What Yuan Ye didn't know was that just before Chu Yuntian set out this morning, Xu Dehua's fate had undergone a drastic change.

Wang Tianwang telegraphed the headquarters about Xu Dehua being instigated by Zhou Yuanju and the failed assassination attempt on Zhou Yuanju, and asked the headquarters how to deal with Xu Dehua.

This is also where Wang Tianwang is smart. If it were someone else, he would not need to ask for instructions and would just handle it directly. He has the power to do so.

However, he knew that Xu Dehua was a relative of Xu Shiguang, the director of the headquarters' operations department, so he could not handle the matter on his own, or he might offend Xu Shiguang.

Xu Shiguang is the chief's confidant, and he might make things difficult for him and Chu Yuntian in the future. Moreover, Chu Yuntian will have to be Xu Shiguang's deputy when he returns to Shancheng, which will make it difficult for them to work together. Chu Yuntian is his confidant, so he naturally has to take this into consideration.

Chu Yuntian is now developing very well and has been appointed to the headquarters, where he still has room for development. Although he is reluctant to let Chu Yuntian leave the Shanghai station, he cannot find someone he trusts at the moment.

But from a long-term perspective, if Chu Yuntian can gain a foothold in the headquarters and make some achievements, it will also be beneficial to him. He will have an extra helper in the headquarters and he will be more informed. After all, he is far away from the mountain city.

Therefore, it was wise to ask the bureau chief how to deal with Xu Dehua. If the bureau chief wanted to kill Xu Dehua, Xu Shiguang could not blame him.

He also sent a telegram to Xu Shiguang, telling him about Xu Dehua. When Xu Shiguang knew about it, he would naturally think of a way. If he could save Xu Dehua, he would have done a favor. If he couldn't, it wouldn't be his fault.

When Dai Yunong saw the telegram sent by Wang Tianwang, he was very angry and was about to ask Mao Long to call the Shanghai station back and execute Xu Dehua immediately to set an example.

At this time Xu Shiguang came to the office. He had just received a telegram from Wang Tianwang and was shocked that Xu Dehua had done such a thing. This was a capital crime.

He somewhat regretted sending him behind enemy lines. The purpose of sending him there was to set an example. At that time, many people were unwilling to go and they all asked others to intercede for them, leaving him with no choice but to let Xu Dehua take the lead. No one else had anything to say, and the bureau chief even praised him for this.

He also believed that sending Xu Dehua to the Shanghai station could provide him with some training, which would be beneficial to his promotion. After a while, transferring him back to the headquarters would allow him to move to the next level.

Not long ago, he had called Wang Tianwang and asked Xu Dehua to take over as the head of the Operations Department after Chu Yuntian left. Wang Tianwang readily agreed.

But I didn't expect such a big change to happen. Xu Dehua was actually instigated by Zhou Yuanju to rebel. Isn't this courting death?

He knew that Wang Tianwang would never lie to him, which put him in a difficult position. The director would never show mercy to traitors.

But Xu Dehua was his close nephew, so how could he just stand by and watch him die? Moreover, it was he who sent him to Shanghai.

He must go see the bureau chief immediately. If he goes too late, Xu Dehua's life will be in danger.

I hope the bureau chief will spare Xu Dehua’s life because he has been at my service for many years.

As soon as he entered Dai Yunong's office, he saw Dai Yunong holding a telegram in his hand and talking to Secretary Mao with a gloomy face. It seemed that he was giving orders. He knew it must be related to Xu Dehua.

As soon as Dai Yunong saw Xu Shiguang coming in, he knew that he came for Xu Dehua, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. He said coldly:

"You also know about Xu Dehua, right?

Look what he has done!"

Xu Shiguang was ashamed and said:

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know this would happen.

At first, no one else was willing to go to Shanghai Station. In order to set an example, I let Xu Dehua go. He had no experience in fighting behind enemy lines and had never experienced the enemy's threats. I also have a responsibility because I shouldn't have let him go.

I watched him grow up and brought him into the organization. He worked diligently and never made any mistakes.

Fortunately, he discovered his mistake in time and did not cause any harm to the organization. He also showed remorse.

He has committed serious crimes. Can you give him a chance, bring him back to the mountain city, and lock him up for a few years? I will also discipline him strictly and make him mend his ways.

But no matter how the Bureau Chief handles it, I dare not complain and will be convinced."

Xu Shiguang's attitude was humble and his words were sincere.

Mao Long and Xu Shiguang are both Dai Yunong's confidants, and they have a good relationship with Xu Shiguang, so naturally they have to say a few words for Xu Shiguang.

"Commander, I think what Director Xu said makes sense. Xu Deguang has always performed well, and everyone has seen it.

He was able to take the lead behind enemy lines, which is something not everyone can do.

Although he committed a capital crime this time, considering his previous behavior and his deep remorse, and the fact that he did not cause any losses to the Shanghai station, sentencing him to a few years in prison can also have a punitive effect.

This is just my suggestion, please make the final decision."

When Xu Shiguang heard this, he immediately cast a look of gratitude towards Mao Long.

He knew that if Mao Long spoke, there would be more hope. Mao Long was the most trusted person of the bureau chief, and his words were more effective in front of the bureau chief than his.

Dai Yunong hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, he decided that Xu Shiguang was his confidant, had followed him for many years, and was loyal to him, so he had to give him some face.

What Mao Long said made some sense. After all, he did not cause any damage to the Shanghai Station, which made him different from other traitors.

Even if he is killed now, it will not have much effect. It will also make Xu Shiguang feel disheartened. What will his other confidants think?

Although he didn't say it on the surface, he probably felt resentful in his heart, so it wasn't worth it.

Dai Yunong pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"Director Xu, I really appreciate that you asked Xu Dehua to set an example before. You are not responsible for this matter.

This time he did not cause any losses, showed remorse, and had performed well before.

For your sake, I will spare his life this time and take him back to the mountain city.

Although the death penalty has been avoided, it is difficult to escape the punishment of life imprisonment, otherwise it would be difficult to follow suit.

Just as Secretary Mao said, sentence him to several years in prison, expel him from the organization, and never employ him again."

When Xu Shiguang heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and said:

"Thank you, Director. I will work harder in the future to repay your kindness."

Dai Yunong nodded and said to Mao Long:

"Isn't Chu Yuntian going back to Shancheng? Send a telegram to Wang Tianwang and ask Chu Yuntian to bring Xu Dehua back to Shancheng to await processing.

Also, tell Wang Tianwang that the sanctions against Zhou Yuanju, the traitor, must not be relaxed."

Dai Yunong was furious when talking about Zhou Yuanju, who ruined his fox hunting plan in Shancheng and caused the Japanese spy Silver Fox team to escape. If it weren't for the information provided by Yuan Ye, ten Japanese spies were captured and killed in Changsha, which allowed him to save some face. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to report to the chairman.

Now that this guy has arrived in Shanghai, he has caused chaos at Shanghai Station.

Dai Yunong wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

……

Xu Shiguang returned to his office happily and immediately sent a telegram to Wang Tianwang to express his gratitude.

After receiving the two telegrams, Wang Tianwang knew that Xu Dehua would not have to die. In fact, he already had a premonition. He knew that the bureau chief was very strict, even ruthless, in enforcing organizational discipline, but it also depended on the person.

He was glad that he did not use his arbitrary power, but instead handed Xu Dehua over to the headquarters for handling. At least Xu Shiguang owed him a favor.

He showed the telegram to Chu Yuntian and asked Chu Yuntian to bring Xu Dehua back to the mountain city.

When Chu Yuntian saw this, he was greatly surprised and very angry. He didn't know what the headquarters was thinking. They actually let the traitor Xu Dehua go. Not only did they not kill him, but they also asked him to take Xu Dehua back to Shancheng, just because Xu Dehua was Xu Shiguang's relative?

This was beyond his expectations. Based on his understanding of the bureau chief, he hated and was ruthless towards those who betrayed the organization.

I didn't expect that he would be given a light sentence on the grounds that no losses were caused to the organization. You know, if Yuan Ye hadn't discovered it in time, the entire Shanghai station would have been destroyed in his hands.

How can this convince the people? It will only make people more disheartened. If the dead martyrs knew about this, they would not be able to rest in peace.

It was a great shame that he and Yuan Ye had worked so hard to catch this traitor but he did not receive the punishment he deserved.

If Yuan Ye asked, what should he say?

Chu Yuntian knew that it was useless to tell Wang Tianwang, so he remained silent and agreed to take Xu Dehua back to the mountain city.

However, he had an idea in his mind. He would never let this traitor leave Shanghai alive. He had to find a way to kill him without leaving any trace and without arousing suspicion on him.
