Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Xu Zhongyi sighed helplessly and had to stand up to get the wine glasses. He skillfully filled everyone's glasses with red wine, and the amber liquid swayed gently in the glasses.

The aroma of wine filled the air. Chen Gongshu and Chen Ming, under the influence of alcohol, gradually opened up their conversation, and the atmosphere became lively.

After a few drinks, both of their faces flushed, and they became closer as they talked.

After another round of reminiscing and praising each other, Chen Gongshu suddenly put down his wine glass, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious expression.

"I stayed here specifically to wait for my successor." He spoke slowly, his eyes sweeping across Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning's faces. "Firstly, I wanted to see who will take over my job, and secondly... I have something important to tell you."

Seeing Chen Gongshu getting to the point, Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning immediately sat up straight.

They all knew that Chen Gongshu would never stay in Tianjin waiting for them for no reason. There must be something big behind this.

"Brother Gongshu, feel free to speak." Chen Ming leaned forward with a serious expression.

"Um...should I step away?" Xu Zhongyi suddenly interrupted, his tone clearly nervous, and he was about to get up and leave.

He didn't want to hear any more confidential information.

Chen Gongshu was specially arranged by Dai Li to stay in Tianjin, and he must have something extremely important to tell him.

After rescuing Chen Gongshu, he contacted Nanjing immediately, but was severely reprimanded by Dai Li, who said that he acted on his own and had no respect for discipline.

"No need to avoid it." Chen Gongshu waved his hand, his tone unquestionable: "This matter is also related to you, just listen here!"

Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning exchanged glances, and a guess flashed through their minds at the same time!

"An important person from the Military Unification Department has come to Tianjin." After Chen Gongshu signaled Xu Zhongyi to stay, he got straight to the point.

"Party Affairs Investigation Office! Xu Enzeng's people!" Yu Xiuning frowned.

"That's right." Chen Gongshu looked solemn.

"A senior agent of the police department, whose exact identity has not yet been ascertained. Xu Enzeng has acted with extreme caution, and only his code name is known."

"What code name?" Yu Xiuning asked.

"Shadow." Chen Gongshu uttered these two words, and the air in the room seemed to freeze instantly.

"What's so special about this shadow?" Chen Ming asked in confusion, "Why would Brother Gongshu stay and wait for us?"

"I didn't know it at first." Chen Gongshu shook his head, then suddenly turned to Xu Zhongyi, "Until Boss Dai told me the truth himself!"

He paused, forcing a smile. "Xu Zhongyi, I have to apologize. I really thought you were sent by the higher-ups to gild your reputation. If Director Dai hadn't pointed it out, I would never have guessed... you could actually establish contact with the Kwantung Army's 4th Division and even obtain weapons from them! You're truly a young talent! Come, let me toast you."

As he spoke, Chen Gongshu raised his glass and drank it all.

"Master Chen, thank you for your compliment..." Xu Zhongyi hurriedly waved his hands to explain, but Chen Gongshu raised his hand to stop him.

"No need to elaborate on the details. It's clear that Director Dai values you, and you all, very much." Chen Gongshu glanced meaningfully at Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning, saying, "You've done a remarkable job establishing a connection with the Japanese divisions in the Northeast. Compared to me... well..."

Chen Ming secretly glanced at his wife and saw that she was just lost in thought and silent, so he could only smile awkwardly at Chen Gongshu.

"I don't care about the specific details of how you do business with the Fourth Division." Chen Gongshu looked at Xu Zhongyi again: "But your last weapons sales incident has exposed your true colors!"

"What?!" Xu Zhongyi's face suddenly changed.

"That person from Xu Enzeng is here to investigate this matter!" Yu Xiuning suddenly interrupted.

"It's not an investigation, it's that we have already got the clues." Chen Gongshu's face was gloomy.

"According to information received by Director Dai, this 'shadow' is here to contact the garrison intelligence department."

"What?! He Xu Enzeng wants to contact the Japanese?!" Chen Ming exclaimed.

"What a fuss!" Yu Xiuning frowned and glared at him, then turned to Chen Gongshu: "What exactly does Xu Enzeng want to do? What countermeasures does Boss Dai have?"

Chen Gongshu shook his head. "The specific purpose is still unclear. But Director Dai's analysis is nothing more than two points. The first is money. Although the First Division has the support of two big bosses, who wouldn't do something for the sake of profit? Information about the Japanese Fourth Division selling weapons is likely to fetch a good price."

"What else?" Yu Xiuning asked.

"Director Dai speculates that Xu Enzeng might be trying to stir up conflict between the Kwantung Army and the Garrison Army." Chen Gongshu sneered, "Humph. If successful, it would be a good opportunity to win credit from the higher-ups."

"The weapons Xu Zhongyi obtained were for his own people! What is Xu Enzeng's intention?!" Chen Ming slammed the table and stood up.

"Hmph! If the First Division had considered the greater good, they wouldn't have been so hostile to us Second Division." Chen Gongshu curled his lips in disdain. "As long as we do it secretly, we can always blame it on our negligence later. Xu Enzeng is much better at shifting the blame than we are."

"So what's the situation now? Has Shadow contacted the garrison troops? Where is he?" Yu Xiuning's face was solemn, and her voice was raised a few degrees.

Dai Li did not reveal the whole story, but just pushed the three of them to the front, but Yu Xiuning knew the pros and cons of it.

"Don't worry, things have taken a turn for the better." Chen Gongshu smiled mysteriously, "Otherwise, there would be no need for me to stay here waiting for you."

Without waiting for the two to question him, he continued, "Although I haven't found Shadow himself, I know the location of a base in Tianjin. I've dispatched a six-man task force to keep a close watch 24 hours a day. These people are all my trusted confidants. I didn't even let them participate in the last assassination attempt."

"Even if we get rid of Shadow, what if Xu Enzeng sends more people?" Chen Ming was puzzled.

"Haha, Shadow isn't the key." Chen Gongshu said meaningfully, "The key is that during the weapons handover, someone was careless and Shadow came into contact with this person when he came to Tianjin.

So as long as we get rid of the shadow, Xu Enzeng won't be able to find any evidence in a short time."

"That's easy, isn't it? Just keep sending people to get information!" Chen Ming blurted out. Suddenly, he noticed the strange looks from the two men and slapped his forehead. "Wait... Brother Gongshu, you're not sending those people..."

As he spoke, Chen Ming made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"If you don't keep your mouth shut, it could be fatal." Chen Gongshu nodded with a smile.

Yu Xiuning rolled her eyes at him and turned to Chen Gongshu: "You just said the situation has changed. What's going on?"

"The specific reason is unknown." Chen Gongshu shook his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "It may be that the negotiations broke down, or it may be that the Japanese are unwilling to pay.

Anyway, the garrison intelligence department is now working with various spy agencies in Tianjin to hunt down our people. It seems they are looking for Shadow."

"What are you waiting for! Let's go and take over their lair in Tianjin now!" Chen Ming stood up suddenly.
