Chapter 1391: Haunted by Ghosts
You should know that the intelligence organizations under Japanese militarism can be said to be diverse. Even companies with a little influence have to contribute to their empire, and even many Japanese people will spontaneously collect intelligence.

Now the Military Intelligence Bureau agent "Little Boy" has become the enemy of all Japanese agents in Shanghai, so these intelligence organizations are using all their powers to find "Little Boy", and of course, they have also made "Little Boy" a famous ace agent.

Unfortunately, even the Military Intelligence Bureau knew nothing about the "little boy", so the Japanese agents' search was doomed to be in vain.

However, at this time, Suning was entangled by the female Japanese soldier Minami Yoko, and it was obvious that this ruthless female Japanese soldier had taken a fancy to him. However, the thought of her horrible appearance and the bullet hole on her forehead made Suning shudder.

Meizi came up to Suning with a strange look on her face and said, "Fujiwara-kun, I have something to tell you."

"Meiko, what's wrong?" Su Ning turned his head in surprise and looked at Meiko in front of him.

“Maybe I’ll have to go back home?”

"Return home? Why do you want to return home suddenly?"

"I...I...I'm a little homesick."

"..." Suning naturally knew that Meiko was talking nonsense. You have to know that those who can join the pioneer group have no way to make a living.

As for missing home, it was completely impossible, and the strangeness on Meiko's face could not be hidden from others. Suning immediately realized what had happened to Meiko.

Thinking about the recent harassment from that female Japanese soldier, Suning immediately had his own guesses in his mind, because Minami Yoko was doing things very crazy now.

At this moment, Su Ning stared into Meizi's eyes and asked seriously, "Meizi, did something happen?"

"No...no." However, Meiko avoided looking directly at Su Ning.

"Meiko, tell me! What's going on?"

In the end, Meiko confessed everything to Suning, "Fujiwara-kun, Section Chief Minamida really likes you. Why don't you consider being with her?"

"Is it Yoko Minami who forced you to return to your country? And then asked you to give her a place?" Sure enough, things were exactly as he had guessed, which made Su Ning feel depressed.

"Ah."

"Hey! Meiko, I'm sure you're aware of the current situation back home. It's difficult for you to find a job in your situation, otherwise you wouldn't have left your homeland and come to Shanghai. As for working in a factory, that's only an opportunity for the families of Imperial soldiers. Your most likely fate is to be drafted as a comfort woman."

"Ah? Fujiwara-kun, I don't want to do a job like a comfort woman that is neither human nor ghost. Please go and beg Minami Yoko not to force me to return to my country." Sure enough, Suning's analysis made Meiko terrified.

However, Suning felt helpless and frustrated at the time. "Yoko Minami is really powerful in Shanghai! She is not something that small people like us can compete with."

"Ah... wuwuwu... am I really going to go back to my country and suffer?"

"Meizi, why don't you go to Hong Kong Island?"

"Ah? Hong Kong Island?"

"Yes! Mr. Kuroki's good friend, Natsuo Okamoto, is doing business in Hong Kong Island. You can go there and join him. You should know that there are many izakayas there. I will also ask Mr. Kuroki to write a letter of recommendation for you."

Meiko, who had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, couldn't help but burst into laughter again, "Hey! I'll trouble you, Fujiwara-kun."

"Hey! This matter was caused by me. Doing something for you can also make me feel at ease."

Then Suning found the izakaya owner Jiro Kuroki and briefly explained the matter to him. As expected, he got Jiro Kuroki's approval and help.

At this time, Suning looked at Meiko's reluctant figure, but he did not feel any reluctance or sadness in his heart. Instead, he felt a headache about how to deal with Meiko.

After Meiko boarded the ship bound for Hong Kong Island, Kuroki Jiro looked at Suning in confusion and asked, "Fujiwara-kun, how are you going to respond to Minami Yoko next?"

"What answer should I give her? I will never let her get what she wants." Su Ning naturally couldn't walk with that Minami Yoko, otherwise he would have nightmares every day.

"Then you haven't thought about the possibility that she might get angry?"

"Hey! Let's take it one step at a time!"

Then Kuroki Jiro gave Su Ning a suggestion, "Fujiwara-kun, the most fundamental solution is to find a wife as soon as possible, so that Minami Yoko will not be able to pester you anymore."

"Mr. Kuroki, finding a wife is not that easy. Besides, it is difficult to guarantee that Meiko's incident will not happen again." However, Suning was not optimistic about Kuroki Jiro's proposal.

"That's right! Your case is indeed a big trouble."

At this time, Jiro Kuroki was unable to help Suning. After all, he was very afraid of Yoko Minami's power. Even if he wanted to help Suning solve the problem, he was powerless.

Helpless Suning naturally understood his current situation, and couldn't help but want to ask the organization for help. However, with the nature of the Kuomintang and the Military Control Commission, he would most likely be abandoned by them.

In addition, as long as you choose to ask for help from the Military Control Commission, your identity will be exposed. You must know that exposing your identity means you are in complete danger.

As expected, Minamida Yoko, who had been staring at Suning, became very excited, thinking that no one would stand between her and Suning. "Fujiwara-kun, I heard that Meiko has returned to her country?"

"Yeah." Suning nodded somewhat depressedly, but he was thinking about how to solve the problem in his mind.

"That's really a pity. I will lose another friend in Shanghai." However, Yoko Minami could not hide her surprise on her face.

Su Ning, who was too lazy to talk nonsense with Minami Yoko, said perfunctorily, "Section Chief Minami, there are quite a lot of customers in the izakaya today, so I'll go to the kitchen first."

"Hey! Please feel free to do as you please, Fujiwara-kun."

Looking at Su Ning's leaving back, a smile appeared on Minami Yoko's face, as if Su Ning was already her prey.

Of course, Suning also felt particularly annoyed in his heart, and was ready to find a way to kill her. It was really annoying that the other party was pestering him like a vengeful ghost.

……

Although Mingcheng reluctantly returned to Shanghai, he immediately sent a signal to contact Suning and published the missing person notice in the Shenbao newspaper. The reappearance of the missing person notice aroused Wang Manchun's suspicion, "Section Chief Nantian, I feel that the missing person notice in the Shenbao newspaper is very strange."

"Oh? Miss Wang, have you discovered something new?" As expected, Wang Manchun's words made Minami Yoko become expectant.

"That's right! Usually, missing person notices are posted continuously for a period of time, and then the person is either successfully found or still not found. But posting them intermittently like this is really a bit strange."

"Strange? I don't find anything strange!"

"Section Chief Nantian, I suspect this missing person notice is the codeword sent by the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station to meet someone. However, it's not in the way Guan Haipeng originally told us to meet. Instead, it's reminding the "little boy" to meet at a fixed, secret location."

With a "bang", Minamida Yoko, who had understood what was happening, slammed the table in anger, "Bakayarō! These Military Intelligence Bureau agents are truly despicable. They can even come up with such a sinister trick."

"Section Chief, we should go to Shenbao now to investigate and see if we can find the person who posted the missing person notice." Then Wang Manchun immediately put forward her suggestion.

"Yoshi! This Shenbao newspaper is truly despicable. "Little Boy" originally worked as an English translator there, and now the newspaper is even assisting Military Intelligence Bureau agents in releasing information. This time, we must have an explanation from the Shenbao newspaper to our Special High Section."

However, Wang Manchun was very interested in the "little boy". "Section Chief, can I get some information about the "little boy"?"

"Of course! Actually, this isn't even important intelligence. The Military Intelligence Bureau agent codenamed 'Little Boy' was originally named Su Ning. He graduated from the Language Department of Soochow University and later joined the Military Intelligence Bureau. Guan Haipeng arranged for him to work at the Shanghai Shenbao Press. The Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station had originally planned to assign Su Ning to work alongside us Japanese as an interpreter, but they didn't expect their actions to be reported to the Special Higher Section by a broker."

"I see! It seems the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai branch doesn't think too highly of the 'little boy,' and the 'little boy' doesn't have a very strong background, otherwise why would the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai branch go to such great lengths to figure this out?"

Nan Tianyangzi was indeed excited when she heard Wang Manchun's analysis. She realized that Wang Manchun was indeed a talented agent with a keen sense of smell. "Sweep Daisinai! Miss Wang, your analysis makes sense, but the information provided by "Little Boy" to the Military Control Commission is very important. In which department do you think "Little Boy" is most likely lurking?"

"Huh? That's not so easy to find out. After all, Japan has many intelligence organizations in Shanghai, and it's difficult to determine the location of "Little Boy" right away."

"That makes sense! Miss Wang, I'd like to let you take charge of the "little boy" matter. What do you think?"

"This……"

"Ms. Wang, I know you're still thinking about the intelligence department that's about to be established, but that intelligence department is made up entirely of Chinese people like you. As long as you take up a position with our Japanese Special High Section, you'll represent our Japanese Special High Section in your new department."

"Yes! Section Chief, I'm sorry to trouble you from now on."

"Haha, Miss Wang, I hope you won't let me down. You must catch this damn 'little boy'."

"Yes, Chief."

What Minami Yoko said today really made Wang Manchun ecstatic. You know, Wang Manchun is a very ambitious woman, and she would naturally be eager for such an opportunity.

Meanwhile, Su Ning had already successfully connected with Ming Cheng, but he had put on a clever makeup beforehand. "Ming Cheng, haven't you already gone to Paris?"

"Hmph! My superiors asked me to stay in Shanghai and be your sole contact from now on." However, Mingcheng explained with an unhappy look on his face.

"Oh? It seems you're a little reluctant!"

Ming Cheng, with a gloomy face, tacitly agreed with Su Ning's opinion. He then took out a slip of paper with numbers written on it and handed it to Su Ning. "Hmph! From now on, I will publish missing person notices in Shenbao from time to time. The fake number I reserve will be one of these numbers. Then you will find a way to come here to meet me."

"Mingcheng, it seems that the leader of the Red Party sent you here?"

"Suning, you do know my identity, but I'm curious how you knew it. Don't push this onto that 'Red Rose' Zhao Lina anymore."

"It doesn't matter how I learned your identities. What matters is that I have no ill will towards you, the Red Party. Otherwise, you and Minglou would have been taken to the Military Control Commission headquarters for trial."

"This……"

Then Suning took out a piece of intelligence and handed it to Mingcheng, "Mingcheng, I happen to have some intelligence about your Red Party. It's the route map of the Japanese devils' next sweep of the southern Anhui region."

"Oh? You were able to get such important information?" Mingcheng's face was full of surprise after receiving the information.

"I went through a lot of trouble to get this information. How are you, the Red Party, going to thank me for my efforts?"

However, Mingcheng was determined to get Suning for free. "I'm sorry! We in the Red Party are not the wealthy Military Control Commission. We can't provide you with any rewards or compensation."

"How about you do me a favor?" At this time, Suning said a condition nonchalantly.

"What's the deal?"

"I'm in a huge trouble right now. A powerful Japanese woman is constantly harassing me. I know your Red Party has an insider in Japan. Please help me arrange a fake marriage with a powerful Japanese woman. Not only will this deter the harasser, but I can also pass on important intelligence I obtain through your people."

However, Mingcheng was noncommittal and wanted to find out Su Ning's identity. "So what is your current identity?"

"Mingcheng, since you, the Red Party, can't offer me any compensation, and my only condition is that you don't investigate my situation, the person you send can only be my single contact. As for my identity, I hope you will never inquire about it."

Unfortunately, Mingcheng was not too keen on establishing a close relationship with Suning, nor did he want to send such an important figure to stay with Suning. "Suning, this is against our organization's rules, because we cannot confirm the source of your information, nor can we verify the authenticity of the intelligence you provided."

You have to know that the Red Party’s insiders in Japan all come from international organizations, and it is not something the Red Party can decide on, so Mingcheng is not too optimistic about Suning’s request for help.

At this point, Su Ning waved his hand somewhat disinterestedly. "Whatever! You know, cooperation needs to be based on trust. Since you, the Red Party, don't trust me, then forget it."

"I'm sorry! But I will report your case as soon as possible. As for how our superiors will respond to you, I'm not sure."

"..."

In fact, compared with the National Government and the Military Control Commission Headquarters, Suning still believes more in the professional ethics of the Red Party. At least the Red Party will never plot to sell itself out, nor will it play any crazy game of death with the Japanese.

Unfortunately, the Red Party does not really believe in him now, nor does it dare to put too many chips on him. Sure enough, Mingcheng soon brought Suning the news that the Red Party rejected him.
