The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 218 The Battle of Eyes and Ears Has Begun

I was covered in a cold sweat.

Shen Liushu looked solemn and fell into deep thought.

Miao Yu said she wanted everything and wanted to have everything.

In today's world, things are easy to gain, but even easier to lose, and nothing can be held onto.

Light a cigarette and take a deep drag.

It's uncertain whether victory is assured in this game.

Wei Xiong has no way out now; the wife of a Japanese elite spy is someone he can't clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

He got up and walked towards the door; he still had two steps to go before he could finish.

......................................................

Naoki Sakai stared at Miao Yu.

The two fell silent, and Miao Yu waited for Sakai Naoki to make his choice.

"Ding-a-ling." "Ding-a-ling."

He reached for the phone and said, "Hello."

"Hey, Colonel Sakai, should we proceed with the original plan regarding Shen Liushu?" Nanzo Motoo asked.

Naoki Sakai frowned: "Is something wrong?"

"223 Liaison Officer Reply: Shen Liushu once managed to rescue 223."

"And we'll get rid of Li Ling, the traitor at Xinke Company."

"223 believes we need to carefully consider the issue of Shen Liushu," Nanzo Motoo reported.

Naoki Sakai smiled and said, "No need to change anything. We'll invite him out tomorrow night and proceed as planned."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He didn't mention 223, worried that Miao Yu would suspect something was amiss.

After a moment's thought: "Regarding your statement that our high-ranking mole is Nanzo-kun."

"As you said."

"I will immediately send investigators to his home to investigate and also monitor his various bank accounts."

"If any suspicious activity is found at his home, he will be immediately suspended from all his duties and placed in solitary confinement."

"You will take the place of the undercover agent that General Doi instructed you to identify."

"If there's anything fishy going on in his family, you'll be directly appointed as the head of the Special Higher Police Section."

"You yourself have the authority to command 'All-round 365' and 'Fifty-four Aces'."

"They also come into contact with other things quickly."

That's all for now.

"Go to the infirmary to have your injury checked first."

Miao Yu swayed her delicate body and stood up gracefully: "Yes, Section Chief Sakai."

Naoki Sakai watched Miao Yu's figure disappear into the distance.

He pondered to himself, "This woman is no ordinary person."

General Doihara was the one who made her the player, while he himself was just a facilitator.

Miao Yu played this game of chess against Zhou Lisheng.

..........................................

Zhou Lisheng carefully examined the list of Japanese female spies in Shanghai, titled "Comprehensive 365".

223 Li Caidan's name was indeed on it.

After drinking a cup of hot tea and relaxing your whole body, pick up the phone and make a call.

"Hello, boss. This is Zhou Lisheng." His voice was respectful.

"Hey, Lisheng, what's up?" His voice was booming and full of energy.

"Boss, we've obtained the list of Japanese female spies in Shanghai from 'Comprehensive 365'," Zhou Lisheng replied respectfully.

Dai Li, with his unchanging smile, asked, "Lisheng, do you think this list was obtained through improper means, or was it deliberately given to you by the other party?"

Zhou Lisheng's expression hardened, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his back: "It was indeed too easy to get this list. I could sense that something was wrong, but I still had no clue what to do."

"Lisheng, Beiping is in rebellion because of this list."

"I've managed to suppress the list from Nanjing."

"Shanghai is of utmost importance; you must find a way to handle it properly."

"The idea above is to eliminate those who are attached to ordinary powerful figures and those who are not particularly important."

"If female spies become too dependent on powerful figures, let's wait and see."

“Shanghai won’t do that; we can’t do it that way.”

"You need to come up with a way to eliminate them all."

"The Chairman has given an ironclad order that the great battle will begin in Shanghai, and our spies and informants must be destroyed."

"Lisheng, while you are concerned about this matter, you must pay close attention to the Special Higher Police Section of the Ministry of Home Affairs at the Japanese military base in Shanghai."

"The National Bureau of Statistics and the Special Higher Police are locked in a dead end."

"Your task is to play this game well and then destroy it."

"It takes your wisdom to avoid being destroyed by it."

"That's all for now, I have to go, I'll hang up now." The voice was loud and clear.

"Yes, boss." Zhou Lisheng hung up the phone.

He realized something: the exchange of information had already begun.

A sense of powerlessness arose in my heart.

"Bang!" "Bang bang!" "Go in!"

A confidential staff member walked in: "Director, you said we should keep an eye on Director Shen and Section Chief Chen, and talk to Section Chief Chen."

"This is a transcript of a wiretapped conversation."

"There were no listening devices installed in the rooms of Section Chief Chen and Section Chief Xiang."

"Only Director Shen's room has it."

"This is a transcript of the conversation the three had this morning, concerning the torture of Wei Xiong."

Zhou Lisheng said calmly, "Okay, go back and continue listening."

"Take good care of the statement."

Confidential clerk: "Yes, Director."

Zhou Lisheng picked up the wiretap transcript and looked at it.

Shen Liushu did not participate in the operation, but only offered some trivial suggestions to Chen Cha and Xiang Ning.

First, it's impossible for Xiang Ning to find Wei Xiong's wife and children in the safe house.

Secondly, even if Chen Cha finds out that Wen Xiansi tortured Wei Xiong, what can he do?

I guess Shen Liushu came up with this terrible idea to buy time for another day.

Because there are a few lines Xiang Ning says that are worth pondering.

"I can't afford the director's tea. Old Shen, you're turning us away."

"Isn't it just that he doesn't want to help Lao Wei?"

"You're so disloyal."

Then there's Chen Cha's words: "Don't try to change the subject. Why are you stopping us from seeing you?"

This is enough to show that Shen Liushu doesn't want to see them.

If Shen Liushu doesn't get involved, giving Wen Xiansi one day will be enough.

How could Wei Xiong conceal such a shameful matter without any problems?

............................................................

torture room.

Wei Xiong's skin was torn open during the whipping, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.

His face trembled slightly, turning deathly pale.

His eyes were bright and calm, filled with disdain.

Immediately afterwards, a red-hot branding iron was placed on the arm, making a "hissing" sound and swirling white steam.

The smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

Wei Xiong was in so much pain that his body kept convulsing.

He gritted his teeth, but no scream came out.

His eyes remained calm and steadfast as he looked at Wen Xiansi.

His heart was filled with desolation. He had worked diligently for the Party and the country in the Statistics Bureau, and had not seen his wife for three years.

He made countless contributions to Zhou Lisheng.

Nowadays, no one shows any mercy.

Zhou Lisheng knew Wen Xiansi better than anyone else.

He actually used a dog to torture himself.

This means he approves of the torture he was subjected to.

There's nothing I can do; I can only blame myself for seeing a woman who looks five parts like my wife.

I missed her so much that I mistook her for her.

The current situation is beyond explanation.

There were only two paths: to endure the punishment to the death and refuse to compromise until the very last breath.

He was betting that Zhou Lisheng wouldn't kill him, at least he had no evidence.

There is another way: someone will save you.

In the entire statistics bureau, the only one with the ability and hope to save himself was Shen Liushu, the womanizing section chief.

The head of the General Affairs Department is exceptionally capable, and moreover, recent observations suggest that Liu Shuke is no ordinary person.

Wen Xiansi looked at Wei Xiong, whose face was ashen: "Section Chief Wei, shouldn't you say something?"

Wei Xiong chuckled: "Wen Yin, you don't actually think you can force a confession with just a few words, do you?"

"I'll give you a piece of advice."

"You're just a pathetic wretch."

"Everyone sees a disgusting, pathetic wretch."

Wen Xiansi smiled sinisterly and said, "Is that so? I'll also give you a piece of advice."

“Your son is not as good as you; he's already crying and wailing before the torture has even begun.”

"Do you want to see him?"

Wei Xiong narrowed his eyes, his killing intent slashing towards Wen Xiansi's eyes like a hunting knife.

Wen Xiansi was completely fearless.

“Wei Xiong, a prisoner is a prisoner. If you can’t get past me, then you’re not going to be a prisoner.”

"There's no time left to show off."

"Punishing your desire to speak will not get you out of this torture chamber."
