Genius Agent

Chapter 105 Deliberately Sabotaging

"A ruthless bandit? What a ruthless bandit! What a coincidence that he wiped out the person you were watching?"

Ji Bojun shouted fiercely, and Ding Weiran lowered her head even further.

He was also frustrated. He had discovered this Communist Party member several days ago, and his men had been keeping a close watch on him, hoping to dig out more useful clues and arrest more Communist Party members.

As a result, a few hapless bandits ran over today and, without saying a word, went into the store and started killing people.

Ding Weiran had set up a surveillance point in the house across the street. By the time his men arrived, the Red Army had already been killed and Mao's bandits had fled.

His men panicked and rushed back to report.

When Ding Weiran received the report from his subordinate, his first reaction was disbelief; he thought his subordinate was joking with him.

After confirming the facts and that the bodies had been taken away by the police, Ding Weiran felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

This was a case the station chief knew about, and he was even thinking of using this Communist Party member to gain a major credit and solidify his own position.

Station manager Ji Bojun hasn't been in Shanghai for long, so he definitely deserves this credit.

Now that the credit is gone, it's already a relief that Ji Bojun only scolded him.

"Station Boss, I'll find those petty thieves and kill them to avenge you."

"Vent your anger, what's the use of venting your anger?"

Ji Bojun slammed his hand on the table, startling Ding Weiran.

"Keep searching for me; we must find new members of the Red Party."

Ji Bojun roared, "The person is already dead. The Red Party won't go directly to claim the body. They've grown very quickly over the years, and it's difficult to find new Red Party members through the corpse."

He needs to find credit elsewhere.

Fortunately, he didn't report the incident, otherwise his merit would have turned into a fault.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away and find new Red Party members."

Ding Weiran hurriedly replied, "This hurdle is cleared, but what about the next one?"

Although he is the station chief's confidant, if they fail to produce results, not only will his position be precarious, but the station chief's position will also be unstable.

If the station manager leaves, his fate will be dire.

Next, he must find new Red Party members; this time, he cannot afford to be careless.

Nanshi, at an intersection.

"Brother, he's gone."

A man approached a man who was short but had a large head, nicknamed "Big Head," and said that he was the leader of the Green Gang on Gongguan Road.

"It's gone! How could it be gone?"

Big Head asked angrily, "A group of ruthless outsiders actually killed someone in my downtown area!"

He must take charge of this matter, otherwise he will not be able to gain the respect of the people in the future.

Big Head had over a hundred men and considerable power. He led more than thirty capable brothers, armed with guns, and pursued the enemy all the way to Nanshi.

But when they arrived in Nanshi, the ruthless bandits they were chasing disappeared.

"They've really disappeared. The brothers have asked a lot of people, but nobody knows where they went."

At this point, the person who came to report hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Our brothers didn't find the person, but they found out something: two cars went to a deserted place, and the thugs disappeared there as well. It's possible that the person was picked up by the cars."

"car?"

Big Head looked at him in surprise. How could a few outside bandits have a car?

"Go and find out who owns those two cars right away."

Big Head wasn't stupid to become a minor leader in the Green Gang; there was something fishy about this. The bandits weren't as simple as he thought.

"Yes, brother."

These Green Gang members each had their own territory, but they also maintained connections with each other. They were more aware than anyone else of what was happening in their respective territories.

They're not just local bullies; they're truly capable.

At the Shanghai station of the Special Service, Du Ruolin, the head of the intelligence team, came out of the station chief's office with a smile on his face.

The killer today was not a ruthless bandit, but one of his men.

The Shanghai station unexpectedly discovered that the Party Affairs Investigation Department was keeping an eye on a Communist Party member. Du Ruolin wanted to snatch the person away from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, but the station chief, Wang Hengxin, vetoed the idea.

The Party Affairs Investigation Department has its sights set on people, and they'll seize them by force. Even if they manage to catch someone, the Party Affairs Investigation Department won't let the matter rest.

The lawsuit will definitely go to the old man.

The Party Affairs Investigation Department was responsible for dealing with the Red Party. Once the higher-ups found out, they couldn't protect the person; they would either be secretly executed or handed over to the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

They won't get any credit afterward.

This was a thankless task, and Wang Hengxin didn't want to cause trouble for himself, but he also wouldn't just stand by and watch Ji Bojun make a contribution.

The best way is to cause them trouble.

Just then, a few new recruits arrived in the intelligence group. Du Ruolin instructed them to disguise themselves as bandits and kill the Red Party members being monitored by the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

The operation was a great success, and Wang Hengxin was very satisfied.

This is also a merit, and the Director will like it very much.

In Nanjing, Secretary Qi brought a telegram to the magistrate's office.

"Chief, a call from Shanghai Station."

Secretary Qi delivered the telegram, and after the director read it, a smile appeared on his face.

"Wang Hengxin did a good job. Tell him I will remember this credit."

Those who assassinate the Communists certainly cannot make their actions public. The credit for this operation in Shanghai can only be recorded for now, and they can be rewarded in the future under other pretexts.

"Yes, Chief."

Secretary Qi lowered his head and left. The director would be very happy to have something to say about the Party Affairs Investigation Department, no matter what it was.

Old Xu was ambitious but lacked talent; he was no match for their superiors.

If it weren't for the old man's need to maintain a balance, and Xu Laogui's strong connections, they could have completely suppressed the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Su Yuncheng guessed correctly; the ruthless bandit was indeed an agent in disguise, and specifically someone from the Shanghai station of the Special Service.

The next day, Huang Chuanming arrived at the newspaper office early.

Last night he went to see Mr. Meng and confirmed that the dead tailor Wang was their comrade.

And he is Lao Meng's best friend.

Old Meng was very saddened by Wang the tailor's death, but he still told Huang Chuanming not to get involved in the matter.

The organization will investigate and find out the truth.

Huang Chuanming's current task is to lie in wait and learn from Su Yuncheng. He doesn't need to actively collect any intelligence, and Lao Meng won't give him any tasks either.

Ensure Huang Chuanming's safety.

In his office, Su Yuncheng finished reading all the newspapers for the day.

Their newspaper sales increased again.

Sales have been consistently around 15,000 units recently, so reaching 20,000 units shouldn't be difficult.

With the expansion of scale, the addition of equipment, and the availability of funding, along with the development of many more news informants, Su Yuncheng's abilities make it entirely possible to increase newspaper sales to 20,000 copies.

Just as he put the newspaper down, Su Yuncheng suddenly stood up.

Birdsong could be heard outside; this was the signal from Youtiao (a type of fried dough stick).

The flute's sound is quite noticeable; it's fine to use temporarily, but using it continuously will easily attract attention.

The signals that you use regularly should ideally be inconspicuous and go unnoticed.

The birdsong was perfect.

"Brother Yuncheng."

Once outside, Su Yuncheng quickly saw Youtiao, who immediately reported to him upon seeing him.

He didn't go looking for the ruthless bandits; he mainly got information from Big Head's men.

Da Tou led his men to Nanshi, where the ruthless bandits disappeared. Later, Da Tou's men investigated a car and, after finding out the vehicle's information, Da Tou immediately returned to the concession without continuing the investigation.

Not even a single person was left.

"Brother Yuncheng, I haven't found out where the car is from yet. Should I go ask?"

You Tiao asked proactively, "Vehicle information is key. Big Head must know something, which is why he withdrew so thoroughly. He obviously won't continue to pursue these ruthless bandits."
