Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for many.

Chen Lanfeng, who enjoyed the privilege of being chauffeured around by a private driver in the entourage, returned home still in a state of excitement, tension, and anxiety.

Can't sleep, can't sleep at all.

This day was so magical.

Early in the morning, Xu Enzeng, the director of the Party Affairs Investigation Department (now the military hates the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and later the military hates and fears the Military Intelligence Bureau), personally came to the door. By order of the Chairman, they went to the Shimonoseki Wharf to welcome Japanese Navy Rear Admiral Aoki Takashi.

It's true that I attended the Japanese Army Officer Academy, but I did it to find my sister! I'm Taiwanese, a native Taiwanese, and I hate Japanese people the most, especially Japanese aristocratic soldiers.

Years ago at the beach, I was five years old and carrying my one-year-old sister on my back. When the tide came in, I ran in such a hurry that I lost my sister.

As he grew older, he persisted in visiting and searching for his sister, investigating her whereabouts. There were rumors that his sister had not died and had been adopted by a powerful Japanese man.

Chen Lanfeng initially didn't believe these rumors. But soon, the Japanese Governor-General's Office in Yilan County issued a new policy, and he inexplicably gained the opportunity to study in the preparatory class of the Japanese Army Academy.

During his years of military training, he would take leave whenever he had free time to go out and explore the streets and alleys of Tokyo and Kyoto, and even the surrounding villages.

So my relationships with my classmates were pretty distant back then, and I didn't have time to talk to them. I don't even remember who Aoki Qiao is.

When he returned to China and joined the Kuomintang, he had already given up looking for his sister.

At the dock, I saw Aoki Takashi. Searching my memory, I vaguely recognized him. Oh, that guy, he seems to have some connections. He was someone I didn't interact with much at the Army Academy. How did he suddenly become a major general? And even transferred to the navy?

The key point is, we're not even that close. You're a major general, a fleet commander, why are you sticking so close to a nobody like me?

Why hug if you won't shake hands!
Don't mess with me! By doing this, I've been targeted by both the Party Investigation Department and the Special Service Department.

Don't give them a friendly look; get rid of them as soon as possible.

But things didn't go as planned. The colder I was, the more he seemed to like it, and he even wanted me to be his driver? What the heck! I really don't know him at all!
Then, they actually tried to drag me into Jinling Girls' School, and inexplicably took me to the fourth floor of the teaching building. What were they thinking?
And so mysteriously, saying, "You'll understand in a moment."

The door opened, and a girl walked in. Wow, this girl is so pretty! Wait a minute!
Those eyes and eyebrows! This is my younger sister!
This is the sister I've been searching for for 20 years!

"Little sister? ~~"

"Brother~~"

Damn, am I dreaming? Hold on tight, don't run away! It's real!

"Little sister! It's all my fault, I lost you back then!"

"Brother~, you really are my brother!"

"Little sister, how did you know me?"

"Brother, it's a long story. Qingxuan said there are spies watching downstairs, and he only gave us five minutes to recognize each other. He'll arrange the rest of the time."

"He's Japanese, and he knew your identity, yet he still helped you find your brother?"

"Brother, it's not what you think. He's one of us. Just listen to his instructions from now on. We'll talk in detail once we're in a safe place."

Five minutes passed quickly, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Alright, brother-in-law, calm down, wipe your eyes, I'll try to get you transferred later, then we can talk in detail."

"Don't talk about sensitive topics when you get in the car. It's a vehicle from the Party Affairs Investigation Department; there are many government offices there."

He called me brother-in-law, which means he already knew my identity. It seems he knew my identity when Zhao Shiyu came to find me that year!

This guy is really good at enduring things.

But Chen Lifu is forcing me to go undercover, to infiltrate his inner circle as a spy. If I don't agree, my wife and son will be in danger. I've found my sister…

She even brought her brother-in-law along…

Fate has been kind to me!
In office number 53, Ji'e Lane, Jinling, Dai Chunfeng had a gloomy face and couldn't sleep.

After the banquet, Lao Dai didn't go home, but went straight back here and continued to stare blankly at the files in front of him.

I can't understand Aoki's trajectory.

After graduation, he first joined the Kwantung Army, and was soon transferred from the Kwantung Army to Shanghai, where he was humiliated by his own navy? He sent a telegram in plain text, requesting to return home to mediate?

After that, he suddenly became a member of the Navy? Is that for real?
Later, he clashed with the Kwantung Army, fought against Doi Madoka, and became an irreconcilable enemy of the old Japanese devil Doi Madoka.

In Shanghai, they rescued Yang Dengying, who was suspected of being a communist sympathizer, from Lao Xu? They formed a team in North China to directly confront the Doihara Organization? Is this even possible?
What kind of tactic is this?

The latest news is that at a meeting of the Army General Staff, the expansion plan of the Kwantung Army was blocked? And Kenji Doihara's promotion to major general was rejected!

Blocking someone's promotion is a grudge that's worse than killing someone's parents or blocking their path to wealth.

I can't watch anymore, it's giving me a headache.

The next morning, Chen Jiehua and Meixu woke up naturally, had breakfast with their senior and his wife, chatted for a while about everyday things, and then said their reluctant goodbyes.

Following Chen Jiehua's instructions, the driver in the attendant's office took the two directly to No. 53, Chicken and Goose Lane.

Dai Chunfeng slept directly in his office last night. When he saw the car from the entourage arrive this morning, he hurried downstairs to greet it.

The servant parked the car, and a junior intelligence chief who had just entered the room was very perceptive. He took the initiative to jog forward and open the car door.

After Chen Jiehua got out of the car, he helped Fujiwara Mio out of the car, said goodbye to the driver, and then let the driver go back.

This is the famous No. 53 Chicken and Goose Lane. Chen Jiehua stood in the courtyard, motionless, looking up and observing, silently sighing in his heart.

"Sirs, what brings you here?" The head of the secret service, who opened the door, saw a beautiful woman getting out of the car and his eyes lit up as he asked.

"I'm looking for Mr. Dai Chunfeng."

"Perfect timing, Deputy Director Dai is here."

"Welcome General Aoki and his wife to visit this humble office building."

Although I was reluctant, their family had already arrived, and they were brought by the Executive Office's car, which meant that the Chairman had tacitly approved it. I had no choice but to receive them, and I had to treat them well.

"Brother Chunfeng, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, just call me Qingxuan."

"Haha, then Chunfeng will accept without hesitation. Brother Qingxuan, Miss Meixu, please."

"That's excellent, Brother Chunfeng, please. How should I address this brother?"

"Reporting to your superior, this humble servant is Mao Wanli."

"Brother Qingxuan, this is a fellow villager of Chunfeng, a younger brother who was just recruited this year."

"Oh, it seems that Brother Chunfeng, like Qingxuan, also likes to use fellow townsmen and classmates, haha!"

"Haha, that's true. People from the same hometown and classmates feel close to each other and can trust each other."

"Look, there's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'Great minds think alike,' hahaha."

With that one sentence, Chen Jiehua essentially defined his previous personnel selection habits in front of Lao Dai: Zhao Yiyue and Chen Lanfeng are both classmates. I think I've got the right people, right?
Look at yourself, just like your Chiang Kai-shek, you like to use the same logic as fellow townsmen. (End of Chapter)
