get rid of Zhao Xuan?"

Sun Jianzhong's lips twitched, and he looked helplessly at Wang Shuyu, saying:
"Shuyu, even if we get in touch with Chenguang, the organization will absolutely not allow Chenguang to do that."

“Zhao Xuan’s security is too strong. Ever since he became the head of the intelligence advisory section yesterday, I’ve had people investigate him. He’s always surrounded by three skilled bodyguards, and all the people in the intelligence advisory section are Bushido masters in Japan.”

"Even if Chen Guang agrees, once Zhao Xuan is eliminated, Chen Guang's identity will most likely be exposed, which would be a huge loss for the organization."

Wang Shuyu sighed. She had only said it casually, and she knew that the price to pay for assassinating Zhao Xuan would be too high.

Based on the current investigation results, Zhao Xuan's security forces are even stronger than those of Lan Zehuizi.

dong dong~
A knock sounded at the door. Sun Jianzhong glanced at his watch in surprise. At this hour, only Piaoxue would come over.

Wang Shuyu also sensed that Yang Huamei had arrived. When Sun Jianzhong opened the door, Yang Huamei did indeed walk in.

"Uncle Sun, Shuyu."

After greeting the two, Yang Huamei sat down at the wooden table, put down the newspaper she had bought on the way, and then recounted what Miao Xue had told her.

After hearing Yang Huamei's words, Wang Shuyu's eyes lit up:
"Comrade Lidong is no ordinary person; she has managed to turn a desperate situation into a life-or-death one."

"She single-handedly destroyed the telecommunications department. The only person who can compare with her in this achievement is Comrade Chenguang."

Sun Jianzhong also praised him generously, saying:
"Yes, who would have thought that she, who had such a big fight with her older sister and inherited the code name Lidong, would grow into such an outstanding comrade."

"But, is it really okay for Snow and Winter to be like this? Isn't she afraid of being exposed?"

"It's one thing to cripple the 76th Telecommunications Division, but she actually managed to obtain such important intelligence from the 76th Archives!"

From Yang Huamei's account, Wang Shuyu and Sun Jianzhong both understood one thing.

A pawn planted within their ranks, yet not a single piece of intelligence was ever transmitted.

And its code name is "Hunter".

This code name alone makes him seem like more than just a simple spy.

Based on this analysis, either the hunter's level is too low to obtain important intelligence.

Or perhaps Ding Moqun is planning to deliver a fatal blow to them at a crucial moment!
Therefore, in either case, the hunter must be found as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Uncle Sun, Lidong knows what he's doing."

“I asked her about this too. She said she derived this intelligence through some kind of big data analysis, and it seems that she learned this method from Zhao Xuan when Li Dong was with him.” Wang Shuyu already felt that Zhao Xuan was a great threat, and after hearing Yang Huamei’s words, she felt even more strongly that if she didn’t deal with Zhao Xuan, there would be big trouble in the future.

This was the first time she had ever heard of big data analytics.

Although they occasionally use such methods, they have never summarized or generalized them, nor do they use the concept of big data.

Ironically, this theory was systematized by a major traitor.

This raises the level of threat Zhao Xuan poses to another level.

"The intelligence derived from big data analysis is generally obtained by finding patterns and overlaps in scattered intelligence, thereby obtaining the desired intelligence."

"Therefore, given that Li Dong only consulted some materials in the archives, it was impossible for Ding Moqun to suspect her. Because, even Ding Moqun himself probably didn't know that those materials could actually contain clues about the hunter and that he could put those clues together."

Hearing Yang Huamei say this, Wang Shuyu and Sun Jianzhong felt relieved.

"It seems that Comrade Bai Cha is safe for the time being."

“Comrade Migratory Bird has been forced to leave, so Bai Cha can’t afford to have any more problems. Of course, you and Li Dong also need to be careful. This time, Ding Moqun was testing Dao Yan and Comrade Bai Cha. What if one day Ding Moqun tests Li Dong, or even you?”

Yang Huamei looked at Sun Jianzhong with a face full of black lines. Couldn't he wish her a little better?
"Okay, Uncle Sun, I will pay attention, and I will also remind Lidong."

After finishing their discussion, Sun Jianzhong invited Yang Huamei to stay for dinner.

Yang Huamei didn't refuse. She hadn't been here for a long time, and she also wanted to chat with Wang Shuyu.

However, Wang Shuyu soon noticed the newspaper that Yang Huamei had brought:
"Snowflakes, didn't you buy today's morning paper?"

Yang Huamei shook her head in confusion:

"Yes, I bought it. I check it every day."

Wang Shuyu pointed to the newspaper that Yang Huamei had placed on the table:

"Then why did you bring the newspaper?"

Yang Huamei suddenly realized, picked up the newspaper and smiled:

"It seems like the newspaper office is rushing to distribute these. I heard a newsboy selling them on the street and bought a copy, but I haven't had a chance to read them yet."

Wang Shuyu's heart skipped a beat:
"Can you show it to me?"

As soon as Wang Shuyu unfolded the newspaper handed to her by Yang Huamei, her eyes widened in surprise.

Noticing the change in Wang Shuyu's expression, Sun Jianzhong and Yang Huamei became curious.

"Shuyu, what's wrong?"

Wang Shuyu looked at the contents of the newspaper in disbelief, and when she heard the question, she looked up at Sun Jianzhong and said:

"Uncle Sun, was Song Shiyun not present at Zhizhen Garden today?"

As she spoke, Wang Shuyu spread the newspaper on the table, pointed to a black and white photograph on it, and continued:

"The comrades in the concession reported back that he was indeed not present; the photo above is of Kagezo!"

Sun Jianzhong stood up abruptly, grabbed the newspaper, and stared intently at it.

A series of explosions have left three dead and two injured!
Considering the timing of the explosion and the time when Zhizhen Garden closed, and the fact that Song Shiyun, the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, was not at Zhizhen Garden, Wang Shuyu figured out something was amiss.

"Uncle Sun, since Yingzuo appeared in the French Concession, and at the Cathay Hotel, do you think Chen Yibo might also be there?"

Sun Jianzhong looked at the scene of three dead and three injured, paused for a moment, and nodded slightly:
"Shuyu, do you mean that Chen Yibo from Zhizhen Garden is a fake?"

Wang Shuyu shook her head and then nodded:

"I don't know, I'm not sure."

"However, something unusual must be going on."

Yang Huamei sat to the side listening to the conversation between the two, wondering to herself, could it be that Chen Yibo was really killed in the bombing?
"This matter needs to be confirmed as soon as possible."

As soon as Sun Jianzhong finished speaking, Wang Shuyu sighed:

"Ugh."

"Uncle Sun, the time when the party ended at Zhizhen Garden was not much different from the time of the explosion. So many people in Zhizhen Garden did not realize that Chen Yibo was an imposter, not even his secretary noticed anything wrong."

"But at this crucial moment, Chen Yibo announced the end of the event. In other words, regardless of whether Chen Yibo actually went to the Cathay Hotel or was killed in the bombing, he is still alive and cannot die!"

Sun Jianzhong and Yang Huamei understood what Wang Shuyu meant.

Yes!

Regardless of whether the speculation is true or not, a convincing double would surely be needed after Chen Yibo's death. In order to stabilize the situation, the Japanese and the Wang Jingwei regime would compromise, and the fake Chen Yibo would become the real one.

Furthermore, they have no evidence to prove that Chen Yibo was actually killed in the bombing.

In other words, regardless of whether Chen Yibo is dead or not, he must now be considered alive, unless the stand-in is also killed.

After calming herself down, Wang Shuyu said with a bitter smile:
"If it's really as we guessed, then we should thank Zhao Xuan. If it weren't for Zhao Xuan stopping Zhizhen Garden's anti-traitor operation, our people would have sacrificed themselves in vain."

"Moreover, if something goes wrong at Zhizhen Garden, the outcome at Huamao Hotel might be different."

Everything is interconnected, and both Sun Jianzhong and Yang Huamei understood this principle.

Sun Jianzhong made the final decision, saying:
"No matter what, we need to determine first whether Chen Yibo was among the three people killed in the bombing."

"I'll handle this matter. As for Chen Yibo from Zhizhen Garden, if he's a fake..."

Wang Shuyu smiled dismissively:
"If he's a fake, then dealing with him later will be too easy."

"A person who has been acting as someone else's stand-in for many years and living an uncertain life suddenly finds one day that he has actually become that person as he has been playing the role."

"Having mastered everything about that person and enjoyed his life, it's not hard to guess what this stand-in would do."

"In short, if Chen Yibo of Zhizhen Garden is a fake, it's only a matter of time before we get rid of him. This process won't take long; he'll be dead in ten days to half a month."

Sun Jianzhong also strongly agreed with Wang Shuyu's point of view, and Yang Huamei thought about it carefully and also felt that it made a lot of sense.

I never expected that Wang Shuyu could analyze so many issues from the newspaper I brought in such a short time.

Because of this, Yang Huamei couldn't understand how the comrades who were infiltrating the second line were exposed.
With a brain like Wang Shuyu still exposed, Yang Huamei doesn't know what to say. Are all the second-tier people this incompetent, except for Wang Shuyu?
The headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the mountain city.

Inside the Director's office.

Shen Xing looked at the newly translated telegram with great excitement.
