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

He asked curiously:

"How did you find out?"

Yuan Ye knew Chu Yuntian would ask this question, and he had already thought of how to explain. Although it was annoying to have to explain every time, he couldn't not explain either.

"Yesterday afternoon's conversation made me suspicious of him. He said he didn't know that the Chairman was at the Huangshan official residence. Although he wasn't told by his superiors, he couldn't possibly not have guessed that he was being asked to send an additional platoon to the Huangshan official residence."

Of course, I only had suspicions. To further confirm them, I started following him as soon as he left. He first went back to the anti-aircraft artillery battalion headquarters and didn't come out until almost 7 p.m. Then he drove to the officers' club, and I followed him there.

When we arrived at the officers' club, I kept a close watch on him. He spent the whole night dancing and chatting with a dancer. The two seemed to know each other very well, and I noticed that he gave the dancer something.

He left after dancing a few dances. I suspect the dancer might be involved; if Li Zhengxian is a mole, she could be his contact. Could what Li Zhengxian gave her be intelligence?

I decided to stay and keep an eye on her. After she finished get off work, she got into a rickshaw that was waiting for her at the club entrance. That rickshaw must have been her private car. I quietly followed behind her. After the rickshaw driver took her home, I continued to follow him to see what he would do next.

I suspected that the rickshaw driver was their accomplice. After running for a while, he stopped in front of a shop that had already closed. I hid in the corner and observed. He looked around to make sure no one was there, knocked on the door a few times, then slipped something through the crack in the door and quickly left.

This behavior is very suspicious and basically confirms my thoughts. I think that thing was given to the dancer by Li Zhengxian and then given to him by the dancer. It should be the intelligence that Li Zhengxian just obtained.

If I'm not mistaken, this shop should be the base of Japanese spies. I saw the sign above the shop, which reads "Xin Xin Clothing Store".

I drove past there before going to work today and saw a man and a woman inside. They looked like a couple, which was probably their cover identity.

"Chief, you could call and ask if Li Zhengxian attended any important meetings yesterday morning. I estimate that after the heavy bombing the day before yesterday, a meeting should have been held to make corresponding adjustments to the air defense force deployment."

Chu Yuntian immediately picked up the phone, made a call, and then put it down a moment later, saying with a serious expression:

“You’re right. There was indeed a meeting about air defense yesterday morning, and Li Zhengxian attended it. It seems that what he provided was the intelligence about the air defense force deployment determined at this meeting.”

He believed Yuan Ye's words without a doubt. Not only was he quick-witted, but he was also an excellent tracker. He had been tracking Yuan Ye for so long without being discovered by the Japanese spies. He was truly a master of action.

Moreover, they achieved great results in just one day. He and the director had previously worried that 15 days would not be enough, but now it seems that this is not a problem at all.

This kid lived up to expectations. Looking at the entire Military Intelligence Bureau, who else could do that besides him?

Thinking that the Japanese spies had basically surfaced, Chu Yuntian couldn't wait to ask:

What do you think we should do next?

Yuan Ye explained his arrest plan, and Chu Yuntian naturally agreed. Yuan Ye immediately called Li Zhengxian and asked him to come to the bureau that afternoon to find out more about the anti-aircraft artillery platoon. Li Zhengxian readily agreed.

He never imagined that this was a trap to capture him. In his view, the Military Intelligence Bureau's investigation of the anti-aircraft artillery platoon was a misconception, which was exactly what he wanted, and it also showed that the Military Intelligence Bureau had no suspicion of him.

Yuan Ye then called Yue Haishan and Li Hong over to arrange the afternoon and evening arrest operations, instructing them to be prepared. However, the details of the operation must be kept strictly confidential, and the team members involved should not be informed before the operation begins.

Upon hearing that they were going to arrest Japanese spies, Yue Haishan and Li Hong were very excited. They had heard from Chu Yuntian yesterday that Detective Xiao had been kept behind by the bureau chief to investigate the bombing of the Huangshan official residence.

They knew the case was important, concerning the Chairman's safety, and that there was a deadline for solving it. The Chairman had only given them 15 days. Although they knew Detective Xiao was very capable, they were still worried for him.

After all, it involves a lot of people and the scope of the investigation is very large. If we let them handle it, it would be absolutely impossible to complete it in 15 days.

Unexpectedly, he made a breakthrough in just one day, which made them admire him to the point of prostration. They were amazed and thought that the title of detective was indeed well-deserved!

Around 2 p.m., Li Zhengxian arrived at Yuan Ye's office as agreed. When he pushed the door open, he saw that besides the man surnamed Xiao, Chu Yuntian was also there, looking ashen-faced, along with three other people, each glaring menacingly.

He felt a vague unease, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. He feigned composure and asked:

"Deputy Director Chu, did I come at the wrong time?"

Chu Yuntian sneered twice and shouted:

"You've come at the perfect time! Guards! Seize him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several team members rushed up, quickly tied his hands behind his back, then took the gun from his waist, stripped off his military uniform, and tied him up behind his back.

Li Zhengxian refused to be captured and struggled while arguing:

"I am a dignified officer of the National Revolutionary Army, why are you arresting me?"

Yuan Ye said coldly:

"Don't you know why you were arrested? If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. You were passing information to that Japanese female spy at the officers' club, did you think we didn't know?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengxian knew that his scheme had been exposed, and his face turned ashen. The last vestige of hope he had felt vanished instantly.

The fact that he could say such a thing shows that he was being followed and monitored by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and that his every move was being controlled by them, but he was completely unaware of it and actually delivered himself to their doorstep to be captured.

He was completely finished; his body immediately went limp, and he could no longer speak.

Yuan Ye gave him a disdainful look and shouted.

"He was taken away."

Li Zhengxian was taken to the interrogation room, where Yuan Ye immediately began interrogating him. This guy was a spineless coward, and with his mental state already broken, he confessed immediately before much torture was even used.

He was lured into this mess by a dancer at the officers' club named Li Lili. Under the lure of her beauty and money, he betrayed a lot of intelligence, including the weapon performance and firepower deployment of anti-aircraft guns, the air defense situation of important units, and the information about the Chairman's residence in Huangshan.

Yuan Ye used his ability to eavesdrop on thoughts to confirm that he was not lying. Apart from his superior, he knew nothing about the other Japanese spies, which was actually within Yuan Ye's expectations.

Yuan Ye knew he wouldn't get anything out of him, and the guy was definitely dead. But remembering the horrific scene of the bombing two days ago, Yuan Ye couldn't let this scoundrel live a good life before executing him. So, using the excuse that the guy hadn't revealed any more information, he subjected him to a brutal torture, making him feel like he was dying. Only when the guy was barely recognizable as a human was Yuan Ye able to breathe a sigh of relief.
