Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 323 Being Tailed
Right after the call, Yang Xuewu suddenly felt something was wrong, because he had a vague feeling that someone was watching him.

Seeing that Yang Xuewu looked unhappy, Xiang Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"I feel like something is wrong. Were you being watched on the road?"

"Impossible, I tried several times on the road, and I didn't find anyone following me." Xiang Yuan said in a low voice.

After saying this, Xiang Yuan was about to turn around to check, but Yang Xuewu quickly dissuaded him, "Don't turn around for now, I'll observe first."

Yang Xuewu's sixth sense was quite sharp, and he quickly locked onto a person because this person had just glanced at him and Xiang Yuan. Although they only looked at each other for a moment, Yang Xuewu's long experience in fighting enemies still made him feel that there was something wrong with that person.

"found it."

Xiang Yuan was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that he was actually being followed.

"What should we do now?" Xiang Yuan asked.

After thinking for a while, Yang Xuewu decided to get rid of the man who was following them, but before he could move, the man realized something was wrong and ran away.

At this time, Yang Xuewu had no time to explain to Xiang Yuan and hurriedly chased after him. However, there was one factor that affected Yang Xuewu at this time, that was the crowds coming and going, and he couldn't run away at all. Although he had extraordinary speed, he couldn't use his full speed at this time.

By the time he caught up with the man, he had disappeared.

Ten seconds later, Xiang Yuan came to his side, glanced around and asked, "Where are the people?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu frowned and said to Xiang Yuan unwillingly, "The person ran away."

Xiang Yuan's face turned ugly when he heard this. He was also a veteran, but he didn't expect to be followed and the contact person's appearance was exposed.

If the headquarters knew about this, they would definitely criticize him for his incompetence. If the contact person got into trouble because of his negligence, I'm afraid the headquarters would severely punish him.

Looking at the busy streets, Yang Xuewu felt unwilling. If there were no pedestrians stopping him, the stalker would definitely not be able to escape.

After searching the place for a while and finding no trace of the man, Yang Xuewu turned to Xiang Yuan and said, "Is there a safe place for us to talk?"

"Yes, follow me."

Xiang Yuan led the way and Yang Xuewu followed. Ten minutes later, the two walked into a pub.

When they arrived at the tavern's private room and the food and drinks were served, Xiang Yuan explained, "This tavern is owned by my cousin. No one knows my relationship with him. It's absolutely safe here."

Although Yang Xuewu was a little skeptical about Xiang Yuan's "absoluteness", at this moment he could only believe that the place Xiang Yuan brought him to was safe.

"As long as you're safe, where did you leave from today to get to the meeting point?" Yang Xuewu asked.

"I left the station. I was the only one who left at that time. I repeated the anti-tracking techniques several times, but didn't find anyone following me. I was careless." Xiang Yuan said angrily.

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu thought for a moment and replied, "If you were followed when you left the station, then there must be a traitor in your station."

Xiang Yuan did not object to Yang Xuewu's judgment. Harbin had been run by the Japanese for several years, and the Japanese were deeply rooted. It was not surprising that they had a traitor in their station.

But what Xiang Yuan couldn't accept was that he had taken various anti-tracking measures, but was still being tracked. This indirectly reflected one thing: either the person who was tracking him had very strong tracking ability, or he himself was incompetent.

"Let me tell you about the man's characteristics. He is about 1.6 meters tall. Although he is wrapped up tightly and looks like a woman, I am sure that he is a man. His Adam's apple betrays him. If you want to check him, a man about 1.6 meters tall is your target." Hearing this, Xiang Yuan nodded and said, "I understand. I will check it out when I go down. Now let's talk about the mission. The headquarters only told me to fully cooperate with you in carrying out the mission, but did not tell me the content of the mission."

"Okay, here's what happened..."

After hearing the entire mission content, Xiang Yuan was dumbfounded. The Japanese had established a bacteriological research institute in Harbin, but he, the station chief of the South Manchuria Station, didn't know about it, but the headquarters knew about it first. It was his dereliction of duty.

"Brother, can I ask the headquarters where the information came from?" Xiang Yuan asked in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuewu thought for a while and decided to tell Xiang Yuan, since Yoshiko Kawashima was already dead anyway.

"I can tell you this. Do you know Yoshiko Kawashima?"

"Yes, you mean the source of this news is Yoshiko Kawashima?"

"Yes, this is top secret. Telling you is already a violation. Please don't leak this information. Otherwise, not only will you be severely punished, but I will also be punished."

"I understand. I won't tell anyone else." Xiang Yuan nodded solemnly.

At the same time, he felt relieved. He knew the power of Yoshiko Kawashima. If the headquarters learned this news from Yoshiko Kawashima, it would not be considered dereliction of duty.

"Your next task is to determine the location of the Japanese bacteriological research institute. I can give you a reference."

"The Japanese bacteriological research institute must have been well guarded, and the area is very large. Given the importance the Japanese place on the bacteriological research institute, there must be related industries to cover up for the bacteriological research institute. You must remember not to be fooled by the Japanese's tricks."

"Also, you must keep it secret and send someone you trust to investigate. But be careful. If the news leaks, you could risk your life."

"Don't worry about the specific actions. I will carry them out personally. You just need to find out the location."

Xiang Yuan nodded upon hearing this. The fact that Yang Xuewu was able to find the person who was following him today showed that he was much more capable than him. This mission was too important and he was not sure he could complete it, so he just had to help gather information. It would be best to leave the mission to someone capable.

"That's it, then. If we need to get in touch, we can still post the same missing person notice, but the next meeting place will be this pub. Is that okay with you?"

"I'm OK."

"That's good. Go back and find the traitor as soon as possible. If this traitor exists, he will always be a threat to you."

Hearing this, Xiang Yuan nodded and said, "I understand. I will investigate when I get back. If I find out, I will make sure that he is killed without a burial place." Xiang Yuan said angrily.

……

On the other side, the 1.6-meter-tall man fled from the entrance of Central Street with lingering fear. He felt as if he had just been targeted by a tiger that was ready to eat its prey. If he had not escaped quickly, he would have definitely been killed today.

After escaping to a safe place, the man came to the Harbin Police Department and told the guard that he wanted to see Gao Lin.

The guard quickly notified Gao Lin, who immediately had the man brought to the office.

"Xiao Wu, is there any news?" Gao Lin asked nervously after closing the office door.

Hearing this, the man called Xiao Wu nodded. Seeing Xiao Wu nod, Gao Lin was extremely happy. If he could catch the Chinese agent before the Japanese this time, he would have made a great contribution. Considering how much importance Hanatani Shinichi attached to that Chinese agent, that Chinese agent was very important.
