Genius Agent

"The buyers are just ordinary Chinese people."

Seeing that Su Yuncheng had given in, Horiuchi Sosuke immediately replied with a grin. Su Yuncheng glanced at him; this kid was lying again.

Su Yuncheng ignored him, finished breakfast, packed her clothes, and prepared to go to work.

"Brother Yuncheng, everything I said is true. The buyer really is Chinese."

This time he wasn't lying; he was Chinese, but not an ordinary Chinese. Su Yuncheng still ignored him, put on his coat and hat, and dragged him out the door.

After locking the door, Su Yuncheng ignored him and walked straight towards the newspaper office.

"Brother Yuncheng, the buyer's identity doesn't matter, as long as they pay readily, our goal is to make money."

Horiuchi Sousuke followed Su Yuncheng, talking incessantly, but no matter what he said, Su Yuncheng didn't reply with a single word.

And that's how I ended up at the newspaper office.

"Editor-in-chief, you've arrived."

Huang Chuanming arrived early in the morning; the office had already been cleaned.

"You guys get to work first."

Su Yuncheng said something to them and went into his office, while Horiuchi Sōsuke followed him in.

"Okay, I'll say it. I admit it. They are from the Party Affairs Investigation Department."

Horiuchi Sousuke understood that his lies had no effect on Su Yuncheng. Without revealing the buyer's identity, Su Yuncheng would definitely not help him.

"Party Affairs Investigation Department?"

Su Yuncheng was stunned. Horiuchi Sosuke was too audacious to do business with KMT spies.

Horiuchi Sousuke hurriedly said, "That's right, Brother Yuncheng, it doesn't matter who they are. Anyway, if we don't sell, someone else will. Isn't it better for us to earn the money ourselves?"

"unimportant?"

Su Yuncheng laughed in anger. This kid was obsessed with money and was doing business with Kuomintang agents. If the Special Higher Police or other Japanese intelligence agencies found out, he would be in deep trouble.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. I only do business, and I didn't give them any of the information they wanted."

Horiuchi Sousuke nodded quickly, and Su Yuncheng glanced at him again.

Did the Party Affairs Investigation Department also buy intelligence from him?

Horiuchi Sosuke finally had some reservations, knowing the consequences of betraying information, but the real reason was that the other party's offer was not enough.

If you pay him enough, this kid would sell even his own father.

"Go back now."

Su Yuncheng waved his hand. Horiuchi Sousuke was stunned for a moment. Su Yuncheng still did not agree.

"Brother Yuncheng, as long as you help me, I guarantee your monthly bonus will be no less than five thousand yuan."

Horiuchi Sosuke hadn't given up yet. Su Yuncheng gave him a deep look. Five thousand silver dollars was quite a lot, and it was for a month.

But this money is hot potato; it's not so easy to take.

"I know what you're worried about, Brother Yuncheng. Don't worry, our business partner is actually their department head, so it's perfectly safe."

Horiuchi Sousuke has revealed all his secrets this time. He has no choice but to make things clear. Su Yuncheng is not so easily fooled.

He needed Su Yuncheng's support to ensure the safety of his goods.

Even her brother-in-law was not as useful as Su Yuncheng. After all, her brother-in-law worked for the consulate and it wasn't convenient for him to step in for everything. Su Yuncheng, on the other hand, had connections everywhere, from all walks of life to the police station.

He realized Su Yuncheng's influence when the goods were inspected last time.

Now that Dylan has become the Commissioner of Police, all the chief inspectors of the French Concession Police Station have to give Su Yuncheng face.

If he agrees, he can expand the business and make more money.

Giving Su Yuncheng a monthly dividend of five thousand silver dollars is nothing; he can earn another five thousand. If they continue to expand the scale in the future, it won't be a problem for each person to earn ten thousand per month.

The head of the Party Affairs Investigation Department is rich and has a big appetite.

He wanted all the goods that were in high demand.

As for who he sold it to, Horiuchi Sosuke wouldn't even bother to ask.

"Editor-in-chief, something's happened in Nanshi. Someone called to say there's been a fierce gunfight."

Huang Chuanming suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying quickly. Su Yuncheng was slightly taken aback. Something happened in Nanshi?

For it to be called a fierce gunfight, it must have been fired by more than one person. Nanshi was Chinese territory; in fact, the majority of people in the concession were Chinese, and news about Chinese people was the most popular.

"Drive there right away, I'll be there in a bit."

Su Yuncheng replied, and Horiuchi Sōsuke hurriedly called out, "Brother Yuncheng, what about our business?"

"Go back first, we'll talk about this later."

Su Yuncheng waved his hand, there was no time to deal with this kid now, he would send him back first.

Huang Chuanming hurriedly led his men away. Having a car made things much easier. Four people went, and Huang Chuanming drove them to Nanshi.

The scene has been cordoned off, and it was not the police who cordoned it off, but the Shanghai station of the Secret Service.

Let's go back an hour.

Hideaki Hayakawa was chatting happily with his companion, who was disguised as a rickshaw puller.

Within the entire Shanghai Special Higher Police intelligence group, Hideaki Hayakawa was the fastest runner, making him a perfect fit for the role of a coachman.

"Kato Ken doesn't resign voluntarily. Seeing him every day makes me nauseous."

Hayakawa's colleague complained, but Hayakawa seemed unconcerned: "Don't worry, even if he doesn't resign, the team leader will transfer him. Keeping him around is just disgusting."

Kato Ken is no longer a man; the intelligence team doesn't need such a cripple.

"They should be transferred sooner rather than later. What's the point of keeping this useless person around?"

Hayakawa and his gang often spoke ill of Kato Ken, and now that they were on a mission, they had no qualms about it.

"His injuries haven't fully healed, so even if he's transferred, he'll have to wait until he's fully recovered."

Kato Takeru was injured on duty. No matter who it is, even if they dislike him, they have to wait until he recovers before any action can be taken.

Sending someone away while they are injured will discourage others.

"Get in the car, Cao Lijun's car is coming out."

Hayakawa suddenly shouted, and his companion immediately got into the rickshaw. Nanshi was not a big city, and there were many Chinese people living there.

Cars can't go fast here, but rickshaws can keep up perfectly well without worrying about getting lost.

However, following an empty taxi is more likely to attract attention, while carrying passengers will reduce the amount of attention.

Cao Lijun was in the car, his face grim.

After receiving the warning yesterday, he went out for a special trip. He is usually very vigilant, but he doesn't always pay attention to his surroundings.

But now that someone has warned him, he knows that the Special Higher Police are investigating him. He was extremely careful when he went out and eventually discovered the anomaly.

Someone was indeed monitoring him, and they were using different methods.

There were rickshaws, and people would stop near his house regularly.

He reported to the station chief early this morning that Wang Hengxin was very decisive. If the Special Higher Police reached out their claws, then they would cut them off.

It would be best to capture them alive; if not, kill them.

We will not let a single one escape.

These Japanese agents aren't there to gather intelligence or to recruit defectors; there's no need to keep an eye on them.

They wanted to assassinate Cao Lijun, but Cao Lijun discovered their plot beforehand, and since it happened on Cao Lijun's territory, the outcome was predictable.

Shanghai Station is a major station, and the action team has a considerable number of members.

When Huang Chuanming arrived, the bodies of Hayakawa Hideaki and his companions had just been carried away.

Inside the Special Higher School, Kenji Kato was still unaware of Li-Chun Tsao's situation, but he was patient and kept waiting.

He believed he would receive the news soon.

Either Cao Lijun attacked their people, or Cao Lijun was unaware and was successfully assassinated by them.
