Chapter 1387 The Kite with Broken String

In fact, the security work of the Japanese Special High Section was still worthy of Guan Haipeng's trust. As soon as the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station received the order to eliminate traitors from the headquarters, Boss Dai, it immediately began to investigate Guan Haipeng's whereabouts.

For this purpose, many secret lines of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Shanghai were mobilized, but unfortunately, the Military Intelligence Bureau personnel found that they had no way to get close to Guan Haipeng.

Therefore, the fact that someone had successfully killed the traitor Guan Haipeng could not be concealed, because all major newspapers in Shanghai reported on it in great detail, and some powerful newspapers even obtained the specific cause of Guan Haipeng's death.

Sure enough, this "Pollen Anti-Traitor Case" spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shanghai. The Military Control Commission Shanghai Station immediately reported the matter to the Military Control Commission headquarters, and everyone admired the powerful "little boy" in their hearts.

Mao Xian walked into Boss Dai's office with excitement on his face, "Boss, great news! Great news!"

"What's wrong with you?" The busy boss Dai looked up at Mao Xian in confusion.

"The Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station has successfully completed the assassination of the traitor Guan Haipeng."

"Oh? Which brave man from the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station was responsible for this? Headquarters must vigorously publicize and reward him."

However, Mao Xian explained to Boss Dai with a constipated expression, "Huh? Boss, it seems that Guan Haipeng was killed by that "little boy"."

"What? Does the "little boy" have such great abilities?" As expected, Boss Dai was shocked after hearing Mao Xian's explanation, and he couldn't help but start to re-examine this peripheral personnel.

"Boss, maybe we all underestimated this 'little boy.' When the Shanghai Special High Police arrested 'little boy' based on Guan Haipeng's confession, 'little boy's' safe house in the alleys of Zhabei was already deserted. Then, faced with a trap set by Japanese 'little boy' agents in the Shenbao Press, 'little boy' suddenly attacked and killed ten Japanese 'little boy' agents. 'Minamida Yoko,' the deputy chief of the Shanghai Special High Police, was also seriously injured. Then, they used mysterious means to cause the traitor Guan Haipeng's asthma to relapse and die."

"Interesting! It's really interesting. I didn't expect that a peripheral person from the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station could bring such a big surprise to our Military Control Commission."

"Boss, since 'Little Boy' has lost contact with our Military Control Commission, he naturally couldn't have known about the Military Control Commission headquarters' order to kill Guan Haipeng. So I guess 'Little Boy' was worried that Guan Haipeng would reveal his whereabouts, so he killed him."

"Well, your analysis is absolutely correct. It seems this 'little boy' is a meticulous fellow. He is also extremely fearless and ruthless. Now that Guan Haipeng is dead, there's no way anyone will recognize him."

Then Mao Xian looked at Boss Dai in front of him with a puzzled look and asked, "Boss, how should our Military Control Commission deal with this 'little boy'?"

"Hmph! Even if our Military Control Commission wants to deal with the "little boy", can you find his whereabouts now?" However, Boss Dai, who heard the hidden meaning behind Mao Xian's words, became displeased. Of course, he also believed that it was a taboo for subordinates to act on their own to kill their superiors.

"This……"

"Yahoo! I command you to contact Little Boy at all costs. Such a powerful and outstanding agent must not be like a kite with a broken string."

"Yes! Boss, I'm just a little worried that the connection methods might have been leaked. You know, Guan Haipeng, that spineless guy, must have already told the Japanese everything."

"That's fine! We just need to send out the usual signal. I believe that 'Little Boy' can handle these troubles. Otherwise, he doesn't deserve our Military Control Commission's important position."

"Yes! Boss, I know what to do."

Boss Dai and Mao Xian of the Military Control Commission are definitely not fools. They naturally have the greatest tolerance and patience for an agent with strong operational and intelligence-gathering capabilities, so they automatically ignored the fact that he killed his superior on his own initiative.

In addition, Boss Dai didn't care about the "little boy's" eccentricity and cruelty at all. Instead, he was eager to re-establish contact between the two parties.

Even seeing how much importance the Japanese now attach to the "little boy", one can still believe that all the tolerance the Military Control Commission has shown is worth it.

……

At this time, Suning was leisurely watching today's "Asahi Shimbun". The waitress Meiko kept looking at the handsome Suning with resentful eyes, and she couldn't wait to run to Suning and undress and devote herself to him.

However, all of Suning's attention was on the newspaper in his hand. He felt that the Japanese's mouthpiece was filled with a kind of mentally retarded madness, as if they thought that the vast and fertile land of China was really within their reach.

Finally unable to tolerate Suning's "coldness," Meiko ran over and asked, "Fujiwara-kun, did you enjoy today's Asahi Shimbun?"

"It looks great! It's all good news about the great victory of the Emperor's army." Suning secretly curled his lips and said sarcastically, but Meiko definitely couldn't detect Suning's sarcasm.

"That's great! I believe the Empire of Japan will be victorious soon."

"Meiko, I'm thirsty! Please pour me a glass of water." Suning, who didn't want to listen to Meiko's nonsense, naturally changed the subject.

"Hey! Fujiwara-kun, please wait a moment."

After the annoying Meiko left, Suning put down the Asahi Shimbun in his hand and picked up another newspaper, Shenbao.

Of course, the content in Shenbao is very normal. It is definitely not as stupid and idiotic as that in Asahi Shimbun. The news reported throughout the article is also relatively objective.

"Fujiwara-kun, your water."

"Thank you! I'll leave it there."

"Hi."

At this time, Su Ning was attracted by a missing person notice in the "Shen Bao" newspaper, because the content of this missing person notice was actually a secret message from the Military Control Commission to contact him. Su Ning couldn't help but feel a little strange, after all, he was just an insignificant little person.

In addition, Suning would not be so foolish as to follow the signal from above to make the connection, because the connection methods he knew were all from Professor Guan Haipeng. He believed that this dog traitor had already told the Japanese Special High Section.

Perhaps the Japanese Special High Police had also noticed this missing person notice and was secretly watching the Military Intelligence Bureau agents who wanted to contact him. If he dared to show up, it would definitely mean Game Over.

However, Suning still had a way to contact the Military Control Commission safely, because when Zhao Lina was giving him intensive training, she secretly told him another way to contact him without telling Guan Haipeng.

Of course, Suning would never have dared to believe it before, but Zhao Lina's heroic sacrifice dispelled Suning's doubts. Moreover, the contact person in this connection method was a character he was relatively familiar with, Ming Cheng, one of the male protagonists in "The Pretender" and also one of the four heroes of the Ming family.

Then, having made up his mind, Suning immediately began to act. He first wrote down the intelligence he had overheard during this period, which of course had been categorized and screened by himself. Then he wrote down the conditions he proposed to the Military Control Commission.

Shanghai, Jinling East Road, French Concession, Ming Mansion.

Ming Lou, the eldest son of the Ming family, is apparently the eldest son of the Shanghai Ming family. However, at this time, he is studying in Paris, France, and has a wide range of skills (economics, management) and other knowledge.

Minglou had been recruited by the Military Control Commission as early as 1932. Of course, at that time, the Military Control Commission was still the Lixing Society, its predecessor, so Minglou was definitely a senior figure in the Nationalist government's Military Control Commission. As for Mingcheng, Minglou's confidant, he was also recruited by the Military Control Commission. Mingcheng happened to be in Shanghai, so Suning's first thought was to contact Mingcheng.

Mingcheng, the official steward of the Ming family's Ming Mansion, lived in an orphanage since he was a child. Later, Aunt Gui, who worked in the Ming family, mistakenly recognized him as her own son, so she took him back to her home to raise him.

But the good times didn't last long. When Aunt Gui found out that Ah Cheng was not her son, her mood became erratic and she took her anger out on Ah Cheng.

This matter was then discovered by Mingjing and Minglou, brother and sister, so Mingjing drove Aunt Gui out of the Ming family and brought Ah Cheng to live with the Ming family. In fact, in her heart, she already regarded Ming Cheng as her own brother.

Of course, Acheng's main task is to take care of Minglou. Later, Minglou went abroad to study in Paris, France, and Acheng went abroad with him as his study companion. He happened to have just returned to China recently to do things for Minglou.

Mingcheng, dressed in a well-fitting casual suit, looked like a rich young man. He walked towards a black Cadillac with a black briefcase in his hand.

I just opened the door of the Cadillac and sat in, and put the briefcase on the passenger seat.

"Don't move!" However, a pistol suddenly stretched out from behind and pointed directly at the back of Mingcheng's head.

Ming Cheng was so frightened that he wanted to find out the other party's purpose. "Friend, it's just a request for money. There's no need to resort to violence, right?"

However, the mysterious man in the back seat forced the information into Mingcheng's hands, and then explained in a joking tone, "Alright! I don't have much time now, and I don't want to listen to your nonsense here. I am "Little Boy", a peripheral member of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station. It was "Red Rose" who asked me to come here to find you before she died. This is the information I have collected during this period. Please tell the Military Control Commission headquarters for me. I don't believe in your beliefs, and I don't want to be betrayed by you again. So you need to give me a special radio and code book. I will contact the Military Control Commission headquarters directly in the future. Don't probe my true identity now, and don't ask about the source of the information I provide. As long as your Military Control Commission headquarters confirms the authenticity of the information, you must pay me the corresponding activity funds."

"Huh? Hero, why don't I understand what you are saying?" Mingcheng's heart tightened but he decided to continue pretending to be confused.

As expected, Mingcheng's pretense of ignorance irritated the bad-tempered "little boy." "Fuck you! Don't keep whining to me. Believe it or not, I can blow your head off at any time."

"Huh? Hero calm down! Be careful the gun might go off accidentally."

"Hmph! Also! 'Red Rose' Zhao Lina swore to die rather than surrender, and her death was extremely tragic. I hope the Military Control Commission headquarters will treat her family well."

"I……"

"..." However, Suning was too lazy to pay attention to Mingcheng's chattering. He quickly got out of the car and fled from Ming Mansion.

When Mingcheng turned around to check the situation, Su Ning had completely disappeared. "Damn! He ran so fast! He might as well have called a rabbit."

Then Mingcheng sat in the car and opened the information passed by the "little boy". However, he was a little indifferent at first, but he became more and more shocked, because the information was very complicated and important. At this time, Mingcheng couldn't help but feel curious about the identity of the "little boy".

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Mingcheng immediately drove to a safe house in the French Concession and reported it to the Military Control Commission headquarters using the radio station on their line.

Chongqing, Military Control Commission Headquarters.

Mao Xian knocked on Boss Dai's office door with a look of surprise on his face, and then handed the intelligence in his hand to the bewildered Boss Dai, "Boss, 'Poison Fly' called, 'Little Boy' has contacted him and passed on important intelligence he collected recently."

"Oh? 'Poison Fly' is the major adjutant of the intelligence department of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station. How did the 'little boy' find 'Poison Fly'?" As expected, Boss Dai immediately asked the biggest question in his mind.

"Boss, Poison Fly explained in the telegram that it was Red Rose who secretly told Little Boy, so that spineless Guan Haipeng didn't know."

"Well, 'Red Rose' is indeed a heroine of our Military Control Commission. Tell the General Affairs Department to make sure her family is well taken care of."

"Yes! Boss, I will personally go to the General Affairs Department to make arrangements."

"Okay." Boss Dai then nonchalantly opened the intelligence file. However, after glancing at it, he stood up in shock. "What? What is the identity of the 'little boy' now? How did he get so much important information?"

"Boss, Poison Fly said that Little Boy is very hostile to our Military Intelligence Bureau. He won't let us inquire about his current identity or the source of his intelligence. He also demands a radio and a separate code book. He wants to communicate directly with our Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters. Once our headquarters confirms the authenticity of his intelligence, we will pay him the corresponding activity funds. He also gave us a Citibank account in the United States."

"Interesting! The 'little boy' really didn't disappoint us. I'm looking forward to him more and more now."

Then Mao Xian looked at Boss Dai in front of him with a puzzled look and asked, "Boss, what should we do about these harsh conditions proposed by the "little boy"?"

"Make 'Poison Fly' fully satisfied and cooperate. Also, transfer one thousand French francs to this account as activity funds, and promote 'Little Boy' to the rank of second lieutenant in the National Army." However, Boss Dai agreed to all of 'Little Boy's' requests without hesitation.

"Yes! Boss."

Then Boss Dai looked at Mao Xian in confusion and asked, "Mao Xian, with the ability of "Poison Fly", didn't you find out the identity of "the little boy"?"

Mao Xian immediately shook his head with a wry smile on his face. He couldn't help laughing when he thought of Ming Cheng's frustrated expression. "No! They didn't even have a formal meeting. The little boy passed the information to the poison fly by pointing a gun at the back of his head."

"Alas! It is our Military Control Commission that has let the 'little boy' down, otherwise why would the 'little boy' resort to such means?"

However, Mao Xian at this time was blaming Guan Haipeng nonchalantly, "Huh? Boss, this is all the fault of that damn Guan Haipeng."

"Hmph! What? Do you think there are not many spineless people like Guan Haipeng in the Military Control Commission?" But Boss Dai was soberly convinced that Guan Haipeng was definitely not the last traitor.

"This……"

Finally, Boss Dai thought for a moment and said to Mao Xian, "Alright! Also, tell Poison Fly to provide Little Boy with sufficient weapons and ammunition. I'm also looking forward to Little Boy's powerful mobility."

"Yes! Boss."

At this time, Maoxian also felt Boss Dai's respect for the "little boy". You know, it is a taboo for the Military Control Commission for subordinates to kill their superiors on their own initiative.

If Guan Haipeng was a "nail" deliberately planted by the Military Control Commission headquarters within the enemy, then the "little boy"'s behavior of not asking his superiors for permission would be intolerable. If it were any other intelligence officer, Boss Dai would definitely issue a killing order.

Boss Dai rarely treated a Military Intelligence Officer like this. It could be said that he exceeded the "little boy's" demands. Just the fact that he readily paid one thousand French francs for the activity expenses was unheard of.

The current Military Control Commission is not as extravagant as it was after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Boss Dai, who is short of funds, is most worried about funding every day. Things have become even more difficult since the Nationalist government moved its capital to Chongqing.
