Genius Agent

Chapter 93 Determining Primary and Secondary Roles

"Yes."

The person who came to report bowed and accepted the order. It seemed that the person who had been in trouble was indeed one of their people, otherwise the team leader would not have been so panicked.

The atmosphere within the intelligence team was somewhat oppressive, a fact that Kato Ken quickly noticed.

He didn't know what was going on, but he could guess that someone had probably been in trouble.

If the assassination of Cao Lijun had been successful, the atmosphere wouldn't be like this, especially since the action team hadn't moved.

Cao Lijun is no useless person; he acted so quickly. He didn't choose the wrong person.

Kato Ken didn't deliberately inquire about anything, but he was in a good mood.

At noon, Su Yuncheng disguised himself and quickly arrived outside a house.

There was nothing unusual outside the house; no one was secretly watching.

Su Yuncheng stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Who are you?"

Chen Yansheng opened the door. Su Yuncheng looked to be in his thirties with a thick beard, and Chen Yansheng didn't recognize him at first glance.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Su Yuncheng walked directly into the courtyard. Chen Yansheng recognized his voice and relaxed his guard slightly, as he had already secretly touched his gun earlier.

Although they were in the concession, the struggle between spies was always in the shadows, and assassinations were frequent.

We must remain vigilant at all times.

"Who's here?"

Shen Mozhou came out. He had returned to Shanghai and had just settled the twelve team members.

Shen Mozhou told them to stay in the French Concession first, and that he would set up a shop for them. The twelve of them wouldn't need to be separated, as they were operatives and it would be more convenient for them to stay together.

They can be there promptly when needed.

"Brother Shen, it's me."

Su Yuncheng didn't stand on ceremony with them and walked directly into the living room, naturally sitting down in the main seat.

"Brother Su?"

Shen Mozhou was a little surprised. They had dealt with Su Yuncheng the most and recognized Su Yuncheng's voice as well.

"From now on, call me Mr. Pu. Is the Special Operations Section now established?"

Su Yuncheng looked at them. Shen Mozhou and Chen Yansheng were standing, and Su Yuncheng did not invite them to sit down.

The Secret Service is working for him; we need to prioritize and establish our roles. Now is not the time to play the good guy.

If we're too casual with them, it'll be difficult to manage them later.

"Reporting to Mr. Pu, the Chief has instructed that the Special Operations Section will henceforth serve you entirely."

Shen Mozhou quickly corrected his attitude and said with his head down that he understood that Su Yuncheng was trying to confirm their subordinate relationship, and he had come to terms with it in the past few days.

As long as Su Yuncheng can help them achieve merit, it doesn't matter who is in charge and who is subordinate.

The fact that Su Yuncheng didn't join the Special Service Department is actually a good thing for him now.

Chen Yansheng gave Shen Mozhou a complicated look. As expected of a teacher, he was able to take things in stride.

"Today, the Shanghai Railway Station took action against the Special Higher Police in Nanshi. You need to find out what happened."

Su Yuncheng said calmly that he didn't need to be polite to Shen Mozhou, and that he wasn't asking these questions to publish them in the newspaper.

He needed to understand the whole situation; the Special Higher Police were also his enemies.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

"Yes."

Shen Mozhou responded again, but was somewhat surprised. The Shanghai station was targeting the Special Higher Police in Nanshi.

"Is Lu Mingxuan one of your men?"

Su Yuncheng suddenly spoke, and Shen Mozhou looked up abruptly, quite taken aback.

After Hu Bang'an's death, the three people Hu Bang'an had recruited were temporarily under his control. How did Su Yuncheng know this?

He never mentioned Lu Mingxuan to Su Yuncheng.

"Yes, he was an outsider recruited by Hu Bang'an's secret service."

Noticing that Su Yuncheng was staring at him, Shen Mozhou quickly lowered his head and answered honestly.

Su Yuncheng had already guessed this and was not surprised. He continued to ask, "Tell me about Hu Bang'an's situation."

These peripheral matters are in Shen Mozhou's hands, which is equivalent to Su Yuncheng's hands. Boss Dai gave him a lot of power, and the Special Operations Section actually belongs to him.

If Su Yuncheng joins the Special Service Department, he can immediately become the head of the Special Operations Section, while Shen Mozhou can only become the deputy head.

"Yes……"

Shen Mozhou explained Hu Bang'an's situation in detail. Unlike Lu Mingxuan, Hu Bang'an was a secret agent of the Special Service Department.

Hu Bang'an was doing very well in Shanghai, but he was unexpectedly discovered by the Special Higher Police. His loss caused the Chief of Staff great distress.

Fortunately, Hu Bang'an has made some achievements in recent years.

Besides Lu Mingxuan, there was another deputy chief inspector in the International Settlement whom he recruited as an outsider for the Special Service.

Of the three outsiders, the third one is the most important in terms of identity.

Meng Youcai, a German comprador.

Meng Youcai worked for the Germans and knew many people, including many friends in both the International Settlement and the French Concession.

Hu Bang'an recruited him because he had leverage over him.

Moreover, Meng Youcai also had good relationships with many Japanese people, providing the Special Service with a lot of intelligence.

Boss Dai was generous enough not to take Meng Youcai away; now Meng Youcai is essentially one of their special operations officers.

"It's a pity about Hu Bang'an."

After listening to Shen Mozhou's explanation, Su Yuncheng sighed. Hu Bang'an was quite capable, and the three peripheral entities he had developed were all very strong. If he hadn't been exposed, he might have achieved great things in the future.

"Yes, it's a real shame that he was exposed because of his role as a radio operator."

Shen Mozhou has already found out why Hu Bang'an was exposed. When he first came to Shanghai, he had the mission of finding out the truth.

"Your radio station must pay attention to security."

Su Yuncheng looked at them; Shen Mozhou also had a radio, so they needed to be careful as well.

"Don't worry, we turn on the machine at a set time every day, and each time it is turned on for no more than half an hour."

Shen Mozhou hurriedly said that they are usually very careful and do not send messages unless there is a reason.

They basically only use the radio in important situations; otherwise, they only turn it on when they are waiting for orders from headquarters.

"There's a student at Tongwen Academy named Horiuchi Sōsuke. He's currently doing business with someone. You need to find out the details about the person he's doing business with."

Su Yuncheng gave them their first task. The matter at the Shanghai station was not part of the task; the Shanghai station would definitely report it. Shen Mozhou could find out what happened by asking headquarters.

"Okay, we'll check right away."

Shen Mozhou nodded again. He and Chen Yansheng were both intelligence agents, so investigating a Japanese person was no problem for them.

"Horikui Sosuke's business dealings involve people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Be careful not to let them find out."

Su Yuncheng gave a few words of advice, and Shen Mozhou was slightly taken aback. "People from the Party Affairs Investigation Department?"

How did these people end up colluding with the Japanese?

"Yes, don't worry, we'll be careful," Shen Mozhou replied. Su Yuncheng then stood up: "Find a suitable cover identity for yourselves. If anything happens, still contact me using signals. I'll come to see you."

Shen Mozhou and Chen Yansheng are now his assistants, and together with twelve special agents, Su Yuncheng now has direct subordinates in Shanghai.

Although they belong to the Special Service, many inconvenient tasks can be delegated to them.

The fried dough sticks were another line of Su Yuncheng's.

Noodles and Chen Ming haven't grown up yet, so let them learn first, and then we'll give them tasks in the future.

"Yes."

Shen Mozhou responded again and saw Su Yuncheng off.

Sato, from the Shanghai Special Higher Police Department, looked pained.

The men he sent out returned, and after verification, it was confirmed that something had indeed happened to one of their people.

He arranged for six people in Nanshi, all of whom were elite agents from the intelligence group, to be killed or captured alive by the Chinese.

According to those who returned, the one who carried out the operation was the Shanghai Station Action Group of the Special Service.

Cao Lijun was extremely ruthless, and it's very likely that he knew about the situation beforehand and was deliberately retaliating.

Their investigation was leaked.
