Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

The guard then asked other guards to search the room for Jiro Matsumoto to see if he was in other rooms.

But after they searched all the rooms, they still couldn't find any trace of Jiro Matsumoto.

"Has any of you seen Matsumoto-kun?" asked Mikio Mano. Mikio Mano was considered the chief of guards for Jiro Matsumoto, and it was he who went to Jiro Matsumoto's room and called him just now.

Everyone shook their heads upon hearing this. They had not seen Jiro Matsumoto since he went to bed last night.

At this moment, there was a sudden cry, "Come here quickly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone ran towards the direction of the sound and soon arrived at a room, which was Jiro Matsumoto's study.

"Takai, what happened?" asked Mano Mikio.

"Mano-kun, look." The guard named Takai said, pointing at the safe.

Seeing that the safe door was open and there was nothing inside, Mano Mikio suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"Do you think Matsumoto-kun has been kidnapped?" one of the guards whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mano Kan'ao stopped him.

In fact, his judgment was similar to that of the guard who had just spoken. Jiro Matsumoto suddenly disappeared, and the things in the safe were also missing. It was hard not to think that Jiro Matsumoto had been kidnapped.

"No one is allowed to leave from now on. I'm going to call the class to see if Matsumoto-kun has gone to work. If Matsumoto-kun has not gone to work, he will ask someone from the class to investigate."

After receiving the news, the Special High Police immediately sent people. Among the people who came was someone Yang Xuewu was familiar with. This person was Ono Akira, who was repeatedly defeated by Yang Xuewu. After careful investigation, the Special High Police found the footprints left by Yang Xuewu in the corner of the wall. Then Ono Akira judged that Matsumoto Jiro had been captured.

After confirming the news, the Special High Section did not dare to conceal it and immediately reported it to their superiors.

Soon after, people from many departments came to Jiro Matsumoto's home to participate in the investigation, but they found nothing.

The Special High Police cannot be in chaos, and finally the Japanese top brass had no choice but to decide to search the entire city for Jiro Matsumoto's whereabouts, and then let Ono Akira temporarily serve as the head of the Special High Police.

……

On the other side, Yang Xuewu left the Anti-Japanese and Anti-Traitor Group base and rushed towards Gong Xue's residence.

Now that Jiro Matsumoto has been caught by him, there is nothing important to do at the moment, so he plans to go see Gong Xue.

Last time he suspected that Gong Xue must have other purposes for meeting him by chance, otherwise she would not have happened to meet Yang Xuewu on the road that Yang Xuewu had to pass, and Yang Xuewu felt that Tan Wenxia was involved in this matter.

Not long after, Yang Xuewu came to Gong Xue's residence and knocked on her door.

"Who is it?" As an agent, Gong Xue was still alert. She did not open the door directly, but asked the identity of the person outside.

"Gong Xue, it's me."

Hearing Yang Xuewu's voice, Gong Xue was stunned, then immediately opened the door and let Yang Xuewu in.

"I have nothing to do today, so I came to see you. Don't you have classes today?" Yang Xuewu asked.

"Yes, but my class is in the afternoon."

"That's good. If I miss the opportunity for you as a teacher to teach the children and delay their studies, I will be committing a great sin." Yang Xuewu joked.

Although Yang Xuewu can still talk to Gong Xue freely now, their relationship can no longer return to the time when they were in Jinling, because they now have their own hidden identities. "Haha, how could that be? Come and sit down. I'm going to make lunch. Let's eat together today."

"Okay, then I'll taste Miss Gong's cooking today." Yang Xuewu said with a smile.

While Gong Xue was cooking, Yang Xuewu looked around Gong Xue's room. Gong Xue's room was very simple and clean, which was what a secret agent's room should have.

Seeing the layout of Gong Xue's room, Yang Xuewu couldn't help but nod his head. Gong Xue seemed to have grown a lot in the past year.

Gong Xue, who was cooking, was very confused at this time. She didn't expect Yang Xuewu to come today. To be precise, she was not ready to confront Yang Xuewu.

Half an hour later, Gong Xue prepared the meal. The meal was very simple, with only one dish, stir-fried cabbage, and the rice was egg noodles.

Although this meal is simple, it is considered a good meal during this time of war.

After the meal, Yang Xuewu smoked calmly, while Gong Xue was very flustered. She wanted to speak several times but didn't know how to start.

After washing the dishes, Gong Xue came to the table with a complicated expression and looked at Yang Xuewu, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Gong Xue, we are old friends, just say whatever you want to say." Seeing Gong Xue's hesitant expression, Yang Xuewu smiled secretly in his heart and shook his head and said to Gong Xue.

"Yang Xuewu, I don't know what to say..." Gong Xue replied after hesitating.

"Gong Xue, since you don't know what to say, let me tell you. I actually met you in Shanghai a long time ago."

Hearing this, Gong Xue was shocked and looked at Yang Xuewu in disbelief. She was very panicked at the moment.

"Are you asking me now if I know your identity? I can tell you clearly that I know."

"The first time I saw you was in a tailor shop. He was your superior, codenamed Old Fox."

Hearing this, Gong Xue turned pale with fright. She didn't expect that Yang Xuewu not only knew her identity, but also knew the identity of the old fox.

"Gong Xue, don't be surprised or afraid. If I want to harm you, I'm afraid even the boatman in your organization won't be able to escape."

"I think you still remember a man codenamed 'Drunkard'?"

Hearing this, Gong Xueru was struck by lightning and trembled as she said, "Did you kill the drunkard?"

"Yes, when I first saw you, you were about to meet up with the drunkard, but later the drunkard was caught and betrayed you and your superiors. Since we are friends, I helped you get rid of him. I believe you must have received the news from your superiors."

Hearing this, Gong Xue nodded with a confused look in her eyes. At this moment, she really didn't know what to say.

As an agent, she should stay awake at all times, but Yang Xuewu's words shocked her so much that she lost her composure.

Gong Xue was also filled with fear. Fortunately, it was Yang Xuewu who targeted her. If someone else had targeted her, not only would she be in trouble, but the entire Shanghai underground party would also be implicated.

"Gong Xue, tell me what you want from me. I don't believe you just happened to appear on that street that day."

Hearing this, Gong Xue looked at Yang Xuewu with a complicated expression. Only at this moment did she truly realize how terrifying Yang Xuewu was. She felt like a transparent person in front of this man, and everything about her was seen through by this man.

"Yang Xuewu, since you have no ill will towards our organization and have even helped us, are you willing to join us and fight the Japanese together with us?" After thinking for a while, Gong Xue asked expectantly.

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu did not hesitate at all and replied directly: "No, I am enough to deal with the Japanese by myself, I don't need to join any organization." (End of this chapter)
