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

He had barely poked his head out when Yuan Ye, who was hidden to the side, pulled out a pistol and swiftly smashed it into the back of his head. He didn't even have time to utter a sound before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.

The Japanese spy inside, who was lying in bed, heard the noise and got up.

"Nakajima-kun, what's going on?"

As he asked the question, he reached under his pillow and pulled out a pistol.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yuan Ye lifted the curtain and rushed in. The Japanese spy, realizing the danger, was about to fire when Yuan Ye raised his hand and shot him in the wrist holding the gun. The Japanese spy cried out and dropped his pistol. Yuan Ye darted forward and punched him in the chin, knocking him unconscious.

Yuan Ye picked up the pistol from the ground, dragged the two Japanese spies together, removed their outer clothing, and searched them thoroughly. He found a codebook on one of them. Yuan Ye tied them up tightly with rope. After searching the shack, he found no radio.

However, Yuan Ye estimated that the radio station was probably hidden nearby, so he decided to wait until Yue Haishan and his men arrived before conducting a search.

The gunshot shattered the tranquility of the valley in the early morning. Yue Haishan, Li Hong, and the others, who were a few hundred meters away, also heard it and were all startled. Yue Haishan immediately judged that Detective Xiao might be in danger, and he immediately ordered everyone to rush towards the direction from which the gunshot came.

As they rushed into the valley, they were immediately enveloped in thick fog. In the dense thicket, they could no longer distinguish east from west. Then another gunshot rang out, pointing them in the right direction. It should be not far to their right.

The situation was unclear, so they cautiously made their way towards the source of the gunshot, getting closer and closer to their target. Yue Haishan ordered everyone not to fire their weapons indiscriminately, so as not to accidentally injure Detective Xiao.

Just as Yue Haishan finished giving the order, he heard laughter coming from more than ten meters away.

"Section Chief Yue, I have captured the Japanese spy. You can come over without worry."

It was Detective Xiao speaking. Yue Haishan was immediately relieved. Not only was he alright, he had also captured the Japanese spy. How did he do that? Wasn't he just out investigating? How did he manage to catch the Japanese spy?

Although Yue Haishan was very curious, he didn't have time to think too much. He immediately led his men through the dense bushes and arrived at the shack. Detective Xiao was watching them with a smile outside the shack. At their feet lay two people with their hands and feet bound, one of whom had an injury on his hand.

It was clear that a fight had taken place. Fortunately, Detective Xiao was not injured, otherwise he would have had a hard time explaining himself. The Chief repeatedly instructed him to protect Detective Xiao's safety.

He wanted to ask what had happened, but before he could speak, Yuan Ye said:

"Spread your men out and search the area for the radio and weather equipment. I reckon they're hidden around here."

After Yue Haishan arranged the search, Yuan Ye began to explain what had just happened to him and Li Hong. Of course, he couldn't tell them the truth, but he told them that he had stumbled upon this shack in the thick fog and found the two Japanese spies sleeping. He had wanted to go back and wake them, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the place when he returned. He was also afraid that the Japanese spies would wake up during this time and run away after hearing the noise. So he made a last-minute decision to capture them while they were sleeping.

Who knew that after he entered the shack and knocked out one Japanese spy, another Japanese spy suddenly woke up, pulled out a gun and fired at him. He shot him first, wounding him. That was the first gunshot they heard.

After knocking the Japanese spy unconscious, he tied up the two Japanese spies. He figured that people outside would come running when they heard the gunshot, but the fog was so thick that he was afraid they would get lost and not be able to find their way. So, after a while, he fired another shot to show them the way.

After listening to Yuan Ye's account, Yue Haishan and Li Hong both felt that Detective Xiao was truly courageous. If they were in that situation, they might not have the courage to risk their lives alone like Detective Xiao.

Over this period of time, Yuan Ye became the person they admired the most. He had only been in the mountain city for a few days, but he had already cracked three Japanese spy groups in succession. It was unimaginable; he was a true genius agent.

At the same time, they also felt regretful. Why didn't the Director keep such a talented person? It would have been worth spending any amount of money.

Actually, after Detective Xiao and Chu Xiaoya left early that noon, the two of them asked Chu Yuntian at the dinner table why they didn't persuade the director to keep Detective Xiao.

Chu Yuntian couldn't tell them the truth, so he could only say that Detective Xiao had his own career in the United States, and that the Chief had tried to persuade him to stay, but he had to respect other people's wishes and could only try to bring him back from the United States later.

After two hours of repeated searching, and with the fog gradually dissipating, they finally found a leather suitcase in a crevice in the rock wall ten meters away. Inside was a radio wrapped in tarpaulin. The small crevice was covered by tree branches and was difficult to spot without careful observation.

Then, meteorological observation equipment was found on the hillside, thus completing the entire capture operation.

Everyone happily descended the mountain with the Japanese spies and spoils of war, and it was already noon when they returned to the station.

Yuan Ye reported the results of the arrest to Chu Yuntian, but Chu Yuntian did not seem excited. He affirmed the achievements of the operation and then told Yuan Ye some surprising news.

That morning, when he went to report to Dai Yunong about the successful investigation into the bombing of the Huangshan official residence, Dai Yunong was very surprised that the case had been solved so quickly, but she did not show excessive joy. This surprised Chu Yuntian. Logically speaking, this was a case personally supervised by the Chairman, and it was a case with a time limit for solving. Now that the case had been solved in less than two days, the Chairman should be very happy.

He soon found out why this was the case. Dai Yunong told him that just last night, he received reliable information that the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau had suffered major damage due to the defection of Zhang Mingchu, the head of the personnel department. A large number of people were arrested, and the most serious one was that the station chief, Wang Tianwang, was also captured and fell into the hands of the 76th Division.

According to "Operation Magpie Dove", Wang Tianwang had already surrendered to No. 76. In order to gain Li Qunshi's trust, he also revealed a group of people, thus the Shanghai Station was completely wiped out.

Dai Yunong has made a decision to appoint Chen Gongshu, who has already arrived in Chongqing, as the stationmaster of Shanghai Station and send him to Shanghai to rebuild the station.

Chen Gongshu proposed that the Shanghai Special Operations Group be placed under his leadership, but Dai Yunong did not agree.

Yuan Ye sighed. He hadn't expected that such a big change would happen at Shanghai Station in just ten days. Perhaps if he hadn't left Shanghai, he could have prevented it from happening.

I'll be working with Chen Gongshu in the future. I wonder what kind of person he is?

This person wanted to bring him under his wing, which he was naturally unwilling to do, undoubtedly increasing his own risk. Fortunately, Dai Yunong did not agree.

Then Chu Yuntian told him that the Director had decided to appoint him as the head of the North China region. After the North China region was damaged, it urgently needed to be rebuilt. Considering that the counter-espionage work in the mountain city had achieved a major victory, he hoped that he could take on an important role again and restore the work of the North China region. From now on, Yuan Ye's work will be directly led by the Director.

What Chu Yuntian didn't know was that it was actually Dai Yunong's confidants Xu Shiguang and Mao Long who recommended him for the position of North China District Chief. Xu Shiguang harbored resentment over Xu Dehua's death and suspected that Chu Yuntian was responsible. He had a good relationship with Mao Long, so he joined forces with Mao Long to recommend Chu Yuntian for the position of North China District Chief. In fact, Mao Long was unaware of this.

It seemed as if Chu Yuntian had been promoted half a rank and given an important position, but in reality, Xu Shiguang wanted to take revenge on him, put him in danger, and use the Japanese to get rid of him.

Yuan Ye asked:

"Chief, you've agreed?"

Chu Yuntian nodded and said:

“How could I refuse? I know that the situation in North China is dangerous. Chen Gongshu returned to Shancheng because he couldn’t stand there. So I’ve made the worst-case scenario plan. If something really happens to me, when you return to Shancheng, please take care of my family for the sake of our time working together.”

Chu Yuntian trusts Yuan Ye the most right now. He feels completely at ease entrusting his family to him. He originally wanted Yuan Ye to be his son-in-law.

After hearing Chu Yuntian's words of entrusting his son to him, Yuan Ye knew that Chu Yuntian trusted him. Besides, Chu Yuntian had treated him well, so he had to agree no matter what. He just hoped that nothing would happen to Chu Yuntian, but in this line of work, there was danger at any time, and who could say what would happen in the future?

Yuan Ye paused for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Thank you for your trust, Chief. You have treated me well, and I am deeply grateful. As long as I live, your family is my family, and I will always be there to take responsibility for it."

"But Chief, don't worry too much, you'll definitely be fine."

Chu Yuntian felt very gratified when he saw that Yuan Ye had agreed, knowing that he had not misjudged him.

He smiled and said:

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The director said that once you get back, he wants me to take you to see him immediately."

The two arrived at Dai Yunong's office. Dai Yunong warmly pulled Yuan Ye to sit down on the sofa and asked Yuan Ye to report on the situation of cracking the Japanese spy case. Yuan Ye gave a detailed report and finally reminded Dai Yunong that, according to the information he had, enemy planes would bomb the mountain city tomorrow, and they must take precautions in advance. Moreover, the enemy had already learned about the anti-aircraft firepower deployment, and it was necessary to adjust it as soon as possible.

After listening to the report, Dai Yunong said with emotion:

"Calling you to the mountain city was absolutely the right choice. Only you could achieve such results. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Your reminder is very important; I will immediately notify the relevant parties to implement it.

Then he continued:

"I think Deputy Director Chu has already told you the situation. Deputy Director Chu has another important mission, serving as the head of the North China region. He will be heading to North China soon, and from now on you will be under my direct leadership."

Chen Gongshu will be appointed as the stationmaster of Shanghai Station. You will be working with him from now on, and you will continue to contact him in the same way as you did with Stationmaster Wang. To keep it a secret, I have not told him your true identity.

Chen Gongshu is at the station right now. Would you like to meet with him?

Yuan Ye thought for a moment and said:

“My identity is very special, so I think it’s best not to meet him. After I return to Shanghai, I will help him as I did before, just like I helped Station Chief Wang.”

Yuan Ye didn't want to cause trouble and felt there was no need to meet Chen Gongshu. This man was a well-known and experienced spy, and meeting him might reveal something to him. For his own safety, it was better not to meet him.

Dai Yunong nodded.

"I understand your intention. If you don't want to see me, then so be it. When do you plan to go back to Shanghai?"

“I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ve been away from Shanghai long enough. If I stay any longer, it might arouse suspicion.”

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. But there's something I still need to remind you of. Although there's the Magpie Dove Plan, I'm still not sure if Wang Tianwang has betrayed you, or if he's truly surrendering or just pretending."

Therefore, you need to be fully prepared mentally. After returning to Shanghai, you must act according to the situation, first find out the facts, and ensure your own safety.

If it is discovered that Wang Tianwang has indeed genuinely surrendered, then we should find a way to eliminate him.

However, I hope it's a feigned defection so you can continue to conceal your identity and infiltrate the enemy ranks.

"Okay, got it."

Actually, Yuan Ye knew what to do even without Dai Yunong saying it.

That evening, Dai Yunong personally saw him off. After dinner, Chu Yuntian invited Yuan Ye to his home for tea, of course, the Jiming Gongcha tea that Yuan Ye had given him. Chu Xiaoya knew that Yuan Ye would be leaving the next day, and she was also reluctant to part with him.

The next morning, Chu Yuntian, Chu Xiaoya, Yue Haishan, and Li Hong saw Yuan Ye off at the airport. Yue Haishan would also be heading to North China with Chu Yuntian soon. The group bid each other a reluctant farewell and wished each other well.

As the plane soared into the azure sky, Yuan Ye looked at the buildings below gradually blurring, his feelings a mix of emotions. He was embarking on a new journey, unaware of what awaited him ahead. This time, returning to Shanghai would bring even more severe challenges!

However, he is no longer the same person he once was. He is not afraid of any challenge. Justice will surely prevail over evil, and the day of victory will eventually come!
