The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 118 The Sincerity of the Secret Service

French Concession·Wen Qiu's home.

"This is for you, Senior Brother Wenqiu." Cheng Mo took out a box and handed it to Wenqiu and said.

Wen Qiu was slightly surprised and reached out to take it. When he opened it, he saw that it was a brand new pocket watch. He quickly closed it and said, "Cheng Mo, I can accept such an expensive gift. Please take it back quickly."

"Brother, this is not expensive. The last time I came here, I saw that your pocket watch was sent to a watch shop for repair. When I got it back, the time was still inaccurate. In our line of work, it is not okay to have inaccurate time. So, this Once, when I was in Hong Kong, I saw this pocket watch, which was similar to your original one, so I bought it." Cheng Mo pushed it back.

"I'll give you how much." Wen Qiu heard what Cheng Mo said made sense, but still insisted not to accept the gift and wanted to give money.

"If you give me money, senior brother, I will never come to your house for food again." Cheng Mo said.

"What does this have to do with you coming home to have a meal?"

"You have calculated so clearly with me, how can I dare to eat your food?" Cheng Mo screamed strangely.

"Wenqiu, this is Junior Brother Cheng Mo's wish. Just accept it." At this time, Wenqiu's wife Xiaowan came over and persuaded her. They were husband and wife, revolutionary partners, so their words naturally had different weights.

"Hey, okay, then I'll thank you." Wen Qiu put away the pocket watch. Revolutionary comrades gave each other gifts, which did not violate the rules.

Besides, this "pocket watch" is indeed helpful to Wen Qiu at work. A pocket watch that is always not on time can easily cause trouble.

"Senior Brother Wenqiu, my matter is a bit complicated. I have to report it to you in person..." Cheng Mo began to talk about all his experiences in Hong Kong, detailing everything, and even submitted a written report.

The written report is naturally anonymous, but has his code name within the party.

His code name within the organization: Screw.

"Regarding your recruitment into the British Secret Service's Shanghai working group, I have reported to the Southern Bureau. Everyone in the organization feels that this is a huge test for you. If you do it well, there may be unexpected benefits. We also need intelligence from Western countries, but this is the first time I have encountered this gray middleman situation. Did the military commander give you a reply?" After listening and reading Cheng Mo's report, Wen Qiu thought for a long time before asking. road.

"I have sent back the secret message requesting instructions. I expect there will be a call back tonight."

"What do you think?" Wen Qiu asked.

"Competent, but difficult to control. The military command stationed in the Shanghai Special Administrative Region is fighting with the Japanese-supported gangster spy organization in the concession. This has seriously affected the interests of the British. They do not want the Japanese to make the concession a mess. At the same time, they do not want the Japanese to make the concession a mess. They don’t want the Shanghai Special Administrative Region to cause trouble every day, but they adopt a policy of indulgence and appeasement towards Japan. However, due to the diplomatic relations between the British and the National Government, it is impossible to sever diplomatic relations with us. The impact will be great, so they hope that the military will control this Both parties can take control and control the conflict within a controllable range," Cheng Mo said.

Of course, this was his understanding. He was not completely sure of what the British were thinking. However, the Ministry of Industry and the Public Security Bureau were concerned about the Japanese instigating the Zodiac Society and other rogue spy organizations to carry out violent terrorism in the public concession and the French Concession. The activity is no longer tolerated.

If this continues, their interests in Shanghai will not be guaranteed. You must know that most of the British investment in the Far East is in Shanghai, especially in overseas trade and shipping, and the annual profits are considerable.

The world's economy is in recession, and the Americans regard the Japanese as a dumping ground for their surplus products. The British economy is also suffering at home, and they all want to exploit the colonies to maintain domestic operations.

"This makes your job even more difficult."

"There is nothing on my side. The main thing is how much trust the British have in me, and how much trust I have to maintain in them. If I don't have enough trust, then I will be in danger. Once I am used, I will die without a burial place." .”

"Where's the military commander? Aren't you worried about the military commander?"

"This Dai Yunong still trusts me. Firstly, I have been in the Qingpu class. Secondly, I have fought in the national army. They know my ability and combat effectiveness very well. I have no reason to seek refuge with the British. Thirdly, I have fought in the Chinese army. , the special relationship between my sister and Dai Yunong, even if something happens, I will at least have a chance to defend myself." Cheng Mo said.

"They want you to join the gang just because you have this level of status. I'm afraid that their trust in you won't be 100%." ​​"It doesn't need to be 100%. If I just pass the news to both parties, then I am actually just a tool. , no one can be the master, but I am the safest, as long as they need such a communication channel." Cheng Mo analyzed.

"Tool man, this idea is interesting." Wen Qiu smiled and said, "With this identity, can the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau provide you with protection?"

"Yes, I can even use this status to do some things for the organization. I can still make the final decision on some small things." Cheng Mo said, "Can the organization arrange for someone to cooperate with my work?"

"What kind of man do you want?"

"Young, flexible mind, well-educated, preferably high school or above. It would be better if I can speak a foreign language. As my status becomes higher, the more people pay attention to me. Sometimes it is difficult to take care of both. If someone takes on me It will be much easier for me if I work with my senior brother on transportation." Cheng Mo said.

"Okay, let me look for this person. Do you want him to directly join the patrol room, or work beside you in another capacity?"

"Huajianshe, a publishing house jointly owned by my Wang Hai, gives me more freedom."

"That's fine." Wen Qiu agreed with Cheng Mo's idea.

"By the way, has Su Mo'er and I's marriage application been approved?" Cheng Mo asked. He had filed an application report before going to Hong Kong.

"We have investigated Su Mo'er's financial background and there is nothing wrong with it. In principle, you agree to marry her, but you have to pay attention to her ideological tendencies."

"Su Mo'er's ideology may not be very high, but she at least has a patriotic heart. There is no problem with this. I will guide her in the future and will not let her go astray." Cheng Mo said.

"Well, please be careful and don't expose your identity easily." Wen Qiu warned.

"I know."

……

The next day, Cheng Mo went back to work in Laozha's capture house. Pride called him to the office and threw him a thick file.

It is a file from the public concession patrol room investigating the assassination case of "Zhou Fengqi".

"Mr. Pride, isn't this case closed? What is the purpose of showing it to me?" Cheng Mo asked in confusion.

"The person behind this case is the Blue Shirt Club. We have captured two of their key figures, but they have always refused to admit their identities." Pride said, "Now these two people are being held in the Ward Road Detention Center. Tony Sir (Kaiziwei are two brothers, Tony Kaiziwei and John Kaiziwei, both are executives of Jardine Matheson Company, and Tony Kaiziwei is the deputy general director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce), to release these two people. , it’s up to you to take charge of this matter.”

"Release?" Cheng Mo was surprised and expressed confusion, "It would be great if we just release the person. Why do you have to do this for me?"

"Do you still remember what Mr. Tony told you at Xian Lesi?" Pride smiled slightly, "This is a good opportunity to establish a connection between the two parties."

Cheng Mo understood. The release of Wang Zongnan and Liu Fangxiong was the sincerity of the Ministry of Industry to the Lanyi Club. It was an intelligence transaction with the military commander.

The so-called secret communication channels should also contain their private purposes...
