Chapter 1384 Codename "Little Boy"

The next morning, Suning woke up feeling refreshed.

Seeing the few early risers outside, Suning knew that his life in the Republic of China had begun. He simply washed up, changed into clean clothes and went to work.

The stupid system didn't go too far this time. When it blocked Suning's space world, it still left some clothes and daily necessities for Suning.

In fact, the Shenbao Press is located in the Shanghai International Settlement, and it is a six-story building. This will be my workplace from now on.

A man in a long gown and glasses looked at Su Ning expressionlessly, "Your name is Su Ning?"

"Editor Chu, I'm Su Ning, the new English translator for our newspaper." People of this generation are generally precocious, and Su Ning couldn't judge the other person's specific age.

Then Editor Chu said in a slightly more tactful tone, "Well, I read the newspaper you translated yesterday. Your English translation is indeed very good."

"Editor Chu, as long as you are satisfied."

Editor Chu casually took out some English newspapers and handed them to Su Ning. The important information would be serialized in the report. "Well, these are the Times from a few days ago. Your next job is to translate all the content."

"Okay! Editor Chu."

These English newspapers were really nothing in his hands, and translating them was really easy. Then Suning started his life in the Republic of China.

Although he was proficient in many languages including German, Japanese, French and Russian, the Shenbao Office did not seem to care too much about this issue, so Suning did not bother to emphasize it.

In the following period of time, Suning got familiar with the life in this copy world while working peacefully in the Shenbao newspaper.

As for the weird Guan Haipeng, he did not appear again, but Suning realized that someone had been secretly observing him. After thinking about it, he realized that only the strange Guan Haipeng had such a motive.

At this time, Suning became curious about Guan Haipeng's origin and purpose. After all, his current personality was just an ordinary person who was penniless. If he wanted to find out the other party's purpose, he could only wait for Guan Haipeng to appear again.

Sure enough, when Suning paid out the first month's salary, Guan Haipeng, with a cunning face, appeared in front of Suning again, "Suning, have you paid your salary?"

"Uncle Guan, here is your forty yuan. I was just worrying about how to notify you." Suning took out forty yuan and handed it to Guan Haipeng.

Guan Haipeng couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised after receiving the forty yuan. He had waited for a month and the harvest season had finally arrived. "Haha, great! I heard you're doing very well at Shenbao Library?"

"Not bad! Just some very simple translation work."

"That's great! Suning, I'm a little busy, I wonder if you can help me?"

Su Ning suddenly realized that the most critical moment had arrived. "Huh? Uncle Guan, you are my great benefactor. If it weren't for you, I might still be wandering around the Bund. Just tell me what you need."

Guan Haipeng took out a photo and handed it to Su Ning, explaining, "I have a grudge against this person! I want you to help me find a way to secretly track him and find out his daily travel routes and habits."

After taking the photo, Su Ning looked at Guan Haipeng puzzledly and asked, "Uncle Guan, how will you deal with this enemy in the end?"

"You don't need to get involved in this matter. You just need to help me track him down. It would be best if there is a result within three days. After that, I will pay you fifty dollars."

"Okay! But forget about the reward. I've never done anything like this before, and I'm afraid it might delay your business, Uncle Guan."

"It doesn't matter! Just try to be careful."

"..."

Then Su Ning did not ask Guan Haipeng any more questions, because he had already roughly guessed Guan Haipeng's identity. He must be an agent serving a certain intelligence organization.

As for which force this intelligence organization belongs to, it is impossible for Su Ning to figure it out without his X-ray vision. However, since he has been targeted by Guan Haipeng, sooner or later Guan Haipeng will tell him everything.

Although the system has domineeringly blocked all of his cultivation, his martial arts are still very superb, and it is still very easy for him to do the flying over the eaves and walking on the walls in martial arts novels.

Therefore, Su Ning, who was secretly tracking and investigating the target person, easily found out the other party's true identity. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Liu Ke, the second-class secretary of the traitor Wang.

The security around Liu Ke is very strict. The guards are either police officers from the Shanghai Police Department or agents from the Special High Technology Department of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs. It can be seen that this second-class secretary Liu Ke definitely knows a lot of secrets.

At this time, the traitor Wang had already fled to Hanoi with his wife Chen and those "like-minded" confidants. According to intelligence, it was known that the traitor Wang was negotiating with the Japanese at this time.

Of course, such national affairs do not require a small figure like himself to interfere, and Su Ning has already guessed that Guan Haipeng might be a member of the Military Control Commission. The reason why he was asked to investigate the second-class secretary Liu Ke was that the Military Control Commission must want to arrest or assassinate Liu Ke.

Two days later, Suning handed the detailed information to Guan Haipeng. "Uncle Guan, thank you for fulfilling your mission! This is the specific information about the person you asked me to investigate. He will be at the Ciro's Ballroom on Jing'an Temple Road the day after tomorrow."

"Suning, I guess you already know the other party's identity?" Looking at the detailed information in his hand, Guan Haipeng was surprised.

"..."

"Suning, I won't hide it from you now. I'm the leader of the Third Intelligence Group of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, and I'd like to recruit you as a peripheral member of our Shanghai Station."

"Uncle Guan, I'm a little curious why you chose me?"

"Because you are a rare language talent, we at the Military Control Commission can help arrange for you to serve as an interpreter for the Japanese."

"Although I don't know how to be a secret agent, I know there's absolutely no chance of survival. Uncle Guan, how can you guarantee that I won't be betrayed?"

Guan Haipeng never dreamed that Su Ning would ask such a difficult question, "This... We, the members of the Military Control Commission, are all soldiers with faith. Naturally, we would not do anything to betray our comrades."

"Faith? The Japanese torture is no joke. Uncle Guan, if you are caught by the Japanese one day, you may be the first one to sell me to the Japanese." Suning was a little dissatisfied after hearing Guan Haipeng's explanation. As an agent, you have to be prepared to be abandoned at any time.

"Huh? Suning, am I really that unbearable in your heart?"

"I don't like to entrust my future to others, let alone your beliefs and morals."

At this moment, Guan Haipeng thought that Su Ning wanted to reject the Military Control Commission's recruitment, and then he looked at Su Ning in front of him with a threatening face, "Humph! Do you think you still have the right to refuse?"

"Uncle Guan, can I always make a condition?"

"Tell me."

"I'm not a professional military intelligence agent like you guys. I can't possibly complete a mission that's too complex or too demanding. Don't expect me to gather much useful intelligence."

"Understood! Our intelligence team will arrange intensive training for you. Although it won't be as good as those of real professional agents, it will definitely enable you to have the ability to protect yourself."

"Hmm? Uncle Guan, as a peripheral staff member of your Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, I wonder if the activity funding is that much?"

"Hmph! Don't worry! The welfare benefits for Military Control Commission personnel are still very good."

Then Suning was taken to a safe house by Guan Haipeng, where he underwent a series of tedious and simplified training. In addition, Suning's memory was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so his learning speed far exceeded the expectations of Guan Haipeng and Zhao Lina.

Zhao Lina intentionally or unintentionally showed off her impressive figure to Su Ning, but Su Ning next to her was like an old monk in meditation. "Su Ning, I didn't expect you to learn things so quickly."

"Sister Na, these are mostly very simple things. You don't have to understand the specific principles, but you just need to learn how to use them."

"But I still feel that you were born to do this job. I believe you will soon become an official member of the Military Control Commission."

"Then it's your good wishes, Sister Tona."

As an official female agent of the Military Control Commission, Zhao Lina naturally taught Suning how to become a qualified agent, as well as how to use the radio and code book.

Of course, it was inevitable that Suning would be taken out of the city to the mountains to practice shooting. Although these things were child's play in Suning's eyes, he had to pretend to be at a decent level. As Suning was about to finish the intensive training, Guan Haipeng asked him a question, "Suning, what code name do you want?"

"Can I come up with my own code name?" At this moment, Suning's eyes lit up.

"Of course! This is our right as military intelligence officers."

After thinking about it, Suning chose the most powerful code name for himself, "Uncle Guan, from now on I will call you "Little Boy"."

"Little boy? Why does this name sound so strange?" Guan Haipeng, who didn't understand the meaning of "little boy", was a little confused.

"No wonder! This name will be the nightmare of the Japs from now on."

"Alright! As long as you're happy, it's fine. Also, make sure you remember the location of the dead mailbox, and the emergency contact code must not be wrong."

"clear."

Guan Haipeng then took out another hundred French francs and handed them to Su Ning. "Also, the traitor Liu Ke has been successfully killed by our personnel. This is a hundred French francs reward from the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station."

"Thank you! So what's my next mission?"

"Continue to wait in the Shenbao Press until the right opportunity arises, and then I'll arrange for you to be the Japanese translator."

"Okay! I understand."

Then Suning finished the intensive training by the Military Control Commission personnel, and left the safe house in the French Concession alone. What was about to greet him was a bloody storm.

After Suning left the safe house, Guan Haipeng looked at Zhao Lina and asked, "Lina, what do you think of this 'little boy'?"

"It's so-so! Without systematic training, it's difficult to get important information." At this time, Zhao Lina's face changed and she curled her lips and said.

"Haha, Lina, isn't your judgment a bit too hasty? The investigation into the traitor Liu Ke was very detailed. Perhaps even experienced agents can't do such meticulous work."

"Team Leader, I admit that the 'little boy' is indeed very careful, but it's hard to stand out in Shanghai, where there are all kinds of people."

"Then let's wait and see!"

In fact, what Zhao Lina was most unhappy about with Suning was that he ignored her advances. There were several times when she had taken the initiative to flirt with Suning, but she did not elicit even the slightest response from Suning.

Such things really hit Zhao Lina's self-confidence. She even suspected that Suning had no interest in women, or that he was just the last remaining Liu Xiahui who could remain calm even when a woman sat on his lap.

【ding dong】

[As a qualified agent, how can you have only one identity? 】

"Why? What do you want to do?"

The system has detected a change in the host's occupation, and is providing a new identity for the host: Fujiwara Takumi, a native of Osaka, Japan, with no parents or immediate family. He came to Shanghai with the Japanese pioneer group in 1938.

"Little devil? Can this identity withstand inspection?"

[Of course! All identity information and details will be provided to the host.]

"Fuck! You're making me run wild on the agent's path!"

Then a new identity certificate appeared in Suning's hand, and he went straight to the Japanese concession. With this Japanese identity, Suning was not stopped at all.

It was quite strange when I first came to Suning in the Japanese Concession. It was almost the same as the Tokyo Street in Suzhou in later generations, except that the devils here were real devils, not the fake devils in the Tokyo Street in Suzhou.

Suning walked directly to the door of an izakaya and asked the woman in kimono at the door in fluent Japanese, "Excuse me, are you hiring?"

"Sir, we are recruiting a Japanese chef. I wonder if you are a chef?" The woman in kimono looked at Su Ning puzzledly and explained.

"Yes! I was a chef in Osaka, Japan, and I came to Shanghai looking for a chef job."

"Sir, please wait a moment! I'll go call our boss, Mr. Kuroki Jiro."

Soon, the Japanese kimono-clad female devil walked into the izakaya and called out to a fat Japanese old man, "Are you applying for the position of chef?"

"Yes! My name is Fujiwara Takumi, from Osaka, and this is my ID." At this time, Suning took out his ID and handed it to Kuroki Jiro in front of him.

"Hey! I need you to go to the kitchen to test the food, okay?"

"can."

Then Suning followed the boss Jiro Kuroki into the kitchen of the izakaya, and skillfully made a piece of sushi according to Jiro Kuroki's requirements, as well as other dishes that the Japanese devils liked to eat the most.

In fact, after seeing Suning's smooth operation, the izakaya owner couldn't help but be dazzled. After tasting the Japanese food made by Suning, Kuroki Jiro immediately widened his eyes in amazement.

Kuroki Jiro gave Su Ning a thumbs-up with a look of surprise on his face. "Wow! Fujiwara-kun, your cooking skills are really good! You're definitely at the level of a state banquet master."

"Boss, you're too kind." Suning was naturally able to act out the hypocrisy of the Japanese.

"Fujiwara-kun, the chef's salary is 600 yen per month, including food and lodging. I wonder when you can start work?"

"Thank you, boss! I still need a week to take care of some personal matters."

However, Kuroki Jiro shook his head in dissatisfaction. It was obvious that Suning's cooking skills had completely conquered his appetite. "A week is too long! How about three days?"

"This..." Suning really didn't expect that Kuroki Jiro would be so anxious.

"Fujiwara-kun, you see, my izakaya is doing very well. I really need a master like you to come and take charge."

"Okay! I'll try to report to the izakaya in three days."

"Hey! Fujiwara-kun, I'm so happy today. How about we sit down and have a glass of sake from home?"

"Yes! Boss."

"Fujiwara-kun, please make some delicious food. I'll call and introduce you to some good friends."

"Ok."

At this moment, Suning naturally wanted to curse in his heart. This old bitch obviously liked his cooking skills and was eager to show off to his friends.

Then Suning used his new identity to work as a Japanese chef. The main reason was that he had no trust in the Military Control Commission at all, so arranging a secret identity in advance was also a way to protect himself.

If something really happens to the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station and Guan Haipeng one day, the identity of this Japanese chef will be his best protection.

Moreover, Suning was not planning to tell Guan Haipeng about his identity, because even if he did, Guan Haipeng and the Military Control Commission would question him.
