You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 109 Confession [1200 additional readings]

Today, when Wang Yiya went to Ding Moqun's office to deliver the intercepted telegram, she saw a strange man in Ding Moqun's office.

Combining the intelligence previously obtained from the organization, Wang Yiya guessed that the man was one of the Military Control Commission agents arrested by Nanjing.

If this is really the case, then the identities of the six people Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng brought back today need to be investigated.

Also, what happened today was so weird.

Early in the morning, Ma Shangcheng brought back six suspected Military Control Commission agents, who were then all shot dead by Zhao Xuan.

Before Wang Yiya could react and figure out what was happening, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Shangcheng and Dao Yan brought back six more people.

So, were the six people in the morning Military Intelligence Bureau agents, or were they the six sent back in the afternoon?
No, it should be five!

There is another problem that Wang Yiya can't figure out.

Shortly after delivering the telegram to Ding Moqun, Zhang Sanjin drove away.

It is no secret in No. 76 that Zhang Sanjin is Ding Moqun's confidant.

Therefore, Zhang Sanjin's departure should be related to the telegram he sent to Ding Moqun's office.

But she couldn't decipher the telegram at all, but obviously, Ding Moqun could decipher it!
And that telegram came from Shancheng, which made Wang Yiya suspect that there was Ding Moqun's spy lurking inside Shancheng.

But even if Wang Yiya figured this out, there was nothing she could do.

With a slight sigh, Wang Yiya decided to report today's events to Uncle Sun.

After thinking for a while and checking the time, Wang Yiya also put on his windbreaker and left the office.

Hankou Road, back room of Guanghua Bookstore.

Sun Jianzhong really didn't expect that Yang Huamei would come to him at this time.

After pouring a glass of water for Yang Huamei, Sun Jianzhong asked while smoking his cigarette:

"Piaoxue, you came in such a hurry, could it be that the mysterious comrade gave you some information again?"

Seeing Yang Huamei nod, Sun Jianzhong, who was just guessing, was stunned for a moment:
"It really is!"

"What information did that comrade convey to you?"

Yang Huamei looked at Sun Jianzhong with a serious expression:
"Uncle Sun, he told me that one of our comrades in Nanjing was arrested by Wang Te and has now been transferred to No. 76 for detention."

"The comrade who was arrested was codenamed Scholar!"

pat!

The pipe in Sun Jianzhong's hand fell to the ground. Seeing this, Yang Huamei knew that Uncle Sun must know the scholar.

Sun Jianzhong hurriedly picked up his pipe and asked excitedly:

"Tell me what happened from beginning to end."

Listening to Yang Huamei's narration, Sun Jianzhong's expression became more serious:
"In other words, Comrade Shusheng was among the six people who were brought back this afternoon?"

Yang Huamei nodded:

"Uncle Sun, you know the scholar, and you seem surprised that he was arrested?"

Sun Jianzhong wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when he saw that the tobacco in the pipe had been knocked out just as it hit the ground, Sun Jianzhong put down the pipe in his hand, sighed and said:
"I know him, and he's been caught, so we're in big trouble!"

"Comrade Shusheng has important intelligence in his hands, so the organization has conveyed the order for me to pick up Comrade Shusheng and ensure his safety and deliver him to the base safely. But now Comrade Shusheng has been arrested."

Yang Huamei frowned slightly, looked at Sun Jianzhong with a puzzled expression and asked:
"Uncle Sun, do you mean that Comrade Shusheng was exposed before?"

Sun Jianzhong shook his head:
"He was not exposed. He just obtained an important piece of information. Once this information appears in the open, it is equivalent to exposing him."

"So the organization decided to move Comrade Shusheng to the rear. I haven't even formulated a plan to pick him up yet, but he was arrested first!"

Seeing Sun Jianzhong's sad face, Yang Huamei felt bad too. Such accidents were too common on the secret front.

Often when this happens, the arrested comrades rarely survive.

So you can never rely on luck.

"Uncle Sun, what should we do now?"

Sun Jianzhong pondered for a while, and when he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Sun Jianzhong glanced at Yang Huamei, gritted his teeth and made a decision:
"Piaoxue, go open the door."

Yang Huamei nodded and walked towards the door curiously.

When the door opened and she looked at the person standing at the door, Yang Huamei's brain froze for a moment.

"It's you!?"

"It's you!!!"

The two spoke at the same time, and Sun Jianzhong, who was sitting in the room, hurriedly said:

"Come in first."

That’s right, the one who came here looking for Sun Jianzhong was Wang Yiya.

Neither Wang Yiya nor Yang Huamei had expected that they were both lurking in No. 76.

After watching the two people sizing each other up and sitting down, Sun Jianzhong said:
"Originally I shouldn't have let you two meet in this way, but now the situation is urgent and you two must join forces."

"Yiya, this is Comrade Piaoxue, Xiaoyang, this is Comrade Baicha."

Wang Yiya and Yang Huamei looked at each other and smiled. After they stretched out their hands and shook hands, Wang Yiya smiled and said:

"Hello, Comrade Piaoxue."

"Hello, Comrade Baicha."

After introducing each other, Wang Yiya looked at the two people who looked very unhappy and asked doubtfully:
"Uncle Sun, what happened? You two look so ugly!"

Sun Jianzhong sighed and asked Yang Huamei to repeat the situation. Then Wang Yiya's baby face became gloomy.

"Sure enough, there are problems with the six people Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng brought back today."

"Since the scholar is among those six people, our first task now is to determine who is the scholar among the six, and then we can formulate a rescue plan."

When Yang Huamei heard this, she immediately raised her hand and patted her forehead:

"Um, sorry, I was in such a hurry just now that I forgot the other piece of information Comrade Chen Guang gave me."

"Morning light?"

While Yang Huamei was taking out a piece of white paper from her windbreaker pocket, Wang Yiya and Sun Jianzhong asked at the same time.

"Who is Chen Guang?"

Wang Yiya frowned, having no impression of this code name or name at all.

Sun Jianzhong asked excitedly:

"Piaoxue, is this Chen Guang the mysterious man?"

Yang Huamei nodded quickly and spread out the paper in her hand:

"Look, the person above is the scholar."

Sun Jianzhong smiled, finally knowing the code name of the mysterious man. It seemed that Comrade Chen Guang had been observing his contact person before.

Now that Yang Huamei has met the requirements, he told Yang Huamei his code name.

After imagining this, Sun Jianzhong leaned over and saw the person in the painting. He took another deep breath.

"Uncle Sun, why are you so startled today?"

Sun Jianzhong pointed at the person above him, his face showing shame, regret, shock, but mostly surprise:

"He is an old friend of mine. He taught at the university back then, but he suddenly left the Magic City. When I heard from him again, he had become a traitor to the Wang Puppet regime. I didn't expect that he was actually our comrade."

"Scholar, this code name fits his image quite well."

Yang Huamei sighed and showed great respect to the scholar:
"Join the game with your own body, and the scholar comrade is righteous."

Hearing this, Sun Jianzhong smiled with relief, looked at the two people in front of him and said:
"And so are you two."

"Okay, let's talk business first. Piaoxue, can you take the initiative to contact Comrade Chenguang?"

Yang Huamei smiled bitterly and shook her head:
"He hung up the phone before I could even ask. Chen Guang has become more and more mysterious to me. Sometimes I feel like he is right next to me, or even at No. 76. But sometimes I feel like he is lurking in the Japanese organization. Recently, I feel like he seems to be wandering around the outside world. He is too mysterious. I can no longer imagine what kind of person Comrade Chen Guang is." Listening to Yang Huamei's sigh, Wang Yiya also nodded:
"And the person who slipped me a note last time should be Comrade Chen Guang. It seems that we have all had dealings with Comrade Chen Guang to some extent."

Sun Jianzhong sighed. They couldn't take the initiative to contact Chen Guang, which made them lose a great help.

"Since we can't contact Chen Guang, I believe he will not ignore Comrade Shusheng. He may continue to contact you in the future. Piaoxue, you have to stand guard."

Piaoxue nodded quickly:

"Don't worry, Uncle Sun. I have a plan in mind."

"Okay, now that the scholar's identity has been confirmed, here's the rescue plan."

"It's impossible to force our way into No. 76 to save him. The most important thing for us now is to find out whether Comrade Shusheng will be transferred to another place for detention."

"The information he carries is very important. The Japanese will not leave it alone. If the Japanese intervene, then our chance will come, but we only have one chance. So, Piaoxue, Baicha, next, it will be up to you to find out when Comrade Shusheng will be transferred, and even the transfer route."

Piaoxue frowned and did not reply immediately. Wang Yiya also said with worry:
"Uncle Sun, I think the first thing we need to figure out is not these, but how did the scholar get exposed?"

"Perhaps after figuring this out, we will know whether the Japanese will intervene. It is too risky to directly investigate No. 76."

After listening to this, Yang Huamei immediately said:

"Then we will start from two aspects."

"Bai Cha and I will try to contact the scholar. Uncle Sun, you try to find out why the scholar was exposed."

"No matter which side of us does it first, we can figure out the situation of the scholar being exposed."

There was no other way now, so Sun Jianzhong agreed to this plan after thinking for a while.

In Office Building 76, at eight o'clock in the evening, the lights in the Operations Department's office were still brightly on.

Zhao Xuan came to the director's office first, carrying two lunch boxes.

Seeing Zhao Xuan knocking on the door and coming in, Ding Moqun was a little surprised. He thought that Zhao Xuan was dissatisfied with him for assigning all the tasks to Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng.

But after seeing the lunch box in Zhao Xuan's hand, Ding Moqun smiled:

"Ah Xuan, you don't have to run all the way here at this late hour. I've already asked the cafeteria to prepare some midnight snacks."

Zhao Xuan walked forward silently, took out three lunch boxes from the bag and placed them on the desk in order. Zhao Xuan opened the lunch boxes and said:
"Uncle, the food outside is never as good as the food at home. The food at home is more comfortable to eat, isn't it?"

Ding Moqun was stunned for a moment. Zhao Xuan was saying that family members are always more useful than outsiders, and they make people feel at ease using them.

This is pointing at Ma Shangcheng!

Thinking of this, Ding Moqun laughed and nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, you're right."

"But sometimes, you have to eat outside because you have no other choice."

"But no matter what, I still miss the food at home the most."

After saying that, Ding Moqun put down the work in his hands, took the chopsticks handed to him by Zhao Xuan, and started eating.

"Hmm, it tastes good. Why did the chef at home change?"

Zhao Xuan pulled a chair and sat down, and replied indifferently:
"No, but one more person was added."

"Mrs. Li is basically only responsible for making breakfast now. Aunt Liu asked for leave before, so she recommended one of her sisters to help out at home."

"These dishes were made by Aunt Zhang. Her cooking skills are quite good."

Ding Moqun praised the food again and again. Zhang Ma's cooking skills were indeed good. However, after taking a few bites, Ding Moqun squinted his eyes and said:

"The cooking is excellent, but the food tastes a bit familiar. For a moment I can't remember where I've eaten this before."

Zhao Xuan looked at Ding Moqun calmly, feeling slightly surprised.

Is this the special sense of smell of a veteran agent?

That Zhang Ma is a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, but her methods of hiding her own habits are not as good as those of Watanabe Anko.

After several observations, Zhao Xuan has discovered some of Zhang Ma's little habits. Those habits are subconscious and even Zhang Ma herself is not aware of them.

But once the senior agents see her, they will definitely doubt Zhang Ma's identity.

Fortunately, Ding Moqun did not go home for the past two days. Otherwise, on the first day of Zhang Ma's undercover work, even if her identity was not exposed, she would have been included in Ding Moqun's key observation list.

Zhao Xuan couldn't understand why Watanabe Anko would send such a not-so-perfect spy to lurk around?

The office fell silent. Ding Moqun wiped his mouth after finishing his dumplings and a plate of stir-fried dishes. Seeing Zhao Xuan sitting there in silence, Ding Moqun sighed and said:

"Ah Xuan, you have to understand your uncle's difficulties."

"Aizawa Keiko is not someone you can easily get along with. Her purpose for coming to No. 76 is too obvious. The Japanese are trying to sideline me bit by bit."

"Now, I can only seize every opportunity to keep No. 76 firmly in our family's hands."

"Especially the current Telecommunications Department. The radio car will be coming down soon. The Telecommunications Department will definitely become the trump card department of No. 76. Therefore, I absolutely cannot let go of the Telecommunications Department. Xiaodao is already the acting department chief. It is better to remove this title as soon as possible."

Seeing a smile on Zhao Xuan's face, Ding Moqun reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Uncle, I understand all of this. Don't worry, as long as I'm in the Intelligence Department, no one can take it away from you."

"As for how to take Daoyan's proxy, it's up to uncle to arrange it. I won't interfere in this matter."

"However, what happened this morning, uncle is not just trying to test me, right?"

Ding Moqun laughed, stood up, and pulled Zhao Xuan to sit on the sofa.

"Did you see it?"

Zhao Xuan looked directly into Ding Moqun's eyes. Under his gaze that seemed to be able to see through people completely, Zhao Xuan said directly:

"If Daoyan and Ma Shangcheng hadn't brought back the six people in the afternoon, I really wouldn't have realized that the six people in the morning were arranged by my uncle."

Ding Moqun nodded. This was what Ding Moqun thought of when Zhao Xuan mentioned this matter just now.

"Yes, I was testing you this morning because I wanted to give you the task that Xiaodao and the others were supposed to do, but something unexpected happened. I didn't expect that Keiko Aizawa would be parachuted into my position at No. 76 and serve as deputy director."

"So, uncle, you want to completely control the telecommunications department first, and don't want Keiko Aizawa to have any chance to take advantage of you?"

Ding Moqun nodded:

"Originally, I asked Keiko Aizawa to come here this morning. With her here, after you pass the test, the Japanese will know that you are trustworthy. Then I can take advantage of the situation and assign you the important person to do the job."

"Once you complete this mission, plus your contribution in arresting Yan Gang and Fang Yue, you can compete for the position of deputy director. What a pity."

Zhao Xuan nodded slowly:

"I understand uncle, let's just talk it out."

Ding Moqun was very pleased. He patted Zhao Xuan on the shoulder and said:

"You are much smarter than Xiaodao, and you can see farther than Xiaodao. In our current Ding family, the only one who can catch up with you is Xiaoya, but I don't want Xiaoya to go down this path. That girl is too erratic and she is not suitable for this path. So, Xuan, you should understand what your uncle means."

"I can't stay in this position forever. I either move up or down."

"When that day comes, you will be the only one who can truly protect this family. Xiaodao can only serve as your assistant, which is already her limit."

Ding Moqun's words were to tell Zhao Xuan that no matter what he did now or how he distributed the credit, in the end, the greatest credit would definitely go to Zhao Xuan.

During his reign, he will definitely train Zhao Xuan to the level where he can take over his position.

Zhao Xuan naturally understood:
"Uncle, please stay in this position with peace of mind. Without you, who will take the blame for me if I get into trouble?"

Hearing this, Ding Moqun laughed again.

This was the first time Zhao Xuan joked with him like this.

"Okay, kid. Then I will try to stay in this position for a few more days."

Talking about this, Zhao Xuan also said logically:
"Uncle, I know you have a great achievement in your hands, so I will take the credit and reserve it first!"

Ding Moqun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and nodded after a while:

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, okay, I'll keep the credit for you."

"But you have to be mentally prepared. That achievement is indeed a great one, but such an achievement will backfire if you are not careful. I didn't want to take on this hot potato, but..."

"Forget it. When the time comes, I will come to discuss it with you in detail."

(It is not so easy to take credit for the underground party members' achievements. Chen Shangqing is a big surprise. The higher-ups only know that Chen Shangqing's confidant brought the information stolen from Wang Da into the Magic City, but no one knows what the information is or who Chen Shangqing's confidant is. Alas, it is not so easy to take credit.)
