Genius Agent

【Ring ring ring】

Just as Huang Chuanming left, Su Yuncheng's phone rang again.

"I am Su Yuncheng..."

"Editor-in-Chief Su, it's me. Thank you so much for your help last time. Do you have some time?"

Su Yuncheng recognized Chen Yansheng's voice. This guy is here again?

"You have time, so tell me what it is," Su Yuncheng said in an unfriendly tone.

"We will be hosting a banquet at Qingxiang Pavilion at noon, and we hope you will do us the honor of attending."

"Okay, I'll come over at noon."

Su Yuncheng hung up the phone after speaking. He needed to agree on a signal before meeting them this time, instead of just calling all the time.

However, they didn't call each other often; this was the second time Chen Yansheng had called him.

Two times is enough; there shouldn't be a third time unless it's an extremely urgent situation.

"Editor-in-chief, I've asked around, and the camera we ordered is only available in Nanjing, and the quantity is probably limited."

Huang Chuanming returned shortly afterward. If he wanted to inquire about the camera, he would need to find someone in the industry, and these people wouldn't be hard to find.

In Shanghai, there is a circle of people who are into cameras, and they are all rich and powerful. Ordinary people can't afford to play this game, because neither cameras nor film are cheap.

They know better than the people in the trading companies where to find good cameras.

"Okay, I understand."

It was almost lunchtime, and Su Yuncheng didn't say much. Actually, it would be best if there were places in Suzhou or Hangzhou, as they are closer.

If Nanjing had it, Su Yuncheng could barely accept it.

Qingxiang Pavilion was located in the French Concession, but it was a bit far from the newspaper office.

Su Yuncheng didn't drive; he simply hailed a rickshaw.

The rickshaw was a bit slow, but he could easily detect anyone following or monitoring him, or anyone with ulterior motives towards him.

"Editor-in-Chief Su, please come in."

When Su Yuncheng arrived, Shen Mozhou was already there, and Chen Yansheng was waiting for him at the restaurant entrance.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Chen, if you need anything in the future, don't call or contact me directly. I'll give you a few signal methods. Send a signal and we'll meet at a designated location."

Upon entering the room, Su Yuncheng didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Okay, no problem."

Shen Mozhou was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded. In fact, he had also had the same idea, but he didn't expect Su Yuncheng to bring it up first.

Su Yuncheng had considered never seeing them again, but he understood that these people were like a stubborn stain; once they had their eyes on him, he couldn't shake them off.

Su Yuncheng's expression softened a bit; Shen Mozhou wasn't just going through the motions, he genuinely agreed.

"Actually, the reason I came to you this time is to ask if you could do a fortune telling for someone on our behalf?"

"people?"

Su Yuncheng's expression was strange. Was she interested in his fortune-telling ability and even wanted to do some divination?

He didn't know any real divination techniques, and he couldn't predict things for them that accurately, but Su Yuncheng had considered this outcome when he first demonstrated this ability.

He has a way to deal with it.

"Who is it?" Su Yuncheng didn't refuse directly, but asked for clarification first.

"Well, last time you helped the section chief..."

Shen Mozhou briefly explained the situation. Chen Yansheng was guarding outside, and the private room next door had been reserved by them. There was no one inside, so there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped on.

Su Yuncheng wasn't worried at all; there was no one who could hide from him and eavesdrop on his conversation.

"Thank you for your help. This Japanese spy is crucial; we must find him."

Shen Mozhou was very polite, and Su Yuncheng finally understood what was going on. He was right; of the six people, one was not in Shanghai.

The remaining four had already been killed. The intelligence section of the Nanjing Special Service Headquarters spent ten days trying to find them but failed. Boss Dai then remembered his fortune-telling ability and asked him to help him find out where they were.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Su Yuncheng shook his head. Shen Mozhou was taken aback. Last time, he was skeptical, but Su Yuncheng had actually identified the Japanese spy for them.

Seeing is believing, so why did he refuse this time?

"Why?" Shen Mozhou asked.

"I'm not as capable as my grandfather. My abilities are limited. I can only count one thing or one person at a time."

Su Yuncheng shook his head and said, "How could he possibly know where someone is?"

Last time, it was because he discovered it in advance and deliberately led them there.

He's completely in the dark now, there's no way he could figure it out.

Shen Mozhou was taken aback. One person, one thing, Su Yuncheng can only be counted once?

This might not be impossible. Some highly skilled diviners do indeed have various limitations, such as the number of times they can use their abilities.

"Can't we make an exception?" Shen Mozhou didn't give up; this was a task given to him by the section chief.

"If an exception is made, the result will be inaccurate and the calculation will be meaningless."

Su Yuncheng shook his head directly. He had already prepared his reasons. It was good that Shen Mozhou asked today, so as not to bother him with such matters all the time.

Besides this, Su Yuncheng had other reasons.

For example, he might have recently eaten something he shouldn't have, or his calculations might have been inaccurate. In short, he can come up with plenty of excuses if he wants to.

It was someone else who contacted him, not the other way around.

He said his calculations are inaccurate, but if you insist on having them done, you can't blame him if they're wrong.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Shen Mozhou was a little disappointed, but he didn't insist. He would wait until he reported to his superior before discussing anything further.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Since everyone was already there, Su Yuncheng decided to eat something before leaving. It was noon, and he hadn't drunk any alcohol.

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Yuncheng returned directly to the newspaper office.

Shen Mozhou returned to his residence and immediately sent a telegram to Nanjing.

During the afternoon working hours, Secretary Qi brought a telegram to the clerk's office.

"Can a person only do one thing once?"

The clerk's eyes widened. Su Yuncheng had this restriction on him? Did that mean he couldn't calculate for himself anymore?

Su Yuncheng's calculations were so accurate that he planned to consult Su Yuncheng more often in the future.

"Qi Wu, do you think he's deliberately avoiding the calculation?"

The director looked at Secretary Qi, thought for a moment, and Secretary Qi said in a low voice, "Su Yuncheng is only in his early twenties. It's possible that his abilities are limited, but he will grow eventually and may be able to break through his limitations in the future."

Secretary Qi understood what the director meant. Regardless of whether Su Yuncheng did it on purpose or not, he couldn't go along with what the director said now.

Su Yuncheng's fortune-telling ability is only mentioned once per person, and he hasn't had his fortune told by Su Yuncheng yet.

Last time, Su Yuncheng's prediction was so accurate that he had the same idea in mind. Now that he knows there are limitations, he will ask Su Yuncheng to make a prediction again at a crucial moment.

"Send a telegram to Shen Mozhou and ask him to find a way to invite Su Yuncheng to Nanjing. I'll ask him personally."

After thinking for a while, the director gave another order, which surprised Secretary Qi. He invited Su Yuncheng again.

The previous chairman had invited him once, but Su Yuncheng declined because Mutō Tomohō was coming and Su Yuncheng really didn't have time.

Now that Muto Tomohiro has left, let's see what Su Yuncheng has to say this time.

"Yes, Chief."

Secretary Qi went to the telecommunications department; his job was only to relay messages, and whether or not people came was none of his concern.

Inside the office, the section chief frowned. Su Yuncheng hadn't agreed to help him find the person's location; the intelligence department would have to be responsible for locating him next.

Qu Ning is usually quite shrewd and capable, so why is it so difficult for him to find a Japanese spy?

As long as he is in Nanjing, we will search high and low to find him. He is still waiting to report to the old man. How can he report if he has not achieved results?
