Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Yuan Ye knew what she meant; he had heard her thoughts. Nanyun Masako already knew that it was he who suggested to Li Qunshi that Li Zhongfa be sent out to search for the Red Party. Li Qunshi had not told her this on his own initiative; it was only after she had called him two days earlier to inquire about Li Zhongfa's situation that Li Qunshi had told her. She had not opposed sending Li Zhongfa to search for the Red Party then.

Now that Li Zhongfa is dead, she can't help but doubt Yuan Ye's motives. She asked Yuan Ye what he thought, naturally to test him.

Yuan Ye knew it all and thought, what a haunting fellow he is. He sighed and said:

"It was I who suggested to Director Li that Li Zhongfa be sent to search for the Red Party. It seems I didn't give enough consideration to his safety. I am responsible for his death.

I agree with Director Li and Director Yan. This was probably an accidental incident. It's unlikely someone leaked the information. I believe the people Director Yan sent are all very reliable."

Li Qunshi felt a little guilty when he heard Yuan Ye say this, not to mention that he had just spoken well of him, so he immediately said:

"Special Envoy, how can I blame you for this? It was my fault for not being considerate enough to protect Li Zhongfa."

"This is not the director's fault. I should have sent more people."

Yan Ping quickly came out to take the responsibility. Now that things have come to this, it would be tactless for him not to take the responsibility.

Nan Yun Masako saw that Yuan Ye spoke frankly and took the initiative to say that it was he who suggested sending Li Zhongfa to find the Red Party, and he also felt quite guilty about Li Zhongfa's death. In addition, Li Qunshi and Yan Ping also came out to take responsibility, so she dispelled her doubts. After all, this suspicion had no basis and was just a professional habit.

So he said lightly:

"You all spoke sincerely. After I learned about this, I didn't object. It's just the death of a Red Party traitor. It's no big deal."

For Masako Nagumo, the death of a traitor, a small and worthless person at that, was not a big deal to her.

When she heard that Zhou Yuanju had died, she was even a little happy. Her only regret for the person who had once insulted her was that Zhou Yuanju did not die at her hands.

Li Qunshi and Yan Ping were relieved after hearing this. However, Yuan Ye knew that although Nanyun Masako did not pursue the matter, he could not let his guard down. He had to be more cautious in dealing with her in the future and try not to let her get suspicious.

Although he is a member of the Iwai Mansion, Nanyun Masako doesn't care about so much. If she finds a flaw, she will catch him without hesitation and will not care about the face of the Iwai Mansion at all.

Near noon, Xiang Shoushi hurried to Li Qunshi's office. He saw Nanyun Masako, Yuan Shikai and Yan Ping there. He was stunned and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Li Qunshi knew that Xiang Shoushi must have something important to report, probably about the insider. He glanced at Yan Ping, who tactfully left the office.

As soon as Yan Ping left, Li Qunshi immediately said:

"Director Xiang, you can speak now."

Xiang Shoushi said uneasily:

"The person sent to contact the insider called. According to the agreed contact method, he pretended to be a traveling cigarette dealer and walked past the insider's residence, shouting loudly in the agreed tone. After the insider heard the shouting, he would come out to meet him after a while. He waited for half an hour, but no one came out to find him.

He repeated it again, but still no one came out to meet him. He sneaked to the door and listened closely to the movement inside, but he could not hear any sound and there seemed to be no one inside.

He called me to report and asked what to do next. I told him not to come back and just to watch from a distance. But I had a bad feeling in my heart.

"Are you saying that something might have happened to this insider?"

Nanyun Masako said with a frown.

"I can't really explain it, but I just feel like something's not right. Even if the inside player isn't at home, the other two should be there, so I always feel a little uneasy."

Li Qunshi was also a little worried and asked:

"Should we send someone to check it out?"

"I had the same idea. I'm planning to send someone pretending to be a worker from the power company to visit his house under the pretext of inspecting the circuit. If you agree, I'll arrange it."

Yuan Ye thought to himself that Xiang Shoushi was indeed an old agent, his senses were quite sharp, and he actually managed to smell something.

Nanyun Masako felt that what Xiang Shoushi said made sense, and nodded.

"We must send someone who is cautious to investigate and see what is going on, and try not to arouse suspicion."

Although she felt that this was a bit risky, she felt uneasy until she understood the situation, so she agreed to send someone to take a look.

As Xiang Shoushi left, Li Qunshi knew that Yuan Ye still didn't understand the situation, so he explained:

"Special Correspondent, I haven't had time to tell you that this insider is actually a subordinate of Director Xiang. He decided to surrender after reading Director Xiang's surrender notice. In order to allow him to play a greater role, Director Xiang asked him to temporarily stay away from No. 76 and continue to lurk in Shanghai Station."

"Oh, so that's how it happened. I remember it was Miss Masako's idea to post the surrender notice. Miss Masako is really amazing."

Yuan Ye pretended to admire him.

When he heard Xiang Shoushi return to the office, he called Hu Deping over and gave him some instructions. Hu Deping left soon after.

Xiang Shoushi felt that Hu Deping, with his prudence and experience, was the most suitable person for this task. He wasn't worried that Hu Deping would take the opportunity to escape, because during his long stay in the hospital, he had deliberately let down the guard of the team members who were supposedly protecting Hu Deping, creating numerous opportunities for Hu Deping to escape, but Hu Deping withstood every test.

This made Xiang Shoushi believe that Hu Deping was truly surrendering. However, Xiang Shoushi never dreamed that his attempts were in vain. Hu Deping had no intention of escaping at all, because there was no need. He had already accepted the organization's mission to lurk in No. 76.

Hu Deping actually guessed that this was a test from Xiang Shoushi. Even if he wanted to escape, he would not be able to do so. There would definitely be spies ambushing on his escape route.

Hu Deping took a set of electrician's clothes and a tool bag, rode his bicycle out, and when he came back, it was already an hour later.

No. 76 had already had lunch. He met Xiang Shoushi in the office and reported the situation in detail.

After he arrived at the house, he began to knock on the door, but no one responded. So he followed Xiang Shoushi's request and quietly opened the door with a lock-picking tool.

There was no one in the house, and it was cleaned very cleanly. All clothes and toiletries were taken away.
