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

This made Yuan Ye think hard. If he told him, would he think that he was not careful enough and leaked secrets easily? Was he like this in the past?

If I don't tell him, will he think that I am not telling him the truth and therefore don't trust me?

After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Ye felt that he should still tell Iwai Yuichi. Since he already knew about it but pretended not to know, he must be trying to test whether he was of the same mind as him. Otherwise, why would he do this? It would be a waste of time.

So if you want to gain his trust, you have to tell him.

But he still needs to pay attention to the method and approach. Yuan Ye said seriously:

"Mayor Fu has assigned two tasks to our department. These two tasks are still confidential at the moment, but they will no longer be secrets soon.

Although it will no longer be a secret in the future, it must not be leaked now. Once leaked, it may have an adverse impact on the execution of these two things, and I am afraid I cannot take this responsibility.

I tell you it's okay, but you must promise not to let anyone else know."

Yuan Ye finished speaking, looking worried.

Iwai Yuichi thought to himself that this young man was cautious and prudent, and his actions were reassuring.

He has not agreed to enter Iwai Mansion yet, and he is not my person yet. He is just helping me. It is normal for him to be unwilling to tell me frankly and have this attitude.

In fact, he had already guessed what these two things were. They should be the two things that Fu Quan'an told him, but he still admired Yuan Ye's cautious attitude.

He smiled and said:

"You can tell me, don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone else."

After seeing Iwai Yuichi's assurance, Yuan Ye seemed relieved, so he told Iwai Yuichi about the recovery of the judicial power of the concession and the police power in the area where road construction crossed the boundary.

But he did not tell Iwai Yuichi that Fu Quan'an asked Zhang Shicheng to negotiate with the concession authorities.

Because at this stage, he is not qualified to know, nor should he know this matter. It was only Chai Ruhai who told him because of personal relationships.

Iwai Yuichi probably doesn't know about this yet. If I tell him, it seems that I will gain more of his trust, but it may also arouse his suspicion. How could I know something I shouldn't know? It may even cause him to associate it with previous events, which is not good. It is also not good for Chai Ruhai.

Moreover, if Shancheng decided to take action against Zhang Shicheng, once Zhang Shicheng was killed, he would inevitably be suspected.

How could he let this happen? He absolutely could not let this happen.

Iwai Yuichi was very satisfied, he felt that his goal had been achieved. He was indeed testing Yuan Ye, this was his second time testing Yuan Ye, the first time was through Su Xiwu to let Yuan Ye send him confidential documents, if he opened it, he would undoubtedly be an anti-Japanese element, facts proved that Yuan Ye did not open the documents, he passed the test.

This time, the test was whether Yuan Ye was trustworthy and whether he was telling the truth to himself. In the end, it was proved that this person was still relatively reassuring.

He admired Yuan Ye's talent, otherwise he would not have wanted to recruit a Chinese to Iwai Mansion. There was no precedent before, so of course he had to be cautious and ensure absolute reliability. Therefore, testing him was very necessary and essential.

At least for now, it seems that I was not wrong about him.

Iwai Yuichi smiled and said:

"This is the first time I've heard of this. Mayor Fu is quite thoughtful."

He picked up his glass and said:

"I wish you success in your work, Shi Kaijun. Let's drink this cup together."

"Okay, I'll take your good words."

Yuan Ye picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

……

After dinner, Yuan Ye followed Iwai Yuichi back to the office. In the corridor outside the office, the remaining fifteen agents waiting to be summoned had lined up in a long queue. When Yuan Ye passed by, he glanced at them inadvertently and remembered their faces firmly in his mind.

Iwai Yuichi did not rest. As soon as he entered the office, he started talking to everyone. Yuan Ye was naturally not idle in the study either. He started the same work as in the morning.

It took about three hours. At four o'clock, Iwai Yuichi finished the conversation, and Yuan Ye also completed the sketching and explanation work at the same time. He put the information into the space and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't leave right away, so he decided to spend another hour organizing his calligraphy works before leaving, which would be more appropriate.

Iwai Yuichi did not go into the study immediately. He was still thinking in the office. He had to determine the candidates for the ten agents to be sent to Wuhan. After a day of conversation, the candidates had basically been decided. After repeated consideration for a while, he finally decided on the candidates and wrote them down in his notebook with satisfaction.

He said to Naoki Hirota beside him:

“Hirota-kun, send a telegram to the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters and tell General Gangcun that the people he wants will leave for Wuhan in two days.

You should train them again in the next two days. After all, this is their first time to carry out a hidden mission, so it is still necessary."

"Okay, I see."

Hirota Naoki finished speaking and walked out of the office.

Then Iwai Yuichi got up and went into the study. He saw Yuan Ye buried in a pile of works, appreciating them seriously. He said to Yuan Ye:

"Shi Kaijun, excuse me for interrupting you. Please wait for me in the office."

Yuan Ye looked up and saw Iwai Yuichi standing by the door with a notebook in his hand. He quickly stood up and said:

"Okay, Mr. Iwai."

After saying that, he walked out of the study. He knew that Iwai Yuichi wanted to put the notebook in the safe, as it would be inconvenient for him to stay in the study. He thought that this notebook must be very important and the content on it must be very confidential.

As soon as Yuan Ye left the study, Iwai Yuichi immediately closed the study door and quickly walked to the safe.

Yuan Ye sat on the chair in the office, listening quietly to the movements in the study. He could hear every move of Iwai Yuichi. He heard Iwai Yuichi opening the door of the safe. The password had not changed and was the same as he heard last time.

This made Yuan Ye feel relieved, as it meant that Iwai Yuichi did not change his password frequently. Yuan Ye had this worry before, but fortunately this did not happen. It seemed that Iwai Yuichi was still very confident, and he might also be afraid that he would not be able to remember his password if he changed it frequently.

He heard Iwai Yuichi put the notebook into the safe, then closed the door and changed the password.

Then he walked out of the study and said to Yuan Ye:

"Shi Kaijun, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Yuan Ye immediately stood up and said:

"It's okay, I'll just work on it and it will be almost done. I have a few questions about your work that I'd like to discuss with you."

"Okay."

Iwai Yuichi agreed readily and walked into the study with Yuan Ye.

……

Early this morning, Major Takashi Yamashita, known as the Empire's "Sniper God," and his student, Second Lieutenant Ken Mizutani, set out from Nanjing as agreed.
