Genius Agent

Chapter 29 Failed Attempt to Steal a Chicken

"It was ostensibly to improve the physical fitness of the newspaper's employees, but in reality, it was to give me special training."

Huang Chuanming replied immediately, while Lao Meng was somewhat surprised: "Special training?"

"That's right, training in espionage."

Huang Chuanming recounted how his outstanding performance earned him the appreciation and support of Su Yuncheng and Teng Zhixiong, which led to him receiving special espionage training.

"This is a good thing, but you must be careful during the special training and make sure Su Yuncheng doesn't notice anything unusual."

Old Meng was very pleased. Huang Chuanming was an outstanding talent, a rare find. If he could become a professional agent, his role and value would be even greater in the future.

Such talented individuals must be protected at all costs.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful and won't let him notice anything unusual."

Huang Chuanming nodded immediately, then continued, "Today, Su Yuncheng and I went to the hospital..."

Hu Bang'an, the deputy chief inspector of the Hongkou Police Station in the International Settlement, turned out to be a member of the Special Service Department, and was very likely to be discovered and secretly arrested by the Japanese.

Su Yuncheng has already found out that Hu Bang'an may be injured and is in a Japanese hospital.

"This information is very important; I will report it for you."

Old Meng was an old comrade, and he immediately realized that this was important intelligence. Although the Special Service was their enemy, the Special Service was also secretly fighting against the Japanese.

Moreover, knowing more about the enemy will not do them any harm.

Huang Chuanming's role has become even more important. Despite working at a newspaper, he is still able to obtain a lot of crucial intelligence.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Meng."

Huang Chuanming was very happy to be able to contribute to the organization.

"Mr. Meng, how's my application to join the Party going?"

Huang Chuanming then asked, which was his biggest concern today. Old Meng had told him last time that he would help him apply to higher authorities.

His situation is special; the organization cannot recruit him for the time being and must report to higher authorities for a decision.

"Don't worry, I've already reported it to them, and I expect to have results soon."

Old Meng replied with a smile that Huang Chuanming was extremely outstanding in every aspect, and what was even more remarkable was that he had a radio station and was a talent in the field of telecommunications.

If Huang Chuanming can become a professional agent through Su Yuncheng, then his shortcomings will be made up.

He will surely become a pillar of the organization in the future, or even a top agent.

"That's great, Mr. Meng. I'll be going now. Please be careful."

Huang Chuanming was even happier to receive an affirmative answer. Old Meng saw him off and watched him leave.

Su Yuncheng noticed Huang Chuanming coming out from the shadows.

As Huang Chuanming walked out of the alley, he looked around and was indeed more vigilant than before.

Su Yuncheng glanced at his watch; the entire process, from his disappearance to his reappearance, had only taken sixteen minutes.

Whether Huang Chuanming went to meet someone or to deliver intelligence, the scope of this can be limited to within an eight-minute walk, or even less.

Su Yuncheng did not enter the side road; he just needed to remember the intersection.

Su Yuncheng watched Huang Chuanming return home before heading back himself.

That night, Su Yuncheng had no dreams and slept very well.

"Editor-in-chief, our newspaper has sold over 10,000 copies for two consecutive days."

Shortly after arriving at the newspaper office in the morning, Huang Chuanming came to report the good news to Su Yuncheng: the newspaper had secured the news of the tram accident that killed someone, which significantly increased newspaper sales.

Although the number has decreased in the past two days, it still remains around 10,000.

If we can consistently get attractive news, the newspaper's sales can be stabilized at over 10,000 copies.

Su Yuncheng had already completed the six-month task that Muto Tomohiro had given him ahead of schedule.

"This is a good thing. Tell them to find more useful news. If sales exceed 10,000 for ten consecutive days, I will ask the boss to give everyone a raise."

If you want a horse to run fast, you need to feed it more grass; a raise is the best fodder.

If sales exceed 10,000 copies for ten consecutive days, Su Yuncheng is confident that newspaper sales will remain stable at over 10,000 copies in the future.

"Thank you, editor-in-chief."

Huang Chuanming smiled and said, "This is good news." Sure enough, everyone was very excited when they heard it.

An increase in monthly income is far better than a single bonus.

At the Xiafei Road Police Station, Lu Mingxuan had been keeping a close eye on Hu Bang'an's affairs.

The police force of the International Settlement is not entirely incompetent; they are putting pressure on the Japanese, who suspect that Hu Bang'an was arrested and injured by the Japanese, and is currently in a Japanese hospital.

They requested that someone be sent to search the area, but the Japanese refused.

The Japanese would never agree to this.

There have been many rumors about Hu Bang'an recently. Some say he was a Kuomintang agent who opposed the Japanese and was arrested by them.

Some people say that Hu Bang'an was a member of the Communist Party, which is why he was being targeted by the Japanese.

Regardless of the specific rumor, it ultimately points to the Japanese.

Mizuno has been under a lot of pressure lately; his section chief has already scolded him twice.

Mizuno acted without reporting, bringing back a person whose fate was unknown, which caused them a huge problem.

Hu Bang'an was still unconscious, and no information could be obtained from him, but Mizuno was already feeling the pressure.

This time, the attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly, and Mizuno regretted his rash decision.

"Team leader, the doctor said that if we forcibly transfer Hu Bang'an, he might be in danger."

Endo is reporting to Mizuno that Hu Bang'an cannot continue to be kept in the hospital, as many people are watching him there every day, all wanting to know if Hu Bang'an is inside.

Hu Bang'an must be relocated.

"Even if it's dangerous, we have to move him. We'll take him away tonight."

Mizuno gritted his teeth. Hu Bang'an had become a hot potato. He hadn't gotten what he wanted from Hu Bang'an yet, so he couldn't kill him for the time being.

He couldn't stay in the hospital either; the section chief had warned him that he had to take Hu Bang'an away from the hospital.

If Westerners were to discover Hu Bang'an, it would be a diplomatic incident.

This responsibility is something that even Section Chief Fujita, let alone Mizuno, cannot bear.

The only good news for Mizuno right now is that his superiors are holding him back from the pressure and preventing anyone else from entering the hospital.

Westerners have not yet been able to confirm whether Hu Bang'an is in the hospital.

"Hai."

Endo bowed his head and accepted the order. The Special Higher Police had a medical room, but the conditions were rudimentary. If they really brought the person back, Hu Bang'an would have to leave it to fate.

Endo will carry out the orders from above, and it won't be his responsibility if anything goes wrong.

Mizuno was doing well in the Tohoku region, but he underestimated the situation in Shanghai.

This isn't their territory; they can't do whatever they want here.

Shanghai is a place with many powerful forces; one must be cautious here.

In the afternoon, Su Yuncheng brought Huang Chuanming and the other four to the police station again. As usual, he had them run, and then went to see Lu Mingxuan.

"Yuncheng, you've come at the right time. My back pain has flared up again these past two days. Take me to meet your doctor friend tomorrow."

Lu Mingxuan said that he couldn't rest easy after not finding any trace of Hu Bang'an for two consecutive days.

He decided to go to the hospital to get checked out by himself tomorrow.

Regardless of whether he could find Hu Bang'an or not, he had to go there in person; he might gain something from it.

Su Yuncheng gave him just that reason.

"Sure, may I borrow your phone for a moment? I've arranged a time with him."

Su Yuncheng readily agreed, understanding that Lu Mingxuan was anxious and wanted to go to the hospital.

No matter what kind of undercover agent they are, being impatient is a major taboo. They must be able to restrain themselves. In intelligence work, the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
