Traveling through the Republic of China: Spy Shadow Enters the Game

The next day, Lin Ruotang went to the Intelligence Department.

There is indeed a big difference between this place and the General Affairs Office. Let’s talk about the workload first. Lin Ruotang’s hands were twitching all the time. He kept writing, packing file bags, and running up and down the stairs.

Nowadays, all the files are handwritten. Lin Ruotang has become more careful when organizing the files of some people.

When sorting out the files of Japanese or secret service personnel, I took a few more glances and secretly wrote down some key information.

Now that she was busy, she had no time to stroll to the second floor, let alone find Xie Wuwei.

Now she is still in the Intelligence Department, and her identity is extremely sensitive.

She had just finished organizing a document when she heard Wang Shumei calling her.

"Assistant Lin, Director Zhou wants to see you."

Seeing Wang Shumei's meaningful eyes, Lin Ruotang stood up, feeling nervous. It was only her first day at work, and it shouldn't be anything important for her to find her.

Although confused, he still came to Zhou Qin's office obediently.

Arriving at the office, Zhou Qin looked Lin Ruotang up and down and asked first:

"Assistant Lin, what do you think of the work of the Intelligence Department today?"

Lin Ruotang thought she was giving Jin Dayong face, so she answered with a bitter face,

"I now know how tiring the work in the Intelligence Department is. I'm just a small assistant, and I'm almost overwhelmed today. You can imagine that Director Zhou's work is probably even more tiring..."

Zhou Qin thought to herself that Lin Ruotang's ability to do things was not very good, but his words were nice.

She had a sullen face and didn't say anything. Lin Ruotang felt uneasy and her heart was in her throat.

"Were you outside when Ono Jiro was assassinated?"

Hearing Zhou Qin's question, Lin Ruotang didn't know why he suddenly brought up this matter, so he answered honestly:

"I was out."

"Have you seen the killer that day?"

Zhou Qin stared at Lin Ruotang closely, not missing any trace of abnormality on her face.

"I saw a figure."

Lin Ruotang didn't know why he was still investigating this matter, so he could only say with 70% falsehood and 30% truth:

"I saw that the driver was not there, so I was sitting in the car and wanted to drive away secretly. A figure flashed by and scared me. I almost hit the police station."

After hearing this, Zhou Qin nodded. This was similar to what others said. It seemed that Lin Ruotang did not lie.

Zhou Qin waved her hand, signaling Lin Ruotang to go down.

Lin Ruotang thought of something, took two steps, and asked curiously:

"Director Zhou, could Ono Jiro be a descendant of a wealthy family?"

When Zhou Qin heard this, his expression became serious.

"That's not something you can ask. You just need to know that things are not peaceful outside these days, so you should stay out of the house less. Otherwise, if you get involved, no one can protect you."

Lin Ruotang's expression changed, and he could only answer cautiously.

"Got it. Thank you Director Zhou for the reminder."

After leaving Zhou Qin's office, Lin Ruotang did not return to the assistant's office, but went to pour water.

While pouring water, I wondered why the inspections were so strict during this period.

Jiro Ono died, and this time the martial law is more severe than ever before. Even when Kameda died last time, the investigation was not so strict. I haven't heard that Jiro Ono has any relatives who are high-ranking officials in Japan?

It seems that there is something fishy. Lin Ruotang touched his chin and thought wildly.

"Assistant Lin!"

Lin Ruotang was startled and turned to see Sun Lan behind her. Thinking of how she and Liu Yan sat in front yesterday, she should know something. She smiled and said:

"Assistant Sun, are you here to make tea too?"

Sun Lan was very surprised. She thought Lin Ruotang would ignore her. After all, she and Liu Yan isolated her yesterday.

"Yeah, what is Assistant Lin thinking about? Is he thinking about Section Chief Xie?"

Sun Lan lamented in her heart that Lin Ruotang was so lucky. Although Xie Wuwei was not a rich man, his devoted look really made him out of place among the other male spies.

Of course, she didn't believe it in her heart, thinking that Xie Wuwei was just pretending, and it must be because of Lin Ruotang's background.

Lin Ruotang didn't know that Sun Lan was secretly criticizing her and Xie Wuwei. She lowered her head and drank a sip of hot water to block the contemplation in her eyes. She turned and asked about the dinner yesterday.

"Assistant Sun, did you see the person who attacked Ono Jiro last night?"

Sun Lan put the kettle away and said:

"That person was far away from us. We only saw a silhouette."

Sun Lan thought of something and whispered to Lin Ruotang:

"But that wasn't directed at Ono Jiro. I saw Ono Jiro being shot for saving another Japanese man."

Lin Ruotang's heart moved. It seemed that the Japanese professor named Kurokawa Akihito was the key.

At this point, Lin Ruotang pretended to be surprised and asked:

"Director Zhou didn't go to the dinner yesterday. How did he know I was there and that I saw the assassin who assassinated Ono Jiro?"

Sun Lan's breathing stagnated. Seeing Lin Ruotang put down the water cup and stared at her, as if doubting her, she quickly said:

"I did not say anything."

She hesitated for a moment, and finally stammered:

"But early this morning, Liu Yan went to see Director Zhou."

"Bang!" Lin Ruotang put down the water cup fiercely and said angrily:

"It must be Liu Yan again. I'm not done with her!"

At this point, Lin Ruotang felt that he still had to sow discord between Sun Lan and Liu Yan.

"Assistant Liu isn't as kind as you think."

Thinking that Lin Ruotang's connections might be no less than Liu Yan's, Sun Lan pretended to be shy and said:

"I'm old now, and Assistant Liu said he knows a lot of young talents!"

"Silly, she is single and has some outstanding young men to introduce to you."

Lin Ruotang said with a look of disappointment, then she whispered carefully in Sun Lan's ear:

"Since you're honest, I'll tell you something. Do you know Shen He, the chairman of the maintenance association?"

Sun Lan thought for a moment, because that was the rich man in the family.

"what happened?"

Lin Ruotang knew from her expression that Liu Yan hadn't told her, and said mysteriously:

"President Shen's son will be back from studying in Japan soon. The Shen family has been looking for a daughter-in-law for some time."

She stole a glance at Sun Lan's expression, crossed her arms, and said angrily:

"I don't care about anyone with the last name Shen. I only have Xie Wuwei in my heart!"

Sun Lan was about to make a joke when she heard a cough behind her.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lin Ruotang looked over and saw a heroic face staring at him with a smirk. The person was Xie Wuwei.

He leaned his left hand on the door frame of the tea room, his right hand on his waist, his eyes full of teasing.

Sun Lan brought the glass of water and left quietly.

The balance in her heart was also tilted. Liu Yan said nice things, but she didn't tell her such big news.

Lin Ruotang only met with him a few times, but he told him some important news, which shows that Lin Ruotang is still reliable.

Besides, Lin Ruotang was right. Liu Yan was single. If she had a good man, she would never tell him. He also felt cold towards her.

"I knew I could stop you here!"

Xie Wuwei walked in. Lin Ruotang felt very embarrassed because her passionate confession had just been heard.

Although it was an act, she was shy. She was about to leave with the cup of water, but Xie Wuwei grabbed her wrist.

Wang Shumei just walked in, took a quick glance, took the water, and turned to leave.

Lin Ruotang looked at Wang Shumei, put the water cup in Xie Wuwei's hand, and ran out after Wang Shumei.

Xie Wuwei looked at the cup of water in his hand, feeling both amused and helpless. He placed the cup on Lin Ruotang's desk before leaving.

Lin Ruotang has something to talk to Wang Shumei about.

When she was having lunch, she sat with Wang Shumei and angrily spoke ill of Liu Yan.

"Liu Yan went to see Director Zhou alone again and complained about me again. This woman is so annoying! Sooner or later, I will deal with her!"

Wang Shumei's expression changed, and she asked tentatively:

"What does Director Zhou want to see you about?"

"It's about Ono Jiro last night."

Wang Shumei saw Lin Ruotang talking freely, and she was speculating in her heart, but she ate her meal without any expression.

She felt helpless. Lin Ruotang came to complain again. If she could deal with Liu Yan, she would have done it long ago.

Director Zhou wants to clean up the mess, but I don’t know why he hasn’t taken any action yet?

Wang Shumei had a headache. The intelligence department was becoming increasingly chaotic. She could only say:

"Okay, I see."

Lin Ruotang was satisfied and continued eating.

In the afternoon, Wang Shumei brought out a lot of reports, and Liu Yan got the most and the most complicated ones.

After Wang Shumei left, Liu Yan stood up, threw the documents, pointed at Lin Ruotang and said:

"Did you say something bad about me to Secretary Wang?"

"Yes!"

Lin Ruotang answered as he checked the information.

These words made Liu Yan so angry that her blood boiled. She turned around and saw Sun Lan's expression of enjoying the show. She couldn't hold back her expression and stood up suddenly.

She walked to Lin Ruotang's seat and slapped him.

"what!"

Sun Lan exclaimed, not knowing what she was thinking, she opened the door and shouted at the top of her voice:

"Someone come, Secretary Liu and Secretary Lin are fighting!"
