At around seven o'clock in the evening, Yuan Ye returned to the safe house and waited for Chu Yuntian's arrival.

At eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door, three heavy knocks and three light knocks. Yuan Ye knew Chu Yuntian was coming. He listened to the movement behind Chu Yuntian, and after confirming that it was safe, he opened the door and welcomed Chu Yuntian in.

Chu Yuntian looked radiant because after he made his report this morning, the station chief praised him in front of Xiang Shoushi. Of course, he did not tell him the source of the information. Xiang Shoushi looked unhappy. He had no idea where Chu Yuntian got such important information. He had lost in the competition for the position of deputy station chief. Now seeing Chu Yuntian becoming successful in the intelligence field again, he was filled with envy and jealousy.

However, he has made some progress recently. While No. 76 was recruiting troops, he successfully infiltrated a hidden team into No. 76.

After discussing with Chu Yuntian and Xiang Shoushi, Wang Tianwang decided to assassinate Sasaki and Chen Lu, and sent a telegram to the Shancheng headquarters requesting approval. Two hours later, the headquarters called and approved the assassination of Japanese adviser Colonel Sasaki, and Chen Lu told them not to worry about it.

Wang Tianwang was a little surprised. The assassination attempt on Chen Lu at Nanjing Station had failed not long ago. Chen Lu had become a frightened bird, and it would be extremely difficult to assassinate him again. But he would leave his old nest in seven days and show up in Shanghai, so there would be a chance to assassinate him. He didn't know what the headquarters was thinking. Maybe they had other arrangements.

Wang Tianwang ordered Chu Yuntian to immediately assassinate Japanese adviser Sasaki.

Yuan Ye and Chu Yuntian entered the inner room and made a cup of tea for Chu Yuntian. Seeing that Chu Yuntian was in a good mood, he smiled and said:

"Stationmaster, please try this tea. I knew you were coming, so I bought this tea for you."

Chu Yuntian picked up the teacup, wiped off the foam with the lid, took a sip, and said with satisfaction:

"Yes, it is really good tea. You have put in a lot of effort. Let's get back to the point. The stationmaster is very satisfied with the intelligence you provided this time. I didn't expect that you have obtained such important information in less than two days. The station's intention is of course to assassinate Sasaki and Chen Lu. This is a rare opportunity. We reported it to the Yamashiro headquarters. The headquarters approved the assassination of Sasaki, but the headquarters told us not to worry about the assassination of Chen Lu."

"Chen Lu's visit to Shanghai is a great opportunity. We should not miss it. Why doesn't the headquarters approve it?"

Yuan Ye was somewhat puzzled and somewhat regretful.

Chu Yuntian saw through Yuan Ye's thoughts. He actually had the same doubts, but he could only follow orders. He comforted Yuan Ye:

"Maybe the headquarters has other arrangements."

He continued:

"The stationmaster has ordered the Operations Department to immediately carry out the assassination of Sasaki. I think you are more familiar with the situation, so I would like to let your team take charge of it. What do you think?"

"No problem, I promise to complete the task."

Yuan Ye readily agreed. He could kill the devils and earn points at the same time, so why not?

"it is good!"

Chu Yuntian was very satisfied with Yuan Ye's statement. He thought, if the captains of other action teams were as outstanding as Yuan Ye, he would have less worries. He was glad that he had a good eye and promoted this young man to be the captain, who was also the youngest captain in the action department.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. The liaison station has been set up. Isn't your city government in Jiangwan? I opened a grocery store on Hubei Road in Jiangwan. It's called Hengyuan Grocery Store. It's very close to where you work. I let Gu Yan be in charge there. From now on, you can contact me directly through this liaison station. It's more efficient. The dead mailbox is only for backup. I've finished talking about my business, Captain Yuan, it's time to talk about your business."

"Okay, Station Master, you are very thoughtful. I do have something to report to you, and it is very necessary."

Yuan Ye said solemnly.

"Okay, tell me."

When Chu Yuntian saw Yuan Ye's expression, he knew that what he was about to report might be very important, and his expression became focused.

"Stationmaster, this time Fu Quan'an's request for the concession to change its flag is still in the stage of drafting a circular. I guess only the secretarial department knows about it. If we react too early, I'm afraid I will be suspected, which will be detrimental to my future lurking."

"Well, I understand. What you said makes sense. I'll talk to the stationmaster when I get back."

Chu Yuntian agreed with Yuan Ye's concerns. He also believed that the change of flag in the concession was more about form than substance. If the matter had not been made public, how much effect would it have if they reacted in advance, protested, or exposed it in the newspaper? Instead, it would alert Fu Quan'an and make him suspect that someone in the Secretary Section had leaked the secret, causing unnecessary trouble for Yuan Ye's undercover work.

Yuan Ye continued:

"Then I'll let the stationmaster take care of it. There is another thing. The former mayor and current secretary general of the municipal government, Su Xiwu, used to be the president of Chizhi University and was also my former teacher. I approached him as his student and learned some information. He was a classmate of Iwai Yuichi, the deputy consul of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. Iwai Yuichi was also the head of the Iwai Mansion, a secret agency of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This person is Su Xiwu's Japanese backer.

He and Su Xiwu both like calligraphy and Go, which I also specialize in. Su Xiwu said he would bring me to meet Iwai Yuichi when he has time. I think this is a good opportunity to get close to Iwai Yuichi and hopefully get more information.

"This is indeed a good opportunity, but you have to be vigilant. Iwai Yuichi is a very cunning man. Don't rush into anything and make reckless moves. You must pay attention to safety."

Chu Yuntian was still a little worried. Yuan Ye was young after all. Judging from his resume, he had not received professional agent training. Although he was very capable and smart, it was still questionable whether he could cope with an experienced old spy. If he was greedy and reckless and exposed himself, he would not want to lose a capable subordinate. From his heart, he actually did not want Yuan Ye to contact the head of a spy agency too early, but this was indeed a rare opportunity, so he could only remind him kindly.

"Thank you for your reminder and concern, Station Master. I will be careful. There is one more thing about Fu Quan'an. I have an idea that I would like to report to you."

Yuan Ye thought he might as well let it all out first.

"Do you want to assassinate Fu Quan'an? He is the person that the principal has designated as a target for sanctions, but his security has always been very tight. We have never had a chance to kill him and are still waiting for the right opportunity. You must not act rashly and put yourself in danger. The headquarters and the station have high expectations of you, and you will play a greater role in the future."

Chu Yuntian's love for talent is evident in his words.

"Stationmaster, don't worry. I won't take risks easily. You don't need me to kill him. Maybe someone else will kill him."

"Oh, who is it?"

Chu Yuntian was obviously in high spirits.
