No matter what Nanyun Masako asked, Yuan Ye was confident that he could handle it. He said calmly:

"Section Chief Nanyun, feel free to ask."

"Don't worry, this is the last question."

Nanyun Masako said with a barely perceptible smile on her face.

"Mr. Shi Kai, you have been in office for less than a month, and so many things have happened in the city government. Before you came, the city government seemed very peaceful. This makes people think a lot. Is this a coincidence? Or is there some kind of internal connection?"

"Section Chief Nanyun, I have to admire you, you have such a rich imagination.

It is indeed as you said, a lot of things have happened during the time I have been here, but these things have nothing to do with me and are not something I can control.

I also heard that Li Chengzong was a spy planted by the Military Control Commission in the municipal government. These things were all related to him and would have happened whether I was there or not.

What's more, I'm not the only one who joined the company during this period, so how could they contact me?

I think Section Chief Nanyun is such a smart man, he must be joking."

Yuan Ye said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I was really joking."

Nanyun Masako smiled a little awkwardly. Yuan Ye's answer was reasonable and all her temptations were resolved by him one by one. There was no flaw. It seemed that maybe she was overthinking it. She felt that there was nothing more to ask.

She went on to say:

"I see that Mr. Iwai thinks highly of you. How could I doubt you? Let's stop here today."

"Thank you for your trust, Section Chief Nanyun. I will return to my office now."

After Yuan Ye finished speaking, he stood up and left the meeting room. He knew that he had basically passed the test, but he couldn't let his guard down.

In fact, the three questions raised by Nanyun Masako were very targeted and very close to the truth. Unfortunately, her tests were only groundless and without any evidence to support them, so naturally she could not find the answers from him.

She never dreamed that I was the one she was looking for, but after this test, it should be able to dispel her doubts about herself.

Not long after Yuan Ye returned to the office, Nanyun Masako packed up her team and left. Today's investigation had basically yielded no results, and she was a little disappointed. She stopped thinking about it and prepared to devote her energy to the Hunter Plan.

After get off work, Yuan Ye finished his meal in the cafeteria, went out of the city government gate, called a rickshaw, and returned to the safe house in the French Concession, waiting for Chu Yuntian's arrival. He didn't know what Chu Yuntian wanted to talk to him about, but he had a feeling that it must be something very important, otherwise he would not come to see him in person.

Just after eight o'clock, Yuan Ye heard knocks on the courtyard door, three light knocks and three heavy knocks. In fact, he didn't even need to listen to the secret signal, he already knew that it was Chu Yuntian who came, and he was alone.

He opened the door and welcomed Chu Yuntian in. The two of them entered the inner room. Yuan Ye made him some tea. Chu Yuntian took a sip from the tea bowl and said with a smile:

"This tea is good. It's the newly released Longjing tea."

Yuan Ye also laughed and said:

"Knowing that the stationmaster was coming, I bought it at the tea shop. What do you want from me?"

Chu Yuntian put down the tea bowl and said:

"I do have something to talk to you about, but before I tell you, please report your work during this period."

"Ok."

So Yuan Ye first talked about bribing Zhu Xiang. Finally, he said:

"At the moment, we can only wait for Zhu Xiang to make a decision."

Chu Yuntian nodded and said:

"It seems that this is the only way now. He didn't sell Li Hui out to Fu Quan'an. I think there is still hope."

"That's how I see it, too."

Yuan Ye continued:

"Today, the investigation team came to the city government to investigate the murder of Chen Lu and two Japanese advisors."

Chu Yuntian became a little nervous when he heard this and said:

"Do you have doubts about you?"

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"Weren't they trying to find the mole in the city government? I let them find it."

"Oh, what did you do?"

Chu Yuntian became more curious.

Yuan Ye then simply recounted how he had killed Li Chengzong and buried his body, creating the illusion that Li Chengzong had escaped.

After listening to this, Chu Yuntian praised repeatedly:

"What a good trick to use someone else's trick. Only you can come up with it. This way, your suspicion is completely eliminated."

"That's true. Now the investigation team has basically determined that Li Chengzong is our man. However, we need to play the role well. We would like to trouble you to do some work at the station."

"What kind of job do you want me to do?"

Chu Yuntian asked curiously.

I thought, what is this kid up to?

"I want you to let out a little rumor in the station occasionally, saying that Li Chengzong is our man and that we have arranged for him to escape.

If the Japanese knew about it, they would be more certain and my safety would be more guaranteed."

Yuan Ye was thinking that there was no guarantee that there would not be traitors in the Shanghai Station in the future. Once a traitor appeared, the Japanese would definitely ask about Li Chengzong.

Chu Yuntian knew what Yuan Ye meant as soon as he heard it. He admired Yuan Ye's caution and said:

"Okay, I understand. You have thought it through very carefully. I will play this role well. It is not easy for you to achieve this step. You must ensure that the Japanese do not suspect you and continue to lurk smoothly.

Because you will play a greater role in this position, I have an important task to entrust to you now. "

When Yuan Ye heard this, he immediately sat up straight and asked:

"What's the important mission?"

Chu Yuntian said solemnly:

"This mission was personally assigned by the Director to you. The headquarters called yesterday and said that based on the intelligence you provided, the headquarters formulated a Fox Hunting Plan in order to catch the Silver Fox Group of Japanese spies lurking in the mountain city. Unfortunately, the operation failed. Although Chen Zongmin was captured, the Silver Fox Group escaped."

Yuan Ye's heart trembled, and he asked quickly:

"Why did it fail out of nowhere? What happened?"

Chu Yuntian sighed and said:

"The person in charge of the Fox Hunting Project was Zhou Yuanju, the former Nanjing Station Chief. He may have leaked the information to the Silver Fox Team, and he also absconded with his family afterwards.

It is estimated that he will come to Shanghai soon and surrender to the Japanese. The headquarters has ordered us to sanction Zhou Yuanju immediately if we find him. "

Yuan Ye thought that such good information he provided was wasted. He didn't know what those people in Shancheng were up to. They actually let Zhou Yuanju be the person in charge of the Fox Hunting Plan. It would be strange if it didn't fail.

What he was worried about was whether Zhou Yuanju knew the source of the information. If he knew, it would be terrible and he would be in danger.

Yuan Ye frowned and asked:

"Does Zhou Yuanju know that I provided this information?"

Chu Yuntian knew Yuan Ye’s worries and said:

"I asked him. He didn't know that the information was provided by you, but he might have guessed that there were our people in the Japanese camp."

Yuan Ye was relieved and nodded:

"That's for sure. This is indeed a bit troublesome. So what is my mission?"
