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

"I just went out to ask someone to identify it, and they found no signs of it being opened, so it's confirmed that there is no problem."

Hirota Naoki said with certainty.

"That's good."

Iwai Yu nodded slightly, thinking that he was being a little over-suspicious.

"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Yuan Shikai?"

Hirota Naoki asked in confusion.

“That’s not the case. After all, this is the first time I’ve met this person. Even though he is Secretary-General Su’s student, I still need to test him to feel at ease.

This has become a professional habit for me. I have been in this line of work for so many years that I can’t change it.”

Iwai Yuichi laughed.

He was just making fun of himself. He didn't really want to change. On the contrary, he felt it was very necessary.

Yuan Ye thought to himself, this Iwai Yuichi is really a cunning old fox. He has to be more careful when dealing with him in the future!

Fortunately, I had a bad feeling and didn't open it, otherwise I would have fallen into his trap and the consequences would have been disastrous.

But it’s okay. After passing this test, at least Iwai Yuichi can feel at ease with himself for the time being.

Yuan Ye had already looked at several scrolls and had spent more than ten minutes. He was recording them as he looked.

His idea was to register all the works before selecting the appropriate ones, and to make necessary explanations for each one.

After registration, they are screened and selected, and finally fifty suitable works are determined.

He looked at the hundreds of works on the shelves and felt a little worried. It would take a lot of time to register them all.

Yuan Ye wondered if Iwai Yuichi had registered these works before. If so, it would save a lot of time. He decided to ask Iwai Yuichi.

He then opened the study door and came to Iwai Yuichi's office. Iwai Yuichi was looking at documents at his desk. He looked up and saw Yuan Ye walking to his desk. He smiled and asked:

"Shi Kaijun, are you having any problems?"

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

"Mr. Iwai, I would like to ask, have you registered these works before?

If not, I will register them all. If so, it will save a lot of time and make it easier for me to select works. "

"Oh, I see. Now I remember that I did register it before. It's my fault that I forgot to give it to you."

Iwai Yuichi said a little embarrassedly.

"Shi Kaijun, wait here for me, I'll get it for you."

After Iwai Yuichi finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the study. Yuan Ye heard Iwai Yuichi walk to the safe and stopped.

He thought that the registration book was actually kept in the safe, and he was delighted. This was a great opportunity, as he could actually hear the password to open the safe.

Yuan Ye listened more attentively. He heard Iwai Yuichi start turning the dial of the safe, turning it clockwise a few times, then counterclockwise a few times, and then twisting the lock handle. The cabinet door opened with a click. Yuan Ye memorized everything in his mind.

Iwai Yuichi took something out of the safe, closed the door, and then restored the turntable to its original state. He turned around and left the study, came to Yuan Ye, handed the booklet to Yuan Ye, and said:

"Shi Kai-kun, thank you for your hard work, but I hope you don't take this booklet out of Iwai Mansion. Use it here. And don't tell anyone about what's inside."

"Okay, don't worry, I will do as you ask."

Yuan Ye said.

He was actually very curious about what Iwai Yuichi meant. Was this booklet so important that it could only be used here and could not be taken out of the Iwai Residence?

Only when he returned to the study and opened the register did he find out what it was for?

It turns out that in addition to Iwai Yuichi's calligraphy works, the booklet also records his collection of calligraphy, paintings and antiques, many of which are very precious cultural relics.

Iwai Yuichi probably didn't want others to know. It's no wonder, because others might get jealous if they knew.

Yuan Ye continued with his work of selecting works, and before he knew it, it was almost noon. He said goodbye to Iwai Yuichi and left Iwai Mansion.

He planned to go to the safe house of Team 8 in the afternoon to find Li Hui and arrange the task of bribing Zhu Xiang, the chef of Fu Quan'an.

Shancheng Military Control Headquarters.

Mao Long went to the presidential palace attendant's room early in the morning as ordered by the bureau chief and fabricated a confidential document on foreign policy. For these penmen, it only took two or three hours.

Mao Long returned to the headquarters and immediately handed the task over to Zhou Yuanju. In just one morning, Zhou Yuanju had set up a special team for the Fox Hunting Operation.

Xu Shiguang, director of the Operations Department, gave the green light. Anyone Zhou Yuanju liked would be transferred to him. All those with strong professional abilities in the department were recruited into the special team by Zhou Yuanju, and specific tasks were divided. Everything was ready. Zhou Yuanju was full of confidence and was just waiting for the action to begin.

……

3pm.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building in Yamashiro.

Chen Zongming, head of the Japanese Section, was sitting in his office thinking about his own affairs, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know whether his decision to defect to the Japanese was the right one.

Ten days ago, someone secretly gave him a letter. He opened it and saw that it was written by his old superior Chen Lu. He knew that after Chen Lu went to Nanjing, he became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Reform Government. In the letter, Chen Lu advised him to follow him and promised him a high position and generous salary.

Chen Zongming was already pessimistic about the prospects of the War of Resistance, believing that the Japanese would sooner or later occupy the entire China, and was quickly moved by the contents of the letter.

So a few days later, he contacted the Japanese spy according to the method written in the letter and provided a confidential intelligence as a token of his surrender. The Japanese spy gave him a generous bonus.

He originally wanted to get in touch with his boss and then, with the help of Japanese spies, escape to Nanjing like Chen Lu and enjoy wealth and glory. But the Japanese spies said that the time was not right yet, so they asked him to temporarily hide in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to obtain more confidential information before the Japanese captured the mountain city.

Chen Zongming had no choice but to obey. He had already boarded the pirate ship and could not get off. When he saw the news that Chen Lu was sanctioned by the Military Control Commission published in the Shancheng newspaper, he felt a little regretful.

But he knew it was too late to regret. He could not turn himself in. Turning himself in would only lead to death. He did not want to end up in disgrace. Now he could only serve the Japanese and go down this path to the end.

He only hoped that the Japanese would capture the mountain city as soon as possible, end this life of fear, and fulfill their promise of high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

As he was thinking, there was a knock on the office door, and a voice asked outside the door:

"Section Chief Chen, are you in the office?"

Chen Zongming heard a familiar voice and quickly got up to open the door.
