Genius Agent

Chapter 36: Very good at scheming

Huang Chuanming waited to see if anyone would come over. If someone was following him, they would arrive soon.

Everything went smoothly, and Huang Chuanming did not notice anything unusual.

Huang Chuanming knocked on the door of Old Meng's house, and Old Meng looked out.

"Mr. Meng."

"Come in and speak."

Old Meng led Huang Chuanming to the living room, poured him some hot water, and Huang Chuanming immediately told Old Meng all the information he had gathered in the past two days.

"Su Yuncheng actually has the power to influence the appointment of the Commissioner of Police?"

After hearing Huang Chuanming's explanation, Lao Meng was extremely surprised. This was the Commissioner of Police, a high-ranking official in the French Concession Municipal Council.

Su Yuncheng is just a small newspaper editor-in-chief. How can he have such great power?

"I was shocked at first, but he really did it."

Huang Chuanming nodded. Su Yuncheng and Dilang were close, and Su Yuncheng had already persuaded Dilang to go to the police force.

Tomoo Muto has made it clear that he supports Su Yuncheng and Dilang.

Duran is qualified, has good relationships with the French, and Muto Tomoo is willing to pay, so the chances of this succeeding are very high.

"This is important intelligence; I will report it for you."

Huang Chuanming is indeed excellent; he has obtained important intelligence once again. If the organization could know in advance about the change of the Commissioner of Police, it would be of great benefit to the organization.

They could make some arrangements in advance; they also had people in the French Concession police station.

And then there's Su Yuncheng; his importance has risen once again.

Correspondingly, Huang Chuanming's importance has also increased.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Huang Chuanming did not linger. After giving his report, he left quickly. On his way back, he paid special attention to his back and found that no one was following him.

Nothing happened that night, and Su Yuncheng didn't dream.

His previous dreams had been very rewarding, especially the dream he had the night before last, which showed him a different side of the Bund.

It's such a beautiful and dreamlike place.

He didn't know the exact time of his dream, but he was satisfied as long as the Chinese themselves had built the Bund so well.

Su Yuncheng believes that China, with its five thousand years of civilization, is currently just sleeping.

They will surely rise again in the future.

Su Yuncheng arrived at the newspaper office. In the past few days, the newspaper staff had been very proactive, collecting a lot of interesting news, which kept the newspaper's sales stable at over 10,000.

Everyone was eager to get a raise and, at the same time, to prove themselves.

However, a newspaper cannot grow big by relying solely on rumors. Currently, it relies on these news stories to attract readers and stabilize sales.

To continue increasing newspaper sales in the future, there must be a sufficient number of major news stories.

Big news requires more manpower and equipment, so Tomoo Muto will probably have to continue investing money. However, as long as it can be done, Tomoo Muto is definitely willing to spend the money.

He is a discerning person.

The Du Mansion in the French Concession.

Shen Mozhou was standing in front of Du Risheng.

"Mr. Du, on behalf of the Director, I thank you for your help this time."

Shen Mozhou was very polite. He had come to Du Risheng's place on orders. Du Risheng had gone to Cao's mansion yesterday, actually to help the Special Service Department.

"Since Cao Yinshan didn't agree, I couldn't help you. There's no need for polite words."

Du Risheng sighed, but the favor the Special Service Department wanted Cao Yinshan to do this time was indeed too great, so it was normal for Cao Yinshan to refuse.

"Yes, I'll take my leave now."

Shen Mozhou left on orders to express his gratitude. This matter was indeed significant, and Cao Yinshan, being an old fox, would not easily get involved in such matters.

"Think of another way."

Du Risheng saw Shen Mozhou out and said softly that he had a good relationship with the director of the Special Service Department, who was a very shrewd and opportunistic person.

Only people like this can climb higher in the future. Du Risheng is very optimistic about the future of the Special Service Department.

They're called the Special Service Department now, but in the Ming Dynasty they would be the Embroidered Uniform Guard, people close to the emperor. If you did well, you could have a promising future.

If you don't do it well, the consequences will be dire.

"Thank you, Mr. Du."

Shen Mozhou thanked him again and left in a hurry.

"Teacher, you're back."

Shen Mozhou returned to his residence, and Chen Yansheng immediately came over.

"How's the data collection going?" Shen Mozhou asked casually.

"There are quite a few already. Su Yuncheng is from Hangzhou and grew up in Hangzhou. His parents were overseas students and never came back. However, Su Yuncheng's grandfather is very powerful."

"His grandfather?"

Shen Mozhou looked up, while Chen Yansheng reported in detail what he had learned.

Su Yuncheng's grandfather had made a name for himself in Shanghai in his early years.

Grandpa Su doesn't form cliques and prefers to work alone, but he is righteous, skilled in martial arts, and has helped many people. Cao Yinshan and Lu Mingxuan have both benefited from Grandpa Su's kindness.

Many of the connections Su Yuncheng has now are left to him by his grandfather.

"His family background is fine, but what about his situation during his studies in Japan?"

Shen Mozhou nodded slightly, while Chen Yansheng shook his head: "All I know so far is that Su Yuncheng had excellent grades during his studies in Japan, which caught the eye of Takahashi, who took him under his wing. Muto Tomohiro was also Takahashi's student and treated Su Yuncheng the best."

The time frame is too short, and it won't be easy to find out what happened to Su Yuncheng during his studies in Japan. To find out the details, we'll probably have to send someone to Japan to investigate.

You can only get a partial picture from Shanghai.

"Well done. I'm going back to Nanjing today. Find some time to go to the newspaper office, place a missing person ad, and see Su Yuncheng."

The investigation will continue, but there's no rush. Shen Mozhou needs to return to Nanjing to report on the events of the past few days; Chen Yansheng doesn't need to go back with him.

This is a good opportunity for Chen Yansheng to go to the newspaper office and get to know Su Yuncheng better.

Is it a newspaper? It's normal to publish a missing person notice.

"Yes, teacher."

Chen Yansheng replied that it would be difficult to meet Su Yuncheng by simply posting a missing person notice, since he was the editor-in-chief and ordinary editors could usually handle such a small matter.

He needed to come up with a better reason, at least to see Su Yuncheng.

In the afternoon, the newspaper staff were laying out the pages, preparing for tomorrow's paper.

Chen Yansheng, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, arrived at the newspaper office entrance.

"Hello, what would you like to do?"

Chen Yansheng walked into the main office, and Xiao Wang immediately came to greet him.

"I want to place a missing person ad."

Chen Yansheng said softly, and Xiao Wang immediately nodded: "Okay, how long do you want to climb?"

Their newspaper offers services such as missing person notices, which are reasonably priced.

Small newspapers generally don't charge high fees. If the price is too high, people will choose large newspapers, as more people will see the content and it will have a better effect.

"Seven days."

"Seven days?"

Xiao Wang looked up and saw that missing person notices are usually posted for one or three days.

Few people choose seven days.

Missing person notices have a time limit, and their effect usually lasts for a few days. Three days is already a considerable amount of time, enough for the person looking for them to see it.

If you can't see it, you probably won't see it again after a while.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the editor-in-chief."

They have rates for one day and three days, but very few people post missing person notices for seven consecutive days.

They didn't set a price; Xiao Wang really needs to ask Su Yuncheng.
