Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 953 Urgency

Time passed quickly, and night fell.

Manchuria.

On the outskirts of Harbin, in an abandoned mountain temple, Chen Gongshu dropped the blood-stained whip in his hand.

A middle-aged man lay slumped in front of him.

It was none other than Ichiro Shibuya.

"Shit!"

"You were so tough, but you've confessed now!"

"Tell me, what is the name of the Kwantung Army's frontline spy planted at the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters?"

After enduring more than eight hours of hellish torture, Shibuya Ichiro, this arrogant fool, finally succumbed. He was on his deathbed.

Faced with death, this number two figure on the Kwantung Army's intelligence front was on the verge of collapse.

He confessed.

"It's Chen Ke from the secretary's office..."

Shibuya Ichiro's body trembled, and it took a great deal of effort for him to utter a name.

"Send a telegram to headquarters to verify the authenticity of this message!"

Chen Gongshu had been waiting for this information for a long time. As soon as he got his hands on it, he immediately notified the electrical operator in the team to contact the headquarters in the mountain city urgently.

The reply telegram from the headquarters in the mountain city arrived quickly.

There is only one line of text.

All suspicious persons have been eliminated...

Chen Gongshu was a veteran of the Military Intelligence Bureau, so he was naturally familiar with its methods. When he saw this line of text, Chen Gongshu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had already guessed the truth of the matter.

Are you heartbroken?

Perhaps so, but Chen Gongshu knew even more clearly that this was a choice he had no other option to make.

The final action is imminent.

If it were him, sitting in Ye Shaohong's position, he would have given the same order.

Don't think it's cruel; this is the fate that intelligence agents deserve.

You can't blame anyone else.

But Chen Gongshu was still wrong.

This time, the person who issued such a cruel order was not Ye Shaohong.

It was Mao Renfeng.

Ye Shaohong simply watched the show from the sidelines.

Of course, Ye Shaohong was not innocent either.

His hands were also stained with blood.

This is how those in positions of power think: they are willing to sacrifice a great deal for a particular goal or purpose.

Chen Gongshu even suspected that if it were his turn one day, the bigwigs above would not hesitate at all.

"Value!"

"Only by demonstrating sufficient value can I survive in this chaotic world."

As he muttered to himself, Chen Gongshu looked at Shibuya Ichiro lying on the ground.

He smiled.

Chen Gongshu knew that he didn't need to worry about these things now.

There's no need to worry about his superiors betraying him.

Because he is very valuable. And Shibuya Ichiro is the most valuable asset he holds in his hands.

Next, we should inquire about the secret information about the Kwantung Army that Shibuya Ichiro knew.

I wonder how well it went?

Thinking to himself, Chen Gongshu looked up and glanced at Shanzi, who immediately picked up a bucket of cold water from the corner of the wall.

It was poured directly onto Shibuya Ichiro.

This revitalized the man who was nearly unconscious.

"Tell me about it."

“Tell me all the classified information you know.”

"If you cooperate honestly, I might consider giving you a way out!"

"Really...really?"

Shibuya Ichiro struggled to lift his head, a hint of anticipation appearing on his blood-soaked face.

But this glimmer of hope was far too faint.

Perhaps even Ichiro Shibuya himself didn't believe that Chen Gongshu would let him go.

"Hey!"

"You don't believe me?"

"Alright, I'll give you a hope now."

"Listen carefully."

Chen Gongshu raised an eyebrow, seemingly genuinely considering taking action.

After a while.

Chen Gongshu suddenly raised his hand and beckoned a member of the action team to enter from outside the door.

With a flourish of his pen, he wrote down a line of text.

He raised his hand and handed it to the man. "Let him see!"

"Let him know that we keep our word."

The operative who was summoned reluctantly placed the note in front of Shibuya Ichiro after hearing the instructions.

Ichiro Shibuya understands Chinese characters.

He calls himself an expert on China.

With a quick glance down, Shibuya Ichiro immediately recognized what Chen Gongshu had written.

This is a document to be exchanged with the high command of the Kwantung Army regarding information on detainees.

Several people's names were clearly written inside.

Among those people were individuals he, Shibuya Ichiro, had personally arrested. Shibuya Ichiro knew very well that these people were core members of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

He was once a high-ranking official in the Manchurian region. Chen Gongshu wanted to use him to exchange for those who had been arrested. Although Shibuya Ichiro couldn't believe it all, he also felt a glimmer of hope.

After thinking for a moment, Shibuya Ichiro reached into his robes and pulled out a bloodstained medal.

He shoved the hand down onto the operative's hand.

He was proving his identity, and also proving to the Kwantung Army that he was still alive.

Seeing this, Chen Gongshu smiled.

He knew that his plan had succeeded, and Ye Shaohong's plan was also progressing well along the expected trajectory.

So far, the most difficult step in the plan has been basically completed.

Next, we just need to wait patiently.

of course.

While waiting, Chen Gongshu still wanted to collect some benefits.

He made a deal with Shibuya Ichiro by offering him a chance to live, but it wasn't just to lure Shibuya Ichiro into a trap.

He also wanted the classified information hidden in Shibuya Ichiro's head.

This was originally a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

This is the method Chen Gongshu used to gain Shibuya Ichiro's trust. Now that Chen Gongshu has shown his attitude, Shibuya Ichiro should also show his sincerity.

Shibuya Ichiro had a chance to live, and of course he was unwilling to die.

Therefore, he gave up the principles he held dear.

He began to selectively recount some classified information about the Kwantung Army.

As for whether it's true or false, or rather, how much is true and how much is false, only Shibuya Ichiro himself knows the answer. Chen Gongshu, however, doesn't care.

He simply followed the interrogation procedure, made a few repetitive confirmations, and then reported all the information he had obtained to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Chongqing.

The follow-up work of verifying the authenticity of intelligence is naturally taken over by headquarters personnel.

There's no need for Chen Gongshu to worry about it.

At this point, his operation was basically halfway complete, with only the final finishing touches remaining.

More than two hours later, the operative who had gone to Harbin to deliver the message to the Special Higher Police returned.

He reported that the message had been delivered.

The Japanese Special Higher Police in Harbin have already begun to take action; their internal situation is in chaos.

They must be urgently verifying the authenticity of this message.

If nothing unexpected happens, once the truth of the news is confirmed, the Japanese should come and trade with us according to their terms.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gongshu raised his arm and looked at the watch on his wrist.

"Four hours left!"

"let's go!"
