Chapter 917 The Spy's Trail

For reasons of confidentiality, Dai Yunong did not elaborate on the matter over the phone.

Ye Shaohong could only return to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau with doubts.

They knocked directly on the door of Dai Yunong's office.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong approach, Dai Yunong, who was engrossed in writing, immediately stopped.

He raised his hand and beckoned Ye Shaohong to come closer.

Then, Dai Yunong handed Ye Shaohong a translated original telegram.

"have a look."

"This is a very troublesome matter and must be resolved immediately!"

After saying this, Dai Yunong leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing how aggrieved he was.

"it is good!"

After a brief response, Ye Shaohong immediately looked down to examine the telegram in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Ye Shaohong's face darkened.

"Are there spies within the East Asian Army at headquarters?"

"Director, is this news confirmed?"

Ye Shaohong had no choice but to be cautious, as this matter was of utmost importance.

Last month, he had just dispatched Special Agent Group No. 5 to Harbin outside the Great Wall to contact Yan Shuangying.

He was tasked with rebuilding the Harbin station of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

To this end, Ye Shaohong also selected many elite personnel for Yan Shuangying from branches across the country.

They were instructed to infiltrate Manchuria through various channels.

Ye Shaohong had high hopes for this. But before he could even make a move, he suddenly received this news.

How could Ye Shaohong possibly remain calm?

"It shouldn't be wrong!"

"This message was forwarded through special channels."

"You should know that on matters of great importance concerning the nation..."

Dai Yunong stopped talking at the end.

As a core member of the Nationalist government, there are some things he really can't say.

Ye Shaohong already knew and understood the deeper meaning hidden within.

Ye Shaohong nodded solemnly.

"really!"

"We definitely need to take this intelligence seriously."

Ye Shaohong agrees with this view, which is not about political inclination, but about national righteousness.

Even if Ye Shaohong expressed his agreement, Dai Yunong would not doubt him too much.

"Yes!"

"It is precisely because I understand the situation that I specifically called you over."

"Shao Hong, you are the most skilled investigator in our Military Intelligence Bureau, adept at finding and investigating Japanese spies. We can only rely on you for this!"

Dai Yunong said solemnly.

As for how much of what he said was genuine and how much was hypocritical flattery, Ye Shaohong no longer cared.

Because he suddenly remembered something.

That is the truth behind the destruction of the Harbin Railway Station in Manchuria.

According to the information relayed back from the Harbin Station last time, the station was destroyed due to its accidental exposure. This is why it was besieged by the Manchurian Harbin Station Police Department and the Special Higher Police.

Ye Shaohong and the others had never suspected anything before.

This kind of thing is very common in the intelligence industry. Don't be fooled by their experience as seasoned agents; they can lose their lives if they are even slightly careless.

After all, that was Japanese-occupied territory.

They can mobilize the forces they rely on, and they need more of them.

Even Ye Shaohong himself has been extremely cautious recently when he travels to Tianjin and Shanghai to carry out the tasks assigned by Dai Yunong.

Even so, they suffered considerable casualties during their operation.

This is the cruelty of the intelligence industry.

The same would have happened to Ye Shaohong and his group.

Previously in Nanjing, Ye Shaohong was able to crack down on the Japanese infiltration teams one after another, which was not only due to his own abilities but also the advantage of fighting on home soil.

This is an undeniable fact.

"Director."

"You mean, last time at Harbin Station..."

"Ok?"

"Shao Hong, do you suspect that the destruction of Harbin Station last time was related to that Kwantung Army spy who had infiltrated our ranks?"

As the big boss of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Dai Yunong's intelligence and talent are beyond doubt.

Ye Shaohong merely offered a suggestion, but Dai Yunong immediately and astutely noticed the problem.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately picked up the internal telephone on the table and dialed the number.

"Qi Wu".

"Come over here right now, immediately!" After hanging up the phone, Dai Yunong did not have any further conversation with Ye Shaohong.

Instead, he frowned and began to ponder to himself.

A few minutes later.

The office door was pushed open, and Mao Renfeng, with a large belly, strode in.

"Director."

"What do you want from me?"

"Ah."

"Have you seen the encrypted telegram that just came from Harbin Station?"

"I've seen it, and I'm also troubled by this matter."

"It's good that you've seen it. Shao Hong, tell him your guesses and suspicions!"

Dai Yunong nodded, then turned to look at Ye Shaohong. "Yes!"

"Brother Mao, here's what happened..."

Ye Shaohong briefly explained to Mao Renfeng the problem he had just discovered and the doubts that had arisen in his heart.

As Ye Shaohong spoke, Mao Renfeng's expression grew increasingly grim.

For nothing else.

If Ye Shaohong's guess is true, then the Kwantung Army's spies planted within the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters are most likely to be hidden in only three departments.

Archives, external storage area, and secretariat.

Apart from these three key departments, given the current mature power structure of the Military Intelligence Bureau, members of other departments would have absolutely no chance of accessing information about personnel in local branches.

Of these three crucial departments, the one located outside the office is the least suspicious. The reason is simple.

If that Kwantung Army spy was indeed hiding in an outer post, then the outer post had the authority to manage the files of all personnel in the occupied areas of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Therefore, the Harbin Station was definitely not the only one that was exposed and destroyed this time.

It is likely that all the stations in the occupied areas will be completely destroyed.

The same applies to the archives.

To be precise, the authority of the archives is indeed not as high as that of the ten departments and three offices.

The archives contain even more top-secret information, and all the personnel there have been carefully selected.

If there is a problem in the archives, the damage caused, while not as great as if there were a problem in an external location, is certainly not limited to that.

"Shao Hong!"

"Are you saying that there might be a traitor in our secretariat?" When it came to his own headquarters, even Mao Renfeng, the notorious smiling tiger within the Military Intelligence Bureau, couldn't keep a smile on his face.

For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on that chubby, round face.

His narrow eyes flashed with a cold light.

This is a sign that he intends to kill.

"Brother Mao."

"Don't get agitated. I'm just saying, it's possible."

"Of course, there is another possibility: that a member of the secretariat accidentally leaked the information, and a spy planted in our headquarters by the Kwantung Army found out about the situation, which led to this terrible consequence!"
